Actor Mario Lopez: ‘Dangerous’ for Children to Choose Their Gender

/0 Comments/in , /by

This past April, actress Charlize Theron confessed that she began treating her seven-year-old adopted son like a girl at the age of three, when he allegedly told her: “I am not a boy.” Now, “Access Hollywood” host Mario Lopez is taking heat on social media for calling Theron’s decision “dangerous.”

According to Pop Culture, Mario Lopez made his comments during an appearance on “The Candace Owens Show” last month, where the two discussed the “weird trend” in Hollywood wherein celebrities are “transitioning” their children at young ages.

“My God, if you’re three years old, I just think it’s dangerous as a parent to make this determination then,” Lopez said on the show. “It’s sort of alarming and my gosh, I just think about the repercussions later on.”

Lopez said that parents need to “be the adult in the situation” when their children do what children usually do: Say confusing things about their own identity. . .

“I’m glad things are coming out into the open … so I know who to never eff with again — like [Mario Lopez] thinking he knows ANYTHING and going on a prejudiced show with an idiot host and criticizing another parent on their child transitioning. Gross. What gives you the right?” said one Twitter user. (Read more from “Actor Mario Lopez: ‘Dangerous’ for Children to Choose Their Gender” HERE)

Angel Moms to Alyssa Milano: Why Don’t You ‘Fight for American Children Raped by Illegal Aliens in Our Country’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Angel Moms Mary Ann Mendoza and Sabine Durden are calling out actress Alyssa Milano over her tearful rant in which she said Border Patrol agents are “destroying” children’s lives by enforcing immigration laws.

Last week, Alyssa Milano broke down on camera after watching footage of a child at the U.S.-Mexico border being reunited with the adult she came to the country with, as Breitbart News reported. . .

“We can’t let this be the new normal,” she continued. “Besides what this country was founded on — this is not innately who we are as human beings. We’ve gotta take inventory of this, of what’s happening, and the humanitarian crisis at the border. We gotta do something. We can’t ignore what’s happening. We can’t allow it to continue.”

Mendoza — who lost her son, 32-year-old police officer son Brandon Mendoza, when he was killed by a drunk illegal alien who was driving the wrong way down a highway in Mesa, Arizona in May 2014 — told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement that Milano has never shed a tear for the children trafficked across the southern border by human smugglers or the American children hurt by illegal immigration. . .

“You can’t be concerned for a handful being separated for a short time as things are sorted out and not be concerned for the sexually abused, recycled children flooding our borders arriving with men and women with ill intentions,” Mendoza continued. “Alyssa is a hypocrite and is doing this to further incite hate towards our President. If she is truly concerned about the children, fight for the American children being raped by illegal aliens in our country. Put your boots on and leave your home and go work at the borders with our Border Patrol agents for a week.

He’s Caught Stealing American Flag from Business. but the Owner — a Veteran and Former Cop — Has a Better Idea Than an Arrest.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A 19-year-old teen was caught on surveillance video stealing an American flag from a Missouri business early Thursday morning — but Bill Hoaglin, the owner of Beacon Car & Pet Wash, had a better idea in mind than an arrest, KTVI-TV reported. . .

Hoaglin posted the surveillance footage on Facebook, which led to people identifying Keaton Chandler, the station said. . .

Hoaglin told the outlet that Chandler offered to return the flag if Hoaglin removed the Facebook footage. But Hoaglin, a former cop of 18 years who specialized in community issues, offered Chandler a deal: Return the flag and avoid criminal charges by carrying out a symbolic punishment, Yahoo Lifestyle said.

“I sent my daughter to Walmart to purchase more than 150 miniature American flags for Keaton to pass out to customers,” Hoaglin added to the outlet. . .

For nearly five hours Chandler distributed every single flag to customers, Yahoo Lifestyle reported, adding that Hoaglin noted that Chandler “said he would do whatever it takes.” (Read more from “He’s Caught Stealing American Flag from Business. but the Owner — a Veteran and Former Cop — Has a Better Idea Than an Arrest.” HERE)

Ex-Pastor Popular Author Says He Can No Longer Call Himself a ‘Christian’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The author of the influential Christian book “I Kissed Dating Goodbye,” who recently announced that he and his wife are separating, now says he can no longer call himself a Christian by “all the measurements” he has for defining the term.

Former pastor Josh Harris, who has previously denounced aspects of his popular courtship series, made the declaration in an Instagram post on Saturday featuring a photo of himself looking out at Joffre Lakes Provincial Park. In the post, Harris tells his followers that his earlier announcement about the decision to get a divorce left out a key piece of information: he no longer identifies as a Christian. The statement also includes an apology to members of the LGBT community.

“My heart is full of gratitude. I wish you could see all the messages people sent me after the announcement of my divorce. They are expressions of love though they are saddened or even strongly disapprove of the decision,” Harris begins. “I am learning that no group has the market cornered on grace. This week I’ve received grace from Christians, atheists, evangelicals, exvangelicals, straight people, LGBTQ people, and everyone in-between. Of course there have also been strong words of rebuke from religious people. While not always pleasant, I know they are seeking to love me. (There have also been spiteful, hateful comments that angered and hurt me.)⁣⁣”

Harris then arrives at his big reveal about having “deconstructed” his faith. “The information that was left out of our announcement is that I have undergone a massive shift in regard to my faith in Jesus,” he explains. “The popular phrase for this is ‘deconstruction,’ the biblical phrase is ‘falling away.’ By all the measurements that I have for defining a Christian, I am not a Christian. Many people tell me that there is a different way to practice faith and I want to remain open to this, but I’m not there now.⁣⁣” (Read more from “Ex-Pastor Popular Author Says He Can No Longer Call Himself a ‘Christian’” HERE)

State’s Assisted Suicide Law to Allow Terminally Ill Patients ‘Right to Die’

/0 Comments/in , /by

New Jersey’s assisted suicide law goes into effect Thursday, allowing terminally ill patients to request a prescription from their doctors that would aid in ending their lives.

The law, which took eight years to pass in the state until Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy signed it in April, allows New Jersey residents with a terminal, incurable diagnosis that would end the person’s life in six months to request a prescription medication that would end their lives.

Patients would be required to ask their doctor twice in 15 days and submit a written request witnessed by two people stating that they are “fully informed” of alternatives, including palliative care and pain control. . .

The law is gaining momentum in several states— including Oregon, Washington, California, Vermont, Hawaii, and Colorado— and state health department records show that 3,478 people have died using assisted suicide methods since the law was passed. . .

“Physician-assisted suicide is fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer, would be difficult or impossible to control, and would pose serious societal risks,” the American Medical Association (AMA) wrote in May.

Ilhan Omar Splits From Second Husband as Questions About Marital History Heats Up

/0 Comments/in , /by

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has reportedly split from her second husband and is headed for divorce as questions continue to mount about her marital history, according to the exclusive reporting of The Daily Mail.

“The bust-up comes just as critics are demanding answers as to whether she married her own brother in a successful bid to get him into the United States,” The Daily Mail reported. “Omar has now dumped her current husband Ahmed Hirsi – who she first married in a religious ceremony in 2002 and divorced in 2008 – and moved into a penthouse apartment in one of Minneapolis’s trendiest neighborhoods, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.” . . .

The Daily Mail says that they were told by a family friend that Hirsi only goes to Omar’s home “when Ilhan is in DC.” . . .

Earlier this week Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint to David Skaggs, Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Office of Congressional Ethics, “calling for a full investigation into potential crimes tied to allegations that Rep. Ilhan Omar may have married her biological brother.” . . .

The allegations recently resurfaced and have started to gain traction in the media after the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board ordered Omar “to repay her state House campaign committee nearly $3,500 in funds used in violation of law, as well as pay to the state a $500 civil penalty,” The Hill reported. “But the report issued by the board also revealed that Omar and her current husband Ahmed Hirsi filed joint tax returns in 2014 and 2015, while Omar was still legally married to another man, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar Splits From Second Husband as Questions About Marital History Heats Up” HERE)

SEAL Team 6 Member Charged With Impersonating People to Get Nude Pics

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Navy SEAL Team 6 member who was named Sailor of the Year in 2016 has been charged with impersonating other people via text to get nude pictures of women, according to a report.

Petty Officer 1st Class Aaron Howard faces a general court-martial for the allegations, The Virginian-Pilot reported Friday, citing charge documents.

Howard’s civil defense attorney, Michael Waddington, told the paper that the Navy did not find the alleged photos on Howard’s phone. . .

On Wednesday, a Navy SEAL platoon from San Diego was ordered back to the U.S. from Iraq for the members’ refusal to cooperate with an investigation into alleged sexual assault and reports of drinking alcohol while deployed.

And earlier this month, a weekslong trial concluded for Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher, who had been charged with murder and attempted murder in the killing of a teenage ISIS member in Iraq. (A jury eventually found Gallagher not guilty.) (Read more from “SEAL Team 6 Member Charged With Impersonating People to Get Nude Pics” HERE)

Sign of the Times: Seattle Adults Pay Money to Pretend to Be Children for a Day

/0 Comments/in , /by

From the progressive city of Seattle comes an invitation for grown adults to regress back into childhood for a day at the park. On Saturday, August 3, Center Stage Event Marketing invites grown-ups to ditch their kids, forget their phones, and attend “Adult Recess” for a seven hour event where folks are welcome to act like they are a kid again. . .

The Seattle Times reports that portions of the event will benefit the Ronald McDonald House, but that the main purpose of the day is “to create an event that dropped attendees straight into their elementary-school playground — with the addition of beer. ”

Likewise, “The event will go beyond the physical activities surrounding recess. There will be ’80s and ’90s music, and food trucks with childhood favorites — peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, mac and cheese, and ice cream.” . . .

Far be it for me to judge how any grown adult spends his or her time. This is America and they can do whatever they want. But it is little concerning as a society that there are full-on camps for adults to pretend to be like children. Isn’t there a responsibility for adults to not act like children, let alone pay to pretend to be one, so that the next generation can have role models? Furthermore, isn’t this idea purely self-centered? Rather than take children, your own or other kids, to go and enjoy the wonders of life — grownups are paying to play make-believe that they can simply shirk adulthood? Wouldn’t it be better to experience “nostalgia” to teach boys and girls the games that you played growing up? Again, people can spend their money how they want to, but it sure seems like this is a defining mark of an unserious country filled with unserious people.

New ‘Suicide Pod’ Unveiled, Has a Detachable Coffin

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the near future, people may be able to step inside of an all-inclusive suicide pod that not only gets the deadly job done but also provides the very capsule in which people can be buried.

According to LifeNews, Australian euthanasia activist Dr. Philip Nitschke, a.k.a. “Dr Death,” recently unveiled his 3D printed suicide capsule that comes with a coffin.

“The death pod, also referred to as a ‘glorified gas chamber’ was first envisioned in 2012,” reports the outlet. “It contains canisters of liquid nitrogen which is released when activated by the person inside the capsule within the pod, causing oxygen levels to plummet to very low levels and starving the individual of the air he or she needs, causing their death. The capsule is then detached from the pod and serves as a coffin for the occupant.”

The capsule was unveiled at the “Disrupting Death” workshop in Queensland, Australia, and promised people that it will kill them with “style and euphoria,” with Nitschke claiming that people will experience an “elegant almost euphoric” death when using the pod.

“The idea of using a machine to have absolute control really has been a long-term interest of mine,” he told Exit International. “So, a person can, with minimal involvement, get into the machine and press a button for a very peaceful, elegant almost-euphoric death.” (Read more from “New ‘Suicide Pod’ Unveiled, Has a Detachable Coffin” HERE)

Politifact’s ‘Fact Check’ on AOC Crying in Front of ‘Empty Parking Lot’ Is Utterly Hilarious

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Politifact is at it again! The left-wing fact-checker purporting to be unbiased made a mockery of themselves (again) with their latest rating concerning socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Politifact, creating their best damage control for the freshman congresswoman, rated the claim that Ocasio-Cortez cried in front of an empty parking lot for a photo-op as “false” because it was, in fact, a “road” with some parked cars, not a parking lot, that the elected Democrat cried in front of. . .

The Internet was not on the same page, and it got worse from there for the 29-year-old. When more photos came to light, it appeared she was crying in front of an empty driveway area where cars were parked. There were no migrants in AOC’s view, it appeared. As one might imagine, the mockery of AOC then hit fever pitch. . .

But thank goodness for the likes of nonpartisan fact-checkers like Politifact to set us all straight.

“No, this isn’t a photo of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez crying over a parking lot,” reported Politifact.

“Photographers at the scene who took photos of Ocasio-Cortez say she was not facing a parking lot,” the fact-checker’s “ruling” said. “Rather she was just beyond the toll plaza for the Tornillo facility, and she standing on a road that led to the Tornillo tent complex, which was in the line of her gaze, as she stood at the fence. Pictures by other outlets also confirm the location.” (Read more from “Politifact’s ‘Fact Check’ on AOC Crying in Front of ‘Empty Parking Lot’ Is Utterly Hilarious” HERE)
