    A New Jersey college cancelled a “drag queen story hour” planned for faculty members’ children during “Bring your child to work” day when staff objected. Brookdale Community College had been planning a read-along event with a drag performer known as “Harmonica Sunbeam” for months before calling it off the night before in order to “respect the comfort levels of all involved,” school officials said. The reading event was supposed to be part of the Lincroft college’s “Bring Your Child to Work Day” last Thursday, NJ.com reported. “I did ask why, but I did not receive an answer,” Sunbeam told the...

    One year after the U.S. Supreme Court made abortion legal across America, an 18-year-old woman felt coerced into a decision she said she didn’t want to make. Now that same woman speaks for life and helps women like herself with abortion healing. Daria Monroe, CEO and executive director for Women’s Hope Medical Clinic located in Auburn, Ala., was recently featured on the video series Truth Teller from the SaveOne international abortion recovery program. She shared her abortion experience and spoke about the importance of abortion healing. Daria recently discussed her background and her passion for life for the unborn and...
  • These Pro-Hamas Protests are the Result of Bad Parenting and an Education System Churning Out Morons

    Sometimes, good parents raise bad kids. It is possible to do everything right and still churn out a real piece of post-digested food. It happens. It just doesn’t happen very often, which is why it’s pretty easy to look at the mutant mob and professional protester class currently staging mini-Beer Hall Putschs they hope will weave together into a one, large real opportunity for them to murder as many white people, normal people, straight people, non-obedient people and especially Jews as possible. Fascists always have a real problem with Jews. So, where did all these bi-pedal piles of garbage on...

    Six years ago, a Muslim boy returned red-faced from a well-known school in the northern Indian city of Agra. "My classmates called me a Pakistani terrorist," the nine-year-old told his mother. Reema Ahmad, an author and counsellor, remembers the day vividly. "Here was a feisty, little boy with his fists clenched so tightly that there were nail marks in his palm. He was so angry." As her son told the story, his classmates were having a mock fight when the teacher had stepped out. "That's when one group of boys pointed at him and said, 'This is a Pakistani terrorist....

    A tattooed content creator sparked a debate about hiring biases after being rejected by T.J. Maxx. Experts said tattoos could influence hiring decisions, especially in customer-facing roles. But overall, personality and cultural fit are more important, they said. A TikToker, Ash Putnam, was frustrated after T.J. Maxx denied her application — and she said she thought her tattoos were to blame. Some of her designs that are visible when she's dressed are a skull with horns on her neck, solid black patches on her arms, and a pattern on her forehead. Putnam, 23, also has multiple facial piercings, including a...

  • Green Party's Stein Arrested at Campus Pro-Palestinian Protest

    Police arrested Green Party candidate Jill Stein on Saturday during a Gaza war protest at Washington University in St. Louis. "Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, campaign manager Jason Call, and deputy campaign manager Kelly Merrill-Cayer were arrested alongside approximately 100 others –– mostly Washington University students –– at an encampment set up on Saturday on the university grounds," Stein's campaign tweeted. "The demand from the encampment was specifically for the university to divest from Boeing, which manufactures munitions used in the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza at their nearby St. Charles [Missouri] facility. The Stein campaign...
  • Is the unchurching of young people behind the strange new rise of antisemitism on campus?

    American Thinker ^ | 28 Apr, 2024 | Monica Showalter
    It was a surprise to many that Jew-hatred is big on campuses these days. Explanations are few and far between about where the ugly idea comes from. Is it about a belief that Jews have all the money and political power like the lunatic fringe, the Klan, and LaRouchies claim? Not that anyone but a weirdo (and Rep. Ilhan Omar) would embrace that. Those are the views of freaks. The antisemitism now seen is of a more slippery variety, the kind that claims that Zionism is racism, Israelis are the 'real' Nazis, or Apartheid practitioners, and every bad act of...

    AstraZeneca has admitted for the first time in court documents that its Covid vaccine can cause a rare side effect, in an apparent about-turn that could pave the way for a multi-million pound legal payout. The pharmaceutical giant is being sued in a class action over claims that its vaccine, developed with the University of Oxford, caused death and serious injury in dozens of cases. Lawyers argue the vaccine produced a side-effect which has had a devastating effect on a small number of families. The first case was lodged last year by Jamie Scott, a father of two, who was...

    The woman sits in a park, legs crossed, smoking, relaxed. Two men watch her from a window above the park, and they discuss her, looking down on her. "If she were six, you would say she was sulky," one of the men says. "Since her incarceration, her group of friends has been destroyed." She is meeting the two men, and one says, "She won't come in a moment before it's time." It is an eloquent exchange, and even more eloquently filmed, the woman seen in long shot, from above. She knows she is being watched. Her "relaxation," then, is an...

  • New American Military Aid for Ukraine - What's in the package and what impact will it have?

    04/28/2024 1:52:03 PM PDT · by Chode · 12 replies
    In early 2022, the US quickly emerged as one of Ukraine's most important military suppliers, supporting Kyiv with everything from artillery to armour & millions of rounds of artillery ammunition. In late 2023, that vital flow of supplies began to stall as debate in Congress continued. And as supplies ran short, Russian forces took advantage and ground the front forward in several places. Now, the US has passed a new package and the flow of supplies is resuming. In this video, we look at that package, examine its contents and ask what impact it might have as Ukraine reportedly faces...

    A married woman with kids thanked Dr. Ben Carson at a Texas A&M university event last night for saving her life decades earlier. Dr. Carson, a former pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center who later served in the Trump administration as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, spoke at the Turning Point USA event. “God truly had his hands in this miracle,” Sara Bowker said. She was born with craniosynostosis, a condition where the skull improperly fuses together, according to Bowker. “You gave me the opportunity to graduate high school, college, and start graduate school, play competitive sports,...

    Having a discussion with Mark Messmer candidate for 8th Congressional District on FB. The issue at hand is his voting record concerning illegal immigrants in Indiana. 1st issue is his support of a "Driver's Card" for illegals which died in commitee and therefore produces no voteing record. The 2nd issue is SB 135 in the year 2022 concerning in-state tuition for illegals at State Schools. The record I found at "Smart Vote.com" says he voted NAY, however a FOX NEWS report says he co-sponsered the bill. Does anyone have the facts on these two bills?
