#16: TODDLER DRAG QUEEN WORKSHOPS WITH "MAKE UP" SESSIONS
Netflix Antifa propaganda film inspired New Years riots + Taliban release Afghanistan's first "super car" + saying "field work" is racist + MORE!
DRAG MAKEUP FOR KIDS IN FRANCE
A 3-year-old and up drag queen story hour in France will have performers “splendidly” apply makeup to children.
On January 21-22, 2023, the drag performance company “Broadway French” will tell stories at the Lamballe-Armor Municipal Library.
Apparently men reading stories to children while dressed up as women isn’t enough anymore. Putting makeup on boys is presumably the next step.
“Listen to the beautiful stories told by the irresistible drag queens of the Broadway French company. And if you wish, you will leave splendidly made up...” writes the library.
NETFLIX ANTIFA PROPAGANDA FILM SPARKED BERLIN NEW YEARS RIOTS
As Berlin reels from a bad hangover due to widespread New Years Eve rioting, some are questioning whether the nation’s youth were inspired by Netflix’s French film “Athena.”
Posts on TikTok repeatedly made reference to the film while the rioting was ongoing. The plot of the film is quite simple: it involves the death of a minority youth at the hands of French police and ensuing Antifa-style anarchist revenge fantasies.
“The videos that are publicly visible on TikTok are also mostly uploaded by minors. Commonly used hashtags are #Berlinbrennt, #Ausstaat, #Police Violence. But under some videos there is a hashtag that surprises: #Athena,” writes the German outlet Berliner Zeitung.
“According to TikTok, on New Year's Eve in Berlin, young people were also inspired by the action in "Athena". Except here it didn't stop at fan disguises or fantasies, it led to real destruction.”
TALIBAN REVEAL AFGHANISTAN’S FIRST “SPORTS CAR”
In an effort to clean up Afghanistan’s bleak international reputation, the Taliban have unveiled the nation’s first “sports car” prototype. And yes, it’s as bad as you’d expect.
Hilariously, they’re branding it as “indigineously built” and it will be called the ENTOP Mada 9.
Besides looking like a bad rip-off of a Corvette, it’s about as technically impressive as a Prius. Boasting a modified Toyota Corolla 1.8-litre inline 4-cylinder, you can bet this car won’t impress anybody on the track.
Even better, it took five years to design and allegedly involved dozens of car enthusiasts and engineers.
They’re expecting people to pay up to half a million dollars (40 million rupees) for this thing.
The fact that anybody is taking this seriously is astounding.
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY DEEMS “FIELD WORK” RACIST
The USC School of Social Work is banning the use of phrases like “field work” or “going into the field” after claiming the terms are too racist and indicative of white supremacy.
Talk about being completely ignorant of etymology or how language actually works.
Instead of “field work,” the university will require communications to refer only to “practicum” – because apparently the suffix “cum” isn’t offensive to anybody.
These are real quotes from a letter sent to staff:
“This change supports anti-racist social work practice by replacing language that could be considered anti-Black or anti-immigrant in favor of inclusive language,” wrote the department.
“(These phrases) may have connotations for descendants of slavery and immigrant workers that are not benign.”
Funny enough, I’m about a generation removed from descendants who worked in fields plowing and farming land – you know, real back-breaking labour – and it never crossed my mind to think of the terms as racist.
Buried in the dead centre of the letter is the true intention: to change language for the sake of the cultural revolution.
“In solidarity with universities across the nation, our goal is not just to change language but to honor and acknowledge inclusion…”
MATTEO SALVINI’S SON ROBBED BY EGYPTIAN MIGRANTS
Two men have been arrested by Italian police after mugging the son of Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and Lega Nord leader Matteo Salvini.
According to reports, 19-year-old Federico Salvini was threatened by the two men of Egyptian origin with a broken bottle in Milan a few days before Christmas.
The two men then proceeded to steal Salvini’s phone.
The 21-year-old and 26-year-old suspects have been taken into custody after police reviewed CCTV footage of the incident.
Salvini has been an outspoken critic of illegal immigration into Italy and his coalition government with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni have attempted to put a stop to the arrival of migrant boats.
BILL GATES AVOIDS QUESTIONS ABOUT JEFFREY EPSTEIN
Microsoft founder Bill Gates completely ignored questions from users about his ties to convicted billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein during a Reddit “ask me anything" thread.
Instead of discussing his repeated flights with the now-deceased child molester, Gates instead talked about his favourite band U2 and what TV shows he was watching.
“Why did you continue associating with Jeffrey Epstein after he was convicted of being a pedo? And against your then-wife’s advice and wishes?” asked one Reddit user.
According to reports, one of the reasons that influenced Melinda Gates’ decision to separate from Bill was because of his long-standing relationship with Epstein.
“I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, no. I made that clear to him,” his former wife said during an interview last year.
“He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. My heart breaks for these women.”
