WI attorney reacts to trans woman flashing male genitalia at girls in locker room shower: 'Keep our kids safe' | Fox News

Outrage ensued in a Wisconsin school district after an 18-year-old male-to-female transgender student allegedly got into the showers with four freshman girls and exposed their male genitalia to them at an area high school. In a statement, an attorney representing the district admitted the incident should have never happened, but one legal group says the overall response to concerns raised by parents has been lackluster at best. "The most basic duty of a school district is to keep our kids safe while they learn," Dan Lennington, Deputy Counsel at the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL), told Fox News' Pete Hegseth on Sunday.

When Did the Left Become Anti-Health? - Intellectual Takeout - Jordan Alexander
  • ...these days, it’s not uncommon to see conservatives noting the dangers of ultra-processed foods, seed oils, and pesticides. 
  • Meanwhile, the left is busy promoting fake meat, obesity, and big pharma. On the left, health is a word that has lost all meaning. 
Just take the promotion of obesity as healthy as an example. 
This is a far cry from the stereotypical health-conscious lefty of just 15 years ago...

They're hiding something. WHAT IS IT?!!-----Officials Face Growing Pressure to Release Nashville School Shooter’s Manifesto

Officials Face Growing Pressure to Release Nashville School Shooter’s Manifesto - By Jack PhillipsLocal officials said that Hale, a female who used transgender pronouns, left behind a suicide note, journals, and other materials. 
However, none of that has been released to the public, and a motive hasn’t been publicly identified in the case.
“It’s been very perplexing to all of us involved,” Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) told Fox News on April 24. 
“It seems that certain information is flooded into the marketplace immediately if it fits the narrative, so to speak. If the information does not fit the narrative, it seems to get suppressed.”

Harriet Hageman Calls for Antony Blinken to Appear Before the Weaponization Committee

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) on Saturday called for Secretary of State Antony Blinken to appear before Congress to answer questions about his role in the crafting of a letter by 51 former intelligence officials that discredited the Hunter Biden laptop story weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

JONATHAN TURLEY: Antony Blinken and the ‘made men’ of the Biden administration.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken would really, really prefer to talk about grain in Ukraine this week. But many people are less interested in what Blinken is doing as secretary of state than in what he did to become secretary of state.

This week, Blinken was implicated in a political coverup that could well have made the difference in the 2020 election. According to the sworn testimony of former acting CIA Director Michael Morrell, Blinken – then a high-ranking Biden campaign official – was “the impetus” of the false claim that the Hunter Biden laptop story was really Russian disinformation.

Morrell then organized dozens of ex-national security officials to sign the letter claiming that the Hunter laptop story had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”...

Biden admin preparing major crackdown on power plants that fuel nation's grid | Fox News

The Biden administration is reportedly finalizing a proposal that would force fossil fuel-fired power plants to substantially curb emissions or utilize costly carbon capture technology.

The proposal — which will soon be released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — is expected to require coal- and natural gas-fired power plants to cut or capture the vast majority of their carbon dioxide emissions by 2040, The New York Times reported on Saturday, citing officials briefed on a draft of the plan. The regulation, if finalized, would represent the first-ever federal action curbing power plant emissions.

MUST READ of the week!-----Tucker up, Buttercup! - by Jeff Goldstein

Tucker up, Buttercup! - by Jeff Goldstein - JEFF GOLDSTEIN
  • With Carlson out at Fox, and Matt Walsh pulled from YouTube, is the Uniparty making its move?
"...Tucker was one of the few on-air talents on FOX you could see at times wrestling against the network’s hidden restraints, which we’ve all long known were there, and which we’ve all long known were being used to keep certain stories out of the news cycle and to foster certain narratives that the Uniparty favors or even promotes.
To me, it was obvious at the time of his release of January 6 footage — and the sudden and inexplicable stoppage of that release during subsequent shows — that bosses at Fox had applied the clamps to the January 6 story, and that Tucker had unfortunately buckled. 
Since then, though, his edge has only sharpened...
Carlson, that is, understands that what we are witnessing...is a toxic brew of applied postmodern Theory, cultural Marxism, and a move to globalize a re-worked iteration of communism under the twin values of “sustainability” and “inclusivity.” 
  • This is what Klaus Schwab means when he calls for amove from a Production and Consumption to a Sharing and Caring economy metaphor”. 
To achieve this move, Schwab and his coterie of Supervillains have made it clear that they will insinuate these new values into our children, who — having been raised to insist upon such values inorganically yet obsessively — will become the vanguard for the Great Reset, the clay out of which Schwab and the transhumanist elite who run him will mold the new New Man. 
As I’ve argued with some frequency recently, what we are witnessing is Maoism marketed to the Western aesthetic...READ IT ALL!

Priorities. Liberal priorities.



Hearing to See How Spy Powers Have Been 'Weaponized Against' Americans

Hearing to See How Spy Powers Have Been 'Weaponized Against' Americans

The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday will investigate how Section 702, a law that was designed to help combat terrorism, has been “weaponized against” Americans.

Breitbart News first reported that the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing next week on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) ahead of Section 702’s December reauthorization deadline.

See any similarities?

  • This day in 1925, General Paul von Hindenburg took office as president of Germany.
  • He was a cognitively diminished 77 years old.
  • Sociopathic morons actually ran the country.
Wildly printing money, enriching the military/industry complex, using courts for "ruthless prosecution of those whose activities are injurious to the common interest", central control of education, press/media ("We demand legal warfare on deliberate political mendacity and its dissemination in the press").
He was 86 when he died and Adolf Hitler took over as Fuhrer.
  • Joe Biden first took office as US President in 2021.
  • He was a cognitively diminished 78 years old.
  • Sociopathic morons actually run the country.
Wildly printing money, enriching the military/industry/enviro complex, using courts for "ruthless prosecution of those whose activities are injurious to the common interest", central control of education, press/media ("We demand legal warfare on deliberate political mendacity and its dissemination in the press").
He will be 86 if he fulfills his full second term.
