New parent-driven PAC will oppose drug
legalization in Congress and states
Posted By: Lets Go Brandon, 3/29/2022 8:39:59 AM
A new political action committee led by parents to counter the legalization of drugs, particularly marijuana, will launch in Colorado on Tuesday. The PAC, Protect Our Kids, is made up of parents adamantly opposed to recent policies at state and federal levels to decriminalize drugs, such as marijuana and psychedelics. It’s the brainchild of Luke Niforatos, the executive vice president of the anti-marijuana legalization group Smart Approaches to Marijuana.

From Wretched To Outrageous: New Mexico
Woman Who Threw Baby In Dumpster Has Change

Woman Who Threw Baby In Dumpster Has Change
Of Heart 5 replies
We first heard of this story in late January. A New Mexico woman named Alexis Avila had just given birth to a baby boy. Allegedly, she then placed the baby into a garbage bag and “tossed” the bag into a dumpster, an incident that was caught on video and widely viewed across the country. It was heartbreaking to watch.
Once discovered by passersby, the infant was taken via helicopter to a nearby hospital where he was treated for severe hypothermia. During a subsequent hearing, prosecutors stated:
“In my 27 years of doing this, I have never seen anyone, child or adult, have a temperature that was not read with a digital thermometer.”
The city’s beleaguered subway riders were reeling Tuesday after the mass shooting on a Brooklyn train — with some saying the latest horrific crime has convinced them to quit the transit system for good.
“I’m done. I’m done with riding the train. It’s just not worth it,” 29-year-old finance worker Shirley Shao said while waiting for a train at Canal Street in Tribeca, Manhattan.
“Every time I go in there, I worry in the back of my mind of someone attacking me while my back is turned,” she said of the underground system.
Most elected Democrats seemed to have gotten the memo back in February that continued COVID restrictions were politically untenable moving forward, so a new normal was abruptly declared. People who'd inveighed against Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin's sensible school masking policy in Virginia just days earlier suddenly decided the time had come to move toward similar or identical policies elsewhere. Hell, even Doctor Anthony Fauci is starting to sound like something of a libertarian on these matters these days:
Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to the White House, said Americans should continue assessing risk for themselves as COVID-19 cases tick up.
Knucklehead Of The Week: Joe Biden Makes

Strong Case For Knucklehead of the Century [VIDEO] 14 replies
This was an especially difficult decision for our esteemed “Knucklehead of the Week Committee,” with some of the fiercest competition we’ve seen yet. Since it came down to a choice between President Joe Biden and CNN’s Brian Stelter, we were guaranteed that regardless of the ultimate selection we were going to have a repeat honoree. Ultimately, the evidence that our Commander-in-Chief should be the one to be recognized – again – was too overwhelming to ignore. And someday when our request for funding is approved, Biden’s buffoonery this week most certainly earned him a distinguished position on the Mount Rushmore of Knuckleheads.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has tested positive for COVID-19, her office announced Thursday.
Pelosi (D-Calif.), who is fully vaccinated and boosted, is asymptomatic and quarantining, chief of staff Drew Hammill tweeted.
“The Speaker will quarantine consistent with CDC guidance, and encourages everyone to get vaccinated, boosted and test regularly,” he added in a second post.
Pelosi’s positive test result comes the same week that the speaker attended several events with President Biden, standing directly next to him as he signed an executive order related to the Affordable Care Act on Tuesday — as well as during the signing of a postal reform bill on Wednesday.
With all the recent coverage surrounding Lia Thomas and the recent passage of Florida’s notoriously under-read Parental rights in education bill I have once again been drawn back to numerous water cooler chats and online debates, both solicited and not. In fact, just a few months ago I had an incident at work that moved the discussion of gender identity, specifically the use of preferred pronouns, that had the potential to move this subject out of the realm of personal debate.
We all have seen the explosive use of listing one’s preferred pronouns in Twitter bios and email signature blocks, and it seems that this latest rage
Between 2018 and 2020, California passed two so-called “corporate diversity” bills intended to put more women and minorities on the boards of directors for corporations having headquarters in the state. AB 826 required corporations to have an increasing number of women on their boards, up to as many as three if the board had six or more members. Then came AB 979, which mandated that boards have at least one member of an “underrepresented community” by the end of 2021. Companies found to not be in compliance would be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Jon Stewart isn’t your typical, leftist comedian/talk show host. For one thing, Jon Stewart walked away from an extremely successful stint on Comedy Central with “The Daily Show” in 2015 at the ripe old age of 52, not a common career path for leftists who love money but pretend to hate capitalism. But what is most notable about Stewart’s career is that he was actually funny, and at times hilarious. Check out this video for an example. Yet we learned this week that, apparently, Stewart’s decision to reduce his workload seven years ago had the unforeseen side effect of also reducing his common sense.
CNN lost its credibility years ago, going back to at least the Obama Administration, but probably even earlier. But during the Bush and Obama years, there was a lingering sense of trust for some Americans, allowing CNN to keep its audience to weak but respectable levels.
When Donald Trump arrived on the scene in 2015, CNN and every other mainstream media outlet promoted and then exploited Trump Derangement Syndrome to the point that anyone afflicted with TDS was tuning in constantly to learn about how “the walls are closing in” with the outlandish Russia Hoax.
But Trump is no longer in the White House, having been replaced by a complete buffoon
I’m torn between skepticism and credulity. On the one hand, this comes from Charles Gasparino, a correspondent for Fox Business. CNN has done so much unflattering coverage of Fox over the past five years that I imagine it’d be irresistible to a Fox reporter to amplify an unflattering rumor about their new streaming project. Even if there’s no hard evidence to support it.
On the other hand, a concept like CNN+ seems doomed to fail quickly, no? Which demographic out there is willing to pay money for more content from a cable network that’s chronically in third place in the ratings? Fox and MSNBC at least can leverage hardcore partisan bases.

For Germany, their greatest national sin is undoubtedly the Holocaust. But for most other Western countries, including the United States, slavery is the single most reprehensible aspect of a nation’s history. This notion holds true for Great Britain, France, Spain, and scores of others. Slavery was a horrific crime against humanity. But like the Holocaust, slavery was unique in its horror, and drawing comparisons of other injustices to it are almost always ill-advised. So too is the practice of attributing modern phenomena as being remnants of slavery, because in doing so we trivialize the brutality of that horrible institution.

Former Fox News anchor Chris Wallace has reportedly been breaking down in front of his crew over the “miserable failure” of the new streaming platform CNN+.The launch of CNN+ has been anything but stellar, according to the latest statistics, with the platform drawing in close to 10,000 daily viewers and even fewer subscribers. Per CNBC: Fewer than 10,000 people are using CNN+ on a daily basis two weeks into its existence, according to people familiar with the matter. The people spoke with CNBC on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss nonpublic data.
New professionally edited video has emerged of police officers allowing protesters into the Upper West Terrace Doors of the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
A trusted source exclusively released the video below to The Gateway Pundit. Tightly edited with markers and commentary narration, it is meant to be presented in court to defend Brady Knowlton and Patrick Montgomery. Both men are facing felony charges for “Obstruction of an Official Proceeding” on January 6th.
This new video will indisputably exonerate Brady Knowlton, Patrick Montgomery and all the rally-goers seen entering these doors by any reasonable jury or fair judge.

First Dog bites 31 replies
Secret Service agents were outraged last year by the White House’s attempt to downplay bite injuries caused by then-first dog Major—even trying to get President Biden to personally pay for a coat destroyed by then-first dog Major Biden, newly released documents show. Secret Service leaders also sought to keep attack details out of official paperwork—at one point rejecting an agent’s “excessively detailed” account to avoid upsetting the first family—after Major bit agents on eight consecutive days.(Snip)The March 8 bite actually was the final attack in an eight-day streak and the wounded agent—whose injuries were categorized as “severe” by a colleague—fumed
Two women at New Jersey's only all-women's prison have both fallen pregnant after having sex with a transgender inmate. The pregnant women, who were not identified, are housed at the embattled Edna Mahan Correctional Facility, in Clinton, which New Jersey Governor announced plans to close last year.(Snip)It is unclear if the women had sex with the same transgender inmate, or if it was two different inmates. Edna Mahan houses 27 transgender prisoners, and over 800 women altogether. It is also unclear how far along the two inmates are, and whether they plan to continue with their respective pregnancies. An investigation has been launched.
Mark Zuckerberg, whose $419 million "Zuckerbucks" vote-rigging operation played a significant part in swinging the election to Joe Biden in 2020, now says he's a changed man.
A representative for Mark Zuckerberg confirmed the Facebook CEO will not make another multi-million dollar donation to aid this year’s elections, which comes after fierce pushback that Zuckerberg’s 2020 contributions tilted the outcome of the presidential race toward President Biden.
"As Mark and Priscilla made clear previously, their election infrastructure donation to help ensure that Americans could vote during the height of the pandemic was a one-time donation given the unprecedented nature of the crisis," Ben LaBolt,
Laurel, Miss.—An umpire is recovering Monday after she was punched in the face following a softball game. Moments after that confrontation, a Laurel mother was arrested and charged with simple assault. Saturday night. Kristie Moore says she was filling in, calling a 12-year-old softball game after one of her umpires got sick. She’s been calling games for 10 years. One of the moms was allegedly cursing so badly during the game that she was asked her to leave. Eventually the coach made the mom leave, but instead of going home, Kiara Thomas allegedly waited for Moore after the game.(Snip)
Moore says parents are out of control
The madman who opened fire on a Brooklyn subway car and left 29 injured, 10 of them shot has been taken into custody, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Frank James, 62, was named by cops as the sole person of interest after a man in a gas mask, helmet, and neon construction vest threw two smoke grenades and opened fire on straphangers while riding the Manhattan-bound N train just before 8:30 a.m.
James rented a U-Haul van linked to the attack, authorities said during a news conference on Tuesday.
The suspect had posted several rambling conspiracy-laden YouTube videos, railing against the city’s mental health services ...
This week, climate activists disrupted the UK’s oil supply, because they believe they face a desperate choice. Nonviolent resistance now, or the unthinkable violence of climate change later. “There is a need to break the law,” says Just Stop Oil’s Melissa Carrington, “so we are not guilty of greater crime.” But is she right? In so-called liberal democracies, we have a default obligation to obey the law. It’s a moral duty, as well as a legal one. It’s part of our implicit contract with the government we elected, which provides us, in return, with the protection of justice. But what
Tony Dungy, the first black coach ever to win a Super Bowl, might have escaped notice this week had he merely supported Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s “Responsible Fatherhood Initiative.” His real sin was to explain why.
Dungy, a Christian father or eleven, recounted a conversation he had years back with the Rev. Abe Brown about Brown’s prison ministry. At Brown’s request, Dungy accompanied him to prison. Expecting to find hardened criminals, Dungy found instead “19- and 20- and 21-year-old kids who looked like my boys.” When Dungy asked what accounted for the young men’s incarceration, Brown told him, “(snip) Ninety-five percent of these boys did not grow up with their dad.”
The threat-laced ramblings of alleged subway shooter Frank James, now in custody, have a disturbingly familiar ring, don’t they? Sure, they’re on YouTube — but bitter mumblings of the same sort are heard all day, every day in New York’s increasingly untenable subway system.So the question of the moment is this: How long will the city accommodate — indeed, encourage — aggressive mental illness in its public spaces? Will it ever push back?How many shootings, how many slashings, how many fatal shovings and — disgustingly — how many demented excrement smearings will it take before the penny drops?
The Biden administration is claiming that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's inspection of trucks entering the U.S. from Mexico is not only "unnecessary," but contributing to inflation throughout the country.
In a statement issued Wednesday morning, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the delays caused by Abbott's policies were having far-reaching impacts. "Governor Abbott’s unnecessary and redundant inspections of trucks transiting ports of entry between Texas and Mexico are causing significant disruptions to the food and automobile supply chains, delaying manufacturing, impacting jobs, and raising prices for families in Texas and across the country.," Psaki said. Last week, Abbott directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to carry out

that landed on Biden raises A LOT of eyebrows 22 replies
President Joe Biden’s latest speech, it appears, was one for the birds. At least it seemed that way, as the somewhat hapless commander-in-chief gave what was meant to be a rousing speech and pep rally in Iowa on Tuesday. It was difficult to miss what appeared to be the projectile of avian fecal matter that scored a direct hit on the president’s left lapel. Although, after much mockery, the White House has given clarification on the supposed flying mystery substance that many aren’t buying.
