The Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. Vivek Murthy, has asked Congress to require a warning that social media can harm teenagers’ health. Finally, somebody is speaking out on behalf of the safety of children.
Duke Medical School claims that “timeliness, perfectionism and individualism” are components of a “white supremacy culture.” Uh, excuse me, but I think I want perfectionism when it comes to my surgeon or other medical professionals.
A Louisiana judge has ruled that “There are two sexes.” The judge has stopped the implementation of President Joe Biden’s Title IX changes. The changes would allow men to compete in women’s sports.
Electric vehicle manufacturer Fisker has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. The EV manufacturer cited low vehicle demand and economic uncertainties. Even with the unlimited funds from the federal government, it’s still not enough to sustain the industry.
The Pentagon’s plan to feed our troops lab-grown meat has met with a substantial amount of controversy. The Pentagon has been working with a company that has received mega-funding to produce the lab-grown meat. The purpose is to align with the Biden administration’s goals on climate change.
The murder rate in Venezuela has fallen to the lowest in 22 years. These violent criminals are being released into the United States. What a great deal for Venezuela but not so good for us. Venezuelan illegal aliens were arrested in Texas for the rape and brutal murder of a 12-year-old girl. An illegal Venezuelan was also charged with the brutal murder of Laken Riley, a nursing student in Georgia.
A Texas mother was kicked off a plane for misgendering a flight attendant. She claims she was returning home with her baby and her elderly mother when she said, “Thank you, sir,” to a male flight attendant identifying as a woman. Can things get any crazier? Of course, the lady now has a lawyer.
Miss Maryland USA is a man. The winner is a man who identifies as a transgender woman. The crowning just so happened to be on the first day of Pride Month. The other contestants are speaking out about the unfairness of the selection. They believe the entire pageant was a fraud and the winner was preordained.
“No U-Turn” traffic signs were taken down in Silver Lake, California, because the signs were anti-LGBTQ. It’s true. Nobody could make this stuff up. So now signs are even discriminatory.
The state of Illinois has raised “wokeism” to new heights. Criminals’ feelings are important and they need help integrating back into society. How does that happen? Lawmakers proposed a bill to rename “criminal offenders.” The rebranded name will be “Justice Impacted Individual.” I’m certain this will make a huge difference in the lives of criminals.
Some Democrat-run sanctuary cities that have been overrun by the influx of illegal immigrants appear to have a change of heart. These desperate cities have begun to quietly cooperate with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
California is leaking residents like a sieve. People are leaving in record numbers to other states that are less burdensome and less “woke.” Elon Musk announced that he is moving all of his companies out of California and headed to Texas. Chevron is doing the same. These companies will be taking thousands of employees with them.
A secession movement has officially launched in the state of New Hampshire, the Live Free or Die state. The Free State Project is encouraging freedom-loving citizens to move to New Hampshire and change the culture and the politics of the state. There are also discussions and movements in several other states — Texas, Louisiana, Florida and Alaska — to follow suit. I hope this isn’t like the last time states tried to secede.
A surge in corporate bankruptcies is taking place in record numbers. Total bankruptcies have surpassed levels that have not been seen in 13 years. Most companies cite high interest rates and high inflation rates as the culprit.
With all of this craziness, we’re still the greatest country on Earth. We are blessed to be Americans.
