Lloyd Austin underwent an invasive surgical procedure called a prostatectomy for his prostate cancer. He was readmitted to the ICU ward of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center seven days later, on January 1st, due to complications caused by a severe infection. It appears he was septic. He concealed his inability to carry out his duties from Biden, Congress, the Pentagon, and his Deputy Secretary, Dr. Kathleen Hicks. On January 4th, finally becoming aware of Austin’s hospitalization, security adviser Jake Sullivan notified Hicks, who was on vacation in Puerto Rico. Even though Biden continued to back Austin, Austin was already...

Americans are now less likely to express “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the U.S. military, with a noticeable decline that has persisted for the past five years. The latest numbers are from a June 1-22 Gallup poll that also captured record lows in public confidence in several public institutions.At 60%, confidence in the military was last this low in 1997, and it hasn’t been lower since 1988, when 58% were confident. From the late 1970s to the early 1980s -- during the Cold War and amid threats to U.S. power, including the Iran hostage crisis...

If only the Navy could repair subs as quickly as its transgender teams castrate sailors.On June 16, 2023, a date which will live in infamy, the Pearl Harbor base featured the story of Lt. Nick Grant, an “out gay cisgender man” who was a co-chair of the Naval Medical Force Pacific Transgender Care Team (NMFP TGCT). The title of the Pride Month feature was “serving with pride”. The Navy’s medical service, which can’t seem to do anything about active duty personnel killing themselves, has multiple “transgender care teams” for different regions composed of multiple specialists for different areas to “oversee...

It was a normal Wednesday commute, crawling across the 14th Street Bridge with thousands of other frustrated D.C. drivers — until out the corner of my eye, I saw the metro glide across the tracks next to us. There, suspended above the Potomac, were eight cars — all wrapped in transgender and rainbow flags — speeding into the most powerful city in the world.Even now, weeks into this contrived celebration, it was a jarring picture of how insufferable the Pride movement has become. Deep into June, you can’t blame Americans for wondering: When will this train of extremism end?Like me,...

What the Biden administration formally declared as “pride month” has come to an end, leaving behind weeks of controversies as U.S. government agencies, members of the Biden administration, and companies pushed the envelope and the LGBTQQIAAP2S+ agenda on Americans.

Two news directors at a Michigan NBC affiliate were ousted on Thursday following the circulation of an internal memo calling for scaled-back coverage of Pride Month events and directing the station’s journalists to “get both sides” on LGBTQ issues, a source with knowledge of the situation told CNN. The email, sent earlier this month by Stanton Tang, news director of Grand Rapids-based WOOD-TV, and Amy Fox, the station’s assistant news director, said the “polarizing” nature of Pride events had upset some of its conservative viewers, CNN previously reported. “We need to recognize that some stories related to LGBTQ issues are...

The disturbing moment an alleged child rapist was found with six children in his car after being pulled over for drunk driving with his pants unbuttoned was captured in bodycam footage. Jeremy Guthrie, 42, was stopped by New Mexico state police last year after he was seen swerving in and out of lanes in in Albuquerque, but what officers found was much darker than a DWI case. Recently unearthed police cam video of the arrest shows a sloppy and slurring Guthrie claiming the six children in his vehicle are 'his friends.' He is seen struggling to find his documents when...

According to Rabbi Cahn, 8 police raided The Stonewall Inn - hundreds attacked them, causing the police to barricade themselves inside for protection. The "brave protesters" then attempt to set fire to the place to kill them. (I think that's what I heard from the video - YMMV - if so, please correct down thread - that's a quick summary, note word-for-word). If I'm reading correctly, The Stonewall Inn became a national "park" on June 24, 2016. This was under pResident Obama and the ceremony was attended by Jerry Nadler, Bill DeBlasio and a park ranger (an earlier pic that...

Our children are paying the price for prior generations’ passive acceptance of the LGBT agenda with their innocence.The content in this article is not suitable for children. There is nothing more jarring than waking up to a Twitter feed littered with photos and footage of nude men and women prancing at pride parades all across North America. Yet, that’s exactly what happened to many on Monday morning after nudists, furries, and other fetishists gathered in New York City, Seattle, and Toronto this weekend to celebrate sex under the LGBT banner. Children were not only present for these inappropriate displays but...

Bud Light is serving as an official sponsor of the Toronto Pride parade, where video footage shows naked men standing around and riding bicycles in clear view of children attending the event. The footage, captured by Beth Baisch of the Post Millennial, shows dozens of attendees riding past a large cheering crowd. The fully naked bikers, some covered in paint or tattoos, wave back at the crowd. One naked man high-fives an onlooker while another peddles a recumbent bike with a gold blow-up swan adorned around his neck. A second video shows a group of naked men with hats standing...

National Hockey League (NHL) teams will not wear specialty jerseys for pregame warmups during themed nights next season because it has become a “distraction” this past season, a top league official confirmed on Thursday. During an interview with Sportsnet after concluding a meeting with the league’s board of governors in New York, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said players will no longer wear special warmup jerseys—such as rainbow jerseys on “pride nights.” The development comes after the NHL recently dealt with controversies from players sitting out the pride-themed event over religious beliefs and personal security. “I’ve suggested that it would be...

This week’s Pride Month 2023 weariness update features a bright spot in the pushback against the Rainbow Warrior rampage. To be sure, that pushback has had more traction of late, but there is a lot more to be done if we are one day going to reach a point where we’re not being forced to care. We’re not hateful bigots, we simply don’t want to be gagging on the rainbows being shoved down our throats every June. The LGBTQ+ mob continues to insist that biological males who one day identify as females should be allowed to compete against actual females...

Glib, charismatic and larger than life, Carmichael enjoyed her first 15 minutes of fame during the fuel crisis of 1974. At the time, she was billing herself as a maverick who planned to “rule the auto industry like a queen” by selling a low-cost, high-efficiency three-wheeled vehicle—the Dale—described in promotional literature as “the most exciting new car of this century” and “dollar for dollar, the best car ever!” You didn’t have to be a professional fact-checker to realize that this was too good to be true. Sure enough, within a year, Carmichael was indicted after authorities discovered that the Dale...

A second incident of young people spontaneously rising up against “Pride Month” celebrations in their school occurred on June 8 in Toronto, Canada. The drama started at the end of May, when the York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB ) voted against a proposal to fly the hideous “Progressive Pride” flag at its headquarters in June. This led to a supposedly student-organized walkout and demonstration across the district’s schools. But for the second time this “Pride,” students opposed to having sexualized Leftist dogma forced into their school stood up to it. LGBTQetc. activists had been trying to break into the...

Fox Corp is celebrating Pride by encouraging employees to read about “glory holes,” supporting a group that gives sterilizing hormones to homeless youth, & deployed woke AI to monitor everyone.

"I do it to blow off steam," Matsoukas said. Penn State professor charged with 'animal cruelty,' engaging in 'sexual intercourse' with dog in public forest A now-former Pennsylvania State University professor accused of performing sexual acts with his dog in a public forest was arrested on Tuesday and subsequently hit with a slew of charges including open lewdness, indecent exposure, sexual intercourse with an animal, animal cruelty, and disorderly conduct. Themis Matsoukas, 64, was spotted on trail cams in Rothrock State Forest naked with his collie as early as 2014, with the latest incident taking place this year. The acts...

The recent retreat by corporate America on Gay Pride Month and the backtracking by the national security state and the media on Ukraine do not demonstrate a change of heart. After a decade of intensifying demands from the Left’s social revolution, over the last few weeks something unusual happened: a retreat. Large companies have pulled down their rainbow flag logos. Black Lives Matter and Juneteenth are not as prominent this year. There has even been a belated acknowledgment that maybe Ukraine is not winning the war, and, by the way, that a lot of Ukrainians actually are Nazis. This...

Grown Men Engage In ADULT Acts At Pride Event IN FRONT OF CHILDREN SParking OUTRAGE

Dan Phillips, a Christian pastor and sometimes blogger, recently posted a letter he sent to his congregation to help parents explain Pride Month to their children. The letter (read it in its entirety below) was posted on June 5 on the Pyromaniacs blog, which is hosted on the Google-owned Blogger platform. It was a thoughtful letter with sound biblical advice for families trying to navigate the rainbow-saturated month of June. In fact, I forwarded it to my son and daughter-in-law and told them to bookmark it for when those questions come up with our granddaughter, as they inevitably will.Not long...
