A registered child sex offender has been reading to children at Houston Public Library as part of its Drag Queen Storytime.

A group called Mass Resistance, which has been trying to put an end to the program, contacted KHOU about the child sex offender.

Mass Resistance claims it had been asking the City of Houston for months to disclose information about the drag queens, and when requests went unanswered, they did their own digging and made the shocking link.

A media spokesperson for the library confirmed one of the program's drag queens, Tatiana Mala Nina, is Alberto Garza, a 32-year-old child sex offender. In 2008, he was convicted of assaulting an 8-year-old boy.

"Most parents would not allow that individual to sit in this library and be held up as a role model to our children. Shame on you, Mayor (Sylvester) Turner!" said Tracy Shannon with Mass Resistance.

Comment: Is it any wonder that in the over-sexualized drag queen scene that there would be sex offenders among them? Not a shocker at all. Hopefully, this situation will force some supporters of acceptance and inclusion to wake the hell up.

Man up, Hollywood, and stop making boys into wimps

Males are weak, females are cool and powerful - that's real fantasy, Disney.

The other day I praised my son for being "manly". He'd handled a situation with a maturity beyond his nine years, showing honour, courage and responsibility. It seemed a fitting compliment. Yet he looked shocked. "I don't want to be that," he told me. "That's a bad thing." I reminded him of his school motto, right there on the crest of his uniform: "Viriliter Age", meaning act manly. It was sad, as a mother, to have to reassure a boy his innate being is, in fact, a good trait. Not something to feel ashamed of, or guilty about.

That any child should feel bad about their gender identity is particularly rotten in a supposedly progressive society. Yet it wasn't wholly a surprise, considering the cultural brainwashing from a radical left agenda that is being force-fed to younger generations in the form of cinema.

It seems impossible to go to a kids' movie nowadays without being lectured on Hollywood's twin pillars of liberalism: political correctness and identity politics. I just want to bring them out for an afternoon of innocence and pleasure, not ideology and propaganda. Instead it's like being at mass.

Comment: It's not just Hollywood - even the American Psychological Association apparently thinks men acting like men is inherently toxic. Painting boys behaviors as something bad, and encouraging them to act more like girls will inevitably lead to a lost generation of men.

Clashes between Yellow Vest demonstrators and police broke out as rallies intensified on the 18th consecutive weekend of protests. President Emmanuel Macron's "grand debate" aimed at pacifying the protests ended on Friday.

Saturday's rally saw thousands of people flooding the streets of downtown Paris, with many wearing black balaclavas and holding French flags.

Violence erupted on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, where protesters congregated to take part in the weekly march which began in November. According to the Associated Press, Paris mobilized more police than in previous weeks in an attempt to stave off unrest. More than 100 demonstrators were arrested by Saturday evening.

"From 7,000 to 8,000 people are currently rallying in Paris, and out of them around 1,500 people are ultraviolent, and they have come to destroy and to attack," French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner told broadcaster BFMTV. The Interior Ministry later upped the turnout to 10,000 protesters in Paris and 14,500 nationwide.

Debunking the myth that anti-Zionism equates to antisemitism

All over the world, it is an alarming time to be Jewish - but conflating anti-Zionism with Jew-hatred is a tragic mistake

It is a bewildering and alarming time to be a Jew, both because antisemitism is rising and because so many politicians are responding to it not by protecting Jews but by victimising Palestinians.

On 16 February, members of France's yellow vest protest movement hurled antisemitic insults at the distinguished French Jewish philosopher Alain Finkielkraut. On 19 February, swastikas were found on 80 gravestones in Alsace. Two days later, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, after announcing that Europe was "facing a resurgence of antisemitism unseen since World War II", unveiled new measures to fight it.

Among them was a new official definition of antisemitism. That definition, produced by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance in 2016, includes among its "contemporary examples" of antisemitism "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination". In other words, anti-Zionism is Jew hatred. In so doing, Macron joined Germany, Britain, the United States and roughly 30 other governments. And like them, he made a tragic mistake.

On Thursday, around 150 Jewish settlers, backed by at least 30 Israeli policemen, stormed East Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, according to Palestinian officials.

"About 150 Jewish settlers - backed by at least 30 policemen - have forced their way into the mosque compound since morning," Firas al-Dibs, a spokesman for Jerusalem's Religious Endowments Authority, told Anadolu Agency, also adding that some of the settlers tried to perform Talmudic rituals before exiting the site. The Talmud is the main text of Rabbinic Judaism.

​The complex is known in Judaism as the Temple Mount and in Islam as the the Noble Sanctuary.

Witch-hunting Southern Poverty Law Center hoarding half billion in assets including $121m in offshore accounts

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a far-left nonprofit known for its "hate group" designations, has surpassed a half billion dollars in total assets and now has $121 million parked offshore, according to the group's most recent financial statements.

The SPLC, which is based in Montgomery, Ala., has not publicly posted its most recent financial statements on its website. However, the organization applied for renewal in the state of California days ago and submitted a number of documents pertaining to its financial standing including its most recent audited statement and tax forms for calendar year 2018, which covers Nov. 1, 2017 to Oct. 31, 2018.

According to the filings submitted to California's Office of Attorney General, the group reported total assets of $518 million from November 2017 to the Oct. 31, 2018, an increase of $41 million from the $477 million in total assets it reported on its previous year's tax forms.

Comment: The lawsuits are moving forward. Russia Insider reports:
RICO and Defamation Lawsuits

It might just come to pass that SPLC needs every penny in that big pile of coins.

The group that lays the "hate" or "racist" label on anyone with whom it disagrees, a label that led to a terror attack at the headquarters of the Family Research Council, faces at least three lawsuits alleging mail fraud, defamation, tortious interference, and violations of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.

The plaintiffs are all victims of the SPLC's capricious labeling of those with whom it disagrees.

The latest plaintiff to file suit against the hard-left smear group is Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys, a drinking club that SPLC labeled a hate group. McInnes alleges defamation and tortious interference not only because he isn't a racist, he says, but also because the SPLC's smear was so thorough that he lost his job, can't find another, and was "deplatformed" from social media, which prevents him from defending himself effectively. Neighbors have even harassed him and tried to drive McInnes and his family out of their home.

The Center for Immigration Studies sued SPLC in January. CIS accuses SPLC's top two officials of an "ongoing conspiracy" to defame CIS with the "hate" label. That lawsuit alleges mail fraud and a violation of the RICO Act. By SPLC's own criteria, the lawsuit argues, CIS is not a hate group.

Another SPLC victim is Glenn K. Allen, a lawyer who worked for Baltimore City until SPLC called him a "neo-Nazi" who had "infiltrated" the city's legal department. Of course, the city fired him after SPLC leveled the false and defamatory claim. Like McInnes, Allen accuses SPLC of defamation and tortious interference. Like CIS, he alleges mail fraud and RICO violations. The lawsuit also attacks SPLC's tax-exempt status.

To defend that one, SPLC hired a top defamation attorney.

SPLC recently paid more than $3 million to Maajid Nawaz's Quilliam Foundation after SPLC included them in its "Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists." That settlement included a humiliating video apology.

Global recycling crisis shows West can't use poorer countries as dumping grounds

India has followed China's lead and banned imports of solid plastic waste from in an effort to tackle its own environmental crisis - but the move has added to an ever-growing global recycling and plastics crisis.

One year ago, the Chinese government implemented its 'National Sword' policy, which put a stop to the massive flow of recyclable plastic waste from Western countries. Plastic imports to China were down 99 percent in the first year since the new import restriction came into force.

Until the Chinese ban, the US, UK, Germany and Japan were among the biggest exporters of plastic to China. The new rules forced them to look elsewhere to send their plastic recyclables. UK exports to Malaysia nearly tripled, while exports to Thailand were 50 times greater. The US is the biggest plastic exporter to Malaysia, sending 195,444 tonnes between January and July 2018.

But the Chinese and Indian bans have shown that exporting plastic waste is unsustainable - and Thailand and Malaysia, too, have announced bans, not wanting to continue on as the dumping ground for the world's plastic waste. While the short-term solution to the problem for Western countries has been to find alternative markets, the long-term solution, in the words of UK environment secretary Michael Gove, is to "stop offshoring our dirt."

The public debut of the Russian Irkut MC-21-300 with a passenger interior is scheduled for this year's Moscow International Aviation and Space Salon (MAKS 2019), which runs from August 27 to September 1.

The presentation will "visually demonstrate to potential customers and future passengers one of the most important competitive advantages of the Russian airliner - an increased level of comfort," Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov said as cited by the plane's producer, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).

On Saturday, the third MC-21-300 test aircraft made a successful maiden flight at the airfield of Irkutsk Aviation Plant, a branch of the UAC, the company announced. No incidents were reported during the 90-minute flight, with speeds of up to 500kph at an altitude of 3,500 meters. The fourth jet of the same model will start test flights later this year.

Trump's holy wall and America's shifting sense of self

Trump wall map
Trump's Border Wall is such a controversial issue that any discussion of it is generally filled with far more emotion than facts or reasoning and the Wall itself is a representation of something rather emotional and abstract. Those against its construction have rhetorically retreated from the position of the wall being evil to it being "unaffordable" or a "waste of money". But do any of the people saying the wall is too expensive to make actually have any clue about the "value of the dollar" relative to government spending? Of course not, they are primarily motivated by feelings and emotions like all humans including those who are for the wall.

A good example of this madness is when CBS, a major news network asked Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina about whether it is worth the cost to build the Wall when a new middle school in Kentucky (among other things) needs to be built.

Aussie Senator gets EGGED after comments blaming Muslims for NZ mosque shooting

A teenage protester has egged the Australian senator under fire for his recent statement lashing out at Muslim immigration as a reason behind Friday's mass shooting in New Zealand.

Queensland Senator Fraser Anning made the controversial statement after 49 people were killed and more than 40 injured at two Christchurch mosques on Friday. Stating that he was opposed to "any form of violence," Anning claimed that the atrocity highlighted the "growing fear over an increasing Muslim presence," in both New Zealand and Australia. The comment prompted an avalanche of criticism.

At his Saturday press conference in Melbourne, a young protester attacked him with an egg.

Footage of the incident shows the teen standing quietly beside the politician. He then pulls up his cellphone before slapping the egg on the back of Anning's head. The senator then turns to the young man before swinging two punches at his face. The teen is then tackled to the ground and held in a headlock while Anning is led away. People can be heard saying "pick him up and get him out," and "get the cops."
