Air Force Tackles Recruitment Woes With New Body Fat Standards

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Air Force raised the body fat percentages allowed for new recruits amid the service’s ongoing recruitment crisis, an Air Force official confirmed Tuesday.

Male recruits will now be able to join at 26% body fat, up from the previous 20% benchmark, Military.com reported. The body fat percentage for female recruits increased from 28% to 36%, the outlet noted.

The move comes as the Air Force expects to miss its recruiting goals by 10% this year, according to Military.com. Officials anticipate the changes will result in an additional 50-100 new recruits each month, the Air Force Times reported.

The new standards are the latest in military efforts to overcome recruitment challenges. The Air Force allowed at least 43 recruits who tested positive for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to join earlier this year under a pilot program that allowed THC positive recruits to wait and retest. Other incentives for service include up to $65,000 student loan debt repayment, according to Military.com. (Read more from “Air Force Tackles Recruitment Woes With New Body Fat Standards” HERE)

Biden Administration ‘Facilitating’ Trafficking of Child Refugees, Grand Jury Charges

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Florida grand jury accused the Biden administration of “facilitating” the trafficking of child refugees after a five-month investigation conducted at the request of Governor Ron DeSantis.

The panel issued a scathing report, denounced the Biden administration and, in particular, the Homeland Security Department and Department of Health and Human Service’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). It disputed ORR’s claim that child refugees are being cared for and reunited with their families.

“In reality, ORR is facilitating the forced migration, sale, and abuse of foreign children, and some of our fellow Florida residents are (in some cases unwittingly) funding and incentivizing it for primarily economic reasons,” the report stated. “If any resident of Florida exposed U.S.-born children to this process, they would be justifiably arrested for child neglect or worse.”

Through the White House’s policies, the two federal agencies are effectively encouraging unaccompanied children from South and Central America to make the dangerous trip to the U.S. border, the grand jury found. Once at the border, many of the children are abandoned to unvetted adults, the report found.

Opioid Prescriptions Surged Among New Moms in COVID Lockdown

/0 Comments/in , /by

New mothers who gave birth after March 2020 received “more potent and more frequent opioid prescriptions” within six months than those who had children before COVID-19 lockdowns, a new study found.

A team of five researchers published the study Monday in JAMA Network Open, examining the records of 460,371 privately insured mothers who gave birth to a single newborn from July 2018 to December 2020. It warns of a possible surge in opioid addictions among new moms who may have abused painkillers to numb unpleasant feelings during the lockdowns.

“This potential for misuse was compounded during COVID-19, as the isolation and stressors of the pandemic may have been associated with women misusing opioids as a coping mechanism,” the researchers wrote.

The study found that opioid fill rates were 2.8 percentage points higher from March to December 2020 — after officials nationwide issued stay-at-home orders — than during the previous three years.

The mean of daily morphine-equivalent prescription fills was 1.7 percentage points higher; the rate of opioid prescriptions filled for every 100 moms was 4.6 percentage points higher; and the prescription rate of schedule II opioids was 2.8 percentage points higher than pre-existing trends.

‘Women Are a Biological Reality’: Gay Night Club Posts Sign Outside That Reads ‘XY = Male XX = Female’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A gay bar in New Zealand drew criticism from the transgender community after claiming that biological sex matters.

Cruz, a nightclub and bar in New Zealand, placed a sign outside the establishment that reads “XY = Male XX = Female,” apparently rejecting the idea that gender is unrelated to biological sex. The statement led to significant backlash, with some individuals accusing the business of transphobia.

The bar elaborated on Facebook, posting a picture of the sign with the caption, “women are a biological reality.” Pre-empting criticism, the bar’s Facebook account linked to videos that showed a transgender-critical speaker being attacked by trans activists and another video that claimed transgender policies negatively affect youth.

In a response to a Facebook supporter, the bar claimed that many gay and lesbian people are reluctant to speak out against the transgender movement.

“[U]nfortunately many gay and lesbian targeted businesses are afraid to call this out for what it is. That’s how things came to get as far as they have with the trans madness!” the bar posted.

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Days after rival beer giant Anheuser-Busch joined up with transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, the right-leaning rocker went viral for shooting up cases of Bud Light.

“Grandpa’s feeling a little frisky today,” the self-styled “Rock N Roll Jesus” said in a 35-second clip posted to his social-media accounts late Monday.

“Let me say something to all of you and be as clear and concise as possible,” he said as he picked up a rifle and shot up several cases of Bud Light, which recently tied itself to the divisive trans activist with transition congratulations and gifts.

[Warning: video contains explicit language.]

The 52-year-old Kid Rock wasn’t just wasting time either, calling for boycotts of all Anheuser-Busch products at least all summer long. (Read more from “Kid Rock Shoots up Bud Light Cases, Calls for Boycotts: ‘F— Bud Light, and F— Anheuser-Busch’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Investigators recovered a suicide note and further evidence during a search of Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale’s home, according to a court document.

Metro Nashville police officers scouring the 28-year-old transgender shooter’s home on the day of the killings discovered the fir, ammunition and a shotgun among 47 items, according to an inventory of the seized property.

Also recovered from the property — which Hale shared with her parents — were more journals, cellphones and laptops, according to the document, which was obtained by The Post.

The revelation comes one day after police revealed that Hale had “considered the actions of other mass murderers” and had left behind a trove of writings.

“In the collective writings by Hale found in her vehicle in the school parking lot, and others later found in the bedroom of her home, she documented, in journals, her planning over a period of months to commit mass murder at the Covenant School,” the Metro Nashville Police Department said Monday.

Bragg then explained why he should be elected as DA according to his record of prosecuting Trump and his family.

What You Should Know About the New York Judge Assigned to Trump Case

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan will preside over the hush money prosecution of former President Donald Trump despite his history of rulings against the businessman-turned-politician’s associates. . .

Trump contended last week that Merchan was “hand picked” by Bragg to preside over the case and said that Merchan “hates” him in a post to his social media platform Truth Social. Another all-caps post to Truth Social on Tuesday morning asserted that Merchan is “highly partisan” and contended that his family is composed of “well known Trump haters.”

Merchan, a Colombian-born immigrant who moved to the United States as a 6-year-old, earned a law degree from Hofstra University in 1994, according to a report from the Associated Press. He served in the state attorney general’s office before his 2006 appointment by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as a family court judge. Merchan has worked as an acting justice on the New York Supreme Court since 2009.

Merchan ruled against the Trump Organization earlier this year, finding the real estate conglomerate guilty of 17 charges related to a years-long tax evasion scheme under which the firm distributed various gifts and perks to executives. He imposed a $1.6 million fine, the legal maximum, against the company. (Read more from “What You Should Know About the New York Judge Assigned to Trump Case” HERE)
