Kansas Lawmaker Denounced for Feeling Discomfort at Sharing a Bathroom With Transgender Colleague
"...Kansas state Rep. Cheryl Helmer responded to an email from a transgender activist asking about the banning of biological males from female sports...
“Now, personally I do not appreciate the huge transgender female who is now in our restrooms in the Capitol,” Helmer wrote in an email which was published by the Topeka-Capital Journal. “It is quite uncomforting. I have asked the men if they would like a woman in their restroom and they freaked out.”
The transgender lawmaker in question, Rep. Stephanie Byers, was offended that Helmer was uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with a biological male..."

"We're told solar and wind future
But when wind is not blowing and sun not shining?
Batteries!
Yet Europe uses 7.5GWh/minute and has 10.2GWh of battery storage: enough for just 1m:21s
2030: 11m:45s
After that, we need 100% backup, mostly fossil fuels"

Supreme Court poised to side with Christian football coach fired for praying after games - TheBlaze:
The Washington Post reported that the questions raised by the court’s conservatives "indicated they believe the school district has misread the court’s precedents regarding government endorsement of religion, and perhaps were hostile to such demonstrations."
For example, Justice Clarence Thomas questioned whether Kennedy would have been terminated or otherwise punished had he taken a knee during the singing of the national anthem in protest against racism.
The Left Hates Real Fairness, Wants Equity
The Left Hates Real Fairness, Wants Equity
- Equity to them is another word for revenge.
Instead of pursuing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s ideal of judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, the Biden administration committed to a different path.
- Equity’s worldview, as I see it, starts with the proposition that the white majority is guilty of bigotry and oppression,
- and that all differential outcomes between groups are solely the result of that bigotry and oppression.
- Equity proponents therefore argue that retributive actions against the majority are necessary to correct those wrongs – we’ll get to that later..."

(The Center Square) – Egg prices increased dramatically in April, due in part to the avian flu, and industry sources don’t expect prices to fall anytime soon.
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) data shows approximately 24.8 million egg-laying hens were affected by the flu, which typically requires destruction of the birds, since February.
The United Egg Producers says there are 232 million egg-laying hens in the country, meaning the flu has taken out more than 10%..."

- There is enough recoverable crude oil within the continental US to supply current and projected future demand for 400+ years, and that’s just the oil we know about. It doesn’t account for future discoveries. That’s a fact, jack.
- We do not need to import a SINGLE DROP of foreign crude oil. The domestic oil industry can easily meet, and even surpass domestic demand. We’ve done it before, and we can do it again. That’s a fact, jack.
- The domestic oil industry currently cannot satisfy domestic demand due to oil drilling restrictions imposed by the federal government. That’s a fact, jack.
- The price of EVERYTHING revolves around oil, and the law of supply vs demand dictates the price of oil. When oil is plentiful, commodities are cheap. When oil is scarce, commodities are more expensive. Right now, domestic oil is scarce, and the price of everything is high because of these restrictions imposed by the federal government. That’s a fact, jack...Read all.

Although some types of special districts have value, most are superfluous, obscure and burdensome.

Democratic official threatens school closures, new mandates over COVID-19 booster numbers - TheBlaze
Democratic official threatens school closures, new mandates over COVID-19 booster numbers - TheBlaze:
Elrich's threat predictably drew backlash.
One critic pointed out that booster shots do not prevent case surges. A self-avowed "fellow liberal" urged Elrich to "please stop," suggesting that he should instead focus on issues that actually impact Montgomery County residents, like crime. Another local resident called Elrich an "authoritarian."
"This is very misguided, wrong messaging and application of science all in 1 tweet! Threatening virtual learning for the Least at risk, based on knowing the negative impact it had, because of booster rates, even though having booster doesn’t prevent cases and prevent an 'uptick'!" said WTTG-TV senior vice president Patrick Paolini.

Why Violence Is An Inevitable Outcome Of Critical Race Theory link
- For true believers of critical race theory, America is too steeped in racial oppression to be changed from within. Destruction is the only alternative.
"Our nation has been rocked by at least two significant acts of domestic terrorism in a five-month span.
- Last week, Frank James opened fire in a New York City subway, injuring 23 people.
- In November, Darrell Brooks drove his SUV through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing 6 people and injuring 60 others.
More significantly, both Brooks and James had expressed radical views on social media advocating violence towards whites in the lead-up to their attacks, strongly suggesting
race relations were a key motive for their acts of violence. (Naturally, the mainstream media has neglected to find out if it was indeed their motivation)..."

What it comes down to is this: So long as your data is how Facebook makes money, the company has no vested interest in what happens to it after they’ve gotten their cut.--Posted by
