US House passes bill protecting biological women’s sports
US House of Representatives has passed a bill to protect the rights of biological female athletes. The bill would prohibit biological men from competing against females in various sport competitions. The bill will go before the US Senate but is expected to fail or be an uphill battle to get passed. If it does pass, the Biden Administration has vowed to veto the bill. Representatives supporting the bill say that women deserve fairness and safety in women’s sports nationwide. Critics claim the bill is restrictive and shows prejudice against a specific group. A recent poll sponsored by The Washington Post and the University of Maryland finds 55 percent of Americans oppose trans athletes in women’s high school competitive sports. 58 percent opposed trans athletes in women’s collegiate and professional sports.
Members of US Air Force protection extended by justices over COVID shot lawsuit
Good news tonight for members of the US Air Force. A US Court of Appeals has upheld an injunction protecting servicemen in that branch. The protection prevented members of the Air Force from being disciplined or discharged if they refused to take the COVID-19 shot. Attorneys for members of the Air Force petitioned the court to dismiss the protective order after the Biden Administration rescinded the COVID mandate order for all members of the US military. More than 10-thousand servicemen are protected under this order. Attorneys for the group filed a lawsuit, requesting exemption due to their religious beliefs. Members of the justice panel in the case said in a review they saw no reason to lift the order just because the mandate had been rescinded. Members of the US Armed Forces filed lawsuits citing religious beliefs during COVID Shot mandates. The Department of Defense has reported a decrease in recruitment numbers across all branches. Some critics believe the low numbers were due in part to shot mandates and more liberal policies introduced to the military by the current administration.
SNBC NEWS PARENT ALERT: UN affiliated organization pushes for consensual relationships with children under 18 (the following story is not appropriate for young children)
The UN is now backtracking after a controversial report was recently released. Critics call the report another step towards condoning pedophilia. The report was released by a group associated with the UN; The International Committee of Jurists also known as the ICJ. The report lays out some liberal beliefs including the idea that children under the age of 18 should be allowed to participate in sexual activity with an adult. (The full paragraph is listed below). The statement says in part…” Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual, in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them…”. The report also pushed a strong stance in support of LGBT issues and abortion worldwide. It received swift backlash as people expressed outrage over the report. Peter Partoll, writer for the Western Journal, wrote in his op-ed on the report, "If the United Nations is linked to a group trying to legitimize sexual relations with minors, as well as advance the trans agenda and abortion, it again raises the question of whether the United States should continue to be involved with the U.N." Partoll further commented in the article calling for the US to consider leaving the UN, especially if it continues to push a left leaning, liberal agenda. Representatives from the ICJ and the UN claim the report has been misinterpreted. Both organizations claim they condemn child sexual abuse and support protecting children. (Due to the controversy the ICJ and the UN have vehemently denied the accusations)

”The shocking details were only recently discovered deep inside the report that had been released on International Women's Day in March. The 32-page report calls for all types of offenses to be decriminalized, claiming that keeping these moral issues as crimes is an attack on human rights. On page 22, the report said:
"With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement may not be linked to the sex/gender of participants or age of consent to marriage. Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual, in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them. "Pursuant to their evolving capacities and progressive autonomy, persons under 18 years of age should participate in decisions affecting them, with due regard to their age, maturity and best interests, and with specific attention to non-discrimination guarantees."
The ICJ also argued against any restrictions on LGBT and trans "rights" in several countries, stating: "No one may be held criminally liable for conduct or status based on their gender identity or gender expression. This includes gender identities and forms of gender expression that are perceived not to conform to societal expectations or norms relating to gender roles, the sex assigned to a person at birth or a male-female binary, among others."
In addition, the ICJ says all laws forbidding "sex work", also known as prostitution, should be changed. Critics say "sex work" often involves sex trafficking in which the victims are abused and deceived into believing they're performing "work."
SNBC Health Report: how broccoli promotes gut health
According to a report released this year cruciferous vegetables, in particular broccoli, may assist in protecting the body’s gastrointestinal tract. The report was recently published in Laboratory Investigation by Penn State University. Researchers in the study found nutrients in broccoli protect the lining of the gut. This is beneficial to the body’s immune system. This protection helps fight against issues such as leaky gut syndrome and may help with antibiotic resistance. Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable and also has a number of other health benefits. The vegetable helps lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, promotes liver function, and fights against inflammatory issues such as Crohn’s disease. Broccoli is also beneficial to fighting against allergies, and symptoms of asthma.
