“”Referring to someone by the wrong gender pronoun (he/him, she/her) should be a criminal offense,” millennials say in a new poll. Americans, particularly younger Americans, often lament that our country has such problems with policing and mass incarceration. But when it comes to decriminalizing or lessening penalties for things that put people in cops’ crosshairs, few want to give an inch unless the crime in question involves cannabis. Meanwhile, way too many express enthusiasm for creating criminal prohibitions on anything they wish wouldn’t happen.
Case in point: a new Newsweek poll on misgendering. In the poll—given to 1,500 eligible voters in the U.S. in early July by Redfield & Wilton Strategies—people were asked whether “referring to someone by the wrong gender pronoun (he/him, she/her) should be a criminal offense.”
A shocking percentage of younger survey respondents said that it should.
Younger millennials were the most likely to support criminal penalties for misgendering, with 44 percent of 25- to 34-year-old respondents in favor and just 31 percent saying misgendering should not be a crime.”

But yeah, keep sending your kids to the indoctrination camps.
Final ratings numbers are in from Fox's big primetime "relaunch/reshuffle." These numbers include DVR viewings. @JesseBWatters managed just 161,000 viewers in the key 25-54 y/o demographic (Tucker often had > 400k). Jesse somehow lost demo viewers after Laura Ingraham, who scored… pic.twitter.com/gVFjiFZGCI
Huge defeat for the child butchers. The ban on the sexual mutilation of minors in Louisiana will now become law after state legislators overturned the governor’s veto. Another enormous victory for Team Sanity. https://t.co/6jMMc7pyA2
Sorry LA parents can’t have their minor children’s’ genitals and breasts cut off.
We’re weeping that adolescents won’t be able to chemically castrate themselves/take hormones/“blockers” with permanent effects while going through the emotional and physical confusion of puberty
Personal responsibility be damned. The American taxpayers will rescue you…but you must vote Democrat in exchange 🥴
The Biden Administration announced $39 billion in automatic loan forgiveness to 804,000, according to a July 14 press release from the U.S. Department of Education.
This wave of student loan forgiveness is separate from the forgiveness plan outlined in August 2022 that the Supreme Court recently struck down in June 2023.
The department cited “historical failures in the administration of the Federal student loan program” that inaccurately represented the number of qualifying months counting toward forgiveness for borrowers on income-driven repayment (IDR) plans. Under Secretary James Kvaal said in the statement that “millions of borrowers had earned loan forgiveness but never received it.”
Borrowers on income-driven repayment plans are eligible for forgiveness after a certain number of months of repayment, generally equating to 20 or 25 years. However, that relief hasn’t always come as promised. Vice President Kamala Harris said in a statement that “many were placed into forbearance by loan servicers in violation of the rules, and others did not get appropriate credit for their monthly payments.”
To remedy this, the Department of Education is adjusting the IDR plan system to make sure that all borrowers have an accurate number of qualifying months and payments. As a result, it’s giving some borrowers automatic forgiveness.
We wouldn’t have this problem with student loans if the government had not removed it from bankruptcy. If people are legitimately bankrupt they should be able to discharge student loans the same way corporations routinely dissolve their own debts when they are bankrupt.
Here’s the thing though. Our local news interviewed Colorado College grads about “loan forgiveness”. This school is definitely not cheap.
The grads almost all said the same thing…”well if I could get this loan out of my life I could buy a new car and a house”…”I could go on vacation and purchase more stuff”.
We had student loans….it was not an easy thing to pay them off but we did. We didn’t purchase a new house nor a new car right after graduation. We didn’t go on vacations…we paid off the loans.
As a teacher, my SIL worked in places and paid his loans and still did not get the loan forgiveness that was promised to him. Not sure that any of this has anything to do with that, however. Jumping through all the hoops never seem to actually do anything for him.

“It’s a conspiracy theory!” they said…..
The NY Times and CDC finally admit the obvious truth.
