DeSantis Supports Transgender Surgery Ban for Kids

Ron DeSantis, in supporting a ban on transgender surgery for children, said, “When they say ‘gender-affirming care,’ what they mean a lot of times is you are really, you’re castrating a young boy, you’re sterilizing a young girl, you’re doing mastectomies for these very young girls.”

Excerpt:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would support banning child sex-change operations in Florida in a Monday podcast interview on “The Truth With Lisa Boothe.”

DeSantis, a Republican, said it was unhealthy to let children permanently alter their bodies through operations such as mastectomies and castration, and that there appeared to be an organized effort to push children into these extreme forms of medical intervention. He said he would support a bill banning those procedures for children.

“Yeah, I would ban the sex change – the operations,” DeSantis told Boothe. “I think that it’s something that you can’t get a tattoo if you’re 12 years old. When they say ‘gender-affirming care,’ what they mean a lot of times is you are really, you’re castrating a young boy, you’re sterilizing a young girl, you’re doing mastectomies for these very young girls.”

SCOTUS Favors Christian Flag Over Boston City Hall

Freedomist Curator May 3, 2022

The Supreme Court has ruled that Boston’s efforts to block a Christian group from flying a Christian flag while allowing other private groups to raise their flags on a public community flagpole was a violation of that group’s first amendment rights.

Supreme Court says Boston violated First Amendment rights of group seeking to raise Christian flag outside City Hall

Excerpt:

The court said that the flag display amounted to a public forum, and because many other groups were allowed to raise their flags in celebration of the Boston community, the city could not discriminate on the basis of the religious group’s viewpoint without violating the Constitution.

“We conclude that, on balance, Boston did not make the raising and flying of private groups’ flags a form of government speech,” Justice Stephen Breyer wrote.

The case was filed in 2018 after a Boston official denied the application by the group Camp Constitution to raise a flag — described as “Christian” in the application — on one of the three flagpoles outside Boston’s city hall. The group is an all-volunteer association that seeks to “enhance understanding of the country’s Judeo-Christian moral heritage.”

Central to the case was whether the flagpole is perceived as an example of government speech. If so, the city has a right to limit displays without violating free speech principles. The Free Speech Clause of the Constitution restricts government regulation of private speech, it does not regulate government speech. But if, on the other hand, the display amounts to private speech, in a government-created forum where others are invited to express their views, the government cannot discriminate based on the viewpoint of one of the speakers.

Disney’s Mouse Gets Copyright Target from GOP

Ivo Fysic May 3, 2022

GOP Senator Josh Hawley is researching what can be done with copyright licensing of “Woke” companies like Disney, or, what we would call Woketarian, a very specific version of social justice the corporations have adopted. Disney’s Mouse is in the crosshairs of this de facto civil war.

Hawley to introduce legislation targeting Disney copyright protections

Excerpt:

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said he plans to file legislation this week targeting the copyright protections of Disney and “woke corporations.”

Hawley made the announcement in a Monday afternoon tweet, although he didn’t provide details about what the legislation would entail. Other Republican lawmakers have previously suggested that they might try to use an expiring copyright on Mickey Mouse to punish Disney for its opposition to a controversial Florida education bill.

“For years, @Disney has gotten special copyright protections from the federal government — allowing them to charge consumers more. Woke corporations shouldn’t get sweetheart deals. I’ll introduce legislation this week to end their special protections — enough is enough,” the senator wrote.

4-Year Olds Learn to Become Anti-Racist Crusadors from Public School

Ivo Fysic May 3, 2022

A DC Elementary school chose to walk their 4-year olds through an anti-racist book that trained them to be anti-racist fighters, willing to turn on family and friends that say anything or do anything racist.

DC elementary school gave 4-year-olds ‘anti-racism’ ‘fistbook’ asking them to identify racist family members

From www.foxnews.com

Excerpt:

A public elementary school in Washington, D.C., gave children as young as 4 a lesson on “anti-racism” that asked them to identify racist members of their family.

According to a Nov. 30 letter from Janney Elementary School Principal Danielle Singh, students in Pre-K through 3rd grade participated in an “Anti-Racism Fight Club” presentation by speaker Doyin Richards.

“As part of this work, each student has a fist book to help continue the dialogue at school and home,” Singh’s letter stated, linking to Richards’ presentation. “We recognize that any time we engage topics such as race and equity, we may experience a variety of emotions. This is a normal part of the learning and growing process. As a school community we want to continue the dialogue with our students and understand this is just the beginning.”

Richards’ “Anti-Racism Fight Club Fistbook for Kids” explains that “white people are a part of a society that benefits them in almost every instance,” and that “it’s as if white people walk around with an invisible force field because they hold all of the power in America.”

“If you are a white person, white privilege is something you were born with and it simply means that your life is not more difficult due to the color of your skin,” the “Fistbook for Kids” explains. “Put differently, it’s not your fault for having white privilege, but it is your fault if you choose to ignore it.”

The “Fistbook for Kids” says anti-racism “isn’t a spectator sport” but requires “being loud, uncomfortable, confrontational and visible to ensure change is made.”

As DNC Goes Anti-Israel, Antisemitism Rises in Blue States

Antisemitic incidents spiked during Squad’s anti-Israel rhetoric, blue states at top of list

Excerpt:

Antisemitic incidents spiked last year around the same time members of the progressive “Squad” were ramping up anti-Israel rhetoric, with blue states being the hardest hit by the surge.

The Anti-Defamation League’s annual report on antisemitic incidents observed a surge in incidents in May of last year, coinciding with anti-Israel rhetoric from members of the Squad that were strongly condemned by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., last may.

The report noted that the surge in antisemitic incidents also coincided with Israel’s military conflict with Hamas around the same time period.

“For the entire month, 387 antisemitic incidents were tabulated by the ADL, 297 of which occurred between May 10 — the official start of military action — and the end of the month, an increase of 141% over the same period in 2020,” the report said. ” Of the 297 incidents, there were 211 cases of harassment, 71 cases of vandalism and 15 assaults.”

VLADIMIR Putin faces cancer surgery and will hand power to his shadowy spy chief, a Kremlin insider has claimed.

Putin’s health has been a source of speculation amid reports he is battling abdominal cancer and Parkinson’s Disease.

But now it has been reported the Russian leader, 69, could go under the knife with power switched to hardliner Nikolai Patrushev, 70, who is a key architect of the war strategy and the man who convinced Putin that Kyiv was awash with neo-Nazis.

Meanwhile, there are fears that Putin will soon declare a full-scale world war in “payback” after Ukraine continues to stall the advance of Russian troops.

Kremlin-controlled media has been careful not to refer to the invasion as a war – instead reffering to the conflict as a “special operation”.

According to The Telegraph, a source close to military officials said: “The military is outraged that the blitz on Kyiv has failed. People in the army are seeking payback for failures of the past and they want to go…

Following the Walt Disney Company’s public condemnation of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill — officially titled the Parental Rights in Education Act — Republicans from Florida and across the nation have retaliated against the Walt Disney Company and Disney theme parks. Most notably, the Florida legislature recently passed a bill to dissolve the Reedy Creek Improvement District — the special district established around Walt Disney World that allows them to fund and operate their own municipal services like fire prevention, water, roads, etc.

Now, Congressman Troy Nehls (R) of Texas’ 22nd Congressional District has begun advocating for the removal of “No-Fly Zones” over Walt Disney World and Disneyland — the only two theme parks in the country with such restrictions.

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) invited Jeff Bezos to testify at a hearing about Amazon’s anti-union activities.

The office of Chairman Sanders said in a press release about the hearing:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, announced Monday that the committee will hold a hearing Thursday, May 5, at 11:00 a.m. titled “Should Taxpayer Dollars Go to Companies that Violate Labor Laws?”

However, nearly 30 percent of the top 200 violators of workplace safety and wage theft are government contractors. Between 2014 and 2019, federal contractors were required to pay nearly $225 million in back wages to workers for Service Contract Act violations.

Ministry of Disinfo Won’t Track US Citizens, We Swear

Paul Collier May 2, 2022

Having chosen the queen of disinformation, Nina Jankowicz, to be the Czar of determining exactly what disinformation is, the Biden-appointed head of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, wants to reassure you the American people that this whole disinformation board thing has NOTHING to do with American citizens, nothing whatsoever.

The queen of the Russia Hoax lie herself, Nina Jankowicz, is the head of the President-formed “Disinformation Governance Board,” but we the American people can be assured that the same party that illegally and unaccountably used secret FISA courts to wiretap a Presidential candidate, and later President-elect, will respect the ostensible boundaries of a department not intended to spy on Americans when it was formed.

If you remember, the DHS was formed shortly after 911, allegedly to facilitate communications between the various intelligence departments. Since then, it’s become increasingly focused on ‘domestic terrorism,’ and, no doubt, this ‘disinformation board’ will follow the same pattern the department itself set.

We can all be reassured that the department is working on our behalf to protect us from potential thoughts, ideas, information that might be outside the official party line. If we can control the narrative, we can make what it whatever we say it is.

This seems all too familiar, and usually leads to very dark places. Let us hope this experiment in anti-Americanism comes to an end peacefully sooner rather than later.

Mayorkas says disinformation board won’t track US citizens

Excerpt:

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed Sunday that his department’s Orwellian “Disinformation Governance Board” will not monitor US citizens — and vouched for the “eminently qualified” agency czar who has been blasted by critics for being too partisan.

Mayorkas defended Nina Jankowicz amid questions from conservatives over her ability to ferret out disinformation when she doubted the credibility of The Post’s series of reports in October 2020 about Hunter Biden’s laptop — information that has since been confirmed by other newspapers and media outlets.

Jankowicz was also mocked when a wacky TikTok video surfaced of her singing a rendition of the Mary Poppins tune “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to address the spread of disinformation.

Mayorkas praised Jankowicz on CNN as “eminently qualified” and a “renowned expert in the field of disinformation.”
