Campus Reform | University of Minnesota tried to give money to children to play with 'MyGender Dolls' with swappable genitalia

‘We are looking to hear from transgender and gender diverse children between the ages of 5 and 10 years old and their parents about a new hands-on activity to help talk about gender and bodies!’ the event description read. - By Elad Vaida

Public/Private "partner-scam"!!-----Michigan’s Corporate Welfare Failure: Only 1 in 11 Jobs Promised Were Created

New study examines 20 years of job announcement headlines 
MIDLAND, Mich. — As the Michigan Legislature considers a new wave of corporate welfare handouts during its lame-duck session, a new study from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy ...reveals that only 9% of the jobs announced in major state-sponsored deals from 2000 to 2020 were ever created.
  • Analyzing front-page headlines from the Detroit Free Press, the study found that while companies promised 123,060 jobs through subsidy agreements, only 10,889 materialized. 
  • Worse, half of the companies awarded deals created no jobs at all, and just 15% of companies met or exceeded their job projections...
Here are just a few of the 41 job announcements and results covered in the study:
  • A 2007 deal with a Detroit pharmaceutical company promised to create 600 jobs. Instead, the company added zero new jobs and closed its facility by 2014.
  • A 2009 deal with General Electric promised 1,200 jobs. Zero jobs were created.
  • A 2008 headline announced, “State reels in jobs.” It announced 4,800 jobs. Companies created 112 jobs.
  • One local official proclaimed she could not “overstate the impact” of a 2015 deal to create 1,000 jobs. The company created 26 jobs...

Repeat the lie often enough....-----Newsweek Claims U.S. Cities Would be Underwater by 2050, Forgets the Same Predictions Were Made for 2000 and 2020 1 day ago Anthony Watts

None of those cities is even close to being “underwater,” or even having the coastal waters lapping at their streets, parking lots or buildings...
A recent article in Newsweek, titled “Map Shows US Cities That Could Be Underwater in 2050,” claims that a number of major cities will be submerged beneath rising seas by 2050 if humans don’t stop climate change.
This is false, as false as when the same claims were made by multiple media outlets repeatedly over the preceding decades leading up to 2000 and 2020....

Trump Secures $100 Billion Win for America Before He Even Takes Office

Trump Secures $100 Billion Win for America Before He Even Takes Office

Americans must have forgotten what it looks like when one of their elected officials fights for their interests.

Fortunately, President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election has produced regular reminders of how it ought to look.

On Monday, Trump welcomed Japanese CEO Masayoshi Son to the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where the billionaire tech investor pledged a $100 billion investment in the United States, double what he pledged on a similar occasion eight years ago but not enough to keep Trump from showing off his legendary negotiating skills.

MAID in the Great White North: Canadian per Capita Euthanasia Deaths Now Beat U.S. Gun Deaths

The story in question is about Kathrin Mentler, a woman who struggles with suicidal ideation. She sought help for a crisis and was offered assisted suicide rather than suicide prevention: - Amy Curtis
Back in March, Canada added mental illness to its list of MAiD-eligible conditions. 
What's MAiD? 
It's Canada's 'Medical Assistance in Dying' program. 
It was meant to help patients with terminal illnesses die with 'dignity' and now it's devolved into being used to off the poor, Canadian military veterans, the disabled, and the mentally ill...
  • FIVE PERCENT of Canadian deaths were medically-assisted suicide last year.

Action is the only guarantee for peace!

 

As Demand for Electricity Soars, a Key Part of the Power Grid Is In Short Supply

Transformers keep everything running and the power industry can’t make them fast enough. -
Matthew Gault
Everything in the world runs on electricity and power is in constant demand. 
To solve the geometric demand for more power, humans are reviving nuclear power plants, advancing fusion energy, investing in solar power, and building more traditional gas and oil plants. 
  • No matter how you make it, all these methods of creating electricity require a crucial piece of tech: transformers. 
According to IEEE Spectrum, there are not enough of them...

Socialist Creates "Most Wanted CEO" Deck of Cards After United Healthcare Shooting - Victory Girls Blog

The founder of a “socialist apparel” brand who has called online for the death of corporate executives is planning to sell a deck of cards of “most wanted CEOs” — complete with names and faces and decorated with illustrations of gun range targets.- Victory Girls Blog by Nina Bookout 
And thus, he created one and gleefully touted it on Instagram and TikTok.

Comrade Workwear founder James Harr announced the disturbing project just days after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was executed on the streets of Midtown Manhattan.

He said it was inspired by the “most-wanted Iraqi” playing card decks famously distributed to US and coalition forces during the 2003 invasion of Iraq to help identify key targets in Saddam Hussein’s circle.

The drone incident in Ohio highlights growing concerns over the barrage of drone activity in the Northeast, especially in New Jersey.

Duh!-----Scientists develop revolutionary new tool that uses trees to help cool down cities: 'That information hasn't been available'

Planting trees is a common cooling method, but it relies primarily on guesswork and isn't backed by precise science.

  • "Trees are good at cooling because they pump a lot of water from the ground into the air, and when that water evaporates at the leaf surface, it absorbs a vast amount of heat," said Steward Pickett, co-author and urban ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies.
  • "That's just the physics of evaporation. The shade provided by trees also helps with cooling," he added...

Can counselors legally free people trapped by LGBT feelings? Supreme Court pushed to get involved * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Can counselors legally free people trapped by LGBT feelings? Supreme Court pushed to get involved * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

For a number of years already, state and local governments that abide by the leftist ideology found in the LGBT movement have tried to promote their beliefs by censoring ideas that contradict. Specifically, they've labeled ordinary talk therapy delivered by counselors to patients who want to rid themselves of various LGBT ideologies as "conversion" therapy and banned it, despite the fact that infringes on the First Amendment's protection of free speech. They demand that pro-LGBT counseling is acceptable, but anything that contradicts the ideology must be banned.
