Under Governor Tim Walz, Minnesota funds an organization that hosts no-parents-allowed wilderness excursions where children as young as 11 can discuss “queerness” with an adult who identifies as transgender. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources gave $10,500 to Clean River Partners, which sponsors the “Queer Unity, Environmental Education, and Recreation for Youth” program. Led by Heron Mahr, a self-described “trans non-binary naturalist, youth educator, and community engagement professional” who uses “they/them” pronouns, the group convenes monthly “to offer a safe space for young individuals in Northfield and Faribault to connect, learn outdoor skills, and explore the intersection of queerness and nature,” an Instagram post advertising the program states. According to Mahr, parents asked to “not attend the events, so participants have the chance to build their independence outdoors. Mahr notes that there will be “ample adult supervision, including myself, a Carleton student who is supporting the program, and occasional guest instructors.” The student Mahr is referencing is Vio Csedrik, a board member of a “student-run drag organization” at Carleton College. Mahr also said that the program is “designed specifically for queer and questioning middle and high school youth, and we kindly ask that you only attend if you belong to one of those groups.” When asked by The Daily Wire, however, the organization’s executive director Jennifer Tonko said that “parents aren’t banned from attending the program, but it is meant to be a space for youth and it’s designed as such.” Tonko also stated that the program intends to “promote a sense of safety and belonging in the outdoors for queer and questioning youth,” with discussion topics including “trail navigation, plant identification, and paddling skills.” Walz has been at the forefront of the Harris campaign’s effort to mobilize voters who identify as LGBT, recently speaking at an event hosted by an organization that promotes child transgenderism. The Daily Wire uncovered that parents of children who identify as trans recently spoke out in support of the Harris-Walz ticket on a “Trans Families for Harris” Zoom call, with the organizer behind the event, a man who identifies as a woman, celebrating Walz as “a beacon of LGBTQ rights for decades.” Both Walz and his wife, Gwen, promoted LGBT identification while they were high school teachers. Tim Walz advised his high school’s Gay-Straight Alliance Club, and Gwen Walz discussed sexual orientation with students on the first day of school. When asked why the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources decided to fund the program, an agency spokeswoman for the agency told The Daily Wire that the organization “received funding for its QUEERY nature club as part of our No Child Left Inside (NCLI) competitive grant program” and added that “it is our understanding that parents can participate in the program.” The spokeswoman went on to say that the Department of Natural Resources “funded this project because it scored highly on a rubric-based assessment that took into account program focus, design, approach, and evaluation; feasibility; and financial need and match.” Earlier this month, The Daily Wire reported that the federal government is set to grant $50,000 to an Oregon-based organization that hosts similar events outdoor events. The recipient organization, called the Northwest Youth Corps, will use the taxpayer funding in part to promote “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer inclusion.” National Geographic celebrated the program, stating that “having the support of an organization that provides safe spaces and opportunities for queer youth is essential for queer youth, especially during a time when transgender youth care is banned in numerous states and legislation transgender youth from participating in sports.”

The hosts of ABC’s “The View” worked overtime on Thursday to recast Vice President Kamala Harris‘ latest interview — with Fox News anchor Bret Baier — as a win for Democrats. Their strategy — which mirrored the strategy adopted by a number of pro-Harris accounts on X — was to attack Baier, suggesting that he was unfair and rude to the Democratic presidential nominee and arguing that he only pushed back on her because she’s a woman. Sunny Hostin was first to lodge her complaint, saying, “He is known for doing the bidding of Fox News, but he ends his show every night as ‘fair, balanced and unafraid.’ Well, that was not fair and balanced.” WATCH: Faux conservative clown Alyssa Farah Griffin whines that Baier asked "questions Fox News viewers want answers to" and lies about the clip of Trump he played. Hostin calls it "misinformation."They also decry that Baier not letting their girl filibuster/lie the entire interview. pic.twitter.com/7z30SjD4tz — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) October 17, 2024 Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin conceded that Baier was asking questions that a number of Americans would like to see answered — and by Harris in particular — but her cohost quickly stepped on her point and went right back to complaining about Baier. Sara Haines claimed that Harris — who responded to each question by rambling until she found a good point on which to pivot and attack former President Donald Trump — had “held her own” and argued that Baier’s attempts to keep Harris on track amounted to sexism. “The constant jumping in, I couldn’t help but feel it’s because she’s a woman,” she said. WATCH: Staunchly racist Sunny Hostin lashed out at Dana Perino, suggesting she was racist because she criticized Harris's interview performance: "Perino offered this very predictable assessment…Harris came in hot and then got angrier…The angry black woman trope." pic.twitter.com/xD6dVpZ9mo — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) October 17, 2024 Hostin lashed out at “America’s Newsroom” anchor Dana Perino — who conceded that Harris may have landed at least a few shots on Trump during the interview — and complained that her analysis was ultimately racist. “Perino offered this very predictable assessment … Harris came in hot and then got angrier. … The angry black woman trope,” Hostin complained. The hosts of “The View” were not alone in their complaints about Baier, although they were primarily joined by far-Left politicians and media personalities like former Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO). “I figured @BretBaier would be tough. I didn’t think he would be downright rude and disrespectful. The VP did great. She is strong. He is scared,” McCaskill said. I figured @BretBaier would be tough.

A decade ago if you asked a man the manliest thing he could smell like, no doubt he would say gunpowder and whiskey with a hint of cigar. But a close second would be Axe deodorant, a popular brand known for marketing to men with hilariously accurate ad campaigns.  These over-the-top ads were filled with rugged men, gorgeous women, and the underlying message that smelling good was a component of true masculinity. However, like most other things in life, Axe has since been neutered and reborn with weaker, lamer messaging in service of the woke overlords who rule society.  Take this line from Axe’s website for example. “What do we mean by awesome? Well, we create relevant and unexpected fragrances that rewrite the rules of traditional masculine scents.”  This type of talk isn’t anything new from Axe. In 2017, the brand launched the “Is It OK for Guys?” promo as part of Axe’s “Find Your Magic” campaign. The overall messaging encouraged men to forgo macho stereotypes and take on a more enlightened version of masculinity instead. “What we wanted to do is show … that there is this habit of guys going online in the privacy of their own home asking all these questions,” Rik Strubel, then-global vice president for Axe, said of the campaign. Their mission was to “redefine what it means to be a man.” Stubel said in another statement, “As a global lifestyle brand, we see it as our responsibility to use our platform and reach to help drive positive change and champion good,” Strubel said. “In fact, consumers today actually demand that, and as society changes, we’re committed to leading a celebration of a more modern and inclusive view of masculinity. We realize this means tackling very tough issues, including toxic masculinity. “By championing individuality, self-acceptance, and self-expression,” he continued, “we want to encourage guys to be what they want, dress how they want, love who they want and live more freely … If we can shift this paradigm, we can help break the cycle of toxic masculinity and create a healthier, more equal world for both men and women.” Apparently, Axe thinks guys want a deodorant that overhauls traditional masculinity. That just stinks.  This should come as no surprise since Axe falls under the Unilever umbrella, the leftist company that sells you Dove — the wokest wash around. Former CEO Alan Jope said in 2021, “The two biggest threats that the world currently faces are climate change and social inequality. The past year has undoubtedly widened the social divide, and decisive and collective action is needed to build a society that helps to improve livelihoods, embraces diversity, nurtures talent, and offers opportunities for everyone.” But never fear, men of good hygiene. At Jeremy’s, we know you want something that emphasizes your manliness, not something that downplays it.  And we’re happy to unveil a new deodorant scent made for men who like to smell fresh and hate giving their money away to woke corporations who hate their values. Jeremy’s Deodorant is made so you can stay fresh while combating the wokeness all day long. Check out bold and fresh fragrances of Jeremy’s Aluminum-Free Natural Deodorant. Most importantly, the ALL NEW Citrus & Sandalwood scent with Enhanced Odor Control. It’s subtle, fresh, and masculine, unlike the other brands that have sold their souls in service to the woke agenda. Stop wasting your hard-earned money on Axe and their woke pandering. In another example of their adoption of leftism, in 2021, Axe introduced an ad spot called “The Walk.” In it, the main character spritzed himself with Axe and walked out the door. Along his journey, he attracted an array of men, women, and even a dog with his scent.  This promo specifically targeted Gen Z and their “anything goes” mentality in an effort to “resonate with this generation of men who are notoriously open-minded when it comes to attraction,” according to Axe’s press release. But what about men who just want to smell manly and attract beautiful women? What about men who don’t want their deodorant brand to redefine masculinity?  For them, the answer is clear: it’s Jeremy’s all the way. Jeremy’s Razors shares common ownership with The Daily Wire. 

Wisconsin Senate candidate Eric Hovde said that Vice President Kamala Harris is skipping Thursday’s Al Smith dinner in New York City because her campaign is in “panic mode” and wants to hide her from public scrutiny.  Hovde told The Daily Wire that Harris was skipping the annual Catholic fundraiser, which traditionally features presidential candidates in election years, because they were trying to keep her out of the public eye. “As we know she has a hard time stringing sentences together if she’s on the fly,” Hovde told The Daily Wire. “Unless she has teleprompters telling her what to say, she’s just not good.” Hovde added that Harris’s limited interactions with the public mirrored President Joe Biden’s approach during the 2020 campaign.  “We’ve never seen a presidential candidate ever restrict themselves like this, with one exception,” he said. “That was 2020, during the COVID lockdowns, and they ran Joe Biden from the basement because they knew he wasn’t very good — because he probably had onsets of dementia.” Without lockdowns as an excuse to keep Harris out of the public eye, Hovde says her campaign was “doing everything in their power to hide her.” Harris will give a video message to attendees of the Al Smith Dinner, which typically features candidates taking light jabs at each other. Former President Donald Trump, who is attending the dinner, criticized Harris for skipping the event.  “It’s sad, but not surprising, that Kamala has decided not to attend,” Trump said in September. “I don’t know what she has against our Catholic friends, but it must be a lot, because she certainly hasn’t been very nice to them, in fact, Catholics are literally being persecuted by this Administration.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Hovde is locked in a tight race with incumbent Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin as both Trump and Harris focus their efforts on the Badger State. A recent internal poll from the National Republican Senatorial Committee showed Hovde with a one point lead over Baldwin, whose internal polling also shows a close contest. Hovde told The Daily Wire that he has surged because of his focus on issues like the economy, inflation, and illegal immigration.  Baldwin and Hovde are set to meet for a debate Friday in Madison hosted by WMTV at 7:00 p.m. local time.

Donations for an Arkansas man named Aaron Spencer, 36, poured in online this week, after Spencer was arrested for killing 67-year-old Michael Fosler, whom Spencer found with his missing 14-year-old daughter. According to a Facebook post from Spencer’s wife, the family had a no-contact order out against Fosler for allegedly stalking their daughter over the summer. Back in July, Fosler was reportedly arrested by another agency for internet stalking of a child and sexual assault. “This man had a no contact order for stalking/graping (sic) our child,” Heather Spencer said in the Facebook post. “We absolutely called 911 during the entire event. We had no idea this man was in contact with our child again.” “He was looking at the rest of his pathetic life in jail, and our daughter was the only witness,” the post continued. “We 100% in the moment thought he had taken her to kill her.” Spencer, who’s been released since posting bond, was arrested on a preliminary charge of first-degree murder, which is a Class Y felony, and booked into Lonoke County Detention Center, Fox News reported this week. Defense lawyers told Fox they suspect Spencer will see his charges reduced based on the circumstances of the incident. When the public heard about Spencer’s arrest, more than $100,000 in donations reportedly poured in through a GoFundMe account for legal expenses. However, the platform reportedly pulled the fundraiser without explanation. “Our GoFundMe me was removed and people are being issued refunds,” Heather Spencer said. “If you donated I apologize I have no idea why this is happening.” A GiveSendGo account was then created for Spencer. Currently, the account is closed, but offers the following message: Words cannot express how deeply appreciative we are for the support coming in all over the world. We have reached far beyond our goal in less than a week. The rest of our fundraising will be done through Gun Owners of Arkansas and will be pinned across all socials. Update will follow soon. Please continue to share our story far and wide. Thank you and God bless you all. Gun Owners of Arkansas, a nonprofit, now has a fundraiser for Spencer, but it’s unclear how much has been raised. “After conducting research and reviewing the circumstances surrounding the incident involving Mr. Aaron Spencer, Gun Owners of Arkansas has concluded that he was justified in his actions under Arkansas Self Defense Law, despite being preliminarily charged with first-degree murder,” the group said. “We have mobilized our Defense Fund Account to support a fellow gun owner. ” Heather Spencer said online that her daughter is a “victim” and “prayers” are holding her family together. “At the end of the day, our daughter is a victim and we have a long road of recovery for everyone,” she wrote. “We are so thankful for all the calls, messages and prayers. Despite the legal stuff, our family has been through something we don’t wish on anyone. Please keep us in your prayers, if you can donate, great, but prayers are holding us together right now.”
