There’s a running joke that a Dollar General pops up in any open field across America. That sometimes seems very accurate‚ as the chain of stores has locations everywhere. The iconic discount department stores carry a variety of items‚ including clothing‚ household items‚ outdoor equipment‚ groceries‚ and more. Each store is the same but also unique. One Dollar General store has an unofficial rooster mascot named Fred. When the note appeared on the door of one of the drink coolers‚ customers knew they needed to adopt him‚ too. The note began‚ “Dear Customers‚ There is NOTHING we can do about Fred (the rooster) he does not belong to any one [sic] that works here‚ but we do enjoy his company.” Image from TikTok. The note in the dollar store tells customers that the rooster is harmless and is probably just looking for food. They urge people to keep the rooster out of the store. For the most part‚ Fred the Rooster hangs out near the store’s front doors. Some customers are fearful‚ while others want to touch the little fellow. Image from TikTok. The images were posted on TikTok by a user who stated that the rooster replaced a previous feline mascot named Mr. General. We can’t verify that‚ but it sounds legitimate. Many animals will inhabit an area where people come and go if they are lost or looking for food. Image from TikTok. Many stores adopt stray animals as unofficial mascots‚ like this dollar store and the rooster. At Home Depot home improvement stores‚ many stores adopt cats like Leo and Cheeks from their local rescue to perform rodent control duties in and around the store. Animals make people smile&;#33; Please share this with others if Fred makes you smile. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Ask any classic rock fan to name one of their favorite groups from the 1960s and 1970s‚ and the band Traffic will always be in the conversation. No one sounded like this group. Traffic was formed in 1967 in Birmingham‚ England‚ by Steve Winwood‚ Jim Capaldi‚ Chris Wood‚ and Dave Mason.  As I said in the opening sentence‚ this band was unlike any other as they were known for its fusion of rock‚ folk‚ and jazz. Traffic released eight studio albums and underwent several line-up changes throughout their active years before initially disbanding in 1974. They briefly reunited in 1994 The post Complete List Of Traffic Band Members appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

When it comes to gender politics‚ many in opposition acknowledge that adults have the ability to choose for themselves whether they pursue hormone therapy or body-mutilating operations‚ because adults can better weigh the risks of their decisions. Children‚ on the other hand‚ are quite different from adults. Opponents of gender ideology are steadfast in the fight to keep these ideological procedures away from children because they understand how vulnerable children are to the manipulative nature of so-called gender-affirming care. Far too many kids have already become victims of medical experiments as it is. This is what makes a law recently passed in Germany even more infuriating. On April 12‚ the Bundestag‚ or the German parliament‚ “passed one of the world’s most far-reaching sex self-determination policies‚” Reduxx reported. This radical legislation‚ it added‚ “establishes ‘gender identity’ as a protected characteristic and allows parents to change the sex marker on their children’s documents from birth.” Under the Self-Determination Act‚ citizens may be fined 10‚000 euros ($10‚719) for “deadnaming‚” which is a term LGBT activists use when someone‚ without his or her permission‚ is referred to by the name given at birth rather than the name he or she chose as part of this identity fa&;ccedil;ade. And just when it appears it can’t get any more drastic‚ the Self-Determination Act also “permits parents to alter the recorded sex of children beginning from birth. From the age of 5 years old‚ it allows for name and sex changes if there is ‘mutual consent’ between the child and their parents.” Physicians have emphasized that Europe is ahead of the U.S. in terms of how far gender ideology has gone. Some countries‚ though‚ such as the U.K.‚ Sweden‚ Finland‚ and Norway have begun backtracking as more evidence comes to light of the harmful nature of such procedures. Thankfully‚ the battle is strong in America from the side of those determined to keep children safe by preventing legislation such as the Self-Determination Act‚ known in Germany as SBGG‚ from happening in this country. But several questions come to mind when analyzing this recent development: What implications does a law such as this in Germany offer for what’s next in the gender politics wars&;#63; Will similar laws pass elsewhere in Europe&;#63; How will America respond&;#63; To help give insight to some of those questions‚ Joseph Backholm‚ Family Research Council’s senior fellow for strategic engagement and biblical worldview‚ commented to The Washington Stand. “If we describe ‘radical’ as something far outside the lines of decency‚ this is definitely a radical policy‚” Backholm insisted. “The idea that parents would be allowed to change the sex of their child from birth is outrageous. Any parent who wanted to treat their son as a girl from birth should lose their parental rights‚ not do so with the support and encouragement of the government.” Addressing the details of the law passed in Germany‚ Backholm noted‚ “The name is ironic but perfect‚ much like their flagship holiday‚ Pride. The Self-Determination Act reflects their desire to define their own reality‚ but reality will never stop pushing back and will never lose.” This‚ of course‚ is exhibited in the mountains of research and evidence that proves the biological reality of the two-sex binary‚ as well as the reality that biological sex cannot be altered by hormones and surgeries. “Why is a child’s sex the only thing the parents can change&;#63;” Backholm asked. “Why can’t they change their birth year to make them immediately eligible for retirement benefits&;#63; Why can’t a child who feels like an old soul identify as a retiree&;#63;”  In answer to those questions‚ Backholm contended: “If we allow this logic to prevail‚ there’s simply no point in having identification documents. Germany should get rid of any attempt to describe someone’s characteristics and simply give every life (we shouldn’t assume their species) an identification number and let them make up the rest. That’s the only way to be consistent.” However‚ he clarified‚ “that would be insane.” But the sad reality is that “it’s not more insane than this law is.” For Backholm‚ the irrational possibility that “the elites” might decide we can “choose our own birth year … may be coming.” As to how believers should respond‚ Backholm helpfully observed‚ “The correct response for Christians to madness like this is to say what we know to be true without fear.” Ultimately‚ he said‚ “The more people hear the truth spoken‚ the more likely they are to speak the truth.” “These ideas cannot prevail over time‚” he insisted‚ “but they can do a lot of damage before we come to our senses. Our job is to minimize that damage and encourage a return to reality as quickly as possible.” Originally published by The Washington Stand The post Germany’s Radical Law Allows Parents to Trans Their Infants From Birth appeared first on The Daily Signal.
