Hundreds of parents brought their children, as young as babies and toddlers, to wave rainbow flags, pose with a drag queen, and do LGBTQ-themed crafts at the “Kids’ Pride Parade and Street Fair” in Montgomery County, Maryland, on Sunday. “Pride is for everyone. That’s the whole point of Pride is to be inclusive of everybody,” a local Takoma Park mom of a 2-and-a-half-year-old child in a stroller told The Daily Signal. “So I think it’s for kids, adults, everybody.” Families marched in the Kids’ Pride Parade at 10 a.m., waving rainbow and transgender flags and signs with messages such as “Love is Love” and “Let Trans Kids Bloom” in honor of Pride Month. After the parade, families and their small children explored a number of pro-LGBTQ booths, purchased food from street vendors, and took photos with drag queen Tara Hoot.

(Photo: Elizabeth Troutman/The Daily Signal) At noon, kids began taking pictures with Tara Hoot, the drag queen in a huge pink wig and pink plaid jumpsuit whose day job is teaching at a D.C. school. Hoot told The Daily Signal she performs at a lot of “family-friendly” events. Drag queen Tara Hoot poses with a dad and two kids. (Photo: Elizabeth Troutman/The Daily Signal) “My type of drag is like Mr. Rogers in a dress,” Hoot said. “I do story time. I do bubbles. I do all sorts of fun things. I’ve been a teacher for 26 years, so why wouldn’t I be here?” A mom named Casey asked her young daughter to share with The Daily Signal “what the rainbow party is all about.” When the child said she didn’t know, the mom told The Daily Signal they were there to celebrate that “everyone’s different, and that’s awesome.” Kids and adults hold Pride flags at the Sunday parade.

Hosts ranged from the Temple Shalom in Chevy Chase—advertising its “Gender Expansive & Trans+ Chavurah” gathering for LGBTQ adults—to the office of “queer, non-binary psychotherapist” Mary Huber, who provides clients “gender affirming medical procedure letters.” “Many medical procedures, a part of gender affirming healthcare for many folx, require a letter from a mental health care provider,” Huber’s website says. “I offer this service to clients who are transitioning. As different procedures require different types of letters, please contact me to discuss your needs. Most letters can be completed after 1 session.” Her booth featured renderings of the “Gender Unicorn,” the “Gender Galaxy,” and the “Sexuality Galaxy.” Mary Huber’s booth displayed an image of the “Gender Galaxy.” (Photo: Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights) One printout at her booth explained the transgender activist view of the difference between sexual orientation, sex, gender expression, and gender identity. Another, titled “Pursuing Gender Congruence,” gives advice to gender-confused individuals about a path toward “gender affirmation,” starting with personal and social gender affirmation and escalating to medical and legal affirmation. A packed LGBTQ book tent sold a graphic guide to chest binding called “Breath: Journeys to Healthy Binding,” co-written by Maia Kobabe, author of pornographic LGBTQ novel “Gender Queer,” and Sarah Peitzmeier. Attendees could purchase a number of LGBTQ books. (Photo: Elizabeth Troutman/The Daily Signal) Other books for sale included: “Who’s Afraid of Gender,” which “confronts the attacks on “gender” that have become central to right-wing movements today,” according to Google Books; “Page Boy,” an autobiography detailing actor Ellen Page’s transition to Elliot; “I am Ace,” a handbook on being asexual; “Queerly Beloved,” the story of a gay baker fired from a Christian bakery; and an array of LGBTQ teen romance novels. Books for sale included “Rainbow Parenting,” “Love Makes a Family,” and “A Kids Book About Being Nonbinary.” (Photo: Elizabeth Troutman/The Daily Signal) Estelle, a mom who said her 11-year-old child came out as LGBTQ at age 8 or 9, told The Daily Signal her family was at the event to make her kids feel supported. “I think it’s really important for my queer kids to see like that the whole town rallies behind them and supports them,” she said. The Kids’ Pride Parade brought a large crowd to downtown Takoma Park, Maryland.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent an open letter to state and local officials urging the implementation of measures to stop the sale of raw milk. “For states that permit the sale of raw milk within their state, use regulatory authorities or implement other measures, as appropriate, to stop the sale of raw milk that may present a risk to consumers. This may include restricting the introduction of raw milk that may contain viable HPAI H5N1, for human or animal consumption, within a defined geographic area, or within your state. If HPAI H5N1 virus is identified within a herd, there is a risk that viable HPAI H5N1 virus could be present in raw milk from the herd, even when clinically ill cows are segregated,” the letter read. “While the introduction into interstate commerce of raw milk for human consumption is prohibited under the FDA’s authority, we know that a number of states permit the intrastate sale of raw milk for human consumption, with varying structures and requirements to these state programs,” the agency said. “Because of our concerns related to HPAI H5N1 virus in raw milk, we are providing the following recommendations for states as we continue to work together to address this novel issue,” it continued.

In an open letter to state and local officials, the agency urged more testing of herds that produce raw milk for sale and recommended that states use their regulatory powers to stop the sale of raw milk where dairy herds have tested positive. On Thursday, Minnesota became the 10th state to report an infected herd. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 82 U.S. herds have now tested positive for the H5N1 avian virus. “Only a total of 29 states allow for the sale of raw milk. Their focus is not on the retail level but only allow on farm sale,” RFD-TV stated. The agency also urged state and local officials to implement a surveillance testing program in dairy herds. “Implement a surveillance testing program in your state to identify the presence of HPAI H5N1 virus in dairy herds that might be engaged in producing raw milk for intrastate sale. For states that implement such a surveillance testing program, sharing data and testing results with their dairy regulatory partners (state, FDA, and USDA) will allow for coordinated management of this novel virus. Upon request, FDA will provide technical assistance and methodologies for sampling or testing,” the letter read. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) previously introduced legislation to prohibit the federal government from interfering with the “interstate traffic of raw milk products between states where distribution or sale of such products is already legal.” “I just reintroduced the Interstate Milk Freedom Act, HR 8374. This bill prevents the federal government from interfering with the interstate traffic of raw milk products between states where distribution or sale of such products is already legal,” Massie said last month.

Sisters Rodeo Association said the bull jumped an arena barrier, charged onto the rodeo grounds, and ran to holding pens, where livestock professionals contained it. The arena announcer immediately called for an emergency response, it said. “A rodeo bucking bull jumped a fence and ran through the rodeo grounds before being secured by our rodeo pickup men and arena staff by the back livestock pens,” Sisters Rodeo said in a statement.

Deputies transported one patient with non-life-threatening injuries to a hospital, and a deputy also sustained minor injuries when responding to the bull’s escape, Lt Jayson Janes told KTVZ on Sunday. Danielle Smithers was among the rodeo fans with her cellphone flashlight on as Party Bus was moving around the ring with two riders on horseback as the crowd sang and swayed to the music. “And about 30 seconds into it I stopped and I looked at it and I thought to myself, ‘This is just too beautiful not to have a video,’” Smithers said. She shut off her flashlight and “started recording the bull, just following him, making his loop and as he started coming around his second loop in my video, he goes right over” the fence, she said. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) said Saturday’s incident is a reminder that “while rodeo is a highly-entertaining sport, on very rare occasions it can also pose some risk”. “PRCA sends our thoughts and well wishes to those who were injured or otherwise impacted by this frightening and very rare incident,” the association said.

Top economist Harry Dent is warning Americans that a financial “crash of a lifetime” is looming in the United States. In an interview with Fox News Dent warned that the entire financial sector is in a bubble that has yet to burst. Dent warned, “In 1925 to ‘29, it was a natural bubble. There was no stimulus behind that, artificial stimulus per se. So this is new. This has never happened.” “Flooding the economy with extra money forever might actually enhance the overall economy long-term. But we’ll only see when we see this bubble burst,” added Dent.

Speaking in an updated interview with Fox News Digital, Dent cautioned that the “everything” bubble has still yet to burst, and it may be a bigger crash than the Great Recession. “In 1925 to ‘29, it was a natural bubble. There was no stimulus behind that, artificial stimulus per se. So this is new. This has never happened,” Dent said on Tuesday. “What do you do if you want to cure a hangover? You drink more. And that’s what they’ve been doing.” “Flooding the economy with extra money forever might actually enhance the overall economy long-term. But we’ll only see when we see this bubble burst,” he added. “And again, this bubble has been going 14 years. Instead of most bubbles [going] five to six, it’s been stretched higher, longer. So you’d have to expect a bigger crash than we got in 2008 to ’09.” I’ve been saying the Left wants Trump to win because the Biden recession is coming.

INSIDER'S SELLING: Have You Seen All Of These? My spidey sense is tingling that the economy is NOT in a good spot right now.... And before you say "DUH NOAH!" let me rephrase that -- of course we know the economy has been destroyed in these last four years by the Biden Regime, that's not really a secret. But the stock market continues to hold up and create new market highs almost every day. Why is Wall Street so disconnected from Main Street? And will it keep going this way? No one knows for sure, but I have a couple things to show you. The first is this video from "MeetKevin", one of my favorite people on YouTube. Kevin is almost always optimistic for the future, very far from a "Stock Market Bear". So the fact that he just released this video titled "Urgent Black Monday WARNING" tonight caught my attention in a big way: Backup here: MUST WATCH!! MIRROR: https://t.co/mmXnulleTr pic.twitter.com/JQ4CTmAxPp — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) May 30, 2024 But beyond that, I like to watch what the big boys DO, not what they SAY. Because what they SAY and what they tell us to do is almost always the exact opposite of what they're doing. That's how they get rich. They send the herd off in one direction to get a bloodbath and they make a killing in the other direction. A tale as old as time. And that's what I wanted to show you right now. I've published this before back when they were "happening in the future" but now most of these have just wrapped up. Simply put: most of the big boys on Wall Street are selling their shares. Ditching them and running as fast as they can. So I can't give personalized financial advice, I'm just a reporter, but I ask you once again -- what do you think is smarter: buying the stock market at all time highs and hoping it goes up more from here, or doing what the big boys are doing and cashing out and GETTING out? I won't answer that, I'll just show you this.... Jeff Bezos is out: Insider’s Selling (Part 1): Jeff Bezos Sells $8.5 BILLION of Amazon Stock The Walton Family is out: Insider’s Selling (Part 2): Walton Family Cashes Out of Wal-Mart! Jamie Dimon is out: Insider’s Selling (Part 3): Jamie Dimon Sells MILLIONS Of Stock — First Time Ever In Over 18 Years And good old Mark Zuckerberg is out: Insider’s Selling (Bonus Part 4): Mark Zuckerberg So what can you do? I can already read the comments: Noah, I don't have stocks in the first place!  What should I do? Well, once again I don't provide personalized financial advice, but it seems to me that one of the smartest things you could do in the face of potentially very bad times ahead is to position yourself in "God's Money" -- precious metals. I am NOT a financial advisor, but if you feel like you want to follow these guys and get OUT of stocks and into something safe like Gold, here are the only two Gold companies I trust to work with. They will take VERY good care of you if you need assistance: The ONLY Two Gold Companies I Am Proud To Partner With We mostly cover politics here, but politics affects the economy and the economy affects...YOU and ME!  And our pocketbooks. Big league. So in the midst of covering politics, we also cover money from time to time...and while I'm not a financial advisor, I share what I'm learning in the hopes that it can help you and keep you and your family safe. And that often leads me to covering Gold and Silver. You know, what they have always called "God's Money". He made it, they aren't making any more of it, and it has always been highly valued as money from the beginning of time until now. So I'm a big fan and I think it has the potential to do big things if, say, the U.S. Dollar were to suddenly collapse. So that's why I talk about it and why I want to make sure everyone protects themselves and your families. So to answer the question of "what can I do?" it's really quite simple: you need to get some #Gold or #Silver in your own possession. It's called "physical" gold and silver. Not paper traded garbage on the stock exchanges that isn't backed by anything. Don't touch that stuff. And because I get asked so much how to buy it and what the best places are, I thought I would publish this and just get it out there for all to have.... I have two special hook-ups for you and these are the ONLY two companies I am proud to partner up with on Gold and Silver. Both involve PHYSICAL gold and silver. Because if you do NOTHING else, make sure you own "physical" gold and silver, not paper contracts. The paper contracts (like stock ticker SLV and GLD) could very well go POOF one day and disappear or go to zero, because they're not actually backed by the gold and silver they claim to represent. It's a massive game of musical chairs out there and when the music stops (and I think it will stop soon...) people who only own paper might find themselves owning something not worth the paper it's literally written on. And I know you'll never forget it if I give you this GIF so....Let's Get Physical: Now...WHERE do you get physical gold and silver and how do you know it's real and safe? And that you're getting the best price? Oh, and how about personal one-on-one real customer service? You know, like you were some Big Wig millionaire at Goldman Sachs who could just call their personal banker and get help? That's what I'm about to tell you.   I have two killer connections for you... The first is for purchasing gold and silver bullion. That means bulk bars. That's the cheapest and most economical way to do it, to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible. The website is called WLT Precious Metals and when you see my logo in the top left-hand corner, you'll know you're in the right place. You'll get a personal phone call with Ira Bershatsky (or someone on his team) and they will work with you free of charge for as long as needed to answer any questions you have and get you taken care of. How about that! You don't see that much anymore, but Ira and his team pride themselves on good old-fashioned real customers service: No sales pitch, just real, actual help. And the best prices you will find. Here's the only disclaimer I will give you: because they do pride themselves on dedicated service, it might take a few days before you get a phone call back.  Just be patient. Good things come to those who wait! You can contact Ira and WLT Precious Metals here. Ok, that was #1. Now I want to tell you about option #2. An equally great company, I am so happy to be working with these guys. This next company is called Genesis Gold and this is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts). You know what the beauty of that is? Two huge benefits actually... First is TAX FREE baby! I'm not a tax advisor, but that's a general oversimplification. Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay. And that's why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!). Second is if you simply shift money out of stocks (like Peter Schiff recommends) and into Gold, it won't cost you anything!  No money out of pocket!   BOOM! There's so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina! They call it "Faith-Driven Stewardship" and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel: Wealth Preservation With Gold & Silver – The Genesis Gold IRA By your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered Gold and Silver into your treasuries – EZEKIEL 28:4 Genesis Gold Group believes the Bible gives clues on how man-made currencies (paper money) represent instability, and a lack of virtue and encourages living wastefully in excess. Conflicts have beleaguered us since the dawn of civilization, and they can all be encapsulated into one battle. The battle is between currency, man-made paper, and gold and silver — the two precious metals found in our Earth’s crust, sent to us by our Lord to use as money. Man-made currency always leads nations down the path to increased war, greed, and ultimate collapse. History has shown that abandoning gold and silver has always been a bad idea. Gold and Silver enforce discipline, nurture self-constraint, self-reliance, and balance, and lead to confidence, a restrained government, and a more stable foreign policy. Genesis Gold Group believes in empowering faith-driven stewardship with Gold & Silver are an integral part of a balanced portfolio. Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been more crucial during these trying times. With a combined 50-plus years in the precious metals industry, let your Genesis gold and silver experts guide you through the simplicity of asset protection and growth with our Genesis Gold IRA. Sincerely, Genesis Gold Group Empowering Faith-Driven Stewardship Oh....and they're VERY good at what they do. You also get physical gold and silver with Genesis, believe it or not!  The gold and silver is purchased for you (in whatever combination of coins and bars you prefer, a picture taken and sent to you, and then stored safely in a vault for you! I love what these guys are doing. Here's more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful: You can contact Genesis Gold here. They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance! Tell 'em Noah sent ya! Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself? It's true. Superman himself, Clark Kent -- Dean Cain -- came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down: Watch here: Stay safe! Make sure you can weather the storm when it hits! Because the storm always hits eventually, doesn't it? As for me and my house, we will be ready. ?

Ten years between albums for most any artist would instantly eliminate him or her from the chart of relevance, much less illicit further interest from anyone who ever cared. But when you’re operating in the secret world of Peter Gabriel, you can afford to take your time. And it’s not like he wasn’t busy — running a record company and trying to save the world is a full time job. Up, Gabriel’s 2002 follow up to 1992’s Us carries on the 14-year tradition of two letter titles with visceral dignity and passionate implication. As a whole, Up traverses the blurry line of life and death — lyrically infused with deep-seated introspection and sorrow swimming in a sonic sea of salient harmonies, buoyant texturing and consummate profundity. This is the kind of stuff that has kept Gabriel at the vanguard, even during his long periods of supposed inactivity. Gabriel’s long-term investment into Up was a glowing testament to the singer’s therapeutic approach to his recording career — aligning personal fulfillment with fluent precision. The former front man of Genesis has always had this way of tugging at the heartstrings, in a somewhat unorthodox fashion, perpetuated by a wave of ethereal effects — but never forced, rarely contrived (“Sledgehammer” came dangerously close) and in your face enough to grab your attention. “Darkness” introduces the disc by creeping up slowly, suddenly leaping forward with all the velocity of a wild beast. Here, Gabriel lets down his guard and blatantly intones the conflicts of his childhood fears and anxieties (“I’m afraid I can be devil man/and I’m scared to be divine…”) “Growing Up” pushes forward in the evolution, a cautious build that ascends into a rhythmic lilt sustained by an elephant roar and a flurry of buzzes, bleeps and stings. “I Grieve” is the singer’s direct statement on mortality and its effects upon the living while “Sky Blue” furthers the notion and features some alluring harmonizations from the Blind Boys of Alabama and chilling guitar work courtesy of both Daniel Lanois (who did not produce the album) and Fleetwood Mac’s legendary nowhere man, Peter Green. The single “The Barry Williams Show” boasts the vaudevillian antics of So’s “Big Time,” but its message — a departure from the album’s running theme — is a sad commentary on Jerry Springer-type reality programming that borders on cheap and sensationalistic entertainment. Spewing forth lines like, “Dysfunctional excess/Is all it took for my success/The greater pain that they endure/The more you know the show has scored? It’s Showtime,” Gabriel’s sardonic and venomous delivery makes the track worth a spin. From there, things take a turn for the better. “My Head Sounds Like That” brandishes an edgy Lennonesque veneer, revealing Gabriel’s penchant for economical and stark melodies. On “Signal To Noise,” a mounting orchestra sounds the empathetic alarm amidst the additional warm vocalizations flowing from the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Up ends on the last barren notes emoted with the simple piano line and isolated vocal of “The Drop.” When you delve into a dark album with an optimistic edge, it’s reassuring to know there are artists over the half-century mark that still take chances and have something significant to say. ~ Shawn Perry The post Peter Gabriel | Up – Lost Gem first appeared on VintageRock.com.
