Schools Told to Teach Eight-Year-Olds That ‘Boys Can Have Periods Too'

Schools Told to Teach Eight-Year-Olds That ‘Boys Can Have Periods Too':

Schools in Brighton have been ordered to teach children as young as eight that people “of all genders” can have periods, as well as to install sanitary waste disposal units in every toilet room.
The instructions were included in guidelines published by the local council earlier this month on ‘Taking a Period Positive Approach in Brighton & Hove Schools’, which assert there is “more work to do across all settings to prevent and reduce stigma related to periods and talking about periods”.

Bill Gates Predicts 'Millions of Deaths' from Climate Change Before Century’s End
"Bill Gates, philanthropist and Microsoft founder, criticized the Trump administration’s push to reduce the U.S.’s $30 billion foreign aid budget — and praised the idea of privacy regulations on big tech as well.
On the issue of climate change, Gates predicted that for countries like Africa — which are “completely dependent on the rain coming” — climate change presents a “threat to … survival.”
He also predicted “millions of deaths because of climate change between now and the end of the century.” ..."

Interesting Chris Wallace interview with Bill Gates, who was once a bottom-up advocate of individual empowerment through personal computing. He’s now a top-down technocrat arguing for more government action to solve world problems. https://video.foxnews.com/v/5980110511001/ …

Bottom up means someday someone might have a better idea than him but top down means he gets to tell people what ideas they are allowed to have.

Yoga group shutters after cultural appropriation complaint

• "American University student Maya Krishna complained to AU's President’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion and wrote an op-ed after seeing a non-Indian group perform an Indian epic in the school's yoga club.
• The yoga club's faculty adviser, as well as its student president and vice president, subsequently resigned their posts.

One student’s complaint of “cultural appropriation” led to the dissolution of a university’s Bhakti yoga group..."

California Moves Up 2020 Primary Elections To March : The Two-Way : NPR
Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill to move California's primary elections in 2020 to the beginning of March, three months ahead of when they were held in 2016.
It's a move designed to increase the influence of the country's most populous state in deciding presidential candidates. 
...California Secretary of State Alex Padilla said in a statement about the bill called the Prime Time Primary Act. 
"California has been a leader time and time again on the most important issues facing our country—including immigration, education, and the environment. 
The Prime Time Primary Act will help ensure that issues important to Californians are prioritized by presidential candidates from all political parties."..."

LIMBAUGH: Pelosi And Schumer Show Their Colors | Daily Wire:

Contrary to liberal media reporting, the Oval Office meeting with President Trump, Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was a win for Trump, both in substance and in tone.
The meeting gave people an opportunity to see who fears transparency, who's misrepresenting his/her position and who is being the aggressor in the border debate, and it's not Donald Trump.

College Bloat Meets ‘The Blade’ - WSJ
"Mitch Daniels, America’s most innovative university president, tells how he’s kept tuition from rising and how acquiring Kaplan University will expand educational access.
...Mr. Daniels kicks off our conversation with a morality tale: “I’ll speak to an audience of businesspeople and say: Here’s the racket that you should have gone into. 
You’re selling something, a college diploma, that’s deemed a necessity. And you have total pricing power.” 
Better than that: “When you raise your prices, you not only don’t lose customers, you may actually attract new ones.”
For lack of objective measures, “people associate the sticker price with quality: ‘If school A costs more than B, I guess it’s a better school.’ ” 
A third-party payer, the government, funds it all, so that “the customer—that is, the student and the family—feels insulated against the cost. 
A perfect formula for complacency.” 
The parallels with health care, he observes, are “smack on.”...

CAIR Is Suing Texas -- You'll Never Believe Why | Clarion Project

CAIR Is Suing Texas -- You'll Never Believe Why | Clarion Project
"CAIR is suing Texas because it believes that Texas should be anti-Semitic — and the Lone Star state passed legislation that it’s not.
That’s quite an admission of its true colors on CAIR’s part.
Yet today, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is announcing a lawsuit against the state of Texas for passing anti-BDS legislation last year.
BDS stands for the boycott, divest and sanction movement against Israel which aims to strangle the Jewish state economically while at the same time calls for the flooding of Palestinians into Israel to destroy the Jewish character of the state.
According to the definition of anti-Semitism by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance and officially adopted by the U.S. (and 31 other nations), the BDS movement has been deemed at its core an anti-Semitic movement.
This is fundamentally because the movement “[applies] double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of by any other democratic nation.”
For example, there are at least 100 land disputes across the globe that are not subject to “BDS” movements..."

Weekly Update: JW Gives Testimony on Capitol Hill about Clinton Foundation - Judicial Watch

Weekly Update: JW Gives Testimony on Capitol Hill about Clinton Foundation - Judicial Watch:

When I was asked by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s Subcommittee on Government Operations to testify this week about the Clinton Foundation, I knew the challenge would be organizing the vast trove of information we have accumulated through court action over the past several years.
That evidence, I told the committee, warrants a serious investigation of the Clinton Foundation. Moreover, there is evidence that the Obama Justice Department suppressed an investigation of the Foundation.
In my testimony, I said that we were suspicious from the very beginning of Hillary Clinton’s term at the State Department if she and Bill could keep Foundation and government business separate. By 2014, it was evident that we were right, and we issued a report with the Washington Examiner:

Ivy League course chews on 'racial otherness'

• An Ivy League institution will host a course called “Literature, Food, and the American Racial Diet” during the spring 2019 semester.
• The Princeton course will be taught by English professor Anne Cheng, who incorporates “critical race studies” and “feminist theory” into her analyses.
• The course will explore “how ‘taste’ informs the ways in which we ingest or dispel racial otherness,” noting that “food, like books, is the site of our greatest consumption of and most vulnerable encounter with ‘otherness.’”

Editorial: End law that enables state to steal property
"Uri Rafaeli was behind on his property taxes by $8.41 in 2013.
And that's all it took for Oakland County to foreclose on a rental property he owned to collect the small sum and a $277 penalty.
Six months later, the county sold the property at auction for $24,500, turning a huge profit.
As hard as it is to believe, the county’s action was legal. Michigan’s General Property Tax Act requires county governments to seize property for unpaid taxes and keep the proceeds from the sale.
The size of the debt does not matter..."

What’s really dangerous is not a man who wants his son to be heterosexual or a boy who uses a gay slang to upset another boy — it’s the adults who cynically use those situations to destroy lives in a fascist effort to gain political and social power by controlling people through fear.

STARBUCKS’ NEW BATHROOM POLICY NOT WORKING OUT AS HOPED.

…A half-dozen toilets were locked or barricaded for no clear reason. Others were closed for prolonged “cleaning,” which an insider said was needed after extreme soiling caused by drug-using, incontinent vagrants.

“Letting everybody in has resulted in nobody getting in,” an employee at one branch fumed.

“Rest Room closed,” declared signs at 399 Seventh Ave. (entrance on West 32nd Street) and at a branch at Pearl Street and Maiden Lane. At 252 W. 31st St., the road to relief was blocked by garbage cans. Furniture and boxes formed a barrier at 61 W. 56th St.

A rope and traffic cones barred the way at 38 Park Row. When a desperate visitor asked if the loo would reopen any time soon, a barista directed him to a Dunkin’ Donuts nearby.

It gets even worse; read the whole thing.

Age of Rage: Five Possible Reasons for Our Current Madness | Intellectual Takeout
"How did we arrive at a point in our history where gangs of hecklers chase politicians from restaurants, where senate hearings have lost all decorum, where family members and friends part ways over politics?
Every day brings new examples of incivility and violence. 
In the last twenty-four hours, I have casually browsed several sites online. 

• Here was a professor advocating castration for white Republicans; 
• celebrities mocking a black singer for praising the President; 
• strangers leaving death threats on the phones of politicians, judges, and their families; anonymous callers phoning in false accusations of rape; 
• some wicked soul mailing the poison ricin to a Republican senator and to officials at the Pentagon..."
