Where did your name come from?
I’m not going to put my full name out in public for privacy reasons, but my middle name is Dutch and my last name is a version of the French name my ancestors came to the US with.
I’m also a namesake so add a Jr on to the end of my name. I’m proud of my father so I’m glad to have the same name.
Did you hear about the free abortions and sterilizations on offer at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week? Incredibly, the news is real. Abortion-inducing drugs (mifepristone and Plan B) will be doled out from the back of a Planned Parenthood RV, along with vasectomies, just a few blocks from a convention that will embrace a radical abortion-until-birth policy that would have been unthinkable, even for Democrats, just a decade ago.
Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance was savaged by the corporate press for repeatedly describing Democrats as “anti-family” in media appearances last week. Now, as if to prove Vance’s point, here they are with an abortion van at their convention and supporters marching through the streets dressed as abortion pills. As my colleague Jordan Boyd noted, Planned Parenthood’s euphemistically labeled “mobile health center” might not be an officially DNC-sanctioned part of the convention, but it fits right in with the party’s macabre platform that would federalize abortion law and allow it through all nine months of pregnancy.

Being an introvert, I’d put small talk when you talk at someone instead of talking to them, or being interesting. Don’t narrate your day and expect me to want to engage
What motivates you?
I don’t have to be motivated. It comes from within. I was born with a sense of responsibility that causes me to do what needs doing. I also prioritize it over other things because it is the right thing to do. That is life, work, and the stuff you have to do.
I think it comes from my father who always did a complete job until it was right. It rarely took him two tries
It’s why I never understood people who let things go
Now for stuff I want to do, I know that there is some sacrifice to become good at anything. It was that was for all of my avocations and is what keeps me healthy.
It’s the right thing to do, period.
I really hate people who are cruel to animals. They don’t know what you are doing but love you for anything. This MF tortured dogs and it wasn’t necessary. He did it outside of the US because he wanted it hidden. Well, you’ve been exposed and should burn in hell for this:
A Tunisian research lab and Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases were embroiled in a scandal in 2021 over revelations of cruel experiments on beagles, and new documents from an animal rights group reveal the Biden administration was aware of the NIAID’s coverup.
FOIA documents obtained by White Coat Waste (WCW) Project and provided to the Daily Caller revealed Fauci and his agency worked to cover up their funding of the beagle experiments the same day the Tunisian lab admitted both publicly and privately that NIAID provided the funding.
story, but that is all I’m putting up and all you need to really read about his. He’s a MFCS. Oh, let’s not overlook that Biden and Kamala knew also
Women dressed up as abortion pills while defiantly insisting that they would not be “forced” to procreate during a Sunday street parade protest of the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
“F*** the courts, f*** the state, you can’t make us procreate,” women chanted during the parade, led by a young woman on a megaphone, while a few of the protesters wore balloon-like garments emblazoned with “MIFE” and “MISO” to represent abortion pills.
it’s why they are feminists, ugly and fat
People thought that the Disney version of Star Wars couldn’t possibly get any more woke, but somehow they managed to do it.
Now the series has been canceled after just one season. Who could have predicted that no one would watch the show?
Deadline reports:
‘The Acolyte’ Canceled: No Season 2 For Disney+’s ‘Star Wars’ Series
The story of The Acolyte will not continue, with Lucasfilm opting not to proceed with a second season of the Star Wars offshoot starring Amandla Stenberg, sources tell Deadline.
Word of the decision comes more than a month after the eight-episode first season of the series from creator, director, executive producer and showrunner Leslye Headland wrapped its run on Disney+.
The news is not entirely surprising. The Acolyte did OK with critics, with 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, but divided Star Wars fans, which was reflected in its overall viewership.
Driven by interest into the venerable franchise, The Acolyte got off to a strong start when it launched June 4 with two episodes, generating 4.8M views in its first day on the streamer to rank as the biggest series premiere on Disney+ this year. The tally rose to 11.1 million views globally after five days of streaming. Corroborating Disney’s data, the series made its debut on Nielsen’s Top 10 originals chart in its premiere week at No. 7 (488 million minutes viewed), climbing to No. 6 the following week.
But The Acolyte could not sustain the momentum, dropping out of the Top 10 in Week 3 and staying off before returning at No. 10 after the release of the finale (335M minutes, believed to be the lowest for a Star Wars series finale).
get woke, go broke, every damn time.
What is interesting is how Disney never learns
Are there even any DEI departments left anymore?
It seems like every week another company is announcing the closure of their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion departments, or scaling back their corporate activities and donations focused on social causes and deciding to spend more time on…you know, things that actually have to do with their business.
In recent months, companies like Tractor Supply and John Deere have both announced changes in their corporate policies after coming under fire for their sponsorships of things like pride parades and festivals and their participation in DEI efforts companywide.
The changes have largely come as a result of pressure campaigns by conservative activist Robby Starbuck – and his latest target was the iconic motorcycle brand Harley-Davidson.
On his Twitter, Starbuck has criticized Jochen Zeitz, the German CEO of Harley who took the job in 2020 after formerly serving as CEO of footwear brand Puma, for his role in starting an organization called “The B Team” with billionaire Richard Branson. Among its goals, The B-Team seeks to phase out fossil fuels (which is weird for a motorcycle company) and “transform food systems” by reducing emissions. The group also lists as their priorities promoting “global cooperation and inclusive representation.”
The bikers were never going to go for this. I’m surprised it lasted this long. Who’s next?
So not only is Kamalaa a socialist, Walz loves the Chi-coms.
(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The unearthed article revealed that Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz had been brainwashing high school students in the 1990s about how “wonderful” communism in China is because “everyone shares” and gets free food and housing.
“It means that everyone is the same and everyone shares. The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing,” he said during a lesson on China’s communist system in November 1991.
The Washington Free Beacon discovered Walz’s remarks in a 1991 article by the Alliance Times-Herald. The article focused on his work on student exchange programs in China. Walz was teaching social studies at a Nebraska high school at the time.
Walz previously compared socialism to “another person’s neighborliness,” traveled multiple times to China, brought “gifts” from communists who lived there, led trips to China for American high school students that were sponsored by the dictatorial regime, married his wife on the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre and spent their honeymoon in China.
His former student, who went on a trip to China with him in 1995, confirmed to Alpha News that Walz is a communist who “adores” China and is a “Moast to the core.”

Don Harris was referred to glowingly by fellow Marxist Economics Professor John Gurley as “one of the leading young people in Marxist economics.”
The below article about Marxist economics professor Don Harris, Kamala Harris’ father, was posted at the Stanford University newspaper on May 13, 1975, when his daughter was just 10 years old.
The Stanford Daily article laughably claims that economic students at Stanford in 1975 were clamoring to learn more about Marxist economics, so the university accommodated them by offering Kamala’s father a position. Don Harris was referred to glowingly by fellow Marxist Economics Professor John Gurley as “one of the leading young people in Marxist economics.”
The 45-year-old Stanford Daily article, titled “Marxist Offered Economics Post,” was posted first on Trevor Loudon’s website Keywiki.org, where more information is posted about the father of the Democrat Party’s Vice Presidential Candidate. See Loudon’s articles at the Epoch Times about Kamala Harris’ own socialist ties, as well as a prophetic article from August 2019 about the forces surrounding Kamala Harris and why she was chosen to be the Democratic nominee for President.
DNC: Protesters Breaching Fence, Cops Donning Helmets and Gas Masks
anti-Israel mobs have breached the fence at the DNC.
It’s a double fence, but they got through one side on Washington Boulevard, which you can see in the photo, two blocks north of the United Center.
The reporter on Fox Chicago said, “It is beginning to be uncontrollable.”
The cops have put on helmets and gas masks.
The reporter is stressing that the cops have NOT agitated the situation. He has only seen the agitators cause problems, including throwing rocks and objects at the police.

Here’s an important segment of the social engineering component of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), passed under the Obama presidency:
The ACA provides a strong emphasis on preventive medicine and primary care through insurance reform, increased reimbursement for primary care providers, funding to educate these providers, and incentives to attract providers into primary care. The Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are especially well prepared to educate providers on the use of evidence-based preventive care and to assist the U.S. healthcare system in its transformation toward this model.
In other words, under the rubric of preventative medicine, millions of people who might not have gone to see a doctor prior to ACA are being encouraged to go. To meet the cost of those millions of new patients, new institutions like urgent care centers are springing up. Physicians’ Assistants (P.A.s) and Nurse Practitioners (N.P.s) are being used to treat these people as well as more serious cases. The medical schools do not turn out enough M.D.s to treat the 30 million people (new “patients”) who are being channeled into the American health care system. As my primary care doctor (an M.D.) told me, there is increasing pressure on him to have a practice of only very sick people. He frankly told me that he does not want the stress of treating only the very sick all day, every day.
So, in the post-ACA morass, we have too many people going to see M.D.s who don’t need an M.D. We have too many very sick people that have to wait a very long time to get an appointment with an M.D. And…we have increasing numbers of P.A.s and N.P.s supervising the care of very sick people. With millions of dollars pouring into the health care system from the federal government, it becomes a boon to hospital income to have less qualified personnel who need to be paid less than M.D.s. It’s a morass depicting itself as “needed reform.” From the Hippocratic Oath to do the least harm, the health care world has shifted to the “principle” see the most people and diminishing the quality of health care. There is a trade-off between the numbers served, which increases, and the quality of care and professionalism, which decreases.

One West Virginia dad etched his name in fishing history by making an impressive catch on the most unassuming gear imaginable.
On July 21, Tyler Rutherford and his relatives spontaneously decided to fish a family farm pond.
They took worms and a few poles, and Rutherford soon cast a line from his 3-year-old daughter’s pink fishing pole out into the 1.5-acre pond.
The young girl is only able to reel the line in, so Rutherford casts it for her.
“We all just grabbed a thing of nightcrawlers,” Rutherford told the West Virginia Outdoors podcast. “I’d got my daughter a little pink $9.99 Zebco from Academy Sports and I’d got my little boy one for Easter.

Hollywood has been shaken to its core over the investigation into why Matthew Perrydied. After it was ruled that the Friends star’s passing in October 2023 was due to the “acute effects of ketamine” allegedly supplied to him by “Ketamine Queen” Jasveen Sangha, the rest of her A-list clients fear their names could be brought into the case.
Sangha, along with Perry’s longtime assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, who allegedly administered three doses of the drug on the day of his demise, and his doctor Salvador Plasencia were all recently charged in connection to the 17 Again actor’s death.
A source told The Mirror, “There is widespread panic at who else can be dragged into this… she catered for a lot of famous people, and they could easily all be collateral damage.”
“Hollywood is awash with drugs. There are a lot of very anxious people, from agents, publicists, to celebs themselves. Everything could come crashing down. Her list of clients will be hoping she takes a plea deal – like that taken by Perry’s assistant – if offered by federal prosecutors to avoid an embarrassing courtroom expose,” the insider added.
A bunch of them are on Epstein’s list also. Wait until that comes out
As usual, any climate talk is just alarmism based on models that will never budge the thermometer, but will open the wallets of the under educated.
Here goes:
The science of climate change often is presented in complicated language that speaks of computer models and the theoretical inputs and outputs thereof and concludes that the globe is on the verge of “boiling.” Well, leave it to three physicists — steeped in calculus and such arcane matters as the behavior of molecules and the nuclear charge of atoms — to simplify the analysis and arrive at a much less alarming determination.
“Straightforward calculations … show that eliminating U.S. CO2 emissions by the year 2050 would avoid a temperature increase of 0.0084 degrees Celsius,” states a brief paper authored by Drs. Richard Lindzen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; William Happer, Princeton University; and William A. van Wijngaarden, York University, Toronto. On the Fahrenheit scale, the value of averted warming is 0.015 degrees.
In short, the amount of warming averted by eliminating CO2 emissions in the United States would be too small to measure. The paper bolsters the position of those who argue that a changing climate is the product of natural forces, that human-induced carbon dioxide emissions can have only a minuscule effect on global temperature, and that CO2 is a valuable plant food and not a pollutant.
Rather than using theoretical assumptions about various factors that are fed into computers, the paper’s calculation relies almost exclusively on “observable data” that are widely accepted and publicly available, says Dr. Happer.
“This is something anybody with a calculator can figure out,” said the scientist, who may be best known for his contribution to a laser-based technology for destroying incoming ballistic missiles as part of the so-called Star Wars program of the 1980s.
The data needed for the math are the number of years until 2050, the amount of carbon dioxide being added to the atmosphere, which scientists regularly measure, and the current concentration of atmospheric CO2, which is approximately 427 parts per million as of June 2024.
The only assumed datapoint is the sensitivity of the atmosphere to CO2 increases. The paper uses a value almost the same as one commonly used “before global-warming alarmism became fashionable.” Even if the value is quadrupled to a number favored by the politically driven Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the amount of warming averted still is only 0.034 degrees Celsius.
Harley-Davidson is facing biker backlash over fears that the American motorcycle manufacturer born with the renegade image is now identifying as woke.
“@harleydavidson has been one of the most beloved brands in America but recently on CEO Jochen Zeitz’s watch, they’ve gone totally woke,” filmmaker Robby Starbuck shared with his more than 528,000 followers on X in late July.
The bike brand’s apparent decision to volunteer for the culture wars in America has been a high-octane topic at the 84th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota this week, according to both attendees and numerous social media postings.
“It’s branding suicide,” Vinny Terranova, the owner of Pappy’s Vintage Cycles in Sturgis, South Dakota, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
“A lot of bikers are switching over to Indian,” he said. “They killed Harley. It breaks my heart.”
Get woke, go broke, every damn time, but why Harley, why of all companies?
Let’s ask ourselves who is behind these efforts, the left or the right?

Above: Surveillance video showing Michael Brown choking a shop owner shortly before he attacked police officer Darren Johnson, who shot Brown in legitmate self defense, according to the Obama Justice Dept.
The following is a news analysis.
It’s been ten years since the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, launched violent riots and a movement that is largely based on misinformation to this day.
We were played.
It’s incredible how many people still don’t know the whole “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” narrative was a hoax and never happened (even according to the Obama Justice Dept.) Officer Darren Johnson continues to be slandered a decade later as misinformation is still circulated, even by some members of Congress. This is largely the media’s fault.
Officer Wilson was cleared of all charges and violations. On March 4, 2015, the Obama Justice Dept. cleared Wilson of civil rights violations finding that numerous witnesses quoted uncritically in the media were not credible, they apparently lied in their accounts (Brown had his hands raised and was shot in the back) since it turns out they couldn’t have witnessed the events. (However, none of them were held accountable.) The DOJ also found that the credible witnesses supported Wilson’s account. Brown did not have his hands up in surrender. Forensic evidence shows Brown was moving toward Wilson, supporting Wilson’s account that Brown had attacked him and tried to choke him.

Minouche Shafik resigned Wednesday as Columbia University’s president, ending an embattled 13-month term during which her New York City campus was the scene of a series of chaotic and sometimes violent protests by students, faculty and other activists.
Protests over the Israel-Hamas war began in October and continued through much of the winter at Columbia and many other schools. The protests intensified in April after Shafik testified before Congress.
The protests divided the campus, with many Jewish students saying they were fearful to pass by demonstrations. Shafik faced a backlash after calling on city police to break up an encampment, and again when students and others took over an academic building.
She has seen tenuous support from faculty and administrators, as well as calls from some alumni and donors to resign. She is the fifth Ivy League president to step down over the past year.
story (might be behind a paywall)
So all of them are Diversity hires that had to resign, all female, all unable to lead and deal with the anti-semitism because they were for it. Hey Ivy League, get people who are qualified and not biased.
Now, if Columbia can get rid of the Frankfurt School of Marxism, it might have a chance at being decent.
Yet they waste billions on “renewable energy” that hasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of supplying us with what we need.
Among the great mythologies of recent years, one stands out above the rest, is that the world is in a “great energy transition.” Actually, the world IS in a dramatic energy transition. But it isn’t the one the Left wants it to be.
Despite hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars thrown at wind and solar power, we still get less than 10% of our energy from green sources. The needle really hasn’t moved at all over the past two decades. The more the government spends, the less we get per taxpayer dollar thrown at it. That’s the very definition of a falling stock.
The REAL energy transition is toward natural gas. A few weeks ago, the price of natural gas fell below $2 per MMBTU, the lowest price level for energy, after adjusting for inflation, in 20 years and probably ever in the history of mankind. Just a few years ago, the price in real dollars was four times higher.

It’s a shell game to move money into the pockets of the insiders. It will never work and economically it isn’t feasible. Natural gas makes us energy independent, but we can’t have that now can we (with liberals in charge)
By now, almost everyone knows that “the world is warming”, and has been told over and over by the mainstream media that it is due to man’s emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), principally but not limited to carbon dioxide (CO2). This claim is largely due to the efforts of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
A history of this institution is very instructive, as its roots trace back to the Club of Rome (a MUST read is https://climatism.blog/2018/12/19/draconian-un-climate-agenda-exposed-global-warming-fears-are-a-tool-for-political-and-economic-change-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-the-actual-climate/ Jamie W. Spry).
I quote extensively from this reference below, in brackets […]:
[The Club of Rome was a group of mainly European scientists and academics, who used computer modelling to warn that the world would run out of finite resources if population growth were left unchecked. The Club of Rome’s 1972 environmental best-seller “The Limits To Growth”, examined five variables in the original model: world population, industrialization, pollution, food production and resource depletion. They noted that “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that…the threat of global warming…would fit the bill…the real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”
Not surprisingly, their study predicted a dire future for mankind unless we ‘act now’: “We are unanimously convinced that rapid, radical redressment of the present unbalanced and dangerously deteriorating world situation is the primary task facing mankind…Concerted international measures and joint long-term planning will be necessary on a scale and scope without precedent…This supreme effort is…founded on a basic change of values and goals at individual, national, and world levels…”(Arvid’s bold italics)
Susan Rice: Harris is an ‘Integral Architect’ of Biden’s Agenda
No one is as much of an insider to Obama and the deep state as her. I can’t believe she’d say this as Biden’s agenda is such a sinking ship.
Anyway, here goes.
On MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” Tuesday, the host asked about Harris’ reported plans to highlight “unfinished pieces of Biden’s policies” as part of her campaign.
“How important is it for her to find a way to differentiate herself from aspects of the Biden agenda? Maybe move the ball, put an emphasis on other things? How does she do that and still be loyal to the fact that she worked with Joe Biden?” Mitchell asked.
“I think it’s very important to remember that this has been the Biden-Harris agenda. Kamala Harris has been an integral architect and executor of the policies of the Biden-Harris administration,” Rice said.
—
“So, there will be important, as there should be, aspects of continuity in many policy areas. But of course, the vice president will outline her vision and where she sees opportunities to advance their collective agenda, the Biden-Harris collective agenda, and take it further forward. I think we all look forward to hearing that.

But the problem happens when you have a consortium, or a group like the World Federation of Advertisers, or the group that they created called GARM, which then assemble all these advertisers and agencies, which creates a huge amount of power for GARM to basically instruct these companies on whether or not and how they want to employ brand safety standards,” Pavlovski told Fox Business.
“They then can now discriminate against certain voices on other platforms,” he continued. “If they don’t like what some speech might happen on Rumble or X, they can say, we’re not going to touch that, which then causes advertising rates to go higher because now they’re only accessing a certain portion of the market and then drives higher prices for their shareholders and their brands. This harms the advertisers, the shareholders, it creates a higher fee for the agencies and also harms Rumble creators and Rumble viewers and the Rumble platform.”
Pavlovski went on to describe ad agencies as operating as a “harmful monopoly.”
The first email was from Diageo North America, a leading alcoholic beverage company that is part of the “GARM Steer Team,” Pavlovski noted. In an email to Rumble, Diageo wrote that “there is no scenario where we approve a platform that has Steven Crowder, Alex Jones or the like. The content on your platform is non-compliant pretty much across every category we try to avoid.”
Similar sentiments were expressed by Inspire Brands, whose chains include Dunkin’ Donuts, Baskin Robbins, Jimmy Johns and a number of additional high-profile brands. “To be honest [redacted], I would be opposed to showing up on the current version of the platform — the right-wing culture of the site is too polarizing from a brand standpoint today,” a representative for Inspire Brands wrote in an email to Rumble.
I think people are dumbasses for not making their own coffee, but to go down this path after all the other companies have pulled SJW crap is stupid
Three years ago today, the Taliban seized Kabul, causing the Afghan government to collapse, and Joe Biden responded by ordering a quick evacuation from Afghanistan, which was completed at the end of August.
As a reminder, Harris was the last person in the room when the decision was made and openly celebrated Biden’s “courage” afterward.
“This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage,” Harris boasted. “He is someone, who I have seen over and over again, make decisions based on what he truly believes … is the right thing to do.”
Jim Hoft reported last year that the Taliban previously released photos of the abandoned equipment in Afghanistan and the Regime tried to lie their way out of it.

I’m tired of their left-wing bias and outright hate for people who don’t kowtow to their way of ruling the roost. The sooner they are gone, the better for all of us.
I know I hate mine and it’s coming up, mostly the attention thing. No extrovert will understand this, but you should.
Anyway, here it is and boy is it right. Again, courtesy of Introvert Dear, link at the end
I’ve never really liked my birthday. In fact, it’s one of the days I dread the most. I hate all the extra attention and the pressure to make it a special day, usually with a party. It’s insufferable.
When I was a teenager, I used to have long, exhausting fights with my mother in the weeks leading up to my birthday. She always wanted me to celebrate with a huge party filled with family and friends. But to me, a huge birthday party is synonymous with torture, not celebration. Instead, I wanted something small, like going to the movies or the bowling alley with a few close friends.
More often than not, I used to win these fights and ended up doing what I wanted for my birthday. But all these arguments took a toll on my mental health and self-esteem. Whenever I refused to have a party or make a big deal out of my birthday, people called me a party pooper, a killjoy, and a downer. I didn’t have the words to defend myself (I was still a kid), so I internalized all those insults and convinced myself that there was something “wrong” with me. It took me years to realize and accept that there was nothing wrong with me — I am an introvert.
I am now a proud introvert who can defend the reasons behind my actions and behaviors. In case you’re curious, my relationship with my mother has improved, but I still hate my birthday. I believe a lot of the reasons stem from the fact that I’m an introvert.
Obviously, not all introverts hate their birthdays, but over the years I have noticed that a significant portion of the online introvert community feels aversion or indifference toward their birthdays. Here are a few reasons I believe some introverts (like myself) don’t like their birthdays.
This one’s a no-brainer. Most introverts don’t like being the center of attention, so having an entire day dedicated to them can be quite uncomfortable. It’s especially tough when they are put on display in front of a lot of people, anxiously waiting to see their reactions while opening gifts or making a wish and blowing out the candles to the tune of “Happy Birthday.”
In my case, I especially hate all the attention I receive for something as trivial as turning one year older. I feel like I haven’t earned it, and I don’t know what to do with it. Being the center of attention makes me anxious, uncomfortable, and insecure. I always try to avoid it and redirect that attention to something or someone else. But when it’s my birthday, that is almost impossible to do because it’s “my day.”
Birthdays and parties practically go hand in hand. When your birthday is coming up, everyone expects you to throw a big party to celebrate. Introverts tend to dislike parties because we don’t like big crowds, loud noises, and shallow socializing. This aversion to parties doesn’t change when the party is ours. If anything, it makes it worse.
When we throw a party, we might end up feeling anxious and worrying if everyone is having fun. It’s our party, so we feel the pressure and responsibility to be a good host and ensure everyone is enjoying themselves. But in the process, we sometimes forget to have a good time ourselves.
And don’t even get me started on surprise parties. It’s undoubtedly a nice gesture for someone to throw you a surprise party because it shows they care enough to go through all the trouble of organizing it. But a surprise party is practically a living nightmare for an introvert. If there’s anything worse than having a party, it’s not having knowledge or control over your own party.
This is one of the things that bother me the most about my birthday. Sometimes, I just want to do something small to celebrate, like going to the movies or taking a long walk around the city. But the pressure from others to make it a “special” day can be too much. I get it, I was born on that day, but why does it have to be the most special day of my year? Why do I have to have the time of my life specifically on that day? That’s just setting myself up for failure because the expectations are always way too high. (And we introverts don’t like pressure anyway!)
Plus, when your birthday is coming up, it seems like everyone has their own opinion about how you should celebrate it. Instead of asking you what you want to do, some people tell you exactly what you should do. Whether it’s a party or going dancing at a club, your birthday might end up being about what other people want to do instead of what you want.
And God forbid you suggest you don’t want to do anything for your birthday — people might look at you as if you’re crazy. They will try to convince you that you’re wrong and that you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don’t do something special on that day.
This one might come off as ungrateful because it’s undoubtedly nice to have people who care enough to wish you a happy birthday. But to an introvert, all that attention can be overwhelming.
Phone calls, in general, make some introverts uncomfortable. When the sole purpose of a call is to wish us a happy birthday, it’s even worse because all the attention is on us. After the “Happy Birthday”s and “Thank you”s, the inevitable small talk follows, making us even more uncomfortable. It doesn’t help that the people who usually call are relatives or friends you only talk to two or three times a year.
The same goes for the Facebook messages and texts you receive throughout the day. After the pleasantries and birthday greetings, you have to make small talk (again, in a different form) with all the people who wished you a happy birthday. This can be a bit too much, which is why I think some introverts hide their birthdays from their social media pages.

Few situations are worse for an introvert than being in front of a cake while friends and family sing what feels like a three-hour rendition of “Happy Birthday.” I never know what to do or where to look when that melody starts, and suddenly I have a cake in front of me and dozens of eyes on me.
There is no appropriate reaction to that situation. Do I smile the whole time? No, that would look fake, and my cheeks would probably start to hurt after the third “Happy birthday to you…” Do I put on a poker face? No, that would probably come off as bratty and ungrateful. Do I sing with them? No, that would look awkward. Do I run away and hide in the bathroom? No, that would probably lead to a lot of questions. Whoever came up with this particular birthday tradition obviously hated introverts and wanted to see them suffer.
I love celebrating my friends and family’s birthdays. I enjoy seeing them happy and buying them presents to celebrate another year of their lives. But when the spotlight is on me and it’s my birthday, I hate it. I hate the pressure, the attention, and the Happy Birthday song.
However, that doesn’t mean I haven’t enjoyed my birthdays before. The birthdays I have enjoyed the most are the ones when I did what I wanted to do, like going to the movies or the bowling alley with my best friends, not when I succumbed to the pressure from others and ended up doing what they wanted me to do.
So if you have an introvert in your life and you want to make their birthday special, just ask them what they want to do and respect it. Don’t assume everyone wants to celebrate with a huge party and be the center of attention.
And if you’re an introvert who hates their birthday like I do, there are ways to enjoy this “special day.” Set realistic expectations, put your foot down, and do what you want to do, whether that’s having dinner with your family, going dancing with your friends, or staying home with a good book and a Netflix marathon. I can’t promise you’ll start loving your birthday, but at least you’ll enjoy it more. And the good thing about birthdays is they only happen once a year.
Former Cornell University student Patrick Dai, who threatened to perpetrate heinous crimes against members of the school’s Jewish community after Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel, was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison on Monday, the US Department of Justice announced.
Last October, Dai raised the possibility of antisemitic violence at Cornell when he posted several statements calling for murdering Jews and raping Jewish women on a popular social media forum. In addition to threatening the lives of Cornell’s 3,500 Jewish students, who are 22 percent of the school’s student population, the posts threatened an attack on a campus kosher dining hall — named 104West — affiliated with the Steven K. And Winifred A. Grinspoon Hillel Center.
“Gonna shoot up 104 west… Allahu akbar! from the river to the sea, palestine will be free! glory to hamas! liberation by any means necessary!” one of his posts said. Another read, “If I see a pig male jew i will stab you and slit your throat. if i see another pig female jew i will drag you away and rape you and throw you off a cliff. if i see another pig baby jew i will behead you in front of your parents [sic].”
The Justice Department said Dai also vowed to “bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig Jews.”
I wonder if he’s going to be one of the 72 virgins for a lifer in prison soon. Don’t drop the soap in the shower.

One of America’s richest cities sinks in massive hotel debt – as tourists stop choosing it for their vacations.
San Francisco’s glitzy hotels have been plunged into massive debt following a dramatic drop off in tourism to the Golden Gate City.
The Californian city’s two biggest hotels, the Hilton Parc 55 and Hilton San Francisco Union Square, have lost a combined $1billion in value, according to the Kroll Bond Rating Agency.
Their worth is now $553.8 million.
Meanwhile, the delinquency rate among commercial mortgage-backed security loans for the sector jumped to 41.6 percent in June from 5.7 percent the same time last year, according to data from real estate analytics firm Trepp.

Both Imane Khelif (25) of Algeria and Lin Yu-Ting (28) of Taiwan competed in the 2021* Tokyo Olympic Games, but this year’s appearance was after the International Boxing Association (IBA) had barred them from competing against women on the grounds that tests had confirmed that both athletes are not female.
The IBA reports, based upon two tests in Istanbul 2022 and in New Delhi in 2023, that not only did both have very high testosterone levels, but they have XY chromosomes, making them genetically male and functionally more akin to men than women. Given that neither athlete successfully appealed the decision (Khelif began the appeal process but withdrew it), the decision was legally binding.
Therefore, it’s safe to assume, as famed biologist and atheist Richard Dawkins does, that “genetically male boxers such as Imane Khalif (XY undisputed) should not fight women in the Olympics.” Dawkins says that his Facebook account was deleted for having made this entirely reasonable observation publicly.
The IOC disregarded the IBA’s reports, claiming that it never received them — a claim that appears to be false, given that reports show the IBA having sent the results in June of 2023.
That’s the crux of the debate, and everything else is smoke. If the boxers have XY chromosomes, they are males. And if they are males, then they should not be competing against females. Furthermore, if the IOC looked at the IBC’s results, they would have confirmed or denied that the two boxers are males with XY chromosomes. If they didn’t look at the files, their decision has no basis in science at all, and it was a purely political decision.

He continued, “Let us be very clear: the European Union is an enemy of free speech and has no authority of any kind to dictate how we campaign.”
The Washington Examiner reported the reaction came after a bureaucrat named Thierry Breton wrote a letter to Musk warning, or threatening him.
Breton wants only what he considers approved messaging to be allowed on X.
The Examiner explained, “Breton reminded Musk he has an obligation to comply with standards set by the Digital Services Act, which addresses the regulation of illegal content and disinformation across social media and other online platforms.”
Breton said if X fails to regulate what he calls disinformation, which could be nothing more than an opinion he doesn’t hold, it could “generate detrimental effects on civic discourse and public security.”
“This is important against the background of recent examples of public unrest brought about by the amplification of content that promotes hatred, disorder, incitement to violence, or certain instances of disinformation,” he said.
The United Kingdom has been rocked by violence in recent days because of the lethal stabbings of three girls by a 17-year-old that sparked widespread immigration protests.

History:
Middle children have a reputation for being ignored by their family, consequently growing up resentful, withdrawn, and disaffected. Although research shows little correlation between birth order and personality, the stereotype has persisted in pop culture characters like Jan Brady, who epitomizes the embittered middle child.
In fact, middle children might have some distinct advantages in adult life. The skills they develop as the “forgotten” sibling often translate into important qualities like empathy, diplomacy, and flexibility. In fact, over half of U.S. presidents were middle children, along with many other successful leaders.
Resourceful and independent but also cooperative and patient, middle children often grow up to be good leaders and helpful teammates. They can negotiate a variety of personalities but also do well on their own, and are known as risk-takers and independent thinkers. Because they’re frequently left to their own devices, middle children develop a self-sufficiency less common in their older and younger siblings.
Until the 1970s, American families had an average of 2.5 children. Today, due to modernization and economic and environmental pressures, fewer and fewer families have middle children, with the average American family having just under two kids.
National Middle Child Day began in 1986 as a way to celebrate the siblings who feel left out or unseen and give them a special day of their own. Until now, it’s been celebrated on August 12.
It was no party for me. I got shit on growing up and my youngest sibling has been gone for 12 years. I hope it was better for some of you out there. Whenever mine had a chance to help, she took the choice to screw me over instead of be a friend.
Perhaps it made me tougher and I had to try harder.

You’ve probably met or heard of someone who claimed to be ‘bad at tests,’ to be ‘anxious about test-taking,’ or some other euphemism for ‘I score poorly.’ The typical explanation for poor scoring is self-serving and naturally has less to do with the person being unintelligent and more to do with anxiety interfering with their ability to show their skills or with tests being unfair.
The anxious tend to do worse on tests not because anxiety interferes with test performance, but because they tend to have lower levels of ability. A possible explanation for the association is, therefore, that living the life of someone with low ability gives people a life of learning experiences that rightly promote anxiety about test performance, even if that anxiety doesn’t play a role in how well people test.
Now there are some gaps in the literature, but thanks to the size of the stereotype threat literature, I think it’s safe to argue those gaps are small.
The biggest gap has to do with the representativeness of sampling and the presence of anxiety as an interfering versus deficit-representing variable in high-stakes settings. Since high-stakes setting tend to see reduced stereotype threat—an anxiety-based hypothesis—I’m going to say ‘anxiety probably has reduced impacts in testing environments that matter.’ One down.
Since we see invariance most of the time in representatively sampled comparisons of demographic groups proposed to be differentially impacted by stereotype threat, I’m going to argue even further that the deficit account is probably right if there’s any truth whatever to groups varying in their anxiety levels. Since invariance generally applies to male-female comparisons and women definitely tend to be more anxious, I’ll wager the support is strong.
Or in other words, it’s not that you’re bad at taking tests5, it’s that you’re just not that smart.
Plant That Causes Serious Burns and Alters Human DNA Spreads Across New York
Damage to DNA results from the plant’s toxins interacting with ultraviolet light from the Sun. Heat worsens the effects.
Giant Hogweed sap contains toxins that cause phytophotodermatitis, which means that they heighten the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.
The skin’s reaction to Giant Hogweed sap can be intensified by heat and sweat, which means it’s most dangerous during the summer.
But the worst damage happens at the microscopic level.
When the sap’s toxins get inside skin cells, they can destroy the body’s DNA molecules with help from the sun.
As a result, those skin cells die, which is actually what causes the blistering burns.

She ruined multiple franchises and changed the story. While she completely misunderstood that the audience was a bunch of geeks who enjoyed the fantasy that the series gave us. It was not just the feminism and gay crap, but rather the reality that men win the wars and saved the universe.
If the woke Olympics gave us nothing, it showed the reality that girls can’t beat men in battle.
So retire and quit ruining our lives with the crap movies that you touch (every one of them). Your equation for movies will never give you a win.

Woke ruins everything it touches and it’s too bad that Star Wars was a victim
Lucasfilm chiefstress Kathleen “Franchise Killer” Kennedy is ready to retire but wants to go out on a win rather than slink away after destroying forever two franchises that were once seen as bulletproof: Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
At this point, one can only wonder what blackmail she might hold over Disney Grooming Syndicate chief Bob Iger. Her Lucasfilm reign has been catastrophic, to say the least. Under her woke and hammy hands, Star Wars has alienated a fan base that was once so fervent they forgave the Lucas prequels.
According to the Chief Medical Examiner, the slow death of Star Wars was caused by a dreadful trilogy of sequels and a half-dozen wretched Disney+ streaming series—the latest being The Acolyte, which was laughed (lesbian witches birthed the Jedi or something) off the planet. All of this garbage was poisoned by spell-breaking identity politics, left-wing lectures, and an obvious hatred and contempt for the fan base that made Star Wars a cultural phenomenon.
Star Wars is so broken, what was supposed to be an ongoing film franchise that would deliver two movies a year has now gone five years without a new release. The only news around Star Wars movies today is all the projects that get canceled.
Kennedy did the same with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Instead of delivering for the fans, she produced a box office catastrophe by teaming Indy up with a sexless girlboss.
Oh, and let’s not forget Willow, which she turned into a streaming gay-fest so hated by the fans Disney removed it from its streaming service.
Were Kennedy to exit Lucasfilm today, it would be covered in the disgrace she deserves. But thanks to affirmative action she remains in a job a white guy would’ve lost five years ago, and based on this report she intends to stay until she can walk out, head held high.
When will these SJW companies learn? You’ve got a great thing going. You have loyal fans and a cult following and then this:
Harley-Davidson, America’s most iconic motorcycle brand, is reportedly being ‘Bud-Light’d’ at the 84th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota, following filmmaker Robby Starbuck’s anti-woke campaign against the company last month.
“It’s another day at Sturgis Rally and another day of the @harleydavidson tent being a ghost town with very few people walking inside. In a typical year their tent is PACKED,” Starbuck wrote on X on Thursday.
Woke ruins everything it touches and almost everybody hates it. What is driving these companies to commit suicide?
get woke, go broke every damn time
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
A Swiss Army knife of life tools. I couldn’t narrow this down to just one so here’s some. I bet bocopro has the best answer though. Maybe others want weigh in.
Your wits, self-control, belief in God, knowledge you’ve learned from the hard lessons in life, pattern recognitions, martial arts skills, situational awareness of your surroundings, and perhaps a 1911.
Externally, I’m never without a knife of some kind and breath mints which are always in my truck.
None other than Dawn Staley lives near me. She already showed her racist colors with the Duke Volleyball (Jesse Smollet type) Hoax. Now, she was part of the cabal that picked the girl’s basketball team.
The players were mostly black, mostly gay, mostly woke, and completely what no one wanted to see. Now, they are getting the Bud Light treatment.
The USA women’s basketball selection committee released an official statement in June, several days after the media reported that they had left the most dynamic and popular female athlete in the world today, Caitlin Clark, off of their Olympic roster.
The league broke the news after Caitlin Clark drained seven 3-point shots, scored 30 points, led in assists, and filled a 20,000-seat arena in Washington, DC, the night before the news broke. Clark put on a clinic. It didn’t matter.
Clark broke all of the attendance records in the first half of the season – It didn’t matter.
Clark led the league in 3-point shots when the picked the Olympic team – It didn’t matter.
Clark was bringing in MILLIONS of new fans to the league for the first time ever – It didn’t matter.
Clark is the most exciting player in basketball today – It didn’t matter.
This was not enough for these angry, jealous women to put Clark on the Olympic team where she belonged.
The world was waiting for Caitlin Clark to play in the Paris Olympics, the WNBA brass gave the US and the world the middle finger.
The USA team is drawing the lowest attendance of all the teams.
Well Dawn, BIOYA

Dear Media and race baiters like BLM, Al Sharpton, Joy Reid, Whoopie, liberals and the Squad, stop gaslighting us. It was Westerners who ended the practice. They are doing it to mislead people and raise money off of the ignorant by blaming America and inciting unrest.
The racists that were stopped in America were all Democrats.
Today, people are taught, that when it comes to slavery, America was the worst.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., actually said, “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it.”
An MSNBC “expert” claims that “American slavery was worse because slaves were treated as property.”
“That’s complete nonsense,” replies political science professor Wilfred Reilly in my new video. “Generational slavery, [where] if you’re the son of a slave, you’re a slave … that was extraordinarily common.”
Reilly’s new book “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me” rebuts the anti-American propaganda that dominates many American schoolbooks today.
Partly thanks to The New York Times’ “1619 Project,” students are taught that “America’s slavery [was] unlike anything that had existed before.”
“There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging your historical mistakes,” Reilly responds. “I’m Black, Irish, a bit Native American … . Those are three peoples who have experienced a great deal historically. Nothing wrong with acknowledging that. But it’s extremely odd to focus only on the negatives of your society. And to exaggerate those!”
Kids are now taught that slavers bought people in Africa and shipped them to the United States. Few are taught that most were shipped elsewhere.
“Between 10.7 million and 12 million slaves from Africa went to the New World. We got a little under 400,000,” says Reilly. That’s less than 4%.
“The extreme focus on slavery in the United States, why did that happen?” asks Reilly. “One reason is that a lot of black people survived here. Slavery was harsh, but a lot less harsh than clearing the Brazilian jungle.”
“But American blacks are at a disadvantage,” I push back. “They have less capital, financial and educational capital. What’s the harm in pointing out how abusive white people were?”
“The harm,” he replies, “is that pointing out how abusive white people were is not going to get black Americans any more capital. Most problems in the modern black community don’t have anything to do with historical ethnic conflict 160 years ago.”
Reilly says today’s problems began when government welfare began.
“Crime in the black community,” he says, “increased about 800% between [around] 1963 and 1993. Racism didn’t increase between 1960 and the modern era. You’re looking at the impacts of the Great Society, the welfare programs.”
It’s better to teach the truth, says Reilly. Almost every society had slavery.
Years later, the first people who seriously tried to abolish slavery were white Westerners: The British and then Americans. They called slavery immoral.
“The Arabs were history’s premier slave traders. Muslims took so many blond slaves out of the [Slavic] region, they gave the world the name ‘Slav’ [or] ‘slave,’ to the global slave population.”
Arabs captured and enslaved more than 1 million Europeans.
“Yeah, the British navy,” Reilly explains, “in a story almost no one now knows, sank 1,600 slave ships. They freed 150,000 people that were enslaved at the time.”
By contrast, Saudi Arabia only abolished slavery in 1962. And even now, the Global Slavery Index estimates that there are still 700,000 slaves in Saudi Arabia.
“Where there were no Westerners,” Reilly notes, “you’d have a lot of slavery for a long time.”
American slavery was horrible. But it wasn’t unique. And we didn’t “create it.” Our culture would be healthier if we learned about that.
Schools dwelling on early America’s evils hasn’t helped Americans get over them.
Gallup polls show that since schools started focusing on racism, race relations has gotten worse.
“The idea of generational slavery, the idea of slave trading,” Reilly says, “none of that was unique to America. You don’t need radicalism to critique the worst excess of an existing system. All you need is incrementalism and honesty.”
Next week, I’ll report on another myth; namely, the claim that, before Christopher Columbus, the natives were “kind stewards of the environment.”
Kids believe it. After all, it’s what Disney movies teach.
But that’s not true either.
Social media is just another form of addiction. The Chinese master this (think of all the Fentanyl they ship to the USA through Mexico). Get rid of it.
TikTok is already banned at the federal level, but the latest ban in the U.S. House of Representatives includes a handful of other ByteDance apps you or someone in your life might be using:
If you think the ByteDance paranoia is overblown, here’s the laundry list of data you give up every time you scroll TikTok. It’s safe to assume other ByteDance-developed apps do the same.
It’s a long list, so slow down while you read it. Remember, all this is being sent to China:
TikTok also embeds data into its images and ads to track the time and date you view a page, complete with a description. The amount of data TikTok collects is so extensive that it can come dangerously close to cloning your entire phone.
Where TikTok stores its data has also been a major red flag for Congress. Information collected in the U.S. is connected straight to servers in China, though the company says it’s changed its systems to store American data in the U.S. Yeah, right. That won’t stop China from getting it — who are they kidding?

There could be no single example underscoring what is wrong with the international woke movement than what occurred during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Paris, France, on July 26. What happened there was wokeism “run amuck.” It totally ignored two simple rules that should govern human behavior in free societies to nurture fairness and civility.
Let us examine what occurred at the opening ceremonies.
Many observers were shocked to see the famous painting by Leonardo Da Vinci of the Last Supper of Jesus with his 12 apostles grossly mocked, depicted in a scene involving sexualized drag queens. Some advertisers were so repulsed by it – such as Mississippi’s largest telecommunications company C-Spire – that their advertisements were immediately pulled.
While the Olympic Committee issued an apology the next day about the depiction and removed their video of the event from the internet, its statement was somewhat shocking in itself. It claimed the depiction was not intended to “be subversive or shock people or mock people.” As much time as the committee had to prepare for the opening ceremonies and with Catholicism being the world’s largest religion, it is absurd to believe committee members gave no thought as to whether any offense would be taken by the depiction.
One can only imagine the violent fallout that would have resulted had Olympic organizers decided instead to portray the world’s second largest religion – Islam – in such a light by having Prophet Muhammad depicted by a drag queen. Obviously, more thought was given as to why that should not be done, remembering the 12 staff members of the French magazine Charlie Hebdo who were killed in 2015 by Muslims upset about Muhammad’s depiction on its cover.
Let’s not forget about biological men beating the crap out of girls in boxing and actual pieces of shit floating in the Seine during the triathlon.
Why are you so quiet?
As an introvert, I’ve been asked this question countless times. It mostly happened when I was a child, but I distinctly remember one instance in high school when someone asked if I was mute. I replied that I simply didn’t like talking that much.
Growing up, I was the shy girl who preferred reading and writing stories over engaging in conversation. Classmates would ask me this question, while teachers and other adults would often sigh and comment, “Oh, she’s so quiet!”
Not all introverts are shy and quiet, but I happen to possess both these traits. And, I require much more alone time than most people around me.
In an effort to help the world better understand us “quiet ones” — and perhaps spare some of my fellow introverts from having to answer this annoying question — here are five reasons why an introvert might not be talking.
The list is here. Click to see if one of them is you or someone you know
The takeaway: Don’t try to force an introvert to talk more or change them into an extrovert. It won’t happen. Love them for who they are because there’s nothing wrong with being an introvert.
Thanks again to Introvert Dear who makes my life more understandable.
French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati’s bulge might have played a role in costing him Olympic gold — but now it’s given him the chance for some major green.
After Ammirati’s bulge clipped the crossbar during his pole vault heat at the 2024 Summer Olympics on Saturday, August 3, the image spread like wildfire on social media as viewers marveled at his endowment, while lamenting what it had taken from him.
As it turns out, Ammirati’s misfortune also caught the attention of adult entertainment company CamSoda who offered him $250,000 in exchange for a 60-minute cam show.
In a letter obtained by Us Weekly, CamSoda Vice President Daryn Parker made the offer to Ammirati, 21, to show off his “goods” in exchange for the big payday.

I asked a Facebook group of 58,000 women to tell me their biggest dating app red flags.
What is one thing on a man’s dating profile that will instantly make you swipe left or un-match?
I got hundreds of responses, but they all boiled down to the same seven answers.
And — perhaps surprisingly — none of them had anything to do with looks, height or holding a fish.
So let’s get to it.
7. Kids In Photos
This doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t want to date a man who has children. They just feel it’s irresponsible to put your child’s face on a dating app.
“I understand loving your children and making it very clear that they are a part of your life,” one woman wrote. “But also, it’s an app where hundreds of people can just access your stuff and keep on keeping on. Like I’ve seen what people do to grown women’s posts on the Internet. I would never put a picture of my child on Tinder or any other app.”
6. Photos With Women
Other than maybe your mom.
One time, a guy told me he includes photos of himself with hot girls on his dating profile because it sends a subliminal message that he’s a catch “since he can get hot women.”
And if that’s not the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, it’s in the top 10.
Just like your wife or girlfriend doesn’t want to look at pictures of you with your ex, potential matches don’t want to feel like it’s a competition before they’ve even gone on a first date.
5. Can’t Hold A Conversation
I think one of the reasons dating apps could not keep my interest is because many of the men simply could not hold a stimulating conversation.
Just an endless stream of, Hey, wyd? Sup? How was your day? over and over again until we both lose interest and quit talking to each other.
I’d say about 99 percent of dating app matches never make it out of the chat.
4. “Not Into Drama”
This was a new one for me, but A LOT of women said it. So clearly, it’s a common line on men’s dating profiles.
“If he has ‘not into drama’ in his bio, it means he IS the drama,” one woman wrote.
Apparently a lot of men also don’t like women who “take themselves seriously.”
3. They Want To Talk On Snapchat
“What’s your snap?”
Three words that will make any woman’s eyes roll to the back of her head — and not in a fun way.
If a grown man only wants to communicate on Snapchat, he is in a relationship or married. Every single time. You might as well write “I’m a cheater” on your forehead and call it a day.
2. Shirtless Photos
This one was my answer, and I’m glad to see I’m not alone. Because this got the second-most mentions out of all the red flags.
A fundamental difference between men and women: If a very hot woman posts a half naked selfie on a dating app, every single man is swiping right. If a very hot man posts a shirtless mirror selfie on a dating app, women are repulsed.
The shirtless mirror selfie (or maybe worse, the pulling-up-my-shirt-to-show-my-abs selfie) is the dead giveaway of douchery. I don’t care if the guy is built like a renaissance statue — I want nothing to do with the level of narcissism he brings to the table.
And — drum roll — the No. 1 answer from the Facebook group. The BIGGEST red flag…
1. Getting Sexual Too Quickly
The ladies have spoken.
If a man immediately starts talking about sex or — God forbid — sends an unsolicited dick pic, it’s game over.
“Not only is it annoying if a guy goes immediately to sex, but it also tells me he’s talking like that to any woman who will entertain it,” one woman wrote.
Just so the men know: If a woman has ever played along with your sexting, then she really likes you. Because that does nothing for us. Dudes get so worked up and horny when they’re sexting. Meanwhile, she’s in the kitchen microwaving noodles in her baggy flannel jammies.
on the other hand, too many piercings, lots of tattoos, unnatural hair dye, a lot of cats, overly emotional outbursts, and being a feminist are red flags the other way. If they generalize that “all men are”, your clue is that all men should be out of there.
In the coming days and weeks, you will hear a lot about Tim Walz. You’ll hear about his leadership, you’ll hear about his time in office, and you’ll hear about his military service.
But here’s the truth you won’t hear from the mainstream media: Tim Walz abandoned his men before a combat deployment and he abandoned his city when it was literally on fire.
That’s the kind of leader Tim Walz truly is.
You’re already no doubt hearing about how Walz spent 24 years in the Army National Guard and retired as a command sergeant major. He is fond of referring to himself as the highest-ranking enlisted soldier to serve in Congress.
Here’s the truth: He indeed spent 24 years as an enlisted soldier in the Minnesota National Guard. As far as I can tell, he deployed once to Italy and once to Norway. But when it was finally his turn to deploy in the actual Global War on Terror, Walz instead chose his own aspirations over leadership. In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018, veterans from his unit said Walz retired from the National Guard after learning his battalion would be deployed to Iraq—though he assured his troops he would join them.
Walz would have been the Battalion Command Sergeant Major, the highest-ranking non-commissioned officer and arguably the most important leader in his unit. And in the moment they needed him most, when they were about to deploy to Iraq, Walz chose to abandon his men to run for Congress. According to sources within the unit, three of his soldiers died on that deployment.
This isn’t a leader. This is a man who uses others to further his own ambitions, then discards them when they become inconvenient. He abandoned his men and left the military before completing the school necessary to become a Command Sergeant Major—though this hasn’t stopped him from using the title on the Minnesota government site in his bio.
To me as a combat veteran, this kind of abdication of leadership is unforgivable. It’s the true measure of the man, and all I need to know about him.
Not only is he a traitor and a coward, he’s not fit to be a leader. Ironically, one has to question Kamala’s choice of VP and her leadership capabilities also.
(STUDY) Excessive Internet usage impacts key parts of the teenage brain
A 2023 Statista survey found that U.S. teenagers spent an average of 4.8 hours on social media platforms every day, with girls spending an average of 5.3 hours compared to 4.4 hours for boys.
“Being as excessive and addictive screen use is routinely listed as one of parents’ biggest concerns for children, I think it’s overdue that we start educating children as early as possible about the dangers of unhealthy and mindless screen use,” Anthony Anzalone, a clinical psychologist at Stony Brook Medicine, told The Epoch Times.
A systematic review from the University College London, published in June in PLOS Mental Health, looked at 12 studies involving 237 youths aged 10 to 19 who had a formal diagnosis of internet addiction between 2013 and 2023. All the studies were conducted in Asian countries.
Researchers defined internet addiction as an inability to resist the urge to use the internet, which negatively affects mental well-being, as well as aspects of social, educational, and work life.
Mom’s terrified of the most anti-parent candidate
Moms across the country say Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is the most anti-parent running mate Vice President Kamala Harris could have chosen.
“The worst part is that Walz claims to care about kids, but his policies have done nothing but hurt kids,” Rochester, Minnesota, mother of three Jeannine Buntrock told The Daily Signal. “Walz is a loyal soldier for the progressive movement, and will advance that cause, no matter the cost to Minnesotan families and children.”
Patently Anti-Religious’: Tim Walz’s History of Restricting Faith-Based Institutions
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has faced multiple lawsuits accusing him of infringing on religious liberty during his six years as Minnesota governor.
Walz encountered legal challenges for COVID-19 lockdown policies that religious organizations argued were discriminatory, placing stricter requirements on churches than businesses. He also encountered pushback after signing a law that stripped faith-based schools of funding for a program that offers free college credits to high school students.
Walz loves socialism. He allowed Minnesota to burn during the George Floyd riots. He made people snitch on their neighbors during COVID.
Tim Walz is a perfect choice for Kamala Harris.
He let BLM rioters, arsonists, and looters rampage through his state and she encouraged donations to the bail fund for the few who were arrested. pic.twitter.com/xA9I6i6yfF

Kamala Picking Walz: “This is doubling down on leftism and doubling down on anti-Israelism”
Tim Walz is about as far left as you’re going to get. That tells us that that is how Kamala Harris will govern. If she gets elected president, there’s no turning back. It will be a hard left administration, even more so than Biden.
So they have doubled down on socialism. They have doubled down on leftism. They have doubled down on all of those big government priorities. So that’s the number one takeaway.
Trump Campaign on Harris Choice: ‘Tim Walz is a Dangerously Liberal Extremist’
“By picking Tim Walz as her running mate, Kamala Harris not only bent the knee to the radical left, she doubled down on her dangerously liberal, weak, and failed agenda. Walz would be a rubberstamp for Kamala to wage war on American energy, continue aiding and abetting an invasion on our border, and embolden our adversaries as the world is brought to the brink of World War III. Americans will reject the Harris-Walz ticket and choose to make American Great Again by electing President Trump!” said Brian Hughes, Trump Campaign Senior Advisor.
Van Jones: Harris Appeases ‘Anti-Jewish’ Democrats by Picking Walz
Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz because Josh Shapiro is Jewish
And worst of all (maybe) a shirker in the military:
Tim Walz has embellished and selectively omitted facts and circumstances of his military career for years.
We, retired Command Sergeants Major of the Minnesota National Guard, feel it is our duty and responsibility to bring forth the truth as we know it concerning his service record. So, we have put together a timeline of his service post 9/11. To the best of our knowledge, this information is completely true, having been verified by all those who served in positions with first hand knowledge of the facts and circumstances of his service and departure from the Minnesota National Guard. Many of the dates and time frames are from his official discharge document and the reduction order reducing him to Master Sergeant.
MORE – but see how he let his fellow soldiers down by never completing a rank, traitor.
Fellow veteran speaks out on Walz’s misleading statements about military record
“As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit,” said Tom Behrends, a retired command sergeant major who replaced Gov. Tim Walz on a deployment to Iraq.
On a 150-year-old farm in Brewster, Tom Behrends hopes his tell-it-like-it-is style will finally get the attention he believes it deserves in Minnesota’s race for governor.
“The public needs to know how pathetic his leadership was as a National Guardsman,” Behrends said about Gov. Tim Walz.
“He abandoned us. What the hell kind of leader does that? As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit,” Behrends said.
Before I post the story, I know a lot of people who live there. The school teachers tell me instead of stop, drop and roll, how to get away from the rapists. They told me the immigrants moved in and ruined everything. They suck the money out of the social system and made Sweden the rape capital of the world.
Now the story:
This article was written by Swedish independent journalist Peter Imanuelsen, also known as PeterSweden. You can follow him at PeterSweden.com.
What do you think when you hear about my home country of Sweden? 40 years ago, most people would have thought about it as one of the most peaceful countries on earth. And that was true.
But things have changed drastically. Decades of Socialist policies have destroyed Sweden.
Now we have some official statistics from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (BRÅ)
34% of women and 18% of men say that they either feel ”unsafe” or ”very unsafe” being outside in their own neighborhood in the evening.
Among women and girls aged 16 – 19 years old, a whopping 44% say that they don’t feel safe being outside in the evening.
Turns out that since 2015, there has been a massive increase where people have self-reported being victims of a crime.
A whopping 4.7% of people report having been the victim of a sexual crime, up from 2% back in 2014. That is more than 100% increase!
The last 9 years there has been a whopping 80.928 reported rapes in Sweden. We now have one of the highest number of rapes in the entire world.
I have been warning about this development for years, but I was ridiculed by the mainstream media and ”experts”.
The weird thing is, that many people still continue to vote for more Socialism despite these horrible statistics.
I can even remember self-proclaimed feminist and Swedish singer Zara Larsson attacking me on social media many years ago while ignoring the rape crisis in Sweden. You can’t make it up.
You can read my in-depth article on the truth about the Swedish rape crisis from a few years ago here.
It’s obvious the Democrat Party is not one for families or those seeking family formation anymore, so why would they try to appeal to that?
They aren’t, and according to 2022 national exit polling, unmarried women are the Democrats’ main voting bloc now. They supported the Democrats 68 to 31 percent. Exit polling also showed married men (59 to 39 percent), married women (56 to 42 percent) and unmarried men (52 to 45 percent) voted Republican.
This political sex gap has only widened further. President Biden reportedly carried young men by 26 points in 2020. A few months ago, however, before he dropped out of the race, one poll showed that edge dropping to just 6 points.
White men and married families won’t find real or meaningful advocates in a political party that has gleefully worked against and mocked their interests and values for the better part of a decade.
The Harris campaign knows who its real voting base is, and, despite appearances, it’s fully committed to it. All the ham-handed pro-Harris appearances from actors who portrayed Luke Skywalker, the Hulk, or Samwise Gamgee, won’t change that.
Don’t piss off white guys, they’ve done a lot over the years. They might be quiet, but pack a punch when provoked.
At 10:15 PM ET, Bell had a 54.3% lead.
Bush is in second at 42.4%.
How about not being antisemitic? Just a thought.
Bush not only hates Israel, but also white people, the police, and females. We’re just birthing people!
She came under fire for “mismanaged” security funds.
They thought they were hip. They turned out to be useless and Freedom haters. Just because you are young doesn’t make you smart or useful.
Another DEI hire is gone and we get less woke this way
(ZEROHEDGE) – Undercover footage reported by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project from Muckracker.com reveals that 14% of illegal immigrants in a single apartment complex in Georgia admitted to being registered to vote. The video, taken by journalist Carlos Arellano, has over 21 million views as of this writing.
Under the Biden-Harris administration, at least 99 illegal aliens on America’s terrorist watchlist have been released into the United States, according to a congressional report.
“As if the record-breaking number of border encounters of illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist is not concerning enough, the Biden-Harris administration has released some of the aliens into the interior of the United States,” says the new report from the House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement.
From the start of fiscal year 2021 through the end of fiscal 2023, the Border Patrol says, it encountered 282 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist between ports of entry at the southern border. Since the start of fiscal 2024 on Oct. 1, the Border Patrol has encountered an additional 93 foreign nationals on the terrorist watchlist along the border.

What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it?
When I started hunting, I had to buy a tree stand, camo clothes, a gun, and corn to grow to in a field to attract them. I then had to get the tools to process the deer after harvesting it and the same for my son.
I could have bought a venison dinner for under $50 bucks, but probably spent thousands on that first meal.
Absolutely worth it and every deer after that. I guess the cost of the above listed amortized over all the deer, but that first one cost a lot.
We still have some cows in Cowhampshire, so this will be of interest to farmers, farm advocates, livestock enthusiasts, food security folks, and anyone looking for another opportunity to debunk climate cultists about emissions from tasty animals. And the best part is that you can be cultists, and this might actually make sense to you. Circle of life, closed system, and all of that.
So think about it. Who is pushing us to war? Here is a hint- Its not Israel who has no choice but to try to cut off ther heads of the multiple snakes that continue to threaten the lives of every Israeli (by the way, many of the terror victims have been Christians and Muslims- including those 12 innocent soccer players.)
It is the Biden/Harris Progressive administration who have been “distancing” themselves (withholding critically needed munitions, not acting strongly in the UN and being mealy mouthed about how far Israel can defend her people) from Israel just as Obama did.
In case you missed it, This is very reminiscent of how Biden baited Russia into the humanitarian calamity in Ukraine. He encouraged the tallk about allowing Ukraine to into NATO while at the same time specifically stating that a “minor incursion” by Russia would not be a problem.
Think about it. The Bidens got millions of dollars out of Ukraine before the war and now the arms factories in the US and Europe can not keep up with the demand for shells, bullets and equipment. This is not to mention the more than $7 Billion worth of equipment squandered in our desertion of Afghanistan. The military industrial complex (and its investors in government) is fat and happy while the borders of our country are undefended, taxes are going up and there are questions about whether we even have enough military equipment to help defend against a Chinese move against Taiwan.
We had no wars under Trump Administration
It also cured Covid-19 when they banned it.
Ivermectin is continuing to stun the scientific community as the “wonder drug” is being used to treat a growing list of various ailments in humans.
During the pandemic, the corporate media and bureaucratic health officials attempted to smear ivermectin as a “horse dewormer” after it was found to be successful in treating Covid patients.
Despite the reports of cheap and readily available ivermectin being successfully used to treat patients, it posed a threat to the pharmaceutical industry’s Covid mRNA shots and the profits from pushing the injections onto the public.
This smear campaign led to ivermectin, a Nobel prize-winning drug considered to be the second most important medicinal discovery after penicillin, being labeled as “dangerous.”
Ivermectin, a drug derived from a soil microbe, was found to be incredibly effective in treating Covid patients, however.
One prominent case of ivermectin helping a Covid patient involved 80-year-old Judith Smemthiewicz.
After being told there was not much hope left for her, Smemthiewicz made a remarkable recovery after taking the drug in early 2021.
From the Associated Press:
For college students arrested protesting the war in Gaza, the fallout was only beginning
Since her arrest at a protest at the University of Massachusetts, Annie McGrew has been pivoting between two sets of hearings: one for the misdemeanor charges she faces in court, and another for violations of the college’s conduct code.
It has kept the graduate student from work toward finishing her dissertation in economics.
“It’s been a really rough few months for me since my arrest,” McGrew said. “I never imagined this is how UMass (administration) would respond.”
Some 3,200 people were arrested this spring during a wave of pro-Palestinian tent encampments protesting the war in Gaza. While some colleges ended demonstrations by striking deals with the students, or simply waited them out, others called in police when protesters refused to leave.
Many students have already seen those charges dismissed. But the cases have yet to be resolved for hundreds of people at campuses that saw the highest number of arrests, according to an analysis of data gathered by The Associated Press and partner newsrooms.
Along with the legal limbo, those students face uncertainty in their academic careers. Some remain steadfast, saying they would have made the same decisions to protest even if they had known the consequences. Others have struggled with the aftermath of the arrests, harboring doubts about whether to stay enrolled in college at all.
They should get what they deserve, kicked out and jobs at Starbucks
A campaign official for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris acknowledged Wednesday that the vice president is deliberately misleading voters about Project 2025.
CNN first reported the stunning admission as part of a fact-check article accusing Harris of making false claims about Project 2025 and former President Donald Trump’s stance on Social Security. CNN’s Daniel Dale revealed:
A Harris campaign official said the campaign has ‘made a deliberate decision to brand all of Trump’s policies’ as ‘Project 2025,’ since they believe ‘it has stuck with voters.’
Since entering the presidential race Sunday, Harris and her campaign have repeatedly tried to link Project 2025 to Trump, despite the former president’s pushback.
A few hours before CNN published its fact-check story Wednesday, Trump called links to Project 2025 “merely disinformation put out by the Radical Left Democrat Thugs. Do not believe them!”

Of course she lied. She’s lied about everything
The Olympics’ governing body has a very serious public relations problem, and an even more serious athletic competitor fairness dilemma. And I’m not even sure the Olympic hierarchy understands how severe the issue is. But when my friends around the globe – who are on every side of the aisle – all complain to me, Olympic officials need to listen and make some better decisions.
If you’ve been on summer vacation and haven’t heard, at least two Olympic events this past week have caused earthshattering global disturbance, debate, division and even despair.
The first came in the Olympic’s opening ceremony which showcased DJ and producer Barbara Butch – an LGBTQ+ icon – flanked by drag artists and dancers in a scene that clearly mimicked and mocked Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” not the feast of Dionysus. This scene was taken from the Bible in which Jesus was surrounded by His 12 Apostles and instituted the first Communion the night before His suffering and Crucifixion.
Immediate responses of disgust, disdain and condemnation (followed by a call to boycott the Olympics) came from millions on every social media platform followed by ecclesiastical and other leaders – including the French Catholic Church – and athletic champions and Olympic lovers all around the globe. The mockery and sacrilege were obvious.
Was it really necessary to use one of the most sacred rites and depictions in Christendom to demonstrate and even “push” LGBTQ+ diversity? Obviously not. And “we didn’t intend that” doesn’t justify such clear offensive oversight.
If the secular world can refrain from displaying images of Mohammed because Islam condemns them, can it not offer respect without defaming Jesus and offending Christians around the world?
Moreover, with a record low of people watching the summer Olympics already (only 35%, according to Gallup), did the Olympic overseers really overlook the likelihood of offending and alienating the largest religious population on the planet and further diminish its viewing audience?
A massive global boycott is exactly what resulted. And those who paid and pay the price are all the amazing Olympic athletes from every country in every sport who have worked for years with heart and perseverance to get to that stage of competition.
Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not homophobic. I believe in America we must embrace diversity. Indeed, America was founded upon it.
However, what happens when promoting diversity and inclusion denigrates and even desecrates others’ core convictions or religious practices?
Do DEI advocates, including those overseeing the Olympics, expect others to tolerate (and even embrace) their views while they denigrate others before a global audience? Justifying one’s freedom to act should not warrant stepping all over others who differ from you. Doesn’t diversity go both ways?
Democracy is not mob rule, and yet so often modern Americans (and those in other western countries) interpret it that way: “If you don’t believe as we do, we will force our convictions upon you, using social, economic, legal, emotional and any other type of pressure until you consent in agreement and conformity.”
(I encourage you subscribe and read the latest edition of the Whistleblower, “America’s All-Out Religious War,” which details many other anti-religious incidents in society like the above.)
The second Olympic fracture last week erupted when the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who was deemed to have male XY chromosomes (be biologically male) though registered as a woman, won a fight in just 46 seconds in the 66-kilogram women’s division against Italy’s Angela Carini.
Within 30 seconds, Carini was hit by Khelif in the face with brute force. Her nose started bleeding from what later was discovered was a broken nose. In her history of fighting, she said, she “never felt [a] punch like this.”
She went to her cornermen to call off the fight, decrying the competition afterwards as an absolutely “unfair” matchup.
After the judge announced victory to Khelif, Carini bowed to her knees in tears, not believing what just occurred and that her Olympic dreams were dashed to the wind by a man.
“I got into the ring to fight,” she said, via Italy’s ANSA. “I didn’t give up, but one punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I’m going out with my head held high.”
Carini, who is as tough as nails and a supreme woman’s fighter, was willing to step into the ring with this Algerian boxer despite all of Italy had been asking her not to fight for days, her coach explained.
Come to find out, “Khelif fought under a firestorm of controversy regarding a failed gender eligibility test in 2023, in which he ‘was disqualified during the 2023 World Championships sanctioned by the International Boxing Association. The organization said Khelif, and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting failed to meet gender eligibility standards,'” according to FOX News.
International Boxing Association (IBA) president Umar Kremlev explained the decision at the time, according to Russia’s Tass News Agency. Reuters also reported that Khelif tested positive for having high levels of testosterone.
“Based on DNA tests, we identified a number of athletes who tried to trick their colleagues into posing as women. According to the results of the tests, it was proved that they have XY chromosomes. Such athletes were excluded from competition,” Kremlev said.
I knew when I saw Carini’s genuine fear and tears, and what appeared as a winning-smugness of Khelif, I had to say something as a world fighting champion.
Soon after the fight, Riley Gaines – a 12-time All-American swimmer who describes herself as a “leader defending women’s single-sex spaces” – posted on X, “Men don’t belong in women’s sports #IStandWithAngelaCarini.” (Riley also called the opening ceremony a “Satanic display.”)
Tesla, X and SpaceX owner Elon Musk, who first voiced opposition to the Olympic opening ceremony scenes by saying it was “extremely disrespectful to Christians,” secondly stood up for Carini by agreeing with Riley Gaines post, replying, “Absolutely!
And I think J.K. Rowling’s opine on X hit the proverbial nail on the head when it came to the fight between Carini and Khelif, posting the photo above and writing: “Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered.”
Even closer to home was the outrage of a former Olympic boxing champion and two-time gold medalist Claressa Shields, who has won titles in three different weight classes and the current undisputed junior middleweight champion, and the unified middleweight champion. (Women’s boxing is divided between 17 weight classes, from heavyweight to atomweight.)
Shields immediately wrote on X: “So they got men fighting against women in the Olympics boxing ! I wouldn’t have stood for no stuff like that! That is so heartbreaking to the women who have to have their dreams ruined by a man. Sad asf!”
The day after the Olympic boxing debacle, Claressa also hit the airways to voice her professional and personal opposition: “It is very hard to qualify for the Olympics. You have to go through so many different international tournaments, country tournaments to even make it to the Olympics. So, for me, I can understand [Carini’s] devastation. But it shouldn’t be ruined due to a man. And I think that the Olympics definitely dropped the ball.”
“It’s just unfair. I just can’t believe that it’s being done, and I just couldn’t imagine it happening to me,” Shields said.
Even trans Caitlyn Jenner, who won the 1976 men’s decathlon as Bruce Jenner, said in an interview on FOX News: “This issue has hurt the Olympic Games so much. … Everyone’s talking about it.”
Jenner agreed that Khelif should not be in a women’s category: “I hate to be so downright rough … but we have to have rules and regulations, and it has to come down to DNA,” explaining that those with XY chromosomes should be in a men’s competition.
“I think the Olympic committee did absolutely the wrong thing by letting [Khelif] compete,” Jenner added on X. “Shame on the IOC for not protecting the integrity of women’s sports, and shame on the IOC for not protecting the safety of women’s sports.”
“A 2020 study by the British Journal of Medicine showed that even male athletes who are ‘transitioning’ retain their competitive edge [at least a 12% advantage] against women even after two years of taking estrogen. Currently, trans-identifying biological males can compete on women’s teams in the NCAA and Olympics after only one year of being on estrogen,” the Heritage Foundation reported.
I (Chuck) don’t pretend to have all the Olympic or athletic answers for diversity and inclusion without causing further divisions and global disturbance. But I do know that in yesteryear’s generations, like those from my 103-year-old mother’s Greatest Generation, had a whole lot more respect for those they differed with. They agreed to disagree agreeably, rather than spew vitriol and make various threats to get their way as so many do today.
And as far as actual fighting goes: As a six-time undefeated middleweight world karate champion myself, we always competed within the boundaries of those who were in our class, including gender, weight, athletic abilities, belt degrees, etc.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has repeatedly said that if your passport says you are a woman, you can compete in women’s sports; but that criteria can no longer suffice our world of inclusion and diversity.
However, according to Dr. Dr. Bradley Anawalt, an endocrinologist and professor of medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine, science has its limitations in this dogfight over female and male gender identification and verification.
While I don’t doubt that, it still seems to me most of the gender debate in athletics today can be settled by some upgraded form of chromosome or DNA testing. Of course, the mistakes and polarizations in the athletic history of gender identification and profiling will have to be avoided as an upgraded form of testing is established. Advanced neurobiology studies might even help.
As a general rule, those who have proven XY chromosomes fight in male competitions while those who have XX chromosomes fight in female competitions; even intersex individuals often lean one way or the other. Variance to these (however miniscule to the majority) will have to be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Even Reem Alsalem, the U.N.’s special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, echoed the need for further gender testing of some type: “We know that there are simple, efficient, dignified ways of testing sex … that are not invasive, that are cheap and that are reliable.
She explained, “So I think that will be one of the first things really to come back, why is that such a problem, if it can particularly resolve an issue and if it can allay fears, and concerns which are very valid. So that would be my question really to the IOC and … I have, in fact, discussed with the IOC in preparation for my report – the inclusivity and diversity guidelines.”
Alsalem will deliver to the U.N. General Assembly in October a report that will have a focus on violence faced by women in sport. Please read the Heritage Foundation’s submission as well.
I’ll say it one more time: The Olympics’ governing body has a very serious public relations problem, and an even more serious athletic competitor fairness dilemma.
Bottom line, if the Olympic authorities continue to promote sexual diversity and inclusion over fairness in international athletic competition, this I guarantee: They will continue to experience the thrill of victory and the agony of diversity.
There are still people held hostage there. We gave away 84 billion in technology to the terrorists. It’s now being used against us
Google started interfering in the 2024 presidential race by redirecting people searching for Donald Trump’s name toward news about Kamala Harris.
The MRC NewsBusters’ findings supported reports from different people, including Elon Musk, who pointed out that when users search for “Donald Trump” or “Trump rally,” the banner with news results listed Harris’s name.
When searching for “Donald Trump” on July 30, 2024, the news source discovered that Google displayed a “knowledge panel” about Trump, including his name and former title. Google also provided a panel labeled “News about Harris·Trump.”
“Harris keeps calling Trump and Vance ‘weird.’ Here’s why,” reads the headline of the Associated Press propaganda piece. Google also showed a Washington Post headline, “Trump, with a history of sexist attacks, again faces a female opponent.”
On July 31, 2024, the news source searched for the term “Trump Rally,” prompting favorable news panels to Harris. The first news panel’s title read, “Kamala Harris rally in Atlanta.”
On the other hand, when searching for the term “Kamala Harris,” Google showed the results about her. As expected, Trump’s name is not mentioned in either the first or second Google news panels in the resulting search.

Reporting your neighbors to the Stasi
A state official in swing state Michigan is calling on state residents to report their neighbors to the government if they share “misinformation.”
The agenda adopted by Jocelyn Benson, the secretary of state, was posted online, with the statement, “Misinformation about the election process, voter rights, or even an issue on the ballot is a serious threat to election security. If you see misleading or inaccurate information regarding voting or elections in Michigan, please report it.”
Benson insists that those reporting their neighbors also share “an image if possible.”
