Twitter Censors Tucker Carlson for Supporting Babylon Bee

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, the most popular cable news host on television, is the latest victim of Twitter censorship as the platform cracks down on anyone who even jokes about the fact that Biden administration Health & Human Services Assistant Secretary Rachel Levine is a biological man.

The censorship of Tucker follows the censorship of the official account of conservative satirical website The Babylon Bee, the editor-in-chief of the same website, and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, both because of tweets referring to Levine by his biological gender.

Carlson had posted screenshots of tweets by the Babylon Bee and Kirk, stating that “both these tweets are true.” . . .

Simply for stating that the tweets were true, Tucker was censored by Twitter as well. The tweet is now no longer available on Twitter because it “violates the Twitter rules” against “hateful conduct.” (Read more from “Twitter Censors Tucker Carlson for Supporting Babylon Bee” HERE)

All Was Not Holy: Bombshell Hillsong Doc Details Scandals, Abuse, Church Cover Ups

/0 Comments/in , /by

Under celebrity pastor Carl Lentz, international megachurch Hillsong became trendy and influential, garnering splashy profiles in outlets such as GQ, and attracting stars such as Chris Pratt, Kendall Jenner, Nick Jonas and Justin Bieber.

But all was not holy. “Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed,” a new three-part docuseries premiering March 24 on Discovery+, dives into the jaw-dropping history of the religious institution and its founder Brian Houston, who has been accused of everything from embezzling church funds to covering up child sex abuse. Houston, 68, stepped down as the church’s director in January (amid a court case accusing Houston of hiding his late father’s sexual abuse of children — all of which the church has denied), and he resigned for good March 23, after an internal misconduct investigation, which found Houston had behaved inappropriately towards two women. . .

Hillsong originated in Australia in 1983, founded by Houston, who grew up in dad Frank Houston’s Sydney-based Pentecostal church. When Houston was looking to expand into America, charismatic young pastor Lentz, now 43, came to his attention in 2010. . .

Ranin Karim, 35, alleges she had a five-month-long affair with Lentz that eventually led to Hillsong ousting him in 2020, as she exclusively told The Post in November 2020. In the documentary, Karim describes how they met in a park and exchanged phone numbers. When she asked for his last name, “He was like, ‘When people Google people . . . it’s not a good look. It’s better to get to know the person before you look them up.’ That was the weirdest answer I had ever heard,” she says. . .

Lentz was fired from Hillsong in November 2020, with Houston citing his “moral failures.” (Read more from “All Was Not Holy: Bombshell Hillsong Doc Details Scandals, Abuse, Church Cover Ups” HERE)

Democrats Push Biden To Extend Student Loan Freeze Through The End Of The Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of Congressional Democrats is pushing for President Joe Biden to continue the payment freeze on federal student loans at least through the end of 2022.

In a letter to Biden on Monday, a group of 43 House Democrats, led by Pennsylvania Representative Conor Lamb, said that Biden needed to continue the “progress” made by Democrats in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic by extending the pause, or else the rapid transition to repayment would risk borrowers being delinquent of defaulting on their loans.

“Thank you for all your work to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic,” the Congress members wrote to Biden. “We must continue this important progress by providing relief to everyday Americans from the challenges of the pandemic. Although American families, communities, and our economy have made great strides in overcoming COVID-19, it is still impacting people’s lives,” they continued, citing a report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which claimed that 20 million households did not have enough to eat and 10 million households were behind on rent. “Unemployment remains higher than two years ago, and families are experiencing significant price increases on household goods, food, and energy,” the Democrats wrote. “Accordingly, we believe that the Administration should extend its pause on student loan repayment and interest accrual.” (Read more from “Democrats Push Biden To Extend Student Loan Freeze Through The End Of The Year” HERE)

Sarah Palin Open to Serving in Late Don Young’s House Seat

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is open to replacing Rep. Don Young after the longtime congressman died late last week.

Palin, 58, made the comments Monday as Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s administration sorts out a complicated process that will include not only a special election to seat a replacement this year but also a primary and general election to determine who will take the seat for the next two-year term.

“Think of those huge shoes that are to be filled when we consider Don Young’s longevity and his passion, his love, his fighting spirit for our wonderful state of Alaska and for the nation as a whole,” Palin told Newsmax. “If I were asked to serve in the House and take his place, I would be humbled and honored, and I would. Yeah, in a heartbeat, I would.”

Palin, a Republican, served as the ninth governor of Alaska from 2006 to 2009. Before she resigned, Palin became John McCain’s vice presidential running mate in the 2008 presidential election, which they lost to the Democrats’ Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Palin has not held office since. (Read more from “Sarah Palin Open to Serving in Late Don Young’s House Seat” HERE)

Conservative Workers Fearing Retaliation Ask Disney for Neutrality

/0 Comments/in , /by

Conservative employees at Disney are asking the company to stop wading into politics as it draws nationwide attention for its response to controversial education legislation recently passed in Florida.

A group of employees, wishing to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, wrote an open letter to Disney leadership that claims the Walt Disney Company has become an “increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive.”

“We watch quietly as our beliefs come under attack from our own employer, and we frequently see those who share our opinions condemned as villains by our own leadership,” the letter reads, noting the company’s antagonistic response to the Florida legislation, named the “Parental Rights in Education” bill and has been branded the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by detractors.

A current Disney employee who was one of those behind the open letter told the Washington Examiner during a Wednesday interview that some Right-leaning Disney employees have been discussing their concerns with each other outside of work channels. The employee said they don’t want to see the company become “a political arm of the Democratic Party.”

“This opposing of legislation, in particular, I find very distasteful for a company to do on behalf of politically minded employees,” the insider said. “That just strikes me as really gross because we’re talking about a multibillion-dollar company deciding to use their assets to subvert the democratic process.” (Read more from “Conservative Workers Fearing Retaliation Ask Disney for Neutrality” HERE)

Bishop Hangs Banner Of Nude Trans Activist Over Main Altar For Lent

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Catholic bishop of Innsbruck, Austria, inaugurated a “Lenten” decoration of the main altar of the historic University church of Saint John Nepomuk, a baroque jewel from the early 18th century. The “decoration” shows an enlarged partial inverted photograph of a naked young man with scars and tattoos lying on a bed and has been placed as an altarpiece above the tabernacle of the former main altar of the church. The piece of contemporary art by Carmen Brucic was specially chosen by Bishop Hermann Glettler, and bears the title: “Tired.” . . .

screenshot / @bischof_hermann instagram

In itself, the more-than-life-size picture (4.5 by 3 meters) is completely incongruous over an altar because it has no religious meaning. But the picture of this nude young man lying on his back in an exhausted attitude, barely missing the display of his genitalia, is doubly scandalous. Besides its obvious indecency in such a setting, it portrays a prominent figure of the “queer” scene in Tbilisi, thus openly glorifying a “gay” activist from Georgia whose image will remain over the tabernacle holding the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist until the end of Lent.

The said young man, David Apakidze, 23, is half Georgian, half Ukrainian – a somewhat obvious way of presenting the photo installation as a reflection on the current Russian invasion of Ukraine. But he is better known as an activist of the Bassiani club where Georgian homosexuals, drag queens and other self-proclaimed promoters of sexual deviancy had found a “safe space” for techno music, rave parties, and “LGBTQ” performances. The club was founded in 2014 and hosted performances that can only be qualified as hellish. In May 2018, the club was raided by police and closed. Many later joined a public protest dubbed “rave-o-lution days” with crowds dancing non-stop in the streets to techno music. The club was reopened but closed again for many months due to COVID restrictions.

At this time, Apakidze became a member of the “queer Georgian art collective” dedicated to “destroying toxic social norms.” (Read more from “Bishop Hangs Banner Of Nude Trans Activist Over Main Altar For Lent” HERE)

Trump Says Putin Used the N-Word a Lot…But It’s Not the Word You’re Thinking About (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. . .Trump and Putin were always a liberal media obsession due to the collusion myth, but Trump noted that the latter man used the n-word a lot. No, it wasn’t some racist anecdote or a scene out of Django Unchained. Putin was a man who liked the nukes.

“Nuclear” was the n-word Trump said was the one tossed around a lot. The former president discussed this on Fox Business yesterday, which I’m sure made everyone in the control room reach for the Advil, whiskey, or both. The tension was probably palpable until Trump revealed which n-word he was talking about. It got your attention, right? The man knows how to capture an audience. . .

And this unpredictability appears to be enough to keep people in line. Speaking with former professional golfer, John Daly, Mr. ‘grip it and rip it,’ the president noted how he threatened to strike Moscow if things got out of hand. Trump admits that maybe Putin only believed that there was a 5-10 percent chance we’d follow through on that threat—but it was enough. No one wants nuclear war, though that’s also become a bipartisan consensus here in DC.

Rudy Giuliani Says ‘Genius’ Trump Threatened To Blow Up Putin’s ‘Gold Bubbles’

By Yahoo News. Rudy Giuliani said former President Donald Trump made an unusual threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin while he was in office.

Giuliani told Newsmax over the weekend that Trump had authorized him to share the details of a meeting with Putin where Ukraine came up in the conversation.

Trump “says, ‘Vladimir, you shouldn’t, like, attack Ukraine. I never liked those big, what are those things you got in Moscow, those big bubbles? Those big gold bubbles, I never liked those things, so I’m gonna have to blow them up,’” Giuliani said. . .

“So Putin says, ‘They’re churches,’” Giuliani recounted. Trump said, “Oh, Vladimir, don’t tell me that about churches, c’mon. Churches? You can fool Bush, you can’t fool me. You care about churches?” (Read more from “Rudy Giuliani Says ‘Genius’ Trump Threatened to Blow up Putin’s ‘Gold Bubbles’” HERE)

Trump Says He Would Send Nuclear Submarines to Go ‘Up and Down’ Russia’s Coast to Pressure Putin

By Business Insider. Former President Donald Trump said on Monday that the US should put pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin by sending its nuclear submarines to ply the Russian coast. . .

“And we say, ‘Oh, he’s a nuclear power.’ But we’re a greater nuclear power. We have the greatest submarines in the world, the most powerful machines ever built,” he told the host Stuart Varney.

“You should say, ‘Look, you mention that word one more time, we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth, up and down your coast,” Trump said. “You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these, these thousands of people die.”

The US has a fleet of 14 Ohio-class ballistic-missile submarines “designed specifically for stealth and the precise delivery of nuclear warheads,” per the US Navy. (Read more from “Trump Says He Would Send Nuclear Submarines to Go ‘Up and Down’ Russia’s Coast to Pressure Putin” HERE)

Twitter Has Doubled Down on Punishing The Babylon Bee

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter, since we last covered their punishment of the Babylon Bee on Sunday, is doubling down on censoring conservative accounts. This includes the Babylon Bee’s editor-in-chief, Kyle Mann, as CEO Seth Dillon and their news site, Not the Bee, shared.

Mann had his account locked for “violating [Twitter’s] rules against hateful conduct.”

His tweet in question from Monday morning speculated that “Maybe they’ll let us back into our @TheBabylonBee Twitter account if we throw a few thousand Uighurs in a concentration camp.”

Children’s Hospital Instructs Kids To Bind Their Genitals And Solicit Sex Shops

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland has been teaching “safe tucking” and “chest binding” to minors confused about their sex, even referring them to a local sex shop as a resource. Chest binding means putting pressure on breasts to hide them, and tucking means similarly treating male genitals.

Doernbecher, a division of Oregon Health and Science University, operates a “gender clinic” for “transgender and gender-nonconforming children and teens.” The “clinic” provides puberty suppression, hormones, and genital mutilation (under the name “gender-affirming surgery”) to children confused about their sex.

The hospital’s “Safe Tucking” handout describes ways for boys confused about their biology to hide their healthy organs. “Tucking can reduce any concerns you have about your body, how your clothes fit and how safe you feel in public,” the handout reads. . .

Doernbecher also offers a handout entitled “About Chest Binding.” This handout describes ways for girls confused about their sex to hide their feminine biology. . .

If that wasn’t enough, Doernbecher refers minors to sex shops as resources. In instructing boys where to find “tucking clothing,” the hospital boasted that one shop, Origami Customs, has been featured by Planned Parenthood. The business aims to be “anti-capitalist,” according to its website. (Read more from “Children’s Hospital Instructs Kids to Bind Their Genitals and Solicit Sex Shops” HERE)
