An increasing number of parents are raising theybies — babies who are gender-neutral. They don’t use he/she pronouns and conform to gender-specific clothes or toys. But there are criticisms of this system of parenting, with some calling it ‘too woke’. “It’s a they!” That’s what parents of newborns are declaring these days. In the age of the woke, raising gender-neutral babies is all the rage. They are called theybies, identified neither as boys nor girls. And before you scoff or think we are joking, a simple Google search will show that it is, in fact, a real thing, acquiring more...

This new villain sounds BASED. Birkett was an ex-Tory MP, famous for promoting covid/vaccines/mask-wearing/5G conspiracy theories, which had spilled over into the usual anti-immigrant, anti-EU, anti-BBC, anti-MSM, anti-cultural Marxist, Climate Change Denial pronouncements. It was an anti-trans diatribe that had eventually got him kicked out of the party and he'd soon after set up the 'New Freedom Party'. OH NO! THE BOND SUPERVILLAIN DOESN'T LIKE OPEN BORDERS, THINKS MARXISM IS BAD, DISLIKES GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA, WON'T GET THE JAB, AND HATES GLOBALIST ELITES?? Bond was struck by something. It was a long while since he'd been at any kind of function...

Tuesday on FNC’s “Hannity,” ESPN host Stephen A. Smith had a critical take on President Joe Biden and his re-election bid. Smith called it a “disgrace” that Democrats were “begging” what would be an 82-year-old Biden to run in 2024. “Well, listen, here’s the truth, here’s the truth, OK?” he said. “When I talk about Biden, what I said was in the class — and to clarify my statement because I saw how you led with it or whatever, I’m no fan of Trump and because of how he conducts himself. I’ve told you that. I don’t even get into...

Deferred’ compensation not on record – anywhere U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, the Georgia Democrat who’s been involved in a scandal over his church evicting residents from a government-subsidized housing complex it owns, now has another apparent ethics breach to face. The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust is insisting that the Senate Select Committee on Ethics “immediately investigate” Warnock for his $155,000 payday in 2022 from the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where he apparently still is a part-time pastor. The Washington Examiner reports the problem is that the Senate has a $30,000 limit on outside income for senators. And...

Biden’s executive order gave the game away by stating that a U.S. digital dollar must ensure ‘financial inclusion and equity’ and monitor or mitigate ‘climate change and pollution.’President Joe Biden issued a sweeping executive order last year on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), which “places the highest urgency on research and development efforts into the potential design and deployment options of a United States CBDC.” The Biden administration and its corporate media echo chamber want Americans to focus only on CBDC’s many benefits. But experiences in China, a nation that launched a digital currency in 2020, have shown that a...

Who buried the Biden bribery scandal? Mounting evidence of deep-state corruption and cover-ups demands an answer.The Federalist’s blockbuster exclusive on Tuesday revealed U.S. Attorney David Weiss was spoonfed The New York Times’ false narrative that the Pittsburgh U.S. attorney had pushed the Delaware office to investigate Rudy Giuliani’s claims of Biden family corruption. That revelation adds new texture to the IRS whistleblowers’ earlier testimony. More importantly, it suggests a select few DOJ and FBI agents buried the FD-1023 sent to Delaware for further investigation — a report memorializing a “highly credible” FBI confidential human source’s claims that Burisma paid $5...

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley warned America that Democrat President Joe Biden could be the next Anthony Weiner because of his use of pseudonyms to cover his tracks as vice president. Weiner, a disgraced former Democrat congressman and New York City mayoral candidate, was jailed for “sexting” with a 15-year-old girl from North Carolina. In September 2016, claims were published that Weiner had engaged in sexting with an underage girl. Devices owned by Weiner were seized as part of an investigation into this incident. The report prompted a criminal investigation and Weiner’s laptop was seized. Emails that were pertinent to the...

Without question, one of the hardest jobs is being a Christian leader, especially a pastor. Close friends leave you, others betray you, social media slams you, the world hates you, and demonic forces rally against you and your marriage. This is why thousands exit the ministry each year.We are also often stretched financially, relationally, emotionally, and physically all while living in a fishbowl for the world to see. Pastors’ wives feel it as well and they are often the unsung heroes in this battle.Popularity won’t fix the problem To deal with the stress of ministry, we sometimes believe that popularity...

Who remembers the Berlin Wall and why it went up? Who remembers that East German guards shot men and women trying to jump the fence? I remember. Unfortunately, the mayor of Tijuana, Mexico played the wall card and chose the wrong wall to talk about.This is the story:Tijuana's mayor took a jab at US migrant policies by recently installing a 3-ton gray concrete slab of the Berlin Wall just feet from America's latest stretch of border wall."May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges," reads the inscription on the Cold War relic...

Vice President Harris on Wednesday said people should be held accountable for efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election when questioned on the charges against former President Trump. “Let the evidence, the facts, take it where it may,” Harris said in an interview with The Associated Press in Jakarta, Indonesia. “I spent the majority of my career as a prosecutor,” she added. “I believe that people should be held accountable under the law. And when they break the law, there should be accountability.” Harris was interviewed while representing the U.S. at a summit of the Association of Southeast...

Oklahoma state Rep. Justin Humphrey (R-Lane) sent a letter to the Oklahoma Attorney General, the Sheriff of Pushmataha County, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and “All Oklahoma judicial authorities and other law enforcement entities,” requesting an investigation into ATF’s SWAT team raid at the home of his constituent, Russell Fincher.

Petty Covid Tyrants Want To Bring Back Masks And Lockdowns. Don’t Let ThemThe new mask mandates will not be about science or data or public health. They’ll be about the raw exercise of power, nothing more.A day after First Lady Jill Biden tested positive for Covid with mild symptoms, the White House announced that President Joe Biden will once again be wearing a mask indoors and will only remove it “when sufficiently distanced from others.”The news comes as health officials in major urban centers, including New York City and Los Angeles, are urging Americans to wear masks again, citing a...

The calendar says summer is ending, vacations are over and it’s time to get back to work. If you’re a Democrat, it’s also time to get serious about dumping Joe Biden as your 2024 nominee. It’s been eons since the president has enjoyed even decent poll numbers, but amid a glut of bad ones, last week’s Wall Street Journal survey stands out. With only minor exceptions, it shows Biden and his policies, especially on inflation and the economy, are wildly unpopular and that the vast majority of all registered voters do not want him to seek re-election. Instead, they want...

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) said Tuesday he will introduce legislation dubbed the “Freedom to Breathe Act” which will effectively ban federal mask mandates. The act would prohibit President Joe Biden and federal agencies from implementing face mask requirements requiring submission from public transit passengers or students in schools. “The bill, if passed into law, would prevent the reimposition of federal mask mandates in the United States — particularly in public schools and on airplanes and public transportation systems. It would only apply through the end of 2024.
