CDC Directs LGBT Children to Secretive Chats About Sex Changes, Activism, the Occult
[Breitbart] The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is promoting to youth an online chat space that discusses sex, polyamorous relationships, the occult, sex change operations, and activism, and is specifically designed to be quickly hidden while being used. It also mixes LGBT adults and children and is run in part by Planned Parenthood.

Called Q Chat Space, the platform is advertised on the CDC’s LGBT Health Youth Resources page, archived here. The chat service, which describes itself as “a community for LGBTQ+ teens,” is available for those ages 13-19, can be hidden from parents, and focuses on a number of mature themes.

Q Chat hosts conversations on a number of different mature and sexual topics, including “Drag Culture 101,” “Sex and Relationships,” and “Having Multiple Genders,” intended for ‘Bi/Pan Youth.”

#6  Just rename it Center for Destroying Children

No, it has to be the opposite:
  • Federal Bureau of Investigation - Covering up for the Swamp.

  • Ministry of Truth - Spewing Propaganda and lies.

  • Justice Department - Imposing INJustice (Jan 7th)

  • Department of Education - selling the false narrative to children. Indoctrination.

  • CDC - Spreading Deadly Deseases, Snake Oil Cures, and Vaccines which do more harm than the desease.

  • ... and the list goes on and one...

Seattle man, 48, is arrested after standing outside Democrat Pramila Jayapal's house with a GUN and 'telling her to 'go back to India' ' - before being freed due to a 'lack of evidence'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Brett Allen Forsell, 48, was arrested outside Jayapal's Seattle home on Saturday

  • Police said he was standing in the street with a holstered Glock handgun

  • Jaypal had called 911 to report a man outside hurling obscenities

  • Neighbor claimed he said 'I'm going to kill you' and 'Go back to India'

  • Forsell was released on Wednesday after no charges were filed after 72 hours

  • But he could still face state or federal charges as the investigation continues

Government Corruption
Bombshell Report Shows $44 Billion of COVID Money Was Sent to States that Pushed CRT in Schools
[Gateway] Roughly $44 billion of President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan COVID-19 relief bill was sent to states that implemented elements of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in their school districts, according to a new report from One Nation America (ONA).

The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan (ARP) authorized the U.S. Department of Education to spend more than $120 billion on the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER) to assist school districts in re-opening from the COVID-19 pandemic. The report by ONA, a conservative policy advocacy group, found that several Democratic-run states used the ARP ESSER funding to subsidize programs that taught the tenets of CRT, such as implicit bias training for faculty and diversity, equity and inclusion programs, in school curriculums in 13 states.

Florida official caught on video dropping title after being pulled over for speeding
[NYPOST] A Florida county commissioner with a lead foot dropped his title twice in back-to-back speeding incidents — declaring "I run the county" in one of the traffic stops, footage of the cases show.

In the latest encounter, Flagler County Commissioner Joe Mullins was in his red Ferrari when he was pulled over by a Florida Highway Patrol trooper on June 19, according to reports.

Mullins had been traveling 92 mph in a 70-mph zone on Interstate 95, Fox 35 reported.

As the trooper is talking to Mullins, the trooper stops and says, "I’m sorry?"

Mullins then says, "I run the county, so I know how that works."

"You run the county?" the trooper replies.

Mullins replies, "Yeah, I’m the chairman of the county commission," according to the dashcam footage obtained by Fox 35.

The trooper then continues to explain the citation before Mullins is seen zooming away at the end of the encounter.

On June 2, Mullins was pulled over in a Mercedes-Benz SUV for going 89 mph in a 60-mph zone on Interstate 4, according to the Daytona Beach News Journal.

After the two troopers talk with Mullins, they go back to a patrol car where one trooper says, "He said he was a county commissioner," to which the other trooper replies, "Yeah, well, he’s getting a ticket," according to footage obtained by the Daytona Beach News Journal.

The newspaper also reported the trooper who spoke to Mullins can be heard threatening to arrest Mullins at one point if he gets out of the SUV.

According to highway patrol dispatch notes obtained by the local outlet, Mullins "stated it would be a carrer [sic] ending move if I arrested him for failing to obey a lawful order."

The police report also stated Mullins was "extremely condescending, belligerent, illogical and disrespectful," and alleged he "flashed his business card to get out of ticket," according to the News Journal.

In separate letters to judges seeking leniency for both incidents, Mullins claimed he was in a rush and not paying attention to how fast he was driving, the newspaper reported.

#1  Should serve 30 days for 'Driving while being an asshole!'. Who does he think he is - Boss Hogg?

Besides - what is a County Commissioner doing driving a Ferarri? While he's cooling his heels in jail you might want to go over his finances as well...

Lawmakers call on Gen. Milley to answer report he broke Trump's military chain of command
[Washington Times] Congressional lawmakers have called on Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley to respond to reports that he cut off the statutory chain of command at the end of President Trump’s term, undermining civilian control of the military.

Gen. Milley told lawmakers last year at a congressional hearing that he contacted his Chinese counterpart two times to tell him that the U.S. had no plans to attack China.

Rep. Jim Banks, Indiana Republican, said in a speech that Gen. Milley must "set the record straight."

"General Milley is accused of secretly seizing the president’s military powers. That is the most serious crime. If he is innocent, he has a duty to say so," he said.

The phone calls to China were detailed in the book "Peril" written by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.

The book also recounted how Gen. Milley directed senior military officers not to follow the president’s orders unless the general first approved them.

Mr. Banks and Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, both sent a letter to Gen. Milley asking him to either confirm or dispute the book’s claims.

Mr. Grassley said the letter was also signed by Republican Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Rand Paul of Kentucky.

"If those books and all attended press coverage of those books, had contained gross misrepresentations. We would have heard about it a long time ago. He would have hammered the authors and corrected the record," Mr. Grassley said in a speech in the Senate. "However, to date, not a peep from the general. His silence speaks volumes."

He said that Gen. Milley has not responded.

The general’s phone calls with his Chinese counterpart were heard by numerous U.S. military officials and later reported to administration officials including the White House chief of staff and the secretary of state, according to the book.

"General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay," Gen. Milley told a Chinese general in an October call, according to the book. "We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you."

Another call was allegedly made two days after the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.

Covid-19 public health emergency extended in the US
[CNN] Sorry
The Biden administration on Friday extended the Covid-19 public health emergency for another three months.

The emergency declaration has been in place since January 2020, and the latest renewal comes as the Omicron offshoot BA.5, the most contagious variant yet, continues to stake its claim in the US. Daily case rates, though vastly undercounted, are the highest they’ve been in months, as are Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths.
Hospitalizations are up from rock-bottom of 1,415 on April 26, 2022 -- up to 4,180 Thursday. Compare with 26,019 on Jan. 23, 2022, and 29,733 on Jan. 6, 2021.

Deaths totaled 3,152 over the last seven days, down from 6,869 in a single day, three weeks after Joe took office - Feb. 13, 2021.

It's over, folks.

#6  Kind of like the War on _____________ (fill in the blank).

And the Feds can continue to send money to blue cash-strapped states. Something about those pension funds in, for example, CA and IL.
