You probably fantasized about flying like a plane‚ or a bird‚ but certainly not a Kryptonian. Well‚ good news‚ now you can do that in Fortnite! That’s what you asked for‚ right? Here is how to do the Wings of Icarus invisibility glitch in Fortnite. What is the Wings of Icarus invisibility glitch in Fortnite? Let’s get this out of the way‚ this glitch looks incredibly nice for characters such as Omni Man‚ Iron Man Goku‚ and Superman since they are all flying characters. The current glitch of a string of game-breaking errors in Fortnite involves the Wings of Icarus‚ an item introduced in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 that is arguably a bit broken – and now we are seeing how much. Image: NicoTheBear64 You see‚ the Wings of Icarus invisibility glitch will make the Wings completely invisible‚ making your character appear to fly without any help. This is both awesome and game-breaking since the downside of the Wings of Icarus is an increased hitbox and visibility....

It has been 40 years since a Republican presidential candidate won Washington state. Today‚ Democrats enjoy a “trifecta” there‚ controlling the governorship and both chambers of the Washington State Legislature. But despite Democrats’ firm grip on state government‚ conservatives just scored their own “trifecta” victory in the deep-blue stronghold.   The conservative grassroots organization Let’s Go Washington collected 2.6 million signatures across the state on six ballot initiatives‚ which amounts to over 420‚000 signatures per measure.   In early March‚ under pressure to act on the Republican-backed ballot initiatives‚ the Washington State Legislature enacted three of the six measures after holding hearings.   The three measures‚ which become law within the next 90 days‚ will: Remove restrictions on reasonable police pursuits.   Give parents the right to examine their children’s classroom curriculum‚ books‚ and other materials‚ and grant parents the right to see their children’s school records.  Bar the state‚ counties‚ cities‚ or other jurisdictions from implementing a general income tax.  “By having a coordinated‚ strategic agenda of six initiatives … we were able to put [Democrats] on defense‚ and they needed to react to what we were trying to accomplish‚” Dann Mead Smith‚ finance director and steering committee member for Let’s Go Washington‚ told The Daily Signal.   “And now‚ half of what we wanted to accomplish has been passed into law‚” said Mead Smith‚ adding‚ “and we’re hopefully poised for a complete victory to get all six passed by voters in November.”   The other three initiatives‚ for which the Washington State Legislature didn’t hold hearings‚ will appear on the ballot in November‚ giving voters the opportunity to approve them as law. Those initiatives would:  Repeal the state’s cap-and-trade carbon tax.   Allow Washingtonians to opt out of the state government’s long-term health care insurance program.   Repeal the state tax on capital gains income.   The Seattle Times also summarized the success of the campaign for the state ballot measures as putting the Democrat-controlled House and Senate on “defense.” “House and Senate Republicans relentlessly brought attention to these initiatives‚ including through repeated procedural motions to require their consideration by the Legislature‚” House Minority Leader Drew Stokesbary told The Daily Signal.   “Even though the initiatives represent a significant rollback of Democrats’ signature policy victories in recent years‚ it appears that legislative Democrats succumbed to Republican pressure and decided to pass the three initiatives that were polling the best‚ and roll the dice with voters on the other three‚” Stokesbary said‚ adding: “I suspect that will turn out to be a bad bet for them as well.”  Originally‚ the Washington State Legislature “refused to even hold hearings on any of the six [initiatives]‚” Mead Smith said‚ “even though in the state Constitution‚ it says the paramount duty of the Legislature is to pass a state budget and then to debate citizen initiatives to the Legislature.” In response‚ Let’s Go Washington mounted a public pressure campaign‚ holding two rallies on the steps of the state Capitol. Local media called for hearings‚ and polling indicated bipartisan support for the measures.   Mead Smith of Let’s Go Washington‚ also the co-founder and co-leader of its parent company‚ Project 42‚ said he was surprised by this fact: Of over 820‚000 unique signers of petitions to put the initiatives on the ballot‚ 57% were either registered Democrats or independents.  With such a large‚ independent voting bloc in Washington state‚ Mead Smith said‚ he believes the Democrat-controlled Legislature saw the support for the initiatives and “that made them nervous” not to act—resulting in a “political calculation” to hold hearings on and pass three of the measures.   If the three remaining ballot initiatives attract bipartisan support from voters‚ he said‚ he hopes other states will take note and “not enact some of these bad policies.”  Have an opinion about this article?

A group of female athletes sued the National Collegiate Athletic Association on Thursday over the organization allowing “transgender” athletes to compete against them and use locker rooms for women. The lawsuit‚ filed by the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) on behalf of more than a dozen female athletes‚ alleges that the NCAA violated Title IX‚ a federal statute that guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college sports. It seeks to prohibit biological males from competing against female athletes and demands the NCAA revoke awards given to “transgender” athletes who competed against women in tournaments governed by the organization. “We’re not just fighting for ourselves; we’re fighting for every young girl who dreams of competing in sports‚” Riley Gaines‚ a conservative female activist and former NCAA athlete‚ said in an ICONS news release announcing the lawsuit. “I’m thankful for ICONS’ commitment to our cause‚ especially their financial commitment‚ allowing us to take this to court. I urge anyone who cares about protecting women’s sports to help get behind us‚” Gaines said. The lawsuit highlights an event hosted by the NCAA and Georgia Tech University with Lia Thomas‚ the “transgender” person who competed in the 2022 NCAA swimming championships. It also states that the decision to let Thomas compete against women is based on an “illegal premise” that “testosterone suppression and personal choice alone can make a male eligible to compete on a women’s sports team.” The lawsuit also says the NCAA’s rules allow “men to compete on women’s teams with a testosterone level that is five times higher than the highest recorded testosterone level for elite female athletes.” The lead attorney of the lawsuit is Bill Bock‚ who formerly served as the United States Anti-Doping Agency general counsel and resigned from the NCAA Committee on Infractions in February over rules allowing men to compete in women’s sports‚ according to the news release. The international governing organizations for cricket‚ track and field and swimming barred biological males from competing in women’s events in 2023. ICONS and the NCAA did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation Have an opinion about this article?

This Isn't Going to Go Well: No A/C for Olympic Athletes in Paris

The Heritage Foundation hosted an event titled “What Americans Need to Know About Abortion Survivors” on Thursday. The hour long panel featured Andrew Bath‚ Executive Vice President‚ General Counsel‚ from the Thomas More Society‚ Dr. John Bruchalski‚ founder of Tepeyac OB-GYN‚ and Melissa Ohden‚ founder and CEO of Abortion Survivors Network. The trio‚ via questions from The Daily Signal’s Mary Margaret Olohan‚ spoke about late term abortions and how they not only are still happening despite the media and the left attempting to cover them up‚ but also how absolutely horrific these procedures are for both mothers and babies. Dr. Bruchalski talked about his past experience being an abortion provider and how he made the shift from abortion to life-affirming medicine.  He recounted one evening in his career where in one room he helped a woman give birth and in the next room over‚ he conducted an abortion procedure. “That second patient‚” he said‚ talking about the baby of the mother in the abortion room‚ “lived.” What he said next was shocking and heartbreaking but exposed the reality of what many abortion providers‚ himself at the time‚ think.  “What did I do at that moment? I wanted to suffocate the squeaks of the child that I caught in a pail because no one wanted it‚” he said. “Out of a false compassion‚ I put a covering over the child’s head‚” he said before explaining that he had to reposition the baby’s tiny head in order to get them to suffocate faster.  I don’t think there was a dry eye in the auditorium as event attendees were reminded of the absolute vile truths of abortion. You could’ve heard a pin drop in the room at that point. Later on in his career‚ students and mentors told Dr. B that he was “better than this” and then the shift from abortion to life-affirming medicine “became clear.” Ohden grabbed his hand and said‚ “what you’re looking at when I reach over and grab Dr. B’s hand‚ he‚ ended the lives of children just like me‚ and yet‚ I have the great opportunity here to sit with him today and say‚ this is what redemption looks like. This is what restoration looks like. This conversion is possible.” Everyone in the audience had chills recognizing how there is hope in this battle. Ohden then shared her own story of how her birth mother was coerced into aborting her. Typically it takes roughly three days after a woman’s child is injected with saline before the woman goes into labor. For Ohden‚ it took five days before her mother delivered her. Shockingly‚ Ohden was born alive. She was not given immediate medical care and was told that she was set to be like other babies who were born alive after abortions and placed in “buckets of formaldehyde” in a utility closet. By God’s grace‚ a “brave nurse defied the orders to leave” Ohden and brought her to the NICU. A neonatologist estimated that Ohden’s birth mother was roughly 31 weeks along when she sought an abortion.  Ohden’s story isn’t rare. Bath mentioned that of the late-term-abortions‚ yes‚ the ones the left claims never happen‚ “up to 50% are born alive” and many or most are left to die slowly‚ some even in buckets of formaldehyde or by suffocation like Dr. B and Ohden talked about.  Olohan then asked‚ “Why would we be told by media‚ activists and lawmakers that this isn’t happening when we know that‚ in fact‚ it is?” “This is ideologically driven‚” Dr. Bruchalski said. “This is abortion on demand” he added before explaining that even when a child comes out alive‚ it’s “still not wanted” hence why the left makes it their every mission to cover up‚ erase and dismiss these types of stories. Ohden focused on this point when she said that she wishes she could say that when she was born alive the “medical professionals saw my inherent dignity and value‚” but that wasn’t the case and she noted that she‚ along with other children who were accidentally born alive‚ are called the “dreaded complication of abortion.” Dr. B emphasized that real physicians need to stop deciding “who lives and who dies.” Olohan later asked Bath to talk about some of the laws that we currently have in place that aim to help children and why they aren’t being enforced. He mentioned one that has been introduced in congress which would require that doctors provide care to babies born alive during abortions “to the same degree” that they’d care for a preemie child. “Last year‚ all but three democrats voted against this law‚” Bath noted before calling on “prayer support” and “congress to act.” To conclude‚ Dr. B explained that we need to “stop seeing children as sexually transmitted diseases that need to be eradicated” and that we need to “stop being on the walkway where you are choosing who lives and who dies.” In all‚ the event was incredibly moving. The real life scenarios‚ the statistics and the realities of abortion stuck with audience members. I hope and pray that those on the left are as moved by this as attendees were and make that same shift Dr. B made from being pro-abortion to becoming life-affirming.   

Liberal bias with a concentrated whiff of transatlantic condescension‚ courtesy of a fundraising email from the ultra-left UK-based newspaper The Guardian. Eyeing the liberal market in the United States during an election year‚ the outlet is tapping potential donors in their readership through a most condescending email package‚ under the signature of its “Southeast reporter” on “politics and democracy” reporter George Chidi: I cover politics and democracy for the Guardian from down here in Atlanta. My beat is the southern states – the heart of both Trump politics and far-right extremism. My interest between now and the election is in protecting democracy from the forces threatening to destroy it. It’s well established that The Guardian isn’t exactly striving for objectivity or balance – more like the PBS/NPR market of easily scared liberals – but the email really puts their condescending stance down in black and white. What I’m seeing down here‚ in the blood-reddest parts of these states‚ is conservative voters shutting off from reality‚ consumed with far-right media outrage. It’s a machine telling them that we can’t solve problems with civil conversation anymore. Don’t worry‚ Chidi will ride to the rescue to assuage the gun-crazed Southern savages. Just by talking to folks on their doorsteps‚ I am showing them that there's a way to have a conversation about politics that does not end with “grab a gun.” When I show up somewhere like the Appalachian territory of South Carolina and say I’m from the Guardian‚ I can show people that what they’re hearing on Fox or Newsmax or OAN isn’t true. They can see with their two eyeballs that the Guardian is here doing honest reporting and providing it for free to everyone. The Guardian is in a unique position because we rely on a revenue stream that can't be corrupted by the same forces that are pushing the media narrative on the far right. The paper’s strategy for fighting the “far right” media is apparently to propagate its own wacky far-left idea of “journalism.” A few examples here‚ here‚ and here. I am out here in these places because I believe it is incredibly important for everyone concerned about the far right – in the United States and across the world – to understand why people here think the way they do. I am also hearing a rise in extreme rhetoric‚ and it’s important we document it now‚ because we don't know what's going to happen in the election or in the days and weeks following. After all that extreme condescension‚ chiding Chidi had the nerve to suggest: ….If you're a political conservative and you're reading the Guardian‚ you should still be able to see the truth reflected in the words we publish. The Guardian has progressive values‚ but that doesn't mean that we compromise on journalistic integrity. I think it's quite the opposite. It's an upfront acknowledgment‚ and people I meet appreciate the honesty. The letter ended with more guff about how the left-wing British rag was protecting democracy in the United States. If we want to protect democracy‚ we have to keep getting out into communities where people don’t encounter the kind of reporting the Guardian does. I really believe that the work reporters do on the ground– talking to people across the US and then providing free‚ trustworthy reporting-- is the way we keep our democracy safe. You can support that work by giving a dollar or more now. Thanks for reading.
