Black Conservatives Blast Biden Admin’s ‘Soft Bigotry’ After It Sues Sheetz for Discrimination

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prominent black conservatives blasted President Biden and his administration for their discrimination lawsuit against Sheetz convenience stores.

Biden’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing gas station chain Sheetz for what they say are discriminatory hiring practices because Sheetz screens job applicants for criminal records, the lawsuit claims.

Sheetz “violated federal law by denying employment to a class of job applicants because of their race, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today,” the EEOC said in a Thursday press release.

“Sheetz has maintained a longstanding practice of screening all job applicants for records of criminal conviction and then denying them employment based on those records,” the EEOC statement alleges.

Multiple prominent black conservative figures lambasted Biden and the EEOC for the suit. (Read more from “Black Conservatives Blast Biden Admin’s ‘Soft Bigotry’ After It Sues Sheetz for Discrimination” HERE)

NYT Claims Trump Is Getting ‘Favorable Treatment’ from the NYPD

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York Times criticized the support former President Donald Trump has received from the New York Police Department as his ongoing Manhattan hush money trial continues to get unwanted media attention.

The NYPD has been appearing to protect Trump from undue media attention as he enters and exits the Manhattan courthouse every day.

The police force has shown unwavering courtesy to Trump, a stark supporter of law enforcement, making “law and order” a major theme of his 2020 presidential campaign with more than 900,000 officers endorsing him during the cycle.

The NYT critically highlighted the “favorable” treatment Trump has gotten from the NYPD.

Trump continues to receive favorable treatment from the New York City Police Department. For a week, a large N.Y.P.D. dump truck has been parked in the intersection of Hogan Place and Centre Street, with a uniformed driver sitting inside. Minutes before Trump’s arrival each morning, the dump truck has pulled a half-car length forward, blocking news photographers’ views of him entering the side door of the courthouse. And this afternoon, like those before it, the driver did the same maneuver for Trump’s 2:37 p.m. departure. Via the NYT.

‘Historic Mistake’: Law Professor Takes Apart Alvin Bragg’s Case Against Trump — Then Predicts the Outcome

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Jed Handelsman Shugerman, a law professor at Boston University, thinks Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Donald Trump is a “historic mistake.”

Shugerman made that conclusion after witnessing opening arguments on Monday in which prosecutors alleged Trump “orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election.” . . .

The problems with their thesis, Shugerman wrote in the New York Times, are obvious: an “unprecedented use of state law” and a “persistent avoidance of specifying an election crime or a valid theory of fraud.”

“As a reality check, it is legal for a candidate to pay for a nondisclosure agreement. Hush money is unseemly, but it is legal,” Shugerman wrote.

He continued:

In Monday’s opening argument, the prosecutor Matthew Colangelo still evaded specifics about what was illegal about influencing an election, but then he claimed, “It was election fraud, pure and simple.” None of the relevant state or federal statutes refer to filing violations as fraud. Calling it “election fraud” is a legal and strategic mistake, exaggerating the case and setting up the jury with high expectations that the prosecutors cannot meet.

Nudist BDSM Fetishist Associated With Anti-Christian Drag Group Teaching Children at Texas Elementary School

/1 Comment/in , /by

A nudist BDSM fetishist and radical gay rights advocate has been teaching at an elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, prompting backlash from parents and concerned community members. Art Lesieur, also known as “Master Cat Artemis,” is also associated with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Lesieur has been teaching music at Medio Creek Elementary, where he is listed both on the staff directory and has been featured in posts on the school’s Facebook. The information was first brought to light by Kelly Neidert on X (formerly Twitter).

Lesieur has seemingly made no effort to separate his sexual conduct from his identity as an elementary educator, and was described as being “a teacher in the San Antonio Community” in a post made by Austin Kink Weekend.

The post advertised him as one of the judges for the Lonestar Pup and Handler competition in Texas, a fetish event featuring men who dress and act like dogs.

According to a lengthy biography on the National Leather Association (NLA) website, Lesieur was part of the Bexar Men nudist group, for which he served on the board, before becoming a member of the San Antonio branch of the National Leather Association, a BDSM and fetish organization.

Kidney From Pig ​Transplanted Into Deathly Ill Woman — And Begins Working Almost Immediately

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New Jersey woman is alive and improving after undergoing experimental transplant surgery involving a kidney from a genetically modified pig.

Earlier this month, Lisa Pisano — a 54-year-old grandmother from Cookstown, New Jersey, about 20 miles southeast of Trenton — was practically on death’s doorstep. She was in desperate need of a kidney transplant, but antibodies in her tissues made finding a match nearly impossible.

She was also in heart failure, but because she was on dialysis, doctors hesitated to implant a heart pump known as a left ventricular assist device because of the high mortality rates for dialysis patients undergoing that kind of procedure.

Miserable and seemingly out of options, Pisano suddenly received a message of hope from Dr. Robert Montgomery, the director of NYU Langone Transplant Institute. Montgomery and his team offered to perform two separate procedures that, if successful, would at least buy Pisano some more time with her loved ones. . .

Doctors have dabbled in xenotransplantation — or cross-species organ transplants — for some time, but with little long-term success. Last year, two men received hearts transplanted from pigs at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, but both men died within months. To lessen the chances of organ rejection and improve xenotransplantation possibilities, scientists at United Therapeutics Corp. genetically engineered pigs so that they wouldn’t produce a sugar that the human body does not recognize.

How the Biden Admin Enables Government Employees to Change Genders

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration has set out to encourage gender transition attempts among federal bureaucrats, establishing gender transition support plans, holding trainings pushing Left-wing gender ideology, and even telling federal employees that referring to someone by biologically accurate pronouns is discrimination.

In a document published by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), effectively the human resources department of the federal government, the Biden administration commanded federal agencies to embed “gender identity inclusion practices” throughout the bureaucracy.

Titled “Guidance Regarding Gender Identity and Inclusion in the Federal Workplace,” the document was published on “transgender day of visibility,” March 31, and it instructs agencies to “take actions to ensure that all Federal employees have their respective gender identities accurately reflected and identified in the workplace.” The document specifically tells the federal bureaucracy to ensure that name and pronoun changes are respected, warning that those who use “incorrect” terms might “contribute to an unlawful hostile work environment.”

It also directs agencies to host gender identity trainings, saying they should “take steps to implement or increase the availability of training programs on gender identity and inclusion in the Federal workplace for employees, managers, and leadership.”

While the OPM document further formalizes the Biden administration’s support of transgenderism, numerous federal agencies have already established policies to encourage transgenderism in the federal workforce. The Department of the Interior (DOI), for example, published a document called “Supporting Gender Transition in the Federal Workplace” that lays out how the federal agency will offer support to bureaucrats who are attempting to change their sex.

Former Obama Administration Official Arrested on Child Sex Offenses Charges

/1 Comment/in , /by

A senior advisor in former President Barack Obama’s administration, Rahamim “Rami” Shy, has been arrested in the UK on charges related to child sex offenses. Shy, who worked closely with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, faces accusations of arranging child sex offenses and possessing indecent images of children. The arrest comes as a shocking development for someone who previously coordinated the U.S. government’s strategy against terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Shy, 46, was arrested by Bedfordshire Police in late February and charged the following day with paying pedophiles to produce child pornography. Court documents reveal that he faces multiple charges, including possession of indecent images of children and possessing a prohibited image of a child. During a recent court appearance at Luton Crown Court, Shy was remanded in custody and is set to face further hearings in June.

Despite his past roles in government, including senior positions at the U.S. Treasury Department and advising on countering terrorist financing, Shy’s current employment was as an executive at Citi banking group.

As the case unfolds, authorities are examining Shy’s background and activities, including his work in advising officials on counter-terrorism measures and providing strategic policy analysis to defense chiefs.

Poll: Just 20 Percent Of Voters Say United States Has Control Over Its Borders

Only 20 percent of eligible voters think that the United States has control of its own borders, a recent poll found, making it the latest survey find Biden underwater on the critical election-year issue.

The poll of 1,500 eligible voters, performed by Redfield and Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek, found that just 20 percent of respondents said that the United States has control over its border, marking a significant decline over the past several months. The number has plummeted since August, when 34% of respondents said that the country had control over its own borders.

When asked “Do you believe the United States has control over its borders?” a full 63 percent said “no,” while another 13 percent said “don’t know.” A plurality of all age groups surveyed in the poll, which was performed on April 11th, agreed that the U.S. does not have control over its borders, including 47 percent of Generation Z, which was defined as those born between 1997 and 2002. A majority of those who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 (53 percent) also said that the U.S. does not have control over its borders.

The survey also asked voters their thoughts on the government’s current handling of illegal immigration, with 52 percent saying that they were either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied, while only 21 percent said that they were satisfied or very satisfied.

Seattle Children’s Hospital Leaves Texas After Investigation Over Gender Transition Medication for Minors: AG

/0 Comments/in , /by

Seattle Children’s Hospital has agreed to stop providing care in Texas after backlash for allegedly helping minors in the Lone Star state receive gender transition medication, The Post has exclusively learned.

The hospital is suspected of providing support for gender transitions to Texas-based patients from its Seattle facility, which writes prescriptions for sex change hormones to their pharmacies in the Lone Star state, according to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Paxton says this would violate state law, which prohibits drug and surgical sex changes for kids. However, when his office made enquiries they were rebuffed.

“Seattle Children’s Hospital appeared to break Texas law and initially tried to evade accountability when investigated,” Paxton said in a statement shared with The Post. . .

Seattle Children’s subsequently sued Texas in December arguing the state’s request should either be invalidated or limited, claiming “the Demands represent an unconstitutional attempt to investigate potential interstate commerce and travel for Texas residents to another state.” (Read more from “Seattle Children’s Hospital Leaves Texas After Investigation Over Gender Transition Medication for Minors: AG” HERE)

Judge Declares Mistrial in Case of Arizona Rancher Charged With Murder of Mexican National on Border Property

/0 Comments/in , /by

A jury was unable to reach a verdict in the case of Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly, who was accused of second-degree murder in connection to the death of a Mexican national found fatally shot on his borderland ranch in January 2023.

The jury began deliberating April 18. After days of being unable to reach a verdict, the judge overseeing the trial declared a mistrial on Monday.

The case centered around the death of Mexican national Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, who was found shot to death on Kelly’s 170-acre cattle ranch near Keno Springs outside Nogales, Arizona, on Jan. 30, 2023.

Kelly’s defense has countered the prosecution’s argument that Cuen-Buitimea was an unarmed migrant and has suggested cartel influence mired the death investigation.

“Long story short, this is simply not somebody who’s looking for the American dream. There’s no evidence that this person is here for those kinds of benign purposes,” Kelly’s defense attorney, Brenna Larkin, said during her closing argument on Thursday. “And we bring that up, not, you know, to be judgmental about Gabriel or to not have compassion for him. But when people are involved in a criminal lifestyle, it’s dangerous. It’s more inherently dangerous than simply being a migrant who’s coming here. So it’s relevant for that reason.” (Read more from “Judge Declares Mistrial in Case of Arizona Rancher Charged With Murder of Mexican National on Border Property” HERE)
