Why do 30% of girls want to die?
Why do 30% of girls want to die?:
Yes, being a girl is no longer good enough. Maybe if they chop off their lady parts and replace them with man parts, that will all change. Forget brains – they must be disregarded at worst and remolded into the opposite gender at best. Gone is the quaint, old-fashioned feminism that merely discouraged girls from being homemakers. Gone are the days when girls were told they had to deny any biological urge toward motherhood and compete in the work place as purely intellectual creatures, matching men with their brains. Now, the radical leftists are encouraging girls to compete in the workplace by … becoming men. And people wonder why teen girls are suicidal? It's too much for vulnerable adolescents to handle.
REPORT: Discover credit cards enabling gun retailer purchase tracking starting in April - TheBlaze
REPORT: Discover credit cards enabling gun retailer purchase tracking starting in April - TheBlaze:
Tracking law-abiding Americans' retail purchases at firearms shops is only the beginning of the "scheme," Keane says. He notes that Amalgamated Bank CEO Priscilla Sims Brown has a broader aim, which she revealed to New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin.
That broader goal involves using "detection scenarios" that could prompt banks to file a Suspicious Activity Report to the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. Such filings could be prompted, theoretically, for lawfully purchasing firearms, safety equipment, gear, or other items at a retailer identified with the 5723 code.

Mr. Rogers song about "boys being boys" resurfaces - Louder With Crowder:
Mr. Rogers tried to warn us. Sometime in the 60s, in between kicking it with Mr. McFeely and hanging out in the Land of Make-Believe, Fred Rogers knew what was up. He knew there were shadowy forces lurking, waiting to confuse children on sex and gender. So Mr. Rogers wrote a song about it ... in 1967.
Shout out to BizPacReview for digging up this valuable lesson from Mr. Rogers about boys and girls.

Lucianne.com--Donald J. Trump: The world has finally woken to the truth about the Wuhan virus. Now it’s time to hold China to account - Daily Mail (UK), by Donald J. Trump
"Three years ago, I declared that COVID-19 almost certainly came from the Chinese Wuhan lab. Now, the world is finally admitting the truth. The cover-up of COVID-19's origins is one of the greatest scandals in the history of the world. Millions of people all over the planet have died from the China Virus. The cost of the outbreak and the lying about its origins is incalculable, some say in excess of $50 trillion. Now it's time to hold China—and the corrupt forces who have facilitated this colossal suppression of facts—accountable for the damage they have inflicted upon all of humanity...

Americans in Their 30s Are Piling On Debt - WSJ
- Danielle Smith and her family thought they had finally escaped the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle they had fallen into. They saved money during the pandemic while they were stuck at home. They used stimulus checks to chip away at $20,000 in credit-card debt and enjoyed a reprieve from monthly payments on their $160,000 in student loans.
- Lately, they have been hit with one unexpected expense after another, from an out-of-pocket MRI to a broken water heater. They also took trips with their four children that they had put off because of Covid, including to Walt Disney World, local museums and the zoo. By 2022, their credit-card debt had doubled to nearly $40,000.
