First Major Medical Group Opposes Sex Mutilating Surgeries for Minors

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) issued a position statement on Tuesday advising against sex change surgeries for minors.

The position statement went to the group’s 11,000 members, recommending that surgeons delay transgender-related chest, genital, and facial surgeries until a patient is at least 19 years old. The ASPS is the first major medical organization in the U.S. to reject transgender activists’ ideological push to mutilate young people without sufficient evidence. . .

ASPS pointed to a rollback on sex changes for minors in Europe, as well as a comprehensive review from the Department of Health and Human Services, the 2024 Cass Review in Britain, and other research indicating “limitations in study quality, consistency … alongside emerging evidence of treatment complications and potential harms”:

Available evidence suggests that a substantial proportion of children with prepubertal onset gender dysphoria experience resolution or significant reduction of distress by the time they reach adulthood, absent medical or surgical intervention. Evidence regarding adolescent-onset presentation, which has become increasingly common since the mid-2010s, is more limited but similarly does not allow for confident prediction of long-term trajectories. Importantly, clinicians, even those with extensive experience, currently lack reliable methods to distinguish those whose distress will persist from those whose distress will remit.

The HHS report underscores that this uncertainty has significant ethical implications: when the likelihood of spontaneous resolution is unknown and when irreversible interventions carry known and plausible risks, adhering to the principles of beneficence and non-malficence (i.e. promoting health and well-being while avoiding harm) requires a precautionary approach.

Melinda Gates: Ex-Husband Bill Gates ‘Needs to Answer’ Horrific Epstein Allegations

Melinda Gates reacted to the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails involving her ex-husband Bill Gates, including horrific allegations Epstein made such that Bill was attempting to dose her with antibiotics to fight an STD without her knowledge, by saying Bill and other Epstein associates “need to answer to those things.”

“I think we’re having a reckoning as a society,” Melinda Gates told NPR’s Wild Card podcast host Rachel Martin on Tuesday. “No girl should ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein and whatever was going on with all of the various people around him.”

Watch Below:

“It’s beyond heartbreaking. I remember being those ages those girls were, I remember my daughters being those ages,” she added.

Melinda Gates, who has two daughters and a son with the Microsoft co-founder, went on to say, “So, for me, it’s personally hard whenever those details come up, because it brings back memories of some very, very painful times in my marriage, but I have moved on from that.”

“I purposely pushed it away and I moved on,” the philanthropist — who divorced Bill Gates in 2021 — continued. “I’m in a really unexpected, beautiful place in my life.” (Read more from “Melinda Gates: Ex-Husband Bill Gates ‘Needs to Answer’ Horrific Epstein Allegations” HERE)

Poll: Likely 2026 Midterm Voters Support Deporting Illegal Aliens By 2:1 Margin

Nearly two-thirds of likely 2026 midterm election voters support deporting illegal aliens from the United States, a new poll released Monday shows.

In its latest survey of 1,004 likely 2026 voters, the political polling firm Cygnal found that respondents support removing illegal aliens from America and sending them back to their country of origin by a nearly 2:1 margin (61 to 34 percent). The poll also found strong support for ICE enforcement of federal immigration laws and agreement that illegally entering the United States is a violation of such laws.

“Voters see illegal immigration as a simple question of law and order,” Cygnal Founder and CEO Brent Buchanan said in a statement. “The data leaves no wiggle room. Americans want the law enforced, they want illegal immigrants removed, and they punish politicians who try to block ICE from doing its job.”

The survey was conducted from Jan. 27 to Jan. 28 and has a margin of error of 3.09 percent.

According to the Cygnal data, 73 percent of respondents agreed when asked if “individuals who have entered the United States without legal permission have broken the law,” compared with 22 percent who disagreed. The survey furthermore found that a majority (54 percent) support ICE “enforcing federal immigration laws to remove illegal immigrants from the U.S.” and oppose (58 percent) efforts to defund the agency — including majorities of swing voters.

FBI Memo Says Israel ‘Compromised’ Trump, Epstein Had Mossad Ties

A declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.

The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein worked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office.

The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.

“CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency,” the memo states regarding his first term.

Chabad-Lubavitch, a religious Jewish sect founded in Russia, has grown to an estimated 90,000 members. Its messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology has repeatedly been linked to hardline settler colonial politics in Palestine. . .

It identifies Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as a supporter of the group and a key force within Trump’s inner circle. (Read more from “FBI Memo Says Israel ‘Compromised’ Trump, Epstein Had Mossad Ties” HERE)

Democrat Wins Deep-Red State Senate Seat In Landslide, Major Upset

Democratic Texas Senate candidate Taylor Rehmet defeated Trump-endorsed Republican Leigh Wambsganss in a Saturday special election for a seat the president won by double digits three times, multiple outlets project.

Rehmet, a union leader and Air Force veteran, won 57.2% of the vote compared to Wambsganss’s 42.8%, with 95% of the vote in, according to The Associated Press (AP). Texas Senate District 9 — which is entirely based in Tarrant County and includes parts of Fort Worth and Arlington — was last represented by former Republican State Sen. Kelly Hancock who resigned in June 2025 to work for the Texas Comptroller’s Office.

Under its current boundaries, District 9 voted for Trump by 17 percentage points in 2024, 13 points in 2020, and 23 points in 2016, according to data from Dave’s Redistricting App (DRA).

Rehmet’s campaign website describes him as a “a union president, veteran, and working-class Texan running for State Senate to fight for public schools, affordable housing, and real results for everyday people.”

Meanwhile, Wambsganss received a last-minute endorsement from Trump. (Read more from “Democrat Wins Deep-Red State Senate Seat In Landslide, Major Upset” HERE)

Police Union Tells Socialist Mayor To Pound Sand Over Anti-ICE Order

The president of the union representing Seattle police officers said Friday he would not let his members implement what he called a “ludicrous” proposal from Democratic Mayor Katie Wilson of Seattle.

Wilson issued orders to local police, directing them to “investigate, verify, and document” activity by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for potential prosecution, similar to directives issued by Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Fox 13 Seattle reported. Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) President Mike Solan responded to Wilson’s order with a post on X Friday.

“Toothless virtue signaling rhetoric like this has already cost two people their lives,” Solan posted on the SPOG X account, referencing the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area during immigration enforcement operations. “The concept of pitting two armed law enforcement agencies against each other is ludicrous, and will not happen. I will not allow SPOG members to be used as political pawns.”

Citizen journalists began probing Somali-run day care centers in Washington state after independent journalist Nick Shirley posted a 42-minute video that went viral showing him visiting Somali-run day-care centers in the Minneapolis area, propelling the issue of welfare fraud into the public eye. Initial reports of fraud in Minnesota by City Journal in November prompted the Department of Homeland Security to deploy hundreds of agents from multiple agencies to the Minneapolis area.

Longevity Expert Peter Attia Set Meeting With Jeffrey Epstein While His Infant Son Fought for His Life in Hospital

Newly named CBS News star contributor Peter Attia made plans to hang out with convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein as his wife pleaded with him to come see their infant son in the hospital after the tiny boy stopped breathing, according to the anti-aging influencer’s own words.

In his book, “Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity,” Attia, 52, recounted the harrowing moment he received a call from his wife, Jill, telling him that his son, Ayrton, had suddenly stopped breathing on the evening of July 11, 2017.

“I stayed in New York, busy with my ‘important’ work,” he admitted in the book. “Ayrton’s cardiac arrest happened on a Tuesday, but I did not come home to San Diego until Friday of the following week. Ten days later.”

What Attia failed to mention, however, was that during this harrowing time, he was making plans to meet up with Epstein, the disgraced New York financier who was already embroiled at the time with allegations of trafficking minors, according to newly released emails between the two.

Attia confessed to feeling guilty about his decision, describing himself as a “blind, selfish, checked-out husband and father” who would likely never forgive himself for ignoring his family. . .

Just a day after speaking with his wife about their ailing son, Attia made plans to meet with Epstein on July 13 — even offering to change his own schedule to make the convicted sex offender’s day easier.

JFK Assassination Film Held by Feds Could Be Worth $900M — and Could Prove 2nd Shooter on ‘Grassy Knoll’

A 62-year-old home movie could blow the JFK assassination wide open — and prove once and for all there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll that fateful day.

The grainy 8mm footage, captured by Dallas air conditioner repairman Orville Nix as bullets ripped through Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963, hasn’t been seen since 1978, when it was sent away for analysis by an LA company and later fell under federal ownership – although the feds claim they don’t have it.

Nix died in 1972, and his granddaughter picked up from her late dad the legal war to recover his film — which she’s convinced is worth more than $900 million as it may hold the key to exposing one of history’s biggest coverups.

Now a federal judge has ruled that the battle over the film can go forward — and the footage might finally see the light of day.

Unlike the famous Zapruder film showing the moment President Kennedy was shot in the head, Nix’s camera was pointed at the infamous grassy knoll — the exact spot where many witnesses thought shots originated. Conspiracy theorists have long believed a second gunman was hiding behind a fence on the knoll.

Resurfaced 3,300-Year-Old Egyptian Document Hints at Biblical Giants Being Real

Historians are scratching their heads at a resurfaced Egyptian scroll held by the British Museum that might support the claim that biblical giants were, in fact, real.

Genesis chapter 6 of the Bible is about God’s response to the widespread human “wickedness” and corruptness, which was supposedly caused by Nephilim, powerful beings that were the sons of “fallen angels” and human women.

It was these sons who were described as giant beings and referred to as “men of reknown” that caused widespread chaos which prompted God to cleanse the earth by “destroying all creatures under the sky” with “flood waters.”

Fast forward to now, Anastasi I, a 3,300-year-old document that’s been in the British Museum since 1839 and has reignited the interest of the Associates for Biblical Research, a religious organization in Pennsylvania, has historians and researchers believing that these “men of reknown” giants may have actually been real.

The ancient document, that is believed to be from the 13th century, BCE, mentions run ins with the Shosu people, who were supposedly eight feet tall, which scared Israelites, as originally reported by the Daily Mail.

To connect the dots that Anastasi I is proof beyond what is said in the Bible that giants existed, Numbers 13:33, a verse from the Old Testament, also hints at Israelites coming across these large figures, “And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” (Read more from “Resurfaced 3,300-Year-Old Egyptian Document Hints at Biblical Giants Being Real” HERE)

Trump: India Agrees to Stop Buying Russian Oil, Enter Trade Deal with U.S.

Trump revealed the developments in a Truth Social post on Monday and called Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi one of his “greatest friends” after speaking with him in the morning.

“We spoke about many things, including Trade, and ending the War with Russia and Ukraine. He agreed to stop buying Russian Oil, and to buy much more from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela,” Trump wrote.

“This will help END THE WAR in Ukraine, which is taking place right now, with thousands of people dying each and every week!” he added.
