China Posed as Conservatives and Liberals to Bash U.S. Politicians Online, Meta Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Meta said Tuesday that it took down a China-based influence operation featuring fake accounts impersonating conservatives criticizing President Biden and liberals ripping Republicans in states like Florida, Texas and California.

The influence operation was relatively small in size and received low engagement online, but could be a harbinger of activity to come as the U.S. midterm elections approach and foreign actors aim to inflame tensions online.

The China-based actors used 81 Facebook accounts, and two Instagram accounts, and targeted an American audience, Chinese- and French-speaking audiences, and people in the Czech Republic.

Near the end of this past March, Meta’s report said the influence network created a handful of accounts that posted around dozens of times over a few weeks before going silent in April.

“Accounts posed as conservative Americans and posted memes in English that accused President Biden and other politicians — both Democrats and Republicans, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Climate Envoy John Kerry and Senator Mitt Romney — of corruption,” the report said.

Reason for Last Jan. 6 Panel Hearing Being Postponed Revealed

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The House committee investigating the events that took place on Jan. 6 has reportedly postponed its hearing that was scheduled to take place on Wednesday afternoon, the committee announced Tuesday.

Wednesday’s hearing was set to be the committee’s ninth public hearing and possibly the last before lawmakers release their final report later this year. The postponement was made due to Hurricane Ian, which is expected to make landfall in Florida early Wednesday morning.

“In light of Hurricane Ian bearing down on parts of Florida, we have decided to postpone tomorrow’s proceedings,” Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) said in a statement. “We’re praying for the safety of all those in the storm’s path. The Select Committee’s investigation goes forward and we will soon announce a date for the postponed proceedings.”

One of the committee members, Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), represents a district that is in the path of the hurricane. Murphy represents Florida’s 7th Congressional District, which covers much of the north-central part of the state between Orlando and Daytona Beach.

Nationwide School Club Encourages Teen Girls to Crush Their Breasts

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Gender and Sexuality Alliance” (GSA) clubs at public and private schools nationwide encourage teen girls with gender dysphoria to “bind” their breasts, according to GSA resources reviewed by the Daily Caller.

Schools in Minnesota, Maryland, California, Illinois and Massachusetts are among the hundreds of schools that offer GSA clubs that promote “chest binding” — the practice of crushing healthy breast tissue — to teenage girls. Some schools, including Waltham High School in Massachusetts, raise money to purchase chest binders for teen girls who cannot afford them.

“Need a chest binder, but can’t buy one? The GSA will raise money and order one for you,” a GSA club flier reads.

The GSA club at Chaska High School in Minnesota includes links to a pros and cons list for different types of chest binders. The guidelines also note that teens who don’t have access to binders can wear two sports bras to compress their breasts.

Teen Charged With Murder Over Fentanyl Overdose Death

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California teenager has been charged with murder for allegedly dealing fentanyl drugs to another teen which led to an overdose fatality.

Eighteen-year-old Alfred Urrea issued a non-guilty plea and is being held on a $1 million bail with a pre-preliminary hearing set for Tuesday. Adrian Alloway, another 18 year old, passed away from a fentanyl overdose at the end of August.

This is the second time San Bernardino County authorities have brought murder charges due to a fentanyl poisoning.

“In cases such as this, where murder is alleged, we believe we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt the dealer knowingly understood the dangers of fentanyl, and still chose profits over human life when supplying drugs to the victim,” District Attorney Jason Anderson said.

Fentanyl is a growing problem, especially among young people across the country. (Read more from “Teen Charged With Murder Over Fentanyl Overdose Death” HERE)

WATCH: UFC Boss Dana White Praises Donald Trump: ‘I Love Him’

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a Monday visit with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, UFC President Dana White gushed over his relationship with former President Donald Trump.

“I love him and appreciate that,” White explained, according to Mediaite. “Hopefully I’ve built a business over the last 22 years, that no matter who comes and goes we’ll last and continue to grow.”

“He’s a very very good friend of mine,” White continued. “Donald Trump has been such a good friend to me since the day I met him. When we bought this company, this company had such a bad stigma attached to it within the sport that we could not get into venues. Venues didn’t want us.”

White noted that the ex-president even offered one of his properties to White to help keep his fight empire running during the pandemic.

“He’s a sports guy, he loves sports. He offered us to come and do the event at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. We did two events with him. He showed up for the first fight; stayed for the last fight,” White said. (Read more from “WATCH: UFC Boss Dana White Praises Donald Trump: ‘I Love Him’” HERE)

US Military Base Schools Indoctrinating Children in Left-Wing Ideology: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. troops serving overseas may find that government schools are indoctrinating their children and teaching them to keep secrets from their parents.

According to a report from the Claremont Institute, classes from the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) teach children radical activism, gender ideology, and hiding gender questions from families.

The lesson plans aren’t about teachers helping children learn the basics; instead, they’re about teachers helping children hide facts from their parents.

“Maybe that student is not ‘out’ to other students in their gender identity,” said seventh-grade humanities teacher Genevieve Chavez in a video provided to Claremont by a whistleblower. “They may be out at school; but they may not be out at home.”

The video was part of a 2021 summit talk titled “Ally 101—Creating an Inclusive Classroom for LGBTQ+ Students.” (Read more from “US Military Base Schools Indoctrinating Children in Left-Wing Ideology: Report” HERE)

Jen Psaki Said Biden Admin Tried to Change Focus Away From Dobbs Decision-Leaker, Calls Reporting on Leak ‘Historic’ and ‘Amazing’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jen Psaki revealed that the Biden administration tried to shift the focus away from who leaked the consequential Dobbs draft decision and called the reporting on the leak “historic” and “amazing.”

Psaki was interviewed as a part of the Texas Tribune Festival when she made the comments while speaking to journalist Emily Ramshaw.

“I was there the night that the story broke in Politico, and it was one of my last weeks in the White House,” said Psaki.

“But I remember the story breaking late at night and we had to figure out what, if anything, we were going to say that night because it wasn’t the confirmed ruling, it was a leaked story that of course turned out to be entirely accurate,” she recalled.

“And I think the reporting in that case was amazing, historic in many ways,” Psaki said. (Read more from “Jen Psaki Said Biden Admin Tried to Change Focus Away From Dobbs Decision-Leaker, Calls Reporting on Leak ‘Historic’ and ‘Amazing'” HERE)

Scary: ‘Chemical Castration’ and ‘Gender Affirming’ Care Can Be Synonymous, According to Tranny Health Org

/0 Comments/in , /by

The leading transgender health association suggested at a conference last week that “chemical castration” and “gender-affirming” care can be synonymous in the context of eunuchs.

In a live-streamed session on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s new controversial “Eunuch” chapter, an endocrinologist described the prescription of GnRH analogues, or puberty blockers, and hormones — when given to “eunuch” patients — as “chemical castration.” When a child takes puberty blockers at the first signs of puberty and moves on to cross-sex hormones, they will be sterilized. Still, advocates have rejected the process being described as “chemical castration,” instead opting for the euphemism “gender-affirming care.”

“So before getting castrated physically, you can actually do a chemical castration, kind of, as a trial,” said Dr. Michael Irwig, an endocrinologist who contributed to the chapter. He said he’s treated two people who identify as eunuchs.

The comments came amid the debut of new Standards of Care guidelines, which included the unprecedented addition of a chapter that seeks to include “eunuch” under the “transgender umbrella.” The inclusion of eunuchs may make it easier for candidates to access castration to “affirm” their “gender identity.”

Irwig said a chemical cocktail of hormones and blockers can be used to chemically castrate eunuchs. He did not explicitly say whether dosages for the gender-affirming care of “eunuchs” would be the same as for the treatment of gender dysphoric minors.

State Law Banning Pornography in Public Schools Goes Into Effect

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey approved Republican Rep. Jake Hoffman’s proposed House Bill 2495 on July 6. It went into effect this past weekend, meaning public schools in the state can no longer subject students to pornography.

While some opponents of the bill suggested that by preventing children from engaging with works depicting sodomy, masturbation, oral sex, and other sex acts, Arizona Republicans have effectively censored “LGBTQ+ stories,” Hoffman underlined that his objective, now realized, was the protection of “kids from sexually explicit material.” . . .

The law prohibits children’s use of or referral to textual, visual, or audio materials that contain graphic depictions — literal or simulated — of sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or sexual acts (e.g., normal sex, sodomy, and masturbation).

Notwithstanding suggestions from early critics of the bill that kids would be precluded from reading books like “The Canterbury Tales,” the bill states that materials may be exempted if they possess serious educational value for minors or possess serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. Exempted material can be used and referenced on the condition that the school obtains parental consent in advance.

In the event that exempted material is the subject of an assignment or curricular learning and parental consent is not secured, an alternative assignment not containing explicit material must be provided. (Read more from “State Law Banning Pornography in Public Schools Goes Into Effect” HERE)

DeSantis Fires Back at Biden After No Contact Before Hurricane Hits: ‘We Don’t Have Time for Pettiness’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) slammed President Joe Biden during a press conference Tuesday as the state prepares to be hit by a category 3 hurricane.

The remarks from DeSantis come after Biden held separate calls earlier in the day with Mayor Jane Castor of Tampa, Mayor Ken Welch of St. Petersburg, and Mayor Frank Hibbard of Clearwater. An official White House readout of the calls made no mention of the president speaking with DeSantis.

A reporter asked the governor how he would characterize his conversations with Biden as the hurricane prepares to make landfall.

“So I have not personally spoken with the president, but FEMA has approved our pre-landfall request,” DeSantis said.

“We feel like we have a good relationship with FEMA,” he continued. “You know, I’m happy to brief the president if he’s interested in hearing what we’re doing in Florida, you know, my view on all this is like you got people’s lives at stake, you got their property at stake, and we don’t have time for pettiness. We got to work together to make sure we’re doing the best job for them.”
