Nickelodeon has cast its first-ever openly transgender teenage actor in a live-action show, Sasha A. Cohen, who will be featured in the children network’s series Danger Force. The 13-year-old actor — along with his twin sister Natalie Cohen — will appear on the June 19 episode of Danger Force, according to a report by Variety. Fellow Nickelodeon star Michael D. Cohen (no relation) — who is also transgender — told the outlet that he wants “Sasha to see his own power as an actor and as a human.” “I want him to feel proud of his work and feel real...

Mom in Carmel NY fights back against school board indoctriation and police hate.

I mentioned on another thread how bad Fox News is, and wouldn’t it be nice if Free Republic had its own TV channel. So here’s the question, just for fun: Who would you put in the lineup? I’ll start by saying I’d put Mark Steyn in Wallace’s old position. Steyn would be a hoot, but he wouldn’t take any double-talking nonsense from any liberal.

“Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord” (Lamentations 3:40, KJV). Crisis moments require us to be courageous enough to deal with the issues of our day and, more importantly, those that lie within our own hearts. It is time for an appraisal. Not of our assets, not of our property. We need to probe deeper. It is time for us to stop and seriously consider where we are headed. Are you and I prepared for what is coming? Do we have resident within us what we need to face the coming days? I fear...

“Now God granted Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the commander of the officials” (Daniel 1:9). God’s favor is the rich reward of obedience. God delights in granting special grace and favor to those whose hearts are set on pleasing Him. For example, “Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” and was spared the ravages of the Flood (Gen. 6:8). Joseph found favor in His sight and was elevated to prominence in Egypt (Gen. 39—41). God granted Moses and the children of Israel favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they were able to plunder...

Fox News's Chris Wallace came to the defense of White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci on Friday as the nation's leading infectious disease expert faces scrutiny from conservatives over newly released emails. Wallace told colleague John Roberts during a discussion on the network about COVID-19's origins that he had read reports on Fauci's emails and "a number of the emails" himself, concluding, "There's no smoking gun there." "This is highly political. ... You're seeing it as a major talking point for Republicans," Wallace said, predicting that former President Trump would go after Fauci during an appearance in North Carolina...

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are based on "messenger" RNA. The RNA is encapsulated in a lipid layer consisting of propylene glycol (a petrochemical).This is the biological definition of a virus. (In this case a synthetic virus.)Medical Microbiology, 4th Edition:Virus Structure and FunctionViruses are small obligate intracellular parasites, which by definition contain either a RNA or DNA genome surrounded by a protective, virus-coded protein coat. Viruses may be viewed as mobile genetic elements, most probably of cellular origin and characterized by a long co-evolution of virus and host. For propagation viruses depend on specialized host cells supplying the complex metabolic...

More than 465 people have been arrested across nearly all 50 states in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department announced in a statement marking Saturday as 150 days since the insurrection. And investigators are continuing to search and seek tips on some of the most violent actors from that day. The department says it is still seeking tips to identify more than 250 individuals involved in assaults on officers or other acts of violence.

When Hilton bought her car new back in the day, she paid $463,000 for it. A newer buyer got it for the exceptional deal of $180,000 (the depreciation alone should have been a bad sign)... only to find that the service fees on it were, uh.... large. That new buyer took the car in for an oil change and walked out with his wallet $34,565 lighter, like: “A Service,” which is not specific and is listed for $2,105 A new power steering pump, $2,22o A steering rack, $6,270 A Mercedes turbine-styled wheel to replace the bent one on the car,...

A large fire broke out Saturday night at a steel factory in the southeast city of Zarand in Iran. It's the latest in a mysterious string of blasts and 'accidental' blazes at sensitive sites to beset the Islamic Republic, raising questions of possible Israel sabotage akin to what happened a year ago in the summer of 2020. "The governor of Zarand told the Iranian Fars News Agency that no injuries were caused in the incident and that the incident was under control," The Jerusalem Post reports. "The incident was reportedly caused by the sudden overflow of molten material in the...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether it's sex discrimination for the government to require only men to register for the draft when they turn 18. The question of whether it's unconstitutional to require men but not women to register could be viewed as one with little practical impact. The last time there was a draft was during the Vietnam War, and the military has been all-volunteer since. But the registration requirement is one of the few remaining places where federal law treats men and women differently, and women's groups are among those arguing that...

After removing everyone from the State Farm Arena on 2020 Election night and sending them home, these three individuals and a couple of others pulled out ballots hidden under the table and began jamming them into the vote tabulation machines. The election workers were filmed shoving stacks of ballots through the machines two and three times each. In early December The Gateway Pundit was first to identify the culprits. Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea were two of the individuals who pulled the hidden ballots out from under the table on Election night: The Gateway Pundit also discovered that these...

A stark reality faces the vice president as she visits the region: Expanding aid programs have failed to stem migration. An American contractor went to a small town in the Guatemalan mountains with an ambitious goal: to ignite the local economy, and hopefully even persuade people not to migrate north to the United States. Half an hour into his meeting with coffee growers, the contractor excitedly revealed the tool he had brought to change their lives: a pamphlet inviting the farmers to download an app to check coffee prices and “be a part of modern agriculture.” Pedro Aguilar, a coffee...

To the surprise of many students and parents, public colleges in every state except Louisiana use for-profit debt collection agencies to recover overdue tuition, library fees and even parking ticket fines. Many universities add late fees to students' bills, and when debt collectors add another 40 percent, students can end up owing thousands of dollars more than they did originally. In some states, the law requires public colleges to use collection agencies if debts go unpaid for too long. Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, sends overdue accounts to private debt collection companies after about six months, according to...

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, June 5. Mr. SANDERSON, late steward of the New-York Hotel, is in Washington, for the purpose of making manifest the importance of attaching to the army persons qualified to prepare the food for the men. There is no department in which so much can be done for the comfort and good being of the men as in the kitchen. Experienced cooks, attached to each regiment, would more than save their wages, besides serving the men much better than they can serve themselves. It is to be hoped that the Government will give heed to the suggestions made by...

Karen Fann, the Republican president of the Arizona Senate and the chief instigator behind the ongoing so-called election audit, which has become a national spectacle, recently told a constituent that President Joe Biden won the election. At around 7:40 p.m. on May 21, a woman named "Andrea" fired off an email to Fann to call for an end to the controversial audit currently underway at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix. Andrea described herself in the message, which was obtained by Phoenix New Times through a public records request, as a "5th generation Arizonan" and a resident of Legislative District 1...

Sunday is D-Day plus 76 years. And on Memorial Day we honored and mourned all the men and women who’ve died while serving in our military. So maybe it’s a good time for politicians and pundits from both sides of the aisle to quit pointing fingers at each other for a day and start thinking about what marking the date June 6, 1944 is all about. It’s about honoring all those young soldiers who gave their lives for us so many years ago in World War II. It’s about remembering all those brave young men who jumped out of airplanes...

Viewers and fans of the popular "Jeopardy!" quiz show were dismayed when none of the contestants were able to answer the clue based on very elementary knowledge of U.S. History. The show aired Tuesday and was being hosted by "Big Bang Theory" actress and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik. During a round of Double Jeopardy, contestant Robin Lozano chose the "Quotations" category for $800. Bialik gave him the clue from a very famous speech. "'Government of the people, by the people, for the people' is from the end of this brief but powerful speech," she said. The seconds ticked away before the...

The Rev. Dawn Bennett, an ordained pastor who graduated from the Vanderbilt University Divinity School. Bennett, 54, serves a majority-LGBTQ congregation at The Table, a "faith collective" in Nashville, Tennessee.
