Over 1,000 School Districts Allow Teachers to Hide Transgender Status of Students From Their Guardians, Parents’ Group Claims

/1 Comment/in , /by

Parents’ rights group Parents Defending Education released a list of what it says are over 1,000 school districts where teachers can keep information regarding a child’s gender confusion hidden from parents.

The list, which the group says is not comprehensive, details 1,044 school districts in the United States that have “Transgender/Gender Nonconforming Policies that openly state that district personnel can or should keep a student’s transgender status hidden from parents.”

The districts total 18,331 schools teaching a whopping 10.7 million students.

“We are still getting tips that are pouring in every day,” the group’s president, Nicole Neily, told Just the News. “We actually released this number initially in March, and then we identified about 200 counties. … This number keeps growing across the country,” she explained.

According to Neily, the ideas are being pushed forward by state school board associations with association with gender activist groups. (Read more from “Over 1,000 School Districts Allow Teachers to Hide Transgender Status of Students From Their Guardians, Parents’ Group Claims” HERE)

‘Whiplash,’ ‘Ideological Hatred,’ ‘Genuine Hate’: Energy Industry Confronts Challenge of Producing When Biden Despises Them

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration’s “genuine hate” for fossil fuel producers and other traditional energy companies was at the forefront of a two-day-long summit on energy security here this week featuring top industry and business leaders and political voices from around the country.

Two different GOP presidential candidates—former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, both of whom will appear on the debate stage on Wednesday evening in southern California—spoke Monday here at the Hamm Institute for American Energy’s inaugural American Energy Security Summit. The summit, organized by billionaire founder and executive chairman of Continental Resources Harold Hamm, was a first-of-its-kind event bringing together top political leaders with top business and industry leaders to force a discussion on the future of American energy production.

Haley, in her remarks to the group, referred to a trip she took earlier in the campaign to visit workers on an offshore oil rig where she laid out her energy vision. She further expanded on it here, arguing that “every drop of American energy we produce is a godsend to American families” and energy “makes everything more affordable.”

“Unlike energy, common sense is in short supply these days,” Haley told the hundreds gathered on Monday. “In fact, in Joe Biden, we have a president who seems to genuinely hate American energy. We saw that fact on full display this week. Joe Biden made almost half the national petroleum reserve off limits to oil exploration. Americans are going to pay higher prices for this foolishness and get less energy. We’re going to get more dependent on foreign countries. That’s been consistent the past two years. More suffering at home and less security abroad. It’s the inevitable result of virtually every energy decision Joe Biden has made. He’s crushing producers under an avalanche of mandates. He’s blocked safe new drilling off our coasts. He canceled the Keystone pipeline. When the president talks, he demonizes companies like yours while insulting and ignoring the workers I met.” (Read more from “‘Whiplash,’ ‘Ideological Hatred,’ ‘Genuine Hate’: Energy Industry Confronts Challenge of Producing When Biden Despises Them” HERE)

MAGA Republicans Rip Apart Senate Spending Bill: ‘Disgraceful’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Abipartisan funding bill meant to avert a looming government shutdown was put forward in the Senate on Tuesday and swiftly drew the ire of various MAGA Republicans.

The United States government is barreling towards a shutdown at the end of the month as the deadline approaches without a firm funding deal in sight. The process of approving a new government spending bill has been held up considerably by the further-right MAGA-aligned members of the House GOP, who have refused to support bills that continue to provide funding for things like aid to Ukraine and the investigation into Donald Trump by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

On Tuesday, a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the U.S. government was agreed upon in the Senate, with support from both Democrats and Republicans in the chamber. The resolution would keep the government funded through a new deadline of November 17 and would notably provide roughly $6 billion in funding for aid to Ukraine, as well as another $6 billion for disaster relief. This CR has been described as a temporary solution to buy Congress more time to negotiate on a new years-long funding agreement and is slated for a test vote late on Thursday.

Major Brands Pull Ads From Rumble After Platform Refuses to Censor Russell Brand Over Sex Assault Allegations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Major brands have pulled ads from Rumble, following the video platform’s refusal to censor or demonetize actor and podcast host Russell Brand over decade-old sexual assault allegations published this month in the U.K. media.

Notably, YouTube, to much criticism, has banned Brand from monetization on all of his accounts over the allegations, though Brand has no charges against him and has strongly denied ever engaging in nonconsensual sex. Rumble refused to follow suit.

According to News Movement, Burger King is one of the brands that has paused advertisements on Brand’s Rumble channel. “Burger King has paused all advertising on the channel while investigations into the allegations are ongoing,” the company said.

Meal-kit company HelloFresh has pulled ads from all of Rumble, it seems, telling News Movement when it reached out about the allegations, “Thanks for pointing this out to us. We have manually removed our ads from Rumble.” (Read more from “Major Brands Pull Ads From Rumble After Platform Refuses to Censor Russell Brand Over Sex Assault Allegations” HERE)

U.S. Enemies and Adversaries Reveal Intentions at United Nations General Assembly

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly opened this month with dictators and elected leaders alike — the U.N. does not prefer one or the other — descending upon New York City to deliver mind-numbing speeches replete with misinformation and disinformation.

It’s called the “General Debate,” but if you see the UNGA (pronounced un-gah) as a great deliberative body, I suggest you consult a competent ophthalmologist.

Those concerned about America’s national security, however, can find morsels of significance in the word salads served up by our adversaries and enemies. (The difference between adversaries and enemies? The former intend to defeat us. The latter intend to destroy us.)

Russian President Vladimir Putin did not attend this year’s UNGA. He’s busy waging a war of conquest and subjugation against Ukraine, Russia’s neighbor and a fellow U.N. member.

Speaking for Mr. Putin was his longtime and loyal foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, who complained about Ukrainians’ stubborn refusal to submit. In the best tradition of Soviet propagandists, he characterized their defense of their independence, homeland and families as “the extermination of Russians.” He scolded “Western countries” that “support this.” (Read more from “U.S. Enemies and Adversaries Reveal Intentions at United Nations General Assembly” HERE)

WATCH: Joe Biden Nearly Tumbles While Exiting Air Force One — Just Hours After His Plans to Avoid Falls Were Revealed

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden, 80, slipped and nearly tumbled down a 14-step staircase while exiting Air Force One on Tuesday — just hours after it was revealed that the commander in chief is working with a physical therapist and using shorter stairs to avoid further trip-ups.

The near-miss occurred moments after Biden touched down at the Detroit Metro Airport, where he was greeted by United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain, Michigan Lt. Gov. Garland Gilchrist and US Reps. Debbie Dingell, Rashida Tlaib and Shri Thanedar, all Michigan Democrats, the clip shared by radio reporter Alex McLennon shows.

Despite the hair-raising moment, Biden recovered his footing and appeared unbothered by the gaffe.

Footage of the incident, however, quickly caught fire on social media — which was already smoldering from earlier reports that Biden has been doing balancing exercises in order to avoid more public spills as his team frets over polls showing that three-quarters of Americans think he is too old for a second term.

‘He’ll Do It Again’: Hillary Clinton Warns of 2024 Russian Election Interference

/0 Comments/in , /by

Failed former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has warned that Russia could allegedly interfere with the U.S. elections in 2024.

Speaking with former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Hillary Clinton said that Russian President Vladimir Putin could indeed interfere again.

“He has indeed interfered in our elections in the past,” Psaki began on her MSNBC show Inside With Jen Psaki. “It’s not something, as you experienced firsthand, is not something we talk about a lot. Do you fear that that is something that could be happening for 2024, do you think we should be talking about it more?”

Clinton said that she had “no doubt” that Putin interfered in the previous 2016 election wherein she lost to former President Donald Trump.

Canadian House Speaker Resigns Over Celebrating Nazi Soldier

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Speaker of the House of Commons in the Canadian parliament resigned on Tuesday after taking responsibility for celebrating a 98-year-old Ukrainian who served in a Nazi-controlled unit in World War II during a reception for President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Announcing his resignation as speaker, Liberal MP Anthony Rota said per public broadcaster CBC: “I have acted as your humble servant, carrying out the important responsibilities of this position to the very best of my abilities. The work of this House is above any of us. Therefore, I must step down as your Speaker,” Rota said at 2 p.m. ahead of Tuesday’s question period.

“I reiterate my profound regret for my error in recognizing an individual in the House.”

The resignation came hours after Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government called on him to step down on Tuesday morning. Rota has attempted to take the blame for inviting Waffen SS soldier Yaroslav Hunka to the Parliament, where he was given a resounding round of applause and a standing ovation from the entire house, including from Prime Minister Trudeau and President Zelensky.

However, others, including Conservative opposition party leader Pierre Poilievre said that Trudeau should accept part of the blame for the scandal, arguing that it is his government’s responsibility to vet all guests of the parliament for a state visit such as Zelensky’s last week.

Hunter Biden Sues Rudy Giuliani Over Laptop

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani alleging the former President Trump lawyer violated his privacy rights by illegally disseminating content from Biden’s infamous laptop.

The complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California states Giuliani is “primarily responsible” for the “total annihilation” of Biden’s digital privacy. It also names Robert Costello, a former federal prosecutor who previously represented Giuliani, as a defendant, Fox News has confirmed.

“For the past many months and even years, Defendants have dedicated an extraordinary amount of time and energy toward looking for, hacking into, tampering with, manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over data that they were given that was taken or stolen from Plaintiff’s devices or storage platforms, including what Defendants claim to have obtained from Plaintiff’s alleged ‘laptop’ computer,” Biden’s attorneys wrote in the complaint, claiming that the data was not even from a “laptop,” but from an “external drive.”

The contents of this “external drive” include pictures, videos, emails and other data that since their initial publication by the New York Post in 2020, have placed Biden in legal jeopardy and caused political problems for his father, President Biden.

Russia Pleads for Biden to Invite Putin to APEC Summit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Biden will host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in November, an annual gathering of Indo-Pacific leaders that could include a much-anticipated meeting between the U.S. leader and Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping. Yet Putin appears to be on the receiving end of a maddening snub, as Biden’s team is poised to exclude foreign officials who have been slapped with sanctions, even a Kremlin chief who styles himself an heir to Czar Peter the Great.

“The U.S. has informed us through bilateral channels that this year they are not going to invite a number of leaders because of the sanctions restrictions that apply to them,” Berdyyev complained.

Putin has been choosy about what international events he attends in recent months. He was forced to make only a virtual appearance at the BRICS summit in South Africa because the host nation is treaty-bound to arrest him on behalf of the International Criminal Court if he enters in the country. Putin skipped the subsequent G20 summit in India, but he is expected to travel to China next month.

Biden’s stiff-arming of Putin coincides with another effort by Russian officials to come in from the diplomatic cold. Russian envoys are launching a campaign to win a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council, a race decided by a vote of the U.N. General Assembly, even as U.N. officials continue to document allegations of widespread acts of torture and rape perpetrated by invading Russian forces in Ukraine.
