Father Facing Jail for Calling Daughter ‘She’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A Canadian father has been jailed for referring to a 14-year-old daughter who believes she is a boy as “she” and “her.”

Robert Hoogland of Surrey, British Columbia, turned himself in to a Canadian court Tuesday and was jailed after the provincial attorney general issued an arrest warrant for contempt, The Federalist reported.

British Columbia’s Supreme Court in February 2019 had ordered that the girl receive testosterone injections despite the father’s objections. The court further declared that if either parent referred to the girl with female pronouns or by her birth name, the parent would be considered guilty of “family violence.”

The trouble for Hoogland began when his daughter’s school referred the girl to a psychologist who recommended that she begin taking cross-sex hormones at age 13. Hoogland, citing his daughter’s alleged history of mental health issues, refused to give permission. But physicians at BC Children’s Hospital decided the girl should receive testosterone injections, and the court agreed.

Hoogland charged that the government was using his daughter as “a guinea pig in an experiment.” (Read more from “Father Facing Jail for Calling Daughter ‘She'” HERE)

Sins of the Father? Biden Inauguration Priest Under Investigation

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Jesuit priest who officiated then-President-elect Joe Biden’s inaugural Mass — and has been a family friend for almost 15 years — is under investigation for unspecified allegations and is now on leave from his position as president of Santa Clara University in California, according to the college.

The Rev. Kevin O’Brien allegedly “exhibited behaviors in adult settings, consisting primarily of conversations, which may be inconsistent with established Jesuit protocols and boundaries,” according to a statement by John Sobrato, chairman of the college’s board of trustees.

Sobrato’s statement did not specify the allegations against O’Brien but said the trustees “support those who came forward to share their accounts.”

He said that while O’Brien is on leave, the priest will be cooperating with the independent probe, with conclusions to be shared with the Santa Clara University Board of Trustees. (Read more from “Sins of the Father? Biden Inauguration Priest Under Investigation” HERE)

Disturbing New Bill Proposes Removing Cops Who Express Religious or Conservative Beliefs

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A new bill introduced by California State Assembly Member Ash Kalra in San Jose would prohibit police officers from serving if they have used arbitrarily defined “hate speech” or are affiliated with a “hate group.”

The bill, known as the California Law Enforcement Accountability Reform Act (CLEAR Act), claims to combat “the infiltration of extremists in our law enforcement agencies” and would mandate a background check for all officers who have “exchanged racist and homophobic messages.”

Kalra claims that AB 655 is necessary to prevent “the apparent cooperation, participation, and support of some law enforcement” in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

The bill defines hate speech as “as advocating or supporting the denial of constitutional rights of, the genocide of, or violence towards, any group of persons based upon race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.”

Pacific Justice Institute Senior Staff Attorney Matthew McReynolds said this broad and purposefully arbitrary definition could give way for Christians and conservatives to be classified as “hateful” based on the premise of rejecting abortion or supporting Proposition 8 in California, a same-sex amendment that passed in 2008.

‘Come Outside You Don’t Scare Me, B-tch’: Watch Antifa Menace Portland Courthouse in Another Fiery Night

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A group of more than 50 rioters dressed in black attacked the Mark Hatfield Federal Courthouse in Portland on Thursday, vandalizing the building, smashing windows, and lighting parts of it on fire while people were still inside.

. . .Antifa previously attempted to menace people inside the federal courthouse on Thursday afternoon, yelling “come outside,” “you don’t scare me b-tch,” “death to America,” and “f-ck the United States” while throwing water and other liquids inside the glass doors, repeatedly banging on them, and trying to enter. The attack reportedly prompted federal officials to reinstate some of the recently-removed barriers in front of the federal building including boards on the windows.

U.S. Clinic Gave Out Empty COVID Shots

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Virginia vaccine clinic mistakenly gave out what they believed were COVID-19 shots to patients — but were actually empty syringes.

The mishap occurred when a worker incorrectly assumed that another colleague had filled the syringes before the appointments Monday at a Kroger clinic in Midlothian, news station WRIC reported.

“Less than 10” people got an empty shot instead of the vaccine, a Kroger spokesperson told the outlet.

The grocery store chain, which has administered more than 830,00 shots across the country, apologized for the mistake.

“We apologize for this oversight and the inconvenience caused for these customers,” the company said in a statement. (Read more from “U.S. Clinic Gave Out Empty COVID Shots” HERE)

Alaska Republican Party Censures Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Pledges Primary Challenge

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. The Alaska Republican Party on Saturday voted to censure Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) at its quarterly meeting and pledged to support a primary challenger against the incumbent lawmaker.

In January, Murkowski joined six other Republican senators in voting to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial in which the former president was acquitted of inciting the deadly January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

“There’s a number of issues that the party has had with Sen. Murkowski for the last several years which really culminated in the conviction vote of former President Trump,” said Kris Warren, head of the Anchorage Republican Party group. “She’s repeatedly spoken out against President Trump over the years in spite of all the great accomplishments he had that helped the country and certainly helped Alaska.”

Earlier this March, Trump promised to campaign against Murkowski, who is up for re-election in 2022. (Read more from “Alaska Republican Party Censures Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Pledges Primary Challenge” HERE)

Alaska GOP Censures Murkowski

By The Hill. . .Warren said he was upset with Murkowski over past votes to preserve the Affordable Care Act and against an amendment to the most recent coronavirus relief package that would have banned trans women from competing in sports. He took issue with her decision to vote present on the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and her support for Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.), President Biden’s choice to lead the Interior Department.

But the resolution focused most on Murkowski’s relationship with the former president.

“She’s repeatedly spoken out against President Trump over the years in spite of all the great accomplishments he had that helped the country and certainly helped Alaska,” Warren said.

Murkowski’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. She has not said whether she will seek a fourth full term, though her campaign account had $1 million in the bank at the end of 2020.

Warren declined to speculate on potential challengers who might take on the three-term Republican, who took office in 2002 to succeed her father after he became governor. Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R) has issued vague threats about running herself, though she is not seen as a likely candidate a dozen years after she left the governor’s mansion in the middle of her first term.

Tucker Carlson Mocks Pentagon: ‘If The Woke Generals Treat Us Like They’ve Treated The Taliban, We’ll Be Fine’

By Daily Caller. Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson hit back at the “woke generals” Friday after receiving criticism for his comments on President Joe Biden’s changes to the U.S. military.

During his broadcast of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Carlson took a few moments to talk about his experience being the target of, what he jokingly called, “Operation Silence-The-Talk-Show-Hosts.”

“Well, it was quite an experience yesterday being the very first target in the Pentagon’s new Operation Silence-The-Talk-Show-Hosts. Friends called us in concern. ‘Are you guys all right?’ And for a minute, we’ll concede we were almost rattled,” Carlson began.

“Then we realized, if the woke generals treat us like they’ve treated the Taliban, we’ll be fine. Twenty years later, the Taliban are still here,” he continued. “Maybe if we would have promised the Pentagon that we’ll get rid of traditional gender roles on this show, change the pronouns, defeat the patriarchy and all that, then they’d send us billions in unmarked hundred dollar bills as a reward.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Mocks Pentagon: ‘If The Woke Generals Treat Us Like They’ve Treated The Taliban, We’ll Be Fine’” HERE)

Liberal Icons: America Now on a Path To ‘Totalitarianism’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Citing government seizure of power and censorship during the coronavirus pandemic, well-known liberal figures Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Naomi Wolf warned in a recent video-podcast discussion that America is on “a path to totalitarianism.” . . .

In their discussion on Kennedy’s “Truth” podcast, the son of the late liberal icon said he sees himself and Wolf as “kindred spirits” who are perplexed about why fellow liberals can’t see what is happening now in America.

He noted that liberal scholars grew up reading the great dystopian writers of the 20th century, including Orwell and Huxley, who “predicted exactly what we are going through now.”

“It just felt like we were all on the same page, and it is very, very strange to me, almost inexplicable, how all these people who have been friends of mine for life, and people I have admired, and people whose writings I read, have acquiesced to something that clearly is a path to totalitarianism,” he told Wolf in the podcast, which was published March 8.

Kennedy added that fascism is another term for it, noting Wolf pointed out in her recent interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that Mussolini complained that fascism should be called corporatism, the merger of state and corporate power.

State Giving Immunity To Drivers Who Accidentally Hit Violent Rioters

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Oklahoma House passed a bill Wednesday that extends punishments for rioters and grants immunity to drivers who injure or kill someone while fleeing a riot, USA Today reported.

House Bill 1674, introduced by Republican state Rep. Kevin West, would allow prosecutors to charge rioters with a misdemeanor for interfering with traffic and endangering drivers. If passed, motor vehicle operators would not face criminal or civil charges for hitting a rioter if they were fleeing for safety or exercised “due care” at the time of the injury or death.

The bill defines a rioter as anyone committing violence or robbery during the protest, according to the Courthouse News Service. Rioters can face a criminal charge and imprisonment.

“If any murder, maiming, robbery, rape or arson was committed in the course of such a riot, such person is punishable in the same manner as a principal in such crime,” the bill text says. “Such person shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment.” . . .

“The driver was severely chastised for trying to hurt the protesters and he even faced the possibility of criminal charges for his actions in attempting to erase the protesters,” West said, according to the Courthouse News Service. “This measure would clarify a motorist’s rights in a similar situation going forward.” (Read more from “State Giving Immunity To Drivers Who Accidentally Hit Violent Rioters” HERE)
