If your boss required you to announce publicly that 2 + 2 = 5 and act like you sincerely believed it‚ would you comply or be fired? Unfortunately‚ tens of thousands of federal employees are being put to a similar test by the Biden administration. But instead of being required to deny basic math‚ they’re being forced to deny basic biology under radical “gender identity” policies.  Last March 31‚ on International Transgender Day of Visibility‚ the U.S. Office of Personnel Management ordered federal agencies to prohibit the intentional use of “incorrect” pronouns in the workplace because it could contribute to an “unlawful hostile work environment.” First to comply were the Department of Health and Human Services‚ the State Department‚ and U.S. Customs and Border Protection)‚ all of which recently issued workplace pronoun mandates.  Not surprisingly‚ the Biden administration’s LGBT advocate-in-chief‚ Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine‚ announced the policy for HHS. Although Levine is a biological male (and for decades went by Richard)‚ HHS employees are prohibited from using anything other than “she” when speaking of Levine and all other trans-identifying biological males who work there.  Further‚ because the policy covers “gender nonconforming‚” “agender‚” “gender fluid” or “nonbinary” identifications‚ biologically male employees may retain male names and dress and appear like a man on any given day and still demand to be addressed as she‚ xir‚ or they.  Not to be outdone‚ Customs and Border Protection issued a memo for Border Patrol agents prohibiting them from addressing persons they catch illegally crossing the border as “Mr.‚ Mrs.‚ Ms.‚ Sir [or] Ma’am” until they ask‚ “Can you please confirm your pronouns or gender identity?” and then adopt whatever the migrant says.   To drive the point home‚ the CPB memo states that agents may not offer “personal opinions” on these matters or “refer to being LGBTQI+ as a ‘choice’ or ‘lifestyle.’” But shutting up about one’s beliefs‚ as bad as that is‚ isn’t actually an option because pronoun use is part of life and practically unavoidable. There will be no hiding or laying low on this one; everyone will be found out eventually.  Perhaps most offensive of all‚ under Office of Personnel Management guidance‚ all federal facilities with showers and changing rooms now must be opened to people of the opposite sex based on their say-so. Surely many women who enjoy working out at the office gym will object to seeing grown men getting naked in front of them in the lockerrooms.   While the policy (at least as implemented by HHS) acknowledges that some people may “feel uncomfortable” with this certain eventuality‚ it clarifies that it is objecting biological women who must leave the facilities in this situation‚ not the other way around.   There was a time when a boss allowing men to undress in front of female employees was considered 100% automatic sexual harassment. But now the federal government is treating it more like a job requirement and will label you a bigot if you object.  Federal employees are not defenseless. They should file lawsuits seeking to block enforcement of these illegal policies under the First Amendment’s free speech clause and Title VII‚ at the very least. And those who believe that sexual human embodiment is part of God’s design also shoud file claims under the First Amensment’s free exercise clause and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act‚ requesting religious accommodation.  Totalitarians throughout history have demanded that the people they subjugate repeat sanctioned lies as a way to secure their power. If those in power can make you say with your own lips that men are women‚ or neither‚ or both‚ and back again‚ they can make you say and do anything‚ including drafting you into the pronoun police to spy and inform on your coworkers.  Eighty years ago‚ the Supreme Court said: “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation‚ it is that no official‚ high or petty‚ can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics‚ nationalism‚ religion‚ or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.”   Back then the issue was whether government schools could require students to pledge allegiance to the American flag‚ while today the question is whether the Biden administration can force Americans to pledge allegiance to the rainbow flag.  The answer to that question should be no. But as always‚ our liberties become effective only when people have the courage to stand up for the truth and their right to remain free‚ even if it comes at a cost.  This commentary originally was published by Fox News Have an opinion about this article?

Real Clear Politics co-founder Tom Bevan took to Twitter to express amazement at the first segment of All In with Chris Hayes on Thursday night: Left-wing cable TV Host/Administration lackey standing in front of a graphic of Dark Brandon signs with the caption "The Greatest Economy" complains of "constant propaganda" by the previous president on the economy. You just can't make this s--t up. MSNBC already gave Jen Psaki one of Chris's five weeknights‚ so maybe he's trying to save his spot at 8 pm by suggesting he can do a better job than Team Biden in gushing over how well "Dark Brandon" is performing.  The host showed a clip of Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto and a guest sounding "so psyched" at the Biden economy. Hayes said‚ “remember the reason the stock market went up yesterday's because the actual economy looks like it's doing so well.” Hayes complained Biden's messaging machine just isn't working as well as MSNBC would:  The Biden White House didn't ignore all this good news. But they didn't take that much of a victory lap either. I mean‚ they sent out a few tweets‚ highlighting the decrease in gas prices and inflation‚ which are important and good. During the daily briefing‚ press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre touted the president’s work to quote‚ grow our economy from the middle out. They sent out Jared Bernstein‚ chair of the council of economic advisers out to do the rounds on TV. All of that is good. They should‚ right? Just take a second right now to consider what the alternate reality would be like in this moment‚ after this turbulence under a Donald Trump presidency. My strong belief is that part of the reason that people's perception‚ the economy was good in the Trump era‚ that Trump would be good at managing the economy‚ is that he constantly‚ unceasingly sledgehammered us over the head with propaganda about it day after day after day. Then he showed a clip package of Trump boasting‚ and then made a big point of how Trump was still bragging about the economy as the Covid pandemic and lockdown but a huge crimp in the economy.  He was still pushing that "economic propaganda" during a "mass-death event." MSNBC did not note about 400‚000 died from Covid under Trump -- and then another 713‚000-plus have died under Biden. But what about Trump's first three years‚ hmm? Those are the years where "people's perception" resides. And Trump may have boasted‚ but the anti-Trump networks buried the good news. In our book Unmasked‚ Brent Bozell and I noted reports on the stock market in a chapter titled "Good News Is No News": Thirty-one Dow records were set between January 1‚ 2017 and January 26‚ 2018. Those records included hitting 21‚000‚ then 22‚000‚ then 23‚000‚ then 24‚000‚ then 25‚000‚ and finally 26‚000. Overall in 2017‚ the Dow Jones average rose more than 25 percent. So the networks routinely ignored it.  Ah‚ but they found it newsworthy when the market went down! on May 7‚ 2017‚ NBC's Lester Holt open the show warning‚ "Market plunge! Jitters on Wall Street! Is the so-called Trump Bump over?" He brought on MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle to say that the good economy and Trump's agenda were kaput.  This is why it's funny that Chris Hayes would complain about sledgehammered with unceasing propaganda. Like MSNBC didn't do that in an opposing direction. Like all of their constant yammering about Trump's non-existent collusion with the Russians to get elected.  Hayes concluded that Biden had to deal with "crisis from Day One‚" while Trump was allowed "to coast" for three years. Is that what the media allowed him to do from 2017 to 2019? They all just laid down for him and let him "coast"?

The family lost all of their belongings in the tragic fire."It's been three days of tortures … I miss him so much‚ and I am dying of sadness‚" the boy's mother said."We lost all the material things … The most difficult thing is that we can't recover what hurts us the most‚" another family member said.Following the tragedy‚ the family set up a GoFundMe page meant to help raise money for the funeral costs.

Though the general shape of previously reported Unidentified Aerial Phenomena are triangular‚ circular‚ or even in the shape of a "Tic Tac‚" a recent report will have the U.S. government adding yet another shape to the list.A photographer from Chicago captured a shot of a spooky object that was apparently changing colors while it was sitting stationary in the sky‚ according to the Daily Mail. The report noted that depending on who is looking at the phenomena‚ it could look like an alien's face‚ an indigenous totem‚ or even Rafiki‚ the monkey from "The Lion King." — (@) Experts are still not clear as to what the phenomena actually is‚ but they agreed that it is "beautiful and spectacular." Speculation has swirled in the UFO world as to what it could be‚ but it appears scientists are taking a more sober approach to the event‚ according to MiTech News.The photo was apparently taken by Dietrich Zeigler‚ a photographer based in Chicago‚ who shared his findings with the Daily Mail. "It was around evening just as the sun dipped below the horizon‚' Zeigler said‚ adding that "I noticed some colorful shimmering and took out my 70-200 MM lens and shot this."Zeigler went on to say that the "object's appearance was striking‚ with a palette of purple‚ gold‚ and green." But the photographer did not seem to offer a suggestion as to what the object actually was. "It seemed to be changing colors‚ but the shape remained the same which looks like a mask. After quickly heading indoors to examine the photos‚ I was unable to locate it in the sky again."Zeigler went on to say that it "seemed as stationary as a star" to the naked eye‚ though there are differences in the photos captured‚ which could mean that the object was moving slowly through the sky. "I was quite startled upon reviewing the photos on a larger screen‚" Zeigler said‚ noting that "[e]ven now‚ I frequently gaze at the sky‚ both during the day and at night‚ hoping to witness something as remarkable.""Yet‚ nothing similar has crossed my view since that intriguing evening."The report noted that Nick Pope — who has garnered a name for himself in UAP circles and previously served within the UK's Ministry of Defense — said that the image was "beautiful‚" but he was not able to readily identify the object. "Often‚ when looking at UAP images‚ we're not necessarily seeing an accurate picture of the object." Pope said."Distortions can occur for example when an object is photographed through glass‚ or when zooming-in‚ or as a result of various anomalies and light effects relating to the camera."Like Blaze News?

Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee has recently been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2003 while in a helicopter that was traveling from San Diego to Los Angles.The woman stated that she was a friend of the pilot of the helicopter‚ and that he had invited her to go on a trip. The details of the case were included in court documents obtained by TMZ. However‚ once she arrived on the tarmac‚ she realized that Tommy Lee — legendary drummer of Motley Crue — was already on the helicopter. It is not immediately clear if the woman had known Lee before stepping onto the helicopter with him.

Lee allegedly penetrated the woman with his fingers and groped her breasts‚ according to the report.Lee allegedly pulled his pants down and attempted to force the woman's head into his groin‚ but she eventually wrestled free. After the helicopter landed in Los Angeles‚ Lee apparently hugged her and departed. The woman and pilot flew back to San Diego following the incident.
