More Than Half of Republicans Believe U.S. Headed Towards Civil War

A concerning percentage of Americans believe that the country is on a collision course with a civil war, according to a new poll. The survey also revealed there is an alarming number of Americans who would support carrying out political violence against government leaders.

The Tulchin Research group conducted a survey of 1,500 Americans in April, and the Southern Poverty Law Center published the distressing results on Wednesday.

When asked if “gender ideology has corrupted American culture,” there was a stark partisan divide – with 72% of Republicans saying it had damaged the culture versus only 34% of Democrats.

According to the SPLC poll, 44% of young male Democrats and 34% of young male Republicans would approve of assassinating “a politician who is harming our country or democracy.” The percentage plummets to 6% of older male Democrats and Republicans.

When it comes to “threatening a politician who is harming our country or democracy,” there are 46% of younger Republican men and 40% of younger Democratic men who approve. The poll defines “younger” as Americans under the age of 50. (Read more from “More Than Half of Republicans Believe U.S. Headed Towards Civil War” HERE)

Sick: Parenting Article Suggests Taking Children to Pride Parades, but Acknowledges That They’re Disgusting

A piece posted on Fatherly.com suggests that people should take their children to pride parades — but by noting that such events can include “public nudity,” the piece actually proves that parents should under no circumstances consider taking their kids to pride festivities.

“Pride Parades and the Pride festivals that follow are noisy and crowded. They’re filled with sights that may be new to kids, like public nudity and kink. Not to mention that Pride parades aren’t the most sober of places. So is it appropriate to take your young kids to Pride?” the piece asks. “Considering the benefits for all families — including seeing other LGBTQ+ families like yours, or showing up as an ally if your family members are straight and cisgender — the answer is absolutely.”

The piece says that Jenifer McGuire, a lesbian, has attended pride events with her children, who have learned to expect nakedness.

“They just had to learn to laugh and enjoy things. Like there were these Beanie Babies with giant penises on them,” McGuire said, according to the outlet. “For a fourth- and fifth-grade kid, that’s super funny.”

The piece suggests preparing kids before heading to a pride event by reading them children’s books about LGBT topics: “Before going to Pride, you should also sit your kids down with a few more children’s books about LGBTQ+ people and families. Kids have a tendency to point and ask questions when they’re exposed to new things, and you don’t want people celebrating Pride to become a convenient life lesson for your children.”

Gun Control Activist Wants to ‘Hold America Hostage’

Dave Cullen, a guest on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” called for protests to “hold America hostage” in order to pass gun control legislation Thursday.

The call came after guest host John Heilemann referenced an article published Tuesday in The Atlantic that called for students to refuse to go back to school in the fall and called for “an Emmett Till moment” that would “shock the system” to enact gun control.

“Take the summer – take the summer, plan this out,” Cullen, the author of “Parkland,” a book about survivors of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who became advocates for gun control, said after Heilemann’s comments, “Do it right and essentially hold America hostage. Families, parents. And the workplaces and just walk out of school and make a demand.” (Read more from “Gun Control Activist Wants to ‘Hold America Hostage’” HERE)

Pfizer Asks FDA to Clear COVID Shots for Babies

Children statistically have virtually no chance of death or serious illness from COVID-19, but, in any case, the experimental vaccines rushed to market under emergency use authorization have proven to be ineffective against the current SARS-CoV-2 variants while posing the risk of severe harm or death in proportions far higher than any vaccine in history.

Children also, according to studies, are at low risk of spreading COVID-19. Further, the CDC recently reported higher COVID-19 case rates have been recorded among fully vaccinated children than unvaccinated in the age group 5-11 since February 2022. And the U.K.’s Office for National Statistics found children are up to 52 times more likely to die following the COVID-19 injection than children who have not received it.

Nevertheless, Pfizer has submitted a request to the FDA – which tried to hide Pfizer’s clinical trial data for 75 years – to grant emergency use authorization to administer its COVID-19 vaccine to children from six months to 5 years of age.

The pharmaceutical giant declared in May that a three-shot regimen of its Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was 80.3% effective in preventing COVID infections among children under 5, based on early results of its trial for that cohort. (Read more from “Pfizer Asks FDA to Clear COVID Shots for Babies” HERE)

Has the First Blow Been Struck in China’s Plan to Destroy the U.S. Indo-Pacific Defense Strategy?

The following information, provided by Lude Media, describes an alleged military incident, which has not yet been reported by the international media. It will be updated as new information becomes available.

From the Central Military Committee of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA): In the afternoon of May 30, 2022 local time, over 10 PLA navy and military-civilian fusion ships (including fishing boats and scientific research ships) conducted a military drill around the Japanese-administered Okinotori Island, during which tetrapod coastal engineering structures meant to sustain the island’s integrity against sea erosion were allegedly damaged by fire from PLA ships. Subsequently, the PLA ships attempted to surround a nearby Japanese civilian fishing vessel, which managed to escape. The PLA ships then left the area before Japanese defense forces could respond.

Perhaps not coincidentally, within hours of that yet unconfirmed event, China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian stated in an official press conference that Okinotori is a reef, not an island, and cannot have an exclusive economic zone surrounding it. Thus, Japan’s claim violates the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Zhao Lijian said that the surface area of Okinotori Reef exposed to the water surface at high tide is less than 10 square meters, but Japan illegally claimed nearly 700,000 square kilometers of jurisdictional sea area around Okinotori Island.

It is true that Japan has tried to sustain and build up Okinotori Island using tetrapod and other structures to bolster its claim for an economic exclusion zone, a claim that has been disputed by China, Taiwan and South Korea.

Nevertheless, China’s objective is far more insidious than just challenging an economic exclusion zone.

In addition to using Okinotori or similar issues as information warfare to resurrect fears of World War Two-era Japanese militarism and expansionism to divide U.S. allies in the region, China plans to destroy the U.S. Indo-Pacific First and Second Island Chain defense structure established during the Korean War to contain the expansion of Communist China.

The map shows the positions of the First and Second Island Chains, which China intends to dominate militarily, the yellow dot indicating the approximate position of Okinotori Island.

Taiwan is the linchpin of the First Island Chain, control of which would ensure domination of the East and South China Seas and the isolation of South Korea.

China does not intend to stop there, but will attempt to control the Pacific region as far east as the Second Island Chain, which would separate Japan and the Philippines from the U.S. western Pacific defense zone.

China’s western Pacific strategy is part of an overall plan to destroy the entire U.S. Indo-Pacific defense structure and to dismember the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue involving the United States, Japan, India and Australia with the following objectives:

1. Control the vital sea lanes of the northern Indian Ocean by linking Chinese military bases and dual-use port facilities with a China-controlled First and Second Island Chain security zone.

2. Establish Chinese military-controlled choke points at the strategically-critical entrance of the Red Sea and the Suez Canal and the mouth of the oil-rich Persian Gulf.

3. Isolate India economically and militarily via the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (now including Afghanistan) through the Pakistani ports of Gwadar and Karachi; by the establishment of military bases in Pakistan; and by the intimidation of India through China-initiated border clashes and infiltration of Islamic extremists from Pakistan into Indian Kashmir (arrows on the map).

4. Neutralize Australia and New Zealand by facilitating the election of China-friendly left-wing governments.

The above occurs as America is distracted by Ukraine and weakened by irreconcilable internal division, an uncontrolled invasion through its southern border, steep economic decline and self-inflicted military unpreparedness, all of which has been expedited by a U.S. ruling elite compromised by or even allied with China.

Tranny Treatments Disqualified From State Medicaid Coverage

Already, Texas officials have authorized state investigations into parents who promote their children for transgender treatment, especially body mutilating surgeries. . .

A report at The Federalist documents that Medicaid officials in the state of Florida have found that those “experimental” and “mutilative” surgeries do not qualify for coverage.

The Federalist explained, “A new report out from Florida Medicaid finds that ‘puberty suppression, cross-sex hormones, and surgical procedures’ used to treat gender dysphoria ‘do not conform’ to generally accepted professional medical standards.”

And that is required for the treatments to be considered for coverage, the report said.

It follows word from Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo that rejected the injurious procedures. (Read more from “Tranny Treatments Disqualified From State Medicaid Coverage” HERE)

Biden Calls for Sweeping Gun Control Agenda

President Joe Biden invoked victims’ family members in imploring an evenly divided Senate to “do something” in response to a spate of mass shootings, saying schools had become like “killing fields” and that it was time to “meet the moment.”

The president said Thursday that the federal bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines should be reinstated, arguing that the expiration of these provisions led to an increase in mass shootings. The age at which certain weapons could be purchased should go up, he said, adding that immunity for gun manufacturers should also be lifted. Safe storage should be required, and background checks should be expanded, Biden continued.

“Enough,” Biden whispered. He said parents had to do “DNA swabs” to identify their children because the powerful weapons made their corpses unrecognizable and swatted away practical and constitutional objections to his proposals. “Don’t tell me raising the age won’t make a difference,” Biden said. “Enough.”

Biden opened by talking about the rows of crosses he and first lady Jill Biden saw on Memorial Day. He likened it to the crosses he saw commemorating the 19 schoolchildren and two teachers killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, last week.

Trump Makes Endorsement in Arizona Senate Race

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Senate candidate Blake Masters, an “America First” populist, in the upcoming Arizona Republican primary election.

“Despite having such an amazing business career and wonderful family, Blake has decided that he wants to make a difference for the people of our Country, and is therefore running for the United States Senate from the Great State of Arizona,” Trump wrote in a news release.

Masters, a venture capitalist, narrowly led the field of GOP primary candidates in Arizona earlier this year, according to a survey for Saving Arizona PAC in March, though recent polls have shown him behind or even with GOP primary rivals, including Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, and businessman Jim Lamon.

Trump praised Masters as a “great modern-day thinker” and lauded the candidate’s commitment to the former president’s priorities, including immigration, gun rights, and his unverified claims about fraudulent activity in the 2020 election.

Ukraine Official Fired Over Handling of Russian Sexual Assault Claims

A Ukrainian official has been relieved of her duties over her handling of reports detailing sexual assault allegations made against Russians in Ukraine.

On Tuesday, the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, removed Lyudmila Denisova, the parliament’s commissioner for human rights, from her post, according to Ukrainska Pravda. No new appointment has been made to fill the role.

The move to dismiss Denisova came after outrage about the wording used in public reports about alleged sexual assaults committed by Russians, as well as the alleged dissemination in those reports of unverified information. Despite accusations from Ukraine, the Kremlin has repeatedly denied that Russian soldiers have committed war crimes or sexual assaults during the invasion.

Last week, Ukrainian media outlets and journalists signed an open letter in which they requested that reports concerning rape and sexual assault be “published with caution,” particularly when involving children, according to an English translation of the letter.

House Judiciary GOPers Slammed Over ‘Bizarre’ Tweet Celebrating Depp Verdict

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are coming under fire over a tweet that celebrated actor Johnny Depp’s win in his defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard.

[T]he official House Judiciary GOP Twitter account celebrated Depp’s victory by posting a gif of the actor in one of his most famous roles — Captain Jack Sparrow from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series.

The tweet immediately received backlash from both sides of the political divide, with many calling it “gross,” “weird” and “bizarre.”

Most of the criticism focused on why members of Congress were weighing in on a legal case that stemmed from a bitter divorce.

“Is there a single enterprise or institution that can stay in its lane?” asked author and Commentary magazine associate editor Noah Rothman on a Twitter thread. (Read more from “House Judiciary GOPers Slammed Over ‘Bizarre’ Tweet Celebrating Depp Verdict” HERE)
