In an act of brazen political insanity, Democrats decides to make transgender indoctrination of children in their top 2022 issue.

The Biden administration taps the strategic oil reserve to lower gas prices, but will not increase drilling.

And new inflation indicators are hideous.

Have you ever played the game? Would you rather with your kids? Would you rather be a donkey or an elephant? That's an easy one. Well, here's another easy one. Would you rather overpay for cell phone service every month to a company with left-wing values or pay about half with PureTalk and support a company that doesn't hate you? It's time to ditch Verizon AT&T anti-mobile. Pure Talk has the same 5G coverage as one of the big guys, but saves the average family over 800 bucks a year. I made the switch. So what exactly is your excuse? You can keep your number, keep your phone, or get huge discounts on the latest iPhones and Android. They've got a limited talk, text six gigs of data for just 30 bucks a month, or get unlimited data and you can still save a fortune. Go to puretalk.com. Enter promo code Shapiro. You will save 50% off your very first month of coverage. That is puretalk.com. Promocode Shapiro. PureTalk is simply smarter wireless.

would tell jokes about things that are impossible and pretend that they're real. But we've moved

beyond that because everything is now possible. We live in a world in which if you say that a man

is a woman and a woman is a man, you can't say April

fools at the end of that sentence. This is just the going wisdom. Everything that would have

been in April's fools jokes, all those things. Those are now reality. And if you don't accept

those realities, it's because you're a bigot, you bigot. For some odd reason, the Democratic Party

has decided that its best electoral strategy these days

is to say that boys are girls and girls are boys and that boys who cut off their penises are

girls and girls who have surgeries to put on prosthetic penises.

Those are boys.

And that anybody who has a hormone treatment is also a member of the opposite sex.

And anybody who suffers from gender dysphoria is a member of the opposite sex, and that if you, as a parent, say, no, my little boy's a little boy, not a little girl. And if you say, public school teachers should not tell my little boy that he's a little girl or might be a little girl, then this means that you're a bad person and a bigot and a terrible human being. In fact, we must mainline this ideology into every aspect of our educational systems

to us to create a better, more tolerant, utopian world.

This is the entire outlook of the mainstream media.

This is the entire outlook of the White House now.

And it is insane.
