Neera Tanden withdraws as Biden’s budget chief pick

 Neera Tanden withdraws as Biden’s budget chief pick (msn.com)

"Tanden faced opposition from at least one Democratic senator and was struggling to win any Republican support, leaving her nomination to lead the White House Office of Management and Budget with no clear path toward confirmation.

“ 'Unfortunately, it now seems clear that there is no path forward to gain confirmation, and I do not want continued consideration of my nomination to be a distraction from your other priorities,” Tanden said in a letter requesting her withdrawal. Biden’s statement indicated that he expects Tanden to serve in another role in his administration.

"The withdrawal marks the first Cabinet defeat for Biden, whose other nominees have so far all cleared 50 votes in the Senate. But it is a potentially costly one. The White House is expected to introduce a budget in a matter of weeks or months and will now have to do so — at least for the foreseeable future — without a budget chief.

Golden Globes Goes ‘Woke,’ Ratings Crash Over 60 Percent

 Neon Nettle

"This year's awards, hosted by Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, appears to be headed for a ratings fiasco.

"Early figures for this year's more "woke" Golden Globes indicate that ratings for the annual entertainment industry awards have crashed by more than sixty percent.

"In the absence of Ricky Gervais as host, the awards saw an increase in political messaging, woke lecturing, and propaganda from left-wing celebrities.

"In previous years, Gervais's hosting remarks had gone viral after the British comedian roasted celebrity privilege while blasting liberal cancel culture and political correctness.

"The 78th annual Golden Globes was virtual for 2021, however, and was hampered by Zoom glitches, obscure nominees, and a total absence of both the fashion red carpet and Gervais's grounding hosting skills." . . .

Golden Globe Award For 'Not Being A Pervert' Goes Unclaimed Once Again |    The Babylon Bee "U.S.—In an effort to spice up the Golden Globes and keep in step with the #MeToo movement, a new award has been introduced in recent years. The highly coveted award category is reserved for actors who exemplify "not being a pervert."                           . . . "Desperate to find a new way to keep viewers interested, the team at the Golden Globes is considering some other categories that may be more relevant, such as "Most Oppressed Celebrity", "Biggest Political Activist Acting As An Actor", and "Obama’s Favorite Actor.' "

You’ll never believe what made Bill Maher’s audience clap

Andrea Widberg   "The headlines were about the fact that, when Megyn Kelly appeared on Bill Maher’s HBO show on Friday, she complained about the way her children’s pricey private schools in New York were indoctrinating them with pro-transgender values and anti-white animus. Bill Maher to his credit, agreed with Kelly that matters are getting seriously out of hand, at least when it comes to the anti-white hatred that’s becoming the norm in education. Maher’s always been a bit of maverick, though. The real surprise was the enthusiasm his audience showed for that sentiment. 

"For conservatives, nothing that Kelly said about her children’s experiences in New York’s toniest private elementary schools came as a surprise. Kelly said that, while she and her husband identify as “center-right,” she was okay with the fact that the schools were on the left side of the political aisle. That changed, though, when “they went hard left, and then they started to take a really hard turn toward social justice stuff.” 

" One of the hot-button issues was the schools’ efforts to normalize transgenderism, a form of body dysphoria that’s recognized as a mental illness when the subject is anorexia, not sex. Kelly told Maher that, when one of her sons was in third grade – that is, 8 years old, the school “unleashed a three-week experimental trans-education program.' ” . . . 

Transgenderism: A dangerous new fad

 

Transgenderism: A dangerous new fad - American Thinker  . . . "Other countries are also dealing with transgenderism and witnessing the effects of its popularity among the young.  Australian psychiatrist Stephen Stathis, who is responsible for diagnosing gender dysphoria, reported on a patient who said, "Doctor Steve...I want to be transgender.  It's the new black."

"This cultural push ignores that men and woman are different, in brains and body.  While a boy may feel like a girl, he is not.  He is still a boy.  Feelings cannot change a person's sex.

"It also ignores the problems with transgenderism.  Per capita, more transgender people have attempted suicide — 22% to 43% of them — than any other demographic.  Additionally, two thirds of all trans youths report recent self-harm.  Believing you are in the wrong body takes a serious toll on your mental health.  If someone takes hormone-blockers or has a so-called sex reassignment done, this likely will also negatively impact a person's mental well-being in the long run.

"For example, in 2020, Keira Bell, a 23-year-old woman from London, sued the National Health Service (NHS).  Bell was only 16 when she went to the NHS for gender dysphoria treatment.  After three one-hour therapy sessions, the NHS prescribed puberty-blockers.  Three years later, it gave her a double-mastectomy.  Once she had taken these steps, it was too late to go back." . . .
