It honestly has nothing to do with age, he is sick and in severe mental decline.
It honestly has nothing to do with age, he is sick and in severe mental decline. We have “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” running the county? How in the world did democrats vote for this guy and there are many planning to vote for him again.
Susan Wild says the president is “very sharp” and the only stumbling is when he trips over words because of his “lifelong speech impediment”. Do people with speech impediments make up stories that never happened? Forget important events in their lives? If he is so “sharp” does he really see dead people?
If was want to just say Biden was “sloppy” with documents, why did he have some from the time he was senator? If Biden’s own lawyers dispute the Hur reports findings, then allow the classified documents case to go to court!
I do appreciate NBC writing an article on this and acknowledging this event took place.
Direct Quotes:
the political blowback from the special counsel’s report Thursday could prove even more devastating, reinforcing impressions that he is too old and impaired to hold the highest office.
Special counsel Robert Hur’s portrait of a man who couldn’t remember when he served as Barack Obama’s vice president, or the year when his beloved son Beau died
“Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
"How in the hell dare you raise that?" Biden said. "Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself, 'It wasn't any of their damn business.' "
A January poll by NBC News found that 76% of voters have major or moderate concerns about Biden’s mental and physical health.
Just this week, Biden twice referred to conversations he’s had as president with foreign leaders who’ve long since died.
“This is beyond devastating,” said another Democratic operative, speaking on condition of anonymity to talk candidly about Biden’s shortcomings. “It confirms every doubt and concern that voters have. If the only reason they didn’t charge him is because he’s too old to be charged, then how can he be president of the United States?”
“He did so well in this discussion with members,” Rep. Susan Wild, D Pa., told NBC News after seeing the president on Thursday. “He’s very sharp, no memory issues, and his only stumbling is when he trips over words consistent with his lifelong speech impediment.”
“The public understands the essential difference between presidents
or vice presidents like Joe Biden who occasionally behaved in sloppy ways with respect to where they were taking documents, and a president like Trump, who deliberately makes off with hundreds of classified government documents and then hides them and refuses to return them,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, D Md., said on Wednesday, before the report was released. (Trump has denied any wrongdoing.)
Hur wrote that there was evidence Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified material after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”
“We do not believe that the report’s treatment of President Biden’s memory is accurate or appropriate,” two of his lawyers wrote in a letter to Hur. “The report uses highly prejudicial language to describe a commonplace occurrence among witnesses: a lack of recall of years-old events.”

This is 100% the Democrats own making
This is 100% the Democrats own making, they were so blinded by her promises to get Trump, they didn’t vet her. If this was a Republican we would have known about the corruption prior to the 2020 election. This case has a real possibility of falling apart and Democrat voters have only themselves to blame.
If Trump is reelected in Nov he will be the most well vetted politician in American history. He is not perfect by any means BUT every possible allegation against him is on the table.
This seems to be a common theme in Democrat offices. After getting elected you use your position to rack up the cash and then give it to family and lovers to wash it, then you take a cut back.
Direct Quotes:
The all-day hearing escalated steadily throughout the day, culminating with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis taking the witness stand for a combative brawl with defense attorneys that drew several rebukes from the judge.
There was talk of cash exchanging hands from Willis to Wade, where they store their money at home, CashApp usage, and their spending habits – all to get to the question of whether Willis benefitted financially from putting him on her staff.
The hearing will continue Friday with Willis still on the stand. The judge said he does not plan to issue a ruling on Friday.
The risks could not be greater, and Willis’ credibility is on the line.
Things quickly went off the rails. Willis didn’t act much like a traditional witness and was more like a prosecutor, arguing with the defense attorneys, raising objections, making legal arguments and even having exchanges with the judge. She even raised her voice at one point.
This led to a few rebukes from McAfee, who urged her and other attorneys in the courtroom to maintain “professionalism” and to not “talk over each other.” Willis repeatedly accused some of the defense attorneys of peddling lies – before and after the judge’s admonishment.
“You’ve lied in this. … I think you lied right here,” Willis said to attorney Ashleigh Merchant, pointing to copies of filings that raised accusations of self-dealing and nepotism.
On the stand, Wade stuck to his earlier claim – in a sworn affidavit submitted to the court – that his romantic relationship with Willis began in early 2022 and that they split travel and vacation expenses.
Bryant-Yeartie said she observed “hugging, kissing, close affection” between Willis and Wade prior to 2022
Wade and Willis have offered a simple explanation for why there’s essentially no paper trail to back up his claims they split expenses: Willis used cash.
Credit card statements submitted in Wade’s divorce proceedings show he paid for two flights for them in recent years, to San Francisco and Miami. They also took lavish trips to Belize, the Bahamas and some Caribbean cruises.
Trump lawyer Steven Sadow asked Willis about the breakup, eliciting an answer that revealed sexist remarks that Wade allegedly made to Willis in the past. She said, he “is used to women that, as he told me one time, ‘the only thing a woman can do for him is make him a sandwich.’” She explained that this was a part of their breakup – but it also was a defense to the self-dealing claims against her.
Nothing that happened Thursday undercut the factual allegations against Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, or the other GOP allies who are accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election.
State prosecutors want that judge to issue a $370 million fine against Trump, after finding that Trump and his company committed significant fraud against banks and insurers by lying about his net worth and assets. They also want Trump barred from doing business in New York.

Now this is pure TDS!
Now this is pure TDS! NPR comes up with a new podcast called Trump’s Trials. I would love to hear NPR’s UpFirst mention Devon Archer or the Hur report. What about a podcast of Hunter? You can explain how he made millions while addicted to drugs.
NPR even admits their agenda here, if Trump is locked up then the campaign trail does not matter. I can only handle so many NPR podcasts in one day but UpFirst has not discussed any of the scandals/rumors about Fani Willis or Letitia James. I wonder if this one has.
Direct Quotes:
Trump's Trials, a new podcast examining the inquiries, trials and criminal probes facing former President Donald Trump.
Trump's Trials is another source for those who want the kind of analysis listeners have come to expect from the NPR podcast portfolio, including The NPR Politics Podcast, Consider This and Up First.
What happens in these courtrooms next year will arguably be more important than what happens on the campaign trail,"

If your family knew you were coming for Thanksgiving why didn’t they wait 10min?
If your family knew you were coming for Thanksgiving why didn’t they wait 10min? I’m assuming this was in the age of cell phones. We’ve postponed Thanksgiving meals because of NFL overtime and family who is running 10 – 15 min late. Maybe it’s a southern or Christian thing but we’ve defiantly waited during social events. Now if it’s Church or work, if you ain’t there 5 - 10 min early…you late.

It's true that Biden mistakenly mentioned Mitterrand's name when the real French President he spoke with was Emmanuel Macron.
You know, right — right after I was elected, I went to what they call a G7 meeting, all the NATO leaders. And it was in — it was in the south of England. And I sat down and I said, “America is back.”
And Mitterrand [Macron], from Germany — I mean, from France looked at me and said — said, “You know, what — why — how long you back for?” (Laughter.) And I looked at him, and the — and the Chancellor of Germany said, “What would you say, Mr. President, if you picked up the paper tomorrow in the London Times, and London Times said, ‘A thousand people break through the House of Commons, break down the doors, two Bobbies are killed in order to stop the election of the Prime Minister.’ What would you say?”
Mitterrand died in 1996 after serving two seven-year terms as the president of France, from 1981 through 1995.

I will remain consistent on this!
I will remain consistent on this! If the community wants it there, they should leave it there. Personally I don’t want to forget what the slave owning, confederate; Democrats did in 1860 but I don’t want to honor it, so those related statues should go in a museum. It should be put to a vote on a ballot or by a council? Now actually remains of people, headstones can we leave those alone?
Are we allowed to remove statues because of nudity? Or violence? Or would that be considered art? I somewhat understand removing Christopher Columbus statues but there are cities and areas named after him, should we try and change them? Should we vandalize people named Christopher? And George Washington I will never understand.

“Fact-Checks” from the left are amazing!
“Fact-Checks” from the left are amazing! If it’s something negative about the left it’s “they said they didn’t do it, we couldn’t find any proof, so it’s “mostly false””, but when checking the police “even though they deny it, there is no proof that they didn’t do it so it must be “mostly true””.
Why did we completely believed the “private autopsy” the family got and no the official one form the Medical Examiners? Do people not have faith in our institutions? Was Chauvin allowed to have his own “private autopsy” completed and then believed?
The race card is played over and over again in this. Holding someone at gun point only gets you 5 years in prison? Apparently when “Big Floyd” got out or prison, in 2013, he turned his life around, was involved in church and served as a mentor….then why did he have so many narcotics in his system and why was his tolerance for these drugs so high? Ahhh probably just unlucky, the only time he ever had drugs in his system was also the only time he interacted with cops.
Direct Quotes:
As cities worldwide erupted in protests over the death of George Floyd — a Black man who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for about nine minutes in Minneapolis
No one thinks that he should have died in his arrest, but what I find despicable to be is that everyone is pretending that this man lived a heroic lifestyle when he didn't. …I refuse to accept the narrative that this person is a martyr or should be lifted up in the black community. ...He has a rap sheet that is long, that is dangerous. He is an example of a violent criminal his entire life — up until the very last moment."
The claims in this meme are a mixture of true and false, as we'll document below. In brief, the alleged crimes and time periods are mostly accurate, with the caveat that Floyd was convicted of theft in 1998, not armed robbery.
Not all the crimes resulted in prison time, but rather jail sentences; no evidence suggests a woman involved in the 2007 charge was pregnant; it's an exaggeration of toxicology results to claim Floyd "was high on meth" when he was choked by a cop, and there's no proof that Floyd was "getting ready to drive a car" before his fatal encounter with police other than the fact that officers say they approached him as he sat in the driver's seat of a vehicle.
According to court records in Harris County, which encompasses Floyd's hometown of Houston, authorities arrested him on nine separate occasions between 1997 and 2007, mostly on drug and theft charges that resulted in months-long jail sentences.
As to the details of Floyd's arrests, the first occurred on Aug. 2, 1997, when he was almost 23 years old. According to prosecutors, police in that case caught him delivering less than one gram of cocaine to someone else, so they sentenced him to about six months in jail. Then, the following year, authorities arrested and charged Floyd with theft on two separate occasions (on Sept. 25, 1998, and Dec. 9, 1998), sentencing him to a total of 10 months and 10 days in jail.
Then, about three years later (on Aug. 29, 2001), Floyd was sentenced to 15 days in jail for "failure to identify to a police officer," court documents say. In other words, he allegedly didn't give his name, address or birth date to a cop who was arresting him for reasons that are unknown (the court records don't say why police were questioning him in the first place) and requesting that personal information.
Between 2002 and 2005, police arrested and charged Floyd for another four crimes: for having less than one gram of cocaine on him (on Oct. 29, 2002); for criminal trespassing (on Jan. 3, 2003); for intending to give less than one gram of cocaine to someone else (on Feb. 6, 2004); and for again having less than one gram of cocaine in his possession (on Dec. 15, 2005). He was sentenced to about 30 months in jail, total, for those crimes.
Lastly, in 2007, authorities arrested and charged Floyd with his most serious crime: aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.
He pleaded guilty in 2009 and was sentenced to five years in prison. He was paroled in January 2013, when he was almost 40 years old.
Two days later, the county released a statement that attributed Floyd's cause of death to "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression" —which essentially means he died because his heart and lungs stopped while he was being restrained by police. That announcement came just hours after Floyd's family released findings of a separate, private autopsy that determined Floyd had indeed died from a combination of Chauvin's knee on his neck and pressure on his back from the other officers.
According to the county's postmortem toxicology screening, which is summarized below and was performed one day after Floyd's death, he was intoxicated with fentanyl and had recently used methamphetamines (as well as other substances)
More Specifically, Floyd tested positive for 11 ng/mL of fentanyl — which is a synthetic opioid pain reliever — and 19 ng/mL of methamphetamine, or meth, though it's unclear by what method the intoxicants got into his bloodstream or for what reasons.
But more complex is proving whether "he was high" at the time of his fatal encounter with police. While everyone's reaction to and tolerance for such drugs varies, and the effects of mixing drugs can be totally unpredictable
Also, Hennepin County medical examiners stated Floyd's blood levels made it seem like he had "recently" used meth in the past, not that he was peaking on a high from it, and the county investigators did not list the drugs as Floyd's cause of death, but rather as "significant conditions" that influenced how he died.
In January 2013, after Floyd was paroled for the aggravated robbery, people who knew him said he returned to Houston's Third Ward "with his head on right." He organized events with local pastors, served as a mentor for people living in his public housing complex, and was affectionately called "Big Floyd" or "the O.G." (original gangster) as a title of respect for someone who'd learned from his experiences. Then in 2014, Floyd, a father of five, decided to move to Minneapolis to find a new job and start a new chapter.

Direct Quotes:
The three US soldiers killed in the drone attack on a US military outpost in Jordan were identified Monday
More than 40 were injured in the attack, according to Singh, a number that could possibly increase. The drone hit a housing facility on the base where many service members were asleep in the early morning hours, leading to the high number of casualties, she said.
Singh said Monday that eight personnel who were medically evacuated were taken to Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center. Three of those service members will be transported to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center for follow-on care and the other five are expected to return to duty after being assessed for mild traumatic brain injuries.
The drone approached the US military outpost, Tower 22, around the same time an American drone was returning to the base, which led to uncertainty over whether it was hostile and caused a delay to the US response
The enemy drone followed the American drone as it approached, but it is not clear whether the enemy drone intentionally followed the American one or if it was a coincidence, one of the officials said. The enemy drone also flew low, which may have allowed it to evade the base’s air defenses, officials said. US officials are also still assessing the drone’s point of origin.
The attack on Sunday marked a significant escalation after roughly 165 attacks on US and coalition forces since October 17
While Iran-backed militia groups have launched continuous attacks on US and coalition forces in Iraq and Syria — leading to one serious injury and dozens of others that officials have described as fairly minor — the US has also been taking action against the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen for their attacks on commercial shipping.

These are the same people who have lied, tried to hide and ignored the severe cognitive decline of Joe Biden.
These are the same people who have lied, tried to hide and ignored the severe cognitive decline of Joe Biden. CNN consistently omits Joe Biden gaffs while placing this one front and center.
These were the same people that wanted Trump to take a cognitive test while in office because they were so scared he had the nuclear codes but don’t worry about Joe Biden’s tremors accidently pushing the button. Then he takes the cognitive test, does well and they dismissed it.
Direct Quotes:
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Saturday questioned Donald Trump’s mental fitness after he appeared to confuse her with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi when talking about the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
Her comments come after Trump said at a campaign rally in New Hampshire, “By the way, they never report the crowd on January 6. You know, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley … did you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it? All of it, because of lots of things, like Nikki Haley is in charge of security, we offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, national guards, whatever they want. They turned it down.” Later Saturday, Trump boasted about his cognitive abilities, saying, “A few months ago I took a cognitive test my doctor gave me … and I aced it.”
A senior Trump campaign adviser, Chris LaCivita, posted on X Saturday, “Nancy ….Nikki ….its a distinction without a difference.”

They should be “housed where THEY will feel the safeties”.
They should be “housed where THEY will feel the safeties”. While this article was being written 265 people housed in male prisons were trying to be transferred to female prisons and ONLY 7 people were trying to be transferred form a female prison to a male prison.
A major omission from this story is how biological men being incarcerated in all women’s prison has affected cis-women. There are unplanned pregnancies and they are now passing out condoms in all female prisons. The article claims there is limited data on what would happen if trans-men were incarcerated with actual men.
CNN helps make an argument that I’ve been making for years, gender dysphoria is a mental illness and should be treated as such. Suicide is sky high in that community, the majority drop out of school, a lot work in a sex trade and this article stats transgender people are “incarcerated at significantly higher rates than other groups”.
I need to see the “Walking While Trans” laws? This article talks a lot of Trans individuals being incarcerated because of “who they are” but then goes on to admit to having drug/alcohol problems and sex work. One individual claims to be put in a California jail for a non-violent drug charge. In California? Do you know how hard that would be? You have to be a habitual offender or dealing in large quantities for a non-violent drug charge puts you behind bars.
Heng-Lehtinen, “what is a women”? Heng-Lehtinen claims there are criteria for determining if “someone really is transgender”. The article then claims that “biological sex” is a controversial term and does not have one standard set of medical criteria.
Direct Quotes:
As recently as last year, the vast majority of incarcerated trans people in America are still housed in facilities based on the sex they were assigned at birth, according to a 2020 investigation by NBC News.
Activists say not much has changed. Now, they are working to change policies on both the federal and state level to allow trans prisoners to decide for themselves where they would feel safest being housed – or at least have their voice heard, even if prisons or independent decision-making boards still get to make the final call.
A 2007 study from the University of California, Irvine, found that incarcerated transgender people were 13 times more likely to be sexually assaulted than a random sample of incarcerated men. Fifty-nine percent of transgender prisoners reported having been sexually assaulted within a California correctional facility compared to just 4.4% of the incarcerated population as a whole.
In 1994, the US Supreme Court ruled on Eighth Amendment grounds that failing to protect trans people in custody is unconstitutional because it qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.
Activists like Dee Farmer are still fighting to institute national and state-level policies that would require a facility to house transgender, nonbinary or intersex people in the facilities where they feel safest, which would often mean according to their gender identity.
Transgender people are disproportionately impacted by the criminal justice system to begin with, incarcerated at significantly higher rates than other groups.
According to the NTCE’s last national US Transgender Survey conducted in 2015, the rate of incarceration for transgender people was double that of the nation-wide rate of incarceration, and about 10 times higher for Black transgender women.
In many states, being transgender in public can lead to an arrest under so-called “Walking While Trans” laws: anti-loitering codes officially used to target sex workers, which in practice target primarily trans women of color regardless of whether they are sex workers, advocates say.
“We are told to get undressed in front of many men” including both corrections officers and other male prisoners, Salcedo describes, which “automatically creates this sense of fear for many of us and this sense… that it’s ok to sexually harass us and oftentimes sexually assault us.”
Once they are incarcerated, trans people are at significantly higher risk of violence. Trans prisoners are over nine times more likely than the prison average to be assaulted or abused by fellow prisoners, and over five times more likely to be assaulted or abused by facility staff, according to a national survey conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality. According to the 2015 survey, within the year leading up to the survey, almost a quarter of transgender prisoners reported being physically assaulted by other people in custody or staff.
Opponents of housing people in custody according to gender identity argue that men could falsely claim to be transgender so they are housed with women they can then assault.
There is no evidence to support that this happens, while there is overwhelming evidence that trans women in men’s prisons are being sexually assaulted at exponentially higher rates than the general incarcerated population.
“There is no evidence whatsoever to support this argument of false claims. It simply doesn’t happen,” Heng-Lehtinen says. “There are criteria for determining that someone really is transgender… It’s not as simple as simply declaring that you are transgender.”
There is limited data available on whether incarcerated transgender women in women’s facilities are at a lower rate of sexual assault because so few transgender women are currently being incarcerated in women’s facilities. However, formerly incarcerated trans women speaking to CNN shared that they would feel more comfortable being strip searched by guards who are women – standard practice in women’s facilities – and would feel safer with cellmates who are women.
It required officials “use biological sex as the initial determination” for housing placement, but it did not define the term “biological sex” – a controversial term for which there is not one standard set of medical criteria.
“More than that, it’s important that we understand the reasons why trans people are incarcerated: we are criminalized because of who we are. An alternative to that is to provide trans people with the resources and support that we need, rather than… having to resort to survival which gets us put in prison.”
Individual states are also working on legislation requiring their state corrections facilities to house transgender people in the place they feel safest. That includes SB 132 in California, which Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law in September of 2020, effective January 1. This law requires transgender, non-binary and intersex prisoners to be housed in “a correctional facility designated for men or women based on the individual’s preference,” according to the bill text. It also requires all carceral staff to address prisoners by their correct gender pronouns and to search prisoners in a way consistent with their gender identity.
According to CDCR, out of 1,277 incarcerated individuals that identify as transgender, non-binary or intersex, 272 have requested gender-based housing transfer requests. 265 are from people being housed at male institutions requesting to be transferred to female institutions and seven are from people being housed at female institutions requesting transfer to a male facility.

Read this article to put 9/11 in perspective for you again.
Read this article to put 9/11 in perspective for you again. Following 2001 there were hundreds of people identified every year, now it’s slowed to less than 1 a year. A wide open boarder with no idea who is coming across, could a similar event happen?
The remains at the Twin Towers were so damaged and degraded, from the destruction and then being baked in hot debris for weeks, that 20 years later they still have not identified everyone. If you don’t think it can happen again you are ignorant. We need to elect leaders that will put American first, close the boarder and keep us safe.
Direct Quotes
For 20 years, the medical examiner’s office has quietly conducted the largest missing persons investigation ever undertaken in the nation — testing and retesting the 22,000 body parts painstakingly recovered from wreckage after the attacks. Scientists are still testing the vast inventory of unidentified remains for a genetic connection to the 1,106 victims — roughly 40 percent of the ground zero death toll — who are still without a match so that their families can reclaim the remains for a proper burial.
They were the first positive identifications since 2019. Victim identifications come less than once a year today, a far cry from the years immediately following 2001, when there were hundreds of identifications each year.Many remains recovered at ground zero had damaged and degraded in the fiery rubble for weeks or longer and therefore had scant amounts of DNA to extract.
the fragments are first scraped clean with a razor and then scoured with a toothbrush and various detergents. Since it is difficult to extract DNA from an intact bone, the fragment is then crushed into as fine a powder as possible.
Lab workers were still using a mortar and pestle to manually crush bone fragments when the project first began in 2001, he said, but have since automated the process through ball bearings and ultrasonic vibration. Fragments are put in a glass tube and frozen with the help of liquid nitrogen in a “bone mill” machine that shakes it vigorously.
The prospect of positively identifying every last victim is impossible, Mr. Desire said.
Some victims may never be identified because they fully incinerated, and the families of nearly 100 victims declined to submit a sample or offered one with too little DNA for matching.

Let’s get educated on Israel’s leadership system.
https://soapboxie.com/world-politics/Israels-President-Prime-Minister
Let’s get educated on Israel’s leadership system. The Israeli president is very similar to the King or Queen of the UK. They are mainly ceremonial with just a little power. The executive power comes from their Prime Minster and is more comparable to the US president.
Direct Quotes
On June 2, 2021, the Israeli Knesset (Israel’s 120-seat unicameral legislature) elected Isaac Herzog as their nation’s tenth president. President Herzog will serve one seven-year term—he cannot be reelected, a recent change in their system, which previously allowed for two five-year terms.
Like the king or queen of the United Kingdom, the president’s role is largely a ceremonial one, like his appointment of the prime minister and of judges. He signs the laws passed by the Knesset (except those pertaining to his own powers).
Israel's true executive power resides with the prime minister
When Israel is discussed in the media, it's usually Netanyahu's name that you hear in the news and whose face you often see on television. He is the face of the country when it comes to conducting foreign policy with other government leaders around the world. It is the Israeli prime minister—not Israel’s president— that will travel to the United States to meet with the U.S. president.
Israel must hold a national election at least every four years (but elections can be called earlier). As mentioned above, the president will choose a party leader that can form a coalition government. It will usually be the party that got the most votes in the election, but not always.

Congressional Democrats wore stoles made of Kente cloth during a moment of silence for George Floyd, drawing criticism from observers who felt they made the traditional African textile into a political prop.
About two dozen Democratic lawmakers, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, knelt for eight minutes and 46 seconds at the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall as a tribute to Floyd on Monday. Most of them were seen wearing Kente cloths during the moment of silence as well as during a subsequent news conference.
“What if they, like, just passed some laws instead of dressing up like a Wakandan chess set?” screenwriter Eric Haywood tweeted.
The legislation includes a ban on chokeholds and a creation of a National Police Misconduct Registry. It also incentivizes states and localities to mandate racial bias training and teach officers about their “duty to intervene,” among other things.

The Parks and Recreation Deputy Superintendent of Seattle was attempting to address a “playground shortage” in the Denny Blaine neighborhood.
The Parks and Recreation Deputy Superintendent of Seattle was attempting to address a “playground shortage” in the Denny Blaine neighborhood. The park was planned, private funding was found for the park but the project faced backlash and was canceled because of its orientation to a nude, “queer haven”, beach.
I thought the LGBTQ community cared about our kids and wanted to show them that it’s ok to be different and “not all boys are blue”? They claim to want to impart all of this wisdom unto others, unless it interferes with their ability to carry out their promiscuous activities. This is a culture that worships themselves.
Direct Quotes:
Seattle has canceled a proposed plan to build a playground at a nude beach following backlash from the city’s LGBTQ+ community.
As The Seattle Times reported, funding for the proposed $550,000 project to build a children’s playground at Denny Blaine Park, a grassy lawn overlooking a secluded beach on Lake Washington, came from an anonymous donor. At a community meeting earlier this month, Seattle Parks and Recreation Deputy Superintendent Andy Sheffer said that the project would address a lack of playgrounds in the neighborhood without using public funds.
But opponents countered that a playground would jeopardize the beach’s status as a queer haven
“If you have a person who’s not in the community showing up with their kids, and there are people around who are naked, they’re probably going to call the cops,” Kusold continued. “This is kind of the weaponization of children to try to exclude or harm the queer community.
spokesperson Rachel Schulkin said in a December 8 statement. “While this area of our city still lacks accessible play equipment for kids and families
