BLUF:
[Townhall] A partial answer to that started in 1980 with the founding of the Human Rights Campaign. By the 1990s HRC was lobbying and ensuring donations were made to Democrats and Republicans alike. Their goal was to normalize LGBTQ resulting in gay marriage. With that, an aura was created that LGBTQ is a protected class, which laid the foundation for where we are today culturally.
Fast forward to 2021, why did President Biden sign an executive order on day one in support of protecting transgenderism in schools, and why would the White House create a Toolkit on Transgender Equality. These actions are supported now by the US Department of Ed’s policies and ongoing communications to promote transgenderism in schools, including praising Pride Month.

#1 hmmmm, here in CA we're are being subjected to a massive campaign that seemingly came out of nowhere - toxic trauma in children that is experienced in the home. Wondering if anyone else is seeing a similar campaign? Im talking about daily commercials and highway billboard signs type o stuff. This is a thing.

pt II: it's always projection with the Dems. The trauma isn't occuring at home, it's in the schools and every govt organ - but it WILL be blamed on the parents.

[Bee] COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — The motive behind a sandbag's sudden attack on President Joe Biden became more clear today, as sources within the federal government have produced photos showing the sandbag also participated in the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
"This sandbag has been a dangerous entity for some time," said one source under the condition of anonymity. "After reviewing video footage from the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol, we discovered the sandbag among the other Trump-supporting domestic terrorists. The sandbag has evaded justice since that day, giving it the opportunity to trip President Biden at the Air Force commencement ceremony."
As officials continued to dig into the sandbag's past, further red flags were raised. "We have also found a lengthy manifesto written by the sandbag," the source said. "We will not be releasing the manifesto to the public due to the potential damage it could cause to our democracy, but it's really bad. Just trust us, we're the government."
Though unharmed in the tripping incident, President Biden has privately vowed to bring the full weight of the federal government behind his crusade to hunt down other sandbags. Additional reports seem to have indicated the sand inside the bag was white, raising concerns about ties to white supremacist organizations.
"This attack on our national security will not be tolerated," a White House press release read. "This sandbag, and others like it, are a serious and frightening threat."
At publishing time, the Biden administration had asked the intelligence community to look into possible ties the sandbag may have had to the Russian government.

This sandbag has been stalking Biden for years.
Fortunatly for the sandbag, it's Joe Biden we're talking about, so it could get away with it. Had him cornered in the basement during the 2020 campaign. (Brought some Columbian hookers along, so the Secret Service were 'tied up'.)

Her mom says she was not on psych meds which can cause homicidal thoughts
A possible non-psychiatric cause for severe mood shifts is a steroid for asthma
READ MORE: Mom says the pre-teen was normal until she restarted medication
The horrifying case in Oklahoma resurfaced this week with the release of harrowing bodycam footage of the girl's arrest and her mother, April Lyda's conversations with police.
The footage shows the girl, who DailyMail.com is not naming, barrelling down the stairs yelling 'I'm sorry' several times in between choking sobs.
As she is being placed in handcuffs, the girl sobbed: 'I'm so sorry, I don't know what happened. It's some demonic s**t.'
In an interview yesterday, her mother also revealed how the girl had been taking ADHD medications shortly before the attack.
She said her daughter had been put back on the medications after going back to school. But within a month, when she started cutting her arms, doctors decided to take her off them again.
The young girl cut herself again the night before the attack on her brother, Zander, who had been in bed trying to sleep at the time.
The boy died a short time later from his injuries. But in footage released by Tulsa Police, the mother and daughter both believe that the boy is still alive.
Dr Fischer warned DailyMail.com that medications could have contributed to turning the child into a killer.
He said: 'Someone who goes from needing a medication like this [ADHD drugs] to someone who is homicidal or psychopathic — this has been documented extensively since the drugs were first used many years ago.'
He described it as a 'perfect storm of medicines that you could probably see some behavior change in the person that could turn 'dangerous or pathological' in extreme cases.
Common ADHD medications taken in the US such as Adderall can cause a range of side effects including psychosis, where contact is lost with external reality, mood swings, depression and panic attacks.
Coming off the drugs can cause a range of withdrawal symptoms as well, which addiction center the Orlando Recovery Center says includes psychosis, paranoia and hallucinations.
He also said ADHD medication combined with other drugs, like asthma drugs, can have unusual interactions.
Psychiatric medications meant to treat depression and anxiety, such as Zoloft and Prozac, called SSRIs, can sometimes cause suicidal thoughts as well as hallucinations and homicidal ideation.
Prednisone, a steroid that relieves lung inflammation which helps people with severe asthma when they experience an attack, can also cause mood swings, psychosis, and mania.
It has not been revealed whether the 12-year-old girl had recently used any other medications despite those for ADHD.
Ms Lyda claimed that her daughter started having behavior issues when 'she was put back on a medication she was off for over a year'.
At the same time, police reported that the young girl had a history of self-harming.
Dr Fischer said: ‘People being tapered off prednisone can become very depressed. It has a psychological side effect to it. This is not alternative medicine and it’s not meant to be treated for psychiatric issues.
‘This is complicated chemistry, what [the medicine] is doing. It cannot have only good effects. It’s inconceivable that a medicine as important as asthma medicine only has a positive effect.’
The girl is in juvenile custody with the Tulsa Police Child Crisis Unit in charge of the investigation. She is being held at the Family Center for Juvenile Justice, according to Tulsa Police.
The rubes aren't falling for it.

[FoxBusinessNews] May jobs report shows US economy added 339,000 jobs last month.
U.S. job growth unexpectedly surged in May, as the labor market remained surprisingly resilient even in the face of rising interest rates, declining economic growth and chronic inflation.
Employers added 339,000 jobs in May, the Labor Department said in its monthly payroll report released Friday, easily beating the 190,000 jobs forecast by Refinitiv economists. That also marks an increase from April, when payrolls increased by an upwardly revised 294,000.
At the same time, a separate report based on a survey of households, offered a slightly different picture of the labor market. The report indicated the unemployment rate climbed to 3.7% from 3.4%, even though the labor force participation rate remained unchanged last month. It was the highest jobless rate since October 2022 and the biggest increase since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wage growth also cooled last month, with average hourly earnings – a key measure of inflation – rising 0.3%, in line with estimates. On an annual basis, wages rose 4.3% in May.
Then there’s this:
And here are the BLS revisions for the fake Q1 2023 data they released.
Don't be surprised. The CPI data is fake also, massaged downwards to make inflation appear lower than it really is. Plus they are also playing games with the employment jobs creation numbers. https://t.co/sgBn3o7g6Ppic.twitter.com/vMQqbjoynJ

Sadly, government numbers are crafted for political use, then later adjusted with little media notice. To paraphrase an old Soviet axiom, "They know they are lying, we know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, and we know they know we know they are lying". Apparently, it now describes the USA.
The anomaly of increased jobs numbers coupled with increased unemployment reflects jobs going to persons not withing the reporting system (illegals) and persons within the reporting system taking on a second job, part-time to survive the massive inflationary impact of government spending/borrowing/printing.

I've come to this point with a healthy and well founded distrust for government numbers, politicians, polls, insurance companies, financial planners, government agencies, endless wars and honest elections.
[BEE] U.S. — Joe Biden's ugly spill at the Air Force commencement ceremony has led the American public to vote to approve adding the question "Can you walk and speak in sentences?" to the official job application for President of the United States.
"We never thought making this a requirement would be necessary," said concerned voter Zach Lewis. "I think everyone just assumed being ambulatory and having the ability to form words with your mouth and string them into coherent sentences that express rational thought would be a minimum for people serving in the highest office in the land, but apparently not."
The White House immediately voiced strong opposition to the addition of the question, accusing its proponents of discrimination. "These requirements represent pure prejudice," said Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "Becoming Leader of the Free World should not come with any qualifications or requirements. It's hateful and, quite frankly, un-American."
Sources say the addition of the question to the job application for President may deal a severe blow to the future aspirations of other potential candidates, such as Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator John Fetterman. When reached for comment, Fetterman grunted three times before reciting what witnesses believed to be fragments of lyrics from a Linkin Park song. A spokesperson for Kamala Harris was quick to assert the Vice President is capable of speaking in full sentences, regardless of whether or not they convey any actual substance.
At publishing time, further questions were under consideration to be added, including "Is your son addicted to crack cocaine?" and "Are you currently on the payroll of the Chinese Communist Party?"

Every candidate for federal offices should have to take a citizenship test with an emphasis on the Constitution. It shouldn't be an obstruction to run, just a test who's results are publicly published months before an election.

Sadly, not actually a joke. Points off.
The thing about the media gaslighting is, they'll just go on like they never said anything. They have no credibility, and they have no shame (which is why they have no credibility).

[BEE] ARLINGTON, VA — Language learning company Rosetta Stone announced today it was introducing a new course designed to teach users the difficult language that had previously only been spoken by President Joe Biden.
The course, named "Bidenese," fully immerses the user in Joe Biden's unique dialect. "Millions of people are eager to find out what the President is saying," said Rosetta Stone CEO & Chairman John Hass. "We're excited to unlock this previously indecipherable language for the entire world." Trunalimunumaprzure!
Pre-orders for the course were already coming in by the thousands, with many of them coming from journalists, members of Congress, and foreign leaders from around the globe. "We've spent the last two and a half years having no clue what he was saying," said a spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "You can imagine how difficult it is to negotiate important policy agreements when no one on Earth speaks the other person's language."
Surprisingly, Democratic Party strategists were privately expressing concern that having the public at large know what Biden is actually saying may work to his detriment. "He's been able to sneak by using the whole ’unintelligible old man' gimmick for a long time," said media personality James Carville. "If voters gain the ability to translate what he's saying, it could turn them off in droves. It would be disastrous for his re-election chances."
At publishing time, Rosetta Stone was also planning to create a course that would allow users to make sense of Vice President Kamala Harris's speeches, though the company was having trouble finding any living soul who could translate them.
[YouTube] Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at what appears to be another massive hack that's been ranging for nearly 4 years uninterrupted for iOS users. Russia's FSB accused the NSA yesterday of spying on their top officials for years using insane zero-day exploits only available from their words through the help of Apple.

Personally, I don't buy it. I mean what are you suggesting? Dozens of federal workers doing their assigned jobs with diligence and care when they should be stalking ex-girlfriends or some furry convention?
Right. Make sure that .30-40 gets here in time for Cuba.

Yes, I believe Russians are the second most prolific hackers in the world following China and followed by Ukraine. So, yes, they deserve to get hacked back although, in my mind, the big question is why nobody ever says anything about the far more prolific Chinese hackers.
But I think the concern for Americans is that the hack was embedded in all iPhones, wherever they are sold and used, not just Russia, and that the NSA is indeed spying on us. At least that's what the Russians are saying. But with the American intel community you just never know. As badanov will attest, this story in Regnum can be translated to English by clicking a button on the page. The translation was posted to Rantburg yesterday but is now archived.
From the link:
The information received indicates Apple’s close cooperation with the US National Security Agency and contradicts the company's stated privacy policy, the FSB emphasized. The agency added that Apple provides American intelligence services with great opportunities to track and control any individuals, including US allies and its own citizens.
I never liked iPhones anyway and part of the reason is that they are all Made in China which makes them suspect right off the bat. Samsung smart phones are made in places like Korea and Vietnam.
I understand that my Android's smart phone operating system software is controlled by Google and is therefore every bit as suspect as Apple's iOS but at least the hardware is not Made in China.

[REGNUM] A U.S. Air Force drone controlled by the U.S. Air Force’s artificial intelligence (AI) decided to eliminate the operator after the AI thought the person was interfering with its mission. The British The Guardian wrote about this on June 2. The publication cited the words of the head of the US Air Force AI testing and operations department, Colonel Tucker Hamilton , from which it follows that the incident (albeit in simulation mode) occurred during tests of artificial intelligence to control drones.

AI is just the latest buzzword in the information technology (IT) community. The implication might be that it's more sophisticated than Microsoft Word but any computer software, no matter what you call it, will be subject to glitches and bugs just like Word. It will only be as good or bad as the programmers who create it. Always remember: All you need to do to stop it is to pull the plug.
