/0 Comments/in , /by

On Wednesday, Denver Public Schools recruited a celebrity drag queen to serve as a crossing guard for the day.

Dixie Krystals, a drag entertainer for over 20 years, was brought on by the school district to attend a “Walk and Roll to School” day, according to the district’s social media post.

Krystals previously appeared on the Discovery+ show “Generation Drag,” which followed the lives of five teenagers as they prepared for a drag show performance.

Krystals was just one of the celebrities the school district enlisted to assist with crossing guard duties for the day in honor of Pedestrian Safety Month. Superintendent Dr. Alex Marrero and Democratic Colorado Senator John Hickenlooper also attended the event.

Amy Kenreich, a Safe Routes to School Advocate, explained in a video posted by Denver Public Schools that the Walk and Roll event is a crossguard holiday that promotes “active transportation.” (Read more from “Drag Queen Recruited by School District to Serve as Crossing Guard” HERE)

New York Times Lampooned for Conspiracy Theory That Hispanic Americans Could Be the New Face of ‘White Supremacy’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New York Times opinion writer proposed a new replacement theory. In the unfounded conspiracy theory, Hispanic Americans could replace white Americans in terms of engaging in campaigns of “anti-black racism.” According to the New York Times article, Hispanic Americans would be the new face of white supremacy – but it would be deemed “lite supremacy.”

New York Times opinion columnist Charles M. Blow wrote an article claiming that Hispanic Americans could soon be the main proprietors of anti-black racism. Blow’s conspiracy theory is based on an incident that occurred last year in Los Angeles.

Last week, a secret recording from October 2021 between three Los Angeles city council members – all of whom are Democrats – and a labor union leader was leaked online. They are accused of making racist comments during a meeting about redistricting held at a labor federation office. The four individuals involved in the scandal are Latino, and they are Los Angeles County Federation of Labor president Ron Herrera and L.A. councilmembers Nury Martinez, Kevin de León, and Gil Cedillo.

The New York Post reported, “The officials were discussing how to maintain political power in the city’s Latino communities when Martinez reportedly called the black son of white colleague Mike Bonin a ‘little monkey’ in Spanish and referred to her fellow Democrat — who is gay — as a ‘little b***h,” while offering to give his adopted son a ‘beatdown.'” (Read more from “New York Times Lampooned for Conspiracy Theory That Hispanic Americans Could Be the New Face of ‘White Supremacy’” HERE)

‘Dangerously Depleted’: The US Is Sending So Many Weapons to Ukraine That Experts Are Starting to Worry

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. needs to seriously invest more in weapons and ammunition if it wants to continue supporting Ukraine and brace for conflict with other great powers, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Global efforts to support Ukraine’s resistance to the Russian invasion have triggered billions in spending to bolster Ukraine’s military, depleting U.S. stocks and raising concerns that the West may cripple its military opposite the rising threat from China. The U.S. will have to dramatically ramp up production, or otherwise risk further weakening the U.S. arsenal and adversely affecting America’s ability to react to dangers from China and other potential foes, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“For U.S. policy makers, the critical question regarding our policy towards Ukraine is quickly becoming more a what we can do for Ukraine, not necessarily what we should do,” Dan Caldwell, a senior advisor to Concerned Veterans for America and vice president for foreign policy at Stand Together, told the DCNF. “U.S. stockpiles of munitions are becoming dangerously depleted and it will take years for U.S. production capacity to catch up.” (Read more from “‘Dangerously Depleted’: The US Is Sending So Many Weapons to Ukraine That Experts Are Starting to Worry” HERE)

Huh? Boston Globe Contributor Says She Had Her First Abortion at Age 11 Despite Never Being Pregnant

/0 Comments/in , /by

A contributor for the Boston Globe said in a recent article that she had her first abortion at the age of 11, despite having never been pregnant.

“I had my first abortion when I was 11 years old, and another five or six between the ages of 12 and 21. I have Vascular Ehlers-Danlos, an extremely rare genetic connective tissue disorder, one symptom of which is frequent and potentially fatal bleeding. The abortions were my treatment,” wrote Lora-Ellen McKinney.

“I have never been pregnant.”

. . .“Were I a young girl in most of the United States today, there would likely not be a pediatric gynecologist to treat my unusual, specific, and critical medical needs,” McKinney alleges. “Nor would I be allowed the procedures required to keep my challenged uterus healthy. This is because my treatments as dictated by doctors have now been politicized and miscast as something they are not.” . . .

Despite McKinney’s insistence that she would have simply died had she needed the procedure currently in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned, the overturning of Roe does not ban such procedures, according to The New York Times. (Read more from “Huh?

Christian Teacher Fired for Refusing to Read LGBT Books to Kids Fights Back

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California childcare teacher sued her former employer last week after she was allegedly terminated and mistreated because of her religious objection to reading books to children featuring same-sex couples.

Nelli Parisenkova, who is being represented by lawyers with the Thomas More Society, worked four years at Bright Horizons Children’s Center in Studio City and cared for children aged five and younger, according to the complaint she filed Thursday in the Superior Court of California.

The lawsuit claims Parisenkova was aware of such LGBT-themed material at the Studio City location of the largest childcare company in the U.S., but at first had not been required to read them. Founded in 1986, Bright Horizons has hundreds of locations worldwide and employs more than 26,000 people.

Parisenkova’s situation changed in April when Katy Callas, who serves as director of the location, learned of Parisenkova’s religious objections to the material, refused her request for a religious accommodation and ultimately created a hostile work environment that led to her termination, according to the complaint.

The complaint explained how for Parisenkova, who is “a devout Christian,” reading such books to children “would violate her religious beliefs and constitute promotion of intimate relationships and choices that are contrary to the teachings of her faith.” (Read more from “Christian Teacher Fired for Refusing to Read LGBT Books to Kids Fights Back” HERE)

Fighting Words: Biden Rebuked for Calling Nuclear-Armed Country ‘One of the Most Dangerous Nations’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the U.S. ambassador on Saturday to express their “disappointment and concern” after President Joe Biden called Pakistan “one of the most dangerous nations in the world.”

The president made the remark at a fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Los Angeles while discussing Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“This is a guy who understands what he wants but has an enormous, enormous array of problems. How do we handle that? How do we handle that relative to what’s going on in Russia? And what I think is maybe one of the most dangerous nations in the world: Pakistan. Nuclear weapons without any cohesion,” Biden said at the event, according to a transcript posted by the White House.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that his country takes nuclear safety measures “with the utmost seriousness.”

“Pakistan is a responsible nuclear state and we are proud that our nuclear assets have the best safeguards as per IAEA requirements,” Sharif tweeted on Saturday.

Pedo Sympathizer: Ghislaine Maxwell Feels ‘so Bad for’ Prince Andrew

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[Ghislaine] Maxwell, 60, made the comment in her first interview since her conviction last year for a CBS-Paramount Plus documentary. The Duke of York, 62, has gone above and beyond to deny his connections to the convicted sex trafficker as he faces scandal himself, and Maxwell reportedly looked “shaken” when told Andrew denies the two were ever close, according to the Guardian.

“I feel so bad for him. I follow what is happening to him,” she told filmmaker Daphne Barak.

“I accept that this friendship could not survive my conviction. He is paying such a price for the association. I consider him a dear friend. I care about him,” Maxwell said when told of Andrew’s denial of their connection. When asked if she would continue being friends with him after her prison term, she replied, “I don’t have an expectation. People who I have been friends with, and very close friends with … I can’t think about what they will want to do or not do.”

The disgraced British socialite also addressed a now-infamous picture of Andrew with an underage Virginia Giuffre, which became instrumental in the Giuffres’ case against the Duke.

“I have come to discover that image I don’t believe is true. And the original has never been produced because it doesn’t exist. I don’t believe that image is a true image,” she said, despite earlier having appeared to confirm its authenticity.

China’s Xi Issues Dark Warning on Taiwan as He Prepares to Consolidate Power Over CCP

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chinese leader Xi Jinping, poised to seize a third term in full control of his nation, signaled a pending move on Taiwan, did a victory lap over Bejing’s defeat of Hong Kong’s democracy aspirations and vowed to defeat COVID in a Sunday speech.

The 69-year-old Xi, who became the head of the Chinese Communist Party 10 years ago, struck a stridently nationalistic tone at the opening of the 20th Party Congress, which appears set to affirm him as its leader for life. He seemed to embrace that his muscular government is on a collision course with the West and intends to take over Taiwan.

Xi referred to “rapid changes in the international situation,” which experts inferred meant China’s increasing alienation from the West and burgeoning alliance with Russia.

Xi claimed victory over both Hong Kong’s stalled independence movement and COVID, crediting his government with having “protected people’s lives and health.” Mentioning Taiwan as the third of three major challenges met by his regime was deemed a signal that Beijing may be closer than ever to make a move on Taiwan, a self-governing democracy Beijing claims as its own.

The speech was delivered inside Beijing’s Great Hall of the People to 2,300 of the CCP’s most powerful members. They cheered wildly when the president mentioned “reunification” with Taiwan. Although he pledged to try to achieve the goal peacefully, he issued a dark warning. (Read more from “China’s Xi Issues Dark Warning on Taiwan as He Prepares to Consolidate Power Over CCP” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Tells off Zelensky; Is This Why Elon Musk Pulled Starlink in Ukraine?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Daily Caller co-founder and Fox News host Tucker Carlson told off Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on his show Thursday night.

Carlson began by criticizing members of the so-called “Squad,” including Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, for expressing concerns about giving Ukraine money but still voting in favor of sending billions to the embattled nation.

Carlson then turned his attention to Zelensky, who he dubbed the “celebrity-endorsed dictator of the most corrupt nation in Europe.”

“Zelensky is now shaking down our cowardly Congress for more cash at the very moment our own economy, our own borders, are collapsing,” Carlson added. . .

“What? Some uppity foreigner in a t-shirt demanding money for his critical economic needs? We have critical economics too buddy. Who are you, troll? Go away. Since when does that guy have a claim on our treasury?” Carlson asked. “We don’t owe this guy anything, not one thing. Good luck, pal. That’s it. And as our economy degrades and our border is gone, that guy is lecturing us with some Christmas list, like ‘I want this, that and I want a bicycle too! Send it, quick!’ Really? Up yours, buddy.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Tells off Zelensky” HERE)

Elon Musk Seems to Suggest He’s Pulling Starlink From Ukraine Because Ambassador Was Rude

By VT. Elon Musk has indicated that the Starlink satellite internet will no longer be provided to Ukraine because the ambassador cursed at him.

The news comes days after Ukrainian ambassador Andrij Melnyk slammed the 51-year-old SpaceX founder’s proposal that the Russian invasion of Ukraine could be ended by “re-doing elections under UN supervision” in regions annexed illegally by Russia, per CNN.

On October 14, Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Post journalist Jason Jay Smart wrote on Twitter that Starlink had announced that it can “no longer afford to give Ukraine free service” and “asks the Pentagon to pay for it” because Melnyk told Musk to “f*** off”.

In response, the Tesla CEO wrote that he was “just following [the] recommendation” of the ambassador – seemingly suggesting the reason why he pulled out his satellite. (Read more from “Elon Musk Seems to Suggest He’s Pulling Starlink From Ukraine Because Ambassador Was Rude” HERE)

Russia to Hold Large-Scale Nuclear Weapons Exercise: A Drill or Real?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia is expected to hold large-scale exercises of its nuclear forces soon, leaving the West hard-pressed to spot whether Moscow is just carrying drills or an actual nuclear attack, according to a report.

Every year, Russia holds nuclear exercises around October. However, this year’s drills come just weeks after President Vladimir Putin threatened to use nuclear weapons “if the territorial integrity of our country is threatened.” His statement, coupled with the upcoming drills, have some Western officials worried as Russia continues to post losses in Ukraine.

“This is why you don’t want to have extraordinarily overheated rhetoric at the same time you’re going to do a nuclear exercise,” a Western official told Reuters. “Because then we do have an additional challenge to really be sure that the actions that we see, the things that are occurring, are actually an exercise and not something else.”

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby vowed that the United States would monitor Russia’s so-called “Grom” drills, adding that they expect Moscow to include live missile launches during the exercise.

“While Russia probably believes this exercise will help it project power, particularly in light of recent events, we know that Russian nuclear units train extensively at this time of year, again, routine, and obviously, we’re going to continue to monitor that accordingly,” Kirby told reporters on Thursday.
