Lego is anti-LGBT and promotes the idea that there are only two genders, an exhibition at the Science Museum has claimed. A self-guided tour at the London museum, entitled Stories of Queer Communities, Experiences and Identities says the plastic bricks may reinforce the idea that heterosexuality is the “norm”. Alongside a display of Lego bricks, it states the public believe that: “The top of the brick with sticking out pins is male, the bottom of the brick with holes to receive the pins is female, and the process of the two sides being put together is called mating”. This, the...

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., released a blistering 92-minute video condemning the Trump administration and advising followers on how to resist it. Ocasio-Cortez did a livestream on Tuesday where she lamented the Trump administration’s numerous initiatives, telling her followers, "The first order of business is to self-regulate. What authoritarian regimes try to do is that they often try to, what is known as ‘flood the zone,’ do so much at once or try to do so much at once that it gets carried in the news, that you are that you feel overwhelmed and paralyzed." She added further in her...

Innovation and liberty are not mutually exclusive — but the right balance requires a lot of vigilance. In December 2024, Congress quietly extended Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for two more years. Tucked into the National Defense Authorization Act, this extension renews controversial powers originally intended to monitor foreign intelligence threats. Critics warn that Section 702’s sweeping scope enables the incidental collection of Americans’ private communications, threatening Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Once again, the delicate balance between security and liberty is on precarious ground. Federal Contracts and Concentrated Power A handful of...

@charliekirk11 The Dems are going to lose their mind.

NEWBERRY COUNTY, S.C.—Just before the start of Donald Trump’s first term, this small county with acres devoted to chicken and egg farming made a bid to revive its manufacturing glory days. The timing was perfect: Trump was talking about imposing tariffs on imports, and foreign companies looking to avoid them were open to setting up shop in the U.S. The county landed Korean manufacturer Samsung Electronics, whose washing machine factory now employs more than 1,500 workers and brings the county $1 million each year in tax revenue. Two other Korean firms followed Samsung to Newberry to supply parts for its...

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) will serve as Mistress of Ceremonies at what social media users have dubbed a “ghetto gala” on behalf of District Attorney Fani Willis, the disgraced Democratic District Attorney who attempted to prosecute President Donald J. Trump in Fulton County, Georgia. The Tyler Perry Studios event is currently set for February 13, with attendees charged up to $25,000 a table.

🇺🇸🇧🇷USAID RIGGED BRAZIL’S ELECTIONS AND CALLED IT “AID” USAID didn’t just send aid to Brazil—it funded censorship, backed left-wing activists, and helped rig the 2022 election against Bolsonaro. Ex-State Department official Mike Benz exposed how the agency ran a “holy war on censorship,” targeting Bolsonaro supporters and suppressing their content online. Millions flowed to NGOs pushing leftist narratives, including the Felipe Neto Institute, which received U.S. funding while Bolsonaro allies were deplatformed. USAID also bankrolled Amazon-based activist groups, financed media campaigns designed to manipulate public opinion, and funneled money into Brazilian organizations that pushed for stricter internet regulations. This wasn’t...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy pored over a once-classified map of vast deposits of rare earths and other critical minerals during an interview with Reuters on Friday, part of a push to appeal to Donald Trump's penchant for a deal. The U.S. president, whose administration is pressing for a rapid end to Ukraine's war with Russia, said on Monday he wanted Ukraine to supply the U.S. with rare earths and other minerals in return for financially supporting its war effort. "If we are talking about a deal, then let's do a deal, we are only for it," Zelenskiy said, emphasising Ukraine's...

MichaeloKeeffe @Mick_O_Keeffe 🚨BREAKING🚨 Trumps freeze on foreign aid has hit the Jesuit Refugee Service, one of the biggest players in mass immigration in Ireland/EU. Yesterday they announced that all of their work across the globe has been stopped! JRS Ireland is the group that was providing the tents for migrant tent city in Dublin. They assist migrants entering Ireland and they work on their behalf when they get here. This is a massive development. I love DOGE 😂👏

Conservatives on social media blasted Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., after she and other Democrats protesting President Donald Trump attempted to enter the Department of Education building in Washington, D.C., while accosting a security guard in the process. Thirty House Democrats attempted to enter the Department of Education building on Friday morning to meet with acting Education Secretary Denise L. Carter regarding Trump’s plans to significantly downsize or even eliminate the department, but they were stopped by security. Video of the Democrats attempting to convince the visibly uninterested security guard to let them in quickly spread on social media, sparking strong...

March 21, 2024 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Attorney General Merrick Garland opening an inquiry into the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) use of artificial intelligence (AI) to surveil Americans' financial information. The Committee and its Select Subcommittee have reason to believe that the IRS and Department of Justice (DOJ) are actively monitoring millions of Americans' private transactions, bank accounts, and related financial information—without any legal process—using an AI-powered system. This AI-powered warrantless financial surveillance is highly concerning and raises serious doubts...

The failing magazine decided to troll Trump by putting Elon Musk on the cover, sitting behind the Resolute Desk. The editors in charge clearly tried to show that Musk was the actual president while Trump was just a puppet.“Mr. President, do you have a reaction to the new Time Magazine cover that has Elon Musk sitting behind your resolute desk?” asked a reporter. “Is Time magazine still in business?” he responded. “I didn’t even know that.”

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The brother of the late New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, was sentenced Friday for threatening to carry out a shooting at the University of Connecticut and to kill three people outside of the state, including a judge, in 2023.

Deportation flights to Venezuela are expected to restart as early as next week, a senior ICE official told The Post. The Trump administration is “reasonably confident” the flights will commence “early next week,” said the source. “I have a feeling that we’re going to be able to remove a lot more people a lot more quickly,” the source added. President Trump recently announced that Venezuela has agreed to take back their citizens — including Tren de Aragua gangbangers — after the country blocked them for nearly a year. “We are in the process of removing record numbers of illegal aliens...

Samantha Powers, the recently fired Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), asserted that "the actions taken by Trump and his DOGE goons to defame and gut the agency will do immeasurable harm because USAID was making the world a better place. Though few people know this, USAID was instrumental in the first impeachment of President Trump in December of 2019. Working in cooperation with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) we got the ball rolling. While Trump was not convicted and removed from office the bad publicity ultimately led to him losing the 2020 to Joe Biden."...
