Disney CEO: “Basic Human Right” to Indoctrinate Children with Transgenderism, Homosexuality

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Disney CEO Bob Chapek issued a rare mea culpa Friday, following two weeks of criticism over the company’s response to Florida’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

In full damage-control mode, Chapek said via a memo to staff: “Speaking to you, reading your messages, and meeting with you have helped me better understand how painful our silence was,” he wrote. “It is clear that this is not just an issue about a bill in Florida, but instead yet another challenge to basic human rights.” . . .

At Disney’s annual shareholder meeting Wednesday, Chapek said Disney was opposed to the bill and had been fighting it behind the scenes to no avail. . .

To make matters worse, Chapek’s boss, chairman of Disney General Entertainment Content Peter Rice, told The Hollywood Reporter after the shareholder meeting that “the law is a new and painful iteration of a history of discrimination against an already vulnerable group.”

“Personally, I see this law as a violation of fundamental human rights, and I condemn any attempt to marginalize individuals on the basis of their identity,” he continued. “I appreciate that Bob recognized that we must do more to support the LGBTQ+ community.” (Read more from “Disney CEO: “Basic Human Right” to Indoctrinate Children With Transgenderism, Homosexuality” HERE)

Woman Considering Euthanasia Discovers She’s Been Misdiagnosed

/0 Comments/in , /by

The story of a Canadian mother of three who was considering doctor-assisted suicide is shining a light on one of the fatal flaws of pro-euthanasia laws.

Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, wrote on his blog that Jennifer Monaghan had been suffering for 17 years with an undiagnosed chronic pain condition and was considering euthanasia under the country’s medical assistance in dying (MAiD) law. However, she changed her mind after finally being correctly diagnosed with a treatable medical condition. She shared her story with Citytv for an upcoming documentary called Veracity: MAiD in Canada. . .

She was in constant pain, but doctors could not figure out why. She began to believe it was in her head and after 17 years, she began to research MAiD to see if she qualified for doctor-assisted suicide. . .

But then, with some hope left, she had one more neurology appointment scheduled when her sleep doctor suggested she try a higher dose of the drug amitriptyline, which is often used to treat narcolepsy. Monaghan met with the neurologist, who saw that she was on this drug. She told him all about her symptoms and he said he knew exactly what was wrong with her.

“Small fiber sensory neuropathy,” said Monaghan. “Basically, my brain is sending signals to different areas of my body, like shocking pain or cold water. It’s my brain reading the signals wrong, [the] pain signals wrong. So my brain thinks there’s all this pain going on, but my brain technically is creating it.” (Read more from “Woman Considering Euthanasia Discovers She’s Been Misdiagnosed” HERE)

Police: Woman Accused of Stabbing Man as Revenge Against US Drone Strike That Killed Iranian Leader

/1 Comment/in , /by

A woman is accused of stabbing a man in the neck on March 5 at a hotel near Las Vegas. The 21-year-old woman said she committed the stabbing as revenge for the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, according to police. . .

Nikoubin allegedly met a man on the dating site Plenty of Fish, then lured him to the Sunset Station Hotel and Casino in Henderson, Nevada. While inside the hotel room, the couple began engaging in sexual activity. Nikoubin put a blindfold on the man, then turned the lights off. Several minutes later, the victim “felt a pain on the side of his neck,” KLAS-TV reported. She reportedly pulled out a knife from her purse and attacked the unsuspecting victim.

The man pushed Nikoubin off of him and then ran out of the 14th-floor hotel room to call the police around 10:30 that night. Nikoubin also ran out of the room, and told a hotel employee that she had just stabbed a man, police said.

Nikoubin allegedly told authorities at the Henderson Police Department that she stabbed the man as revenge for the death of Qassem Soleimani – who was killed during a U.S. Air Force drone strike on Jan. 3, 2020. Soleimani was the leader of Iran’s elite Quds Force.

Texas Judge Halts Child Abuse Investigations of Parents With Transgender Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Texas judge issued a temporary freeze Friday of Gov. Greg Abbott’s order for state officials to conduct child abuse investigations into parents who have provided their transgender child or children with gender-affirming care.

Travis County District Judge Amy Clark Meachum, who ordered the injunction after spending the day listening to oral arguments, called Abbott’s directive “unconstitutional” and an overreach of his power as governor. The injunction is part of a legal fight against the Feb. 22 order. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he will appeal the court’s decision.

“Democrat judge tries to halt legal and necessary investigations into those trying to abuse our kids through ‘trans’ surgeries and prescription drugs. I’m appealing. I’ll win this fight to protect our Texas children,” Paxton, a Republican, said in a tweet Friday evening.

Randa Mulanax, a supervisor for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, testified Friday that investigators were pressed to investigate cases even if there was no evidence of child abuse. The disparity between how these cases are handled compared to others is what made Mulanax decide to resign, according to the Texas Tribune, which noted nine such investigations.

Russia Says Injured Pregnant Woman Is a Crisis Actor. She’s Actually a Pregnant Blogger.

/0 Comments/in , /by

When Russian forces bombed a maternity clinic in the war-torn Ukrainian city of Mariupol on Wednesday, they first insisted the facility was a Ukrainian military outpost and, as such, a fair target in the two-week-old, senseless war.

But on Thursday, the Russian Embassy in the U.K. sought to take things one step further, tweeting out a photo of woman who has become the poster person of the atrocity—a young, blonde, heavily pregnant woman in maternity pajamas, wrapped in a dirty blanket with blood dripping down her face.

The embassy tried to insinuate that the woman—who has been identified as blogger Marianna Podgurskaya, according to one of the many photographers who took her photo crawling out of the rubble, and whose open Instagram account @gixie_beauty has chronicled her pregnancy—was a crisis actor.

“She actually played roles of both pregnant women on the photos,” the Russian embassy tweeted, going on to say the first photo was taken by Evgeniy Maloletka, a freelance photographer and filmmaker who has been risking his life to chronicle the Russian invasion of Ukraine since the beginning—and whom Russia considers a provocateur.

Biden’s NIH Refuses to Answer Questions About University Experiments on Aborted Babies

/0 Comments/in , /by

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) refused to provide answers demanded by lawmakers about fetal tissue research at the University of Pittsburgh, instead pointing to a highly criticized investigation of the school’s regulatory compliance.

In its letter to lawmakers last month, NIH did not provide much of the information requested by nearly 100 members of Congress last fall. Nor did it indicate it would continue investigating the issue, despite criticisms of the investigation Pitt commissioned from the law firm Hyman, Phelps, and McNamara (HPM). . .

NIH’s response noted its Office of Extramural Research (OER) had “been in discussions with the University of Pittsburgh to determine the veracity of these allegations.”

“The University of Pittsburgh commissioned an independent, third-party firm to review and assess their fetal tissue research processes and practices,” the letter, signed by NIH Acting Principal Deputy Director Tara Schwetz, continued. “This assessment reviewed all of the University of Pittsburgh’s activities related to procurement, disbursement, and use of fetal tissue to determine if they were fully compliant with all applicable laws.” (Read more from “Biden’s NIH Refuses to Answer Questions About University Experiments on Aborted Babies” HERE)

Disgusting: Activists Hosting ‘Sex-Ed Summer Camp’ for Children as Young as 7-Years-Old

/0 Comments/in , /by

A disturbing series of Twitter threads have been circulating lately, highlighting the efforts so-called sex educators will go through to groom children. We’re not merely talking about teenagers here, either, but preteens and younger. Ashley Robertson is looking to charge parents $250 to teach their children in third-fifth grade about sex with an emphasis on “Affirming, non-binary, body-positive, social emotional learning through play!” Though the event page for Eventbrite has since been removed, archived versions and screenshots remain, and as of Wednesday evening, it is still available on All Events Indiana’s web page.

The event runs from June 6-10, from 8am-5pm, amounting to 36 hours of activity and discussions at a “sex-ed summer camp.”

In addition to being charged $250, parents will also be out of that fee should they not attend the orientation on May 28. With original emphasis, the All Events Indiana’s page notes the following about the orientation:

All families participating must attend an orientation May 28th at 10am where we’ll sign behavior agreements, enrollment paperwork, and waivers. If you do not attend, you will not be refunded and your child will not be able to attend camp. Mark your calendars now for ORIENTATION. It is important that trust and complete understanding be established for us to teach this content.

Drag Queen Scheduled to Perform at House Democrats’ Retreat Called Biden ‘Senile’

/0 Comments/in , /by

During the House Democrats’ retreat this week, a Wednesday night reception hosted by Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair Sean Patrick Maloney will include “musical entertainment by Lady Bunny,” according to a copy of the Issues Conference schedule posted by the Daily Caller.

“While her mind may be in the gutter, Lady Bunny’s quick-witted humor is authentic, smart, irreverent, and topical,” a portion of the biography on ladbybunny.net states. “In her disarming honeyed drawl, she astutely skewers political correctness, calls out gentrification outrage, spit-roasts politicians, taunts vaunted celebrities, and schools audiences on the unique legacy of New York City drag.”

The drag performer — whose birth name is Jon Ingle, according to the New York Times — identifies as a “staunch progressive” but has previously been openly critical of Democrats, including President Joe Biden.

“Biden is senile, conservative, accused by 8 women and a frequent liar. It takes a cult of personality to support someone that pitiful,” Lady Bunny tweeted last year.

In January, Lady Bunny commented on the prospect of another Hillary Clinton presidential bid by declaring, “If Dems go this route, they are begging to lose. What will the slogan be? ‘We know Joe’s a corporate hawk and a liar. But unlike Biden, Hillary’s not senile!'” (Read more from “Drag Queen Scheduled to Perform at House Democrats’ Retreat Called Biden ‘Senile’” HERE)

Lawmakers Now Consider Legalizing Letting Babies up to a Month Old Die

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .According to the team of legal experts, “The Maryland legislative session is in full swing, and once again, abortion advocates are pushing their radical abortion agenda. Recently, we told you about the testimony we presented against Maryland House Bill 1171, which is attempting to codify Roe v. Wade in the Maryland constitution. Now, we’re preparing to submit testimony on Maryland Senate Bill 669 – also known as the Pregnant Person’s Freedom Act of 2022.”

That bill, at first glance, looks like it simply changes “woman” to “pregnant person” in its references.

But its provisions to prevent a “pregnant person” from being investigated for “terminating or attempting to terminate” her own pregnancy is where the plan gets lethal.

“The bill also proposes a revision of the fetal murder/manslaughter statute that would serve to handcuff the investigation of infant deaths unrelated to abortion. In other words – this bill will effectively legalize infanticide,” the ACLJ reported.

“The exact language of the bill states: ‘This section may not be construed to authorize any form of investigation or penalty for a person . . . experiencing a . . . perinatal death related to a failure to act.’ (Emphasis added). In other words, a baby born alive and well could be abandoned and left to starve or freeze to death, and nothing could be done to punish those who participated in that cruel death,” the organization’s report explained.

Dems Furious Over Bill Banning Sexual Orientation Discussions for 5 Year Olds

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats and members of the establishment media are falsely claiming that the parental rights bill, passed by the Florida Senate on Tuesday, is “homophobic” and “reprehensible” in nature, despite the fact that it simply states that classroom discussions on sexual orientation or gender identity are prohibited for children kindergarten through third grade.

The Florida Senate passed the Parental Rights in Education bill on Tuesday, triggering further outcry from Democrat and far-left activists, who had falsely labeled the measure the “Don’t Say Gay bill. In actuality, the bill simply prohibits classroom discussions on any sexual orientation or identity for children in kindergarten through third grade. It does not single out any specific word, including the word “gay,” despite the left’s false framing.

“Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards,” the bill’s text reads in part:

Despite that, Democrats are expressing outrage over the measure, which is now sits on Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) desk. Meanwhile, establishment media outlets are continuing to peddle the “Don’t Say Gay” myth in their framing of the news.

The Democrats, specifically, called the bill — banning classroom discussions on sexual orientation from 5-year-olds — a “reprehensible assault on children’s safety, mental health, protection, and freedom”:
