Totally NOT crazy person on TikTok wants you to know what 'cupiosexual' means and this is completely normal



After singer Beyoncé's recent brush with the PC police over accidentally using an "ableist slur," BlazeTV's Allie Beth Stuckey would never say that the person who posted a video explaining what "cupiosexual" means on TikTok is crazy or loony or totally insane. Sure, this person gyrates around in some sort of peculiar dance that involves extreme close-ups of her nostrils and some maniacal cackling, but that's only because she really, really wants you to understand that there are people out there who "do not feel sexual attraction toward others," but they still "wish or want to be in a sexual relationship with someone."

Got it? No? Well, just watch the video below to hear our totally not crazy TikToker explain:


"That person is sadly unhinged," Allie commented. (Note that she did not call anyone "crazy.")

"And she's getting affirmation for her mental instability on TikTok," Allie added. (Okay, well, sometimes you have to call a spade a spade.)

'We give eff-all about your opinions': Prince Harry gets WRECKED for trashing America in UN speech



While speaking to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Prince Harry trashed the United States Supreme Court for "the rolling back of Constitutional rights" as part of "a global assault on democracy and freedom."

While Leftists on Twitter were quick to applaud any form of America-bashing, conservatives came to a quick consensus about what exactly the prince could do with his royal opinion.

Video captures the moment Biden proudly reveals the REAL reason for wearing masks



President Joe Biden kicked off his trip to Asia with a virtue-signaling stunt-gone-viral as he arrived in South Korea. As he exited Air Force One, the president marched proudly down the stairs with a mask on — the outdoor stairs, with no one nearby — and then whipped the mask off to shake hands and chat closely with a group of roughly a dozen people.

A video shared by the Post Millennial has racked up more than 2 million views on Twitter, with many commenters jumping to the president's defense by pointing out that he was following "the science" that says we should all wear masks on airplanes to stay "safe." Thinking people, however, noted how quickly our commander in chief forgot what masks are actually supposed to do — unless, of course, their only purpose is to virtue-signal.

'ABSOLUTELY NOT' trends after Biden makes disturbing statement about kids in the classroom



President Joe Biden on Wednesday told teachers that children are "yours when they’re in the classroom" and "not somebody else’s" during the 2022 National and State Teachers of the Year event at the White House.

"You have heard me say it many times about our children, but it is true. They’re all our children," Biden said of school students. "And the reason you are the teachers of the year is because you recognize that they’re not somebody else’s children. They’re like yours when they’re in the classroom."

The president was reiterating a statement made earlier in his speech when he said, "They’re not someone else’s children, they’re our children. And they are the kite strings that literally lift our national ambitions aloft."

BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey of "Relatable" joined the droves of concerned parents and caretakers who are fed up with progressive propaganda, such as Critical Race Theory and lessons about sexual orientation or gender identity, being taught in schools starting as early as kindergarten.

'I'm calling you out': Sen. Joni Ernst puts Biden nominee on the spot with blown-up image of her past tweet mocking Ernst



Things got a tinge awkward during confirmation hearings for Tennessee Valley Authority board nominees on Wednesday when Sen. Joni Ernst confronted one of President Biden's picks with a blown-up image of a past insensitive tweet she posted.

The nominee, Beth Prichard Geer, a former chief of staff for Al Gore, had just finished touting her respect for civility and ability to "build relationships and work together" when Ernst trotted out a life-size skeleton from Geer's closet indicating otherwise.

Those words "appear to be a recent sentiment," Ernst chided, as she directed the audience's attention to a floor chart showcasing a tweet Geer sent in 2015 that mocked either Ernst's physical appearance, political views, or both.

I would have died on the spot\n\n@SenJoniErnst just confronted a Biden nominee with a FLOORCHART of her 2015 tweet attacking Ernst\u2019s physical appearance pic.twitter.com/Ysh51OUKar
— Lyndsey Fifield (@Lyndsey Fifield) 1649283026

"That's me with darker hair, much shorter, in 2015," Ernst said. "You can see that Beth Geer tweeted out at [the accounts of] Fox News and at Sen. Joni Ernst, ‘hideous.'"

Geer's tweet was in reaction to Ernst's delivery of the Republican response to President Obama’s 2015 State of the Union address.

@FoxNews @SenJoniErnst hideous
— Beth Prichard Geer (@Beth Prichard Geer) 1421811584

"Can you explain that tweet?" Ernst asked, putting Geer on the spot.

Clearly flummoxed by the situation, the nominee first responded by claiming she couldn't read the image.

"I just read it to you. 'Hideous,'" Ernst shot back, going on to read a quote from her speech that was highlighted in Fox News' original post.

Geer then mustered up a half-hearted apology.

"Well, I apologize if I offended you, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention," she said. "And I do, in fact, believe that civility is key, and I’m sorry that I did not demonstrate that, in your opinion, with that tweet."

Ernst then wondered aloud if Geer has "made a habit of calling women that disagree with you ‘hideous,' or if it was simply an exception."

She then said: "Folks, this tweet is from 2015. We heard a lot about tweets in the former administration. This is prior to that. This is not Iowa nice and I’m calling you out."

Later in the hearing, the senator was even more direct in her questioning.

"Ms. Geer, when you called me hideous, were you referring to my appearance or to the views that I held and are held by many Americans across this country?" she asked.

Geer denied that she was referring to Ernst's physical appearance when she posted the tweet. But the senator turned Geer's response on its head, noting that if it was her views that Geer was attacking, the problem is even worse.

"Ma’am, I’ll cut you off right there," she said. "How else could this come across? The word hideous, to me, only has one meaning. And the views I expressed in my State of the Union response were personal experiences. So maybe you didn’t appreciate that I grew up on a small, rural farm in an economically disadvantaged area of Iowa. Maybe you didn’t like that my mother had to put bread bags on my shoes when I went to school. Maybe you didn’t like that, but a lot of Americans have had the same experiences that I have had. And so to call my personal views as hideous is an affront to half of America."

In conclusion, Ernst noted that "in a world begging for civility, we should give them that civility," but expressed doubt that Geer would be fit for doing so. The senator stated her intention to vote against Geer's nomination.

Conservative host  TRIGGERS groomers in EPIC Twitter throw down​



When it comes to morally corrupt political views, we can always count on the left-wing progressive ideology to provoke head-scratching reactions from sane citizens. With their knack for devaluing innocence and purity, progressives fiercely defend abortion, feminism, and all things LGBTQ+ in ways that make the stomach churn.

BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey of "Relatable" took on the woke mob and masterfully hijacked tactics used by Marxists on the left for an epic throw down on leftists currently crying about being called "groomers" for pushing against Florida's anti-grooming bill.

But first, here are a few examples of woke Twitter's reaction to being called "groomers."


If you use the word #Groomers to talk about the LGBTQ+ community or anyone who supports us, you're a homophobic asshole.

Allie's thread began, “It’s not enough to be not a groomer. One must be actively anti-grooming. Those who defend themselves against accusations of grooming are simply expressing Groomer Fragility. They harbor secret groomer traits & must be shown the ways they’ve benefited from systemic grooming."

"Silence is violence when it comes to the grooming of children," Allie continued. "Unless you are actively working to dismantle the systems of grooming, you are upholding the institutions that have oppressed children for centuries. It’s time to listen & learn. Know better so you can do better.”

— Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) April 6, 2022

"Get educated on this, but also don’t make those of us doing this work expend any more energy than we have to by teaching you," Allie continued. "Resources on this stuff abound. I recommend starting with the brave @libsoftiktok to see how what this system of grooming looks like."

It’s time we stop centering groomers and work to establish anti-grooming policies and programs. I recommend a government division, The Anti-Grooming Task Force, in which unelected anti-grooming activists determine whether institutions are sufficiently anti-grooming.
— Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) April 6, 2022

The Babylon Bee has got to be envious of how the left is mocked for the atrocities it perpetuates on children in public schools. Allie hit the left on critical race theory, grooming children, its insatiable appetite for extensive government programs, and its casual hatred for children at every life stage — womb to the grave.


Oh, and Christians: if your pastor isn’t teaching anti-grooming sermons, you need to find a new church. He is upholding Groomer Supremacy & is on the wrong side of history. The church has a long history of supporting or ignoring grooming. Do. Better. Church.
— Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) April 6, 2022

Of course, Allie did receive some pushback from humorless conservatives. You know the type: The poor souls who are blind to nuance and see emotions in hi-definition. "Becoming the Left is counterproductive.," some replied. Epic.

What else?

Allie is not the only conservative taking "groomers" to task.


When I was a kid, I was taught that anyone who says, "Let's keep this a secret from your parents," was a very bad person.

It shouldn't take legislation to get these #groomers out of our schools. It should only take common sense.

Video: Massive trucker protest takes over Ottawa. Justin Trudeau reportedly moved to secret location ahead of 'Freedom Convoy' rally.



Truckers and protesters showed up in huge numbers as the Freedom Convoy descended upon Ottawa, Ontario. Despite subzero windchill temperatures on Saturday, Canadians mounted a large protest against vaccine mandates. Massive crowds peacefully protested against government overreach near Parliament Hill.

Truckers were protesting an order that went into effect on Jan. 15, requiring unvaccinated Canadian truckers re-entering the country from the U.S. to get tested for COVID-19 and quarantine themselves. There was reportedly a convoy of up to 50,000 Canadian truck drivers who traveled to Canada's capital to protest the vaccine mandates.

The CBC reported that Trudeau left Rideau Cottage early Saturday for security reasons, and was transported to a secret location with his family.

Trudeau's press secretary Ann-Clara Vaillancourt responded, "The Prime Minister is continuing to isolate in the National Capital Region & work remotely. We’ve consulted Ottawa Public Health on appropriate protocols. As always, we do not comment on security matters."

Last week, Trudeau called the trucker convoy a "small fringe minority of people" who are "holding unacceptable views that they are expressing do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other."

There were thousands of protesters, many waving Canadian flags and some were holding signs expressing contempt toward Trudeau.

Some truckers said they plan on continuing their protest against the vaccine mandates, and will sleep in the cabs of their trucks.

In a letter to the truckers, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe pledged to end proof of vaccination policies in the province.

"My government supports your call to end the cross border ban on unvaccinated truckers," Moe said in the statement released on Saturday. "And it is why, in the not too-distant future, our government will be ending our proof of negative test/proof of vaccination policy in Saskatchewan."

Russell Brand, Don Cherry, Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, and Elon Musk have voiced their support of the "Freedom Convoy."

During a rally in Texas on Saturday night, former President Donald Trump delivered an endorsement of the Canadian truckers.

"We want those great Canadian truckers to know that we are with them all the way," Trump said. "They are doing more to defend American freedom than our leaders by far."

Americans begin receiving at-home COVID tests — but make shocking discovery on back of packages: 'Made in China'



You literally cannot make this up.

As Americans began receiving free at-home COVID-19 tests kits distributed by the Biden administration this week, many Americans began noticing something odd about the tests: They are made in China.

What are the details?

Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer noted on "America's Newsroom" Tuesday that after ordering four at-home COVID tests — which he received in quick fashion — he observed on the backs of the boxes that the tests were manufactured in China.

"I got mine yesterday. All four of them came. Congrats U.S. government — U.S. Postal Service did a great job," Hemmer explained. "Got my four tests. And on the back of the fine print, Dana, it is made in China."

"Of course," co-host Dana Perino quipped.

Got my \u201cfree\u201d COVID tests. What a joke. Not only are they made in China but the \u201csealed\u201d tube was open and went everywhere. Theoretically, I could only use one test because of the lack of solution. pic.twitter.com/dn18DGhnsi
— Beth Baumann (@Beth Baumann) 1643071734

The tests in question are manufactured by iHealth Labs Inc. Even though the company is headquartered in California, the backs of the testing packages clearly state that the tests were made in China.

According to Reuters, iHealth Labs Inc. is a subsidiary of Andon Health Co Ltd, a Chinese medical supplies company.

The Defense Department announced on Jan. 14 that the U.S government had awarded iHealth Labs Inc. a contract worth $1.275 billion to produce millions of at-home rapid COVID-19 antigen tests. The contract will supply testing kits that serve up to 250 million people, Reuters noted.

New York and Massachusetts have also signed contracts with iHealth Labs Inc. for rapid at-home antigen tests.

What was the reaction?

As Americans began receiving their Chinese-made tests, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) condemned the Biden administration for procuring COVID tests from China of all places.

Scott said the Biden administration should have prioritized American-made tests instead of sending more taxpayer dollars to China.

"Senator Scott thinks it is unacceptable that the Biden administration would spend American taxpayer dollars on COVID tests from Communist China, which just goes directly to supporting General Secretary Xi and his genocidal regime, instead of supporting American manufacturers and jobs," Scott said in a statement.

"The federal government has a responsibility to support American manufacturers, and we cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that it was the Chinese Communist Party that lied about this deadly virus, tried to hide it, and has continuously covered up the origins of COVID-19," he added.

One week before the Defense Department announced the contract with iHealth Labs Inc., Scott wrote Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra urging him to not buy Chinese-made tests.

What was the Biden admin's response?

An administration official told Fox News that not all of the contracts were awarded to iHealth Labs Inc (in fact, the Defense Department announced on Jan. 14 two contacts for two domestic companies to produce the COVID tests), and explained the administration was forced to look to international manufactures because the U.S. does not have adequate manufacturing capacity stateside.

The statement said:

We are procuring as many US-made at-home tests as are available to purchase, while also purchasing additional, FDA authorized at-home tests that are made in other parts of the world. Together this ensures that we are making available as many at-home tests for the American people as possible and importantly, we’re doing so in a way that ensures we are not interfering with other channels where people can get at home tests, including through their states, pharmacies and online retailers.

Importantly, every at-home test that is available to the American people has underwent a rigorous FDA approval process guaranteeing that it is of the highest quality.

Last week, White House press secretary Jen Psaki was confronted over a damning Vanity Fair report that alleged the Biden administration rejected a plan in October that sought to mass-produce and mass-distribute at-home COVID tests before the holiday season. When confronted, Psaki said the administration rejected the plan because of lagging manufacturing capabilities.

If that was the case more than three months ago and is the case today (as proven by the Biden administration procuring Chinese-made tests), one thus wonders why the Biden administration has not worked to ensure the U.S. acquires the necessary manufacturing capabilities to meet domestic needs.

Pakistani 'gender programs,' horse-racing integrity, climate monitoring in Tibet: Just a few of the ridiculous things thrown into the COVID relief omnibus package



On Monday, Congress passed a long-awaited $900 billion coronavirus relief bill as a part of a $2.3 trillion omnibus spending package to fund the the government through next September, and as you might expect, the behemoth piece of legislation included far more than just stimulus checks and pay for government workers.

In fairness to the nation's lawmakers, they were only granted a handful of hours to review the more than 5,000-page document before they were expected to vote for its passage. It's doubtful that anyone outside congressional leadership read it, but nevertheless it received overwhelming support from both Republicans and Democrats in both chambers.

Now that the legislation has been approved, details about what exactly is in it have started to trickle out — and, needless to say, it's not pretty.

What are the details?

Included in the bill are millions of dollars to fund "gender programs" in Pakistan, fund new cars for federal HIV/AIDS workers, and establish a Climate Security Advisory Council, according to Grabien Media founder Tom Elliott, who posted a lengthy Twitter thread with snapshots of the document Monday night.

Money is even set aside to fund an investigation of the "1908 Springfield Race Riot" and enforce horse-racing integrity.

Evidently, lawmakers thought it unacceptable not to provide funding for a museum to celebrate "the life, art, history, and culture of women." Oh and they also made sure to appropriate funding for programs to discourage teenagers from drinking under age and engaging in unsafe sex.

Townhall reporter Beth Baumann even discovered a section of the bill where millions of dollars are set aside to monitor the climate change taking place in Tibet.

Wait. It looks like it's $1,00,000. And there's a scholarship too. https://t.co/oBLPhNk4N6

What else?

In a blistering speech on the Senate floor, Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) denounced the bill and called out the so-called conservatives who abandoned their "soul" and their "fiscal integrity" to vote for it.

"If free money was the answer ... if money really did grow on trees, why not give more free money? Why not give it out all the time?" the senator asked.

"Why stop at $600 a person? Why not $1,000? Why not $2,000?" he said in reference to the forthcoming stimulus checks set to be distributed to every American. "Maybe these new Free-Money Republicans should join the Everybody-Gets-A-Guaranteed-Income Caucus? Why not $20,000 a year for everybody, why not $30,000? If we can print out money with impunity, why not do it?"

The legislation passed in the Senate by a vote of 91-6. Five Republicans — Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Rick Scott (Fla.), Mike Lee (Utah), and Ron Johnson (Wis.) — joined Paul to vote against the bill. Prior to that, the bill passed in the House by a vote of 359-53, with only 53 members — 50 Republicans, 2 Democrats, and 1 independent — disapproving.
