Clarence Thomas said of his experience during confirmation, "the implausible was now being treated more favorably than the obvious." Guess that tends to happen when they put Biden in charge.

Teaching your children

Quote
A San Francisco Bay-area elementary school was trained by an organization called "Woke Kindergarten," whose leader wants to see America and Israel destroyed as countries, according to posts on social media.

According to the website, the head of the organization is "Akiea ‘Ki’ Gross (they/them)" who "is an abolitionist early educator, cultural organizer and creator currently innovating ways to resist, heal, liberate and create with their pedagogy, Woke Kindergarten."

"I believe the United States has no right to exist. I believe every settler colony who has committed genocide against native peoples, against Indigenous people, has no right to exist," Gross said in a recent Instagram post. "Y'all the demons. Y'all are the villains. We've been trying to end y'all. Get free of y'all."
Quote
Gross also believes that there are extraterrestrial beings that are oppressed.

More on the program

Quote
Students at a San Francisco Bay-area elementary school — where officials hired a for-profit company called "Woke Kindergarten" to train teachers — are continuing to struggle with some of the lowest math and reading scores in the state, according to a report.

The school spent $250,000 in federal funds provided by a program meant to help boost test scores for some of the country’s lowest-performing schools, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, but after two years with "Woke Kindergarten," students’ scores are reportedly worse.

In a 4% drop in both areas in the last two years, less than 12% of the students at Glassbrook Elementary in Hayward, California, can read at their grade level and under 4% are proficient in math, according to the Chronicle.

Squatters take over 1,200 homes in Atlanta, open illegal strip clubs and terrorize neighbors: ‘Is this even America?’

Urbanski’s company cleans out homes for corporate landlords, and in some cases has to remove squatters’ possessions.

Recently one of his employees was shot after attempting to remove intruders from a property.

Simon Frost, CEO of large-scale landlord Tiber Capital Group, said there have been incidents of unlawful occupants brandishing weapons and threatening neighbors, which affects the safety of neighborhoods and other residents, according to Bloomberg.

Apparently it is the 50th anniversary of Blazing Saddles. If you wish to watch it today, you will first need to watch a disclaimer about racism. Unless you have it on DVD or other means that circumvent the stealth editing, editorializing, etc. that exists on streaming.

I'm actually amazed Youtube hasn't attached context boxes on racism to clips from the movie like they have other with subjects like "climate change" if the word climate is used in the video or for COVID if the word virus is detected for examples

Saw that.
Instead of sounding the alarm they're attacking Elon for bringing it up saying he supports genocide in Gaza

Why is twitchy using "her" and "she" to refer to a mentally ill castrated man? 

In fact, it isn't even consistant... they keep switching between the sexes when referring to this man.

Several of the "conservative" sites, as well as conservative-leaning news channels are doing this. It's kinda disappointing. On the one hand they highlight the craziness of the trans and pronoun nonsense, on the other hand they participate in it. Newsflash to those sites: You're not gonna get any liberal subscribers by doing that, and you might lose some normie subscribers.

Have any of the media outlets been sued for "misgendering" someone?
Or maybe they're afraid of being sued.

Whether they have been sued or not, I think it's a safe bet that corporate lawyers are involved regarding "avoiding being sued".

I think it's just because they want people to spread their content via social media, so they make it palatable to whatever crazy rules Zuckerberg et al have in place.

Passenger dies mid-flight after liters of ‘blood erupts from his mouth and nose’

A passenger on board a Lufthansa flight from Thailand to Germany died Thursday, after his fellow travelers watched in horror as blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.

The unidentified 63-year-old German man was seen boarding the Airbus A380 in Bangkok shortly before midnight visibly sick, with “cold sweats” and “breathing much too quickly,” Karin Missfelder recounted to Swiss German outlet Blick.
