Federal Judge Says School Hiding Kids’ Gender Transitions Doesn’t ‘Shock The Conscience,’ Throws Out Parent Lawsuit

• A pair of siblings said they wanted to transition. - By Mairead Elordi

"A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit from Massachusetts parents who accused public school officials of hiding their children’s gender transitions from them.
U.S. District Court Judge Mark Mastroianni, an Obama appointee, criticized Ludlow Public Schools officials for allegedly hiding the pair of siblings’ gender transitions from their parents, but he said the officials’ actions do not “shock the conscience.”
...The parents claimed that school officials failed to inform them that their two children, an 11-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy, were transitioning to a gender other than the one corresponding to their biological sex...

Media Silent On UN Chief's False Claim Weather Disasters Up 500% In 50 Years - Climate Change Dispatch

"Last September, the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres claimed climate, weather, and water-related disasters had increased by 500% over the last 50 years. According to the political and environmental science writer Professor Roger Pielke Jr, this is “pure misinformation.”

He goes on to suggest that “you will never find a more obvious and egregious wrong claim in public discussions from a more important institution.”

Matters were made even worse, in Pielke’s view, because the false notion was “legitimized” by none other than the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), one of the founding bodies of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. [emphasis, links added]...

CNN medical analyst who said the unvaccinated should not be able to travel changes her tune, emphasizes benefits of natural immunity - TheBlaze: 

A CNN medical analyst who promoted lockdowns and vaccination requirements and at one stage claimed "we can't trust the unvaccinated" has taken to the pages of the Washington Post to confirm claims that were up until recently derided as misinformation. The so-called health expert now admits that natural immunity is optimal and that those who are vaccinated but had not previously caught COVID-19 are more susceptible to infection.

A President Who Warned Americans What Extravagant Federal Spending Would Do to Character - Foundation for Economic Education

A President Who Warned Americans What Extravagant Federal Spending Would Do to Character - Foundation for Economic Education - Lawrence W. Reed

• A President Who Warned Americans What Extravagant Federal Spending Would Do to Character
• Grover Cleveland was a man who said what he meant and meant what he said, come Hell or high water.

"...Cleveland won the White House in 1884 on a platform of restraining federal spending and corruption.

...A major reason he came out of retirement to run again in 1892 was the reckless spending of the Harrison administration. 

He beat Harrison that year and became the only man ever elected to non-consecutive terms (1885-89 and 1893-97).

• ...In 1901, the federal government spent half a billion dollars over the whole year, roughly equivalent in real terms to around $12 billion today. 
• Washington spends that much now in about half a day. 

Lest you think the feds were misers in 1901, ponder what Cleveland had to say in his article that year:

"Probably no one will have the hardihood to deny that the cost of our Government is excessive and wasteful, and that for this condition the heedless neglect and indifference of our people are in some degree responsible…

If the aggregate mass of our people are at all blameworthy on account of the present advanced stage of public prodigality, it is largely because they overlooked and tolerated its small beginnings, when at all times they should have been vigilant and uncompromising. 

A self-ruling people…should constantly remember that nothing multiplies itself more abundantly than national extravagance, and that neither an individual nor a popular government can easily correct or check habits of waste."...

Bad Words: California Colleges Push Students To Purge ‘Harmful’ Phrases Like ‘Brown Bag Lunch’

• 
  Stanford University and California Polytechnic State University also discourage 'gender-based' terms like 'mother and father'
• If you’ve ever used the phrases "brown bag lunch" or "long time, no see," congratulations: You’re a racist, according to Stanford University.

That’s the judgment of the university’s IT Department, which is rolling out its "Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative," an effort to purge "potentially harmful terms" from the university’s websites. 

The guide cautions that the phrase "blind study" is "ableist" and that saying "balls to the wall" inappropriately "attributes personality traits to anatomy."...

"These decisions — failures to prosecute violent offenders for their crimes or, even worse, releasing repeat offenders arrested for crimes who show a propensity for escalation of violence — make our communities less safe. These rogue prosecutors are putting innocent lives at risk. When there are no consequences for breaking the law, more people will break the law and crime will increase," he wrote.
