Christian mother of 4-year-old forced to partake in LGBT ritual vows to appeal judge's ruling in discrimination suit - TheBlaze

Christian mother of 4-year-old forced to partake in LGBT ritual vows to appeal judge's ruling in discrimination suit - TheBlaze: 

A Christian couple took a London school to court after it reportedly coerced their 4-year-old into participating in an LGBT activist parade. The presiding judge ultimately ruled against Christian parents Izoduwa and Shane Montague, claiming that the activist ritual did not advance "LGBT issues over other lifestyle forms" and was actually aligned with their Christian beliefs. He also underlined the importance of teaching LGBT issues in schools to ensure that "those who adhere to that lifestyle" receive a favorable treatment.

Biden Opens Doorway for 350,000 Migrants from Mexico

Biden Opens Doorway for 350,000 Migrants from Mexico: 

President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief is widening a semi-legal door in the border to admit 1,000 people per day — or 350,000 people per year — from Mexico, despite Congress’s cap on migration numbers.

The announcement by border chief Alejandro Mayorkas comes shortly before he lifts the Title 42 border barrier, and it is intended to help avoid another PR disaster like the Del Rio arrival of perhaps 30,000 Haitian migrants in September 2021.

What Happens To A Country That Loses Its Mind? - I & I Editorial Board

"To see biological males win “woman of the year” awards and others compete against women in sports, and at least one paid to promote sports bras, it’s obvious the American mind has slipped a few gears. But our current troubles are about more than celebrating what is clearly a mental illness that needs to be treated. 

We have lost our way almost entirely across the board.

• The federal debt is heading to $31.7 trillion like a freight train at full throttle with no brakes. Spending is outpacing revenue by more than $1.5 trillion. 
• Social Security is headed for collapse sooner than its appointed guardians had expected...
• Washington is also at the axis of weaponized government. Free speech is being crushed, dissent from the left’s political agenda is considered an imprisonable offense, and court rulings are to be ignored if they offend progressive sensibilities (yes, we know, two words that don’t belong together). 
• The Democrats see the IRS not as just a revenue collector but also as a truncheon with which to discipline those who refuse to live under their boots. 
• Parents who grouse at school board meetings? They are of course terrorists who must be watched....

Women's Clothing Brand Anthropologie Features Male Model, Disables Comments After Getting Slammed by Customers

Women's Clothing Brand Anthropologie Features Male Model, Disables Comments After Getting Slammed by Customers: 

The ad featured male model Harper Watters twirling in dresses.

Anthropologie customers took to the comment section to inform the women’s clothing brand that they are not interested in seeing men dance in dresses.

The company then disabled comments for the post, so customers took to the comment sections of other posts to continue slamming the brand.

“Seriously? I don’t want to see a man’s bulge as he’s twirling in a dress,” one Instagram user wrote. “This is not the way to go Anthropologie. Looks like my recent purchases are going back to the store.”

Teachers union resolution: Capitalism ‘exploits children, public schools’ - DAVE HUBER - ASSOCIATE EDITOR

"The Colorado branch of the National Education Association recently was offered a resolution which states it believes capitalism “requires exploitation of children [and] public schools.”

• The original Colorado Education Association resolution, submitted by history teacher Bryan Lindstrom, states that “the only way to fully address systemic racism, climate change, patriarchy, education [and] income inequality is to dismantle capitalism and replace it with a new, equitable economic system.”
• The final version slightly alters the above to “Capitalism is in opposition to fully addressing systemic racism, climate change, patriarchy, and education [and] income inequality.”

"It's Spooky": Stanford Professor Warns Thousands Of US Banks Are "Potentially Insolvent" | ZeroHedge

"It's Spooky": Stanford Professor Warns Thousands Of US Banks Are "Potentially Insolvent" | ZeroHedge - BY TYLER DURDEN

• Following the collapse of First Republic last week, the meltdown of three other banks, and the Federal Reserve's quarter-point increase, making the tenth straight hike in an aggressive campaign to tame elevated inflation, a professor of finance at the Stanford Graduate School of Business presented a grim warning that the regional banking dominos are falling.
• In a New York Times opinion piece titled "Yes, You Should Be Worried About a Potential Bank Crisis. Here's Why," Professor Amit Seru wrote, "the fragility and collapse of several high-profile banks are most likely not an isolated phenomenon." He said, "A damaging combination of fast-rising interest rates, major changes in work patterns, and the potential of a recession could prompt a credit crunch not seen since the 2008 financial crisis."...

...Our latest note, featuring BofA strategist Michael Hartnett highlights that "every Fed tightening cycle ends in crisis", in this case US regional banks.

• Finally, the apocalyptic warning about the US banking system comes as JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon claims that "the system is very, very sound."

Blue State Blues: Time for an Impeachment Inquiry into Biden for Bribery

Blue State Blues: Time for an Impeachment Inquiry into Biden for Bribery: 

President Joe Biden can be impeached for bribery, one of the two offenses specifically mentioned in Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.

The bribery does not — as Democrats reminded us smugly during the Trump impeachments — need to reach a criminal standard. It simply needs to be plain enough to make a plausible case — and we reached that level long ago, even before this week’s bombshell from the House Oversight Committee.

• Amid rampant corruption in Kiev and as US troops gather at the Ukrainian border, does the Biden administration have an endgame to the conflict?

"...It is unknown how much the Zelensky government is paying per gallon for the fuel, but the Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline from a port in Pakistan, via truck or parachute, into Afghanistan during the decades-long American war there.

• What also is unknown is that Zelensky has been buying the fuel from Russia, the country with which it, and Washington, are at war, and the Ukrainian president and many in his entourage have been skimming untold millions from the American dollars earmarked for diesel fuel payments. 
• One estimate by analysts from the Central Intelligence Agency put the embezzled funds at $400 million last year, at least...
