Parents Fume After Trans-Identifying Boy Wins Regional Dancing Competition, Heads to World Championship: Report

A teenage boy who identifies as transgender reportedly took first place this past weekend in the under-14 category at the 2023 Southern Region Oireachtas Irish dancing competition in Dallas, Texas, ultimately displacing a girl for a spot in the Irish Dancing World Championships.

As rules are changed to adhere to radical Left-wing gender theory, biological male athletes who identify as female have been able to infiltrate girls and women’s spaces and sports.

“My daughter was in absolute tears,” one mother of a girl who competed against the male told Daily Signal reporter Mary Margaret Olohan. “She was like, ‘This is so unfair.’ I totally agree.”

“Oh, my gosh. It’s going to make me cry,” another parent said. “I never thought I was going to have to deal with this. And my heart breaks for my daughter and the other girls that are having to deal with this. They are too young to have to deal with topics that are going on in society, that are adult topics, that they don’t quite comprehend yet.”

“They just look at it as unfair,” the mother added. “And it’s really hard to explain to them what’s going on and why they have to accept it. That’s what society’s making them do. As a mom, I want to be an advocate for my daughter. But at the same time, I have to protect my family.” (Read more from “Parents Fume After Trans-Identifying Boy Wins Regional Dancing Competition, Heads to World Championship: Report” HERE)

White House Reveals Whether Joe Biden Will Pardon Son Hunter in Light of New Charges

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre revealed Friday whether President Joe Biden will pardon Hunter Biden in the wake of fresh criminal charges being filed against him.

Jean-Pierre spoke to reporters on Air Force One and briefly addressed the nine new tax charges leveled onto Hunter Biden by a California grand jury Thursday.

“The president has said this before, and he will continue to say, which is that he loves his son and supports him as he continues to rebuild his life. I’m going to be really careful and not comment on this and refer you to Department of Justice or my colleagues at the White House counsel,” Jean-Pierre said.

“I’m not gonna go beyond telling you all what the president has said over and over again. He’s proud of his son,” she added. (Read more from “White House Reveals Whether Joe Biden Will Pardon Son Hunter in Light of New Charges” HERE)

Prosecutors Warn of Prison Sentences for Trump, Top Allies

Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis and her team of prosecutors want prison sentences for Donald Trump and his top allies, previously unreported emails reveal.

The emails, first reported by the Guardian, reveal deepening hostilities between prosecutors and defendants in the monumental Georgia criminal case against Trump and his top allies.

“We have a long road ahead,” Willis wrote in a previously unreported email last month to Trump’s attorneys. “Long after these folks are in jail, we will still be practicing law.”

Willis and her team allege Trump and codefendants violated the racketeering statute as part of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. A handful of defendants, including Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, have flipped on Trump, presumably to avoid long prison sentences of their own.

Trump’s allies argue the case is politically motivated “lawfare,” and Trump maintains he has done nothing wrong. (Read more from “Prosecutors Warn of Prison Sentences for Trump, Top Allies” HERE)

Hunter Biden Indicted on Nine Charges, Including Felonies

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is indicted on nine charges, including three felonies, related to tax evasion, failure to file taxes, and submitting fraudulent tax returns. The 56-page indictment, filed in a federal court in Los Angeles, alleges that Hunter Biden engaged in a four-year scheme to evade taxes totaling at least $1.4 million for the tax years 2016 through 2019.

The charges, brought by Special Counsel David Weiss and assigned to Judge Mark Scarsi, claim that Hunter Biden spent millions on an extravagant lifestyle instead of fulfilling his tax obligations. The indictment accuses him of willfully failing to pay taxes for the specified years, despite having access to funds to cover these liabilities.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss as special counsel in August to oversee the investigation into Hunter Biden. The Justice Department stated that if convicted, Hunter Biden could face a maximum of 17 years in prison.

The case originated from Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings, particularly his involvement with Ukrainian energy company Burisma and a Chinese private equity fund. Despite a plea deal falling apart in July, the new tax case brings to light allegations of false business deductions and manipulation of the payroll and tax withholding process within Hunter Biden’s company.

The indictment of Hunter Biden on nine charges, including three felonies, represents a significant development in the ongoing investigation into his financial activities. As the legal proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen how this situation will impact the broader political landscape and the Biden administration.

Study Confirms Body Mutilations Are ‘No Cure’ for Mental Health Issues

A new study shows that people who experience gender dysphoria cannot expect various mental health issues to disappear by having gender reassignment surgery, according to a report in the Washington Stand. . .

The study noted that those with gender dysphoria “present with many more common psychiatric needs” than a population in general, “even when medical GR [gender-reassignment] interventions are carried out.” . . .

The study reviewed cases of more than 3,600 people who reached out to “nationally centralized gender identity services” in Finland from 1996 to 2019, and found 38.4% got cross-sex hormones or surgical “reassignment.”

Then researchers lined up eight other people “of the same sex, age, and place birth,” resulting in a control population of nearly 30,000.

Comparing the groups, the authors found “a much higher risk that a person with gender dysphoria will need ‘specialist-level psychiatric treatment’ (most often for mood disorders and anxiety) than their age-matched controls, and that they will receive more care after entering the system,” the report noted.

Research Reveals Critical Shortage of Life-Saving Medicines

The medical profession around the globe has been focused over the last few flu seasons on COVID and its after-effects. . .

But that focus has come with a cost: that some medicines now are hard to find, delayed and worse, unavailable.

A report in the Daily Mail explains that shortages now are being noticed for meds used against blood cancers, pneumonia and even mental illness.

“One notable medicine in short supply is the antibiotic amoxicillin; used to treat bacterial infections, including the bacterial infection partly driving the so-called ‘white lung’ outbreak in Ohio and China,” the report said.

Official figures obtained by the research found the number of medications in short supply was up 30% from 2021 to 2022, hitting a five-year high of 295. (Read more from “Research Reveals Critical Shortage of Life-Saving Medicines” HERE)

Report: Here’s Who Melania Wants Trump to Pick for VP

Melania Trump is pushing for her husband to pick Tucker Carlson as his 2024 running mate if he secures the Republican nomination for president, according to a report.

The former first lady believes the ex-Fox News host would be a “powerful onstage extension” of her husband, former President Donald Trump, according to Axios.

But there is stiff competition, as Trump, 77, is also considering more politically experienced candidates for the No. 2 post — such as Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Reps. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), according to the outlet.

Kari Lake, who lost her 2022 bid to be Arizona’s Republican governor and is now running for US Senate in the state, is also among the “loyalist”-types that Trump is reportedly considering for vice president.

Despite being Melania’s preferred choice, the former president’s staff and people close to him reportedly fear that Carlson would “outshine” Donald Trump and that the talk show host “can’t be controlled,” according to Axios.

Republican Proposes New Bill to Protect Children From Porn

In a bid to shield children from explicit content on the internet, Tennessee Republican Rep. Patsy Hazlewood has introduced the “Protect Tennessee Minors Act.” The legislation aims to compel online pornography distributors to implement age verification measures, mirroring similar laws enacted in states like Virginia and Utah.

Rep. Hazlewood, Chair of the House Finance, Ways, and Means Committee, emphasized the bill’s goal of equating safeguards in the online realm with those already established in the physical world. She asserted that exposing children to pornography constitutes a form of child sexual abuse and exploitation, with severe potential impacts on intellectual development and emotional well-being.

The proposed legislation proposes a stringent approach, requiring companies to match a user’s photograph with a valid U.S. photo ID. Failure to implement age verification could result in serious consequences, with websites facing a Class C felony charge, carrying penalties of up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Similar laws in Virginia and Utah prompted Pornhub to restrict access to its site for users in those states. Hazlewood’s bill reflects a broader societal concern, with Tennessee tech industry executive Jacob Levy stating, “My top priority is the safety and health of my children. Pornography is a societal disaster. Modernizing existing laws to require age verification will protect children from it and help the internet stay digital, not degenerate.”

This initiative aligns with a resolution passed by Tennessee lawmakers in 2017, designating pornography as a public health hazard. The resolution highlighted the detrimental effects of pornography, depicting women and children as objects and contributing to the normalization of violence.

House Republicans Secure Ban on Defense Department Funding ‘Disinformation’ Industry

House Republicans have secured a provision in the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act that prohibits the Department of Defense from contracting with disinformation companies such as NewsGuard, arguing that the Pentagon should not be engaged in censorship of domestic news outlets.

The House Armed Services Committee agreed to strip many provisions of its version in negotiations with its Democrat-controlled counterpart in the Senate, but the provision targeting government funding of censorship technology remained in the final legislation, which will likely receive a vote as soon as next week.

“I am proud that House Republicans successfully fought for a provision in the FY24 NDAA that ends the far-Left’s attacks on conservative outlets,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. “We will continue to defend freedom of speech against the Biden administration’s far-left overreach.”

The NDAA must pass every year to fund the military, and has become a vessel for legislation that would otherwise stand no chance to pass as a stand-alone bill. Other provisions that failed to make it into the final version include bans on the Pentagon funding drag shows and so-called “gender-affirming health care” for transgender-identifying service members.

Plane Flies Over Harvard Campus Reading ‘Harvard Hates Jews’

A plane flew over Harvard University’s campus Thursday with a banner reading “Harvard Hates Jews,” according to multiple sources on social media.

Harvard University President Claudine Gay spoke at a hearing Tuesday and refused to say if students would be disciplined for genocidal speech and backtracked Wednesday from her statement following backlash from prominent figures and the White House. Following a rise in anti-Israel activities on campus, a truck drove around Harvard University a multitude of times that showed the faces of students who signed an anti-Israel letter.

The Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee called the plane “racist weaponization” and said the phrase “Harvard Hates Jews” is a “right wing slogan,” according to a tweet.
