    A bill that would ban drag performances in all public venues will be introduced in the first days of the next session of the Idaho Legislature in January, Idaho Family Policy Center President Blaine Conzatti said. Conzatti and other conservative activists around Idaho and across the country have protested against events in public spaces that feature drag queens, including drag queen story hour events at libraries. In September, Idaho Republican Party Chairwoman Dorothy Moon called for people to pressure corporate sponsors of Boise Pride to pull their names from sponsorship at the event over a scheduled “Drag Kids” performance for...

    A Tennessee grandfather fell to his death during a skydiving accident at a high school football game Friday evening as startled onlookers watched, according to officials. The 55-year-old experienced skydiver was participating in a pregame ceremony event for the annual "Musket Bowl," a football game between David Crockett High School and Daniel Boone High School when he was injured upon landing, said Washington County Schools Superintendent Jerry S. Boyd. The victim was airlifted from the David Crockett High School football stadium to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead. Boyd would not identify the 55-year-old, but said all the...

    I can't believe this needs to be said, but Ukraine is not in NATO. It is a highly corrupt country. It is not a "democracy." It has banned 10 political parties. It is not a US state. It has millions of ethnic Russians. This conflict is not worth starting a nuclear war over. I am not sure what drugs the rest of the media is on, but these things need to be said to the audience when reporting on this conflict. There are only MILLIONS OF LIVES at stake.

    For Tiffany Sorya, the path to becoming a homeschooling tutor to celebrities and other one-percenters was hardly intuitive. During her first years at Portland State University she admits that she was a “horrible” student. But by the time she graduated she had turned things around and was making such high grades that friends would ask, “How did you go from failing O(rganic) Chemistry to acing O Chem?,” she recalls. For fun, she started tutoring friends who needed help. But when the now 36-year-old, first-generation Cambodian American with Instagram-chic style (she has over 306,000 followers) graduated and moved to Los Angeles,...

    Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with Canadian media on Sunday said that the West should strike the Kremlin if Russia attacks the presidential office in Kyiv. Speaking with Canadian CTV News and CBC Television, Zelensky said that Russia “doesn’t understand anything other than force.” “If their message is that there will be a strike on the decision-making center (of Ukraine), the answer of the world should be the following: 'Look, if you hit Bankova (the street in Kyiv where the presidential office is located) there will be a strike on where you are. If you do this, then...
  • Colombia’s coca crops grew to ‘historic levels’ last year: UN

    10/23/2022 8:52:58 AM PDT · by BenLurkin · 9 replies
    Colombian lands planted with coca, the plant from which cocaine is made, reached their highest levels in two decades last year... That continued an upward production trend that dates back to 2014 while the uptick in the area planted with coca was the first in three years. Colombia has long been the world’s largest producer of cocaine, a highly addictive drug that is illegal in most countries, and it has faced pressure, notably from the United States, to crack down on production. But government efforts to get farmers to move away from illegal coca crops have faced a series of...

    Republicans ran to fix Washington," reads the memo from the House Freedom Caucus obtained by Just the News. "We cannot continue to govern in the same way that broke it." The seven-year-old caucus has grown in influence and size in recent years, giving rise to GOP stars such as former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, likely House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona and Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry, the current chairman of the caucus. It has long fought for fiscal discipline, law and order and massive reductions in federal agencies, budgets and regulations....

    A Parliament is defined this way: Generally, a modern parliament has three functions: representing the electorate, making laws, and overseeing the government via hearings and inquiries. I have borrowed the title of this post from a book by PJ O'Rourke I read a long time ago. I borrowed it because it fits. The Jan 6 committee is a Parliament of Whores. You can see them above. Why am saying this? First, it's a star chamber. It's not bipartisan. For the first time in US history, a minority leader was not allowed to seat his choices on a committee. Nancy Pelosi...

    BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A Kern County judge ruled Friday that Tastries Bakery owner Cathy Miller can not be forced to bake wedding cakes for same-sex couples. Judge Eric Bradshaw found Miller’s “pure and expressive speech is entitled to protection under the First Amendment.” The baking of a Tastries wedding cake is “labor-intensive” and “artistic,” Bradshaw said in his ruling Friday. “We applaud the court for this decision,” said Thomas More Society Special Counsel Charles LiMandri, partner at LiMandri & Jonna LLP, one of Miller’s attorneys. “The freedom to practice one’s religion is enshrined in the First Amendment, and the...

    If you want to get under Andy Mooney’s skin, tell him that electric guitars are dead. A 2017 Washington Post article making that claim still gets him exercised even as he’s seen a renaissance in guitar sales at the company he leads, Fender Musical Instruments. That boom has been fueled partly by an increasingly diverse player base, as more women and people of color embrace an instrument long associated with white male fans of classic rock. Many have continued to proclaim the death of the guitar since that article’s publication, Mooney says with exasperation. “It was like in the days...

    President Joe Biden is confident that after two years in the White House, the U.S. is still in better than shape when he was handed the keys. During an interview with MSNBC, Biden claimed that most of what the Democrats have passed and what they’ve done has not “kicked in yet,” in response to polling data showing people trust Republicans more when it comes to the economy. MSNBC host Jonathon Capehart asked “here’s a problem, I think, for you and Democrats, despite all the good economic news, low unemployment, record job creation, wage increases, Social Security cost of living adjustment...

    The family of McConnell's wife Elaine Chao has extensive business interests in China and close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its allies. When Chao was the secretary of transportation under President Trump, she allegedly used her office to promote her family's shipping business, and even tried to include family members in high-level meetings with top Chinese officials. Politico reported that Chao had, “designated a special liaison to help with grant applications and other priorities from her husband Mitch McConnell’s state of Kentucky, paving the way for grants totaling at least $78 million for favored projects as McConnell prepared...

    This should be a free link. Almost 1.5 million Ukrainians were left without power after Russia unleashed a volley of cruise missiles on Saturday—the latest salvo in a campaign to deprive the country of heat and light as winter sets in. Officials in Kyiv say the recent attacks, which have damaged nearly a third of the country’s energy infrastructure, seek to undermine Ukrainians’ will to fight and provoke a humanitarian crisis. There were power outages in more than 10 regions of Ukraine as a result of Saturday’s attack, which energy-grid operator Ukrenergo said was one of the most destructive to...

    Fertilizer Giant Yara Slashes European Output As Energy Crisis Worsens.. Europe’s fertilizer supply crunch continues to tighten after Yara International ASA announced Thursday that third-quarter ammonia output was slashed due to skyrocketing natural gas prices, putting more upward pressure on food inflation as the cost-of-living crisis worsens. The Norwegian producer said ammonia output in the quarter dropped to 57% of capacity in Europe, plunging from 81% in the previous quarter. It warned output could collapse to just 35% if NatGas prices stay elevated through the cold season, according to Bloomberg. Russia’s squeeze on NatGas, Western sanctions on Moscow inhibiting energy...

    One of the earliest realizations in the history of quantum mechanics is that matter has a wave-like property. Other physicists soon confirmed ...electrons scattered off a thin foil before landing on a target. The way the electrons scattered was more characteristic of a wave than a particle. What, exactly, is a wave of matter? Schrödinger...developed his famous equation to describe the behavior of those waves... But Schrödinger's idea flew in the face of more experimental tests. For example, even though an electron acted like a wave midflight, when it reached a target, it landed as a single, compact particle, so...
