Ever play that game 6 degrees of separation to Kevin Bacon, where a person names an actor/actress and your have to bridge movies until you get a Kevin Bacon movie?
I just don't understand.
[FoxNews] The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado is encouraging cadets to apply for a fellowship program for "gender minorities" that specifies "cisgender" men need not apply.
The academy sent an email on Sept. 14 informing cadets that the 2023 application for the Brooke Owens Fellowship for "undergraduate women and gender minorities interested in aerospace" is due by Oct. 10.
The application on the fellowship’s website says, "If you are a cisgender man, this program isn’t for you."
"If you are a cisgender woman, a transgender woman, non-binary, agender, bigender, two-spirit, demigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, or another form of gender minority, this program is for you," the application states. "If you are a cisgender man, this program isn’t for you... but we encourage you to check out our spinoff programs, the Patti Grace Smith Fellowship and the Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship Program."
The USAFA’s email said the Brooke Owens Fellowship is a "nine-week paid internship at a leading aerospace company" and that any undergraduate who is a "woman or gender minority" is welcome to apply.
Another nine-week paid internship mentioned in the email, the Patti Grace Smith Fellowship, is only available for Black cadets pursuing aerospace careers.
Fox News Digital obtained the email from a concerned cadet who requested anonymity in order to avoid retaliatory measures/professional repercussions. The cadet alleged that the USAFA is hyper-focused on diversity and inclusion (D&I) instead of the military threats the country faces.
"It's a little worrying that we have more briefs about D&I than briefs about foreign adversaries, emerging technologies or current events across the world," the cadet said.
Fox News Digital reported Thursday that a D&I training by the USAFA instructs cadets to use words that "include all genders" and to refrain from saying things like "mom" and "dad."
The slide presentation titled, "Diversity & Inclusion: What it is, why we care, & what we can do," provided to Fox News Digital by Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., advises cadets to use "person-centered" and gender-neutral language when describing individuals.
"Some families are headed by single parents, grandparents, foster parents, two moms, two dads, etc.: consider ‘parent or caregiver’ instead of ‘mom and dad,'" the presentation states. "Use words that include all genders: ‘Folks’ or ‘Y’all’ instead of ‘guys’; ‘partner’ vs. ‘boyfriend or girlfriend.’"
"Not ‘Colorblind’ or ‘I don’t see color,’ but Color Conscious," it adds. "We see Color/Patterns AND VALUE people for their uniqueness."
Waltz, a Green Beret and Afghan War veteran, pointed out during an interview with Fox News Digital on Wednesday that "it's been a tradition in the military to get letters from mom and dad or your boyfriend and girlfriend for as long as there's been a military."
"Now we're instructing every cadet entering the Air Force to not say ‘mom’ and ‘dad,’ to not say ‘boyfriend’ or ‘girlfriend,’ and this kind of drive towards gender neutrality," he said. "I think the Air Force should be worried about the macro aggressions against America that are happening all over the world."
The USAFA also offers a "Cadet Wing Diversity and Inclusion Program," where graduates are given a purple rope to wear across their left shoulder "symbolizing their position as a diversity representative" so that they can "advise students on diversity," according to a press release.

I remember an excerpt from the The Killing Fields in Playboy (okay I read some of the articles back then) where the husband called his wife "Honey" instead of "Comrade" and was turned in by his child (!)... Madness.
Go choke on your chicken and waffle,
You woke walking dead I call "coffle,"
An Arabic word

Who think life in my Anglosphere's awful."

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Local Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... health officials in the southern Afghan province of Zabul said that at least 600 people have fallen ill with tuberculosis in the past few months.
Dr. Abdul Hakim Hakimi, the Taliban Director of Public Health in Zabul province told the media that the prevalence of tuberculosis has "unfortunately" increased in several villages and districts in Zabul province.
The Taliban health official further added that hundreds of people have contracted the disease in remote places of the province, stating that their treatment continues.
A clinic for the treatment of tuberculosis has been established by Doctors Without Borders in the province, where scores of patients are being treated, according to Zabul’s director of public health.
The tuberculosis-hit Zabul, according to local health officials, has also recorded cases of measles and acute watery diarrhea, mostly affecting children.
Although many children in Zabul have recovered from measles, several of them have reportedly died.
Currently, Afghanistan is dealing with various disease outbreaks, including Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD), measles, Congo fever, dengue fever, and Covid-19, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report.
While the financially strapped Taliban dominate the nation, Afghanistan continues to rely on foreign assistance, and international humanitarian aid, and the Afghan people are affected by the Taliban’s political isolation and international sanctions.

Now that's a minute of read time I'll never get back.
[Garowe] POLY-GCL Petroleum Group Holding Limited- a Chinese-based oil and gas exploration firm has had its canceled by the Æthiopian government over unfulfilled ultimatums.
According to Takele Uma Banti, Æthiopia’s Minister of Mines & Petroleum, the Chinese firm was issued with a list of conditions that they were supposed to meet in order to continue exploring the oil and gas Ogaden Basin, in the Somali regional state.
The government earlier this year issued a letter of an ultimatum with a list of conditions to POLY-GCL Petroleum Group Holding Limited that were to be met by the company relating to its activities in the oil resource-rich region.
According to a statement by on "Takele Uma Banti’s Twitter post "In accordance with the successive notices the Ministry has issued in the past and in full compliance with the PPSAs and the laws of the land, the termination has now been fully effected.1/2."
The Ministry warned the company that failing to comply with the ultimatum will result in the "termination of the PPSAs without a need for further notice."
Takele further added that "As long as the financing that would enable to develop the oil and gas fields the Ministry is open for mutual and expeditious settlement."
POLY-GCL has been exploring petroleum & natural gas in the Ogaden basin since 2013. On June 28, 2018, it officially started crude oil production tests in the Hilala oil fields in the presence of regional officials and representatives of the federal government.
The Chinese firm was praised as an important milestone in the history of oil & gas exploration in Æthiopia with Prime Minister Abiy terming it a successful venture for the country.
Four years later the government issued a warning letter to the company citing its failure to meet the government’s plans.
Britain formally lifts moratorium on fracking for shale gas that has been in place since 2019, saying strengthening country's energy supply "absolute priority”https://t.co/wBD4TRLmMs
Britannia on Thursday formally lifted a moratorium on fracking for shale gas that has been in place since 2019, saying strengthening the country's energy supply was an "absolute priority."
Business and Energy Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg said all sources of energy needed to be explored, "so it's right that we've lifted the pause to realize any potential sources of domestic gas."
Fracking, which involves extracting shale gas from rocks by breaking them up with water and chemicals at high pressure, was banned after the industry regulator said it was not possible to predict the magnitude of earthquakes it might trigger.
Under the rules, fracking operations were paused every time the practice caused an earthquake of 0.5 magnitude or higher, a level scientists said would need to be increased if Britannia is to develop a fracking industry.
A review of acceptable levels of seismic activity said on Thursday that limited exploration to date meant understanding of the risks was limited.
The government said that ending the ban would allow drilling to restart and more data to be gathered, building an understanding of how shale gas can be safely extracted where there was local support.

Good catch, Skidmark dear — I deserved that. Charles 2 tried to rule. Charles 3 is going to reign, initialing passed bills to make them official, cutting ribbons to open village fetes, and taking his mom’s yacht to distant lands to dine with their rulers.
[BruceWilds] As of Sept. 21, 2021, there were 132 cargo ships at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Dozens of container ships were anchored or adrift off the coast. As of Aug 30, 2022, that number has dwindled to only 8 ships waiting off Southern California. The end of goods backing up in ports on the west coast is a sign we are moving on. Danielle DiMartino Booth recently stated, "We have never seen the collapse of the magnitude that we are witnessing in imports. That is always a tail-tale sign that you are already looking through the rear-view mirror at recession."

[IsraelTimes] Police probing possible links to foreign forces of Evil after large-scale operation, say targets may have included parliament of small nation considered among world’s most peaceful.
Icelandic police said Thursday they had arrested four people in a large-scale operation linked to preparations of a "terrorist attack," thought to be the first-ever such arrests in the small Nordic island nation.
Speaking at a presser, police said several semi-automatic weapons, including 3D-printed ones, had been seized at nine different locations, as well as "thousands" of rounds of ammunition.
"The origin of the police operations yesterday... was in the context of an investigation into the preparation of a terrorist attack," Karl Steinar Valsson, National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police, told news hounds.
Four Icelanders in their 20s
..it’s not clear from this if they were named Sven or Mohammed...
were arrested in Kopavogur, a suburb of the capital Reykjavik, and the southwestern town of Mosfellsbaer in a large-scale operation on Wednesday involving some 50 men, police said.
Two of them had been ordered held in jug on Thursday.
While potential motives were unknown, the targets are believed to be "various institutions of society" and "citizens of the state," according to Valsson, possibly including the parliament and the police itself.
Police also said they were looking into where there were links between the men and Death Eater organizations and that they were in contact with foreign authorities.
"As far as we know, this is the first time that an investigation of this type has been launched [in Iceland]," Valsson said.
The small nation of 375,000 people has topped the Global Peace Index since it was included in the ranking in 2008 and is considered the "most peaceful country in the world."
Violence is rare, evidenced by one of the lowest crime rates in the world, although a surge in violent mostly peaceful crime in recent years has worried the authorities.
Local media reported that officers were exploring potential links to Nordic far-right groups and that the police were the central target.
One group that has been on the police radar in Iceland in recent years is the neo-Nazi organisation known as Norðurvígi, or the Nordic Resistance Movement.
The organisation has gained a foothold in Iceland and has an active website and has distributed pamphlets on the University of Iceland’s campus, among other sites.
The latest report of the Office of the Commissioner of the National Police on the threat of terrorism in Iceland, published last year, cited the pan-Nordic group as a threat.
“It is clear that the Nordic Resistance Movement falls under the groups of right-wing extremists that Norwegians and Swedes consider to be a cause for concern,” the report said.

This is why the globalist colony of UKR needs regime change. I am in the camp that all things globalist need to be destroyed.
The West trained the neo-nazis in ukr like the jiahadis in the ME. Like I said before, you can link various neo-nazi movements the world over with the neo-nazi training camps in ukr.
Nordic Resistance Movement is no different and can be linked to Azov. This is insidious. UKR Neo-nazis were in Charlottesville and Jan 6. The globalists are going to frame and associate all right wing groups that oppose their woke green-eco global communism with domestic neo-nazis that have been trained in ukr and who brought that knowledge home.

The West trained the neo-nazis in ukr like the jiahadis in the ME.
So did Russia, oddly enough alongside pro-Russia Ukrainian separatists. Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, Russian Imperial Movementers, and all the similar et ceteras from Europe and beyond have been meeting up for regular courses in St. Petersburg as well as on-line courses, supposedly offered by the FSB with government approval. Deutsche Welle had an article about it. So have many other news outlets, and the FBI has been following the connection with great excitement.

[PM] A recently surfaced video on social media shows Stacey Abrams speaking about her views on abortion. The short clip shows Abrams on an auditorium stage with other speakers, when she makes the claim that fetal heartbeats are "manufactured."
Georgia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams claimed that "There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks."
Abrams who previously falsely claimed that she lost the previous race for Georgia governor added, "It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body."

Hell, I challenge any machine to get a heartbeat from outta that mountain of ho fat. If she's ever dying and they try to jump start her, I bet the current won't reach past the lard.
#14
as pointed out by the radiologist, the 'sound' made by the ultrasound apparatus, is, to my understanding, in fact a simulation - so that is a tiny bit of info that Abrams can pretend she was talking about
however simulation is based on the actual, real, vibration of embryonic heart muscles
