Tucker Carlson turns Asa Hutchinson into 'a PUDDLE of NOTHINGNESS' over the subject of child castration



Last Friday, Blaze Media teamed up with the FAMiLY Leader to host the first presidential forum of the 2024 Republican primary season.

A charismatic and unapologetic Tucker Carlson conducted the interviews, some of which were well-received by the audience while others might be described as bloodbaths.

An unfortunate Asa Hutchinson fell into the latter category.

The Arkansas governor’s confusing stance on the subject of chemical castration for children didn’t go over so well with Tucker, who had several pointed (and entirely justified) questions for Hutchinson.

“But you said that children should be able to choose their gender, and their parents should be able to affirm that, and the state has no role in getting involved,” Tucker fires at a visibly flustered Asa.

“You’re saying that a child shouldn’t be able to choose a bathroom, but he can choose his sex. I don’t understand,” he continues.

“Let me finish!” Asa barks, clearly unsettled by the audience's applause for Tucker’s string of questions.

“I want the government to stay out [of schools],” he retorts, adding, “I want the parents and communities and our faith to guide us through these difficult decisions.”

Tucker isn’t satisfied with that answer though.

“You have repeatedly described delaying a child’s natural progression from childhood to adulthood through adolescence ... as quote ‘treatment,’” Tucker says.

He continues: “You believe, I suppose, that people can change their sex because if you don’t believe that, you wouldn’t call it treatment, would you?”

Dave Rubin fittingly describes Asa as “a puddle of nothingness” after Tucker hits him with this final question.

Congressional Republicans submit a bill to define what a woman is



Republicans in Congress have introduced a bill to define what a woman is.

Republican Representative Debbie Lesko from Arizona sponsored a “Women’s Bill of Rights” to provide additional legal protections to women under federal law, RedState reported.

Noting that establishing a standard for identifying people on the basis of their sex is crucial to societal stability, H. Res. 1136 states: “[T]here are important reasons to distinguish between the sexes with respect to athletics, prisons, domestic violence shelters, restrooms, and other areas, particularly where biology, safety, and privacy are implicated.”

The proposed legislation states that “males and females possess unique and immutable biological difference that manifest prior to birth and increase as they age and experience puberty” and that “biological differences between the sexes can expose females to more harm than males from specific forms of violence, including sexual violence.”

It even defies current leftwing orthodoxy by declaring that only women are able to get pregnant. The bill states “biological difference between the sexes mean that only females may get pregnant, give birth, and breastfeed children.”

The bill also indicates that motherhood and fatherhood are reserved for women and men respectively. The bill states “for purposes of Federal law, the word ‘mother’ means a parent of the female sex and ‘father’ is defined as a parent of the male sex.”

Republican Reps. Jim Banks of Indiana, Mary Miller of Illinois, Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee, Claudia Tenney of New York, Vicky Hartzler of Missouri, Doug Lambron of Kansas, Ronny Jackson of Texas, Doug LaMalfa, Victoria Spartz of Indiana, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, and Barry Moore of Alabama submitted the bill along side Lesko.

Banks, who also serves as the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, argued that this legislation is critical in order to protect the rights of women from leftist attacks.

He said, “The modern Democrat party has put the Left’s woke agenda before the rights of women. These days, Democrats refuse to even admit women exist or recognize them as unique beings, with unique abilities. While radical liberals strip away the progress and protections that generations of women fought to achieve. Republicans must fight back and acknowledge these basic biological truths. AS the father of three daughters, I’m proud to co-lead this resolution reaffirming the legal protections afforded to them under federal law.”

According to a press release from the Republican Study Committee, H. Res. 1136 is also supported by several outside women’s interest organizations such as the Independent Women’s Law Center, Concerned Women for America LAC, Women’s Liberation Front, and the Eagle Forum.

A church in Florida held an LGBTQ+ conference for children 12 to 18



A church in Naples, Florida hosted an LGBTQ+ conference for children and young adults aged 12 to 18.

The event was held at the Naples United Church of Christ and was put on by the Collier County chapter of GLSEN. GLSEN is a national nonprofit organization that, according to its website, “was founded by a group of teachers in 1990” so that educators could “play key roles in creating affirming learning environments for LGBTQ youth.”

The organization focuses on “activating supportive educators” and conducts “extensive and original research to inform our evidence-based solutions for K-12 education.” According to its website, the group will “advise on, advocate for, and research comprehensive policies designed to protect LGBTQ students as well as students of marginalized identities.”

The conference’s Eventbrite page proclaimed that the event was a “one-day conference” that “will provide students with the opportunity to engage in LGBTQ-related issues facing them today while empowering them to be confident in all their identities.”

The church’s conference held a series of seminars featuring topics like “Forbidden Queer Literature,” “Political Action & Advocacy,” and “Inclusive Sex Education.”

GLSEN also hosted a “drag show from some of our local drag queens” and a panel discussion “with former high school students talking about life in the LGBTQ community after high school.”

The Post Millennial reported that there was some local concern about the event, especially since it appeared that many children attending the conference would be bused in directly from school without their parent’s knowledge.

According to a spokesperson for the local school district, Collier County Public Schools (CCPS), the school’s facilities may not be used as “transit points for the pickup and drop-off of students for this event.”

Florida’s Voice reported that the conference’s young attendees were asked to enter their pronouns and provide other personal information prior to registering for the event.

The spokesperson said, “The District was never informed nor contacted about this event. CCPS is not a sponsor of the event, which is being held at a private facility. CCPS also neither authorized nor approved the transportation of CCPS students to and from district school sites by the event organizers. Any inference to the contrary is fully rejected by CCPS.”

The spokesperson continued, “To this end, CCPS has spoken with the event organizer and explained that the information on the registration form, and any associated flyer must be immediately corrected to reflect that CCPS is not a co-sponsor nor will it allow its school sites to be used as transit points for the pickup and drop-off of students for this event.”

Exxon Mobil will not allow LGBT or BLM flags to fly outside its office buildings



Exxon Mobil will no longer allow its offices to fly flags expressing adherence to or membership of “outside organizations” on company flagpoles, the New York Times reported.

The new policy, which prevents employees from hanging LGBT+ pride and BLM flags on the flagpoles on company premises, is angering some of Exxon Mobil’s employees who in the past have flown gay pride flags outside of Exxon Mobil offices.

Exxon Mobil will only be allowing governmental, company, and employee resource group (ERG) flags to fly outside of its facilities. The Times said that ERGs are “employee-led affinity organizations that are generally blessed by employers.”

ERG flags that celebrate certain group identities may still be flown on company premises during months that coincide with those group identities.

Tracey Gunnlaugsson, vice president of human resources at Exxon Mobil, said, “It’s a longstanding practice at our facilities around the world that E.R.G. flags can be flown during signature months. The flags are directly related to our business and company support of our E.R.G.s.”

For instance, the company’s ERG logo for LGBT+ employees features bubbles filled with several colors around the word “PRIDE.” This logo has been flown at Exxon Mobil offices and is used on T-shirts that employees wear during gay pride parades.

J. Chris Martin, a former employee of Exxon Mobil, who previously had led the LGBT+ ERG group said that a different flag that featured the Exxon Mobil on a rainbow background “was flown at many company locations last year without question” and that he had been told that his ability to display this flag had been revoked “without explanation.”

Martin said, “I’m also told that the employee resource groups were consulted only in a perfunctory way regarding this matter, based on momentary discomfort with displaying a symbol of open-mindedness and support for long suppressed voices.”

He added, "While they may say nobody has lost anything, the symbolism is unmistakable.”

The Human Rights Campaign, a leftist organization that advocates for the LGBT+ agenda under the guise of civil rights activism, lambasted Exxon Mobil’s policy. The group said, “There’s no such thing as ‘neutrality’ when it comes to our rights. Our flag isn’t just a visual representation of our identities. It is also a staple of allyship.”

We support the LGBTQ+ employees at Exxon and hope Exxon\u2019s leaders understand there\u2019s no such thing as \u201cneutrality\u201d when it comes to our rights. Our flag isn't just a visual representation of our identities. It is also a staple of allyship.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-22/exxon-triggers-employee-backlash-with-rainbow-pride-flag-ban\u00a0\u2026

The Human Rights Campaign has also aggressively come out against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education legislation that was recently signed into law by the state’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis.

In early March, the Human Rights Campaign said that it would refuse to accept donations from the Walt Disney Company until it took “meaningful action” against the then Parental Rights in Education Bill.

New Jersey public schools may soon be encouraging puberty blockers and masturbation for children as young as 10



Public school students in New Jersey, as young as 10 years old, could soon be taught about puberty blockers and masturbation in sex ed.

According to sample lesson plans currently being reviewed by state school districts, these young students could be told by educators that puberty blockers are an acceptable way to “manage” puberty and that masturbating “a few times a day” is a healthy way to relieve stress, Fox News reported.

Pending the outcome of the curriculum's review, New Jersey’s public school students could soon receive lessons related to gender identity and sexual activity as part of the state’s broader emphasis on sex education curriculum.

In June 2020, New Jersey’s Board of Education approved student learning standards concerning “Comprehensive Health and Physical Education” with an 8-4 vote. The curriculum is currently under review and is scheduled to go into effect by September of 2022.

Multiple lesson plans were sent to parents, who then shared them with elected members of the New Jersey legislature.

Republican state Sen. Holly Schepisi was one such member. She subsequently shared the documents with a larger audience via Dropbox and said they are “completely overboard with cringy detail for young kids.”

One of the proposed lesson plans for fifth graders, titled “It’s All about the Hormones,” requires students to watch an animated short by the organization AMAZE called “Puberty and Transgender Youth.”

Puberty and Transgender Youth youtu.be

The video says, “Whether you identify as male, female, gender queer or something else, you’re perfectly normal, and there are lots of ways to manage puberty so that it can be a fun, exciting time rather than a scary or stressful one.”

Another video in the sample lesson plan for fifth graders features an AMAZE video titled “Masturbation: Totally Normal.” The video tells children that masturbating up to “a few times a day” is a “physically safe way to express sexual feelings.”

The animated video shows a male child pleasuring himself under a blanket.

AMAZE’s website says the organization “envisions a world that recognizes child and adolescent sexual development as natural and healthy, a world I which young people everywhere are supported and affirmed and the adults in their lives communicate openly and honestly with them about puberty, reproduction, relationships, sex, and sexuality.”

It continues, “In such a world, young people across the globe would have access to the information and support they need to develop into sexually healthy adults.”

The website also features links to articles titled “The Case for Starting Sex Education in Kindergarten” and “When Did Porn Become Sex Ed?” in its FAQ section.

The new education standards approved by the state’s board of education also require children to learn about abortion.

According to these standards, by eighth grade, children should learn about “pregnancy testing, the signs of pregnancy, and pregnancy options, including parenting, abortion, and adoption.”

Georgia advances legislation that outlines a 'Parents Bill of Rights' in education



In Georgia, lawmakers advanced legislation that, if signed into law by Republican Governor Brian Kemp, will give parents more direct input over what their children are being taught in the state’s public schools.

Just the News reported that on Friday, the Georgia state senate voted 31-22 in favor of House Bill 1178. The bill outlined a “Parents’ Bill of Rights” that proponents of the legislation say allows parents adequate recourse if they are opposed to the curriculum being taught in their local public schools.

The bill passed the Georgia house of representatives on March 4 with a vote of 98-68.

The reader summary provided for the bill by the Georgia legislature said that bill will provide a “review of removal of students in elementary and secondary education, so as to provide for the protection of the fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their minor children from undue infringement by a state or local government entity, local board of education, or any officer, employee, or agent thereof.”

Frontline Policy Action, a group that according to its website, advocates for “God-honoring legislation that protects family values and advances freedom for Georgians,” took to Facebook to declare its support for the bill.

The group said, “Once signed into law by the governor, this bill will codify parental rights as fundamental in Georgia law and strengthen parents’ control over their children’s education.”

It is expected that Kemp will sign the bill, now passed by both chambers of the Georgia legislature, into law.

“Parents have a right to be actively involved in their child’s learning experience,” Kemp said. “This bill will ensure transparency in education by promoting a partnership between parents [and] educators.”

This legislation has worked its way through the Georgia legislature in the midst of similar legislation in its neighboring state of Florida making national headlines.

Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed the “Parental Rights in Education” bill into law much to the chagrin of liberal legacy media, leftwing institutions, and transnational corporations.

These groups inaccurately characterized the legislation as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill despite the proposed law barring schools from teaching about “sexual orientation or gender identity” to students in kindergarten through third grade or “in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards” and not the utterance of the word “gay.”

In response to DeSantis signing the “Parental Rights in Education” bill into law, the Walt Disney Company — one of Florida’s largest employers —announced that it would work to get the law repealed or overturned by the court system.

Similarly, in 2019 after Kemp signed a bill into law that banned abortions after the detection of a fetal heart beat in Georgia, Hollywood studious and celebrities vowed to boycott the state.
