An extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago featuring a Biden EPA political appointee talking about how they were tossing gold bars off the Titanic, rushing to get billions of your tax dollars out the door before Inauguration Day. The gold bars were tax dollars, and tossing them off the Titanic meant the Biden Administration knew they were wasting it. Following this revelation, during my meetings with members of Congress, I made a very important commitment to them and to the American people, which I reiterated at my confirmation hearing that if confirmed, I would immediately get a full accounting. Fortunately, my awesome team at EPA has found the gold bars. Shockingly, roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history, and it was purposefully designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight
What if I were to ask you what are the most repressive governments around the world when it comes to freedom? Who suppresses freedom of speech and enterprise the most? You'd surely say North Korea. Iran. Russia. But what if I told you Germany should be on that list? That France should be on that list"and many other EU countries? Oh, and that Canada, where I'm from, should be on that list, too? I'm not saying those countries are the same as the fear-based, authoritarian societies of North Korea and Iran. Not by a long shot. But I am suggesting that some of the free countries are not, in fact, living up to their promises of liberty. And that many allies of the U.S. have gotten in the habit of using the government against political enemies or disfavored companies.
Speaking to the Democratic National Committee, which met to select its new leadership this weekend, the outgoing chair, Jaime Harrison, attempted to explain a point about its rules concerning gender balance for its vice-chair race. "The rules specify that when we have a gender-nonbinary candidate or officer, the nonbinary individual is counted as neither male nor female, and the remaining six officers must be gender balanced," Harrison announced. As the explanation became increasingly intricate, Harrison's elucidation grew more labored. "To ensure our process accounts for male, female, and nonbinary candidates, we conferred with our [Rules and Bylaws Committee] co-chair, our LGBT Caucus co-chair, and others to ensure that the process is inclusive and meets the gender-balance requirements in our rules
LONDON (TNND) " A self-guided tour at the U.K.'s Science Museum accuses popular building toy Lego of reinforcing "heteronormativity." The accusation is part of a self-guided tour titled Seeing Thing Queerly, which allows visitors to "discover some of the objects on display at the Science Museum that tell stories of queer communities, experiences, and identities." Among items such as airplanes and replica chickens, the tour accuses Lego of taking an anti-LGBT stance. "Like other connectors and fasteners, Lego bricks are often described in a gendered way," a description on the museum's website reads. "The top of the brick with sticking out pins is male, the bottom of the brick with holes to receive the pins is female, and the process of the two sides being put together is called mating." "This is an example of applying heteronormative language to topics unrelated to gender, sex and reproduction,"
Today, the NCAA announced the Board of Governors voted to update the Association's participation policy for transgender student-athletes following the Trump administration's executive order. The new policy limits competition in women's sports to student-athletes assigned female at birth only. The policy permits student-athletes assigned male at birth to practice with women's teams and receive benefits such as medical care while practicing. This policy is effective immediately and applies to all student-athletes regardless of previous eligibility reviews under the NCAA's prior transgender participation policy
I'm not interested in relitigating the same argument over and over again.
The good news is, at least for now, the tide is turning. My guess is tamping back the censorship royally pisses you off.
Im also guessing you'd probably feel differently if Zuckerberg were to claim that members of the Trump administration were screaming at his team and demanding censorship and messaging control.
