Top 3 craziest transgender stories of 2023

 Campus Reform  "On a phone call with an unnamed university official, a citizen journalist received clarification that transgender women could be housed with biological females anonymously."  

"Transgender ideology on college campuses has led to the teaching of new material in courses, new rules, and new ridiculous rhetoric being accepted by faculty, staff, and students nationwide.

Campus Reform has compiled a list of this year’s top 3 craziest transgender stories. 

3. THE SCROLL: male ‘sorority girl’ cries with joy that he can keep ogling female members "The male sorority member who won a lawsuit against the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority at the University of Wyoming cried when he found out he was allowed to stay in the sorority.

"Journalist Oli London posted a picture on Twitter of Wyoming sorority member Artemis Langford crying after a judge dismissed the sorority’s lawsuit against him. The photo itself came from a puff piece in the Washington Post detailing the circumstances of the case. 

2. Catholic school allows trans students to live in dorms associated with their perceived gender identity   "A video released on May 10 by O’Keefe Media Group reveals that the University of Saint Thomas in Minnesota allows transgender students to live in dorms associated with their perceived gender identity without the knowledge of other students.  

1. EXCLUSIVE: Flyers at Christian university compare opposing trans ideology to ‘genocide’  “How far has the anti-trans movement advanced along these stages [of genocide]?” a flyer posted to a Pepperdine University bullet board, called the “Freedom Wall,” questions. 

'Sometime between Mar. 27-28, a series of flyers addressing conservatives who object to transgender ideology were anonymously posted to a community bulletin board at the Christian university in California. The postings coincided with “Trans Week of Visibility.” 

'Every flyer featured one of the ten stages of genocide, relating each to the “anti-trans movement”; seemingly comparing the Holocaust to the conservative movement to oppose transgender ideology, irreversible surgery and hormone blockers for minors, and related ideas and practices.'

Silence In The Face Of Hamas’ Hospital Atrocities Will Ensure More Civilians Die

The Federalist

Few of the facts seem to matter as international organizations and the press ignore documented evidence of al-Shifa Hospital’s military use.

"For weeks, Hamas has denied it was using al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest medical complex, as a base of operations. Captured Hamas terrorists tell a different story. They admit to using hospitals for military purposes as well as hiding places for their superiors.

"Ahmed Kahlot, the arrested director of the Kamal Edwan hospital in Gaza, recently confessed to Israel’s domestic security agency, “Hamas has offices inside the hospitals. There are places for senior officials, they also brought a kidnapped soldier there. There is a designated place for investigations, internal security, and special security. They all have private phone lines inside the hospital.” Still, many in the media, and especially the United Nations and International Red Cross, supposedly designed to protect civilian lives, have yet to offer an unequivocal condemnation of the usage. When it comes to Hamas’ usage of al-Shifa and other commandeered hospitals, the international community has abdicated its responsibility. Indeed, the effective silence of the rest of the world only ensures that Hamas will continue to rely on civilian structures "Despite corporate news outlets, such as The New York Times, attempting to portray Hamas’ usage of hospitals as a contested matter, it is not. Hamas has a long and storied history of utilizing civilian facilities — such as hospitals, schools, and mosques — for its military and terrorism operations. As the military engagement continues, rife with accusatory misreporting, it is worth recalling the illustrative instance of al-Shifa Hospital in particular, a civilian medical complex that has served as the headquarters for Hamas’ operations." . . .

New! Happy Kwanzaa! The Holiday Brought to You by the FBI

Ann Coulter

"Kwanzaa emerged not from Africa, but from the FBI's COINTELPRO. It is a holiday celebrated exclusively by idiot white liberals. Black Americans celebrate Christmas."

"One of this year's major news stories is how Republicans, like Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, are trying to BAN the teaching of history -- which, as everyone knows, consists exclusively of lessons about slavery; queer studies; Lewis Latimer, the black inventor of the lightbulb ("not a white guy named Edison," as President Biden said); "mass incarceration"; Jim Crow; Emmett Till; Cleopatra, who was black (according to Netflix, over the outraged objections of the Egyptians); Garrett Morgan, traffic light inventor; Rosa Parks, and so on.

"Well, today is Kwanzaa, so here's some of that history that liberals are so red-hot for.

"Celebrated exclusively by white liberals, Kwanzaa is a fake holiday invented in 1966 by black radical/FBI stooge Ron Karenga -- aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, founder of United Slaves, the violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers. Liberals have become so mesmerized by multicultural gibberish that they have forgotten the real history of Kwanzaa and Karenga's United Slaves.

"In what was ultimately a foolish gambit, during the madness of the '60s, the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the group, the better. (It's the same function #BlackLivesMatter serves today.)

"By that criterion, Karenga's United Slaves was perfect.

"Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of the '60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. Although some of their most high-profile leaders were drug dealers and murderers, they did not seek armed revolution.

"Those were the precepts of Karenga's United Slaves. The United Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers and adopting invented "African" names. (I will not be shooting any Black Panthers this week because I am Kwanzaa-reform, and we are not that observant.)

"It's as if David Duke invented a holiday called "Anglika," which he based on the philosophy of "Mein Kampf" -- and clueless public schoolteachers began celebrating the made-up, racist holiday." . . .

Tom Smothers Dead: Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour Co-Host Was 86

  The Hollywood Reporter   Tom Smothers, the countercultural comedy icon admired for the 1960s variety program he created and hosted with his younger brother, Dick, and for the tenacity he displayed in frequent clashes with CBS censors, has died. 

"Smothers died peacefully at his home on Tuesday with his family at his side following a recent battle with cancer, according to a statement brother and co-star Dick Smothers in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday by a spokesman for the National Comedy Center. 

“ 'Tom was not only the loving older brother that everyone would want in their life, he was a one-of-a-kind creative partner,” Dick said in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday by a spokesman for the National Comedy Center. “I am forever grateful to have spent a lifetime together with him, on and off stage, for over 60 years. Our relationship was like a good marriage – the longer we were together, the more we loved and respected one another. We were truly blessed.' ”

Hamas Rejects Egyptian Ceasefire Plan Requiring Relinquishing Gaza Control

 Sinwar Says “Crushed” IDF (legalinsurrection.com)   . . ."Netanyahu also told the families of remaining hostages that the military campaign would continue and intensify (emphasis added):

I want to tell you, members of Knesset and dear families, we would not have succeeded in freeing more than 100 hostages thus far without military pressure. All the pressures that we are applying, diplomatic, intelligence and others, would not succeed without military pressure. We will not be able to release all the hostages without military pressure, operational pressure, diplomatic pressure. And therefore there is one thing we will not do—we will not stop fighting.

I came here directly from Gaza. Just an hour ago, I was in the Salatin neighborhood, which abuts Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya. There, in the dust and the mud and among the ruins, I met the heroic and determined fighters of the Bahad 1 reserves brigade. You should hear them. I spoke with Brigade Commander Yehuda, who commands the reserves brigade. I asked him what they most needed. He told me that there are battles all the time and that they killed terrorists, and that unfortunately they lost several of their brothers-in-arms, but that they keep fighting. They kill terrorists all the time, day in and day out, even on an hourly basis. I asked him, ‘What do you need the most?’ And he answered, ‘Time. We need time.’

We need to keep going until the end. I spoke with Uri, a battalion commander in the reserves. He is a father of eight children. Five of his family members are fighting in Gaza. He told me, ‘We need to keep going until the end.’ He hasn’t been home in two months. He told me, ‘My wife is at home and tells me to take two more months. Take however long it takes. To the end.’

I heard similar statements from the family members of our brave fallen soldiers. You should hear them. They speak with broken hearts and with tears in their eyes, but I must tell you, with their heads held high. They weep and I embrace them, and they stand with their heads held high. From the depths of their grief, they cry out, ‘Our children did not die in vain. We cannot stop the war until we ensure total victory over those who seek to kill us.’

To you, IDF soldiers, and to you, hurting families and relatives of the hostages, and from this podium, I say: We are not stopping and we will not stop until we are victorious, because we have no country but this one, and we have no other way. Together with you, together with every home in Israel and every citizen of Israel, I pray for the well-being of our hostages, our brothers and sisters: ‘Our brothers, the entire family of Israel, who are delivered into distress and captivity, whether they are on sea or dry land – may God have mercy on them and remove them from stress to relief, from darkness to light, from subjugation to redemption now, speedily and soon.’

"The reference to “I have no other country” must have been deliberate."

Half of U.S. Buick Dealers Take Buyouts Rather Than Sell EV’s

 (legalinsurrection.com)   "The market for electric vehicles isn’t as robust as climate cultists and their media minions would have Americans believe.

"A few weeks ago, I reported that car dealerships across the country were begging Biden to use his pen-and-phone to rescind the mandate to end unrealistic EV mandates that have sprung up in blue states.

"In another article, I noted Congress budgeted $7.5 billion to build tens of thousands of electric vehicle chargers across the country, and none had yet been built. Since then, one tax-payer funded EV charging station was built. In London, Ohio, and apparently, no one is using it.

"There are even more signs that the American public is pushing back against this net-zero nonsense.

"General Motors is relearning an important lesson in capitalism: Smart businesses don’t sell things customers aren’t buying.

"General Motors bought out roughly half of Buick dealers across the U.S. due to their reluctance to sell electric vehicles as the automaker looks to transition to EVs.

"About half of GM’s 2,000 Buick dealers accepted the voluntary buyout. The program remains open so additional dealers may opt to take the buyout instead of making the EV-related investments that GM required for them to continue selling Buicks, as GM is planning for the brand’s vehicles to be 100% electric by 2030.

WATCH: Delta Employee Schools Transgender Activist Whining About Being Misgendered

  PJ Media 

What I love about this video is that the Delta agent made it clear that he wasn't taking any of Dorfman's crap. Dorfman isn't a victim here. He's just a whining activist who expects everyone to affirm his delusion.

Watch it here.

   "Over the weekend, a man who pretends he’s a woman recorded an exchange between himself and an employee of Delta Airlines, whom he accused of “misgendering” him. The clip went viral, though most of the reaction I’ve seen has been in praise of the Delta employee, who wasn’t taking the man’s crap during the busy holiday travel season at La Guardia Airport.

"According to Newsweek, the triggered traveler is actor Tommy Dorfman, 31, who appeared on the Netflix show "13 Reasons Why," which ended in 2020. He decided to identify as a woman the following year.

"The video, which Dorfman originally posted on TikTok, starts in the middle of the exchange. 

"And what about when a Delta employee misgenders you intentionally?” he says from behind the camera.

" 'I'm so sorry,” the agent says to a woman off-camera. “While she’s — he's talking, you're talking over him."

"You just misgendered me again multiple times; both of you have,” Dorfman complained.

"It wasn't intentional, but if you want to take it personally, that's also okay,” the agent told him. 

"Well, she did do it intentionally twice,” Dorfman said.

"I did not do it intentionally,” a woman off camera, presumably another agent, insisted.

"You said 'she,' and then you said 'he,'” Dorfman pointed out.

"You're being condescending. And if you want to continue, I have full authority to escort you out of the building right this moment if you want to play that game with me. ". . .

Like Bud Light, Harvard discovers backlash

 Don Surber

The damage came quicker and deeper than anyone could imagine. At least one law firm dropped recruiting Harvard grads. Kids who applied for Harvard and were accepted are rejecting Harvard!

"On October 7, the Palestinian army broke its 15th ceasefire, invaded Israel, raped and slaughtered hundreds, took hostages, and then stole back to Gaza City which is a cover for the 300 miles of tunnels and fortifications below ground which Palestinians use to launch terrorist attacks on Israel.

The UN said nothing, instead it waited until Israel’s inevitable response so it could condemn Israel because the UN has become the Nazis it was formed to fight.

The reaction in the United States was heartening but also sad. Most of the nation rallied behind Israel in a manner not seen in decades, but the young lefties aped academia and condemned Israel.

"For example, Canary Mission reported that Omer Bartov is a professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies in the Department of History at Brown.

He blamed Israel for Palestinians raping, torturing, murdering and mutilating Israelis on October 7.

"Bartov wrote, “On 7 October, this repressed reality literally exploded in the country’s face. This was an event waiting to happen. If you keep over 2 million people under siege for 16 years, cramped in a narrow strip of land, without enough work, proper sanitation, food, water, energy and education, with no hope or future prospects, you cannot but expect outbreaks of ever more desperate and brutal violence, inexcusable as those atrocities were.”

"Israel gave Palestinians Gaza and provided them food, fuel and water. But hating Jews helps advance one’s career in the Ivy League.

"Republicans who control the House called in the heads of MIT, Harvard and Penn to answer why it was OK for students to attack Jews.

"Congresswoman Elise Stefanik asked them repeatedly whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated their rules on speech. The three presidents — all women — responded with smirks. Their performance was so terrible that the New York Times headlined its report, “College Presidents Under Fire After Dodging Questions About Anti-Semitism.”

"Worse, donors very publicly withdrew. Penn’s Liz Magill was smart enough to resign and go back to her day job as a law professor at the school.

"But Harvard’s Claudine Gay is weathering the storm which is heading to hurricane level. Zero has got her back.

"The New York Post reported, “Former President Barack Obama has secretly lobbied Harvard University officials to stick by embattled President Claudine Gay as she faces pressure to resign for giving cover to anti-Semitism on campus and for committing plagiarism.”

"Obama backing her damages his brand too. Brilliant!" . . .

Hundreds of California Pizza Hut locations announce ‘no more delivery’

 Olivia Murray - American Thinker   "Imagine if you will, a world in which businesses exist to make a profit, and free people consent to labor for these businesses in exchange for pay, and then a government comes in and legislates that these businesses pay their new employees a price they cannot (or do not want to) afford, so they eliminate the positions, fire the workers, and remove a service to paying customers they once provided—and certain people (read, average Democrat voters) still can’t figure out what factor in the equation caused the whole mess.

"See a new report below, published by CBS News yesterday:

California Pizza Hut operators cutting all delivery driver jobs in 2024 due to minimum wage increase

Two Pizza Hut franchise operators with hundreds of stores across California will lay off all delivery drivers in February, according to a report by Business Insider. That's more than 1,200 jobs.
…

Business Insider says the Pizza Hut franchisees explain they are cutting all delivery driver positions as the company braces for California's minimum wage increase for fast food workers coming in 2024.

California-based fast food chains with 60 or more locations nationwide will have to begin paying employees $20 an hour in April, higher than the state minimum wage of $16 that becomes law on Jan. 1." . . .
