The sheer insanity of the 'transgender' fad | The Bridgehead "Feminism rebelled against reality. Transgenderism seeks to abolish it entirely. But the feminists and the gender ideologues are beginning to realize that their worldviews don’t line up very nicely.
It seems as if our culture doesn’t quite understand just how radical the transgender fad actually is—or how genuinely insulting it is to women.
When debates fired up across social media over whether or not a certain man who began identifying as a woman could be called a woman about a year ago, I remember one comment in particular.
An angry woman demanded to know if a man in a dress – or even a man with a sex change – could understand menstrual cramps, pregnancy, or dozens of other things women experience. The answer, of course, was no.
But the woman was pronounced a transphobe anyway, for not affirming that a cross-dresser was just like her..."
NASA - Next solar cycle will be weakest in 200 years - Ice Age Now "NASA dropped this bombshell announcement in a little-heralded news release coyly entitled “Solar Activity Forecast for Next Decade Favorable for Exploration.” In other words, NASA tried to make it sound like good news.
In the release, dated 12 June 2019, NASA described the upcoming decline in solar activity as a window of opportunity for space exploration instead of acknowledging the disastrous consequences such a decline could wreak on civilization.
Here are some direct quotes from the news release:
The Sun’s activity rises and falls in an 11-year cycle.The forecast for the next solar cycle says it will be the weakest of the last 200 years.(Emphasis added)..
In admitting that solar activity during sunspot-cycle 25 could be the weakest in 200 years, NASA was effectively forecasting a return to Dalton Minimum (1790-1830) conditions. But the release gives
no mention of the ferocious cold,
no mention of the disastrous crop losses,
no mention of the ensuing starvation and famine,
no mention of the wars over food,
no mention of the powerful earthquakes,
no mention of the catastrophic volcanic eruptions during the Dalton Minimum.
We’re talking about massive earthquakes such as the1811-12 New Madrid Fault earthquakes, which caused the Mississippi River to run backward, created Reelfoot Lake, and rang church bells in Boston.
The following year, 1816, is variously known as “The Year Without a Summer,” “The ‘Poverty Year,’ and ‘Eighteen Hundred and Froze To Death.’[1]Even though average global temperatures fell only 0.4–0.7 °C (0.72–1.26 °F), the resultantvolcanic winterbrought major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere.[3]
Former FBI deputy director and CNN analyst Andrew McCabe will be the keynote speaker at a Democratic Party fundraiser in Pennsylvania in September.
News of McCabe’s invitation to headline the Lancaster County Democrats’ annual fall banquet comes as the Justice Department considers whether to indict the 21-year FBI veteran for lying to the bureau about authorizing leaks to the media in October 2016.
"Once again, those pesky birds have brought down another
jetliner, similar to the Miracle on the Hudson more than ten years ago. In
this case, a Russian jetliner (only moments after departure) ingested birds
into both engines of the Airbus 321 causing the airplane to lose power.
At such a low altitude, there were very few options.
The captain, with more than 3,000 hours of flight time and
an Honors Graduate from his aviation school, spotted a nearby cornfield and
made a picture perfect approach and landing. Given the soft terrain, his
decision to keep the landing gears retracted allowed the fuselage of the
aircraft to remain intact and lessened the extent of the onboard injuries.
The 41 year-old captain then went on to apologize to the passengers, for
failing to get them to their destination.
Of the 226 passengers and 7 crew members, 23 required
medical attention and only one is listed as serious. Given the nature of
the event, coupled with a fully fueled aircraft, the low number of injuries
is already being called a miracle as it could have been much worse.
This "Miracle in the Maize" will certainly be
reviewed and used to train pilots around the world for a dual-engine bird
strike scenario. Nicely done!"

NRA: 'Shameful' Seeing Walmart Cave to 'Anti-Gun Elites':
The strongest defense of freedom has always been our free-market economy. It is shameful to see Walmart succumb to the pressure of the anti-gun elites. Lines at Walmart will soon be replaced by lines at other retailers who are more supportive of America’s fundamental freedoms.
Roy Spencer, PhD "Atlantic hurricane activity is notoriously variable, not only from year to year, but decade to decade.
In fact, based upon studies of overwash sediments in coastal lakes stretching from the Florida panhandle to eastern Louisiana, it appears that the period from 1,000 to 3,800 years ago had a considerably higher incidence of Category 4 & 5 hurricanes than in the last 1,000 years. These are admittedly indirect, proxy estimates, but if you read this American Scientist article, it sounds like the researchers have pretty strong evidence.
Why would major hurricane activity vary so much? ... Read all.
Socialism Breeds Disease and Death | Power Line "We have chronicled Venezuela’s descent into medieval levels of poverty and tyranny for several years now. But President Maduro enjoys, for the moment, the support of Venezuela’s military, so opponents are jailed, tortured and murdered, and the disastrous Chavez/Maduro regime hangs on by its fingernails, while millions of Venezuelans flee to non-socialist countries.
What happens in the last stages of democratic socialism? For one thing, diseases that have long been banished from the civilized (non-socialist) world make a comeback.
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg spoke out against actress Debra Messing Tuesday after she encouraged listing supporters of President Donald Trump who work in Hollywood.
“This is not a good idea, okay? Your idea of who you don’t want to work with is your personal business. Do not encourage people to print out lists because the next list that comes out, your name will be on, and then people will be coming after you!” Goldberg said.
"The average gross salary of a city of Detroit fire department employee was $71,233 in 2018, according to salary records released by the city. The highest salary was $157,435 for a driver within the fire department that included $75,156 in overtime. Another firefighter made $151,177 that year which included $74,222 in overtime. The lowest salary was $0 listed for six employees (which affects the "average"), as the data included all 930 plus employees, including those who didn’t work the entire year."

As the 2020 presidential election approaches, it appears that reporters won't be the only ones "investigating."
Allies of President Trump are trying to raise $2 million to investigate reporters and editors who have been campaigning against him through their comments and editorials.
"We’re at Mcconnell’s house. This bitch thinks he’s about to get some rest. Not if the children you’re kidnapping can’t get any rest, not if families being murdered cant get any rest. F*CK MITCH."
"He’s in there nursing his little broken arm, he should’ve broken his little raggedy ass neck.”
Stab him in the heart! Break his neck!
That’s the left’s message for Mitch McConnell. They’re totally opposed to violence. That’s why they want to kill him.
If you’re confused, you haven’t been paying attention lately.
Almost everything the left says these days is projection.
They accuse you of exactly what they’re doing.
This week, in the wake of two horrifying mass shootings, they’ve been telling us the president is a hater.
He’s using race to divide us!
They scream.
It’s wrong!
They’re right about the second part.
It’s definitely wrong.
But it’s also a core tenet of the left. Identity politics is the process of dividing people on the basis of immutable characteristics. That’s what the Democratic Party is at this point.
They promise some Americans reparations, while denouncing others for their skin color, which they call privilege.
The entire country, they’ll tell you, is fundamentally racist, and therefore evil..." Read all.
Democrats nearly had a brawl last week in California after the party’s Resolutions Committee rejected a proposed climate debate among Democratic presidential candidates. Global warming so fully occupies the thinking of some that there’s no room for information that will contradict their faith.
If they’d only open their minds they’d see:
The U.S. hasn’t warmed since 2005.
America isn’t the entire world.
But the alarmists gleefully point out regional heatwaves and the “hottest day on record” when cities endure summer scorchers.
So let’s look at the data. TheU.S. Climate Reference Network, “a sophisticated climate-observing network specifically designed and deployed for quantifying climate changeon a national scale,” has found there’s been no warming in the U.S. going back to 2005.
In fact, says meteorologist Anthony Watts, the“little known data from the state-of-the-art” operation, “(which never seems to make it into NOAA’s monthly ‘state of the climate’ reports) show that for the past nine months, six of them were below normal.”
The data also tell us 2019’s average has been cooler than 2005’s, the first year of the data set..."
SHAPIRO: The New Generation Is Young, Woke And Ignorant Of History | Daily Wire
"On Thursday's episode of "The Ben Shapiro Show," Shapiro dismantles Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's claim that the new generation is more knowledgeable of American history than previous generations.
...OCASIO-CORTEZ: I think young people are more informed and dynamic than their predecessors. They actually take time to read and understand our history — the history of the labor movement, history civil rights, history of racial struggles, history of economics, history of the United States, history of colonialism.
And they're not afraid to have those conversations.
If anything, I think they're profoundly courageous because they're willing to puncture taboos and have conversations that frankly older generations sometimes struggle to have.." Read all!
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot clashed with Sen. Ted Cruz over the latest burst of gun violence in the city, claiming Monday that Chicago’s decades-long crime problem is actually the fault of Republican-run states like Indiana – because they don’t have “commonsense gun legislation” in place.
Toxic Masculinity My Foot! | The Illustrated Primer "...Um, comrades Tliab, Omar, AOC, and Sarsour, I would like to correct the record here. The murder of Israa Ghrayeb and other honor killings in the Palestinian society have nothing to do with toxic masculinity–however, there is a cultural toxicity that you haven’t mentioned, and that one is 100% responsible for that great Palestinian contribution to mankind: the ‘suicide bomber’. Which interestingly, you and your clan members as well as granny Muftia have been endorsing and benefiting from financially for years.
According to a UN Women rights report, a staggering 60%-70% of all married Palestinian women regularly experience domestic physical and physiological violence and abuse.
And if this is not bad enough, about 15%-30% of all girls are also sexually abused by their own family members.
