The Real Story Behind Drag Queen Story Hour – Aimed at children, the phenomenon is far more subversive than its defenders claim
Drag Queen Story Hour—in which performers in drag read books to kids in libraries, schools, and bookstores—has become a cultural flashpoint. The political Right has denounced these performances as sexual transgressions against children, while the political Left has defended them as an expression of LGBTQ pride. The intellectual debate has even spilled into real-world conflict: right-wing militants affiliated with the Proud Boys and the Three Percenters have staged protests against drag events for children, while their counterparts in the left-wing Antifa movement have responded with offers to serve as a protection force for the drag queens.
The lesson of 2022: energy is our lifeblood – The Ukraine war reminds us we need it in abundance, whether we like it or not
This has, so far, been a year of hard lessons. Spiraling inflation has given households an expensive economic refresher course. A land war in Europe has offered an unwelcome reminder of old geopolitical and military truths. But arguably the most important lesson of 2022 concerns the point at which these economic, military and geopolitical considerations converge: energy.
Tim Burton: ‘My Days With Disney Are Done’ Because Of ‘Homogenized’ Content Like Marvel Multiverse
Tim Burton is not interested in working with Disney again because of a bad experience making “Dumbo,” plus some issues with the Marvel multiverse.
The veteran Hollywood director made the statements this weekend at the Lumière Festival in Lyon, France, per Deadline.
Burton discussed the company’s current focus on the Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar franchises which he doesn’t care to work on.
Lawsuit reveals vast censorship scheme by Big Tech and the federal government
A little noticed federal lawsuit, Missouri v. Biden, is uncovering astonishing evidence of an entrenched censorship scheme cooked up between the federal government and Big Tech that would make Communist China proud.
So far, 67 officials or agencies — including the FBI — have been accused in the lawsuit of violating the First Amendment by pressuring Facebook, Twitter and Google to censor users for alleged misinformation or disinformation.
Victims of the Biden-Big Tech’s “censorship enterprise” include The Post, whose Hunter Biden laptop exposé was suppressed by Facebook and then Twitter in October 2020 after the FBI went to Facebook warning them with great specificity to watch out for a “dump” of Russian disinformation, pertaining to Joe Biden, with an uncanny resemblance to our stories.
Biden Embraces America’s Fiercest Enemies: Whose Side Is He On?
Saudi Arabia was once considered America’s No. 1 friend and ally in the Arab world. Since President Joe Biden came to power, however, US-Saudi relations have rapidly deteriorated.
The recent OPEC+ decision to cut oil production and the Biden administration’s subsequent verbal attack on Saudi Arabia have seen the crisis between Washington and Riyadh reach new heights, with many Saudis launching unprecedented criticism of the Biden administration and its foreign policies.
The Saudis believe that the Biden administration’s hostility towards Saudi Arabia is the result of the influence of far-left US politicians who have infiltrated the Democratic Party.
Doty Joe ain’t runnin anything that’s the one certainty.
Ukraine war: Nato denounces Russia’s ‘dirty bomb’ claim
Nato’s secretary general has warned Russia over its “false” claim that Kyiv might use a “dirty bomb” – conventional explosives laced with radioactive material.
Jens Stoltenberg tweeted that the Nato allies “reject this allegation” and “Russia must not use it as a pretext for escalation”.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu made the dirty bomb remarks in a call with his UK counterpart Ben Wallace.
Ukraine also condemned the remarks.
US Has Only 25 Days of Diesel Supply; Shortage Could Cripple Economy
The United States is down to 25 days of diesel supply as a top White House official declared the stockpile levels to be “unacceptably low.”
Data provided by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) show that diesel stockpiles are at their lowest level for October in records that date back to 1993, according to a Bloomberg News analysis. EIA data show that the United States, as of Oct. 14, has 25.4 days of supply—down from 34.2 days of supply four weeks prior.
Ontario’s first healing lodge for Indigenous inmates in peril because of cash crunch
A Toronto-based Indigenous non-profit is close to cancelling plans to build Ontario’s first Indigenous healing lodge owing to funding shortfalls, a potential setback to the Trudeau government’s objective of expanding the country’s network of Indigenous-run correctional facilities.
Thunder Woman Healing Lodge Society says it’s $2-million short of the total needed to construct a seven-storey residential complex that would house federally sentenced women.
‘Unlawful’ activity part of what made ‘Freedom Convoy’ unmanageable: interim chief
The size alone of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests wasn’t what rendered them unmanageable for local authorities, according to Ottawa’s interim police chief — it was the “unlawful” activities and “trauma” that resulted for the community.
Speaking to the Public Order Emergency Commission during a hearing on Monday, Steve Bell said Ottawa’s police service is used to handling “prolonged” and “protracted” protests.
A Honkocaust of trauma!
Emergencies Act inquiry summons Ontario Premier Doug Ford to testify
OTTAWA — Ontario Premier Doug Ford and former solicitor general Sylvia Jones have been summoned to appear as witnesses at the public inquiry examining the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act.
Commission lawyers said the summons was issued Monday after both Ford and Jones, who is now the health minister, refused multiple requests to appear.
Canada’s delegation to Queen’s funeral spent almost $400,000 for hotel rooms alone
One hotel room cost $6,000 per night and the total cost of hotels for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral is more than many Canadians spent for their house, according to bills paid by the federal government.
Everyone knew the bill for the Canadian delegation attending the Queen’s funeral last month would be steep, but the king’s ransom paid out is still shocking.
Finally! A sane Canadian leader
Canada at the national level is run by a fascist man-child, purported son of Fidel Castro, Prime Minister Trudeau. He has been hurtling Canada down a dark path leading to tyranny. He is a tyrant with a pretty smile.
But as with the United States, Canada is a federal system and the provinces each have their own governments. I am no expert on Canadian politics–come on, who is?–but even I know that Western Canada has some much saner residents than Toronto and Vancouver.
Canada’s competition watchdog to investigate grocery industry in wake of soaring food prices
Canada’s competition watchdog is launching a study of the grocery industry to examine whether the highly concentrated sector is contributing to rising food costs.
“With inflation on the rise, Canadian consumers have seen their purchasing power decline,” the Competition Bureau said in a news release Monday.
“This is especially true when buying groceries. In fact, grocery prices in Canada are increasing at the fastest rate seen in 40 years.”
The government is largely responsible for inflation, are they suggesting we should trust the Liberals to investigate themselves?
