Florida University Prevents White Student From Attending Mental Health Meeting Because of His Race

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Florida university has been accused of preventing a white student from attending a mental health meeting on campus last fall because of his race.

According to an exclusive report from Campus Reform, officials at the University of South Florida prevented Andrew Davis, a white male USF student, from attending one of the “Understanding Self and Others” meetings last October because it had been designated for BIPOC — or, black, indigenous, and people of color — students only.

On October 3, Davis emailed the USF Counseling Center to inquire about attending the BIPOC-only meeting since the other meetings conflicted with his schedule. “I am interested in attending a USO group meeting after completing the pre-group appointment but the only day/time that works for me is Wednesdays during the BIPOC students-only group,” Davis wrote. “I am not a BIPOC student but was wondering if I would still be able to attend?”

The Counseling Center replied that he could not. “Unfortunately, we do need to keep this space specific to BIPOC folks, as the topics that come up are going to be unique to those identities,” the reply email stated. “Hopefully, you’ll be able to catch another one either during Winter break and/or next semester.” (Read more from “Florida University Prevents White Student From Attending Mental Health Meeting Because of His Race” HERE)

Elon Musk Calls for Release of ‘QAnon Shaman’; Top Democrat on J6 Committee: We Actually Didn’t Review Any of the Surveillance Video

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Times. Twitter CEO Elon Musk called for the release of Jan. 6 inmate Jacob Chansley, who was convicted and sentenced in November 2021 to a 41-month jail sentence for one felony count of obstruction of an official proceeding.

Best known as the fur- and horn-helmeted “QAnon Shaman,” Mr. Chansley was portrayed immediately after the attack on the U.S. Capitol as a dangerous figure who burst into the Senate chamber with his bullhorn.

“Free Jacob Chansley,” Mr. Musk quote-tweeted above a tweet of a resurfaced video of Mr. Chansley outside the capitol doors on Jan. 6, 2021. Mr. Chansley is telling protesters to listen to President Trump, who had tweeted that he wanted everyone to leave the Capitol grounds peacefully.

In a subsequent tweet, Mr. Musk said, “Chansley got 4 years in prison for a non-violent, police-escorted tour!?” He noted, “Dave Chapelle was violently assaulted on stage by a guy with a knife. That guy got a $3000 fine & no prison time.”

“Everybody go home. We made our points,” Mr. Chansley told the crowd through his bullhorn. He went on to read Mr. Trump’s tweet that implored the crowd to go home. (Read more from “Elon Musk Calls for Release of ‘QAnon Shaman’” HERE)

Top Democrat on J6 Committee: We Actually Didn’t Review Any of the Surveillance Video

By The Federalist. After Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired Capitol surveillance footage this week exposing yet more falsehood from the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 and leaving Democrats and their media allies irate, the committee chair on Wednesday said the panel never actually analyzed the crucial footage.

On Monday’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Fox News aired the footage of the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, undermining the select committee’s narrative of a “deadly insurrection.” Given access to the video by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Carlson’s team reviewed over 40,000 hours of footage, which offered proof the committee manipulated audio and video to dramatize the riot for its made-for-TV hearings in an election year.

But in a Wednesday night statement to CNN, select committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., claimed the panel never analyzed the blockbuster footage Fox News aired this week.

“I’m not actually aware of any member of the committee who had access,” Thompson said. “We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video.”

Hiring investigators who “kind of went through the video” doesn’t sound like a very thorough investigation. (Read more from “Top Democrat on J6 Committee: We Actually Didn’t Review Any of the Surveillance Video” HERE)

Democrat Forgets the Pledge of Allegiance at First Public Meeting

/0 Comments/in , /by

A local Democrat forgot the Pledge of Allegiance in her first meeting as a Miami city commissioner last week.

Sabina Covo, who was elected as the Miami City District 2 commissioner on Feb. 27 in a special election, went blank-faced during the March 9 meeting after being asked to recite the pledge.

“And now, Commissioner Covo, will you lead us in the pledge of allegiance, please?” she is asked in front of the room.

“You don’t know it? Ok,” the commission’s chairwoman whispered to Covo.

After several seconds of silence, the attendees and the commission’s chairwoman came to Covo’s rescue saying the pledge instead. (Read more from “Democrat Forgets the Pledge of Allegiance at First Public Meeting” HERE)

Poll: Nearly Two-Thirds of Americans Believe FBI Has Become ‘Weaponized’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new poll by Rasmussen Reports finds that nearly two-thirds of those polled believe the FBI has been “weaponized, starting from the top in Washington.”

Rasmussen said in a press release Friday: “Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker testified to a House subcommittee last month that the FBI has become ‘politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington.’ Sixty-four percent of voters agree with that statement, including 44% who Strongly Agree that the FBI has been “politically weaponized. Thirty percent disagree, including 17% who Strongly Disagree.”

Half of those polled said they have a favorable impression of the FBI, while “45 percent now view the FBI unfavorably, including 24% who have a ‘very unfavorable’ impression of the bureau” — findings similar to what Rasmussen reported last October.

Nevertheless, Rasmussen’s head pollster Mark Mitchell said the poll’s results are “down incredibly” from 2020, when 60 percent of “likely voters” polled said they viewed the FBI favorably.

‘Ridiculous’: Dad Dresses as Julius Caesar at School Board Meeting to Protest Teacher’s Gender-Fluid Attire

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Concord, New Hampshire, father who was banned from occupying an elementary school’s property dressed up as Julius Caesar at a school board meeting on Monday to drive his claims that a public school district is “facilitating gender confusion.”

“I am Caesar. Julius Caesar of Rome, the emperor. I am also a female,” Michael Guglielmo said. “Does anybody here believe that? That I am Julius Caesar? Anybody believe that? No, of course not. It’s ridiculous.”

Guglielmo called for the suspension of both Concord School District Superintendent Kathleen Murphy and Christa McAuliffe Elementary School Principal Kristen Gallo for “facilitating gender confusion” by allowing an art teacher who identifies with the LGBTQ community to continue teaching in the elementary school.

Guglielmo has been outspoken about the art teacher, Silas Allard, who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, for his decision to wear traditionally female clothing during the school day.

He has also criticized Allard’s previous social media posts, arguing they are inappropriate for children. (Read more from “‘Ridiculous’: Dad Dresses as Julius Caesar at School Board Meeting to Protest Teacher’s Gender-Fluid Attire” HERE)

Biblical Drama Centering Around ‘Controversial’ Passage in Scripture Enjoys Crowdfunding Success

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A biblical drama hitting theaters just in time for Easter is breaking records for its successful crowdfunding model.

“His Only Son,” releasing March 31, bills itself as a “Biblically accurate” and “authentic” film based on the story of Abraham and Isaac.

“This is the first time a theatrical release has been crowdfunded in entertainment history,” distributor of the film, Angel Studios, said. . .

Director David Helling revealed that it took five years to make the film on one of the most “controversial” passages in Scripture, the one in which God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son as a burnt offering.

Angel Studios, the distributor and platform that is also behind “The Chosen” series, said the newest biblical drama received a positive response from their tens of thousands of investors, who they call “angels.” (Read more from “Biblical Drama Centering Around ‘Controversial’ Passage in Scripture Enjoys Crowdfunding Success” HERE)

Pope Francis Suggests He’ll Review Catholic Church’s Vow of Celibacy for Priests

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pope Francis has hinted that he would review the Roman Catholic Church’s rule of priestly celibacy, describing it as an individual “discipline” rather than a “contradiction” to the church.

Francis, who previously opposed the idea that celibacy was an option for leaders of the church, appeared to make a U-turn during his latest interview with Argentine outlet Infobae in celebrating the 10-year anniversary of his election as pope.

“There is no contradiction for a priest to marry. Celibacy in the western Church is a temporary prescription,” Francis, 86, remarked. “It is not eternal like priestly ordination, which is forever, whether you like it or not. Whether you leave or not is another matter, but it is forever. On the other hand, celibacy is a discipline.”

Celibacy was made a requirement in the Catholic Church around the 11th century, following centuries of tradition for priests to embrace the practice along with vows of abstinence.

Despite the rule sparking conflict within the church for nearly 1,000 years, the Vatican has continually enforced the rules, including Francis’s predecessor, Benedict XVI. (Read more from “Pope Francis Suggests He’ll Review Catholic Church’s Vow of Celibacy for Priests” HERE)

Trickle-Down Economics: Bank Customers Will Pay For SVB Bailouts Through Higher Fees, Cuts in Services

/0 Comments/in , /by

Experts are warning that US bank customers will face a financial burden from a Biden administration-approved bailout of Silicon Valley Bank — despite assurances from President Biden that taxpayers won’t be responsible for the bill.

In an extraordinary move, the feds announced plans Sunday to use the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) to cover all deposits at the doomed SVB and another failed firm, Signature Bank in New York, with “no losses” incurred by taxpayers.

President Biden insisted that taxpayers wouldn’t be burdened in his Monday speech on the crisis.

However, if the banking crisis escalates and the DIF’s reserve runs dry, taxpayers would be on the hook for the difference, experts told The Post.

Even if it does not come to that, the FDIC-insured banks that fund the DIF through quarterly payments are likely to pass along their costs to customers. (Read more from “Trickle-Down Economics: Bank Customers Will Pay For SVB Bailouts Through Higher Fees, Cuts in Services” HERE)

MMA Fighter, Special Forces Vet Tim Kennedy Hammers Colin Kaepernick for Accusing White Adoptive Parents of Racism (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has made a career post-football by bemoaning what he sees as systemic racism in America, accused his adoptive-white parents of racism, prompting MMA fighter and Special Forces vet Tim Kennedy to fire a withering response.

Interviewed on “CBS Mornings” regarding his new autobiographical graphic novel “Change the Game,” Kaepernick stated, “Growing up I was a — I think, still am a pretty introverted person. … I know my parents loved me but there were still very problematic things that I went through. I think it was important to show that, no, this can happen in your own home and how we move forward collectively while addressing the racism that is being perpetuated.”

In the graphic novel, Kaepernick writes that he wanted cornrows like his idol, Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers, prompting his white adoptive mother to ask,“He’s getting what rolls?”

“Oh, your hair’s not professional,” Kaepernick told Adriana Diaz of “CBS Mornings.” “Oh, you look like a little thug.” . . .

Kennedy took sharp aim at Kaepernick on Twitter, responding, “I bleached my hair when I was in high school and my dad told me I look like an idiot. He told me that nobody would hire me. He told me that colleges would laugh at me during interviews. I guess he was just perpetuating racism and didn’t want the best for me.”
