Rachel Levine must explain the ‘misinformation’ surrounding ‘gender-affirming care’

Is the public being lied to about transgender treatments? If so, how?

Rachel Levine, the United States assistant secretary for health, has become a lightning rod for attention and controversy in the Biden administration.

Levine is a nonbinary transgender woman who, as a biological male, was married with two children. Levine was named Woman of the Year by USA Today. When the Christian satire website Babylon Bee published an online post calling Levine “Man of the Year,” Twitter suspended the Bee’s account, which was then unsuspended under new Twitter owner Elon Musk.

I am a Boeing 747 pilot – I’ve seen UFOs defying all known tech & I captured a cigar-shaped object on camera

A BOEING 747 captain with some 9,500 hours of flight time at controls has told of his bizarre encounters with UFOs while taking to the skies.

Christiaan van Heijst explained he has witnessed objects which appear to exceed all known technology as they appeared to hit hypersonic speeds of up to 23,000mph.

The 39-year-old, from The Netherlands, is a respected airman and an an award-winning aerial photographer – and yet he has seen things he cannot explain.

UFOs are traditionally a highly stigmatised topic – often being dismissed off hand as nothing beyond conspiracy theories or something for the world of cranks.

But in recent years the conversation has moved, with even the US government confessing their are things in the sky which they as of yet cannot or will not publicly identify.

Only a few years ago this could have cost him his job.

At this Texas school, every student is a teen mother

Lincoln High – Planting the seed to go to college.

At the end of a year in which motherhood has been at the centre of impassioned debate in the US, a school in Texas for teenage mothers shows how young lives are being supported – and reshaped.

It was early 2021, and Helen had been eating more than usual.

The soon-to-be 15-year-old couldn’t explain why her appetite had seemed to grow so much.

“Is this normal?” she asked her older sister. It could be, her sister suggested.

But Helen had also been moody and would easily find herself picking fights with family and friends. Then her period was late.

How to Solve Big Tech Censorship: Un-Misread a Landmark Case

The ongoing ‘Twitter Files’ revelations show that Republicans’ first order of business this coming 118th Congress must be to introduce a legislative firewall between the White House — and its offshoot federal law enforcement agencies such as the Department of Justice and its offshoot, the FBI — and private social media companies. Last summer’s revelations of government pressuring social media executives into blocking users not toeing the official line on COVID was as clear an example of unconstitutional “state action” as any. Courts have long ruled the government cannot pressure private entities, as an “agent of government,” into censoring what itself cannot.

Chris Hayes Mocked for Downplaying Biden Life-Story Lies Compared to George Santos

The egg covering the face of poor Chris Hayes is the result of him sticking his foot into the controversy about the lies told by Congressman-elect George Santos versus what he called “normal” political lies told by Joe Biden. Here is Hayes’ Tuesday tweet that caused a tidal wave of blowback mockery of the MSNBC host as to Biden’s “normal” lies:

Sam Bankman-Fried spent $200M in FTX customer funds on two investments: feds

Indicted FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried used customer cash from sister firm Alameda Research to invest $200 million in two separate companies, according to a report.

One of Bankman-Fried’s investments went toward the banking app Dave, which disclosed a $100 million windfall last March that purportedly came from FTX Ventures, CNBC reported on Wednesday.

The other $100 million investment backed Mysten Labs, a Web3 firm focused on digital infrastructure, according to the business network.

It looks worse every day, now he has been caught lying about the source of funds for these two “investments.” He is scheduled to make a plea Jan 3. I have no idea which way he will go, but he seems “entitled” enough to claim innocence.

How an Occupied Twitter Ruined Countless Lives

From the beginning of the COVID panic, it felt that something was very wrong. Never had a pandemic, much less a seasonal pathogenic wave, been treated as a quasi-military emergency requiring the upending of all freedoms and rights.

What made it more bizarre was how alone those of us who objected felt until very recently when Elon Musk finally bought the platform Twitter, fired all the embedded federal agents, and has started to release the files.

Lützerath: How Germany’s energy crisis reignited coal

1.5 degrees means Lützerath stays

Germany had been winding down its brown coal production. Then an energy crisis hit. Now, thousands of people have promised to resist January plans to demolish a village and dig up the coal beneath it.

“If this village goes, then Germany’s 1.5-degrees commitment to the Paris Agreement goes, as well.”

It’s an October afternoon in a rural corner of western Germany, the village of Lützerath in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). The morning rain clouds have moved out, and the sun is glistening off the damp grass and leaves in the small meadow where we’re walking.

Pele dies: The greatest footballer of all time passes away aged 82

Pele, the Brazilian who has long been considered the greatest footballer of all time, has died at the age of 82.

The legendary figure, a man who transcended his sport and was a global icon, learned that his colon cancer had advanced on December 21 and was told he would be kept in hospital over Christmas – with the iconic forward needing treatment for cardiac and renal dysfunction.

Previously he had been admitted to the hospital on November 30 with swelling all over his body and ‘decompensated heart failure’ before passing away a month on after receiving palliative care.

If aliens contact humanity, who decides what we do next?

Scientists setting up ‘post-detection hub’ in Scotland are concerned humans would react ‘like headless chickens’

The moment has been imagined a thousand times. As astronomers comb the cosmos with their powerful telescopes, they spot something that makes them gasp. Amid the feeble rays from distant galaxies lies a weak but persistent signal: a message from an advanced civilisation.

It would be a transformative event for humankind, one the world’s nations are surely prepared for. Or are they? “Look at the mess we made when Covid hit. We’d be like headless chickens,” says Dr John Elliott, a computational linguist at the University of St Andrews. “We cannot afford to be ill-prepared, scientifically, socially, and politically rudderless, for an event that could happen at any time and which we cannot afford to mismanage.”

I see “The Authorities” are already behaving far worse than is expected of the general population if contact is made.
