bill into law on January 8, arguing that it strikes the right balance by allowing parents to have more of a say in what content their children are exposed to in schools. “[Parents are] the first teachers, they’re the best teachers, and that’s very, very important,” DeWine told reporters at the Ohio Statehouse, arguing the bill keeps parents informed of what’s going on in schools.The law is a response to a larger trend across the United States in which conservatives are immensely critical of public education.

“The Weekly Show,” where the pair discussed how political progressives have fallen far behind conservatives in the new media landscape.“I do think there should be some semblance of an idea that, look, [conservatives] are kicking progressive a– right now,” Stewart said.“And if progressives don’t organize their media, their think thanks, and all that, it’s going to continue to happen.”Psaki, a former White House press secretary under former President Joe Biden, retorted, “There is not a left ecosystem that matches the right ecosystem” and named popular comedic podcasters Theo Von and Joe Rogan, who each hosted Trump before the election, as part of the conservative media.“No, I would consider them in more probably libertarian comedic complex, you know,” Stewart said. “If you watch or listen to their shows, a lot of times it’s just pure goofing off.”“I think they are supportive, but they are not relentless in the Trump enterprise.

deluge of virtue-signaling moves taken by Meta to placate conservatives as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office.Last week, CEO Zuckerberg announced that Meta would eliminate its third-party fact-checking system and replace it with a user-based “Community Notes” feature similar to the model employed by X.Meta also overhauled its “Hateful Conduct” policy, carving out a host of exemptions that allow certain types of bias-motivated attacks directed at specific groups, including the LGBTQ community, under the guise of promoting “free speech” on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.When The Intercept wrote about the confusing and seemingly contradictory guidelines for determining what types of content are allowed or prohibited on its platforms, Meta locked access to company policies and training materials, which had previously been publicly accessible.Last Friday, Meta went a step further, announcing it would end diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. It eliminated its chief diversity officer role, ended its goals calling for certain numbers of women and minorities to be hired, and said it would no longer prioritize minority-owned businesses when hiring vendors.Additionally, Meta reportedly deleted nonbinary and transgender themes from its Messenger chat app, which allows users to customize the app’s colors and wallpaper, as reported by 404 Media.

publicly opposed legislation barring youth from accessing gender-affirming care.Starbuck also posted an advertisement in which Harley-Davidson claimed to be “all in on diversity and inclusion.” He claimed that the company “celebrated” its legal department “taking a woke 21-day racial equity and literacy challenge” that promoted works like the “1619 Project,” a book titled Black Panthers and White Lies, and work by Ibram X.

While the modern National Football League has made great strides toward diversity in recent years, from celebrating gay players to promoting LGBTQ inclusion, these moves still generate a peculiar amount of harsh backlash.Most recently, the NFL’s Buffalo Bills took some heat after announcing on June 18 that it would follow several other NFL teams in sponsoring a local chapter of the National Gay Flag Football League (NGFFL).Journalist Carmine Sabia, who promotes himself as “a voice of inspiration and clarity” posted on X that the sponsorship is “what the end of the United States looks like.”This is what the end of the United States looks like.The Buffalo Bills are sponsoring The National Gay Flag Football League. pic.twitter.com/8ac1PZHyxC— Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) June 18, 2024Other right-wing pundits piled on, such as Rob Schmitt of the Newsmax network.“When you thought you could escape the Pride month propaganda by watching football, apparently not,” said Schmitt on the air.

proposed a plan to disaffiliate from the larger church and form a separate, more “traditionalist” Global Methodist Church taking a harder line on social issues, including same-sex marriage and LGBTQ clergy.In total, 7,600 congregations — constituting one-quarter of all U.S.-based congregations — have severed ties with the church.As a result, the overall church has moved toward embracing more progressive positions on various issues, including LGBTQ inclusion.

A transgender-led national nonprofit, The Gender Research Advisory Council & Education (GRACE), has launched its first commercial seeking to change the minds of politically right-of-center Americans to support transgender rights.The sixty-second ad, “Dads,” features an interview with Eric Childs, an Operation Iraqi Freedom combat veteran from rural South Carolina, who is the father of four children — including a transgender teenager. In the ad, Childs expresses how much he loves and supports his 15-year-old son –- whose name is not being published to avoid harassment and threats.

Tyler Gaffney and co-host of the “Barely Filtered” podcast, pushed back on the negative narrative surrounding men in 2024.Louelle Gaffney appeared on “OutKick The Morning” on Thursday with Charly Arnolt and called out the hypocrisy of the left who push down men but “can’t define what a woman is.”“We keep pushing men down and men are so amazing,” she said. “They literally built this country.

Green Day changed its lyrics to take a shot at former President Trump and his followers.Playing the 2004 hit for “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” on ABC Sunday night, the band changed the lyrics of the second verse for the MAGA take down.Though lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong appeared to garble the lyrics, multiple outlets reported that he sang, “I’m not a part of a MAGA agenda,” instead of the original, “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda.”Either way, the words “MAGA agenda” could be clearly made out during the performance, which appeared to elicit cheers from the audience. The song was written as a protest of American culture in the post-9/11 era, with verses summing up the band’s discontent with the country. The original lyrics of the second verse state, “Well, maybe I’m the f——, America.

“Your Welcome” with Michael Malice podcast.“The thing about ‘The View’ is that I didn’t know when I signed my contract with ABC that this is forever, that, for the rest of my life, I’m going to be bullied, yelled at, abused, and brought up for years,” McCain, 39, explained. “I haven’t been on that show in years. And I’m just trying to live my life.”The political commentator and daughter of late senator John McCain added that she “didn’t know” when she agreed to do the show that she would “have to deal with these crazy old people just yelling about me all of the time.”“I go whole swaths of time without thinking about them — whole months without thinking about the show or anything,” she continued.

“Triumph The Insult Comic Dog” skewered “The View” co-hosts on Friday, ripping the show’s reputation as hostile to women and especially whatever person sits in the “conservative” chair.The long-running comic puppet act, played by comedian Robert Smigel, appeared as a guest on the ABC daytime talk show and did not play safe with his material.Before a bit where he roasted various GOP politicians, Triumph took aim at the ladies of “The View,” with Joy Behar drawing a lot of the fire.“I was at Joy Behar’s 80th birthday party. I performed.

Reuters, no previous Gay Games had fewer than 8,000 participants.But the week prior to the event, only 2,381 athletes had registered to play in Hong Kong, and only 2,458 participants had registered for Guadalajara.The opening ceremonies of the Gay Games last Thursday drew criticism from local anti-LGBTQ conservative politicians, eight of whom backed a petition circulated by anti-LGBTQ groups demanding the Gay Games’ cancellation due to fears of spreading “Western ideology,” reports CNN.Junius Ho, a firebrand conservative lawmaker, suggested that the Gay Games violate provisions within the country’s new national security law that prohibit foreign powers from interfering in Hong Kong’s governance. This is based on the idea that support for homosexuality is a form of Western imperialism and is too closely connected with pro-freedom movements that have warred with China’s Communist-led government.Another lawmaker, Peter Shiu, accused the event of being overly politicized and a form of “advocacy” that was an attempt to impose Western values on Chinese society.Organizers of the Gay Games rebutted those claims, arguing that the event is a non-political celebration of inclusivity.“All our books have been checked by professional accountants, open and transparent,” Lisa Lam, the co-chair of Gay Games, said at a kickoff event last Thursday.

The Telegraph, Forstater accused the company of being irresponsible for its depiction of the transgender actor.“Promoting the removal of healthy breast tissue is not only shockingly immoral, but against advertising standards guidance to not glamorize or trivialize cosmetic surgery,” she said.“Braun executives must have been living under a rock if they think that this campaign represents ‘inclusivity,'” Forstater added. “The reality is that Braun has now written itself into history as promoting social contagion and what will become one of the most notorious medical scandals.”According to the Daily Mail, James Esses, the co-founder of Thoughtful Therapists, a group of psychologists concerned about the impact of “gender identity ideology” on children and young people, whose members oppose “affirmation-only” policies when it comes to recognizing transgender identity, also slammed the ad as irresponsible.“Once again, we find a private corporation willing to glorify irreversible surgery being performed on the healthy breasts of women, in pure pursuit of profit,” he said.

The New York Times opinion columnist Ross Douthat scorched the novel in a piece headlined “How America Made James Bond ‘Woke,’” warning that it juxtaposes a progressive version of the globetrotting spy against a caricature of conservatism, “007 is charged with protecting King Charles III from a dastardly plot hatched by a super villain,” Aethelstan of Wessex, who can be described as a “Brexiteer, a right-wing populist, apparently the true and natural heir to Goldfinger and Blofeld.”He goes on to note that Bond, known for womanizing in the past, is in a romantic “situationship” with an immigration lawyer he permits to sleep with other men, and that his mission is that he “must travel to Viktor Orban’s Hungary to infiltrate the vast right-wing conspiracy and avert a terrorist attack at Charles’s coronation.”Douthat lamented it as yet another example of “American-style wokeness” asserting its power throughout the Anglosphere or countries culturally and linguistically connected to England.

crooner of chart-topping “Rich Men North of Richmond,” believes the government won’t “save us.”In an interview with the Free Press following the overnight success of his viral so-called blue-collar anthem, the country singer said he hopes his music will inspire listeners to stop relying “on someone 150 or 500 miles away from them to solve their problems.”“Nobody in Washington, DC, no one in the federal government’s coming to save us,” he said, according to a clip posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.“The people that are going to save us are each other.”Anthony, who just released a new song Wednesday titled “I Want To Go Home,” claimed that families are “torn apart” due to the influx of technology.“I’ve seen this in my own household at times,” he continued.

mad.” The R&B singer prompted an outcry among conservative listeners after walking back on a controversial comment he made about parenting within the transgender community.On Sunday, Ne-Yo, born Shaffer Chimere Smith, posted his 180-degree apology on X (formerly Twitter), claiming that he has always been “an advocate for love and inclusivity in the LGBTQ+ community.”Several fans of the “So Sick” singer slammed the apology claiming that the rapper had nothing to be sorry for. “Do not be weak Ne-Yo,” wrote conservative influencer and broadcaster Xaviaer DuRousseau.

a trend of filming videos for social media showing them ranting over items in stores, aggressively confronting store employees, and even destroying Pride displays.Many conservatives subsequently accused Target of seeking to “indoctrinate” or “groom” children into either being LGBTQ themselves or being supportive of LGBTQ people.Citing threats it had received from irate shoppers, and a desire to protect their employees from potential violence, Target decided to pull Pride-themed children’s merchandise from stores, especially items incorporating rainbows or that use colors that traditionally have not been associated with a certain gender, such as boys’ clothes in pastel colors, notably pink.The store also pulled a line of adult swimsuits marketed for its ability to “tuck” genitalia for transgender women. Some right-wing outlets had previously reported that the “tuck-friendly” swimsuits were marketed to children, but the Associated Press later confirmed the swimsuits were only for adults.During the May 24 episode of her self-titled podcast for the Daily Wire, Owens asserted that Target was pushing an agenda through its Pride-themed merchandise, and encouraged conservatives to boycott the big box store.“[J]ust in case you think that conservatives are wrong or are joking when we say this stuff is satanic, Target actually hired a satanic designer,” Owens said, referring to another aspect of the Target controversy.

man’s now-deleted Instagram account, but was re-shared Tuesday to the left-leaning watchdog account Patriot Takes, where it’s amassed over 66,000 views.In the shocking footage, captioned “distrubing,” right-wing rabble-rouser Ethan Schmidt can be seen berating a clerk at the discount store Five Below, where they appear to be selling clothing emblazoned with BHM slogans.“This is like very disturbing to me … Like, the Black History and then the LGBT stuff,” Schmidt says to the bewildered female employee, who’s folding clothes at the counter. “Like, why don’t they have like white history month and like why don’t they celebrate straight pride?” He adds, “Why aren’t they more inclusive?”“It’s disturbing, man.
