Where did the years go? It just seemed like yesterday watching Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, etc. and yet it was … 47 years ago? 😳 I enjoyed her comedy acting … I sure hope she was a believer. Texas Governor Greg Abbott Calls For Universal School Choice: Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott is calling for universal school choice through the use of education savings accounts, or ESAs. Democrats oppose school choice because their party is in bed with the teacher unions. Teacher unions don’t want public schools to have any competition, which is just what is needed to make schools better. When government has a monopoly on education, schools have no incentive to improve. The state has already piloted a form of such savings accounts through microgrants made available to select students with disabilities in 2020. “It’s been so successful,” Abbott said of the program. The state awarded $1,500 grants to more than 65,000 students, according to the Texas Education Agency. “But that program shouldn’t be limited.” Gov. Greg Abbott said “every child in the state of Texas” needs access to a voucher-like program that gives parents public dollars to spend on private school tuition or other educational expenses. One of the good things that came out of the pandemic, was the increased scrutiny from parents on public schools. People who are unable to home-school should be able to choose where to send their children. Nebraska Democratic State Senator Proposes Amendment To Bar Kids From Attending Church Events: Legendary poet Maya Angelou is famous for her quote “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” A far-left Nebraska state senator decided to declare war on religious families despite her protestations afterward that she was merely trolling. State Senator Megan Hunt was so triggered over a Republican-backed bill that would bar young children from attending grotesque drag queen shows and penalize the adults taking them that she filed a blatantly unconstitutional amendment last Friday to go after individuals taking their kids to church events like vacation Bible study. Courtesy of the Blaze, here are the full details of Hunt’s blasphemous proposal: Tennessee Democrats Want to Cancel Columbus Day Holiday and Replace it with Super Bowl Monday: Democrats in Tennessee are proposing that the state trade holidays and replace Columbus Day with a new holiday of Super Bowl Monday. Democrats Senator London Lamar and Representative Joe Towns Jr. introduced their bill on Wednesday to suggest that the state dump any recognition of Columbus Day and replace it with a Super Bowl Monday holiday to celebrate the game, which is always on Sunday, according to WKRN-TV. But it appears that there is only one reason for this bill to exist: to serve as another woke attack on Columbus Day. Scientists to engineer woolly mammoth's return by 2027: The long-extinct woolly mammoth is slated for a return to the world stage by 2027, Popular Mechanics reported Monday of biotechnology startup Colossal's ambitious project. Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences began making headlines again after recent press releases highlighting their work on similar projects to "de-extinct" other ancient creatures like the dodo bird. "In addition to bringing back ancient extinct species like the woolly mammoth, we will be able to leverage our technologies to help preserve critically endangered species that are on the verge of extinction and restore animals where humankind had a hand in their demise," said CEO and Colossal co-founder Ben Lamm on the organization's website. One key goal of the project is to save modern elephants from extinction. What is CRISPR or CRISPR-Cas9? An acronym for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, CRISPR is the revolutionary gene-editing technology that could make long-extinct creatures' return a reality. The Nobel Prize-winning genome editing method is described as a "tool for rewriting the code of life." "With these systems, researchers can permanently modify genes in living cells and organisms and, in the future, may make it possible to correct mutations at precise locations in the human genome in order to treat genetic causes of disease," says the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard of CRISPR's applications. https://www.theblaze.com/news/scientists-to-engineer-woolly-mammoth-s-return-by-2027 Fake Meat Fail: Sales Collapse At Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods As 20% Of Staff Laid Off: The fake meat industry appears to be in a death spiral as sales at plant-based 'meat' companies Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat have imploded. As Axios reports, "after years of hype, the tide is turning against the first generation of plant-based protein makers." Last year, both companies were riding high - with prime placement on supermarket shelves, and Burger King even adding an Impossible Whopper to its menu. Sales have collapsed, however, which according to a recent Bloomberg report, has resulted in Impossible Foods planning to lay off around 20% of its workers. Impossible Foods Inc., the maker of meatless burgers and sausages, is preparing to cut about 20% of its staff, according to a person familiar with the matter. Impossible Foods also offered voluntary separation payments and benefits to employees at the end of 2022, said the person, who asked not to be named discussing private information. Meanwhile, data from consumer-experience strategy firm HundredX suggests waning interest in general - as the percentage of shoppers polled who have eaten Impossible products and say they won't do it again has risen. Special Olympian Frank Stephens: “I Don’t Want to Make Abortion Illegal, I Want to Make it Unthinkable”: Former Special Olympian Frank Stephens spoke out about abortion on “Fox & Friends” Friday, after his video on the sanctity of life went viral on actor Ashton Kutcher’s Facebook page. “About abortion, I don’t want to make it illegal,” he said. “I want to make it unthinkable. Politicians change laws. I want to change people’s hearts. I want to change people’s hearts by changing people’s minds and hearts together.” “My life is worth living because it is fantastic,” he replied. “I’ve gotten to travel all over the world. I get to workshop a play in New York. I’m going to be in two documentaries, which will be on next month. And I have a lovely girlfriend, friends, and a wonderful family.” Greenville students removed from National Air and Space Museum for wearing pro-life hats: Parents could be taking legal action after they say their students were kicked out of a Washington D.C. museum for wearing pro-life beanies. An attorney from the American Center of Law and Justice says 12 Our Lady of the Rosary School students and chaperones were kicked out of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum for wearing pro-life hats. The students had just attended the March for Life Rally on Jan. 20 when they say a security guard stopped them, calling the museum a "neutral zone," and telling them they'd need to remove their hats or leave. "They should be allowed to wear the hats that they were wearing and to be able to express themselves," said parent Nora Luz Kriegel. "And I felt it was very wrong that this person harassed them." https://www.wyff4.com/article/super-bowl-tickets-eagles-chiefs/42711143 Catholic School Suspends Teen For Stating God Created Two Genders And Protesting Against Transgender Students Using Girls’ Bathrooms: In Western societies today, telling the truth regarding human biology can have detrimental consequences. A so-called Catholic School suspended a conservative Canadian teenager named Josh Alexander for the remainder of the school year because he refused to abandon his correct beliefs on gender and for standing up for girls uncomfortable with biological males in their restrooms. No one should be surprised this happened in Canada, either. The country is led by a globalist authoritarian who has declared war on both people of faith and conservatives. Alexander made clear to school officials he had no intention of starting conflicts with transgender students but simply wanted the freedom to express his views. The school, however, rendered their final judgment that Alexander’s mere attendance on school campus would damage the “well-being” of transgender students. The school refused to consider the well-being of female students forced to share bathrooms with boys. He and his lawyer are bringing this matter to an Ontario human rights tribunal, calling it religious discrimination. Most Americans don’t care if their kids share their faith. Evangelicals do. A new Pew Research survey asked parents of all religious backgrounds, including Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus if it is important to them that their kids have similar religious beliefs to their own as adults. The overall response recorded 35% of U.S. parents with children under 18 saying it’s extremely or very important to them. But 70% of White evangelical Protestant parents responded by saying that it is extremely or very important that their children grow up to have religious beliefs that are similar to their own. This compares to 53% of Black Protestant parents who expressed this view, 35% of Catholic parents, and 29% of White non-evangelical Protestant parents who say it’s extremely or very important that their children grow up to have religious beliefs that are similar to their own. The results of the survey indicate that parents feel more strongly about passing on their religious views than their political views. Overall, 16% of parents say it’s extremely or very important that their children grow up to have political views that are similar to their own.
Hunt’s amendment calls for blocking youth from “religious indoctrination camp,” which the proposal defines as “a camp, vacation Bible study, retreat, lock-in, or convention held by a church, youth group, or religious organization for the purpose of indoctrinating children with a specific set of religious beliefs.”
Beyond Meat's sales fell over 22% in the third quarter of 2022, as the company is preparing to similarly cut 20% of its workers. The company has also lost several executives. According to the report, supermarket sales fell by 15% y/y as of Jan. 1 . . . Beyond Meat stock is also down around 67% vs. one year ago.
