The sheer insanity of the 'transgender' fad | The Bridgehead
The sheer insanity of the 'transgender' fad | The Bridgehead"Feminism rebelled against reality.
Transgenderism seeks to abolish it entirely.
But the feminists and the gender ideologues are beginning to realize that their worldviews don’t line up very nicely.
It seems as if our culture doesn’t quite understand just how radical the transgender fad actually is—or how genuinely insulting it is to women.
When debates fired up across social media over whether or not a certain man who began identifying as a woman could be called a woman about a year ago, I remember one comment in particular.
An angry woman demanded to know if a man in a dress – or even a man with a sex change – could understand menstrual cramps, pregnancy, or dozens of other things women experience.
The answer, of course, was no.
But the woman was pronounced a transphobe anyway, for not affirming that a cross-dresser was just like her..."

Black Lawmakers’ Charity Didn’t Give Out A Single Scholarship, Top Pols Hide Financials | The Daily Caller
"The caucus of black New York state lawmakers runs a charity whose stated mission is to empower “African American and Latino youth through education and leadership initiatives” by “providing opportunity to higher education” — but it hasn’t given a single scholarship to needy youth in two years, according to a New York Post investigation.
The group collects money from companies like AT&T, the Real Estate Board of New York, Time Warner Cable and CableVision, telling them in promotional materials that they are “changing lives, one scholarship at a time.”..."

Left uses banks, credit cards to enforce its agenda - WND
Left uses banks, credit cards to enforce its agenda - WND:
Times financial columnist and CNBC anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin is at it again in his crusade to have banks and credit card companies enforce his leftist agenda.
Following the Parkland, Florida high school shooting, Sorkin opined the financial industry – not cops, courts and legislatures – could “reduce gun violence.” This echoed leftist calls to boycott businesses associated with the NRA.
Unable to pass laws to their liking, liberals turn to corporations to impose their views on the rest of us.

The Ugly American-----AP Investigation: Food aid stolen as Yemen starves
AP Investigation: Food aid stolen as Yemen starves
"TAIZ, Yemen (AP) — ...Billions of dollars in food and other foreign aid was coming into his war-ravaged homeland, but millions of Yemenis were still living a step away from famine.
Reports of organizational disarray and out-and-out thievery streamed in to him this spring and summer from around Taiz — 5,000 sacks of rice doled out without record of where they’d gone . . . 705 food baskets looted from a welfare agency’s warehouses . . . 110 sacks of grain pillaged from trucks trying to make their way through the craggy northern highlands overlooking the city.
Food donations, it was clear, were being snatched from the starving.
...Across Yemen, factions and militias on all sides of the conflict have blocked food aid from going to groups suspected of disloyalty, diverted it to front-line combat units or sold it for profit on the black market..."

It’s Past Time for Trump to Take Control of US International Broadcasting
"Without fail, every time a Trump nominee gets closer to a Senate confirmation hearing to head the International Broadcasting Bureau, the media pounces and sounds the alarm.
The most recent case in point is a New York Times article dated Dec. 12 and headlined, “Troubled by Lapses, Government’s Voice to the World Braces for New Trump Management.” The article details abuses and incompetence at the Office of Cuba Broadcasting—a sister agency to Voice of America—as well as at the Mandarin and Nigerian services.
...The delay in getting President Donald Trump’s appointees into the leadership of U.S. broadcasting has allowed his critics to marshal their forces.
A bill sponsored by Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Bob Menendez, D-N.J., to strip Trump appointees of the power to hire or fire personnel was rushed through the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee in late November.
The measure would entirely undermine recent efforts at improving the troubled agency.
...In a tweet on Nov. 26, Trump mused that “While CNN doesn’t do great in the United States based on ratings, outside of the U.S. they have very little competition. Throughout the world, CNN has a powerful voice portraying the United States in an unfair and false way. Something has to be done, including the possibility of the United States starting our own Worldwide Network to show the World the way we really are, GREAT!”..."

Whether Trump was even aware of existing U.S. government broadcasting is unclear.
Losing no time to react, Bennett, director of Voice of America, rushed forward with a spirited defense of her network, writing in The Washington Post, “We think our credibility is rooted in the interpretation of the second half of Trump’s proposal. We, too, think our job is to show our country as it really is—through journalism based on fact.”
While Trump’s tweet appears to confirm fears that he would turn Voice of America and the other broadcasting agencies into propaganda arms, reality has been far different during his two years in office.
If anything, the White House has been MIA and has treated the U.S. government’s broadcasters with profound indifference. The White House has made minimal effort to put in place its own political appointees and to direct the much-needed reforms passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in December 2016. Even Hillary Clinton in congressional testimony described U.S. international broadcasting as “defunct.”

Trump Digs Up Old Obama Quote To Mercilessly Troll Democrats
Trump Digs Up Old Obama Quote To Mercilessly Troll Democrats:
If there are three words I love that some Republicans don’t, it’s “owning the libs.” Yes, it can be somewhat juvenile at times, but there’s nothing quite as rewarding on occasion as a good lib own.
That doesn’t mean you have to lower your intellectual or moral standards, mind you. It just means that sometimes, ownership of the left side of the aisle can be both entertaining and rewarding.
And if there are three words I love that some (well, most) Obamas don’t, they were these: “I totally agree!”

"According to this university educator, "white supremacy is the accumulation of these aggressive messages that say 'stay off the grass,' 'mow your lawn,' 'act respectable,' 'pull your pants up,'"
Earlier this month, a university educator told the Madison Board of Education why things like civility, time limits and mowing your lawn indicates you are racist.
The University of Wisconsin - Madison "educator" said that she teaches her students the alleged "connection" between white liberalism and white supremacy.
In doing so, she sought to provide "working definitions."
...Some of what she claims is white liberalism are things like a "timer" and the calls to "please finish up" when someone's time is up.
Other things include numbers, the sign up process, the stage, the barrier.

“I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!” he added.
Trump was referring to the large barrier the Obamas erected around the Northwest D.C. house they purchased after leaving the White House.
In May 2017, crews completed the brick and metal wall surrounding his home in the tony Kalorama neighborhood.

Quality civil "servants"-----Couple seeking marriage license forced to prove New Mexico is a state
Couple seeking marriage license forced to prove New Mexico is a state
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Gavin Clarkson, a recent candidate for New Mexico secretary of state, experienced a one-of-our-50-states-is-missing moment earlier this month when applying for a marriage license in the nation's capital.
Clarkson, who lives in Las Cruces, and his then-fiancée visited the District of Columbia Courts Marriage Bureau on Nov. 20 to apply for a marriage license.
But, once there, the couple encountered a small problem, Clarkson said.
The clerk wouldn't accept Clarkson's driver's license – from New Mexico – as proof of his identity.
Rather, the clerk, who mistakenly believed Clarkson was a foreign citizen, said he would have to provide an international passport to get the marriage license.
After Clarkson objected, the clerk went to check with a supervisor, who confirmed Clarkson would need a passport..."
