N is for Nonbinary and T is for Trans. Did you know that? If you were a Williamson Country, Tennessee, kindergartner and clicked on the book “The GayBCs” on the iPad given by your school for you to take home over the weekend, you would. You’d also know the B is for Bi. (You can shout it out loud/ “I like boys and girls/ and that makes me proud.”) C is—needless to say—for Coming Out and D is—what else—for Drag. I won’t bother you with the noxious doggerel accompanying those—you can probably make it up for yourself. And no, it’s...

An NBC News segment highlighting the “ghost gun” market in the U.S. has earned a response from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Activists have been claiming the network may have broken the very laws they were trying to expose as too lenient. The March 17 report covered so-called “ghost gun” kits that offer firearm parts which can be built into guns, which don’t have serial numbers. The controversial part of the segment came when NBC News reporter Vaughn Hillyard bought a “ghost gun” kit outside of his home state and then gave it to others to build...

Jennifer Rubin, a "pro-democracy opinion writer," cares more about Ukraine than anyone else living within the Acela corridor, a Washington Free Beacon analysis has determined. The Washington Post journalist's verified Twitter account lists her name as "Jennifer ‘I stand with Ukraine' Rubin," which suggests an extraordinary level of dedication to the Ukrainian people and their efforts to defend their country in the face of Russian aggression. The intensity of Rubin's passion for Ukraine is further evidenced by the double Ukrainian flag emoji that also appear on her verified Twitter account. This means that every time Rubin posts a tweet—whether it...

“Baptism and Growth in Communion”The Fifth Phase of the Lutheran-Roman Catholic Commission on Unity (2008-2019) has now come to its official conclusion with the completion of the document Baptism and Growth in Communion.In a joint preamble, the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (PCPCU) state that Baptism and Growth in Communion “includes important pneumatological impulses for ongoing theological and ecclesiological discussion. It makes a significant step in proposing a differentiating consensus on baptism.”At the same time, the preamble mentions still different views when it continues: Baptism and Growth in Communion “was studied and received...

769 young healthy athletes have collapsed while competing in the past year due to suffering from sudden and unexpected illnesses. Huge spikes in the number of athletes collapsing during games have been seen in sports around the world. An unusually high number of games have been halted due to players suddenly passing out, with many often seen gripping their chests in agony, unable to breathe due to sudden cardiac events. This staggering wave of heart issues is unprecedented among such healthy groups of people. Never before have we seen young, healthy, world-class athletes experiencing heart issues en masse like this....

{SNIP} The Russian invasion of Ukraine resulted from two immense strategic blunders, Robert Service says. The first came on Nov. 10, when the U.S. and Ukraine signed a Charter on Strategic Partnership, which asserted America’s support for Kyiv’s right to pursue membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The pact made it likelier than ever that Ukraine would eventually join NATO—an intolerable prospect for Vladimir Putin. “It was the last straw,” Mr. Service says. Preparations immediately began for Russia’s so-called special military operation in Ukraine. {SNIP}

You can call me Marceline.” The 83-year-old alleged serial killer who was born Harvey Marcelin but now identifies as a lesbian named Marceline Harvey is quick-witted, flirtatious and sometimes terrifying when explaining her anger management issues — and her two identities — from behind a glass wall at Rikers Island.

Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins passed away Sunday morning after getting hit by a car in South Florida, his agent told ESPN.

Europe is not going to achieve a competitive energy transition with the current interventionist policies. Europe does not depend on Russian gas due to a coincidence, but because of a chain of mistaken policies: banning nuclear in Germany, prohibiting the development of domestic natural gas resources throughout the European Union, added to a massive and expensive renewable rollout without building a reliable backup. Solar and wind do not reduce dependency on Russian natural gas. They are necessary but volatile and intermittent. They need backup from nuclear, hydro, and natural gas for security of energy supply. Dependency on these backup sources...

Lockdown restrictions in China’s most populous city will soon be lifted in areas that go two weeks without reporting new cases of COVID-19, authorities confirmed Saturday. Large swaths of Shanghai have been under lockdown since March 28, and nearly all of its 26 million residents are confined at home, leading to complaints about shortages of food and other basic necessities.

After a farmer was charged with murder for shooting a man after four burglars broke into his home, French President Emmanuel Macron said people should not have the right to self-defense. Yes, really. “According to the initial investigation, the farmer fired twice with a large caliber rifle at a group of four burglars, killing one of them. The self-defense shooting took place last Friday, between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., and the man was alone with his 3-year-old daughter at the time,” reports Remix News. However, Macron responded to the story by asserting that the 35-year-old farmer had no right...

The Democrat governor’s office in Pennsylvania colluded with left-wing activists to secure millions of dollars in private money to run get-out-the-vote efforts in blue counties in the swing state in 2020, new, explosive testimony revealed. The Pennsylvania legislature heard this testimony, backed up by email evidence, on Tuesday during the first public hearing on two new bills seeking to block private grants. Tuesday’s public hearing began with statements by the respective primary sponsors of the bills that seek to ban dark money from elections, with Sen. Lisa Baker speaking in support of Senate Bill 982 and Rep. Eric Nelson encouraging...

Months after the world has seemingly moved on from the Chinese coronavirus, Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson has declared that he will not rule out another lockdown being imposed on the British public. Despite the damage done to the economy and the impact on the mental and physical health of the public, the British government will keep the option of locking down the country once again, the Prime Minister said.

New scientific analysis of the composition of Roman denarii has brought fresh understanding to a financial crisis briefly mentioned by the Roman statesman and writer Marcus Tullius Cicero in his essay on moral leadership, De Officiis, and solved a longstanding historical debate.Researchers at the University of Warwick and the University of Liverpool have analyzed coins of the period and revealed a debasement [sic] of the currency far greater than historians had thought, with coins that had been pure silver before 90BC cut with up to 10 percent copper five years later...The reference is part of an anecdote describing self-serving behavior...

A real rock from outer space (not manmade climate change) is causing perceived rising seas. In the Netflix movie, Washington politicians “Don’t Look Up” because they prefer to remain oblivious to a special effects meteor that’s about to obliterate Planet Earth. Not surprisingly, the film is really about our refusal to recognize the “existential threat” of “manmade climate change.” Director Adam McKay recently tweeted, “We’ve got 6-8 years before the climate is so chaotic we [will] live in a permanent state of biblical catastrophe.” Not to be outdone, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called the latest UN climate report “a...

VIDEOThe Atlantic Magazine conference at the University of Chicago on the subject of "Disinformation" was hilariously undermined by college students asking the right questions. The premise of the conference was to give "legacy" media more power to suppress what it considers to be "disinformation" which, in reality, is TRUE information that counters what the media finds to be inconvenient information.
