Anthony Chabot Elementary School in Oakland, California, is reportedly hosting a “playdate social” for children from every racial and ethnic background besides white.
“If your family identifies as Black, Brown, or API or are [sic] a parent/caregiver of a Black, Brown, or API student. Come hang out while we get a chance to know each other and build our community as we kick off this schoolyear [sic],” reads the invite to the event, hosted by the school’s so-called Equity & Inclusion Committee.
“I dunno about others, but I’m genuinely upset about what ultimately boils down to a “No whites allowed” playdate,” complained the Reddit user who shared the invite online, saying their child attends the school involved.
“How is this productive? Why are we continuing to segregate people, let alone KIDS,” they continued. “I feel this is more divisive, and we’ll look back in 5, 10, 20 years and cringe so hard that we tried to beat racism by segregating kids of color from white kids.”

Tucker Carlson believes Joe Biden’s government cannot resist harassing Hungary, a NATO ally, because it identifies too explicitly as Christian – much like Russia. “They hate Hungary, and they hate it not because of what’s it done but because of what it is: It’s a Christian country, and they hate that, and that’s the truth,” Carlson said in a recent speech in Budapest, the Hungarian capital.
“[I]t’s not a particularly provocative Christian country. I don’t think most Hungarians go to church. It’s not a theocracy; you’re not required to believe in the Catechism to live here, it’s nothing like that. It’s a soft Christian country… Three-hundred years ago people would look at modern Hungary and say: ‘That’s not a Christian country.’ But by modern standards it’s one of the last countries that identifies as a nation built on Christian precepts… [T]hat is enough to incite our policymakers in the United States, and it’s exactly why they hate Russia, by the way.”
Hungarian leader Viktor Orban has described his country in similar terms, saying: “Christianity is culture and civilization. We live in it. It is not about how many people go to church or how many pray honestly. Culture is the reality of everyday life.”
Compared to Hungary, Russia is far more multi-confessional, containing several constituent republics in which Islam is the majority faith, and even one in which Buddhism is the majority faith.
Nevertheless, the once-persecuted Russian Orthodox Church was restored to a prominent place in public life after the end of communism, and became an important cultural link with countries in the Russkiy mir (“Russian world”) like Ukraine.
The Ukrainian government has attempted to sever the Orthodox church in Ukraine’s links to the Patriarch of Moscow, however, backing an alternative, largely unrecognized church and turning over important religious sites to them.
The world is realigning at high speed, and turning against the United States. But the Biden Administration is spending its time harassing one of our last sincere allies in Europe, Hungary, for the crime of being too Christian. Watch.

Joe Biden has requested additional funding from the U.S. Congress to develop a new coronavirus vaccine to combat the latest variant, warning that everyone will be ‘tentatively’ encouraged to get another booster shot.
Biden, who has spent weeks on end on vacation, told a reporter amidst a chorus of boos, “I signed off this morning on a proposal we have to present to the Congress a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works.”
“Tentatively it is recommended that it will likely be recommended everybody get it no matter whether they’ve gotten it before or not,” he added.
Pharmaceutical giants Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax are all in the process of updating vaccines to combat the new strains. All will require approval from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which only last week admitted that the vaccines do not prevent transmission from one of the latest variants known as BA.2.86 or “Pirola.”
The number of people willing to get boosted has fallen dramatically over the past few months, with only 17 percent of the American public receiving the latest “bivalent Covid booster.”

Ron DeSantis’ super PAC ‘Never Back Down‘ has poured over $12.3 million into a new advertisement campaign in a desperate attempt to reinvigorate the Florida Governor’s 2024 Republican presidential nominee campaign.
The vast majority of the funds was allocated to the state of Iowa, in which the Florida Governor trails former President Donald Trump by over 20 points. Around $11.4 million has been spent targeting media markets in the state, with the rest used for a national buy on the already DeSantis-sympathizing Fox News, according to AdImpact data.
The ads are due to start on September 6 and are expected to run through until Halloween.
Never Back Down’s total spend is up to $31 million, outspending Donald Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc, by nearly $10 million. Only Tim Scott’s TIM PAC has spent more at $37 million.
However, Never Back Down has announced its intention to increase ad spending to as much as $25 million in Iowa and New Hampshire, where DeSantis is polling fourth behind the 45th President, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Chris Christie. The campaign will include TV bookings, digital and direct advertisement – such as mailers and text messages – and will shift focus onto the Governor of Florida’s “personal qualities” and his wife, Jill “Casey” DeSantis.
Despite the staggering financial commitments the super PAC has made to DeSantis, rumors abounded last month that it may look to abandon the Florida Governor due to his crumbling numbers and support.

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Tropical Storm Idalia is expected to become a hurricane on Tuesday as it moves off the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula towards the U.S. state of Florida. With maximum sustained winds of 40 mph, the storm is currently moving northeast at just 3 mph.
Throughout the day today, the storm will begin to make a more noticeable northward movement, gaining forward speed as it enters the eastern Gulf of Mexico tonight and into Tuesday. Weather experts predict the storm will intensify over the next 24 hours. It is forecasted to make landfall in Florida as a Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday morning. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency for 33 counties along the Gulf Coast as a precautionary measure.
Currently, Idalia is approximately 95 miles off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico. Heavy rain has been reported in parts of the Yucatan Peninsula and western Cuba due to the tropical storm. The National Hurricane Center has issued hurricane and storm surge watches for parts of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
A second hurricane, named Franklin, is moving across the western Atlantic and could potentially affect Bermuda in the coming days. It is currently a Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph, moving to the NNW at 8 mph. Franklin is about 565 miles southwest of Bermuda. Over the next few days, it is expected to strengthen further, potentially reaching major hurricane status on Monday.

Disgraced former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to force the Taliban to sit down and watch women’s football until they disregard their religious beliefs and learn to appreciate women’s sports. Seriously.
Johnson, who was Prime Minister during the calamitous loss of Kabul to the Taliban in August 2020, argues he would strap the “bigoted and chauvinistic” Taliban into chairs until they understand the excitement that comes along with women’s soccer, regardless of whether they show skin or not. His ludicrous comments came in his latest Daily Mail column, for which the former Prime Minister is understood to earn at least $100,000 a year, writing one (often nonsensical) article per week.
“I would force the quivering men of this all-male government to accept the key point: that the skill and courage of the Lionesses [the English women’s soccer team] are admired by everyone,” Johnson wrote, before adding that the current lack of women’s soccer in Afghanistan is enough to “make you weep.”
The former “Conservative” Party leader went on to defend himself and President Joe Biden over the fall of Kabul on August 15, which witnessed the deaths of more than a dozen American soldiers and hundreds of Afghan civilians, suggesting that Donald Trump was to blame:
“I also understand that Joe Biden felt he had no good choices. His predecessor, Donald Trump, had already agreed to pull out every last American soldier, bar none… What was Biden’s alternative?”
Recent revelations leave the blame solely on the American security apparatus’ doorstep, rather than that of the 45th President, as the Pentagon knew an attack on the Kabul airport was imminent, yet nearly nothing was done by the Biden regime to avert the disaster.

BBC staff have admitted to digitally altering a photograph of a white hand placing a ballot inside a box to make it look like a black person instead, in a bizarre, racially-motivated alteration to an image attached to a story about elections in Wales.
The original photo first appeared on the BBC’s website in 2018 and shows a white hand putting a piece of paper into a ballot box with the Welsh flag across it. Yet, the latest version – deployed shortly after the Black Lives Matter protests – shows the same image poorly photoshopped to make the hand black.
A spokesman for the BBC announced following the complaints, “although there is no intention to mislead, should not have happened and is not acceptable BBC practice. We will be reminding our staff of this.”
Conservative Member of Parliament Peter Bone asked, “Why on earth would anyone want to change the colour of a hand?” before adding: “The BBC has serious questions to answer. First, they have got to explain why on earth that happened. What was the reasoning for it? What was the thought behind it? What were they trying to say? Why did they falsify the image?”
The BBC has not yet given a reason for its replacement of a white hand with that of a black hand.
Wales – a country within the United Kingdom, sitting to the West of England – is overwhelmingly white, with around 94 percent of the population identifying themselves as “white: Welsh, English, Scottish, Northern Irish, or British.” Black people make up less than one percent of the population, according to demographic statistics from the Welsh government.
The bizarre editorial decision emerged just days after the BBC edited its own report on a convicted pedophile in an effort to hide the fact the man was a prominent drag queen.

Donald Trump raised over $7.1 million since the release of his mugshot on Thursday, with over $20 million raised in the past three weeks. The latest haul comes amidst sales of mugshot merchandise, including the already infamous photo of the 45th President and the words ‘NEVER SURRENDER,’ including shirts, posters, bumper stickers, mugs, and even drinks coolers.
Trump’s presidential campaign raised $4.18 million last Friday alone, representing a record for the highest 24-hour fundraising effort in his campaign to date.
The merchandise, costing anywhere between $12 to $34, forms part of Trump’s dominance over small-dollar donations as his 2024 presidential campaign has been overwhelmingly reliant upon grassroots support.
Last month, the former President’s small-dollar donations made up a whopping 81.8 percent of all his campaign finances – far ahead of second-place Vivek Ramaswamy with 57.5 percent, and Ron DeSantis who counts less than 20 percent of his campaign funds as coming from small dollar donors.
By the end of the 2016 primaries, Ted Cruz, Trump’s top opponent at the time, had spent $163M. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to spend at least $200M in his attempt to defeat the man who got him elected.

France has announced a ban on Muslim girls wearing the abaya – an Islamic robe designed to be loose-fitting and cover one’s body– on the grounds that the clothing contravenes the nation’s secular-based education. The ban will come into force on September 4.
“When you walk into a classroom, you shouldn’t be able to identify the pupils’ religion just by looking at them,” stated the French Education Minister, Gabriel Attal, over the weekend.
“Secularism means the freedom to emancipate oneself through school… [the abaya is] a religious gesture, aimed at testing the resistance of the republic toward the secular sanctuary that school must constitute,” Attal added.
The French government has already banned headscarves in public schools for nearly 20 years, citing similar reasoning. The country has also made the then-unprecedented move among Western nations in 2010 to ban the wearing of full-face veils.
The prohibition of religious symbols does not merely apply to Islam as Christian symbols, such as crosses, have been banned in French schools since the 19th century.
