Court Upholds Texas Effort to Stop Sexual Content in Front of Children

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that Texas may enforce its law banning sexually oriented performances in the presence of minors, reversing a lower court decision that had blocked the law from taking effect.

The ruling marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battle over Texas Senate Bill 12, which restricts adult-themed performances from being conducted in front of children.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found that the plaintiffs challenging the law failed to demonstrate that they would be directly affected by its enforcement.

The law, signed by Governor Greg Abbott earlier this year, defines a “sexually oriented performance” as a “visual performance” that “(1) features a performer who is nude or engages in sexual conduct, and (2) appeals to the prurient interest in sex.”

Judge Kurt Engelhardt, writing for the panel, concluded that the plaintiffs did not show sufficient grounds to challenge the law.

“None of the Woodlands Pride conduct introduced at trial arguably amounts to a ‘sexually oriented performance,’” Engelhardt wrote.

“Because Woodlands Pride does not intend to engage in conduct that is arguably proscribed by S.B. 12, it does not have standing to seek an injunction.”

The same conclusion applied to another plaintiff, Abilene Pride.

However, the court ruled that 360 Queen Entertainment, a Texas-based drag production company, did have standing to seek an injunction against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton because its performances could potentially fall within the scope of the law.

The court’s opinion noted that because only 360 Queen Entertainment had standing, the case could proceed solely on its claim against Paxton in his official capacity.

“Because the plaintiffs only have standing to assert their claims against the Attorney General, and the Attorney General only has the authority to enforce Section One, the sole remaining issue on appeal is whether the plaintiffs have established that Section One, on its face, violates the First Amendment,” the court stated.

The Fifth Circuit did not reach a final conclusion on whether the law itself violates the First Amendment, remanding the case back to the district court for further consideration.

“The district court did not conduct this analysis, nor did the parties brief the proper standard or adequately develop the record,” the judges wrote.

“Consequently, we are unequipped to undertake this task in the first instance, and remand for the district court to do so.”

Attorney General Paxton praised the decision, saying the ruling vindicated the state’s position that protecting minors from explicit performances is both lawful and necessary.

“At the Attorney General’s urging, the Fifth Circuit rightfully expressed ‘genuine doubt’ regarding plaintiffs’ argument that they had a First Amendment right to stage graphic, sexually explicit performances in front of children,” Paxton’s office said in a statement.

Paxton added, “I will always work to shield our children from exposure to erotic and inappropriate sexually oriented performances.

It is an honor to have defended this law, ensuring that our state remains safe for families and children, and I look forward to continuing to vigorously defend it on remand before the district court.”

Senate Bill 12 was signed into law earlier this year after lawmakers cited concerns about drag performances and other adult-themed events occurring in public spaces accessible to minors.

Opponents of the law argued that it unfairly targets LGBTQ performers and infringes on free expression protected under the First Amendment.

The Fifth Circuit’s decision means that Texas can enforce the law while litigation continues.

The case will return to the lower court for a full review of the constitutional arguments raised by the remaining plaintiff.

The ruling represents another win for state officials defending legislation aimed at restricting explicit performances in settings where children are present.

NBC News Fact-Checked by Its Own Reporting After Calling Kavanaugh’s Attacker a ‘Woman’

NBC News received a Community Note on X after referring to the trans-identified male who attempted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh as a “woman” in a social media post.

The correction came from the platform’s users citing NBC’s own earlier reporting that identified the individual as male.

The would-be assassin, legally identified as Nicholas Roske, was sentenced to more than eight years in prison last week.

Court documents also list Roske as “Sophie Roske,” a name he began using while in custody.

Prosecutors had requested a 30-year sentence, but U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman, who was appointed by Joe Biden, imposed a sentence of slightly more than eight years.

According to court filings, Roske admitted to traveling to Maryland in June 2022 with a firearm, ammunition, a knife, and burglary tools.

Authorities said he intended to kill Justice Kavanaugh at his home in Montgomery County after the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion that would eventually overturn Roe v. Wade.

Roske was arrested near Kavanaugh’s residence after calling 911 and telling police, “I need psychiatric help.”

NBC News posted on X following last week’s sentencing, writing, “A woman who pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh three years ago was sentenced to more than eight years in prison.”

The accompanying article on NBC’s website carried the same phrasing, headlined, “Woman sentenced to 8 years for attempting to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh.”

The post immediately drew criticism from social media users who pointed out that Roske is biologically male and was referred to as such in prior coverage.

The backlash prompted a Community Note to appear under NBC’s post, citing the network’s earlier stories about the case.

The note linked to an April 2025 NBC News report titled, “Man who had gun and knife will plead guilty to trying to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh.”

The comparison between the two headlines was highlighted in the note as evidence of the outlet’s inconsistency.

NBC’s previous reporting also aligned with initial police and court documents, which consistently identified Roske as male.

In June 2022, NBC News published another report headlined, “Man with a gun outside Kavanaugh’s home told 911, ‘I need psychiatric help.’” That report outlined Roske’s confession that he had planned to attack the justice before changing his mind and surrendering.

Social media users widely circulated screenshots of NBC’s earlier articles alongside the recent post, pointing out that the network’s shift in language appeared to contradict its own documented reporting.

The Community Notes feature on X, introduced under the platform’s community moderation system, allows users to add context to posts deemed misleading or incomplete.

In this case, the note clarified that Roske is a biological male and that NBC News had previously referred to him as such.

As of Monday, NBC had not amended the headline on its website or issued a public correction. The sentencing, which took place last week in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland, closes a case that drew nationwide attention when it first broke in 2022 amid heightened security concerns surrounding Supreme Court justices.

Court records show that Roske pleaded guilty in 2023 to attempting to assassinate a U.S. judge.

Prosecutors cited the seriousness of the crime and Roske’s stated intent when recommending a longer prison term.

Judge Boardman’s decision to issue a reduced sentence has also generated renewed debate over how politically motivated threats against public officials are handled in federal court.

The NBC News post remains live on X, with the Community Note still visible beneath it.

Mainstream Media Goes All In On Woke Pronouns Over Kavanaugh’s Would-Be Assassin

Corporate media outlets drew criticism over the weekend for describing the would-be assassin of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh as a woman after the defendant received an eight-year prison sentence.

Nicholas Roske, who now goes by the name Sophia, was sentenced to eight years in prison on Friday after being found guilty of plotting an assassination, according to the sentencing order.

Prosecutors had recommended a 30-year sentence.

Reports and social media posts from several outlets described Roske as female.

NBC News posted on X: “A woman who pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh three years ago was sentenced to more than eight years in prison.” The phrasing prompted immediate pushback online.

Libby Emmons, editor-in-chief of The Post Millennial, responded on X that news reports failed to accurately identify Roske’s sex.

“NBC News should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Nicholas Roske was no ‘woman’ when he showed up to murder Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and he’s no woman now,” she commented.

Other outlets used similar language in initial headlines or coverage.

CBC published, “California woman sentenced to more than 8 years over plot to kill Supreme Court justice.”

A Fox News contributor on air used “she” and “her” when referring to Roske after the sentencing.

CNN headlined its story, “Person who admitted to trying to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh is sentenced to more than 8 years in prison,” and in the body of the article wrote that Roske “identifies as a woman.”

The sentence was delivered by U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman, a judge appointed during the Biden-Harris administration.

Court filings showed prosecutors sought 30 years. The final judgment imposed eight years in prison.

The case drew renewed national attention as the Trump administration signaled plans to appeal the sentence.

The written order accompanying the sentence described the conduct and intent at issue in the case.

“The defendant’s actions and intent — which were determined, focused, and undeterred for months — were extremely dangerous to the lives of multiple sitting judges, their family members, and the Constitutional judicial order.”

The court’s filing further stated, “The sentence imposed in this case must send the powerful message, both to the defendant and to others who contemplate committing assassination to obstruct judicial independence, that these ends never justify the means and that the consequences are not worth engaging in these acts.”

Roske’s case stems from a 2022 plot targeting Justice Kavanaugh at his Maryland residence.

Authorities said the defendant traveled with a firearm and other items and contacted emergency services before being taken into custody near the justice’s home. Subsequent proceedings resulted in a conviction and Friday’s sentencing.

The reaction to coverage centered on how legacy outlets described Roske’s gender identity and whether headlines and captions clearly conveyed the facts of the case.

Critics said the use of female descriptors was misleading given Roske’s sex at birth and the details of the 2022 incident. Supporters of the language noted that some outlets opted for gender-neutral terms such as “person,” while others reported that Roske identifies as a woman.

The eight-year sentence contrasted with the government’s request for a longer term. While prosecutors argued that the planning and stated intent warranted a 30-year sentence, the court concluded that eight years, followed by supervision, was appropriate based on the record.

The order emphasized deterrence and the protection of judicial independence in setting the penalty.

As of the weekend, outlets updated some headlines and social posts while retaining references to Roske’s stated gender identity within articles.

The case remains under public scrutiny due to the target — a sitting Supreme Court justice — and the ongoing debate over language used in crime reporting.

Officials did not release new details on additional conditions of confinement.

Further filings related to any appeal are expected to be made through the standard docketing process.

VA Dems’ Mental Gymnastics Somehow Blame Winsome Sears for Racist Sign Against Her

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears, the Republican gubernatorial candidate this year, addressed the Arlington County School Board in Northern Virginia last week amid controversy over a protest sign displayed at the meeting and subsequent criticism directed at her.

The meeting followed an incident at a local high school in which a sex offender used the girls’ locker room while claiming to be transgender.

The gathering drew a large crowd, including demonstrators carrying signs.

One sign read, “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.”

Democratic officials in Arlington denounced the sign and said the individual was not affiliated with their organizations.

The Arlington County Democratic Committee, Equality Arlington, and the Arlington Gender Identity Alliance each issued statements condemning the message and distancing themselves from the protester.

“The individual responsible is not affiliated with us, and we acted quickly to alert the rally’s organizers and ensure the situation was addressed appropriately,” Arlington Democrats posted on Friday.

“Racism and discrimination of all forms — including Republican attacks on our transgender community — have no place in Arlington.”

Rep. Abigail Spanberger also criticized the sign in a statement quoted by ARLNow.

“Many Virginians remember the segregated water fountains (and buses and schools and neighborhoods) of Virginia’s recent history,” Spanberger wrote on Friday morning.

“And no matter the intended purpose or tone and no matter how much one might find someone else’s beliefs objectionable, to threaten a return of Jim Crow and segregation to a Black woman is unacceptable. Full stop.”

The Arlington GOP pointed to a November 2023 Facebook post by Arlington Democrats that appears to show the woman who held the sign volunteering as a poll greeter during that election cycle.

Conservative critics also noted that the protester, an older white woman, wore a shirt bearing the logo of We of Action (WofA), a group involved in “No Kings” protests in Arlington ahead of the D.C. military parade in June.

In a statement on its Virginia website, WofA said: “We of Action (WofA) unequivocally condemn the racist sign displayed at the Arlington Public School Board meeting. The words on that sign were unacceptable, deeply harmful, and stand in direct opposition to everything that our organization represents.”

The organization said the protester is no longer affiliated with the group and was never part of its leadership.

Democratic political consultant Ben Tribbett criticized the decision to hold a rally at an event attended by Sears but not by Rep. Spanberger.

“It reflects on everyone in the party really badly, all the way up [to] our candidates that have nothing to do with it and are now taking the brunt of this pushback — because the Arlington Democrats decided that they could go handle the messaging of a statewide campaign more effectively than the statewide candidate,” he said.

Tribbett also criticized organizers for not intervening immediately and linked the episode to broader concerns he has raised about local party operations.

Sears’ appearance at the school board meeting was focused on the locker room incident that preceded the protest.

The sign at the rally drew immediate attention from attendees and from officials who later issued public statements.

Organizers present at the event emphasized that the message on the placard did not reflect their groups’ positions.

The controversy continued as political discussion broadened beyond the sign to statements about Sears.

She was later accused of antisemitism for using the phrase “elitist cabal.”

Supporters of Sears rejected the accusation, while opponents cited the language as objectionable.

The incident and the ensuing statements from elected officials and local organizations have become a subject of debate in the ongoing statewide campaign.

Arlington Democrats reiterated that the individual with the sign had no affiliation with their group and said they acted to address the situation during the rally.

WofA emphasized that the protester is no longer connected to the organization.

Republican officials highlighted the 2023 election-day images tying the protester to local Democratic activity, while Democratic voices, including Spanberger and Tribbett, condemned the sign and questioned the handling of the event.

As the campaign season progresses, both parties have pointed to the incident to underscore broader arguments about conduct at public meetings and political messaging around school and community issues.

No additional disciplinary actions were announced by organizers regarding the protester, and no further details were provided by the school board about changes to meeting procedures following the event.

CNN’s Slavery Spin Gets Real-Time Fact Check From Jillian Michaels

A CNN segment linking the history of the global slave trade primarily to white Europeans drew sharp criticism this week from conservative commentator Jillian Michaels, who disputed the network’s framing during a live panel discussion.

The exchange began when the panel addressed claims that President Donald Trump is attempting to “rewrite history” by directing public schools and private universities to alter their curricula or face potential federal investigations.

The directives include new guidelines on how slavery is discussed in classrooms.

Michaels challenged the segment’s implication that white Europeans were the chief drivers of the global slave trade.

“Did you know that less than two percent of white Americans owned slaves?” she asked, prompting immediate pushback from other panelists.

She argued that the network’s portrayal ignored the broader historical context.

“Do you realize that slavery is thousands of years old?” Michaels continued.

She pointed out that white colonial Americans were “the first race” to make efforts to end slavery during their lifetimes.

CNN host Abby Phillip responded, “Jillian, I’m surprised you’re trying to litigate who was the beneficiary of slavery.”

Michaels replied, “I’m not. What I’m saying is you cannot… Every single thing is because ‘oh no, white people bad,’ and that’s just not the truth.”

Michaels also referenced historical accounts noting that slavery in Africa predated European involvement by thousands of years.

Citing conservative commentator Benny Johnson, she noted that slavery existed in Africa for roughly 4,700 years before European traders arrived.

She also pointed out that ancient societies such as the Egyptians and Mesopotamians engaged in slavery, and referenced historical claims that slave trading was prominent in various non-European cultures.

“He’s not whitewashing slavery,” Michaels said, referring to President Trump.

“And you cannot tie imperialism and racism and slavery to just one race, which is pretty much what every single exhibit does. When you make every single exhibit about white imperialism when it isn’t relevant at all, that is a problem.”

President Trump’s directive, titled “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling,” was issued early in his term.

According to a White House fact sheet, the order aims to “instill a patriotic admiration for our incredible Nation and the values for which we stand.”

Critics contend that the initiative could remove or reduce coverage of slavery in American history, while supporters argue it broadens the historical conversation to include the institution’s global origins and long-standing presence in many civilizations.

In Virginia, debates over how slavery and race are taught remain a central issue.

The state has been a focal point for parents concerned about the introduction of anti-racism curricula in public schools.

Governor Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, campaigned on increasing parental input in education policy and on limiting instructional approaches that some parents believe foster guilt or negative self-perceptions in students based on race.

The discussion on CNN highlighted the ongoing national debate over how slavery’s history is taught, the scope of historical narratives, and the role of race in shaping those narratives.

Michaels’ comments underscored a growing divide between those advocating for a more global and historical view of slavery and those emphasizing its specific legacy in American history.

NFL Teams under Fire for “Woke” Cheerleader Changes to the Upcoming Season

NFL fans are voicing frustration after the league confirmed that a record 12 teams will feature male cheerleading squads during the 2025–2026 season.

The decision has prompted threats from some season ticket holders to cancel their memberships, citing dissatisfaction with the league’s direction.

The addition of male cheerleaders comes amid ongoing debate over gender roles in sports entertainment.

Supporters of the move have praised it as inclusive, while critics argue it contradicts the NFL’s prior efforts to scale back political or social commentary during games.

The Minnesota Vikings have drawn significant attention after introducing an all-male cheerleading division led by Blaize Shiek and Louie Conn.

Former NFL player Antonio Brown criticized Shiek in a social media post using an anti-gay slur, prompting Shiek to respond, “See you at 3.”

In New Orleans, the Saints announced that 13 men will join their 2025 Saints Cheer Krewe Roster, while three women were dismissed from the squad.

The Saints’ decision adds them to the list of teams with male dancers, which also includes the Panthers, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Colts, Titans, Patriots, 49ers, Eagles, Rams, and Ravens.

The expansion follows a steady increase in male cheerleader participation in the NFL since 2018. In the 2024 season, seven teams had male cheerleaders.

This year’s roster marks the largest presence to date, and the change has been met with divided reactions among fans.

Social media criticism has been widespread.

One X user wrote, “Yet another reason why I stopped watching the nfl.”

Another commented, “Which 20 don’t have any? Time for a new team.” A third added, “I have never been so triggered in my life.”

Following strong reactions from their fanbase, the Minnesota Vikings issued a statement defending their selection of Shiek and Conn.

“While many fans may be seeing male cheerleaders for the first time at Vikings games, male cheerleaders have been part of previous Vikings teams and have long been associated with collegiate and professional cheerleading,” the team told the Daily Mail.

“In 2025, approximately one third of NFL teams have male cheerleaders. Every member of the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders program has an impressive dance background and went through the same rigorous audition process. Individuals were selected because of their talent, passion for dance, and dedication to elevating the game day experience. We support all our cheerleaders and are proud of the role they play as ambassadors of the organization.”

Until recently, the NFL had signaled a shift away from high-profile social justice displays.

After the 2020 death of George Floyd, the league incorporated on-field messages and performances tied to anti-racism themes, but many of those initiatives have since been scaled back.

In 2023, the NFL stopped playing the “black national anthem” before games following negative fan responses, and messaging in end zones was removed.

With the 2025 season approaching, the expanded use of male cheerleaders marks a notable change in the league’s game day presentation — one that has already sparked significant debate among NFL fans.

ER Nurse Gleeful About Traumatic Injuries Among Trump-Voting Patients

Nursing began in the convents and priories of medieval England, and for most of its history has been intertwined with the religious vocation of Catholic nuns. Our modern and thoroughly secular nursing profession bears little resemblance to this original version, and it’s not just technology in medicine that has changed. 

The dancing TikTok nurses, the authoritarian gorgons in blue scrubs and face masks preventing families from holding the hands of dying loved ones during the Covid “pandemic” are about as distant from Florence Nightingale as you can get. |

Western people got a look at this difference during the “pandemic,” finding themselves bossed around, looked down on, or even deprived of essential care by doctors and nurses who had gone hysterical about vaccine status. This article in BMC Medical Ethics seems almost sympathetic to medical professionals who refused to treat patients who would not submit to the experimental vaccines. 

“Moral dilemmas have arisen concerning whether physicians and other providers should treat patients who have declined COVID vaccination and are now sick with this disease. Several ethicists have argued that clinicians have obligations to treat such patients, yet providing care to these patients has distressed clinicians, who have at times declined to do so.”

For the first time, patients began to understand that doctors and nurses are not immune to sadism. And these people haven’t gone anywhere. They’re still in the profession. And the end of the so-called pandemic has not moderated their animosity to patients; they’ve just found another reason to hate them. 

Even after all we’ve seen, it’s astonishing to witness a nurse like this one openly deride patients who voted for Donald Trump. Making fun of them in public social media videos is bad enough. But this woman took delight in suggesting that she’d let trauma patients go untreated in the emergency room since they had it coming for being Trump voters. 

“I just found a way to combine my MAGA-hating with my work in the ER,” she says, dripping with sarcasm.

Listen to the rest:

Churches Legally Allowed to Endorse Political Candidates, Says IRS

Caleb Oquendo from Pexels

The IRS ruled Monday that churches and other tax-exempt nonprofit houses of worship are allowed to endorse political candidates to their congregation.

The decision by the IRS comes as a result of a lawsuit filed by two churches and the National Religious Broadcasters (linked below), changing the tax code and essentially upending the previous Johnson Amendment, according to The Hill.

The ruling is yet another major win for religious freedoms across America, ending yet another limitation placed on churches in engaging in a political system that directly impacts all people of faith.

What Are Churches Allowed To Do?

The IRS stated in the filing that: “Bona fide communications internal to a house of worship, between the house of worship and its congregation, in connection with religious services, do neither of those things, any more than does a family discussion concerning candidates.”

The IRS has rarely enforced any rulings related to endorsing political candidates. At least 18 churches have endorsed various political candidates in recent years and absolutely nothing happened to them, likely because any lawsuit that could be filed in this type of situation would have led to exactly the result we see this week.

Freedom Of Religion & The First Amendment

Any prohibitions to endorsing political candidates would have created “serious tension” with the First Amendment, the IRS added.

“For many houses of worship, the exercise of their religious beliefs includes teaching or instructing their congregations regarding all aspects of life, including guidance concerning the impact of faith on the choices inherent in electoral politics,” the IRS stated.

California Found To Have Violated Title IX By Discriminating Against Women And Girls

Sheila Fitzgerald / Shutterstock.com

The Department of Education (DOE) found in late June that California violated Title IX by discriminating against female athletes based on their gender.

The DOE was investigating California’s state-based DOE and the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) based on allegations its members and leadership violated federal law by allowing athletes to compete in athletic events under their so-called “gender identity” rather than their actual biological sex, according to JustTheNews.

“Although Governor Gavin Newsom admitted months ago it was ‘deeply unfair’ to allow men to compete in women’s sports, both the California Department of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation continued as recently as a few weeks ago to allow men to steal female athletes’ well-deserved accolades and to subject them to the indignity of unfair and unsafe competitions,” Education Sec. Linda McMahon said in a statement shared by the Education Department. “The Trump Administration will relentlessly enforce Title IX protections for women and girls, and our findings today make clear that California has failed to adhere to its obligations under federal law. The state must swiftly come into compliance with Title IX or face the consequences that follow.”

Resolution Agreement

The DOE Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued a proposed Resolution Agreement to California’s DOE and CIF to resolve the violation, offering both entities the opportunity to “voluntarily agree to change these unlawful practices within 10 days or risk imminent enforcement action, including referral to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for proceedings,” the statement continues.

The Resolution Agreement requires:

1. The CDE will issue a Notice to all recipients of federal funding (Recipients) that operate interscholastic athletic programs in California requiring them to comply with Title IX. This will specify that Title IX and its implementing regulations forbids schools from allowing males from participating in female sports and from occupying female intimate facilities, and that Recipients must adopt biology-based definitions of the words ‘male’ and ‘female’;

2. The CDE will issue a Notice advising Recipients that any interpretation of California state law conflicting with the Department’s Resolution Agreement is preempted by federal law under Title IX;

3. The CDE and CIF will rescind any guidance that advised local school districts or CIF members to permit male athletes to participate in women’s and girls’ sports to reflect that Title IX preempts state law when state law conflicts with Title IX;

4. CDE will require all Recipients, including CIF, to restore to female athletes all individual records, titles, and awards misappropriated by male athletes competing in female competitions;

5. To each female athlete to whom an individual recognition is restored, CDE will send a personalized letter apologizing on behalf of the state of California for allowing her educational experience to be marred by sex discrimination; and

6. The CDE will require each Recipient and CIF to submit to CDE an annual certification that the Recipient and CIF have complied with Title IX. Accordingly, CDE will also propose to OCR a Monitoring Plan to ensure that Recipients are fully complying with Title IX.

    Will Newsom’s State Comply?

    While it was news to most that Newsom said anything regarding how deeply unfair and immoral it is to allow mentally ill young men to compete in women’s sports, we’ve already seen him blatantly backtrack on this statement — proving that he is not interested in medical science, nor the rights of women and girls throughout his state.

    Within hours of the DOE’s ruling, his press office shared a meme of McMahon from her days running WWE. “Secretary McMahon is confusing government with her WrestleMania days — dramatic, fake, and completely divorced from reality. This won’t stick,” his press office noted in an earlier post, suggesting that Newsom is once again saying whatever he thinks is best for the future of his political career at that exact moment in time, and not considering the long-term consequences of his actions or statements.

    Newsom Is Anti-Women’s Rights

    “Newsom’s joke is not going over so well on social media, with many people and women’s rights groups pointing out that the clip is of a man physically overpowering a woman,” the National News Desk reported.

    California may be a hotbed for championing women’s rights to kill their unborn children, it does not appear that Newsom and his fellow leaders are willing to admit that allowing mentally ill young men to compete in women’s sports has destroyed all progress made by women over the last fifty or so years.

    The state has also been a national leader in allowing many felony offenses to be reduced to misdemeanors, making it easier for criminals to target the most vulnerable citizens — often women and children. In 2021, the state released a spate of violent criminals early, and planned similar releases in 2024 despite massive public backlash. Many of those released early went back to prison, proving that “soft on crime” policies actually just make it easier to commit crimes. The main reasons people were returned to prisons were: “illegally possessing a gun (14% of all cases), assault (10%), and burglary (9%). Vehicle theft, second-degree robbery and domestic abuse each accounted for about 4 to 5% of offenses,” according to CalMatters.

    Black Woman “Not Touching You”, Also Not Paying Airport Parking Fee

    Social media has brought a world of wonder into our eyes and ears. We’re learning about things we never would have known existed otherwise. Just open up Twitter or TikTok, and you can get a social sampler platter in five minutes including tranny men in heels asking if they pass as a woman, irritating 19-year-old liberal women with enough metal in their faces to kill a PET scan operator, or, occasionally, wholesome shorts about how best to knock down dominoes with Legos. 

    One of the most popular genres of social media videos you might call “I’m Black And I Ain’t Do Nuffin’.” The behavior will be familiar to parents who’ve had to break up the “I’m not touching you” game in the back seat of a car. Remember how you used to torment your sister by putting your fingers right next to her on the seat and when she complained, you’d say “I’m not touching you!”?

    Except in these videos, the black Americans are doing much more than annoying a sibling. Most of the videos depict a confrontation in a retail store, or a traffic stop. What generally happens: Some black patron in a store behaves rudely or suspiciously, and they absolutely refuse to leave under any circumstances. They won’t leave when the manager tells them to. They won’t leave when the police are called and order them out of the store. All the while, they play toddler games. They pretend they don’t know why they were asked to leave, they repeat the same sentences over and over again (‘Why you arresting me? Why you arresting me?’ etc.), apparently thinking that being irritating is going to make the cops just walk away. 

    Here’s a typical such video, with a typical ending featuring arrest and handcuffs:

    Transportation themes are often featured. In this example, a black woman who had parked her car at an airport, took a trip, and when she returned, she would not pay the attendant the $144 fee she racked up. Oh, the customer claimed that she was going to pay, and that people just needed to give her a minute. But she was just trying inartfully to distract the attendant, and later the cops, from the fact that she was going to try to make a break for it and drive off. 

    The video picks up once the cops are there. The woman pretends she can’t understand a simple command to put her car in ‘park.’ She leaves it in neutral, apparently in hopes that her car would roll over the officer’s foot. It escalates from there. You have to watch a few minutes to believe the gall this woman displayed.

    Happily, the offender was arrested, but only after wasting 40 minutes of police time. You wonder why the cops put up with it for ⅔ of an hour instead of hauling her right to jail. Oh, that’s right–enforcing the law against black Americans often results in fake claims of racist abuse that the police have to deal with. 

    Let’s see what the public thinks. 

    Of course, there are always a few people who play the “but she’s not touching him!” game, and claim that enforcing the law is severe and so unjust!

    It’s the cop’s fault, see? He should have spent 60 minutes instead of just 40 “de-escalating.”
