State Determines Convicted Child Molester No Longer a Threat Due to Sex Change

/0 Comments/in , /by

Officials in Iowa have determined a convicted child molester is to be released from incarceration, explaining that the offender’s reduction in testosterone levels from their transition from being a man to becoming a transgender female puts the individual at a lower risk of re-offending. . .

The Storm Lake Times first reported Jan. 15 that the Iowa Attorney General’s Office is no longer seeking the commitment of 23-year-old felon Josie Smith, who was put away after being convicted of molesting a fellow Midwest Christian Services student in 2014 when Smith was a man with the given name Joseph Matthew Smith.

The Times previously reported in November that Smith was “undergoing medical treatment that is needed prior to (Smith) potentially undergoing gender reassignment surgery.” Smith now identifies as a woman and goes by the name Josie Smith.

Now, Lynn Hicks, a spokesperson for the AG’s office says, “We don’t believe we have evidence sufficient to prove Josie Smith has a significant change of reoffending,” explaining that “an offender’s hormone levels are an important part of substantiating an offender’s likelihood of recidivism.”

Hicks also argued that the public should not “overreact” regarding the release, saying, “Josie Smith will be subject to strict sex-offender reporting requirements of those who commit the crimes she did. She’ll be subject to supervision for the rest of her life.” (Read more from “State Determines Convicted Child Molester No Longer a Threat Due to Sex Change” HERE)

In the teaser for the ad campaign, which the New York-based company posted on its YouTube channel last week, Miz Cracker clumsily attempts to put a football helmet on over her sizable wig.

“I hope this doesn’t give me helmet hair,” she says, while Kim Chi looks on skeptically. . .

Bob Witeck, a longtime marketing strategist who specializes in reaching LGBTQ audiences, called Sabra’s drag ad “revolutionary.” (Read more from “Insanity: Drag Queens Will Be Featured for the First Time in a Super Bowl Ad (VIDEO)” HERE)

Public School Reportedly Forcing Far-Left Ideas of Gender ‘Choice’ on Preschool Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

A stunning new report from the New York Post highlights what appears to be a very troubling agenda in one of New York City’s taxpayer-funded public preschools: Encouraging children to choose their genders. . .

The Post’s Andrea Peyser revealed Monday night that one Brooklyn “nursery” — AKA a preschool — is teaching “racism and victimhood, plus transgender and ‘queer’ rights,” coupled with a “heavy dose of political indoctrination in the mix.”

Peyser wrote that teacher Rosy Clark at PS 58 sent an email to parents and guardians Jan. 16 in which she laid out a lesson plan to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day and to usher in Black History Month, which is in February. . .

One such topic apparently close to Clark’s heart included Principle 6 of the Movement for Black Lives, which encourages “transgender affirming.”

“Everybody has the right to choose their own gender by listening to their own heart and mind,” Clark added. “Everyone gets to choose if they are a boy or girl or both or neither or something else, and no one gets to choose for them.”

Dad Questions ‘Gender-Identity’ Training, Banned From Hockey Coaching

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Canadian youth hockey coach of 3 years says he has barred from assisting his son’s team on the bench as a result of his unwillingness to participate in league-mandated gender identity training.

“I can’t coach,” the father, identified only as “John Doe” over fears that he would be accused of “transphobia” for speaking to the media, told Quillette. . .

According to the outlet, major legal and regulatory changes have come to Canadian youth hockey in recent years as a result of coaching abuse scandals. The father was keen on a number of the actions taken, and educational efforts made, to protect the nation’s youth athletes.

That is, until he discovered one such educational effort — what Quillette referred to as a “mandatory gender identity training course” — was vested almost entirely in the “ideological,” rather than the scientific and practical. . .

A broad, deeply progressive “free-form gender-studies seminar” on topics ranging from the oppressive colonial history of the “gender binary” to the wide array of genders now deemed mainstream by left-wing cultural orthodoxy, Quillette reported.

Should Talking About Sports At Work Be Banned Because It Could Offend Women? One Expert Thinks So

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Chartered Management Institute head Ann Francke isn’t a big fan of talking about sports in a professional setting, and she made that crystal clear during an interview with the BBC. Two examples BBC mentioned are soccer and cricket.

“A lot of women, in particular, feel left out. They don’t follow those sports and they don’t like either being forced to talk about them or not being included,” Francke explained. . .

“It’s a gateway to more laddish behavior and – if it just goes unchecked – it’s a signal of a more laddish culture. It’s very easy for it to escalate from VAR talk and chat to slapping each other on the back and talking about their conquests at the weekend,” Franke added. . .

This attitude right here is why America has to bail out England whenever the wind blows too hard. Stop talking about sports in the office? (Read more from “Should Talking About Sports At Work Be Banned Because It Could Offend Women? One Expert Thinks So” HERE)

A naked man was arrested in Arkansas after attempting to force his way onto a school bus with several children onboard. . .

The bus driver with the Vilonia School District told police that he saw the naked man heading towards the bus so he locked the doors. When the man tried to pry open the doors on the bus, the driver said he kicked his fingers.

Maumelle police said that the man tried to resist arrest when they arrived, but that they were able to arrest him with the assistance of a bystander. Several bystanders had chased him and were yelling at him. . .

They said that they found his belongings outside the entrance of a nearby hotel. They found prescription drugs and what they believe was a baggie of marijuana. They also found his two dogs, which were handed off to Maumelle Animal Services.

Police say Stegman denied being on drugs, but he was sent to a hospital for evaluation. (Read more from “A Naked Man Tried to Force His Way Onto a School Bus Full of Children” HERE)

Former NBA star Kobe Bryant is dead after his private helicopter crashed near Calabasas, California, killing everyone on board.

Bryant, 41, was traveling from Newport Beach, California, to the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles in his Sikorsky S-76 chopper when the aircraft caught fire, according to TMZ. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department warned people to avoid the area as authorities work to address the scene.

The former player’s 13-year-old daughter Gianna, was also aboard the helicopter and died in the crash. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva confirmed in a press conference Sunday afternoon that nine people were killed in the accident, including the pilot. He declined to confirm any names of the victims until the coroner notified their families.

The county’s Fire Chief Daryl Osby confirmed that the helicopter crash started a brush fire that covered a quarter acre. He explained that emergency responders were hoisted down to the crash site to search for survivors while firefighters on the ground worked to put out the brush fire surrounding the helicopter ruins.

Trump: First President in History to Speak at the March for Life

/0 Comments/in , /by

By CNN. On Friday, Donald Trump became the first President to speak in person at the March for Life in Washington. This is a really big deal.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of pro-life demonstrators come together in our nation’s capital to commemorate the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s wrongly decided Roe v. Wade decision and demand political action that would protect the right to life for the unborn. Now in its 47th year, the march has become the premier event of the pro-life movement.

Trump’s historic appearance was a boon for marchers, as it helped draw increased attention to the event and highlight the pro-life movement’s considerable political success in recent years. It also presents an enormous opportunity for him to reach the many Americans who are on the fence about abortion by drawing a contrast with the extreme positions of his 2020 Democrat opponents.

Trump at March for Life: ‘We Are Fighting for Those Who Have No Voice and We Will Win’

By Daily Wire. President Donald Trump gave a rousing speech to tens of thousands of pro-life advocates at the March for Life on Friday in Washington, D.C., declaring that the pro-life movement is going to win in its fight to protect the lives of the unborn.

The president noted his administration’s record in defending human life, from the numerous federal judges that he has appointed to reinstating the Mexico City policy, which blocks U.S. taxpayer money from being sent to foreign organizations that promote or engage in providing abortions.

“Sadly, the far-left is actively working to erase our God-given rights, shut down faith-based charities, ban religious believers from the public square, and silenced Americans who believe in the sanctity of life,” Trump said. “They are coming after me because I am fighting for you and we are fighting for those who have no voice and we will win because we know how to win.”

“Together we are the voice for the voiceless, when it comes to abortion Democrats, and you know this, you’ve seen what’s happened, Democrats have embraced the most radical and extreme positions taken and seen in this country for years and decades and you could even say for centuries,” Trump continued. “Nearly every top Democrat in Congress now supports taxpayer-funded abortion all the way up until the moment of birth.”

“Last year lawmakers in New York cheered with the light upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb right up until delivery,” Trump continued. “Then we had the case of the Democrat governor in the state of Virginia, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and we love the Commonwealth of Virginia, but what is going on in Virginia? What is going on? The governor stated that he would execute a baby after birth, you remember that.” (Read more from “Trump at March for Life: ‘We Are Fighting for Those Who Have No Voice and We Will Win’” HERE)

Sports Outlet Calls Trans MMA Fighter ‘Bravest Athlete in History’ for Fighting Women as a Biological Male

/2 Comments/in , /by

An opinion columnist for the LGBTQ sports media outlet Outsports called transgender mixed martial arts fighter Fallon Fox the “bravest athlete in history” in a recent article. Fox is a biological male who fights women.

Fox came out as transgender in 2013 and was predictably criticized for attempting to compete in violent physical combat with women as a biological male who only identifies as a woman. . .

One of the women Fox defeated in a fight, Tamikka Brents, said afterward that there was a noticeable difference between fighting Fox and fighting a woman. Brents suffered a concussion and suffered several broken orbital bones during the loss. . .

Fox has undergone both hormone replacement therapy and gender transition surgery. Fox said because he no longer has testicles, he has lower testosterone than most women he fights, putting him at a disadvantage.

Almost Two-Thirds of Americans Will Back Candidates Who Support Abortion Bans or Restrictions

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than half of Americans say they are more likely to favor candidates in 2020 who support abortion restrictions ranging from an outright ban up to allowing the procedure only in the first trimester, a new poll has found.

The Marist poll, which was commissioned by the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic organization, found that 65% of Americans are likely to vote for a candidate who believes abortion should be outlawed after the first three months of a pregnancy; allowed only in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother; or not permitted under any circumstance.

Twenty-five percent said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who believes abortion should be available at any point during a pregnancy, and 9% said they would back a candidate who thinks the procedure should be allowed only in the first six months of a pregnancy.

When it comes to how Americans characterize their views on abortion, 55% consider themselves pro-choice and 40% say they are pro-life. Public attitudes abortion have diverged in the last year, as a February 2019 poll found Americans were as likely to consider themselves pro-life — 47% — as they were pro-choice.

The survey also found that seven in 10 Americans support limiting abortion to the first trimester of a pregnancy. Twenty-one percent believe the procedure should be available to a woman at any point during her pregnancy.
