Texas Fire Chaplain Fired After Saying Men Don’t Belong In Women’s Sports Scores $78K Settlement

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A Texas-based fire chaplain who was fired after defending women’s sports against the left’s “trans” agenda has scored a $78,000 settlement with the city of Austin, The Federalist has learned.

“Cases like this demonstrate that when you stand up, when you fight for the First Amendment, that cities don’t get away with this sort of thing,” the chaplain’s attorney and Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Hal Frampton told The Federalist.

The case in question centers around Dr. Andrew Fox, a now-former chaplain for the Austin Fire Department who immigrated to America from the United Kingdom in 1999. As described by Frampton, Fox — in a volunteer capacity — was responsible for organizing the chaplaincy program and helped recruit “associate chaplains to assist” with such services. In their roles, these individuals would visit fire stations and go out “to the scenes of emergencies to be with the firefighters after they had finished attending to the emergency so that they had someone to talk to.”

While volunteering with the Austin Fire Department, Fox also led a nonprofit bearing his name that “manages various aspects” of his ministry, according to his legal filing. The nonprofit boasts a website that includes a blog section in which the Christian minister expresses his thoughts on a variety of topics, such as faith and culture.

“The blog is not associated with the Fire Department in any way; rather, it introduces Dr. Fox as simply a ‘speaker,’ ‘author,’ and ‘teacher,’” according to his lawsuit. (Read more from “Texas Fire Chaplain Fired After Saying Men Don’t Belong In Women’s Sports Scores $78K Settlement” HERE)

Epstein Deposition Videos Show Bill Clinton Shaking and Furious Hillary Pounding the Table to Storm Off: ‘I’m Done With This’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Dramatic new footage of the Clinton depositions released by the powerful House Oversight Committee shows how a frustrated Hillary Clinton nearly stormed out after firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert snapped an unsanctioned photo of her.

The former Secretary of State got into epic shouting matches with MAGA firebrands during her sworn testimony last week, while her husband, whose hands were shaking throughout his deposition, finally gave answers to longstanding questions about his ties to late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.

“I am done with this if you guys are doing this, I’m done,” a shocked and furious-looking Hillary raged after one of her attorneys raised concerns about a photo of her that appeared online.

“You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home,” she fumed. “This is just typical behavior.”

Boebert copped to taking a photo of Hillary, but claimed to have done so before the hearing kicked off. Hillary vented that “it doesn’t matter, we all are abiding by the same rules.”

She pounded the table with her fist and started to leave. The deposition then went off the record, and Hillary ultimately returned.

Israeli PM Laughs Off Claim Trump Is Being ‘Dragged’ Into War With Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured Americans on Monday that there won’t be an “endless war” in the Middle East as the United States and Israel continue striking the Iranian regime.

“You’re not going to have an endless war,” Netanyahu told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an exclusive interview. “This terror regime in Iran is at the weakest point that it’s been since it hijacked Iran from the brave Iranian people 47 years ago. So this is going to be a quick and decisive action. And we’re going to create the conditions first for the Iranian people to get control of their destiny, to form their own democratically elected government, which will make a different Iran altogether.”

Netanyahu insisted that the destruction of the Iranian regime would pave the way for “many peace treaties” with other Muslim countries in the region and that it would “change the world.”

Netanyahu specifically cited Saudi Arabia as a nation he believes has “a lot to gain” from the Iranian regime’s fall and that peace between Saudi Arabia and Israel will be “very close” as a result.

“So this is a gateway for peace, for broader peace. And I believe that we can achieve it,” Netanyahu continued. “The most important thing to understand is that when we work together, President Trump and I, we achieved, in fact, four breakthroughs for peace. Brokered by President Trump working together with me, we brokered — we brought forward the Abraham Accords, which was four peace treaties with four Arab countries. And now working together against Iran, we will be able to bring many, many more peace treaties. So this is not an endless war. This is a gateway to peace. It’s the exact opposite of what people are saying.” (Read more from “Israeli PM Laughs Off Claim Trump Is Being ‘Dragged’ Into War With Iran” HERE)

Poll: GOP Voters’ Lukewarm Support for Iran Strikes Significantly Lower Than Past Conflicts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded on Sunday revealed that the joint U.S.-Israeli regime-change strikes are unpopular with most Americans.

While Republicans are apparently more supportive of the military campaign than their counterparts, the new poll found that such support is largely conditional and far less than for the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts.

The new polling is consistent with surveys conducted last month, which indicated that Americans were not particularly keen on the prospect of a new series of U.S. military strikes against Iran.

For instance, an SSRS/University of Maryland poll, conducted from Feb. 5 to Feb. 9, found that 21% of respondents favored an attack, 49% were opposed, and 30% were unsure. An Economist/YouGov poll found that 28% of respondents supported and 48% opposed the U.S. taking military action in Iran.

Despite strong public headwinds, the U.S. joined Israel in hammering the Shiite nation anyway, destroying numerous military assets and assassinating top Iranian officials over the weekend while sustaining numerous casualties.

The US Embassy in Saudi Arabia’s capital city of Riyadh was damaged in a suspected Iranian drone attack Monday night.

The embassy was hit by two drones, “resulting in a limited fire and minor material damage to the building,” a spokesperson for the Saudi defense ministry wrote on X.

A loud blast was heard, and a small fire was seen at the embassy, Reuters reported.

“The U.S. Mission to Saudi Arabia has issued a shelter in place notification for Jeddah, Riyadh and Dhahran and are limiting non-essential travel to any military installations in the region,” a “security alert” posted by the Riyadh embassy on X read.

“We recommend American citizens in the Kingdom to shelter in place immediately.” (Read more from “US Embassy in Saudi Arabia Hit in Suspected Iranian Drone Attack: Reports” HERE)

Viral Video Shows Kuwaiti Approaching US Air Force Pilot Who Ejected From Fighter Jet

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Video of an apparent interaction between a Kuwaiti citizen and a U.S. Air Force pilot who ejected from an F-15 fighter jet went viral online.

Three U.S. military jets were shot down from the sky in Kuwait, and reports initially assumed they were downed by Iran’s military forces. U.S. Central Command later indicated the incidents were the result of “friendly fire” from Kuwaiti air defenses.

The video shows the perspective of the Kuwaiti walking up to the soldier, who smiles as the man greets her and reassures her she is in friendly hands.

“You’re fine? Really? Do you need something to help you?” the man asks.

“No, I’m OK,” she replies.

“No problem, you’re safe, you’re safe. You’re safe,” he repeats. “Everything good? No problem.”

Supreme Court Blocks California Law That Stopped Schools From Telling Parents if Their Kid Is Transgender

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court on Monday blocked a law that prevents California schools from telling parents if their child comes out as transgender, after granting an emergency appeal from a conservative legal group.

The order for now blocks a state law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in July 2024 that made California the first state to bar school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child’s gender identification.

The ruling also blocks a rule that required teachers to use a student’s preferred pronouns.

Monday’s granting of an emergency appeal from a conservative legal group comes after many parents and teachers challenged the law.

The Thomas More Society, representing two sets of Catholic parents, argued the law causes schools to mislead them and secretly facilitates gender transition in minors. (Read more from “Supreme Court Blocks California Law That Stopped Schools From Telling Parents if Their Kid Is Transgender” HERE)

Far-Left Politician’s Shocking Marriage Secret — as She Lobbies Against Bombings

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, a far-left Democrat running in California’s 65th Assembly District, is an anti-war climate activist who’s called to defund the Pentagon — even as her household has profited from one of the nation’s largest weapons manufacturers.

The DSA-aligned candidate is the spouse of Fazlul Zubair, who works as a systems engineer manager for Raytheon, the same company that built the Tomahawk missiles reportedly used in the Iran strikes over the weekend.

The California Post asked Iqbal-Zubair to respond to the contradiction between her policy positions and her husband’s employment to Raytheon, which rebranded to the RTX Corporation in 2023.

“I have no comment,” she told The Post.

Iqbal-Zubair previously ran for state assembly in 2020 and 2022, when she was endorsed by the Democratic Socialist of America, an organization that pushes anti-war policies and advocates to defund the US military.

The Post reached out to the DSA to ask if it was aware of Iqbal-Zubair’s connection to one of the world’s largest defense contractors, but did not hear back. (Read more from “Far-Left Politician’s Shocking Marriage Secret — as She Lobbies Against Bombings” HERE)

Former ‘South Park’ Writer Toby Morton Launches Website to Send Barron Trump to War

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former South Park writer Toby Morton has launched a website calling for President Donald Trump’s son, Barron, to be forced into the U.S. military and sent to a war zone.

Morton, 50, who runs a large number of fake news parody websites and who claims he is a creator of “Anti-Fascist Websites,” recently launched DraftBarronTrump.com as the president continues his military actions in Iran to rid the world of the fascist Iranian Mullah regime.

Morton’s attack on 19-year-old Barron Trump begins telling visitors, “America is strong because its leaders are strong. President Trump proves that every day. Naturally, his son Barron is more than ready to defend the country his father so boldly commands. Service is honor. Strength is inherited.”

“Dog Bless Barron,” the site continues.

Morton’s site also proclaims, “This site is dedicated to honoring the strongest and bravest voices in war. When power is projected abroad, it is only right that strength exists at home. If you’re looking for proven genes, inherited courage, and unquestionable resolve, look no further than the Trump family. Leadership starts somewhere.” (Read more from “Former ‘South Park’ Writer Toby Morton Launches Website to Send Barron Trump to War” HERE)
