20 Attorneys General to Investigate Pediatrician Group for False Claims About Transing Children

/3 Comments/in , /by

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) relied on leftist politics that contradict medical research to create its highly influential clinical recommendations for giving gender-confused children opposite-sex hormones and surgeries, say 20 state attorneys general in a letter released this morning. In so doing, the AGs say, the AAP may have violated state consumer protection laws that require accuracy in selling products and services.

“[W]hen it comes to treating children diagnosed with gender dysphoria, the AAP has abandoned its commitment to sound medical judgment,” write the attorneys general plus the Senate president and House speaker of Arizona’s legislature to the current and incoming AAP presidents.

The AAP claims in a 2018 policy statement that using puberty-blocking drugs to treat children with gender dysphoria is “reversible.” That “is misleading and deceptive,” the legal officials state. “It is beyond medical debate that puberty blockers are not fully reversible but instead come with serious long-term consequences.” The letter says this AAP claim of transgender intervention reversibility “requires immediate retraction and correction.”

Reached for comment Tuesday morning, AAP spokeswoman Lisa Robinson said she hadn’t seen the letter yet. The letter cites an April 2024 comprehensive research review commissioned by the United Kingdom’s health service, known as the “Cass report.” It found the irreversible negative consequences of puberty-blocking drugs can include:

interfering with brain development
compromising healthy bone density
damages to metabolic health, or the body’s ability to use energy efficiently, leading to weight gain, weight loss, and other health problems
loss of normal experiences of puberty.

Weekends in Palo Alto, Private School, Trips to Jamaica: A Look at Kamala Harris’s ‘Middle Class’ Childhood

/1 Comment/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris has tried to portray her upbringing as “middle class” and even working class — touting a summer job at McDonald’s and claiming to be from Oakland, a blue-collar city with a large black population.

For example, during a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harris said, “I grew up a child of a mother who worked very hard. She raised me and my sister and she saved up. And by the time I was a teenager, she was able to buy a home.” . . .

However, a close look at her childhood shows that Harris and her younger sister grew up with many opportunities that many “middle class” children do not have, such as living abroad, private school education, and growing up in some of the wealthiest locales in the world.

According to a New York Times report, Harris began “downplaying her Berkeley roots years ago when she first prepared to run for statewide office in California.” It said:

Today, she often describes herself with the somewhat vague label ‘daughter of Oakland,’ a phrase that ties her to a working-class city with less stigma — and counters Donald J. Trump’s preferred branding, ‘San Francisco liberal.’

The suspect also goes by the name Vicky, according to the Daily Mail.

Freyermuth told the child “I need to talk to you” as he attempted to lure the 11-year-old boy off his property on South Webb Avenue and away from his dog, according to a police report, WOIO reported.

When the child refused, Freyermuth attempted to grab him. The child was able to escape and is now safe, according to police. (Read more from “Transvestite Wearing Blonde Wig, Makeup, Pearls Allegedly Attempted to Kidnap Child, 11, Outside His Home” HERE)

FBI Agent Admits Stealing Silver Bars During Raid on Jan. 6 Defendant

/0 Comments/in , /by

An FBI agent has pleaded guilty to stealing from targets during raids and arrests, including from a man who was part of the mob that invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Nicholas Anthony Williams, who worked out of the FBI’s Houston office but is no longer with the bureau, admitted Monday to four thefts while serving search warrants.

One of those was a July 13, 2023, raid on the home of Alexander Fan, a member of Asians for Trump who breached the Capitol as part of the protest against the Electoral College count that confirmed President Biden’s win. . .

He also stole $1,200 during a raid on another residence on Dec. 16, 2020; got $4,145 from a raid on March 15, 2022; and pocketed $1,574 from a raid on Jan. 12, 2023. The theft from Fan is the last one he admitted to and, according to court documents, appears to have led to the agent’s downfall.

He also admitted to using his FBI-issued credit card to buy three cell phones, which he pawned. He spent $899.97 in taxpayers’ money and collected just $105 from the pawn shop. (Read more from “FBI Agent Admits Stealing Silver Bars During Raid on Jan. 6 Defendant” HERE)

SHOCK ENDORSEMENT: You Think This Endorsement Is Going to Give Kamala’s Team Heartburn?

/20 Comments/in , , /by

After all the pandering and sanitized statements concerning the war in Gaza, the Democrats’ plan to keep Michigan from falling away might not be working. It’s not a slam dunk, but this mayor’s endorsement is rather damning for the Kamala Harris team, which has worked overtime to keep Muslim Americans from either staying home or, worse, backing Trump. The former was likely the biggest fear, as Arab American voters are incensed over Israel’s justified war of self-defense in the region against Hamas. Yet, in Hamtramck, Michigan, America’s only Muslim-majority city, its Democrat mayor decided to make his 2024 decision public: He’s voting for Trump (via Fox News):

The mayor of a Muslim-majority city in Michigan says he is endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, calling the former commander-in-chief, “the right choice for this critical time.”

Amer Ghalib, mayor of the Detroit-area suburb Hamtramck, announced his endorsement of Trump in a Facebook post Sunday. While admitting he and Trump didn’t “agree on everything,” he said he regarded the former commander-in-chief as “a man of principles.”

“Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time,” Ghalib wrote in Arabic on his Facebook page. “I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences. For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next president of the United States, Donald Trump.”

‘Finish the Job’: DOJ Publishes Bounty Offer From Latest Would-Be Trump Assassin; Bill Barr Blasts DOJ for Releasing Letter: ‘Dumbfounded’

/4 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. Prosecutors for the U.S. Department of Justice released a letter, allegedly penned by the man arrested for attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump as he golfed in West Palm Beach last week, which offers a $150,000 reward to anyone who could “complete the job” of murdering the Republican candidate.

“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you,” the letter addressed to the “World” reads. “I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”

The alleged author of the letter, Ryan Routh, attributed Democrat and corporate media rhetoric painting Trump as “unfit to be anything, much less a US president,” as motivation for his crime. He also blamed Trump’s decision to cut ties with Iran as the primary reason the “Middle East has unraveled.” . . .

According to court papers, Routh dropped off the letter in a package with an unnamed person “several months prior” to the golf course assassination attempt. It wasn’t until days after Routh’s arrest, however, that the “civilian witness” reportedly first opened the box containing “ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters” and alerted authorities.

The circumstances surrounding the letter’s appearance raise many questions. The content of the letter, however, makes clear that the would-be assassin’s ultimate goal in hiding in the bushes at Trump International Golf Course on September 15 was to permanently remove Trump from the planet by whatever means necessary.

Bill Barr Blasts DOJ for Releasing Letter of Alleged Would-Be Trump Assassin Ryan Wesley Routh: ‘Dumbfounded’

By New York Post. Former US Attorney General William Barr panned the Justice Department he once ran for publicly disclosing a chilling letter from the man who allegedly attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump earlier this month.

In a court filing Monday, prosecutors released the disturbing note they claim was authored by suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, as proof of his intention to kill the 45th president.

“I was dumbfounded that the DOJ made public this morning the contents of the letter that, Ryan Routh, left with an acquaintance prior to the attempted assassination of former President Trump,” Barr told Fox News.

Prosecutors claimed to have acquired that note — addressed “To the World” — from an unnamed source who found it in a box they said was delivered to them by Routh prior to the shooting last week.

“The letter calls on people to ‘finish the job’ of killing President Trump, attempts to rouse people in incendiary terms to do so, and offers $150,000 to anyone who succeeds. There was no apparent justification for releasing this information at this stage,” Barr went on.

Trump Fights Jack Smith Efforts to ‘Litter’ Jan. 6 Case With Evidence Dump

/1 Comment/in , /by

Donald Trump‘s attorneys said on Monday that they oppose Jack Smith’s request to submit a massive filing to the court that would contain evidence supporting the special counsel’s election interference charges against the former president.

Trump’s attorneys asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to deny the request after Smith asked the court over the weekend if he could file a 180-page document justifying Trump’s charges in the wake of the Supreme Court‘s presidential immunity ruling.

“Allowing the Special Counsel’s Office to litter the docket sheet with an unnecessary tome would be inconsistent with the fact that there are dispositive threshold legal questions identified in Trump v. United States that can and should be resolved first,” Trump’s attorneys wrote.

The Supreme Court found in July that presidents enjoy some immunity from criminal prosecution. The high court also ordered Chutkan to decide what conduct in Smith’s indictment was immunized and therefore unable to be used against Trump in light of the justices’ newly established definition of presidential immunity.

Prosecutors for Smith told Chutkan they wanted to submit the mammoth filing, which would be roughly four times the size of a typical court motion, to create a “robust record” of why their indictment should pass the Supreme Court’s immunity test.

Alan Dershowitz Says Feds May Not Be Able to Prosecute Would-Be Trump Assassin for Attempted Assassination

/1 Comment/in , /by

Alan Dershowitz expressed doubt on Monday that federal prosecutors could make a case for attempted murder against the man accused of trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump on Sept. 15.

Secret Service agents thwarted the apparent assassination attempt on Trump by firing shots at Ryan Wesley Routh, who was allegedly lurking near Trump International Golf Club, two months after Trump was shot in the right ear while giving a speech at a July campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Dershowitz said that despite Routh’s intent to kill Trump, it was not clear that all of the legal elements for attempted murder were present.

“Based on my experience, I don’t think they have a case for attempted assassination,” Dershowitz said. “Let me explain why, this is gonna sound so counterintuitive. The guy obviously wanted to kill the president and he took actions to kill the president. Now here… you’re getting a free Harvard criminal law class.”

“If he conspired with somebody else to do, it would be an open and shut case, because for conspiracy all you need is an agreement to kill the president or to try to kill the president, and he did certainly agree with himself, he certainly made up his mind,” Dershowitz continued. “We have the evidence, the letter, he wrote a letter… saying ‘I wanted to kill the president, I tried to kill the president, I failed, I’m giving $150,000 to anybody else who succeeds.’ So, if it were conspiracy, it would be a clear case, conspiracy to assassinate the president, open and shut. Why isn’t it an open and shut case for attempt?” . . .

“He never had the president in his line of fire, and of course he never pulled the trigger,” Dershowitz said, referring to Routh. “So the question as the court will have to address, the question without a clear answer, is whether or not preparing, putting your gun in a location, putting it through the link fence, but not getting the president in the line of sight and not pulling the trigger is enough to turn it from preparation to attempt, and the law is just unclear on that.” (Read more from “Alan Dershowitz Says Feds May Not Be Able to Prosecute Would-Be Trump Assassin for Attempted Assassination” HERE)
