The Israeli government is facing pressure for not doing enough to retrieve hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in Tel Aviv to protest on Sunday, while widespread labour strikes are planned for the rest of the week.

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis took to the streets of Tel Aviv on Sunday, demanding their government agree to a ceasefire in order to secure a hostage return deal with Hamas.

The protests were sparked after the bodies of six captives were recovered by Israeli Defence Force (IDF) soldiers from underground tunnels in southern Gaza on Saturday.

Forensic examinations conducted by Israel’s health ministry suggest they were killed 48–72 hours before being found.

War in Ukraine is “serfs killing serfs” claims Ukraine anarchists that advocate desertion – Indybay

Go to Article
Excerpt:

“Since the morning of August 6, when Ukrainian troops broke through the border and occupied some border settlements in the Kursk region of Russia, debates have not subsided about the meaning and consequences of this sortie from a military-political point of view. The end of the battles for this territory are still far away. At the moment, it is only clear that such an attack against the backdrop of the collapsing Ukrainian defense in the Donetsk region came as a complete surprise to many.

In particular, the focus of attention during the battles for the Kursk region was on the border gas metering station in Sudzha (Suja), through which Russian gas is supplied to Europe. Its continued work despite hostilities around it became another symbol of the fact that war is war but international business continues as usual. From the posts of Netherlands-based Donetsk emigrant Andrey Shokotko:

“Dutch families will be warm this winter. With full gas reserves, the chances of an extreme increase in energy bills are limited.” Thanks to Zelensky and Putin, whose reliable partnership (so brilliantly confirmed in Sudzha) does not allow us in Europe to freeze. But it is not entirely clear – why do they send their serfs to kill each other? And why do slaves, knowing about the Russian-Ukrainian business partnership, go to kill each other?

Rumble CEO Flees Europe as Free Speech Under Attack in U.S. and Globally

The recent events involving the arrest of Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, and the subsequent flight of Chris Pavlovski, CEO of Rumble, from Europe, underscore a troubling trend in the global battle over free speech, particularly in the digital age. These incidents are emblematic of the growing tension between governments and social media platforms that refuse to bow to demands for content censorship. This issue has profound implications for the future of free speech, both online and offline, and raises critical questions about the balance between regulation and freedom in democratic societies.

Republican AGs Warn Apple About Entrepreneur Program That Excludes White, Asian Men – The Daily Wire

Excerpt from The Daily Wire

A coalition of 14 Republican attorneys general warned Apple on Wednesday that its “discriminatory” entrepreneur programs excluding white and Asian men may be illegal.

Led by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, the Republican officials sent a letter to Apple after it opened up applications last week for its “Entrepreneurship Camp” exclusively for minorities and women. The letter, addressed to Apple Senior Vice President Katherine Adams, says that the application stipulations may violate federal discrimination law.

“Apple should abandon this wrong-headed and exclusionary approach. As it stands, the program reflects a troubling fixation on race and sex — and looks to run afoul of anti-discrimination laws. While supporting up-and-coming developers may be a laudable goal, this harmful strategy is not the way to do it,” the attorneys general wrote.

Biden-Harris Department of Energy Official Pushes for ‘Queering Nuclear Weapons’ as a Component of a Radical DEI Strategy– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt from conservativeroof.com

In February 2024, Sneha Nair was appointed as a special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration by the Biden-Harris administration.

For the past several months, Nair has been working tirelessly to “eradicate white supremacy” and believes “queering nuclear weapons” will enhance the protection of nuclear energy facilities in the U.S.

“Finally, queer theory informs the struggle for nuclear justice and disarmament,” Sneha Nair wrote last year. “Queer theory helps to shift the perception of nuclear weapons as instruments for security by telling the hidden stories of displacement, illness, and trauma caused by their production and testing.”

Sneha Nair emphasized that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is essential to ensuring security.

“By understanding DEI as a set of values critical to security, and therefore as an element of an effective nuclear security culture, stakeholders can explore how DEI can contribute to stronger security at nuclear facilities,” she said.

Michigan Jury Finds Seven Guilty Of FACE Act Violation– thefederalist.com

Excerpt from thefederalist.com

The Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to hound pro-life activists who go to abortion businesses and try to convince pregnant women not to kill their babies.

A Detroit, Michigan, jury found seven pro-lifers guilty Tuesday of engaging in a civil rights conspiracy and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for standing and sitting in front of the door of the Northland Family Planning Clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Aug. 27, 2020.

The 1994 Clinton-era FACE Act makes it a federal crime to intimidate or interfere with someone getting an abortion. Combined with the conspiracy charge the DOJ has added to recent FACE charges, the combined convictions carry a penalty of up to 11 years and up to $250,000 in fines. In this case, the conspiracy was about posting and live-streaming the group’s actions on social media.

According to the DOJ indictment, those convicted in this case sat in front of the abortion business’ door and refused to move when women tried to get inside. Later, the police asked them to move and they did not move until they were arrested.

The Democrat Party has pro-life members.

They’ve tolerated their party’s abortion worship, but the abortion van at the DNC might be the last straw:

“They’re degrading human life and women for that matter. It’s just absolutely disgusting. This continued celebration of abortion,” Democrats For Life of America executive director Kristen Day told Fox News Digital.

Day is appalled that Planned Parenthood is offering free abortions inside a “mobile health clinic” parked in Chicago during the convention. Pro-abortion activists also marched through the streets of Chicago ahead of the convention.

“I think this convention is going to be abortion-palooza. In response to them providing abortions, we would provide actual support to women in need. So, we started a diaper drive,” Day said.

Harley Davidson Backs Down from DEI Lurch

After being exposed for supporting DEI policies within its company, and financially supporting far-left organizations, Harley Davidson has issued a statement claiming to have disavowed themselves of DEI policies. They’ve also claimed they will re-evaluate the organizations they support and seek to be more representative of the community they serve.

The company claimed, “… we have not operated a DEI function since April 2024, and we do not have a DEI function today. We do not have hiring quotas and we no longer have supplier diversity spend goals… “We remain committed to listening to all members of our community.”

Harley-Davidson said Monday that it’s ending diversity and other progressive initiatives at the company. Harley-Davidson is the latest major American brand to backtrack from DEI policies it had supported in recent years.

Harley-Davidson faced pressure online from Robby Starbuck, a conservative activist who has successfully taken on DEI policies at several American companies.

“We are saddened by the negativity on social media over the last few weeks, designed to divide the Harley-Davidson community,” the company wrote in a statement posted on X.

The company added that “we have not operated a DEI function since April 2024, and we do not have a DEI function today. We do not have hiring quotas and we no longer have supplier diversity spend goals.”

But the company said it would review all sponsorships and outside organizations the company affiliates with, and the company will establish a central clearinghouse for approvals of those relationships. It also suggested it would drop some sponsorships, including LGBTQ+ Pride festivals, saying the brand going forward would focus exclusively on growing the sport of motorcycling. Harley-Davidson, based in Milwaukee, had previously been a longtime corporate member of the Wisconsin LBGT Chamber of Commerce.

Rep. Chip Roy, chairman of the subcommittee on the Constitution and limited government, is calling on FBI Director Christopher Wray to explain discrepancies between his testimony to Congress and Justice Department prosecution data.

Wray testified to Congress on July 24 that the FBI has focused more attention on pro-abortion violence against pro-life facilities since the overturn of Roe v. Wade.

“Since the Dobbs decision,” he said, “actually, more of our abortion-related violent extremism investigations have focused on violence against pro-life facilities as opposed to the other way around.”

Roy, a Texas Republican, reminded Wray in a Monday letter that since January 2021, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has charged 24 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act cases against 55 defendants, according to DOJ data first reported by The Daily Caller.

America’s taxpayer-funded abortion giant, Planned Parenthood, has joined itself to the Democratic Party in a “bloody wedding” of “intrinsic evil,” according to the American Life League. STOPP, the organization’s Planned Parenthood watchdog group, released the statement in response to Planned Parenthood Great Rivers of St. Louis’ announcement that they’ve sent a bus to Chicago to provide free chemical abortions, vasectomies, and contraceptives outside of the Democratic National Convention.

“Planned Parenthood has long been the driving force behind the culture of death,” stated Judie Brown, President of the American Life League. “The Democratic party has been at the forefront of fueling the Planned Parenthood engine. Now that PP has chosen to provide free child killing at the DNC, the combination, or should we say bloody wedding, is complete. Let buyers beware lest they too become part of the national bloodbath. America is awash in the carnage.”

As the only international organization solely dedicated to putting Planned Parenthood out of business, STOPP reports regularly on the finances and inner workings of America’s largest abortion vendor.

Will FTC Force Businesses to Set Special Prices for Special Races?

pgnewser August 19, 2024 0

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has injected itself into a topic that one conservative commissioner is warning could set a precedent that leads businesses to effectively begin discriminating against white people for fear of being fined by the FEC for “discriminatory” pricing.

While the conservative commissioner, Melissa Holyoak, agreed that a business overpricing a community based on race was a violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, she warned that the reason for ruling against the impending company is what will set a dangerous precedent.

She claimed “[N]o matter how well-intended, broad standards of liability under disparate impact theories can backfire — particularly ones that seek to regulate the entire American economy — creating risks of unlawful race-based practices. The solution to our Nation’s racial problems cannot come from policies grounded in affirmative action or some other conception of equity. Racialism simply cannot be undone by different or more racialism.”

Excerpt from slaynews.com

Lame-duck President Joe Biden’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has just issued a new decision that could force businesses across the country to comply with the Democrats’ radical diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda.

One Republican commissioner is warning that the rule could “inject” DEI practices in companies that offer price-varied goods and services nationwide….

However, Holyoak said that the majority also tacked on a “superfluous” violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act.

This move could have a “pernicious” effect on American businesses in the future, Holyoak warns.

“[N]o matter how well-intended, broad standards of liability under disparate impact theories can backfire — particularly ones that seek to regulate the entire American economy — creating risks of unlawful race-based practices,” Holyoak said.

“The solution to our Nation’s racial problems cannot come from policies grounded in affirmative action or some other conception of equity,” she added.

“Racialism simply cannot be undone by different or more racialism.”

She was citing the recent Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.

That case outlawed race-based considerations in higher-ed admissions policies.

Holyoak explained that “absent Congressional authorization, the Commission should not attempt to broaden the FTC’s unfairness consumer protection authority into a comprehensive civil rights authority — a new standard of liability that may have unintended and pernicious consequences.”

SCOTUS Stops Trans Invasion of Girls’ Sports

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Biden administration’s use of Title IX to force schools to let males presenting as females in their sports, their bathrooms, their locker rooms, and their showers will not be allowed to become effective. The ruling sends the matter back to the courts and suspends Biden’s rule until the matter is legally resolved.

‘For female students everywhere from preschool to graduate school – today is a day for celebration,’ attorney says 

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled unanimously in support of two federal court injunctions in 10 Republican-led states barring implementation of the Biden administration’s new pro-transgender Title IX rewrite while the issues is hashed out in court.

It also ruled 5-4 to reject a request from the Education Department to partially enforce its Title IX rewrite, with the majority stating it’s too hard to parse out the uncontested regulations with the wildly controversial pro-transgender policies.

The new “Biden Rule,” released in April, added gender identity to Title IX, thus allowing female-identifying men into women’s bathrooms and requiring others to address them with their preferred pronouns — alongside other provisions unrelated to transgender issues.

An anti-affirmative action group filed a civil rights complaint against a New York state school district, accusing it of systematically excluding White students for an event for “students of color.”

The Ithaca City School District (ICSD) promoted a Students of Color Summit 2024 on Ithaca High School’s campus earlier this year that said the event was for “Students of Color in grades 6-12.” After backlash, the district apologized for using “exclusionary language” and all students were ultimately welcomed to the event. But the Equal Protection Project (EPP), a nonprofit that opposes racial discrimination in any form, sent the complaint to the U.S. Department of Education suggesting White students were being discriminated against for years.

The complaint, which has been obtained by Fox News Digital and can be seen here, accused ICSD of systematically excluding White students from SOCU Summits “with the knowledge and the participation of dozens of teachers and administrators, knowledge of the Board of Education, and despite multiple complaints about the racially discriminatory practices from members of the community” over a 4-year period from 2021-2024.

On Thursday, the National Right to Life Committee, Inc. (NRLC) issued requests for records relating to the Army’s designation of it as a “terrorist group” during a training event at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, on July 10, 2024. Shockingly, the training event included a slide listing National Right to Life under the bold, all-caps heading, “TERRORIST GROUPS,” as well as bullet points listing examples such as “Pro Life” and “Oppose Row [sic] v Wade.” Were these baseless and sweeping vilifications of NRLC and pro-life people in general not appalling enough, the slide also mentioned peaceful pro-life activities, such as sidewalk counseling.

In a scathing indictment, Representative Jim Banks (R-IN), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Personnel, together with numerous Republican colleagues, sent a letter to Christine Wormuth, Secretary of the Army, demanding answers about who vetted these training materials, whether this was an official Army policy, and whether Secretary Wormuth would commit to actions ensuring such outrageous “terrorist” classification of pro-life groups like NRLC and its members would not occur again.

Hailey Davidson, a man who claims to be a “transgender woman” to compete in female events, almost qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open earlier this year.

He argued that female athletes are only angry about competing against men because they aren’t good enough to beat them.

With over 577,000 signatures verified, Arizona will put abortion rights on the ballot

Arizona voters will get to decide in November whether to add the right to an abortion to the state constitution.

The Arizona secretary of state’s office said Monday that it had certified 577,971 signatures — far above the required number that the coalition supporting the ballot measure had to submit in order to put the question before voters.

The coalition, Arizona for Abortion Access, said it is the most signatures validated for a citizens initiative in state history.

“This is a huge win for Arizona voters who will now get to vote YES on restoring and protecting the right to access abortion care, free from political interference, once and for all,” campaign manager Cheryl Bruce said in a statement.

Democrats have made abortion rights a central message since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 — and it is a key part of their efforts in this year’s elections.

UK Revisits Social Media Regulation After Far-Right Riots

The act, passed in October but not set to be enforced until early next year, allows the government to fine social media companies up to 10% of global turnover if they are found in breach.

At present, companies would only face a fine if they fail to police illegal content, such as incitments to violence or hate speech. Proposed changes could see Ofcom sanction companies if they allow “legal but harmful” content such as misinformation to flourish.

Britain’s recently elected Labour government inherited the legislation from the Conservatives, who spent many months tweaking the bill in an attempt to balance the right to free speech with concerns over online harms.

On Friday, pollster YouGov published a survey of more than 2,000 adults, which found two thirds (66%) believe social media companies should be held responsible for posts inciting criminal behavior.

A further 70% of respondents said social media companies were not strongly regulated enough, and 71% said they did not do enough to counter misinformation while the riots were ongoing.

Ohio Court Rules Students Can Be Compelled by Government Agents to Accept Trans, Non-Binary “Constructs”

pgnewser August 12, 2024 0

In another blow to free speech, an Ohio court just granted Olentangy Local Schools of Ohio the power to punish students for not “acknowledging” the preferred pronouns of other students. The move is seen as a blow to religious and philosophical liberty, as students of various beliefs will be forced to deny the conviction of their beliefs (such as there is only man and woman, and humans are born into their sex, which is the same as gender).

The ruling will be appealed, but while it is being adjudicated, students already starting school this year will be subject to this forced expression, whether it aligns with their beliefs or not. Circuit Court Judge Alice Batchelder wrote in her dissent that the first amendment actually DOES prohibit the school “from compelling students to use speech that conveys a message with which they disagree, namely that biology does not determine gender.”

Another victory for Big Brother. A court ruled last week that an Ohio school district could punish students who intentionally “misgender” LGBTQ individuals. There’s nothing like crushing the First Amendment and outlawing reality in one fell swoop.

Ohio’s Olentangy Local Schools can now penalize students who “intentionally” misgender, thanks to the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, as The Columbus Dispatch reports. Those confused individuals who think they can be transgender despite biology and who claim that there are dozens of genders are now a protected and favored class. Rest in peace, First Amendment — and parental rights.

As Circuit Judge Alice Batchelder wrote in her dissent from the court’s majority ruling, the First Amendment does (in a world not gone mad on wokeness) stop the district “from compelling students to use speech that conveys a message with which they disagree, namely that biology does not determine gender.” Parents Defending Education (PDE) had argued in a legal filing that the schools’ policy violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments and even penalized students for activity on their devices when not at school. Such LGBTQ policies attack both freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

The judges on the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in Cincinnati, said Monday in a 2-1 decision that the district did not compel speech in a way that violates students’ First Amendment rights, upholding a previous decision from a U.S. district court judge. Last year, the U.S. district court denied a preliminary injunction request filed by Parents Defending Education, which would have required the Olentangy Local School District to immediately change its harassment policies for students, The Dispatch previously reported.

Bangladesh prime minister reportedly flees nation as anti-government protesters storm her residence

The prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, resigned and fled to neighboring India on Monday after protesters stormed her official residence after weeks of deadly anti-government demonstrations in the South Asian nation.

Scenes of jubilation erupted on the streets as protesters celebrated the end of her 15 years in power by climbing on tanks and scaling an imposing statue of Hasina’s father, independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, in Dhaka, attacking the head with an ax.

In a national address, Bangladesh’s army chief, Gen. Waker-uz-Zaman confirmed Hasina had resigned and said the military would form an interim government.

Addressing protesters, largely young Bangladeshis and students, he said: “Whatever demands you have we will fulfil and bring back peace to the nation, please help us in this, stay away from violence.”

“The military will not fire at anyone, the police will not fire at anyone, I have given orders,” he added.

U.S. Schools Experiment with Taking ‘Meditation Breaks’ › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

Excerpt from amgreatness.com

Some schools in the United States have begun introducing various forms of “meditation” in their classes, including such techniques as yoga, in an alleged effort to help students improve their mental health.

As reported by ABC News, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has endorsed such tactics being used in schools as a means of combating the lingering effects of the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic, which disproportionately affected schools and significantly stunted childrens’ growth and education across the country.

“We know that our teenagers and adolescents have really strained in their mental health,” said CDC Director Mandy Cohen. “There are real skills that we can give our teens to make sure that they are coping with some big emotions.”

The CDC claims that, in 2023, over one-third of all American students reported feeling “persistent sadness” and “hopelessness” in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic lockdowns and the subsequent disastrous impact on education. As such, the agency has recommended the implementation of “mindfulness practices” in order to deal with students’ emotional states.
