If we eliminated half of all journalists no one would notice, if we eliminated half of all truck drivers the economy would collapse. Yet no profession praises itself more and matters less than journalists.

2023. Joy Reid: "Let me be clear, I got into Harvard only because of affirmative action."
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...
...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.
Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.
His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska.
Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.
He is doing the job. For free.
All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."
So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.
And in April, the city rejected him. Why?
Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.
That's it. That's the whole disqualification.
Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!
...how he was educated.
The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."
That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.
And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.
His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:
"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."
Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.
And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.
Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.
And this young man is the proof.
At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.
When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.
You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.
You will thank GOD he came.
Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:
"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."
That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.
Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.
Fix this.
Hire him!!!!!!!
🚨 BREAKING: A principal in Pennsylvania just drew a line and didn’t blink.
Students tried to stage an anti ICE walkout during school hours.
Daniel Weber walked straight outside and shut it down.
His message was simple. You want to protest on school time? You’re suspended.
That’s called leadership.
Schools are for learning. Not activist field trips. Not political theater.
Parents send their kids to get an education, not to join street rallies in the middle of the day.
More backbone like this.
Less chaos.
More adults in the room. 🇺🇸
1. Never happens.
2. If it happens, the paedophile isn't trans.
3. The real crime here is the deadnaming.
4. TERFs love it when this stuff happens.
5. OMG why do you even care?
A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures.
The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019.
A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years.
Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture.
The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment.
Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls.
"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded.
Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls.
The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges.
The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway.
How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?
Age limits for elected office is one of the most reasonable, uncontroversial, common sense policies that has no discernible downside and would attract wide approval from both liberals and conservatives. You could even set the cap high, like age 80, and remove any possible argument against it while still solving a significant chunk of the problem. But it will never happen because the politicians themselves would have to put the policy in place. And they won't do anything that limits their ability to cling to power, even to their dying breath.

Let's talk Kahlil Benson. I know we've seen the 1/32 pressure numbers, and 0 against Bonitto. Is that legit? Is that grade reflective of his true performance? Did we see enough to think that will carry forward for more games? Let's dive in and discuss:

Gov. Maura Healey pushes back at parents whose daughter was removed by the state saying the parents are “incorrect” and the involvement was actually connected to criminal charges against them
Massachusetts parents say their teenage daughter was removed from their home after a dispute over her gender identity.
According to the parents, they objected to their daughter being treated as a boy and say her school had already taken steps toward a social transition without informing them
2 selfies, 4+ years apart. In the first one, I was 17, less than a year into detransition, with no future aspirations. I could not have predicted how the grace of the Lord would transform my life, or the power my testimony would have. A gentle reminder to have faith and patience.
I still cannot comprehend what happened last night. The Broncos returned 50/53 players from their AFC Championship team and added Jaylen Waddle. Truly shocking their lack of preparedness and execution.
Mahomes is exactly who I thought he was, nothing special w/ clear regression playing with average WR's who can't separate, a semi-retired podcast TE, and an untalented defense. You could've replaced Mahomes with Justin Fields and you'd get the same outcome.
