‘Gender-Affirming’ Mastectomies for Children Soared 389% From 2016 to 2019

In 2016, approximately 100 adolescents underwent “gender-affirming” chest reconstruction surgery, according to a research letter published in JAMA Pediatrics. Only a few years later, the number of children receiving the gender-mutilating operations soared to 489, a 389% increase.

Researchers drew on data reported by the Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample to estimate that 1,130 chest reconstructive surgeries were performed on children from 2016 to 2019.

Over 98% of those surgeries were masculinizing mastectomies. Only 1.4% were feminizing, or augmentation, mammaplasties. Of the children who received the chest reconstruction surgery, 19.9% were also placed on hormone therapy.

Researchers noted that genital surgery is “typically not performed on adolescents” but that chest reconstruction surgeries “may be performed in outpatient and ambulatory surgery settings.” (Read more from “‘Gender-Affirming’ Mastectomies for Children Soared 389% From 2016 to 2019” HERE)

Democrat Plotting to Take Kids From Parents Who Won’t Trans Them Is Just Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud

Virginia Democrats plan to put us in prison and take our children from us if we do not endorse LGBT ideology.

Democrat Elizabeth Guzman has announced that she is introducing a bill in Virginia’s House of Delegates to “expand the state’s definition of child abuse and neglect to include parents who do not affirm their child’s gender identity or sexual orientation.” When asked about the possible penalties, Guzman replied, “It could be a felony, it could be a misdemeanor. … We know that CPS charge could harm your employment.” In short, not helping your confused adolescent daughter amputate her breasts and sterilize herself would be a crime for which the state will take your child away from you, ruin your career, and maybe lock you up.

This wicked proposal is the inevitable result of the false claims of the LGBT lobby, which have been repeated by Democrat leaders from President Biden on down. It is the logical conclusion of their assertion that children are intrinsically LGBT, and that their well-being and, indeed, their very lives, depend on the unconditional affirmation of their rainbow identities.

As I observed earlier this year, “if children are born LGBT, it follows that they should be raised by adults who will support them in these intrinsic, immutable identities. Thus, it was inevitable that the LGBT movement would begin taking children away from parents.” Guzman is just saying loudly what smarter Democrats have been whispering; she is making obvious the policies that they have been trying to implement more slowly and subtly.

The ideological root of this attack on parental rights is a sort of perverse sexual Calvinism that believes that some children are born into the rainbow elect. Scientifically this is false — the search for a “gay gene” quietly ended in failure, and there is even less evidence for a biological basis for transgender identities. Unlike sex, a person’s sexual attractions and so-called gender identity are shaped by a multitude of factors, such as the social contagion that is the transgender craze; we are not “born this way.” But the born-this-way narrative has been a potent, even decisive, weapon in the LGBT movement’s arsenal, and they are unwilling to let it go.

Air Force Warplanes Intercept Russian Bombers Near US State

Two Air Force warplanes intercepted a pair of Russian bombers flying in international airspace near Alaska, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said Tuesday.

NORAD said it “detected, tracked, positively identified and intercepted” the two Russian Tu-95 Bear-H bombers “entering and operating within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ).” They were intercepted by a pair of F-16 fighter jets.

“The recent Russian activity in the North American ADIZ is not seen as a threat nor is the activity seen as provocative,” NORAD said in a statement.

Air defense identification zones are airspace areas in which the identification, location and control of all aircraft is required in the interest of national security, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Moderna CEO Splits With CDC on COVID Booster Shots for Healthy Folks Under 50

If you’re young and healthy, you may not need a COVID booster shot despite what the CDC says, according to no less an authority than the CEO of Moderna.

While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending everyone above age five get booster shots, Stéphane Bancel begs to differ. Even though his company stands to continue profiting off its mRNA vaccine, it’s best to think of the boosters as annual flu shots, he said.

Even pro-vaccine skeptics have questioned why young, healthy people and small children need regular booster shots since they are at very little risk of suffering significant illness. Booster backers have long claimed kids should be fully vaccinated so that they won’t pass the virus on to more vulnerable adults, but a Pfizer executive acknowledged last week to European lawmakers that her company’s vaccine was never tested for preventing transmission.

Young men and adolescent boys face an elevated risk of heart inflammation known as myocarditis after the second dose of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s shots. But the CDC says the same group faces an even higher risk of myocarditis from COVID itself. (Read more from “Moderna CEO Splits With CDC on COVID Booster Shots for Healthy Folks Under 50” HERE)

‘Pandemic of the Unvaccinated’ Turned Out to Be Just Another Democratic Lie

For months, the Left in the United States told us to get the vaccine to prevent transmission of COVID. The vaccine was touted as efficient, effective, and a key to saving lives because it stopped the virus from spreading. But last week, while giving testimony to the European Parliament, Pfizer executive Janine Small admitted that Pfizer did not test to determine whether the vaccine would prevent the spread of COVID. This admission debunked essentially everything the Left told people about vaccination and showed the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” narrative was nothing but another Democratic lie.

“So, there are no misunderstandings: Was the Pfizer COVID vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market?” Rob Roos, a European member of Parliament from the Netherlands, asked. “If not, please say it clearly. If yes, are you willing to share the data with this committee? And I really want a straight answer, yes or no, and I’m looking forward to it.”

“No,” Small said. “We really had to move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market.” (Read more from “‘Pandemic of the Unvaccinated’ Turned Out to Be Just Another Democratic Lie” HERE)

Nancy Pelosi Melts Down Over Latest Polling

During an interview with MSNBC Tuesday afternoon, Speaker Nancy Pelosi shot back at host Andrea Mitchell after she was presented with polling from the New York Times showing Republicans are on track to take the House majority in November.

“The New York Times poll I think is an outlier poll, you cite one poll, but all the other polls…” Pelosi said.

“It’s also the RealClearPolitics average,” Mitchell pushed back.

Pelosi’s response comes shortly after she claimed that not only are Democrats in good shape ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, but that she was confident her party will increase their majority.

Voters in Florida Arrested as Part of DeSantis Crackdown

A suspect arrested on charges of voter fraud in Florida was left confused and in the dark by police officers for why he was being detained, newly released footage showed.

When police detained Tony Patterson in August on charges of committing voter fraud back in 2020, both the officer and Patterson appeared confused by the arrest, a video posted by the Tampa Bay Times showed.

“What is wrong with this state, man?” Patterson said as he was being taken to the police car in handcuffs. “Voter fraud? Y’all said anybody with a felony could vote, man.”

When he asked the police why they were doing this now, as opposed to in 2020, a police officer responded, “I don’t know. I have no idea, man.”

The arrests were part of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s crackdown on voter fraud, which he touted at a press conference shortly after the arrest. Those arrested, 20 in all, were convicted of murder or felony sex offenses but voted in the 2020 election despite apparent violations of the process to restore their voting rights.

Voter fraud is considered a third-degree felony, and those convicted of it could face a fine of up to $5,000 and up to five years behind bars. However, in the video, the officer said agents had reduced his bond to $1,000 in total. (Read more from “Voters in Florida Arrested as Part of DeSantis Crackdown” HERE)

Ex-Agent Refuses Cooperation With GOP’s Probe Into Bureau’s Handing of Hunter’s Laptop

Former FBI agent Timothy Thibault refused last week to cooperate with House Republicans’ probe into the bureau’s handling of Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” investigation.

“Concerning the request for an interview, because the subject matter pertains to sensitive law enforcement information and/or pending investigations, our client is not in a position to accept this invitation at this juncture,” Thibault’s attorney responded to the House Judiciary Committee on October 7.

“Our client is now retired from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. … As such, he no longer possesses an FBI laptop or mobile device, and he no longer has access to the FBI’s records and materials,” the letter added.

Thibault left the bureau in August after being accused of bias in handling the laptop investigation.

“Thibault can refuse to cooperate now, but can’t hide from a Congressional subpoena in the future,” a person close to the Republican committee told the New York Post. House and Senate Republicans plan to aggressively investigate the Biden family if they retake the House and Senate in November.

Social Media Erupts Over Eric Swalwell’s Ad Depicting Woman Arrested for Abortion (VIDEO)

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) sent social media users into a frenzy with a stark new campaign ad depicting a woman getting arrested for obtaining an abortion.

In the ad, a mother’s dinner with her children is interrupted by police officers who inform her that she is under arrest before pulling their guns and restraining her while her baby is heard crying in the distance. Using the MAGA battle cry, “#LockHerUp,” Swalwell said the video shows the reality of what Trump-aligned Republicans want women to face.

“MAGA Republicans want women arrested for having an abortion. This is what that looks like. #LockHerUp,” Swalwell tweeted alongside the video.

Conservatives and others quickly castigated the ad on Twitter. Some contended that anti-abortion groups do not want to arrest women for abortion but merely want to ban the procedure.

“Eric, you greasy spy f*er, Women aren’t being arrested for abortions. There is no law that does that in any state. But ads like this are absolutely going to get low information women k*lled,” Libertarian pundit Josie Glabach tweeted, referencing his alleged encounter with a Chinese spy.

More Left-Wing Racism: Herschel Walker Attacked at Event; Called ‘House N****r’

A left-wing protester allegedly attacked Herschel Walker at a campaign event by calling the Georgia Republican nominee for U.S. Senate a “house n****r, Fox News reported.

Walker faced the racial epithets at a campaign event held outside of Columbia Towers, an apartment building primarily owned by the church Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) leads.

Fox News reported that multiple witnesses at the event, including Walker campaign staffers and media members, heard the protesters shout the slur.

“This is all a stunt. He’s nothing but a house n****r,” the protester, who identified himself as Maceo Fletcher, allegedly shouted at Walker.

A Walker campaign staffer told Fox News he heard the protester say, “He’s a joke. He tap dances, and he’s a house n****r.” (Read more from “More Left-Wing Racism: Herschel Walker Attacked at Event; Called ‘House N****r’” HERE)
