BLACKMAILED Jerry Falwell Jr. into endorsing Trump in 2016. We don't seem to able to rely on the government to investigate such things.

settlement money paid to Falwell.

The USA is so stunted about human sexuality. Falwell’s wife and maybe Falwell got jaded with monogamy and wanted to mess around (with younger men in his wife’s case). That would be perfectly fine with me if they were not trying to be morality judges of other people’s actions at the same time.

of dollars worth of real estate that was owned by the university. That certainly takes it outside the realm of mere sexual pecadillos. It is interesting that the article below was published a year ago, and they are only now (after the latest salacious pool boy revelations) getting around to investigating.

But the board would have had to approve most, if not all, of his spending. Maybe they need a new board.
