Clay Travis Calls Out ‘Disrespectful’ Mike Pence During Tense Interview When Asked About Pardoning Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Conservative radio host Clay Travis called former Vice President Mike Pence “pretty disrespectful” to his old boss in a tense interview Wednesday about whether the Republican presidential candidate would pardon Donald Trump if elected president.

Travis, who along with co-host Buck Sexton has said the federal prosecution of Trump for mishandling classified documents is politicized, challenged Pence to directly answer if he would pardon Trump as a matter of principle.

“These are serious charges,” Pence said. “I can’t defend what’s been alleged, but the president does deserve to make his defense.”

Pence said the pardoning authority is an “enormously important” power for someone in an executive position, calling the idea of a pardon premature, but the founder of “OutKick” wasn’t pleased.

“I think as a matter of principle, if you believe… Donald Trump is being prosecuted to a large extent for political-based reasons, something that has never happened in the 240-plus year history of the United States, that we are setting an awful precedent here,” Travis said.

White Starbucks Manager Wins $25M Suit Claiming She Was Fired Over Her Race After Arrest of Black Men

/0 Comments/in , /by

A white Starbucks manager who was fired after two black men were refused access to a Philadelphia store bathroom — triggering nationwide racial protests — has been awarded $25 million by a federal jury after she argued she was axed because of her race.

Shannon Phillips, a regional manager who oversaw several Starbucks locations across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, argued in a lawsuit she was cut loose by the coffee giant after viral footage of the two black men being arrested in 2018 sparked a firestorm of racial backlash.

Phillips argued she had nothing to do with the arrests but Starbucks management used her as a “scapegoat” in order to prove the company was taking action amid the controversy.

The jury’s verdict, handed down on Monday, found Phillips’ race was a factor in the company’s decision to sack her, which was a violation of her civil rights.

The saga unfolded when an employee at the Rittenhouse Square location had called 911 on April 12, 2018, after the two men, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson, were denied access to the bathroom because they weren’t paying customers — and then refused to leave.

Kevin Spacey on Sex Assault Accusations: ‘In 10 Years, It Won’t Mean Anything’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kevin Spacey is ready to get back to work — and claims employers are champing at the bit to work with him, too, amid lingering sexual assault charges brought against him in London.

“I know that there are people right now who are ready to hire me the moment I am cleared of these charges in London. The second that happens, they’re ready to move forward,” the “House of Cards” star, 63, told ZEITmagazin ahead of the June 28 start of his London trial, which is expected to last four weeks. . .

In October 2017, at the height of the #MeToo movement, “Star Trek: Discovery” star Anthony Rapp publicly claimed that Spacey made a sexual pass at him in 1986, when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26. . .

Not in the clear yet, Spacey still faces 12 sex offense charges in the UK relating to alleged events between 2001 and 2013.

He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. (Read more from “Kevin Spacey on Sex Assault Accusations: ‘In 10 Years, It Won’t Mean Anything’” HERE)

Plus-Size Influencer Rips Plane Seat Policies After Demanding Other Flyers Pay for Extra Seat

/0 Comments/in , /by

A plus-size travel influencer is demanding that airlines change their “discriminatory” policies that make larger flyers pay “twice for the same experience” — admitting that making such a change may make fares for everyone more expensive.

Jae-lynn Chaney, who made headlines in April after starting the Change.org petition “Demand for the FAA to Protect Plus-Sized Customers,” doubled down on being discriminated against while flying due to her size.

“People with smaller bodies get to pay one fare to get to their destination,” Chaney, who has to buy an extra seat while flying, told CNN Travel.

“We have to pay two fares, even though we’re getting the same experience. If anything, our experiences are a little bit more challenging.”

While Chaney has held firm in her demands, in April she admitted that if her petition’s demands were met, ticket prices for all customers would likely increase due to demand. (Read more from “Plus-Size Influencer Rips Plane Seat Policies After Demanding Other Flyers Pay for Extra Seat” HERE)

Pentagon Created Pride Coloring Book for Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Defense (DOD) created a Pride-themed coloring book for military kids amid a cross-military service push to celebrate Pride month.

DOD announced the theme for Pride month in 2023 was “Equality Without Exception — Pride In All Who Serve,” and planned to host activities through various sub-agencies, including parades and family story hours, to observe Pride month. The activity booklet is geared toward younger audiences, according to DOD’s Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI), which is noted on the final page as having published the book, and was promoted to children by other DOD entities, the Daily Caller News Foundation found.

The coloring book, dated in June, appears to be among various training and awareness materials the Pentagon created to aid Pride observances, which are featured on the dedicated DEOMI webpage.

“The Activity Book is designed to share with your younger event attendees but can be enjoyed by all ages. It showcases coloring pages and encourages learning through games and activities,” DEOMI wrote. It did not provide a link to the book, so it couldn’t be determined with 100% certainty that DEOMI was referring to the coloring book.

However, the Ramstein and Vogelweh libraries serving a large American military community in Germany, encouraged kids to “Download and complete the DoD Children’s Pride Activity Booklet,” linking to the coloring book with the DEOMI press logo, and instructions to visit the website for more information.

WATCH: City Bans LGBTQ Pride Flag, Other Political Flags From Property

/0 Comments/in , /by

The all-Muslim city council of Hamtramck, Michigan, voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve a resolution that would ban the LGBTQ+ Pride flag from being flown on the city’s public property.

The resolution, proposed by Mayor Pro-Tem Muhammad Hassan, also bars any religious, ethnic, racial, political, or sexual orientation group flags from being flown on city property and only allows the American flag to be flown, along with state and city flags, other national flags, and the Prisoner of War flag, according to Click on Detroit.

The resolution passed “after three hours of public comments and months of intense debate,” the Detroit Free Press reported.

“Hassan and other members of the council said the LGBTQ+ community and others are welcome in Hamtramck but that they need to respect religious freedom,” according to the report. “Some proponents of the resolution said the Pride flag clashes with their faith. Several speakers from Dearborn who were leaders in protests last year against LGBTQ books spoke at the Hamtramck meeting, saying American soldiers sacrificed for the U.S. flag, not the Pride flag.”

City Councilman Nayeem Choudhury said LGBTQ+ people will not be discriminated against in the city but should also respect the religious liberty of the city’s Muslim community. (Read more from “WATCH: City Bans LGBTQ Pride Flag, Other Political Flags From Property” HERE)

Thousands of Schools Urge or Instruct Teachers to Hide Students’ Gender Identity From Parents: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thousands of schools across the country provide teachers and staff with guidelines that mandate or urge them to keep students’ gender identity a secret from parents, a parental rights organization alleges.

Parents Defending Education (PDE) maintains a state-by-state list of schools and school districts that have policies allowing or requiring staff to hide students’ gender identities.

The organization’s website includes a list of school districts by state it says “have Transgender/Gender Nonconforming Policies that openly state that district personnel can or should keep a student’s transgender status hidden from parents.”

While the list is not all-inclusive, the organization found 1,000 school districts and 17,612 total schools have implemented such policies. Altogether, 10,215,454 students attend those schools. “This list is not comprehensive; if you are aware of a district policy that is not on the list, please notify PDE,” the site requests.

“We can barely keep up with our tracker because the numbers are so overwhelming, as parents constantly send us their schools’ policies to add to the list,” Director of Outreach Erika Sanzi remarked in a statement to the Daily Caller. “These policies that deliberately deceive parents are pervasive and we must eradicate them.” (Read more from “Thousands of Schools Urge or Instruct Teachers to Hide Students’ Gender Identity From Parents: Report” HERE)

California State Senator Warns Parents to ‘Flee’ State After ‘Gender-Affirmation’ Bill Advances

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Republican California lawmaker warned families to escape from the Golden State after legislators advanced a bill on Tuesday that would accuse parents of child abuse if they refuse to “affirm” their children’s so-called gender identity.

Senator Scott Wilk (R-Antelope Valley) sounded the alarm during a hearing late Tuesday night when the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 8-1 to advance Assembly Bill 957, which rewrites much of the state’s family law and classifies “a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.”

“In the past, when we’ve had these discussions, and I’ve seen parental rights atrophy, I’ve encouraged people to keep fighting,” Wilk said. “I’ve changed my mind on that — if you love your children, you need to flee California. You need to flee.”

The bill amends Section 3011 of the Family Code, which deals with child custody disputes, and requires that a court determining the “best interests” of the child must consider the affirmation of a so-called transgender identity. If a parent were to deny the child’s “gender identity,” it would be a violation of the child’s health, safety, and welfare — equivalent to child abuse.

Because the bill changes the definition of what constitutes the “health, safety, and welfare” of a child, any organization interacting with children — including schools, churches, and hospitals — would be required to affirm gender transitions in minors.

Penn State Professor Accused of Performing Sexual Acts With His Dog: ‘I Do It to Blow off Steam’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A longtime and award-winning Penn State professor allegedly performed sexual acts with his dog in sickening displays that were captured on a state forest trail camera.

Themis Matsoukas, 64, was charged Tuesday after he was allegedly caught earlier this year naked from the waist down — except for socks and shoes — committing the perverted sex acts with his collie near bathrooms at Rothrock State Forest in Pennsylvania, according to reports.

Matsoukas, who is on leave from the university, was identified through a North Face backpack he was carrying from an incident in April and also May, according to a criminal complaint cited by the Centre Daily Times.

He allegedly tried to record himself performing the lewd acts with an electronic tablet, according to the trail cam footage, Fox 43 reported.

After Matsoukas was identified as the possible suspect, rangers from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources searched his home earlier this month and he went into a panic, the complaint reportedly states.

Joe Biden’s Deviant ‘Pride’ Exposed as White House Turned Into Strip Joint for Transgender TikTok Influencers

/0 Comments/in , /by

So much for restoring “decency” and normalcy to the White House.

That was the president’s campaign promise.

But nobody should be surprised that the father of Hunter Biden would sully the White House by turning it into a strip joint for transgender TikTok influencers.

Images of Rose Montoya, a biological man with a penis and breast implants, shaking hands with the president on the South Lawn, right before flashing those fake boobs, sent a message to the world that this is not a serious administration.

Montoya’s TikTok video in front of the White House alongside bearded biological females showing off their mastectomy scars as the president waxed lyrical about “transgender children” embarrasses America.
