Trans-Identifying Firefighter Suing City Over Facial Feminization Surgery Coverage

/1 Comment/in , /by

He filed his lawsuit anonymously as Jane Doe in federal court on January 31.

The veteran firefighter, who holds the supervisory position of fire battalion chief, claims the facial feminization surgery he wants is “medically necessary and not cosmetic” because of his gender dysphoria “disability.”

The lawsuit argues that denying him coverage of the procedure, which includes a laundry list of procedures including a rhinoplasty, a forehead reduction, and a hair transplant, is causing the firefighter harm and amounts to “illegal sex stereotyping.”

“Ms. Doe was forced to maintain natal sex characteristics with which she no longer identified by virtue of the Defendants’ callous and discriminatory acts committed against her,” the complaint states, adding that, “Ms. Doe has spent years of her life presenting herself in a manner that is not her authentic self.”

The suit also claims the firefighter, who began identifying as transgender at some point during his firefighting career, now “cannot function in society or work” without the facial feminization procedures and is “constantly misgendered.” . . .

The lawsuit says the defendants decided the firefighter was simply trying to “improve her appearance,” a conclusion that added “insult to injury” and relied on “stereotyped notions of what a traditional female face looks like.” (Read more from “Trans-Identifying Firefighter Suing City Over Facial Feminization Surgery Coverage” HERE)

Throwdown: Speaker Johnson Brushes off Mitch McConnell Ukraine Funding Push

/2 Comments/in , /by

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stuck a dagger in the Senate’s hard-won $95 billion foreign aid package Tuesday afternoon, almost assuredly killing the bill’s chances of becoming law.

In a Capitol Hill hallway, Johnson said the House will focus on the upcoming appropriations deadlines, ignoring the bill the Senate passed before sunrise Tuesday after an all-night session.

“I certainly don’t right now,” Johnson told Punchbowl News when asked if he sees a scenario in which he would put the bill on the floor for a vote. “We’re dealing with the appropriations process. We have immediate deadlines upon us in that. That’s where the attention of the House is in this moment.”

Johnson indicated Monday night before the vote that the Senate was wasting its time working to pass a foreign aid package without first taking meaningful steps to secure the border, stating “America deserves better than the Senate’s status quo.”

McConnell took a victory lap after Tuesday morning’s vote, issuing a statement saying in part, “History settles every account. And today, on the value of American leadership and strength, history will record that the Senate did not blink.” (Read more from “Throwdown: Speaker Johnson Brushes off Mitch McConnell Ukraine Funding Push” HERE)

Lakewood Church Shooter Identified as Genesse Ivonne Moreno; ‘Palestine’ Written on Gun

By Fox News. Police in Houston, Texas, have identified the shooter who opened fire at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church on Sunday as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, Fox News has confirmed.

Moreno, originally from El Salvador, who had a lengthy criminal record, also previously used the name Jeffrey Escalante Moreno, investigators said. The shooter was killed after off-duty police officers at the church responded to the incident. Police said two people were injured – a 57-year-old man and the child who accompanied the shooter. . .

The preliminary reporting also indicated that the message “Free Palestine” was written on the rifle; investigators said later it was just “Palestine.”

Moreno, 36, had a criminal history including convictions for assaulting a police officer in 2009 and forgery in 2010.

Members of the FBI, the Texas Rangers, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Conroe and Houston Police Departments were investigating a property Monday in Conroe, north of Houston, that was believed to be Moreno’s residence, KPRC reported.

Child Critically Wounded In Church Shooting Is Son Of Shooter, ‘Anti-Semitic Writing’ Recovered: Police

By Daily Wire. The Houston Police Department confirmed Monday that the woman who opened fire at Lakewood Church in Houston had a documented “mental health history” and her son was the child injured in the shooting. Authorities also obtained “anti-Semitic writing” during their investigation into the shooting.

On Sunday afternoon, 36-year-old Genesse Ivonne Moreno* walked into Lakewood Church in Houston with a long gun and a young child and opened fire before being shot dead by law enforcement at the scene. During a press conference Monday afternoon, Houston PD Commander Chris Hassig said that Moreno “was put under an emergency detention order” in 2016 and “has a mental health history that is documented through us and through interviews with family members.”

The commander added that authorities recovered “anti-Semitic writing” and they believe there was “a familial dispute that has taken place between her ex-husband and her ex-husband’s family.”

Houston PD Chief Troy Finner said Moreno was the biological mother of a 7-year-old child who was shot during an exchange of gunfire between Moreno and two off-duty law enforcement officers. Finner added that the child is “fighting for his life” in critical condition, and a 57-year-old man who was also shot has since been released from the hospital. . .

The shooting at Lakewood Church comes amid growing concern about recent mass shootings carried out by trans-identifying and “non-binary” shooters. (Read more from “Child Critically Wounded in Church Shooting Is Son of Shooter, ‘Anti-Semitic Writing’ Recovered: Police” HERE)

Female Rapper Sparks Controversy at Super Bowl With Satanic Jewelry and Symbols

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Rapper Ice Spice found herself at the center of a social media storm after attending Sunday’s Super Bowl alongside her friend Taylor Swift. While supporting Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, the 24-year-old artist’s outfit and disturbing actions during the game drew attention and criticism from fans.

Ice Spice’s ensemble for the Las Vegas event featured an all-black outfit, with a top from the brand Balenciaga. The brand ignited controversy in 2022 for sick campaigns featuring children holding bondage-wrapped teddy bears. However, it was her choice of accessories that stirred controversy, particularly the upside-down cross necklace she wore, which caught the eye of viewers.

@matcrackz WHY IS ICE SPICE SATANIC NOW ? 😭 #reaction #superbowl #icespice #taylorswift ♬ Spooky, quiet, scary atmosphere piano songs – Skittlegirl Sound

During the game, fans observed Ice Spice making horn symbols with her hands in a satanic gesture. Social media, notably X (formerly Twitter), became a platform for fans to express their disapproval of Ice Spice’s outfit and actions.

Critics voiced their concerns, with one commentator stating, “Nothing to see here, just Taylor Swift’s guest Ice Spice throwing up demonic signs while wearing an upside-down cross making sure the world sees it on the big screen.”

Others questioned the symbolism, with a social media user pointing out the Balenciaga logo on her shirt and another expressing discomfort with the overall display.

Trump’s Supreme Court Petition Seeks Stay on Immunity Ruling in January 6 Case

/2 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has taken a significant step in the ongoing legal battle surrounding the events of January 6. In a 112-page filing, Trump’s attorneys submitted an application to the U.S. Supreme Court, aiming to stay a lower court ruling that challenges the notion of presidential immunity for alleged crimes committed while in office.

The filing emphasizes Special Counsel Jack Smith’s previous attempt to expedite the Supreme Court’s intervention in the matter after the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia rejected Trump’s immunity claim. Despite Smith’s efforts, the Supreme Court declined to take immediate action, leading to the case being taken to the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Trump’s legal team argues that the Circuit’s rapid decision against the immunity claim represents a “stunning breach of precedent and historical norms.”

The core argument revolves around the idea that presidents, in the performance of their official duties, should not be subjected to prosecution. The legal team contends that such prosecutions would create an environment of political targeting, hindering the president’s ability to make critical decisions without fear of legal repercussions.

The application, titled United States v. Trump, seeks a stay on the ruling and calls for a thorough consideration of President Trump’s claim of immunity through the regular course of justice.

White House: No Cognitive Test for Biden During Physical Exam (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

As skepticism grows regarding President Joe Biden’s mental fitness for a second term, the White House has suggested that he will not undergo a cognitive test during his upcoming yearly physical exam. This decision follows the recent conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material, where it was determined that although Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,” no criminal charges were warranted.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed on Monday that President Biden is scheduled for his annual physical exam, though the exact timeline remains uncertain. When questioned about the inclusion of a “cognitive test” in the examination, Jean-Pierre cited Dr. Kevin O’Connor’s perspective, stating that Biden demonstrates his cognitive abilities daily through interactions with world leaders and the decision-making process on behalf of the American people.

Jean-Pierre emphasized that the president’s actions and decisions showcase his cognitive abilities, and Dr. O’Connor perceives the president’s operational and thinking capabilities through these activities.

Public polling reflects widespread concern over Biden’s fitness for office, with 86% of Americans expressing the belief that he is too old to serve another term. Additionally, 76% of respondents have raised concerns about the president’s mental fitness. Despite this, Biden has not undergone a cognitive test since taking office.

J.D. Vance Finds ‘Impeachment Time Bomb’ Aimed at Trump in Ukraine Aid Bill

/2 Comments/in , /by

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) raised the alarm on Monday that the $95 billion Senate bill to fund the Ukraine War contains an “impeachment time bomb” aimed at former President Donald Trump if he wins reelection in November, and called on his Republican colleagues to vote against it.

“Buried in the bill’s text is an impeachment time bomb for the next Trump presidency if he tries to stop funding the war in Ukraine. We must vote against this disastrous bill,” Vance posted on X. . .

Earlier Monday, Vance sent a memo to his Republican colleagues highlighting that the bill would fund Ukraine through September 30, 2025, which would be nearly a year into the possible second presidential term for Trump if he is reelected.

Vance wrote in his memo:

The bill includes $1.6 billion for foreign military financing in Ukraine, and $13.7 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. These funds expire on September 30, 2025—nearly a year into the possible second term of President Trump.

Nikki Haley: ‘I Am Going to Beat President Trump’ (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Monday on CNN’s “The Lead” that she will beat former President Donald Trump for the party nomination.

Anchor Jake Tapper said, “So obviously you’re running in South Carolina and you’ve told me that you plan to be around well obviously you want to be the nominee and then the president, but, but you’re going to be around at least until super Tuesday. If the unthinkable happens in your view and you do not win will it be difficult to Support Trump as the Republican Party’s nominee, given what you think about him quite obviously.”

Haley said, “Well, first, I think that you need to know that I am going to beat President Trump. But you should ask him if it’ll be difficult for him to support me?” (Read more from “Nikki Haley: ‘I Am Going to Beat President Trump’” HERE)

Trump Explains NATO Stance After Negotiating Story Draws Controversy

/32 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, former President Donald Trump explained his stance on NATO after drawing controversy with a story about how he used hardball tactics to negotiate with other world leaders on supporting the alliance.

A statement posted to Truth Social talked about how Trump, who is seeking a second term in the White House, argued how member nations contribute more to NATO’s collective defense with a strong U.S. leader pushing them to meet the 2% minimum GDP defense investment guideline.

“When I told the 20 Countries that weren’t paying their fair share that they had to PAY UP, and said without doing that you will not have U.S. Military Protection, the money came rolling in,” Trump said after an opening line claiming that his critics acknowledge how “STRONG” he made NATO.

“After so many years of the United States picking up the tab, it was a beautiful sight to see. But now, without me there to say YOU MUST PAY, they are at it again. We are into helping Ukraine for more than 100 Billion Dollars more than NATO,” he continued, alluding to U.S. support for Ukraine in its war against Russia.

“We have nobody that they respect, and they insist on paying far less than we do. Wrong, NATO HAS TO EQUALIZE, AND NOW. THEY WILL DO THAT IF PROPERLY ASKED. IF NOT, AMERICA FIRST! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” Trump said.

Confused Biden Wanders Behind Podium, Stares at the Floor as Jordanian King Speaks (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A confused-looking President Biden paced back and forth behind King Abdullah II of Jordan Monday, apparently unsure of where to stand ahead of the royal’s remarks.

“Your majesty, over to you,” Biden, 81, told the king after welcoming him to the White House.

As Abdullah prepared to deliver his speech, the president shuffled around behind him and the podium, gazing down at the floor as if looking for a mark indicating the proper place for him to stand.

Biden waffled between two different spots before settling on what was initially his first choice, to Abdullah’s left side and in front of the Jordanian flag.

The president’s indecision appeared to throw off the king, who at one point looked over his left shoulder expecting to see Biden but he wasn’t there. (Read more from “Confused Biden Wanders Behind Podium, Stares at the Floor as Jordanian King Speaks” HERE)
