Despite passing an executive order mandating that military members be treated according to their gender identity and not their biological sex, the Biden administration still requires biological men who identify as women to register for the military draft, while those who are "born female and have changed their gender to male" are off the hook. The Selective Service tweeted a reminder recently telling parents that even "if your son is an only son and the last male in your family to carry the family name, he is still required to register with SSS."

The president of a North Carolina historically black university on Monday publicly called out Upstate South Carolina law enforcement officers after a traffic stop involving students and staff on a bus. In a statement, Paulette Dillard, president of Shaw University, a private Baptist historically black university in Raleigh, described the traffic stop that she said happened in Spartanburg County on Oct. 5. Dillard said 18 Shaw University students and two staff advisers were traveling on school business by contract bus to Atlanta when they were pulled over "under the pretext of a minor traffic violation." The statement said officers boarded...

PHOENIX, AZ –Democrat nominee for governor in Arizona, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, finds herself amid another race controversy as she was a “student leader” during her high school days “when pupils took part in a yearly tradition known as ‘Slave Day,'” according to a report Monday.Breitbart News reached out to multiple members of the “Republicans for Katie Hobbs” coalition, who stumped for Hobbs in Paradise Valley Sunday, to see if they still support Hobbs, but only one responded to a comment request. Former Scottsdale Mayor Sam Campana reaffirmed her support for the Democrat in the wake of the Daily...

President Barack Obama described his political opponents as angry, racist, and sexist during a private conversation with some of Europe’s elites this summer, according to a newly revealed transcript. “Sometimes it just turns out they’re mean, they’re racist, they’re sexist, they’re angry,” Obama said. “And your job is then to just beat them because they’re not persuadable.” Obama offered his candid advice privately to European leaders in June after speaking publicly at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit in June. But he also warned attendees away from sometimes getting too “filled up in our own self-righteousness.” “We’re so convinced that we’re right...

In January 2017, signs appeared throughout yuppie Brooklyn. In the windows of cafés and shops, a man with pleading eyes and a baby in his coat stared at us with the words “Refugees welcome here.” What did it mean? That refugees could also come and buy the $7 lattes that the brownstone set were buying? Like most people who put signs in windows, the Brooklynites didn’t actually mean it. Refugees were welcome here because it was a poke in the eye to Trump, who wanted to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it, not because refugees could actually...

Last week, the U.S. Justice Department indicted 11 more pro-life activists after alleging they “blocked access” to an abortion clinic in Tennessee as part of a protest last spring. Video footage that recently surfaced on social media shows multiple heavily armed agents purportedly hauling away Paul Vaughn, a 55-year-old man charged in relation to the protests. In the video, a woman can be heard pleading with the agents to answer her questions, which included a query about why the agents were “banging on my door with a gun.” VIDEO AT LINK.................... “You’re not going to tell me anything?” the woman...

For millions of vaxx-nannies around the world, this bombshell admission will shake their worldviews. For those of us who have avoided the jabs at all costs, it will just reaffirm what we’ve suspected all along. During European Parliamentary hearings, a Director for Pfizer admitted the Covid-19 “vaccines” were NOT tested for stopping transmission before they were released to the public. This makes sense since it has been known for a while that experimental injections do not prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Now we have confirmation that Big Pharma knew this before their puppets in government and corporate media began...

'What happens when they start de-banking pastors and Christian business people?' A nonpartisan, faith-based nonprofit organization led by a former United States Ambassador for religious freedom says its Chase bank account was abruptly closed with little explanation. The National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF), a 501(c)4 political action nonprofit whose stated mission is focused on “defending the right of everyone in America to live one's faith freely,” opened an account with Chase in April. Sam Brownback, NCRF chairman and former U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom under the Trump administration, wrote in a piece published by The Christian Post that...

There seems to be a major undertaking by John Fetterman’s Senate campaign to make the candidate appear softer than what’s currently put out by his Elephant Man aura. The attempt climaxed this week with an exhausting profile in New York Magazine that would leave readers wondering — is Fetterman coming out as transgender? Seriously. That’s how hard the 5,000-word feature and its author, Rebecca Traister, worked to turn this hulking meat sack of a Pennsylvania Democrat into something resembling a soft touch. A recurring theme throughout the piece is that Fetterman’s opponent, Republican candidate Mehmet Oz, has aggressively and unfairly...

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will not release its review of post-COVID-19-vaccination heart inflammation. The CDC has been performing abstractions on reports of post-vaccination myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation, submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. But the agency is saying that federal law prevents it from releasing the results. The abstractions “are considered medical records which are withheld in full from disclosure,” the CDC told The Epoch Times in a recent letter, responding to a Freedom of Information Act request. One of the exemptions in the act says that agencies can withhold materials...

The Lincoln Project, which consisted of never Trumpers who opposed Trump in 2020, was widely supported by much of the media. However, the Lincoln Project's reputation has fallen so low due to financial and sex scandals that even Politico is now portraying its leaders as a bunch of greedy grifters in its review of a Showtime documentary about that organization.Of course, it would have been nice if Politico had been as candid about the Lincoln Project back in 2020 instead of waiting until after that election was safely in the rear-view mirror. You get a sense of this new attitude...

Hundreds of protesters packed a Dearborn Public Schools board meeting Monday night and shut it down with cries of anger over certain books they said are too sexually explicit for children. A heavy police presence failed to prevent the meeting from descending into chaos as demonstrators took it over and then various factions within them jostled for control, shouting at each other. Protesters often ignored the requests of police officers to stop interrupting board members.

Before tweeting a peace plan to end the war in Ukraine that parroted Russian demands, Elon Musk reportedly spoke privately with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a leading political analyst. Eurasia Group founder and president Ian Bremmer in a Monday email to his organization's subscribers said that he spoke with Musk two weeks ago. At the time, Musk told Bremmer that Putin explicitly told him that he was "prepared to negotiate" under the conditions that Crimea remains under Russian control, that Ukraine remained neutral, and that Russia's annexations of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia were enforced. According to Bremmer,...

General Dynamics Land Systems has officially unveiled its AbramsX future main battle tank concept in the flesh — or should we say 'in the steel.' Earlier this week we wrote up the latest on this feature-packed M1 Abrams evolution, but now we get to see the actual hardware ahead of the Association of the U.S. Army's big conference in Washington, D.C., this week. You can get up to speed on what we know about the tank in that piece linked here. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/next-generation-abramsx-tank-will-have-hybrid-powerplant Suffice it to say, the AbramsX very much looks the part of a future tank, with its highly...

One YouTuber learned the hard way that towing a heavy load is more complicated with an electric truck than a gasoline-powered one. In a recent video on his Hoovie's Garage channel, Tyler Hoover put the towing capability of his Ford F-150 Lightning to the test — and he called the experience a "complete and total disaster." The saga illustrates one of the challenges to owning a battery-powered truck: towing range. Hoover charged up his Lightning to 200 miles (almost all of its 230-mile range) and set out for a trip to his mechanic 32 miles away to pick up a...

Woman says her husband was degraded by having photos taken by health-care staffA family on Newfoundland's Baie Verte Peninsula wants answers and accountability for what happened to their loved one in hospital, after Central Health told the family someone on staff took pictures of his genitals. Rick Barker, 64, has Huntington's disease, and his condition now requires 24-hour care in a long-term care facility — in Barker's case, the long-term care unit at the Baie Verte Peninsula Health Centre in Baie Verte. Bernice Barker said her son received a call from the regional health authority in mid-September informing the family...

"If you think teachers’ unions were discouraged to learn that nearly two-thirds of American adults hold an unfavorable view of Critical Race Theory (CRT) or that their own outspoken advocacy of the curriculum has proved to be political Kryptonite, you’re either overestimating their concern for what anyone else believes or underestimating their determination to turn schools into liberal indoctrination centers." https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2022/10/11/race-baiting_crt_still_high_on_teachers_unions_to-do_list_858228.html
