While many on the political left, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson, have trouble defining what a woman is, now video is emerging of the head of Michigan's schools having extreme difficulty stating how many genders exist.
Footage posted by LibsofTikTok shows Michigan State Superintendent Sue Carnell being asked directly: "How many genders are there?"
LibsofTikTok notes: "She draws a complete blank then refuses to answer when asked this simple question. This is the person responsible for Michigan kids' education. Crazy as hell."
When pressed again with the same question, Carnell finally proffered a response that did not specifically answer the question, as she replied: "Different people have different beliefs on that."
Her questioner fired back: "Well you can believe all you want, but science says there's two."
The video comes as the Michigan State Board of Education last week approved a new sex-ed curriculum for K-12 "which includes radical gender ideology and teaches that kids can be born in the wrong body," according to LibsofTikTok.
The Detroit Free Press reports the sexual health topics by grade include:
Some reaction online to Carnell's evasive response includes:
"If you can't even acknowledge such a basic reality as biology, why should you be entrusted to teach kids anything more complicated? This is the bedrock foundation of thought, and kids aren't even being taught it. No wonder students are struggling so much."
"I am reading a lot into her facial expression, and I am no expert, but she seems to be telegraphing that she knows the answer is two, but she also knows she cannot say that. This is how fear works."
"She can't answer because the question is biological, and her job is purely ideological. The left has installed activists, not educators, to run our schools. Her silence isn't confusion; it's the paralysis of a cult member whose dogma just crashed into reality. She is in charge of education but is a living testament to the failure of her own radical agenda. This is the goal: to destroy truth and replace it with this exact, incoherent, crazy-as-hell nonsense."

U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., released a bloody photo of himself on Saturday, revealing he had received 20 stitches from a fall earlier in the week near his Pennsylvania home.
"20 stitches later and a full recovery, I'm back home with @giselefetterman and the kids," Fetterman said on X.
"I'm overwhelmed + profoundly grateful for all the well-wishes. Truly.
"Grateful for @UPMC for the incredible medical care that put me back together."
"THANK YOU SO MUCH. See you back in DC."
A spokesperson for Fetterman previously indicated that Fetterman on Thursday morning "sustained a fall near his home in Braddock."
"Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh," the spokesperson said.
"Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries.
"Senator Fetterman had this to say: 'If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!'
"He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen.
"Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care."
In 2024, both Fetterman and his wife were injured when the senator crashed their car into the back of a Chevy Impala in Maryland.
A police report noted Fetterman was "at fault," as he was traveling "at a high rate of speed, well over the posted speed limit" at the time of the collision.
Feterman suffered a stroke in May 2022, after which the Democrat said he had difficulty fully processing language.

Illegal alien truck drivers, including those who sometimes cannot read or speak English or recognize road signs, must have roadway rights, according to a panel of judges who ruled on the Trump administration's effort to crack down on dangerous – and deadly – big rig operators.
A report published at Fox News said the ruling means the Department of Transportation's limits on aliens getting commercial vehicle licenses cannot be enforced at this point.
The restrictions were created quickly after an illegal alien truck driver in Florida was accused of causing a tractor-trailer crash that killed three people.
Multiple other similar situations have developed since then, also costing lives.
Several of the truck drivers have tried to make U-turns through interstate medians, a maneuver that already is illegal, and have cause huge crash pileups.
The Florida case, near Fort Pierce, involved Harjinder Singh, of India.
He was in the United States illegally, and now has pleaded not guilty to three counts of vehicular homicide for his accident.
The ruling claimed the federal government didn't follow procedures to create the rule.
Singh had gotten his license from California, and failed his exams multiple times.
A later audit of the state records prompted the revocation of some 17,000 such licenses.
According to the report, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, representing some 150,000 truckers, thanked the Trump administration for working to "restore commonsense safety standards."
It said in a statement, "OOIDA applauds the Administration for seeing through the myth of a truck driver shortage and continuing efforts to restore commonsense safety standards on our nation's highways. Pausing visas for commercial truck drivers will help ensure only qualified individuals get licensed. Additionally, there is unlikely to be any negative effect on the supply chain, as the trucking industry continues to face overcapacity."
Already, federal officials have withheld $40 million from California because of its refusal to enforce English language requirements for truck drivers.

It may be true. Or not.
But a stunner has been found in the release of convicted sex offender Jeff Epstein's emails.
One says it is his opinion that Hillary Clinton was "doing naughties with Vince," presumably the suicided Vince Foster.
Democrats since President Donald Trump re-entered the White House have been demanding the release of everything Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting that they include damning information about Trump.
Of course, the Biden administration had access to those items for years, and never was able to dig out anything that it could use against Trump. While Trump was acquainted with Epstein, he cut off the relationship years before the sex offender's lifestyle was known. In fact, one Epstein case insider testified under oath that she was not aware of misbehaviors by Trump.
But now, some of those messages are becoming available, and it appears to have rebounded on the Democrats.
As, according to a report at the Gateway Pundit, one 2016 message from Epstein to disgraced author Michael Wolff "appears to allege that Hillary Clinton has a sexual affair with former White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster."
Wolff had asked Epstein for a summary on "Nussbaum/foster."
The May 25, 2016, message includes, "nussbaum white house counsel . . hillary doing naughties with vince."
The Nussbaum apparently is White House counsel Bernard Nussbaum.
Foster, a longtime Clinton ally, was founded dead July 20, 1993, in Fort Marcy Park, Virginia.
Investigations concluded it was suicide, but, the report said, "Circumstances, such as the lack of fingerprints on the gun, inconsistencies in witness statements, and the missing bullet, have fueled decades of conspiracy theories suggesting foul play by the Clintons."
The evidence on site, the report said, suggested the body may have been moved there from elsewhere.
And, the report said, no fingerprints were found on the gun, a strange circumstance for a suicide.
One social media personality wondered, "Is this evidence that the emails are real?"

Former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is now going to war with President Donald Trump, saying the commander in chief "just made a bunch of sh** up about air-traffic control" concerning travel issues amid the government shutdown.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Trump issued a scathing warning Monday to some air-traffic controllers, while praising others.
"All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!!" Trump exclaimed in a lengthy message on Truth Social. "Anyone who doesn't will be substantially 'docked.'"
"For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn't take ANY TIME OFF for the 'Democrat Shutdown Hoax,' I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country.
"For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn't step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record."
Buttigieg reacted more than once on X, first indicating: "The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through – and the way this administration has treated them from Day One – he has no business sh***ing on them now."
He then played video of Trump in the Oval Office Monday, with the president saying Buttigieg "spent billions of dollars trying too patch together our air-traffic control system, which was a conglomeration of all different systems and all different cities. … And when they turned it on, it didn't work. It didn't even work a little bit."
"Other than mostly pronouncing my name right, everything he said was wrong," Buttigieg responded. "He just made a bunch of sh** up about air-traffic control.
"This is a system that was in pretty rough shape by the time he lost in 2020 and we took it over. So we improved it, including launching a long-term communications fix that is still underway that he is now passing off as his idea.
"And thanks to our work, this year he became the first president in decades to inherit an air-traffic control workforce that was actually growing instead of shrinking."
Sean Duffy, Trump's secretary of transportation, fired back at Buttigieg, saying: "Give me a break. You were basically AWOL at the DOT. I spend my whole day dealing with your neglect and cleaning up your messes. Sit this one out."
Also jumping into the fray was Joanie Scott, a retired air-traffic controller with 34 years of experience, who destroyed Buttigieg's claims more than once on X.
"You are a liar," Scott told Buttigieg. "President Trump was right to call out the Air Traffic Controllers who laid out during the shutdown."
"Every one of them is eligible through their Credit Union for a no-interest, short-term loan, repayable upon back pay when the government reopens. Or, they can borrow against their TSP and repay it to themselves when they receive back pay.
"Not one single Air Traffic Controller can claim financial hardship because of these two well-established, common practices that have been in place every shutdown for decades.
"I know this because I worked for the FAA for 34 years. The only Air Traffic Controllers who laid out during the shutdown were the ones intentionally making a political statement in order to make things difficult for the American flying public."
In another post, Scott told Buttigieg: "I retired because of how you and the Biden administration, to use your words, sh** on every employee at the FAA and ruined a once fine agency.
"You allowed men into my office bathroom. I had to work with and for people you hired and promoted because of the color of their skin or who they have sex with who were wholly and completely unqualified for their job.
"You FORCED me to inject an experimental dangerous drug into my body in order to keep my job and paycheck. You, sir, can sit down and shut up."

A new insider survey from Democrats themselves confirms the party of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and now Muslim "democrat socialist" Zohran Mamdani is in "a progressive fog," unmoored from the realities of regular people.
In fact, 70% of respondents say the party is completely "out of touch," up from only 51% with that perspective about a decade ago. At the same time, those considering Republicans "out of touch" dropped from 70% to 65%.
Voters want, at their highest priorities, Democrats to protect Social Security and Medicare, lower everyday costs and make healthcare affordable, all goals that current Democrat leaders essentially have left unaddressed.
The voters say the Democrats lowest priorities should be protecting illegal aliens, raising taxes for social agenda programs, and creating special considerations for LGTB Americans, which all are high priorities for the party.
It was a commentary by Jon Caldara at Complete Colorado that took the party apart. His conclusion was that the insider report "shows Democrats are detached from reality."
"Outside of Colorado, Democrats are still panicked about President Donald Trump's victory, trying to figure out how Americans can be so stupid as to reject their elitist-driven, woke socialism. But inside Colorado, Democrats see no need to worry. Unchecked power tends to do that," he noted, citing the report from "Welcome."
Its report, "Deciding to Win," involved six months of work and hundreds of thousands of voter interviews.
"Here's what voters told them: the Democrat Party is too consumed by climate change, identity politics and 'saving democracy,' and not nearly enough about the stuff that decides whether you can pay your mortgage or afford meatloaf (of course, meatloaf is murder. How many meat-out days do you need to get that?)," the analysis confirmed.
"Specifically, their deep dive found voters want the Democratic Party to prioritize (in this order): protecting Social Security and Medicare, lowering everyday costs, making health care more affordable, creating jobs and economic growth, cutting taxes on the middle class, lowering the rate of crime, and securing the border."
And Democrats should run away from issues like, "Protecting the rights of undocumented workers, raising taxes to increase spending on social programs, protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, fighting climate change, promoting unions and union jobs, promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, and reducing police brutality."
Caldara, left stunned writing his commentary, said, "Holy crap — voters want Democrats to turn into Republicans, sans the social stuff like abortion."
He said in Colorado, which is under the thumb of Democrats in the governor's office, the state Supreme Court and the legislature, it gets worse.
"Our legislature treats every session like a grad-school seminar in progressive performance art. They churn out bills on pronoun policies and green-energy mandates faster than their fans can spray-paint 'No Kings' on a highway viaduct. Meanwhile, working Coloradans are stuck choosing between paying their Xcel bill and making rent," he warned.
He cited the poll's confirmation of an extremist leftist exploding among Democrats.
Since Obama left the White House, he noted, "[Democrat] support for a ban on so-called 'assault weapons' grew from 41% to 88%; support for giving full voting rights to federal prisoners grew from 4% to 44%; banning all state abortion limits from 66% to 98%; and support "studying" reparations for descendants of slaves from 1% to 57%."
Nationwide voters dislike and oppose any use of tax dollars for EVs, for "funding someone else's luxury car purchase."
In Colorado, "The EV gravy train just keeps rolling, you know, to save democracy."
Huge "trust deficits" for Democrats are found on crime, border security, and he said for Colorado Dems, "If they spent half as much time worrying about grocery prices as they do about greenhouse gases, they might notice working families are suffocating — not from CO2, but from the cost of living under their web of regulations and mandates."
The survey told Democrats to focus more on "the economy, the cost of living, health care, border security, public safety" and less on "climate change, democracy, abortion, identity and cultural issues."
It also warned the number of voters insisting Democrats are "too liberal" has exploded while at the same time those who think Republicans are too conservative has plunged.
It shows 46% said Barack Obama was too liberal, 52% said the same of Hillary Clinton, 39% said that of Joe Biden and 50% said that of Kamala Harris.
And support for the party from non-college-education Latinos is down 16%, from non-college-educated AAPI voters is down 15% and from all black voters down 11%.
It claimed that political institutions are biased against Democrats, but warned that had there been more voters in 2024, President Trump would have won by a larger margin.
It also charges that Democrat donors and elites are far more liberal than other party members.
And it devastatingly found, "Voters trust Republicans more on most of the issues they see as top priorities."
Hugely unpopular are agendas Democrats have adopted like abolishing police, abolishing prisons, free health care for illegals, lowering the voting age, boosting alien admissions and returning to racist affirmative action plans.
Ideas Democrats oppose, but are supported by the GOP and are very popular with voters, include calling cartels terrorist organizations, banning man from women's sports, eliminating taxes on Social Security, and requiring IDs to vote.
It reported Biden was on a losing path in the 2024 race, before being replaced by Harris, because of his surging inflation, his unpopular immigration practices, and an overemphasis on abortion.
To win? The party must change its priorities to align with and listen to voters.

There are multiple factors to which Zohran Mamdani's win in the race for New York City's mayor's office can be attributed.
The surging extremism in the nation's Democrat party, failed competition, the massive leftist fundraising machine behind him, an exhibition of hate toward the Trump administration, the leftist American media pushing his ideas of "socialism," Marxist and communist as they were.
But several Qatari journalists claim it's because Hamas terrorists did something great on Oct. 7, 2023, and now everyone knows Israel is evil.
Mamdani, of course, boasts of his Muslim identity and adherence to a faith that sets as a goal hatred of Jews and the destruction of Israel.
And what the Hamas terrorists did was an act of war against Israel, when invaders carrying death with them attacked and slaughtered about 1,200 Israeli civilians, often in horrific methods like burning and beheading. The terrorists also carried off about 250 hostages. The last living hostages were released just weeks ago under a ceasefire plan developed by President Donald Trump, and the bodies of those hostages killed still have not all been returned.
It is the Middle East Media Research Institute that documented the comments from "Qatari journalists and media figures" after Mamdani's election.
They wrote, the report said, "that Mamdani's victory reflects a major perceptual shift in the U.S. and the world and the decline in Israel's international standing."
From Abdullah Al-Amadi, a Qatari journalist, was, "What is happening in the U.S. is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the outcomes of the Al-Aqsa Flood. The American public has understood—after many long years of imposed slumber, in which Zionism played a role—that supporting injustice and oppression is a moral failure… It is thanks to this understanding that a Muslim candidate who opposes the Zionist aggression won the mayoral race in New York, while the candidate favored by the Zionists, who was supported even by the American President himself or by the oligarchy in general, lost [the race], even though New York is considered to be the second-largest concentration of Jews in the world!!"
President Donald Trump has, in fact, worked closely with Israel on the ceasefire plan and at one point, when Hamas terrorists were refusing to cooperate, suggested that he would endorse Israel going into the Gaza strip militarily, and destroying whatever remained of the terror organization.
The report also cited Ayman Azzam, a "presenter" on Qatari's Al-Jazeera network.
Azzam "shared a post by Somali social media activist Hiba Shukri that attributed Mamdani's victory to October 7 and the boost it gave to the anti-Israel movement. Azzam commented: 'The world is changing; The manifestations of the Flood have an impact,'" the report said.
Also, Ahmad Mansour, also of Al-Jazeera, claimed "Trump is trapped between Zohran Mamdani in New York and [Muslim mayor] Sadiq Khan in London."
It wasn't clear how an American president could be "trapped" between two Muslim mayors.
And from Jaber Al-Harmi, of the Qatari state daily Al-Sharq, was, "Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York—the capital of the Zionist lobby, which is considered to be the largest stronghold of the Jewish community in the world—despite all the smear campaigns [against him] and despite his opponents receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from dozens of billionaires supporting the Israeli entity."
Al-Harmi continued, "Mamdani, of Afro-Asian descent, is the first Muslim to hold this position. He has described the events in Gaza as barbaric crimes and a genocide war, and he supports the BDS movement. Two years ago, no one could have imagined such a major shift against the Zionist narrative. The steadfastness and resistance of our people in Gaza have turned the tables on the Zionists and exposed their colonialist settlement project to the entire world."
Trump's ceasefire plan for Hamas and Gaza has many points, including those looming that include Hamas being disarmed and removed from power in Gaza.

U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat on the ballot to be governor in New Jersey, has proven to be reluctant to admit the obvious and face facts.
After the Democrats in the U.S. Senate demanded the Republican party reach into taxpayers' pockets for $1.5 trillion for benefits for illegal aliens, Obamacare subsidies and leftist propaganda machines, the GOP declined and the Democrats sent the government into the now-record Schumer Shutdown.
Republicans had wanted a continuing resolution that effectively left government spending at its current levels. Multiple Republicans have confirmed they'll work with Democrats on their agenda points once the government reopens.ADVERTISEMENT
Despite the obvious reason for the shutdown, Sherrill claimed it was the Republicans who didn't agree.
"Washington Republicans have once again shown they're willing to turn their backs on the American people in order to blindly follow Donald Trump's demands. Instead of working with Democrats to lower costs, protect health care, and support working people, Washington Republicans bent the knee to Donald Trump, shutting down the government in the process," she issued in a wildly out-of-touch statement.
"New Jersey families and the American people deserve far better. Washington Republicans must come to the table immediately to find a bipartisan consensus on a plan that reopens the government, keeps costs from rising even higher, and extends critical healthcare tax credits that working families rely on."
She further demanded taxpayers give money to the abortion cartel's leading player, Planned Parenthood, for the destruction of the unborn.
She insisted on the necessity of "reproductive health care."
It seems Sherrill also is out of touch with Supreme Court precedent.
It's because she says parents should have no rights to opt their children about of offensive LGBT lessons that violate their religious faith.
The Supreme Court just weeks ago, in fact, confirmed that a school district in Montgomery County, Maryland, must allow parents to opt children out of those lessons if they want.
The district had been forcing those lessons on all children.
Sherrill said parents shouldn't be allowed to take their kids out of classes that teach lessons violating their faith.
"I would push an LGBTQ education into our schools. Parents have a right to opt out of a lot of things, but this is not an area where they should be opting out. … This is an area of understanding the background of people throughout our nation," she charged.
Social media responders were outraged at her demands:
"This woman doesn't want you to have parental authority over your children."
"Their goal is to brainwash and confuse the vulnerable. We can't let it happen."
"The government doesn't get to tell a parent they can and can't opt out of based on their religious beliefs."
"Leftists do not even try to hide that they will implement a Marxist agenda where the state makes the choices for its hapless (and helpless) people. In America, we have the unique opportunity to reject this evil…":
"Exercise your right to opt-out from Mikie Sherrill today."
Jack Ciatarelli is opposing her for the governor's office.

A justice on the state Supreme Court in Maryland has undermined the public's confidence in that institution by posting on his lawn leftist political ideologies.
Like "Here lies the Constitution," "RIP Freedom of Speech," "RIP Food Aid," "Beware Health Insurance Cuts," "RIP Due Process" and "RIP Climate Science."
Those political agendas all have been in government, the courts and the news recently, and have divided America.
Now is it Justice Peter Killough, an appointee of a Democrat governor, who is pushing the leftism in the public, a move that is raising concerns from those who note that the public expects courts, and justices, to publicly be neutral on controversial topics, regardless of their personal agendas.
The fact that the global warming ideology is prominent especially raised concerns, as the court now is considering a high-stakes environmental fight. In that fight, Baltimore politicians are suing major oil companies under their claims that the corporations misled the public about the role of fossil fuels in what has been claimed to be "climate change."
An official with the court system claimed the signs "belong to Justic Killough's wife."
"No further comments," the official added.
A report at Fox explained, "In an interview with Fox News Digital, former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Andrew Gould said these signs indicate a clear bias on Killough's part and raise serious questions about whether he should be involved in such a high-stakes climate case."
Gould said the display now has "cast a shadow over the decision."
"The public, whatever side you're on, is inevitably going to feel distrust. If it's a case where he has such strong political leanings, then he shouldn't have sat on it. The problem now is … the case has already been argued. The briefs have already been submitted. It's already been sent to the court to issue a ruling. How can you un-ring the bell now?"
It's not the first controversy to engulf Killough. In 2022 he was accused of a "catch and release" agenda to release dangerous criminals brought before him.
The report said, "In one particularly egregious case, he released a 12-year-old who admitted to shooting and killing another teen, giving the perpetrator monitored probation instead of detention."
"People have to believe that judges are fair; they haven't prejudged the case. So, it is a problem.," he said.

The state Supreme Court in Texas has issued a critical decision that protects religious freedom in the state.
Leftists had demanded that to be "neutral," the state's judges were required to participate in the LGBT ideology by performing "weddings" for same-sex duos, and more.
But now with a simple rule change statement, the state's highest court has killed that agenda.
A report at the Washington Examiner explains the justice on the bench said that judges who "publicly refrain from performing a wedding ceremony based upon a sincerely held religious belief" are not breaking any court system rules.
That comment was added to the state's judicial conduct code.
The move amended Canon 4 of the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct. It was filed with the secretary of state and sent to the governor and other officials.
The problem had been highlighted by a fight for religious freedom conducted by Waco Justice of the Peace Dianne Hensley. She declined to perform same-sex weddings, instead referring people to another authority within walking distance, and who would perform the event in the same time frame and at the same price as Hensley.
The state Commission on Judicial Conduct has accused her of violating the rules, and she sued, explaining there were a number of constitutional and legal protections for her to live by her Christian faith.
The commission had claimed her adherence to her faith showed a "bias" against some Texans.
"For providing a solution to meet a need in my community while remaining faithful to my religious beliefs, I received a 'Public Warning.' No one should be punished for that," Hensley said.
The commission ultimately withdrew its admonishment to Hensley when the state Supreme Court confirmed her lawsuit had legal standing, but it has not yet been resolved.
Another case involved Jackson County Judge Brian Umphress, the Examiner noted.
"The North Texas judge says his religious beliefs constrain him to only officiate heterosexual weddings. He is also challenging the commission's application of Canon 4 that was used against Hensley, contending it is unconstitutional and expressing concern that he could face the same sanctions," the report said.
