The United Nations has selected a man who identifies as a woman — and has also spoken about stealing his sister’s underwear —to work as a U.N. Women U.K. delegate with the U.N.’s Commission on the Status of Women. Martin “Katie” Neeves tweeted‚ “I’m happy to announce that I’ve been accepted as a UN Women UK delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women‚ which is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women.” In 2022‚ footage emerged of Neeves from a diversity training webinar where he stated‚ “My earliest memories were of my mum catching me trying on a pair of my sister’s knickers. I remember when I did it‚ it felt so right. But then my mum came in‚ and she caught me and told me off … In my childhood‚ I used to secretly dress in my sister’s clothes whenever I had the opportunity. And whenever I did it‚ it felt so right. But then those feelings of being right were very quickly overtaken by feelings of guilt‚ shame‚ and self-loathing. Because what I was doing was wrong‚ it was dirty‚ it was naughty‚ and not what respectable people did.” In September‚ the East and West Midlands Women’s Awards bestowed its Outstanding Female LGBTQIA+ Champion award on Neeves. The organization’s website states the purpose of the Women’s Awards is “to raise awareness‚ recognize and honor the hard work and valuable contribution women of all cultures‚ communities‚ races‚ and beliefs‚ in all sectors make.” In January‚ after a biological male was chosen by U.N. Women U.K. as their first “Champion‚” 17 British organizations fired off a letter slamming the U.N. for ignoring actual women in their selection. The letter said that Munroe Bergdorf‚ appointed U.N. Women’s U.K. champion in November‚ had “resigned as an adviser on LGBT+ to the UK Labour Party after previous homophobic and racist posts on social media were revealed. These included saying that ‘all white people’ are ‘violent racists and ‘f*** you‚ stupid dirty and smelly n****’. There are numerous examples of homophobic messaging‚ using expressions like ‘f*****’ and ‘old poof‚’ ‘hairy barren lesbian’ and ‘barren…hairy d****.’” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “In a separate incident‚ Bergdorf was dropped as an ambassador to a children’s charity‚ Childline‚ because of inappropriate messages which were counter to safeguarding norms‚” the letter added. “This person has objected to women making references to our female bodies‚” the letter stated. “Yet many issues affecting women‚ such as FGM‚ child marriage and forced marriage‚ reproductive rights‚ male violence against women and girls‚ rape as a war crime‚ pregnancy and maternity healthcare‚ and more‚ are inextricably linked with our female biology. How can this person be a champion of women if these issues are deemed unmentionable?” Related: U.N. Women’s Group Chooses Male For Its ‘U.K. Champion.’ 17 Women’s Organizations Blast The Decision.

Destroying any illusions that the Biden administration may have had about dividing and conquering the Israeli government about its will to destroy Hamas‚ Benny Gantz — the leader of the National Unity Party who joined with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form a coalition government in the wake of the October 7 Hamas massacre — reportedly told Biden administration officials that Israel will not stop its efforts to finish Hamas and will go into Rafah‚ the last remaining Hamas stronghold. The Biden administration has been frantically trying to impede Israel’s efforts to enter Rafah; President Biden has reportedly warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to proceed with Israel’s attack on Rafah; in early February National Security Council spokesman John Kirby threatened‚ “Military operations right now would be a disaster for those people‚ and it’s not something that we would support.” The Wall Street Journal editorial board noted in mid-February‚ “Taking Rafah Is Essential to Defeat Hamas. It’s the terror group’s last stronghold. Why is Biden opposed to Israel capturing the city? Ever notice how it is always deemed a humanitarian imperative to let Hamas survive? The diplomatic pressure on Israel to stay out of Rafah‚ Hamas’s final stronghold‚ has become enormous.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted in mid-February‚ “Those who say that under no circumstances should we enter Rafah are basically saying lose the war‚ keep Hamas there.” Despite the effort to prevent Israel from entering Rafah‚ Gantz reportedly told U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan that “ending the war without clearing out Rafah is like sending a firefighter to extinguish 80% of the fire‚” according to Israel Hayom. “Biden administration officials expressed great doubt as to whether Israel is capable of evacuating the 1.2 million Gazans currently in and around Rafah before the military operation begins‚” Israel National News reported. “Gantz rejected these statements‚ emphasizing that ending the war in Gaza without a military operation in Rafah is something which is unacceptable to Israel. Regarding the humanitarian aid‚ Gantz explained that the issue is not one of bringing aid into Gaza but rather of distributing it to the civilians‚ since Hamas takes over the distribution as part of the preservation of its civil rule of Gaza.” Gantz also reportedly dismissed putting the Palestinian Authority back in charge in Gaza‚ instead suggesting a “Gaza Civil Administration.”

Votes cast for former President Donald Trump in Maine’s primary on Super Tuesday will be counted after the Supreme Court ruled states cannot remove him from the ballot using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows‚ a Democrat‚ withdrew the ban on Trump in a modified ruling that took into consideration the high court’s decision on Monday in a case from Colorado called Trump v. Anderson. “The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that individual states lack authority to enforce Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment with respect to federal offices‚” Bellows said. “Consistent with my oath and obligation to follow the law and the Constitution‚ and pursuant to the Anderson decision‚ I hereby withdraw my determination that Mr. Trump’s primary petition is invalid‚” she added. In December‚ Maine became the second state to disqualify Trump from the ballot following Colorado over the view that he violated the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause due to his conduct leading up to the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6‚ 2021. Trump appealed the decision to the Maine Superior Court. His lawyers argued Bellows was biased and made a decision based on “untrustworthy evidence.” A judge put the decision on hold until the Supreme Court ruled‚ and the state’s top court declined to get involved before that happened. The Supreme Court decision was timely for Trump‚ as Colorado and Maine have their GOP primaries scheduled on Super Tuesday. Illinois‚ a third state in which a decision to bar Trump from the ballot had been reversed‚ has its GOP primary set for March 19. Trump is spearheading another presidential campaign this year. He is currently the GOP frontrunner with 273 delegates over Nikki Haley’s 43 delegates. If he secures the nomination‚ Trump could face President Joe Biden in a 2020 rematch in the general election. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP But as he runs again for the White House‚ Trump faces a bevy of criminal cases‚ some of which are tied to January 6‚ as well as civil litigation. Trump has broadly denied any wrongdoing. The Supreme Court announced last week that it was taking up the issue of whether Trump can invoke presidential immunity to shield himself from federal prosecution in a 2020 election case brought by special counsel Jack Smith. An oral argument is scheduled for the week of April 22.

A man named Dario Grande stumbled upon a real-life message in a bottle as he was strolling along his favorite beach in Italy‚ and it led him to a new friend over 2‚000 miles away. Dario was walking along the shoreline in Bacoli when he spotted a clear glass bottle sticking out of the sand. Just like in the movies‚ the bottle was capped with a cork and had a rolled-up note inside. The curious beachgoer opened the unlikely mailbox and found a message from an 11-year-old boy named Tillman. “I’m sending this message in a bottle on a trip. And I’m very curious to see who will find it‚” read the note. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dario Grande (@dario_grande) Tillman‚ originally from Germany‚ went on to share his hobbies and dreams and some insight into the culture of his community in Spain’s Balearic Islands. It took about four months for it to drift through the Mediterranean Sea to reach Italy. The Message in a Bottle Led to a True Friendship Upon finding the message in a bottle‚ Dario penned a response to Tillman and posted it on Instagram. He ended it with a promise to return a new note to the sea. “Tomorrow morning‚ in the same way‚ I will send a message using your bottle‚ hoping that it will arrive to a dreamer like us‚” he wrote. “I hope to meet you one day in Mallorca. I will definitely come looking for you.” Darion made good on his word and enlisted the help of both Italian and Spanish journalists to locate the author—and they were able to find him. Dario was able to connect with Tillman’s family‚ and he and the boy have begun an old-fashioned penpal friendship. As The People’s Network reported‚ Dario‚ who has been traveling the world and documenting his journey on Instagram‚ will also be meeting in person soon.
