Kansas GOP Push to ‘Value Them Both’ on Abortion Law Fails

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kansas voters on Tuesday rejected a state constitutional amendment that would have declared there is no right to abortion, according to Decision Desk HQ. . .

Kansas voters delivered a victory to abortion rights advocates in a deeply conservative state.

“The vote, which comes just over a month after the U.S. Supreme Court revoked federal abortion rights, demonstrates once again that voters across the country do not want politicians interfering in their health care decisions,” Planned Parenthood Action wrote in a statement Tuesday night.

The vote was the first statewide referendum on abortion since the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision in June. The ballot question drew national attention as an early indicator of whether abortion rights will motivate voters in November’s midterm elections.

The amendment’s failure will prevent Kansas’ Republican-led legislature from passing severe abortion restrictions without violating the state constitution. (Read more from “Kansas GOP Push to ‘Value Them Both’ on Abortion Law Fails” HERE)

Parents, if You Don’t Get a Grip on Your Kids’ Social Media, Trans Activists Will

/0 Comments/in , /by

An elementary school in Indiana must allow a 10-year-old boy who identifies as transgender to play on its all-girls softball team despite a new state law preventing males from competing on female sports teams, a judge ruled Tuesday. This is just the most recent example of how the trans movement is affecting our kids: an elementary school’s all-girls softball team. What is behind all these stories of young children gender bending? Social media could have something to do with it.

Social media and smartphones are harmful to kids. This is increasingly recognized and reported on by the media and has become a growing area of national, bipartisan concern in Congress. And parents already seem to realize that screens are addictive for kids, so they limit screen time and put boundaries in place around when and how often they can use devices. However, many parents aren’t aware of just how full of harmful content and dangerous voices many of today’s popular apps are. Time limits won’t cut it since even a small amount of time on the wrong apps can be extremely damaging.

The truth is that social media apps today are full of pornography, sexual images, and radical LGBT content directly opposed to conservative values and Christian beliefs. Kids are following and listening to complete strangers, many of them grown adults, whose voices bombard them on social media. And some of the loudest voices recently are those of transgender influencers.

LGBT activists have taken to the online world to recruit more followers, specifically seeking young people, to join their cause and become their allies. They prey on the vulnerability of children in order to convince them of the validity and normalcy of their radical, sexually perverted lifestyles. Influencers are actively working to undermine parents’ own authority over their children and to replace the loving influence of parents in children’s lives and hearts with their own “welcoming and accepting” rainbow community.

Social media companies allow influencers to peddle misinformation on the drugs and surgeries that are commonplace for transgender individuals. Influencers coach teens on how to lie to doctors and their parents in order to get these drugs or surgeries, which they promise will make them feel better. On TikTok YouTube, influencers talk about how great they feel now that they have “transitioned.” (Read more from “Parents, if You Don’t Get a Grip on Your Kids’ Social Media, Trans Activists Will” HERE)

Airbnb Apologizes After ‘1830s Slave Cabin’ Was Advertised as Luxury Bed and Breakfast

/0 Comments/in , /by

Airbnb removed listings and apologized on Monday after a TikTok user complained that a “slave cabin” in Greenville, Mississippi, had been listed as a bed and breakfast.

Wynton Yates, a black lawyer from New Orleans, posted a video that went viral last week blasting the online rental app for listing the “Panther Burn Cottage” at Belmont Plantation. Screen captures taken by Yates showed the listing described as an “1830s slave cabin” that had also been used as a “tenant sharecroppers cabin” before being converted into a bed and breakfast.

“How is this okay in somebody’s mind to rent this out — a place where human beings were kept as slaves — rent this out as a bed and breakfast?” Yates asked in the video.

“The history in this country is constantly being denied and now it’s being mocked by turning into a luxurious vacation spot,” Yates said after pointing out the rental featured running water and lighting fixtures, luxuries that were not enjoyed by the enslaved people once held there.

COVID Shots for Tots Flop Despite Biden’s Push

/0 Comments/in , /by

Few parents are getting their young children vaccinated against COVID-19, despite the Biden administration’s much-anticipated rollout of the shots for children under the age of 5 more than a month ago.

As of last week, just 4.7% of U.S. children aged 6 months to 4 years old had received at least one dose of the shot, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Parents are not lining up for the shots, which became available June 18 after the Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of both the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines for children as young as 6 months.

According to the FDA, “the known and potential benefits of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the known and potential risks in the pediatric populations authorized for use for each vaccine.”

But parents are hesitant, and many say they will not vaccinate their young children until there is more information about immediate and long-term side effects of the “newer technology” mRNA used in the Moderna and Pfizer shots to trigger an immune response.

Doctors Use Virtual Reality Tech to Help Separate Conjoined Twins

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three-year-old twins Bernardo and Arthur Lima were separated by a medical team in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, with the assistance of Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, becoming the oldest pair of craniopagus conjoined twins to have ever been separated.

The pair underwent seven surgeries, and the final surgery alone took 27 hours to complete, as well as the efforts of more than 100 medical professionals.

The team spent months practicing for the surgery using virtual reality projections of the twins, using both CT and MRI scans of the cranial area as a base. During the simulated surgeries, doctors from both countries wore virtual reality headsets and operated together in a “virtual reality room” for the first time.

Surgeon Noor ul Owase Jeelani described the procedure as “space-age stuff.”

“It’s just wonderful,” he said. “It’s really great to see the anatomy and do the surgery before you actually put the children at any risk. You can imagine how reassuring that is for the surgeons.” (Read more from “Doctors Use Virtual Reality Tech to Help Separate Conjoined Twins” HERE)

China Makes Another Major Move With Pelosi in Taiwan

/0 Comments/in , /by

After threats from the Chinese Communist Party and groveling from the Biden administration, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made it to Taiwan Tuesday.

During the daily briefing at the White House Monday, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stressed that nothing has changed with U.S. policy toward China and that President Biden does not support Taiwan’s independence. He also falsely claimed there had been “no drama” with Pelosi’s trip.

“The world has seen the United States government be very clear that nothing has changed — nothing has changed — about our One China policy, which is of course guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the Three Joint U.S.-PRC Communiqués, and the Six Assurances,” Kirby said. “We have said, and we have repeatedly said, that we oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side. We have said that we do not support Taiwan independence. And we have said that we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means.”

State’s Supreme Court Defies Lower Court in New Ruling on Mail-in Voting Law

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the state’s expansion of mail-in voting, in a case brought by Republican state representatives who voted for the legislation in 2019.

“We find no restriction in our Constitution on the General Assembly’s ability to create universal mail-in voting,” wrote Justice Christine Donohue in the majority opinion.

The 5-2 ruling, with the two Republican justices both voting no, means expanded vote-by-mail will likely be in place for marquee races in November for governor and U.S. Senate.

A lower court panel with a majority of Republican judges had thrown out the law in January, a ruling put on hold while the state Supreme Court reviewed an appeal by the administration of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf.

In the new decision, the justices agreed with Wolf’s argument that the lower court wrongly based its decision on court rulings that addressed older versions of the state constitution that had invalidated antiquated laws passed to expand absentee voting.

Biden Paid Taliban More Than $1 Billion Over Last Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the aftermath of Joe Biden’s report that he ordered a military drone strike that killed al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in downtown Kabul, Afghanistan, a report has emerged that Biden has paid, over the last year, about $1 billion to the Taliban.

That would be the extremist Islamist organization that took over Afghanistan when Biden last year abruptly pulled American soldiers out.

Biden left behind hundreds of Americans, thousands of America-supporting nationals who likely would be targeted by assassination squads for their work, as well as some $80 billion in American war machinery.

Now a report from Foreign Desk News explains that Biden has been sending, and plans to send more, money to the Taliban.

A columnist also pointed out that it is unlikely that an al-Qaida operative could have set up shop and be working in Kabul without the Taliban knowing that. (Read more from “Biden Paid Taliban More Than $1 Billion Over Last Year” HERE)

WATCH: Tucker Carlson Pushes to Rename Monkeypox ‘Schlong COVID’ After Woke Official Asked WHO to Change ‘Racist’ Title; Cities Declare State of Emergencies Amid Spread by Homosexuals

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. Fox News host Tucker Carlson jokingly announced plans to rename monkeypox ‘schlong COVID’ after a woke official deemed the existing moniker racist.

Carlson announced the results of a Twitter poll on his Fox News show Thursday night, saying: ‘So, monkeypox is about the coolest name ever for a disease.

‘But they are changing the name because racism or something.’

‘So, we had a vote,’ Carlson then said: ‘There was no ballot harvesting. You can trust our counting. And the new name for monkeypox is now officially – and we’re declaring it – schlong COVID. That won our audience election result with about 40% of the vote. So, let Rochelle Walensky at the CDC know.’

Walensky is the director of the CDC, and one of the most public health officials in the United States’ (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Pushes to Rename Monkeypox ‘Schlong COVID’ After Woke Official Asked WHO to Change ‘Racist’ Title” HERE)

San Francisco, New York State Declare Monkeypox Emergencies as Outbreak Grows

By Washington Post. San Francisco and the state of New York declared public health emergencies Thursday amid the growing monkeypox outbreak, the latest in escalating measures in response to the rapidly spreading virus.

The action by two of the hardest-hit areas comes after the World Health Organization declared a global emergency this past weekend and as the Biden administration weighs a national emergency declaration.

More than 40 percent of the nation’s confirmed 4,907 monkeypox cases have been reported in California and New York.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed (D) announced a local public health emergency Thursday, noting that cases of monkeypox had nearly doubled, to 261, in a week. She said the move would mobilize resources, accelerate emergency planning and allow for future spending to be reimbursed by the state and federal governments.
