Lead: Americans Being Sent To Middle East

Photo credit: x

The U.S. is sending more troops to the Middle East to prepare for a war to support Israel. The Oregon National Guard will send 230 guardsmen to Iraq and Syria, according to reports.

According to Antiwar.com, “the US has about 2,500 troops in Iraq and 900 troops occupying eastern Syria. The Oregon guardsmen are likely being sent out on a regular rotational deployment, but the move comes as the US beefs up its presence in the region.”

Why is the U.S. ramping up presence in the region?

To protect Israel from retaliation. Congress has not declared war but the military continues to prepare for one. The Defend the Guard Act would prevent the National Guard in any state from being deployed without a declaration of war but the Act has not become law in any state yet. You can support it in your state by visiting this site because no one should be sent to a war that is decided on by war hawks and is not in anyone’s best interest.

Trump and Elon Break The Internet

Elon Musk says that he would love to advise on a government board that controls government spending if President Trump is re-elected. President Trump’s response: “Love it. I would love it.”

If anyone succeeds and reigning in government spending, we’d love it too!

In a Live X Spaces conversation, Musk discussed how inflation is caused by government spending, which must be reigned in. He says that this should not be controversial, and he is quite correct.

Musk hosted the two-plus-hour conversation with the Republican candidate, which earned more than 1 billion listens. During the event, Musk was unequivocal about his support for Trump, saying, “You are the way to prosperity and Kamala is not.”

Still, Musk has extended the invitation to do a live X Spaces conversation to Vice President Harris. That is not likely because neither Harris nor her running mate Tim Walz have done unscripted interviews with the press since announcing their candidacy.

Lifetime Fitness Boycott

Customers are canceling their Lifetime Fitness membership after a trans-identified man insisted on using the men’s locker room at a gym in Missouri. After customers complained, women were scolded about calling the man a man.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has notified Lifetime that it was under investigation for criminal and civil liability and Lifetime has since canceled the membership of this man.

The man took to X to “report” about what it was like to use the women’s locker room. That in and of itself is a violation. A women’s locker room is not a place to report from. It is a place of privacy. He later complained that getting kicked out of the locker room was hateful. When his membership was canceled, police escorted him out and again he complained about that.

This man was living as a man until just April and he regularly posts about kink and other sexual exploits. He reportedly still intends to have his ID changed to legally recognize him as a woman so he can get back in that locker room.

You would think Lifetime Fitness would have learned from the Planet Fitness boycott earlier this year. The CEO of Planet Fitness admitted a significant drop in revenue in May after members cancelled their memberships to protest a man in the woman’s locker room. The man was reported by another woman and the company responded by canceling the woman’s membership for complaining.

$687,000. That is how much a court awarded a woman in a settlement after she sued Blue Cross Blue Shield because they fired her for not taking the Covid vaccine.

4.4. That was the magnitude of an earthquake that hit Los Angeles on Monday.

11. That is how many races 50 year old Valentina Petrillo won as a man. He transitioned to a “woman” in 2019 and will now be allowed to compete as a woman in the Paralympic Games.

UK’s New Education Indoctrination

Schools in England will begin to “educate” students on how to spot “extremism” in the aftermath of recent riots. The riots were in response to people’s anger at young girls being killed at a dance class but the government says that the rioters spread anti-immigration rhetoric and that it needs to teach children how to reject that.

According to The Telegraph, “schools will use lessons such as English, ICT (information and communication technology) and maths to ‘arm’ pupils against ‘putrid conspiracy theories, the Education Secretary has said. Bridget Phillipson told The Telegraph that pupils as young as five would be given the critical thinking skills to identify misinformation online under the new plans.”

Yes, the British government is so good at distinguishing “misinformation.” It proved that during the Covid pandemic, didn’t it? That’s sarcasm. This is Orwellian government propaganda drip fed through public education. It’s bollocks, that’s what it is.
