Government Fires Doctor for Refusing to Identify Transgender Patients by Their Chosen Pronouns

/0 Comments/in , /by

The National Health Service in the United Kingdom fired a Christian doctor who refused to identify transgender patients by their chosen pronouns.

David Mackereth, who worked for the NHS for 26 years, told the Telegraph that the British government denied him his rights to freedom of speech based on his faith.

Mackereth had been training to become a health and disability assessor for the Department for Work and Pensions when the instructor stated that all clients and patients interviewed and reported on must be addressed by their preferred gender.

“I said that I had a problem with this. I believe that gender is defined by biology and genetics. And that as a Christian the Bible teaches us that God made humans male or female. I could have kept my mouth shut. But it was the right time to raise it,” Mackereth told the Telegraph. “The tutor took me aside and said he had passed my comments up the chain to the DWP.” . . .

“I’m not attacking the transgender movement. But, I’m defending my right to freedom of speech, and freedom of belief,” Mackareth said. “I don’t believe I should be compelled to use a specific pronoun. I am not setting out to upset anyone. But, if upsetting someone can lead to doctors being sacked then, as a society we have to examine where we are going.” (Read more from “Government Fires Doctor for Refusing to Identify Transgender Patients by Their Chosen Pronouns” HERE)

500,000 Premature U.S. Deaths Expected in Next Decade – Here’s the Terrifying Reason Why

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Today, like the Titanic disaster, America’s ever-growing opioid epidemic is the result of another perfect storm of cascading events and conditions. But instead of 1,500 dead, the opioid crisis has taken the lives of more than 500,000 Americans since 2000 – and some experts believe another 500,000 may die in the next decade if current trends persist. In 2016 and 2017, more Americans lost their lives each year to drug overdoses than died during the entire Vietnam War, driving Americans’ life expectancy as a whole downward.

And the epidemic is only worsening. According to new data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in March, opioid overdoses are dramatically spiking across America.

“We have an emergency on our hands,” CDC acting director Anne Schuchat told National Public Radio. “The fast-moving opioid overdose epidemic continues and is accelerating. We saw, sadly, that in every region, in every age group of adults, in both men and women, overdoses from opioids are increasing.” In the last year, hospitalizations for overdoses jumped 14 percent in the Southeast, 20.2 percent in the Southwest, 21.3 percent in the Northeast, 40.3 percent in the West, and a staggering 69.7 percent in the Midwest.

Moreover, officials say overdose and death rates are almost certainly higher than those reflected by statistics, since many victims never see the inside of an emergency room. Indeed, fueled especially by ultra-potent substances like fentanyl, drug overdoses are now the leading cause of accidental death for Americans under the age of 50, reports the CDC.

More ominous yet, it turns out many “accidental” overdose deaths may be intentional. Maria A. Oquendo, M.D., Ph.D., immediate past president of the American Psychiatric Association, recently said that based on the best available data, “it looks like it’s anywhere between 25 and 45 percent of deaths by overdose that may be actual suicides.” (Read more from “500,000 U.S. Deaths Expected in Next Decade – Here’s the Terrifying Reason Why” HERE)

Socialist Ocasio-Cortez Changes Misleading Bio After Truth Exposed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the self-declared “democratic-socialist” from the Bronx, is accused of changing her biography on her campaign website days after she was criticized for misleading voters about where she grew up.

Ocasio-Cortez received national acclaim after she defeated 10-term congressman Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.) in the New York Democratic primary last month. She will be running as the Democratic candidate for New York’s 14th congressional district this November and is almost guaranteed to win. . .

As the Journal News noted, Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign biography originally stated: “She ended up attending public school 40 minutes north in Yorktown, and much of her life was defined by the 40-minute commute between school and her family in the Bronx.”

However, the sentence was rather misleading. It was later revealed that Ocasio-Cortez’s “girl from the Bronx” moniker was dishonest because her family moved away from New York City when she was 5 years old. They moved about an hour north to the ritzy suburb of Yorktown Heights in Westchester County, one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S.

The website biography has since been updated, but it still doesn’t explicitly state that Ocasio-Cortez’s move to Westchester County was permanent. (Read more from “Socialist Ocasio-Cortez Changes Misleading Bio After Truth Exposed” HERE)

Guess Which Restaurant Was Crowned America’s Favorite Fast Food Chain? Leftists Will Hate This

/0 Comments/in , , /by

More and more evidence keeps pouring in that the Left’s war on the fast food chain Chick-fil-A has failed abysmally. For the third year in a row, it has been crowned America’s number one fast-food chain.

“Chick-fil-A was named America’s top fast-food restaurant for the third year in a row in the 2018 American Customer Satisfaction Index’s Restaurant Report, which surveyed more than 22,500 American consumers,” reports Ledger-Enquirer. . .

“The chicken specialist dominates the rankings with the highest score across both restaurant categories, and its food quality continues to rate higher than the competition. Chick-fil-A maintains a wide lead over chicken rival KFC, as the Yum! Brands chain slips 1% to 77,” the report said.

The Atlanta-based company has held the top spot for three years now, which means their popularity only climbed following the backlash over CEO Dan Cathy expressing support for traditional marriage. The controversy reached such a fever-pitch that even city mayors tried to ban them from doing business. (Read more from “Guess Which Restaurant Was Crowned America’s Favorite Fast Food Chain?

C’Mon! Leftists Protest ICE Officials as They Infiltrate a Child Sex Trafficking Ring Ran by Illegals

/0 Comments/in , /by

Liberal protesters in California scrambled to protest as they believed ICE agents were making an immigration raid on neighbors.

They gathered outside of an Oakland home Tuesday where Homeland Security officials were actually executing a federal criminal search warrant in connection with a child sex trafficking ring. . .

Clueless young liberals speaking with KPIX-TV admitted that although they didn’t know the details of what the federal agents were doing, the fact that they saw “a bunch of cop cars, a bunch of other cars that are apparently ICE cars,” was alarming given that there are “a lot of injustices going on.”

Oakland Police confirmed to KPIX that “this was in fact a federal criminal search warrant executed in connection with human sex trafficking of juveniles right here in the 700 block of 27th street,” reporter Neda Iranpour shared.

The ridiculous knee-jerk reactions of the left, especially as law enforcement was in the process of doing their job of rescuing human trafficking victims, were mocked and lambasted on Twitter.

Michelle Wolf Launches Vile Attack Against Ivanka, Makes Repulsive Comparison

/0 Comments/in , /by

After a controversial turn as host of the annual White House Correspondents Dinner earlier this year, comedian Michelle Wolf has gone on to push more boundaries as the host of her own Netflix talk show.

As The Hill reported, she received backlash after the most recent episode, which included rants about first daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump, among others in the administration of President Donald Trump.

One segment offered satirical advice for insulting White House officials, explaining that she supports Rep. Maxine Water’s call for harassing them but does not think “casual” protests will work.

“You can’t just casually harass these people,” she said. “You have to insult them specifically.”

Referencing a crass depiction of Ivanka Trump last month by Samantha Bee, Wolf cautioned that the profane language used by the “Full Frontal” host was not effective.

“‘You’re a c***’ doesn’t hurt them,” she said. “It’s on their vision board.”

Wolf went on to offer some alternatives she said would impact Trump administration officials more acutely.

In order to affect members of the administration, she said, critics would need to choose words that are “life-alteringly hurtful” to their targets and “hit their deepest insecurities with the hot venom of a teenager from a broken home.”

Though she provided insults to several elected officials and other prominent government figures, she spent a majority of the segment focused on Ivanka Trump.

“First, call her Tiffany,” Wolf advised users who spot Trump in public. “This will devastate her.”

The host then launched into several pointed jabs generally related to Ivanka Trump’s perceived ineffectiveness in blunting her father’s harsh policies.

“Ivanka, you’re like vaginal mesh,” Wolf said in her first suggested insult. “You were supposed to support women but now you have blood all over and you’re the center of a thousand lawsuits.”

Another joke compared her to Yaz, a birth control pill some studies linked to adverse side effects.

“At first it seemed like it would be really cool and helpful, but you need to be immediately recalled,” Wolf said.

Interjected into her jokes at the expense of other Trump officials, Wolf provided several other insults related to Ivanka Trump.

“Hey girl, do your legs hurt? Because you’ve been running afoul of government ethics all year,” she suggested as the next alternative.

Acknowledging that the insult will “satisfy you more than it will hurt her,” Wolf added yet another vulgar comparison she said would be sure to hit its mark.

“Is your nickname herpes? Because you’re not necessarily the most dangerous person in the administration, but you’re very unpleasant, totally incurable and you always show up when we’re about to get f****d,” she said.

Wolf closed the segment by referring to Ivanka Trump as the “prettiest tumor in a swiftly moving cancer.” (Read more from “Michelle Wolf Launches Vile Attack Against Ivanka, Makes Repulsive Comparison” HERE)

Sheriff’s Deputy With an AR-15 Rescues Girl Trapped in Tree by 9-Foot Alligator

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. A 15-year-old Florida girl found herself hanging on to a tree for her life Friday afternoon as a large and aggressive alligator waited, hissing just feet below her, according to the Washington Post.

The girl, Jordan Broderick, clung to a tree branch nearly to the point of exhaustion until a sheriff’s deputy showed up and made quick work of the gator, saving the girl’s life.

Before the officer arrived, however, there was a half an hour of panic as Broderick’s family feared for her life and frantically communicated with 911 dispatch. . .

Finally, Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy Mitch Blackmon was the first to arrive on the scene. When he got there, he knew exactly what to do.

“I fired one single .223 round from my Bushmaster AR-15, killing the alligator,” Blackmon wrote on the incident report. (Read more from “Sheriff’s Deputy With an Ar-15 Rescues Girl Trapped in Tree by 9-Foot Alligator” HERE)

An Alligator Trapped a Teenage Girl in a Tree. Then a Deputy Arrived With an Ar-15.

By Washington Post. . . One gator in particular — a nine-foot specimen — cut a path toward the girl floating on a raft in the Ocala National Forest in central Florida on Friday afternoon.

She thought fast, scurrying up a tree branch hanging over the water. The alligator hissed and waited at the base of the tree. . .

Jordan, her mother and the dispatcher may not have known what the alligators are coded with instinct to know. July marks the end of mating season, when the reptiles are particularly aggressive and territorial, Miami-Dade Zoological Park and Gardens spokesman Ron Magill told The Post. . .

By the time Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy Mitch Blackmon arrived, ahead of the marine unit, Jordan had been in the tree for about 30 minutes. She was screaming and exhausted from hanging on, according to the incident report. (Read more from “An Alligator Trapped a Teenage Girl in a Tree. Then a Deputy Arrived With an Ar-15.” HERE)

School District Refuses to Permit Parents to See LGBT Videos Students Were Forced to Watch

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a Pennsylvania school district, after roughly 2,800 students were forced to watch LGBT videos during LGBT “Unity Week” in April, parents and conservative activists asked the district to provide links to the videos so they could see what their children had watched. . .

As The Christian Post noted of Principal Kate Kieres of Emmaus High School, where the videos were shown, “Despite parents’ requests to see the videos, Kieres stated that the school board solicitor has advised that ‘these videos cannot be sent to you, because they are part of a student project.’”

In June, parents of students and the president of the state’s chapter of the American Family Association objected at a school board meeting. The religious freedom law firm Liberty Counsel sent a letter on June 22 to the superintendent of the East Penn School District asking for the links to the four videos the students saw at Emmaus High School. As The Christian Post noted, “The videos were part of activities organized for ‘Unity Week’ and the nationwide ‘Day of Silence’ sponsored by the national LGBT lobbying group GLSEN. The four videos that were shown to students were sponsored by the school’s Gay Straight Alliance club.”

In the June 22 letter, attorney Richard Mast threatened a lawsuit under the state’s “Right to Know” law if the school didn’t cough up the links to the videos and all emails sent to the principal or the school’s GSA adviser revolving around the issue.

Actress Tweets About an ICE Checkpoint and Accidentally Reveals Why Hollywood REALLY Cares About Illegal Immigration

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. Hollywood actress (and Johnny Depp ex-wife) Amber Heard accidentally revealed exactly what Hollywood anti-immigration activists think of the people they’re “saving” when she tweeted Tuesday morning about an “ICE checkpoint” near her home in Los Angeles.

“Just heard there’s an ICE checkpoint in Hollywood, a few blocks from where I live” Heard tweeted. Everyone better give their housekeepers, nannies and landscapers a ride home tonight.”

That’s . . . revelatory. And not just because it’s actually racist to assume all “illegal immigrants” are serving as domestics and in other unskilled jobs. It begs the question as to whom Hollywood immigration activists really believe they’re protecting by showing up fashionably late to immigration protests along the California border, but early enough to get their photo taken for Instagram.

Amber Heard, at least, seems to believe that an illegal immigrant underclass exists largely to serve her A-list and B-list kind as potentially underpaid, overworked, illegally hired servants, who have no recourse to the Occupation Safety and Health Administration, or state or federal authorities, if they’re mistreated or abused, lest they have to admit their lack of legal status and be deported.

Philadelphia ICE Protests Turn Violent as Police Clear out Demonstrators

By Fox News. Police got into violent scuffles with protesters in Philadelphia on Tuesday, reportedly hauling away at least a dozen people who had been blocking the front door of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office.

Philadelphia Police started directing the protesters away from the Center City office around noon Tuesday, but some of the removals turned violent. Video footage broadcast on local news stations showed some of the protesters scuffling with police. The exact number of arrests was not immediately clear.

“You said if we took the tents down you would arrest nobody. But you still arrested people what the f— is wrong with you?” one of the protesters tells police in a video clip.

“You have no shame. You have no words. That’s why you are a f—— cop. That’s why you never finished high school,” the protester continued.

The demonstration came amid a national debate over the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance immigration policies, and followed similar protests across the U.S. (Read more from “Philadelphia ICE Protests Turn Violent as Police Clear out Demonstrators” HERE)
