Posted By: LoveYourCountry, 7/20/2021 1:11:35 PM
Norway have been fined 1,500 euros (£1,295) for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms at the European Beach Handball Championships. The European Handball Federation (EHF) said it had imposed the fine because of a case of "improper clothing". Norway's players wore shorts instead of bikini bottoms during a bronze medal match against Spain in Varna, Bulgaria. Norway's Handball Federation (NHF) had already stated it would pay if their players were fined. An EHF statement said a disciplinary commission had imposed a fine of "150 euros per player, for a total of 1,500 euros". CORRECTIONS*

Governments should exclude parents who oppose the hormonal and surgical transformation of their children, according to an article published in the establishment Journal of Medical Ethics.
When parents reject their childrensâ claim to be transgender, âparents should lose veto power over most transition-related paediatric care,â wrote author Maura Priest, a candidate professor at Arizona State University. Trained medical scientists should defer to the childrensâ wishes once they decide that the children are âinformed and competentâ
Plop Plop, Whiz Whiz The Rolling Stones song “Shattered” is about all the things Mick Jagger and Keith Richards didn’t like about New York City: drug dealers, bedbugs, and people dressed in plastic bags directing traffic. Some kind of fashion. That was nothing. What’s a Metaphor As if a rash of subway slashings aren’t enough, straphanger struggles took a nasty turn when a homeless man in a subway station decided to relieve himself in an unsuspecting janitor’s bucket–in front of anyone that happened to be passing by. Fortunately for the passersby, the New York subway still has a mask mandate. CORRECTION*

Rushmore Fireworks Permits, Provided no
Explanation Why 14 replies
During a Thursday interview on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) revealed that President Joe Biden refused to issue the permits this year for the Mount Rushmore Fourth of July celebration. Noem said the celebration was brought back by President Donald Trump after President Barack Obama took it away for environmental concerns, and now Biden is canceling it again without providing an explanation. “[W]e had the fireworks at Mount Rushmore for years,” Noem outlined.

Over the last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats have blocked a bill to ban taxpayer-funding of abortions 20 times. Each day over the last week, multiple pro-life Republican House members have asked the House for unanimous consent to bring the pro-life bill to the floor for a vote. Each time, Democrats have refused.
On Monday, Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK), Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA), and Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI) asked for unanimous consent to get a floor vote on H.R. 18, The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.
The mainstream media, global elitists, and prominent Democrat politicians have blood on their hands for the avoidable deaths of countless Americans. Itâs hard to look at the effects of the disastrous policies from the past year and a half and conclude otherwise. In their mutually beneficial efforts to oust Donald Trump from office and foist a neo-feudal system upon the American middle class, an abundance of science was ignored in favor of advancing a preferred authoritarian agenda. How much damage was wrought will likely never be fully known or quantified, although there are ways to put some figures into perspective.
On Tuesday, Kurt Schlichter tweeted a photo of a classroom scene headlined âCRT in one perfect photo.â It promptly disappeared, so he tweeted again, under the headline âsheâs just teaching about slavery,â and that too promptly vanished. The rapid takedowns are puzzling, given the photoâs content. Consider the subjects on the left side of the board, starting at the top.
Diversity is a reality of the human condition but in critical race theory (CRT) it is code for proportionality. Under the proportionality doctrine, everything in society must represent the racial and ethnic proportions of the population.

7 replies
Update (2000ET): The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday that it will convene an "emergency meeting" of its advisers on June 18th to discuss rare but higher-than-expected reports of heart inflammation following doses of the mRNA-based Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
The new details about myocarditis and pericarditis emerged first in presentations to a panel of independent advisers for the Food and Drug Administration, who are meeting Thursday to discuss how the regulator should approach emergency use authorization for using COVID-19 vaccines in younger children.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Black Lives Matter have been silent following the shooting death of a young boy in Queens who was just three days away from his 11th birthday.
On Saturday, Queens came to a standstill after Justin Wallace, 10, was tragically killed by a gunman who opened fire at his auntâs home in Far Rockaway around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, police and the New York Post reported.
Top 10 Rising Stars of the Republican Party

For Juneâs Top Ten, we have reasons for optimism, and below are just ten of them. As you consider the individuals who make up this list, remember the âRising Starsâ on the other side. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Rashida Tlaib? Stacey Abrams? Democrats and their leftist media are fond of speculating on the demise of the Republican Party. The GOP will be âin the wilderness for many years.â The Republicans are âfalling apart before our eyes.â A key feature of their narrative is the attempt to equate the party to one man: Donald J. Trump.

A fresh wave of pandemic lockdowns like the ones that crippled the country last year loom on the horizon if people donât wise up and get vaccinated against COVID-19, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell warned. âThese shots need to get in everybodyâs arms as rapidly as possible or we´re going to be back in a situation in the fall that we donât yearn for â that we went through last year,â McConnell (R-Ky.) said at a news conference Tuesday, adding, âThis is not complicated.â Asked about comments from Utah Gov.

Donald Trump is primed to give the presidency another run in 2024, according to a new report broken by the Rolling Stone.
âTrump has told at least three people heâs dined with in recent months that he plans to run in 2024, a former senior official at the Republican National Committee tells Rolling Stone.â
âI have three friends whoâve had dinner with him in the last couple of months,â the report said citing the former RNC official. âAll three reported that his current plans are to run for president in 2024.â
âNow, whether he does or not is a different issue,â the official added.
President Biden argued that a massive influx of government spending bill will help fend off inflation, in a speech on the state of the economy at the White House on Monday.
The White House has dubbed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to bring to the floor this week â and the $3.5 trillion budget resolution that Democrats plan to pass in the coming days without Republican support â the âBuild Back Betterâ package. Biden said Monday that the two bills will help prevent, rather than exacerbate, runaway inflation.
Last week, the CEO of Black Rifle Coffee, Evan Hafer, gave a long-form interview to Jason Zengerle for the New York Times Magazine. I donât know what he expected to achieve by the exercise, but Iâm pretty certain that what he accomplished represented a significant deviation from the plan.
The piece framed Black Rifle Coffee as a âStarbucks for conservativesâ and promoted the piece by saying that the company was trying to distance itself from some of its customers. Note that Black Rifle Coffee retweeted this tweet and that usually means that the tweet met with the approval of the person sending it:
The Woke War on Air Conditioning

As summer reaches peak heat, a recent piece in Time magazine on air conditioning exemplifies the rot pervading academia and threatening the nation.
Eric Dean Wilson, an instructor and graduate student at City University of New York, wrote about how air conditioning will destroy the planet. His essay demonstrates the confluence of such intellectually fashionable ideas as environmentalist extremism, critical race theory, equity, and the condemnation of capitalism and âwhite supremacy.â
Wilson has no training in climate science or mechanical engineering. Yet he teaches âclimate-themed writing and environmental justiceâ at the City University of New York. Wilson describes his recent book
In news thatâs flying below the radar a bit, more evidence of just how corrupt and compromised the FBI has become emerged today.
You may recall the much-ballyhooed plot to supposedly kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last year. Arrests were made in October of 2020, with the claim being that the FBI had stopped the kidnapping plot as well as a plan to overthrow the government. After it came out in the weeks following the bust that one of the participants was anti-Trump and a Black Lives Matter supporter, the story quickly died down.
All of this was intertwined

California Gov. Gavin Newsom says heâs not worried about a bill meant to combat homelessness exacerbating the problem because the state embraces everyone looking for ânew beginnings.â The Democrat made the comment when asked about the possible unintended consequences of signing the $12 billion AB-140 housing bill.

These players got fined for NOT wearing bikini bottoms, and wearing shorts instead. Not that long ago, it would have been the other way around. Watch what the female track athletes wear; same thing. What could the reason be? Hmmm. Objectification of women and their bodies. Where are the feminists with their outrage? Does anyone truly think competitions like this and the Olympics are about athletics and competition?
