Massachusetts Middle Schoolers Protest Pride Event

 June 14, 2023

Students at a Burlington, Massachusetts, middle school destroyed LGBTQ Pride decorations and chanted that their pronouns are "USA" in protest after being asked to wear rainbow-colored shirts to school earlier this month.

Clad in red, white and blue, the Marshall Simonds Middle School students tore down the decorations lining the hallways and ripped up Pride flag stickers, according to NBC10 Boston.

"I was shocked and horrified," Nila Almstrom, parent of an LGBT student, said during a town meeting about the protest.

Partisan 'experts' should have no credibility while pushing gender transitions for children

 

June 14, 2023

The Biden administration has a pedophile pushing policy.  Bill Clinton pushed oral sex as being okay.  Obama pushed for more abortions.

As European countries continue to restrict gender transition procedures for children, the Biden administration continues to go full speed ahead in the anti-science crusade that it continues to pretend is about facts and evidence.

Rachel Levine, the assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services , has been one of the key figures in pushing “gender-affirming care” on children. Levine, who is a biological man who identifies as a woman, said, “As assistant secretary for health, I am urging us to base medical care on facts and medical evidence. Gender-affirming care is medical care. Gender-affirming care is mental healthcare. Gender-affirming care is literally suicide prevention care.”

'TRANTIFA:' Experts warn of 'increasing trend' of extremism and violence from far-left transgender activists

 

June 13, 2023

UN investigator Reem Alsalem warned that 'freedom of speech and thought, including on the issues of sex, gender, and gender identity' are under attack

From shootings to riots, Antifa and feminist experts warn that radical transgender activists are growing increasingly violent and extreme, with some using the term "Trantifa" to describe the phenomenon.

While Antifa is the far-left "anti-fascist" militant movement often associated with black clothing, face-masks and violent protest, the new term "Trantifa" has been "coined on social media to highlight the strong transgender presence within the anarchist outfit," according to The Daily Mail, which used the definition of "far-left transgender activists willing to intimidate, harass and even use violence to advance their radical new ideas about gender."

UN investigator Reem Alsalem, who has served as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls since August 2021, is one of multiple experts on the topic who sounded the alarm about extreme transgender activism to the U.K. outlet.

Resist the social credit system – While you still can

 

June 12, 2023

Freedom is an endangered species, thanks to the Chinese Communist Party’s so-called “social credit system.” It utilizes a comprehensive array of advanced surveillance, computing and artificial intelligence technologies to monitor and control its own population. 

Worse yet, the Chinese Communists and their globalist allies at the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, Big Pharma and, of course, the Biden administration – seek to impose this “Digital Gulag,” here and throughout the world.

The building-blocks of that liberty-crushing project include: Team Biden’s bid to institutionalize the “China Model” of pandemic lockdowns, emergency orders and mandates; American businesses conforming to “environment, social and governance” scoring; and the proliferation of global and national health IDs. 

The time to resist is now, while we still can. 

This is Frank Gaffney.

Republicans’ anti-ESG attack may be silencing insurers, but it isn’t changing their pro-climate business decisions

 

June 8, 2023

Over recent months there has been an orchestrated pushback against investors and insurers who integrate the risks of climate change into their business models. That pushback – emanating from Republican-led states – is having an impact on how companies speak publicly. But whether it will affect their efforts to respond to climate change is less clear.

The latest targets have been global insurance companies, and their responses offer some insight.

Norway bans child sex changes, joins Finland, Sweden, and UK in rejecting gender ideology

 

June 7, 2023

Common sense and science are gradually prevailing.

Last week, the Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board announced it would be revising its current guidelines regarding so-called " gender -affirming care" for minors because it no longer considers them to be evidence-based. The board also acknowledged that the growing number of teenage girls identifying as male post-puberty remains under-studied.

Under the proposed updated guidelines, the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transition-related surgery would be restricted to research contexts and no longer provided in clinical settings. Norway joins Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom in introducing greater safeguarding for children. In the United States, eight states thus far have banned affirmative care for individuals under 18, with Tennessee being the latest to pass such legislation.

James Woods Claims Hollywood More Evil Than Your ‘Worst Fears’

 

June 7, 2023

Veteran actor James Woods claimed this week that people have no idea how truly “evil” Hollywood can be – a place far worse than their “worst fears.”

In a now-deleted tweet, a fan of Woods asked the true extent of evil Hollywood and the actor had an eyebrow-raising answer.

“James, serious question. As someone who has enormous respect for your talent as an actor, I’m curious – how evil is Hollywood?” asked the user.

“Multiply your worst fears by 100,” Woods replied.

The Strange Pandemic of ‘White’ Disparagement

 

June 7, 2023

Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness

One of the tenets of the early civil rights movement some 65 years ago was ending racial stereotyping.

When Martin Luther King, Jr. called for emphasizing the “content of our character” over “the color of our skin,” the subtext was “stop judging people as a faceless collective on the basis of their superficial appearance and instead look to them as individuals with unique characters.”

It is tragic that King’s plea for an integrated, assimilated society, in which race became incidental, not essential to our personas, has mostly been abandoned by the Left in favor of racial stereotyping, collective guilting, and scapegoating by race and gender.

DOE rule may block 50% of current gas stove models

 

June 7, 2023

Half of gas stove models sold in the United States today won’t comply with a first-ever efficiency regulation on cooking appliances, according to a new analysis from the Department of Energy.

The projection, which DOE posted online two weeks after the rule’s release Jan. 31, aims to provide more clarification on the expected impact of a proposal earlier this month that is now receiving comments from the public (Energywire, Feb. 1).

DOE says the cooking regulation will preserve some market share for gas stoves that have at least one high-input rate burner and continuous cast iron grates, two features that DOE determined are priorities for the public. Both features use a lot of energy.

College gender studies professor allegedly fails student for using banned term 'biological women'

Olivia Krolczyk's essay proposal was about transgender athletes competing in women’s sports

A University of Cincinnati student is speaking out after her professor allegedly failed her for using the term "biological women." 

Olivia Krolczyk says her gender studies teacher gave her a zero on her essay proposal about transgender athletes competing in women’s sports because she used the forbidden term "biological women." 

"Olivia, this is a solid proposal," the feedback read. "However, the terms "biological women" are exclusionary and are not allowed in this course as they further reinforce heteronormativity. Please reassess your topic and edit it to focus on women’s rights (not just "females") and I’ll regrade."

Second State Bans Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion From College Campuses

 

June 4, 2023

Texas will become the second state in the nation behind Florida to dismantle political ideologies housed in so-called Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices at universities.

The passing of Texas Senate Bill 17—which prohibits public universities and colleges from having DEI offices—happened on May 27 after a conference committee of lawmakers in the Texas Legislature reconciled differences between the two chambers’ versions.

The next step is to send it to Gov. Greg Abbott, who indicated on Twitter that he will sign the bill.

Woke corporate governance often stems from involved investment firms: Former Anheuser-Busch exec

Blackrock and Vanguard are forcing ESG and DEI initiatives on corporate America: Anson Frericks

Woke corporate governance, which recently led to the fiscal hemorrhaging of Anheuser-Busch and Target, often begins with investment firms pressuring them to behave in certain ways, a former executive at the beer conglomerate said.

Anson Frericks told "Jesse Watters Primetime" a lot of the lead-up to decisions — such as the one at his former firm involving transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney that led to a nationwide boycott of Bud Light — stem from the politicking of firms like New York-based BlackRock and Pennsylvania-based Vanguard.

Altogether, BlackRock, Vanguard and another firm, State Street, manage about $20 trillion in capital, Frericks said, noting it is not truly "their" money but that of the investments of Americans' mutual funds and state pension funds.

Pride Month Is About Activism, Not Acceptance

 

June 3, 2023

Pride month today isn’t bringing anyone together. To the contrary, it’s only pulling us farther apart.

June used to be the most exciting month of the year.

Coming from someone who hates winter, June has always been a welcome celebration of summertime, complete with the longest days of the year and some of the warmest. It was always the month that I put another year behind me both in school and as a Gemini, though I won’t pretend to believe in anything related to astrology. If I were superstitious, I might fear the fact that June 13 was a Friday in 1997. Some girls might complain the bad-luck date explains my gayness (sorry, ladies).

But just as aging has begun to produce more anxiety than excitement, June has transformed from the inaugural month of summertime and music festivals to a dreaded 30-day parade in an escalating culture war. Pride month is here.

Biden’s Border Chief Says He Can’t Explain Border Rush

 

May 10, 2023

President Joe Biden’s border chief says he can’t explain why hundreds of thousands of migrants are rushing over the border he is tasked to guard.

“Can you explain why you’ve seen this big surge [of migrants] in the last couple of weeks?” border chief Alejandro Mayorkas was asked on Friday, just six days before he lifts the Title 42 border barrier.

“It’s very difficult to identify the cause,” the pro-migration border chief responded to the reporter.

However, a Venezuelan migrant named Daniel told the May 7 New York Times why he and many other Venezuelans are sneaking into the United States: “We just want to work.”

“The goal was to provide for the children a quality life and educational opportunities,” Venezuelan Abel Oviedo told TexasTribune.org. He had settled in Colombia, and then moved to Peru, but started his family’s migration in late 2022. “I’m a hard worker,” Oviedo said.

Why It’s Time to Treat Communist Symbols Like the Swastika

 

May 10, 2023

If someone were to ask you to think of either extreme of the political spectrum, odds are you would immediately picture a swastika at one end, and a hammer and sickle at the other. Regardless of your views of the left-right paradigm, or whether you subscribe to horseshoe theory or not, we (rightfully) tend to perceive fascism and communism as the standard ideologies of the extreme.

As such, many of us would also feel rather uneasy seeing those two symbols. Upon seeing a swastika, we are immediately reminded of the evils of the Nazi regime, and are accordingly repulsed. To publicly display the logo is even a crime in many European countries. We understand how abhorrent the ideology is, and treat it accordingly with disrespect and disgust.

Who knew about Joe Biden’s “elite capture”?

 

May 10, 2023

Natalie Winters is hands-down the best investigative journalist of her generation. True, very few of her contemporaries have anything approaching the experience, let alone the reportorial accomplishments, of the woman who is now, at twenty-something, the Executive Editor of Steve Bannon’s War Room.

Mostly Natalie stands out, however, for her relentless exposure of what the Chinese Communists call the “elite capture” of many of this country’s leaders in finance, business, the academy, Hollywood, the media and government. 

For example, on Tuesday she broke the story that the House Oversight Committee will reveal today its documentation of a million dollars in bribes paid by a Romanian oligarch while Joe Biden was Vice President.  

Obviously, Joe must go. The question that now deserves investigation, by both Natalie Winters and congressional committees, is who else in the Obama-Biden administration’s first two terms knew of his corruption?

The Dog Whistle of ‘Christian Nationalism’

 

May 10, 2023

The Left’s latest cudgel against religious conservatives. 

Since Donald Trump’s surprise victory in the 2016 election, a rash of articles, surveys, and books have claimed that many—maybe even most—Americans in flyover country are “Christian nationalists.” That’s supposed to sound scary. But the term is mostly used as a smear against conservative Christians who defend the role of religion in American public life.  

Sociologists Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry give the perceived threat a scholarly gloss in their recent book from Oxford University Press, Taking America Back for God. They define Christian nationalism as “an ideology that idealizes and advocates a fusion of American civic life with a particular type of Christian identity and culture.” What’s more, it “includes assumptions of nativism, white supremacy, patriarchy and heteronormativity, along with divine sanction for authoritarian control and militarism.” That’s quite a parade of horribles.
