News Weakly - 4/15/23

Let me just say that I was traveling this week, so there will be less content in this week's entry. I apologize, but it was for a good cause.

Equal Treatment
Just a sampling of stories over the last week or so. A "non-binary birthgiver" claims not to be a mother or a woman. A supposed professor has claimed that there is no such thing as biological gender. Anheuser-Busch lost billions in market value over their partnership with Dylan Mulvaney (a TikTok personality known for gender transition). Insider reports that a "non-binary TikToker" who writes songs for kids holds back for fear of anti-trans backlash. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Seems like this kind of stuff gets way too much coverage ... especially when there are break-ups, gossip, and "who said what to who" to report on. Don't we have something better to report?

Overbearing
Speaking of ridiculous, apparently Disneyland (California) is closing down their Splash Mountain ride next month because ... wait for it ... there is some connection to Song of the South which has been banned because it depicted a happy post-Civil-War ex-slave telling stories to his ex-owner's son. Since they had a song from that movie on the ride, it is definitely out. They'll replace it with something without racial connotations, like the black The Princess and the Frog ride. Hunting down racism wherever we can find it ... and even where we can't.

Getting Rid of Little People
The DOJ and Biden administration are asking the Supreme Court to reverse the ruling that would suspend mifepristone's approval by the FDA. The drug is an abortion pill. Unlike other "abortion pills," mifepristone blocks progesterone needed to sustain pregnancy. That is, it is an abortifacient -- it induces abortion. And if there is anything this current administration (and women everywhere) want, it's a method to quickly and easily counteract their poor choices, moral shortcomings, or inconveniences by killing babies. (You'll notice that Biden was sniffing girls' hair, but not kissing babies. That ought to tell you something.)

A Few from Bee
NPR is quitting Twitter after being labeled "state-affiliated media" on Twitter. They consider it slanderous to be considered either "national" or "public." Others on the Left are deeply concerned about the rise on Twitter of people they hate having free speech. And, of course, you've all heard (I assume) of the latest Clarence Thomas accusastions. Outraged Senate Democrats are calling for an investigation into a black man who went on vacations without their permission.

Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

The trans community bemoans how marginalized they are, and yet they are the ones applauded at every turn and "cis" is seen as a bad thing.
