Woke Colorado School District Teaches 5-Year-Olds Sexual Anatomy Using Images So Bad We Refuse to Post Them– www.westernjournal.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
A Colorado school board is proving once again that the left truly relishes in talking to young children about sex.
In a letter from the Alliance Defending Freedom to the Roaring Fork Schools Board of Education, Director Katherine L. Anderson of the Center for Parental Rights noted some truly disturbing and graphic imagery that children are seeing as part of the 3Rs curriculum, a comprehensive program to teach about sexuality.
The Rs in question refer to “Rights, Respect, Responsibility” according to the website of its creator, Advocates for Youth. The curriculum “seeks to address both the functional knowledge related to sexuality and the specific skills necessary to adopt healthy behaviors. Rights, Respect, Responsibility reflects the tenets of social learning theory, social cognitive theory and the social ecological model of prevention.”
Anderson specified what this looks like in practice. “In kindergarten, children learn to identify ‘at least three body parts of the female, namely the nipples, vulva and anus,’ along with identifying the “nipples, penis and anus” for the male anatomy. But this explicit language — foisted on young children without parental consent — is not all. The accompanying pictures are worth a thousand words.
That same kindergarten lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation called ‘Understanding Our Bodies.’”

2,000 people in Congo dead amid rapidly expanding Ebola outbreak – National– globalnews.ca

EXCERPT:
At least 2,000 people have died in Congo’s Ebola outbreak, the fastest-growing on record, according to the latest data, as rebel conflict, bad roads and work stoppages over payment issues challenge the urgent response in a remote region.
Government data published overnight into Tuesday showed the outbreak has 4,381 confirmed cases, including 2,011 deaths. Starting from the first confirmed case, the death toll was reached almost three times faster than in the 2014-16 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the worst on record.
Doctors File Lawsuit to Stop Illinois’ New Assisted Suicide Law– www.lifenews.com

For more than 40 years, Dr. Mary Keen Kirchoff has dedicated her career to caring for the most vulnerable—the disabled, the elderly. She became a doctor to heal, not to help her patients die.
Starting on September 12, the State of Illinois will order her to push suicide on her patients.
Illinois’s new assisted suicide law makes three demands of every doctor in the state:
• Tell patients about the “benefits” of ending their own lives—even patients who never asked.
• Refer them to someone willing to help them die.
• Falsify a death certificate to hide what really happened.

Texas Democrat James Talarico: Securing the Border Is an ‘Atrocity’– slaynews.com

EXCERPT:
Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D-Austin) is facing renewed scrutiny after past comments resurfaced in which he accused Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of committing “atrocities” and “hunting people” over border enforcement efforts.
The remarks, made during a 2023 podcast appearance, have resurfaced as Talarico attempts to position himself as a “border security” Democrat while seeking statewide office in Texas.
Critics argue the comments highlight a sharp contrast between Talarico’s current campaign messaging and his previous rhetoric on illegal immigration.
Talarico Compared Abbott’s Border Policies to ‘Atrocities’
Appearing on the Texas in Focus podcast in July 2023, Talarico condemned Abbott’s border security initiatives, including the use of floating barriers and razor wire designed to deter illegal crossings.
“I think Greg Abbott’s border stunts have now become atrocities,” Talarico said.
Millions in fraudulent billing for child ‘gender transitions’: Trump admin report– www.lifesitenews.com

EXCERPT:
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) released a report Thursday identifying millions of dollars in insurance claims that billed for underage gender “transition” procedures under false pretenses.
The 64-page report, Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of “Gender Medicine,” examined more than 225 hospitals and health systems nationwide that offer pediatric gender programs by reviewing scientific literature, hospital records, whistleblower accounts, insurance claims, and interviews with patients and their parents.
It found “approximately $50 million in insurance claims for puberty blockers billed using endocrine disorder diagnostic code E34.9 (Endocrine Disorder, Unspecified). It further reported that nearly $11 million in claims for patients ages 13-17 were billed using a diagnosis code for precocious puberty E301 — findings the report said warrant additional review of insurance coding practices,” according to an HHS press release. The report called for greater oversight and review of insurance billing and coding practices as well as further evaluation of “gender medicine” policies.

CALI, Colombia: Hopes of finding more survivors from the powerful earthquake that rocked Colombia early this week were fading on Thursday (Aug 13) as rescue workers narrowed their searches, while families in the worst-hit areas waited for news of missing relatives.
In Cali, the country’s third-largest city, crews have turned their attention from a search-and-rescue effort to debris removal at most sites, a sign the disaster response was entering a grimmer phase after the crucial first 72 hours.
The 7.4-magnitude quake struck shortly after 7:30am local time on Monday (8:30pm, Singapore time), toppling apartment blocks, damaging homes, schools and hospitals and sending residents into the streets across western Colombia, home to the country’s coffee farms.
At least 265 people were killed by the quake and around 500 others are still missing, authorities said on Wednesday afternoon.

A Massachusetts teenager used ChatGPT for “ideas” and “fantasies” about “killing his family” — and now the 17-year-old is charged with murdering his mother and brother, the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office said.

‘At this time, based on the evidence that was found at the scene, it was apparent that blunt force trauma was used in some fashion on both individuals.’
Acton Police received a call shortly after 6:30 p.m. Tuesday from the suspect’s father, who had been unable to reach his family members and said a tutor who was expected at the family home on Martha Lane was unable to make contact with the residents upon arrival, officials said.

EXCERPT:
Troy Jackson, the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine, has a history of violent, rage-fueled aggression toward women, according to recent media reports highlighting his past blow-ups and temper tantrums.
Jackson secured the nomination at a special convention on July 25, 2026, after former Democrat nominee Graham Platner was forced to withdraw from the race due to multiple personal scandals.
According to recent reports, his replacement allegedly got physically violent with his longtime “partner” and second cousin Lana Pelletier during a fiery altercation decades ago. More recently, Jackson reportedly led the State Senate with an explosive and volatile temper, routinely yelling and cursing at female lawmakers.
Banger News Daily on Tuesday detailed a violent incident involving Jackson, Pelletier and another man in 1988, when Jackson was 19-years-old.
According to the police report, Pelletier told officers that Jackson “pushed her around” after he broke down a door and punched an apparent romantic rival at a Fort Kent home.

Israel shuts down Christian village terrorized by Jewish settlers– www.lifesitenews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
(LifeSiteNews) — The Israeli military designated Taybeh — the only village left in the West Bank entirely inhabited by Christians — as a “closed military zone” on Sunday. The decision came against a backdrop of escalating and ongoing Jewish terrorist attacks by Israeli “settlers” on these communities.
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) claimed the measure was introduced in response to “some violent attacks by Israelis in the region.” As a result, Israelis and all other non-residents are prohibited from entering the village.
Although the closure is presented as a protective step, Taybeh mayor Suleiman Khouria observed that it places additional restrictions on the residents themselves and does little to shield them from Jewish “settlers” whose colonies (“settlements” and “outposts”) on stolen Palestinian land are all deemed illegal under international law.
The mayor described the closure as “an attempt to further tighten the noose on villagers rather than a measure to protect them.”
CNN Is Trying To Drum Up Another Race Hoax– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
“Police investigating after a Black woman was found hanging from a tree in Mississippi,” an X post from The Lead on CNN read, accompanied by a reporter hit that aired Wednesday from Omar Jimenez on the death of 29-year-old Tasia Fortune.
Fortune was found hanging from a tree behind an abandoned house earlier this month. Her death is undoubtedly tragic, and the circumstances are being investigated. But CNN appeared to be more interested in trying to insinuate her death is emblematic of racism in America by invoking the imagery of a racist lynching and by breezing past additional reported details surrounding Fortune’s death.
Jimenez stressed that little is known about the circumstances and that police have not said whether her death is considered suspicious, nor have they identified a suspect. But police have also similarly not suggested it was racially motivated either — so naturally, CNN decided to make the crime about race (or at least try).
“The raw imagery of a black person hanging from the tree in the American South evokes a very painful history,” Jimenez said.

Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it gets in way of Iran deal: Report– www.channelnewsasia.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on Monday (Aug 17) threatened to bomb Oman if it “gets in the way” of a US deal with Iran on the Strait of Hormuz and called for Iran to surrender.
“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump told Fox News journalist Trey Yingst, referring to ongoing talks between Oman and Iran on control of the strait, while Washington is also pursuing its own talks.
Iranian and Omani officials have been talking for weeks on future maritime navigation arrangements through the shipping route, and the foreign ministry in Tehran said earlier Monday that the two sides were working on a joint declaration.
However, Trump has repeatedly insisted that the strait – which Tehran effectively closed at the start of the Middle East war on Feb 28 – is under US control despite traffic remaining throttled.
On Friday, Trump claimed that he would even declare the Strait of Hormuz part of US territory, while Iran retorted that the crucial energy waterway it has blockaded “will remain Iranian”.
Prior to the launch of the US-Israeli war against Iran, the Hormuz Strait was considered an open, international waterway. It carries significant portions of global energy shipments, as well as other commodities.

“A multi-racial New Deal, in my view, is what is needed,” Khanna told NPR. “It will probably be one of America’s greatest moments because of what we can do, or will do, in America. I don’t know if it’ll be my generation or the next generation. We will become the world’s first cohesive multi-racial democracy.”
Khanna’s proposal has followed the work of his fellow California Democrats, who approved a “reparations fund” for black residents in San Francisco earlier this year. A proposal for the fund had suggested that the city dole out one-time payments to the tune of $5 million for each eligible party.
