Statue of Obese ‘Woman of Color’ to Be Installed in London’s Trafalgar Square.

A statue of an obese “metropolitan woman of color” will be installed in London’s iconic Trafalgar Square, alongside a monument to Admiral Lord Nelson, the Hero of Trafalgar, and statues of King George IV and war heroes General Sir Charles James Napier and Major-General Sir Henry Havelock.

Titled ‘Lady in Blue,’ the sculpture by Harlem-born Tschabalala Self will be placed on the so-called “fourth plinth,” an empty pedestal originally intended to hold an equestrian statue of King William IV, in 2026. It will feature a black female with prominent buttocks wearing platform shoes and a revealing blue dress.

Self says the sculpture “pays homage to a young, metropolitan woman of color who could be just one of many Londoners today.”

It was authorized by the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group, which operates under Mayor Sadiq Khan’s so-called Culture Team.

It will not be permanent, with the city authorities rotating a series of often woke installations on the fourth plinth. ‘Towards an Uncertain Future,’ a shapeless green mass by Romanian sculptor Andra Ursuța, is set to replace it in 2028.

Adobe AI Erases White People, Including America’s Founders.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) image generator Adobe Firefly is producing the same perverse results as Gemini, the suspended Google image generator that regularly refused to depict white people and inserted minorities into historically inappropriate contexts.

An investigation by Semafor found Adobe Firefly produced some of the same inaccurate results as Gemini, rendering Vikings and even “German soldiers in 1945” as black, for example.

The National Pulse found similar issues, with a prompt for “America’s Founding Fathers” resulting in an image of a black woman and a black man, and a prompt for “European People in the Middle Ages” resulting in an image of eight black people in medieval dress. A prompt for “German soldiers in 1945” generated an image as equally historically dubious as the one found by Semafor.

While Semafor suggested that such results result from “technical shortcomings,” the images produced by the now-shuttered Gemini program resulted from deliberate programming.

Requests to create images of white families would be refused, while images to create images of black families were accepted. Similarly, only images of historically white groups, such as Vikings and medieval kings, were rendered as ethnically diverse. Historically black groups, such as Zulu warriors, were rendered accurately.

In Adobe’s case, the company defended Firefly as a tool that “isn’t meant for generating photorealistic depictions of real or historical events,” standing by their “commitment to responsible innovation” and decision to “[train] our AI models on diverse datasets to ensure we’re producing commercially safe results that don’t perpetuate harmful stereotypes.”

LGBTQ+ Adults Double Over 12 Years.

The American adult population identifying as LGBTQ+ has more than doubled in the past decade, according to a recent Gallup poll, with more than 20 percent of Generation Z adults — aged 18 to 23 during the survey — identifying as LGBTQ+.

The results show an increase from 3.5 percent in 2012 to 7.6 percent in 2023. Additionally, it was noted that each new generation of adults is twice as likely to identify as LGBTQ+ when compared to the previous generation.

“Increases in LGBTQ+ identification in recent years have occurred as members of Generation Z and the millennial generation have entered adulthood,” the study noted. “Adults in these younger generations are far more likely than those in older generations to identify as LGBTQ+.”

Gallup’s 2023 data, collected through telephone surveys involving over 12,000 American adults, showed that 85.6 percent of respondents identified as straight, while 7.6 percent aligned themselves with the LGBTQ+ community. Just under seven percent of those surveyed chose not to respond.

In the LGBTQ+ community, bisexual adults constituted the largest segment, accounting for 4.4 percent of U.S. adults. Furthermore, the poll found that women were twice as likely as men to identify as LGBTQ+. However, these statistics do not account for identification within ‘nonbinary’ individuals.

Figures from combined data over the past two years suggest that approximately 80% of nonbinary adults identify as LGBTQ+, evenly split between identifying as bisexual or transgender at one-third each. However, the data points out that transgender individuals make up less than 1 percent of the total American adult population, equating to one in eight LGBTQ+ adults.

These results reflect the trend of an increasing number of American adults aligning themselves with the LGBTQ+ community each year since Gallup began collecting such data.

The staggeringly high percentage of zoomers and millennials identifying as LGBTQ+ follow concerted efforts by activists to promote sexually degenerate behavior among young people.

Musk, Murdoch to Receive Ruth Bader Ginsburg Award in DC!?

Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch are set to receive the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award this year, along with Sylvester Stallone, Martha Stewart, and philanthropist Michael Milken.

The RBG Awards were established in 2020 to honor women in various fields. This year, however, the awards were expanded to include both men and women.

“Justice Ginsburg fought not only for women but for everyone,” said Julie Opperman, chair of the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation, presenters of the award. “Going forward, to embrace the fullness of Justice Ginsburg’s legacy, we honor both women and men who have changed the world,” she insisted.

The selections of Musk, in the ‘Entrepreneurship’ category, and Murdoch, in the ‘Media Mogul’ category, are sure to raise eyebrows. In addition to his endeavors in electric cars and space travel, Musk is a well-known free speech advocate who has made waves on social media for his support of right-leaning content, and Murdoch is the founder of NewsCorp. — parent company of Fox News. Ginsburg is a far-left “feminist” icon and was one of the Supreme Court’s most “progressive” justices.

It appears that both Murdoch and Musk saw the humor in their receiving the awards, with each responding with a statement that subtly acknowledged their significant political differences with the deceased Ginsburg.

“I am deeply honored to receive the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award,” Murdoch told the foundation in response to the award. “This recognition not only reflects my journey in the media and publishing industry but also represents the relentless defense of civil liberties and a commitment to civil discourse that Justice Ginsburg embodied. Her unique ability to maintain friendships and professional relationships across the political spectrum was one of her greatest attributes,” he continued.

“Free speech is the foundation of democracy,” Musk told the foundation.

WATCH: Jimmy Kimmel Plays Out Weird Gay Jail Sex Fantasies About Donald Trump.

Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel aired a confusing bit directed at former President Donald Trump on his show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Tuesday evening. The segment featured an attempted tongue-in-cheek examination of what life might be like for the former President were he to spend time behind bars.

Kimmel engaged a panel of ex-inmates for a discussion on what life is like in prison — discussing aspects of incarceration, like food, social media, and potential ‘romantic’ relationships. One ex-inmate suggested a “big Black man” may take Trump under his wing, with Kimmel responding: “So you’re saying racists can get along in certain situations, be they sexual.” The bizarre bit continued with the late-night host and panel of ex-inmates using action figures to enact a hypothetical scene of Trump’s life in jail.

The late-night host focused heavily on racial dynamics in prison as comedic material. Kimmel mused about which race-based gang Trump might join, asking the ex-inmates: “What group would he be in? Is there an orange?”

An incredibly revolting moment centered on how the former President might gain access to a phone to post on social media. One of the ex-inmates lewdly suggested how Melania Trump might smuggle in a phone and power charger, telling Kimmel: “And there’s only one place to put it up, right?”

Pornhub Pulls of Out Texas Because State Won’t Let Minors Access It.

Pornhub, a leading online portal for adult content, has suspended its services in Texas in response to a newly enacted state law requiring commercial adult content websites to verify that users are at least 18 years old before providing access to explicit material.

In a public message, Pornhub explained its reluctance to comply with the law, insisting that requiring age verification intrudes upon individuals’ rights to access adult content and argues that it fails in its objective to safeguard minors. The adult entertainment company, however, has agreed to honor the law by disabling their service in the state.

Authorities in Texas welcomed the news, with Texas Family Project President Brady Gray stating, “Texas families just keep winning!” Gray went on to acknowledge pro-family advocates who played key roles in advancing the legislative agenda.

House Bill 1181 enforces a $10,000 daily penalty for platforms that fail to confirm users’ age. Pornhub, among others, made futile attempts to prevent the bill from taking effect, arguing that it contravened the First Amendment and users’ privacy rights. Despite a temporary reprieve granted by a lower court, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the law’s constitutionality.

Despite its claims to the contrary, PornHub behaves as if it wants minors to access its explicit, pornographic content. The same age-verification protocol has been enacted in seven other states, with Pornhub similarly opting to restrict access instead of implementing verification mechanisms. Last month, Texas AG Ken Paxton sued Pornhub’s parent company Aylo for refusing to comply with the new regulation.

This comes as the company contends with multiple lawsuits alleging exploitation of underage victims. In February, a Pornhub spokeswoman advocated for sex ed in kindergarten and implied she had watched children masturbate.

Biden’s VA to Expand IVF to Gays.

The Department of Veterans Affairs under Joe Biden is set to expand taxpayer-funded fertility treatments to unmarried persons, including homosexual couples and would-be single parents.

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough said “raising a family is a wonderful thing” and he was “proud that VA will soon help more Veterans have that opportunity.”

Previously, fertility treatments were only available to married, heterosexual couples. Now, qualified veterans will have access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) using donated sperm or eggs.

Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.), who has helped to push the “inclusive” changes, said they were “an important step forward that will help more veterans start and grow their families — and it’s especially timely as IVF is under attack from the far right.”

Murray was likely referring to an Alabama court ruling that fertilized embryos qualify as children, leading some fertility treatments in the state to be paused amid fears disposing of unviable or unused embryos could be a crime.

Far from endorsing this, Republican leader Donald Trump urged lawmakers in the state to protect access to IVF. Legislators and the state governor quickly passed a law doing so.

Dem Resolution Declares Racism ‘Public Health Crisis.’

Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has introduced a resolution designating racism as a “public health crisis.” The resolution, alleging health disparities and inequities across varying societal sectors, cites “microaggressions” and “police violence,” among other progressive obsessions.

Brown’s resolution notes that “Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are 2.5-times more likely to die from diabetes than non-Hispanic White women,” and “Black, Hispanic or Latino, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Native American communities experienced disproportionately high rates of COVID–19 infection” – but does not explain how racism causes these maladies.

It also asserts, without supporting evidence, that “inequities in health outcomes are exacerbated for people of color who are LGBTQIA+,” and blasts the United States as a country with “a longstanding history and legacy of racism, mistreatment, and discrimination that has perpetuated health inequities for members of racial and ethnic minority groups.”

Brown — who recently hired a black man to say the ‘n-word’ for his latest audiobook — also suggests black people are regularly “confronted and threatened by armed citizens while performing everyday tasks, such as jogging in neighborhoods, driving, or playing in a park,” and that these encounters can cause “severe physical or psychological harm” even when they are not “fatal.”

Polls show Donald Trump is currently leading Joe Biden by nine points in Brown’s state.

England BANS Puberty Blockers for Kids.

The National Health Service (NHS) in England has ceased prescribing puberty blockers to children attending gender identity clinics. The socialized healthcare service’s decision follows an independent review of gender identity services for under-18s in 2020.

Government Health Minister Maria Caulfield said, “children’s safety and wellbeing is paramount, so we welcome this landmark decision by the NHS.”

“Ending the routine prescription of puberty blockers will help ensure that care is based on evidence, expert clinical opinion and is in the best interests of the child,” she added.

The review, led by Dr. Hilary Cass, followed a surge in children referred to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, for puberty blockers. Referrals crossed 5,000 in 2021-22, a stark increase from fewer than 250 cases as recently as a decade ago.

GIDS, which has been mired in multiple scandals and has been sued for rushing patients into life-altering transgenderism procedures, will be terminating its services by the end of this month.

Children will reportedly still be able to receive puberty blockers as part of clinical research trials, however.

KASSAM: It’s Obvious They’ll Use Taylor Swift (& Others) To Juice Biden Rallies.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, warned that Taylor Swift and other leftist celebrities will be deployed to try and turn out voters for Joe Biden, with tools such as TikTok and AI being used to increase their effectiveness.

“We saw the pictures of the Biden rally the other day. What were there, like, eight people in line?” Kassam said on War Room.

“There’s only one way these guys know how to juice those numbers, and that is with the celebrity factor,” he noted.

Kassam recalled Swift had pushed through a packed touring schedule around the Super Bowl despite being sick but is taking a break from touring in the run-up to November.

“Hmm, I wonder what could be happening then? I wonder who she might be going up on stage with every couple of days?” he said.

“Frankly, at this point, let’s hear her deny it,” Kassam continued, noting Swift involved herself in Super Tuesday despite having previously suggested she was sitting politics out.

“You think that the Democrat pollsters, with all their AI, with all their TikTok API tools, with all this, are not in the field, are not in multiple fields, asking the people who showed up on Super Tuesday: ‘Hey, were you influenced at all by Taylor Swift telling you [to vote]?’ And they’re running those numbers and they’re seeing where it applies on a county-by-county basis,” he warned.

Kassam concluded by urging conservatives to remember that “2016 got 2020’d,” and “we are inching closer to 2024 getting 2020’d as well” as a result of TikTok and other entities being used against them.
