Ruled by the MadIt’s starting to happen more often, now, that I get the nuclear flash scene from Terminator 2 during ordinary daily activities. I was at a sale, sifting through possible additions to the overall security/survival master plan for SHTF + day 2. Suddenly, there was a moment when the surrounding crowd appeared as skeletons, just a flash in recognition of the tenuousness of survival on this planet when it seems that those in authority, having faked the election and committed the coup without recourse or sanction, are hell-bent on killing us all through the nitroglycerine-like formula of stupidity...

Transgender runner Glenique Frank said the quiet part out loud when he received criticism for competing in the women’s division of the London Marathon. The 54-year-old personal trainer offered to return his medal. Frank bested 14,000 women runners, thus denying those biological women their place. He said he is ok with giving his medal back but that he’ll compete again. During his interview with a BBC reporter, he exclaimed, “Girl power!” He wore a transgender flag as a cape and a tiara headband. He told the New York Post that he doesn’t apologize and the people criticizing him are haters....

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Tennessee for passing a law that bans chemical castration and body mutilating surgeries from being performed on youth who are confused about their sexual identity. Under President Joe Biden, the DOJ filed a complaint in intervention on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division, on behalf of families already suing the state over the law.At issue is Tennessee Senate Bill 1, signed into law last month and scheduled to take effect in July.

Controversial transgender swimmer Lia Thomas slammed her “feminist” adversaries as misogynistic transphobes who reduce women to the value of their reproductive abilities. The NCAA gold medalist told fellow trans swimmer Schuyler Bailar that her own University of Pennsylvania teammates displayed fraud feministic beliefs when they wrote a 2022 letter asking the division to bar Thomas from competition. “They’re like, ‘Oh, we respect Lia, as a woman, as a trans woman or whatever, we respect her identity, we just don’t think it’s fair.’ You can’t really have that sort of half-support where you’re like, ‘Oh, I respect her as a woman...

Two Michigan middle schoolers are suing their school district for barring them from wearing sweatshirts that say “Let’s Go Brandon” — a popular right-wing rally cry that stands as a substitute for cursing out President Biden. The boys’ mother argued that the ban infringes on their constitutional rights, while the Tri County Area School District insists the sweatshirts violate its dress code, which bars clothing “with messages that are lewd, indecent, vulgar or profane,” the Detroit Free Press reported. The lawsuit alleges that when the brothers wore their “Let’s Go Brandon” sweatshirts to Tri County Middle School last year, an...

Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm testified Wednesday to the Senate Armed Services Committee that she supported requiring the United States military to move to an all-electric non-vehicle fleet by 2030

“Donald Trump was being very light. It was very joshing and very funny,” she said. “I was flirting the whole time, probably.” But, she said, the mood changed rapidly after they stepped into the dressing room. “He immediately shut the door and shoved me up against the wall. He shoved me so hard my head banged. I was extremely confused,” she said. “I pushed back and he thrust me back against the wall again, banging my head again.” Carroll told the jury the situation “turned absolutely dark”. “He leaned down and pulled down my tights,” she said. “I was pushing...

Hundreds of professors at the University of North Carolina signed a public letter Tuesday opposing legislation that would require university students to take courses on America's government and founding documents. The 673 UNC Chapel Hill professors revealed the public letter Tuesday, arguing the new courses and another bill in the North Carolina House of Representatives would constitute an infringement on the university's "academic freedom." The first piece of legislation, House Bill 96, would require students to take a 3 credit-hour course covering America's founding and history. Required reading for the course would include the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence,...

The San Francisco district attorney’s office on Tuesday dropped the charges against a homeless man who allegedly attacked former San Francisco fire commissioner Don Carmignani earlier this month with a crowbar, sending him to the hospital for emergency surgery to treat a hole in the back of his skull. The case was dropped after prosecutors concluded the attacker, Garrett Doty, was acting in self-defense when he beat Carmignani so badly that he broke the former fire commissioner’s jaw and left him in need of 50 stitches The incident began when Carmignani confronted Doty and two other vagrants who were allegedly...

Most of the clothing and gadgets you buy in stores today were once in shipping containers, sailing across the ocean. Ships carry over 80% of the world’s traded goods. But they have a problem – the majority of them burn heavy sulfur fuel oil, which is a driver of climate change. While cargo ships’ engines have become more efficient over time, the industry is under growing pressure to eliminate its carbon footprint. European Union legislators reached an agreement to require an 80% drop in shipping fuels’ greenhouse gas intensity by 2050 and to require shipping lines to pay for the...

(LifeSiteNews) — Harris Kornstein is a college professor. He is also the drag queen “Lil Miss Hot Mess,” and he wants to perform for your children. He is one of the minds behind the manifesto “Drag Pedagogy: The Playful Practice of Queer Imagination in Early Childhood,” along with co-author (and transgender queer theorist) Harper Keenan of the University of British Columbia. The point of the manifesto, which quotes pedophile rapist Michel Foucault among others, is to explain how “drag pedagogy” can be used to indoctrinate children. “The professional vision of educators is often shaped to reproduce the state’s normative vision...

Minnesota Democrats want to remove language from the state’s Human Rights Act which clarifies that pedophilia is not included in the protected “sexual orientation” class. “‘Sexual orientation’ does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult,” the Human Rights Act says. HF 1655, a bill carried by Rep. Leigh Finke, DFL-St.Paul, seeks to remove that language from state statutes.

Democrat President Joe Biden’s son Hunter has filed an ethics complaint against Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for alleged “verbal abuses.” Hunter Biden is called for a congressional ethics investigation into Greene after the congressman accused the scandal-scarred first son of being involved in sex trafficking. As Slay News previously reported, Greene dropped the bombshell last week that congressional investigators have uncovered evidence that the Biden family is allegedly involved in an international sex trafficking ring. In a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics, Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell accused Greene of “continuous verbal attacks, defamatory statements, publication of...

Don Carmignani, 53, was left fighting for his life after being brutally attacked on April 12, when he sprayed pepper spray at the homeless man outside his mother's home in the Marina District.

Carmignani - who served as a fire commissioner in 2013...

A two-time Olympian has ripped rules that allowed a transgender runner to beat nearly 14,000 women in the female category of the London Marathon. Mara Yamauchi — who finished sixth in the marathon at the 2008 Beijing Olympics — lashed out after trans racer Glenique Frank, 54, gushed to the BBC about using “girl power” to run the key UK race on Sunday. “Males in the [female] category is UNFAIR for females,” Yamauchi tweeted alongside a clip of the mid-race interview by the sports bra-wearing runner who also gushed about soon becoming “a gran.” “Nearly 14,000 actual females suffered a...

Doesn't "gender-affirming" care and surgery just sound so nice and pleasant? It sounds so nice and friendly when it's framed in that euphemistic way, doesn't it? Well, here's what "gender affirmation" looks like in REALITY: [Warning: Graphic discussion ahead and all throughout this article] Mengele would shudder. This took place in the Netherlands, one of the most gender-affirming and gender-neutral countries there is. The doctors went in to give a teenage boy a vaginoplasty, meaning a fake vagina. Normally, they would split the boy's penis in half and fashion it into a sort of fake female genitalia, but this boy...

Something very fundamental is happening, and we’re all in the middle of it. During busy news cycles, it’s hard to write posts. Each story screams for attention, creating analysis paralysis. What struck me today, though, was that many of the stories we’re seeing are part of something much larger, which is what I call the “Great Sorting.” All the old patterns are broken, and people are rethinking their allegiances. Before the 21st century, the world’s patterns were predictable. You could divide history into the era before the Soviet Union collapsed and after the collapse. Before, the world was neatly split...

As Twitchy readers know, AOC recently spoke with Jen ‘Circle Back’ Psaki about using government regulation to stifle the speech of people like Tucker Carlson, who she claims clearly engages in ‘incitement of violence’. What does this incitement to violence look like? Telling the public what liberals are doing. That’s it. That’s why she hates Tucker Carlson. Unsurprisingly, AOC was quite pleased to hear that Tucker and Fox News were parting ways, and the congresswoman turned the camera on herself to spread her speech-squashing satisfaction on the perfect platform for such pronouncements: Chinese-owned TikTok. She summarized her thoughts by saying...
