Trump Not Guilty Of Rape, But Guilty Of Defamation Says Jury

 

A jury in Manhattan found that former President Donald Trump did not rape former columnist E. Jean Carroll (in a dressing room in the 1990s), but nonetheless did determine that Trump was guilty of defamation when he called her allegations of rape a “con job.” Got it?

The jury also found the former president liable for sexually abusing Carroll and awarded her $5 million in damages for her claims against Trump. This caused the erstwhile Commander-in-Chief to issue a two-sentence statement on his TruthSocial account, which read: "I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE - A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!"

So the jury found Trump not guilty of the rape charges, but guilty of defamation for calling her allegations of the rape that he was not guilty of a “con job?” Makes perfect nonsense.

 $5 million? I wish someone would defame me. I could use the money! I will even agree to level rape charges against someone-- if needed-- to start the ball rolling.

Ohio High School Students Crown Non-Binary Prom King, Queen

 

Students at Kettering Fairmont High School in Ohio recently named their prom king and queen for the 2023 school year. According to the Dayton Daily News, a pair of gender-fluid seniors received the honors. 18-year-olds Rosita Green and Dai’sean Conley were named king and queen, respectively, the Daily News noted.

The twist? Not only are both ends of the royal couple non-binary, but Conley, the biological male, was the queen, and Green, the biological female, the king.

The day after the two were crowned, Conley, the boy queen, wrote on Facebook: “The LGBTQ really took over last night.” No doubt.

Indeed, the LGBTQ appears to be taking over everything, everywhere.

If high school kids wanted to be really woke, they should nominate a single non-binary, gender-fluid student to be both king and queen. That would be much more efficient.

Pronouns? He/him and she/her. Nouns? King and Queen.

Reality? We are royally screwed.

Researchers Developing Non-Invasive Brain-Computer Interface That Converts Thoughts Into Text

 

A team of researchers at the University of Texas has developed a noninvasive means by which human thoughts can be converted into text.

Though currently somewhat clunky, the “semantic decoder” could one day be miniaturized and mobilized such that one’s most private thoughts could be made apparent anywhere and endlessly.

The scientists’ paper, recently published in the journal Nature Neuroscience (look for the centerfold!), indicated that a “brain-computer interface that decodes continuous language from non-invasive recordings would have many scientific and practical applications.” I’m sure that is the case. You can bet that tyrannical governments from China to Canada, and from Iran to Washington, D.C., would love to avail themselves of the “practical applications” this interface would afford them. Regular citizens might not be so excited by this prospect, however.

This new decoder utilizes functional magnetic resonance brain imaging and artificial intelligence, unlike previous brain-computer interfaces, which required invasive neurosurgery to decode speech articulation and other signals from intracranial recordings. Easy-peasy, right?

According to an article on theblaze.com, the research team was led by Jerry Tang, a doctoral student in computer science, and Alex Huth, an assistant professor of neuroscience and computer science at the University of Texas-Austin. During a UT-Austin podcast, Huth stated, "For a noninvasive method, this is a real leap forward compared to what’s been done before, which is typically single words or short sentences.” He added, "We’re getting the model to decode continuous language for extended periods of time with complicated ideas.” Wow.

The researchers claim to realize that the technology raises some ethical concerns. Tang averred: "We take very seriously the concerns that it could be used for bad purposes and have worked to avoid that.” I’m sure the researchers at the lab in Wuhan said the same thing circa 2019.

At the very least, when this technology/capability is perfected, it will be the end of marriage. When we can’t keep our most private and unbidden thoughts about, say, the hot neighbor to ourselves—or can’t get away with a diplomatic answer to the question, “Do these pants make my butt look fat,” matrimony is finished. So, too, will be employment. When your boss approaches you and glowingly asks, “What do you think of my proposal, Johnson?” and you can’t hide the fact you think it is the dumbest idea since New Coke…you might want to freshen up your resumé.

In all seriousness, free speech is being massively curtailed by leftist tyrants around the world. Free thought is obviously the next target, and this new brain-computer interface technology will greatly aid them in their quest to make everyone totally and unequivocally submit and swear fealty to The State.

We are witnessing—in real time-- the deliberate destruction of the family and traditional values. Christianity is being mocked and attacked. The number of people identifying as LGBTQ is exploding, especially among our youth. Censorship is on the rise. “Misinformation boards” are being considered—and created. Chinese style social credit scores are coming soon to Canada, the U.S., and other Western nations. Say something your government doesn’t like, and you could be put on a “Bias List.” Lockdowns are now an approved tool of government. The Great Reset and the dismissal of Capitalism are upon us. Western nations, in the grip of some sort of mass psychosis and delusion, are hell bent……on bankrupting themselves—and therefore the global economy—in the needless and preposterous attempt to fight “climate change.” We are being told to eat bugs. And that we will “own nothing” and “be happy.” Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is everywhere superseding and supplanting merit. Governments are trying to institute Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) so they can monitor and control every aspect of our lives via our finances.

On top of all this, soon we will likely be at the mercy of “brain transparency.”

Can you guess what I’m thinking?

It all ties together. A dystopian future? That seems almost optimistic. Only divine intervention can save us at this point.

Woman Says "Odd" Food Choices Indicated Her Child Was Transgender

 

Almost anything can now be a sign that your child is transgender, apparently.

 

A woman who recently testified against a Louisiana bill that would ban sex change surgeries for minors said she eventually realized that her biological daughter's "odd" food choices indicated a transgender identity. The mother gave the preposterous testimony before the Louisiana House Health and Welfare Committee during discussions on House Bill 463, which would prohibit "certain procedures to alter the sex of a minor child."

 

The mother, speaking about her child that now identifies as a transgender boy, told Louisiana lawmakers: "We couldn't figure out what the problem was. We took him to specialists and neurologists, and he had brain scans trying to figure out why he couldn't sleep. As he grew, he got to sleeping. But his food choices were odd. They were always like green vegetables, raw green vegetables, which, if you know kids, most kids don't like to eat those things."

 She added, “When he came to us and told us that he was transgender, we went back and realized that the pattern of everything he had experienced as a child — including eating green vegetables, because that boosts testosterone — were just methods of his body trying to become who he was meant to be.” Alrighty then.

If “odd” food choices are indicative of a transgender person, we are all transgender. But, the mother’s “reasoning” was “odd,” as well. It is no secret that most men like meat and potatoes and do not particularly care for salads and other greenery, while more women than men like—or claim to like—salads, raw vegetables, and other healthier foods. (I know some guys who would eat nothing but grilled steaks, ribs, and pork-loins if their spouses would let them.) I myself do happen to enjoy a salad now and then. I even sort of like broccoli. But this does not mean my body is crying out for estrogen. (Green vegetables may actually be non-binary.)

Sadly, transgenderism is currently “cool” with school-age kids. And yet also the hottest fad going. Unfortunately, unlike the “pet rock” or “POGS,” this fad is unlikely to go away any time soon. And is also extremely dangerous to the individual—and society at large.

So, if your daughter says, “pass me the green beans, please,” or orders a salad the next time you go out to dinner, please don’t think: “By God, she’s a boy! Time for hormone therapy and genital reconstruction!”

"Ableism" Out, Wokeness In


A Michigan elementary school teacher who recently enrolled at Calvin University (an allegedly Christian institution) to obtain her Master’s Degree in Education said she was troubled by the very first class she attended. The class was “woke,” she said. So much so, she subsequently decided to unenroll.

She said she didn’t like the curriculum-- and where it seemed to be headed-- based on her first course, stating: “I was uncomfortable with the ‘agenda’ that was being pushed.” The grad school course is titled, “Pathways to Inclusion: Re-Examining Beliefs about Learners.” Of course it is.

The progressive course’s syllabus states that “through this course, participants are invited to embark on pathways to inclusion by examining the needs of learners with differences in school contexts and re-examining commonly held beliefs and practices about identity and difference.” Huh?

The course is taught by Professor Sarah Sunukjian, who told her grad students via email that “as we will explore in this course, so many of the ways we think about and ‘do’ school are arguably rooted in ableist concepts.”

Traditional schooling is arguably “rooted in ableist concepts?” That’s the effing point, lady!

I mean, what the hell?! We used to want our children to grow up to be “able” to do things…like count and read and tell time. And maybe even learn to be competent in accounting, business, medicine… and other trades, occupations, and vocations.

If you think the rash of train derailments, aircraft crashes, inexplicable explosions, and other disasters are bad now, just wait until “ableism” has been eradicated from our society!

Leftists Are Frauds Who Sow Evil For Their Own Benefit

 

The left acts as though many things matter to them. Black Lives Matter! Trans rights! The climate! The planet! Kids! Equity! But, in reality, something with which they are not particularly familiar—or fond of-- they are really asserting: “Nothing Matters And What If It Did?!” At least, that’s what the result of their policies/prescriptions strongly infers.

Their goals? Breaking up the family. Causing people to be unable to tell a man from a woman…or define either. Preventing kids from being born. Mutilating their private parts if they are born. Cancelling dissent and independent thought. Pitting us against each other. Mocking patriotism and tradition. Rewriting history. Essentially labeling Christianity as evil. Dispensing with all standards, behavioral and otherwise. Replacing merit with “equity.”

No wonder so many are disillusioned, dispirited, depressed-- and filled with dread, not hope. No wonder so many, especially young people, have no faith-- and turn to violence. No wonder so many are taking their own lives. They are filled with entitlement and grievances, not wonder and gratitude.

They have to be. It’s what they are taught. It is how they have been indoctrinated. “Progressives”/leftists use kids in every way imaginable…for their own convenience. Economically, politically, sexually, etc. And it is a tragedy beyond compare.

The results? Rising crime. Open borders. Falling life spans. Sky-high inflation. Rising interest rates. Supply-chain issues. Children—and adults—terrified of an allegedly imminent “Climate Armageddon.” War with Russia. Communist China set to attack Taiwan…and own the world. Racial division and hatred. The belief that America is comprised simply of oppressors and the oppressed. Fentanyl. Suicide. Etc., etc. And the idea that there is nothing else to believe in.

But why do they do this? How can they justify to themselves the demonstrable results of their actions?

Because societal breakdown is historically a precursor—and prerequisite-- to leftists attaining power. In perpetuity.

Power. You see, to them, Nothing Else Matters…and what if it did?

Supervolcano To Trigger "Nuclear Winter?"

 

Scientists have discovered that one of the reservoirs underneath the Yellowstone Caldera, a huge crater and supervolcano in northwest Wyoming, holds far more liquid molten rock, or magma, than previously believed. This is relevant, they say, because the more magma, the more likely a volcano is to erupt.

The scientists noted that an eruption from Yellowstone’s supervolcano would likely kill 90,000 people almost instantly and blanket the United States in a “nuclear winter,” releasing a ten-foot-tall layer of molten ash as far as 1,000 miles from the park. Sunlight would be blocked, and temperatures would plummet. All of which would have a disastrous effect on our food supply.

This is yet another reason not to overreact to the alleged warming of the planet. If we were somehow successful at cooling the planet on our own, via crazy ideas like shooting vast quantities of dust or reflective material into the atmosphere, and there was subsequently a supervolcano eruption, it could be curtains for life on Earth. That would be ironic. And we would be a bit chagrined.

Though scientists say it’s not likely that Wyoming’s supervolcano will erupt any time soon, it has done so three times before. And it is not the only supervolcano on the planet.

There are thought to be 12 supervolcanoes on Earth-- each one at least seven times larger than Mount Tambora, which had the biggest eruption in recorded history.

Chilling.

Biden To "Finish The Job"

 

President Biden has officially launched his re-election campaign, urging the electorate to let him finish off the countryfinish the job.” Remarkably, he is basing his second run at the White House on nothing but malarkey. He is attempting to gaslight the populace by claiming to be the freedom candidate.

The man who is trying to ban gasoline powered automobiles and gas stoves-- and who has banned incandescent light bulbs—says in a campaign video: “Freedom – personal freedom – is fundamental to who we are as Americans.”

Biden, who fervently supported the plandemic lockdown, social distancing, mask mandates, and vaccine passports, then proceeds to warn us all that, “The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer.”

Actually, that is arguably the biggest question we are facing going forward, but Biden is demonstrably the threat, not the answer.

The video also features Biden asserting, “Around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take those bedrock freedoms away.” That, too, is exactly wrong.

What “bedrock freedoms” is Biden running to protect? The freedom of speech enshrined in the First Amendment? The right to protect one’s own life and defend one’s family as established in the Second Amendment? The right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of one’s peers as enumerated in the Sixth Amendment? (See also Jan. 6 protesters.)

No. A thousand times no! Biden and his handlers detest the very idea of those freedoms!

No, the “freedoms” they believe in are: the freedom to engage in unprotected promiscuous sex and the subsequent freedom to casually abort the “fetus” that may result from that endeavor, the freedom to mutilate the genitals of any youngsters that were not aborted, the freedom to otherwise sexualize kids and make explicitly pornographic materials available to them in their school’s libraries, and the freedom they grant to men identifying as women to hang out in women’s locker-rooms and bathrooms.

Except that…those aren’t freedoms, or rights, at all. The only inherent rights-- natural rights granted to us by our Creator-- are negative rights. No one has the “right” to never be offended, live forever, or be a billionaire, but everyone has the right not to be taxed without representation, or arbitrarily enslaved, imprisoned or killed by their government. Which was, sadly, the norm throughout most of human history.

The Biden administration doesn’t want you to be free from tyrannical government. Nor does it believe you should have the right to resist the long train of abuses it has thrust upon you. It does, however, believe in affording you freedom from freedom. The freedom from having to make your own decisions. The freedom from choosing how you want to live your life. And even the freedom from being able to choose what kind of stove you own.

You see, to those in the Biden administration, anyone wishing to “Make America Great Again” is an “extremist,” whereas anyone wishing to let Biden finish off America “finish the job” is a commendable citizen of the world.
