Queering the Genome
The nightmarish science fiction of H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley offered only the mildest foretaste of the horrors that are already unfolding:
An article published in Oxford’s Journal of Medical Ethics argues in favor of biotechnologically altering ova to permit lesbians to engage in same-sex biological reproduction. Bioethicist Adrian Villalba writes in “Queering the Genome”:
The potential alteration of genomic imprinting opens the door for an oocyte [egg] to exhibit characteristics similar to a sperm, allowing it to fertilise another egg. This can be achieved by inducing the expression of genes typically found in sperm but silenced in eggs, or conversely, by silencing genes imprinted in sperm and expressed in eggs.
As Peter Singer often demonstrates, no one tops left-wing bioethicists for ethical depravity.
Villalba proclaims that the twisted objective has already been achieved in mice, pups having been created with two mothers and no father.
To inflict this in humans would require experimentation that would cast aside the credo, “First, do no harm.”
There is no potential benefit to the child. The purpose is to advance LGBTism and radical feminism. Not only would it allow lesbian paramours to reproduce, all offspring would be female.
Confirming that he is well aware of the sociopolitical implications that no doubt motivated this line of research, Villalba writes:
The discussion on epigenome editing for same-sex reproduction transcends bioethics and delves into the realms of gender self-identification, the fluidity of reproductive roles, and the very essence of what it means to create a family.
One benefit of religion is that it reminds us to regard abominations with horror. Where moonbattery supplants religion, people worship horror.

Washington State Newspeak Dictionary Update
The purpose of Newspeak Dictionary updates is to control how we think by controlling how we talk so as to advance the liberal agenda. Washington State University’s Inclusive Language Guide provides examples, as reveal by Campus Reform.
To obliterate the distinction between male and female:
Words like “moms and dads,” “he/she,” “mankind,” “freshman and freshmen” as well as “upperclassmen and upperclassman” are all discouraged.
To destigmatize criminality:
The guide warns against mentioning past or present incarceration status, as well as “language that defines people by their crimes and sentences,” such as “felon,” “inmate,” “offender,” “convict” and “ex-con/ex-convict.”
To desanctify marriage by blurring its meaning:
The list also extends to romantic relationships, where the terms “husband/wife” and boyfriend/girlfriend” are to be avoided in favor of “spouse” and “partner.”
To promote the displacement of the American population via unlawful mass migration:
Another identity listed is national origin, and the words “illegal immigrant,” “foreign,” “first-world country” and “third-world country” are also discouraged. The site tells readers to “[r]emember that actions, not people, are illegal.”
The stated purpose of the guide is to assure no one says anything that could “exclude people” based upon identity. It’s still okay to say “Christofascist” and “bitter clinger” though.

October 7 and Muslim–Moonbat Alliance
Since the Islamic terror atrocities of October 7, the Democrat base has sided with Hamas. The UK-Israel All-Party Parliamentary Group’s 7 October Parliamentary Commission Report offers insight into what this means. Brendan O’Neill provides an introduction:
The youngest victim was 14 hours old. That was Naama Abu Rashed, a Bedouin Israeli, shot while still in her mother’s womb. The bullet went through her tiny leg. She was born gravely wounded, and later died. The oldest victim was Moshe Ridler, a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor. …
The methods of murder included shooting, burning, asphyxiation, grenade explosions and missile attacks. Many of the victims were subjected to mutilation, sexual violence and ‘other forms of deliberate brutality’, either before or after death. A woman was raped at gunpoint. Other women were raped in their bedrooms before being murdered. Rescue forces found women’s bodies ‘stripped of their underwear’ as well as ‘signs of semen’. The part of the report where I had to take a break from reading describes the discovery of a woman’s body where there had been ‘[the] insertion of a knife into the genital area’.
It was no spontaneous outburst. October 7 had been planned for years; 7,000 militants took part.
A twisted anarchist how-to for wannabe violent anti-Israel agitators has been circulating among Columbia University students — offering a deeply disturbing step-by-step to sowing chaos and destruction.
The chilling 14-page “underground manual” provides excruciatingly detailed tips to help commit destructive criminal acts…
Terror-supporting vandalism is intended to serve as extended follow-up to October 7, so as to amplify the point and drive it home.
Some Jewish Columbia students recently spotted the sick guide on the notorious radical website Unity of Fields, formerly known as Palestine Action US.
Palestinian Action US was the States-based arm of a group that initially wrote and distributed the manual in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks — and has praised recent violent protests at Columbia while including the university’s name in its handle on X.
Too bad the IDF can’t call in an airstrike on Columbia:
The elite school was the site of a rash of violent and disruptive anti-Israel protests dating back to last spring, when students and outside agitators erected a tent city on its Morningside Heights campus lawn for weeks.
The liberal establishment in both the USA and Europe is at best conflicted regarding whether it sides with Israel or Hamas — i.e., civilization or Islam. Not to decide is to decide in favor of the latter.

New York Imposes Composting
To live under moonbat rule means having every aspect of your life micromanaged by sanctimonious kooks. In New York, this now includes sorting food waste out of your garbage:
Starting April 1, residents will have to separate food waste from trash or risk receiving a $25 fine from the Department of Sanitation. …
Education materials developed by the [New York City Department of Sanitation] establish that food scarps and food-soiled paper should be set aside in compost bins instead of trash bags.
If you pay federal taxes (or hold inflated US currency), you helped pay for this:
[Department spokesperson Vincent] Gragnani said the department also has $2 million in federal funding to spend on advertising about the program.
You thought making people separate “recyclable” material would be enough to placate the Green Police? Nothing will ever be enough, because this isn’t about the climate or the delta smelt. It is about liberals’ ability to make you do whatever they say. After three separate bins for your garbage will come four.

Millionaire Charged With Keying Tesla
Largely due to moonbattery being the official ideology of the liberal elite, low-class behavior isn’t just for the lower classes.
From the Seattle suburb Issaquah:
Kamelia Enzler, 55, is facing charges of Malicious Mischief in the Third Degree after she was filmed vandalizing another driver’s Tesla Model Y on March 20 at the Issaquah Commons shopping center, according to police.
Yet another one caught on video:
NEW: The Karen who was seen keying a Tesla in Washington has been identified as 55-year-old millionaire Kamelia Enzler, according to the Daily Mail.
In footage obtained by @choeshow, Enzler was seen getting out of her car before slashing the Tesla.

We’ve seen a lot of this lately:
The keying came amid a spate of recent attacks on Teslas over owner Elon Musk’s work with the Trump administration.
However, investigators are calling this a road rage incident rather than politically motivated.
Regarding her background,
Enzler is married to Jeff Enzler, the lead software engineer at DocuSign, where he has worked for 12 years.
The couple lives in a $1.5million home in Bellevue, a stunning suburb of Seattle famed for its greenery and lakes. …
[S]he owns a fitness company called IPEAK FITNESS.

Most Ludicrous Excuses for Letting Migrants Stay
When it comes to allowing unlawful invaders from Islamoland to stay in the UK so as to displace the native population, any excuse will do.
An illegal Iraqi migrant who fled his home country over his part in an alleged exam fraud has avoided deportation after claiming a people smuggler threw away his ID and phone.
The unnamed Iraqi says that without the family contact info in his phone, he can’t replace his lost ID. So for now he gets to stay.
According to Daily Express,
[M]inisters have been warned “too many” foreign criminals have been allowed to stay for reasons which “defy common sense”.
Like being an alcoholic:
A Pakistani paedophile who attacked a teenage girl has been allowed to remain in the UK after successfully arguing that deportation would violate his human rights due to his alcoholism. …
Despite the Home Office issuing a deportation order, he appealed using the European Convention on Human Rights whilst serving a one-year sentence for assaulting the teenager.
He had been imprisoned for sex crimes previously.
He won his case after a judge ruled he would face “inhuman or degrading treatment” in Pakistan because of his “uncontrollable” drinking problem.
Bad behavior is rewarded in the UK on the grounds that it is frowned upon where the migrants originate:
This case follows similar incidents, including one in February where another Pakistani paedophile was permitted to remain in the UK after a judge ruled deportation would be “unduly harsh” because his family in Pakistan took a “dim view” of his crimes.
A trans-identified male in Giessen, Germany, has been sentenced to 10 months probation after repeatedly exposing his genitals in public, soliciting migrant children for sexual abuse, and spraying them with his urine. During the hearing, the public prosecutor assigned to his case argued that the crimes were simply an attempt by the man to “affirm her femininity,” to which the judge agreed.
While the identity of the 42-year-old perpetrator was withheld by German press due to strict privacy laws, Reduxx can name the man as “Sophie KoKo,” a Kazakhstan native with a long history of sex offenses.
The Muslim world might not be sending its best through the immigration floodgates.
