2028 Dem Contender Says He Would Allow Underage Son to ‘Transition’ to Opposite Sex

Maryland Democrat Gov. Wes Moore said he would not stop his 14-year-old son from identifying as the opposite sex if that is “a journey that he wants to go down,” although he later said he would not support the use of puberty blockers.

Moore, who is running for reelection this year and has also been pitched as a 2028 Democrat presidential candidate, made the remark during an interview on The Patrick Bet-David podcast that was released on Tuesday. The conversation lasted two hours and covered a variety of topics besides transgenderism, including the California homelessness crisis, the Iran war, and gerrymandering.

When Moore was specifically asked if he would allow his young son to identify as transgender, he said, “You know, it’s my son, so I love him regardless.”

“And he’s always going to have my undying love. That’s me, right? I want to make sure that I’m involved in understanding where he is, how he’s feeling, the way he’s feeling, why he thinks it’s important. If this is a journey that he wants to go down, I want him to always be comfortable in his own skin, and I want him to always know that he has a partner in me to help him along that journey,” he continued.

When asked if he would tell his son to wait until he is 18 years old to identify as a woman, he replied: “If this is how he is feeling, and I feel like I’m closely tied to him, I’m not going to advise him on something that he feels is right.” (Read more from “2028 Dem Contender Says He Would Allow Underage Son to ‘Transition’ to Opposite Sex” HERE)

‘Population Autopsy’ finds Americans are Dying Younger than other Wealthy Countries — the Deadliest 2 Culprits Revealed

. . .For decades, life expectancy in the States has lagged behind wealthy nations like Japan, Switzerland and Australia, with Americans consistently dying younger than their peers abroad.

Now, a landmark “population autopsy” analyzing more than 63 million deaths has identified two key factors fueling shorter lifespans nationwide, as experts warn the trend is only getting worse.

In the study, researchers compared the US to 17 peer nations and found that between 1999 and 2022, nearly 12.7 million American deaths could have been avoided if death rates matched those countries.

And the problem isn’t easing up. Annual “excess deaths” in the US more than tripled over the 23-year period, rising from about 346,000 in 1999 to 905,159 in 2022.

The top two factors: rising rates of cardiovascular and metabolic disease, along with a growing number of “deaths of despair,” or those linked to drugs, alcohol and suicide.

DOJ Moves To Denaturalize Alleged Terrorists And War Criminals

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is moving to denaturalize 12 individuals for offenses and allegations including providing material support to terrorism, war crimes and sexual abuse of a minor, the Daily Caller has learned.

The DOJ is expected to announce on Friday that it is filing denaturalizing actions against 12 individuals, originally from Iraq, Colombia, Morocco, Somalia, Gambia, Bolivia, Uzbekistan, Kenya, India, China and Nigeria.

Ali Yousif Ahmed, a native of Iraq, is one of the individuals the DOJ says they are taking action against. Ahmed came to the U.S. in 2009, claiming his family was attacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq. Ten years later, Iraq asked the U.S. to extradite Ahmed to Iraq, claiming he was facing criminal charges for the premeditated murder of two Iraqi police officers in 2006.

“Upon further investigation, United States learned that, in 2015, Ahmed illegally procured his naturalization, which warrants his denaturalization, because he lied under oath about his criminal and family history when he sought admission to the United States and naturalized as a U.S. citizen,” a document on the denaturalization process and shared with the Caller read.

Khalid Ouazzani, a native of Morocco, applied for U.S. citizenship in 2005 and then again a year later, according to the DOJ. Ouazzani was allegedly “planning—with two men later convicted of trying to bomb the New York Stock exchange—ways to support AlQaida” in 2003. Then after being naturalized, Ouazzani pleaded guilty to sending al-Qaida tens of thousands of dollars with money he had fraudulently obtained Ouazzani also took a pledge of pledge of allegiance in 2008 to al-Qaida.

Trump: Iranian Attackers ‘Destroyed’ After Firing on U.S. Destroyers — Ports Struck; Ceasefire Holding

President Donald Trump said Thursday that Iranian attacking forces were “completely destroyed” after Tehran fired missiles, drones, and fast attack boats at three U.S. Navy destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, prompting U.S. Central Command to carry out retaliatory “self-defense strikes” on Iranian military targets and port areas as the fragile ceasefire between Washington and Tehran again came under strain.

U.S. Central Command said its forces intercepted what it described as “unprovoked Iranian attacks” as the USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Peralta, and USS Mason transited the Strait of Hormuz toward the Gulf of Oman.

“Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats” at the destroyers, CENTCOM said, adding that no U.S. assets were struck.

CENTCOM said U.S. forces then “eliminated inbound threats” before striking Iranian military sites it said were responsible for the attack, including missile and drone launch positions, command-and-control facilities, and intelligence and surveillance nodes.

“CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces,” the statement added.

Disclosure: War Department Releases First Tranche of Formerly Classified UFO Files

The War Department released Friday its first batch of “never-before-seen” files and videos on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP), some of them dating back nearly 80 years.

The disclosure comes two days after President Donald Trump, who ordered the release, predicted, “I think some of it’s going to be very interesting to people,” news outlets reported.

The Department of War posted news of the release on X, directing citizens to see the files for themselves at the website war.gov/ufo. It is the first of what is expected to be repeated file dumps in coming weeks.

“This release follows the direction of President Donald J. Trump to begin the process of identifying and declassifying government files related to UAP in the interest of total transparency,” the department said in a statement. “No other President or administration in history has followed through on this level of UAP transparency.”

The White House said in a statement to Fox News:

The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place — no clearance required. While past administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American people, President Trump is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Barely Legible Alleged Suicide Note Revealed: ‘Time to say goodbye’

By New York Post. Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged suicide note was finally revealed — and the convicted pedophile appears to claim investigators “found nothing” on him.

“They investigated for month — found nothing!!!” read the barely legible note, released by a New York court order Wednesday in response to a New York Times petition.

“So 16 year old charge results!” the note appeared to read. “It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye.”

Tartaglione’s lawyer claimed the note was later verified as being written by Epstein, according to the Times.

Epstein succeeded in killing himself in August 2019, the month after the note was supposedly written for the initial attempt. (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein’s Barely Legible Alleged Suicide Note Revealed: ‘Time to say goodbye’” HERE)

How an apparent Jeffrey Epstein suicide note ended up in the hands of his quadruple-murderer roommate

By Business Insider. It was a crucial document that wasn’t included in the Epstein files: a suicide note apparently written by Jeffrey Epstein himself.

The purported note, which was made public on Wednesday by a federal judge in New York, was written in handwriting that appears to match other writing from the notorious pedophile. . .

The note did not come from the Justice Department. Nor did it emerge from a congressional investigation into Epstein, nor from one of the many lawsuits surrounding Epstein’s estate.

Instead, it came in a court proceeding related to Epstein’s onetime jail roommate, a former police officer who was convicted of a quadruple murder in 2023.

The cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, said he found the note after Epstein’s first apparent suicide attempt in Manhattan jail, on July 23, 2019. (Read more from “How an apparent Jeffrey Epstein suicide note ended up in the hands of his quadruple-murderer roommate” HERE)

Katie Porter Accidentally Admits The Real Reason Democrats Want Sanctuary Cities

Democratic California Gov. candidate Katie Porter inadvertently revealed the real reason leftist politicians are pushing for sanctuary cities.

Porter let the mask slip during Tuesday night’s gubernatorial debate and admitted that illegal immigration is one of “the only ways [California] has been growing in recent years,” seemingly embracing the replacement of American residents with foreigners. Notably, the deep blue state has welcomed illegals to the tune of millions while an estimated 10 million California residents have fled the state in the last decade.

“It’s the job of the California governor to protect every single Californian,” Porter said. “The sanctuary state policy is designed to make sure that our state resources, the taxpayer dollars, the public servants that we have, are focusing on doing their jobs, which is not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities.”

“These are Californians,” Porter said of illegal immigrants. “They contribute to our economy, they pay taxes, and they’re one of the only ways our state has been growing in recent years.”

Nancy Mace Names 6 House Lawmakers Allegedly Involved In Sex Scandal Cover Up

Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace named several lawmakers Monday who she claims used a congressional “slush fund” to cover up alleged sex scandals.

Mace said she uncovered 1,000 pages of documents detailing how certain lawmakers allegedly evaded consequences for sexual scandals, according to a Monday post on X. Mace originally subpoenaed the House Oversight Committee in March in light of a string of sexual scandals that resulted in two resignations from Congress.

Notably, Mace said that these documents are only from the last 22 years, claiming that all reports prior to 2004 were “destroyed.” Mace later named six lawmakers she alleges covered up their sex scandals with the “slush fund.”

“Accountability is not a threat,” Mace said. “It is a promise.”

Mace followed up her original tweet with one listing the alleged cases and their settlements. Mace’s post names six lawmakers including former Republican Louisiana Rep. Rodney Alexander, former Republican Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold, former Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Patrick Meehan, former Democratic New York Rep. Eric Massa, former Democratic Michigan Rep. John Conyers, and the office of former Democratic New York Rep. Carolyn McCarthy.
