'I'm a Catholic Nun. I'm Standing Up for
Trans People'

I was as surprised as the next person when I recognized that I might be drawn to becoming a Catholic nun. I graduated from pharmacy school in 1981 and was out of the church during my college years. I had a house, I was going on vacation, I was living the good life, and I had some money, but still, something was missing. (snip) The Catholic Church was, and still sometimes is, slow to embrace the LGBTQ+ community. I started my healthcare career as a pharmacist in the early '80s at the cusp of the AIDS epidemic. I was in Chicago working as an oncology pharmacist, treating many gay men

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made one of the biggest campaign promises yet and that’s he will pardon whistleblowers Edward Snowden and Julian Assange if he’s elected as President. (snip) After stating he plans to pardon Assange if elected, he fired off a secondary tweet promising to also pardon other persecuted journalist and whistleblower’s such as “John Kiriakou, Chelsea Manning, Reality Winner, Daniel Hale, Thomas Drake, Jeffrey Sterling, and Edward Snowden.”
Nineteen Republican attorneys general are putting JPMorgan Chase & Co. (Chase) on notice after the bank allegedly discriminated against customers with certain religious beliefs or political affiliations. (snip) As an example, the AGs said the National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF) was "de-banked" last year without explanation. (snip)
Three weeks after NCRF opened a Chase checking account last year, Chase sent NCRF a letter indicating that the bank had "end[ed] their relationship." (snip) Chase never gave an explanation but eventually said it would reopen the account but only if NCRF provided the bank a list of its donors, political candidates they intended to support and criteria for its endorsements.
In a world where the majority is silent, the smallest group who speaks the loudest gets the most attention. (snip) The thing about the silent majority is that they’re very slow to anger and will tolerate being poked, prodded, and harassed for a shockingly long time. However, after enough victims have been created and events have transpired, that same majority that tolerated all of this will begin to lose its goodwill.
This doesn’t mean the general populace will start doing what these activists falsley claim they’re doing and become violent toward transgender people. That’s not the way of the silent majority at all.

Whether Antony Blinken lied or not to Congress is no longer up for debate. (snip)
That leaves Republicans at a crossroads. (snip) Republicans have slam-dunk evidence that he broke the law staring them in the face. (snip) The obvious question is whether Blinken will be convicted. The obvious answer is that, of course, he’s not going to be convicted. There is immense value, though, in carrying out a very public impeachment process, exposing the fact that he did lie to Congress (and by virtue, commit a crime). Make Democrats go on record defending him. Make the press proclaim their own hypocrisy. Make Biden own the corruption
Three GOP Arizona State House members have filed a formal ethics complaint against Democrat Arizona State Rep. Stephanie Stahl-Hamilton, citing ” for unethical conduct and behavior undignified of a Member of the Arizona House of Representatives.”
This comes after the Representative admitted last week to stashing bibles around the House members-only lounge in order to hide them from other members.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Representative Stephanie Stahl-Hamilton, a so-called ordained minister, was caught by a security camera earlier this month hiding Bibles by stuffing them in couch cushions and the refrigerator of the House members-only lounge.

Congress now has compelling evidence that a letter from 51 security experts during the 2020 election falsely portraying the Hunter Biden laptop as a Russian influence operation was in fact Joe Biden campaign propaganda. Now armed with the truth, GOP lawmakers are looking to impose consequences for the organizers and the signatories.
Several House and Senate Republicans told Just the News they are looking to impose penalties ranging from possible impeachment of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, whom former CIA Director Mike Morell testified "triggered" the effort, to defunding federal contracts and security clearance for the security and intelligence officials who signed their name to the letter.
To respect women, feminism should not expect them to be more like men, according to three leading female feminist thinkers.
The three authors with unorthodox views on the topic shared their thoughts on reform at a “Rethinking Feminism” panel discussion at Harvard University on Thursday. (snip) Emba, author of “Rethinking Sex: A Provocation,” said that some of the women she interviewed for her book believed that imitating men, particularly through having casual sex (snip) could overcome the divide between them.
However, Emba said, a feminism that benefits women would be one that values and respects difference.
A 70-year-old man won a World Poker Tour ladies’ event in Florida on Saturday night. According to one individual, this gentleman signed up for the female-only contest simply because he “could pretend to identify as a woman because they allow anything nowadays.”
Saturday night was day one of the WPT $3,500 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. David Hughes wound up winning the entire event, beating out 82 women, according to PokerNews.com
Bud Light sales continue to sink like a brick as the Dylan Mulvaney fallout nears it’s one-month anniversary.
Congrats to the happy couple!
The latest numbers are in, and the folks over at Anheuser-Busch may wanna look away. According to Beer Business Daily, Bud Light’s off-premise sales volume — the amount of beer sold outside of restaurants and bars — was down 26.1% from a year earlier in the week ending in April 22.
That’s even worse than the 21.1% decrease from the week prior, while Bud Light numbers are now down 8% this year.
I was as surprised as the next person when I recognized that I might be drawn to becoming a Catholic nun.

Donald Trump's lawyer Joe Tacopina has demanded the judge declare a mistrial in E. Jean Carroll's rape and defamation case because he has been 'unfair' and 'prejudicial' towards the former president.
Tacopina cited 'pervasive unfair and prejudicial rulings' by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan as he prepared to once again cross-examine Carroll in a New York court.
Last week he questioned her claims that Trump raped her in a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1996, and asked why she didn't 'scream for help.'
Anheuser-Busch, the company behind Bud Light, has faced backlash on social media for airing a country-themed commercial during the opening round of the NFL draft.
The advertisement featured young women in the rain drinking Bud Light and was accompanied by Zac Brown’s song “Chicken Fried. The commercial, seen as an attempt to recover from a PR debacle caused by the brand’s endorsement deal with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, has drawn criticism for its pandering nature. (snip) Instead of apologizing for insulting their customers, the woke executives instead hope throwing money at the problem will cause former patrons to eventually forget and come back.

Segregated Math Courses for ‘Black’
and ‘Latinx’ Students Only 25 replies
A Chicago area high school has come under fire after it was discovered the school is offering segregated mathematics classes for “Black” and “Latinx” students only.
Evanston Township High School District 202 (ETHS) is providing the racially segregated courses in calculus, pre-calculus, and algebra.ETHS’s math curriculum for the next school year suggests that the segregated classes will continue. One of ETHS’s pre-calculus courses describes, “[t]he course is restricted to students who identify as Black male students.” While another pre-calculus course mentions that it is only for “Latinx” students, and a third course does not have any restrictions based on gender or race.
State Sen. Shevrin Jones can often be seen at the Florida Capitol greeting staff and colleagues with a smile or laugh, but when he’s alone it’s a different story. “The outward expression is to show God’s love. That’s what I was taught,” said Jones, a Democrat. But, he said, “I have enough tears in my car to fill a lake.” For Jones, who is gay, the past two years have been emotionally draining as Florida passed a flurry of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.CORRECTION*
Trump was the most pro-life president of our lifetime.
During his term, President Trump defunded Planned Parenthood, signed the Mexico City Policy that prohibited foreign aid for abortions, nominated pro-life judges to the Supreme Court, and was vocal in his support for the rights of the unborn. His actions were recognized by many pro-life groups and individuals as having a significant impact on the pro-life movement.
So, why are these same pro-life groups who hailed Trump a hero suddenly abandoning him, now? There’s a very good reason, and you’re not going to like it one bit.
(Snip) And one of the biggest pro-life movements in the country is currently leading
The judge presiding over Hunter Biden's child support trial on Monday ripped into the First Son for 'sealing and redacting' his financial information.
'The ability to redact is somewhat being abused,' Judge Holly Meyer fumed. ‘I’m seeing a lot of things filed, especially by Mr. Biden’s counsel, sealing things, redacting things, that are not confidential.'
She suggested that lawyers for the First Son's baby mama should subpoena a downtown Manhattan art gallery to find out exactly how much he has made from selling his art.
During Monday’s press conference, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made a bold claim that illegal immigration has decreased by more than 90 percent. However, critics are calling out her statement as a lie and are accusing her of spreading misinformation.
“When it comes to illegal migration, you have seen it come down by more than 90%, and that’s because of the actions that this president has taken,” she said. (Tweet/Video) Others have pointed out that KJP’s statement is particularly egregious given the ongoing crisis at the border.
CHICAGO — U.S. cities already struggling to shelter thousands of migrants are calling for federal help and an end to Republican political gamesmanship over immigration, concerned that an expected increase in the number of people entering the country when pandemic-era asylum restrictions end on the U.S.-Mexico border May 11 will further strain their budgets and resources. Chicago has long pledged to welcome migrants. But a tenfold increase in recent days has taxed resources. Migrants awaiting beds in city-run shelters are sleeping on floors in police stations and in airports surrounded by suitcases. They’re depending on donors for food, medicine and
President Joe Biden is dispatching 1,500 soldiers to the Southern border to stem the surge of illegal immigrants that are expected to follow next Thursday’s expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era public-health measure that allows Border Patrol to immediately expel illegal immigrants.
The active-duty Army units will assist Border Patrol and will be armed, though they will only be permitted to use their weapons in self-defense.
Following a request by the DHS, the Department of Defense agreed to “provide a temporary increase of an additional 1,500 military personnel, for 90 days, to supplement CBP efforts at the border,” an unnamed US official said in a statement provided to CNN.
Four years ago, Jill Biden was hesitant about her husband making a White House run, fearing the toll it could take on him and the family.
In the months before Joe Biden formally announced he’d make a reelection bid, she had no such reservations.
Privately, the first lady encouraged her husband to run again while giving him the space he needed to process the decision in the way he traditionally does: with extensive deliberations, consideration of the burden it would place on his family, and a bit of classic Biden hemming and hawing. She was involved in all the high-level discussions around the decision, giving counsel when she felt it was necessary.
The U.S. Secret Service said Monday it blocked a Muslim mayor from New Jersey from attending a White House celebration with President Joe Biden to belatedly mark the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Shortly before he was set to arrive at the White House for the Eid-al-Fitr celebration, Mayor Mohamed Khairullah said he received a call from the White House stating that he had not been cleared for entry by the Secret Service and could not attend the celebration where Biden delivered remarks to hundreds of guests.
He said the White House official did not explain why
There are still 553 days until Election Day 2024, but right now, things look pretty bleak for President Joe Biden.
Shortly after Biden announced his re-election campaign — not with a live event featuring thousands of cheering supporters but with a weird video posted on his website — his job approval rating among the U.S. public slipped to 37%, Gallup reports.That’s just slightly more than 1 in 3 people — not a winning number. In the 2020 election, Biden won 51.3% of the vote, so that’s a 14.3% drop in support.
And for the record, 37% is the lowest Gallup has measured for him to date.
Once the sun sets on the Himalayas and temperatures drop, a cacophony of eerie noises erupts deep within the glaciers around Mount Everest.
Researchers led by the glaciologist Evgeny Podolskiy have found that the chorus of crashing and splintering noises in the high-altitude glaciers is a result of sharp drops in temperature after dark that causes ice to crack.
The team pinpointed the cause of the sounds in 2018 after spending more than a week trekking through the Nepalese Himalayas to test the seismic activity of the Trakarding-Trambau Glacier system there. Dr Podolskiy and his team spent three weeks shivering on the glacier in full view of Mt Everest,
Around 15 years ago CTH outlined the inclusive goal of the progressive movement, modern Democrats as they were evolving, was to deconstruct the U.S. economic system so that Americans would be forced to live in government-controlled poverty. Essentially reduced to circling a campfire, eating sustainable algae cakes and picking parasites off our family members.
Most people understandably scoffed and said we were being hyperbolic. (snip)Fast forward a decade+ later, and there is Joe Biden’s Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, explaining why it is better for the health of the planet if Americans lose their jobs, lose their economic sustainability, starve in feudal poverty,
