Happy Easter: Democrats Double Down on ‘Transgender Visibility Day’
Democrats have doubled down on their support of “Transgender Visibility Day” on Easter Sunday despite widespread backlash from conservatives.
After Biden on Friday affirmed the controversial holiday as the same day as Easter Sunday, the holiest Christian holiday, other Democrats piled on in support.
“On Transgender Day of Visibility, the Biden-Harris Administration honors the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirms our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union where all people are treated equally,” White House press secretary Jean-Pierre posted Saturday on X.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) likewise recognized the transgender holiday.
“On this #TransDayOfVisibility, I want our #transgender and non-binary community to know that your city sees you, stands with you, and will protect you. Always,” he wrote. “New York City is the birthplace of the modern #LGBTQ+ Civil Rights movement and we will always march with you towards justice.”

Former President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and other conservative lawmakers and activists alike blasted the move as an affront to Christianity’s holiest day.
“We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and the White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only — the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Interestingly, the Uncensored.AI chatbot recognized the declaration of Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday as a Satanic tactic.
I just asked https://t.co/wt1e9iRnGG if Biden declaring the Transgender Day of Visibility was Satanic?

Border Patrol Catches Previously-Deported Murderer Back In US
An illegal alien who was convicted of first-degree murder was caught by U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) after reentering the United States, authorities say.
USBP Chief Jason Owens announced the arrest of a Mexican male with a long list of felony convictions near the southern border in El Paso Sector last week.
“USBP agents in Deming, NM arrested a Mexican national w/ prior convictions for 1st Degree Murder, Battery, Stalking, & Probation Violations,” Chief Owens explained on social media on Thursday.
“This is what’s known as an aggravated felon. He does not belong in the U.S., let alone in your communities.”

No other information was shared about the dangerous invader other than a photograph which depicts a heavily-inked man with a face tattoo who appears to approximately be in his 20s.
He was just one of multiple dangerous criminals caught in El Paso Sector last week.
A previously-deported member of the “Paisas” gang was arrested at a stash house in Las Cruces, New Mexico, along with two smugglers running the operation and 10 illegal aliens.

‘My Views Have Changed’: Anti-Trump Actor Michael Rapaport Signals Political Shift Amid Disastrous Biden Policies
Anti-Trump actor Michael Rapaport suggested he’s had a change of heart when it comes to the 45th president after enduring years of disastrous Democrat policies led by Joe Biden.
In an interview with the Visegrad 24 podcast last Thursday, Rapaport, a liberal who for years railed against former President Donald Trump and his supporters, said that voting for Trump is now “on the table.”
“My political views have changed immensely,” Rapaport said. “I will not vote for Joe Biden. At this point when we’re doing this interview, voting for Trump is on the table. People are like, ‘What are you talking about?’ That’s my reality. I will not support anybody who’s anti-Israel. I will not support anybody that is anti-making America safe.”
“I won’t vote for Biden. At this point voting Trump is on the table (…) I won’t support anyone anti-Israel or anti making USA safe,”

Visegrad24 spoke with @MichaelRapaport about his how his political views have changed since Oct. 7th.

Rapaport went on to lambast Biden’s open-border policies.
“I’m not down with that shit,” he said. “I’m not down with police officers in the greatest city on earth getting beaten up. You’re an illegal immigrant, and then you have no bail, [and then] flipping off the f***ing camera,” he continued.
“I’m not down with going into a Costco or a 7/11, cleaning out the spot,” he said of flash mobs looting retail stores in blue cities.
“So any of these people that support it, I’m not voting for them. I’m not getting caught up or suckered into these race politics or any of that bulls*** anymore,” he added.
Rapaport signaled a shift in his political views shortly after Israel was attacked by Hamas on Oct. 7 and has since come to realize the duplicitous nature of the corporate media.
Polls show Biden’s approval has fallen significantly among liberals who feel alienated by his stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
That disapproval has manifested in the Democrat primaries.
Michigan saw 13% of voters vote “uncommitted” in protest of Biden’s support of Israel, as well as 19% in Minnesota and 29% in Hawaii last week.
The Era of Informed Consent is Over
In a significant blow to patient autonomy, informed consent has been quietly revoked just 77 years after it was codified in the Nuremberg Code.
On the 21st of December 2023, as we were frantically preparing for the festive season, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final ruling to amend a provision of the 21st Century Cures Act. This allowed..
…an exception from the requirement to obtain informed consent when a clinical investigation poses no more than a minimal risk to the human subject…
This ruling went into effect on January 22nd, 2024, which means it’s already standard practice across America.
So, what is the 21st Century Cures Act? It is a controversial Law enacted by the 114th United States Congress in January 2016 with strong support from the pharmaceutical industry. The Act was designed to
…accelerate the discovery, development, and delivery of 21st-century cures, and for other purposes [?]…[emphasis added]
Some of the provisions within this Act make for uncomfortable reading. For example, the Act supported:
High-risk, high-reward research [Sec. 2036].
Novel clinical trial designs [Sec. 3021]
Encouraging vaccine innovation [Sec. 3093].
This Act granted the National Institutes of Health (NIH) legal protection to pursue high-risk, novel vaccine research. A strong case could be made that these provisions capture all the necessary architecture required for much of the evil that transpired over the past four years.
Overturning patient-informed consent was another stated goal of the original Act. Buried under Section 3024 was the provision to develop an
Informed consent waiver or alteration for clinical investigation.
Scholars of medical history understand that the concept of informed consent, something we all take for granted today, is a relatively new phenomenon codified in its modern understanding as one of the critical principles of the Nuremberg Code in 1947. It is inconceivable that just 77 years after Nuremberg, the door has once again opened for state-sanctioned medical experimentation on potentially uninformed and unwilling citizens.
According to this amendment, the state alone, acting through the NIH, the FDA, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will decide what is considered a “minimal risk” and, most concerning, will determine:
…appropriate safeguards to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of human subjects.
Notice the term subjects, not patients, persons, individuals, or citizens…but subjects. In asymmetrical power relationships such as clinician/patient, it is understood that the passive subject will comply with the rulings and mandates of their medical masters. The use of the term subjects also serves to dehumanise. The dehumanisation of populations was a critical component of Nazi human experimentation and, as Hannah Arendt argued, is an essential step toward denying citizens “…the right to have rights.”
This ruling also allows researchers and their misguided evangelical billionaire backers to potentially pursue dangerous experimental programs such as Bill Gates’ mosquito vaccines, mRNA vaccines in livestock, and vaccines in aerosols. This Act encourages these novel and high-risk programs, with medical studies approved as ‘minimal risk’ by the regulators no longer requiring researchers and pharmaceutical companies to obtain patient consent. Yet, the histories of pharmacology and medicine are plagued with clinical investigations and interventions that were thought to pose no more than minimal risk to humans but went on to cause immeasurable pain, suffering, and death.
This amendment represents merely a first tentative step as the US government tests the waters to see what it can get away with. Given the lack of attention this ruling received in both the corporate press and independent media, the government is likely to feel emboldened to widen its scope. Thus, this decision represents the beginning of a chilling revisionism in Western medical history, as patient autonomy is again forsaken.
This ruling, to be actioned by potentially corrupt scientists, health bureaucrats, and captured health and drug regulators, is another step toward a dystopian future unimaginable just five years ago. No doubt the infrastructure to implement this decree is already being constructed by the same groupthink cultists responsible for the nightmarish pandemic lockdowns, continuing to place the pursuit of profit and the greater good above individual choice, bodily autonomy, and informed consent.
Watch: Another US Bridge Hit By Cargo Ship
The Oklahoma State Patrol has completely closed a highway after a barge struck the US-59 Bridge over the Arkansas River on Saturday.
Law enforcement is diverting traffic away from the area, to the south of Sallisaw, until inspections of the structure can be made, the state highway service wrote on X (formerly Twitter). There were no reports of injuries on the road or the barge, AP news agency quoted patrol spokesperson Sarah Stewart as saying.
It was not immediately known what led to the collision. Video circulating on X shows the moment the barge impacted the bridge supports.
Another bridge struck by a barge.

The incident comes less than a week after the cargo hauler MV Dali struck and completely collapsed the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, killing six people. The freighter struck a support of the 1.6-mile (2.6 km) long structure in the early hours of Tuesday, causing it to topple into the river, taking vehicles and people with it.
Operations to clear the bridge rubble weighing down the MV Dali are currently ongoing. While the cargo hauler and bridge rubble are blocking the way, the port city of Baltimore is unable to resume marine traffic, a key industry for the area. Crews have been working to cut up portions of the metal bridge, with the first section being lifted on Saturday.

By some estimates, the repair bill could end up running upward of $1 billion if a whole new bridge needs to be erected, the Washington Post wrote on Thursday.
YouTube Says It Has a ‘Responsibility’ To Manipulate Algorithms Leading Up to 2024 Election
“Responsibility” is a good word. It’s even better as an actual thing. But even just as a word, it’s a positive one. It signals that reliable people/entities are behind some project, or policy.
So no wonder then, that the thoroughly disgraced Google/YouTube – as far as censorship and biased political approach – are trying to use the word “responsibility” as a narrative fig leaf to cover what the giant platform is actually up to – and has been, for a long while.
Enter, YouTube’s newest chief product officer, Johanna Voolich. What are the priorities here? It could be summed up as, four R’s and One C – namely, YouTube’s “remove, raise, reward, reduce” content approach – that’s as per a blog post published by YouTube itself.
And then, C would be speculative, for “censorship” – which is what these supposedly fair and “uplifting” actions in reality end up achieving.
If you thought any of this could be achieved by YouTube without “boosting authoritative content” – think again. That is still a solid pledge, regurgitated by Voolich.
And if you thought somebody would finally come out and clearly spell out how, and according to whose definition, content gets to be dubbed “authoritative” or otherwise – just don’t hold your breath.
The sum total is that YouTube has a new product manager, but that nothing has changed.
Certainly not in this year of election.
And while Voolich made perfunctory references to creators benefiting from new features, and even being heard (via feedback), they also learn that when that’s convenient, AI is advertised as a tool to “empower creativity.” (Otherwise, AI is denounced as a scourge to democracy itself.)
But when all that’s said, there’s the overarching issue of YouTube’s “responsibility.” To do what, you might wonder – give its users/creators the best tools and opportunities – or act as proxy campaigner for a certain political and ideological option, in the US, but also, elsewhere in the world?
YouTube’s self-professed “4 R’s of responsibility” may or may not provide some insight into what the answer to that serious question might be.
R1 – “Remove content that violates our policy as quickly as possible.”
R2 – “Raise up authoritative voices when people are looking for breaking news and information.”
R3 – “Reward trusted, eligible creators and artists.”
R4 – “Reduce the spread of content that brushes right up against our policy line.”
And that, right there, is a solid foundation for continued, effective “C” – Censorship.
