Month: October 2023

A prominent Turkish historian and academic is sounding the alarm about the stability of Hagia Sophia, stressing that if it is not closed, the great monument will collapse.

As ERT reported, Professor İlber Ortaylı in a television program, following up on an article he had written a few days ago, warned about the damage to Hagia Sophia.

“Can so many people be allowed into a 1,500-year-old building? What if it doesn’t close?” the professor was asked.

He replied bluntly: “Of course entry cannot be allowed. That is why it should be closed and restored. Perpetual restoration. If they’re smart, they’ll close it. If it is not closed, it will collapse,” emphasised İlber Ortaylı.

The historian, in his article in the Hürriyet newspaper, on September 17, expressed his concern about the damages that have been caused to the monument, since its conversion into a mosque. He stressed Hagia Sophia should be closed for a certain period of time in order to restoration work should be carried out.

İlber Ortaylı emphasised that he considers the annual entry of three million pilgrims, in addition to the number of tourists, to be disastrous.

Speaking about urgent intervention in the number of visitors, he states: “The Hagia Sophia is not a road through which everyone can pass lightly, as the underground buildings, and the constructions to ensure the flow of water, waste, humidity but also the ventilation system are not so resistant to the presence of so many visitors and need to be repaired, cleaned and restored urgently.

“It is a continuous process that concerns the building itself,” he added.

According to the professor, even the number of 20-30,000 people per year, from scientists, historians, archaeologists, representatives of the Muslim religion, politicians and public officials could be considered excessive for the durability of the monument.

The professor is also critical of interventions concerning the operation of the monument as a mosque, noting: “Toilets and fountains that touch the daily needs of a mosque cannot be installed in Hagia Sophia. Places that dispense water such as large fountains cannot exist.”

“The water consumed and flowing from the classic Ottoman fountain and today’s toilets are not the same. Hagia Sophia has existed for 1,500 years. It is not reasonable to use the toilets of Hagia Sophia for defecation.

“If every visitor uses the water fountains and toilets, how will the sewage system under this building hold up?”

According to Turkey’s Tourism and Culture Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, Hagia Sophia has received 21 million visitors since it was converted into a mosque three years ago.

It is noted that two months ago, the Turkish minister announced projects to strengthen the stability of Hagia Sophia, in the context of the restoration of important historical monuments of Istanbul.

According to the restoration plan approved by the relevant committee, the cement mortar will first be cleaned, the aging lead surfaces on the domes will be removed and work will be carried out to repair the cracks and splits under the dome.

The lead cover will then be repaired and replaced. The first minaret, the so-called Bayezid minaret, will also be dismantled and, once the repairs are completed, put back in place. In the other minarets, the study of their static condition continues.

İlber Ortaylı is an honorary member of the Turkish Historical Society, a board member of the International Committee for Ottoman Studies and a member of the European Iranological Society and the Austro-Turkish Scientific Forum, advisor to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and former director of the Topkapi Museum.

Trans women are set to be banned from being housed in female-only wards, new plans by the Health Secretary suggest.

Steve Barclay will reportedly announce a push back against “wokery” within the health service, including the return of “sex-specific language”.

Guidance created in 2021 allegedly urged NHS chiefs to allow trans patients the choice to be based on single-sex wards of the gender they identify.

The Health Secretary said new guidance would be a “a common-sense approach to sex and equality”.

Barclay is expected to use his speech today to announce a discussion with the NHS about how it can address an “ideological dogma”.

Under new proposals, trans patients could be housed in separate accommodation.

“We need a common-sense approach to sex and equality issues in the NHS,” he told The Telegraph.

“That is why I am announcing proposals for clearer rights for patients.

“And I can confirm that sex-specific language has now been fully restored to online health advice pages about cervical and ovarian cancer and the menopause.

“It is vital that women’s voices are heard in the NHS and the privacy, dignity and safety of all patients are protected.”

A source close to the Health Secretary added: “The Secretary of State is fed up with this agenda and the damage it’s causing, language like ‘chestfeeding’, talking about pregnant ‘people’ rather than women.

“It exasperates the vast majority of people, and he is determined to take action on it.

“He is concerned that women’s voices should be heard on healthcare and that too often wokery and ideological dogma is getting in the way of this.”

It is reported that Barclay will also use his speech to announce a major expansion of the NHS workforce.

Three new medical schools at the University of Worcester, the University of Chester and Brunel University in Uxbridge are set to welcome 200 more students in September 2024.

The migrant pre-removal centre (CPR) that has been operating for years at Gradisca d’Isonzo near Gorizia in northeast Italy is now a bomb ready to explode, the local mayor said Monday.
“The CPR is a bomb ready to explode at any moment, also because of the level of violence generated inside, because of the lack of specific rules for those who manage the facilities”, said Linda Tomasinsig, The centre has for years housed about a hundred people, next to a reception centre that gives shelter to another 600 migrants.
“All this to repatriate, from the whole of Italy, a little more than 3,000 people in 2022: a derisory result resulting from very high economic, social and human costs”.
‘The government,’ she added, ‘has proposed a flagship measure” with its decree setting up more CPRs across Italy..

A recent poll conducted by research firm Consumer Science and Analytics Institute (CSA) found that 41% of French citizens would support banning people from flying more than four times in their lives in an attempt to combat climate change.

That number rose to an incredible 59% among 18-24 year-olds. The proposed limit, suggested by engineer Jean-Marc Jancovici, would apply to air travel for business and pleasure combined. The poll, which surveyed 1,010 French residents 18 and over, found that support for air travel restrictions in general was far higher among younger age groups. (Yet I doubt many of them would be keen to give up flights to Ibiza, Côte d’Azur, Berlin, or Prague, for example.)

This should be seen for what it is: a scary example of tyrannical virtue-signaling.

How did Jean-Marc Jancovici, engineer, arrive at four as the number at which flights should be capped? Does the length of the flight(s) matter? What kind of airplane? And he’s considering flying to a party on Ibiza on par with traveling to a family wedding or funeral?

It’s unbelievable how willing many folks are to believe…anything. The “progressive” Left is turning Western nations into moron factories. Precisely how many annual train trips should Europeans be allowed to take? How many trips by automobile should we all be “allowed” each year? What is the maximum mileage bequeathed to us by our elite rulers? Ships? Should we be limited to one cruise in our lifetimes?

For that matter, how many times can we mow our lawn, Mr. Jancovici? Should we be allowed to have a lawn? May we set our air-conditioning in the summer to 74? No? 78? 84? Can those of us that experience extremely cold winters turn the heat up to 70? 65? Is 58° okay? (All temperatures in Fahrenheit for the edification of European readers.)

Is owning a snowmobile verboten? An ATV? Motorboat? Certainly a rowboat would be tolerable, no? Although they, too, need to be manufactured…using much energy and materials and causing greenhouse gases to be injected into the atmosphere. Come to think of it, it’s the same for bicycles and skateboards and running shoes, and…

Seems like the politicians and “experts” are telling us to “go fly a kite.”

Unless we are diligent and determined, it is likely just a matter of time until we are locked down and confined to our abodes once again.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock declared on Monday during a visit to Kyiv that the European Union will extend its borders into areas of Ukraine that are occupied by Russia, vowing that the EU will span from “Lisbon to Luhansk”.

Despite the much-touted Ukrainian Spring counteroffensive having failed to regain much ground this year before the winter sets in, German Foreign Minister Baerbock expressed certain confidence the coming years would absolutely see the Russian occupation comprehensively rolled back.

Speaking from Kyiv at a meeting between the foreign ministers of the 27 European Union member states and President Zelensky, Baerbock said: “With this Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Kyiv we are bringing the European Union to where the heart of Europe is currently beating most strongly. The future of Ukraine lies in the European Union, our community of freedom. This will soon stretch from Lisbon to Luhansk.

“With every village, every metre that Ukraine liberates, it smooths its way towards the European Union, metre by metre. And we as European partners and friends will continue to support Ukraine in this endeavour, day by day.”

The remarks were clear support for Ukraine, possibly supported by the Union, reclaiming the breakaway Donbas region of Luhansk (Lugansk) that was annexed by Moscow over a year ago and has been militarily occupied by Russia since 2014, nearly a decade.

The comments from the German minister ruffled feathers in Moscow, which claims the Luhansk region as its own after holding a referendum in the region on coming under the Kremlin’s umbrella last year, the result of which Kyiv and most Western observers rejected given that it was conducted while Russian forces controlled the area.

Germany Will Support Ukraine 'No Matter What My Voters Think', Says Foreign Minister https://t.co/N2jmUSceZE

— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) September 3, 2022

Responding to Baerbock, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova joked that the EU would have to accept Russia in as a member for its borders to extend to Luhansk.

While opposition to the continued funding of the war has begun to grow in the United States, there has been an increased push from the top brass in Brussels to solidify the European Union’s claim on Ukraine. Last week, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said that there is “nothing off the table” in terms of accelerating the typical membership ascension process to see Ukraine join the bloc at record speed, adding that she hopes that formal talks will begin before Christmas.

This came after EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen declared earlier last month that “history is on the move” and that “the future of Ukraine is in our Union”. There does seem to be some debate within Brussels about the speed at which Ukraine can feasibly be admitted as a member, however, with EU Council President Charles Michel previously saying that he expected the country to join the bloc by the end of the decade.

Yet a more significant roadblock may come from outside of the halls of power in Brussels, with the national governments of every member state having veto power over the admission of any new member state.

Last week, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán reiterated his heavy scepticism over giving such approval to Kyiv, noting that there are “very difficult” questions that remain about letting Ukraine into the EU, principally the issue that German Foreign Minister Baerbock seemingly took as read; that the country’s borders are currently in dispute amid the war with Russia.

“To admit a country to the EU without knowing its parameters, this would be unprecedented”, he said, remarking: “I think we need to answer very long and difficult questions until we get to actually deciding about the start of accession talks.”

Other outstanding issues include the former Soviet state’s struggles with tackling persistent corruption, with Ukraine ranking as one of the most corrupt nations on the European continent. It also remains to be seen how the population of the war-torn country will be calculated, with millions fleeing to other European states in the wake of the Russian invasion last year.

Questions will likely be raised as well over economic issues, such as the drastically lower wages for Ukranians compared to other EU states, which could potentially result in even more migratory flows from Ukraine as workers seek better opportunities in countries like Germany and Poland. Tensions over trade have already emerged between Kyiv and Warsaw, which hitherto has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine. However, with the EU lifting restrictions on Ukrainian agriculture, Poland has sought to impose trade barriers of its own in order to protect their farmers from what they see as unfair competition from a cheaper labour force.

Slovakia, which has also joined Poland in moving towards imposing restrictions on Ukrainian grain. Over the weekend, left-wing populist former prime minister Robert Fico secured the most seats in the parliamentary elections. While it remains to be seen if Fico will be able to form a coalition government and secure a third stint as PM, he has already said that he would seek to end military aid payments to Kyiv as well as throw his support behind Viktor Orbán’s calls for Zelensky to immediately enter into peace talks with Vladimir Putin to put an end to the conflict.

“Irresponsible immigration policy and failed integration have brought us to this point.”

In September, I wrote “Bombs, Rockets and Torture Cells: The EU is an Islamic Narco-State“.

While the media harps on gun ownership in the United States, Muslim gangs in Sweden have taken to throwing hand-grenades and home-brewed explosives at each other. While the Muslim gang members still shoot at each other, they also like hurling explosives at apartment buildings.

At the end of August, there were four blasts in one hour at different buildings in Gothenburg where 10% of the country’s Muslim settler population lives. Unlike Belgium and the Netherlands, Sweden’s gangs and their weapons come from the shattered remnants of the former Yugoslavia: Bosnians and Albanians brought as refugees formed gangs and smuggled weapons from family members in their own homelands. They were joined by the Black Cobra gang: an Iraqi, Lebanese and ‘Palestinian’, organization expanding out of Denmark.

Authorities blame some of the infighting in Sweden’s Muslim gang scene on Rawa Majid, also known as the ‘Kurdish Fox’, who operates out of Turkey. Majiid had come to Sweden as a refugee baby only to build a massive criminal empire and plan RPG attacks. The killers are particularly indiscriminate. “If there are more than one on the scene, shoot all of them. Women, children, it doesn’t matter,” one gang member ordered.

Now things are bad enough that Sweden is considering bringing out the military. (But not serious enough that it’s considering ending the immigrant invasion.)

Sweden’s prime minister has raised the possibility of military help after a surge in gang violence and killings has swept the country, The Associated Press reported.

Ulf Kristersson’s move was prompted by a spike in violence in September, as crime gangs use young recruits to carry out contract killings.

“Sweden has never before seen anything like this. No other country in Europe is seeing anything like this,” Swedish Prime Minister Kristersson said in a speech to the nation.

Kristersson called a meeting on Friday with the country’s police chief and the head of Sweden’s defense forces to evaluate “how the armed forces can help police in their work against the criminal gangs.”

The media carefully avoids any mention of Islam, but you just have to read the names.

This week, a 16-year-old boy is on trial, accused of executing a 15-year-old at point blank range in a sushi restaurant in the Stockholm suburb of Skogås in January.

Ali Shafaei had escaped Taliban persecution and fled Afghanistan in 2019.

The attack was carried out on the orders of an ally of Majid, according to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

The ally, 20-year-old Ibou Badije – operating under the nickname ‘Louise Gucci’ – was recently sentenced to 18 years in prison for ordering a series of shootings carried out by young teens earlier this year.

The shootings included one in Fruängen, southern Stockholm, on January 20 where the 14-year-old gunmen filmed themselves as they fired an assault rifle thorough a front door, posting the footage online.

At the end of July, 14-year-old friends Mohamed Suleiman and Layth Al-Azzawi were reported missing. They were later found dead in two separate woodland locations – one north and one south of Stockholm.

The Expressen newspaper reports that the teenagers had ‘sold guns belonging to the Foxtrot network run by ‘Kurdish Fox’ Rawa Majid’.

This is what happens when your country gets invaded and you welcome in the invaders.

‘Political naivety and cluelessness have brought us to this point. Irresponsible immigration policy and failed integration have brought us to this point,” Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said.

‘Exclusion and parallel societies feed the criminal gangs, providing space for them to ruthlessly recruit children and train future killers. Swedish legislation is not designed for gang wars and child soldiers. But we are now changing that,’ he vowed.

In April 2022, then-Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said Islamism on one hand and right-wing extremism on the other had been allowed to fester.

‘Segregation has been allowed to go so far that we have parallel societies in Sweden,’ the Social Democrat prime minister said at the time.

‘We live in the same country but in completely different realities. We will have to reassess our previous truths and make tough decisions.’

Those tough decisions will still have to be made. But for now it’s the invaders making them.

The Dutch media is focusing on an angle that the alleged killer in the Rotterdam Erasmus University massacre harbored far-right ideology and was a “neo-Nazi,” but at the same time, the media has been distinctly silent about the man’s immigration background.

Given the suspect’s name, Fouad, which means “heart” in Arabic, there is strong reason to believe he either comes from a Middle Eastern country or has a Middle Eastern background, which given anger over mass immigration to the Netherlands, would be information pertinent to this ongoing public debate.

Remix News previously reported on the details of the case, with Fouad L. accused of killing a 39-year-old mother and her 14-year-old daughter in their home, before setting it on fire along with his own apartment shortly thereafter. There are news reports that the mother may have reported Fouad L. to the police when she observed him torturing his pet rabbit, which may have served as a motive for the double killing. After he murdered the two women, Fouad L. traveled to the Erasmus medical university in Rotterdam, where he was once a student before being permanently suspended, and shot a 43-year-old professor dead. He also hurled Molotov cocktails inside the building and set fires in multiple locations.

So far, the Dutch media, as well as the police, have not released anything about the man’s migration history, including whether he is a foreigner or a Dutch citizen. In fact, many Dutch media outlets, such as Het Parool, refuse to report the man’s name, instead referring to his initials as F.L. There also has been no photo released of the shooting suspect, although this is customary in the Dutch justice system, where photos of suspects are often never released. However, even during his arrest by police, a video shows the man was blindfolded. It is unclear whether that is common police practice for an arrest involving a violent suspect, but it only adds to the mystery about the suspect’s identity and appearance.

Nevertheless, plenty of details have emerged about the killer, including the suspect’s online history. International media outlets have reported that he was a “neo-Nazi” and a “raging alcoholic.” In a post to 4chan, which Fouad L. allegedly made, he admits to torturing his pet rabbit while intoxicated.

“(I was) tortured by my unjust suspension, and I acted it out on the rabbit in a Freudian drunk [sic] stupor,” he wrote. He also apparently used anti-Semitic slurs and racist terms for Black people while posting on 4chan.

It is unclear how his posts were obtained, but far-right material was allegedly found on his phone — a fact Dutch and English media are focusing on. It is unclear what this far-right material is though, and whether this justifies the label that the suspect was a “neo-Nazi.”

Furthermore, there is a long history of those from Islamic countries harboring anti-Semitic beliefs and even racist beliefs toward Sub-Saharan Africans, a population that has been routinely enslaved by Arabs for hundreds of years.

Even if it is proven that the man harbored “far-right” beliefs, whatever those may be, the overrepresentation of foreigners in violent crime statistics across Europe has been well documented, including data from Denmark which shows the astounding overrepresentation in violent crime statistics of the children of immigrants who hold Danish citizenship. In Denmark, the data shows that integration actually falls over time within these groups and that they are actually responsible for higher levels of crime despite being born in the liberal Western country.

In fact, as the Remix News video short above shows, the Dutch government collapsed earlier this year over the issue of immigration, with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte resigning.

Given the growing opposition to mass immigration in the Netherlands, the media and the political class may have a strong motive to hide details about the man’s foreign background while conflating Fouad L. with right-wing movements.

An Indian heptathlete has sparked controversy after accusing her opponent at the 2023 Asian Games of being transgender and ineligible to participate in the women’s category. Swapna Barman, 26, was narrowly defeated for Bronze by Nandini Agasara, 20, and called attention to Agasara’s meteoric rise in women’s running.

The 2023 Asian Games are being held in Hangzhou, China, from September 23 to October 8, with a total of 481 events being contested. The heptathlon took place on Sunday, with the competition comprising of seven events including 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, a 200m run, long jump, javelin throw, and a 800m run. Points were awarded at each event, and a final tally determined medal placement.

China’s Ninali Zheng took the gold in the competition with a total of 6149 points, while Uzbekistan’s Voronina Ekaterina received a silver medal for the 6056 points she was awarded.

But Barman was narrowly pushed to fourth after her competitor, Agasara, managed to obtain just 4 points more than her. Barman’s total score for the competition was 5708, while Agasara’s was 5712.

Barman is a well-known elite athlete in India and has collected multiple gold medals over the course of her career. However, in a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter) Barman alleged that she lost her bronze placement because her competitor was transgender.

“I have lost my Asian Games bronze medal to a transgender woman at the 19th Asian Games held in Hangzhou, China,” Barman posted, not specifically mentioning Agasara but allowing people to deduce who she was referring to based on the medal placing. “I want my medal back as it is against the rules of our Athletics. Help me and support me please. #protestforfairplay.”

While she has now deleted the post, Barman has come forward to speak with Indian media and has promised to “expose everyone” if the purported injustice is not rectified.

“If I do not get this medal which I deserved I shall expose everyone. Everyone can see the injustice that I am being subjected to,” Barman told The Bridge. “Transgender athletes, who have testosterone levels above 2.5nmol, cannot compete in events over 200 meters.”

Barman also noted that improvements in Agasara’s performance in the heptathlon have been unusually quick, and that Agasara has managed to achieve progress unmatched by female counterparts.

“No girl can come up in heptathlon so fast. I have trained for 13 years in this, it is impossible that [Agasara] trains for four months and gets to this level,” Barman said.

Responding to the allegations in the Times of India, Agasara placed the burden of proof on Barman and stated “I know what I am,” though not specifying anything about biological sex.

“I will also show that I have won the medal for India. I only want to do well for the country. Now we have won, so people have started talking about it. I will take up this issue with the [Athletics Federation of India] for sure.”

In a further statement, the bronze medallist argued that the “timing” of Barman’s allegations was suspicious.

“Why didn’t she make the accusations earlier? It’s only when I won the bronze because of my sheer hard work and dedication that she came up with this transgender thing. This is so unfair,” Agasara added.

However, Barman clarified that she had previously made complaints about Agasara that were ignored.

“I was surprised to see [Agasara’s] name in the Asian Games list. Federation officials are asking me to protest again, they are saying that they are not doctors [and] only doctors can verify. They are asking me to go to NADA, WADA. I ask for help with folded hands,” Barman said.

Curiously, Barman also noted that Agasara reportedly “fled” the Athletic Village after officials debated issuing a medical test to determine biological sex.

“We were supposed to leave Hangzhou on the 6th of October. [Agasara] has fled after my complaint, saying [a relative] is sick, because [Agasara] knew there would be a test. Who got [Agasara] the tickets?”

While no concrete information has been released on Agasara’s biological sex, some Indian sports commentators have speculated that Agasara has a Disorder of Sexual Development (DSD) similar to that of South African athlete Caster Semenya.

Semenya has been the subject of much controversy dating back to 2009 when he first began participating in elite women’s sport. Semenya’s rapid improvements in performance initially triggered suspicions of drug use, and World Athletics (then called IAAF) was internationally denounced for requesting Semenya take a test to ascertain his biological sex.

Most women, including elite female athletes, have natural testosterone levels of 0.12 to 1.79 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L), but Semenya was found to have male gonads producing a normal level of testosterone for a male. In 2011, Semenya was measured as having 15.6 and 29.3 nmol/L. Years later, a decision in the Court of Arbitration for Sport revealed that Semenya has a genetic disorder where the normal male sexual development fails in utero, resulting in external genitals that appear to be a vagina at birth, but is in fact an underdeveloped penis.

Athletes with DSDs similar to Semenya’s were once actively sought out by national coaches because of their tremendous “natural” advantage.

The issue of men identifying into women’s sporting categories has triggered a heated international debate which has resulted in public scrutiny of policies that prioritize a self-declared gender identity over biological sex. Last month, in a shift from recent years, sporting authority World Athletics president Sebastian Coe banned trans-identifying male athletes who have undergone a male puberty from competing against women.

Jae’lynn Chaney is a “plus-size” social media personality (“fatfluencer”) known for her entitled takes on how people should bend over backwards and empty their pockets to accommodate the travel desires of morbidly obese people, all so they don’t have to put down the junk food.

Chaney, “on a mission to revolutionize the travel industry,” once went viral for her petition that urged the FAA to require all airlines to adopt a “customer-of-size policy” and now, she’s demanding the hospitality industry get on board with “size-inclusive hotel amenities” which among other things, includes widening hallways, extra shower fixtures, additional staff training, and poolside lounge chairs that can hold the obese.

Plus sized “influencer” Jaelynn Chaney not only believes that airlines should pay for her extra seat, but is also demanding that hotels around the world widen their hallways so that she can fit inside.

Body positivity is a cancer. pic.twitter.com/m07UhpnnAD

— Vino and Vetos (@vinoandvetos) October 2, 2023

According to a New York Post piece out today:

In a video posted to her TikTok last month, Jaelynn Chaney listed several ways hotels can create ‘size-inclusive’ amenities.

‘We deserve an environment that respects our needs and body diversity,’ Chaney claimed.

Among her many demands were to ‘make elevators and hallways [more] spacious, to allow for easy movement of larger individuals, and those utilizing mobility devices.’

Chaney also suggested hotels raise their toilet seats and retrofit each room with handheld shower heads so bigger-bodied people can more easily wash themselves.

‘Hotels should provide size-inclusive bathrooms,’ she said in the video. ‘These should go up to size 6X and beyond.’

(For reference, 6X means a waist more than five feet in circumference, and hips more than six feet in circumference.)

And, as you can guess, the cost for these inclusive and respectful accommodations is on the hotels and the hospitality industry, and as we know, when any industry in the private sector is required to make changes by government regulation, that cost is passed on to the rest of the consumers. It’s the travel industry’s responsibility to ensure obese people can travel as comfortably as possible; it is certainly not on the fat person to lose weight and maintain a healthier and more comfortable size.

This narcissist mindset has permeated our culture so completely, and it is so toxic and utterly out-of-touch with reality. Physical characteristics absolutely affect what a person can and cannot do. If someone is a dwarf, he will never be able to play in the NBA. If someone is paralyzed, he will never run a marathon. If someone is morbidly obese, they’re going to have a harder time traveling.

Also, where does it end? The whole world is basically built for a certain size human (certainly one smaller than 6X), and obviously, the U.S. has the largest accommodations already. Is Chaney seriously demanding the entire global travel industry rebuild itself from the ground up to make sure obese people are as comfortable as possible in their gluttony?

Should the NHTSA require car manufacturers to install extra-wide seats at “no cost” to the chunky buyer?

Does every emergency service need to be forced to buy extra-wide ambulances with extra-wide and heavy duty gurneys?

What about movie theaters? Should every theater across the country install new seating that takes the 6X group into major consideration?

How about grocery stores? Do those aisles need to be reworked too?

The entitlement beast is like the mythological Hydra, constantly growing new heads with ravenous appetites.

The disturbing liaisons between Hunter Biden and a multitude of individuals allegedly linked to sex-trafficking rings have been known for quite a while.

Jim Hoft wrote about that 3 years ago almost to the day, in a groundbreaking article based on material from Hunter’s ‘Laptop from Hell’.

But now, the British Daily Mail is reporting on a new, previously unreported upon document that further demonstrate how shady money from overseas ended up in the hands and bank accounts of people involved in (or victims of) sex trafficking.

Wells Fargo Financial Crime Investigators (FCI) suspected  Joe Biden’s son was associated with a ‘sex trafficking ring’ and ‘falsified’ checks to pay prostitutes.
