Paris Fashion Week Showcases Gang Bangers!
Paris Fashion week glorified violent convicts and gang members, so edgy! I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. I don't take Fashion Week too seriously. Most of the clothing displayed is overpriced weird stuff that no one remotely normal would wear in real life. But a Mexican-American designer I've never heard of, Willy Chavarria, took that concept and kicked it up a notch. His exhibition in collaboration with the ACLU showcased models seemingly dressed to resemble the gang members housed in El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison. This stunt wasn't done to showcase clothing, but to send a worthless virtue signal about the treatment of murderers, rapists, and violent gang bangers in custody at CECOT. This designer also made his fashion show invites to look an immigration summons in a presentation of 'humanity.' It caught the eye of El Salvador's president who issued a scathing retort on X and generously offered to send the violent inmates to Paris! It's en vogue now to glorify rapists and murderers and the most violent gang members on planet earth. It's SHAMEFUL!

Waitrose accused of 'ridiculous virtue-signalling' after starting to sell gender-neutral CRUMPETS in store
Waitrose has been accused of 'ridiculous virtue-signalling' after introducing gender-neutral 'Crumpet People' to its stores. The snack comes in packs of four for £1.50 and is described as 'light and fluffy crumpets, just as fun as they are delicious'. But their debut follows the gradual removal of gingerbread men which have been replaced by gingerbread people at many supermarkets. And while Waitrose still sells a gingerbread man, others including Morrisons and Sainsbury's now offer gender-free options. Women's rights campaigners today questioned the new crumpets, with Party of Women leader Kellie-Jay Keen saying 'personally I just want them to hold enough butter'. She added: 'It's ridiculous. They are trying to virtue signal with something as nice as a crumpet. 'Are Waitrose just employing straight out of university morons who think this is a way for the company to show inclusivity?' The campaigner added she took issue with the idea everything should be 'made sexless' in order for women to be 'taken seriously'. She also recalled the move to replace gingerbread men with gingerbread people, saying 'nobody was upset about' them. 'I think most of these things people shrug it off with a laugh but I guess overwhelmingly if everything goes this way it does make a difference,' she told MailOnline. Jean Hatchet, a 'radical feminist activist from Sheffield' also branded the decision 'silly'. Speaking to MailOnline, she said: 'I think this is just silly. No one is offended by food being called 'man' or 'woman' as we weren't with gingerbread 'men'. 'It shows how ridiculously scared everyone, including retailers, have become around using accurate language for sex. 'The only issue is the reality of the sex of a woman being put at risk by refusing to acknowledge it as a biological reality. A crumpet doesn't have a sex.' Some shoppers have nevertheless praised the taste of the crumpet, with one saying 'love the Waitrose unusual crumpets especially the Crumpet People that are in store now'. Another said: 'Really tasty and such a great shape for small children.' Shelley Charlesworth, of Transgender Trend, which calls for an 'evidence-based approach to the medical treatment of gender dysphoric children and science-based teaching in schools', said: 'Goodness what happened to just crumpets? 'I guess calling them people and letting children decide whether, or even if, they are boys or girls, seems fine. A bit like Jelly Babies.' Criticism has Transgender campaigner Charlie Craggs said the crumpets were doing nothing to help the problems faced by the trans community. She said: 'Trans people literally do not care if Mr Potato Head or gingerbread and crumpet men are made gender neutral or non binary or whatever, we have much bigger problems, like being defined out of existence and out of public life by the Supreme Court. 'We do not want crumpet people, we want safety and to stop being hounded by JK Rowling's mob of women with ugly haircuts.' Meanwhile Shelley Charlesworth, of Transgender Trend, the UK's leading organisation calling for an evidence-based approach to the medical treatment of trans identified young people, added: 'Goodness what happened to just crumpets? 'I guess calling them people and letting children decide whether, or even if, they are boys or girls, seems fine. A bit like Jelly Babies.' In December, the Old Inn in Crawfordsburn, County Down, included a Gingerbread Person as a sweet treat on its £35 Festive Afternoon Tea Menu - blasted as 'wokery crap' by former Coronation Street actor Charlie Lawson. Mr Lawson, best known as Jim McDonald in the soap, said: 'It's just ridiculous, it's childish bloody nonsense - a Gingerbread Person!' Sainsbury's was also forced to defend itself last Christmas when it released a festive snack - breadcrumb-coated chicken dubbed 'gingerbread people with ketchup.' This followed on from a row in 2022 after it released a pack of two gingerbread people, although one had blonde hair and pink underwear. One shopper said on a Facebook page at the time: 'On come on!!!' A Waitrose spokesman said of the crumpet people: 'Customers love our crumpets and this new take on our trusty favourite brings a hole new level of fun for younger food lovers.'

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's response to Boulder terror attack slammed by World Series champion Kevin Youkilis
Two-time World Series winner Kevin Youkilis has called out congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for 'virtue signaling' after the New York Democrat condemned Sunday's antisemitic hate crime in Colorado. A dozen people were injured in a fiery attack in Boulder, where suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman has since told police he tried to kill demonstrators demanding the release of Hamas ' Israeli hostages, according to an FBI affidavit. The Bureau is treating the the incident as a hate crime. Ocasio-Cortez described the attack as 'horrific' and wrote on X that her 'heart is with the victims and our Jewish communities across the country.' 'Antisemitism is on the rise here at home,' she added, 'and we have a moral responsibility to confront and stop it everywhere it exists.' Youkilis, a three-time All-Star who won a pair of World Series with the Boston Red Sox, dismissed her message online. 'Jews are targeted with violence and it's the same virtue signal post time and time again,' he wrote on X. 'What have you done to confront those calling for intifadas in NYC? Until you create a plan of action, your repeated virtue signaling after the violence occurs holds no weight.' Youkilis appeared to be referencing pro-Palestinian protests in New York, where chants of 'long live intifada' were reportedly chanted by demonstrators. 'Intifada' is an Arabic word for a rebellion used to describe Palestine's various uprisings against Israeli occupation. For instance, the ongoing war between Israel and Gaza has been labelled by some as the 'Third Intifada.' Many have claimed the term and the slogan 'Globalize the Intifada' are inherently antisemitic. Nicknamed the 'Greek God of Walks' in the best-selling book, Moneyball, the 46-year-old Youkilis is actually Jewish and once served as the hitting coach for Team Israel at the 2023 World Baseball Classic in Miami. In addition to being an outspoken supporter of Israel, he's also Tom Brady's brother-in-law having married the quarterback's sister Julie in 2012. Sunday's violence in Boulder comes amid the growing global tensions over the Israel-Hamas war and a spike in reports of antisemitism in the US. Previously a man was heard yelling 'free Palestine' after allegedly shooting and killing two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington DC. As for Soliman, the suspect in Boulder, he allegedly told police he planned the attack for the last year as part of his desire to 'kill all Zionist people.' Since October of 2023, when Hamas-led militants abducted 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, roughly 60,000 people have been killed on both sides the conflict, according to multiple sources. Of those deaths, more than 95 percent are Palestinian, the Gaza Health Ministry reports. The fighting has resulted in a hunger crisis in Gaza, where nearly 2 million people have been displaced. Meanwhile Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been accused of strategically starving Palestinians in Gaza – an allegation he has denied. Since returning to office in January, President Donald Trump has attacked Palestinian support in American colleges by threatening to revoke funding for schools and visas for international students thought to be 'Hamas sympathizers.' Last month, the Trump administration revoked the visas of a reported 800 students, some of whom have had their statuses restored by courts.
