Gender Equality Push Overlooks Men’s Needs: Associate Professor
January 30, 2025
Workplace gender norms aren’t just holding women back—men who embrace caregiving roles or show vulnerability face stigma too. A parliamentary committee has been informed about a lack of focus on meeting the needs of men in the push for workplace gender equality in Australia. During a recent inquiry hearing on the Workplace Gender Equality Amendment (Setting Gender Equality Targets) Bill 2024, Leonora Risse, an associate professor at the University of Canberra, raised concerns about some men struggling under existing gender norms. She gave an example of how men were squeezed out of caregiving roles and faced difficulties in applying for parental leave due to social stigma. “Research points towards where we’ve done a lot to legitimise women in the workforce, because we need the workforce numbers and that educated workforce, but we haven’t done the same to normalise men’s roles across work, home, and community life,” she said. The associate professor also noted that there was disturbing evidence that men who followed traditional norms about trying to be tough and brave, and not showing emotion, fear, and vulnerability, had a higher rate of male suicide, mental health… […]

‘Diversity Is Our Strength’ One of the Dumbest Phrases in Military History – Twitchy
January 30, 2025
As Twitchy reported earlier, during a press conference about the deadly mid-air collision between a military helicopter and an American Airlines plane, President Donald Trump made liberal heads explode by pointing out the FAA’s DEI policies, which encourage the application of people with “severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities,” as part of the problem. The point is not that DEI causes a particular crash or disaster, but that any institution which adopts DEI is, by definition, lowering standards and sacrificing merit on the altar of ideology. Until they scrap DEI, they cannot make the case that they are doing their best. — Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) January 30, 2025 Speaking of diversity, equity, and inclusion, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Fox News’ Jesse Waters the other night that “diversity is our strength” is one of the dumbest phrases in the U.S. military. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: “One of the dumbest phrases in military history is ‘our diversity is our strength’… Our diversity is not our strength — our unity and our shared purpose is our strength.” pic.twitter.com/20IS0BLS9L —… Read the full article here […]
New CIA Director Says the Evidence Didn’t Support John Brennan’s Explosive Trump-Russia Assessment
January 30, 2025
(RealClear Investigations)—Though even Donald Trump’s harshest critics now concede he may not be the “Russian agent” they once speculated he was, the consensus among Washington’s elite remains that he’s a beneficiary of Kremlin skullduggery. This persistent belief springs from a January 2017 U.S. intelligence document crafted by the Obama administration, which classified the sourcing behind it at the highest levels. Known as an intelligence community assessment (ICA) and titled “Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections,” its unclassified finding that Russian President Vladimir Putin interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win has gone largely unquestioned by the Washington media and by Democrats and Republicans alike. They’ve accepted its conclusion that Putin abetted Trump as incontrovertible fact, and many suspect he continues to cast a spell over the now-reelected president. Hillary Clinton still blames her 2016 loss on Putin. She’s asserted, “There’s no doubt in my mind [that Putin] wanted me to lose and wanted Trump to win,” echoing the ICA’s judgments, which she and other leading Democrats continue to… Read the full article here […]
Trump Sets Saturday Deadline for 25% Tariffs on Mexico and Canada to Force Action on Illegal Migration and Fentanyl Crisis | The Gateway Pundit
January 30, 2025
Screenshot: The White House President Donald Trump has set a Saturday deadline to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada. The administration asserts that these tariffs will remain until both neighboring countries take substantial measures to curb the flow of unauthorized migrants and illicit drugs into the United States. This announcement follows a recent agreement with Colombia, where the threat of similar tariffs led the Marxist president to fold like a cheap suit and begin accepting deported migrants. In a statement from the Oval Office Thursday, President Trump emphasized the urgency of the situation. “Mexico and Canada have never been good to us on trade. They’ve treated us very unfairly on trade,” Trump said. “We’ll be announcing the tariffs on Canada and Mexico for a number of reasons. Number one is the people that have poured into our country so horribly and so much. “Number two are the drugs, fentanyl and everything else that have come into the country. Number three are the massive subsidies that we’re giving to Canada and to Mexico in the form of deficits. “I’ll be putting the tariff of 25% on Canada and separately 25% on… Read the full article here […]

Kash Patel, U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee to be Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), testifies during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on January 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Patel, a former public defender, federal prosecutor and Trump loyalist, is facing opposition from Democrats over his past criticism of the Justice Department and FBI. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) OAN Staff Brooke Mallory6:24 PM – Thursday, January 30, 2025 During his Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday, Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, took on a number of interrogating questions and Democrat-led accusations regarding January 6th, his time at the Department of Justice, claims surrounding his character, and more. No Republicans have openly expressed their disapproval of Patel’s nomination, and none voiced any objections during the hearing.

Sen. Hawley Questions Kash Patel on Biden-Era Targeting of Christians by FBI, “Will You Commit To Me…”
January 30, 2025
Kash Patel’s first day of confirmation hearings have been as cataclysmic as anyone guessed, and as promising as many of us hoped leading up to today’s hearing. During questioning, Senator Josh Hawley took up a subject with President Trump’s pick to lead — and fix — the FBI which he has often focused on during Congressional hearings. Sen. Hawley reminded Patel in particular of the notorious memo which directed the FBI to in fact target Christians and Christian churches based on their religious grouping. Patel, possibly even more familiar with the circumstances of that memo than Sen. Hawley, was perfectly clear that no such mandate exists under which the FBI could or should engage in such actions. What is more, he committed to ending the Biden-era targeting of Christians by the FBI, and vowed the full resources of the FBI to investigate those responsible for doing so and holding them accountable. Kash Patel vows to Hawley to end Biden-era ‘targeting’ of Christians: ‘Sacred trust’ https://t.co/UEytUqi1VW — Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) January 30, 2025 Senator Hawley asked Patel point blank if it would ever be justified for the FBI to target people of faith in order to… […]
How RFK Jr.’s Nomination Exposed the Left’s Health Hypocrisy – PJ Media
January 30, 2025
The nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) has ignited a firestorm of controversy. Democrats claim to be concerned with Kennedy’s experience and judgment, particularly with regard to his history of questioning vaccine safety and advocating for further research into vaccines. They label him as a dangerous voice in public health and claim that his views could undermine the very fabric of vaccine confidence in America. Ironically, however, this backlash sharply contrasts with the Democrats’ history of confirming inexperienced and dangerous nominees to the HHS department. I’m just going to talk about two: Xavier Becerra and Richard “Rachel” Levine — nominations that, by all accounts, exhibited glaring inadequacies. Take Becerra, for example. Despite lacking meaningful healthcare experience or a medical background, Democrats rallied behind his nomination, confirming him as HHS secretary without hesitation. Becerra, a lawyer with a political resume, was chosen more for his advocacy of healthcare policies like Obamacare than for any expertise in health administration. It was early 2021, and we were still in the middle of the COVID… Read the full article here […]
