State Department will consider 'gender dysphoria and gender transition care' for workers overseas
[JustTheNews] The State Department is pledging to "access resources for gender dysphoria and gender transition care" for its employees who are stationed in foreign countries and their families.

The initiative is part of the agency's "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility Strategic Plan" for 2022 through 2026.

According to the State Department's DEIA Strategic Plan, the agency will "increase support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) employees and family members" and "assess resources for gender dysphoria and gender transition care at posts for employees and their dependents."

The LGBTQI portion of the strategic plan also includes increasing "gender-neutral restrooms and locker rooms in overseas facilities."

The agency also said it would "evaluate and ensure inclusion and safety policies and procedures for LGBTQI+ children at overseas schools in collaboration with the educational accreditation agencies and provide mechanisms for social-emotional support."

The strategic plan was released by the "Secretary's Office of Diversity and Inclusion."

Republican lawmakers have argued that tax dollars should not be used for gender transition care.

"The facts are simple," said Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.), according to the Washington Free Beacon. "Biden’s policies exploit and harm children to promote his political agenda. These experimental and irreversible treatments on children shouldn’t be tolerated, let alone promoted."

Planned Parenthood is under fire for cartoon ad that encourages children to get on puberty blockers if they think they're transgender and tells them the drugs 'work like a stop sign'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Planned Parenthood first shared the cartoon ad on their YouTube account in January, with ways teenagers can delay puberty

  • One of those ways is through the use of puberty blockers, which can halt voice deepening, facial hair growth, and menstrual cycles

  • The organization is getting backlash for the video after it resurfaced last week by Twitter account Eye Inside the Classroom

U.N. considering sending troops to Haiti amid deteriorating security
[UPI] The United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
is considering sending armed troops to Haiti following a request from the country's government, U.N. officials confirmed on Sunday night.
"Bring condoms"
U.N. chief António Guterres said the agency is considering deploying armed forces "to help the country address immense humanitarian concerns."

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry made the request for help to the larger international community as a whole over the weekend because of "the risk of a major humanitarian crisis." Ariel asked for a "specialized armed force" to intervene.

Guterres sent a letter to the U.N. Security Council outlining various options for enhanced security support. Haiti is dealing with rising cases of cholera after having none for three years, and continual violence perpetrated by numerous different gangs.

The situation has tanked since then president Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in his home in 2021.

Last month, gangs blockaded Haiti's main fuel port, leading to gas and diesel shortages, and causing businesses and hospitals to shut down.

The U.S. State Department confirmed on Saturday that it was also reviewing the request.

"We are closely following the worsening health and security situation in Haiti, particularly the ongoing actions by criminal actors that impede urgent measures to address the threat posed by the spread of cholera to the Haitian population," department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement.

Haiti is a failed nation state and NOT a part of the United States, despite the Clinton's efforts.

Why are we even thinking about going in again? Until Haitian society changes, and they get desperate enough to change, nothing there will change. Just let them feed each other to the dogs.

#1  The entire nuclear powered world needs a mark, a target to evaluate and analyse the effectiveness of their arsenal and delivery systems. We have all let ourselves be paralysed into nuke flaccidity by the boo hoo hoo after Hiroshima. Some asswipe acquires nukes nowadays, no telling what he could do. WMDs, even conventional defence capability should be for only responsible societies not bloodthirsty imbeciles. Such people should be instantly converted to Pokèmon gamers.

I think NKorea is a perfect mark. Of course Pakistain would be my favourite. Such an action would also establish dominance over the Asian paper tigers for the next generation at least. People would walk softly and play nice. And nobody would miss NKorea seriously.

Europe
Austria’s President Alexander Van der Bellen secures a second six-year term in office by winning more than 50 percent of the vote
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen secured a second six-year term in office by winning more than 50 percent of the vote in an election on Sunday to avoid a runoff, according to initial projections issued soon after voting closed.

Neither of the main centrist parties fielded candidates in the election, and senior figures from both backed Van der Bellen, a 78-year-old former leader of the Greens. The far-right Freedom Party was the only party in parliament to put forward a candidate against the president.

A projection by pollster SORA for national broadcaster ORF, based on a partial count of 64.8 percent of votes, put Van der Bellen on 55.4 percent with a margin of error of 1.9 percentage points. His nearest rival was the Freedom Party’s Walter Rosenkranz on 18.4 percent.

Initial projections in Austria, based on the count from the polling stations that closed earlier in the day, have proved reliable in the past. The last polling stations to close include those in the cities of Vienna and Innsbruck.

The Austrian president largely performs a ceremonial role, but also has sweeping powers that mean overseeing periods of transition and turbulence. Van der Bellen has built up a reputation for having a steady hand and calm manner, particularly in times of crisis.
“Let’s vote for him — he’s not a hysteric!”

Tulsi Gabbard leaving ‘elitist' Democratic Party, blasts ‘cowardly wokeness'
[NYP] Former Democratic House member and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard announced she was leaving the party Tuesday — blasting it as an "an elitist cabal" driven by "cowardly wokeness."

"I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms that are enshrined in our Constitution," Gabbard, 41, said in a searing video posted on Twitter.

Gabbard, who gave up her House seat representing Hawaii to run for president in 2020, condemned the progressive party for being "hostile to people of faith and spirituality" while demonizing the police and protecting criminals "at the expense of law-abiding Americans."

She then accused party leaders of weaponizing national security "to go after their political opponents, and above all, who are dragging us ever closer to ​nuclear war.​"​​

#10  Ms Gabbard stepped down from her House seat to run for president in 2020, and has not run for anything since. It will be interesting to see if she gets back on that horse in 2024, or chooses instead to continue with her podcast and Fox News appearances as a public intellectual.

How The Other Side Spins it....
[NewsOne] "Gun Violence In Chicago Drops Despite Republican Fearmongering On Crime -- Chicago's gun violence is slowly beginning to decrease."
You'll have to read closely to pick out the careful way facts are twisted, taken out of context, misrepresented and skewed.

The same Chicago Shooting Facts (more or less) presented in another light
News One is an UrbanOne brand, which describes itself as representing Black culture. And they clearly are obsessed with the evilness of Republicans.

#4  The whole article was republicans pounce. No real discussion on why or how the shootings can be reduced. Could be the worst offenders are currently in prison, could be the gangs have better lookouts so drive-bys are less effective this year. Could be they've shifted to meth and everyone is so stoned they have less time to kill each other. Could be they are making more money smashing into stores and grabbing everything than fighting each other.

Lots of things could have caused the drop in murders. Yet the rate is still insanely high.

  • The Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID) is scheduled for November 1

  • NASA's test will see a huge inflatable heat shield launched into low Earth orbit on an Atlas V rocket

  • Once it reaches low-Earth orbit, the heat shield will inflate before descending back to Earth

  • In the future, the heat shield could be used to slow down a spacecraft to survive atmospheric entry

Wormuth: US Army to invest in larger, high-tech formations
[Defense News] WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army will build larger formations outfitted with high-tech capabilities geared toward near-peer adversaries, Secretary Christine Wormuth told an audience Oct. 10 at the Association of the U.S. Army annual conference in Washington, D.C.

"After two decades of counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, focused on brigade and below operations, the Army is shifting its organizational focus to larger formations more capable of integrating with our sister services and our allies and partners around the globe," Wormuth said.

The Army has learned through extensive study and analysis of recent conflicts, exercises, simulations and training, she said, that brigade commanders give their attention to the close fight. To facilitate that, "division and corps commanders will have the responsibility and the capability to visualize the larger picture," Wormuth said.

The service will build up personnel, organizations and equipment within theater armies, corps and divisions needed "to disrupt and defeat peer adversaries on the future battlefield," she added.

"These force structure redesigns go well beyond building [security force assistance brigades] and the additional multidomain task forces," she explained.

The Army created those brigades in 2017 to deploy around the globe for training, advising and assisting foreign militaries. There are six of them: Five are in an active duty status and assigned to each combatant command; the sixth is a National Guard unit.

The Multi-Domain Task Force originally began as an experimental unit deployed to Indo-Pacific Command to test out the multidomain operations warfighting concept as the Army worked to transform it into doctrine. The service is debuting that doctrine at AUSA.

Now, the service plans to stand up five MDTFs. It has one in the Indo-Pacific Command’s area of responsibility and another in the European theater; it activated a third in the Pacific last month.
