Two Major Hospitals Pull the Plug on ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Minors

/0 Comments/in , /by

On December 18, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced new and sweeping regulatory changes that would bring an end to “gender-affirming care” for minors. This includes a ban on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical procedures for those under 18 years of age.

The reforms mean that hospitals that continue to provide such “gender-affirming care” to children would be stripped of all federal funding as a condition of their participation in Medicare/Medicaid programs.

In his announcement, Kennedy said, “Doctors assume a solemn obligation to protect children. Yet doctors across the country now provide needless and irreversible sex-rejecting procedures that violate their sacred Hippocratic oath, endangering the very lives that they are sworn to safeguard.” . . .

According to 9News, both Children’s Hospital Colorado and Denver Health said they would no longer be writing or filling prescriptions for “gender-affirming care” for minors, including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. Neither facility performed “gender-affirming surgeries” on minors.

In a statement, Children’s Hospital Colorado said, “Following the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) announcement of an investigation against Children’s Hospital Colorado (Children’s Colorado), the hospital must suspend all medical gender-affirming care for patients under 18 years old. At the same time, we await federal court rulings and assess the rapidly evolving legal landscape. This referral threatens Children’s Colorado’s Medicare and Medicaid funding, risking care for hundreds of thousands of children.” (Read more from “Two Major Hospitals Pull the Plug on ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Minors” HERE)

Trump Admin’s Top Secret Military Operation Plans Reportedly Leaked To Legacy Media Outlets

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Despite an unidentified party leaking plans of the Trump administration’s top secret military operation targeting Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela to both The New York Times and the Washington Post, neither publication decided to expose it, Semafor reported Saturday night.

Two anonymous sources, described as familiar with the communication between the administration and media outlets, told Semafor that both outlets declined to break the news on the operation before it happened out of concern for U.S. troops involved. The military incursion, carried out early Saturday, resulted in the capture and ouster of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, whom a grand jury later indicted on four charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy.

The identity of the leaker or leakers was not made public as of Sunday morning.

President Donald Trump gave his final approval to go ahead with the operation at 10:46 p.m. on Friday night, fewer than eight hours before he announced on Truth Social that Maduro had been captured and flown out of Venezuela. A string of photos posted to the president’s primary social media account Saturday afternoon show him alongside senior members of his administration in a situation room at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

While a few U.S. soldiers were injured during the strikes, there were no American fatalities during the operation, according to Trump.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Disturbing viral video shows the moment a transgender gymgoer appears to be masturbating in a stall inside the women’s bathroom at a Planet Fitness in California.

Planet Fitness patron, Grace Hutson, claims she encountered the ordeal while she was using the female restroom at the gym’s Concord location, just outside San Francisco, last May — but the footage only exploded online over the weekend.

The clip, which she originally posted on TikTok, showed the shadow of an unidentified person appearing to perform the sex act on themselves.

“At the end of the day, whether you’re transgender or not, you should not be stroking your s–t in the women’s bathroom,” Huston said in a TikTok video posted late Sunday after the footage started going viral. . .

The young woman alerted the front desk staff at the time, but the employees didn’t know how to handle the situation, she said.

Her boyfriend eventually stepped in to confront the trans gymgoer. (Read more from “Trans Gymgoer Caught ‘Masturbating’ in Women’s Bathroom at California Planet Fitness” HERE)

One Hour Bombardment of Caracas, Venezuela Accuses US of Hitting Civilian Targets

/12 Comments/in , , /by

Caracas, Venezuela – January 3, 2026 – Multiple explosions and low-flying aircraft were reported in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas early Saturday morning, prompting the government of President Nicolás Maduro to accuse the United States of launching military attacks on the country.

At least seven explosions were heard around 2 a.m. local time, with witnesses describing loud noises and aircraft sweeping through the city. Smoke was seen rising from La Carlota airport, a military facility in Caracas. The Venezuelan government reported that similar attacks occurred in the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira, leading to power outages in southern areas of the capital.

In a statement released shortly after the incidents, the Venezuelan communications ministry declared that the country “rejects, repudiates and denounces” what it described as “military aggression” by the United States. It also accused the U.S. of “targeting civilian” locations. President Maduro responded by declaring a national state of emergency, mobilizing forces to defend against further incursions.

U.S. officials confirmed that President Donald Trump ordered strikes on sites inside Venezuela, including military facilities, as part of an escalation in pressure on the Maduro regime. The actions follow months of threats from the Trump administration, which has accused Venezuela of flooding the U.S. with drugs and has previously targeted drug-trafficking operations, including a recent strike on a Venezuelan dock.

Trump administration officials stated they were aware of the reports from Caracas but provided no immediate further details on the operation. The strikes mark a significant intensification of U.S. actions against Venezuela, moving from maritime interdictions to land-based targets.

Maduro has previously urged Trump to abandon what he called “illegal warmongering” and engage in serious talks, amid ongoing tensions over U.S. sanctions and accusations of regime support for narcotics trafficking. No casualties have been officially reported, and the full extent of damage remains unclear as the situation develops.

This event comes amid heightened U.S.-Venezuela relations under the Trump administration, which has employed tactics including bombings of drug boats to pressure Maduro’s government.

The strikes have drawn criticism for contradicting President Trump’s pre-election promises during his 2024 campaign to avoid engaging the U.S. in new wars. Trump repeatedly stated, “I’m not going to start a war, I’ll stop wars,” and emphasized that “No new wars” was a key pillar of his platform. He pledged to end endless wars and bring about world peace, saying he would prevent conflicts rather than initiate them. America First-aligned political leaders have voiced opposition to the escalation, with Senator Rand Paul criticizing earlier related actions as a “prelude to war” and a “provocation,” warning that such military missions off Venezuela’s coast could lead to an invasion.

Eight Epstein survivors call for Trump to be impeached over handling of file release

By Independent UK. Eight Jeffrey Epstein survivors are calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump, as well as demanding an investigation into Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI boss Kash Patel, over the government’s handling of the Epstein files release.

Since the Epstein files were released on 19 December, survivors of the convicted pedophile have been critical of the heavy redactions of the documents.

One of the survivors, Haley Robson, has spoken out publicly in an exclusive interview to reporter Sabah Choudhry from Channel 5 News in the UK.

She called Trump’s actions “illegal” after some files were still withheld despite the December 19th deadline, demanding the full release of the documents.

Robson said: “It’s important we push for impeachment of President Trump after 20-plus years of trying to find a resolution with our abuser and enablers.” (Read more from “Eight Epstein survivors call for Trump to be impeached over handling of file release” HERE)

‘This Isn’t Over’: MAGA Congresswoman Sends Blistering Message to Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is firing back after President Donald Trump issued his first vetoes of his second term, including against a measure she sponsored.

Trump rejected a bipartisan bill on Tuesday that cleared the House and Senate to finish Colorado’s Arkansas Valley Conduit, a decades-long project aimed at delivering water to dozens of communities in the southeastern portion of the state. The bill would specifically lower payments that residents within the Arkansas River Valley are required to make for construction of the water pipeline.

“Enough is enough,” Trump wrote in his message to Congress. “My Administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies. Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the Nation.”

Boebert criticized his decision in a lengthy statement shared on X.

“Nothing says ‘America First’ like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado, many of whom enthusiastically voted for him in all three elections,” Boebert wrote. “I must have missed the rally where he stood in Colorado and promised to personally derail critical water infrastructure projects. My bad, I thought the campaign was about lowering costs and cutting red tape.”

A Supernatural Encounter With Jesus Saved His Life — Now He’s Reaching a Generation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bryce Crawford is an evangelist whose supernatural encounter with Jesus not only stopped him from taking his own life, but has catapulted him into a position where he’s helping transform a generation.

“I became a Christian when I was 17. I had depression and anxiety for years. Grew up in a Christian environment, went to a Christian school, but I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus when I was 17. Stopped me from taking my life,” Crawford tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey at AmFest. . .

“I went to Waffle House, and I was at this table. No one preached to me. No one shared the gospel with me. The total opposite happened actually. This grown man dumped his life issues on me, and he said, ‘I’m losing my wife. She’s divorcing me and taking my kids,’” he explains.

“And then he said, ‘There’s no growth in a relationship if the love isn’t mutual.’ And when he said that, time stopped. And I had learned about Jesus all my life. … And for the first time, I thought to myself, maybe I don’t know God loves me because I haven’t given myself a chance to love him back,” he says.

“And so I prayed a crazy prayer. I said, ‘Jesus, if you’re real, take away my anxiety and depression because this is the reason why I want to take my life,’ and I haven’t had that crippling anxiety or depression since that day. It’s been almost five years,” he continues. (Read more from “A Supernatural Encounter With Jesus Saved His Life — Now He’s Reaching a Generation” HERE)

Samurai Sword-Wielding Man Removes Squatters For Desperate Homeowners

/0 Comments/in , /by

Samurai sword-wielding CEO James Jacobs is offering his armed services to remove squatters for tenants dealing with occupants who refuse to leave in the Northern California area.

Squatting is an ongoing issue in California, with lawmakers such as Republican state Assemblyman Carl DeMaio attempting to introduce legislation that would allow property owners to immediately remove squatters. The proposal was ultimately rejected by the Democratic majority.

Jacobs, the CEO of ASAP Squatter Removal, has been in the business for several years, with his website claiming a “95%+ success rate,” according to KRON4.

“At ASAP Squatter Removal, we remove unwanted occupants quickly and legally while ensuring you are never liable for our actions. As independent contractors, we make all decisions ourselves—you don’t give us orders, and we don’t act on your behalf,” the site states.

Jacobs, according to the ASAP Squatter Removal website, brings “real-world combat training and experience to the table,” citing more than 20 years of mixed martial arts experience, advanced melee weapons training and four years of NRA and USCCA certification.
