State Department announces gender ‘X’ marker for U.S. passports

“Today the State Department and DHS announced new steps that will improve the travel experience for transgender Americans.”


The Democrat’s latest fetish is now bordering on obsession. Their sex-obsessed policies should scare the hell out of every rational American.

State Department will offer ‘X’ gender marker for U.S. passports

The announcement was part of a suite of federal actions unveiled by the Biden administration on International Transgender Day of Visibility.

By Quint Forgey, Politico, March 31, 2022:

The State Department on Thursday announced that it will make an “X” gender marker available on U.S. passports beginning April 11, and the option to select the marker for other forms of documentation will become available next year.

On State Department public forms, the “X” gender marker will be defined as “Unspecified or another gender identity.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement that the definition “is respectful of individuals’ privacy while advancing inclusion.”

The news of the State Department’s “X” gender marker comes after the department announced last June that it would begin allowing U.S. passport applicants to self-select their gender as “M” or “F,” and that it would no longer require medical certification if an applicant’s choice did not match the gender on their other documentation.

The LGBT Agenda is to Destroy America by Sterilizing Our Youth

Sterilizing American youth, the newest line of effort for destroying American people, culture and history.


BREAKING: DOJ sent a letter to all states THREATENING doctors who won’t chemically neuter or surgically castrate patients w/gender confusion.

America First Legal sued to stop HHS from carrying out this vile threat:

AFL Sues to block radical Biden edict forcing doctors to provide unethical transgender treatments, erasing biological sex from medicine

WASHINGTON, D.C. — America First Legal sued the Biden Administration on behalf of a class of doctors, seeking to prohibit the Department of Health and Human Services from forcing medical professionals to provide unethical transgender-related medical services.

Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act prohibits “sex” discrimination in any health program or activity that receives federal funds. Three months ago, HHS announced that it will “interpret and enforce” section 1557 to prohibit: (1) “discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation”; and (2) “discrimination on the basis of gender identity.” But nothing in section 1557 prohibits discrimination on account of “sexual orientation” or “gender identity”—and nothing in this statute requires doctors and health-care providers to deny biological reality by providing “gender-affirming” healthcare.

HHS’s interpretation of section 1557 threatens every medical provider who refuses to bow to the demands of homosexual and transgender activists. It allows anyone to file a complaint against a doctor who refuses to provide services or referrals that violate his ethical or religious beliefs, and if HHS determines that doctor engaged in discrimination based on “sexual orientation” or “gender identity,” that doctor would face significant consequences—including fines, penalties, and lack of access to patients who use federally-backed insurance plans (such as Medicare and Medicaid).

AFL is proud to represent the class of doctors in this case to stop the Biden Administration from using the government as a cudgel to advance its radical anti-science, anti-medicine, and anti-religious-freedom agenda.

Statement From America First Legal President Stephen Miller:

“In perhaps no area is it more dangerous and destructive to erase biological sex than the field of healthcare. Treatment, medicine, pharmaceuticals, surgery, and other care must comport with biological reality and anatomy—or the results can be irreversibly damaging, even lethal. There is no plausible reading of this statute that would, or ever could, compel doctors to treat biological males as females or biological females as males. By any definition, this Biden edict is unlawful, unconstitutional, and medically unconscionable. This Orwellian decree denies science, denies medical reality, denies objective academic truth, and endangers patients, children, and the whole medical profession. If we wish to maintain our status as an advanced and civilized nation, then we must safeguard the medical profession from radical woke ideologies enforced through raw government power. Doctors must be free to follow their medical conscience and to follow the medical science. America First Legal will vigorously, passionately, and relentlessly fight this Biden edict in federal court—and we will fiercely defend the rights of medical professionals and the scientific integrity of medicine itself.

Disney has a ‘not-at-all-secret gay agenda’ and it won’t end well

Christopher Rufo is a man on a mission. In 2020, he declared a “one-man war against critical race theory” — and his efforts have been kindly rewarded.

A “CRT Legislation Tracker“ on his website logs over a hundred bills in dozens of US states aimed at curriculum transparency and the purging of divisive, racialised teaching in schools. Fourteen states have seen successful passage of at least some of these protections.

More dangerously, parents across America have awoken from their slumber, joined Rufo’s cause, and become loud and active at local school board meetings.

So the Walt Disney Company has every reason to tremble now that Rufo’s crosshairs are pointed in its direction.

On Wednesday, Christoper Rufo posted five leaked videos to his Twitter feed revealing top executives and producers discussing the company’s “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” which includes a push towards queerness and quotas for LGBT cartoon characters. He followed it up with an exposé in City Journal.

“Last year, after my report on Disney’s critical race theory training program, Disney quickly deleted it from the company’s internal servers,” he writes. “But executives did not abandon identity politics. In fact, they added another component — gender ideology — and ramped it up.”

The leaked footage discussing Disney’s “gay agenda” did not come from a closed-doors boardroom, but at a company-wide online meeting aimed at appeasing woke employees in the wake of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law being passed earlier this week.

The hot-button legislation simply bans “classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity” in “kindergarten through grade three”. It also requires that any content on such topics be “age-appropriate” for older students.

Nevertheless, Disney has joined the parade of outrage labelling it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, and framing it as an attack on the dignity of LGBT people.

Disney’s “most intersectional employees” were recruited to present at the “Reimagine Tomorrow” meeting, writes Rufo. They included “a ‘black, queer, and trans person,’ a ‘bi-romantic asexual, and ‘the mother [of] one transgender child and one pansexual child’,” he adds.

One presenter was Latoya Raveneau, who has worked in writing, animation and production for several popular children’s TV shows, including Puppy Dog Pals (2017-2019), Rise Up, Sing Out (2022), and The Proud Family (2022).

“Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my not-at-all-secret gay agenda,” Raveneau told meeting attendees. Having grown up “watching all of the classics,” she said she was delighted to discover how much permission was given for “adding queerness” into cartoons, such as having “two [queer] characters kiss in the background”.

Karey Burke, the president of Disney’s general entertainment content and “a mother of two queer children” meanwhile lamented that while Disney has “many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories,” not enough of them play a lead role.

Production coordinator Allen March shared that the team behind the upcoming television series Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur has “been really open to exploring queer stories”. One of his roles was to “put together a tracker of our background characters to make sure that we have the full breadth of expression” of “gender nonconforming characters” in the new show.

A Disney Parks diversity and inclusion manager, Vivian Ware, explained the woke policies being implemented for park visitors in Florida. These include staff no longer calling young girls “princess”, even if they are “presenting as female” — and replacing gendered greetings like “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls” with “friends” or “dreamers of all ages”.

One of the more bizarre moments leaked by Rufo was when an Equality Florida representative addressed LGBT Disney staff. She said the De Santis bill was pushed by people seeking to “erase you, criminalise your existence… [and] demonise who you are” — and that “the next step is to criminalise you and take your kids”.

Safe to say, Disney’s woke capitulation won’t end well — for anyone.

“Executives have empowered activists within the company and now seem unable to resist their demands,” warns Rufo. “Observers should watch Disney closely in the coming years. However the story ends, the company looks like a case study in ideological capture.”

The #BoycottDisney hashtag has seen over 324,000 tweets in recent days.

Disney employees who disagree with the entertainment behemoth’s pivot towards radical sexual politics have written an open letter calling for a politically neutral Disney, and invited staff, shareholders and customers alike to sign it.

The Daily Wire has used the scandal to launch a Disney alternativeDaily Wire Kids, made possible by the conservative outlet’s swollen US$100m annual revenue, as the balkanisation of American culture continues.

Woke staff, media activists, and Disney’s progressive adult audience may see progress. Only the company’s bottom line over coming years will tell the true story.

Our Disastrous Failure to Follow the Science

Anthony Esolen: The Church might join her voice to our cultural madness, except that her divine Founder will not permit her to, despite prelates who worship at the altar of Belial.


Consider these statements:

“The earth revolves around the sun.”
“Women, as a group, do not possess the physical strength to make good soldiers.”
“The earth rotates upon its axis.”
“It is a biological absurdity to pretend that a man can marry a man, or a woman a woman.”
“The tilt of the earth on its axis is responsible for the seasons.”
“A child needs a father and a mother.”
“The orbit of the earth around the sun is an ellipse.  In summer in the northern hemisphere, the earth is at its farthest from the sun.”
“It is wrong to do the child-making act if you are not married and thus prepared to take care of the child, providing him with a well-established family for the rest of his life.”
“Venus shines upon earth in phases, like the moon.”
“Boys naturally gravitate toward rough and sometimes dangerous or destructive play, while girls do not.”

I have heard all my life what a great sinner against the truth and scientific inquiry the Church has been, because she comported herself poorly in the Galileo affair, sentencing that irascible genius to house arrest in a posh villa in Florence.  If anyone has the means, my family and I would be pleased to know which crime against a consensus opinion I must commit to earn a similar sentence.

For the American academy commits more crimes against the truth, and more egregiously, in a single week than the whole Church committed in the entirety of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.  An exaggeration?  Let us think about the matter.

Galileo had no proof for his heliocentric thesis.  One of the arguments he adduced, that the revolution of the earth around the sun was responsible for the tides, was feeble, and the pope’s astronomers knew better.  What Galileo insisted upon could not be seen.

None of the astronomical assertions I have made above is obvious.  Indeed, I have found that very few college students can explain to me why the sun appears, to us northerners, in the southern hemisphere. Or where the sun will be at noon on the equinox, given that they are standing on the earth at a particular latitude. Or what the elliptic orbit has to do with the speed of the earth’s revolution. Or that the earth does not move at a constant speed. Or why Venus shows in phases if you view it in a telescope, but Mars does not. Or what the position of Polaris has to do with where you are, and so on.

They do not know that the main argument against the heliocentric position had to do with parallax – the apparent shift in the relative positions of objects depending upon the angle of your vantage point, so that if the earth moved around the sun, the stars should seem to alter their pattern slightly from spring to autumn, unless those stars were so tremendously far away that the parallax could not be discerned.  Nor was there at that time any clear reason to suppose that the stars were so distant.

But the things I have said regarding men and women, and boys and girls, will lose you your livelihood if you say them almost anywhere in academe in the decadent western world.  Dare anyone deny it?  Those who are angered by what I am saying about current sins against truth will be the first to denounce you and drive you out of the academy if you say them in a classroom, or a faculty lounge, or on social media.  Perhaps you can say them alone in your bathroom, for now.

There is more.  Those things about the sexes were uncontroversial until a few cultural and historical seconds ago. That is because they are immediately obvious. Boys grow to be men, and girls grow to be women.

The boys have bodies that cry out for action and rough play – the metabolism, the endocrine glands, and the musculature determine the direction of play, in boys as in other physical creatures.  The girls have bodies directed toward the bearing and the nurture of children.  Everyone knows it.  That is why it must be energetically and vociferously denied, with obvious and severe punishments for anyone who would deny it.

If a man lies bleeding on the battlefield, the female soldier next to him, except in the rarest of circumstances, will not be able to lift him up and carry him away.  Even if she could, because of an exceedingly lucky combination of a big-boned woman and a man of small stature, he still must pay a price for the absurdity, because another man would be able to carry him more readily and make quicker work of it.

And here we are talking about only one of a thousand ways in which the greater strength of men, and their greater speed afoot, and their more fully oxygenated blood come into play in war.

It is a clown show that a man pretending to be a woman should compete against women in swimming – a sport in which the woman’s greater percentage of body fat makes her naturally more buoyant, so that she has to do less work to move the same weight than the man does. It is a perfect bedlam of drunken raving clowns to send the same women into combat against men; of no military advantage, and a harm to both sexes, not to mention to the unborn children those women may be carrying.

In many places, the Church hangs by a thread of sanity and commitment to the truth.  She would join her voice also to the madness, and cheerfully go on persecuting people who tell the truth, except that her divine Founder will not permit her to, regardless of the superstitions of those prelates who believe that one more round of worshiping at the altar of Belial will bring happiness instead of confusion, cultural decay, infidelity, and death – betraying men and women, and making a holocaust of children.

Abortion and Biden’s SCOTUS Nominee

WATCH: An anti-abortion activist testifies against Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination. Eleanor McCullen, an anti-abortion activist, delivered testimony in opposition of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination, on the final day of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

With a bang of a gavel in 1973, 63 million fellow Americans were condemned to die. And the number keeps growing.

Now if the Senate confirms Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, another pro-abortion justice will be added to the Supreme Court.

Last week, Judge Jackson, nominated by Biden to the Supreme Court, faced four days of hearings in the Senate. South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham raised an intriguing point to her: “Every group that wants to pack the court, that believes the court is a bunch of right-wing nuts who are going to destroy America, that considers the Constitution ‘trash’—all wanted you picked. That is all I can say. That so many of these left-wing radical groups who would destroy the law as we know it…supported you is problematic for me.”

Jon Schweppe of the American Principles Project noted, “On abortion and religious liberty, it’s clear where she stands. Jackson co-authored an amicus brief for the Massachusetts NARAL chapter characterizing pro-life sidewalk counselors as ‘indisputably harmful’ and supporting the notion that they should not be allowed anywhere near an abortion clinic.”

He adds, “Why would leftist groups like American Atheists, the Human Rights Campaign, NARAL, Planned Parenthood, the National Education Association and the Southern Poverty Law Center push the White House to nominate Jackson and the Senate to confirm?….Ketanji Brown Jackson is a woke Trojan horse, as the preponderance of evidence suggests.”

When asked to define what a woman is, Judge Jackson declined, claiming she’s “not a biologist.” When asked when human life begins, she said to Louisiana Senator John Kennedy: “Senator, um… I don’t know.”

Gary Bauer responded to her answer: “Of course, this well-educated, Harvard graduate knows life begins at conception. The problem is that she’s all in on abortion on demand.”

The Supreme Court decisions Roe v. Wade (1973) and Casey v. Planned Parenthood (1992) established by judicial fiat a right to abortion. Thus abortion, said Judge Jackson, is “settled law of the Supreme Court concerning the right to terminate a pregnancy. They established a framework the court has reaffirmed.”

One Constitutional authority had some criticisms of Roe v. Wade as a legal opinion. She said that Roe “tried to do too much, too fast—it essentially made every abortion restriction in the country at the time illegal in one fell swoop—leaving it open to fierce attacks. ‘Doctrinal limbs too swiftly shaped…may prove unstable.’”

Who was this radical anti-abortion activist that would dare criticize the left’s most beloved decision? It was Ruth Bader Ginsburg–before she became a justice on the high court who did everything in her power to preserve Roe v. Wade.

Writing for Lifenews.com, Micaiah Bilger observes that Judge Jackson has called peaceful pro-life sidewalk counselors at abortion clinics “hostile, noisy and in your face” people.

Bilger added, “Jackson has the support of NARAL Pro-Choice America, which advocates for abortions without limits up to birth…She also ruled against the Trump administration’s efforts to defund the billion-dollar abortion chain Planned Parenthood, and she clerked for pro-abortion Justice Stephen Breyer when he issued an opinion against the partial-birth abortion ban.”

I believe abortion is the single most important political issue of our time. It’s not complicated. Abortion takes a human life every time.

When judges rule in favor of abortion, they are playing God. I find it amazing that the left constantly decries bullying, yet they favor abortion rights. What could be more bullying than dismembering a defenseless, unborn child limb by limb because it is perceived as somehow inconvenient?

Some critics on the left, like Bill Maher, say that the only reason conservatives oppose Judge Jackson is because she’s black. But people need to remember that the founder of the nation’s leading abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, was Margaret Sanger, who spoke at a Ku Klux Klan meeting. She wrote a letter to one of her board members (Dr. Clarence J. Gamble, 12/10/1939): “We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.” No wonder the majority of abortion facilities are in urban areas—to this day.

In our nation’s birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, our founders said that our rights come from the Creator—and first among these rights is the “right to life.” Indeed, if you’re dead, how can you enjoy any other right?

The Constitution, which is predicated on the Declaration, notes in the preamble that one of its purposes is: “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” Our posterity? That is, the yet to be born.

To paraphrase Dr. D. James Kennedy, Judge Jackson should get down on her knees and thank God that her mother wasn’t “pro-choice.”

If you get abortion wrong, you tend to get everything else wrong too.

VIDEOS: Warning — Disney Now Adding ‘Queerness’ to It’s Films like ‘Lightyear’

UPDATE: Governor Ron DeSantis questions Disney’s activism against a new law protecting elementary school children:

“To have transgenderism injected into kindergarten classrooms? Or woke gender ideology injected into second grade classrooms? Why is this the hill [for Disney] to die on?”

WATCH: 


Recently four Disney employees were arrested in human trafficking operation.

Now we have Disney corporate president Karey Burke says she supports having “many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories.” And Burke wants 50% of Disney characters to be LGBTQIA and racial minorities.

It also appears that Disney doesn’t care for certain pronouns like: ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls. No know those ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls that go to Disney parks. I wonder if Disney can define what a woman is???

On August 15th, 2021 reported:

Lifelong family-oriented supporters of the Walt Disney Company will be sad to learn that Disney is no ally to traditional social values.  2ndVote currently scores the Walt Disney Company at a measly 1.67 — and we’re not optimistic about that score improving in light of the company’s brainwashing of little children with an episode of their famed Muppet Babies television show promoting gender confusion.

There are several problems with Disney’s decision. First, biologically, there are just two sexes. Second, Disney should focus on wholesome entertainment, not overtly political social activism. Third, Disney has actively engaged on the issue of gender identity in a way which attempted to restrict the rights of millions of Americans.

We’ve been tracking Disney’s actions against traditional American values for years. In 2016, the company stood against North Carolina bill HB2, claiming that allowing business owners to choose their own bathroom policies was bigotry. Disney canceled events, costing local business owners a lot of money. More recently, Disney endorsed the Equality Act – a bill that has nothing to do with equality, and everything to do with pushing a very specific cultural agenda. Religious organizations would be under threat because of the Equality Act – a clear violation of Basic Freedoms found in the First Amendment.

When Disney puts its financial resources behind movements that seek to compel anti-American values, Americans suffer.  These movements are potentially harmful to everything from freedom of speech to religious liberty.  The next time you’re looking to enjoy some family-style entertainment, consider an alternative to Disney which won’t play against your traditional values.

The trick to the entertainment industry is that Hollywood Studios (owned by Disney), Universal Pictures (1.00), Netflix (2.29), and other top entities also rank poorly on the 2ndVote scale. They simply don’t support America’s constitutional and human freedoms of religion, speech, firearms, etc. Therefore, we encourage you to support regional theme parks like Kentucky Kingdom (3.00) and Six Flags (3.00) instead. As for digital entertainment, organizations like PureFlix (3.73) have the kind of wholesome, fun entertainment that Disney used to prioritize. We urge you to spend your hard-earned money with those organizations, and contact Disney and urge them to return to entertainment, not left-wing politics.

Now we learn that the Disney Company has made it their mission to push the radical LGBTQ+ agenda in their films and products.

We have written about how Disney has been grooming your children to be gay. Now we have videos of key Disney staff members discussing “adding queerness” to their films, like “Lightyear.”

reported on Florida’s  “Parental Rights in Education Bill,” which prohibits public schools from indoctrinating children grades K-3 with pro-gay, pro-transgender propaganda:

Disney CEO Bob Chapek initially said his company would not take sides in the [Parental Rights in Education Bill] controversy. Then came the loud, expected rhetoric from the rabid LGBTQ left, with their nasty accusations that Disney was anti-gay and hateful for not vocally opposing the law.

Again, the Florida law is simply designed to protect the youngest grade-school children from being taught lies, such as their birth gender might possibly be a freak of nature and that they can change it.

As a result, Disney quickly abandoned its neutral position for one of total surrender. Chapek apologized to his employees in a letter, telling them, “You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down. I am sorry.”

As a result, and to the delight of homosexual activists everywhere, Disney has announced it will restore a previously cut lesbian kissing scene in its June Pixar release of the kid’s movie “Lightyear.”

Disney doesn’t think you will care, nor does it think Christian parents and grandparents will take a stand for their children and grandchildren. I think you will.

I encourage you to join with me and other parents in telling Disney you’re not buying what they are selling.

Sign our pledge, committing to boycott Disney Pixar’s movie “Lightyear” when it is released in theatres and streaming avenues.

Watch this series of video discussions from Disney’s All-Hands meeting between Disney executive producer Latoya Raveneau, Equality Florida and Disney’s activism partner Nadine Smith:

Here’s a response to all of this insanity from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis:

FDA Tells Doctors in 8 States to Stop Using COVID-19 Treatment

If the FDA and the CDC oppose it then it must work. This is the new science.

FDA Tells Doctors in 8 States to Stop Using COVID-19 Treatment

By;: Zachary Stieber, The Epoch Times, March 27, 2022:

U.S. drug regulators have directed health care workers in eight states to stop using a COVID-19 treatment because it may not be effective against an Omicron coronavirus subvariant that’s rising in prevalence.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said stotrovimab, a monoclonal antibody used to treat COVID-19, can no longer be used in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Providers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands also have been told to stop using stotrovimab.

Regulators believe that the treatment, which was given emergency use authorization in May 2021, “is unlikely to be effective against the BA.2 subvariant,” the FDA said in a statement.

BA.2 is a subvariant of Omicron, a variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, the pathogen that causes COVID-19.

According to genomic surveillance conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, BA.2 was responsible for 12.6 percent of COVID-19 cases in the United States in the week ending on March 5. But the agency projected an increase to 35 percent in the week ending on March 19, and the subvariant was pegged as circulating widely in the northeast.

Based on the estimates, BA.2 is responsible for the majority of the cases in the states where the administration of sotrovimab is now limited.

The FDA had indicated in February that it would limit the treatment.

Several studies have indicated that sotrovimab doesn’t perform well against BA.2, including one published in Nature Medicine.

But GlaxoSmithKline and Vir Biotechnology, the makers of the drug, have said that testing suggested that the treatment retained neutralizing activity against BA.2.

The companies said on March 25 that they were aware of the FDA’s move and are preparing to send a data package to the agency and other regulatory authorities that show a higher dose of sotrovimab works against BA.2……read the rest.

The Great Food Reset: Expect ‘real’ food shortages

The Great Food Reset: Expect ‘real’ food shortages, Biden declares – Meanwhile, Bill Gates & China buy up U.S. farmland.


Climate Depot’s Morano:

“If the Davos crowd of the World Economic Forum were looking for a better global environment on which to enact their central planning vision of a Great Reset, it would be hard to imagine a more conducive chaotic time than right now.”

Watch video: World Economic Forum’s utopian Great Reset vision of 2030 – ‘You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy’ – ‘Whatever you want you’ll rent & it’ll be delivered by drone’ – Meat will be ‘an occasional treat’.

Morano:

“The vision of transforming the world into unelected bureaucrats taking even more control of everyday life, has now all the ingredients to push it along. The last 2 years have seen endless emergency declarations, wars, massive government spending, debt, runaway inflation, supply chain issues, food shortages, no privacy from big-brother style government snooping of your movements, skyrocketing energy prices, chipping away at car and homeownership, climate lockdowns, oppressive censorship and crushing of dissent, limits on freedom of travel, and physical autonomy.

The chaos is music to the ears of those who don’t like the idea or the messiness of human freedom. The World Economic Forum’s vision is to crowd us all in cities, they want to have us own nothing, they want to regulate literally every aspect of our lives. Food shortages are a great way to collapse the current system and install a Great Reset.”

See: “When there is food on the table there are many problems. When there is no food on the table there is one problem.” — Chinese proverb.

Biden Says to Expect ‘Real’ Food Shortages Due to Ukraine War(Bloomberg)
President Joe Biden said that the world will experience food shortages as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and production increases were a subject of discussions at a Group of Seven meeting on Thursday. “It’s going to be real,” Biden said at a news conference in Brussels. “The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.”Michael Shellenberger:

“We are on the brink of global famine due to energy shortages and yet progressive politicians are threatening to tax energy producers and refusing to remove barriers to production. “This graph of skyrocketing fertilizer prices is the scariest chart in the world right now.”

NBC News: Bill Gates ‘the nation’s largest farmland owner’ “Farmers turned into renters” as Bill Gates becomes the “nation’s largest farmland owner” by using “shell companies…a web of at least 22 limited liability shell companies.”

Climate Depot: Could Gates have an agenda?

NBC News: “Gates was also an early investor in fake-meat companies aiming to combat the environmental harms of raising livestock by creating more convincing, plant-based alternatives.”

DeSantis Signs Bill Requiring Transparency From Schools On Reading Materials

There are not enough superlatives to describe Governor DeSantis. He is the best governor in the nation. And it’s not even close. Governor DeSantis is the future of the Republican Party. #DeSantis2022 and #DeSantis2028!

DeSantis Signs Bill Requiring Transparency From Schools On Reading Materials

By Daily Wire, March 25, 2022

On the heels of national outcry over sexually explicit books in school libraries, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Friday requiring schools to be transparent with parents about instructional reading materials.

“In Florida, our parents have every right to be involved in their child’s education,” DeSantis said in a statement. “We are not going to let politicians deny parents the right to know what is being taught in our schools. I’m proud to sign this legislation that ensures curriculum transparency.”

Proof Covid Wasn’t as Bad as It Appeared — How the Pandemic Was Fabricated

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and individual states are now backtracking on their COVID death statistics, showing those of us who claimed deaths were being overcounted were right all along
  • March 14, 2022, the CDC removed 72,277 COVID deaths from the tally, including 24% of those attributed to children under 18. They claim a “coding logic error,” a faulty algorithm, had “accidentally” counted deaths that weren’t related to COVID, such as drowning deaths and drug overdoses
  • The CDC used the false death statistics among children to push for COVID shots for 5- to 7-year-olds back in November 2021
  • As of February 2, 2022, the U.S. Health and Human Services is no longer collecting data on hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19
  • Deaths were initially exaggerated for political — both national and geopolitical — purposes, and now they’re being downplayed for the same reason. Democrats know they cannot win in the midterms unless they declare victory over COVID-19

For the past two years, I and many others have detailed the ways in which COVID-19 deaths have been overcounted to create the illusion of the pandemic being far worse than it actually is.

Now, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and individual states are backtracking on their death statistics, showing we were right all along. Deaths were initially exaggerated for political purposes, and now they’re being downplayed for the same reason.

CDC Removes More Than 72,000 COVID Deaths

As reported by The Defender,1 March 14, 2022, the CDC had removed 72,277 “COVID deaths” from the tally, including 24% of those attributed to children under 18.2,3 They claim a “coding logic error,” a faulty algorithm, had “accidentally” counted deaths that weren’t related to COVID. As reported by Udumbara:4

“Some of the pediatric deaths attributed to COVID-19, according to a search of the CDC’s Wonder system, include deaths where drowning or drug use was listed as the primary cause of death.”

Meanwhile, the CDC used the false death statistics among children to push for COVID shots for 5- to 7-year-olds. In November 2021, CDC director Rochelle Walensky cited that data to justify the recommendation to issue emergency use authorization for the Pfizer shot for this age group.5

Somehow, we’re supposed to believe that it took the CDC two years to realize this error. It’s simply not believable, and The Epoch Times has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for internal communications relating to the data change.6

Ironically, the adjustment comes on the heels of fact-checking articles “debunking” claims that COVID deaths have been overcounted. For example, in early March, Health Feedback claimed there’s “no evidence COVID deaths have been overcounted,” and that “the evidence suggests the opposite.”7 Yet here we are. Deaths were clearly overcounted, not undercounted. That fact check didn’t age well.

CDC Has Been Turned Into a Propaganda Agency

According to Dr. Meryl Nass, a member of the Children’s Health Defense scientific advisory committee, the CDC is cherry-picking data to justify its public health policies, and when it gets caught, it simply blames its “outdated IT systems.” In a March 19, 2022, article, she wrote:8

“CDC is not a public health agency. It is a public propaganda agency that collects a massive amount of data. CDC marshals its huge data library to create presentations that support the current administration’s public health policies …

A 2007 Senate oversight report on the CDC noted the agency spent $106 million on the Thomas R. Harkin Global Communications (and Visitor) Center, and summarized its 115-page report with the following:

‘A review of how an agency tasked with fighting and preventing disease has spent hundreds of millions of tax dollars for failed prevention efforts, international junkets, and lavish facilities, but cannot demonstrate it is controlling disease.’”

Health Officials End Reporting COVID-19 Deaths

Curiously, three months before the CDC started changing its mortality statistics, the U.S. Health and Human Services stopped collecting data on hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 altogether. The HHS announced9 changes to the reporting requirements for hospitals and acute care facilities January 6, 2022. The new guidelines, which took effect February 2, note “The retirement of fields which are no longer required to be reported,” which include the “previous day’s COVID-19 deaths.”

What are they trying to hide? Are they stopping the flow of data to prevent examination and analysis? According to some, the HHS hospital data are among the best we have in the U.S., so ending that data collection doesn’t make sense. January 2021, Alex C. Madrigal, co-founder of the COVID Tracking Project, wrote:10

“In a series of analyses that we ran over the past several months, we came to nearly the opposite conclusion of other media outlets. The hospitalization data coming out of HHS are now the best and most granular publicly available data on the pandemic.”

An unnamed federal health official spoke with a reporter from WSWS,11 calling the move to stop reporting COVID-29 hospital deaths “incomprehensible.” The official added:

“It is the only consistent, reliable and actionable dataset at the federal level. Ninety-nine percent of hospitals report 100% of the data every day. I don’t know any scientists who want to have less data.”

Changing Definitions Justify the COVID Narrative

From the start of the pandemic, changing definitions have allowed authorities to manipulate data in whatever way they needed. Now, states are starting to change the way they define a “COVID death,” resulting in lowered mortality rates. In Massachusetts, for example, COVID deaths dropped by 3,700 after the state changed its definition to be in alignment with that of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists.12

As reported by CBS Boston:13

“The state said currently the COVID death definition includes anyone who has the disease listed as a cause of death on their death certificate. It also includes anyone who had a diagnosis within 60 days but did not have it listed as a cause on their death certificate. Under the new definition, the timeframe is changed to 30 days for people without a COVID diagnosis on their death certificate.”

For the record, counting someone who died of any cause as a COVID death simply because they tested positive within 30 days of their death is still a grossly inaccurate way of determining the true death toll from this virus, because we know PCR tests have a false positive rate of about 97% when run at 35 cycles or greater,14 as was the norm from the start.

Results From At-Home Tests Aren’t Reported

Case counts are also being adjusted downward. In mid-January 2022, the Biden administration started distributing half a billion at-home COVID tests to the American public,15 and the results from those are not being reported anywhere.16 As a result, case counts will be skewed downward. According to 13NewsNow:17

“… the fallibility of case counts is the reason health officials track several COVID-19 metrics, like hospitalizations, deaths, and now, even viral samples in the wastewater18 — metrics that do not necessarily rely on people to go get tested or report the results they get at home.”

And yet the HHS is no longer requiring hospitals to report COVID deaths, which is one of the metrics health officials are supposedly focusing on in lieu of tracking cases. Don’t get me wrong, PCR testing was a scam from the start and I’m not suggesting we should pay much attention to those data. The point here is that the tracking of COVID data has been fatally flawed from the start.

What they’re really trying to do is shift toward passive monitoring, starting with wastewater sampling.19 Eventually, the goal is to monitor every person’s biological processes in real-time, and this is part and parcel of the transhumanist Fourth Industrial Revolution and The Great Reset.

CDC Hides Data

To make matters even murkier, the CDC is also hiding data on COVID hospitalizations and the COVID jab. The stated justification for not making certain data public is that people are “misinterpreting” the data. In other words, the data show that the COVID jabs don’t work, and the CDC doesn’t want that to be widely known.

It has also collected data on the effectiveness of COVID-19 boosters, but for some reason has not included the data for 18- to 49-year-olds in any of its publications. “Coincidentally,” this is “the group least likely to benefit from extra shots,” the Times pointed out, adding:21

“Much of the withheld information could help state and local health officials better target their efforts to bring the virus under control. Detailed, timely data on hospitalizations by age and race would help health officials identify and help the populations at highest risk. Information on hospitalizations and death by age and vaccination status would have helped inform whether healthy adults needed booster shots.”

COVID Has Served a Purely Political Agenda

Over the past two years, the pandemic has been used to usher in a range of radical changes that would never have been accepted were it not for widespread panic. It was used to implement illegitimate voting rules, which appear to have had an impact on the 2020 elections.

It was used to announce the urgent need for a “Great Reset” and a Fourth Industrial Revolution. It’s been used to strip people of basic human rights, and to justify radical environmental policies that will result in lower standards of living.

It was also used to abruptly transition the vaccine industry from conventional vaccine manufacturing using eggs to the use of risky gene transfer technology. The only thing the pandemic has not been used for is to make recommendations that actually improve public health. And throughout, data have been massaged and manipulated to justify the unjustifiable.

Now, it appears data are being manipulated yet again — this time to artificially end the COVID crisis so that the Biden administration can take credit for it during the upcoming elections. As stated in a February 24, 2022, letter from Impact Research, titled “Taking the Win Over COVID-19”:22,23

“It’s time for Democrats to take credit for ending the COVID crisis phase of the COVID war, point to important victories like vaccine distribution and providing economic stability for Americans, and fully enter the rebuilding phase that comes after any war. Below we lay out some strategic thoughts for Democrats positioning themselves on COVID-19 …”

Strategic positioning includes declaring the crisis phase over; pushing for “feeling and acting more normal;” and taking the side of people who are burned out on COVID and don’t want to hear about it anymore. Not setting a standard of zero COVID as the “victory condition,” and to “stop talking about restrictions and the unknown future ahead.”

“If Democrats continue to hold a posture that prioritizes COVID precautions over learning how to live in a world where COVID exists, but does not dominate, they risk paying dearly for it in November,” the letter states.24

Dr. Anthony Fauci perhaps did not receive this memo, as he is out there signaling that we can expect a return to COVID restrictions at any given point. In a mid-March CNN interview, he stated that “we need to be flexible” and “if we see a resurgence, we have to be able to pivot and go back to any degree of mitigation that is commensurate with what the situation is. We can’t just say ‘We’re done, now we’re going to move on.’”

Based on what we’ve seen so far, I wouldn’t be surprised if this “pivot” back into COVID crisis mode were to occur right before the midterm elections.

You Are Now Entering The Theatre of the Absurd

“We have always been at war with reality.” – George Orwell, 1984


Ayn Rand wrote,

The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other – until one day when they are suddenly declared to be the country’s official ideology.

Our contributors, since we began publishing columns, have focused on one thing and one thing only – contesting the uncontested absurdities.

You see these absurdities that have now become public dogma are made up of myths. 

John F. Kennedy said,

The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest, but the myth – persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.”

JFK understood that myths allow many to bathe in the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of critical thought.

We wrote this column after reading some headlines over the past few weeks, that on their face are absurd and are clearly political myths, pushed by the media which have now become public policy.

These myths have been relentlessly repeated so today, and even though these myths are absurd and unrealistic, many believe they’re the truth.

Today’s Uncontested Absurdities

Here is a list of some uncontested absurdities (myths) that have now become public policy:

  1. USA Today fact checkers deny the existence of a woman. USA Today fact check quote, “Marsha Blackburn asked Ketanji Brown Jackson to define ‘woman.’ Science says there’s no simple answer.”
  2. Nancy Pelosi states Biden is  “just perfect.” Pelosi’s exact words,  “Our country could not be more — it could not be better served, than with this most experienced, capable hands than yours, President Biden. He‘s just perfect! The timing couldn’t be better.” Watch this video of The Five discussing Nancy’s just perfect remarks.
  3. NCAA promotion and celebration of a transgender male athlete in women’s sports. Mahri Irvine, the executive director of the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF), said in a statement to The Daily Wire, “We are deeply disappointed by the NCAA’s promotion and celebration of a male athlete over the wellbeing of female athletes during the past few months. Lia Thomas has been portrayed by the NCAA as a woman who legitimately deserves to compete in women’s sports. However, nothing could be further from the truth.” Read more.
  4. A Wisconsin school district says parents ‘not entitled’ to know child’s sexuality. A school district in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, has become the center of a parent-teacher firestorm after leaked documents revealed instructors told parents they must “earn” the right to know their children’s sexual identity, and showed the school pushed a “heterosexual privilege” checklist. The district’s aggressive push for “gender-nonconforming” accommodations has irked parents and educators who say the school’s training and policy changes surrounding the issue have gone too far. “The actions of the Eau Claire Area School District are not only dangerous to the mental, emotional and physical health of its students, but they also violate the constitutional rights of parents to make choices about their family life and upbringing of their children,” said Ian Prior, senior adviser at America First Legal and creator of the Fight for Schools PAC.
  5. Justice correspondent for The Nation Elie Mystal states “The Constitution is kind of trash.” This was not a momentary aberration. On another outlet, a reporter asked him, “[A]re you arguing that the Constitution needs to be scrapped altogether?” He replied: “Sure…But, I don’t think that’s going to happen. Like, if we could throw that out and start over with a new document that was more inclusive of everybody, that was written by everybody—at no point have black people, brown people or women had a say in actually writing the Constitution or the amendments to that Constitution—if we could throw that out and have a delegation of all Americans to write a new one, I would be all for that.” Mystal also tweeted that he was proud to trigger “white wing media this morning by noting that their slaver’s organizing document is trash.”
  6. Twitter Deplatforms The Babylon Bee for telling a joke. Twitter denied the Christian satire site The Babylon Bee’s appeal on Wednesday after it had its account locked down over a joke calling transgender HHS assistant secretary Dr. Rachel Levine a “man.” “Twitter has denied The Babylon Bee’s appeal. They wrote, ‘Our support team has determined that a violation did take place, and therefore we will not overturn our decision,’” Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon announced on Wednesday, March 23rd. The Babylon Bee’s unforgivable offense was to post an article on Sunday mocking USA Today for recently declaring the biological male Rachel Levine a “woman of the year.” “The Babylon Bee’s Man of the Year is Rachel Levine,” read the headline.

  8. HHS Secretary Becerra Promotes Critical Race Theory-Based ‘Health Equity’ as Top Priority. During an address on Friday, March 22nd, marking the dubious milestone of his first year in office, Health and Human Services (HHS) Sec. Xavier Becerra identified “health equity” as his department’s top priority. “Health equity has to be part of everything we do,” Becerra said. “You will see health equity pervades everything we do.” You will recall that “equity” is not the same as “equality.” Equality is by definition anti-discrimination. Equity is discrimination — present discrimination against the white power structure in retaliation for past discrimination. Health equity operates under the assumption that the medical profession has been historically racist, and that health care needs to be “relearned” in order to “center on” black lives. The American Medical Association (AMA) issued a 54-page manifesto called “Advancing Health Equity” which teaches medical professionals how to agitate toward critical race theory-centric policies and practices.
  9. INFANTICIDE: Democrats Propose Law That Would Allow BABIES TO BE KILLED Up to 28 days After Birth. Maryland Senate Bill 669 could be interpreted to allow for infanticide through the first month after the baby is born, a legal analyst says. Legislation proposed in the Maryland Senate would allow babies to be left to die for as long as the first 28 days after birth, according to analysis from a pro-life attorney. Senate Bill 669 is also known as the Pregnant Person’s Freedom Act of 2022, but the problems go beyond the use of “person” in place of accurate references to women having babies. Senator William Smith, a Democrat, sponsored the legislation, which will have a hearing on March 15. Read more.

The Bottom Line

Seven years ago we the people would have found it absurd that a political candidate for president would pay the Russians to create a dossier on their opponent and, with the help of the FBI and DOJ, use it to spy on subject candidate and continue to spy on him after his inauguration as President. None would have believed that the son of a life-long politician, who is now the sitting president, would be drug-addicted, into child pornography, have sex with underaged children, deal with companies that created chemical and biological weapons for the U.S. government and then leave his laptop with all of this information on it at a computer repair shop. It would be absurd to have a major company like Apple create a pregnant man and pregnant person emojis for their iPhones, iPads and computers. It would be unheard of for a female U.S. Senator to ask a female nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States to define what is a woman and that person can’t or won’t respond.

We are now in officially in the theatre of the absurd. What is dangerous and deadly is that these absurdities (myths) are now public policy.

Since the election of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. we have seen absurdities on steroids. They’re going full speed ahead to implement the myths of climate change, vaccine mandates, mask mandates, health mandates, regulating what kind of cars and trucks Americans can buy and taking away our capitalist markets and turning them into Marxist centralized bureaucratic control from Washington,D.C.

Finally, Democrats, Biden, Schumer and Pelosi are delusional and to date refuse to take responsibility for what is happening domestically and globally.

They blame Putin for high energy prices when the energy prices rose well before any invasion of the Ukraine. They blame the unvaccinated for spreading Covid, when data shows the vaccinated are more likely to become infected with Covid even after three booster shots and 9 times more likely to get Covid and spread it than the unvaxxed.

It’s these absurd myths that are killing the American dream. Prove us wrong.

Wisconsin school district says parents ‘not entitled’ to know child’s sexuality

It’s the end of the world as we know it.

Any parent who delivers their child in the claws of a government school is ….. unfit.

WI school district says parents ‘not entitled’ to know child’s sexuality, pushes ‘heterosexual privilege’ list

District’s push for ‘gender-nonconforming’ accommodations has irked parents and educators

By Timothy H.J. Nerozzi | Fox News March 22, 2022;

A school district in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, has become the center of a parent-teacher firestorm after leaked documents revealed instructors told parents they must “earn” the right to know their children’s sexual identity, and showed the school pushed a “heterosexual privilege” checklist.

The district’s aggressive push for “gender-nonconforming” accommodations has irked parents and educators who say the school’s training and policy changes surrounding the issue have gone too far.

“The actions of the Eau Claire Area School District are not only dangerous to the mental, emotional and physical health of its students, but they also violate the constitutional rights of parents to make choices about their family life and upbringing of their children,” said Ian Prior, senior adviser at America First Legal and creator of the Fight for Schools PAC.

Of particular scorn in the district’s guidance was a slide stating, “Some transgender, non-binary, and/or gender-nonconforming students are not ‘open’ at home for reasons that may include safety concerns or lack of acceptance. School personnel should speak with the student first before discussing a student’s gender nonconformity or transgender status with the student’s parent/guardian.”

Groups of parents expressed outrage at the notion they had to earn access to their children’s information.

“Remember, parents are not entitled to know their kids’ identities. That knowledge must be earned,” a training slideshow for the Eau Claire School District told school staff.

USA Today Fact Checkers Disprove Existence of Women

To paraphrase 1984, “We have always been at war with reality.”

Or to just quote USA Today, “Marsha Blackburn asked Ketanji Brown Jackson to define ‘woman.’ Science says there’s no simple answer.”

A good rule of thumb for testing to see if you and your movement have gone completely insane is if you imagine emailing a link to a story 5 years into the past to the past and trying to imagine if your past self would believe that this was anything other than a hoax.

Show that one to a lefty 10 years ago and he would be pretty sure some right-wingers made it up. Of course now everyone has to fall in line with the current insanity.

“Science says that the sun revolves around the earth.”

“Science says ghosts are real and really racist.”

“Science says UFOs are homophobic.”

There’s a point here, beyond dismantling biology, the human family, and society. It’s also about dismantling reality. Back to 1984.

“But I tell you, Winston, that reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the Party holds to be the truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party.”

The Party has that women don’t exist. Only birthing people or bleeders. And you must conform to this reality because it shows you are submitting to the Party. If the Party can make you believe women don’t exist, they can make you believe anything.

Like 2 + 2 = 5.

O’Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended.

‘How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?’

‘Four.’

‘And if the party says that it is not four but five — then how many?’

‘Four.’

The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston’s body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O’Brien watched him, the four fingers still extended. He drew back the lever. This time the pain was only slightly eased.

‘How many fingers, Winston?’

‘Four.’

The needle went up to sixty.

‘How many fingers, Winston?’

‘Four! Four! What else can I say? Four!’

USA Today – “Marsha Blackburn asked Ketanji Brown Jackson what 2 + 2 equals.’ Science says there’s no simple answer.”
