For today’s gross-out news, take a look at the latest from New York’s once-vaunted, highly feted, Emmy award-winning Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Alabama House approves bill to ban transgender athletes
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama could become the next conservative state to prevent transgender girls from playing on female sports teams as the state House of Representatives on Thursday approved the legislation.
Representatives voted 74-19 for the bill that will require K-12 athletes to play on teams based on the biological sex listed on their birth certificates. The approval came after Republicans voted to end a filibuster. The bill now moves to the Alabama Senate.
The tyranny of ‘lived experience’ – How the woke elites are gaslighting the entire population.
Thou shalt not disrespect another’s lived experience. On the surface of it, this would appear to be the key commandment of the woke age. A person’s ‘lived experience’ carries an extraordinary amount of moral weight in the 21st century. Public debate is built around it. Policy, increasingly, is shaped by it. Journalism is full of it: column after column about the lived experience of systemic racism, transphobia, misogyny, mental health. Lived experience is the moral currency of campus life. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard student activists recount their ‘lived experiences’ — always oppressive, always tragic — and round furiously on anyone who dares to question said lived experience.
Why are journalists so Left-wing?
I’ve learned so much from Twitter, about subjects I was quite ignorant about before; the world of Byzantium for example, or the beautiful history of early skyscrapers.
Most of all, though, I’ve learned how much worse American journalists are than our own commentariat — something I wasn’t really aware of before social media.
Media Targets Georgia Cops for Frustrating Attempt to Spin Spa Shootings as Hate Crime
Some background.
Asian-Americans have been protesting a wave of violent attacks. Most of those attacks have been carried out by minority or homeless perpetrators. Democrats and the media have frantically tried to blame this on President Trump. Finally, they thought that they hit pay dirt over the spa shootings.
Except that the perpetrator had issues with sexual addiction and it wasn’t a hate crime.
Day’s top headline: JIHAD-IT COMING! ISIS bride who urged jihadis to attack US says morality police punished her for wearing Nike trainers
AN ISIS bride who urged fanatics to “spill American blood” has told how the terror group’s brutal morality police punished her for wearing Nike trainers.
Hoda Muthana, 25, has been caged inside the squalid Roj camp in Syria with her young son since the death cult’s demise and insists one day she could be a “model” US citizen.
Does AOC Care About Kids in Cages Anymore?
Remember when America was basically Nazi Germany because of all the kids in cages? Day in and day out, the news was filled with frenzied screaming about kids in cages, kids in cages, kids in cages. According to our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press, Trump’s treatment of unaccompanied children at our southern border proved he was another Hitler.
The Racist Sound of ‘Whiteness Is a Pandemic’
The Root is obviously a hyperbolically racial magazine, since its slogan is “The Blacker the Content the Sweeter the Truth.” It’s not surprising that it frequently publishes writer Damon Young, author of the memoir “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker.” We’re told he asked important and dramatic questions like “Will this white person’s potato salad kill me?”
FBI reportedly investigating Cuomo role in shielding donors from Covid liability
Allegations that the New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, improperly used the power of his office to shield political donors from Covid-19 lawsuits have reportedly become the subject of an FBI investigation.
Federal investigators are said to be looking into how a provision granting immunity to hospital and nursing home executives became a late addition to the state’s budget before it was passed last spring.
Conservatives debate whether to declare that ‘climate change is real’ at policy convention
After grappling with Canadians’ climate concerns in recent election cycles, Conservatives engaged in fierce debate today over a policy proposal from a Quebec riding to declare that “climate change is real.”
The Portneuf—Saint Jacques riding association’s proposed policy change would add green-friendly language to the Tory playbook.
The backer is asking delegates to affirm that the party “recognizes that climate change is real” and that “the Conservative Party is willing to act.”
They’ll never win until they learn the media will always hate them no matter how desperately they try to suck up. But like Charlie Brown and that football they just can’t resist.
Why does Canada’s foreign aid policy keep stumbling?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s last overseas trip before the pandemic struck was to Africa.
His first stop was Ethiopia, the top recipient of Canadian aid in the world. There he praised Nobel Peace Prize winner President Abiy Ahmed, citing his “leadership,” the reforms he had brought forward and the way the PM saw the president “pulling Ethiopians together.”
This month, Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau had to call his Ethiopian counterpart to express “Canada’s deep concern regarding credible reports of human rights violations and abuses” in the Tigray region.
Why does Canada’s foreign aid policy keep stumbling? Because it’s a bad idea.
WTF?

The spies who cancel us – The British security establishment thinks ‘whiteness is the problem’
Eat your heart out Edward Snowden — Wokeyleaks has a mole inside the British security establishment. It turns out that the people whose job it is to protect the UK are spending most of their time protecting employees from ‘harmful language’.
Isn’t it reassuring to know that, in a society increasingly obsessed with policing thought, spies with a track record of hacking people’s personal computers have fully signed up to cancel culture?
Progressives against Civil Rights
As activists trade equality for “equity,” they jettison the principles of the civil rights movement.
A new generation of “antiracist” intellectuals and activists is rewriting rules, canceling nonconformists, and making a grand attempt to rid America of what they consider its systemic racism. With the support of academia, media, and many major corporations, they seem well positioned to achieve their goals. They even have support in in the White House, as President Joe Biden stated in a press conference last month that he will make “racial equity” a priority for the “whole of government.” Yet these efforts may encounter a surprising obstacle: the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
UK police to treat misogynistic attacks as hate crimes on ‘experimental basis’ following murder of Sarah Everard
Police in the UK will soon begin treating misogyny as a hate crime on an “experimental basis”, following the abduction and murder of Sarah Everard, in an effort to provide data on violence against women and girls.
After weeks of activist lobbying, the UK government will ask police to treat misogynistic attacks as hate crimes in the same way that violence motivated by a person’s religion, race, or sexual orientation is considered.
