California Doctor Gives Weed Cookies to a Hyper Four-Year-Old Boy

/3 Comments/in , /by

A California doctor has been stripped of his license after giving a four-year-old boy some marijuana cookies in order to control the child’s temper tantrums. According to the BBC, Dr. William Eidelman, a natural medicine physician, misdiagnosed the boy with having bipolar disorder and attention deficit disorder (ADD). . .

However, Dr. Eidelman did not have his license revoked due to giving the four-year-old boy marijuana, which is legal in California for medicinal purposes. It was instead due to his being “negligent in his care and treatment” for not consulting a psychiatrist or communicating with the boy’s school.

Dr. Eidelman’s “treatment” of the boy began at the request of his father in 2012, who suffered from ADHD and bipolar disorder himself as a child.

“The boy’s father consulted Dr. Eidelman in September 2012 because his son was misbehaving at school,” reports BBC. “As a child, the boy’s father had ADHD and bipolar disorder himself and had a negative experience with prescribed medications at the time, saying he felt like a ‘human guinea pig.’ He started using marijuana later in life, saying it helped ‘calm him’ and changed his behavior towards his wife, towards whom he had previously ‘exhibited anger.'” . . .

Dr. Eidelman prescribed tiny amounts of cannabis to the boy via weed cookies. A school nurse later discovered the secret ingredient when she was asked to administer it to the boy at lunchtime. (Read more from “California Doctor Gives Weed Cookies to a Hyper Four-Year-Old Boy” HERE)

Disney Is Holding a Pride Parade at One of Its Theme Parks

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Walt Disney Company is embracing LGBT pride month for the first time ever and hosting a gay pride parade in its Disneyland Paris park in France.

The massive corporation has been moving toward a more liberal approach to sexual identity over the last decade, but the “Magical Pride” parade, set to take place on June 1, 2019, is the first time the Disney Parks have openly embraced and endorsed the shift.

The event will take place right at the beginning of global pride month — June — and will feature a “Magical March of Diversity Parade,” reportedly involving DJs, live music performances, and themed photo opportunities for visitors to the Disneyland Paris park, according to Queerty.

Gay pride events in Disney Parks are not new. The “Magical Pride” celebration has been an “unofficial” event at Disneyland Paris since 2014. Disney parks located in the United States — Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland in Anaheim, California — have both hosted unofficial LGBT events including “Gay Days,” an unofficial weekend celebration for gay couples and same sex parents. The first Gay Days celebration took place in the mid-to-late 2000s. . .

Disney has been inching closer to a cultural shift over the last decade, slowly incorporating openly LGBT characters into its television shows and animated features (including an LGBT background character in Frozen). The upcoming Disney live action film, Jungle Cruise, based on the Disney parks attraction of the same name, will feature the first openly gay character in a Disney live action feature — though the character in question will be played by a straight actor will embrace some unsavory stereotypes of gay culture.

AGT’s Jackie Evancho Reveals Hollywood Pedophiles ‘Wanted to Hurt Me’ as Childhood Star

/0 Comments/in , , /by

[Jackie] Evancho wrote that “entering adulthood as a 18 year old moving to New York, I felt the need to put this out into the universe as a way of continuing the healing process I’m on. I no longer have the fear to stay silent.” . . .

She recently returned to compete on “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” and wrote on Facebook “there are a lot of aspects that aren’t so glamorous about being a child in the music industry but there’s a lot that I’m thankful for and would never change.” . . .

“Throughout my childhood I was also facing another reality – that there were men out there who wanted to hurt me,” she said. “Some even went to the extreme of claiming they were priests and other disarming occupations to gain trust and easy access backstage, but clearly their intentions weren’t so pure.”

Evancho also said her family had the additional worry of potential stalkers “and other dangers of being in the spotlight that my family and I had to deal with.” (Read more from “AGT’s Jackie Evancho Reveals Hollywood Pedophiles ‘Wanted to Hurt Me’ as Childhood Star” HERE)

Texas Democrats Seek to Ban Christianity Using So-Called Anti-Discrimination Laws

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 86th Texas legislative session got underway a few weeks ago, and liberals are already going on the offense in the traditional conservative stronghold. Left-leaning legislators have formed Texas’ first LGBTQ caucus while promising a “transformative” agenda. This includes a number of proposed “sexual orientation and gender identity” laws (SOGI) that would attack people of faith so aggressively that they can justifiably be described as “Ban the Bible” bills.

“Ban the Bible” doesn’t have to mean confiscating physical Bibles. LGBT activists aren’t that obvious with their intentions (yet). But it does mean something even worse: stripping Texans of their right to practice biblical teachings in their day to day lives.

These bills would create new government power and protections that ban the free expression of biblically grounded beliefs, especially teaching on marriage and sexuality. Numerous bills seek to force people of faith to conform to others’ personal and political activities, while setting aside their own sincerely held religious beliefs. Those who do not comply will face fines, possible jail time, or other criminal charges. . .

These proposals try to fly under the radar as “anti-discrimination” bills, because who doesn’t want to stop bullying? But such so-called anti-discrimination laws turn law-abiding Christians into criminals and Texans can’t stand by and watch it happen. H.B. 244, for example, creates a $100 per day fine for any violation. H.B. 188 includes a Class A Misdemeanor, the same punishment for a DUI or domestic violence, which could lead to a year in jail if the anti-discrimination policy is not followed.

These policies are similar to ones used against Christian cake baker Jack Philips in Colorado. Jack, of course, famously won at the U.S. Supreme Court, but that wasn’t enough to stop liberals from trying again.

6-Year Old Texas Boy on Track for Repressed Puberty Due to Gender Dysphoria Diagnosis

/0 Comments/in , /by

As reported in an earlier article concerning a Dallas, Texas, custody case, when in the care of his mother six-year-old James attends first grade obediently dressed as a girl enrolled under the name “Luna.” But when with his father, where he’s given the choice of boy or girl clothes, James chooses boy clothes and refuses to wear girl clothing. Despite this inconsistent behavior, a gender therapist has given James a diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

In response, heartwarming things have happened in the fight to save James. A team of designers volunteered their services to update the savejames.com website and another caring friend started an online petition directed to Texan representatives to do something to prevent this kind of abuse of children. Generous people donated to the father’s legal expense fund, raising half of what is needed. . .

After writing the first article about James, I arranged to visit Jeff and his six-year-old twin sons in Texas. We met on a Thursday evening during the boys’ usual two hours of visitation with their father. To keep the time casual, Jeff suggested we spend the time with his good friends, the Scott family and their four young children, who always enjoy time together.

I observed James’ mannerisms, voice inflections, and interactions, looking for evidence of gender dysphoria. I can emphatically say that during the two hours of the visit I saw no sign of gender dysphoria. James indicated no desire to be a girl, nor did he behave like a girl or talk like a girl during the entire time. Both James and his brother happily engaged with the four Scott children and the adults. Both were talkative, demonstrated strong vocabularies, and eagerly showed off their artwork created during a previous playdate. . .

After observing James and his behavior, I cannot see how his counselor at Dallas Rainbow Counseling could have diagnosed James with gender dysphoria. She spent time with James and his father, where James showed a preference for being a boy. Even if James preferred a girl name in sessions with his mother, it is a huge leap to a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. He’s only six, after all.

Democrats to Remove God, Gender-Specific Language From Committee Oath

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Democrats proposed to strike “so help you God” from witnesses’ oaths before a major committee as part of their proposed rules package.

The current draft of the proposed House Committee on Natural Resources rules package replaces all gender-specific pronouns with “their,” and substitutes committee “Chair” for “Chairman” in committee documents. The rules package also proposes that witnesses who testify before the committee be administered an oath bereft of any reference to faith or God and that adds the phrase “under penalty of law.”

“Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?” the proposed oath reads, according to the draft obtained by Fox News Tuesday. . .

Oddly enough, the proposal to remove references to God comes just two months after Democrats proposed to remove a 181-year-old restriction on wearing religious headgear on the House floor in order to accommodate newly-elected Muslim women members.

STUDY: This Supposedly Causes Alzheimer’s

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a key bacteria in chronic gum disease, appears to be the cause of Alzheimer’s disease, researchers believe.

A slew of recent studies has focused on the connection between gum disease and Alzheimer’s, and researchers from the firm Cortexyme now believe their latest study shows P. gingivalis as the cause of the tragic memory loss disease, not a symptom.

“Bacteria involved in gum disease and other illnesses have been found after death in the brains of people who had Alzheimer’s, but until now, it hasn’t been clear whether these bacteria caused the disease or simply got in via brain damage caused by the condition,” reports New Scientist. . .

Regarding the link between the bacteria and Alzheimer’s, the site explains that experimental mice engineered to have the disease were found to have worsened symptoms if they had gum infections. Also, P. gingivalis “can cause Alzheimer’s-like brain inflammation, neural damage, and amyloid plaques in healthy mice.”

“In the new study, Cortexyme have now reported finding the toxic enzymes – called gingipains – that P. gingivalis uses to feed on human tissue in 96 per cent of the 54 Alzheimer’s brain samples they looked at, and found the bacteria themselves in all three Alzheimer’s brains whose DNA they examined,” the site noted.

Border Patrol Wives Issue Formal Proposal for Nancy Pelosi in Brutal Letter

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall an “immorality” earlier this month and has refused to provide funding for such a barrier, prolonging a partial government shutdown that Trump temporarily put the kibosh on earlier this week.

So, wives of United States Border Patrol agents have formally asked Pelosi to the southern border to illustrate the need for a barrier.

“We the WIVES OF THE RGV (Rio Grande Valley) BP (Border Patrol) would like to cordially invite you to come visit McAllen, TX as President Trump did,” reads a letter from border agents’ significant others, posted from Jill Demanski’s Facebook account. The letter was posted last Thursday, just before Trump paused the shutdown.

“Most of us wives will be home and available,” the letter continues, noting that they will be available and not “jetting off to Puerto Rico for a few days.” Pelosi was one of 30 Democrats to go to Puerto Rico, accompanied by 109 lobbyists, during the shutdown, reports The Washington Examiner.

“We would like to show you around! You don’t need to bring any security detail. Our husbands/boyfriends/fiances/wives/significant others are actually very good at their jobs, thank goodness!” the letter says. “And since you see no threat here, I’m sure you can just make a quick flight down here alone. Hey, Trump might even allow you to use his plane for this visit!!”

NYT Reporter Is Writing an ‘Expose Christian Schools’ Report. Here’s What He’s Found So Far.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York Times’s Dan Levin told Twitter on Thursday that he was writing a piece based on the hashtag #exposeChristianschools. He shared his prompt just a few days after the outrage over a group of Covington Catholic high school students and whether they taunted a group of Native American veterans. Further video footage suggested otherwise.

Some people predicted Levin’s final story would be a hit job on religious institutions. But, if there were those who tweeted back at him with negative experiences, they appeared to be few and far between. The majority of responses Levin received were from people eager to share how their Christian education shaped them for the better.

That’s when the New York Times contributor explained that he didn’t create the #exposeChristianschools hashtag. He was just writing a report on it and was happy to hear from everyone.

California College Drops Pledge of Allegiance Over ‘White Nationalism’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The board of trustees president for a California community college ended the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance at meetings, claiming the ritual was “steeped in expressions of nativism and white nationalism.”

Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees president Robert Miller explained his decision in an email to Celeste Barber, a former adjunct instructor. The emails were obtained by Campus Reform.

“I assume full responsibility for the decision not to recite the Pledge of Allegiance,” Miller wrote. “I agree with you that the Pledge is an example of good writing. It well demonstrates the principle that fewer, well-chosen words are often the most effective. I also applaud and honor the patriotism that motivates your request and share your reverence for the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. . .

Miller claimed in his email to Barber that the pledge carried with it some negative connotations that he wanted the school to get away from.

“Moreover, I have discovered that the Pledge of Allegiance has a history steeped in expressions of nativism and white nationalism. The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1890 by Francis Bellamy, a former Baptist minister. … In support of the Pledge, Mr. Bellamy expressed concern about the ‘races which we cannot assimilate without a lowering of our racial standard.'”
