Think-Tank Issues Study on ‘Queerness’ in the Arctic Tundra

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) A globalist think-tank known as the Arctic Institute put out a call for researchers to submit papers observing “heteronormativity” throughout the Arctic tundra.

The group issued the study to assess the role of “queerness and indigenous” identities, arguing that these groups are not seen as a priority in the harsh conditions of the northern region.

According to the Daily Wire, the series of papers, called “Queering the Arctic,” focused mainly on gender identity among the native populations.

“How are queer people in the Arctic challenging well-established systems of heteronormativity? To what extent are they suffering from societal, cultural or structural shortcomings and how are they using their resources to overcome them?” the group asked in a press release.

The release continued, elaborating on the need to find so-called “hope spots” for left-wing advocacy in the far reaches of the Arctic regions.

“With these pointed questions, we want to challenge deficiency-oriented, ethnocentric and neoliberal approaches and invite authors to create a space to identify ‘Hope Spots’ from Indigenous and queer feminist perspectives, may it be artistic, academic, analytical or narrative,” it said.

“Two-spirits,” a person identified as having a masculine and feminine spirit, was mentioned as a particular area of interest for the institute, as an example of “precolonial Indigenous concepts of gender and identity have gained popularity in recent years, and how queer people are taking matters in their own hands yet again.”

The Indian Health Service, an acting agency in the Department of Health and Human Services, also has a vested interest in gender ideology in native communities.

Researchers in the department argue that native tribes accepted transgenderism, as some groups had individuals who “combined the activities of both men and women.”

The Arctic Institute says its goal is to provide “peace, justice, and sustainability for the Arctic” via policy decisions regarding the region’s military, environment, culture and energy security.

Trans-Terrorism Plot Foiled in Colorado Springs

Trans-Terrorism Plot Foiled in Colorado Springs

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A former Colorado Springs high school student, who is also a transgender, has been accused by police of planning a school shooting and bombing.

Investigators found a whiteboard with a layout of the school along with instructions for building homemade bombs at the residence of the transgender, William Whitworth, 19, the Colorado Gazette reported.

Whitworth was arrested by the The Elbert County Sheriff’s Office on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder and other charges. Whitworth admitted to wanting to shoot up a school, the affidavit stated.

 

Specifically, Whitworth planned to target Timberview Middle School, which the suspect reportedly attended for fifth, sixth and seventh grade. Several churches also made the hit list.

The police affidavit listed Whitworth as a male, but the suspect’s sister, who reported her suspicions, referred to her sibling as “Lilly.”

The report also noted that Whitworth was found in bed, drunk, in a room with holes in the wall and trash piled up all around. According to the report, the trash was heaped “so high that it was level with it.”

“[T]here was a hole in the wall beside the bed, and the sheets on the bed that were supposed to be white were stained brown.”

While searching the room and interrogating Whitworth, who “could not stay awake,” investigators also found a manifesto in the residence, listing specifically the names of previous mass shooters.

When the suspect was asked about the motivation behind mass shooting, Whitworth gave no substantive answer.

“No specific reason,” the transgender said.

Whitworth also admitted to being “about a third of the way from doing it,” that is, committing a mass shooting.

Such harrowing stories, however, will likely not bother the Left, which is dead-set on promoting a pro-transgender narrative, despite the recent Nashville shooting that was carried out by a transgender.

Dem. Actress Blasts “Sh**hole” San Fran. after Tech Exec’s Murder

(Headline USA) Actress Sara Foster, daughter of musician and producer David Foster, blasted “s***hole” San Francisco and the city’s “liberal” leadership this week after tech CEO Bob Lee was violently killed in a stabbing.

Lee, a 43-year-old father of two and the co-founder of Cash App, was stabbed to death in San Francisco’s affluent Rincon Hill neighborhood on Tuesday.

“I have no words,” Foster wrote on Twitter. “SF is a complete s***hole. I am a registered Democrat and feel confident saying liberal politicians are ruining cities. Disgusting. My heart breaks for this family.”

This is not the first time Foster has publicly broken with the Democrat Party. Last November, she endorsed Republican mayoral candidate Rick Caruso in the Los Angeles race.

Lee had also publicly denounced the governance of San Francisco, and had even moved his family to Miami just months before the attack.

“He did comment on San Francisco deteriorating,” a former MMA fighter and friend of Lee, Jake Shields, said.

However, San Francisco’s officials have continued to defend their policies, with Democrat Mayor London Breed claiming the city “prioritiz[es] public safety.”

“The police are actively investigating what happened and will share details as soon as they can,” Breed said on Thursday. “San Francisco is prioritizing public safety, including recently passing our budget supplemental so we have the police staffing necessary to have more police officers in our neighborhoods and to investigate violent crimes when they do occur.”

San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins made a similar claim.

“Protecting public safety & holding violent/repeat offenders accountable is a top priority for my administration. We work closely w/ @SFPD & bring forward charges when arrests are made & there is enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty,” she tweeted.

Biden Admin. Plans New Crackdown on Gas-Powered Vehicles

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) President Joe Biden and his EPA administration plan to crack down on all gas-powered vehicles with a new executive branch proposal, placing the most stringent restrictions yet on gas car manufacturers, stopping just shy of an outright ban.

Though the proposal has not yet been published, they are slated to be unveiled next week and insiders suggested that the plan would be more stringent than any prior regulation, according to Bloomberg.

“The proposed standards on cars and light trucks, set to be announced Wednesday in Detroit, are expected to govern tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide, smog-forming nitrogen oxide and other pollution from vehicles manufactured for model years 2027 through 2032,” insiders told Bloomberg.

Major auto manufacturers in the United States have begged the federal government for more time to meet the pollution standards so that they are able to keep up. On the other hand, companies like Tesla have supported the more stringent measures, arguing that without drastic action, the earth cannot be saved.

The EPA and the Biden administration seem increasingly to be siding with Tesla. In March the White House released a statement suggesting that the administration has a “goal of having 50 percent of all new vehicle sales be electric by 2030” through “President Biden’s leadership and historic investments.”

Dan Becker, director of the Center for Biological Diversity’s Safe Climate Transport Campaign, suggested that the pressure on the auto industry is necessary, or major manufacturers will not feel enough urgency to reform.

“There has to be continuous pressure for improvement” in order to stop the industry from reverting back into its old habits.

Democrat Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware also backed the EPA, saying that his state is “America’s tailpipe,” receiving massive air pollution from other states.

Cold War Turning Hot: Leaked Docs Show Western Troops in Ukraine

Cold War Turning Hot: Leaked Docs Show Western Troops in Ukraine

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) In the early days of the Ukraine war last year, President Joe Biden promised not to put U.S. troops on the ground because doing so could spark a “world war.”

However, leaked classified war documents show that the U.S. and NATO are apparently doing just that.

The documents, which are on Twitter and Telegram, state that the U.S. has at least 14 special forces personnel in Ukraine, the U.K. has at least 50, while France, Latvia and the Netherlands also have troops there. The total number of U.S. personnel in Ukraine is 100, according to the documents.

The accuracy of the documents has not been fully confirmed. In an article Thursday, the New York Times reported that the documents are at least particularly authentic, but that they may have been altered by Russia.

“Military analysts said the documents appear to have been modified in certain parts from their original format, overstating American estimates of Ukrainian war dead and understating estimates of Russian troops killed,” the Times reported. “The modifications could point to an effort of disinformation by Moscow.”

However, independent journalist Michael Tracey noted that Biden White House officials have not disputed the records’ claim that U.S. troops are on the ground in Ukraine.

“There’s been no suggestion that this portion of the leaked documents was altered,” Tracey said, referring to the statistics about U.S. and NATO special forces personnel. “The only known claim of image-alteration relates to part of a separate document listing Ukraine/Russia casualty figures. Aside from that, NYT describes the docs as authentic.”

Along with the leaked documents, other reports have confirmed the likelihood that U.S. troops are on the ground in Ukraine—or will be soon.

Indeed, in February Politico revealed that retired U.S. Army LTC Alexander Vindman, who gained fame for helping Democrats impeach President Donald Trump over delaying a Ukrainian arms deal, is now a private contractor seeking to profit from having American boots on the ground in Ukraine.

“The plan is to find 100 to 200 experienced contractors who would travel to Ukraine and embed themselves with small units near the front lines,” Politico reported. “Under the project, called Trident Support, those contractors would in turn teach the Ukrainian troops how to fix their equipment on the fly.”

Moreover, Yahoo News reported in the early days of the Ukraine war that the CIA is overseeing a secret intensive training program in the U.S. for elite Ukrainian special operations forces and other intelligence personnel.

The Intercept reported later in 2022 that CIA and special forces operators are indeed in Ukraine.

According to The Intercept, President Joe Biden notified Congress about the undercover military operations, but he—like most presidents for several decades—has not sought a congressional declaration of war, which the Constitution demands before the executive branch can send troops into a conflict.

And along with having troops on the ground, there’s the likelihood that Biden had U.S. special forces help detonate the Nord Stream pipeline—an act of ecoterrorism against both Russia and Germany.

Meanwhile, the Times reported Thursday that the Biden administration is attempting to have the leaked documents removed from Twitter. The documents were still available on Twitter as of the publication of this article.

Olympic Legend Calls for Nike Boycott over Trans Spokesman

Olympic Legend Calls for Nike Boycott over Trans Spokesman

(Headline USA) Olympic medalist Sharron Davies called for a boycott of Nike this week after the company revealed an advertising partnership with transgender huckster Dylan Mulvaney.

Mulvaney posted multiple photos to social media this week modeling Nike’s women’s sports bras and leggings. The brand deal came just days after Mulvaney revealed Bud Light had designed honorary cans of beer with the trans face on them.

“Nobody really seems to be listening to the general public,” said Davies, the former United Kingdom swimmer. “And that’s what seems to be incredibly frustrating. So, the only way we can actually make these companies and make governments listen is to boycott with our wallet.” 

Davies ripped the Nike advertisement as “literally a kick in the teeth to women,” and called on the public to protest the “total disdain that women are being treated with.”

“In the past, it was always seen as an insult to say, ‘run like a girl’ — and here we’ve got someone behaving in a way that’s very un-sportslike, that’s very unathletic,” she explained. Mulvaney’s videos about womanhood “feel like a parody of what women are,” she added.

Davies pointed out that Mulvaney, as a man, doesn’t even have the need for a bra.

“Like you said, sports bras when there was nothing to put in the sports bra, when it’s really important that all women get proper support when they do sport. It just doesn’t make sense,” she said.

Country music star Travis Tritt similarly announced he would be boycotting all Bud Light and parent company Anheuser-Busch products.

“I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same,” he said. “A great American company that later sold out to the Europeans and became unrecognizable to the American consumer. Such a shame.”

Red-Pilled Liberal Law Prof. Accuses Chat GPT of Defamatory Smear

Red-Pilled Liberal Law Prof. Accuses Chat GPT of Defamatory Smear

(Robert Jonathan, Headline USA) Constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley says he was smeared by the artificial intelligence robot ChatGPT, in an accusation that potentially could ruin the career of anyone working in academia.

Citing a March 2018 Washington Post story, the bot reportedly claimed a female law student claimed that Turley made inappropriate comments to her, as well as advances, during a class trip to Alaska under the auspices of the Georgetown University Law Center.

Turley explained, however, that the “AI-driven defamation” was fake news.

“There are a number of glaring indicators that the account is false. First, I have never taught at Georgetown University. Second, there is no such Washington Post article. Finally, and most important, I have never taken students on a trip of any kind in 35 years of teaching, never went to Alaska with any student, and I’ve never  been accused of sexual harassment or assault.”

Turley, an influential law professor at George Washington University in D.C., told the Post that the invented scandal “was quite chilling” and that “an allegation of this kind is incredibly harmful.”

The issue emerged when as part of a research project, UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh asked the ChatGPT software for five examples of sexual harassment by law professors. Three of the five apparently were false and based on fake, mainstream media articles.

Prof. Turley, a self-described liberal who has earnestly spoken out against the way the Democrats weaponize the legal system against their political opponents, particularly former President Trump, revealed that he has been the recipient of death threats and attempts to get him fired “due to my conservative legal opinions.”

Politically-motivated false claims contained in nonexistent, fabricated news articles as spread or even generated by AI technology takes this vilification to an exponential level, he implied.

In this instance, Turley wondered “why would an AI system make up a quote, cite a nonexistent article and reference a false claim? The answer could be because AI and AI algorithms are no less biased and flawed than the people who program them.”

“Even if people can prove, as in my case, that a story is false, companies can ‘blame it on the bot’ and promise only tweaks to the system,” Turley said.

“The technology creates a buffer between those who get to frame facts and those who get framed. The programs can even, as in my case, spread the very disinformation that they have been enlisted to combat.”

Prof. Volokh also warned about the potential for AI to create chaos in the personal or professional lives of individuals.

He told the Post that “This is going to be the new search engine. The danger is people see something, supposedly a quote from a reputable source … [and] people believe it.”

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (which is currently the subject of a pending U.S. Supreme Court case) protects Internet platforms from most liability lawsuits prompted by user-posted content.

The Post noted, however, that “experts say it’s unclear whether tech companies will be able to use that shield if they were to be sued for content produced by their own AI chatbots.”

Consistent with Silicon Valley ideology, ChatGPT has already been perceived of having a left-wing spin that includes censoring conservative views.

Insofar as the Trump indictment in Manhattan is concerned, Turley described it, among other things, as “legally pathetic.”

Soros DA Fumes as Judge Scraps Plea Deal for Alleged Triple-Murderer

(Headline USA) Pamela Price, the Soros-funded district attorney of Oakland County, California, melted down this week after a district judge rejected her plea deal to let a man convicted of a triple murder off the hook.

Price claimed in a video on Wednesday that Alameda County Superior Court Judge Mark McCannon “overstepped his boundaries as a judicial officer” by rejecting her plea deal, and “created a firestorm of prejudicial comments that do not, in my view, serve justice.”

She accused McCannon of “inappropriate” behavior in court, and said she would be moving to disqualify him.

“The judge is supposed to be an impartial referee managing cases that come before him,” she said. “Because of Judge McCannon’s inappropriate comments and conduct on two separate occasions, my office will file a motion to disqualify him from hearing any criminal cases being prosecuted by our office.” 

Last month, McCannon rejected a plea deal Price brokered for defendant Delonzo Logwood, who was found guilty in the killings of Zaire Washington, Richard Carter and Eric Ford. Price’s deal would have allowed Logwood to plead no contest to voluntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting of Ford, and in exchange, the murder charges for Washington and Carter’s killings would be dropped.

McCannon torched the plea deal in a hearing and rejected Logwood’s attempt at an apology in court.

“You can’t think an apology will make this all better. What are you sorry for if you didn’t do anything?” the judge said.

Despite the judge’s concerns about the plea deal — and despite the concerns of prosecutors within her own office — Price continued to defend it as a necessary criminal justice reform.

“The time for a change in the justice system is now,” she said in the video. “To be perfectly frank, it hasn’t been easy to make changes in this office. There are a lot of rumors buzzing through this community. Much of it simply is not true.”

Dem. Sen. Admits Biden Border Crisis Enables Exploitation of Children

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., admitted this week that the crises of mass illegal immigration leads to the economic exploitation of children.

Hickenlooper described the crisis at the border on Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s José Díaz-Balart Reports.

“[There is] a lot of confusion and there’s been massive change over the last couple of years coming out of the pandemic, coming out of all the problems we’ve had at the border,” he said. “So many of these problems reflect a high volume of kids coming in, unaccompanied.”

He then outlined the next steps he thinks should be taken to manage the crisis in his state.

“[W]e are going to reach out to HHS and look at how do we do a better job of maintaining contact and checking in periodically with these sponsor families,” he said.

Hickenlooper, again, emphasized the problem of unaccompanied minors crossing the border.

“But that makes them [illegals that are children] vulnerable,” he said. “And I think we all have a responsibility to step up and say, alright, what is that ecosystem, what’s the chain of command by which we can make sure these kids are protected?”

Hickenlooper did not appear to call for amnesty for the illegal kids. Indeed, he acknowledged the need of vetting immigrants.

“[illegal children must] go through the adjudication process, while their refugee status or their opportunity to stay permanently in this country — as that goes through the formal paperwork,” he said.

The question, for Hickenlooper, then is not whether illegals should be vetted, though he did not call for better judgements or more scrutiny. He asked a different question.

“How do we make sure they’re not being exploited and abused?” he asked.

Hickenlooper’s argument tracks well with the 25 State Attorneys General that asked SCOTUS to preserve the criminal status of encouraging or inducing illegal immigration in March.

Ariz. Gov. Vetoes Bill Protecting Infants Who Survive Abortion Attempts

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Installed Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed an Arizona bill that aimed to protect babies who survive botched abortions.

According to Hobbs’ administration, the law would “override patient and clinician decision-making in complex and highly personal circumstances,” the Daily Wire reported.

The bill altered an existing law to recognize just-born babies as legal people, endowing them the right to medical care. Additionally, the bill adjusted the wording of the law, changing “fetus” to “infant” and “delivered” to “born alive.”

Abortionists who refused to comply would face legal consequences. Parents or guardians would retain the right to refuse or consent to treatment that would “temporarily prolong the act of dying when death is imminent.”

Arizona Republicans stepped up to defend the bill before and after the veto.

“If a baby is born alive, even if it is sick or troubled, do we make efforts to try to save that person and treat them with the same dignity we would any other human being in our hospitals, or do we leave them on a table to die?’” asked Republican Rep. Justin Heap, in an attempt to sum up the question if a baby survives an abortion. “It is repellent. It is evil.”

The state of Arizona reported 18 babies who survived abortions in 2020 and 2021, out of 400 babies aborted after 21 weeks.

Twitter users responded to the news in shock and outrage at the veto.

“Bill requires medically appropriate and reasonable care and treatment to be given to any baby born alive,” tweeted the president of Center for Arizona Policy, Cathi Herrod. “If death is imminent, parents can refuse the care. Horrific to leave a baby to die w/o reasonable care. Heartless. Cruel. Evil.”

“Just shows further proof of how evil the modern Democrat Party is,” said Tatiana Peña, second vice chair in the Maricopa County Republican Committee. “They have a problem with giving people the basic human right to life and humanity.”

Recently, Hobbs opted to put a hold on executions for criminals on death row within the state as her administration reviews death penalty protocols.
