Make-A-Wish Foundation Says It Won’t Help Terminally-Ill Kids Unless Their Entire Family Is Vaccinated
Make-A-Wish Foundation Says It Won’t Help Terminally-Ill Kids Unless Their Entire Family Is Vaccinated
Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,
The Make-a-Wish Foundation says it won’t help terminally ill children unless the child and their entire family has taken the COVID-19 vaccine, prompting actor Rob Schneider to end his relationship with the charity.
Yes, really.
Make-a-Wish president and CEO Richard Davis made the announcement in a video released last week, stating, “All wish participants, including your wish kid and any siblings, will need to be two weeks past completion of either a one-dose or a two-dose vaccine.”
“This is literally a new low for humanity,” remarked the Twitter user who posted the video.
“Terminally ill children will not be granted a wish.. from the make a wish foundation… unless.. you guessed it.. they’re fully vaccinated.”
A two-tier form of discrimination which treats the unvaccinated as second class citizens is already underway in the form of vaccine passports, but to deny critically ill children support because they haven’t taken the jab is particularly cruel.

For one, many of the sick children may have medical conditions that prevent them from safely taking the vaccine.
In addition, according to official CDC guidelines, children under the age of 12 aren’t supposed to take the shot. The World Health Organization has also said “the Pfizer/BionTech vaccine is suitable for use by people aged 12 years and above.”
So Davis’ claim that the organization had consulted with “doctors and medical professionals throughout the National Medical Advisory Council” doesn’t even make sense.
Responding to the decision, actor Rob Schneider said he would permanently end his relationship with the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
“Make-a-Wish will only grant wishes to terminally ill children who are fully vaccinated?!” While it has been an honor to work with this foundation over the years, if this policy of discrimination of children is true? I will never work with them again. Ever,” tweeted Schneider.

U.S. Air Force Base Says Drag Queen Show Was “Essential For Morale”
U.S. Air Force Base Says Drag Queen Show Was "Essential For Morale"
Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,
A U.S. Air Force base responded to controversy about a drag queen show hosted by the base by saying the performance was “essential to the morale, cohesion, and readiness of the military.”
Yes, really.
Nellis AFB staged its first ever drag queen show on June 17th called ‘Drag-u-Nellis’ – which it said was important in teaching military personnel the “significance of Drag in the LGBT+ Community.”
After some veterans raised concerns about why such an event was being hosted, Nellis hit back with a statement defending the show.
So @NellisAFB is having a base-sanctioned drag Queen show; isn’t that awesome?
Maybe some of our military “journalists” can call them up and ask them about this. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/CJdGjpuun9

“The event was sponsored by a private organization and provided an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the history and significance of drag performance art within the LGBT+ community,” said the statement, adding that
“Ensuring our ranks reflect and are inclusive of the American people is essential to the morale, cohesion, and readiness of the military. Nellis Air Force Base is committed to providing and championing an environment that is characterized by equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion.”
The whole effort is part of a Pentagon recruitment drive to appeal to LGBT people, with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin dismissing criticism of the program as “talking points” that foreign adversaries could “capitalize on.”
He went on to claim that the U.S. military was not going “soft” and is instead focused on doing a “great job of recruiting the right kinds of people.”
Although the Trump administration went someway to reversing the woke takeover of the military, it’s back to full steam ahead under Biden.
The rot started under the Obama administration, during which in some instances cadets were made to take part in an event called Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, which sought to raise awareness for sexual assault victims by having men wearing Army Combat Uniforms parade around in red high heels.
Meanwhile, China and Russia are laughing hysterically as they concentrate on training their soldiers to engage in actual combat rather than pandering to the LGBT community.

Watch: Roger Waters Tells “Little Pr**k” Zuckerberg To “F**k Off” Following Request To Use Iconic Pink Floyd Song For Ad
Watch: Roger Waters Tells "Little Pr**k" Zuckerberg To "F**k Off" Following Request To Use Iconic Pink Floyd Song For Ad
Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,
Pink Floyd song writer Roger Waters slammed Mark Zuckerberg during a press conference recently, announcing that the Facebook owner had offered a “huge, huge amount of money” to use the iconic song Another Brick In The Wall Part II in an advert for Instagram.
Speaking at an event to raise awareness about imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Waters noted the deep deep irony of Facebook wanting to buy and use a song that rails against ‘thought control’ and mindless conformity.
Waters described the development as part of Zuckerberg’s “insidious movement… to take over absolutely everything.”
Waters read out Facebook’s request, which noted “We want to thank you for considering this project. We feel that the core sentiment of this song is still so prevalent and so necessary today, which speaks to how timeless the work is.”
“And yet, they want to use it to make Facebook and Instagram more powerful than it already is,” Waters urged, adding “so that it can continue to censor all of us in this room and prevent this story about Julian Assange getting out into the general public so the general public can go, ‘What? No. No More.’”
“So it’s a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me… with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money and the answer is, ‘f**k you! No f**king way!’,” Waters boomed to rapturous applause.
“I will not be a party to this bullsh-t, Zuckerberg,” Waters added.
He then asked “How did this little pr**k, who started off going, ‘She’s pretty, we’ll give her a four out of five. She’s ugly, we’ll give her a one’… How the f**k did he get any power in anything?”
“And yet here he is, one of the most powerful idiots in the world,” Waters emphasised.

Following media attention, Waters requested trolls to pile on and call him a hypocrite for posting the video on “Zuckerberg’s crappy censored platform”:

You would know for sure that we had descended into dystopian hell if this song was ever approved for promoting shiny Instagram graphics, urging kids to sign up to liquify their brains and act like every other insta-zombie uploading 4 million selfies every second:

De Salis Cemetery in Tharwa, Australia
The De Salis Cemetery is a rare example of a 19th-century pastoral station cemetery. Such private cemeteries were necessary due to the long distances needed to travel to public burial locations. This was particularly difficult for pastoral families and their workers on stations in Australia’s interior. Residents and workers were carefully segregated within the burial ground, reflecting the social order of the time.
The cemetery is situated high up in the junction of the Murrumbidgee and Gudgenby Rivers. It is also a short distance from the Cuppacumbalong Station homestead.
What makes this cemetery so unusual is that it has been elevated above the landscape and is surrounded by a dry stone wall. This was done because three previous burials in the river bank cemetery had been lost to floods in the 1870s. So when Charlotte De Salis died in February 1878, the family created a unique solution. Instead of digging down, they raised the cemetery up.
In 1878, they created an oval mound of soil from the river, surrounded by banks of stones hauled by horse and cart from Mount Tennant. A formal garden of trees was planted and an avenue of elms led from the homestead.
From 1878 to 1903, another 14 Cuppacumbalong residents and workers were buried here.

26 Ways to Win at Tennis Style, With or Without Knowing How to Serve
It’s the most wonderful time of the year for real tennis fans — but if you’ve been on Instagram at all lately, you’ve likely noticed a sudden surge in pleated mini skirts and other classic pieces associated with the sport on and off the court. Whether or not a singles match is on your agenda …
Just Dance: Tajabone
Tajabone is a short film about the french black queer community taking pride in who they are, what they have achieved, and embracing the bodies they are in. Wearing leopard-print leotards that embody their fierce dancing styles, the stars of Tajabone use their bodies to explore the fragility, strength, and conviction at the heart of a community bonded by radical self-expression.
Nicolas Huchard, who has collaborated with the likes of Christine and the Queens and Madonna as a dancer and choreographer, based Tajabone’s thunderous dance sequences on bucking and voguing—styles that were popularized in queer clubs in Atlanta and New York City respectively.
Huchard reached out to director Raphael Chatelain—whose work focusses on LGBTQ+ themes that delve into the political and humanitarian aspects of the subjects he portrays— to help him craft stunning visuals that complemented the choreography.
The creative duo describes the work as “a direction of movement with tribal connotations, putting forward the notion of communication through the body.” Each dancer uses their body to tell a personal story and represent their identity.
Tajabone takes its name from a unique tradition in Senegal, ten days after Tamkharit, or Islamic New Year. In the evening, after a day spent feasting and visiting friends and family, men and boys would dress as women and vice versa. In a carnivalesque exchange of kaftans and boubous, the night ends with a chorus of singing, cavorting, and dancing through the streets to the sound of percussion instruments.
Musician and writer Mykki Blanco wrote a poem that is heard in the stirring voiceover in Tajabone. It explores the vulnerability and strength of the queer, black community and the ongoing trauma they live through. Blanco’s powerful words echo throughout this film like a trance; uplifting, inspiring, uncompromising.
Learn the Shadow Puppetry of Japan’s Edo Period with Hiroshige’s Delightful Woodblock Prints
Master the playful art of shadow puppetry with a little help from Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858). The prolific ukiyo-e artist, who is best known for his poetic woodblock prints of the Tōkaidō and views of Edo, also created an instructive series of omocha-e, or toy pictures intended for kids, that demonstrates how to twist your hands into a snail or rabbit or grasp a mat to mimic a bird perched on a branch.
