Texas lawmaker introduces bill banning gender identity material through grade 8 in public schools
The bill, HB 1155, would prohibit school districts from providing instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity to students in kindergarten through eighth grade or to older children in a way that is not age-appropriate.
The legislation would also require school districts to keep parents informed about their child’s mental, emotional, or physical well-being, including what health services they are receiving at school.
Parents would also be given the opportunity to decline health-related services for their child.
If signed into law, the Texas bill would take effect this fall when the 2023-2024 school year begins.

‘Romeo And Juliet’ stars sue Paramount Pictures over a nude scene
The stars of the hit 1968 movie “Romeo and Juliet,” who were only 15 and 16 when the movie was filmed, are suing Paramount Pictures for more than $500 million, claiming they were filmed nude without their knowledge.
The lawsuit claims director Franco Zeffirelli, who died in 2019 at 96, had told the actors there would be no actual nudity in the film, that their bedroom scene would feature them wearing flesh-colored underwear. The lawsuit contends that as the filming wound to a close, Zeffirelli asked them to perform nude with body makeup, threatening that without doing so, "the Picture would fail."
Solomon Gresen, the actors’ attorney, comments:
"Nude images of minors are unlawful and shouldn’t be exhibited. These were very young naive children in the ’60s who had no understanding of what was about to hit them. All of a sudden they were famous at a level they never expected, and in addition they were violated in a way they didn’t know how to deal with."
The actors Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting are now 71 and 72.

DC Comics released an issue featuring a “pregnant” Joker who “births” a son
It appears that the Joker was “impregnated” by a nemesis who he became enamored with: the female magician Zatanna. She curses the Joker, proclaiming that no one else could have his baby as she knocks him into a mud puddle. While Zatanna intended for the spell to ensure he never had children, it inadvertently “impregnated” the Joker.
The son, a mud monster who Joker vomits into existence, transforms into a smaller carbon copy of the Joker.
This isn't the DC's first attempt to play the 'woke' card. In the recent “Superman: Son of Kal-El” Clark Kent’s son, Jonathan, was revealed to be bisexual. DC Comics then incorporated this new version of Superman into their “DC Pride” anthology, giving him a makeover with a rainbow Pride Flag cape.

🇬🇧British students protest against "greenwashing" because their university spent £24,000 on a statue of Greta Thunberg
Protestors gathered on the University of Winchester campus to accuse the "upper echelons" of buying "meaningless statues", instead of making concrete climate commitments.
The Hampshire university spent £23,760 on what it claims to be the first life-sized sculpture of the "inspirational" Swedish environmental activist.
Bosses told students that they hoped the bronze figure showed "commitment to combat the climate and ecological emergency".
How dare they!

🇮🇪Meta was hit with a $400 million fine by Ireland for privacy violations
The tech giant was slammed with two fines totaling about 390 million euros. The decision was handed down by Ireland's Data Protection Commission.
Facebook was found to have violated the European Union's privacy rules by essentially forcing users to agree to have their data shared with advertisers in order to customize ad packages to individual users.
The company "is not entitled to rely on the ‘contract' legal basis to deliver behavioral adverts on Facebook and Instagram," the Irish DPC said.
Facebook has vowed to appeal the decisions.

California school district facilitating gender transitions on children without parental consent
The school district, DJUSD and CommuniCare are providing these services under the guise of a “mental health program” for K-12 students. According to CommuniCare’s website, they offer cross-sex hormone medications like testosterone, estradiol, and spironolactone, letters for medical clearance to undergo transition surgeries, and assistance with legal name and gender documents.
DJUSD will allow students as young as 12 years old to be treated by CommuniCare clinicians regarding their gender transition, and parents will not be notified unless the child consents.

Victoria’s Secret brand CEO is leaving the company after less than a year on the job
Amy Hauk will be stepping down as CEO of Victoria’s Secret and Pink.
The company has recently switched from the iconic Victoria’s Secret Angels to plus-size and other inclusive models, such as liberal activist Megan Rapinoe, and even a transgender model — but, unsurprisingly, the wokeness has not paid off.
Victoria’s Secret fired 160 management-level employees over the summer at its Ohio headquarters in an effort to save the business $40 million.
Notably, sales at the lingerie company dropped by 4.5% to $1.5 billion earlier in 2022, the New York Post reported, adding that comparable sales from the same period in 2021 had declined by 8%.

Scientists say there is no biological evidence for gender identity
While the term “gender identity” has exploded in popularity as a way for transgender individuals to express the feeling of “misalignment” with their bodies, a group of scientists says that there is no empirical evidence for its existence in biology.
According to an international group of over 100 clinicians and researchers, there is currently no biological evidence for “gender identity” and no laboratory test that can distinguish a trans-identified person from a non-trans-identified person.
Despite this, the belief in “gender identity” is used as the basis for medically transitioning thousands of children and adolescents.
Did we actually need scientists to confirm what we already know is true??

🇨🇦Doctor who's personally euthanized more than 400 people helped to kill a man who was previously deemed unsuitable for assisted suicide
Ellen Wiebe, a doctor who works with Dying With Dignity Canada, boasted in a seminar for physicians working in assisted suicide about the time she treated a patient who did not qualify for the end of life service.
A Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) assessor had rejected the unnamed man because he did not have a serious illness or 'the capacity to make informed decisions about his own personal health.'
But the man eventually made his way to Wiebe, who cleared him, flew him out to Vancouver, and euthanized him.
"It's the most rewarding work we've ever done," Wiebe said of MAID during a 2020 event in a video that's since been shared online.
Obstetrician Stefanie Green, a colleague of Wiebe, also revealed that she's helped 300 people die in Canada's controversial MAID program, which eclipses similar programs in the US.
In 2021, only 486 people died using California's assisted suicide program, but that same year in Canada, 10,064 people used MAID.

🇦🇺Australian War Memorial is slammed for switching to 'gender neutral' pronouns for fallen soldiers
At 4.45pm ever day, the memorial, based in Canberra, holds a Last Post ceremony to remember a fallen Australian soldier, before posting a tribute to the soldier on its Twitter account.
However, since January 1, it has begun to refer to the solders as 'their' rather than 'his' or 'her'.
A memorial source insisted 'their' was being used to stop mixing up the genders of fallen soldiers.
However, opposition veterans' affairs spokesman Barnaby Joyce criticised the memorial and described the move as 'woeful wokeism'. He branded the decision as the 'worst form of disrespect' for Australia's soldiers and questioned who made the decision to change the policy.
'In the Last Post Ceremony for 1 January 2023, we remember and pay tribute to Flight Lieutenant Leo Braham Patkin and their service in the Second World War,' - one of the Twitter posts states.

Forwarded from Tupi Report 🇧🇷 • #FreeVenezuela
🇧🇷🌐 — Elon Musk fired the ENTIRE TEAM of Twitter in Brazil, including those responsible for moderating content, after discovering that employees benefited leftist politicians in the Brazilian elections.
There is also no more press office for the company in the country. The social network is without a communication area, extinguished after the conclusion of the acquisition of Twitter by Musk, in October.
Only the Twitter sales team is active, and with that, in Brazil, only 0.5% of the total number of employees remain now.

❗️TWITTER FILES: PART 12❗️
The new Twitter files show how Pfizer’s powerful board member secretly tried to suppress debate on the mRNA jabs that have been by far Pfizer’s best-selling product since 2020
▪️Dr. Scott Gottlieb is a former FDA commissioner, a sitting board member of Pfizer and a CNBC expert on COVID matters.
▪️Through Todd O’Boyle, a top lobbyist in Twitter’s Washington office, Gottlieb was able to communicate with Twitter’s “Strategic Response” team and deal with tweets, questioning the Covid vaccine.
Some examples are:
🔹Dr. Brett Giroir wrote on Twitter that natural immunity after Covid infection was superior to vaccine protection and suggested exempting people with natural immunity from upcoming vaccine mandates. The Tweet ended up being labeled as ‘misinformation’.
🔹Justin Hart suggested in a tweet that there was no point in vaccinating children, and that children have lost nearly 3 precious schooling years. Twitter received a complaint through o’Boyle, but did not act on it.
▪️In 2021, Pfizer paid Gottlieb $365,000 for his work.
It is worrying when people with a clear financial interest get to influence the scientific discussion on such important matters as Covid and vaccination.
