De Blasio told a press conference Monday that the change will help improve the health of New York's students, and will hopefully have an impact on climate change..."

Marxism, the Frankfurt School, and the Leftist Takeover of the College Campus
Marxism, the Frankfurt School, and the Leftist Takeover of the College Campus:
There is no longer objectivity in the sciences or arts, and everything becomes an element of interpretation. Knowledge, according to Marxist thought, can be manipulated to serve a purpose, and that is what the left is actively doing. While this idea that objective knowledge is no longer accepted might seem like nonsense, these ideas are prominent in far-ranging academic subjects from the arts to the sciences. In turn, these ideas are captivating campuses and infecting students everywhere.
Simply evil!-----Heartbroken mom on trans teen: "My once-beautiful daughter is now bearded, homeless, and sterilized." | The Bridgehead
Heartbroken mom on trans teen: "My once-beautiful daughter is now bearded, homeless, and sterilized." | The Bridgehead
"I was shocked when my thirteen-year-old daughter told me she was really my transgender son.
She had no masculine interests and hated all sports.
But as a smart, quirky teen on the autism spectrum, she had a long history of not fitting in with girls.
Where did she get the idea she was transgender?
From a school presentation—at a school where over 5 percent of the student body called themselves trans or nonbinary, and where several students were already on hormones, and one had a mastectomy at the age of sixteen.
...I took her to a gender clinician seeking expert guidance.
Instead, he accepted her new identity and told me I must refer to my daughter with masculine pronouns, call her by a masculine name, and buy her a binder to flatten her breasts.
He recommended no therapy, and there was no consideration of the social factors that obviously affected her thinking.
I was directed to put her on puberty blocking drugs.
I was falsely assured that these drugs were well-studied, and that they were a perfectly safe way for her to “explore gender.”
I was told that if I did not comply, she would be at higher risk of suicide.
...My daughter then ran away to Oregon where state law allowed her—at the age of seventeen, without my knowledge or consent—to change her name and legal gender in court, and to undergo a double mastectomy and a radical hysterectomy.
My once beautiful daughter is now nineteen years old, homeless, bearded, in extreme poverty, sterilized, not receiving mental health services, extremely mentally ill, and planning a radial forearm phalloplasty (a surgical procedure that removes part of her arm to construct a fake penis).
The level of heartbreak and rage I am experiencing, as a mother, is indescribable..."

Trump Battles the 'Deep State,' and the Swamp Strikes Back | National Review
Never before in the history of the presidency had a commander-in-chief earned the antipathy of the vast majority of the media, much of the career establishments of both political parties, the majority of the holders of the nation’s accumulated personal wealth, and the permanent federal bureaucracy.
And lived to tell the tale.
This Is Why Doctors Are Marking Their Scrub Caps with Sharpies
This Is Why Doctors Are Marking Their Scrub Caps with Sharpies:
It started with Dr. Rob Hackett, who can easily be spotted while walking through the corridors of his hospital — his name and role is emblazoned in large letters on his scrub cap.
- Doctors Are Saving Lives by Writing Their Names on Their Scrub Caps
It started with Dr. Rob Hackett, who can easily be spotted while walking through the corridors of his hospital — his name and role is emblazoned in large letters on his scrub cap.
...But Dr. Hackett's scrub-cap name tag is catching on and tons of doctors are following his lead.
But it's not the some inexplicable fashion trend, like Crocs.
It's because the practice is making a difference in the way their hospitals are operating in high-pressure environments.
The reason?
With the amount of staff walking around hospitals, it's difficult to keep track of everybody's name and specialty... ... it's a huge problem, especially when you're working with a team of surgeons and every second counts. Dr. Hackett spoke about a patient experiencing cardiac arrest. The doctor asked a colleague for a pair of gloves, but there was confusion as to who he was speaking to." Read all.

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming

"Hi everyone
This is my first post here and i realize most of us will.
Not be able to read Arabic .
Attached photos are simple count of the pages teaching and preaching of global warming lessons in the environmental education textbook of my 10th grade daughter , note we come from Jordan the Middle East country by Israel and Syria .
The book is 60 pages in total and the global warming context occupies 16 pages of that total .
This is equivalent to 26.7% of Carbon dioxide preaching and saturation on earths climate warming that sweeps over the book in a phenomenal explanation.!
My younger daughters also get greater doses, do you get the same in your places ?
Does it click any buttons to anyone why we struggle to put evidence in construct that CO2 is not responsible for global warming ?
We are brain washed with CO2.
Note :-Jordan Gov't received 8 billion USD aid to help adapting to global and climatic change (namely warming) in the past 10 years, this is true!

- John Thwaite** So apparently if you’re prepared to brain-wash your kids with this BS masquerading as science, the UN will throw money at you. Sounds legit.
- Mohamad Alkhateeb** John Thwaite, also we got drowned In sudden flash floods last month, powerful infrastructure ! I wonder where the hell did they spend the 8 billions !
- John Thwaite** Mohamad Alkhateeb, They need shiny new jet aircraft so they can appear to be “progressive” when attending the next IPCC event.
35 Key People Involved In The Russia Hoax Who Need To Be Investigated
35 Key People Involved In The Russia Hoax Who Need To Be Investigated:
The documents have been called “dossiers,” but that really just attaches a fancy term to a Word document full of unverified mumbo jumbo that alleged Trump-Russia collusion. Those Word documents were then used to spy on the opposing political party’s presidential campaign, and to plant stories in the media right before the election insinuating that Trump had nefarious ties with Russia.
Here are 36 people who should be interviewed under oath, if they have not been interviewed already, some of whom should be subjected to criminal prosecution.

Again and again-----New York City is edging toward financial disaster, experts warn
New York City is edging toward financial disaster, experts warn"New York City is careening closer to all-out financial bankruptcy for the first time since Mayor Abraham Beame ran the city more than 40 years ago, experts say.
As tax-fleeced businesses and individuals flee en masse, and city public spending surges into the stratosphere, financial analysts say Gotham is perilously near total fiscal disaster.
Long-term debt is now more than $81,100 per household, and Mayor de Blasio is ramping up to spend as much as $3 billion more in the new budget than the current $89.2 billion.
...“New York is already in a difficult financial spot, but it would be in an impossible situation if we had any kind of setback.”
...But city spending, up some 32 percent since de Blasio took office — triple the rate of inflation — may need to be cut deeper, these analysts add.
The city’s long-term pension obligations have escalated, as well, as its workforce has soared by more than 33,000 in the last five years..."

"...It may make sense to recycle a few items for the savings in carbon emissions — paper, cardboard, and metals such as aluminum from cans.

- It’s very expensive and has little or no environmental benefit.
"...It may make sense to recycle a few items for the savings in carbon emissions — paper, cardboard, and metals such as aluminum from cans.
Recycling a ton of these items saves about three tons of carbon dioxide.
Glass, plastic, rubber, all the other stuff?
Not really.
We used to send our plastic empties to China, but China has lost interest, as The Atlantic’s Alana Semuels reports in “Is This the End of Recycling?” The subhead reads, “Now that other countries won’t take our papers and plastics, they’re ending up in the trash.”
Some municipalities are directing those recycling trucks to the nearest incinerator.
A transfer station in New Hampshire reports that sending rubbish to a landfill costs $68 a ton.
Recycling it?
That costs $125 a ton. Wasn’t recycling supposed to save us money, not cost twice as much?..."

Judicial Watch Exposes Deep State Anti-Trump Collusion - Judicial Watch
Judicial Watch Exposes Deep State Anti-Trump Collusion - Judicial Watch:
Big news. We just uncovered 339 pages of heavily redacted records from the Justice Department which reveal that former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele was terminated by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the media his position as an FBI confidential informant.
The records show that Ohr served as a go-between for Steele by passing along information to “his colleagues” on matters relating to Steele’s activities. Ohr also set up meetings with Steele, regularly talked to him on the telephone and provided him assistance in dealing with situations Steele was confronting with the media.
“Get Trump” Dossier author Steele worked for the Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS, the Hillary Clinton campaign/DNC contractor that also employed Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr’s wife.

Finley: AG Nessel puts civil liberties at risk
Finley: AG Nessel puts civil liberties at risk"Combating hate crimes is a worthy endeavor.
But the new campaign announced by Attorney General Dana Nessel has the real potential to morph into thought policing.
Nessel, in partnership with Agustin Arbulu, director of the Michigan Department of Civil rights, say they will create a process to document incidents of hate and bias that don't rise to the level of criminal or civil infractions.
That could translate to speech or expressions of opinion that some may find offensive, but are protected by the First Amendment.
Bias is protected by the Constitution until it infringes on the rights and freedoms of others, and hate is often in the eye of the beholder..."

"In 2008’s iconic superhero film The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger’s Joker barks at Christian Bale’s Batman:
Don’t talk like one of [the cops]; you’re not! Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak, like me. They need you now, but when they don’t, they’ll cast you out like a leper. See, their morals, their code, it’s a bad joke, to be dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. I’ll show you, when the chips are down, these civilized people? They’ll eat each other.
He might as well have been talking about Silicon Valley.
Twenty-eighteen was a bad year for the totalitarian titans of tech.
Faced with one scandal after another, the industry retreated behind a wall of lobbying money, hoping their bank accounts would shield them from their increasingly ugly image in the public eye as politically bigoted, misanthropic, overgrown children, incapable of following rules, norms, or even laws.
Twenty-nineteen doesn’t look to be much better.
...As a result, the industry is doing what any group of cornered predators does, and eating each other to try to stay alive.
Thus, a piece in Forbes magazine informs the reader that:
Microsoft, the industry’s journeyman of governmental warfare, is cleverly advocating regulation of a narrow slice of potentially creepy technology: facial recognition. Apple is pointing fingers, suggesting its data-privacy stance is holier than Facebook’s and Google’s. Facebook, in a preview of how the industry will battle its adversaries, has simultaneously called for some form of regulation while darkly warning of the unintended consequences of the wrong kind...
Probably the most encouraging development listed is Apple’s turn against Facebook and Google..."
