Will Keep Kid's Preferred Gender Identities
Under Wraps 12 replies
North Dakota parents fumed at a school board after discovering it has kept students' preferred gender identities under wraps.
Fargo Public Schools publicly announced that they would defy Republican Gov. Doug Burgum’s law that bans such actions in the classroom. “We will not openly out any student because of one law if we know that that’s going to cause harm to that child,” Fargo Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Rupak Gandhi said.
Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Wednesday that she supports efforts from the Biden administration to require the U.S. military to implement an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030, telling lawmakers that she believes "we can get there."
Granholm's remarks came during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing following questions from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who asked the Biden administration official whether she supports the military's adoption of an "EV fleet by 2030."
"I do, and I think we can get there, as well"
In recent years, several school districts have been ousted for keeping parents in the dark about their child’s gender transitions at school.(snip) And last year, Republican Sen. Tim Scott (SC) introduced legislation that would prevent schools from hiding information about a student’s gender identity from their parents. Documents obtained from parental rights organization Parents Defending Education and reviewed by Townhall show that Pueblo School District 60 in Colorado has guidelines to keep students’ “gender identity” secret from their parents.
Earth Day is upon us—that forlorn little non-holiday that some years sandwiches itself between Easter and Passover, or other years trails in the wake of those “real” holidays. (snip) For the two of us environmentalists—one of us nominally Jewish, the other a recovering Catholic—we find the ill-defined nature of the only day honoring the place that makes life itself possible more than a little sacrilegious. So, on this 53rd Earth Day we thought it useful to pose what a real Earth Day should represent and how it could form a central time for a new approach to worship.

A private Christian school in Vermont that forfeited a girls’ basketball game against a team with a biological male “transgender” player has been banned from participating in upcoming sporting events. The Vermont Principals’ Association, which oversees school sporting events, announced on Monday that Mid Vermont Christian School would be ineligible to participate in sporting events and other activities done through the organization.
“The VPA again reiterates its ongoing support of transgender student-athletes as not only a part of building an inclusive community for each student to grow and thrive.

Bombshell Report: No ‘Definitive Answer’
On COVID Lab Leak 17 replies
White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan downplayed the bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal that found the Department of Energy has concluded the COVID-19 pandemic most likely developed from a lab leak. There is "no definitive answer," Sullivan said when questioned on the matter during an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union."
(snip) President Biden specifically requested that the National Labs, which are part of the Department of Energy, be brought into this assessment because he wants to put every tool at use to be able to figure out what happened here," Sullivan said.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) once again took to the airwaves to say Democratic cities who declared themselves to be a sanctuary for illegal immigrants are being stretched thin due to the large number of people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. New York City has had to open a fifth shelter for recent arrivals from the southern border, which is in addition to using hotels and homeless shelters to house people coming from Latin America and even parts of Asia. (snip) He went on to blame Republicans for blocking "comprehensive immigration policies" that caused the massive influx of illegal crossings.
Townhall has reported on several situations in which Americans took advantage of COVID-19 pandemic programs and defrauded the government to enrich themselves at the expense of taxpayers, but it turns out there were also perfectly legal loopholes that allowed wealthy Americans to take unemployment benefits — even those who had annual incomes over $1 million. Recent data released by the IRS reveal that thousands of Americans — 19,003 to be exact — reported receiving unemployment compensation in 2020 despite having adjusted gross income of greater than $1 million that year. The amount of unemployment compensation that those millionaires received totaled $263,794,000.
There have been some just outright shameless takes when it comes to how Hurricane Ian is headed for Florida, where Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is in charge. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) went a particular step by incorporating it into the upcoming November midterms. While calling into MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday morning, she used the hurricane as an opportunity to campaign for Democrats now just six weeks before the November 8. Klobuchar herself isn't up for re-election until 2024. (snip) "We just did something about climate change, for the first time in decades. That's why we've gotta win this, as that hurricane bears down on Florida."
It's no secret that the mainstream media and liberal pundit class are not fans of Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. From the day he took office, through COVID, and amid Biden's border crisis, the media has never resisted an opportunity — however frivolous — to attack the man known to conservatives as "America's Governor." (snip) But now, even the media has found another low with their anti-DeSantis attacks: salivating over the chance for a hurricane to devastate Florida and make its governor look bad.
Sea level rise is increasing at a dramatic rate. Scientists at the University of Miami warn that if we don't act soon, coastal cities and towns will slowly diminish.
Scientists say a few decades from now, downtown Miami will be underwater.
The tide is coming in and eventually it's not going to go back out," says Dr. Harold Wanless, a Geologist and Professor of Geography and Sustainable Development at University of Miami. So what does that mean for us? According to Dr. Wanelss's research, by the year 2060, nearly 60% of Miami-Dade county will be underwater.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have “nothing left to say.”
In a shocking U-turn, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to stop publishing tell-alls, engaging in sit-down interviews, and taking part in large-scale documentaries, according to a report.
“That period of their life is over — as there is nothing left to say,” a source told the Sun of the exiled couple’s plan to step away from the limelight.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sensationally stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2021 — a decision that was followed by a permanent move to the US amid their ongoing quest for “privacy.”

A topless pregnant transgender man featured on the cover of Glamour U.K.'s June issue ignited a fierce reaction from online critics Thursday.
Author Logan Brown, a 27-year-old who was born female but now identifies as a transgender man, posed as the cover star of British Glamour Magazine's digital issue celebrating Pride Month in a painted-on suit, showcasing a large baby bump. Brown unexpectedly became pregnant with partner Bailey J Mills, a non-binary drag performer in the U.K., while taking a break from testosterone treatments due to health reasons, the fashion magazine said.
The Left’s woke agenda is melting into every aspect of Americans’ lives. It has taken over children’s books and movies, the month of June, beer, clothing, and now conservative news. Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner admitted on-air that the Right-leaning network might have to give in to the radical, progressive narrative in response to mandated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies to comply with woke state laws.
Faulkner referred to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mandates that are beginning to be enforced by various states nationwide— especially in New York {where Fox News is headquartered),
As Donald Trump ramps up his attacks on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a strange trend is emerging. Most of his attacks are coming from the left.
In his speeches, posts on Truth Social, and comments to the press, Trump has been shouting things like: DeSantis wants to cut Social Security and Medicare! DeSantis did a worse job on COVID than New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo! DeSantis’ attack on Disney “is all so unnecessary, a political STUNT!”
In one recent post, Trump said that “I strongly defended and backed Ethanol, Ron ‘DeSaster’ has ALWAYS been strongly against Ethanol,
Alternate headline: Pottery Barn rules apply to walkouts. In an 8-1 decision in which only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson fully dissented, the Supreme Court ruled today that unions have to reimburse employers for damages caused by striking workers. The National Labor Relations Act does not confer immunity to unions or workers — the latest ruling from a court that has stiffened the boundaries for labor activities in the last few years:
The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that federal labor law did not protect a union from potential liability for damage that arose during a strike, and that a state court should resolve questions of liability.

California lawmakers plan to honor a member of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” despite backlash over the Los Angeles Dodgers also honoring the anti-Catholic drag group.
The “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” is an organization of men who dress in drag queen versions of Catholic religious habits and claim to have a “ministry,” according to its website.
The California State Legislature’s LGBTQ Caucus will honor Michael Williams, a member of the “Sisters” who goes by “Sister Roma” and uses “she/her” pronouns.
Kari Lake will replace Mike Pence as the keynote speaker alongside President Trump and other MAGA conservatives at the Georgia GOP convention on June 9.
According to a source, ticket sales have more than doubled, with over 900 sales, compared to the last state GOP convention, which sold just 400 tickets.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The latest bout in the political feud between Donald Trump and Mike Pence is on hold. Both were set to speak at next week’s Georgia GOP convention, but the former vice president is a late scratch.
Pence famously broke with the former president last year by endorsing Gov. Brian Kemp’s reelection bid,
President Joe Biden delivered his first Oval Office address as president from behind the Resolute Desk to hold up a deal to avoid defaulting on the nation's debt as a substantial bipartisan achievement.
'We averted an economic crisis – an economic collapse,' Biden told the nation Friday night.
'Passing this budget agreement was critical,' Biden said, speaking in a low voice during the prime time broadcast. 'The stakes could not have been higher. If they had failed to reach an agreement on the budget, there were extreme voices threatening to take America for the first time in our 247 year history, in a default on our national debt.'

Major clothing brands are kicking off Pride Month with LGBT-themed clothing marketed to children and toddlers, despite backlash against Target’s Pride collection for children.
Target has lost $9 billion in market value in just one week after announcing a Pride collection that features LGBT-themed clothing for children, as well as a chest binding swim top and “tuck-friendly” bathing suit. Although some stores have relocated their Pride displays, Target CEO Brian Cornell has stood by the company’s commitment to transgenderism, calling the backlash against the clothing collection “gut-wrenching.”
The California Senate on Tuesday voted to pay $300 weekly checks to unemployed illegal immigrants even as the state faces a roughly $31.5 billion deficit and mass illegal immigration. (snip)
California’s unemployment insurance fund, which was defrauded of some $31 billion during the COVID-19 pandemic, would be in charge of dispensing the checks. California employers are on the hook for the fund’s $20 billion debt in the form of higher payroll taxes that threaten employee-heavy small businesses and restaurants already devastated by California Democrats’ strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
Bruce Springsteen had a moment that fans, bandmates and promoters dread when, during a concert in Amsterdam last Saturday (May 27), the rock legend had an on-stage fall. The accident happened mid-performance, as the 73-year-old artist returned from a stint in the pit and tripped up the stairs while carrying his electric guitar. Springsteen appeared to have a soft landing, as members of the E Street Band rushed over to check on him and help the Boss to his feet.
“Goodnight everybody,” he yelled to the audience, as he gingerly made his way back to the center stage. Thankfully, it wasn’t the end of the show. The incident happened

Yesterday Zhou announced that the American Empire is still considering sending ATACMS systems to Ukraine. That would be the MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), which is a tactical ballistic missile with a range of up to 190 miles and is capable of precision strikes based on its GPS based guidance system. I have no idea of how the ATACMS would fare against Russia’s world class air defense system, but conceptually this would be a major escalation of the US war on Russia.(snip). That is the US “poking the bear” as an active participant of war on Russia, while there is no responsible public discussion of our war in

Oakland was bad enough already, and then the ultra-liberal Utopians decided they could make it "better" by defunding the police, instituting no-bail policies, and emptying the jails. This is the result.
