While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” the court of appeals, of oregon, hands down Klein v. oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, upholding a 135,000 “dollar” fine against Melissa E. and Aaron W. Klein for refusing, on religious grounds, to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.

       Postscript: The initial fine plus interest and legal fees forced the Kleins to close their business.
