Yes. Quite a bit, actually. A close friend came out maybe 5 years ago. We’re still friends, although I don’t play the pronoun game. I don’t have a problem with adults going out in drag, but if he asked to speak to my nieces or nephews about what it means to be bisexual, pansexual, or transgender, it would be a hard no.

Not near, but I know people. I’ve teached some transgender kids and seen the problems they’re facing.
I sympathize anyone who actually feels that they’re transgender. And it’s not my role/expertise to say to them are their feelings true or not.
But I still think one must be an adult to do a decision for hormonal or surgical treatment. For most cases I would be very careful even when deciding trans treatments with the acceptance of kid’s parents.
We’re speaking about very invasive and often not reversible treatments after all.
I also need to add that this is not a huge topic where I’m living. It’s more pronounced than it has been, but not something you see in your daily life.

I have near-daily interactions with transgenders in Maine, aside from my friend who, like all other friends at my age, we get together once every month or two unless we’re training together, which we no longer do after he moved about an hour away.
I feel terrible every time a transgender young person rings me up at the grocery store and they are showing off the breast removal scars or trying to grow a very wispy beard or moustache. Or a guy trying to grow breasts. Most of the ones I see are under 25, meaning they came of age during the height of trans popularity and likely began their transition when they were still children.
When I was a teenager that wasn’t even a thing. Cross-dressing was, but a guy can take off the dress when he grows out of that phase, no different than me ditching the mohawk I had when I was 13 to spend a few years growing my hair out and pretending that I liked Phish to get with those cool hippie chicks I had the hots for.
I still have a thing for goth chicks and have dated a few and stayed on particularly good terms with one of them.
Imagine if 1/4 or so of the Scandinavians who went through a goth phase or got into black metal decided to take cross-sex hormones to deal with their teenage angst, and that’s what the youth situation in Maine is like today. It’s very common, but if the numbers are to be believed, it is waning in popularity as an “identity”.
Edit: To be clear, the 1/4 is the rate of LGBTQ identity across that ever-shifting specturm. Transgender rates are closer to 1 in 20.

Question about the Save Act… It’s been a LONG time since I registered to vote, but didn’t I have to prove I was 18 in order to do that. Didn’t I have to have a birth certificate to do that?

It depends entirely on your state’s laws. In Maine, the short answer is no, you don’t need to prove anything to register and then cast a vote. You can show up with no documentation whatsoever and sign an affidavit (under penalty of perjury) that swears you are who you say you are and that you’re eligible to vote through age, US citizenship, and residency in the jurisdiction. The registrar will mark your ballot as challenged (aka provisional in other states), but it will be counted exactly the same as an unchallenged ballot in most circumstances.
You can also bring a utility bill with anyone’s name on it and say that you are that person, and that functions exactly the same as a US Passport does for voting registration purposes in Maine. The ballot you cast will be unchallenged in that case.
In related news, the State of Maine is still doing everything possible to hinder ICE, including the rather odd demanding of assurances that ICE won’t operate near polling places. We’re told that polling places are the last place any illegal immigrants would be and that they don’t abuse Maine’s lack of voting process security at all. If that were true, ICE at the polling places would be a tremendous waste of their resources because they wouldn’t ever find any illegal immigrants there.
In Tennessee you show your Birth Certificate to get your Driver’s License. And then Driver’s License for Voter Registration.

I’m not suprised. No one on the left is excited about either of them.
Once the midterms happen we’ll start to see people who will actually end up running.
You’re deflecting again. The government does not just hand out funding into the void. Grants are awarded to specific organizations, through specific programs, often after those groups apply, lobby, or partner with agencies to receive them.
That’s what I asked for
Which organizations are receiving the money? You are just complaining about politicians. They are just puppets. Who is funding them?
I will wait.
Cut them off from lobbying. Everything. Why should they get any type of special treatment? What other country has that much influence? How many other countries have their flags in Govt buildings and Govt officials’ offices proudly on display?
Again, who runs them???
Forget about Jews. Tell me the names of the NGO’s. NGO stand for Non-Governmental Organizations. What are these Organization’s?
Wrong.
Charlie knew.
For example:
The National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) is a leading U.S. nonprofit advocating for the rights and equality of transgender people through policy, legal, and public education initiatives

There are more but, I am pretty sure those are the biggest. All activism, lobbying, and federal policy.
There are over ten thousand nonprofits in Maine alone, and I lack the time to look into all of their funding. I have looked into roughly 40 local nonprofits, and they are typically funded via government grants, grants from other nonprofits that are recipients of other nonprofit grants, so on and so forth until you get to a lot of federal grants given to initial NGO’s.
There are millions of them. Here in Lewiston, MIRC, MEIRS, Maine Inside Out, Somali-Bantu Women Unite, The Church of Safe Injection, Kaydenz Kitchen, The Maine Community Foundation, it would take forever to name them all.
That’s a really short clip and I don’t know the context, but just because Charlie Kirk talked about Israel’s influence in US politics once doesn’t mean that Ron Paul wasn’t a libertarian who would like open borders with no welfare. It did work quite well for a long period of US history, but that’s not reality today.
You shit all over Trump while comparing him to a nonexistent ideal politician, all while blaming one group for society’s problems. You also can’t explain what actions should be taken against that group in any kind of coherent terms that translate to actual public policy. You can only name the enemy, and you seem to include The Trump Administration in your enemy category.
I hate to break it to you, but you’re woke right.

Hell if I know. I’m a mere descendant of Polacks who got out of Poland just in time before National Socialism and then Marxist-Leninist Socialism governed over my family’s former home.
If you believe what Nick Fuentes says, which means that you find his arguments to be well-supported, then I’m a fool for reaching the conclusions I have, and the correct course of action is to vote for Democrats to punish Republicans for not governing as Adolf Hitler would have.
So, you can’t list any. Got it.
Where the funding comes from is pretty important don’t you think?
You spend all this time writing walls of text about millions and billions lost yet you list shit like the “The Church of Safe Injection” that runs on mostly small private donations and was started by an ex-addict? 
With a quick search I found actual large organizations that actually receive billions from the Govt like the “International Rescue Committee”.
President is?? David Miliband.
Son of immigrant parents, Belgian-born Marxist sociologist Ralph Miliband and Marion Kozak, both from Polish Jewish families
I am sure there is no influence there. 
Give me a break
Context is not needed but, you can easily find the full video.
What about the list of Trans/Gay organizations? Are those fake? No agenda? They just happen to be started and run by Jewish people?
Why do the Jews want to destroy Western civilization if they rule it and benefit from it so greatly?

LOL The Church of Safe Injection didn’t run on private donations at all. I don’t think they’re defunct quite yet, but their building was condemned last year. Nearly all of their funding came via State of Maine grants issued to another nonprofit, Maine Health. Church of Safe Injection received nearly 400,000 from them, plus an unknown amount from the City of Lewiston. I’d have to submit an FOAA to get that number.
I’m guessing you’re getting your information from AI on this, which has a pretty limited amount of information to go on. I don’t think they have even filed their taxes since going over $50,000 in revenue. All that was on record for them when I checked them out were 990-N’s, but those were before the big bucks started coming in. No Jewish overlords were involved in the city level decision to allow them to operate and direct funding towards them, even though they haven’t filed taxes since getting big bucks flowing to them. That’s Lewiston’s fault, along with many, many other similar nonprofits. Israel had nothing to do with any of that.
We get it dude, you think Jews control the world. I’m not going to go figure out if all of the nonprofit founders are Jewish or not, then list off all of the non-Jews to have this silly exchange with you.
Prove to me that Reptilian aliens don’t control the world. You can’t handle the truth!
You have to be a paying subscriber to Nick Fuentes to learn about the secret scrolls of world domination and why voting for Democrats is how you stop them.

In 2025 the Department of War spent $81.5 million on lobster tails.

With 1.34 million active duty service members and low-end lobster tail going for around $20 per pound, that works out to 3 pounds of lobster tail per soldier for the year.
The same amount of money could’ve funded four home healthcare startups for African migrants here in Lewiston.
Oh.. well good for them.
