Twitter has suspended the official account of Indiana Rep. Jim Banks (R) on Saturday for acknowledging the biological reality of newly appointed rear admiral Rachel Levine.

The Department of Health and Human Services had announced Tuesday that former Assistant Secretary of Health Levine would be sworn in as the department’s “first-ever female four-star admiral.“

After Surgeon General Vivek Murthy celebrated Levine’s appointment as “the first female four-star officer to serve in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps” on Tuesday, Congressman Jim Banks criticized the description.

“The title of first female four-star officer gets taken by a man,” Banks, a Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan, said.

Twitter’s ban notification to Banks claimed that calling a man a man “violate[s] our rules against hateful conduct,” adding that his biologically accurate tweet “promotes violence.”:

This Three women, who remain anonymous, have joined forces with the leading French feminist group ‘Osez le feminisme’ (Dare to be feminist) to file a complaint against Miss France accusing them of discrimination for allegedly selecting contestant winners based on their appearance.

The lawsuit alleges the pageant is in violation of French labor law by having discriminatory selection criteria, obliging aspiring winners to be more than 5ft 5in (1.65m) tall, single and ‘representative of beauty’.

French labor law forbids companies from discriminating on the basis of ‘morals, age, family status or physical appearance.

The UK government has told Britons to do as they are instructed by the government “not just to save lives, but to keep your freedoms too” in an unscheduled address to the nation about the coming winter months.

Announced lunchtime, the Wednesday evening address to the nation by now-health secretary Sajid Javid — who replaced previous incumbent Matt Hancock after a series of scandals eroded faith in the politician — announced no new restrictions as feared, but instead buttressed the government’s position that the public needed to do as they are told to prevent future lockdowns.

Speaking from Downing Street’s new Whitehouse-style press room, Javid said: “We’ve always known the winter months would pose the greatest threat to our road to recovery… ahead of winter, just as we’ve expected, we’ve started to see this impact. Cases are rising.”

Hundreds of Netflix employees staged a walkout Wednesday in protest of comedian Dave Chappelle, who made jokes about the transgender community in his latest special “The Closer.”

The walkout was announced shortly after Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos said he would not remove Chappelle’s special from the streaming platform.

Videos from the event outside the company’s offices in Los Angeles show confrontations between the protesters and Chappelle fans who showed up to simply say that “jokes are funny.”

One man who showed up to the anti-Chappelle demonstration had his “We Like Dave” signed stolen and was accosted by angry protesters.

The leaders of the walkout also used the anti-Chappelle walkout to release a predictable list of demands to Netflix, including hiring “more trans and non-binary content executives,” and increasing “investment in trans and non-binary content.”

Sarandos eventually apologized to the trans mob Tuesday for not acknowledging their “pain and hurt” regarding his decision to keep Chappelle’s comedy special on the Netflix.

“I screwed up that internal communication,” Sarandos told Variety. “I did that, and I screwed it up in two ways. First and foremost, I should have led with a lot more humanity. Meaning, I had a group of employees who were definitely feeling pain and hurt from a decision we made. And I think that needs to be acknowledged up front before you get into the nuts and bolts of anything. I didn’t do that. That was uncharacteristic for me, and it was moving fast and we were trying to answer some really specific questions that were floating. We landed with some things that were much more blanket and matter-of-fact that are not at all accurate.” http://globalreportage.org/2021/10/20/dave-chappelle-fans-face-off-against-netflix-employees-protesting-comedians-trans-jokes/

Victorian premier Daniel Andrews declared restrictions for the unvaccinated will continue on into 2022.

Speaking at a news conference Tuesday, Andrews commented he’s unsure why the state of New South Wales has set a timetable for easing restrictions on the unvaccinated, but that it won’t be happening in Victoria.

“That doesn’t make any sense to me in any event and we won’t be doing that here,” he said.

“Why would you get the system going, why would you have the thing up and running and then essentially pull down all of the architecture that you’ve built, the culture that you’ve changed – why would you change that four or five weeks later? We will not be doing that here.”

“I’m not going to say to someone, just wait it out, just wait for five weeks and then you will be able to the pub,” Andrews said.

“No, if you make the judgement not to get vaccinated and you reckon you can wait out us, or the public, or whoever you want to think you’re waiting out, you won’t wait out the virus cause the virus will be here for a long time and your only protection against it is being vaccinated.”

“This will be well into 2022… well and truly into 2022,” the Australian premier outlined, next describing how the state of Victoria will go after booster dose refusers.

As further evidence that the US school system has lost the plot, students in Georgia were instructed to consider ‘eating babies’ as a way of solving world hunger. How much more depraved does it have to get before people wake up?

In the ongoing series entitled ‘US Schools Go Insane,’ one institution apparently thought that by slapping a ‘satire’ sticker on the most profane idea imaginable, the contraband would go unnoticed. On behalf of satire, I’m happy to report it didn't work.

As part of the inventive English lesson, which probably spoiled more than one trip to the cafeteria, high school students at Richmond Hill were tasked with finding ways of ‘raising and eating of babies to solve the world hunger problem’. Yum. Rhonda Thomas, founder and president of Truth in Education, broke down the details of the class assignment in a shocking interview with The New American. The information from the lesson plan that she divulged is nothing short of – as Thomas herself described it – “satanic.”

“Since the child has passed we don’t need to take up any more land for cemeteries so we slap [the babies] on the grill and cook their flesh and make delicious hamburgers…For mass production, we would encourage the US government to create a business negotiation with China about trying to reduce their population by donating children to our government,” the instruction stated.

“We also take children from all organizations, including foster care.”
