AOC slammed for reaction to NYPD dance crew performance: ‘Useless, harmful politician’

Lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is getting bashed for lashing out at a recent TV performance by the NYPD’s dance team — with foes saying her criticism only highlights the failures of her own party.

The Democratic congresswoman from New York City — who supported the “Defund the police” movement — was among those to take aim at the police department after its dance troupe performed on PIX11 late last week.

She just can’t win.

Nothing Iran & Russia Hate More … Secretary of State Blinken Warns Of ‘Misgendering’ As Global Conflicts Rage

Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned his employees at the Department of State not to engage in “misgendering,” as violent conflicts in Europe and the Middle East continue to rage on.

Blinken sent out the guidance on language in the days following the United States’ missile strike of Iran-backed militants in Iraq and Syria in retaliation for the killing of three American soldiers, turning his attention away from the conflict to tell officials which terms they should — and shouldn’t — use when talking about gender.

He must have graduated from the Trudeau-Joly College Of Statesmanship Knowledge.

St. Pat’s holds rare ‘Mass of Reparation’ to atone for hosting ‘sacrilegious’ trans activist’s funeral

St. Patrick’s Cathedral has held a rare “Mass of Reparation” at the historic Midtown church to atone for the “sacrilegious” funeral service of a trans woman there last week, Catholic leaders say.

The church claimed it was duped into hosting Thursday’s funeral for Cecilia Gentili, a Big Apple transgender activist who championed the rights of sex workers, AIDS patients and the LGBTQ community — and was eulogized as “St. Cecilia, mother of all whores” at her Manhattan service.

Vast majority of permanent residents applying to join military not accepted in 1st year of eligibility: data

The Canadian Armed Forces has received more than 21,000 applications from permanent residents eager to join the chronically understaffed military full time — but CBC News has learned that less than 100 of them have made it into the regular force in the year since they were allowed to sign up.

In 2022, the federal government lifted a ban on permanent residents enlisting in the military after the country’s top commander warned of a critical shortfall in personnel.

Gen. Wayne Eyre, chief of the defence staff, said that given the “significant number of demands around the world, there’s just not enough Canadian Forces to do everything.”

Trans-women’s milk as good as breast milk, says NHS trust

An NHS trust has said that breast milk produced by trans women who were assigned male at birth is as good for babies as that produced by a mother who has given birth.

In a letter to campaigners, the University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust (USHT), said that the milk produced by trans women after taking a combination of drugs is “comparable to that produced following the birth of a baby”.

The hospital trust, which runs Royal Sussex County Hospital, Worthing Hospital and Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital among others, was also the first in Britain to use the term “chestfeeding” in place of breastfeeding because it is considered by some to be more inclusive.

The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department said eight people were arrested Saturday during a 10-hour “protest and standoff” that stemmed from an Eritrean “cultural event.”

Clashes erupted between rival groups of Eritreans, and police confirmed that officers trying to disperse the unlawful crowds were attacked by people wielding sticks, rocks and other items.

Crowds also set a tractor on fire in North Carolina’s largest city, and police seized a total of two firearms over the course of several hours.

MI6’s quest for the ‘Holy Grail’ thwarted by a Spanish cleaning lady

Sabina Suey was offered safe passage to Britain under the condition she brought the ancient cup but she refused

It is a story, in the words of the researcher who has uncovered it, that would serve for “three or even four Hollywood movies”. A tale that takes place in Civil War-era Spain, featuring a heroic female protagonist, British spies and an ancient cup that is considered by some to be the Holy Grail.

In 1939, as Spain’s fratricidal conflict was reaching its conclusion, militias were regularly looting churches and cathedrals for items of value. There were also many German and British spies operating in the country as the tensions that would lead to the outbreak of World War II escalated.
