/0 Comments/in , , /by

The District of Columbia has the highest percentage of LGBTQ individuals in the United States, according to a UCLA study released in December.

In the nation’s capital, 14.3% of the population claims to be part of that community, with Oregon, Delaware, Vermont and New Hampshire also topping 7% of their population identifying as LGBTQ, the study by the Williams Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, said. The study estimated the total population of LGBTQ individuals is 13.9 million, or roughly 5.5% of the United States population, according to The Hill.

An estimated 1.55 million people in California are LGBTQ, giving it the largest population of LGBTQ individuals, the study said. Texas also has a LGBTQ population of over 1 million individuals, while Florida and New York each have over 850,000 LGBTQ people in them, the study said. Pennsylvania and Ohio each have more than 550,000 LBGTQ individuals, according to the study, with Michigan, Illinois, Georgia and Washington also reaching the top ten.

WATCH: Gay Man Appears To Have Meltdown In Airport, Hits Husband In Matching Shirt, Screams At Woman In Wheelchair

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a public meltdown at the Charlotte airport Wednesday, a gay married couple accused American Airlines of keeping them from their pet dogs when their flight was delayed, a Twitter video showed.

“American Airlines have f**ked us over!” Dustin Miller, 42, appeared to yell at the onlookers in the airport, while his husband, Anthony Thorne, 40, tried to drag him away while clutching Louis-Vuitton luggage, the video appeared to show.

The couple was on their way back to Fort Lauderdale when the drama occurred, Daily Mail reported. While Miller was screaming in the video, Thorne was seen imploring him to “remember your girls”, their dogs Shelby and Dolly, according to the outlet. As the scene reached a climax, Thorne was seemingly able to calm Miller down with repeated entreaties reminding him of who his “girls” were, the video showed.

Biden Sues Nation’s Largest Christian University After Hitting It With Huge Fine

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday announced it has sued Grand Canyon University (GCU), becoming the second agency under the Biden administration to take action against the largest Christian school in the nation within the past few months in what the university says is a coordinated attack by multiple agencies against the institution.

The FTC said in a press release it filed suit in federal court against GCU, its marketer Grand Canyon Education, Inc. and its president and CEO Brian Mueller, claiming the defendants used deceptive advertising and engaged in illegal telemarketing.

The complaint says the Arizona-based school misled prospective doctoral students about the amount of time it would take to finish its accelerated program, deceptively marketed the school as a nonprofit, and illegally called prospective students who submitted their contact information on the school’s website but requested not to be contacted.

CIA Sued Over COVID-19 Cover-up

/2 Comments/in , , /by

The Oversight Project, a government watchdog affiliated with the Heritage Foundation, has taken legal action against the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. The lawsuit aims to force the CIA to disclose records related to its investigation into the origins of COVID-19, following allegations from a whistleblower that analysts were offered financial incentives to alter their conclusions about the virus’s origin.

The Oversight Project initiated its pursuit of CIA records after a whistleblower testified before Congress, claiming that members of the CIA’s COVID Discovery Team were provided monetary incentives to change their stance on the origins of the pandemic.

While the Energy Department and the FBI pointed to a potential lab leak in Wuhan, China, as the likely source, five other agencies suggested a natural transmission or transmission from animals through a wet market. Amidst these conflicting narratives, House investigators in September revealed that a senior-level CIA officer alleged that the agency had offered financial inducements to COVID investigators to alter their conclusions.

Representatives Brad Wenstrup and Mike Turner, chairs of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, asserted that, according to the whistleblower, a majority of the COVID Discovery Team members believed the evidence supported the assessment that COVID-19 originated in a Wuhan laboratory.

Oversight Project Chief Counsel Kyle Brosnan expressed concern over the lack of transparency from both the CIA and the Biden administration. Brosnan stated, “A CIA whistleblower has made serious allegations that the agency bought off employees to further obstruct efforts to get to the truth of the virus’s origins. This obstruction cannot stand, and we’re fighting in federal court to get to the bottom of this.”

David Axelrod Makes Bold Prediction About Future of Ramaswamy Campaign

/1 Comment/in , , /by

We are just under three weeks away from the Iowa Republican caucus, the first nominating contest in the country. Former and potentially future President Donald Trump has a historic lead in the polls, though he’s still facing four other candidates. The latest move from Vivek Ramaswamy has some, including Democratic strategist David Axelrod, wondering if he’ll even make it to Iowa, or will instead drop out to endorse Trump. . .

NBC notes that Ramaswamy was spending more than $200,000 in the first full week of December, but spent $6,000 on ads, all on TV, citing figures from AdImpact. The report also began by mentioning that Ramaswamy “does not have any TV ad reservations booked.”

According to Tricia McLaughlin, who serves as the campaign press secretary, the campaign is still spending on ads, but not on TV. As she explained it, they’re looking to best reach voters they’ve identified, with McLaughlin also noting the move is intentional:

Ramaswamy’s campaign says it is still spending money on ads, just not on TV.

“We are focused on bringing out the voters we’ve identified — best way to reach them is using addressable advertising, mail, text, live calls and doors to communicate with our voters on Vivek’s vision for America, making their plan to caucus and turning them out,” Tricia McLaughlin, the campaign’s press secretary told NBC News.

Delta Airlines Employee Goes Viral For Standing Up To ‘Trans Activist’ At Airport (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , , /by

A man who appears to be a Delta Airlines employee went viral this week on social media after he stood up to an alleged transgender activist who was upset that the man did not use his preferred pronouns.

It appears that the video was taken late last week potentially at New York-LaGuardia International Airport (LGA) given that “LGA” appears on the employee’s jacket.

The purported transgender individual in the video, who appears to be the person holding the camera, complains that he was “misgendered” because the airline employee called him a “he.” . . .

“You’re being condescending and if you want to continue, I have full authority to escort you out the building right this moment if you want to play that game with me,” the employee fired back. “Would you like to continue three days before Christmas? I really don’t mind.”

Two Teens Stabbed on Christmas: ‘I Want All White People Dead’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Two teenage girls were reportedly stabbed on Christmas Day while enjoying a meal at the Grand Central Terminal.

The incident occurred before noon on Monday, at a restaurant called Tartinery in the Grand Central Dining Concourse. According to reports, the alleged assailant Steven Hutcherson, 36, of the Bronx, argued with restaurant staff over sitting in the restaurant’s space, at which point he allegedly remarked that the two teen girls, 14 and 16, were allowed to sit there before pulling out a knife and stabbing both of the young women, authorities say.

Police responded in seconds, and Hutcherson ultimately surrendered.

According to WABC-TV, “He was charged with felony counts of attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.” However, the outlet noted that he is also being investigated for a potential hate crime, as law enforcement sources told the New York Post that the man yelled, “I want all the white people dead,” adding, “I want to sit next to the crackers.”

The two teens, visiting from South Africa, were taken to Bellevue Hospital to be treated for their injuries. One young woman was stabbed in the thigh and the other in the back. According to reports, the injuries were considered non-life-threatening. (Read more from “Two Teens Stabbed on Christmas: ‘I Want All White People Dead’” HERE)

You’d Be Surprised Which States Persecute Religious Schools And Charities

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Attempts to sideline religion from American public life are not new, but whereas conservatives typically think that this type of discrimination is endemic to blue states, the reality is much more complex. In fact, in a new Manhattan Institute report, Notre Dame Law Professor Nicole Stelle Garnett and I discover that states throughout the country are breaking the law by persecuting religious schools and charities. . .

Disabled students suffer because of Virginia’s violation of the First Amendment. Virginia’s school districts and local governments can contract with any “public or private nonsectarian school, agency, institution,” or “nonsectarian child-day programs” to provide special education services. If the nearest option or best fit for your student happens to have a religious affiliation, your child will have to attend a further or worse option to receive funding.

Montana similarly provides funding for day education of students in private institutions so long as they are at “private, non-sectarian schools.” Like Virginia, Montana excludes religious schools from its school bus fuel tax rebate. . .

Georgia does not allow pre-kindergarten providers to give any religious instruction. It specifies that this rule extends even to programs that have both approved secular and religious versions and notes that no funds may be spent on religious instruction. . .

Though in better shape than Georgia, Alabama still falls well short of Carson’s requirements. The state allows a moment of silence during the pre-K school day but forbids religious instruction. Any religious activities must take place “outside of … the school day.” (Read more from “You’d Be Surprised Which States Persecute Religious Schools and Charities” HERE)

China’s Bold Ultimatum: Xi Jinping Tells Biden of Plans to Take Taiwan

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly delivered a blunt and candid message to President Joe Biden, openly stating that China is set on taking over Taiwan, and there’s little the U.S. can do to prevent it. The private remarks, described by NBC News as unusually forthright, emphasized China’s preference for a peaceful takeover but warned of military action if any foreign power intervened.

While U.S. military officials speculate that Xi Jinping aims to annex Taiwan by 2025, the Chinese leader did not confirm an official timeline. The timing of these remarks has sparked concerns among U.S. officials, coinciding with Taiwan’s upcoming elections and China’s escalating aggression toward the island nation.

The Biden administration’s response to this geopolitical challenge reveals a strategy of actively avoiding military conflict with China.

After the meeting, President Biden expressed his focus on maintaining a relationship with China that avoids conflict. This commitment comes amid growing tensions between the two nations, with China accused of rampant intellectual property theft from the U.S. and allegations of supplying precursor chemicals for fentanyl production to Mexican drug cartels, contributing to a public health crisis in America.

2014 Photo Taken by Jeffrey Epstein Changes Everything for Bill Gates

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Bill Gates has fervently tried to portray his association with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein as merely coincidental, vehemently denying any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities. Bill made it sound like he only had a few casual dinners with good ol’ Jeff. . .

Bill also appeared on NPR in an attempt at damage control. However, his responses and mannerisms during the interview were bizarre.

Yet, a recently unearthed photo from 2014 significantly alters the story that Bill’s been trying to sell us. The photo, taken by Epstein himself, shows Bill Gates in his Seattle Microsoft office alongside someone alleged to be an Epstein victim. This revelation starkly contradicts Gates’ previous explanations of their relationship and raises some very troubling questions. Could Gates have been complicit in the abuse of any underage and/or young women? Perhaps this is the real reason behind his wife’s decision to end their marriage.

It’s pretty clear there’s a lot we don’t know about what went down with Epstein and the high-flyers who hung out on that island. Chances are, we’ll never get the whole story. (Read more from “2014 Photo Taken by Jeffrey Epstein Changes Everything for Bill Gates” HERE)
