A West Virginia delegate who sponsored a bill forbidding the teaching of sexuality in public schools went viral on social media with a video of an explicit discussion of advice for women receiving oral sex.
Delegate Joe Jeffries, R-Putnam, posted the video on Tiktok, a social media platform popular among youth that features short-form videos.

Jeffries, whose page is described as a blend of political commentary and humor, looks into the camera and graphically gives advice about how vigorously women should react to oral sex by men, so that it just drives you wild.

The video was made private this morning so the public can no longer see the original version without receiving permission from Jeffries. Other videos on Jeffries page, @WV_Viper, are somewhat edgy but this one stood out.
Jeffries didnt immediately respond to an email inquiry from MetroNews or to an invitation to provide reaction via Twitter.

They were pretty explicit about wanting a "cinematic" feel when players first play through a mission, with some more hand holding and linearity than you'd usually get. Play through them again and they still have the freedom you're accustomed to

What is your average play session of Yakuza like? If you were to pick it up at this moment, what would you do?

It's a four part mix:
Lengthy story cutscenes
Beating up everyone in your way
Silly sidestories
Minigames: everything from Mahjong to managing a cabaret

I just started 3, and in just the first couple hours:
A character who was supposedly dead reappeared
I went bowling
I golfed with a local politician
I got in a bunch of fights with psychopaths
I helped orphans deal with bullying and their squabbles

Two series I'd never played until last gen and now really love:

Hitman: 2016, 2, and 3 are some of the most satisfying games I've ever played. I love the freedom you're afforded to solve problems with a variety of methods, and creating contracts for other players has occupied so much of my time.

Yakuza: I played 0 back in October, and I've been hooked since. The stories in these games are genuinely gripping, even if they do get over the top and absurd. There's so much side content, and kicking dudes' asses is always a good time.

That highly transmissible variant, first detected in India, is now the dominant COVID-19 strain in the United States. Colorado is among the top states with the highest proportion of the delta variant, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Mesa County has the most delta variant cases of any county in Colorado, state health officials report, making the area a hot spot within a hot spot. A CDC team and the state's epidemiologist traveled to Grand Junction to investigate how and why cases of the variant were moving so quickly in Mesa County.

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-meaning-of-the-native-graves/

... The popular narrative, broadcast by an astonishingly credulous media, is that previously unknown mass graves of children were discovered just this summer on the grounds of Indian residential schools and, in a rash of grief and righteous anger, indigenous protestors swept across the nation desecrating churches.

It is very important to note that the entire story is made up. First, we have always known that many children died in the residential schools, which were active through the 19th and 20th centuries. Child mortality was relatively high during that period to begin with; Indian mortality overall was astronomically high; and the Church-run schools for native children were systemically underfunded by the government, resulting in subpar facilities and inadequate medical care. Second, the sites almost certainly include the graves of Christian adults from the neighboring communities, as Chief Cadmus Delorme of the Cowessess First Nation admitted with respect to the Marieval Indian Residential School, where an estimated 751 burials were detected by radar last month. The mass graves of public hysteria are, in fact, the ordered and intentional burial sites of people we always knew were dead, and who died of more or less natural causes. In more literate times, we might have called that a cemetery.

People die, and when they die, you put them in the ground. There is nothing inherently scandalous about this. When the burial site of the 1636 Feast of the Dead was excavated in 1947, the only outragejustified, mind youwas directed at those who uncovered it, and in so doing disturbed and desecrated the sacred resting ground.

This is not to discount the deaths of children altogether. Of course, it would have been better if each and every one of the First Nations tykes Christianized by the union of Church and state had lived a long and happy life. But it is absolutely to discount the blame fixed on the Church by vicious opportunists. If anyone is at fault hereand the residential school system, for all the good of its evangelizing purpose, was hardly without flawsit is, without a doubt, the secular authority. Had the Canadian government, which in word endorsed the Christian mission of the residential schools, upheld that word in deed by providing the funding which Church authorities repeatedly said was necessary for adequate operation, living conditions could have been improved and a great many premature deaths avoided.

But this failure of the secular authority to sufficiently serve the Church does not in any way indict that Christian mission. And make no mistake, the residential schools were first and foremost Christian. Those who ministered to the Indians a century ago did so, like Jean de Brbeuf three centuries before, out of a sincere concern for the salvation of their souls. The political utility recognized by the Canadian governmentthat, as one bureaucrat put it early on, the North American Indian cannot be civilized or preserved in a state of civilization (including habits of industry and sobriety) except in connection with, if not by the influence of, not only religious instruction and sentiment but of religious feelingsis secondary. Likewise, the certain fact that souls were saved by the missionaries, the enduring belief of Christians that the Gospel is true and must be spread, is paramount; everything else is secondary.

Whatever good was present at the Ossossan ossuarywhere those who had not yet encountered the fullness of Truth honored their dead as best they knew howis increased a thousandfold in the cemeteries of the residential schools, where baptized Christians were given Christian burials. Whatever natural good was present in the piety and community of the pagan past is an infinitesimal fraction of the grace rendered unto those pagans descendants who have been received into the Church of Christ. Whatever sacrifices were exacted in pursuit of that gracethe suffocation of a noble pagan culture; an increase in disease and bodily death due to government negligence; even the sundering of natural familiesis worth it.

It must be, else two millennia of Christian civilization, in which oceans have been bridged, wars waged, continents conquered, and the lives of a million Jean de Brbeufs given in service to the Lords final commandmentGoing therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.all has been for nought.

https://www.losangelesblade.com/2021/07/07/alleged-trans-incident-at-upscale-la-spa-may-have-been-staged/?

On June 24th, Instagram user cubaangel posted a video of herself angrily confronting a staff member at the Wi Spa in Los Angeles, accusing them of letting a disrobed transgender person into the womens section of the business.

There is increasing doubt among law enforcement and staff at the Wi Spa whether there was ever was a transgender person there to begin with. Anonymous sources within the LAPD tell the Blade they have been unable to find any corroborating evidence that there was a transgender person present on that day.

Similarly, a source at the Spa told the Blade theres no record of any of its usual transgender clients on its appointments guest list on the day in question. Treatment at the Spa is by appointment only, and most of its transgender clients are well known to the staff.

Several other factors cast doubt on the veracity of the claims in the video. Cubaangels Instagram account is almost exclusively Christian memes, which begs the question why she chose to go to a high-end spa well known for being LGBTQ friendly. During Cubaangels video, no transgender person can be seen, and no other witnesses have come forward to confirm the allegations made. Its also not the first time Wi Spa has been targeted for catering to transgender people. After the alleged, unconfirmed incident, Wi Spa was deluged with 1-star Yelp! and Trip Advisor reviews.

It also remains a possibility that there was a person, unknown to the Wi Spa staff, who pretended to be transgender to create an inciting incident. In 2015, anti-transgender activists in Washington State deliberately encouraged men to enter womens facilities. One cisgender man entered a swimming pool changing area wearing only board shorts while claiming that he had a right to be there (he was removed from the premises without charges being filed).

The video quickly made the rounds in far right, and Trans-Exclusionary Feminist (TERF) sites. Anti-trans feminist websites like Mumsnet, Ovarit, and Spinster were sharing content by far right provocateurs known for disinformation, like Ian Miles Cheong, by June 27th.

Shortly thereafter, flyers for a protest on July 3rd began circulating in religious right, far right, and TERF social media circles, and were shared by Cubaangel on the 29th and users on Spinster. They discussed defending the alt-right troll website, Kiwifarms, which is known for targeting transgender women.

Prior to the protest, a Los Angeles trans woman was falsely accused by anti-trans feminists of being the alleged transgender person in the video. She received multiple death threats and harassment, including a picture of a masked man brandishing an assault weapon threatening to shoot her.
