The New American: Why the LGBT Acronym Keeps Getting Longer
The LGBT acronym keeps growing, from LGBT to LGBTQIA+, with new letters being added. Including redundant or irrelevant additions such as "queer," "intersex," and "asexual" forces people into the homosexual ideology against their will. The acronym has prompted even those within the community to question its usefulness, and it serves the tactical political level of introducing identity politics among the white community while also serving the spiritual and moral level of converting society to the queer religion.
Breitbart: Actor Harold Perrineau Accuses 'Lost' Producers of Firing Him for Wanting 'Equal Depth' as White Characters
Lost actor Harold Perrineau accuses producers of racism and firing him after he asked for more fleshed-out character development like his white castmates. #entertainment. Producers claim that he was not fired and that one of the reasons for the limited use of his character was because of a young actor's growth spurt. J.J. Abrams, the co-creator and executive producer of the show, apologized for pressuring Evangeline Lilly to do a nude scene for the show in 2018. HBO series is included in new book on entertainment industry’s toxic culture that claims Lost had a toxic atmosphere for minority actors, writers, and other employees.
Newsbusters: Velshi: Opponents Of 'Medically-Necessary' 'Gender-Affirming Care' Aren't The 'Smartest'
MSNBC host Ali Velshi condemned Republicans for passing anti-LGBTQ bills, but his positions are unpopular, despite his claim that Americans overwhelmingly support LGBTQ rights. Velshi’s data from GLAAD was vague and avoided policy questions but he tried to extrapolate policy preferences. 65% of Americans do not want males competing against females and 58% do not want 15-17 year olds to have access to hormone treatment, which is not medically necessary. Finally, 52% say it is inappropriate to talk about trans identity with middle schoolers and 70% for fourth and fifth graders. His position on female-designated spaces is portrayed as “deciding who looks feminine or masculine enough to use certain bathrooms.”
The Right Scoop: Trump judge strikes down anti-Drag law in Tennessee
A federal judge in Tennessee has declared that the state's new law targeting drag shows with restrictive measures is unconstitutional. The ruling comes following a complaint filed by the Memphis-based Friends of George's in March, saying the law negatively impacted their drag-centric performances and comedy sketches. Tennessee's Republican-dominated Legislature enforced the anti-drag law in March, stating that adult cabaret performances were harmful to minors. Although the law has never been enforced, the statute's broadness left room for discriminatory enforcement. The law would have demanded misdemeanor or felony charges for any performer who broke it under repeat offense.

PJ Media: Um, No Thanks: Guess What Stores With Self-Service Checkouts Want From You Now
Self-service checkouts at stores and restaurants now come with prompts to add tips to the total, despite there being no actual service rendered by employees.

Although some doubts have been expressed about the practicality of performing the exercise for hours on end, the low-effort method offers a potential solution for those who cannot escape a sedentary lifestyle due to health risks.

Fox News: Utah district bans Bible in elementary and middle schools 'due to vulgarity or violence'
The Davis School District in Utah has removed the Bible from elementary and middle school libraries in response to a petition calling for the holy book to be banned for “sexually explicit and violent descriptions.” The decision comes after a 2022 state law required schools to consider parents' input on age-appropriate books, resulting in over 250 complaints in the first five months. The Book of Mormon, another religious text, is the next holy book up for evaluation at the district. The "Sensitive Materials in Schools" law prohibits certain materials containing explicit sexual arousal, stimulation, masturbation, intercourse, sodomy or fondling. #education
A petition from a parent requesting the review of the Bible was made available in March 2022, and anonymously mocked the conservative parents coalition Utah Parents United that sought to remove inappropriately sexual books from school libraries. The school district did not provide any reason for the ban or cite which verses led to the book’s removal. Davis School District has over 72,000 students across all grade levels. #religion

Fox News: Malicious Android spyware detected in over 100 popular apps
Over 100 Android apps with over 421 million downloads collectively have SpinOK, a new malware strain infected within them along with a spyware module. SpinOK is a marketing software development kit (SDK) that maintains users' interest in apps using prizes, mini-games, and tasks. The malware can invade any Android phone model, steal private user information, and send it to a remote server controlled by the cybercriminals running SpinOK, using sensors that detect a simulated test environment to avoid detection by cybersecurity experts.
Users can protect themselves by removing malicious apps, updating their apps and operating systems regularly, installing good anti-virus software, reading good reviews before downloading apps, being skeptical of app clones and trusting their instincts if something seems off. Not every app can be trusted, and users must do their research to ensure their safety. Though apps can get infected at any time, it is always better to be protected to avoid future troubles.
