There is an effort under way across Canada to replicate American red states' success in bolstering parental rights. The province of Saskatchewan ratified a parental bill of rights in October. New Brunswick now requires teachers to obtain parental consent before humoring students' cross-sex delusions. Alberta is poised to pass wide-sweeping policies and legislation that would not only prohibit children from undergoing sex-change mutilations and taking puberty blockers but would also keep parents abreast of their kids' efforts to transition at school and bar men from women's sports. Radical LGBT activists‚ teachers' unions‚ and other champions of putting greater distance between parents and children are desperately fighting this campaign to strengthen parental rights. A socialist lawmaker in Ottawa recently gave away the thinking at the heart of their efforts: There were never any parental rights to begin with. Randall Garrison‚ an NDP member of Parliament and an Israel-Hamas ceasefire advocate‚ is a non-straight LGBT activist who has condemned provincial efforts to strengthen parental rights and protect children from unnecessary‚ irreversible‚ and disfiguring medical interventions. When asked about Alberta's planned legislation‚ Garrison‚ who apparently supports so-called "gender-affirming care" at any age but not "cosmetic surgeries on intersex children‚" said the quiet part out loud. "I like to say‚ first of all‚ that there's no such thing as parental rights in Canada‚" said Garrison. "There are parental responsibilities. And in Canadian family law‚ the primary responsibility of parents is to support and affirm their kids." "Children have rights in Canada‚" continued the LGBT activist‚ "and these kind of policies restrict the rights that children have in Canada." — (@) Alberta is planning to ban the removal of genitals and healthy breasts on minors under the age of 17 as well as the provision of irreversible puberty blockers and hormone therapies to children 15 and younger — transmogrifying procedures Garrison apparently figures that children‚ alternatively unable to legally drink‚ get tattoos‚ or drive‚ should have a right to. The province would further require parental notification and consent for a school to alter the name or pronouns of a child under the age of 15. For kids 16 and 17‚ the schools won't need permission but will nevertheless be required to notify the parents. Additionally‚ parents would have the opportunity to opt their children out whenever a teacher plans to reach about so-called gender identity‚ sexual orientation‚ or sexuality‚ according to state media. Finally‚ Alberta would bar male transvestites from participating in women's sports leagues. Garrison's dismissal of parental rights echoes similar claims made in the U.S.‚ not all of which have to do with the LGBT agenda. In 2021‚ Kyle B. Brother‚ a professor of pediatrics at the University of Louisville School of Medicine and the chief scientific officer at the Norton Children's Research Institute‚ and Ellen Wright Clayton‚ a health policy professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center‚ penned an article for Politico entitled‚ "The Dangerous Legal Illusion of 'Parental Rights.'" "When it comes to society's interest in protecting children‚ the legal precedent is unambiguous: The rights of their parents come second‚" wrote the professors. "Parents do have the freedom to direct the health care and education of their children‚ but these rights are not unlimited." Brother and Clayton argued that children can‚ for example‚ be required to wear masks and undergo vaccinations even if parents are not on board. The academics nearly offered Garrison's assessment word for word‚ writing‚ "We should spend less time thinking about the rights we claim for ourselves and more time thinking about our responsibilities to protect our children." Other leftists have sought to undermine the concept of parental rights by claiming collective responsibility and state ownership over children. In an April speech‚ President Joe Biden quoted a teacher as saying‚ "'There's no such thing as someone else's child.'" The geriatric Democrat proceeded to say‚ "No such thing as someone else's child. Our nation's children are all our children." The notion that children are effectively wards of the state has been codified in California and other Democratic states where authorities are legally required to refuse to reunite runaway children with their parents if the kids are looking to undergo sex-change mutilations.

CNN legal expert Elie Honig fact-checked President Joe Biden for denying key facts established in special counsel Robert Hur's investigation.At a press conference held late Thursday‚ Biden denied that he shared classified information with his ghostwriter‚ Mark Zwonitzer — screaming at NBC News correspondent Gabe Gutierrez for daring to ask him Hur's about allegations — and claimed that Hur concluded that he did not break the law. The claims left Honig astonished because they're not true."Here are the facts‚" Honig said afterward on CNN. "Joe Biden retained sensitive‚ classified documents after he left the vice presidency ... marked classified — highest level‚ top secret SCI. They related to our international affairs‚ to war plans‚ to foreign relations. He knew it. He knew it. He's on tape‚ after he's out of the vice presidency‚ saying to his autobiographer‚ 'The classified documents are in the basement.' He knew it.""That is what blew my mind about Joe Biden's statement‚" Honig exclaimed.Honig‚ a former federal prosecutor‚ explained:There are two things he said that are completely the opposite of what Robert Hur found. First‚ Joe Biden says‚ "I did not act willfully." Willfully just means voluntarily‚ intentionally. Well‚ the second sentence of this whole summary says‚ "President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials." The facts in here show it was willful. He knew. He talked about it. And the second thing he says is‚ "I did not disclose classified documents to my ghostwriter." Page three says that he did that. It says‚ "Mr. Biden shared information‚ including some classified information from those notebooks with his ghostwriter." — (@) Later in the broadcast‚ Honig explained why Biden's case helps Trump‚ both politically and legally."Let me tell you two ways it's helpful. One is just atmospherically‚ right? We've all seen a thousand times the photos of documents strewn around the bathroom in the stage of Mar-a-Lago. Now there's similar-looking photos in this report‚" he began."But here's the technical way that Donald Trump's team is going to use this. Mark my words‚" Honig promised.According to Honig‚ Trump "has a basis" to bring a motion for selective prosecution in his own classified documents case because Biden "did essentially the same thing" that Trump is accused of doing. Such motions‚ however‚ are difficult to win‚ Honig noted.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Police said a St. Louis-area Wendy's employee physically attacked a drive-thru customer after an argument earlier this week‚ KPLR-TV reported — but that ain't the half of what the suspect is accused of.In short‚ the worker allegedly punched the customer through his driver-side window‚ stole the victim's car‚ returned to the scene and hit the victim with the car‚ and bit two cops.Then there was the whole hammer thing.What are the details?Police in Overland — which is about 20 minutes northwest of St. Louis — headed to the restaurant in the 8900 block of Page Avenue after a report of a fight in progress Monday‚ KPLR-TV reported.The victim told officers that he got into an argument with the employee while in the drive-thru lane‚ the station said.The victim said the employee — later identified as 27-year-old Leon S. Johnson — exited the restaurant and began punching him through his open car window‚ KMOV-TV reported.The victim told police he grabbed a hammer from his car and began swinging it at Johnson to get him to back off‚ KPLR said‚ adding that the victim soon exited his car with the hammer — but then Johnson got in the victim’s car and drove off.KSDK-TV reported‚ citing court documents‚ that Johnson soon returned to the restaurant and hit the customer with the car‚ knocking the hammer out of the customer's hand. Johnson then got out of the car‚ picked up the hammer‚ and began to hit the car's front windshield‚ KSDK added. The KPLR report indicates Johnson hit the victim with the hammer.The customer suffered a "laceration on his lip and multiple contusions to his face‚" police told KSDK‚ which added that officers said Johnson admitted to taking the victim’s car and hitting him with it. Police also said Johnson bit two officers who tried to arrest him‚ KSDK added. Jail records indicate the arrest took place just after 9 p.m.It's unclear what the victim and Johnson were arguing about‚ KSDK added.The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Johnson with first-degree assault‚ first-degree tampering with a motor vehicle‚ third-degree assault‚ second-degree property damage‚ resisting arrest for a felony‚ and two counts of fourth-degree assault‚ KSDK said‚ adding that all the charges are felonies.Johnson was jailed on a $500‚000 cash-only bond‚ KSDK noted. He remained in jail as of Friday morning. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

The Federal Trade Commission in 2017 challenged a proposed merger between DraftKings and FanDuel‚ the two largest providers of fantasy sports contests. Regulators argued that the merger would reduce consumer competition‚ limit choices‚ and violate antitrust laws by granting a near-monopoly to one corporate behemoth. Although that merger never moved forward‚ those same two companies now appear to be behaving as an anti-competitive duopoly — and their coordinated efforts could jeopardize the integrity of the fantasy sports industry that the American people have come to know and love. Limiting competition and choice in such a popular industry would be a major fumble — one that 50 million Americans who play fantasy sports games will not soon forget. Fantasy sports have grown by leaps and bounds over the last decade. Over 50 million Americans now enjoy playing fantasy games‚ and the increase in players has allowed other companies to enter the market with their own versions of fantasy games. However‚ in a story as old as time‚ the two largest companies in the market‚ DraftKings and FanDuel‚ are now using their market power to stifle their upstart competitors. The Sports Betting Alliance‚ which represents DraftKings and FanDuel‚ is lobbying state officials to categorize their new competitors’ games as forms of unlicensed (and thus illegal) online gambling. They argue that their rivals’ games represent luck-driven gambling‚ not games of the fantasy variety — skill-based contests won through knowledge of sports history and statistics. These arguments are simply not true. Not much separates DraftKings’ and FanDuel’s fantasy games from those of their rivals. DraftKings and FanDuel allow consumers to build a team based on the expected performances of the players in real-life games. Their marketplace competitors’ games are more focused on the individual performances of the players participants select. It’s a distinction without a difference. Nevertheless‚ some states have still responded to the lobbying solicitations they have received from the Sports Betting Alliance by sending cease-and-desist letters or otherwise heavily scrutinizing these new‚ popular fantasy sports companies. Market economies are most successful when competition can flourish. It keeps prices down and improves the quality and selection of goods and services available to consumers. It also fosters innovation and efficiency‚ leading to better choices and enhanced customer experiences. Muscling highly popular upstart fantasy sports companies out of the marketplace would do the opposite. That is in no one’s interest but their competitors. In the movie “Tucker: The Man and His Dream‚” innovator Preston Tucker attempted to market an innovative new car for Americans‚ but the three largest automakers successfully used their lobbying power to destroy his operations. In doing so‚ not only did they put Tucker out of business‚ but they also stifled adoption of many of his ideas‚ from seatbelts and fuel injection to disc brakes‚ for many years to come. A similar scenario will inevitably play out in the fantasy sports industry if regulators continue moving forward with DraftKings and FanDuel’s regulatory agendas. February should represent Super Bowl season‚ not corporate welfare season. Regulators and those in charge of protecting marketplace competition should not allow a couple of established fantasy sports corporations to twist interpretations of the law to their benefit. Limiting competition and consumer choice in such a popular industry would be a major fumble — one that the 50 million Americans who play fantasy sports games will not soon forget. Here’s hoping federal and state decision-makers are listening.

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach is turning up the heat on "troublesome districts" that have doubled-down on policies allegedly allowing schools to "socially transition" students without parental consent. The Republican AG has narrowed the remaining offenders down to a handful of districts‚ which he appears keen to rein in. "A child changing his or her gender identity has major long-term medical and psychological ramifications‚" Kobach said in a statement Thursday. "Parents should know‚ and have an opportunity to be involved in such an important aspect of their well-being." According to the Washington Examiner‚ Kobach used Parents Defending Education's list of parental exclusion policies to pinpoint offending districts in Kansas. After drilling down on each district's policies and weighing their constitutionality‚ Kobach identified six school districts that were allegedly undermining parental rights. The Republican AG penned letters to the districts in December‚ specifically challenging policies that require school staff to hide a student's transvestism or "gender non-conforming" status from their parents‚ reported the Associated Press. The letters accused the districts of surrendering "to woke gender ideology" and stressed it "would be arrogant beyond believe to hide something with such weighty consequences from the very people (parents) that both law and nature vest with providing for a child's long-term well-being." Kobach indicated Thursday that upon notifying the districts and asking whether they had collected parental input prior to adopting the radical policies‚ two districts — Belle Plaine and Maize — "responded that they had no intention of cutting parents out of the process and immediately rescinded or amended their polices." "A lot of times these policies are pushed by outside activist organizations and adopted by school boards without being fully informed about what the policy would actually do‚" said Kansas Deputy Attorney General Abhishek Kambli. "Belle Plaine and Maize should be praised for responding swiftly when they saw what was going on." Three of the four other districts — Kansas City‚ Shawnee Mission‚ and Topeka — refused to back down on keeping parents in the dark‚ according to Kobach. The Olathe School District alternatively appears to have had a change of heart this week. The attorney general noted on X that the OSD has scheduled a meeting to discuss its policy. OSD said in a statement obtained by KSHB-TV that they had developed "internal administrative guidelines" for staff‚ but that no formal policy has ever existed. The OSD's "Guidance Related to Gender Identity‚" obtained by Parents Defending Education via a public records request‚ states the "best practice is for staff to obtain parental consent before addressing the student publicly by their preferred name and/or pronoun." However‚ it goes on qualify such disclosures‚ noting instances where parents could be left in the dark. "Staff must be carefully to refrain from incautious disclosure of a student's gender status and/or sexual orientation. Informing the decision to disclose to a parent/guardian are considerations related to the age of the student; whether the student has developmental disabilities; protecting the privacy interests of the student; whether the communications with the parent would cause trauma to the student‚ and a fear for the child's health as a result of the communication‚" says the guidance. If a child expressed delusions about their sex‚ teachers in the Shawnee Mission School District are apparently required to notify the principal‚ who in turn "meets with the student to share support and gauge the level of family involvement." The Kansas City Kansas Public Schools' guidance that the PDE has on file states‚ "School personnel should not disclose information that may reveal a student's transgender status or gender or gender nonconforming presentation to others‚ including parents and other school personnel‚ unless legally required to do so or unless the student has authorized such disclosure." Topeka Public Schools' revised 2018 guidance echoes the KCKPS recommendations. Topeka told the AP that its practices are legal. Shawnee Mission superintendent Michelle Hubbard claimed Kobach was relying on "misinformation" from "partisan sources" and indicated she took offense to his use of woke "as an insult." KCKPS declined the AP's request for comment. The other outliers claimed they handled gender dysphoric students on a case by case basis and seek to work with parents. "Parental exclusion policies purposely tarnish relationships between parents and children‚" Caroline Moore‚ vice president of Parents Defending Education‚ said in a statement. "Kansas is a great example of recognizing an issue that impacts all and correcting course‚ so these policies don't plague another generation of students and their families." Like Blaze News?

A California elementary school principal was recently placed on leave over allegations she “pretended to shoot” her students during an unauthorized and disturbing active shooter drill on Wednesday‚ KTLA reported.Nina Denson‚ the principal of Washington Elementary School in San Gabriel‚ was reportedly forced to take administrative leave after witnesses claimed she staged a mock drill where she pretended to shoot children by making finger-gun gestures.According to one parent‚ Jennifer Chavez‚ “[Denson] proceeded to walk around campus and pretended to shoot people she saw using finger movements and banging on windows.”“From what I heard‚ she said to one of the students‚ ‘Boom. You’re dead‚’” Chavez added.Denson joined the school staff as principal in Fall 2023‚ but now‚ parents are calling for her to be permanently removed from her position‚ claiming her alleged actions during the recent incident were inappropriate and even traumatizing for young children. Students as young as 4 reportedly witnessed the drill.Chavez stated that her son‚ who is in the first grade‚ “was really upset.”“The one shocking‚ surprising thing he said as a 6-year-old was‚ ‘I’m just really glad none of my friends died‚’” Chavez told KTLA.“I don’t want her back here at all‚” Chavez continued. “She does not have the trust of the community.”According to other school employees‚ after the drill concluded‚ Denson made an announcement declaring that seven children were dead.Another parent‚ Anna Bustamante‚ told the news outlet‚ “Can you imagine the trauma these children potentially could go through just thinking‚ ‘Oh my God‚ my friend was killed’ or ‘I was shot and told I died.’”“At the young age that these children are‚ it was very upsetting‚” she noted.The San Gabriel Unified School District’s superintendent‚ Jim Symonds‚ stated that the district did not authorize the mock drill.“This type of drill where a scenario was run is not approved by the district nor part of our district protocol‚” he said.Parents received a letter from district officials that claimed‚ “The conduct of the drill does not appear to have been in line with District protocols or best practices.” The district also announced that a veteran teacher at the school will serve as interim principal while an investigation into the incident is underway. Counselors were on the school campus to provide their services to students and staff‚ officials told KTLA.Like Blaze News?

Democrats are panicking about the political fallout from special counsel Robert Hur's report detailing his investigation into Biden's classified documents scandal.The report explains that Hur ultimately chose not to prosecute Biden — despite the technical elements of criminality being met — because he did not think prosecutors could win the case. The chief reason for his doubt‚ Hur explained‚ is because he believes that "Biden would likely present himself to a jury‚ as he did during our interview of him‚ as a sympathetic‚ well-meaning‚ elderly man with a poor memory."That line is proving to be devastating to an 81-year-old commander in chief whose No. 1 political liability is his age.Behind closed doors‚ Democrats are not ignorant to the political ramifications of Hur's report and its shocking revelations about Biden's memory‚ especially in a week where Biden claimed multiple times that he spoke with dead world leaders."This is beyond devastating‚" one Democratic operative told NBC News. "It confirms every doubt and concern that voters have. If the only reason they didn't charge him is because he’s too old to be charged‚ then how can he be president of the United States?" that strategist added.Another Democratic strategist told NBC News that Thursday was "the worst day of his presidency."A House Democrat‚ who spoke anonymously‚ told NBC that "it's a nightmare" because Hur's report "weakens President Biden electorally.""For Democrats‚ we're in a grim situation‚" that House Democrat admitted.Democratic strategist Paul Begala‚ meanwhile‚ said publicly what other Democrats are saying behind closed doors."Look‚ I'm a Biden supporter‚ and I slept like a baby last night: I woke up every two hours crying and wet the bed‚" Begala said on CNN. "This is terrible for Democrats‚ and anybody with a functioning brain knows that."Finally‚ Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) rebuked Biden for how he conducted himself during Thursday's chaotic late-night press conference."I'm a senior Democratic politician. I've been doing this for a long time. That's not the way you want to do it. OK? I think we can all agree on that‚" Smith said. "He was angry. He was frustrated by what came out. There was not a prepared‚ clear agenda."Like Blaze News?

In almost all Hollywood blockbusters coming out these days‚ men are being displayed as incompetent and lazy. Meanwhile‚ actresses like Brie Larson have been chosen to outshine these once legendary characters like Indiana Jones‚ Iron Man‚ and the Hulk. “Hollywood seems to genuinely hate men‚” Lauren Chen says‚ who admits she is “not a fan of the obvious feminist propaganda that seems to be a part of almost every single TV show and film nowadays.” While Chen doesn’t believe there’s anything wrong with female empowerment or being pro-women‚ there is something wrong with the way Hollywood is going about it. “It’s not just pro-women‚ it’s actively anti-man‚ and those are two very different things‚” she explains‚ adding‚ “you don’t need to tear one gender down in order to lift up the other.” The most notable way Hollywood tears men down is by having “weak and sidelined male characters” in a lot of reboots of popular franchises. "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" is one of the most recent examples of this‚ as historically‚ Indiana Jones was portrayed as strong‚ moral‚ and intelligent. “Fast forward to 'Dial of Destiny' and instead‚ we see the once great Dr. Jones as easily overshadowed by his goddaughter‚” Chen explains‚ noting that Jones isn’t the only male character who's been turned weak. Obi-Wan Kenobi from the "Star Wars" franchise was a hero who now has his own series on Disney+. However‚ his character in the new series couldn’t be farther from what he once was. And a lot of it has to do with who’s in charge. “We’ve gotten to a point in society where discrimination against men is just so common and accepted that studios won’t even hide the fact that they were specifically looking for females to be in charge of certain films‚” Chen says.

Progressives who want Gavin Newsom to replace an aging president and an uninspiring vice president at the top of their 2024 ticket are in danger of throwing their “backbone” out of alignment. Democrats can’t afford to alienate black women‚ their most loyal voter base. The party’s official X account recently tweeted‚ “Black women are the backbone of the Democratic Party.” That’s why picking Newsom over Kamala Harris would be a slap in the face to the women who cried tears of joy and danced in the streets when “Uncle Joe” won the White House. The prospect of unhappy black women sitting out the 2024 election isn’t the only cause for concern. No one in the party wants to spend the next nine months reading op-eds from the New York Times‚ Washington Post‚ and the Atlantic with the following theme: “Kamala Harris lost her job to a less qualified white man. Many black women can relate.” The reason this is even a possibility is that whispers from Washington insiders about moving on from the current president are likely to become much louder following a lengthy investigation into the president’s handling of classified documents. Special counsel Robert Hur found that Joe Biden willfully retained classified information but recommended that he not face criminal charges. I’m sure the president is relieved from a legal standpoint‚ but the report served as chum in the waters of Washington politics. At one point in his report‚ Hur described the current commander in chief as a “sympathetic‚ well-meaning‚ elderly man with a poor memory.” The short press conference Biden held Thursday night to address the special counsel’s findings led to more questions about his mental fitness‚ especially after he confused the presidents of Egypt and Mexico. Who succeeds Biden? Concerns about Biden’s cognitive decline are not new. The much more interesting question is whether his party will replace him on the Democratic ticket and‚ if so‚ with whom. If Democrats decide to ditch Biden‚ the most logical choice to replace him is Vice President Kamala Harris. She is already celebrated by the left as the first African-American and woman to hold that position. The chance to elect the first female president seems like a dream scenario for the identitarian left. Democrats‚ however‚ don’t seem interested in a ticket led by Harris. That’s one reason California Governor Gavin Newsom is the name consistently floated as Biden’s replacement. Newsom may look the part and poll well‚ but the party of diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion can’t afford to be seen kicking a black woman to the curb for its ultimate boogeyman: another straight‚ white male. The women who have been pumping themselves up as the saviors of democracy would pitch a fit if the current vice president were leapfrogged by the current governor of California. The only person who has the experience‚ name recognition‚ cultural capital‚ and complexion for protection needed to send Kamala Harris to the bench is Michelle Obama. A few Harris supporters and surrogates would cry foul‚ but the party and the black community would quickly move on. Unfortunately for the left‚ the prospect of unhappy black women sitting out the 2024 election isn’t the only cause for concern. Losing the hip-hop vote Rumors of “MAGA-mentum” growing among black men may be overblown‚ but polls and political pundits seem to show the Democrats are struggling to connect with their second-most loyal voter base. It’s also clear that progressives are having a hard time keeping some of their reliable allies in line. For years‚ Democrats have relied on athletes and entertainers to encourage black voters to support their candidates and policy priorities. LeBron James campaigned with Hillary Clinton in 2016. The dating app BLK partnered with Cash Money rapper Juvenile to turn the popular song “Back That Thang Up” into a Fauci-approved call to “Vax That Thang Up.” For context‚ BLK is the same company that partnered with Michelle Obama’s voting initiative to put out the “No Voting‚ No Vucking” ad featuring an overweight transvestite and aging Miami rapper using sex to lure black men to the polls.Put simply‚ Democrats depend on black entertainers to help reach black voters. I have been very public with my criticism of the violence and hypersexuality in hip-hop‚ but I must admit enjoying the progressive weeping and gnashing of teeth that ensue every time a rapper goes rogue. Sexyy Red and Snoop Dogg expressed their admiration and support for Donald Trump. Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill tweeted his intention to watch Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin and said he listens to Candace Owens. 50 Cent criticized Mayor Eric Adams about New York City’s plan to give illegal aliens debit cards. Atlanta rapper Killer Mike upset progressives in 2022 when he didn’t endorse Stacey Abrams for governor. He caused a similar stir recently by refusing to endorse Joe Biden. These are all signs of serious trouble for Democrats. They are losing control of their political narratives and their most loyal voters. Many are tired of the shameless pandering from politicians‚ whether they are kneeling in kente cloth in the U.S. Capitol or talking about how they keep hot sauce in their pocketbooks. It’s one thing for black men to vote for Trump in significant numbers‚ but it’s another altogether if the party’s backbone starts to bend in the wrong direction.

Harris also noted that Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur came a day after the October 7 Hamas attack against Israel.
