Air Quality in NYC Worst Since 1980s — Worse Than After 9/11: Forecaster

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York City’s air quality was the worst since at least the 1980s Wednesday afternoon, as thick wildfire smoke blowing down from Canada dimmed the city into an orange haze.

“It looks like Mars out there,” said Fox Forecast Center meteorologist Brian Mastro just before 2 p.m.

The city’s air quality index had risen to 353 out of 500 by early afternoon, which is considered “very hazardous” and was the worst recorded since at least the ’80s, he explained.

Around 2:30 p.m., the air quality ranking site IQair.com ranked the city’s air quality index as 80% worse than the second-most polluted major world city, Delhi, India.

On a normal day in New York, the air index is about 100. (Read more from “Air Quality in NYC Worst Since 1980s — Worse Than After 9/11: Forecaster” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jay Johnston, an actor known for his roles in “Bob’s Burgers” and “Arrested Development,” was arrested Wednesday for his alleged involvement in the attack on the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

According to court documents reviewed by The Post, Johnston, 54, was arrested in California.

He is charged with obstruction of officers during civil disorder, which is a felony, and several misdemeanors, including entering a restricted building and engaging in disruptive conduct with intent to impede government business.

On March 4, 2021, the FBI tweeted photos of a man, allegedly Johnston, at the Jan. 6 riot and asked the public for help identifying him.

The documents state that the Department of Justice identified Johnston using multiple images of him captured on officer body-cam footage, bystander video and CCTV feeds. (Read more from “‘Bob’s Burgers’ Actor Arrested on Capitol Riot Charges” HERE)

Mystery ‘Philanthropist’ Funding CIA and Mossad-Linked Pre-Crime, Facial Recognition Surveillance System Throughout U.S.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gabriel, a public surveillance product company linked to the CIA and Mossad has been slowly gaining traction in the United States for several years.

Backed by former leaders of the FBI, CIA, Shin Bet, and Mossad, the company has recently attracted substantial funding from an anonymous philanthropist aiming to install the product suite in every synagogue, school, and campus community in the country.

Gabriel’s suite centers around a “smart shield” panic button that offers two-way communication, live video feed, instant alerting, and gunshot detection.

The suite is meant to detect weapons, fights, and abnormal behavior among people in its vicinity and it includes smart cameras that use facial recognition and AI that automatically manages alert modes for minor to emergency situations.

The company is looking to expand to retail stores, warehouses, data centers, and banks, to further promote its abnormal behavior detection capabilities. (Read more from “Mystery ‘Philanthropist’ Funding CIA and Mossad-Linked Pre-Crime, Facial Recognition Surveillance System Throughout U.S.” HERE)

Move Over Ladies, Miss California Is a Man This Year

/1 Comment/in , , /by

If you haven’t heard, men can do anything women can do. That includes competing against females on their sports teams, giving birth, wearing dresses and sports bras, and now they can be deemed beauty queens.

Monroe Lace, a man who identifies as a woman, will compete in the 2023 Miss California pageant— going up against biological women who have spent years training and participating in the pageants to qualify for the big league.

In March, the “beauty queen” won the Miss San Francisco pageant, the first transgender man to be crowned in the competition’s 99-year history.

The 25-year-old said he feels responsible for being a role model for young children.

“Every time I put on the sash, the weight of it reminds me of the weight of my job; of the responsibility I have to make a difference for young children,” Lace said, adding that he has been “dreaming” about taking the crown away from actual women in pageants since he was 12 years old.

Disgusting: University Promotes ‘LGBTQ Emergency Fund,’ Sex Toy Shop to Students

/1 Comment/in , /by

The University of Oregon is offering an “emergency fund” for trans-identified students to attain “gender affirming resources,” including sex toys and “trans vocal lessons.”

The public university allows LGBTQ students to request financial assistance to cover transgender treatments, support, and resources under the Gender-Affirming Support Fund. The form is processed through the Office of the Dean of Students in coordination with the Financial Aid Office.

The application describes the fund as “an opportunity for LGBTQIA+ students at the University of Oregon to request emergency funding one time during each academic year to pay for items that impact their sexuality or gender identity.”

The fund cannot be used to pay for textbooks, tuition, or university fees. Instead, the application points students to a different form. In the application form, students must present their gender identity, the anticipated cost per item, and their circumstances prompting them to apply.

The Gender Affirming Support Fund is but one of the LGBTQ “resources” UO Dean of Students Marcus Langford’s website promotes. The website advertises As You Like It, an “eco-conscious, green, gender-inclusive sex toy shop” in Eugene.

Instagram Accused of Connecting ‘Vast Pedophile Network’ in New Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Social media platform Instagram has been accused of helping to facilitate connections between a “vast pedophile network,” according to a report from the The Wall Street Journal and academic researchers.

The Journal, alongside researchers at Stanford University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst, reported that Instagram allowed and promoted accounts that openly buy and commission “underage-sex content.”

“Instagram connects pedophiles and guides them to content sellers via recommendation systems that excel at linking those who share niche interests, the Journal and the academic researchers found,” the outlet reported. “The researchers found that Instagram enabled people to search explicit hashtags such as #pedowhore and #preteensex and connected them to accounts that used the terms to advertise child-sex material for sale.”

Accounts would post “menus” that offered inappropriate content, including “imagery of the minor performing sexual acts with animals,” according to researchers from the Stanford Internet Observatory. Other “menus” reportedly offered videos of children hurting themselves or “meet-ups” with kids.

“Child exploitation is a horrific crime,” said Meta, the parent company of Instagram. “We’re continuously investigating ways to actively defend against this behavior.” (Read more from “Instagram Accused of Connecting ‘Vast Pedophile Network’ in New Report” HERE)

Latest Development in the Classified Doc Probe Is Not Good for Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . . The latest update is that federal prosecutors have informed Mr. Trump that he’s the subject of a criminal investigation (via Politico):

Federal prosecutors have notified former President Donald Trump in a letter that he is the target of a criminal investigation, according to a person familiar with the matter.

That notification is the clearest signal, yet that special counsel Jack Smith is on the verge of a charging decision in his probe of the former president. Trump is under investigation for concealing reams of classified documents at his private estate and orchestrating a scheme to prevent federal authorities from finding them.

[…]

In recent weeks, Smith has hauled in several figures in Trump’s inner circle before the grand jury investigating the documents case — including one of his attorneys, Evan Corcoran, after a legal battle over attorney-client privilege. A former Trump spokesperson, Taylor Budowich, acknowledged Wednesday that he spent the morning in front of a related grand jury impaneled in Florida.

The recent moves have signaled that Smith’s probe was nearing a likely charging decision, which now appears days, if not hours, away. The letter to Trump is yet another indication. The Justice Department manual provides that prosecutors may send a “target letter” to those who are likely to be charged in connection with a grand jury probe, giving them an opportunity to testify before an indictment comes down.

‘Gender Identity Is Real’: Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Florida Ban On Puberty Blockers For Minors

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge on Tuesday concluded “gender identity is real” in a ruling that partially strikes down Florida‘s new law banning doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors.

Judge Robert Hinkle issued a preliminary injunction against Senate Bill 254, which also criminalizes permanent mutilating surgical procedures and mandates that a healthcare practitioner’s license be terminated if they violate the law.

“The elephant in the room should be noted at the outset,” Hinkle wrote in a 44-page ruling. “Gender identity is real. The record makes this clear.”

“Despite the defense admissions, there are those who believe that cisgender individuals properly adhere to their natal sex and that transgender individuals have inappropriately chosen a contrary gender identity, male or female, just as one might choose whether to read Shakespeare or Grisham,” Hinkle continued.

Hinkle’s ruling centered around two 11-year-old girls and one 8-year-old boy whose parents filed the lawsuit against the state’s surgeon general, arguing that banning GnRH agonists known as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone prescriptions violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.

‘Bed Rotting’ Gen Z Is Destroying Their Future: ‘Never Be at Home’

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s time for Gen Z to stop “bed rotting” and leave the house.

Working from home could stunt career growth and romantic relationships, Scott Galloway, a marketing professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, said at the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit last week.

“You should never be at home. That’s what I tell young people. Home is for seven hours of sleep and that’s it,” Galloway dished in a clip posted by the Journal on TikTok.

“The amount of time you spend at home is inversely correlated to your success professionally and romantically. You need to be out of the house,” he urged.

Evidence has suggested that folks who work outside of the house have higher rates of success. (Read more from “‘Bed Rotting’ Gen Z Is Destroying Their Future: ‘Never Be at Home’” HERE)
