Hannah Tubbs began identifying as female after being arrested last year in a 2014 child molestation case, according to prosecutors.
Explicit Los Angeles jailhouse recordings of Hannah Tubbs, the 26-year-old trans child molester who received a slap on the wrist last month after pleading guilty to molesting a 10-year-old in 2014, depict her admitting it was wrong to attack a little girl but gloating over the light punishment.

She boasted that nothing would happen to her after she pleaded guilty due to Democrat District Attorney George Gascón's policies and laughed that she won't have to go back to prison or register as a sex offender. She also made explicit remarks about the victim that are unfit to print.

Gascon says 2 years 'may not' be enough jail time for child sex assailant

Comment: Considering the funding source for his election, Gascón is dutifully upholding Soros' Open Society ethos:

Best of the Web: After Covid, we must embrace critical thinking again

I'll never forget the most valuable lesson I learned during my first year at university, taught to me by a literature professor who had fled the USSR: All totalitarian regimes throughout history have shared one key trait - they control all knowledge. This is essential to their success, because if you can't control what information the public can access, then you can't effectively control a population.

"If you ever give up your right to freedom of information," he would frequently remind me, "all of your freedom will be gone. You've lost everything." This stuck with me and, over the next four years, I was fortunate to have a few great professors who expanded on it by teaching me how to keep that freedom. To be free, you must first learn how to think.

Freedom must be fought-for and preserved in a variety of ways but, if you don't first know how to think, you won't even recognize when your freedom is being taken away in the first place. As my professor explained, "For a people to be free and remain free, each person must recognize that he or she is an individual capable of independent thought, and learn to think critically about all subjects." Anything less than that leads to regurgitating memorized information that may or may not be true.

SNP sex guidance 'effectively lowers age of consent to 13' say campaigners

The SNP-run Scottish Government has been accused of effectively lowering the legal age of consent in Scotland to just 13 by campaigners.

New guidance for police, teachers and social workers states that parents should not be automatically told if their children are having sex before the age of 16.

Instead, the policy says that if a young person is in a "safe and mutually respectful" relationship, their "confidentiality" should be respected.

The change has been blasted by family campaigners and the Catholic church.

The row follows on from the controversy surrounding the SNP's hated 'sex survey' for school children.

Although the guidance still recognises the legal age of consent as 16 - and those aged 13 to 16 would still be committing an offence - it also states teenagers will not be automatically considered at "risk of significant harm," reports the Mail on Sunday.

Instead, factors such as age or whether alcohol or drugs were involved will be considered. Whether there is a "power imbalance" or whether grooming, bribing or coersion is involved will also be taken into account.


Comment: Given the amount of woke grooming that is considered acceptable these days, this isn't reassuring.

Victory? Trans swimmer Lia Thomas sets new record for 200-yard freestyle race beating female athletes by half a pool length

On Friday night, Lia Thomas, a transgender woman athlete, set a record for the 200-yard freestyle race in the Ivy League university swimming championships in the US, beating her closest opponent by half a pool length.

Her win was widely praised as a victory for women's sport as Thomas, who until 2019 was competing - with notably less success - in the male category, took to the podium to claim her prize.

Alongside her, somewhat dwarfed by her broad shoulders and imposing stature, her defeated opponents smiled and applauded in the approved manner, as though the entire thing were completely normal.

No mention of the fact that they had just been bested by someone with an inherent set of physical advantages: muscle mass, speed, size.

Vegan wins Oxford Union debate arguing that eating meat is racist and sexist

Undaunted by its push to vilify the so-called "gender binary" of male and female and introduce new hierarchical structures to reset the status quo, the progressive left remains on the move to problematize everything. Its latest target? Meat.

In November, the Oxford Union held a debate about meat consumption called "This House Would Move Beyond Meat," presented by vegan feminist Carol J. Adams, and the farcical proceedings went viral in February after clips surfaced on social media. Adams, the writer of 'The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory' and 'The Pornography of Meat', regurgitated the decades-old argument that meat consumption is not only problematic in the sense that it exploits animals for the purposes of basic sustenance (as often repeated by vegans in general), but also that meat consumption has gendered and racialized components.

Masking children is more harmful than COVID itself

This past weekend, the Super Bowl enlightened us not just because the Bengals tragically lost in the last minute of the big game, but because we saw a false pretense, a façade of virtuous character among our leaders and lawmakers insisting we mask up.

But yet they don't conform to their own social and moral standards. Leaders lead by setting an example for others. But when that doesn't happen, we lose trust, respect, and credibility - while simultaneously forcing children to cover their faces all day long in school, which at this point is harmful to our kids.

Is it really that bad? Yes. At this time, masking children is more harmful than COVID itself for most children, the lowest risk group who have a near-zero mortality rate from coronavirus - 0.24% to be exact.

When children cover their faces, they cover their personalities, their expressions. Facial expressions are the most vital and valuable aspect of human to human communication and interaction - the way a child conveys his thoughts, emotions, ideas, intentions. Their face indicates physical or psychological distress and that's not to mention nonverbal communication expressing fear, anger sadness, or pain, all of which impacts social engagement, growth, personality, confidence, and behavior. It makes me wonder whether alterations or deprivation of these necessities at an early age will be responsible for mental illness later in life.

Democrats overwhelmingly approve of Trudeau's crackdown on freedom protestors, freezing of bank accounts: Poll

justin trudeau
A recent poll has revealed that a majority of American Democrats approve of the Canadian Prime Minister's crackdown on the freedom protestors in Ottawa after he invoked the Emergencies Act early last week.

In a poll conducted by the Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action obtained by The Daily Wire, it revealed that 55 percent of likely general election voters overall disapprove of Trudeau's handling of the protestors in Ottawa and beyond.

35 percent overall approved of Trudeau's crackdown, while 10 percent said they were unaware of what's happening to the US' northern neighbor.

Looking at Democrat likely voters alone, 65 percent said they favored Trudeau's crackdown on the protestors, and 17 percent said they disapproved.

Republicans, on the other hand, more strongly disproved of Trudeau's heavy-handed tactics, with 87 percent saying the disapprove and just 8 percent approving.

Comment: No investigation, no trial, no nothing except for being suspected of participating and your money will be frozen. That the democrats are okay with this is not all that surprising but be sure that the "temporary" measures are usually just a stepping stone for 'permanent'. The Daily Wire reports:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not quite ready to loosen his grip on the emergency powers his government invoked to shut down the recent trucker protests that brought Ottawa to a standstill.

Trudeau said in a public statement that even though the protests had been disbanded and the truckers had been either arrested and detained or sent home — some with their financial accounts frozen as well — the state of emergency was not yet over.

"As I said, the Emergencies Act is not something to undertake lightly, and it's something that needs to be momentary, temporary, and proportional. That's why every single day, I am receiving briefings and we are reflecting on how much longer the Emergencies Act needs to be in place," Trudeau explained. "We don't want to keep it in place a single day longer than necessary."

"But even though the blockades are lifted across border openings right now, even though things seem to be resolving very well in Ottawa, this state of emergency is not over," Trudeau continued. "There continue to be real concerns about the coming days, but we will continue to evaluate every single day whether or not it is time and we are able to lift this state of emergency."

Trudeau's government invoked the Emergencies Act after truckers, protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates and quarantine requirements, formed a convoy blockading much of Ottawa and border crossings for several weeks.

Under that state of emergency, Canadian officials arrested and detained protesters, froze financial accounts belonging to those involved, and even threatened to take physical custody of pets that were left uncared for if their owners were detained.

Critics called Trudeau's response to the truckers an overreach, with some even comparing him to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. Some, referencing Trudeau's history of blackface, caused #BlackfaceHitler to trend on Twitter over the weekend.

The truckers have changed Canada forever

canada trucker protest
On Monday 14 February, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau sent an unlikely Valentine's gift to his citizens, invoking rarely used emergency powers, which came into effect the next day. This was in response to the 'Freedom Convoy' of thousands of truckers and protesters who have gathered in the nation's capital, Ottawa. Trudeau claimed that the protests were not peaceful, implying that the crisis could not be solved by normal policing under existing statutes. The reality is that, during more than two weeks of protests, Ottawa's protesters are guilty of little more than municipal traffic and noise infractions. There has been no violence. Nevertheless, two of the protest leaders, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, have been detained by police under the emergency powers.

The threshold for invoking emergency powers in Canada is supposed to be high. Indeed, similar powers have only been used in the two world wars and, controversially, in 1970, when then prime minister Pierre Trudeau, Justin's father, used emergency powers to suppress a separatist movement in Quebec. His son's use of emergency powers, in the context of a peaceful protest, has been criticised by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, which has argued that the necessary threshold has not been met to justify invoking these draconian powers. It should also be noted that Trudeau and his government have consistently refused to meet and even to listen to the protesters' grievances, despite the protesters themselves being willing to engage in dialogue.

Strangely, the most problematic element of the protest - a trucker blockade of the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, Michigan, over which 25 per cent of US-Canada trade travels - was peacefully resolved the weekend before Trudeau's proclamation, by the provincial police. Meanwhile, on the same day that Trudeau declared his emergency, another blockade - on the border between Alberta and the US state of Montana - ended peacefully and without the use of force. The police and the protesters ended up hugging each other after the issue was resolved.

Comment: One can hope for change but it's unlikely he'll be going anywhere. The Great Reset must go on and he's their guy.

Businesses reject 'decoupling' on 50th anniversary of Nixon's China visit

Five decades after then US President Richard Nixon made an ice-breaking visit to China in 1972 that helped start bilateral diplomatic engagement, US business leaders in China voiced hope for continued commercial communication between China and the US and rejected a decoupling between the two economies.

Monday marks the 50th anniversary of Nixon's historic visit to China, during which the two countries issued a document known as the Shanghai Communiqué, which became the political foundation for the normalization of China-US relations.

Eric Zheng, President of AmCham Shanghai, told the Global Times on Monday:
"We as a US business chamber still hope that China and the US continue to maintain at least economic and trade interactions amid relatively complex global geopolitics... we don't want the so-called decoupling.

"We hope that the two sides could figure out a more positive mechanism to resolve their trade and commercial disputes...instead of by increasing tariffs, which actually bring harm to both countries."
