Homeless in Seattle? City officials will put on a TRANSGENDER STRIP SHOW to lift your spirits

Local leaders in Seattle, Washington are facing criticism after using taxpayer funds to hire a transgender stripper to perform at an annual event aimed at combatting rising homeless population rates.

Footage, taken last week during a conference organized by a coordinating agency for the homeless in King County called 'All Home,' shows adult performer Beyoncé Black St. James grinding on attendees and waving her flappy bits all over the place.

Unless she's hiding another secret in her pants, it remains to be seen how using government funding to hire a chick with a d**k to sexualize what should be a professional event will cure the local homeless crisis. This is yet another negative mark against a city that's already wasting vast sums of funds to combat a problem it doesn't seem capable of solving.

For quite a while now, Seattle has been tormented by a rise in those without stable housing, and leaders such as Mayor Jenny Durkan have lamented that the crisis "won't just go away overnight." Though, if this most recent video is any indication, attempts to address it aren't exactly serious affairs.

France brought to standstill as massive strike continues with transport workers erecting flaming barricades and truckers blocking traffic

French transport infrastructure ground to a halt on Monday as drivers and conductors at state-run companies continued to strike against proposed pension reform, while truckers protested for better wages and working conditions.

As many as 200 people from a local transport trade union congregated outside a TCAR bus depot near the French city of Rouen in the early hours of Monday morning, erecting a burning barricade of shopping carts and setting dumpsters on fire.

The depot gates were blocked off, trapping several staff members inside the facility. The move was ostensibly aimed at 'encouraging' public transport workers to join anti-government protests in a more visible manner.

Comment: Ultimately, this major strike, and the Yellow Vest protests - that have been running since this time last year - are basically about the same thing: the relentless and rapidly deteriorating quality of life, whether that be because of the decimation of pensions or the soaring taxes on fuel - to name just two of the complaints from citizens:

Media in a tizzy over 'white power' sign flashed at Army Navy football game

The screeching masses on Twitter are melting down over the "white power symbol" flashed by a group of Army and Navy cadets. However, even the media is getting on board, unironically describing the 'okay' gesture as a hate symbol.

The controversy began at Saturday's Army/Navy football game in Philadelphia, after TV cameras caught multiple Midshipmen and Cadets making the "okay" hand gesture, apparently in a bid to distract their classmates and viewers.

Twitter liberals went into a tizzy, claiming that the gesture was an overt display of "white power" and, naturally, blaming President Donald Trump.

Western leaders, screw your 'Sanctions Target the Regime' blather: Sanctions KILL PEOPLE

The US has a favourite tool for bullying non-compliant nations: sanctions. Sanctions inflict considerable suffering, even death, on ordinary people in targeted nations. Yet those defiant nations persist and resist.

A recent opinion piece in the Washington Post proposing a new oil-for-food scheme, this time in Venezuela, surprisingly acknowledges that sanctions "can also end up harming the people that they intend to protect."

Okay, first off, we know there is no intention of "protecting" civilians in any of the countless countries targeted by Western sanctions. Do Western talking heads really think we've forgotten the half-a-million dead Iraqi children, thanks to US sanctions?

Yet, ask a Western leader about crippling sanctions placed on nations which don't bow to Imperial demands and you'll be met with some nonsensical explanation that sanctions only target 'regimes' and 'terrorists,' not the people.

A Miami Beach police officer was arrested after the owner of a valet company told investigators he demanded $1,000 in cash each month in exchange for not issuing parking citations.

Dante Zirio, 57, was arrested Saturday during a sting operation involving the owner of APS Parking LLC. Company owner Freddy Diaz gave the officer a $750 payment during a conversation that was captured on video.

Zirio has been charged with extortion, bribery, and accepting an unlawful compensation for official behavior.

"It's a sad day when a public officials engages in such behavior, but it is good to know that internally we did the right thing to identify and arrest the perpetrator," Miami Beach City Manager Jimmy Morales said in an email to the city's mayor and commissioners.

Hallmark caves to the gay left and reinstates commercial showing same-sex wedding

The Hallmark Channel on Sunday moved to reinstate ads featuring a same-sex couple that had been removed from the cable network. The decision came after considerable backlash over the initial decision to stop airing the ads from the wedding-planning company Zola.

"The Crown Media team has been agonizing over this decision as we've seen the hurt it has unintentionally caused," Hallmark CEO Mike Perry said in a statement Sunday night. "Said simply, they believe this was the wrong decision."

"Hallmark will be working with GLAAD [Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation] to better represent the LGBTQ community across our portfolio of brands," the statement continued. "The Hallmark Channel will be reaching out to Zola to reestablish our partnership and reinstate the commercials."

Perry also used the statement to apologize, saying, "Our mission is rooted in helping all people connect, celebrate traditions, and be inspired to capture meaningful moments in their lives. Anything that detracts from this purpose is not who we are. We are truly sorry for the hurt and disappointment this has caused."

First railway bridge connecting Russia & China promises to boost trade to new highs

The construction of the long-awaited railway bridge between Russia and China will be finished by the end of next year, according to Russian presidential envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Yury Trutnev.

Work on the bridge was initially scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2020, but due to difficulties the initial project had to be redesigned.

"We'll have to start a new project, because the river where our (Russian) side of the bridge is being built, and pillars already installed, is much deeper than what they were designed for. The project objectively needs to be changed," Trutnev told journalists on Monday.

He added that the changes to the project are planned to be made without attracting additional federal budget funds.

We are in the midst of the worst drug crisis in American history

There has never been a time in our history when more Americans have been on drugs. According to the most recent government numbers, 24.6 million Americans have used an illegal drug within the last 30 days. Of course the number of Americans taking legal drugs is actually far, far higher. According to Bloomberg, 46 percent of all Americans have taken at least one legal pharmaceutical drug within the last 30 days. In most instances, those legal drugs have been prescribed by doctors with the intention of helping people, but sometimes legal drugs are even more addictive than illegal drugs are. In particular, opioids have destroyed countless American lives over the past decade, and in so many cases those that got addicted originally got them legally. Today, Americans consume approximately 80 percent of the total global supply of opioids, and it is a major national crisis. But even if we were able to get rid of all the opioids, we would still be the most drugged up nation on the entire planet. We have become a nation of addicts, and the self-destructive path that we are on does not have a positive ending.

How Modern Psychology Destroyed Traditional Christian Morality

Sigmund Freud didn't confine himself to armchair research. He wasn't satisfied with activity only within his native country either. He wanted to "spread the light" to the whole world. In 1909, he visited America with his lectures for the first time. It was then, at an American port, that he said: "They don't realize that we're bringing them the plague." This is precisely what happened. Little by little the "plague of Freudism" spread far beyond the laboratory in Vienna.

At first the West didn't accept Freudism and even was formally opposed to it. But the "seeds" of the "plague" brought forth "shoots" as early as fifty years later; we are speaking of the so-called "sexual revolution", a socio-cultural phenomenon in the Western world that entailed the reappraisal of traditional (family) values.

To understand its origins we should refer to Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis, namely his method of treating patients with mental disorders. According to the theory, a patient has all the instruments for his cure — for this he can become a psychoanalyst himself.

Supposedly some members of the human community in return for "social good" develop neuroses as their desires, suppressed by the yoke of public morality, remain unsatisfied.

And here the question arises: What will a society, some members of which decide to disregard social and ethic norms for the sake of their "mental health" be like? A split in society becomes inevitable.

In the early 1960s the "sexual revolution" broke out in the West. True, Freud himself wasn't its ideologue in the full sense, but the high priority he specifically gave to all that's sensual and sexual in human psychological life played its role. The Western world was inspired by the ideas of liberation.

First-Class PR Stunt? German railway company calls out Greta Thunberg's train bluff

According to the German train operator, the teenage face of the climate movement posed sitting on the floor in what she claimed was an "overcrowded train", while having a first-class ticket.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg, who is known for shunning airplanes for the sake of the environment, is returning to her home country, Sweden, for Christmas.

While on her way, she tweeted a picture of herself sitting on the floor of an "overcrowded train".

"Travelling on overcrowded trains through Germany. And I'm finally on my way home!", the 16-year-old tweeted, attaching a self-portrait gazing into the window while sitting on the floor surrounded by an array of bags.

German railway giant Deutsche Bahn thanked Thunberg for using the ICE 74 "with 100 percent green electricity", but stressed that it would be more honest of the climate activist to admit that she actually had a first class seat and enjoyed top-tier service.

"It would have been even nicer if you had also reported how friendly and competently you were looked after by our team at your seat in first class", Deutsche Bahn tweeted.
