‘He Believes This Is A Hollywood Script’: Eric Adams Hits Back At Texas Gov. Abbott For Bussing Migrants To NYC
Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams hit back at Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott amid their recent clash over bussing migrants to major cities across the U.S. Adams responded to the governor’s Wednesday comments on Fox News’ “The Faulkner Focus,” when Abbot compared himself to Hollywood actor Clint Eastwood stating, “go ahead Mayor, make my day.” Abbott’s remarks were in reaction to Adams’ threat to campaign for his opponent, Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke. “It’s unfortunate that he believes this is a Hollywood script, and it’s not,” Adams said Friday on CNN. “It is lives of human beings and to watch a governor lack coordination and show the humanitarian aspects of our country, placing people on a bus without adequate water, without adequate food, sending them to cities and in many cases they don’t understand the language. It’s just not who we are as Americans, so I don’t want to make his day. I want him to make the day of those that he is treating in … [Read more...] about ‘He Believes This Is A Hollywood Script’: Eric Adams Hits Back At Texas Gov. Abbott For Bussing Migrants To NYC

Woke Philosopher Michel Foucault Raped Children as Young as 8: Claim
French postmodernist philosopher Michel Foucault, whose writings have become central in modern woke ideology, has been accused of sexually abusing children as young as eight-years-old while living in Tunisia during the 1960s. Foucault, a vocal proponent of paedophilia in his writings, signed a petition to legalise sex with 13-year-old children in 1977. A contemporary intellectual, Guy Sorman, told Britain’s The Sunday Times that he witnessed Foucault courting young boys during his time in Tunisia when the French philosopher took a philosophy professorship at the University of Tunis. “Young children were running after Foucault saying ‘what about me? take me, take me’,” Sorman said. “They were eight, nine, ten years old, he was throwing money at them and would say ‘let’s meet at 10 p.m. at the usual place’,” he said, adding: “He would make love there on the gravestones with young boys. The question of consent wasn’t even raised.” Sorman said that while he regrets not coming … [Read more...] about Woke Philosopher Michel Foucault Raped Children as Young as 8: Claim
