Gay Dad’s Disturbing Diary Illuminates Dysfunctions Of Buying Babies

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York Magazine recently published the sex diary of a 42-year-old gay dad living outside Boston. He and his “husband,” Gavin, have an infant daughter, Sophie, who was presumably born through paid surrogacy.

At 10 a.m., Dad opens Sniffies, a location-based app used primarily by men seeking anonymous sex.

Over the next seven days, he propositions a married man who initially refuses to show his face. He has sex with that stranger on his infant daughter’s leaf-shaped play mat while her stuffed giraffe knocks against his head. He sends Gavin a photo of himself in a jockstrap, hoping he will leave work early. He ends the week having sex with a police officer at a party up against a washing machine.

One infant. Two gay men. No mother. Welcome to the post-Obergefell family.

From the adult’s side, the diary is supposed to read as naughty, funny, and liberated. From Sophie’s perspective, this isn’t a cheeky account about sexual liberation. It’s a record of her fundamental biological and developmental needs being subordinated to a sex-crazed man.

Rep. Thomas Massie Forcing Vote on Pete Hegseth’s Impeachment

/0 Comments/in , /by

Outgoing Republican Rep. Thomas Massie seized the House floor for more than an hour Tuesday afternoon, launching a long-shot effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stemming from his controversial administration over the Pentagon, including the war in Iran.

After sending a news release announcing his intent to impeach Hegseth, Massie quickly appeared on the floor where he stood for more than 67 minutes reading the sweeping 34-page resolution with eight articles of impeachment aloud.

“Secretary Hegseth has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as Secretary of Defense and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States of America,” Massie read from the resolution, contending that Hegseth will “remain a threat to civilians and the laws of war, the integrity of United States diplomacy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with his duties and the rule of law.”

“Peter Brian Hegseth thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States,” the resolution states. . .

“Secretary Hegseth has been a transformative leader for the Department of War,” Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson said in the statement, later adding that the “entire Department is unified behind the Secretary’s vision and will continue working to put our warfighters and America first.” (Read more from “Rep.

FBI Uncovers Secret Snapchat Account Trump’s Would-Be Assassin Tried to Hide

/0 Comments/in , /by

Newly released FBI files turned over to the Senate reveal a Snapchat account tied to Thomas Crooks, the man who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump.

The federal documents turned over to the Senate, first reported by the New York Post, revealed that FBI agents located a Snapchat account belonging to Crooks with the username “tom_crooks19.”

Crooks killed one person and seriously injured two others during his attempt to assassinate Trump July 13, 2024.

According to the FBI documents, an Amazon account was also located. Crooks also had an account with Mailfence, an encrypted email service, which the documents say he logged into multiple times between April 15, 2024, and July 8, 2024. He also used a Gmail account.

Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jason Pack told Fox News Digital the Snapchat account may hold a “treasure trove” of evidence.

“When you snap and that picture goes away that everything is gone, and that’s not true. When I’ve served search warrants, there’s been a treasure trove of information that has come back,” Pack said. “It’s not like some people think when you’ve snapped, and then it goes away, it’s totally gone. That’s not entirely the case.” (Read more from “FBI Uncovers Secret Snapchat Account Trump’s Would-Be Assassin Tried to Hide” HERE)

Joe Rogan Has ‘Crazy Hope’ that AI Could Take Over Government to Prevent Military Conflict

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Rogan said Tuesday that he hopes artificial intelligence could eventually take over government and foreign-policy functions, including decisions involving military conflict, as he believes AI could help prevent wars that human leaders have failed to stop.

Rogan, speaking with theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli during a conversation on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” acknowledged that handing government functions to artificial intelligence could alarm people but described it as a possible way to remove human decision-making from international conflicts.

“It sounds like a crazy hope, but my hope is that as AI becomes more and more omnipresent, as we start farming off various tasks to it, one of the things that we’re going to farm off is government,” Rogan said.

“One of the things we’re going to farm off is how we interact with other countries. I know that’s terrifying to people, but just think of the disastrous effects that we’ve had so far with humans doing it.”

Republican National Committee National Committeewoman for Georgia and Humans First Chairwoman Amy Kremer, who has pushed for greater safeguards around AI while opposing a blanket halt to American development of the technology, rejected Rogan’s proposal.

Border Patrol Agents Make Shocking Discovery as Dozens of Illegal Migrants Stuffed in Back of Truck

/1 Comment/in , /by

Border Patrol agents made a startling discovery in the scorching California desert after finding 31 migrants allegedly crammed into the back of a modified utility truck in a suspected human-smuggling operation.

The packed vehicle was discovered near Ocotillo, a tiny Imperial County community near the US-Mexico border, according to the US Border Patrol’s El Centro Sector.

“Smugglers packed 31 illegal aliens like cargo into a modified utility truck and hauled them through dangerous desert heat near Ocotillo, California,” the agency said.

But the suspected driver apparently wasn’t sticking around to explain.

Border Patrol said the driver ditched the vehicle and fled across the border into Mexico as agents took the group into custody.

However, his getaway didn’t last long. Mexican law enforcement subsequently arrested the suspected smuggler. (Read more from “Border Patrol Agents Make Shocking Discovery as Dozens of Illegal Migrants Stuffed in Back of Truck” HERE)

Common Drug Millions Already Take Could Slash Dementia Chances, Study Suggests

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Commonly used osteoporosis drugs were linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia in a large study of older adults.

Among a group of 121,492 adults age 60 or older, the use of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (NBP) was associated with a 16% lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias compared to those who did not take osteoporosis medications.

The risk was 24% less compared to people taking other types of osteoporosis medications.

A nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate is a type of medication used to slow bone loss and reduce fracture risk, mainly in people with osteoporosis. Some common types include alendronate, ibandronate, risedronate and zoledronate.

Osteoporosis occurs when the bones become weaker and more likely to break due to a loss of bone mass, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). The condition is especially common among older adults. (Read more from “Common Drug Millions Already Take Could Slash Dementia Chances, Study Suggests” HERE)

Fed Hikes Interest Rates for First Time in Three Years in Bid to Tamp Down Inflation

/2 Comments/in , /by

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday hiked rates for the first time in three years, an effort to tamp down inflation that drew a muted rebuke from President Trump as the midterms approach.

In a unanimous vote, the Fed raised rates by a quarter point to the 3.75% to 4% range – the first move in rates under Warsh, whom Trump hand-picked after lambasting predecessor Jerome Powell for years for not lowering interest rates fast enough.

“The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long,” Warsh said at a press conference following the vote.

“Today’s action starts to show that we’re serious about this”

Hours after the vote, Trump called for rates to be lowered, though he stopped short of attacking Warsh personally.

“Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World — BY FAR,” the president wrote on Truth Social. (Read more from “Fed Hikes Interest Rates for First Time in Three Years in Bid to Tamp Down Inflation” HERE)

Duct-Tape Plane Passenger Breaks Silence — and Gives Unbelievable Excuse for Midflight Meltdown

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The American Airlines passenger who had to be duct-taped to his seat after going berserk on a flight to Newark claimed he had no recollection of the mortifying mid-air incident a day after his arrest.

“I don’t remember any of what happened,” Layne Lundeen, 67, said as court proceedings in Annapolis, Maryland, got underway, according to The Banner in Baltimore, which obtained audio of his appearance.

“I assaulted a police officer? Is that what it says?” he reportedly said. “I don’t have my glasses.”

District Court Commissioner George Haag read the accusations against him, as Lundeen moaned, “Oh my God. What a mess. I don’t remember any of it.”

Lundeen’s alleged racist and homophobic tirade was so severe that fellow passengers had to restrain him with duct tape and zip-ties, and the flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Baltimore.

House Ditching Capitol Hill Early Without Touching AI, Debt Or Mass Surveillance

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House decided to leave Washington, D.C., early for the October recess Wednesday and not return until after the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer announced the last scheduled votes would take place Wednesday afternoon and canceled all votes expected on Thursday. House leadership canceled session for the last two weeks of September to campaign in the midterm elections, although the national debt, mass surveillance and artificial intelligence (AI) remain unresolved.

Over 100 Democrats urged Johnson to stay in session through September and October to rein in AI risks. Tech leaders warned that AI development must slow down or it could kill all humanity within the next decade.

President Donald Trump called these warnings a “sick conspiracy” and argued no guardrails were needed. Many Republicans, including Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, appeared open to placing some guardrails on AI without stifling innovation.

Other Republicans agreed with Trump that China’s AI development remained a threat to the U.S., while others believed AI needed more regulations.

Speaker Mike Johnson said that the House passed 600 pieces of legislation, including the Safeguard America Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, that are sitting in the Senate. (Read more from “House Ditching Capitol Hill Early Without Touching AI, Debt Or Mass Surveillance” HERE)

AI Leader Says Omnipresent Form Of Media Is So Dangerous He Doesn’t Even Want His Kids Near It

/0 Comments/in , /by

Leading artificial intelligence executive Sam Altman warned that he would not let his own children use short-form content because of its effects on young minds.

The OpenAI CEO said short-form video is “dangerous” and he does not want his kids watching it during an on-stage interview at Salesforce’s Dreamforce conference in San Francisco on Tuesday. Altman made the remarks after being asked what AI companies should learn from social media’s toll on young people — the issue at the center of Meta’s roughly $17.1 billion settlement on Aug. 26 with states that accused the company of addicting teens to its apps.

“I think we’re going to stay in an extremely human- centric world no matter how good [AI] technology gets, and I think one of the things I didn’t like about social media is, I think, it pushed us a little bit more away,” Altman told Salesforce CEO and chairman Marc Benioff at the conference.

Social media has not been “only positive” for society, especially when looking at the effects on young people, the OpenAI CEO said. He argued that social media companies shouldn’t shoulder the blame for all of society’s problems, but he would have managed the companies differently.

“I happen to like short for video … but I wouldn’t let my kids near that stuff,” Altman said at the conference. “I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect kids to be able to resist that dopamine thing or know that they even should.” (Read more from “AI Leader Says Omnipresent Form Of Media Is So Dangerous He Doesn’t Even Want His Kids Near It” HERE)
