NY Schools to Hold Special Graduation for LGBTQ Students
The City College of New York (CCNY) in Manhattan is set to host its third annual “Lavender Graduation” for students who identify as “LGBTQIA+” later this month.
“Lavender Graduation is an annual ceremony conducted on numerous campuses to honor lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, asexual, intersex, questioning, and ally students and to acknowledge their achievements and contributions to the University,” the CCNY website states.
“Through such recognition, LGBTQ+ students may leave the university with a positive last experience of the institution thereby encouraging them to become involved mentors for current students, as well as contributing alumni,” the event’s description page says.
“Lavender Graduation is an event to which LGBTQ+ students share their hopes and dreams with one another, and are officially recognized by the institution for their leadership and their successes and achievements.”
The Lavender Graduation will be co-organized by LaGuardia Community College, which it also did last year.
The event is also backed by the New York City Council LGBTQIA Caucus.
The speaker of last year’s ceremony was Cecilia Gentili, a “transgender woman” who has worked as a “sex worker” and lived “undocumented for 10 years” upon coming to the U.S., according to his profile on the Trans Equity Consulting website, which he founded.
Pro-Palestianian Protesters Backed by ‘Biden’s Biggest Donors,’ Politico Admits
Pro-Palestinian protest groups overrunning university campuses across the country are backed by some of Joe Biden’s biggest donors, including George Soros, Bill Gates, and David Rockefeller Jr., Politico reported on Sunday.

Ironic, given the demonstrators calling Biden “Genocide Joe” are receiving financial backing from the same globalists pushing hard for his reelection.

From Politico:
The donors include some of the biggest names in Democratic circles: Gates, Soros, Rockefeller and Pritzker, according to a POLITICO analysis.
Two of the main organizers behind protests at Columbia University and on other campuses are Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow. Both are supported by the Tides Foundation, which is seeded by Democratic megadonor George Soros as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and it in turn supports numerous small nonprofits that work for social change. (Gates did not return a request for comment, and Soros declined to comment.)
Another notable Democratic donor whose philanthropy has helped fund the protest movement is David Rockefeller Jr., who sits on the board of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. In 2022, the fund gave $300,000 to the Tides Foundation; according to nonprofit tax forms, Tides has given nearly $500,000 over the past five years to Jewish Voice for Peace, which explicitly describes itself as anti-Zionist.
Several other groups involved in pro-Palestinian protests are backed by a foundation funded by Susan and Nick Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt Hotel empire — and supporters of Biden and numerous Democratic campaigns, including $6,600 to the Biden Victory Fund a few months ago and more than $300,000 during the 2020 campaign.
Biden last week condemned the protests backed by his own donors that at times have become violent.
“Destroying property is not a peaceful protest, it’s against the law,” Biden said. “Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduation, none of this is a peaceful protest.”
Politico explained that Democrat politics are sometimes at odds with leftist causes, and the Israel-Gaza conflict is the latest example.
“The trail of donations shows a series of blurred lines when it comes to liberal causes and Democratic politics,” the outlet reported. “Often those missions are aligned, but they also sometimes have different and — particularly when it comes to Gaza — conflicting agendas and tactics. And a small group of wealthy heavyweights are often playing an outsize role funding many of them.”
“Some advisers to left-leaning causes say that’s just part of the way things work when it comes to philanthropic giving,” Politico added.
The report must embarrass pundits like Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto, who argued on Friday that Soros had nothing to do with the campus protests.
WATCH: High-Speed Smuggling Pursuit Ends in Horror Crash, Bailout in Texas
A suspected human smuggler driving a stolen pickup truck caused a ghastly multi-vehicle accident before bailing out and trying to escape on foot, Texas authorities say.
The shocking incident unfolded in Hidalgo County on April 8, but the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) just released footage captured from the air and ground.

The suspect, identified as Juan David Guzman, was seen dropping off illegal aliens in a red pickup truck near a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint on US-281.
Guzman then led TxDPS troopers on a high-speed pursuit, weaving through traffic and putting other motorists in extreme danger.
As he was approaching a major intersection, he attempted to pass a tractor-trailer, but lost control and slammed into the rear of a small SUV stopped at the light.
The collision sent the SUV crashing into a minivan as the badly damaged pickup rolled aimlessly across multiple lanes of traffic.
Guzman bailed out of the truck and began running but was caught after a brief foot chase.
Troopers later discovered the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Palmview, Texas, where Guzman resides.
He was charged with smuggling of persons, evading arrest, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
The conditions of other motorists involved in the pile-up are unclear.
Dangerous smuggling pursuits unfold constantly along the U.S.-Mexico border, as InfoWars frequently reports.

The Not-So-Great Game
Once upon a time, spying was great fun. It was dangerous and exciting and sexy.
If you were a spy, you were risking everything for your country, including your life. Travelling in disguise with forged papers and secret messages hidden on your person, speaking exotic tongues, pursued relentlessly at every turn by dangerous enemies who would give no mercy if you fell into their hands. Show me a young man of spirit who wouldn’t fancy a crack at that.
In the Victorian era, British and Russian spies engaged in a thrilling secret war in the blasted, desolate terrain that separated the Russian empire’s underbelly from the northern outposts of the Raj. Rudyard Kipling dubbed this secret war the “Great Game.” The British were terrified the Russians would attempt an invasion of India by land, and they were right. The Russians did want to invade. The jewels of British India sparkled far too bright.
The problem for both parties was that they didn’t really know what lay between the two frontiers, apart from hostile tribes, decadent khans and emirs and some very nasty deserts and mountain ranges. And so, for the better part of a century, Britain and Russia sent some of their most daring, talented men out into the wilderness to scout, forge alliances and sew discord and misinformation among their enemies and their enemies’ ever-shifting allies.
The stakes, as I say, were of the highest order. Peter Hopkirk’s fantastic book The Great Game opens with a miserable anecdote about two British spies who were captured by the pampered emir of Bokhara, in modern-day Uzbekistan. Colonel Charles Stoddart and Captain Arthur Connolly were kept together in a stinking, muddy, rat-filled pit for months before they were beheaded under the “blazing midday sun” in the town’s square, surrounded by a small group of local peasants.
The two men had been sent by the British East India Company to offer an overture to the emir, in the hope of securing a treaty against the Russians, but instead negotiations soured. And that was the difference between life and death.
Things aren’t the same today. Just look at what’s happening between America and its chief geopolitical adversary China right now.
Instead of donning some elaborate disguise to get into the US, a would-be Chinese spy need only rock up at the southern border in his tracksuit and walk across. He scarcely has to look up from his phone. He may get picked up by Border Patrol, but—small inconvenience—he’ll soon be released into the country, where he can travel anywhere he pleases.
Great Game, I think not.
That’s what tens of thousands of Chinese nationals are now doing every year, entering the US illegally across the southern border. Figures for the first six months of the year show that nearly 25,000 Chinese nationals were apprehended crossing the border illegally. If rates continue for the rest of the year, that will be a 14,000% increase on figures from 2021, when just 342 Chinese nationals were apprehended by Border Patrol.
Remember: these are just the ones who are apprehended. The real figures are likely to be much higher.
Many of these people must be spies. The Chinese would be stupid not to be sending spies. And the Chinese aren’t stupid.
After all, the Chinese regime does everything else it can to sabotage America’s capabilities, from cyber warfare and stealing patents to social-media apps like TikTok that are literally turning America’s youth into drooling idiots with attention spans that would shame a fairground goldfish. Oh yeah, and biological warfare on a global scale. Don’t forget that!
What serious country would allow this to happen? Would allow tens of thousands of its chief rival’s citizens to enter its territory and then disappear to do God knows what, God knows where?
Is the US a serious country any more?
I’m not so sure.
More and more, with each passing day, I find myself reaching for a simple rule of thumb: “The purpose of a system is what it does.” The border is wide open to flood America with migrants. That’s the aim. And if that helps China send hundreds or thousands of secret operatives into the country, well—maybe that’s the purpose too.
Never forget the degree to which America’s corrupt elites have acquiesced in the nation’s decline, in the destruction of its native industries and their reconstruction abroad, principally in China.
This was the central premise of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and explains why America’s elites reacted so aggressively to his “America First” platform: because their fortunes are not pegged to America’s. America First means elites last.
If you want an example, look at the deliberate sabotage of America’s rare-earth-metals industry. Rare-earth metals, you may know, are vital for high-tech electronics. China now has a virtual monopoly on the production and trade in these substances, but this is a recent development. So do a little digging on why the massive open-pit mine at Mountain Pass, California was closed, when it could have been mined for another 30 years. Look at who helped pass the Desert Protection Act that forced it to close and look at her husband’s interests in Chinese business. Consider also how the senator in question had a Chinese mole in her staff for 20 years, until they were unmasked in 2018.
This is just one example among countless others.
As American declines, and ordinary people see the America Dream evaporate before their eyes, all the elites see is the chance for greater enrichment—rising stocks, broadening portfolios, a happy ending.
So when we look at these immigration figures, let them remind us that the work of 2016, the true work, still remains to be done. Globalism is still the enemy, at home and abroad.
America first.

Biden Campaign Says They Will SHORTEN His Speeches
The Biden campaign team has admitted that they are looking to shorten his speeches, presumably to limit the visibility of his cognitive decline.
The campaign, however, insists they simply want to prioritize “quality over quantity.”
“Our campaign believes in quality over quantity,” Biden Deputy Campaign manager Quentin Fulks told MSBNC on Saturday. “We believe that these touches, these smaller things that are getting to the point about what is going on in the stakes of this election are gonna be easier for the voters to tap into.”
NBC reports Biden’s handlers are “looking to shorten his speeches” to limit his public displays of cognitive decline.

Given Biden’s speeches are already conspicuously short, how much shorter can his speeches really get?
Is that..possible?

I suppose they can just have him show up, smile, crap his pants and leave.
I guess they can’t shorten his responses in press conferences since he hardly gives any.

This comes days after reports emerged that Biden was using a team of “walkers” to flank him on his way to Marine One to hide his “shuffling gait.”
From The Telegraph:
Traditionally, presidents approach the helicopter alone to give photographers a clearer shot but Mr Biden’s team became concerned that footage of him walking alone emphasised his shuffling gait and could worsen concerns about his age, Axios reported.
They said that walking slowly across the grass alone made Mr Biden look older.
The team has reportedly tasked a team of advisers also travelling with Mr Biden to walk alongside him for the Marine One shot, obscuring Mr Biden’s legs.
Nevertheless, Biden claimed last week that he’d be “happy” to debate former President Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election, a prospect that has many Democrats worried.
