Planned Parenthood Says ‘Any Reason Is the Right Reason’ for Abortion

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Planned Parenthood officially revealed its true ideology by publishing a tweet, in which the organization stated that “any reason is the right reason” for an abortion.

“When it comes to your abortion, any reason is the right reason,” PP wrote.

The organization also stated that women sharing their abortion stories helps to normalize the genocide of innocent human beings.

“Telling your abortion story is important, and the more we talk about this essential form of health care, the more normalized it becomes,” PP wrote.

In addition to the tweet itself, PP also included a brief video, in which a woman named Lucky who pretends to be a man said that allowing a butcher in one of the PP “clinics” to murder her unborn baby was “one of the best decisions” she had made.

In the full video that was posted on YouTube, Lucky said that she got into a “very, very difficult relationship” and realized that she was pregnant. According to her, the “abortion was one of the greatest acts of compassion” that she “ever committed.” Lucky described murdering an innocent human being not only as an “easy decision” but also as “one of the best decisions” she had made in her life.

She then added that she currently receives “gender-affirming care” from PP.

The decision of the organization to use a “transgender” instead of a woman who is not confused about the biological reality is not a surprise, since PP has a history of pushing leftist “gender” ideology.

Last week, the organization published a tweet, in which they promoted the idea of a “multigender” identity, seeking to normalize the deviancy.

“You and only you know how you feel about your gender identity, and you get to decide what identity fits you best,” PP wrote.

“It’s perfectly normal if that feeling and identity change day-to-day or over time, so don’t limit yourself to one gender if it doesn’t feel right.”

One of the slides that was posted with the tweet stated that “feeling like you’re multiple genders is totally normal and OK.”

“Want to abort your unborn child because she’s a girl? Want to kill your kid in the womb because he’s going to have Down syndrome? Want to kill your baby because you’re a racist bigot and don’t like the skin color of the man who knocked you up?” the Daily Wire wrote.

“Well, good news for you, because Planned Parenthood says that mothers can kill their children in the womb for any reason at all.”

Court Denies 7th-Grader’s Legal Battle over ‘Two Genders’ Shirt

Court Denies 7th-Grader’s Legal Battle over ‘Two Genders’ Shirt

(Abdul–Rahman Oladimeji Bello, Headline USA) The Massachusetts District Court recently denied a lawsuit that Alliance Defending Freedom and Massachusetts Family Institute filed against Nichols Middle School for allegedly violating the First Amendment rights of a 12-year-old student. 

Liam Morrison said that his teacher kicked him out of class for wearing a t-shirt that read, “there are only two genders.” Other school staff reportedly supported the teacher’s action by sending Morrison home for refusing to take off the shirt. 

“This is about a public school telling a 7th grader that he isn’t allowed to hold a view that differs from the school’s preferred orthodoxy,” said ADF legal counsel Logan Spena in a statement issued before Wednesday’s hearing. “Public school officials can’t censor Liam’s speech by forcing him to remove a shirt that states a scientific fact. Doing so is a gross violation of the First Amendment that we’re urging the court to rectify.”

However, things took an unexpected turn at the hearing as the court denied the request for a restraining order or a temporary injunction, Fox News reported. If granted, this would have restricted the school’s ability to prevent Morrison from expressing his views before the court made a final decision.

“No matter what you think about the gender issue, it’s pretty remarkable that a school can punish a student for protesting censorship in America today,” Spena said as he addressed the media.

“They claim that because Liam’s message is not inclusive, they can exclude it. What they don’t account for is how does their own speech and all the other speech they already permit impact Liam? It completely excludes him. But for some reason, that doesn’t seem to count,” he continued. 

Still addressing the media, the attorney added, “The better rule is the one that protects everyone. The First Amendment does not change depending on whether your view is popular or not.” 

The attorney concluded, noting that ADF will appeal the case to a higher court if the district court rules against Morrison.

Biden Takes Spill at Air Force Graduation Ceremony

Biden Takes Spill at Air Force Graduation Ceremony

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) Seconds after handing out the final diploma at the United States Air Force Academy’s graduation ceremony in Colorado Springs on Thursday, President Joe Biden took a nasty onstage nosedive, reportedly tripping over a sandbag.

The fall was not a unique event for Biden, who has stumbled several times on the stairs of Air Force One and also toppled during a bike ride near his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Yet, the episode called to mind the over-the-top reaction from mainstream media in 2020 after then-President Donald Trump gingerly walked down a ramp during the U.S. Military Academy graduation ceremony in West Point, N.Y.

Trump said his shoes would have slid down the wet ramp if he had not sought assistance with the walk.

“The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery,” he wrote on Twitter.

“The last thing I was going to do is ‘fall’ for the Fake News to have fun with,” he added. “Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!”

Nonetheless, the New York Times and others concocted a ludicrous story that Trump’s walk and his delicacy in drinking a glass of water were ominous signs that the then-74-year-old was unfit to serve as president.

“There was no evidence that the ramp was slippery, and the skies were clear during the ceremony,” wrote breathless Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

“The videos again raised questions about the health of Mr. Trump, whose advisers have never fully explained his abrupt visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in November, saying at the time only that it was intended to get a jump on his annual physical,” she added.

Media seemed far less interested in broaching questions about whether Biden, 80, might be unfit to serve based on his long history of both mental and physical blunders over a nearly 30-month span as president.

But his latest mishap is unlikely to assuage concerned voters who suspect Democrats have either been in denial or actively gaslighting the public about the president’s condition and his prospects of enduring a second term if re-elected.

At least one conservative commentator, Dave Rubin, appeared to put his finger on the fear that was on everyone’s lips.

Meanwhile, according to some preliminary reports, Thursday’s tumble appeared to elicit cheers from members of the audience and graduating class.

Other Twitter users pointed to the bemused looks on the cadets’ faces—although it was unclear from the context that their expressions were related to Biden’s misfortune.

Some couldn’t resist the opportunity to poke fun at the situation—and, in at least one case, its ironic timing on the first day of LGBT “Pride” month.

Amazon Forks Out $30M Settlement for Using Alexa to Spy on Kids

Amazon Forks Out $30M Settlement for Using Alexa to Spy on Kids

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) As part of a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission, Amazon has agreed to pay a $30 million fine for spying on children and deceiving parents.

The Department of Justice acted at the behest of the FTC when it sued Amazon on Wednesday for violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, according to Axios. The act, which was approved with bi-partisan support, prohibited marketing to children without their consent.

The lawsuit focused on Amazon’s use of children’s data it collected as children spoke to Alexa devices, according to the New York Times.

Specifically, regulators accused Amazon of storing children’s voice recordings indefinitely whilst using their data to train its algorithm to interact with and understand children.

Regulators further asserted that Amazon failed to delete children’s data, even after parents requested its deletion.

Samuel Levine, the director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, issued a statement regarding the suit.

“Amazon’s history of misleading parents, keeping children’s recordings indefinitely, and flouting parents’ deletion requests violated [the privacy rights of children],” he said, adding that Amazon had “sacrificed” kids’ “privacy for profits.”

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, “does not allow companies to keep children’s data forever for any reason, and certainly not to train their algorithms,” Levine scolded, adding that Amazon’s violations were blatant and clear.

The settlement would have Amazon to pay $30 million and would also require Amazon to delete the voice recordings and location data of children. It would further require the company to delete the inactive Alexa accounts that belong to children, and to stop misrepresenting its handling of user’s data.

Amazon was also dinged $5.8 million in consumer refunds for privacy and security violations of the company’s Ring cameras, as part of settling the dispute.

A federal judge must approve of the settlement before the FTC and Amazon may formally accept the terms, though both agreed to the settlement before sending it to the courts.

Okla. Mom Sues School after Daughter ‘Severely Beaten” by Trans Student in Bathroom

Okla. Mom Sues School after Daughter ‘Severely Beaten” by Trans Student in Bathroom

(Headline USA) An Oklahoma mother filed a lawsuit against her local school district this week after her 15-year-old daughter reportedly was “severely beaten” by a transgender student in the girl’s bathroom.

The young girl was attacked on Oct. 26, 2022, at Edmond Memorial High School, according to the lawsuit. The transgender student, who had “made previous threats of violence” against the victim, entered the female restroom and approached the victim, who was speaking with friends, the Daily Mail reported.

After telling the transgender student that she didn’t want to talk, the transgender student became angry and asked the victim if she “wanted to fight.”

The transgender student then hit the victim in the face and continued to kick her and pull her hair as she lay on the ground. Her friends tried to intervene, but they were also struck in the face by the transgender student.

The girls said they felt powerless against the transgender student because of his strength.

Police were called to the school and reported that one girl had injuries to her “eye, face, and head with a possible concussion,” according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that the school failed to comply with a law signed by Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt that requires students to “use restrooms that match the sex listed on their birth certificate.”

Superintendent Angela Grunewald claimed there was no birth certificate on record for the transgender student because the student had enrolled just a few days prior to the attack.

“We have a policy that our school board enacted in August of this school year that says all students must go to the bathroom of their birth gender, and both of those policies were broken,” Grunewald admitted. “I can tell you consequences were given.”

The mother is seeking $75,000 in damages for the “severe physical and mental injuries, severe physical pain and suffering, and severe emotional distress” her daughter sustained.

Senate Temporarily Sidetracks Biden’s Student Loan Amnesty Scheme

Senate Temporarily Sidetracks Biden’s Student Loan Amnesty Scheme

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) In a relatively toothless rebuke of their party’s chief spender, the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate on Thursday approved GOP-driven legislation knocking down President Joe Biden’s scheme to buy leftist votes by cancelling at least $400 billion in student loan debt.

The Senate’s 52-46 vote, which came on the heels of the House last week approving the measure, passed with help from so-called moderate Democrat Sens. Joe Manchin, W.Va., and Jon Tester, Mont., and Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, Ariz., who allied with Republicans to approve repealing the multi- billion-dollar shell game.

Manchin blasted the loan cancellation plan as “reckless,” adding that the country “simply cannot afford to add another $400 billion to the national debt,” a move that could hobble the economy and cripple taxpayers.

“There are already more than 50 existing student loan repayment and forgiveness programs aimed at attracting individuals to vital service jobs, such as teachers, health care workers, and public servants,” Manchin said in a statement.

“This Biden proposal undermines these programs and forces hard-working taxpayers who already paid off their loans or did not go to college to shoulder the cost. Instead, we should be focusing on bipartisan student debt reforms that reduce the cost of higher education and help all Americans.”

The Senate vote sets up a promised veto from the White House, which reportedly has little concern about facing a potential veto override with neither the House nor Senate passing the rebuke with the required two-thirds majority needed to shoot down Biden’s veto.

“It’s something of a slap in the face to Americans who chose more affordable college options or worked their way through school to avoid taking on student loans, or whose parents scrimped and saved to put them through college,” Senate Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., said of Biden’s loan scheme before the Thursday vote.

“Unfortunately, the president is guaranteed to veto the measure, and there are not enough Democrats in the House and Senate to be willing to override his veto,” Thune conceded.

Report: FBI Again Investigating Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange

Report: FBI Again Investigating Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The FBI is reportedly investigating Wikileaks founder Julian Assange again, even as the U.S. continues to try to extradite him from the United Kingdom for allegedly violating the Espionage Act—the same statute the DOJ is also using to target former President Donald Trump.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported Thursday that the FBI sought to interview novelist Andrew O’Hagan about his time working as a ghostwriter on Assange’s autobiography over a decade ago. O’Hagan has reportedly declined to speak to the FBI because he opposes any attempt to punish a journalist for publishing classified material.

Nevertheless, Assange’s supporters are worried about the implications of a renewed FBI investigation.

“It appears they are continuing to try to investigate, which I find unusual given the amount of time that has passed since the investigation began,” Assange’s Australian lawyer, Stephen Kenny, told the Sydney Morning Herald.

“I would think it is of some concern because we have been working to try to secure an arrangement that would see Julian come home.”

Assange’s brother Gabriel Shipton reportedly said it appeared U.S. prosecutors are trying to prepare a new indictment or a superseding indictment against Assange, who was charged under the Espionage Act about three years ago for publishing classified information about U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Assange was something of a darling among liberals until around 2016, when Wikileaks published more than 20,000 Democratic National Committee emails, exposing corruption in the Hillary Clinton campaign. Because this was perceived to be helpful to Trump, liberals turned on Assange and supported his prosecution.

Assange has been fighting extradition to the U.S. for the last three years.

Trump was reportedly considering pardons for Assange and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in his final days as president, but journalist Glenn Greenwald said that RINOs such as Lindsey Graham threatened to vote for Trump’s impeachment if he issued pardons to those men.

“There was real movement inside the Trump administration to give particularly Snowden a pardon,” said Greenwald, who first published Snowden’s bombshell revelations about the National Security Agency’s secretive domestic surveillance operations during the Obama administration.

“Why would they have initiated an impeachment against a president who within a couple of weeks was on his way out?”

With Trump now also being targeted by the DOJ with the Espionage Act, civil libertarian stalwarts such as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., have called for repealing the law altogether.

PetSmart Embraces New Type of ‘Grooming’ for Pride Month

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) PetSmart has decided to join in the corporate celebration of Pride Month with a new series of LGBT merchandise, the New York Post reported.

The pet merchandise store recently launched an advertising campaign called “You Are Loved,” which will feature LGBT pet attire and accessories.

The collection includes such items as rainbow cat leashes and rainbow dog bikinis.

Kristin Shane, senior vice president and chief merchandising officer at PetSmart, said that she helped introduce the new line “to help pet parents and their pets celebrate the spirit of Pride and share our values of inclusion and unconditional love.”

According to Shane, it is the prerogative of the pet supplier to “elevate the voices and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community.”

The retailer has done so, she noted, with a particular eye to “our associates and the pet parents we serve, to members of the community and allies.”

As a part of the promotion, PetSmart announced that it is financially supporting the “LGBTQ+ community” with a $200,000 donation to GLSEN, an activist group founded by teachers who “knew that educators play key roles in creating affirming learning environments for LGBTQ youth.”

PetSmart is the latest company to telegraph its woke politics, despite a wave of backlash that has led others to rethink their corporate endoresements of the LGBT agenda.

After being unable initially to resist the siren call to virtue-signal their values, some, like Target and Bud Light, have later tried to placate conservatives, only to find themselves the recipients of threats from radical gay activists outraged by the betrayal.

Word of PetSmart’s campaign prompted some social-media users to declare it the latest addition to a growing list of boycotted companies.

“PetSmart wants your dog to celebrate queers,” Mark Dice, a right-wing commentator, wrote on Truth Social, sharing PetSmart’s customer service number.

“This is unacceptable. Please boycott,” tweeted a Twitter user.

“To @PetSmart – Congratulations! We just added PetSmart to our permanent boycott list,” another added.

‘Dawson’s Creek’ Star Blasts DNC for POTUS Debate Policy: ‘No Debate, No Democracy’

‘Dawson’s Creek’ Star Blasts DNC for POTUS Debate Policy: ‘No Debate, No Democracy’

(Robert Jonathan, Headline USA) Actor James Van Der Beek called out Democrat insiders huddled in a metaphorical smoke-filled room for trying to hand their party’s presidential nomination to Joe Biden without allowing any primary debates and therefore “openly bypassing the will of the people.”

In that context, he also cast doubt on the legitimacy of a second Biden term.

“There’s no debate, there’s no democracy,” the performer, 46, best known for his roles in the TV series Dawson’s Creek and the movie Varsity Blues, summed up. “No primary, no legitimate president.”

He delivered the 3-1/2 minute monologue that initially went viral on TikTok while walking his dogs and pulling his child in a sled.

“I cannot get over the fact that the Democratic National Committee is saying there will not be a debate to decide the nominee for president. Are f***ing kidding me?,” Van Der Beek said at the outset of his remarks.

He underscored Biden’s advanced age that would make him “the oldest sitting president” in American history who could be succeeded, if any health issues occur, by “a vice president whose approval rating is worse than his.”

The actor went on to say about Biden, and the way his handlers protect him, that “This guy has obviously declining mental faculties. You’re putting him up in front of a podium with flashcards telling him who to call on and what the questions are gonna be. And you’re telling us there’s no debate?”

He claimed that nearly three-fourths of Biden 2020 voters want a debate among the Democrat candidates too.

While himself expressing gratitude for the sacrifice of fallen military veterans and their families, Van Der Beek also implied that DNC members were, on Memorial Day, being hypocritical for taking to social media to thanks vets for their service while trying to thwart democracy within the party nomination process.

“I mean, what the hell? How is this a democracy?” he wondered about the way the DNC is orchestrating the Biden re-nomination.

“There are people out there who are willing to die to preserve democracy because you are not preserving democracy right now. You’re shoehorning your pick and forcing it on the rest of us.”

Alluding to Biden announced rivals Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson, he asserted that in some polling, the duo are currently pulling about 25% of the primary vote.

He also seemed to allude to restrictions imposed during the COVID pandemic.

“How do we have a government, how do we have a democracy, if we’re letting a small, little backroom group of people make all the important decisions for us? That’s not a democracy, and it doesn’t work, because y’all have been wrong about a lot these last couple of years in that backroom.”

Van Der Beek conceded that his opinion could be wrong and that a debate “would solve that.”

He also criticized the Democrat establishment for its cozy relationship with big banks, big business, Big Tech, Big Pharma and Big Government, all the while ignoring their voters.

In April, RFK Jr. suggested that Democrats were rigging the primary system.

Conservatives who rush to embrace the rare celebrity who publicly disagrees with the Hollywood leftist narrative sometimes regret it based on subsequent developments.

Instead of reporting largely on the substance of Van Der Beek’s remarks, however, the corporate media is covering the story merely in the context of him winning praise from Fox News.

Violent Leftist Game Has Masked Activists Beating Up ‘COVID Deniers,’ Christians

Violent Leftist Game Has Masked Activists Beating Up ‘COVID Deniers,’ Christians

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) A Brazilian video-game developer released a self-described “satirical” video game featuring rainbow-masked characters battering “fictional” disease deniers, Nintendo Life reported.

Pulling No Punches, an action/adventure and fighting game, was developed by an individual going by the name “BrainDead Broccoli” and published by QUByte Interactive, according to an online overview.

“The game follows the fictional story of a global pandemic that engulfed the world and is being ignored by fanatics who do not believe that the disease is real,” says its Steam page. “It is up to the main characters, 4 common citizens adequately protected with gloves and masks, to deal with these fanatics and solve the situation with the force of their own fists.”

The game features four playable characters—three women and one muscle-bound man wearing a wig, hair bows and a skirt dubbed as “Lola.”

The four masked and gloved characters work their way through hordes of stereotyped “fanatics,” depicted as maskless, zombie-like creatures, some of whom are carrying Bibles.

Players can grab masks for extra lives and perform super moves with “essential workers” or “social distancing.”

The game blames its apocalyptic setting on the “abominable and irrationally fanatic percentage of the population that decided to ignore the safety measures against the spread of the virus, risking everybody else’s lives,” according to an introductory prologue.

“Unfortunately, the only way to deal with these selfish pieces of s**t is by … pulling no punches,” it adds.

 

The gameplay is brutal, complete with graphic depictions of violence, blood and pestilence.

Twitter users pointed out that masked bystanders were often open activists.

According to reviews, the game is a COVID militant’s fantasy of violently thrashing so-called “science deniers,” despite all of the recent news that masking, vaccinations and social distancing were not helpful.

Watchdog group Retraction Watch recently released a report showing at least 330 medical research papers published throughout the pandemic faced retraction due to ethical or scientific shortcomings.

Many of the papers questioned the government-approved narrative, poking holes in the efficacy of masking, social distancing, vaccinations and alternative COVID treatments such as ivermectin as hydroxychloroquine.
