School board director Jenn Mason to teach sexual 'pleasure' class to 9-year-olds
[NYPOST] A Washington state school board director who owns a sex shop is making headlines after announcing she will teach sex education classes for children as young as 9 on topics such as "sexual anatomy for pleasure" and "safer sex practices for all kinds of sexual activities."

"The class for 9- to 12-year-olds is an introduction to topics related to relationships, puberty, bodies, and sexuality. We focus on what makes healthy vs. unhealthy friendships and romantic relationships, the science of how puberty works, consent and personal boundaries, defining ’sex’, and discussing why people may or may not choose to engage in sexual activities," Jenn Mason, owner of sex shop WinkWink in Bellingham and school board director for the Bellingham School District, told KTTH radio host Jason Rantz.
Enough voters preferred Jenn over the other candidates to vote her into office, a distressing thought.
Mason announced there will be four, three-hour sex education classes held at WinkWink next month as part of an event billed the "Uncringe Academy." The classes, which Mason will teach, are broken down by age, with 9- to 12-year-olds in one class and 13- to 17-year-olds in another class.

Class topics include, "What IS sex? Kinds of solo and partnered sexual activities," "Sexual anatomy for pleasure and reproduction," "Gender and sexual identities," "Safer sex practices for all kinds of sexual activities," among others. The description of the classes stipulates that the "workshops are divided by age and presentation of topics will vary for developmental appropriateness (sic)."

WinkWink is described as a "woman-owned, identity-inclusive sex shop" that is "sex-positive, body-positive, and gender-affirming." While the "Uncringe Academy" is advertised as offering "honest, supportive, and inclusive sex education classes to help young people of all genders and sexual identities understand this important part of their life."
Operation Sunlight adds:
This is not the first time the school board director has garnered attention for such activities. She has hosted events for “queer youth” in the past, garnering the attention of many in her city.

Mason is hosting these classes as a small business owner, not as a school director or associated with the Bellingham School District.
So it isn’t mandatory for all students in the district, but is being offered as an outside service for those whose parents are willing to pay the extra fee. Whew!

Biden Selling Strategic Reserve Oil Overseas
See also here.
[Townhall] As a result of his domestic war on the oil and gas industry, energy prices for American families continue to hit records with no relief in sight.

For months, President Joe Biden has repeatedly tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and claimed it was helping to ease the pain at the pump. Not only has the depletion of the emergency supply not decreased gas prices, we're learning the supply is being sold to foreign countries.

"More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency oil reserves release aimed at lowering domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices touched record highs," Reuters reports. "The export of crude and fuel is blunting the impact of the moves by U.S. President Joe Biden designed to lower record pump prices."

#1  it gets worse, as this article points out that the Chinese are buying it and using it to fill THEIR strategic reserves.

"he American Energy Alliance points out that it's actually worse than it looks -- China isn't even using the oil -- it's stockpiling it for its own strategic petroleum reserves, meaning, the U.S. oil taken off the market is not helping to lower the price of crude even on a worldwide basis.

China has also refused to play Biden’s game. Biden thought he had coordinated a global effort to release more than 1 million barrels per day of strategic oil reserves in order to reduce gasoline and diesel prices since he expected those reserves to be refined and sold to consumers. However, for every barrel of reserve the President has sold, China has taken a barrel off the global market, adding it to Chinese stockpiles. China’s stockpiling eliminated any benefit to U.S. consumers from the SPR release, instead reducing U.S. energy security while strengthening China’s energy security"

Joe Biden has allowed FIVE MILLION barrels of oil from US national supply to be shipped abroad after claiming they'd be released to help lower soaring gas prices
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] See also here.
  • Joe Biden on April 21 announced the largest-ever release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, in a bid to reduce soaring energy costs

  • The move has put one million additional barrels on the market per day on average, every day, and will continue for six months, until October

  • Yet in June more than five million barrels were exported to Europe and Asia, despite the record price highs in the United States

  • Phillips 66 shipped about 470,000 barrels of sour crude from Texas to Trieste, Italy

  • Atlantic Trading & Marketing (ATMI), an arm of French oil major TotalEnergies, sent 1.12 million barrels

  • Cargos of oil were also sent to the Netherlands, India and China and more will leave Louisiana in July

Government Corruption
Karine Jean-Pierre won't discuss Biden voicemail on Hunter's laptop
[NYPOST] White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to discuss a 2018 voicemail from President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter, close friend of an imaginary negro named Corn Pop. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan.......
that was recovered from a laptop that belonged to his son Hunter — further undermining Biden’s claim that he never discussed foreign business deals with his son.

"Why is there a voicemail of the president talking to his son about his overseas business dealings if the president has said he’s never spoken to his son about his overseas business dealings?" Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre at her regular briefing Tuesday.

"Well, first I’ll say that what the president said stands. So if he — that’s what the president said, that is what stands," Jean-Pierre replied.

"He’s leaving a voicemail about a New York Times

... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

article concerning Hunter Biden
...son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him...
’s business dealings and he says, ’I think you’re clear,’ " Doocy interjected. "How is that not him talking to his son about his overseas business dealings?"

"We’re not, from this podium — I’m not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop," Jean-Pierre replied.

"Are you disputing that this is the president’s voice on the voicemail?" Doocy pressed.

Biden admin sues Arizona over law requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections
[FoxNews] The Justice Department contends Arizona's H.B. 2492 violates the National Voter Registration Act and the 1964 Civil Rights Act

The Justice Department is suing Arizona over a law that is slated to take effect next year that would require voters to provide proof of American citizenship to cast ballots in federal elections.

In a court complaint filed Tuesday, the DOJ alleged House Bill 2492 violates the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The law is slated to take effect in Jan. 1 2023. The complaint alleges the law would throw thousands of voters off the rolls.

"For nearly three decades, the National Voter Registration Act has helped to move states in the right direction by eliminating unnecessary requirements that have historically made it harder for eligible voters to access the registration rolls," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. "Arizona has passed a law that turns the clock back on progress by imposing unlawful and unnecessary requirements that would block eligible voters from the registration rolls for certain federal elections."

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said he plans to fight the lawsuit.

"In addition to free rooms and transportation for those illegally entering our country, the DOJ now wants to give them a chance to vote," he said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "It’s another round of Brnovich v. Biden. I will once again be in court defending Arizona against the lawlessness of the Biden administration."

#1  You need to show identification for just about everything else, it's no burden to show ID for voting. Not having to show ID makes it easier to steal elections.

#2  Time to ignore this administration of fools.
Posted by: Dale || 07/06/2022 18:33 Comments || Top||

#3  I think the Supreme Court ruled some years ago that states could require citizenship to vote but could not require proof of citizenship or something like that.
