Mark Zuckerberg Banned Tampons in Meta’s Male Bathrooms, Here’s What Happened Next

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

By Townhall. Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to remove tampons from Meta’s male restrooms has prompted employees to take matters into their own hands as Zuckerberg turns to the right side. In contrast, his employees are stuck in the hamster wheel of the left’s progressive policies.

Zuckerberg has made a concerted effort to mend ties with President Donald Trump, beginning with a face-to-face meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and a $1 million donation to his inauguration fund. In the wake of that meeting, Zuckerberg rolled out a series of strategic shifts within Meta aimed at distancing the company from its previously entrenched left-leaning reputation.

Meta Employees Take Matters Into Their Own Hands

By Christianna Silva. After tampons, liners, and pads were removed from men’s bathrooms earlier this month, they mysteriously reappeared — not through company policy, but through the quiet defiance of workers who brought in their own supplies. According to five anonymous sources cited by The New York Times, employees also circulated a petition calling for Meta to reinstate the amenities.

Meta, however, stood firm on its stance. The company reportedly responded it had “not been the intention of Meta leadership to make employees feel unwelcome or excluded in our offices, [but] at this point, we do not have plans to revisit our on-site amenities offerings.” Don’t worry, though — the feedback was shared with leadership.

Democrats to Allow Illegals to Change Their Names to Evade ICE

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a controversial move, Illinois Democrats are pushing forward a bill that would allow illegal immigrants to change their names legally to help them evade detection by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The proposal, which undermines the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, further highlights Illinois’ troubling trend of prioritizing the interests of illegal immigrants over the safety and security of American citizens. While supporters argue the move is about protecting immigrants from deportation, critics see it as a blatant attack on the rule of law and an irresponsible effort to shield individuals who have entered the country illegally from accountability.

During a segment on Bannon’s War Room, Real America’s Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam revealed that Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) was considering signing a measure to protect illegal aliens from being detected by law enforcement.

House Bill 5164 would remove restrictions on illegal immigrants wishing to change their names. It passed both houses of Illinois Congress earlier this month and was sent to Pritzker’s desk last week.

The legislation would also protect criminal offenders and ensure that “filing fees for a petition for change name may not exceed $25.” it would also allow the court to waive the filing fee “for good cause shown.” (Read more from “Democrats to Allow Illegals to Change Their Names to Evade ICE” HERE)

Hospital Scrubs Notorious Child Sex Change Clinic From Website As Gender Industrial Complex Goes In Full Retreat

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Hasbro Children’s Hospital, an affiliate of Brown University Health, has removed a webpage publicizing their pediatric gender clinic services, which included puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, from its website.

The Medical Director of the Hasbro Children’s Hospital Gender and Sexuality Program, Jason Rafferty, is the lead author of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) child sex-change policy, which supports the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex-change surgeries. President Trump recently signed an executive order that labels these interventions as “chemical and surgical mutilation” based on “junk science” and strips institutions pushing gender ideology of federal funding. In response to President Trump’s order, pediatric gender clinics across the country are closing their doors, including Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., and VCU Health and Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU.

The web page removed from Hasbro’s Children’s Hospital titled “Gender and Sexual Health Services for Children, Teens, and Young Adults” states the clinic was accepting new patients and was providing children as of January 16th, 2025, according to an internet archive. The archived page states “The Gender and Sexuality Program at Rhode Island and its Hasbro Children’s Hospital provides a safe environment, education, and access to specialty medical care drawing upon current evidence-based practices and the unique needs of each individual child.”

“The Gender and Sexuality Program at Hasbro Children’s Hospital is accepting new pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients.”

Brown University Health did not respond to the DCNF’s requests to confirm if the webpage had been removed as a reaction to Trump’s executive order. (Read more from “Hospital Scrubs Notorious Child Sex Change Clinic From Website As Gender Industrial Complex Goes In Full Retreat” HERE)

New Mystery Regarding Chopper’s Call Sign; Witness: ‘Looked Totally Wrong’; Air Traffic Controller Chilling Audio: ‘Crash, Crash, Crash, This Is an Alert Three’

/16 Comments/in , , /by

Chilling audio from air traffic control captured the moment the flight safety agency reported the horrific midair collision between an American Airlines jet and a Black Hawk military helicopter.

On Wednesday night, American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter, exploding in a fiery impact as it approached Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, DC.

In a recording of air tower communications at the time of the horrific collision, captured by LiveATC.net, an aircraft can be heard calling the tower just seconds after the CRJ700 Bombardier jet carrying 64 passengers and crew got in touch.

Doomed Blackhawk’s Call Sign Spawns More Mystery

By Alyssa Guzman. The call sign for the doomed Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into an American Airlines plane and killed more than 60 passengers has sparked mystery as the public struggles to make sense of the tragic incident.

The Black Hawk was marked as a PAT 25, which stands for priority air transport and is usually reserved for when the Army is conducting VIP missions, such as having officials onboard.

The Army has confirmed no officials were onboard the aircraft, which was carrying three soldiers, a standard sized crew, according to Fox News Journalist Jennifer Griffin.

The military aircraft was conducting a training flight, according to Joint Task Force-National Capitol Region Media Chief Heather Chairez. It belonged to B Company, 12th Aviation Battalion out of Fort Belvoir in Virginia.

However, some aren’t buying those claims, and question what the crew was carrying onboard for it be designated as a PAT 25.

Jacq Cerra, who is in the Army, is one of the people questioning it, saying on TikTok: ‘I’m telling you right now – and they can kill me for saying it – under no circumstances is a military helicopter, especially a f**king Black Hawk, accidentally crashing into a commercial plane.

Witness: Something Look Really Wrong

By Niamh Shackleton. One person to have spoken out is Ari Schulman, who had been driving along the George Washington Parkway – a route he often takes – when the tragedy unfolded.

Speaking to NBC Washington, Schulman said: “I always look [at the planes landing] when I’m driving home. It’s always a really interesting, elegant sight. They’re all nice and spaced out in a beautiful line when they’re coming into land.”

Going on to recall what’s presumed to have been the American Airlines flight, Schulman described its route as looking ‘totally normal’ to him and, keen to see it land, so he turned back onto the road again.

“I wanted to get another look to try and see the plane land, so I turned back again a few seconds later and it looked very, very wrong,” he recalled.

“[The plane] was turned hard to the right – maybe 90 degrees or more to the right. I could see the underside of the plane, and it was very, very dark out so you shouldn’t be able to see the underside of a plane.

“But I could see it. It was illuminated bright yellow and there was a stream of sparks underneath it. It looked to me like a giant Roman candle.” (Read more from this story HERE)

The Lib Trolls Who Tried to Blame Trump for the Reagan Airport Disaster Got Bulldozed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Reagan National Airport has reopened after becoming the site of the worst air disaster in years: American Airlines flight 5342 from Kansas crashed into an Army Blackhawk helicopter on approach, killing all 64 people onboard. The three soldiers in the chopper also didn’t survive. As bodies were being recovered, the Left didn’t waste any time trying to blame Donald Trump for this crash. We didn’t have confirmation yet that no one survived, and they were pulling this nonsense.

First, Aaron Rupar has yet to delete this tweet about funding cuts that might have contributed to this crash. It didn’t show that airport security is an entirely different animal. Some tried to hit Trump for his federal worker buyouts and how that won’t help the supposed shortage of quality air traffic controllers; these people can’t work from home.

We Know the How Things Were at the Reagan Control Tower Before the Crash. It’s Not Good.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The nation is reeling from the Reagan National Airport disaster. There are no survivors. The American Airlines flight that collided with an Army Blackhawk helicopter last night around 9 PM spared no one. All 67 people on the aircraft and the chopper perished in what is the worst aviation accident in recent memory. For some, this was an event waiting to happen, given the congestion, the length of the runway, and variating flight patterns.

Reagan Airport has seen more than a few close calls. It doesn’t help that the air traffic control tower has one staffer doing the work of two people. The conditions before the tragic crash were described as “not normal.” The media lambasted President Trump for insinuating the DEI initiatives were partially to blame, along with the control tower. He was right about the latter (via NYT):

Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to an internal preliminary Federal Aviation Administration safety report about the collision that was reviewed by The New York Times.

The controller who was handling helicopters in the airport’s vicinity Wednesday night was also instructing planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, rather than one.

This increases the workload for the air traffic controller and can complicate the job. One reason is that the controllers can use different radio frequencies to communicate with pilots flying planes and pilots flying helicopters. While the controller is communicating with pilots of the helicopter and the jet, the two sets of pilots may not be able to hear each other.

Dems Worry Kash Patel Could Weaponize FBI Against Political Enemies Like They Did

/1 Comment/in , /by

In a Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday, feckless Democrat senators grilled Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, trying to paint him as a Trump henchman hellbent on seeking revenge for all the crap the FBI put Trump and American citizens through.

It’s no wonder they are worried; the nation has seen how the FBI has been turned into a political weapon, and Democrats don’t want it pointed at them.

The Federalist has written extensively about corruption within the FBI under Democrats’ watch, including the Russia collusion hoax that Patel helped disprove; the gun-toting dawn raids on the homes of nonviolent citizens; the overreaching invasion of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home; and the tampering in the federal election by concealing the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s incriminating laptop.

Democrats called Patel a conspiracy theorist and a Trump loyalist. They asked him many times whom he intended to go after on Trump’s behalf and whether he would ever tell Trump he would not pursue a case, implying that it is both Trump’s and Patel’s plan to misuse the FBI.

“Any accusations leveled against me that I would somehow put political bias before the Constitution are grotesquely unfair,” Patel said. “I will have you reminded that I have been endorsed by over 300,000 law enforcement officers to become the next director of the FBI.” (Read more from “Dems Worry Kash Patel Could Weaponize FBI Against Political Enemies Like They Did” HERE)

Connecticut Bureaucrat Charged With Fraudulently Changing Republican Voter Registrations To Democrat

/1 Comment/in , /by

A Connecticut state mental health worker has been accused of fraudulently changing Republican voter registrations to Democrat following a September voting event.

Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services employee Arlanda Brantley, 57, faces “five counts each of Fraudulent Registration and Primary or Enrollment Violations,” according to Fox61. As the Hartford Courant reported, police arrested her Monday.

After a “national voting event” at the Western Connecticut Mental Health Network in Torrington, Connecticut on Sept. 17, Brantley allegedly changed “several” voter registration cards with an affiliation of “Republican” or “No” to “Democrat” “without the consent of the registrants.” Police said she then submitted the cards to the Torrington Registrar of Voters clerk, according to Fox61.

Officials noticed white out on the voter registrations, Torrington Registrar of Voters Clerk Melissa Russell told The Federalist. A “handful” of registrations — close to 10 — were affected, according to Russell. She said she does not know if Brantley altered registration cards in other jurisdictions, but the affected Torrington voters fixed their party affiliation before November’s election.

The Torrington Police Department and State Elections Enforcement Commission led the investigation, according to reports. (Read more from “Connecticut Bureaucrat Charged With Fraudulently Changing Republican Voter Registrations To Democrat” HERE)

‘Bowing to Wokeness Since 2010’: Fmr Air Traffic Controller Says Short Staffing Is ‘Attributable to Obama Admin’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A former air traffic controller blamed the Obama administration Thursday on Fox News for the short staffing in the aviation industry, which reportedly led to the air collision at the Washington Reagan National Airport.

A military helicopter and an American Airlines passenger jet collided near Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., resulting in the deaths of everyone on board both aircraft. An internal preliminary Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety report reviewed by The New York Times revealed that staffing at the Ronald Reagan National Airport air traffic control tower was insufficient for the time of day and traffic volume when the collision occurred. Former air traffic controller Michael Pearson said on “The Ingraham Angle” that the short staffing was “attributable to the Obama administration.”

“The system has been under attack due to DEI and the FAA bowing to wokeness since 2010, since the Obama administration,” Pearson said. “The lack of staffing is directly attributable to the Obama administration terminating the lists of eligible, well-trained air traffic control statements in 36 universities across the country in 2013 because they were too white.”

Simultaneously, the FAA rolled out an immunity program which, Pearson said, has fundamentally altered the handling of operational errors. (Read more from “‘Bowing to Wokeness Since 2010’: Fmr Air Traffic Controller Says Short Staffing Is ‘Attributable to Obama Admin’” HERE)

Senate Committees Waging War On RFK Jr Are Knee Deep In Big Pharma, Food Industry Cash

/0 Comments/in , /by

Contentious hearings to consider Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services this week have shined a spotlight on some of Washington’s most powerful lobbies.

Senators aiming critical questions at Kennedy this week found their contributions from the health care industry and their personal investments in the pharmaceutical industry and companies that make highly processed food being spotlighted on X to millions of views. The dynamic has pitted Kennedy’s legion of online supporters against senators critical of Kennedy’s skepticism of vaccines.

At a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing Thursday, several senators directly addressed the popular support of the “Make America Healthy Again” movement.

Senate HELP Committee Chair Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a Republican, was highly critical of Kennedy’s prior statements about the measles vaccine and Hepatitis B vaccine, but conceded that his phone “blows up” with his supporters.

As the hearing concluded Thursday, Cassidy said that he was struggling with whether to vote to confirm Kennedy.
