Big Tech Once Again Censors Pro-Life Group Live Action

/0 Comments/in , /by

In yet another example of Big Tech censoring conservatives and conservative causes, on Thursday, the pro-life group Live Action announced that TikTok had banned their platform from posting advertisements. The organization’s announcement had strong words for the social media outlet, referring to the move as “yet another attempt to silence pro-life speech.” This comes after Lila Rose, the president and founder, was also recently banned from the platform.

What makes censoring Live Action even more problematic is that they refer to themselves as “the only pro-life organization with a large following on the platform, and spreading facts about abortion is vital on that platform specifically.”

The announcement explained that the content is available, for those who search for it. Live Action is, however, blocked from expanding their reach to new viewers who may be persuaded by the pro-life message. as the group looks to reach as many young people as possible.

This is a particularly key demographic that the pro-life movement is trying to reach. “By censoring the most prominent digital pro-life group in America, TikTok and its Big Tech allies are trying to muzzle the pro-life message from reaching young people of reproductive age,” the announcement warned.

Judge Rules Transgender Surgeries Must Be Covered by Medicaid

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge ruled this week that the state of West Virginia must allow transgender patients covered by Medicaid to receive gender transforming surgeries, reasoning that individuals with a gender dysphoria diagnosis must be treated the same as those suffering from other medical conditions.

U.S. District Judge Robert Chambers for the Southern District of West Virginia said it was discriminatory for the state to ban such procedures from Medicaid recipients while allowing others who do not have a gender dysphoria diagnosis to get the same surgeries, such as a mastectomy or vaginoplasty.

Under the state’s policy, a woman with a cancer-related diagnosis could have a mastectomy, but a transgender man with gender dysphoria desiring to have breasts removed could not do so under Medicaid coverage.

The ruling pointed to expert testimony from Dr. Loren Schechter, a Chicago-based plastic surgeon who said a vaginoplasty, or construction of a vagina, could be performed for a transgender patient or for a non-transgender woman suffering from congenital absence of the vagina.

“It is undisputed that the criteria determining whether or not such treatment is covered under the Medicaid Program hinges on a diagnosis — but when treatment is precluded for a diagnosis based on one’s gender identity, such exclusion invidiously discriminates on the basis of sex and transgender status,” Judge Chambers, a Clinton appointee, wrote in Tuesday’s order.

Demi Lovato Shows Why Declaring Pronouns Is Nothing More Than Brainwashed, Agenda-Driven Nonsense

/0 Comments/in , /by

To declare one’s pronouns is stupid. To change them after declaring them is downright asinine.

Singer Demi Lovato announced that she, once again, had changed her pronouns during an interview on the Spout podcast on Tuesday.

“Yeah, so, they/them is, um, I’ve actually adopted the pronouns of she/her again with me,” Lovato said. “So for me, I’m such a fluid person that I don’t really — I don’t find that I am, I felt like, especially last year, my energy was balanced and my masculine and feminine energy so that when I was faced with the choice of walking into a bathroom, and it said ‘Women’ and ‘Men,’ I didn’t feel like there was a bathroom for me because I didn’t feel necessarily like a woman.”

Seriously, can we just start referring to Lovato as “it”? That would simplify everything and eliminate this embarrassingly toxic, privileged nonsense of pronoun declarations. (Read more from “Demi Lovato Shows Why Declaring Pronouns Is Nothing More Than Brainwashed, Agenda-Driven Nonsense” HERE)

No, NYT, the Difference Between Abortion and a Miscarriage Is Not the Mother’s Feelings

/0 Comments/in , /by

There’s been an awful lot of talk about miscarriage in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that had nothing to do with it.

As the pro-abortion left clings to its movement in a post-Roe world, two law professors have taken to the New York Times opinion section to ask, “Why Do We Talk About Miscarriage Differently From Abortion?”

It’s an absurd question on its face, with the obvious rejoinder being that we talk differently about miscarriage and abortion for the same reason we talk differently about aneurysms and first-degree murder, consensual sex and rape, or salaried employment and slavery.

But false equivalencies aside, the writers’ answer to the question is worth exploring because it illuminates how abortion proponents think about women, the tragedy of miscarriage, the realities of abortion, and the value — or not — of human life. . .

They begin with a false premise, which they never support except with tired and debunked talking points about mifepristone, that abortion and miscarriage are commensurate. “The line between abortion and pregnancy loss has always been blurry,” write Greer Donley and Jill Wieber Lens, later adding: “Pregnancy loss and abortion have more in common than many people realize. The physical experiences are often virtually identical.” (Read more from “No, NYT, the Difference Between Abortion and a Miscarriage Is Not the Mother’s Feelings” HERE)

Biden Signs Executive Order to Aid Women Crossing State Lines for Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden signed an executive order Wednesday calling on Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to aid women crossing state lines to obtain abortions.

“[Republicans] don’t have a clue about the power of American women,” the president said on Wednesday before he signed the order. “Last night in Kansas they found out.”

Biden’s order, a response to leftist panic following the overturn of Roe v. Wade, includes a provision that asks Becerra to invite states who are treating patients who have crossed state lines for abortions to apply for Medicaid waivers.

Airbnb Apologizes After ‘1830s Slave Cabin’ Was Advertised as Luxury Bed and Breakfast

/0 Comments/in , /by

Airbnb removed listings and apologized on Monday after a TikTok user complained that a “slave cabin” in Greenville, Mississippi, had been listed as a bed and breakfast.

Wynton Yates, a black lawyer from New Orleans, posted a video that went viral last week blasting the online rental app for listing the “Panther Burn Cottage” at Belmont Plantation. Screen captures taken by Yates showed the listing described as an “1830s slave cabin” that had also been used as a “tenant sharecroppers cabin” before being converted into a bed and breakfast.

“How is this okay in somebody’s mind to rent this out — a place where human beings were kept as slaves — rent this out as a bed and breakfast?” Yates asked in the video.

“The history in this country is constantly being denied and now it’s being mocked by turning into a luxurious vacation spot,” Yates said after pointing out the rental featured running water and lighting fixtures, luxuries that were not enjoyed by the enslaved people once held there.

COVID Shots for Tots Flop Despite Biden’s Push

/0 Comments/in , /by

Few parents are getting their young children vaccinated against COVID-19, despite the Biden administration’s much-anticipated rollout of the shots for children under the age of 5 more than a month ago.

As of last week, just 4.7% of U.S. children aged 6 months to 4 years old had received at least one dose of the shot, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Parents are not lining up for the shots, which became available June 18 after the Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of both the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines for children as young as 6 months.

According to the FDA, “the known and potential benefits of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the known and potential risks in the pediatric populations authorized for use for each vaccine.”

But parents are hesitant, and many say they will not vaccinate their young children until there is more information about immediate and long-term side effects of the “newer technology” mRNA used in the Moderna and Pfizer shots to trigger an immune response.

Never Woke Enough! Beyoncé to Change Song to Appease Woke Mob

/0 Comments/in , /by

Beyoncé is caving to the woke cancel mob by agreeing to remove to word “spazz” from her new album Renaissance, following complaints that the word is ableist.

[Warning: content contains explicit language.]

“The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced,” a spokesperson for the pop diva said in a statement sent to multiple news outlets Monday.

The word “spazz” and its variants are used in the song “Heated,” which is the 11th track of the album. “Spazzin’ on that ass, spazz on that ass,” Beyonce sings. The lyrics occur late in the number, around two-thirds of the way through the single.

“Spazz” is seen by some activists as an ableist slur against people with spastic muscle conditions. Woke activists don’t seem to have any problem with the use of the n-word or the abundance of profanity in the song. (Read more from “Never Woke Enough!

Poll: 66% Of Americans Say the Country Is in a Recession or Even Worse, Majority Want a Third Political Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

While the White House refuses to say that the United States is in a recession, a significant majority of Americans say that the country is in a recession or something even worse, according to a new poll.

A recent Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll of 1,000 registered U.S. voters conducted between July 22 and July 25, 2022, asked participants if the U.S. economy is in an economic recovery, stagnation, recession, or depression.

Over 50% of respondents said the U.S. is in a recession, plus nearly 16% who declared that the country is suffering through a depression. There was an additional 18% who felt the nation was experiencing stagnation. Only 9% felt the U.S. was in an economic recovery.

The Biden administration has been lampooned for attempting to change the traditional definition of recession – which is widely accepted as two consecutive quarters of decline in a country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Even left-leaning CNN mocked the Biden administration for attempting to change the definition of a recession.

Brian Deese – director of the National Economic Council –had his old definition of recession come back to haunt him this week as he tried to protect the Biden administration.
