Democrats Quietly Reintroduce Pro-Transgender Bill to Eliminate Parental Rights, Shield Groomers

/2 Comments/in , /by

Democrats in Maine have quietly reintroduced into a different committee the same pro-transgender bill that was unanimously defeated once already. The bill would in part prevent parents from being contacted or having any say in the transing of their children by school or medical officials and would serve as a groomer protection measure.

The bill, LD227, is very similar to LD 1735, which was killed in the Judiciary Committee in January.

Republican critics of the bill are blasting the provisions as anti-family and anti-child.

The bill prohibits “interference” between parents and children if a child requests an abortion or wants to undergo “gender-affirming care,” according to Fox News.

If the latest iteration is passed, the law would give sweeping license to the transgendering of children and abortions for minors whether parents agree with the procedures or not. The bill additionally protects any minor who enters the state from outside and would cause Maine law enforcement to prevent parents from being able to influence their children’s medical care if those parents oppose so-called “gender-affirming” care.

Report: Biden Trying to ‘Collapse’ Netanyahu Government, Mid-War

/1 Comment/in , /by

U.S. President Joe Biden is reportedly attempting to force the “collapse” of the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the middle of a war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza and a potential war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Biden has been increasingly hostile to Netanyahu in his public remarks, recently saying that Netanyahu is “hurting” Israel more than he is helping it through his conduct of the war. (Netanyahu fired back, saying that Biden was “wrong.”)

Now, New York Magazine reports that the Biden Administration is actively looking for ways to force Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition, which has been remarkably unified, to fall apart, which would bring about early elections. It reported (original emphasis):

One Israeli expert frequently consulted by American officials says, “I have been asked by a serious administration figure what it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse. They were interested in the mechanics, what can we demand which will collapse his coalition.”

House Speaker Blasts Biden as an ‘Embarrassment’ for Apology to Laken Riley Murder Suspect

/3 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Mike Johnson blasted President Biden as an “embarrassment” for seemingly apologizing to Laken Riley’s accused killer instead of to the slain student’s family.

“The president is cowering to his base and showing deference to a man who deserves none. This man is an illegal immigrant who brutally murdered Laken Riley. President Biden should be apologizing to Laken’s family. What an embarrassment,” Johnson wrote on X on Sunday, responding to Biden’s interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart that aired Saturday.

At the urging of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Biden, during an off-script moment in his State of the Union address on Thursday, decried Riley’s killing by “an illegal.” The president later backtracked during his interview with Capehart, saying he should have instead used the word “undocumented” to describe Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan national charged with murdering Riley, an Augusta University nursing student who was out for a run on the University of Georgia campus last month.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed that Ibarra illegally crossed the border near El Paso, Texas, and was released into the U.S. for further processing in September 2022.

He was later arrested and released in New York City for allegedly endangering a child about a year later. (Read more from “House Speaker Blasts Biden as an ‘Embarrassment’ for Apology to Laken Riley Murder Suspect” HERE)

Democrats React to Biden’s State of the Union: See? He’s Not Mentally Handicapped, Just a Bad President!

/1 Comment/in , /by

All you need to know about Joe Biden’s hopped up State of the Union address, delivered Thursday night through the tightest squint I’ve ever seen, is that after it was over, Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler waddled over to the president to say, “Nobody’s going to talk about cognitive impairment now!”

I don’t know about you, but that’s exactly the confidence boost I want after performing a job as intellectually and physically exhausting as reading a speech. . .

There was never a doubt Biden would be able to muster enough stamina to hack and holler through a speech in front of hundreds of Democrats who were instructed by party leadership to thunderously applaud each line as though they were staring at the sexiest man alive. What was unknown was whether this would be the public appearance that goes so poorly that even Democrats are forced to plumb their inky hearts to find an ounce of patriotism to allow them to acknowledge the obvious.

Biden has repeatedly shown he can give a stink eye for an hour or so once every six months on live national television while shouting some remarks, buying Democrats and the media a little more time to pretend this fossilized dementia outpatient is sharp as a tack. Then he invariably toddles back to the White House in his orthopedic shoes, where he rests and molts, largely away from the average voter’s gaze.

Brooke Shields Reveals Being Sexualized as a Child Star: ‘Hollywood Is Predicated on Eating Its Young’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Actress Brooke Shields has lamented she was sexualized as a child star in Hollywood, being at the center of an industry that “is predicated on eating its young.”

Fox News reports the 58-year-old rose to fame at the age of 11 when she played a child prostitute in the controversial 1978 film Pretty Baby. Shields was required to appear in multiple nude scenes. . .

The Blue Lagoon star reflected on those roles and other requirements Friday as she appeared alongside Meghan Markle and Katie Couric on the SXSW panel, “Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen.” . . .

“I was at the center of it,” Shields said. “And I was promoting it and I was doing it.” She continued:

And I was lucky because I was surrounded by a very strong mom. I never did move to Hollywood. I always went to regular school.

So I had this sort of community around me that was protecting me, buoying me. And so I did not become the type of statistic that Hollywood created.

Hollywood is predicated on eating its young.

U.S. Flies Forces in to Beef up Security at Embassy in Haiti and Evacuate Personnel

/1 Comment/in , /by

The U.S. military said Sunday that it had flown forces in to beef up security at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti and allow nonessential personnel to leave.

The aircraft flew to the embassy compound, the U.S. Southern Command said, meaning that the effort involved helicopters. It was careful to point out that “no Haitians were on board the military aircraft.” That seemed aimed at quashing any speculation that senior government officials might be leaving as the gang attacks in Haiti worsen.

The neighborhood around the embassy in the capital, Port-au-Prince, is largely controlled by gangs.

“This airlift of personnel into and out of the Embassy is consistent with our standard practice for Embassy security augmentation worldwide, and no Haitians were on board the military aircraft,” according to the Southcom statement.

Robert De Niro Panics: If Trump Wins, ‘He’ll Come Looking for Me’ (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Hollywood star Robert De Niro is panicking at the prospect of former President Donald Trump winning in November and reclaiming the White House, predicting that Trump “will come looking for me.”

Robert De Niro voiced his paranoid fantasy during a Friday appearance on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher.

“If he wins the election, you won’t be on the show anymore. He’ll come looking for me. There’ll be things that happen that none of us can imagine,” De Niro said.

De Niro said a Trump reelection in November would be a “nightmare.”

“We wanna live in a world that we want to live in and enjoy living in, or live in a nightmare? Vote for Trump and you’ll get the nightmare, vote for Biden and we’ll be back to normalcy,” he said during Friday’s show.

Investigation Reveals Gender, Abortion Services Masquerading as Health Centers in K-12 Schools

/1 Comment/in , /by

A trend of installing “health centers” in K-12 public schools has led to students being offered disturbing services without parental knowledge or consent, an investigation by a leading parental rights group has found.

Progressive education activists claim that so-called school-based health centers and other “wrap-around services” improve academic performance and behavior by giving students daily access to mental and health services on campus.

This sounds good in theory—especially with a proposed staff of nurses, doctors, and psychologists ready to aid students in need—a lack of guardrails and associations with politically motivated organizations severely compromise the sales pitch for school-based health centers, or SBHCs. . .

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and affiliated groups claim that SBHCs, often established in “low-income communities,” improve academics and behavior.

But studies done in 2020 and 2023 found that giving students an on-campus clinic and psychologist had “no statistically significant” effect on students’ academic performance. The 2023 study from Pediatric Research, the official publication of the American Pediatric Society and two related groups, found that students using SBHCs were more likely to be diagnosed with mental disorders such as gender dysphoria.

DOJ Launches Criminal Investigation Into Alaska Airlines After Door Plug Blowout

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Department of Justice (DOJ) launched a criminal investigation into Alaska Airlines after a door plug blew off of one of its planes mid-flight.

Passengers and crew from the January flight were contacted by investigators, who seek to get to the bottom of the door plug disaster that took place on one of its Boeing 737 Max aircrafts, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

The DOJ already interviewed multiple pilots and flight attendants who were on the plane when the blowout occurred, according to the outlet. The U.S. grounded hundreds of commercial 737 Max-9 planes after the left door plug of Flight 1282 broke off the aircraft mid-flight, causing the cabin to depressurize.

Several passengers aboard Flight 1282 sued Boeing for emotional and physical trauma, claiming that the company “failed to design and/or construct those aircraft safely, according to court documents. The flight was en route to Ontario, California, from Portland, Oregon when the incident occurred.

Report: Police Charge Activist Who Appeared on Joe Rogan’s Show With Murder After Allegedly Finding Head, Torso

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New York City convicted felon turned criminal justice activist was charged with murder after New York City police found body parts in the victim’s apartment in the Bronx, the New York Post reported.

Sheldon Johnson, 48, allegedly murdered Collin Small, 44, in Small’s apartment Tuesday evening, according to the report. Johnson reportedly was seen on surveillance video footage glancing furtively around before entering the apartment in a dark coat over a yellow hoodie and bearing a mop and a bag of cleaning agents.

Neighbors told the New York Post that just before hearing two shots fired, they heard Small screaming, “Please don’t! I have a family!” Johnson was also reportedly seen leaving in Small’s car and returning in an Uber while sporting a blond wig.

Johnson also reportedly entered the apartment with a blue bin in tow, which he allegedly did not remove from the apartment. His alleged disguises aroused the building superintendent’s suspicion. “He is coming in, he is dressing differently, changing his character. I said, ‘That’s not normal, he is hiding something,’” the building superintendent told the New York Post, according to the report.

Investigators responding to the shots initially did not apprehend Johnson. (Read more from “Report: Police Charge Activist Who Appeared on Joe Rogan’s Show With Murder After Allegedly Finding Head, Torso” HERE)
