Government Proposes Ban on Transgender Procedures for Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

The British government is proposing a complete ban on transgender medical procedures for children, and American lawmakers would be “wise” to follow that example, contends a leading family advocate.

Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies for the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., wrote that British officials don’t want to put young people “on a torturous and unnecessary path that is permanent and life-changing.”

“When state legislators in the U.S. are able to convene again,” he wrote, “they would be wise to follow the British example and prohibit ‘torturous and unnecessary’ gender transition medical procedures for minors.”

Liz Truss, the U.K.’s minister for women and equalities, recently told a parliamentary committee that the Conservative party government would propose amendments to the nation’s Gender Recognition Act.

Truss said a priority would be to make certain “the under 18s are protected from decisions that they could make, that are irreversible in the future.” (Read more from “Government Proposes Ban on Transgender Procedures for Children” HERE)

Army Chaplain Under Fire for Sharing Book ‘Coronavirus and Christ’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twenty-two military chaplains are calling on a senior army chaplain to be disciplined and possibly court-martialed for sending nearly three-dozen other chaplains an email containing a copy of John Piper’s new e-book, Coronavirus and Christ.

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper is being urged by a national legal organization to punish Senior Chaplain Col. Moon H. Kim, the command chaplain of U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys in South Korea, the largest U.S. military installation outside of the United States.

In a letter sent this week, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation said Kim sent out an email using his official military email address to 35 other chaplains on Wednesday containing an “unsolicited” PDF copy of Piper’s new e-book Coronavirus and Christ.

MRFF, which advocates for a strict separation of church and state within the U.S. military, is representing 22 clients all of whom are Christians from mostly mainline and progressive traditions and felt if they came forward publicly in opposition to Kim’s email they would face repercussions.

Researchers Find No Evidence of Children Passing Coronavirus to Adults

/0 Comments/in , /by

No child has been found to have passed coronavirus to an adult, a review of the evidence in partnership with the Royal College of Paediatrics has found.

Major studies into the impact of COVID-19 on young children suggest they “do not play a significant role” in spreading the virus and are less likely to become infected than adults.

While experts insist that more evidence is needed, they note there has not been a single case of a child under 10 transmitting the virus, even in contact tracing carried out by the World Health Organisation (WHO). . .

Led by Dr Alasdair Munro, a clinical research fellow in paediatric infectious diseases, the research concluded: “COVID-19 appears to affect children less often, and with less severity, including frequent asymptomatic or subclinical infection. There is evidence of critical illness, but it is rare.

“The role of children in transmission is unclear, but it seems likely they do not play a significant role.” (Read more from “Researchers Find No Evidence of Children Passing Coronavirus to Adults” HERE)

Yikes: The New York Times Issues Statement, Calls out Biden Campaign for Lying About Tara Reade Allegation

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Yesterday, a memo circulated from the Biden campaign that issued talking points about the Tara Reade sexual assault allegation. One of those talking points was to claim that The New York Times had done a “thorough investigation” and had essentially debunked the claim. We saw Stacey Abrams repeat that verbatim in an interview yesterday, where she ended by stating the assault “did not happen,” another line from the talking points.

Now, the Times is pushing back on the Biden campaign and its surrogates. They issued a statement pointedly saying that their previous article should not be used as evidence against Tara Reade and that it does not say what they are claiming it says. . .

I won’t kid myself though. The Times may have felt the need to offer a correction of the Biden campaign here, but they still aren’t going to take the Reade allegation seriously. They’ll continue to cover for the former VP just as they’ve done from the beginning. The real question is whether any Democrats will break rank. Where’s Bernie Sanders, who could likely rejuvenate his campaign right now if he took Reade’s side? He’s a political coward though, so I doubt he makes that move. I wonder how his fans feel knowing they got so thoroughly played by the old communist?

Coronavirus Pandemic: Dozens of Bodies Found Stacked in Unrefrigerated U-Haul Trucks Outside of Funeral Home

/0 Comments/in , /by

An investigation is underway in New York City after authorities uncovered dozens of decomposing bodies in unrefrigerated trucks outside a funeral home.

In addition to being stacked in the U-Haul trucks, there were also reportedly bodies lying on the floor inside the facility. Sources told the New York Post that police discovered about 40 to 60 corpses when they arrived Wednesday at the scene outside Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Services in Brooklyn.

Sgt. Jessica McRorie, a spokeswoman with the New York Police Department, told the Washington Examiner that police responded to a 911 call at about 11:30 a.m. She said officers were able to determine that the trucks were owned by a nearby funeral home. McRorie said that the New York State Department of Health and the state’s Department of Environmental Protection were conducting the investigation into the discovery.

The funeral home began storing bodies improperly after its freezer stopped working, a law enforcement source told the New York Times. . .

The NYPD was reportedly contacted after neighbors near the funeral home reported a foul odor coming from the property. One man who owns a nearby property, John DiPietro, told the New York Post he had seen bodies being placed in the trucks as the coronavirus continues to ravage New York.

This State Was One Vote Away From Releasing an Infamous Serial Killer Into the Public Over COVID-19 Concerns

/0 Comments/in , /by

In 5-4 decision last Thursday, the Washington State Supreme Court narrowly denied a petition that would have released thousands of inmates from state prisons — including some who committed serious violent crimes such as assault, rape, and murder.

One of those inmates would have been infamous serial killer Gary Ridgeway, a stunning report by PJ Media noted.

Ridgeway, also known as “the Green River Killer,” was sentenced to 500 years in prison in 2003 after being convicted of murdering 49 women, many of whom were prostitutes, in the 1980s and 1990s. He later confessed to murdering upward of 80 women. . .

Columbia Legal Services filed the petition last month which sought the release of all state inmates over the age of 50, with early release dates, or with risk of serious harm or death from COVID-19 due to underlying medical conditions. Ridgeway is 71 years old.

Nick Straley, an attorney for the legal group, argued that thousands of inmates should be released in order to preserve their safety and to allow for social distancing within prison facilities.

UNBELIEVABLE: U.S. Doctors Have Started Giving Men With Coronavirus Estrogen After Finding the Virus Kills Half as Many Women

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. Doctors are wondering if giving men two female sex hormones could make them more likely to survive the novel coronavirus. . .

This has led many researchers to wonder if the hormones mainly produced in women could be protective, reported The New York Times.

Two hospitals in the US are now putting that theory to the test, giving men estrogen or progesterone for a limited amount of time to see if it boosts their immune systems, decreases inflammation and reduces the severity of the illness.

Scientists say they don’t know why women seem less likely to die, but have suggested that women naturally tend to have stronger immune systems and are less likely to have long-term health conditions which make patients more vulnerable.

In China, researchers pointed the finger at men being more likely to smoke and drink, but this was a cultural factor which may be different in other countries.

_____________________________________________

Doctors Have No Idea If It Will Work, But What the Heck. . .

By Nicoletta Lanese. The sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which women produce in larger quantities than men, help to regulate the female immune system and may grant women special resistance against infections and harmful immune system responses, the Times reported. With that in mind, scientists at Cedars-Sinai and the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University plan to treat small groups of COVID-19 patients with the hormones, to see if they make a difference.

“We may not understand exactly how estrogen works [to counteract COVID-19], but maybe we can see how the patient does,” Dr. Sharon Nachman, the principal investigator of the Stony Brook University trial, told the Times.

The Stony Brook trial will include 110 patients with confirmed or presumed cases of COVID-19 who develop at least one serious symptom, such as high fever, shortness of breath or pneumonia, but do not yet require mechanical breathing support through intubation, according to ClinicalTrials.gov. All men ages 18 and older may enter the trial, as well as women ages 55 and older (women’s estrogen levels tend to decline after menopause.) Half the participants will be treated with an estrogen patch placed on their skin for one week, while the other half will receive standard medical care.

More Sex Offenders Released Nationwide as Peaceful Americans Arrested

/0 Comments/in , /by

Does Bill de Blasio find it “unconscionable” that an accused rapist released from jail would try to rape again?

Among the thousands of criminals released by the New York mayor thanks to politically motivated “science” was Robert Pondexter, 57. Putting aside even the veneer of limiting the jailbreak to “low-level” criminals, Pondexter was released on April 15 even though he had a prior rape charge on his rap sheet. On Saturday, just 10 days later, Pondexter was arrested and charged with sexual assault and attempted rape. He allegedly grabbed a random stranger by the shirt collar, forced her to perform a sexual act, and then tried to rape her, but she was able to escape.

Pondexter was last in jail at Rikers Island on a parole violation charge. These governors and mayors are making parole violations low-level crimes with no regard for their past histories. We saw this last month when New York Gov. Cuomo released eight high-level sex offenders in Monroe County because they were “only” in prison at that time for parole violations.

Crime has skyrocketed in parts of New York, with auto theft up 63 percent and commercial burglaries up 75 percent: a very logical outcome to an illogical policy.

Across the country in Washington state, the residents of the Evergreen State dodged a bullet when the state’s supreme court rebuffed an attempt to release 12,000 criminals, including notorious mass murderers. The liberal jailbreak group suing for release lost by just one vote in the 5-4 decision. However, what the Left failed to accomplish through the judiciary, Gov. Jay Inslee is doing without a lawsuit.

According to KTTH’s Jason Rantz, the Department of Corrections (DOC) lists a sex offender and eight gang members among those slated to be released. Milo M. McCune “was caught exposing himself to a group of children near Regal Elementary,” according to local media, but will now be released due to concerns of social distancing in prison! Again, as in New York, Washington is not considering McCune violent because his latest stint in prison was for issuing a death threat! Also, just three months before, he failed to register as a sex offender after a child rape conviction.

Inslee is commuting a lot of these sentences. Other governors claim these measures are temporary, but nobody believes they will be re-incarcerated, given that most of these governors are motivated by jailbreak, not science, and therefore view jailbreak as a necessary virtue, not even a necessary evil.

In reality, the entire premise of coronavirus jailbreak is circular logic at its finest. Thanks to numerous serology tests, we now know that this disease has spread far and wide and that most people are asymptomatic. We also know the fatality rate is low. The ACLU and other leftist groups claim if prisoners are not released, they will die because this will spread like wildfire in the prisons and create “viral explosions” in “petri dishes.”

But here’s the circular logic. In reality, if it is that contagious and transmits so quickly in prison, it means this disease has already spread like wildfire for months, so there is no purpose to releasing them now. We saw a similar dynamic aboard naval ships, where a large percentage of the crew on board the USS Theodore Roosevelt contracted the virus, but only one of a thousand died. Criminals have no greater entitlement to protection against the virus than other Americans or military members.

Also, there is actually a greater risk that they will spread the disease outside prison. Most of them are still not being tested before release, but the majority of this predominantly younger population would be asymptomatic. According to Reuters, a recent tally of 3,277 inmates in state prison systems in Arkansas, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia who had tested positive for the virus showed that 96 percent of them were asymptomatic. Why remove them from a place where the virus already spread so they could spread it elsewhere? Prison is the ultimate shelter-in-place.

Moreover, as Sean Kennedy writes in the Washington Post, prisoners are actually likely to get better care in prison:

The support services that these ex-prisoners need — such as Medicaid, substance abuse clinics and government assistance offices — are all but closed. When proper protocols are implemented and equipment is furnished, prisons and jails can provide sanitation, medical care and monitoring services more effectively than these releasees could receive outside the walls. They often already have ready procedures — rotating meal times, cell lockdowns and protective equipment and sanitation — available for the health and security of inmates and staff alike.

Finally, if these people can’t abide by simple laws of morality, do you really think they will abide by the much-vaunted social distancing edicts? The same politicians harshly enforcing unconstitutional edicts against peaceful Americans under the new American religion of social distancing have no problem releasing sex offenders and gang-bangers.

Yet the entire pseudo-science guiding these policies is designed to achieve these very perverse and immoral outcomes – criminalizing civil rights and economic activity while protecting violent criminals and illegal aliens.

Gov. Jay Inslee is one of the most notorious sanctuary governors, openly and illegally flouting ironclad federal power to enforce national sovereignty. Perversely, this same man is now incredulous that some county sheriffs will serve as sanctuaries for peaceful Americans and refuse to enforce his unconstitutional restrictions on civil liberties.

“For whatever talent they have, they just are not given that right in our democracy to make a decision about the Constitution,” said Inslee in response to two sheriffs who said they would not enforce his house arrest edict.

A sanctuary for illegal aliens, but not for Americans.

Just whose country is this, anyway? (For more from the author of “More Sex Offenders Released Nationwide as Peaceful Americans Arrested” please click HERE)

Popular Radio Host Tells Trump Supporters to Drink Bleach and Die

/0 Comments/in , /by

Talk radio icon Howard Stern declared that he is “all in” for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, and then added that he wanted Trump supporters to drink bleach and die.

Stern made the comments on his SiriusXM show after criticizing President Donald Trump for pondering aloud during a coronavirus task force media briefing if disinfectant or ultraviolet light could be used to combat the pandemic. He later said he was being sarcastic.

“What’s it going to take? I don’t get it,” Stern said about Trump’s comments. “I don’t think there is anyone left who will vote for him.” . . .

“I would love it if Donald would get on TV and take an injection of Clorox and let’s see if his theory works. Hold a big rally, say f**k this coronavirus, with all of his followers, and let them hug each other and kiss each other and have a big rally,” Stern continued.

“And all take disinfectant and all drop dead,” he added. (Read more from “Popular Radio Host Tells Trump Supporters to Drink Bleach and Die” HERE)

World Abortion Leaders Exploit Virus to Push Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

As part of its COVID-19 response, the World Health Organization has declared abortion as an essential service.

The U.K. has now issued temporary approval for chemical abortions to be completely done at home. The U.S. abortion lobby continues to call for the Food and Drug Administration to lift restrictions (REMs) off the abortion pill (U.S. brand “Mifeprex”), making way for complete “self-managed” abortions.

Unfortunately, this is what the abortion industry all over the world has pursued even before the current pandemic—for abortions to be unrestricted, unregulated, and do-it-yourself. . .

Gone are the days of abortion activists calling for abortions to be “safe, legal, and rare” to protect against desperate women performing their own “back alley” abortions. Now, abortion pills are the new back-alley method, credentialed by the world’s most prestigious medical institutions.

By placing the burden of inducing abortions completely on women—despite the fact that the health complications that often result from an induced chemical abortion are eerily similar to those of “back alley” abortions—it is evident that the abortion industry has no regard for human dignity whatsoever—for the child or the mother.
