Veganism wanes in significance as Americans are eating more meat than five years ago - TheBlaze

Veganism wanes in significance as Americans are eating more meat than five years ago - TheBlaze:

Despite popular culture pushing meat alternatives and legacy media insisting that Americans are “consuming less red meat,” Americans are eating more beef today than five years ago.

Americans are refusing to ditch red meat in defiance of fad diets and plant-based meat substitutes like the Impossible and Beyond lines of burgers taking over space on restaurant menus.

The New York Post reported that the average American consumed 58.6 pounds of red meat in 2021. In 2017, Americans recorded an all-time low by consuming an average of 54 pounds of red meat that year.

"There’s a reason why the Los Angeles Metro Transit poohbahs don’t want you to see this bloody and brutal video of crimes on trains, buses, and platforms (below).

It’s because the woke bunch running the place doesn’t like armed cops and they don’t want them on their buses, trains, platforms, and stops even if it stops the blood and brutality.
The crime on the Metro system is the number-one issue with riders who depend on it, and that issue sits at the center of a big political fight..."

Maher: Young People Have Anxiety Problems Because They've 'Been Indoctrinated' on COVID:

He later added that when he was out last week, “[W]hat was really sad…the only people wearing masks were like 20. That’s who is wearing the masks, the people least likely to die from it. I feel like they have been indoctrinated in a way that –. … When I saw the kids with the masks all I could think of is anxiety. And then, right on cue, I’m reading…about why we have [these] levels of anxiety among teenagers that [are] just off the charts. Now, — this is what I read — 44% of high school students said they felt sad or hopeless. Now, little perspective, all my year 17, I was sad and hopeless. Because I got dumped. And when you’re a kid, you don’t see anything coming and everything is the worst thing that could ever — so, some of that is that. When you’re a teenager, you’re going to be sad and hopeless all the time. But it also said a 40% increase in such feelings in the last ten years.

"Gone are the days when college students simply crammed for finals with caffeine-fueled all-nighters.
Colleges and universities now offer a wide variety of de-stressing opportunities.

The weeks leading up to spring 2022 final exams are no exception.

At Illinois Central College, for example, its “Destress Week” begins May 2 with “massage chairs, oxygen bars, and some arcade games,” its website states.
“Stressless Week in the Library” at the University of Minnesota Duluth includes a note to students: “As we approach the end of the semester, you may be experiencing feelings of anxiety, stress, and frustration.”
To help address that, the library in April offers a coloring table, Origami, puzzles and a “Post-it Positivity Board.” Starting this week, it will also offer yoga, silent meditation and button making, according to its website.
This week at the University of Houston, its “Stress Free Finals” programming includes Lego building. Also on tap: ice cream, its website states.
Monroe County Community College recently provided therapy dogs to its campus community. Many campuses also provide massages ahead of exams, including at Wilkes University, which invites students to relieve their “end-of-semester stress and relax before finals.”..."

UK to Ban Health Supplies from China's Slave Labour Xinjiang Region:

The British parliament is set to ban the country’s socialised healthcare system from purchasing supplies and medical equipment from the concentration camp Chinese region of Xinjiang.

In an amendment tabled by the government to the upcoming Health and Social Care Bill, the National Health Service (NHS) will be barred from buying materials produced by or involving the use of modern slavery, as has been credibly and frequently alleged of the Xinjiang region of Communist China.

Teachers Report Increasing Abuse at the Hands of Students - Intellectual Takeout

"...One quarter of teachers report being the objects of student violence and abuse according to a recent survey out of the UK.
...Unfortunately, it seems the toxic school climate is only getting worse.

As one teacher reports:
‘Having taught for almost 40 years I have witnessed a demonstrable and seemingly unstoppable deterioration in pupil behaviour,’ one said. ‘Moreover, teachers are, it seems, now expected to tolerate verbal abuse and threats as par for the course and, quite literally, an occupational hazard.’
...Many American schools offer similar chaotic environments, putting teachers at risk and making them “feel powerless to discipline” the students in their charge.
...One answer is the culture of disrespect present in our school system..."

China-Owned Food Co Closes US Plants, Putting America's Meat Supply Under Threat | Neon Nettle

China-Owned Food Co Closes US Plants, Putting America's Meat Supply Under Threat | Neon Nettle link

A China-owned food company has started closing down slaughterhouses and processing plants across the United States, putting America's meat supply in jeopardy.

"The U.S. meat supply is now under threat due to workers at facilities being diagnosed with COVID-19, leading to closures across the country.
The impact of such closures is complex and could have far-reaching consequences across the food supply chain.
America’s livestock farmers could likely come under threat of going under as wholesale prices take a dive.

Perhaps the most alarming fact to emerge from the news is that the largest provider of pork in the U.S. is owned by a corporation based in China.

...“Our country is blessed with abundant livestock supplies, but our processing facilities are the bottleneck of our food chain.”
In an April 12 release on the Sioux Falls closure, Sullivan wrote, “The closure of this facility, combined with a growing list of other protein plants that have shuttered across our industry, is pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of our meat supply..."

You parents are "barbarically lunatic". And QAnon conspirators!----------NYT columnist slams ‘crazies’ in fight over ‘when to teach sexuality to schoolkids’ as ‘barbarically lunatic’

NYT columnist slams ‘crazies’ in fight over ‘when to teach sexuality to schoolkids’ as ‘barbarically lunatic’ link
"Friday's PBS Newshour linked parents and lawmakers concerned about young children being taught about gender and sexuality in public schools to Qanon "crazies," warning they are "barbarically lunatic" and "dehumanizing" their political opponents, which "can lead to more violence."
Host Amna Nawaz asked New York Times columnist David Brooks and MSNBC host and Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart about a PBS interview with a Michigan Democrat state senator who went viral for a recent speech pushing back at Republicans who had accused her of "grooming" and "sexualizing" children.
In the interview, the state senator said, "[Republicans are] pulling this language from QAnon conspiracies."
...He then started connecting parents concerned about indoctrination in schools to conspiracy theorists: "I'd say there's two things happening here.
One is the crazies, Pizzagate, grooming, all that stuff.
That — we can't say it's fringe, but I can at least say it's crazy.
It's lunatic.
And it's not only lunatic. It's cruelly lunatic, and it's barbarically lunatic."..."

Nolte: Woke Chickens Come Home to Roost at Disney, Netflix Twitter, CNN:

The devastation done to the Woke Gestapo at Disney, Netflix, Twitter, and CNN is glorious and proof of God’s love for us.

As you know, my mantra since the Woke Terror began has been: Hang in there. This won’t last. I was confident of this for two reasons: 1) Woke is a violation of human nature, and 2) this is still America.

The seizure of a dozen private institutions and more state control over education are part of Pres. Daniel Ortega's pursuit against those believes conspire against the government.

"Four years after university students led protests against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, his government is minimizing chances of a reoccurrence by seizing a dozen private universities and closing them or shifting control to the state.
A generation of students who participated in the April 2018 protests saw their education interrupted.

Many were forced into hiding, jailed or exiled when Ortega’s police cracked down.

Now others who managed to resume their studies worry they won’t be able to finish or have finished but can’t find work because the now state-run schools haven’t given them diplomas...."

What is space? Kamala Harris has answers, gets slammed - TheBlaze:

Vice President Kamala Harris has gotten herself into a pickle before over her talks on space. Last October, it was outed that a YouTube Kids original video she participated in included child actors, leading to some heavy mockery for days. So you would think the VP would be on her game the next time she was asked to confront the topic of space. You would think. After reportedly receiving a briefing on the work of the U.S. Space Force and U.S. Space Command advancing national security, the Vice President stopped by Vandenberg Space Force Base to speak to members of the U.S. Space Force.
