Frankly, given the Associated Press' track record the past two months, they deserve to be barred from the White House press pool. They're absurdly partisan, biased, and -- frankly -- downright stupid.

For transgender students involved in a very special project at a culinary school in Pakistan, there is more to a class than just learning the art of cooking.

Neha Malik used to dance at parties and weddings for a living and was, occasionally, a sex worker. Since January, she has been enrolled in a new course for the trans community at the Culinary & Hotel Institute of Pakistan.

The free six-month program in the city of Lahore, Pakistan’s cultural capital, welcomed its first group of 25 trans students in January; the second group of 25 began training on Feb. 1.

“White House Boots Reuters, HuffPost Out Of First Cabinet Meeting”

https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-white-house-boots-reuters-huffpost-out-of-first-cabinet-meeting-mace/

“On Wednesday The White House excluded reporters from Reuters, Huffington Post, and Der Tagesspiegel from covering President Donald Trump’s inaugural cabinet meeting. The exclusion extended to an Associated Press reporter and photographer, who had been previously banned from the pool this month.

The AP’s exclusion came after their refusal to adopt the term “Gulf of America” in place of “Gulf of Mexico.” Meanwhile, teams from ABC and Newsmax, along with reporters from Axios, The Blaze, Bloomberg News, and NPR, were allowed to attend the event.”

Who is the Associated Press, who owns them, and who manages them? CIA maybe?

How does a transgender in a fundamentalist Muslim country like Pakistan get away with this lifestyle?

Okay - was this from a Monty Python skit. It's too absurd to be real.

I love thinking about what they might be cooking. Hacked off body parts?

Maybe they’ll write a cookbook about that and earn OUR money back.
