Planned Parenthood: Teach your preschoolers 'their genitals don’t determine their gender' | Fox News "Apparently children as young as 4 are not too young to be told that gender and sex are different and that their genitals don't indicate their gender, according tonew Planned Parenthood guidelines for parents. On a page of its website titled “How do I talk with my preschooler about their body?” the abortion provider says if a child inquires why boys and girls have different bodies, a parent should introduce the concept of transgender identity. “While the most simple answer is that girls have vulvas and boys have penises/testicles, that answer isn’t true for every boy and girl,” the organization says. “Boy, girl, man and woman are words that describe gender identity, and some people with the gender identities ‘boy’ or ‘man’ have vulvas, and some with the gender identity ‘girl’ or ‘woman’ have penises/testicles. Your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl.”
Planned Parenthood thinks parents should point out to their child that genitals do not definitively establish gender, and that their children can make that decision based on your values and how you plan to talk with your kid about gender as they grow up. (Reuters)
Fentanyl is remaking the Mexican drug trade and taking American lives - Los Angeles Times
"...Several months earlier, a friend had given Parker a baby-blue pill that was stamped on one side with the letter M.
It resembled a well-known brand of oxycodone, the prescription painkiller that sparked the American opioid epidemic.
But the pill was actually a far more powerful and more addictive opioid: fentanyl.
Within weeks, Parker was crushing and freebasing up to eight pills a day.
Developed decades ago as a painkiller of last resort, fentanyl has surpassed heroin and prescription pills to become the leading driver of the opioid crisis and is now the top cause of U.S. overdose deaths.
...Fentanyl started appearing on U.S. streets in significant quantities in 2013, most of it produced in China and shipped in the mail..." Read all

He was convicted of one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Thursday that he doesn’t owe former FBI director James Comey an apology, noting that Comey “owes the whole country” one.
Jordan has been an open critic of Comey, saying in 2018 that Comey thinks “the rules don’t apply to him.” Comey was fired as FBI director May 9, 2017, and allegedly gave four memos to personal attorneys afterward.
“While carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been increasing over the past 100 years, there is no evidence that it is causing an increase in global temperatures.”
And “global temperature measurements of the Earth's lower atmosphere obtained from satellites revealed no definitive warming trend over the past two decades.
In fact, the trend appeared to be a decrease in actual temperature.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Tuesday called for the United Nations to handle the migrant crisis plaguing the U.S.-Mexico border, claiming the Trump administration’s immigration policies are costingthe country its “moral high ground.”
“We should do what any other country does, by dealing with this situation in a serious way,” Omar told an audience in Minneapolis, according to the Star Tribune. “So we have to bring in the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees – an agency that has the expertise and the training to handle massive flows of refugees humanely.”
CATASTROPHIC GLOBAL WARMING IS A FALSE CRISIS – THE NEXT GREAT EXTINCTION WILL BE GLOBAL COOLING
"Forget all those falsehoods about scary global warming, deceptions contrived by wolves to stampede the sheep.
The next great extinction event will not be global warming, it will be global cooling.
Future extinction events are preponderantly cold: a glacial period, medium-size asteroid strike or supervolcano.
Humanity barely survived the last glacial period that ended only 11,500 years ago, the blink-of–an-eye in geologic time.
Cold, not heat, is by far the greater killer of humanity.
Today, cool and cold weather kills about 20 times as many people as warm and hot weather.
Excess Winter Deaths, defined as more deaths in the four winter months than equivalent non-winter months, total over two million souls per year, in both cold and warm climates.
Earth is colder-than-optimum for humanity, and currently-observed moderate global warming increases life spans...
...Earth is now 11,500 years into the current warm interglacial, and our planet may re-enter the glacial period at any time. “Glacial-Interglacial Cycles”..."

Planned Parenthood ‘Grooms’ Girls For Abortions Using Sex Ed, Former Sex Educator Says | The Daily Caller:
Former sex educator Monica Cline said Planned Parenthood pushes sex education that “grooms” children for promiscuity and leads to abortion.
Cline worked as a sexual health education instructor in collaboration with Planned Parenthood in Texas for ten years, she told the Daily Caller News Foundation. She started out as an HIV prevention educator in 1997 with ALLGO, an organization focused on gay people of color in Austin, Texas.
He walked into a Virginia Beach 7-Eleven for a Big Gulp. He ended up shooting 2 robbers, killing 1. - The Virginian-Pilot "It had already been a long and emotional day for the Virginia Beach man when he walked into a 7-Eleven store to buy a Big Gulp. ...“I look down and I’ve got a pink drink with something orangish-red in there. Then I look up and there are two guys pretty much standing on top of each other with two guns pointed in my face.” ...While the robbers focused on the cash and the clerk, the man touched the 9 mm handgun hidden in a holster under his T-shirt with his pinkie. No one noticed. He knew he had about 10 rounds in the clip. As he stood there, still clutching his Big Gulp and occasionally taking a sip, the man now found himself facing a tough decision: Should he draw the gun? He ran through the possible consequences: Will I go to jail? Do I have a clear enough shot that no one else will get hurt? Is anyone else in the store? Will someone else pop in? If I don’t do it, is the clerk or someone else going to get shot? “I’m thinking about all of that and at the same time thinking, you’re supposed to have the right to bear arms, the right to protect yourself, the right to protect others if need be,” he said. “I’m like 'Man, you say you believe in the Second Amendment. You say you believe in America. You know God’s got you.'” ...He is, however, experienced with guns and has had a concealed handgun permit since he was 21. He enjoys going to a shooting range a couple of times a week and believes all gun owners should be properly trained. ..You just told these people to call the cops and they’re coming. You got to stand here and wait for them. Of course, you can’t be standing here with a gun in your hand. You’re a black man with a gun. You’ll probably get shot...” Read all.
A new study has found US men appear to be following Mike Pence’s lead.
Maybe they’re angry that #MeToo ever happened
It’s yet another form of victim-blaming; another way to quietly put women back in their place. Photograph: Bert Hardy Advertising Archive/Getty Images "It looks like Mike Pence is quite the trendsetter. The US vice-president famously refuses to have dinner alone with any woman who isn’t his wife – and now working men across corporate America appear to be following his lead. A new study, due to be published in the journal Organizational Dynamics, has found that, following the #MeToo movement, men are significantly more reluctant to interact with their female colleagues. A few highlights from the research include: • 27% of men avoid one-on-one meetings with female co-workers. Yep, that’s right, almost a third of men are terrified to be alone in a room with a woman. ...most men are perfectly aware of the difference between a friendly hug and a creepy hug. They are perfectly aware of what constitutes harassment and what doesn’t. Which makes you wonder why so many men are afraid to interact with women at work? The answer to that question, perhaps, is that a lot of men aren’t so much afraid of being accused of anything as they are they are angry that #MeToo ever happened. They’re angry that they’ve been made to think about their behavior, made to interrogate power dynamics they always took for granted, and they are punishing women for it by refusing to interact with them. It’s worth noting, I think, that the Harvard Business Review article previewing the study’s 2019 results is headlined The #MeToo Backlash. You see that phrase a lot and that framing subtly implies that #MeToo went too far, that a backlash is only natural. It’s yet another form of victim-blaming; another way to quietly put women back in their place."
DNC Resolution Celebrates Democrats’ ‘Largest Religious Group’ — And It’s Not Christians | The Daily Caller:
