Meanwhile across the pond,

teachers are pulling the same crap they are here.
Schoolchildren are being taught about anal sex and orgasms before they have reached puberty and set 'masturbation' as homework, secretive lesson plans reveal.

Many teachers are 'indoctrinating' children with scientifically false claims about biological sex, presenting gender as fluid and furthering a narrative that people can be born in the wrong body.

It comes as the NHS is facing a mass legal action from 1,000 families who claim their children were rushed into taking life-changing puberty blockers' by the Tavistock Centre.

They also have the 'know your place, peasant, being a parent means nothing!' crap.
It follows a concerned mother being denied the right to see the content of the lessons being taught to her 15-year-old daughter in her Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) classes, which became compulsory three years ago.

Despite a judge refusing Clare Page the right to see the material, MailOnline can reveal that a wealth of questionable teaching resources are already available online.

Speaking of being in the club,

A supervisory IRS agent divulged to Congress widespread interference in the probe of Hunter Biden, including the blockage of two search warrants and more extensive criminal charges, while also confirming the government had evidence that Joe Biden met with his son's Chinese business partners, according to testimony released Thursday,"
...
He confirmed career prosecutors originally intended to charge Hunter Biden with numerous tax violations dating to 2014, but in the end appointees of Joe Biden nixed the plan for a more sweeping indictment. In the end, the charges were narrowed to two counts in 2017 and 2018 that most likely spared the presidential son prison time.

"I am blowing the whistle because the Delaware U.S. Attorney's Office, Department of Justice Tax, and Department of Justice provided preferential treatment and unchecked conflicts of interest in an important and high-profile investigation of the President's son, Hunter Biden," he told lawmakers.
And yes, there's more.

Looks like, at the least, it would take cleaning out the upper levels of just about every federal agency to actually attempt to clean them up.

Several years back I had a phone problem

due to the network upgrading, which meant a week with no cell.  Which included a trip to Texas.  You get used to having that 'call for help' box handy, you notice it when you don't.

What brought that to mind was telling my mother that when I'm out in the yard or something, I have it with me just in case.  I do, too; had I had it with me two years ago when that nasty infection made itself known it would've been an easier day.

Seems monkeypox cases are rising; gee,

I wonder why?

This is another "I have no proper words for the punishment

the bastards running this school deserve.

No, you cannot trust their version of

'the Science'.  This is just one wonderful bit:

As George Carlin said, "It's a club,

and you're not in it."

Hmm. You demand a technology that doesn't exist, and for some reason

you can't get the study done on time.  No telling when you might get something together.  Or whether it'll be straight-up bullshit, or something that might someday be useable('someday' being a key word).

Is there any federal agency remaining that cares about the law, or

that Constitution thing they swear to uphold?

Throw in the fact that almost none of the oathbreakers and lawbreakers who do this ever pay any real price...

Can you say 'Hypocritical, bigoted asshat'?

I knew you could.
Colin Kaepernick has slammed capitalism while promoting a new book on black studies that he co-edited with two renowned Marxist scholars.

The civil rights activist, who has a reported net worth of $40million and lives in a $5.4million Las Vegas mansion, claimed that black liberation is not possible under a capitalist system.
Much like Sen. Sanders, who's worth millions, has three homes, and bitches about the horrors of the system under which he was able to get all that.

And yes, there's more woke than just 'Capitalism Bad!' in this.

A bronze sword so well preserved

it's still gleaming.  That's a find.

Gee, you think MAYBE?

Former Centers for Disease Control & Prevention Director Robert Redfield is ‘very disappointed’ in Fauci’s lack of interest in pursuing the real origins of the pandemic in order to protect gain-of-function research.

“Tony and I have been friends for a long time, but I’m very disappointed in how he’s responded to this,” Redfield said. “Largely, I think it’s grounded in his advocacy for gain-of-function research.”

“I think, as you know, he’s a strong advocate for gain-of-function research, and I’m a strong advocate for a moratorium on gain-of-function research.”

And, to add to that,
Professor Robert Garry, a respected microbiologist who works at Tulane University in New Orleans, is one of five bylined on a paper in March 2020 entitled ‘The Proximal Origin of Sars-Cov-2’.

…The letter, published in the journal Nature Medicine, concluded: ‘We do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.’

Now, Dr Garry has told the BBC this statement was never meant to dismiss all types of potential lab leak.

Speaking to Fever: The Hunt for Covid’s Origin, an eight-part BBC Radio 4 series, he said they were aiming to dismiss the idea the virus had been intentionally crafted as a bioweapon.

‘At that point we were still largely under the influence, when that particular sentence was written, with the notion that this may have been a bioengineered virus or maybe a weapon that just sort of accidentally released,’ he said.

But pressed by John Sudworth, the BBC’s former Beijing Correspondent, on how the paper’s principal conclusion covered all types of lab leaks, such as a from a disease research facility, Professor Garry admitted the wording was wrong.

‘Maybe we went a little too far there,’ he said.

Next month it'll be two years

since Dad died.

Miss him.

I will probably be fairly tied up the next few days, but I did get the 6th eve data put together,

and as the Joker said, "Here. We. Go."

Another story changes, bringing up the simple question "Of all the stuff they've told us,

what CAN we believe?"
D’Antuono’s bluster notwithstanding, his office conducted a halfhearted inquiry at best. And now the public knows why. During an interview with the House Judiciary Committee earlier this month, D’Antuono disputed claims the bombs were planted to divert law enforcement presence away from the Capitol just before protesters assembled outside the building, a view commonly shared at the time.

Not only did the FBI fail to identify the individual, D’Antuono admitted the FBI does not even know the “gender” of the bomber. He also backtracked on numerous public statements insisting the devices were viable, indeed, deadly. Pressed by Rep. Tom Massie (R-Ky.) to explain how the bombs were operable considering the use of a one-hour kitchen timer attached to the metal tube, D’Antuono admitted that they couldn’t have detonated during January 6. “I don’t know when they were supposed to go off. Maybe they weren’t supposed to go off.”
Oh yes, there's more.

Well, Space Force seems to be properly screwed by politicians in uniform

Space Force veteran Lt. Col Matt Lohmeier — who was relieved of command after he said on a conservative podcast that Marxism was infiltrating the U.S. military — argued in a tweet that Burt had actually done what he was fired for doing.

“I was once fired from command in the @SpaceForceDoD for allegedly ‘being politically partisan while acting in an official capacity.’ That allegation was totally false,” he said. “Lt. Gen. Burt here demonstrates what being politically partisan while acting in an official capacity really looks like.”
It seems that laws preventing a kid from being physically transitioned is "...a trend that could be dangerous for service members, their families, and the readiness of the force as a whole.”  Therefore, etc.

"If you defend this guy we don't like, we'll try to get you disbarred!"

Which, as Insty says, probably comes under the heading of a conspiracy to deprive someone of legal counsel, which I think is criminal.  If they're a lawyer, it's definitely unethical and ought to get THEM disbarred.

And, as usual, if they can do it to Trump they can do it to anybody else they're pissy about.

"My remarks were focused on promoting inclusion."

Said 'inclusion' apparently being "Give up your disgusting religious beliefs because they're bad."

Ever notice that female officials with one side of their head shaved tend to come out with crap like this?

Since the previous post brought the subject up, let's look at a journal dumping an article

to please the screamers.
An alarming recent event highlights the vulnerability of the scientific endeavor to politics. ASB is a primary target for activist researchers who will not tolerate dissent from their views, and a months-long campaign by activists to pressure Springer Nature into retracting an ASB paper that they didn’t like has culminated in success. While the activists’ desire to censor inconvenient research should come as no surprise, Springer Nature’s capitulation to their demands represents a profound betrayal of scientific integrity and the publisher’s commitment to truth.

The paper in question, “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria: Parent Reports on 1655 Possible Cases,” was authored by researchers Suzanna Diaz (a pseudonym) and Michael Bailey and published in ASB on March 29. Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD), a newly proposed pathway to gender dysphoria, was first described by the researcher Lisa Littman in 2018; the theory may help explain the documented surge in cases of gender dysphoria among adolescents and young adults who had previously exhibited no gender-related issues. Littman proposed and provided supporting evidence that social factors have at least partly caused the surge, especially among girls.(bold mine)

Such a hypothesis might appear plausible, or at least a straightforward empirical matter to be decided through evidence-based examination. But it violates the dominant narrative favored by medicalization activists that the rise in trans identities stems from an increase in societal acceptance of “gender diversity.” Evidence supporting ROGD would call into question the “gender-affirming” model of care, an approach premised on the notion that kids can know their “gender identity” from very early on and will rarely, if ever, change their minds about it. ...
A short version would be "Thou shalt not publish papers that might disprove the Preferred Narrative™!"  And the cowards that go along with it.
