Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued a temporary injunction this week, halting the enforcement of a Florida law barring transgender teachers from using pronouns that do not align with their biological sex in schools.
“Once again, the State of Florida has a First Amendment problem,” Judge Walker wrote in his injunction.
“Of late, it has happened so frequently, some might say you can set your clock by it,” he continued. “This time, the State of Florida declares that it has the absolute authority to redefine your identity if you choose to teach in a public school… the question before this Court is whether the First Amendment permits the State to dictate, without limitation, how public-school teachers refer to themselves when communicating to students. The answer is a thunderous ‘no.’”
Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, often characterized as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill by opponents, was challenged in December by two transteachers and one “non-binary” teacher, but only one of them, “Katie” Wood, was awarded a temporary injunction by Judge Walker.

The American Library Association (ALA) list of the ten most challenged books of 2023 reveals the extent to which far-left extremists have promoted LGBTQ literature to children — and the extent to which parents are fighting back against those efforts.
The ALA noted a 65 percent increase in titles subject to removal or restriction efforts — marking the highest recorded number of challenged books in the organization’s history. Seven of the 10 most challenged books deal with LGBTQ topics, with the number one place held by Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer, a graphic chronicling the author’s coming out as ‘nonbinary.’ Other targeted titles include George M. Johnson’s All Boys Aren’t Blue, Juno Dawson’s This Book Is Gay, Mike Curato’s Flamer, and Matthew Nolan’s Let’s Talk About It.
“Pressure groups in 2023 focused on public libraries in addition to targeting school libraries. The number of titles targeted for censorship at public libraries increased by 92% over the previous year, accounting for about 46% of all book challenges in 2023; school libraries saw an 11% increase over 2022 numbers,” the group said in an official press release.
In total, the ALA found 4,240 individual book titles under aim for removal from public libraries and schools, substantially exceeding the earlier peak of 2,571 in 2022.
The increase reflects efforts by parents’ groups and conservative lawmakers to protect children from exposure to sexually explicit and other inappropriate LGBTQ-themed material. Subjecting children to such material has real-world consequences and can cause lasting harm to children. A recent report revealed that the number of Americans identifying as LGBTQ+ doubled over 12 years. Meanwhile, a recent landmark study showed that most gender-confused kids grow out of it.

Demonstrators in the Muslim stronghold of Dearborn, Michigan, chanted anti-America and anti-Israel slogans during a speech by Islamist activist Tarek Bazzi at a Quds Day rally. Quds Day, which takes its name from the Arabic name for Jerusalem, was instituted by Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran in 1979 and is held on the last day of Ramadan each year.
Tensions were high during the Quds Day rally in Dearborn, with Bazzi, tied to the Hadi Institute, declaring it is “not just Genocide Joe that has to go” — a reference to Joe Biden, accused of facilitating Israel’s war in Gaza — but “the entire system.”
“Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it, such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth,” he added.
At another point in his speech, he said, “Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America.”
“Death to America!” the crowd chanted.
Bazzi was still more explicit in his attacks, saying: “[W]hen these fools ask us if Israel has the right to exist, the chant ‘Death to Israel!’ has become the most logical chant shouted across the world today!”
This also prompted chants of “Death to Israel!”
Bazzi also had a small child take to the microphone to shout “Free, Free Palestine” and “From the River to the Sea,” widely recognized as a call for the destruction of Israel across its entire geographical extent, from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has doubled down on its persecution of MAGA-supporting Americans, recently prosecuting 71-year-old great-grandmother Rebecca Lavrenz for praying inside the U.S. Capitol. The Biden White House continues its outreach to Arab and Muslim Americans such as those depicted in the video below, many of whom have received direct outreach from the White House.

Outdoor recreation company The North Face is among several organizations supporting an LGBTQ camp called Camp Brave Trails — with locations in California and New York — the produces drag shows featuring children as young as twelve.
Camp Brave Trails appears to be primed to attract child sexual predators. Besides encouraging children to perform in sexualized activities like drag shows, it also exercises a “genderless” approach to housing and restrooms. In addition to putting children at obvious risk of exploitation and abuse, Camp Brave Trails provides its campers with an extremist left-wing “education” that includes “LGBTQ+ history” and “anti-racism.”
Aside from The North Face, Camp Brave Trails also receives financial backing from shoe companies Brooks, Chaco, and Toms.
This is not the first time The North Face has been in the news for promoting extreme LGBTQ and gender identity ideology to children. Last year, the company released an ad to promote children’s clothing that featured a homosexual drag queen yelling, “come out!”

Amid the release of his new album ‘Might Delete Later,’ hip-hop artist J. Cole has been hit with accusations of inserting “transphobic” content in his new song “Pi,” where he raps lines that some listeners interpret as derogatory towards so-called transgender individuals.
The incident is part of a long-running “beef” between Cole and rapper Kendrick Lamar, which also involves Canadian R&B artist Drake.
The lyrics state:
Is you a demon or is that demeanor for the ‘Gram?, tell us;
They plead the fifth, I’m seeing hints of a trans fella;
In cancel culture’s vicinity, he’s no killer, trust me
Beneath his chosen identity, there is still a p***y, period.
J. Cole’s track “7 Minute Drill” has already made waves for its direct criticisms of Lamar’s latest album. This controversy adds to previous instances where the rapper’s work has been debated for its stance on LGBTQIA+ issues. Notably, in 2013, J. Cole’s song “Villuminati” provoked controversy for its handling of homosexuality.

Actor and wrestling star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has expressed regret over his endorsement of Joe Biden in 2020, and has vowed not to repeat the error. His comments came in an exclusive interview with Fox News aired Friday morning. Johnson also used the opportunity to blast “woke culture” and “cancel culture.”
“Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer is no,” Johnson said.
“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” he explained, saying he felt it was his duty to use his influence and his position to share his preferred candidate with the public.
“Am I going to do that again this year? That answer’s no,” he confirmed.

“What I realize, what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts back then and now, which is division. That got me. The takeaway after that, months and months, I realized, that caused division in our country. I realize now going into this election, I will not do that, my goal is to bring this country together.
“[With] this level of influence, I’m going to keep my politics to myself; I think it’s between me and the ballot box,” he said, adding he would support whoever the American people choose.
Johnson also said he was not planning to enter the political arena himself “as of now.”

Scotland’s International Development Alliance (SIDA), funded by the Scottish government, has unveiled an ‘inclusive language guide’ suggesting the terms ‘mother’ and ‘father’ foster oppression.
The organization views the traditional family terminology as potentially “reinforcing existing power structures,” and argues for a change to ‘parent’ and ‘guardian.’
SIDA also recommends eschewing terms like ‘girls’ and ‘guys’ in favor of ‘colleagues’ or ‘everyone’ and replacing ‘chairman,’ ‘spokeswoman,’ and ‘manpower’ with genderless alternatives.
“With this language guide we hope to ensure our language is contributing to — not getting in the way of — the fundamental changes we are looking to make in the world: equality, inclusion, fairness, decolonisation [sic], and global justice,” the document proclaims.
SIDA’s guide also contends terms like ‘global warming’ and ‘climate change’ are insufficiently urgent, proposing ‘climate crisis’ and ‘climate emergency’ as replacements, and denounces ‘third world’ and ‘the West’ as “problematic phrases.”
A spokesman for the Free Speech Union argued, “the real reason these red-pencil wielding zealots want to ban words like mother and father is to enforce radicalprogressive dogma. “

A recently published paper casts doubt on the legitimacy of multiple studies from global consulting firm McKinsey & Company that suggested a positive correlation between corporate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and companies’ financial performance. The authors of the Econ Journal Watch study describe McKinsey’s conclusions as ‘junk research.’
The Econ Journal Watch research evaluated several studies conducted by McKinsey, concluding that neither conceptually nor empirically could it be established that large public firms in the U.S. could expect higher financial returns through increasing racial or ethnic diversity within their executive team.
“Our results indicated that despite the imprimatur often given to McKinsey’s 2015, 2018, 2020, and 2023 studies, McKinsey’s studies neither conceptually (in terms of the correct definition of causality) nor empirically (in terms of their set of large US public firms) support the argument that large US public firms can expect on average to deliver improved financial performance if they increase the racial/ethnic diversity of their executives.”
McKinsey’s studies have been referenced by institutions such as the U.S. Navy, being incorporated into the Navy’s 2021 ‘Task Force One’ report, advocating for a diversification of their forces.
Elaine Donnelly, president of The Center for Military Readiness, recently said that the Pentagon’s prioritization of DEI programs has led to an ongoing recruitment crisis. “Race-conscious ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ (DEI) policies are making personnel shortages worse,” Donnelly said. “Minority recruitment has remained steady or increased, which is fine, but a steep decline in white recruits almost entirely accounts for the ongoing recruiting crisis.”
The research from Econ Journal Watch is likely to add to growing concerns over the consequences of DEI initiatives. Last month, it was reported that DEI initiatives are costing UK taxpayers at least half a billion pounds a year, or roughly $632.5 million.

Music mogul and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently embroiled in multiple civil lawsuits alleging sex trafficking, sexual abuse, and rape. Federal agents with U.S. Homeland Security conducted raids on the rapper’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami on March 25 as part of the investigation. Combs, 54, has refuted all allegations, with his legal team describing the lawsuits as opportunistic attempts for monetary gain.
Combs faces accusations involving at least five women and one man.
CASANDRA ‘CASSIE’ VENTURA.
Last year, singer Casandra Ventura filed a lawsuit alleging that she was beaten, raped, and sex-trafficked by Combs on multiple occasions spanning a decade. She alleged the abuse began soon after they met. Combs signed Ventura to his label in 2005. She was 19, and he was 37. Ventura claimed that when she tried to end their relationship in 2018, Combs forced his way into her home and raped her.
RODNEY ‘LIL ROD’ JONES.
In February, music producer Rodney Jones filed a lawsuit against Combs, alleging he was “subjected to unwanted advances by associates of Diddy at his direction.” Jones worked for Combs from September 2022 to November 2023. He claims that during that time, Combs sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him. Jones’s suit also alleges that Combs hosted “sex-trafficking parties” featuring underage girls and illegaldrugs.
JOIE DICKERSON-NEAL.
Dickerson-Neal filed a lawsuit in November 2023 alleging that Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her and secretly recorded the assault. The alleged assault occurred in 1991 when Dickerson-Neal was a college student. After “reluctantly” agreeing to go out to dinner with Combs on January 3, 1991, Dickerson-Neal alleges she was drugged, “resulting in her being in a physical state where she could not independently stand or walk.”
JANE DOE 1.
Also, in November 2023, an anonymous plaintiff filed a lawsuit against Combs, accusing him and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall of raping her and her friend in 1990 or 1991. The plaintiff alleges that after being invited by the two men to an afterparty, she “was offered more drinks and was coerced into having sex with Combs.” She then discovered that her friend was “forced to have sex with Combs and Hall in another room,” according to the suit. Days later, the lawsuit alleges, Combs visited the plaintiff and her friend at their residence, where he became angry “and began assaulting and choking Jane Doe to the point that she passed out.”
JANE DOE 2.
In December of 2023, another anonymous plaintiff accused Combs of drugging and gang-raping her in 2003 when she was just 17 years old. The plaintiff alleges she was plied with drugs and alcohol at his New York studio before Combs and two of his associates raped her. Her suit accuses Combs of engaging in a “sex trafficking scheme” in which she was flown to New York on a private jet from her home in Michigan.
THE MEIDAS TOUCH?
Kenny Meiselas, longtime attorney for Combs, is the father of Ben, Brett, and Jordan Meiselas, the brothers who founded MeidasTouch Network, a White-House linked media organization that created the Trump ‘bloodbath‘ hoax. Ben Meiselas got his start in politics by interning for Combs, who was involved in pro-Democrat get-out-the-vote efforts at the time. The extent to which the Meiselas patriarch — or his son Ben — knew of Combs’s alleged sex trafficking schemes and rapes is unknown.
Combs is at least the third individual connected with MeidasTouch Network to be associated with alleged sexual crimes. The media organization was funded by the Lincoln Project, which was co-founded by accused sexual predator John Weaver. MeidasTouch Network also receives funding from Reid Hoffman, the E. Jean Carroll megadonor, a personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and a guest at Epstein’s notorious private island.

A new version of the strategy game Catan, in which players contend with clean energy, fossil fuels, overpopulation, and pollution, is set to be released. Catan: New Energies replaces the game’s classic themes of settlement and conquest with a left-wing ‘green‘ political message. Original game creator Klaus Teuber and his son, Benjamin Teuber, developed the new version.
This new version of the game sees players choose between cheaper fossil fuels or renewables, wrestle with limited resources as pollution increases, deal with the alleged effects of climate change, and use “green tokens” to counter pollution. If pollution hits a certain level, the entire game ends.
“You must decide: Invest in clean energy resources or opt for cheaper fossil fuels, potentially causing disastrous effects for the island?” states its description in the Catan shop.
Benjamin Teuber revealed the new version is less about having fun and more about spreading a political message. “Very often at the end of the game, you see everybody completely freaking out,’” he noted. “But the pollution is already here, like what did you expect? And then maybe people start working together,” he continued. Teuber said the game makes people think “If we do all work together and all did our share, then it can work, and all it cost is that we grow a little bit slower.”
The types of policies that appear to be implicitly encouraged by Catan: New Energies are currently wreaking havoc in Europe. Recent reports suggest that green policies in the UK could spark nationwide food shortages. The EU recently backpedaled on much of its green agenda following mass protests by farmers.
