Clown Show: Drag queen crusaders use cynical ploy to convince town to become sanctuary city for transgender people​

A seven-year-old boy was part of a group of activists who dressed in drag to lobby a Massachusetts city to become a sanctuary city' for transgender people. The Worcester City Council on Tuesday voted to become a safe heaven for trans people as well as those who are 'gender diverse.' The motion, which passed 9-2, was filed by resident Allie Cislo on behalf of the 'Queer residents of Worcester,' as reported by WCVB.

Dozens of people who appeared to be in drag passionately told the council they were concerned about their safety under the Trump administration. They were joined by a young boy who demanded the city pledge to not recognize any anti-trans federal policies and ensure the LGBTQ+ community has access to healthcare, housing, education, and employment without fearing discrimination.

'People here are trying to control the rights of others and that's not right. We should make Worcester a sanctuary city for trans people. Everybody deserves to feel safe and everybody needs to feel safe. 'I've lived here for four years ... my birthday is this Saturday and all I want is peace and for you to vote yes.

'Please don't let me down for my birthday. There are a lot of queer people that I love. The kids are watching and we're ready to vote you out,' the boy added.

The petition said 'residents' allies, request adoption of the attached resolution declaring the City of Worcester a sanctuary city for transgender and gender diverse people.'

'I need this city to protect me because the federal government won't. If you think you're afraid of Trump, you should see how afraid of Trump I am,' a woman with a blue wig and exaggerated drawn-on eyebrows told the council. 'If you say you're afraid of Trump, and that's why you don't want the city to be a safe space for trans people, you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space.'

'I'm shaking right now,' yelled another speaker. 'I don't want to be here right now!'

When was the last time you hear of a trans person who was physically harmed because of their appearance? I'd also like to point out that this is 2025 not 1965 and we are not turning fire hoses and dogs against black people in the streets. Where is all this violence coming from that there is such a need for sanctuary?

Frankly the violent and inflammatory rhetoric is not coming from the right.
 
In an apparent response to Trump, albeit in a difficult to divine 'exactly why' way the local school board has decided to rename three elementary schools to something more friendly to 21st century sensibilities.

Here's the test to see if they should be allowed to do that or not:

Have the pupils write out the name of the school as it is and then as they would like it to be. God forbid they should be asked to produce a paragraph or two on the names involved, they'd probably have to call in grief counselors for that.

If they can't do that - and I suspect there are too many of those - then maybe their priority shouldn't be the name on the outside of the building is.
 

DEI activist shares air traffic controller exam ANSWERS with minority candidates in leaked audio​

A top 'DEI' activist is caught on voicemail allegedly offering minority air traffic controller candidates the chance to cheat in a make-or-break entry exam.

Shelton Snow, a powerful figure in the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE), can be heard promising advance access to test answers in a shocking audio clip obtained by DailyMail.com.

'There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email,' says Snow, an air traffic operations supervisor based out of New York.

'I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question.'

The inside info was made available in 2014 to African Americans, females, and other minority candidates – but whites were left out of the loop to 'minimize competition'.

Exactly how many applicants were able to capitalize on Snow's brazen offer to secure coveted controller jobs responsible for the safety of millions of fliers remains a mystery.

But one former NBCFAE member, Matthew Douglas, told DailyMail.com: 'I know several people who cheated and I know several people who are controlling planes as we speak.'

The voicemail comes to light as President Donald Trump vows to purge DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion – from US aviation, among other federal agencies, in the wake of the deadly midair collision at Reagan National airport in January that claimed 67 lives.

I'm 23 and I love my country - here's why so many my age REFUSE to fight for a Britain betrayed by elites like Keir Starmer​

Would you join the British army to fight for King and country? How would you feel if your children were conscripted?

With America now reluctant to guarantee the defence of Europe, such questions have returned with a vengeance.

And, not so long ago, I would have been among the willing volunteers. I'm 23, count myself a patriot and once thought I would have fought and died for this country. Yet I would rather be a conscientious objector than take up arms for Keir Starmer's Britain.

I know I'm not alone in this and that my concerns – revulsion, even – are widely shared by other young Brits in their 20s.

A recent survey of Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2012) suggested that only 11 per cent of them would fight for Britain, while an alarming 41 per cent said there were no circumstances at all in which they would take up arms for their country.

I can't say I am surprised. What precisely are we supposed to be defending?

The Britain that inspired the generations that made such sacrifices during two world wars has been swept away in a tide of mass migration, self-hatred and woke 'progressive' propaganda.

Our political class, university leaders, quangocrats, broadcasters and others - in a word, the elite – have spent decades attacking our collective identity: the very sense of solidarity vital for our own defence.

Now we see the results.

Too many of my friends have been persuaded there is something almost shameful about being British. Indeed, that same recent survey, carried out by YouGov and Public First, revealed that 48 per cent of 18 to 27-year-olds believed Britain is a 'racist country' – far higher than the proportion that said they didn't.

And when it comes to their financial prospects, they have few reasons for optimism. The economy has little to offer millions of young working-age Britons, who look around and see a nation of graffiti-fouled high streets and boarded-up shops.

For my generation, bettering themselves through hard work is little more than a pipe-dream – or would be, if the local tobacconist had not been turned into a tattoo parlour or a 'Turkish' barbershop, which are often fronts for money-laundering.

Living standards have actually declined since 2008, the year of the Great Financial Crash. Then, the average annual wage in Britain was around £25,000, equivalent to £40,000 today. Yet today, we earn an average of only £37,000 – meaning that earnings haven't even kept pace with inflation.

In the US, by contrast, wages have grown healthily since 2008, bringing the average US pay packet to around $66,000 a year (more than £51,000).

Most twentysomethings stand little chance of getting on the housing ladder, all too often condemned to a life of bedsits and flat-shares at ruinous expense – if they leave home at all.

The proportion of 25 to 34-year-olds still living with their parents has risen by more than a third in less than two decades.

Then there is the question of not just what we are defending, but who.

Thanks to unchecked mass migration – appallingly accelerated under the last Tory government – Britain has undergone a bewildering and probably permanent change.

It is hard to overstate the scale. The population of England, for example, is expected to rise to 73 million by mid-2032, up from 68 million in mid-2022.

This ballooning population is entirely driven by new arrivals and their families. New census data last week revealed that 10 per cent of the people living in this country were born overseas and that close to a million are unable to speak English competently or – in many cases – at all.

It's no wonder that a pervasive sense of dislocation and disruption is sweeping the country.

Yet the most destructive force of all has been inflicted from within: by which I mean the self-hating ideology that justifies – even celebrates – these changes.

Whether at school, in theatres or through the propaganda pumped out by leading museums, our cultural leaders invariably denigrate our shared past, preferring to promote 'inclusion' and other abstract banalities.

What sort of a country, for example, portrays itself as a historic enslaver, ignoring the fact that Britain led the way in abolishing that evil trade around the world?

Starmer's Labour is making matters worse still. We have an attorney general who has made a career out of appeasing Britain's enemies and a prime minister who believes that 'Human Rights' and international law trump any domestic priorities.

Any dissent is ruthlessly suppressed. The Mail on Sunday recently exposed how two police officers were dispatched to a grandmother in Stockport for doing no more than expressing mild criticism of Labour politicians on Facebook.

A dog owner in Herefordshire was questioned by the police just a few days later, grilled by uniformed officers for more than an hour after merely rowing with a neighbour.

Britain seems to have abandoned the shared understandings, traditions and ways of life that served us well for centuries.

Instead, we are told that our multicultural identity lies in a set of 'British values' - airy principles that are, in reality, little more than platitudes.

They may be fine ideals, but which of us would honestly lay down their life, for example, for 'diversity' or 'tolerance'?

No one fought in the horrors of Passchendaele or the Somme for that.

I feel all this disappointment personally. It had been my long-held ambition to become an infantry officer in the British Army, and in 2023 I applied to join.

A soldier's way of life appeals to me: I like the physical demands, the strategising and the discipline.

Yet after disclosing that I occasionally experience mild migraines (information that doesn't even appear on my medical record and which would not have affected my duties), I was denied the opportunity to serve. Britain's armed forces are in the grip, remember, of a recruitment emergency.

This petty episode tells you something about the red tape plaguing our military, which also stands accused of prioritising diversity over talent.

Last year, the head of the RAF was forced to admit that attempts to attract women and people from ethnic minority backgrounds had discriminated against white men.

Let me be clear: I would fight if Britain were invaded. I would not hesitate to pick up a rifle and head to the frontline.

Yet fighting in, say, Ukraine, would be a very different matter. If there is a ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv, this country might well be called on to station peacekeepers on the long frontline – an 'Army of the Dnieper' as it has been called after the river that represents an informal border between the two sides along much of its length.

Describing Russian aggression as an 'existential threat' to Europe, Keir Starmer has insisted the UK must be 'ready and willing' to put troops on the frontline.

Perhaps. But I won't be among them.

Britain – and Europe more widely – once claimed to stand for values such as liberal democracy, liberty, tolerance, the rule of law and equal rights. How hollow those claims sound today.

For young people, Britain has become a place where taxes are astronomical, industry lies in crisis, the culture is subverted and our people are demoralised and lost.

This is a catastrophic betrayal of the country that I love. And if young men and women like me are no longer prepared to fight for it, who will?

If Britain were taken over by a hostile power, how would it get worse than it currently is (and it is on track to become even worse)? How would the state become more hostile to the populace? And if we cannot get a firm answer to these questions, why would anyone want to fight for it?

Just watched this video. We constantly discuss narrative control, so here one that is at least few centuries old.

This story is the biggest testament to narative control that we go through every day. Countless films and dramas were made about Henry and his wifes, and not a single time it was told to usthat Henrywas living corpse that smelled so badly that one can tell of his presence x3 rooms away. And then women were blamed for not wanting to live with him.

Uhhhh....OK... you're going to boycott Independence Day - the original No Kings Day because Donald Trump..........
Oh sure, that makes perfect sense.

New Paltz is a very left leaning college town, Brewster has turned into an illegal sanctuary was always a dump no matter what flavor of people lived there and Mamaroneck is a wealthy Westchester burb right on the water - lots of serious $$$ down there. None of those surprise me.

I bet our little podunk Town will have the same event at the same Korean War memorial park a mile away that they always do. I'm still going to put the flag out. I have a 6x9 American flag sticker on the back of my pickup truck, a habit from every truck I've ever owned going back decades. No other stickers or anything, just that. Yesterday in traffic I glanced at my side mirror and see an individual flipping me the bird and screaming something all angry looking, I assume over that as the traffic was very mild and I hadn't changed lanes or anything. This is insane, would he have done it if I had a ******g Palestinian flag ? My guess in not. For a bit I thought he was going to follow me into a parking lot and fortunately did not. A wise decision but it would not have surprised me.

Political road rage over an American flag- Jesus H Christ .......

Go woke, go broke! Jaguar sales have crashed 97.5% since rebrand that stunned fans​

Jaguar's sales have plummeted after the legendary British car marque's 'woke' rebrand left fans outraged.

Sales of the luxury motoring manufacturer appear to be in freefall following its controversial move to scrap its iconic 'growler' big cat logo in November.

The firm's rebrand saw it replace the well-known badge in favour of a geometric 'J' design - which lovers of the brand raged looked like the logo on a handbag clasp.

Meanwhile, a glossy ad campaign accompanying the design overhaul, featuring androgynous-looking men and women in exuberant clothes, also came under fire.

And as the firestorm surrounding the famed car maker's change continues to rage, sales at Jaguar Europe have plunged a staggering 97.5 per cent.

Jaguar has insisted the rebrand has 'nothing to do' with its falling sales.

According to figures from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (AECA), the company registered just 49 new vehicles in April 2025 compared to 1,961 units sold in the same month last year.

Year-to-date sales from January to April also slumped, dropping 75.1 per cent with just 2,665 motors sold.

Globally, Jaguar sold just 26,862 vehicles for the 2024/25 financial year - an 85 per cent drop compared to 2018.

The sales dip followed Jaguar's repositioning away from its performance and heritage roots towards a lifestyle-focused, fashion-forward brand.

Jag's big rebrand had been in development for three years as the company prepares to become an all-electric car manufacturer ahead of the UK's 2030 target to stop selling new purely fossil fuel-powered cars.

Launched under the slogan 'copy nothing' - an adage from company founder Sir William Lyons - the new ad featured diverse models in technicolour outfits walking through an alien landscape.

Around 800 people are believed to have worked on the rebrand, which peaked with the unveiling of a 'design vision concept' at Miami Art Week in December.

However, the sales slump may not be as catastrophic as it first appears. As part of Jaguar's refresh, the car firm intentionally stopped producing cars at the end of 2024, a move which stretched into 2025.

The manufacturer - now owned by an Indian firm - is currently seeking to bring in a new range of entirely electric vehicles, which were due for release this year.

Defending the news, Jaguar said it was 'pointless' to compare figures for 2024 and 2025 as it was seeking to move to its all-electric model and insisted the company's rebranding was 'not related to a sales decline'.

When you read the truly evil comment this sicko liberal wrote about the death of little girls in Texas floods, you'll despair at the new rot infecting America​

Just when you think that ultra-woke progressives can't go any lower, we have new horrors: Celebrating abortion and cheering the deaths of little girls at summer camp, swept away by floodwaters on the Fourth of July. And here's the thing — so many of them know how ugly their beliefs are. They just don't care.

'I know I'm going to get cancelled for this,' began one Sade Perkins, a black Houston mayoral appointee and Princeton fellow who felt sufficiently moved to post a TikTok video about these dead and missing little girls. Yet she went on anyway. 'Camp Mystic is a white-only girls' Christian camp,' Perkins said. It is not.

'They don't even have a token Asian,' Perkins continued. 'They don't have a token black person… If you ain't white, you ain't right, you ain't getting' in, you ain't goin'. Period.'

At least 27 children and camp counselors have died. Five children and one counselor remain missing as of writing. The youngest known victim was 8 years old. Sisters Blair and Brooke Harber, ages 13 and 11, were found 15 miles from the camp, dead, their hands clasped together. If you ain't white, you ain't right. The political left in this country is beyond broken. It's shattered beyond repair. So-called progressives have lost all morality and decency.

Little kids swept out of their beds at 3 in the morning, jolted out of sleep into onrushing waters so strong that enormous trees were ripped out by their roots. Stuffed animals and Bibles are all that remain in their modest cabins. Perkins posted her unforgivable video on Saturday. Yet it took Houston Mayor John Whitmire 48 hours to fire her — a firing that should have been immediate.

As reported by Houston's News 19, Perkins doubled down in the comments section below her video. A sampling: Unnamed user: 'Halt sis. this isn't the time.' Perkins: 'It's literally always the time [because] white supremacy doesn't stop for tragedy.' Unnamed user: 'THESE ARE CHILDREN.' Perkins: 'So ARE THE KIDS IN ICE!' Unnamed user: 'Girl you brought this upon yourself. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from the consequences.' Perkins: 'Consequences for what? Maybe it was gods will to wash them lil c***s away.'

Sick doesn't begin to describe Perkins. But she is not alone — far from it. This is the inevitable outgrowth of an American liberalism so perverse, so lost and Mephistophelian, that it promotes racism against whites, demonizes Trump voters as deplorables and counts dead children as proof of its righteousness.

Wokeness has become, irretrievably, a death cult.

Last year, right before the election, a FEMA employee was fired for telling responders not to approach hurricane-ravaged homes with MAGA signs out front. Woke is a virus and, like all unchecked viruses, it spreads and mutates until lethal. Cheering dead children? Who on the left will decry this? Anyone? Doubt it. I truly, greatly doubt it. So even a moral reprobate like Perkins gets a reprieve while her mayor seemingly gamed out the potential blowback for firing her — a government employee, salaried by taxpayers.

Great job, Mayor Whitmire. What a profile in courage. Will Princeton University now strip Perkins of her fellowship? Or will it take a Congressional hearing, held by the likes of Rep. Elise Stefanik, to force their hand?

Then there's Texas pediatrician Dr Christina Propst, who, in the immediate wake of this tragedy, posted this to Facebook: 'May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry… MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.' A female pediatrician. How disgusting can you get?

Some of us do still recognize right from wrong, good from evil. So it's beyond alarming to see this rot, this moral and intellectual sewage against children, promulgated by women.

Last week, two of the left's most vocal, insufferable celebrities cavalierly endorsed abortion — any amount, at any stage of pregnancy — as joyous. As the most pro-choice Americans freely admit: Abortion is a tragedy. Yet here was Cynthia Nixon, posting a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a mock MAGA cap that read: 'Make Abortion Great Again.' Even her followers were offended. 'I'm pro-choice as well but wouldn't ever wear that hat,' one wrote. 'It's not great at all.'

Lily Allen, the former pop star-turned-podcaster, giggled on her show last week as she announced she'd had 'four or five' abortions — so many she's apparently lost track. Her female co-host admitted, also laughing, that she'd had a similar number.

Actress Martha Plimpton, in her Instagram bio: 'I [heart emoji] Abortion.' Lena Dunham, who just told The Hollywood Reporter that her forthcoming Netflix series includes a 'loving' abortion, in 2016: 'I still haven't had an abortion, but I wish I had.' Liberals: This kind of heartless talk does not help your cause. But by all means, continue to embrace death and destruction in the manner of Islamic fundamentalism.

After all, it's your cohort wearing keffiyehs while marching for gay rights and excusing — if not outright cheering for — the death of Jews, the eradication of Israel, and for a religion and worldview that hates women. And all of it, to their hive mind, is justified — because Donald Trump is president. How could they possibly lose 2028?

Cracker Barrel Quietly Made Yet Another Change – This One To Its Iconic Peg Game​

(Excerpt)

This latest change, though, might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Actually this change isn’t entirely new, but it’s seemingly flown under the radar until now. But a few months ago, Cracker Barrel quietly made a change to their iconic peg game that’s found on every table in the restaurant. We’re all probably familiar with the triangular game made of a block of wood and some golf tees. You have to jump over every tee and try to clear the board, leaving only one tee. And the board contains a scoring chart showing your intelligence based on how many tees you manage to leave:

“Leave only one – You’re a genius
Leave two and you’re purty smart
Leave three and you’re just plain dumb
Leave four or mor’n you’re just plain eg-no-ra-moose”

Well, at least that’s what it used to say.

Apparently Cracker Barrel wanted to make a change to the game, and make it less insulting to players who can’t seem to clear the board, because the instructions now read:

“Leave only one – You’re a genius!
Leave two – Rocking the chair but not the game
Leave three or more – No reason to be embarrassed, try again!”

Woman is jailed for 30 months for wearing 'Allah is lesbian' T-shirt after her outfit prompted calls for her to be stoned and raped​

A feminist activist in Morocco has been jailed for 30 months after she posted a photo of herself wearing a T-shirt with the words: 'Allah is a lesbian'. Ibtissame Lachgar was sentenced for 'causing harm to Islam' and has been ordered to pay a fine of approximately £4,027. The activist was arrested last month, with the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Rabat Court of First Instance in Morocco announcing: 'Following a woman’s posting of a photo on her social media account, which depicts her wearing a shirt with phrases offensive to the divine, along with a caption insulting Islam, the public prosecutor ordered an investigation. 'Due to its urgency, the subject has been placed under police custody in accordance with the law.'

In the photo, the outspoken feminist activist can be seen smiling with her hands on her hips as she poses wearing the T-shirt. She wrote on X: 'In Morocco, I walk around with T-shirts bearing messages against religions, Islam, etc. 'You tire us with your sanctimoniousness, your accusations. Yes, Islam, like any religious ideology, is FASCIST. PHALLOCRATIC AND MISOGYNISTIC.' Her post triggered an onset of online abuse, with Lachgar claiming she endured 'cyber bullying, thousands of threats of rape, death, calls for lynching and stoning'. In Morocco, those who 'cause harm' to Islam can face penalties of between six months to two years and fines of up to around £40,000.

If James Earl Ray took the time to pen a touching note to his mother before he shot MLK then he really wouldn't be an assassin would he? He would just be a a poor confused young man and obviously a victim of circumstance.

Hell, Jack Ruby left his little wiener dog in his unlocked car. The man had an emotional support dog so it was OK to shoot someone right ? I mean, LHO had already been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion already and he appointed simply appointed himself to pass sentence. So what's the problem?

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was removed from the Global Sumud Flotilla's Steering Committee last week, and the mission's spokesperson left the Gaza-bound vessels amid a reorientation of communications priorities.

Thunberg, who joined a previous run of the Israeli naval blockade around Gaza in June with the Madleen, appeared on the GSF's website as part of its leadership committee until at least last Sunday.

Il Manifesto, which has a correspondent aboard one of the flotilla vessels, reported on Tuesday that Thunberg was seen dragging her suitcase along a Tunis dock to transfer from the Steering Committee flagship Family to another vessel, the Alma.

"We all have a role: mine will not be on the board, but as an organizer and participant," Thunberg told Il Manifesto.

Il Manifesto detailed that "pressure is causing rifts within the organizing committee," allegedly due to disagreements about external communication that focused too much on the flotilla’s internal affairs and not enough on the situation in Gaza.

A strategic decision to redirect attention​

"The decision to move some media off the vessels is a strategic one -- to redirect more attention to the genocide in Gaza right now," said Omar.
The communications issues come after a series of troubles for the flotilla, including stormy weather, technical issues, and claims about being stalked and attacked by drones -- though Tunisian authorities disputed accounts of the latter problem.

The flotilla had embarked from Barcelona on August 31, but had to return to port and set off again the following day due to weather conditions. The flotilla arrived at Tunisia on September 7, three days behind schedule. The flotilla stalled at the North African country, and according to Il Manifesto, fuel logistics and bureaucratic issues at Bizerte led some frustrated participants to abandon the mission and return to Tunis to secure a plane. The flotilla continued to flounder until Tuesday, when it set course for Italy to join additional ships from southern Europe.

According to the Sumud ship tracker, most of the vessels are between Sicily and Crete, with some stragglers still off the coast of Syracuse.
