New York City Mayor Eric Adams defended Thursday sending drag queens to public schools and libraries, saying that inviting flamboyant female impersonators to read to young children promotes “a love of diversity.” The mayor’s statement came a few days after the New York Post reported that the city had paid $207,000 to Drag Story Hour NYC to read books to students at dozens of elementary schools, middle schools and high schools since 2018. “At a time when our LGBTQ+ communities are under increased attack across this country, we must use our education system to educate,” Mr. Adams said. “The goal is not only for our children to be academically smart,

The country’s eyes are trained on high-profile massacres in Texas and Buffalo, but most mass shootings bear little resemblance to those. Of 267 incidents this year classified as mass shootings by the Gun Violence Archive, nearly all can be tied to gang beefs, neighborhood arguments, robberies or domestic incidents that spiraled out of control. Indiscriminate slaughter by a lone gunman blasting away at a store, school or some other public place is rare, according to a Washington Times analysis of the archive’s data, accounting for less than 4% of the total.(Snip)Many, particularly those on the streets or that stem from gang issues, involve multiple shooters spraying bullets.

Rachel Levine, the U.S. assistant secretary for health, and Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House coronavirus coordinator, to discuss the ongoing baby formula shortage and COVID-19 vaccines.(Snip)'I'm not answering any questions. Thank you. Nice to meet you, though,' Levine told journalists as she left the room, after posing for photos with several of the babies parents had brought along. Levine was asked twice about when President Joe Biden was made aware of the baby formula crisis and who briefed

President Joe Biden tore into shipping conglomerates at the White House Thursday as he signed legislation he said would improve inflation at least on the margins. He ripped the industry of consolidated foreign-flagged vessels a day after tearing into oil companies, and once again laying much of the blame for inflation at Russian President Vladimir Putin's feet. But he began his remarks at the White House with words of condolence for one of the people there, the head of Ohio-based specialty retailer Jo-Ann Stores. The company is still coping with the news from Wednesday that its chief financial officer, Matt Susz, died suddenly. 'And by the way,

America’s largest retailer has canceled Mike Lindell, to the tune of $10 million. Walmart confirmed Thursday that it had pulled from its stores MyPillow products, a day after Mr. Lindell said his bedware was being pulled. “While we are no longer carrying them in stores, MyPillow products continue to be available on Walmart.com,” a company spokesperson told The Hill. Mr. Lindell had said Wednesday that he was being dropped over his continued claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election against former President Donald Trump.
“You guys are canceling us just like the other box stores,” Mr. Lindell said he had told a Walmart executive. “Shame on you, Walmart. You’re disgusting.”

The CDC has issued bizarre guidance telling Americans infected with monkeypox to have sex by masturbating at least six feet away from their partner, among other recommendations. Guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says anyone who has the disease must not have sex. But for those who ignore the advice, the agency has published an unusual list of the dos and donts under the bedsheets. Among its tips was also to have sex while still fully-clothed, to ensure all rashes are covered and even to avoid kissing.(Snip)The British Columbia Center for Disease Control said people should 'use barriers, like walls (e.g. glory holes)

Measles has been spotted in two children in Minnesota including one whose illness was so severe it led to them being hospitalized, local health officials say. The youngsters—both under five years old—started displaying symptoms of the disease shortly after returning from an unnamed nation where 'measles is common'. While one child is on emergency wards at a hospital the second is currently in isolation at home.(Snip)Measles has been eliminated in the United States for almost 20 years thanks to a comprehensive vaccination program. But globally the disease continues to circulate in a handful of countries including Brazil, India and areas of West and Central Africa.

Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker acknowledged Thursday he has two more children the public doesn’t know about—just one day after it was revealed he has a “secret” 10-year-old son. Walker, 60, confirmed to the Daily Beast that he has a total of four children—three sons and a daughter. Until this week, the ex-NFL star had only publicly spoken about one of them—his 22-year-old son, Christian Walker. In addition to the 10-year-old son, whom he has not played an active role in raising, Walker has a 13-year-old boy and an adult daughter who was born when

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday said that President Biden, who is visiting Saudi Arabia next month, believes that the country’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, ordered the 2018 operation that killed Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Biden will travel to Saudi Arabia in mid-July as he seeks to thaw US-Saudi relations amid record-high gas prices. He has agreed to meet with MBS on that trip despite previously seeking to sideline bin Salman. Khashoggi’s fiancee this week beseeched Biden to cancel the meeting telling him, “you are dishonoring yourself” and “putting oil over principles” by agreeing to the sitdown.

The streets of downtown Portland, Oregon, resemble an open-air drug market. Heroin, meth and fentanyl use is rampant and often visible on city streets. Portland police officers drive by homeless addicts buying and using. The signs of drug addiction are actually increasing throughout the state, according to law enforcement sources. Oregon ranks second-highest among U.S. states for substance abuse with nearly one in five adults addicted.(Snip)Sixteen months into this first-in-the-nation experiment, the numbers paint a bleak picture. Drug overdose deaths hit an all-time high in 2021 with 1069, a 41% increase from 2020. And very few people are getting into treatment.

Gov. Greg Gianforte is out of the country on a “long-scheduled personal trip” as historic floods indefinitely closed Yellowstone National Park and deluged communities in southern Montana, his office confirmed Wednesday. Gianforte, a Republican elected in 2020, left Montana last week on a personal jaunt with his wife, Susan, before the Yellowstone River swelled Monday and isolated entire communities in Park, Carbon and Stillwater counties, the Montana Free Press reported. But a spokeswoman declined to indicate when Gianforte, 61, will return to the Treasure State or where he and his wife went, according to the report. “The governor is returning early and as quickly as possible,” spokeswoman

The Saudi Arabian government is confiscating toys, clothes and other items bearing rainbow colors, saying they conjure images of the pride flag and promotes homosexuality. Rainbow-colored bows, skirts, hats, pencil cases and other items aimed at children will be seized, according to a report broadcast Tuesday evening by Saudi Arabia’s Al Ekhbariya news channel. “We are giving a tour of the items that contradict the Islamic faith and public morals and promote homosexual colors targeting the younger generation,” an official from the commerce ministry said on the channel. The official added that the rainbow colors send “a poisoned message” to children.(Snip)Mr. Biden earlier this week signed a sweeping
Comments:
If only there was some way to avoid contracting the HIV, hmm. Barring that, pay $22,200 a year for regular injections. Will homosexual-Americans be fired from their jobs or assessed high penalties on their insurance plans if they refuse this drug, or does that apply only to Coronavirus shots?
