A week after the CNN+ streaming service collapsed in April, laid-off employees received a welcome package from the network filled with branded gifts and notes from the failed platform. Hundreds of CNN+ employees were laid off when the streaming service shut down less than five weeks after launching in March 2022. Days after the mass layoff, a number of former staffers received welcome gift packages from the network, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

Chris (the boy) Wallace is being sidelined over to an internet streaming show on HBO where dozens and dozens of people will fall asleep in front of the laptops listening to him drone on. I can't wait for the hard numbers on active streams watching his show to be published.

President Joe Biden and the hardest-working transportation secretary of all time, Pete Buttigieg, are making sure the baby formula shortage – a bona fide public health crisis – gets resolved quickly, just not for American citizens at this time. (snip) “First of all, I must have missed something because isn’t Pete Buttigieg in charge of transportation, the supply chain? Where is he?” Webb said. “Because let’s go to the biological fact here. He and Chasten [Buttigieg] have to have baby formula. I’m guessing that Pete Buttigieg is not out of formula any time soon. Just like those illegal aliens they are letting flood across our border.”

Texas government officials can continue to investigate parents who transition their children to the opposite sex for possible child abuse, the state’s supreme court ruled Friday. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) determined that child sex change surgeries constituted child abuse in August 2021 upon prompting by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, and the DFPS began investigations of families for potential child abuse over treatments their transgender children were receiving in February. An appeals court had previously blocked these inquiries throughout the state, but the Texas Supreme Court ruled the lower court had “abused its discretion.”

A panel of three judges in the UK have ruled that the term “bald” constituted sexual harassment during an unfair dismissal case. Workers in the UK will now have to be careful about the banter they partake in with their fellow employees, with a panel of judges ruling that the use of the term “bald” was sexual harassment while deliberating an unfair dismissal case. The three ruling members of the panel — who acknowledged their own follically challenged craniums during the ruling — concluded that the term was an insult disproportionally levelled at men, and as such constituted sexual harassment.

Just in the past few days, news outlet MSNBC hosted two separate women, both of whom addressed the hot-button topic of abortion. Although such a controversial and emotionally-charged subject ought to be approached with diplomacy and discretion, these women were visibly thrilled as they considered the murder of helpless babies. After what we’ve been through with American Democrats, it shouldn’t be surprising – yet it is. Laurie Kilmartin, a “comedian” known for her appearance on a popular television show, vocalized her fantasy about procreating with the SCOTUS leaker, and then happily killing the child if the leaker turned out to be a conservative.

With, of course, a helpful assist from the ready-to-lie national media. Recall Locke as the 22-year-old black man shot dead earlier this year by police during a no-knock warrant raid in Minneapolis. The incident naturally sparked city-wide riots and outrage from leftist journalists eager to pour more kerosine on our race bonfires.

Tribe said, “When we find all of this apparent top secret information finding his way to unsecured boxes to Mar-a-Lago, it’s very encouraging that the Department of Justice isn’t simply asking who packed the boxes, but what did the president then of the United States on his way out of the Oval Office have in mind in taking that information?

The Washington Post reported Friday: Biden’s attempt to appropriate the “MAGA” brand as a political attack was hardly accidental. It arose from a six-month research project to find the best way to target Republicans, helmed by Biden adviser Anita Dunn and by the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal group.

A Wisconsin mom shared her horror after her 13 year-old son was accused of sexual harassment for refusing to refer to a non-binary schoolmate with 'they/them' pronouns. Rosemary Rabidoux hit out after her son Bradon became one of three eighth grade schoolboys at Kiel Middle School subjected to an ongoing probe. It was triggered after they chose not to use the gender neutral pronoun for their unidentified classmate, who they instead referred to using 'she' and her'. Things appear to have escalated quickly with the school district now filing a Title IX complaint against the students, accusing them of sexual harassment for using the 'incorrect' pronouns.
