The Erasure of Mother and Father in New York

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 6/22/2026 12:03:00 PM

The first words out of my son’s mouth were “Mom” and “Dad,” words that capture the beautiful, natural reality of human life and family. Yet New York’s Democrat-controlled legislature has passed a bill that seeks to erase these foundational terms from state law, replacing “mother” with the clinical “gestating parent” and “father” with the soulless “non-gestating parent.” “Paternity” becomes “parentage,” and “putative father” yields to “alleged parent.” This Orwellian rewrite now sits on Governor Kathy Hochul’s desk.[snip]Mothers gestate and give birth; fathers provide the other half of the biological equation.

We didn't pay enough attention to PIAPS when she said "It Takes A Village".
Watching the Chinese kids performing when Trump visited China a while back was frightening. Same in Nazi Germany

Why identify a female as a 'gestating person' when in some realities females are unable to procreate, or had a child who did not live, choose not to procreate or choose the alter of abortion. This labelling is not inclusive.

WE cannot allow the left to control our language. It's a fact that only women can give birth. You're feeding the beast if you participate in their mindless word games

With all the issues facing NY I'm sure this is first most in the concerns of the citizens. Idiots!

Erasure - that is it! Not even moving over to accommodate the new extreme minority terms. Replacing them entirely, there is not even a nod toward normalcy. Normal is a derogatory place setting.

The Anthony Fauci, COVID-19 origins cover-up
runs ‘deep’ into our intelligence community

On her final day as director of national intelligence Friday, Tulsi Gabbard released damning declassified evidence accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci of causing the COVID-19 pandemic, engaging in a cover-up about the virus’s origins in China and lying to Congress about it. Perhaps most disturbingly, he was assisted by the US intelligence community.[snip] Meanwhile, the Washington Post did not publish a word about Gabbard’s Fauci revelations. Nor, for that matter, did any mainstream outlet on the left. The same news organizations that helped cover up the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, now overwhelmingly believed to have come from a leak from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, are still refusing to come clean.

Over a dozen community members demanded action against what they described as Islamophobic comments made by a Peoria Unified School District governing board member. During a June 9 district board meeting, speakers said Janelle Bowles had shared posts on social media rejecting Islam as a religion, claimed Muslim families indoctrinate their children and suggested the religion would take over the country. Several district staff and parents asked for her resignation or the governing board to formally censure her. Students told the board Bowles’ comments made Muslim students feel unsafe in their own schools and normalized prejudice against them.

Convicted killer Karmelo Anthony has claimed he’s “penniless” and can’t afford a lawyer for his appeal — despite his family collecting $625,000 in crowdfunding for his legal defense and “living expenses,” according to a report. Anthony, 19, made the assertion in a notice of appeal filed after he was found guilty of fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years behind bars, according to a report by ABC WFAA. Anthony — who was moved to a Texas state prison Wednesday — is “penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to represent me on the appeal,” reads the appeal form.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced Wednesday that Said Abdullahi Ereg, a former Minneapolis grocery and deli owner, had surrendered to federal authorities, marking the first person on the FBI’s new "Most Wanted Fraudsters" list to be taken into custody as federal authorities continue a nationwide fraud crackdown. Said Abdullahi Ereg, 47, faces charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud and money laundering. The FBI said Ereg, a former south Minneapolis grocery and deli owner, surrendered to federal authorities less than a week after the Justice Department unveiled its "Most Wanted Fraudsters" list, which is intended to publicly identify individuals charged in major fraud cases.

The “sweetest” elderly Mississippi couple were allegedly killed by a teenage burglar who then shot at cops during a six-hour standoff while barricaded in the house, according to authorities. Billy Blair, 74, and his wife, Virginia Carol Blair, 71, were killed after 17-year-old Cordarius Hobbs broke into their home last Wednesday, WLBT reported. Hobbs has since been charged with capital murder. Cops swooped on the Mendenhall home just after noon for a welfare check after worried relatives couldn’t make contact — but they encountered gunfire upon their arrival. The burglary was already taking place when police arrived and the front door was open.

Mere hours after the GiveSendGo fund supporting Karmelo Anthony was “unpublished,” activists supporting the teen murderer launched a petition calling for the arrest of Austin Metcalf’s brother, Hunter. The petition, which as of this writing still has fewer than 50 signatures, charges Hunter Metcalf with contributing to his brother’s death by “allegedly assaulting” Anthony. “As a member of the Black community in America, the ongoing injustices we face daily have reached a tipping point,” the petition reads. “Our community is fed up with the perpetual cycle of violence and discrimination that remains unchecked by a justice system that too often turns a blind eye to our plight.

The Obama Presidential Center finally opened to the public on Friday (not that you care), and the verdict from the internet was swift and brutal. People are calling it a "monstrous insult to architecture," a "concrete nightmare," and simply a "monstrosity." Social media has spent the week comparing the thing to a trash can and a dystopian movie set, which, having seen the photos, feels generous. It’s hideous. Naturally, the man who helped design the building's most mocked feature has a different take. Chris Bird, the Washington structural engineer who designed the upper portion of the center's towering centerpiece,

Unsuccessful 2024 Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris says the word “hope” should be “changed to a verb.” One problem with that. It already is. Hope can be used as both a noun and a verb. Don Lemon, her host on his podcast that appeared over the weekend, did not point that out. But those on social media, where the comment has gone viral, did as the sound bite was reposted on numerous X accounts. “It’s a noun: ‘I have hope that she never runs for any government office again,’” one user posted to X.

Democratic socialists are making gains in mayoral races across several of the nation’s largest cities. The latest breakthrough came in Washington, where Janeese Lewis George won the Democratic primary and is positioned to capture the mayor’s office in November in a city dominated by Democratic voters. Lewis George campaigned on a platform that includes subsidized or free child care, expanded assistance for homebuyers, community-based anti-crime initiatives and opposition to President Donald Trump’s efforts to reshape the nation’s capital. “People are tired of hearing what government can’t do. They want to hear what government can do,” Lewis George said before the primary election.

When the Democrats nominated Barack Obama to represent their party in the 2008 presidential election many voters consoled themselves with this thought: “Well, at least it’s not Hillary.” Unfortunately, preventing her from taking up residence in the White House was the last useful thing he did for the country. Indeed, from the moment he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize during his first year in office—before he could possibly have done anything noteworthy—it became clear that there would be a huge gap between his actual accomplishments and the celebration of his presidency.

Sen. Ruben Gallego repeatedly used campaign cash to fund luxury outings with his wife and to care for his children since launching his campaign for Senate in 2023, according to a POLITICO review of campaign finance records and a person familiar with the senator’s spending. The Arizona Democrat has used his leadership PAC to fund recent trips to Miami, Chicago, Disneyland and Disney World with his family. Gallego has tapped that PAC and his main campaign committee for more than $18,000 in reimbursements for child care since 2019 — including $400 to his wife’s mother for babysitting.
