Lawmaker Introduces Bill to Jail Publishers for Funneling ‘Sexually Explicit Materials’ to Schools

Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) introduced legislation earlier this month that would jail publishers for providing sexually explicit materials to schools.

“From school board meetings to new representation in local, state, and federal levels, Americans are waking up to the grim reality of woke indoctrination guised as a normal education,” the freshman Florida lawmaker said in a statement earlier this month. . .

A spokesman for Mills provided TheBlaze with a copy of the proposed legislation.

Mills’ bill, H.R. 863, “End the Sexualization of Children in Schools,” would amend Chapter 71 of title 18 of the United States code.

The bill addresses publishing houses that “knowingly furnish an elementary school, a secondary school, a local educational agency, or a State educational agency with published material containing sexually explicit visual depiction of any kind, including a picture, photograph, or drawing.” (Read more from “Lawmaker Introduces Bill to Jail Publishers for Funneling ‘Sexually Explicit Materials’ to Schools” HERE)

Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls for a ‘National Divorce’ Between Liberal and Conservative States

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called for the U.S. to be separated by red and blue states and for a shrinking of the federal government in a tweet on President’s Day, the latest in a string of controversial statements from the two-term congresswoman.

“We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” said Greene, R-Ga, in the tweet. “Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.

The United States fought a civil war in the 1860s after a group of southern states tried to secede in an effort to keep the legal enslavement of Black people. (Read more from “Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls for a ‘National Divorce’ Between Liberal and Conservative States” HERE)

White House: Joe Biden Felt ‘It Was Really Important’ to Stand Next to Zelensky

President Joe Biden’s top national security aides told reporters on Monday that despite the risks it entailed, the president felt it was “really important” to make the surprise trip to Ukraine.

“He was excited about making the trip. I think he felt it was really important to stand up next to President Zelenskyy and speak the way that he did today,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on a conference call with press. . .

Another aide on the call said his visit was a demonstration of Biden’s commitment to Ukraine.

“This was a risk that Joe Biden wanted to take. It’s important to him to show up, even when it’s hard, and he directed his team to make it happen, no matter how challenging the logistics,” White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield said.

“He wanted to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Zelensky and remind the world, as we approach the one-year anniversary of the invasion, that Kyiv still stands and the United States will not be deterred from standing with Ukraine,” she added.

Turkey, Syria Hit by New 6.4-Magnitude Earthquake 2 Weeks After Twin Quakes Killed at Least 46,000

A powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Turkey near the Syrian border late Monday — two weeks after twin earthquakes devastated the region, killing at least 46,000 people and leaving millions of people homeless.

The quake — almost as forceful as the 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that struck on Feb. 6, leaving Turkey and Syria under piles of rubble — brought further heartbreak and despair to the already ravaged Hatay province in southern Turkey.

Its tremors were centered around the town of Defne, in Hatay province, Turkey’s disaster management agency AFAD said — but was also strongly felt in the cities of Antakya and Adana, located to the north.

Antakya resident Muna Al Omar — who, like many in the city, is already living in a temporary housing shelter — said she was in a tent in a park when disaster struck again.

“I thought the earth was going to split open under my feet,” she said through tears while holding her 7-year-old son in her arms. “Is there going to be another aftershock?” (Read more from “Turkey, Syria Hit by New 6.4-Magnitude Earthquake 2 Weeks After Twin Quakes Killed at Least 46,000” HERE)

Report: Kevin McCarthy Gave Thousands of Hours of Jan. 6 Footage to Tucker Carlson

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson exclusive access to 41,000 hours of footage from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Axios reported Monday, citing sources close to the speaker.

Carlson’s producers reportedly began reviewing the footage on Capitol Hill earlier in February, and his shows will start airing excerpts in coming weeks, according to Axios. Talks between Carlson’s show and McCarthy regarding the footage began in early February, the outlet reported.

“If there was ever a question that’s in the public’s interest to know, it’s what actually happened on January 6. By definition, this video will reveal it. It’s impossible for me to understand why any honest person would be bothered by that,” Carlson told Axios.

James O’Keefe Removed From Project Veritas Board, Stripped as CEO

“Project Veritas” founder and CEO James O’Keefe has left the company he founded after a group of his staff reportedly tried to oust him.

O’Keefe was put on paid leave as the organization’s board considered whether they would oust him. Employees had been dissatisfied by O’Keefe’s management and alleged he wasted money and was “outright cruel” to his staff, according to the The Daily Beast.

O’Keefe announced to his staff Monday that he was ousted as CEO and from the board in an emotional 15-minute video.

“Throughout my 13 years doing this my mission has evolved,” O’Keefe said in his announcement. “Over the last few weeks I have felt a lot of despair and seen a lot of evil and felt overcome with various emotions.”

“I take away from these the gratitude that I have for many of you, most of you…I reflected upon my appreciation for many of you, what makes this great is because we actually believe in this, we have a passion for this and we have principle.” (Read more from “James O’Keefe Removed From Project Veritas Board, Stripped as CEO” HERE)

‘Serious Threat’: The National Science Foundation Has Spent Millions on Projects Combating ‘Misinformation’

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is pouring millions into research and the development of tools to combat online mis- and disinformation, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of agency grants.

Since the start of the Biden administration, the total NSF dollars spent on “misinformation” related projects have reached $38.8 million, according to a November report by the Foundation for Freedom Online (FFO). However, NSF has awarded even more grants to combat mis- and disinformation since the release of FFO’s report, the DCNF found. Most grants reviewed by the DCNF, which are ongoing and have past disbursement dates ranging from July 2019 to Dec. 2022, fall under the “Convergence Accelerator Track F: Trust & Authenticity in Communication Systems” or “Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC).”

The disinformation industry is growing and increasingly used to inform social media platforms content moderation policies, which seem to disproportionately target conservative speech. Last week, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported that the U.S. State Department helped fund the “disinformation” monitor Global Disinformation Index (GDI), which the Washington Examiner earlier found maintains a blacklist of conservative media groups and websites rated based on disinformation risk that ad companies in turn utilize to defund.

Aaron Terr, Director of Public Advocacy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), told the Daily Caller News Foundation it is “not a far-fetched scenario” to imagine the government using the technology it is funding through NSF to regulate speech.

U.S. Trying to ‘Demonize Moscow’ With Ukraine Accusations: Russia

Vice President Harris’ declaration that Russia is committing crimes against humanity is an “attempt to demonize Moscow,” Russia’s ambassador to the US said Sunday — as he blamed America for “fueling” the nearly yearlong crisis.

“We consider such insinuations as an attempt, unprecedented in terms of its cynicism, to demonize Russia in the course of a hybrid war, unleashed against us,” Anatoly Antonov said in a statement posted on the social messaging platform Telegram.

“There is no doubt that the purpose of such attacks is to justify Washington’s own actions to fuel the Ukrainian crisis,” he continued, blasting the US for providing an array of weapons to Ukraine in its defense against Russian forces. ​

Harris at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday accused Russia of carrying out “widespread and systematic” attacks on civilians in the year since President Putin launched the invasion into neighboring Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

Former President Jimmy Carter Enters Hospice Care

Former President Jimmy Carter has decided to enter into hospice care at home after a series of brief hospital visits, the Carter Center announced Saturday.

“After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention,” the Carter Center said in a statement about the 98-year-old former president’s health. “He has the full support of his family and his medical team.”

Hospice care is provided for people facing terminal illness who are expected to have six months or less to live and focuses on quality of life and reducing pain while attending to the patient’s needs, according to the Mayo Clinic.
