While Russia’s Vladimir Putin is getting friendly with all of America’s enemies and holding meetings with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, the White House is executing a much different strategy. Vice President Kamala Harris invited the cast of Bravo’s “Queer Eye” to visit the White House to celebrate Pride Month. “Queer Eye” is a show where gay celebrities give straight men makeovers. Harris then posted videos of their visit, one featuring the caption: “The cast of @QueerEye joined me at the White House to discuss the hard-fought progress the LGBTQI+ community has made in the past 20 years. Thank you for a meaningful conversation, for giving my office your stamp of approval, and for being fabulous.” One video featured a member of the cast standing behind the podium as if giving a press conference answering questions about his hair. Glenn Beck can’t believe that these are the people in charge. “Here he is standing behind the podium at the White House, and then he does a deal with the vice president where he knocks on her door and she opens it up in the West Wing and she’s like ‘Hello,’ and he’s like ‘Surprise’ and they come in, he’s wearing a dress and heels and everything else,” he says. “Don’t lecture me about women,” he adds, shaking his head.

A family of taekwondo black belts on Tuesday heard screams next door to their Houston-area studio, hurried over, and ended up rescuing a female from an attempted sexual assault.Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez hailed the heroic act on X, calling the family of five a "group of good samaritans" who "rushed to safe [sic] the day."Hannah An told KHOU that when they opened the doors, she 'saw a man on top of a woman, and the woman was on the ground.'Gonzalez added that "deputies were dispatched to a disturbance in the 6800 block of Fry Road. Upon arrival, instructors from the Yong-In Tae Kwon Do dojo had a male pinned to the ground. During the course of their investigation, deputies learned the instructors were notified of yelling next door. The instructors went next door where they observed a male attempting to sexually assault a female. They were able to pull the female away from her attacker. The male then turned to attack the good samaritans. By utilizing their training and discipline, they managed to stop the assault and hold him. Deputies obtained charges for attempted sexual assault and unlawful detention on behalf of the survivor and assault on behalf of the instructors."The family consists of Grandmaster Han An — the dad — as well as Hong An — the mom — and siblings Hannah An, 22, Simon An, 20, and Christian An, 18, KHOU-TV reported. They all hold at least 4th-degree black belts in taekwondo, with their dad boasting an 8th-degree black belt.Simon An told the station his family members were coming back from lunch around 4 p.m. when they heard screaming coming from the Cricket Wireless store, which is located near to their training center in the Cypress area.Hannah An told KHOU that when they opened the doors, she "saw a man on top of a woman, and the woman was on the ground." Simon An told NBC News the attacker's hands were “in [in]appropriate places” as the female tried to fend him off.Grandmaster An immediately took down the male suspect, KHOU said, adding that Simon An and Christian An stepped up as well.'My dad is strong. He expected us to protect him,' Simon An added to NBC News. 'He had a lot of trust in us.'Of their dad's skills, Simon An told KHOU that his father "just kept him in the corner, he just kept pushing down." Hannah An called it "automatic self-defense, automatic taekwondo style," KHOU reported.Simon An told NBC News that "the intruder was trying to run away — scratching, biting, anything he could do," but Grandmater An held down the attacker for 10 minutes until law enforcement arrived.“My dad is strong. He expected us to protect him,” Simon An added to NBC News. “He had a lot of trust in us.”Hannah An shared with the station that she and her mother, Hong An, took the female to their training center: "Making sure that she's OK because she needed that after that experience, after that situation that happened out of nowhere."Gonzalez told KHOU that 19-year-old Alex Robinson was arrested and charged with attempted sexual assault, unlawful detention, and assault on the instructors.Robinson appeared in probable cause court overnight on the sexual assault charge, the station said, adding that a defense attorney asked for a low bond, claiming Robinson is indigent and has mental health concerns. The judge set his bond at $100,000, KHOU said.The following day, the station said students surrounded Grandmaster An, who didn't seem rattled by the experience: "I'm very proud of my family."Hannah An told KHOU she isn't dwelling on the "heroes" accolade, either: "I thank everybody who's calling us that, but still, I think anybody can do it."Simon An added to the station he's grateful his family's martial arts skills could help: "You wouldn’t really expect it in an everyday situation, but when the time comes, it’s very valuable."You can view KHOU's interview with members of the An family here.

A woman in Florida may soon be fired from her job with the Broward County school district after she apparently allowed her son to play on the girls' volleyball team at his high school.Last November, Jessica Norton was one of several members of the faculty and staff at Monarch High School near Fort Lauderdale to be reassigned to jobs at "non-school sites" after then-Superintendent Peter Licata discovered that a boy may have been playing on the school's girls' volleyball team, as Blaze News previously reported. 'I saw the light in my daughter’s eyes gleam with future plans of organizing and attending prom, participating and leading senior class traditions, speaking at graduation, and going off to college.'That boy turned out to be Norton's son, though she routinely refers to him as her "daughter." She also indicated that his name and gender have both been legally changed, and Florida law does permit minors to legally change their gender on birth certificates and driver's licenses so long as they have parental consent, according to the National Center for Transgender Equality.However, another Floridian law, the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, signed into law in 2021, forbids biological males like Norton's son from joining sports teams reserved for women and girls. Not only did Norton apparently violate this statute by knowingly permitting her son, now 16, to play on the girls' team, but she also allegedly kept his gender listed as "female" on school records and checked "female" on a form asking about his sex at birth.Norton was an information management specialist at Monarch as well as the school's junior varsity volleyball coach, though whether her son played on her team or another volleyball team is unclear. She was then transferred to a district facility where she was assigned janitorial tasks in defiance of a district collective bargaining agreement which requires her to be given clerical work comparable to her original position, she alleged.Meanwhile, an initial district investigation into whether she violated the FWSA failed to clear her of wrongdoing, escalating her case to a professional standards committee. In March, that committee recommended that Norton receive a 10-day suspension, but then-Superintendent Licata and current Superintendent Howard Hepburn overruled that decision and recommended termination instead.The Broward County School Board was scheduled to consider her termination at a meeting on Tuesday, but that agenda item was pulled a few days before. No explanation for the last-minute change was given.Nevertheless, Norton and her husband, Gary, attended the meeting where Norton proceeded to sing her own praises. "I don’t have to tell you about all the heart that I bring to the Monarch High School community. The public statements of support that you have received on my behalf tell the story of who I am and what I have meant to countless students, colleagues, and families at Monarch High School," she gushed.She also congratulated herself on how well she has handled the investigation into her alleged FWSA violation. "For 203 days, I have been forthright and honest," said the woman who calls her son a girl, "and have not been treated with a shred of respect or simple decency."She even cast herself as the "hero" in her son's transgender drama. "It’s all right if I’m the villain in [the administration's] story because I am the hero in my daughter's story," she averred.Norton also spent considerable time explaining how her son was "flourishing" at Monarch High while masquerading as a girl. "I saw the light in my daughter’s eyes gleam with future plans of organizing and attending prom, participating and leading senior class traditions, speaking at graduation, and going off to college with the confidence and joy that any student like her would after a successful and enriching high school experience," she claimed.That "light was extinguished" when her son was "outed" as transgender last fall, Norton insisted. "Not one person in the District who is responsible for her checked-in on her safety or well-being," she complained. "They claim to care about all students but they didn’t care about my child."Norton's fate with the district is now scheduled to be considered at the school board meeting next month. Her son, whose identity has not been released, currently attends virtual school. Norton also has two older children. Their genders are unknown.Like Blaze News?

Depending on how much time you spend on the most popular video-sharing site in the world, a YouTube Premium subscription could be a worthwhile purchase. That said, the $13.99 price tag in the US is a touch steep, which is why some people are using VPNs to take advantage of the service's regional pricing by signing up after changing their location. While YouTube Premium costs $13.99 a month in the US, it's far cheaper in other countries. For instance, a subscription costs just 869 ARS in Argentina, which is less than $1 USD. In India, it's only 129 INR ($1.54), and in Ukraine, it's 99 UAH ($2.44). It's a clever workaround, but one that YouTube has seemingly started cracking down on. In a Reddit thread this week (via Android Authority), Redditor Alopez1024 shared a screenshot of an email from YouTube letting them know that their YouTube Premium subscription had been canceled. They claim that they didn't cancel the subscription manually or change their payment information. In other words, YouTube canceled the subscription for them. Several other users responded, noting that their accounts had also been canceled after signing up from locations other than where they actually live. "Confirmed it's a crackdown on cheap VPN subscriptions," said McNuggetty. "Have just spoken to customer service who stated that as I "moved" to a different location from the one I signed up at (Ukraine but UK based), the service has been cancelled until I sign up with a UK card and address. From £2.30 a month to £12.99. Yikes...." During the writing of this article, YouTube confirmed the crackdown on VPN users. Here's what a YouTube spokesperson told TechCrunch on Thursday: To provide the most accurate plans and offers available, we have systems in place to determine the country of our users In instances where the signup country does not match where the user is accessing YouTube, we’re asking members to update their billing information to their current country of residence. Some users said that their accounts are still active despite using a VPN to sign up, but it sounds like it's only a matter of time before YouTube forces everyone to subscribe from the country they live in. Be on the lookout if you used this method to sign up.
