Suppressed gender study that debunks ideology quietly released * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Suppressed gender study that debunks ideology quietly released * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

"A clear acknowledgment of their data would reveal that puberty blockers offer no mental health benefit. Despite this, the release of these results had been delayed for years," said Dr. Kurt Miceli. "The full study once again demonstrates a lack of high-quality evidence supporting the so-called 'affirming' model." Because of Olson-Kennedy's political decision to withhold the tax-paid study, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and others launched an investigation.

Columnist at the Washington Post Lies About Poverty…Again Dan Mitchell

Simply stated, Porter’s chart is dishonest nonsense because it is not measuring poverty.
I have a special page called Poverty Hucksters, which features people or institutions (such as the Obama Administration, Steven Greenhouse, and the United Nations) that have deliberately lied about poverty...
Here’s a chart from his recent column in the Washington Post, augmented by my question about whether his numbers are accurate.

Simply stated, Porter’s chart is dishonest nonsense because it is not measuring poverty.

I’m not joking. If you read the fine print, what the chart really shows is the percentage of the population with less than half the median income...

Seems less of a stretch than the entire DNS swap of gender, right?-----House Bill 1309: Gender equity requires hair-affirming health care.

House Bill 1309: Gender equity requires hair-affirming health care - Complete Colorado - Jon Caldara

I have never shared this publicly, only with select friends and health care professionals. 

It is exceedingly personal and frankly awkward. 

But I know others have the same challenge. 

For them I share my story.

• I was born in the wrong body. 
• I identify differently than what my body outwardly expresses.
• The world wrongly sees me as follically-challenged. 
• I’ll use the modern vulgarism; hateful people call me, “bald.”

I didn’t ask to be this way. 

God put me in the wrong body. 

And I demand you pay to make me look as I identify.
You see, I identify as a man with wild, glorious, flowing locks of Fabio-like hair. 

I have the hair of 1970s rock-stars like Roger Daltrey and Robert Plant. 

That’s who I really am, even if you can’t see past my scalp.
I identify as haired. 

I mean, downright shaggy. 

You will accept me as such...

Charlie Kirk bulldozes through liberal talking points on 'toxic masculinity' in debate at Cambridge | Blaze Media

Charlie Kirk bulldozes through liberal talking points on 'toxic masculinity' in debate at Cambridge | Blaze Media: 

A believer in "toxic masculinity" challenged Charlie Kirk to defend his position against the "hyper-feminization" of the West, and the challenge led to a thoughtful discussion, even if combative at times. The Turning Point USA founder took on students of the Cambridge Union in the U.K. on Monday about various topics, but one exchange about toxic masculinity was especially engrossing.

There’s a problem, however. People have begun to notice things. -  John F. Di Leo

Foreign students pay full freight, as the saying goes...

• The big research universities have a quid pro quo in place with these foreign countries. 

We educate their children; they reciprocate, as they host that remote campus in their country, and they give great benefits to our students and teachers on their semesters abroad. 

No matter how dangerous the country, they make our remote campus a little tax-free oasis, an exotic temporary destination that helps polish our reputation...The money and accolades just flow right in.

There’s a problem, however. 

People have begun to notice things.

• A lot of these foreign students – especially the ones from China – have been linked with illegal technology transfers, where college research projects resulted in information being sent back to China, even export-controlled technology. 
• A lot of them lead Marxist community organizations, spreading anti-American propaganda and being politically active in ways that are illegal for noncitizens.
• And a lot of these foreign students – especially the ones from the Middle East – have been found running radical Islamic centers, recruiting people into Jihadist cells, even running anti-Israeli protests, beating up rabbis, barring Jewish students from their classes, shutting down buildings, intersections, neighborhoods, with tent cities and demonstrations in support of Hamas and other such terrorists...

Supreme Court hands DOGE and Trump two big victories | Blaze Media

Supreme Court hands DOGE and Trump two big victories | Blaze Media: 

The court found 6-3 that DOGE can have access to records at the Social Security Administration, with Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson saying they would have denied the request. The court also ruled 6-3 to pause a lower court order making DOGE responsible for answering FOIA requests. However, the case was sent back to the lower court with a narrower discovery order.

Is this more than a "coincidence"??!!

 

Worth understanding!-----Don't Let CBO Scoring Fool You Charlie Martin

There's been a whole lot of agita from the right-hand side about the "reconciliation bill" — the Big Beautiful Bill — that passed the House a few days ago. - Charlie Martin
A lot of it is based on the CBO scoring the bill as costing $4 trillion dollars in revenue. 

And why does the CBO think that? 

Because the CBO thinks the government is entitled to all the lovely tax money that would come in when the tax cuts from Trump's first term expire. 

• But the BBB went and extended the tax cuts. 

Those rats.
Stephen Miller explains the error:

Of course, along with that, a lot of people are complaining that the BBB didn't codify the DOGE spending cuts.
Which is all well and good, except that there are pretty strict limits on what a reconciliation bill can do...

US government-funded NGOs??!!

So, it appears Zelenskyy gave the go ahead to attack parked Russian nuclear capable bombers without informing @realDonaldTrump 

(if true that our President was not consulted nor informed, this isn’t simply a breach of protocol. It’s a geopolitical insult and a warning sign. If Ukraine is willing to conduct strikes with strategic consequences without notifying the White House, we are no longer allies with coordination issues—we are co-belligerents flying blind)...

FYI, Those bombers that were hit HAVE to be out in full view due to nuclear treaty obligations. 

Zelenskyy took advantage of that...
However, imagine any one of our big bomber bases having the exact same thing done to them...

Chinese national accused of smuggling BIOWEAPON into America | Blaze Media

Chinese national accused of smuggling BIOWEAPON into America | Blaze Media: 

FBI Director Kash Patel made a scary announcement this week — that a Chinese national has been accused of trying to smuggle a dangerous biological pathogen into the United States.

“I can confirm that the FBI arrested a Chinese national within the United States who allegedly smuggled a dangerous biological pathogen into the country,” Patel wrote in a post on X.

According to Patel, Yunqing Jian “is alleged to have smuggled a dangerous fungus called ‘Fusarium graminearum,’ which is an agroterrorism agent, into the U.S. to research at the University of Michigan, where she works.”

Everything You Need to Know about Government, in a Single Story-International Liberty - Dan Mitchell

I just read a story in the Washington Post that perfectly captures the inherent waste and inefficiency of the public sector.
Here are some excerpts.

• The 52-unit building under construction will house people making far below the area’s median income. 
• Half will be newly released from incarceration. 
• But the building’s development cost is enough to make the neighborhood’s wealthier residents blink: $1.2 million per apartment. 

That tab will be picked up in large part by taxpayers... 

The D.C. building, called Ontario Place, will include a rooftop aquaponics farm to produce fresh fruits and vegetables for its tenants, whose rents will be capped at well below market rates...

By the way, it isn't just just D.C. that is a cesspool of waste.
This is quite common in big cities controlled by the left. The article cites absurd projects in Chicago and San Francisco....

Unequal justice!-----Maxine Waters...but the fact she was just assessed a $68K fine for multiple federal election law violations.

Michael Smith - As a preface (or postscript as I have already... | Facebook - Michael Smith

...It was Maxine Waters.

• Not necessarily Mad Max, but the fact she was just assessed a $68K fine for multiple federal election law violations.
• Then I thought about Dinesh D'Souza who, a few years ago was convicted of exceeding campaign finance limits by $20K. His penalty? Eight months of overnight incarceration in a confinement center, $25K fine, mandatory psychiatric counseling, followed by 5 years of probation.

You know the difference.

• Max Max is a prominent, sitting Democrat who will not doubt have her fine paid out of campaign cash. 
• Dinesh is an outspoken conservative who suffered personally.

Two Israeli Diplomats were executed coming out of a Jewish museum in Washington the other day. 

Tragic on its own terms, it was also tragic because it is wholly unremarkable when you realize this is just one more small step up the permission scale and was entirely foreseeable. 

• If you want to assign blame, you have to focus your gaze on today’s Democrat party, which has conflated speech with violence, allowing violence as a response to speech, said that illegal aliens have the full due process rights of people in the criminal justice system, and egged on violent, totalitarian protest from those on the left...

A friend wrote to me, “There’s no difference between today’s Democrats and 1960s radicals.”
Ah! but there is. 

Women have been more radicalized than they were in the 1960s. 

During the 1960s, while women participated, including in the most extreme groups, most were milder than their male peers. 

That’s no longer true. 

There’s been a fundamental change in women’s societal roles from traditional to anti-traditional...

Supreme Court rules unanimously in heterosexual woman's discrimination case | Fox News: 

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled unanimously in favor of an Ohio woman who claimed she was discriminated against for job promotions in favor of gay candidates. The ruling, Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services, finds that members of majority groups in protected classes do not need to meet a higher standard of evidence in order to establish discrimination. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote the opinion of the court in the 9-0 decision.

Michael Shellenberger: How China Gained Control of Solar—And Why It Matters

“It’s now been revealed that the Chinese—who manufacture virtually all of our solar panels, both in the United States and Europe—have been installing cellular radios inside the inverters, which can act as kill switches,”
 says Michael Shellenberger, an investigative journalist, author, founder of Public, and CBR Chair of Politics, Censorship, and Free Speech at the University of Austin...

• In this wide-ranging interview, we dive into key vulnerabilities in America’s energy grid, how Trump is transforming America’s energy future, the current status of the “censorship industrial complex,” as Shellenberger describes it, and his continued fight for government transparency, including around unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).
