/0 Comments/in , /by

An elderly Tennessee woman fought off a bear Wednesday with a lawn chair as her only weapon.

Altha Williams, 90, was attacked by a black bear on her front porch, according to a report.

The bear was with three cubs, she said. . .

The animal’s “face was right in my face,” she continued. “I was just sitting here, hadn’t been here more than two or three minutes. Evidently, it heard me.”

Williams, whose house is near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, used her lawn chair to fend off the bear, she said. (Read more from “90-Year-Old Woman Fights off Large Bear Using Lawn Chair” HERE)

The Science on Brain Development Rebukes Those Pushing Gender Transition on Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is currently considering publishing regulations that will push for potentially irreversible medical and surgical interventions for people with gender dysphoria in the name of health care. In April, HHS Assistant Secretary Rachel L. Levine stated “gender affirming care is medical care” and included children and adolescents in that equation.

Levine also reaffirmed a principle articulated by Hippocrates that physicians should do no harm. Can a physician provide interventions like potentially sterilizing hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents without doing harm? Research on adolescent brain development and decision-making indicates these two concepts are contradictory.

Our society is encouraging adolescents to make crucial decisions with lifelong consequences as research continues to document the immaturity of the adolescent brain. It does not utilize the strategizing and planning center, the prefrontal cortex, in the same manner as adults.

The American College of Pediatricians, of which I am a board member, just published a new position statement entitled “The Teenage Brain: Under Construction” with research showing that adolescents’ brains are not developed enough to make sound decisions, and this should inform potential medical and surgical interventions on minors with gender dysphoria because of their lifelong consequences.

Neuroscientists studying decision-making have found adolescents are much more likely to rely upon emotions and peer pressure and less likely to consider future consequences. Researchers now talk about two systems for decision-making in the brain: a socioemotional system and a cognitive-control system.

Pixar’s New Buzz Lightyear Movie, Banned in 14 Countries, Features Lesbian Scene

/0 Comments/in , /by

The [movie’s lesbian] controversy stems from a character named Hawthorne (played by Uzo Aduba), who kisses her wife in a brief scene that depicts milestones in the character’s life. . .

“Lightyear” star Chris Evans has slammed critics of a same-sex kiss in his new movie, calling them “idiots” . . .

Pixar came under fire for removing the kiss after staff members sent an open letter stating that Disney has censored same-sex affection in the past and in reaction to Florida’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

The studio later restored the kiss after pressure from its employees continued to mount.

“Lightyear,” which received mixed reviews from critics, will blast off into theaters June 17. (Read more from “Pixar’s New Buzz Lightyear Movie, Banned in 14 Countries, Features Lesbian Scene” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Florida churchgoers helped save two young girls from being abducted after one of the victims mouthed “help me, this is not my dad,” authorities said.

The two girls, both aged under 12, were leaving a restaurant outside Tampa on Sunday night when 37-year-old David Daniels approached them and said he’d “supervise” their walk home, FOX13 reported.

Daniels allegedly started hitting one of the girls over the head multiple times and continued to follow them, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said.

The girls, who didn’t know Daniels, then jumped on their bikes and rode towards a nearby church to ask for help.

Daniels is accused of following the girls into the church and claiming they were his daughters. (Read more from “Churchgoers Save Two Girls From Abduction After One Mouths ‘Help Me’” HERE)

A Michigan attorney general is facing criticism after she suggested that there should be “a drag queen for every school.”

Attorney General Dana Nessel made the comments during a civil rights summit in Lansing, Michigan, on Wednesday.

Nessel is the first openly gay person voted into statewide office in Michigan.

“Drag queens make everything better. Drag queens are fun,” she is quoted as saying by Detroit News reporter Craig Mauger.

“A drag queen for every school,” she reportedly added. Mauger went on to tweet that Nessel admitted her comment had not been poll-tested. (Read more from “Gay Attorney General Says There Should Be a ‘Drag Queen for Every School'” HERE)

Biden Announces Expansion of Access to Sex Changes for Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden will sign a “historic” executive order Wednesday ordering the Department of Health and Human Services to expand efforts to increase the ability of Americans (including children) who identify as transgender to obtain sex-change surgeries.

“President Biden believes that no one should face discrimination because of who they are or whom they love. Since President Biden took office, he has championed the rights of LGBTQI+ Americans and people around the world, accelerating the march towards full equality,” the Biden administration said in a fact sheet issued June 15.

The executive order will address the slew of Republican legislation banning transgender surgeries for minors and biological males from girls’ spaces — legislation dubbed by the Biden administration as “legislative attacks against LGBTQI+ children and families.”

It will also “crack down” on conversion therapy, which the Biden administration describes as “a discredited and dangerous practice that seeks to suppress or change the sexual orientation or gender identity of LGBTQI+ people,” ordering HHS to “explore guidance to clarify that federally-funded programs cannot offer so-called ‘conversion therapy.’”

“Over 300 anti-LGBTQI+ laws have been introduced in state legislatures over the past year, and many of them specifically target transgender children and their parents by banning access to medical care and support at school,” the Biden administration fact sheet said. “President Biden is addressing these harmful, hateful, and discriminatory attacks head-on – not only by speaking up for America’s families, but taking action to stand up to the bullies targeting LGBTQI+ people.” (Read more from “Biden Announces Expansion of Access to Sex Changes for Children” HERE)

Choosing Violence: Arsonists Firebomb Pro-life Legislator’s Office in Latest Attack

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two masked individuals smashed a window and threw a lit flare into Washington state House Rep. Andrew Barkis’ office building in Olympia, Washington, on Monday.

Security footage shows two men approaching the office building before breaking the window with a hammer and throwing a flaming flare into the building, which Barkis owns and is leased by the House Republican Organizational Committee, My Northwest reported. The flare landed on the masonry floor but was unable to light the building on fire.

Multiple pro-life groups have been the target of arson since the leaked draft ruling showing the U.S. Supreme Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade was published in May. Barkis, a Washington state House Representative, sponsored a bill in 2021 to protect Down syndrome babies from discriminatory abortions.

Barkis did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. (Read more from “Choosing Violence: Arsonists Firebomb Pro-life Legislator’s Office in Latest Attack” HERE)

Outraged Viewers Bombard Fox News for Segment Promoting Child Gender Experiments

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News viewers, prominent Christians, and conservative pundits publicly bombarded the network Friday, after it aired a glowing news segment promoting a 14-year-old girl named Ryland, whose parents began pushing her to dress like a boy when she was an infant.

“We highlight the story of Ryland Whittington, whose journey of transitioning at age five has been seen by 7 million people in a family YouTube video,” “America’s Newsroom” host Dana Perino began, introducing the segment. “[Correspondent] Bryan Llenas has a story about that family that hopes their experience can help others.” . . .

“Before Ryland could even speak, ‘he’ managed to tell his parents that he is a boy,” Fox News’s Bryan Llenas told viewers. This, he continued, inspired the parents to begin gender experimentation on the child.

Llenas concluded the section by praising the family’s “extraordinary courage” and thanking them for coming on the show, “particularly at a time when transgender issues have been politicized.”
