The government space agency is promoting transgender and nonbinary individuals, including men posing as women, as part of its Pride Month celebration of diverse teams.NASA posted a video in support of Pride Month to promote "self-affirmation, dignity," and equal rights, the space program said, while adding that it wanted to create awareness of diversity and gender variance.Despite the fact that the video was originally published in 2022, NASA had no issues with repurposing it for its 2024 push for sexuality- and gender-based hiring.In the video, Rebekah Reed, associate director of exploration, integration and science directorate, stressed the idea that children need to be able to relate to "diverse" NASA employees. This includes gay, transgender, and allegedly nonbinary workers that were shown in the video."Every person, every kid, if they can see themselves in the astronauts that we send out in space, but also in the teams that make that possible, then we're doing our job," she claimed."We're doing incredibly difficult and complicated things," she continued. "We want people that look at things from a different perspective, that can bring us new ways of solving problems, and diverse and inclusive teams do that."Also appearing in the video was a man named Amy Lendian, a protective systems engineer.Lendian said that if someone is in the closet, seeing people like himself doing their jobs and being effective is "the biggest encouragement" he can give. He added that being a man who believes he is a woman, while working at NASA, shows that he can successfully complete his job while being his "true self." "They accept me 100%. All together working on this."'For the first time, we have raised the Intersex Progress Pride Flag at a NASA.'On a multimedia page dedicated to Pride, Lendian made further remarks about being transgender, noting that he has worked on the Artemis moon project. "So here I am, a transgender woman, an engineer, working at Kennedy Space Center, and I get to work around these really smart, wonderful people, supporting the Artemis mission," he said.Harel Dor, a robotic systems engineer, also appeared in the Pride video. He spoke about the importance of using his plural pronouns because he is "nonbinary."Dor shared a story about participating in a "candidate lunch," where he met someone who also uses the same irregular pronouns.The video showed a photo of Dor dressed in women's clothes while he recalled that it "felt really nice to see someone else in the room using those pronouns.""I made sure to introduce myself with my pronouns so that they could know you're not the only one here," he added. Days after promoting the video, NASA's Ames Research Center announced that it decided to fly the "intersex progress" flag at the government facility. The flag promotes transgenderism, as well as racial politics."For the first time, we have raised the Intersex Progress Pride Flag at a NASA center to commemorate #PrideMonth," the government entity wrote on X.NASA also claimed that there are still "obstacles in achieving full acceptance and protections for the LGBTQ+ community" but noted that they will continue to "rise" together to achieve their goals at NASA.The space agency then said that there had been "significant contributions of LGBTQ+ employees" and that it recognizes their contributions to "advance NASA's priorities." — (@) Like Blaze News?

Is the idea of a “global cabal” just a conspiracy theory, or is there any truth to it? Award-winning journalist Alex Newman thinks he may have an answer. “I would say, first of all, there’s two ditches that one can fall into on these issues,” Newman tells Glenn Beck. “There’s the one ditch, and some people fall into this ditch, that these individuals, these organizations, are so powerful they practically attribute divine, God-like powers.” “That’s ludicrous,” Newman continues. “They’re not God. They don’t control things.” The other “ditch” people fall into when discussing the “global cabal” is that “‘there’s nothing to see here.’” “It’s not just a nice non-partisan think tank,” Newman says, referencing the Council on Foreign Relations. While it's not just an innocent meeting of the minds, not every one of the elites involved is an “evildoing conspirator who wants to enslave humanity.” “It’s a real group; it has been incredibly influential in setting policy in the United States for generations,” he explains. While these global groups are full of many benevolent elites, they're also full of nefarious actors. Glenn says that those behind it all feel that "the unwashed masses, they don’t understand." So they need to get the media on their side. “We’ll teach it to the media, so the media can help teach it to the people,” Glenn explains from their point of view, calling this "un-American" and a "brainwashing center." One word that was taught to the media, and thus the American people, was “conspiracy.” “This is something that the CIA tried to popularize as a term of ridicule,” Newman explains. “The word ‘conspiracy’ just means two or more people working in secret on some immoral, illegal, or nefarious objective.” “We’re trained almost like Pavlov’s dogs, we’re conditioned to recoil in horror when somebody says the term ‘conspiracy,’” he adds. Now Americans have been conditioned to look past what’s true if someone has labeled it a “conspiracy theory.” “We’re in a world where truth is no longer a defense,” Newman says.

A police chief has voiced outrage after a man with "no legal status" in the United States allegedly caused a car crash in southeastern Michigan that claimed the lives of two women.Just before 1 p.m. on Thursday, Jose Medina-Hernandez, 33, was driving a box truck southbound on M-53 in Shelby Township, about 30 miles north of Detroit. Suddenly, Medina-Hernandez allegedly ran into a Buick Verano, triggering a series of car crashes involving at least two other vehicles, a press release from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office said.'Our office is committed to ensuring that justice is served and that the responsible party is held accountable for their actions in this incident.'In the Buick Verano were two women, 63-year-old Crystal Brunn and her 88-year-old mother, Nancy Richmond. Both died as a result of the crash, though whether they died immediately is unclear.Medina-Hernandez was taken to the hospital for undisclosed injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening. About a mile stretch of M-53 also had to be closed for hours that day to process the scene and tend to the victims.Medina-Hernandez was later charged with two counts of moving violation causing death, a misdemeanor offense that carries a sentence of up to one year in jail. He remains in custody on $250,000 bond. No other court dates in connection with the case have yet been scheduled."Our office is committed to ensuring that justice is served and that the responsible party is held accountable for their actions in this incident. We extend our deepest condolences to the families affected by this senseless loss," said a statement from Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido.Several local media outlets have described Medina-Hernandez as a resident of Westland, another Detroit suburb. The press release from the prosecutor's office made no mention of Medina-Hernandez's immigration status. However, an investigation later determined that he is actually an illegal alien, though his country of origin has not yet been reported."I am distraught over the fact that the suspect, Jose Eugenio Median-Hernandez (sic) was found to have no legal status in the country," Shelby Township Police Chief Robert Shelide said in a statement.Shelide claimed that the accident was "definitely ... preventable." He also extended his condolences to Brunn and Richmond's loved ones.According to WWJ, ICE has been contacted about Medina-Hernandez's case.Like Blaze News?

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Adobe is overhauling the terms customers must agree to when using its apps in an effort to win back trust — and clarify that it won’t train AI on their work. The change, announced via a new blog post, comes after a week of backlash from users who feared that an update to Adobe’s terms of service would allow their work to be used for AI training. The new terms of service are expected to roll out on June 18th, and aim to better clarify what Adobe is permitted to do with its customers’ work, according to Adobe’s President of Digital Media, David Wadhwani. “We have never trained generative AI on our customer’s content, we have never taken ownership of a customer’s work, and we have never allowed access to customer content beyond what’s...

Image: Ubisoft The reveal of Assassin’s Creed Shadows mostly focused on its story, characters, and setting. But a new trailer gives a better idea of how the game will actually play. The lengthy gameplay overview, which clocks in at around 12 minutes long, shows off the game’s sprawling rendition of Japan, while also detailing the different skills and approaches of its two playable leads. It’s also very bloody. This is the game’s second gameplay trailer in as many days. Ubisoft also released a shorter clip during the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday: Shadows is the latest entry in the series to have dual protagonists (see: Assassin’s Creed Syndicate), as players can choose between the samurai Yasuke and the shinobi assassin Naoe. It follows last year’s M... Continue reading…
