    Gender identity histrionics

    An interesting report illustrating how far and foolish we have come in the name of gender identity and inclusiveness. The general public consensus appears to be taking the position,’ be who you are and leave us the hell alone.’

    How did we get to the ridiculous point where only trans women can be called women?

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/...7f12cad0&ei=14

    The question may seem somewhat blunt. But, given that it suddenly appears to have become a matter of impassioned debate, I feel it would be remiss to duck it. So let’s get straight down to business and confront the matter head-on.

    What exactly, we need to ask ourselves, is a lesbian?

    Most people, I suspect, would regard this question as reasonably straightforward, and reply: “A woman attracted to women.” But that definition, it seems, is out of date. The correct answer is as follows:

    “A non-man attracted to non-men.”

    At least, that’s what it says in a new “LGBTQ glossary” published by Johns Hopkins, a leading American university.

    You may be wondering whether it defines gay men, in turn, as “non-women”. Funnily enough, no. A gay man is simply “a man” attracted to “other men”.

    The Hunter Biden Saga: Payback is a Bitch

    Republican philosophy: Do unto the Democrats as they have done to us! The country would be blessed if Trump and Biden were ineligible to be nominated in 2024.

    The Hunter Biden Case Is Starting to Get Scary

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...f937e0b8&ei=15

    House Republicans Question Hunter Biden Payments From Chinese Energy Firm - Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee want answers about payments by the State Energy HK Limited to members of the Biden family.

    Hunter Biden, his sister-in-law and onetime girlfriend Hallie Biden, and uncle and brother of the president, James Biden, received payments from an account belonging to Biden family associate Rob Walker’s company Robinson Walker, LLC., a memo released by the committee months back.

    It uncovered a fourth account with the name “Biden” attached to it that received money from Robinson Walker, LLC. It would investigate which Biden the account belonged to. Two payments totaling $30,000 went into the “Biden” account in March 2017 and another $25,000 in April 2017, and a further payment of $15,000 was deposited in May 2017.

    New evidence obtained through Robinson Walker’s bank records subpoena found two payments totaling $35,000 to Hallie Biden. James Biden received $360,000 between Apr. 3, 2017 and May 18, 2017. Rob Walker received $869,308 of this money.

    That money came from an account that received $3 million from State Energy HK Limited, an affiliate of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) intelligence linked CEFC China Energy. Walker became the conduit through which CEFC China Energy chairman Ye Jianming connected with the Bidens.

    Ye served as deputy secretary general of China Association for International Friendly Contacts (CAIFC), an entity closely tied to Chinese military intelligence whose job is to destroy the PLA’s enemies. Grassley raised this question about CEFC China Energy’s ties to Chinese military intelligence in his October letter.
    Hunter Biden referred to Ye as his “business partner” in audio found on his leaked laptop. A report in The Daily Mail disclosed that Hunter Biden had full awareness that CEFC China Energy was an integral part of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative.

    “The Committee is concerned about the information revealed in these bank records, including: (1) why the Chinese energy company waited less than two months after Vice President Biden left public office to send the $3 million wire; (2) why the Robinson Walker, LLC account received the China company’s payment instead of the Biden family members’ companies; (3) why the payments to the Biden family members were structured in incremental payments to different bank accounts; (4) what services the Biden family members provided to the China company and when those purported services were provided; (5) why Hallie Biden—publicly reported to work as a school counselor—received money from Robinson Walker, LLC; 2 and (6) who the account holder is for the bank account entitled ‘Biden,’” the committee asked in its latest memorandum.

    The committee wants answers to help craft future legislation that would prevent the family members of presidents or vice presidents from profiting off their relatives’ high office and from jeopardizing national security.

    US becomes 'outlier' in defending treatments for transgender minors

    Should children be given unproven puberty blockers to treat children suffering from distress over gender identity - puberty suppressing hormones routinely commissioned for children and adolescents who have gender incongruence/dysphoria.

    Europe breaks against puberty blockers as US becomes 'outlier' in defending treatments for transgender minors

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/oth...024f5577&ei=47

    Countries such as Canada, Australia and Spain still allow puberty blockers, according to the Journal, but some are sounding the alarm. The president of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society wrote a letter to Italy's prime minister Giorgia Meloni in January about having "serious concerns" over the use of puberty blockers.

    GOP lawmakers repeatedly cited European studies during a recent congressional hearing, including Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw, who demanded answers from Yale School of Medicine assistant professor Meredithe McNamara, a Democratic witness, about studies that support these treatments for minors. "If you're doing a therapy, and it's, you know, temporary, fine, whatever, maybe let's try it and see if it works," he continued. "But when you're talking about permanent physiological changes, do you not agree, just from an ethical standpoint, that you might want extremely strong evidence of the benefits? There's no systematic review that states that there's strong evidence of benefits."

    McNamara: "Sir, are you aware of how the quality evidence grading system works and how it's applied?" McNamara responded, failing to name specific studies after the two went back and forth.

    "You're not telling me any study, don't say 'standards of care,'" Crenshaw said. "Tell me one."

    "So, um, the standards of care," McNamara said.

    "The standards of care," Crenshaw questioned. "That's not a journal, that's not a study. That's not an organization. That's not an institution. You're just saying words. Name one study."

    Is the military too ‘woke’ to fight

    With Russian aggression in Europe and the threat of China invading Taiwan, is the U.S. prepared to fight a war on two fronts?

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...9f4f52da&ei=40

    The U.S. has made a series of poor decisions that have now put us in the position of not being able to wage war on two fronts, something we successfully did in World War II. First, we decided to deplete our weapons arsenal by sending more than $110 billion of money and material to Ukraine. Second, we have let our Navy shrink to a fleet of only 296 ships in fiscal 2022, compared to the 417 vessels in the Chinese navy.

    Recruitment is down, with many branches substantially missing their enlistment goals. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a West Point graduate: “How can we ask young men and women who have decided to risk their lives for America, even die for America, to affirm that our country is inherently racist? How can we ask them to view their brothers and sisters in arms through the narrow prisms of race or gender? The answer is we cannot.”

    Politicians and military leaders have decided that the true key to total military victory is to strip “Confederate namesakes from installations, ships, awards, and more” so the names do not trigger any soldiers, sailors, or airmen. The cost of renaming nine Army bases that honored the Confederacy has nearly doubled to $39 million. When not spending time on drag shows or “inappropriate” names, our military leadership and the Biden administration are also extremely concerned with the carbon footprint of our military machine. The Biden administration has mandated that the U.S. military implement an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030. The Army specifically plans to cut its emissions by 50% by “2030 from 2005 levels and reach net-zero emissions by 2050,” in addition to embracing an all-electric fleet.

    But what has the military’s response been to Russian aggression in Europe and the threat of China invading Taiwan? It has doubled down on divisive, harmful leftist policies that undermine military readiness and national security. Indeed, it’s fair to say the military is now too woke to fight.

    Communism: Are we there yet?

    It has yet to be proven whether Nikita Khruschev ever publicly delivered a 1959 prediction that America would someday embrace communism. Unfortunately, it does appear to parallel the Democrat Socialist Agenda.

    Khrushchev’s 1959 prediction

    Your children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. You will not accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small dose of socialism until you finally wake up and find you already have communism.

    We will not have to fire a shot. How do you create a Socialist State? There are 8 levels of control:

    1) Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people.

    2) Poverty - Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them.

    3) Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

    4) Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

    5) Welfare - Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.

    6) Education - Take control of what people read and listen to and take control of what children learn in school.

    7) Religion - Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools because the people need to believe in ONLY the government knowing what is best
    for the people.

    8) Class warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class and this will cause more discontent by taxing the wealthy to support the poor.

    9) Control the media.


    How far have we followed that road?

    It sure is looking that way. In the old days, what the Biden family has been doing would have been investigated by the mainstream media. Fighting each other to be the first with the scoop. Now, they just ignore it. Then, you wonder how many people on the left have any idea what is going on. The FBI use to be such a respectful organization. How can you respect an organization that covers up and at times becomes a party of the illegit action?

    Biden family influence peddling: We need the truth

    The public doesn’t get the truth much anymore in this divisive environment – just disinformation and propaganda. Trump is unfit for office, as is the feeble-minded, inept, lying / corrupt Joe Biden. Biden must be investigated and held to the same standards as Trump. Both are embarrassments to this country and should be found ineligible to run for office in 2024.

    Joe Biden has one problem: He is a liar

    Politicians all lie. Joe Biden is entitled to a lie, or two. But his incessant lying over the years regarding his son Hunter’s business affairs is above the pale.

    His Chicago 2024 campaign rhetoric today was filled with unsubstantiated facts and unfounded allegations; political propaganda and the left has the audacity to defend it by listing accomplishments yet to come and/or meaningless to the majority of Americans declaring living paycheck-to-paycheck and falling further behind in purchasing power.

    The House Oversight Committee has recently made public a series of text messages allegedly sent by Hunter Biden, in which he appears to boast about his family’s ability to cater to the wishes of Chinese business executives.

    These revelations have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the transparency of the Biden family’s financial dealings.

    Joe Biden is looking more corrupt by the second

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...cf0fa933&ei=15



    ‘The Biden's are the best' – Another Hunter Biden text shocker uncovered

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...a97893ce8&ei=9

    According to the committee, on August 3, 2017, Hunter Biden sent a text message to Gongwen Dong, an executive at CEFC, an energy firm with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

    In the message, Biden proclaimed, “The Biden’s are the best I know at doing exactly what the Chairman wants from this [partnership].”

    Interestingly, the committee also discovered that one of Biden’s shell companies received a payment of $100,000 from CEFC the following day.

    In a separate development, an IRS whistleblower testified to receiving a threatening text message from Hunter Biden, allegedly sent in the presence of Joe Biden himself.

    The text read, “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled."

    "Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.”

    The message went on to imply consequences for non-compliance, stating, “And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction."

    "I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

    The White House responded to the IRS whistleblower testimony, asserting that “the President was not in business with his son.”

    Continues…

    Biden or Trump in 2024, OMG!

    The corrupt Bidens: DOJ malfeasance

    What will it take to bring felony charges against the Biden family?

    What will it take to open some people’s eyes to realize Biden is no less corrupt, deceitful, and amoral than the Trumpster. Hated less than Trump makes him acceptable to some voters. There is no lesser of two evils here. Look at what America is becoming!

    It looks like President Biden doesn't feel the universities should abide by the supreme court's decision.
    This administration seems to believe that there is only one branch- the executive.

    President Joe Biden said he “strongly, strongly” disagrees with the court's ruling. He urged colleges not to let the ruling “be the last word.”

    One step closer to dystopia and totalitarianism – as in George Orwell’s 1984.

    Couldn’t Biden’s call for colleges and universities to rebel against the Supreme Court’s ruling be considered inciteful? Joe Biden’s Frank reporting that Joe favors the country’s use of psychedelic drugs openly is terrifying.

    As to the AP poll report in the posted link:

    A poll last month by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research showed 63% of U.S. adults say the court should allow colleges to consider race as part of the admissions process, yet few believe students’ race should ultimately play a major role in decisions. A Pew Research Center survey released last week found that half of Americans disapprove of considerations of applicants’ race, while a third approve.

    I believe ‘the court should allow colleges to consider race as part of the admissions process, yet few believe students’ race should ultimately play a major role in decisions’ is appropriate – merit based, yet the court recognizing each individual has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.

    Simple race-based quota filling is discrimination.

    It truly is.


    Biden’s plan to forgive billions in student loans was a clear act of executive overreach, and the Supreme Court ruled today that only Congress could authorize such a large scale of government provided loans – and it had not done so.

    The Biden administration had asserted its right to cancel the loans as part of its emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic and under a 2003 law called the HEROES Act, passed at the time of the Iraq War. They thought wrong!

    Had this plan gone ahead, I wonder whether parents and grandparents who had contributed to paying off student loans would be eligible for any compensation.

    What is onerous is helping to pay off student loans for students attending universities / colleges just for ‘the college experience’ or matriculating in courses that will never provide the financial return to pay off their loans. As for those who never attended college, you are so screwed.

    It doesn’t make sense hearing a Wisconsin State Senator openly state on the House floor: “Fu** the ‘burbs’, they know nothing about city life.” Born and bred in the City of Buffalo for 22 years, I know plenty about city life!
