China's "Smart Religion” App Mandates Registration Before Attending Worship Services - The New American

SINGAPORE — ChinaAid, a U.S.-based Christian charity, reported March 6 that the religious department of the provincial government of Henan is unveiling a system whereby all believers must make online reservations on a government app before they can attend services in churches, mosques, or Buddhist temples.

These reservations are to be made through an app called “Smart Religion,” developed by the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Commission of Henan Province. According to ChinaAid, applicants must fill in personal information, including their name, phone number, government ID number, permanent residence, occupation, and date of birth, before they can make a reservation. Those who are permitted into a place of worship must also have their temperature taken — hinting the app may be linked in some way to Covid-19 restrictions — and display a reservation code.

Collapse: Mainstream Media Admits That Nearly 190 Banks Could Face A Similar Fate As Silicon Valley Bank – winepressnews.com

The American banking system is in trouble and some analysts believe that around 190 banking institutions are primed to meet a similar fate as the belly-up and defunct Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) that collapsed earlier this month, that set off a chain reaction of contagion and bank runs.

While mainstream financial outlets, President Joe Biden, Treasurer Janet Yellen, Fed Chair Jerome Powell, and FDIC, are trying to sell the general public that the banking industry is “safe,” some researchers are not buying it.

MacIntyre: Anarcho-tyranny in the USA - TheBlaze

Law and order in the United States have now descended to a level of anarcho-tyranny in which the government funds rioters with the tax money of their victims. The slow death of the rule of law in America would be ugly enough, but what we are witnessing instead is the twisted, grimacing corpse of a system that was once designed to protect the safety of Americans now being used to punish us for disagreeing with our political elites.

Boston School Distributes Explicit Survey on Oral Sex, Transgenderism to Middle-Schoolers

A Boston public school elicited outrage among parents this week when it presented pre-teen students with an explicit survey asking them about their sexual history, including whether they've performed oral sex.

The principal of Eliot K-8 Innovation School in a Thursday letter to parents acknowledged the "many concerns" over the survey, which was administered on Wednesday to some sixth- and seventh-graders.

A copy of the survey shows it inquired about the pre-teens' risk behavior, with several questions asking about their sexual history. "Have you ever participated in oral sex?" one question asked. "Oral sex is when a person puts their mouth on another person's genitals or private area," the survey explained.

Missouri AG says probe uncovered 'shadowy' network of clinics helping minors change gender | Just The News

"There's a shadowy, clandestine network of these clinics across the state of Missouri that are encouraging kids to come in," Bailey said on the John Solomon Reports podcast. "They're encouraging them to believe they have mental health problems and then are jumping the gun to administer puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and recommending – ultimately –surgery that's damaging and irreversible."

Federal Judge Strikes Down California Gun Law as Unconstitutional - The New American

Kidney Transplant Org To Distribute Organs Based On 'Equity'

If someone donates one of their kidneys and later needs a new one, should they go to the top of the transplant waitlist? Yes, say good people. Yes, say normal people. Not anymore, say the bureaucrats in charge of the transplant waitlist. Instead, they say it’s time for a “more equitable approach.”

Currently, the people at the top of the kidney transplant waitlist are people who have donated one of their organs to someone else (living donors), young children who are a great biological match with an organ, and patients who are very hard to be matched with any organ. The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a private non-profit that holds a contract with the federal government to run the transplant waitlist, and they want to change that. UNOS wants to remove these “hard boundaries” in favor of a new system that erodes the protections for living donors.

A report commissioned by UNOS envisions a drastic reduction in prioritization for living donors — going from the current virtual guarantee of getting a new kidney to a slight bonus on the waiting list — equivalent to as low as 10 percent of the total prioritization score. This policy would betray those who have already donated an organ and discourage others from donating in the future. They are pushing this policy even though their own research shows that changing from the current policy will not reduce death rates but lead to a higher rate of failed kidney transplants in the first year after surgery.

VA School Violates Youngkin EO By Teaching White Guilt

Last Thursday, not long after a BB gun fell on the floor during a fight at Annandale High School, a suspected fentanyl overdose at Fairfax High School, and the choking of a boy on a school bus, teachers at Irving Middle School delivered a “social emotional learning” lesson on “white privilege.” The lesson, with no opt-out process, was in clear violation of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s Executive Order One banning divisive concepts in K-12 education.

Leftists Attack Immigrant For Supporting 'Remarkable' Constitution

Inside, local mother Suparna Dutta, whom the activists had recently smeared to defeat her nomination to the Virginia Board of Education, stood strong as a private citizen. She moved from the stage to the audience, firm as Democrat school board members, delegates, and activists lied at the podium. They falsely claimed the Board of Education’s revised standards that Dutta helped draft would “whitewash” education.

Thug shoots elderly couple in their truck after street racers surround them, jump on their vehicle, refuse to let them pass through intersection - TheBlaze

The victims were trailering a boat with their truck when they were stopped at the intersection of Milwaukee Boulevard and Homestead Road in Lehigh Acres around 4 a.m., WBBH-TV reported. Lehigh Acres is about 30 minutes east of Fort Myers.

Lee County sheriff's deputies told the station in a follow-up story that the couple was on a trip to Key West.

But a "car club" was blocking off the intersection for street racing, deputies told WBBH, adding that several people broke away from the larger group, surrounded the elderly couple's truck and boat, and began to hit, punch, and kick the truck. Some jumped upon the truck and the boat, the station added.

Before the victims were able to drive away, investigators told WBBH that an individual they've identified as 17-year-old Armando Cruz ran up to the truck's window and fired into the truck. The station said both victims suffered gunshot wounds but were able to drive away and get medical help.

City forbids almost all new gas stations 'to address the changes to our climate' — even as some admit measure won't do much - TheBlaze

On Tuesday evening, the City Council of Louisville, about 20 miles northwest of Denver, voted unanimously to pass Ordinance 1851, which would basically cap the number of city gas stations at six. There are currently five gas stations and a sixth has already been approved for construction. All future gas stations would be forbidden unless the gas station were "part of a new, large single-user retail center," presumably such as Costco.

"Parental Rights End When You Send Your Kids to Public School" - New Mexico Attorney In Training Session to Teachers (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit

New Mexico official claims parents of public-school children have no parental rights.

In a shocking undercover video released Tuesday, New Mexicans learned why attempts to get education officials to listen to concerns about critical race theory, transgender indoctrination, masking children, and school lockdowns have been such an uphill battle: New Mexico state officials have trained teachers and school boards that parents have no rights when it comes to their kids.

“Parental rights end when you decide to send your kids to public school,” claimed attorney, Andrew Sanchez (below), who conducted a recent training session for New Mexico teachers and school board members in Bernalillo County.

This proves my point why I think there shouldn't be public schools or libraries!

Democratic Party of Illinois spending thousands in local school and library board races | Just The News

The Democratic Party of Illinois is spending $300,000 on mailers and online campaigns for local school and library board races early next month.

Democrats said in a news release they’ve identified dozens of candidates they recommend and oppose while launching a website DefendOurSchoolsIL.com.

Last week, Gov. J.B. Pritzker explained why his attention is on local school board races.

“There are lots of candidates who are running, Republicans or Democrats, they’re not listed on the ballots as such. What we’re trying to do is to raise awareness about the extremists that are running,” Pritzker said at an unrelated event last week.

Drag Queen Holy Church - TheBlaze

According to a San Diego pastor, “Drag is holy.” You can’t make this up.

The pastor says this in a video he took of himself dressed with rainbows adorning his religious wear.

He confidently says, “Drag is holy. There has been an assault on the rights of drag performers in this country, and we must call out the hypocrisy and the injustice, really.”

Horowitz: Sovereignty! Tennessee legislature proposes giving back all federal education funds - TheBlaze

Tennessee receives $1.8 billion in annual federal education funding, but in a first-of-its-kind bill, Speaker Sexton has introduced legislation forming a commission to explore giving back all of that money and, instead of federal subsidies, assuming 100% control and responsibility for the state’s own education system with state funding. Rather than waiting for the next vapid promise from GOP presidential candidates to repeal the Department of Education, they are de facto repealing it for their purposes.

"It's Possible the FBI Has Been Working with Hunter Biden" - Tucker Carlson Discusses FBI Mole Named "One-Eye" (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit

The reason that the FBI has done nothing with the multiple crimes found on the Hunter Biden laptop may be because Hunter has a mole in the FBI. The FBI has had the laptop since 2019 and has not pursued any of the crimes revealed on the computer.

An FBI mole named “one-eye” may be protecting Hunter Biden and the Biden family from being indicted for the many crimes found on the Hunter Biden laptop.

FBI whistleblowers sound alarm on bureau's link to secret agreement stripping gun rights | Washington Examiner

The FBI and Secret Service worked behind closed doors with an apparent prosecutor in 2019 to condition the signing of the form, which also stripped at least 60 people of their gun rights between 2011 and 2019, according to multiple Washington Examiner reports. Two FBI whistleblowers say the bureau's actions in connection to the forms are yet the latest revelation of the politicization of agencies, an allegation at the heart of the newly launched GOP-led weaponization of the federal government subcommittee.

Bible ban? School district reviewing the religious text after parent's request

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — A Utah law passed in 2022 is now being used to challenge dozens of books in schools across the state for material that is considered by some to be inappropriate and even pornographic. Since the law took effect, the Davis School District has had 81 requests to review books. One of the most recent: The Holy Bible.

The Davis School District has an eight-page policy to guide the selection (and removal) of materials across its 92 schools.

HF 146 1st Engrossment - 93rd Legislature (2023 - 2024)

A law of another state that authorizes a state agency to remove a child from the child's
parent or guardian because the parent or guardian allowed the child to receive
gender-affirming health care, as defined in section 543.23, paragraph (b), is against the
public policy of this state and must not be enforced or applied in a case pending in a court
in this state. A court order for the removal of a child issued in another state because the
child's parent or guardian assisted the child in receiving gender-affirming care in this state
must not be enforced in this state.

'State Sanctioned Kidnapping' — California Democrat Pushes Bill That Would Allow Therapists to Snatch Children From Parents Without Trial | The Gateway Pundit

If one California Democrat has her way, school counselors in California will be able to take residents’ children away from them and help place them in state housing facilities.

This would all be done without parental knowledge, and no trial or evidence would be necessary.
