Multiple School Districts Scrap ‘Nonsense’ Transgender Policies

/3 Comments/in , /by

Two New Jersey school districts voted to get rid of their state-recommended transgender school policies last week.

The board for the Franklin Lakes School District about 20 miles east of New York City voted 5-4 on Thursday to scrap its adoption of a transgender school policy recommended by the state.

Just a few miles away and on the same day, the Westwood Regional School Board voted 5-2 to toss the state’s transgender guidance as well.

The state’s version of the transgender policy states that school staff should keep a student’s new gender identity hidden from their parents unless the student gives permission or if there is a risk to the student’s health and safety. The policy also says trans-identifying students must be allowed to use the bathrooms and play on the sports teams that correspond with their gender identity.

New Low: Only 6 Percent of Americans Approve of GOP Leader Mitch McConnell

/3 Comments/in , /by

Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky remains the least popular politician in the country, according to a new poll out Monday.

A Monmouth survey of more than 800 adults 18 and older indicates that 60 percent of respondents disapprove of the GOP Senate chief’s job performance. Only 6 percent of respondents said they approve of it. McConnell earned the lowest overall approval rating among congressional leadership and “is the only leader to receive a net negative score from his fellow partisans.” Just 10 percent of Republicans said they approve of his performance, and 41 percent said they felt otherwise.

The Monmouth University survey also found President Joe Biden’s approval rating at an “all-time low” with “particularly poor marks for his handling of immigration and inflation.”

“Only 3 in 10 Americans say the incumbent is giving enough attention to the issues most important to them, which is worse than for his predecessor,” Monmouth reported. (Read more from “New Low: Only 6 Percent of Americans Approve of GOP Leader Mitch McConnell” HERE)

Data: 26 States That Banned Therapy for LGBT People Upped Suicide Risks

/2 Comments/in , /by

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to 26 state laws at least partly based on studies claiming “conversion therapy” increases LGBT Americans’ suicide risks. Yet every existing study that makes this claim is seriously scientifically unsound, several research reviews recently found.

Not only do all these studies depend on unscientific methods, but the data from one highly cited such study actually shows the opposite of what its authors claim, says a sociologist who reran the study’s data with standard scientific controls the authors omitted.

“The evidence shows that SOCE [sexual orientation change efforts] is fairly effective at preventing suicide attempts,” said Paul Sullins, a research professor at Catholic University and senior researcher for the Ruth Institute, in a press conference released Friday.

These majorly flawed studies have boosted efforts to ban therapists from helping distressed people across the United States and the world. According to Sullins, some 20 states and the District of Columbia ban therapists from helping people struggling to resolve homosexual desires or gender dysphoria. Six states partially ban such therapy. That means in those states, therapists may only nudge children toward, rather than help prevent, transgender mutilation.

Last week, Republican-appointed Justices John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch joined the court’s leftists in refusing to resolve a circuit-court split over whether states can punish therapists who talk to willing clients about unwanted sexual attractions and gender dysphoria. Barrett also voted to let stand a lower-court decision striking laws against children attending transvestite shows.

IDF Discovers Largest Ever Hamas Terror Tunnel Inside Gaza (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , /by

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Sunday that they have discovered the largest ever Hamas tunnel inside Gaza that was only a few hundred yards away from the Erez Humanitarian Crossing.

The Erez Humanitarian Crossing, which was operated by COGAT’s Coordination and Liaison Administration (CLA) up until October 6, allowed thousands of Palestinians to cross into Israel for work and to receive medical treatment.

“This massive tunnel system, splits into branches of tunnels, spans well over four kilometers (2.5 miles) and reaches only 400 meters (1,310 feet) from the Erez crossing,” the IDF said in a statement. “This subterranean tunnel system was a project led by Muhammad Sinwar, the brother of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.”

The IDF said that the tunnel was built “from reinforced concrete and [is] equipped with electricity, ventilation, sewage, communication networks and rails.”

A lot of the footage that the IDF released of the tunnel was video that was recorded by Hamas terrorists while they constructed the tunnel and was later recovered by Israel.

Accused Child Rapist Could Face Death Penalty Under New Law Signed by DeSantis to Punish Pedophiles

/2 Comments/in , /by

A Florida man faces the possibility of being sentenced to death under a new law that recently went into effect to punish dangerous pedophiles.

Joseph Andrew Giampa, 36, was indicted on Thursday for six counts of sexual battery upon a person under 12 years old and three counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child, according to the Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office.

State Attorney William Gladson of the Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office declared that his office would pursue the death penalty due to the “severity of the crime and its impact on the community.” Gladson believes Giampa qualifies for the death penalty because of how heinous and cruel his crimes were.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis voiced his support in seeking the death penalty against the child rapist.

“Today, @flsao5 announced that they will seek the death penalty in a case of sexual battery against a child under age 12,” DeSantis wrote in a post on X. “It will be the first case to challenge SCOTUS since I signed legislation to make pedophiles eligible for the death penalty. @flsao5 has my full support.”

Gen Z U.S. Soldiers Engaged in ‘TikTok Mutiny,’ Discouraging Army Recruits (VIDEO)

/4 Comments/in , /by

Young members of the U.S. Army are throwing a TikTok “mutiny” to complain about “sh*tty food,” being pushed to stay in shape, their freedoms being “suppressed,” and more.

One of the videos by “military influencer” Anthony Laster described his life as having “No Privacy, The Pay Sucks, Sh*tty Food, Disrespectful Leadership, NO SLEEP!” . . .

@midwest_ant 😑 #military #usa #army #marines #airforce #navy #rnb #dontdoit #deployment #fypシ #uniform #sad #world #lost #soldier #free #life #enlist ♬ Ya already know – YourDad👔

Laster has more than a million followers on TikTok and made the disparaging comments about the military not only while in uniform, but while on mission. In another post viewed by the Daily Mail, the Chicago native claimed that he spent the whole day watching TikTok videos while supposedly fighting the Taliban.

Generation Z appears to be full of complaints about the military, as an increasing number take part in what the publication described as a “TikTok mutiny.”

Another young soldier influencer named Shemar Williams told his 34,000 followers his “top five reasons not to join the military” while in uniform and while appearing to be on base.

One of the Largest Solar Flares Ever Recorded Knocks Out Radio, Could Be Headed for Earth

/3 Comments/in , /by

Scientists have warned that the largest solar flare in six years could be headed for Earth in a matter of days. This comes after the flare blanked radio frequencies, including a major radio blackout in South America.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently reported that the solar flare “is likely one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded.” The flare is caused by explosions on the surface of the sun, which then expand outward and spew bursts of electromagnetic radiation.

The New York Post reported that the solar flare occurred on Thursday after a sunspot known as AR 3514 erupted with a class X.28 solar flare — the largest variety of flare that our sun is capable of producing. The report went on to say that the flare was the largest the star has generated since 2017.

The flare had far-reaching consequences, including a massive radio blackout in South America. There was also a total loss of radio signals for several hours, but they were eventually recovered.

The Dem Staffer Who Got Busted for Gay Sex in Senate Hearing Room Had a History of Vulgar Posts

/3 Comments/in , /by

The weekend was filled with palace intrigue when a staffer for Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) got busted for having gay sex in a Senate hearing room. The graphic video leaked, leading to some hilarious reactions on social media and a public relations nightmare for the Cardin office. The staffer was fired in less than 24 hours after this circus was made public.

The aide identified in the video, Aidan Maese-Czeropski tried to play the victim, but thus far, it hasn’t resonated. What was this guy thinking? Also, while some might not like the hyper-proliferation of social media over the past decade, it has exposed us to the debauchery up on the Hill from everyone. We all know the rumors; they date back to the days of using typewriters, at least. These antics aren’t new, but now it’s more in our faces. Is this a one-off situation? No, reportedly, Maese-Czeropski was told to tone down his social media posts because they were all-around inappropriate:

Car Crashes Into Biden’s Motorcade

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden was left unscathed on Sunday night after a vehicle smashed into his motorcade near his campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.

A car hit a U.S. Secret Service SUV used to block off intersections as Biden made his way from his campaign office to his awaiting vehicle.

The sedan then tried to continue into the closed-off intersection before the Secret Service surrounded the car with weapons, instructing the driver to put his hands up.

The president and First Lady Jill Biden were left unharmed from the incident.

Biden seemed shocked by the loud bang from the collision and paused before being rushed into his vehicle. The First Lady wished reporters a “Happy Holidays” just moments before the accident occurred. (Read more from “Car Crashes Into Biden’s Motorcade” HERE)

Senator: Biden’s Border Crisis Has Me ‘More Worried About a 9/11’ Attack Than Ever Before

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said during an interview over the weekend that the conditions on the U.S. southern border have him more worried about the potential for terrorist attacks similar to 9/11 happening on U.S. soil than at any other point since the attacks happened more than two decades ago.

Graham made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Kristen Welker on NBC’s “Meet The Press” while discussing U.S. Senate negotiations with the White House on a border package.

Graham said that he did not believe a deal would be reached by the end of the year and that he expects talks to continue into the new year.

“The White House got engaged five days ago,” he said. “They sent over a supplemental with border security provisions that did nothing to change policy. We’ve been talking to them since September. Five days ago, they finally sat at the table. … The bottom line here is, we feel like we’re being jammed. We’re not anywhere close to a deal. It’ll go into next year.”
