Amazon’s AI Calls Conservative Book About Leftist Indoctrination Of Kids ‘Biased,’ ‘Extreme’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amazon’s artificial intelligence describes a book highlighting how the leftist radicals are “indoctrinating a generation” and “erasing innocence” as “biased” and “extreme.”

Authors Bethany Mandel and Karol Markowicz published Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation in March of 2023. But when some Amazon users click on the cover image of the book and swipe left to the second image, they are met with a message from Amazon’s AI refusing to describe the book as anything other than “biased” and “extreme.”

“I will not provide a promotional summary for a book that appears to contain biased or extreme political rhetoric against marginalized groups. However, I’d be happy to have a thoughtful discussion about supporting children and families in an ethical, non-discriminatory manner,” Amazon’s artificial intelligence description reads.

In a response to questions from The Federalist, Amazon spokesman Tim Gillman claimed the defamatory summary of the book was an “error” caused by an “experimental feature.”

Amazon did not immediately respond to The Federalist asking what other things the “experimental feature” has affected on their platform. (Read more from “Amazon’s AI Calls Conservative Book About Leftist Indoctrination Of Kids ‘Biased,’ ‘Extreme’” HERE)

Trump Cuts off CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Before She Can Ask Question During Press Briefing: ‘Excuse Me, I Didn’t Pick You’

/6 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. President Donald Trump abruptly shut down CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during a press briefing on Tuesday when she tried to raise questions about the controversial “Signal” messaging incident involving top administration officials.

During a meeting with ambassadors at the White House, the frequent Trump nemesis attempted to pepper the president with a question.

“Mr. President, you said that your national security learned a lesson after a reporter …,” Collins began.

Before she could complete her sentence, Trump interrupted, saying sharply: “Excuse me, I didn’t pick you.”

He then pointed to another reporter in the gallery and said, “Go ahead.”

The Signal controversy emerged after The Atlantic revealed that Jeffrey Goldberg, its editor-in-chief, was mistakenly added to a secret group chat where high-ranking Trump administration members discussed an upcoming military strike against Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

National security adviser takes ‘full responsibility’ for ‘embarrassing’ Signal leak — but still rips ‘vile’ Atlantic editor

By New York Post. National security adviser Mike Waltz accepted “full responsibility” Tuesday for accidentally including Atlantic magazine’s editor-in-chief in a Signal chat group where discussions about military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen took place.

“Well, look, a staffer wasn’t responsible,” Waltz told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham in his first media interview since the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg revealed that he was privy to the Trump administration’s internal deliberations and planning of March 15 airstrikes after being added to text chain on the encrypted Signal app by the national security adviser.

“Look, I take full responsibility,” Waltz added. “I built the group. My job is to make sure everything’s coordinated.”

When pressed by “The Ingraham Angle” host on why Goldberg’s number was on his phone to begin with, the White House official claimed he didn’t know. (Read more from “National security adviser takes ‘full responsibility’ for ‘embarrassing’ Signal leak — but still rips ‘vile’ Atlantic editor” HERE)

‘Free Speech’ Group Forces Taxpayer-Funded Texas University To Feature Trans Sex Shows

/0 Comments/in , /by

When Texas A&M University banned drag shows on campus, it took a vital step to defend its institutional mission. But a so-called “free speech” group went to court, and now a judge is forcing the school to host these explicit transgender sex shows.

The university’s board of regents recognized that “Drag Show Events are likely to create or contribute to a hostile environment for women,” involving “unwelcome and objectively offensive conduct based on sex,” in a Feb. 28 resolution. As drag shows “involve sexualized, vulgar or lewd conduct; and involve conduct that demeans women,” the board found it “inconsistent with the System’s mission and core values” for A&M venues to host drag shows.

But the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a misguided “free speech” group, sued to make A&M host these obscene sex shows. The university’s ban had canceled the upcoming performance of “Draggieland,” hosted by the radical student group Queer Empowerment Council, so FIRE sued on behalf of the group earlier this month. Federal Judge Lee Rosenthal for the U.S. Southern District of Texas issued an injunction on March 24, forcing the school to host drag shows while the case is in progress.

“This is another display of the resilience of queer joy, as that is an unstoppable force despite those that wish to see it destroyed,” the Queer Empowerment Council said in a FIRE press release.

Rosenthal specifically forced A&M to host “Draggieland” — which she lauded as “cleverly named.” Previous “Draggieland” performances featured scantily-clad men dressed as women in sexual poses. At the time of publication, the upcoming event was scheduled to take place in a university theater on March 27.

America’s Largest Teachers Union Sues To Keep ‘Stranglehold’ On Failed Education Deep State

/0 Comments/in , /by

The National Education Association (NEA) joined forces with other left-wing organizations to sue the Trump administration for dismantling the federal Department of Education and returning education decisions to states and localities.

The NEA filed a lawsuit on Monday alongside the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Maryland Council 3, and others to try to stop the Trump administration from taking steps to prepare the department for closure.

“Instead of focusing on the facts and offering helpful solutions to improve student outcomes, the union is once again misleading the American public to keep their stranglehold on the American education bureaucracy,” Madi Biedermann, deputy assistant secretary for communications at the Department of Education, told The Federalist. “The union is also forcing the Department to waste resources on litigation instead of the programs the union claims to care about and the kids this Administration is fighting for.”

“As President Trump and Secretary McMahon have made clear, sunsetting the Department of Education will be done in partnership with Congress and national and state leaders to ensure all statutorily required programs are managed responsibly and where they best serve students and families. To date, no action has been taken to move federally mandated programs out of the Department of Education,” Biedermann added. “The U.S. Department of Education continues to deliver on all programs that fall under the agency’s purview, including vigilantly enforcing federal civil rights laws in schools and ensuring students with special needs and disabilities have access to critical resources.”

As The Federalist reported, President Donald Trump signed an executive order last Thursday directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin the process of dismantling the department in order to help improve an education system that produces some of the worst outcomes in the developed world. Trump said on Friday that some of the department’s duties would be transferred to other agencies as part of that process.

Red State Jury Awards Plaintiff $2 Billion From Big Pharma Company Bayer In Latest MAHA Win

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Georgia jury awarded plaintiff John Barnes $2.065 billion in damages Friday in the latest round of lawsuits against pharmaceutical giant Bayer for their weedkiller product Roundup.

Barnes, who is suffering from non-Hodgkin lymphoma, filed a 2021 lawsuit against Roundup producer Monsanto, which is owned by Bayer, according to the Associated Press.

Among Roundup’s most vocal opponents has been newly minted Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kennedy Jr., who has sued and won against Monsanto on behalf of Roundup clients in the past, has repeatedly bashed the product as toxic and blamed it in part for America’s chronic disease epidemic.

“The herbicide Glyphosate is one of the likely culprits in America’s chronic disease epidemic. Much more widely used here than in Europe,” Kennedy tweeted in June. (Read more from “Red State Jury Awards Plaintiff $2 Billion From Big Pharma Company Bayer In Latest MAHA Win” HERE)

Trump Pardons Ex-Hunter Biden Business Partner

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump pardoned Hunter Biden’s former business partner Devon Archer on Tuesday.

Trump signed the pardon on Tuesday, saying that Archer was a victim of a “crime” and treated “very unfairly.” Archer had been facing a year and a day in prison for his role in defrauding a Native American tribe and other clients by fraudulently issuing and selling over $60 million worth of bonds.

“Devon Archer was a former business partner of the Biden family. He was prosecuted relating to a fraud investigation, but notably, the tone and tenor of that prosecution changed dramatically after he began to cooperate with congressional investigators and serve as a witness against Hunter Biden and the Biden family. We believe that was an injustice, and therefore we’re asking you to pardon him,” White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf told the president, showing him the executive order.

“And many people have asked me to do this. I think he was treated very unfairly. And I looked at the records, studied the records, and he was a victim of a crime, as far as I’m concerned. So we’re going to undo that,” Trump said. (Read more from “Trump Pardons Ex-Hunter Biden Business Partner” HERE)

Trump Reveals NSC Staffer Added the Atlantic Editor to Group Chat on Houthi Strikes

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump revealed Tuesday that a National Security Council staffer and aide to National Security Adviser Mike Waltz added the Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal group chat on military strikes against the Houthis.

Trump told NBC News during a phone interview, “It was one of Michael’s people on the phone. A staffer had his number on there.”

The president did not reveal the name of the staffer.

He also defended Waltz for using Signal to coordinate on the strikes, saying, “Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he’s a good man.”

He also said Goldberg’s presence in the chat had “no impact at all” on the strikes, and expressed confidence in his national security team — most of whom were in the group chat. (Read more from “Trump Reveals NSC Staffer Added the Atlantic Editor to Group Chat on Houthi Strikes” HERE)

Chris Stigall: The Most Offensive Part of the Signal Leak Is Grown Men Using Emojis

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” “Chris Stigall Show” host Chris Stigall discussed the Trump administration’s Signal chat.

Stigall began by stating that the Biden administration made numerous mistakes like Afghanistan, the Chinese spy balloon, and the military vaccine mandate and that then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley had backdoor conversations with China and noted that then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin didn’t tell anyone when he was absent due to his hospitalization and his staff requested that the ambulance come pick him up in a secretive way.

Former Target Exec Storch: Trump Tariff Concerns ‘Grossly Exaggerated’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Target Corporation executive and Toys ‘R’ Us CEO Gerald Storch said Tuesday on Fox Business Network’s “Varney and Company” that concerns over President Donald Trump’s tariffs have been “grossly exaggerated.”

Host Stuart Varney said, “You ran one of the biggest toy stores in the world. How would you have handled the present situation if you could expect China made toys to go up 10 to 15% in price? How would you handle it?”

Storch said, “Well, first of all, they’re not going to go up 10 to 15 or 20% in price, but no, I think this whole thing with the tariffs is grossly exaggerated by a factor of at least two.” (Read more from “Former Target Exec Storch: Trump Tariff Concerns ‘Grossly Exaggerated’” HERE)

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Responds to Atlantic Report: ‘Nobody Was Texting War Plans’

/6 Comments/in , , /by

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday addressed a report by The Atlantic that claimed he had shared sensitive details about U.S. military strikes in Yemen on an encrypted messaging app to a group chat with other cabinet members where a reporter was accidentally added.

“Nobody was texting war plans and that’s all I have to say about that,” Hegseth said to a journalist after his plane touched down in Hawaii on an official trip.

The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg reported Monday that he was added to the group chat on March 13, two days after National Security Adviser Mike Waltz requested to add him as a contact on the Signal app.

The group chat was for the purpose of coordinating between the heads of different government agencies in regards to President Donald Trump’s decision to strike Houthi rebels in Yemen who had been targeting U.S. ships in the Red Sea since October 7, 2023.

Goldberg claimed that the morning of the strikes, on March 15, Hegseth had “texted [him] the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.” (Read more from “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Responds to Atlantic Report: ‘Nobody Was Texting War Plans’” HERE)
