#10 UK Gov’t Threatens to ARREST Anyone Who Shares Footage of Riots Online, MSM Demands TOTAL BAN of Social Media - Jamie White for Infowars, Libs of TikTok, and Amuse on X
The UK government is threatening to arrest anyone who shares or even “retweets” footage of the unrest sweeping the region sparked by its mass migration policies and two-tiered policing. And the UK media is demanding a “temporary” national BAN of social media altogether. The Director of Public Prosecutions for England and Wales, Stephen Parkinson, told Sky News on Wednesday that prosecutors are considering bringing “terror offenses” to anyone who’s arrested during the riots, but “wouldn’t go into specific details.” Parkinson also claimed certain social media posts could be considered an “incitement to racial hatred,” which “involves publishing or distributing material which is insulting or abusive, which is intended to, or likely to start racial hatred.”
#9 Doe v. Wiser: Colorado Schools Are Taking Parental Secrecy to an Unconscionable Level - Center for American Liberty, and on X
Schools used to require a signed permission slip before giving a child sunscreen. Today, Colorado’s parental secrecy policies enable “gender affirming” telemedicine without so much as a phone call to parents, much less consent from parents. In a school district outside of Denver, Colorado, this is the reality parents are facing. Our clients—who remain anonymous for fear of retaliation—discovered that their daughter was being transitioned to a boy at school behind their backs. Their daughter, A.D., was in 9th grade, grappling with depression and anxiety, and sought help from a school counselor. During their conversation, A.D. expressed gender dysphoric thoughts. The counselor then began affirming a new identity for A.D. as a male, going so far as to set A.D. up with telemedicine counseling sessions through the state-run I Matter counseling program that assisted in transitioning her gender identity from female to male. All of this occurred without ever requesting permission from A.D.’s parents. The school never even notified them...
#8 Lawsuit: Maricopa County’s Election Chief Is Unlawfully Refusing To Undertake Proper Voter List Maintenance - Shawn Fleetwood for The Federalist, Lady of Magadonia on X
Maricopa County’s election chief is illegally refusing to undertake required voter list maintenance procedures to ensure foreign nationals aren’t voting in Arizona elections, a lawsuit filed Monday alleges. Brought on behalf of the Strong Communities Foundation of Arizona and resident Yvonne Cahill, the legal challenge argues that GOP Recorder Stephen Richer is “ignor[ing]” his legally required duties “to ensure that foreign citizens are removed from Maricopa County’s voter rolls.” Richer — a staunch opponent of election integrity efforts in Arizona — lost his reelection bid during Arizona’s primary elections last week... Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s pledge for the United States to dole out hundreds of millions of dollars to the World Bank’s global Pandemic Fund is facing intense scrutiny by a Republican opponent.Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO), in a letter sent to Yellen on Wednesday and first viewed by the Washington Examiner, accused the Biden Cabinet official of promulgating a proposal that is a “blatant waste of taxpayer dollars and a slap in the face” to Americans. Hunter Biden was hired by a Romanian businessman accused of corruption who was trying to “influence U.S. government policy” during Joe Biden's term as vice president, prosecutors said in court papers Wednesday. Special counsel David Weiss' team said Hunter Biden's business associate will testify at the upcoming federal tax trial of the president's son about the arrangement with the executive, Gabriel Popoviciu, who was facing criminal investigation at the time in Romania. The allegations are likely to bring a fresh wave of criticism of Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings, which have been the center of Republicans' investigations into the president's family. Hunter Biden has blasted Republican inquiries into his family's business affairs as politically motivated and has insisted he never involved his father in his business... Newly minted vice presidential candidate Tim Walz signed a bill in April 2023 that made his state a sanctuary for child sex changes, promoting tourism for such radical medical interventions in defiance of states that restrict them Dubbed the Trans Refuge Bill by supporters, the law grants legal protection to children who travel to Minnesota for so-called gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers, reconstructive genital surgery, and hormone therapy, as well as the medical practitioners who provide it. The law prohibits Minnesota courts or officials from complying with child removal requests, extraditions, arrests, or subpoenas related to a child’s sex-change procedures received in Minnesota, even if they’re a crime in another state... Elon Musk’s social media platform X has sued a group of advertisers, alleging that a “massive advertiser boycott” deprived the company of billions of dollars in revenue and violated antitrust laws. The company formerly known as Twitter filed the lawsuit Tuesday in a federal court in Texas against the World Federation of Advertisers and member companies Unilever, Mars, CVS Health, and Orsted. It accused the advertising group’s brand safety initiative, called the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, of helping to coordinate a pause in advertising after Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in late 2022 and overhauled its staff and policies... MAGA influencers on X have called for a boycott of Dunkin' Donuts after the chief executive of the video platform Rumble alleged that the fast-food chain declined to advertise with it because "the right-wing culture of the site is too polarizing." Rumble is joining Elon Musk's social media company, X, formerly Twitter, in suing a group of advertisers over allegations that they withheld business from the social media firms because of the right-wing content hosted on their platforms. On Wednesday, Rumble chief executive Chris Pavlovski wrote on X that the company approached Dunkin' Donuts and its parent company, Inspire Brands, to consider placing advertising on the site because its audience "over indexes with coffee consumption." Pavlovski posted a screenshot of what appeared to be a redacted email reply from the company: "To be honest, [redacted] I would be opposed to showing up on the current version of the platform—the right-wing culture of the site is too polarizing from a brand suitability standpoint today." They’ve got a big … budget. A gay OnlyFans star was solicited by top allies of Vice President Harris to produce anti-Trump content in advance of the Democratic convention. The only problem: Michael Doherty, 22, is a conservative who loves Trump. “When this agency reached out to me, I was shocked,” the sex star and social-media influencer with 775,000 followers told The Post. “For one, I can’t believe the ‘when-we-go-low-they-go-high’ liberals would pay people to talk trash about Trump . . . Secondly, I can’t believe this agency would be so dumb as to not Google me... A few athletes are leaving the 2024 Summer Olympics with a different kind of hardware — an engagement ring!
