One of the biggest problems with the Trump-hating media spewing its propaganda against President Donald Trump is that there are too many simple-minded folks in the U.S. who actually believe the rubbish.

Rubbish such as the insinuation that if you support secure borders and the rule of law, and don't want migrants by the thousands flowing into the country unchecked, then you hate brown people, which is the media-inspired stigma attached to every red MAGA hat in America.

The latest example of low-information liberals reacting to what they see on MSNBC and CNN was seen in a Palo Alto, Calif., Starbucks, where a woman with an affinity for Mohawks took to Facebook to boast about confronting an elderly man wearing a MAGA hat.

Comment: It's unlikely to dissuade anyone from anything. The left is currently so unhinged that they think it's acceptable behavior to scream at and harass an elderly man in public because he's wearing the wrong kind of hat. And this is just one in a long line of incidents involving people in MAGA hats being harassed. You can't reason with these people and even the publicized consequences of their actions are unlikely to deter others in their tribe from doing the same.

Saudi Arabia has arrested nine women's rights activists, two of whom are US citizens, in its latest crackdown on dissent. They are reportedly not frontline activists, but merely expressed support for reforms.

The seven men and two women arrested Thursday are journalists and academics who had connections to the 11 women's rights activists detained last spring on the eve of major women's rights reforms in the Arab country, but it's not yet known what they've been charged with.

Salah al-Haider and Bader el-Ibrahim hold dual citizenship with Saudi Arabia and the United States, the New York Times noted. In addition, one of the two women is pregnant, according to London-based Saudi human rights group ALQST, which confirmed the identities of all those detained to the Times.

LOL! Meat alternatives renamed 'veggie discs' and 'veggie tubes' under proposed new EU food labelling rules

veggie burger disc


A committee of MEPs has voted in favour of the proposed regulations

Veggie burgers could be rebranded "veggie discs" and vegetarian sausages turned into "veggie tubes" under new EU rules proposed in Brussels.

The latest round of food labelling regulations approved by the EU parliament's agriculture committee this week would ban the use of terms such as "burger", "sausage", "escalope" and "steak" for products that do not contain meat.

Some MEPs believe the plan bears the fingerprints of Europe's powerful meat lobby, keen to protect its profits and crush a trend towards veganism and vegetarianism among young people.

Comment: Rather than fault the meat industry as the bad guys for making the vegans change the names of their products, this should be re-framed. It's forcing people who are selling non-food and naming it food to be more honest about their products. A tube of manipulated plant ingredients and flavoring chemicals is not a sausage; nor is it a hotdog. Even calling it a 'veggie tube' is being generous. Why don't these companies practice a little truth in advertising and say what their products actually are, rather than what they're supposed to be imitating. Oh right, because then no one would buy them!

Cross-sex hormones may now be given to US children as young as eight in a government-supported research program, despite the risks these drugs can pose, a doctor skeptical of transitioning gender-dysphoric kids has discovered.

"Imagine giving eight-year-old girls testosterone," Dr. Michael Laidlaw told a Heritage Foundation panel. "They are in third or fourth grade. This is unbelievable. But this is going on." Laidlaw, an endocrinologist, discovered via a Freedom of Information Act request that the minimum age for administration of cross-sex hormones had been lowered from 13 to 8 in a large five-year study being conducted at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

'This whole thing is an experiment on children.'

Laidlaw blamed the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for "allowing unethical research to be conducted on children and adolescents," as Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who runs the Los Angeles study, received a $5.7 million grant from the NIH.

Both teachers' unions oppose Rhode Island bill that would make sex with students a crime

Yesterday at a hearing for a bill (HB 5817) that would make sex between school employees and students a crime - even after they've turned 16, the legal age of consent in Rhode Island - both teachers' unions made their objections known. NEA RI didn't have anyone testify but Pat Crowley did sign in to the hearing and note his opposition to the bill. I suspect the NEA also submitted written testimony. James Parisi of the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) did testify - in fact, we sat beside one another, each offering our very different opinions on the bill.
teachers students sex crime
As it currently stands, Rhode Island is one of a few states where it is perfectly legal for teachers and other school employees to have sexual relations with their students once they turn 16. It's literally a dirty little secret - almost no one seems to be aware of this loophole in the law and yet it leaves high school students without any protection from those who would sexually abuse them after their 16th birthday. We are also a state who, after a year long investigation by USA Today, received a grade of D for how well we track and share information about teachers who are also alleged abusers.


Comment: The reason it wasn't legally banned before now is because it was until recently assumed that it should not happen. But with the rise in teacher-student relationships...


Comment: Although Rhode Island has hit a stumbling block, policies and laws in the US and elsewhere are proliferating in an effort to contain these and similar inappropriate behaviors.

The problem is deeper: the 'anything goes' attitude to 'free love' that has radically altered (eviscerated, in fact) cultural values. First everyone was freed to have whatever sex they want. Then, as each problem arising from that comes up, new crimes have to be added to the books.

At the same time, everyone wants their rights, and no responsibilities...

61-year-old American woman gives birth to her son's husband's sister's baby

A 61-year-old woman who served as a surrogate mother for her son and his husband has described her role as a "gift for her son".

Cecile Eledge thought doctors in her home state of Nebraska would not allow her to carry a baby for the couple because of her age.

But the family rejoiced when Uma Louise Dougherty was born in an old-fashioned delivery two weeks ago at a Nebraska medical centre in Omaha.

"I wanted to do it as a gift from a mother to her son," Cecile Eledge said.

Comment: No doubt they never gave it a second thought.

After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Onwards into the glorious future!

The imploded Russian collusion narrative seems to have had little impact on changing the minds of its devotees. In fact, the hysteria may only have increased, judging by yesterday's rallies and their motto, "Release the Report!"

In a bizarre spectacle, demonstrations across the country organized by the MoveOn political action committee, with the endorsement of MSNBC's Rachel Maddow herself, have called for the immediate release of the full, uncensored report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

In order to energize the gatherings, NYC's Times Square rally also included the distribution of a surreal songbook, complete with lyrics of popular tunes like the classic "My Favorite Things" and "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones, changed to include references about alleged details in the conspiracy narrative.

Jussie Smollett's lawyer claims he 'will not be intimidated' into paying $130,000 to Chicago

© Matt Marton/AP, FILEEmpire" actor Jussie Smollett arrives at the Leighton Criminal Court Building for his hearing in Chicago, March 14, 2019.
Two days after prosecutors in Chicago unexpectedly dropped all charges against Jussie Smollett, city officials gave the "Empire" actor a week to pay back $130,000 used to investigate a hate crime in January that officials said was bogus.

Smollett missed the deadline, and the city threatened a lawsuit on Thursday. A day later, a lawyer for the actor responded by saying Smollett "will not be intimidated into paying the demanded sum."

"Mr. Smollett vehemently denies making any false statement to the City of Chicago, or to any individuals investigating" the alleged attack, attorney Mark Geragos said in a statement addressed to Chicago's Department of Law on Friday. "All criminal charges against Mr. Smollett from this incident have been dismissed and his record has been sealed. Thus, your claim that Mr. Smollett filed a false police report and orchestrated his own attack is false and defamatory."
