Did Sony Make Gwen Stacy Trans in New ‘Spider-Man’ Film?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Some fans of the new animated Sony film “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” are convinced that the fictional character Gwen Stacy is transgender.

In the sequel to Sony’s highly successful “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” (2018), viewers observed that the color palette used in several of Stacy’s scenes “appear imbued with the pastel blue, pink and white” colors of the transgender Pride flag, The Pink News reported. There is also a “Protect Trans Kids” sign on the wall of Stacy’s bedroom.

A third example comes from a scene where Stacy reveals her secret identity as Spider-Woman to her father, who is a police officer reportedly wearing a “trans Pride flag badge” pinned to his uniform. The Pink News reported that many viewers interpreted the scene as a metaphor for coming out. The colors of the transgender Pride flag are also incorporated into the animation.

“Gwen Stacy is trans,” one fan wrote. “Her whole arc is a trans allegory. The colors are the trans flag. But most telling. HER WHITE COP DAD WEARS THE TRANS COLORS ON HIS UNIFORM. NO F***ING COP IS THAT MUCH OF AN ALLY UNLESS THEY HAVE A TRANS FAMILY MEMBER!”

Four Dead in Crash That Led to Sonic Boom From F-16 Fighter Jets; Florida Businessman Says ‘Entire Family’ Was on Crashed Plane Behind D.C. Chaos

/41 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. A sonic boom was heard across the Washington DC area Sunday afternoon when military jets raced after a private, unresponsive plane that crossed into restricted airspace and later crashed, killing all four people onboard.

The deafening boom rang out when two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled from Joint Base Andrews, in Maryland to investigate the aircraft that was flying, but not responding to radio transmissions shortly after 3 p.m., according to the Department of Defense. . .

The owner of the company where the plane was registered told the Times Sunday his daughter, 2-year-old granddaughter and their nanny, as well as the pilot, were on the doomed plane on their way back to their East Hampton home.

John Rumpel, of Encore Motors of Melbourne Inc, said they were returning to New York after visiting him in North Carolina. He told the newspaper he didn’t have much information but suggested the plane may have lost pressurization. . .

The sonic boom, which occurs after a vehicle breaks the sound barrier at 767 mph, could be heard throughout the capital, and cities in Maryland and northern Virginia, with many taking to Twitter to question the explosion that rattled their homes.

Florida Businessman Says ‘Entire Family’ Was on Crashed Plane Behind D.C. Chaos

By The Daily Beast. A Florida businessman and prominent political donor identified himself as the owner of a Cessna passenger aircraft that sparked panic as it flew into restricted U.S. airspace over Washington, D.C. Sunday—before crashing into the Virginia wilderness, according to a report. . .

According to federal aviation records, the plane was registered to Encore Motors of Melbourne, a Florida-based company owned by John and Barbara Rumpel, though neither were on board at the time of the crash.

In a brief interview with The Washington Post, John Rumpel confirmed he was the owner of Encore and said his “entire family” was on the plane at the time, including his daughter, a grandchild and her nanny. . .

Both Barbara and her husband, prominent business people in Florida, have donated to a medley of Republican candidates for federal office over the past few years, including hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to former President Donald Trump and his political organization, according to Federal Election Commission records viewed by The Daily Beast.

‘Highly Credible’ Source Reveals Scandal Bigger Than Biden Bribery: FBI Election Interference

/40 Comments/in , , /by

The confidential human source (CHS) behind the detailed allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions was reportedly “highly credible” and used by the FBI in multiple criminal investigations dating back to the Obama administration. Friday’s exclusive by Fox News provides further insight into Sen. Chuck Grassley’s focus on the FBI — as opposed to the Biden family — as the primary scandal in play.

“We aren’t interested in whether or not the accusations against [then]-Vice President Biden are accurate,” Grassley said during an interview last week discussing FBI Director Christopher Wray’s refusal to comply with the congressional subpoena issued for the FD-1023 form. That form, dated June 30, 2020, included detailed information from a CHS to the FBI regarding an agreement by now-President Biden to deliver preferred foreign policy positions for a $5 million payment.

After Grassley revealed he had already seen the FD-1023, Fox News’ Bill Hemmer queried: “How damning is this document to the sitting U.S. president?”

“I don’t know,” responded Grassley, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He stressed that while “there’s accusations” in the FBI report, the congressional oversight committees’ concern is whether “the FBI does its job.” “That’s what we want to know,” he continued. . .

Yes, the CHS’s allegations offer more evidence of a Biden family pay-to-play scandal, and unraveling any criminal conduct by the Biden family remains important. But more significant to the future of our country is uncovering government actors responsible for violating the rule of law: America can survive select injustices, but it cannot withstand a corrupt bureaucracy that obstructs justice and interferes in elections.

Elon Musk Calls Out ‘Gender-Affirming Care For Minors’ as ‘Pure Evil’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk is continuing to speak out against permitting gender-transition measures to be performed on minors, declaring in a tweet that “‘gender-affirming care for minors’ is pure evil.”

Musk made the comment in response to a tweet from Jordan Peterson, who had declared that the “phrase ‘gender-affirming’ care is a criminally evil lie.”

The term refers to measures such as surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers, which do almost the exact opposite of affirming an individual’s immutable biological sex.

Musk indicated in a tweet last week that he intends to lobby to “criminalize” the performance of permanent gender-transition measures on kids prior to the age of consent.

“This is a major problem. I will be actively lobbying to criminalize making severe, irreversible changes to children below the age of consent. Shame on those who advocate this! It is utterly contemptible,” he declared. (Read more from “Elon Musk Calls Out ‘Gender-Affirming Care For Minors’ as ‘Pure Evil’” HERE)

Nearly a Third of Gen Z Americans Say Government Should Put Cameras in Every Home to Prevent Crime and Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new poll found a surprising percentage of Gen Z Americans supporting the idea of the government placing cameras in every home in order to prevent crime and abuse.

The finding was a part of a poll of 2,000 Americans by the Cato Institute.

The poll asked whether Americans supported “the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity.”

Overall, very few Americans supported the idea, about 14 percent, or one out of every seven respondents. A large majority, 75%, opposed the idea, and only 10% said they weren’t sure.

But among those aged below 30 years, 29% said they supported the idea, almost a third of respondents in that age group. (Read more from “Nearly a Third of Gen Z Americans Say Government Should Put Cameras in Every Home to Prevent Crime and Abuse” HERE)

Big Tech-Backed Group Tries to Kill California Bill Because It Could Help Conservative Media

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Chamber of Progress, a tech industry coalition backed by companies such as Google and Meta, released statements and a study arguing against the California Journalism Preservation Act (CJPA), stating it would primarily benefit conservative media outlets.

The California Assembly passed the CJPA on Thursday, a bill that compels companies like Google and Meta to pay publications for news links they post on their platforms, which would disproportionately enrich “disinformation giants like Fox News and the New York Post,” according to the Chamber of Progress. The coalition lists Google and Meta as corporate partners on its website and the Chamber of Progress’s founder and CEO, Adam Kovacevich, formerly headed Google’s U.S. policy strategy and external affairs team, according to its website.

“This bill’s biggest winners aren’t California news outlets, they’re national media outlets known for spreading disinformation,” Kovacevich said in a statement. “By requiring online platforms to pay media outlets that produce viral articles, the CJPA actually makes the problem worse by incentivizing clickbait and misinformation.”

The Chamber of Progress conducted a study on the CJPA and found that “disinformation outlets including Fox News and the New York Post would profit the most.” Fox News would make 643 times as much money as California newspapers, 151 times as much as Latino news outlets and 844 times as much money as black California news outlets, according to the Chamber of Progress’s analysis of its study.

Musk Changes Personal Twitter Bio To The Best Pronouns You’ll See All Month

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Tech mogul Elon Musk changed the pronouns in his Twitter bio Sunday, following a controversy involving him on the site.

Musk, owner and outgoing CEO of Twitter, changed his pronouns to “handsome/brilliant.” The prominent inclusion of these pronouns in his bio section appears to poke fun at users who place pronouns such as she/her, he/him, they/them, etc. to signify their gender identity.

Musk found himself in hot water Thursday over allegations that Twitter censored the Daily Wire’s “What Is A Woman?” documentary. The media company’s co-founder and co-CEO Jeremy Boreing alleged Twitter reneged on their deal to widely stream the documentary over alleged misgendering of individuals who identify as transgender. Users then noted Twitter placed a notification under the documentary, signaling it would limit visibility and called the movie “hateful.” After significant backlash from prominent online conservatives, Musk responded that sharing and commenting on the documentary would be barred over its “sensitive content.” Ultimately, Musk reversed Twitter’s restricting actions, sharing the documentary on his personal Twitter feed Friday, reaching his 142 million followers at a minimum. This followed the Thursday departure of Twitter executive Ella Irwin, head of trust and safety since November 2022.

FBI Arrests Gymnastics Photographer on Charges of Possessing 500 Child Porn Images

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI has arrested a Michigan gymnastics photographer suspected of downloading and distributing child pornography, according to multiple reports.

David Yellen of Royal Oak was arrested last week after an FBI investigation concluded that child pornography had been transferred from his IP address, according to Fox-2 Detroit.

Authorities determined that, of the hundreds of photos discovered in Yellen’s possession, 14 files transferred online fit the legal definition of child pornography, the outlet reported.

FBI agents discovered the alleged files while investigating the transfer of child pornography through the use of BitTorrent – a peer-to-peer network which allows users to share and receive files en masse.

The agents then coordinated with Wide Open West internet to track down Yellen’s home address. A federal search warrant was executed on June 1 and Yellen was taken into custody.

Less than half of Democratic Party voters disapprove of schools counseling children about their gender identity behind parents’ backs, a new poll shows.

Only about 44% of Democrats said they are opposed to schools counseling children on their sexual orientation and gender identity without parental knowledge, according to a new poll by Rasmussen Reports.

The poll surveyed 1,116 people on May 24 and 25. The margin of error was plus-or-minus 3 percentage points.

Respondents were asked, “Should schools and teachers be allowed to counsel students on their sexual and gender identities without parental knowledge or consent?”

The majority of Americans, about 60%, stand against schools counseling children on their sexual orientation and gender identity without parental knowledge. (Read more from “Less Than Half of Dems Oppose Schools Counseling Children About Gender Without Parental Consent: Poll” HERE)

Intel Official Claims Feds Have Concealed Wreckage of UFOs

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former combat officer in Afghanistan and intelligence official told Congress that covert programs exist that know about extraterrestrial beings’ spacecraft that have been retrieved.

David Charles Grusch, 36, who served with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), made his claims to Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General, The Debrief reported. According to a 2021 NRO Performance Report, Grusch “analyzed unidentified aerial phenomena reports” and “boosted congressional leadership Intel gaps [in] understanding.” Grusch also helped create the FY2023 National Defense Authorization Act.

Grusch claimed partial fragments as well as complete vehicles “of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures” have been retrieved.

“We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities,” Grusch said, adding, “The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.” (Read more from “Intel Official Claims Feds Have Concealed Wreckage of UFOs” HERE)
