Every tragedy is a weapon for the left!-----Michael Smith - For some, moral certainty is a bit...uncertain....

  • In 2019, Sandy Cortez said: “There's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.”
"...Chad Felix Greene has been following the tragic death of Nex Benedict, a female Oklahoma high school student who reportedly identified as nonbinary or gender fluid...
  • Benedict collapsed the next day, was rushed to the emergency room, and sadly passed away.
  • No cause of death has been released, but the medical examiner did say that there was no evidence any sort of trauma was involved.
  • But that didn’t stop the powerline sitting carrion birds in the trans lobby.
Pretty much every one of them, including the risible and oddly appropriately named California State representative, Scott Weiner, chimed in on Twitter to say the Chaya Raichik (Libs of TicTok), the transphobic Oklahomans and the GOP was to blame because another trans person was killed at their hands.
  • The first thing I thought about was the Matthew Shepard case...

If they made money from pipelines, they'd be for 'em. Doncha think?

A look at the history of its iconic swimsuit issue (first issued in 1964, the Swimsuit Edition was a major event across the 70s and 80s, at least) offers up both revelation and caution. 
  • Through 1993, one (usually big name) fashion model would claim the cover each year, with wild speculation as to who it might be leading up to the big reveal. 
In 1994, they started going a bit off-script, with three now-iconic models on the cover...
Some signs of desperation emerged in 2016 when they ran three separate issues and three models, but things went off the rails in 2021
  • The traditional "hot women" paradigm was set aside in favor of wokeness, with a couple trans models, a septuagenarian and an octogenarian, and a plus-size model gracing the covers from 2021 through last year.
  • Trans-acceptance, age-is-just-a-number, body-positivity, and other culturally progressive values were suddenly prioritized in a publication whose readership is 77% male, and who, lets be frank, buy the swimsuit edition because it's full of gorgeous-hot women...

NYC Council Calls for Investigation into Plan to Hand Illegals $10K Pre-Paid Debit Cards

As the blowback continues over Democrat Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to give illegal border crossers in city shelters pre-paid debit cards, ostensibly to use to buy food, members of the city council have asked for an investigation into the scheme.

Adams proposed his new policy early in February, and insisted the program that would allow illegals to feed themselves would save the city millions of dollars in often wasted food-service costs.

The models predict that water vapour should have increased over arid and semi-arid regions. 
In reality, atmospheric water vapour over these regions has essentially remained constant over the last four decades on average, which is strongly at odds with climate models’ projections.

Hawley urges blocking Capital One acquisition of Discover | Blaze Media

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri has urged Jonathan Kanter, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Antitrust Division, to seek to put the kibosh on the planned acquisition of Discover by Capital One. "This is destructive corporate consolidation at its starkest. If consummated, this merger will create a new juggernaut in the credit card market, with unprecedented powers to extort American consumers," Hawley declared in a letter to Kanter.
