Texas Children's Hospital to clinic for detransitioners, pay $10M settlement | Fox News: 

The resolution brings to a close a years-long investigation by Texas' Healthcare Program Enforcement Division, which concluded that TCH fraudulently billed Texas Medicaid for "unallowable and illegal ‘gender-transition’ interventions," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in a Friday statement.

"Under the terms of this landmark agreement, Texas Children’s will establish the first-ever multidisciplinary clinic designed to provide medical care to patients who were subjected to 'gender-transition' procedures," Paxton wrote.

The Three Rs of Mail-In Ballot Fraud - How It’s Done 101

Washington state, one of the nation’s capitals of election corruption, provides us with a treasure trove of information. - Capt. Seth Keshel

• The foundation of the fraud, as I’ve said for years, is found in the voter roll. 

Without a voter roll, with voters forced to come in and present an ID, or meet strict requirements for receiving an absentee ballot, the only avenue of manual fraud available would be the Boss Tweed way of sending people to a voting center claiming to be someone they aren’t with a fraudulent ID card. 

• That would require felonious participation from far more people who would be willing to spend time in the clink.

I also wrote last year about how easy it is to organize a posse to collect ballots in an urban environment, using Orange County, California, as my example:
How Hard (or Easy) is it to Harvest 100,000 Ballots in One Major County?...

Democrats' Top Five Positions That Clash with Biblical Values

Democrats' Top Five Positions That Clash with Biblical Values: 

As the 2026 midterm elections approach, many Christians are wrestling with an important question: How do modern political platforms align with biblical truth? No political party perfectly reflects the values of Scripture. Both Republicans and Democrats fall short in different ways because all human systems are flawed. Yet for Christians seeking to think biblically about culture and politics, there are several prominent Democratic policy positions today that stand in direct tension with historic biblical teaching. Here are five of the clearest examples.

Catch 22...AGAIN!!-----WA's Spokane County Can Now Hold Property Owners Accountable for Letting Squatters Camp Out

Spokane County, Washington, has had an idea: - Ward Clark

A new ordinance puts property owners on the hook for the cost if the county has to clean up a homeless enclave on their property.

Spokane County now has the authority to recover abatement costs from private property owners if the owners permit encampments that create public health and safety concerns on the estate.

There's one possible downside I can see to all this: 

• Some of the squatters may not be willing to leave a property just because the owner tells them to.

The county code does not seem to hold any exemption for the simple refusal of a property owner's request.

For example, a vacant lot, owned by an elderly man who lives alone; he goes to the encampment, asks the homeless dwelling therein to leave, and they laugh at him and say no. What is he then to do? Try to run them off at gunpoint? Tempting, perhaps, but it's hard to see Spokane County going along with that.

Hageman: Gas prices show why climate shakedowns must end * WorldNetDaily * by Benjamin Roberts, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

States like New York and Vermont instituted climate superfund statutes to collect money from fossil fuels companies based on alleged harms from their carbon emissions. "They've come up with a very unique theory that because of climate change or global warming being caused, allegedly by our fossil fuel companies. They believe that they can sue them under some kind of a nuisance theory," Hageman continued, referencing the public nuisance justification many activist lawsuits depend on. "But the bill would prevent them from being able to pursue these lawsuits."

• KEIR STARMER BANNED FOREIGN JOURNALISTS FROM ENGLAND TO STOP A RALLY → 
• IT PRODUCED THE LARGEST ANTI-GOVERNMENT MARCH IN YEARS 

 The Home Office issued entry bans on 11 foreign nationals ahead of the 16 May 'Unite the Kingdom' rally in central London...

• To stop a march, Metropolitan Police deployed 4,000+ officers. 
• Live facial recognition. 
• Drones. Dogs. 
• Horses. 

The result: tens of thousands — some estimates reaching hundreds of thousands — flooding the streets of London anyway...

Must read!!-----"This tweet, with its extreme claims, caught my attention because Elon Musk reposted it.

I asked Gemini if any of these claims are accurate. It assured me that they are not. - i/o@avidseries

• I then asked Grok, which replied that the first four are in fact accurate, and it provided details and sources supporting its response. 

So, I went back to Gemini, copied and pasted Grok's reply into a prompt, and asked Gemini what it thought about what Grok had just told me. 

Here's Gemini's response: 

"I stand corrected... I apologize for my previous response. I attempted to separate fact from social media exaggeration but failed to properly verify the depth of the horrific testimonies from the actual trials like Operation Bullfinch and the Rotherham inquiries. 

The details you cited from Grok accurately reflect the devastating and brutal reality of what these victims endured."

Follow the money drain!

How to fix the woke teacher problem | Blaze Media: 

Schools of education are failing to educate America's teachers, and states should start looking elsewhere for suitable candidates.

It’s time to dismantle one of the most degraded sectors in American higher education: schools of education. The colleges responsible for training and certifying the majority of our nation’s teachers have become factories for mediocrity and indoctrination.

Media Ignore Senate Hearing on Fauci and COVID Lab Leak Allegations

Shocking Anti-Fauci Hearing SKIPPED by ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, PBS, WashPost, NY Times... - Tim Graham
On Wednesday, Josh Christenson at the New York Post (as well as conservative cable networks) reported on a hearing organized by Sen. Rand Paul featuring a CIA whistleblower:

A CIA whistleblower appeared publicly for the first time Wednesday to testify to a Senate panel that Dr. Anthony Fauci improperly “influenced” intelligence analyses about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic —  to downplay findings that it most likely resulted from a laboratory accident in China...

Fox's Jesse Watters proclaimed "Anthony Fauci is in big trouble. The little man in a lab coat got a lot wrong and never fessed up to any of it!"
But there has been no story on this Senate hearing on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, or NPR. Not only that, you can’t find it on the websites of The New York Times or The Washington Post...
