A fight over circumcision is giving Europe a taste of the new US diplomacy
Topic: Porn, Prostitution, and Sexual Freedom
Source: CNN News
But recent public spats among three US ambassadors and their respective hosts have given Europe a taste of the Trump administration’s firmer, less hushed approach to diplomacy. To Washington, the dustups are the sort of tough love the continent needs. To Europe, they are needless antagonism which violates “basic diplomatic norms.” This week, Bill White, the US ambassador to Belgium, criticized the country for its approach to Jewish ritual circumcision and accused the country of antisemitism. White slammed Belgium’s handling of a case in Antwerp, where three Jewish men who perform ritual circumcision – known as “mohels” – are under judicial investigation after they allegedly carried out procedures without doctors present.

‘queer’ kids need access to porn sites for ‘educational’ reasons. A transgender Minnesota lawmaker ignited an online firestorm after bizarrely arguing against age limits on porn sites — claiming “queer” kids need access to the X-rated content for “educational” purposes. State Rep. Leigh Finke, a two-term Democrat who identifies as a woman, pushed back against a proposal that would require age checks on porn websites to shield children from accessing the raunchy adult material — wildly insisting the bill would be weaponized against the LGBTQ+ community. The pol claimed attorneys general in states with age-verification laws are “almost jubilant” at the chance to block queer kids from explicit content that could “educate” them about their sexuality and community.

...with sex assault crimes after allegations. Federal authorities have declined to charge the husband of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer with crimes related to the alleged sexual assault of two female staffers at the department’s headquarters in Washington, DC, officials and sources told The Post. At least one of the alleged incidents occurred when Dr. Shawn DeRemer was caught on an office security camera giving a prolonged hug to one of the women last December, according to sources. But prosecutors in the DC US Attorney’s Office have declined to file charges after reviewing the video footage. “Based upon the evidence presented to this office in relation to the video, there is no indication of a crime,” a spokesperson for DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said.

...cites daughter’s phone obsession. [Ed: so his failed parenting turns into law imposed on others?] Gov. Gavin Newsom has called for a ban on social media for young teens — citing his own daughter and her phone-obsessed friends as examples of why a clampdown is needed. “I had a birthday party just a few weeks ago, with a lot of my daughter’s friends, and I literally stopped everybody because there were seven of them together — all of them on their cell phone at the birthday party, not one of them talking to each other,” Newsom said Thursday. “We have a generation that’s never been more anxious, less free, more stressed — and we have to address this issue.” Newsom later confirmed to Politico that he supports “age-gating” restrictions that bar teens under 16 from having social media accounts.

Rep. Keith Self delivered remarks contrasting the principles laid out in America’s founding documents with Islamic Sharia law, arguing that the two systems diverge significantly on equality, legal standards, and religious liberty. He said that the concept of equal standing before the law, which is foundational in the United States, does not apply in the same way under Sharia. Self focused in particular on courtroom procedures and the weight given to testimony. In addition to courtroom standards, Self addressed marriage laws. He outlined what he described as differing rights between Muslim men and women when it comes to marrying outside the faith.

Ordered to Pay $750,000 for ‘Hate. Tribunal says Barry Neufeld 'invoked negative and insidious stereotypes' about 2SLGBTQ+ people.

John Cleese Declares “I’m Afraid They are Going to Have to Arrest Me.” In a recent interview, Cleese observed that the government’s new speech standards would classify many citizens, including himself, as presumptive criminals for criticizing certain policies. He observed that”As I am an Islamosceptic, I’m now worried that the Labour government may categorise me as a terrorist…” The government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer has continued its headlong plunge into the criminalization of speech. The guidelines include a section on cultural nationalism, stating that such views are now the subject of government crackdowns. To even argue that Western culture is under threat from mass migration or a lack of integration by certain groups is being treated as a dangerous ideology.

New woke Star Trek show features 'first gay Klingon'
Topic: Gay/Lesbian Issues

Trekkers and Trekkies on X spoke out against the absurdity of taking a Star Trek series and making it about sexual identity. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy features a gay Klingon cadet. The show features a lesbian relationship between a mixed Klingon and Jem'Hadar and Tig Notaro, who plays a teacher at the Academy, as well as a Klingon man who dates a human.
To those who aren't crazy about the warrior race being displayed as gay, Diané says their concerns are just "rooted in homophobia, racism, bigotry." In the Star Trek universe, Klingons are a warrior race who are always ready for a fight and go into battle under the mantra "today is a good day to die."

Democrats Are Obsessed With White Men

You can’t turn around these days without seeing some leftist somewhere whining about white men. As a white man, it seems like every Democrat is an obsessed stalker – it’s enough to make us want to take out a restraining order. I speak for all white men in this piece because, after watching a week’s worth of fawning coverage of the death of Jesse Jackson that glossed over or ignored his racism, affair (oh, the stories I’ve heard) and grifting, I remembered who he simply appointed himself a “leader” and the corporate media crowned him the spokesman for black people, so I’ll take the job for whitey for today.

Ivy League (cough), Columbia University students are learning a hard lesson about their actions and consequences. A recent e-mail, dated February 9, made mention of a location change for Columbia’s commencement ceremonies in the spring. The event, will not happen in the usual location, the Morningside campus’ Low Steps, but at their “pedestrian” (student’s words, not more), Robert K. Kraft Field. Students are not happy. They say they are being “punished”, even. Pure “evil”, they say. This is what happens when you FA, kids. You FO. The thoughts of promoting Hamas and “pure evil” did not even come across their big ol’ brains when they were locking themselves inside of buildings and demanding water and an Uber Eats pizza. ince the days of protest, the University has cracked down on campus security and now requires all guests to be registered for access to the Morningside campus.

A new poll confirms growing public skepticism of these practices—even “when deemed medically necessary.” Transgender issues have become a serious liability for Democrats, according to a new poll by the Substack-based, left-leaning publication The Argument. The poll, which surveyed 3,003 registered voters nationally between February 4 and 10, asked about hot-button policy questions related to gender self-identification, including access to bathrooms, participation in sports teams, teaching gender identity in schools, and the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries on minors. In all those cases, a majority opposed the policies favored by the progressive faction of the Democratic Party. The only area in which a majority supported trans policies was protection from discrimination in housing and employment.

Time To Reopen The Franklin Child Prostitution Case After Epstein Revelations?

The seriousness of a conspiracy can often be quantified by the amount of energy the establishment expends trying to bury it...In Omaha, Nebraska in the 1980s, a child sex abuse scandal was uncovered which involved high profile politicians and business moguls. The central figure, Lawrence King Jr, was a GOP favorite and the manager of the Franklin Federal Credit Union, an institution which would eventually be caught up in an embezzlement investigation. He was accused of hosting lavish parties where minors were sexually abused and ritual occultism was practiced. Victims, often from foster care or a regional Boys Town orphanage, alleged they were tricked into recruitment, then flown to locations like Washington, D.C. for exploitation by high-ranking individuals, including politicians, businessmen, and law enforcement. Key accusers included Alisha Owen, Paul Bonacci, and Troy Boner. They claimed the existence of an elitist network engaged in ritualistic practices, drug use, and coercion.
