/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Georgia restaurant has found itself at the center of a viral controversy after a couple complained about being hit with a $50 surcharge at the establishment for their children’s alleged “loud” behavior.

A Reddit post showing Toccoa Riverside Restaurant’s posted rules blew up last week, with thousands of commenters stunned at the strict gratuity requirements. . .

After dessert, some of the parents took their children down to the water near the restaurant, Landmann recounted. That’s when Toccoa’s owner, Tim Richter, approached their table to allegedly berate the adults for their parenting skills.

“He has the menu in hand and he’s showing us where it talks about the fee,” Landmann recalls. “At first I thought he was gonna compliment us and be like, ‘But you won’t be charged because your kids were so well-behaved.’”

However, Richter informed them of an extra $50 charge and apparently yelled at them. (Read more from “Parents Stunned After Restaurant Hits Them With This $50 Surcharge” HERE)

Church Hosts ‘Drag Gospel Worship’ Service Amid Governor’s Ongoing Battle Against Drag for Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

Allendale United Methodist Church (AUMC) in St. Petersburg, Florida, hosted a “drag worship” service Sunday amid an ongoing battle in the state over drag shows for kids.

Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law in May that authorizes the government to fine or suspend the licenses of businesses that violate a prohibition against drag shows with children present. In October, an appeals court barred the law from taking effect, citing first amendment concerns. Florida has asked the Supreme Court to reinstate the ban, saying the injunction, “exceeded the district court’s remedial authority.”

The “Drag Gospel Worship” featured several drag queens, including one who appeared to be dressed up as Jesus Christ, according to video of the service. One drag queen featured in the service, known as “Momma Ashley Rose,” founded the Rose Dynasty Foundation, which raises money for charities with an LGBT focus through “variety shows, carnivals, and children’s shows.”

“Drag, as an art form, is a grand celebration of human creativity and diversity. It embodies the qualities of love, grace, and acceptance that we, as a community, are striving to manifest,” an AUMC program reads. “It’s an unapologetic proclamation that everyone is deserving of love and a place in this world. This display of resilience and courage is an expression of our commitment to honor the sacred worth of all people — regardless of race, sexuality, gender, or background.” (Read more from “Church Hosts ‘Drag Gospel Worship’ Service Amid Governor’s Ongoing Battle Against Drag for Kids” HERE)

Report: Female Jiu-Jitsu Contestants Quit Tournament After Being Forced to Fight Males (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

According to a report, women are abandoning the North American Grappling Association (NAGA) Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament after being forced to compete against male-born transgender opponents.

Female-born athletes are up in arms after male-born “transgender” competitor Corissa Griffith took home four gold medals at a tournament in Georgia on Oct. 21, and they are responding in force, Reduxx reports.

The issue has been roiling Brazilian Jiu-Jitzu since Sept. when female competitor Taelor Moore told fans how upset she was to be suddenly confronted by a male-born opponent without being told beforehand.

California athlete Taelor Moore faced the transgender opponent on Sept. 9 and posted the video to her Instagram page with the caption, “I weighed in at 135 … and she was over 200!”

Moore’s video shows her opponent, James McPike, 29, who recently began going by the name “Alice,” seeming to throw Moore around the mats easily. (Read more from “Report: Female Jiu-Jitsu Contestants Quit Tournament After Being Forced to Fight Males” HERE)

Veterans Administration Now Aborting Babies, Has Performed Dozens of Procedures

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Veterans Affairs provided 88 abortions in the first year that it offered the procedure, according to a document sent to Congress this month that was obtained by Military.com.

The number was given to the House Veterans Affairs Committee after the Republican-led panel threatened to subpoena the VA if it did not provide detailed data on the abortions it has provided.

While the department gave the committee top-line figures of how many abortions it performed, it declined to provide any more detailed data, citing privacy concerns — prompting committee leaders to renew their subpoena threat.

The VA began offering abortions for the first time in September 2022 after states banned or severely restricted the procedure in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The ruling overturned 50 years of nationwide abortion rights granted by Roe v. Wade.

State Says High Schoolers Can Graduate Without Knowing Math, Reading

/0 Comments/in , , /by

High school students in one state have been relieved, by state officials, of the responsibility to document their understanding of math in order to graduate. . .

The stunning free-for-all has developed in Oregon, where the state Board of Education has decided – unanimously – that a pause on those “controversial” graduation requirements will be extended at least until 2029, according to a report from Oregon Live.

The vote disregarded the wishes of Oregon voters who submitted dozens of public comments asking that the standards be restored.

The requirements originally were lifted as part of the state’s schemes to deal with COVID-19.

State Department of Education officials claimed that documenting proficiency, such as through a standardized test or other ways, “was a harmful hurdle for historically marginalized students, a misuse of state tests and did not translate to meaningful improvements in students’ post high school success,” the report explained.

Aaron Rodgers Mocks Anthony Fauci: ‘If Science Is Dr. Fauci, You’re Damn Right I’m Defying Science’

/0 Comments/in , /by

NFL quarterback and Super Bowl Champion Aaron Rodgers continued his seemingly never ending troll of big pharma by mocking Dr. Anthony Fauci as a representative of science.

Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, was on the receiving end of Rodgers’ latest jab at establishment figures.

Speaking on “The Pat McAfee Show,” where Rodgers now routinely provides his most news-worthy quotes, host Pat McAfee declared that Rodgers “defies science” by returning so quickly from an recent achilles injury.

“That’s what they’re saying about you,” McAfee said. “[Commentator] Shannon Sharpe said this morning—” the host continued, until Rodgers interrupted.

“It’s like we learned, if science is Dr. Fauci, you’re damn right I’m defying science,” the quarterback decried.

Washington Post Torn to Shreds for Defending ‘Peeping’ Biological Male Living at Sorority House

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Washington Post penned a 5,000-word defense for a biological male identifying as a female to live with women at a sorority house at the University of Wyoming. The left-leaning media outlet received a barrage of negative responses for attempting to make excuses for the transgender individual – who has been accused of having an erect penis while “peeping” at sorority sisters.

As Blaze News previously reported, Artemis Langford became the first transgender individual to be accepted into the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority in October 2022. Langford was accepted into the sisterhood with a majority vote by KKG members.

However, some Kappa Kappa Gamma members later revealed that they were pressured into accepting Langford into the sorority because they feared being labeled as “homophobic” or “transphobic.”

In March 2023, several former and current members of Kappa Kappa Gamma filed a lawsuit against Langford. (Read more from “Washington Post Torn to Shreds for Defending ‘Peeping’ Biological Male Living at Sorority House” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A magazine in the United Kingdom and Europe that celebrates LGBTQ issues named trans-identifying male Dylan Mulvaney its “Woman of The Year” at the 2023 annual awards show.

During the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards, which was sponsored by Virgin Atlantic airlines, the host of the awards show proudly announced that the “Woman of the Year” winner was TikTok star Mulvaney.

Mulvaney took the stage and said hello to London before talking about how “honored” he was to be with them.

In his acceptance speech, the social media influencer took a swipe at those who “don’t see me as a woman at all” — and those he labeled “extremist media” who have slammed him — without naming what outlets those were.

Sarah Silverman Slams Socialist Organization After It Blames Israel for Hamas Terrorist Attacks

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sarah Silverman absolutely destroyed the Democratic Socialists of America organization — of which she has been a member — after it blamed Israel for the unprovoked terrorist attacks by Hamas that have killed more than a thousand people.

The 52-year-old actress and comedian blasted the socialist organization on Tuesday in a post on Instagram to her 2 million followers, sharing a screenshot from the DSA National Political Committee that read, “DSA is steadfast in expressing our solidarity with Palestine,” and claimed that the attack was “a direct result of Israel’s apartheid regime — a regime that receives billions in funding from the United States. End the violence. End the Occupation. Free Palestine.”

Silverman responded that she had been a “proud lifetime member” to the organization, but that statement was a bridge too far. She went on to say that the organization has “lost me forever … This is what they felt they needed to post ELEVEN motherf****g HOURS ago.”

[Warning: Instagram post contains explicit language.]

“If you swipe right, you can see my comment, which they deleted,” she added. “Over 1000 slaughtered as of now. Girls raped over the bodies of their friends. These are kids, babies, children, teens, elderly, many of whom like my family march in the streets nightly protesting Netanyahu and the occupation THAT’S WHO HAMAS MURDERED you F***S. Knowing Israel will retaliate — do you get that they don’t give a F*** about Palestinian lives?” (Read more from “Sarah Silverman Slams Socialist Organization After It Blames Israel for Hamas Terrorist Attacks” HERE)

12 Year Old Put Into Induced Coma After Vaping

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 12-year-old girl named Sarah Griffin from Belfast, Northern Ireland, was reportedly admitted to intensive care and placed in a medically induced coma after vaping.

Sarah’s mother, Mary Griffin, is speaking out after the terrifying experience to express support for the new vaping awareness campaign by Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke (NICHS). Mary urged others to take heed of her daughter’s ordeal.

“It was a Sunday night, Sarah was getting ready for bed and said she didn’t feel great. She started coughing but because Sarah has asthma, we put that down to the change in weather as that has been a trigger for Sarah’s asthma before,” Mary said, according to NICHS.

“Her cough was no different from any other time and she used her inhaler and nebulizer throughout the Sunday night into Monday morning,” the mother added. “That morning I was taking my other two children to school when Sarah rang and said, ‘Come back mummy, I don’t feel well, I’m afraid’. I got home, gave Sarah her inhaler and nebuliser [sic] again and she seemed to settle.”

“A while later I popped out to the shop quickly and Sarah rang again, this time completely out of breath, barely able to string a sentence together, saying, ‘I need a doctor or to go to hospital.’”

The little girl was reportedly rushed to the Royal Victoria Hospital. Doctors, concerned about her critically low oxygen levels, immediately transferred her to intensive care, per NICHS. (Read more from “12 Year Old Put Into Induced Coma After Vaping” HERE)
