This Tampon CEO Is Erasing Her Customers by Calling Women ‘Menstruators’

/0 Comments/in , /by

At only 25, Nadya Okamoto has already been on the Forbes 30 for 30 list and is the CEO of a feminine hygiene company, August. . .

And I’d like to say, sincerely: You go, menstruator!

Sound ridiculous and dehumanizing? I’m simply borrowing Okamoto’s own parlance.

This week, the August CEO appeared on a “CBS Mornings” segment to talk about August — but she excluded and demeaned her lone customer base: women.

Throughout the interview, Okamoto repeatedly referred to females as “menstruators” — reducing 50% of the world’s population to one, albeit one very important, function of our bodies. (Read more from “This Tampon CEO Is Erasing Her Customers by Calling Women ‘Menstruators’” HERE)

Joe Biden Is a Cruel Hypocrite About His 4-Year-Old Granddaughter

/0 Comments/in , /by

Frequently photographed with an ice cream cone affixed to his hand, Joe Biden comes across as the quintessential grandpa — like he’s got a pocket full of Werther’s and folksy advice to impart.

On Father’s Day, Biden said that “family is life’s greatest blessing and responsibility.” . . .

But there is a joke here. A sick one.

It’s how Biden treats his seventh grandkid — a 4-year-old girl in Arkansas, who the Bidens have systematically erased from their family tree.

The president has never publicly acknowledged Navy Joan Roberts, the little girl his son Hunter fathered with Lunden Roberts, a college hoops player turned Washington, DC, stripper. (Read more from “Joe Biden Is a Cruel Hypocrite About His 4-Year-Old Granddaughter” HERE)

BBC Suspends Male Presenter Over Claims He Paid Teenager for Sexually Explicit Photos

/0 Comments/in , /by

The BBC said Sunday that it has suspended a leading presenter who is alleged to have paid a teenager for sexually explicit photos.

As senior British politicians urged a rapid investigation, the broadcaster said it was working to establish the facts of “a complex and fast-moving set of circumstances.”

The U.K.’s publicly funded national broadcaster was scrambling to head off a worsening crisis after The Sun newspaper reported allegations that the male presenter gave a youth 35,000 pounds ($45,000) starting in 2020 when the young person was 17.

Governor Poised to Sign Bill Allowing Elective Abortions up Until Birth

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Maine may soon allow elective abortions up until birth, pending final approval from the state’s governor.

The bill — H.P. 1044, An Act to Improve Maine’s Reproductive Privacy Laws — would allow a woman to receive a late-term abortion at any point if it is determined to be “necessary” by a doctor.

It’s likely the legislation will be codified. Maine Governor Janet Mills, a Democrat, introduced the bill in January alongside legislative leadership, both also Democrats: House Speaker Rachel Talbot Ross and Senate President Troy Jackson. At the time, Mills credited the case of Maine woman Dana Peirce as justification for the expanded legalization of abortion.

At eight months pregnant, Peirce wanted to abort her unborn son after he was diagnosed with a genetic mutation called lethal skeletal dysplasia, as reported by the Portland Press Herald. Peirce ultimately traveled to Colorado for an abortion because Maine law prohibits post-viability abortions where the mother’s life or health are not jeopardized. The law does allow elective abortions up to viability, generally recognized at 24 weeks.

Bill de Blasio Wondered if Marrying a Self-Identified Lesbian Meant There Was a ‘Time Bomb Ticking’ in His Marriage

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and his wife, Chirlane McCray, announced on Wednesday that they are separating after nearly 30 years of marriage.

In an interview with the New York Times, the couple cited de Blasio’s ill-fated 2020 presidential campaign and his seven-year tenure as mayor for putting a strain on the relationship.

And de Blasio noted that he had some initial doubts about the pairing — given that McCray had once publicly identified herself as a lesbian.

“For the guy who took the chance on a woman who was an out lesbian and wrote an article called ‘I Am a Lesbian,'” de Blasio told The Times, “there was a part of me that would at times say, ‘Hmmm, is this like a time bomb ticking? Is this something that you’re going to regret later on?’ So I always lived with that stuff.”

McCray wrote that article for ESSENCE Magazine in 1979, over a decade before she met de Blasio when they both worked for former Mayor David Dinkins. (Read more from “Bill de Blasio Wondered if Marrying a Self-Identified Lesbian Meant There Was a ‘Time Bomb Ticking’ in His Marriage” HERE)

Ben & Jerry’s Posts Anti-American Message on July 4th; Critics Blast Their Hypocrisy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream posted an anti-American message on social media as the nation celebrated its 247th birthday Tuesday.

“Ah, the Fourth of July,” the company claimed in a statement. “Who doesn’t love a good parade, some tasty barbecue, and a stirring fireworks display? The only problem with all that, though, is that it can distract from an essential truth about this nation’s birth: The US was founded on stolen Indigenous land.”

“The U.S. exists on stolen land,” the statement later added. “We have to acknowledge that—today and every day.” . . .

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) tweeted: “Ben & Jerry’s, your once-good ice cream now sucks. You just guaranteed that I (a once-loyal customer) will never again consume a single pint of it.”

“When you suggest ‘returning’ the land on which our country has been built for centuries, what exactly do you imagine?” he continued. “Expungement of property rights? Repatriation of most Americans to Europe?” (Read more from “Ben & Jerry’s Posts Anti-American Message on July 4th; Critics Blast Their Hypocrisy” HERE)

Woman Reportedly Disinvites Conservative Uncle From Her Wedding, Then Is Shocked at the Consequences

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .A woman’s conservative uncle was allegedly still expected to gift her money despite being uninvited from her wedding.

The brazen bride’s mother wrote to the “Ask Amy” column of the Chicago Tribune after experiencing the consequences of acting as her daughter’s mouthpiece.

The apparently politically progressive bride told her mother that her uncle, known to the daughter as “Uncle Dave,” caused her to “feel unsafe.” She requested her mother not invite Uncle Dave due to their political differences.

The mother explained she thought her daughter and Uncle Dave “always had a good relationship” despite his support of “candidates we all abhor.” Uncle Dave was describe to have “always been very nice,” and the mother was surprised by the sudden animus toward him. She, however, ultimately honored her daughter’s request. . .

“In short: Brides who are too afraid of family members to invite them to a family wedding don’t then get the pleasure of receiving their money,” the columnist responded. (Read more from “Woman Reportedly Disinvites Conservative Uncle From Her Wedding, Then Is Shocked at the Consequences” HERE)

Mystery Deepens: Man Found Alive 8 Years After Vanishing as a Teen Is ‘Nonverbal’ but Still Wearing Dead Brother’s Pendant

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 25-year-old missing Houston man who was found alive after disappearing in 2015 was still wearing his dead brother’s necklace when he was found last week — and is currently nonverbal and recovering in the hospital, his family says.

Rudy Farias, who disappeared in 2015 while walking his dogs, was miraculously found beaten and bruised Thursday by a Good Samaritan who called 911 according to his mother, Janie Santana.

“My son Rudy is receiving the care he needs to overcome his trauma, but at this time, he is nonverbal and not able to communicate with us,” Santana said in a statement to The Post provided by the Texas Center for the Missing.

“We are asking for privacy during this difficult time but will share more details as Rudy continues to heal,” she said, adding the family does not have any additional details about the case or where Farias has been for eight years.

Farias was 17 when he mysteriously disappeared near his family’s home. (Read more from “Mystery Deepens: Man Found Alive 8 Years After Vanishing as a Teen Is ‘Nonverbal’ but Still Wearing Dead Brother’s Pendant” HERE)

A Record-High Share of 40-Year-Olds in the U.S. Have Never Been Married

/0 Comments/in , /by

As of 2021, 25% of 40-year-olds in the United States had never been married. This was a significant increase from 20% in 2010, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data.

Marriage has long been a central institution in the lives of Americans. In 1980, just 6% of 40-year-olds had never been married. But people born from the 1960s onward have been increasingly delaying marriage, and a growing share are forgoing it altogether.

The 2021 data marks a new milestone in that decadeslong trend.

While many unmarried 40-year-olds are living with a romantic partner, most are not. In 2022, 22% of never-married adults ages 40 to 44 were cohabiting. (Read more from “A Record-High Share of 40-Year-Olds in the U.S. Have Never Been Married” HERE)

Gay Couple Wanted Surrogate Mother With Grim Cancer Diagnosis to Abort Their Baby, Demanded ‘Death Certificate’ if Premature Baby Was Born Alive: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

A disturbing report from the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network suggested that a gay couple in California wanted the surrogate mother carrying their child to abort after the woman was given a grim cancer diagnosis.

According to CBC president and founder Jennifer Lahl, the unnamed woman agreed to carry a child for an unidentified gay couple in California. The woman is a married mother of four who had already volunteered to be a surrogate mother once before and had a good experience, so she decided to try and help again.

This time, the experience went horribly wrong, starting when she was about 24 weeks along. At that point, according to the woman’s aunt, she received a “very very bad” breast cancer diagnosis. The cancer had metastasized so aggressively that those treating her advised her to abort the baby because she needed medicine that was not safe for an unborn child.

The woman refused an abortion and actively sought a hospital which would allow her to deliver the baby early so that she could begin treatment for the cancer. However, California law — which refers to surrogate mothers as “gestational carriers” — considers the “intended parents” the child’s parents and states unequivocally that “the surrogate, and the surrogate’s spouse or partner, is not a parent of, and has no parental rights or duties with respect to, the child or children.”

The gay “intended parents” in this case reportedly wanted the surrogate to abort the baby. They did not want the baby to be born early because the baby would likely require intense medical care and may have continued severe medical needs throughout his or her life. They also did not want anyone else adopting the child, even the surrogate herself, because they did not want their “DNA out there” being raised by someone else.
