"...this sounds pretty whiny for a first-look official campaign ad. The script for it amplifies that quality, as it sounds as though Trump wrote it himself. “Struggling big-time,” “failing so bad,” “Trump’s support was so powerful,” and so on. It’s comic-book language for a comic-book grudge. Everything about this ad is about Trump’s personal affront, and nothing — not a single word — is about the issues of the day, policies Trump wants to implement, or even voters themselves. It’s sixty seconds of personal butt-hurt, broadcast nationally."

(LifeSiteNews) — Harris Kornstein is a college professor. He is also the drag queen “Lil Miss Hot Mess,” and he wants to perform for your children. He is one of the minds behind the manifesto “Drag Pedagogy: The Playful Practice of Queer Imagination in Early Childhood,” along with co-author (and transgender queer theorist) Harper Keenan of the University of British Columbia. The point of the manifesto, which quotes pedophile rapist Michel Foucault among others, is to explain how “drag pedagogy” can be used to indoctrinate children. “The professional vision of educators is often shaped to reproduce the state’s normative vision...

Vaccine-peddling billionaire Bill Gates, through his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is funneling money into a nongovernmental organization (NGO) that teaches 10-year-olds and younger about “commercial sex work” and being “interested” in those with “diverse gender identities.” Bill Gates has been found to have yet another connection to the sexualization of children around the globe, through his multi-million dollar annual donations to the International Planned Parenthood Foundation (IPPF), which is related to the American Planned Parenthood abortion mill organization and also founded by eugenicist Margaret Sanger, but functions as a separate entity. IPPF’s network is composed of 120 “independent organizations”...

(LifeSiteNews) — A prominent pro-LGBT researcher and “trans” professor at a Canadian university has said she has changed her stance and is calling for more support for those who seek to reverse the effects of their so-called “gender reassignment” procedures. “Kinnon” MacKinnon, an assistant professor of social work at York University in Toronto and a biological female who “transitioned” to appear biologically male, is a well-known researcher on the issue of “detransitioners.” Despite formerly denying the relevance of such an issue, MacKinnon now advocates for better care for detransitioning individuals and is calling for experts to take the matter more...

Most of the clothing and gadgets you buy in stores today were once in shipping containers, sailing across the ocean. Ships carry over 80% of the world’s traded goods. But they have a problem – the majority of them burn heavy sulfur fuel oil, which is a driver of climate change. While cargo ships’ engines have become more efficient over time, the industry is under growing pressure to eliminate its carbon footprint. European Union legislators reached an agreement to require an 80% drop in shipping fuels’ greenhouse gas intensity by 2050 and to require shipping lines to pay for the...

Joe Biden’s disastrous administration from hell has pushed China and Russia into a tight relationship that hurts US interests all around the world – and in outer space, too. Two years ago, China’s National Space Administration teamed up with Russian space agency Roscosmos to develop research facilities on the surface of the moon by 2035, collaborating in the planning, design, development and operation of the research station. But latest developments suggest the two nations have accelerated their deadlines, trying to be faster than NASA’s Project Artemis. Daily Mail Reported: “Not only does Beijing want to get Chinese boots on the...

After fifty years, the Equal Rights Amendment is again rearing its ugly head. After a contentious hearing on the ERA in February, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to bring legislation (S.J. Res. 4) to the floor to remove the seven-year deadline on Thursday, April 27. There are 53 co-sponsors for this revival of the ERA, but because the vote will be on ‘cloture,’ 60 votes are needed to advance the resolution. While proponents claim that this amendment will give women “rights,” it actually does the opposite. Thanks to the efforts of Phyllis Schlafly and the dedicated women she rallied...

Shares of First Republic Bank were in free fall in early trading on Wednesday, continuing an astonishing decline that poses a fresh challenge for the Biden administration and industry regulators. After losing roughly half of their value on Tuesday, First Republic’s shares fell by an additional 40 percent Wednesday. First Republic, which caters to a wealthy clientele, peaked at $147 per share in early February before the failure in mid-March of two midsize banks threatened to ignite a wider financial contagion. By late morning on Wednesday, its share price had dipped below $5.

It’s a wonder whether being on the opposite side of stock market reality is just in the job description for CNBC host Jim Cramer. He haphazardly doubled down on an embattled stock that plunged soon after. Cramer took to Twitter at 6:14 a.m. on April 25 to say that “It looks like First Republic v. everything else judging from these fine earnings.” His tweet did not age well. By close-of-business on the same day, First Republic Bank shares took a nearly 50 percent nosedive. This meant that First Republic Bank extended “its year-to-date losses beyond 90%. It closed at $8.10...

Former NIAID Director and White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday on “CNN This Morning” that properly worn masks are 85-90 % effective. Partial transcript as follows: KAITLAN COLLINS: Masking was probably one of the most divisive parts of COVID. I think whether or not people wore one, whether they had to wear one. A really striking comment that you made in this interview said “from a broad public health standpoint,” and I’m quoting you now, “at the population level, masks work at the margins, maybe 10%.” You once said a national mask mandate could work. That...

BELLEVUE, WA – Responding quickly to the adoption of House Bill 1240 by the Washington Legislature and Gov. Jay Inslee signing it into law, the Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the new statute on Second and Fourteenth Amendment grounds, and is asking the court for preliminary and permanent injunctions. The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The case is known as Hartford v. Ferguson.

A local governing board appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday passed a resolution to void an agreement that allowed Walt Disney World to maintain control over much of its business operations amid an ongoing power struggle with the governor. “Disney was openly and legally granted a unique and special privilege, that privilege of running its own local government,” Alan Lawson, a former Florida Supreme Court justice whose firm was hired by the DeSantis-appointed board, said during the board meeting. “That era is ending.” The unanimous vote of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District is the latest step in a...

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) pledged his support to Ukraine during the formal launch of his presidential campaign on Wednesday, where he also touted his claims of fighting the establishment and consistency as a conservative throughout his political career. Hutchinson, who said during an early April interview on ABC’s This Week that he would run for president, first highlighted the role the city of Bentonville, Arkansas, has had in shaping who he is and his career– from his first law office to building the city’s first FM radio station to serving as Bentonville’s City Attorney and starting a family...

(LifeSiteNews) — A gender clinic founder and former professor at the University of Toronto recently said that she regrets helping kids “transition,” and acknowledges that most gender-confused kids will grow out of their dysphoria by adulthood. Dr. Susan Bradley “came out against the popular model of affirming children’s transgender identities and putting them on puberty blockers,” according to an interview published by the Daily Caller. She is the latest medical professional to confirm that transgender drugs and surgeries are dangerous, although she maintains the false idea that someone can switch genders. She created the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry Child Youth...

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo — Three 18-year-old suspects, who are high school seniors, were arrested in connection to a string of rock-throwing incidents at vehicles including the senseless attack that killed 20-year-old Alexa Bartell. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrests Wednesday morning. Bartell was killed on April 19 around 10:45 p.m. after a rock was thrown into her windshield while she was driving northbound on Indiana Street in Jefferson County.

A Manhattan federal judge blasted Donald Trump’s “entirely inappropriate” posts on Truth Social Wednesday as witness testimony began in E. Jean Carroll’s civil rape case against the former president. Trump, 76, took to his social media platform about an hour before the second day of trial began, claiming Carroll’s case was “a made up SCAM” and accusing her lawyers of being “political operatives.” He also called for the dress the former advice columnist wore the day of the alleged rape to be brought into the trial — something that Carroll sought to do early on in the case to compare...

Shetelig had previously excavated a rich Viking ship grave just nearby, where Grønhaugskipet was found, as well as excavated the famous Oseberg ship – the world’s largest and most well-preserved surviving Viking ship – in 1904. At Salshaugen he only found 15 wooden spades and some arrowheads...It turns out, however, that Shetelig simply did not dig deep enough....in June 2022, archaeologists decided to search the area using ground-penetrating radar or georadar – a device that uses radio waves to map out what lies below the surface of the ground.And lo and behold – there was the outline of a Viking...
