/0 Comments/in , /by

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Wednesday that his nation is joining the U.S. in a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing following concerns of human rights abuses in the Communist nation.

Trudeau made the remarks after a similar move by President Joe Biden on Monday that was soon followed by leaders in Australia and the United Kingdom.

Canada’s athletes will continue plans to compete in the Olympic Games.

Major City to Spend $500 Million Teaching Kids to Obsess About Sex and Race

/1 Comment/in , /by

Last week, fifth-grade teacher Amy Parker took the pages of the education site Chalkbeat to celebrate New York City’s initiative to promote “culturally responsive education” in its public schools. Parker introduces her essay by lamenting that “School taught me to hide who I was and what I valued” because it didn’t assign books with characters who had gay parents. But, at the same time, Parker also complains that she “was overly represented in the books [she] read and the classes [she] took.”

To make up for this injustice, Parker has now committed herself to providing a “culturally responsive and sustaining education” or “CRSE.” This means that she will pick texts on the basis of “representation” and “diversity” and emphasize racial and sexual identity in all her lessons. Instead of learning about the world and how to contribute to it, her students will now learn about themselves and how to become “agents of change.”

For these courageous efforts, New York City will support Parker and other teachers like her with a gargantuan sum of money: “Over the course of three years, almost $500 million will be allocated to CRSE so that our students are reflected in what and how they learn.”

While everyone is certainly entitled to her opinions, even bad ones, this becomes a problem when it comes with such a high price tag and threatens to become the dominant position of an entire profession. I may not teach in New York, but even here in Texas, this kind of thinking and the policies it inspires are increasingly common in our public schools.

Poll: Most Americans Believe In Biblical God, Heaven and Hell, and Purpose for Suffering

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you only watched corporate media’s coverage of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Organization abortion case before the Supreme Court last week, you’d think very few people still believed in Christianity and its values, prominent among which is the belief that life is divinely created and precious. But a recent poll suggests the majority of Americans do express a belief in God.

In a survey of some 6,500 American adults, Pew Research Center found that many Americans still hold religious convictions including a deep and abiding belief in God, belief in heaven and hell, and the belief that God is not to blame for human suffering. . .

In the survey, a majority of Americans (58 percent) define their God as the one described in the Bible. Another one-third (32 percent) believe in a god or spiritual power, although not necessarily that of the Bible. All told, nine in 10 Americans believe in some higher power working in our world.

As for respondents’ religious affiliation, Pew found some 66 percent identified as Christian — 42 percent Protestant and 21 percent Catholic. Another 28 percent claimed no religious affiliation, including 10 percent who were atheist or agnostic and another 18 percent who said they believed “nothing in particular.” . . .

Trusting in God means he controls our eternal destiny. Nearly three-fourths of all adult Americans (73 percent) believe in heaven. (Read more from “Poll: Most Americans Believe In Biblical God, Heaven and Hell, and Purpose for Suffering” HERE)

Biden: Sending US Troops to Ukraine ‘Not on the Table’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden on Wednesday said the United States is not considering sending troops to Ukraine amid rising fears about the possibility of a Russian military invasion.

“That is not on the table,” Biden told reporters at the White House before departing for a trip to Kansas City, Mo.

“We have a moral obligation and a legal obligation to our NATO allies if they were to attack under Article 5, it’s a sacred obligation. That obligation does not extend to … Ukraine,” he added.

Biden said it would “depend upon what the rest of the NATO countries were willing to do as well” but rejected the idea that the U.S. would “unilaterally use force to confront Russia” if it were to invade.

The president’s comments came a day after his tense two-hour virtual meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which White House officials said the American president warned his Russian counterpart of harsh economic sanctions should Russia invade Ukraine.

Amid Spike in Suicides in Alaska, the Army Invested in Mental Health. But the Problem Is Getting Worse.

/0 Comments/in , /by

As many as 15 soldiers stationed in Alaska have died by suicide this year, more than double the number of such deaths in all of 2020 in a crisis that has defied solution.

The suicide deaths have sparked alarm at the Pentagon’s highest level. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is aware of the “worrisome trend in Alaska,” according to a Defense official who was not authorized to speak publicly. Austin, who visited troops in Alaska this summer and addressed suicide and mental health, is in contact with Army leaders about improving conditions there and across the armed services to try to prevent “tragic deaths,” the official said.

Austin’s visit came after USA TODAY reported that at least six soldiers in Alaska had died by suicide in the first five months of 2021. Despite the attention, suicides among the 11,500 soldiers in Alaska have continued. The Army has confirmed 10 suicide deaths among soldiers in 2021 with another five deaths under investigation for suicide or accident. Two more soldiers in Alaska have died in accidents, according to John Pennell, an Army spokesman.

There were seven suicides among soldiers in Alaska in 2020 and eight in 2019. . .

Despite spending $214 million in fiscal year 2020 in a “Quality of Life” campaign at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, suicides have continued. The investment was made after a previous cluster of suicides, smaller than this year’s, had occurred. From January 2014 to March 2019, there were 11 suicides among soldiers at Fort Wainwright. A survey of 4,000 soldiers there found that 10.8% had expressed ideas about suicide, according to a 2019 report. (Read more from “Amid Spike in Suicides in Alaska, the Army Invested in Mental Health.

WATCH: File on Epstein Hard Drive Details His Close Relationship With Ghislaine Maxwell; A ‘Chilling Factor’ for Victims: Maxwell Lawyer Drops Anonymous Accusers’ Real Names in Court

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. A document found on a hard drive in Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse detailed his intimate relationship with alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell — including how the two were “rarely apart.”

The fawning file was created on a desktop by someone logged in as the user “GMax” on Oct. 14, 2002, and discovered by the feds after they raided the sex offender’s Upper East Side lair in 2019, an FBI analyst, Stephen Flatley, testified in Manhattan federal court Tuesday.

“Jeffrey and Ghislaine have been together as a couple for the last 11 years,” the note started. “They are, contrary to what people think, rarely apart, I almost always see them together.” . . .

“Jeffrey and Ghislaine share many mutual interests and they have a lot of fun together,” it continued.

The duo was described as thick as thieves, with the file noting, “they compliment each other really well.” (Read more from “‘Rarely Apart’: File on Epstein Hard Drive Details His Close Relationship With Ghislaine Maxwell” HERE)

Accuser Says Ghislaine Maxwell Assessed Her Body for Epstein When She Was 14

By NBC News. One of the women who says she was a minor when she started having sex with Jeffrey Epstein testified Tuesday that Ghislaine Maxwell personally inspected her body.

“She came in and felt my boobs and my hips and my buttocks and said I had a great body for Mr. Epstein and his friends,” the woman, who is being identified as “Carolyn,” said at Maxwell’s child sex trafficking trial in New York City.

Carolyn initially said she was 14 and later said she was 13 when she was introduced to Maxwell and Epstein by Virginia Roberts Giuffre — another woman who says the couple sexually abused and trafficked her.

A ‘Chilling Factor’ for Victims: Ghislaine Maxwell Lawyer Drops Anonymous Accusers’ Real Names in Court

By Rolling Stone. Last week in the sex-trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, defense attorney Jeff Pagliuca made a show of remembering to respect an alleged victim’s request for anonymity. He had just begun discussing the first accuser, known only by the pseudonym “Jane” while cross-examining Jeffrey Epstein’s former estate staff member Juan Alessi. Judge Alison Nathan broke in with a reminder to not say Jane’s real name out loud. Pagliuca told the judge not to worry. “I have it blacked out on all my copies,” he said, referring to the documents in front of him. Nathan replied that she was also providing the reminder for the benefit of Alessi, who was less familiar with the process. Then Pagliuca read from the document in front of him and promptly spoke Jane’s real first name out loud.

Today, he did it again. In open court, he uttered the real last name of Carolyn, the third of four accusers to testify for the state, who tearfully recounted testimony of being abused by Epstein and Maxwell starting when she was 14, and whom counsel had agreed to refer to by her first name only. Prosecutors immediately complained to the judge.

Joe Rogan Thinks White Supremacist Group That Marched Through DC Is Fake (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Podcaster Joe Rogan said he believes members of the white supremacist group “Patriot Front” are secretly federal agents in disguise, arguing they’re “too slim” to be actual extremists.

On Saturday, more than 100 members of the group marched through downtown Washington, D.C., in matching uniforms, calling to “reclaim America.”

“There has never been a thing that I’ve ever seen, where almost immediately I was like, ‘those are feds,’” Rogan said on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience on Tuesday. “First of all these guys are too slim, I’m looking at these guys, they’re all in shape, they’re all thin, they’re uniformly marching with flags. I’m like, there’s no way these f*cking idiots would be this organized.”

[Warning: Tweet contains explicit language.]

“You look at these people, walking down the street with their masks on, all dressed in black, all wearing like essentially uniform, all holding the same size American flag,” Rogan continued. “If you watch this I’m like, what are you guys doing?”

Rogan again argued that the marchers were too in shape to actually be a white supremacist group. “You look at them marching you go, why are these guys in such good shape?” (Read more from “Joe Rogan Thinks White Supremacist Group That Marched Through DC Is Fake” HERE)

The World’s Population Is Set to Decline for the First Time in Centuries

/0 Comments/in , /by

For the first time in centuries the world’s population is set to decline in a few decades.

There are currently around 7.8 billion of us in the world right now and that number is expected to peak in 2064, when I’ll be 69 years old…yikes.

Based on a new study published in The Lancet, the peak will be at roughly 9.7 billion and then will drop to 8.8 billion by 2100, where I’ll either be reincarnated into a sheep or floating around in heaven, with the littest Instagram stories ever.

Anyway, Stein Emil Vollset, is the lead study author and Professor of Global Health at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) – and he went into more detail of the ‘groundbreaking’ study. . .

“If our forecast is correct, it will be the first time population decline is driven by fertility decline, as opposed to events such as a pandemic or famine” (Read more from “The World’s Population Is Set to Decline for the First Time in Centuries” HERE)

Biden’s Vaccine Mandate for Federal Contractors Has Been Shot Down

/0 Comments/in , /by

A nationwide injunction against President Joe Biden’s Wuhan coronavirus vaccine mandate for federal contractors has been issued by a federal judge in Georgia. The reasons cited for the injunction include Biden overreaching through executive order and a lack of congressional approval.

“While the Procurement Act explicitly and unquestionably bestows some authority upon the President, the Court is unconvinced, at this state of the litigation, that it authorized him to direct the type of actions by agencies that are contained in EO 14042. Pursuant to clear United States Supreme Court precedent, Congress is expected to ‘speak clearly’ when authorizing the exercise of powers of ‘vast economic and political significance,'” Judge Stan Baker of Southern District of Georgia wrote in the injunction.
