The war on children is real, and Disney is on the frontlines waging that war against them. And let’s be honest, everyone knows that Disney’s own sexual revolution isn’t just a weird little rebranding to stay “relevant” in modern cultural zeitgeist. No, Disney has become a full-fledged weapon of the left, carefully constructed to shove queer theory and homosexual propaganda right into the minds of children. As a matter of fact, Disney has completely abandoned the concept of entertainment—it’s now a school of indoctrination. Gone are the days of wholesome, family-friendly stories with clear moral foundations. Today’s Disney is serving...

The sexual abuse of children by priests was blamed on survivors and there was “no effort made to deal with the perpetrators”, Catholic Archbishop of Dublin Dermot Farrell has said. The archbishop made his remarks on clerical abuse in an interview with a US conservative Catholic TV network. Of the perpetrators of the abuse, he said: “Sometimes they were left in situ, sometimes they were moved around, because there was maybe a thinking the problem was the person they were involved with rather than with the actual perpetrators,” he said. “So if you moved them somewhere else that’ll deal with...

In Ancient Rome, female fighters were known as “Gladiatrix” and were basically the equivalent of Roman male gladiators. However, instead of fighting other men, they fought other Gladiatrix or even wild animals. These battles took place during special events in arenas and festivals. It’s important to note that there are no Latin words from the Roman period that specifically referred to the Gladiatrix. The term “Gladiatrix” is more of a recent term used to describe these female fighters. There is limited historical evidence and documented accounts of their existence, according to Heritage Daily. To the ancient Romans, seeing women gladiators...

Mike Benz joined Jack Posobiec on Tuesday's episode of Human Events Daily where they discussed how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly been telling European governments that if Kyiv does not shore up the support it wants in its war with Russia, it will "pursue nuclear weapons." This followed a meeting with GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. However, Posobiec's sources who attended the meeting disclosed that "there was no agreement by President Trump whatsoever to provide nuclear weapons to Ukraine." "Well, remember, Zelensky can't even use his own bathroom at 3 am in the middle of the night without getting...

The Y chromosome, which contains the male-determining gene in humans and other mammals, is degenerating in the human species and may cease to exist after a few million years. This would lead to extinction unless humans evolve a new sex gene. How the Y chromosome, the “Male Gene,” works Female humans, along with other mammals, have two X chromosomes, while males have just one. This is paired with a much smaller Y chromosome in men. The X chromosome contains around nine hundred genes, which carry out lots of tasks unrelated to sex, and the Y contains far fewer genes (55)...

The Kamala Harris campaign has flip-flopped once again on fracking, with a key official admitting the vice president is not advocating its expansion. Harris’ struggles balancing her climate activism with a shift to the center on energy threaten her chances in Pennsylvania, where former President Donald Trump is pulling ahead in some polling. Fracking is a hot-button issue in the must-win Keystone State, where it supports around 123,000 jobs and led to more than $41 billion in 2022 economic activity, according to the energy economists at FTI Consulting. Running in the Democratic presidential primary in 2019, Harris declared at a...

Revealing themselves to be little more than little Christ-hating pagans and paganettes, a delegate of United Church of Christ impastors took time away from attending the denomination’s General Synod to travel to a Milwaukee Planned Parenthood clinic following Sunday’s worship session. Here, they joined staff and delegates to hold a service of blessing and solidarity for the abortuary, highlighting the devilish denominations’ long-standing history of promoting, defending, and entrenching the murder of babies. The event, which took place in 2019 but which we just heard about, was covered in the UCC’s denominational website, where they explain: The Rev. Traci Blackmon,...

The Covid-19 pandemic may be behind us, but its effects are still evident across Europe. In the aftermath, countries are seeing an increase in viral infections, particularly among children and teenagers.

The levels of caffeine in your blood could affect the amount of body fat you carry, a factor that in turn could determine your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Those are the findings of a 2023 study that used genetic markers to establish a more definitive link between caffeine levels, BMI, and type 2 diabetes risk. The research team, from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, the University of Bristol in the UK, and Imperial College London in the UK, said calorie-free caffeinated drinks could be explored as a potential means of helping reduce body fat levels....

A Bucks County native, Jessica Mihos, walked into her local McDonalds only to find “several armed guards” planted at the fast food joint, she told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “We walked in. It seemed fine. We ordered and we sat down, but then we looked to our left, and there were several armed guards just sitting there,” she said. The chairman of Pennsylvania’s delegation at the...

Fraudsters may be able to cast ballots of Oregon voters who are overseas (and potentially those who are domestic) using an online loophole. regon’s voting portal lets anyone log into an Oregon resident’s voter account using only his name and birthday — and once logged into a voter’s account, it appears that a bad actor could use the online tool to cast the ballots of overseas voters by email. For that matter, the system doesn’t appear to protect against someone fraudulently casting ballots in the names of domestic voters by claiming to be overseas. Oregon’s online elections portal, “MyVote,” lets...
