Psychiatrist: ‘There Is No Gay Gene’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University and former psychiatrist–in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital, who has studied sexuality for 40 years, said it is a scientific fact that “there is no gay gene.”

“Environment,” however, “is very important,” said Dr. McHugh, author of The Mind Has Mountains: Reflections on Society and Psychiatry. He also explained that the permissive sexual culture in the United States today has confused “desire” with “love,” and that homosexuality is a false or “erroneous desire.”

In an interview with Virtue Online: The Voice for Global Orthodox Anglicanism, reporter Lydia Evans asked Dr. McHugh, “How do you view the popular assumption that science has somehow proven that sexual orientation is determined early in childhood, if not before birth?”

Dr. McHugh, who ended the sexual reassignment surgery program at Johns Hopkins because it was not helping the patients, answered, “Well, as I have said, there is no gay gene. And there are factors more influential than biology.”

“The best data, of course, [comes from the Framingham Study],” said Dr. McHugh. “If you are a man and you grow up in a rural environment, you are four times less likely to have homosexual relationships than if you grow up in a metropolitan area. That’s not left-handedness.” (Read more from “Psychiatrist: ‘There Is No Gay Gene'” HERE)

Ted Cruz Withholds Endorsement, Booed, Upstaged by Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ted Cruz sensationally withheld an endorsement of Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, earning a chorus of boos from the floor before he was upstaged by a power play by the GOP nominee himself.

In a dramatic development, as Cruz wrapped up his speech, Trump suddenly appeared in the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, walking to join his family in a VIP area, in a gesture that transmitted clear anger at the Texas senator’s behavior. . .

But as it was clear Cruz was wrapping up his speech without endorsing Trump, delegates began to boo and some chanted “We want Trump!”

. . .As delegates began to protest, Sen. Cruz’s wife, Heidi Cruz, was heckled by Trump supporters shouting “Goldman Sachs!” and escorted out by security. Heidi Cruz, who is an employee of Goldman Sachs, declined to answer questions from reporters, saying “I don’t talk to the media, thanks.”

Jonathan Barnett, a Republican national committeeman from Arkansas, walked off the floor after Cruz’s speech. “He’s self-centered. It’s all about Ted Cruz. All he did is ruin his political career,” Barnett said. “I think he’s finished.” (Read more from story, “Ted Cruz Withholds Endorsement,” HERE)

College Football Star Says He Raped Woman as Payback for ‘400 Years of Slavery’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

I will give you all the money in my pockets right now if this isn’t one of the most racist things you’ve ever read, also the most disgusting, vile, and evil things. A football player violently raped a woman (heinous enough as it is) and justified it thusly: “that’s for 400 years of slavery.”

If your eyes just popped out of your head and rolled across the floor, go pick them up. Dust them off. Put them back in your head. Because no, you didn’t read that wrong. This football player actually used that “justification” for his terrible act.

“Mr. Batey continued to abuse and degrade me, urinating on my face while uttering horrific racial hate speech that suggested I deserved what he was doing to me because of the color of my skin. He didn’t even know who I was” . . .

On Friday, multiple sources confirmed to The Tennessean the statement Batey made. “That’s for 400 years of slavery you b—-,” Batey said, according to the sources.

Thankfully, Corey Batey was sentenced to 15 years of prison in what the judge called “one of the saddest cases that I have ever encountered.” Unfortunately, it’s not under the prison where he belongs. We could spend days describing the place where this monster belongs. Days. I’ll give you a hint as to what I’m thinking: this place involves fire. Lots of fire.

Federal Court Issues Voter ID Ruling That Could Impact Election

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A federal court ruled Wednesday that Texas’ voter identification law violates the U.S. Voting Rights Act prohibition on racial discrimination in elections.

In its 9-6 ruling, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the 2011 voter ID law makes it harder for blacks and Hispanics to vote, and asked a district court to make changes to the law before the general election in November. “The district court must ensure that any remedy enacted ameliorates [the law’s] discriminatory effect, while respecting the legislature’s stated objective to safeguard the integrity of elections by requiring more secure forms of voter identification,” the court said.

The law, Senate Bill 14, requires voters to present proof of identification, including a state driver’s license or ID card, a U.S. passport, an election ID certificate, a military ID card, a concealed handgun license or a U.S citizenship certificate with a photo.

Proponents said it prevents voter fraud, and noted that Texas makes it easy for voters to acquire ID cards free of charge.

In the ruling, however, Judge Catharina Haynes wrote, “The record shows that drafters and proponents of SB 14 were aware of the likely disproportionate effect of the law on minorities, and that they nonetheless passed the bill without adopting a number of proposed ameliorative measures that might have lessened this impact.”

Judges who disagreed with the ruling said, “Requiring a voter to verify her identity with a photo ID at the polling place is a reasonable requirement widely supported by Texans of all races and members of the public belonging to both political parties. The majority ruling ‘fans the flames’ of perniciously irresponsible racial name-calling.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the court had “wrongly concluded” that the law had a discriminatory effect. “Voter fraud is real, and it undermines the integrity of the election process,” he said in a statement.

The Texas Democratic Party, on the other hand, celebrated the ruling. “The most restrictive and discriminatory Republican voter ID law in country has been struck down,” it said. (For more from the author of “Federal Court Issues Voter ID Ruling That Could Impact Election” please click HERE)

Refugees Secretly Flooding Into These States

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Despite more reports in recent weeks about Muslim “refugees” raping and attacking people in the U.S. and Europe, President Obama has ramped up his Syrian refugee program – delivering 625 to U.S. cities in one week and crossing the 6,000 mark for total Syrians who have entered the country since October.

With a little over two months before the Sept. 30 deadline to fulfill his promise to the United Nations to resettle 10,000 Syrians, Obama has delivered 6,227 Syrian migrants to 38 states and dozens of cities.

That means more than 1,000 have arrived just since July 1.

Of the 6,227 total who arrived since Oct. 1, 2015, only 23 have been Christian and 10 Yazidi. All the of the remaining 6,194 Syrians, more than 98 percent, have been Sunni Muslim. That’s the same sect that makes up the ranks of ISIS, al-Nusra Front and other groups that are viciously persecuting Christians in Syria.

Michigan, California, Arizona, Texas and Illinois are the top five states for numbers of Syrian refugees received so far in fiscal 2016. These refugees are hand-selected by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to be permanently resettled in the U.S. (Read more from “Refugees Secretly Flooding Into These States” HERE)

Sean Hannity Puts Claims of Plagiarism Against Melania Trump Into Perspective

/0 Comments/in , , /by

During her Monday appearance at the Republican National Convention, Melania Trump was hailed for delivering an excellent speech in both content and tone.

Shortly after, however, critics began piecing together evidence which they claim is proof Trump plagiarized a speech delivered by Michelle Obama during the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

In particular, critics pointed to two lines in the speech where both Obama and Trump call for hard work, honesty, and treating people with respect.

While some similarities certainly do exist, many have rebuffed these concerns, pointing out the generic words and subject matter used by Trump are insufficient to allege plagiarism.

Ironically, it has also been pointed out that plagiarism is not exactly uncommon in politics, with Democrats engaging in the activity from time to time as well.

Taking to Facebook, Fox News host Sean Hannity posted an informational meme which describes numerous instance of plagiarism from several high ranking Democratic figures, including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and Vice President Joe Biden.

Even more ironic is the allegation that Michelle Obama plagiarized in the very speech Melania Trump has been accused of taking from, yet the media reaction has mostly been inconsistent.

In the case of Trump, the debacle has been talked about frequently by media pundits — spanning from late Monday evening all the way through Tuesday — and is unlikely to die down any time soon.

On the other hand, there was little to no outrage against Obama for her own supposed use of plagiarism.

While it is not yet clear whether these allegations will negatively impact the Trump campaign, Republicans have already begun calling on the media to focus on issues of substance.

POOR, INNOCENT, NAIVE SHEPARD SMITH: Completely Clueless as to Why Cops Are Being Slaughtered

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In the wake of another horrific ambush of police officers earlier today in Baton Rouge, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith was actually arguing with the Governor of Louisiana a few minutes ago.

He was saying, in essence, that no one has a clue as to how to stop this madness.

I beg to differ, Shmuckard, I mean, Shepard. How about electing a President who actually treats people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin? Who waits until facts emerge before opining on law enforcement issues?

The President of the Cleveland Police Union put it bluntly today, stating that “President Obama has blood on his hands.”

Detective Steve Loomis, President of the Cleveland Police Union, was interviewed on Sunday on Fox News. He described the situation that began with Alton Sterling. The president of the United States validated the nonsense and false narrative that the Black Lives Matter and the media spewed with his divisiveness, he said.

The detective called for someone to put an end to this.

It’s “insane” that a governor of Minnesota and a president of the United States made the statements they made one day after the police-involved shootings, the union chief said. They absolutely and directly triggered these senseless murders of law enforcement officers throughout this country. “It’s reprehensible”, he added.

They have politicized the false narrative and the president has “blood on his hands” and it “will not be washed off”, Officer Loomis said.

Officer Loomis wants to know how police officers became the bad guys. We have celebrities and athletes spewing venom at them.

A false narrative has been handed down from the White House all the way down the offices of government to inflame racial tension.

From the New Black Panther voter intimidation case, to “the police acted stupidly”, to calling America “a nation of cowards”, this president and his administration have done their very best to sow racial division, discord, and civil unrest.

All is proceeding as they have planned. (For more from the author of “POOR, INNOCENT, NAIVE SHEPARD SMITH: Completely Clueless as to Why Cops Are Being Slaughtered” please click HERE)

Melania Trump’s Cleveland RNC Speech Draws Praise, Controversy

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Ali Vitali. In a rare public-speaking appearance, Melania Trump made the case for her husband on the first night of his convention.

Her speech displayed Trump’s softer side, oft shielded and secret from the press that constantly follow him. And while her words did little to add to the image of the brash billionaire poised to officially become the Republican standard bearer, Monday’s speech painted a more vivid picture of the woman who stands by the that billionaire’s side.

Calling Trump determined and speaking about his perseverance in business, Melania’s vision of her husband added no new characteristics to the man who has dominated the 2016 presidential election with his off the cuff campaign style and say-anything reputation . . .

Where Trump still has the occasional barb for his former rivals, Melania shared praise for them — saying Monday “they deserve respect and gratitude from all of us.”

While Trump still grapples publicly with the finer tenets of his controversial Muslim ban, Melania’s speech was a rhetorical outreach to all religions and races on behalf of her husband. (Read more from “Melania Trump’s Cleveland RNC Speech Draws Praise, Controversy” HERE)

Some of Melania Trump’s Speech at GOP Convention Similar to Michelle Obama Remarks

By Fox News. Melania Trump’s speech Monday to the Republican National Convention on Monday has come under fire as it appears that two of the passages are strikingly similar to the speech first lady Michelle Obama gave in 2008 at the Democratic National Convention.

The passages in question focus on lessons that Melania Trump, the wife of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, said she learned from her parents and the relevance of their lessons in her experience as a mother.

The remarks came toward the beginning of her speech, which was otherwise distinct from the address that Michelle Obama gave when her husband, then-Sen. Barack Obama, was being nominated for president.

“From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life,” Melania Trump said in her speech in Cleveland.

In Michelle Obama’s 2008 speech in Denver, she said: “And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: like, you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you’re going to do, that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them and even if you don’t agree with them.” (Read more from “Some of Melania Trump’s Speech at GOP Convention Similar to Michelle Obama Remarks” HERE)

CNN: Melania Trump’s speech plagiarizes parts of Michelle Obama’s

At least one passage in Melania Trump’s speech Monday night at the Republican National Convention plagiarized from Michelle Obama’s address to the Democratic National Convention in 2008.

Side-by-side comparisons of the transcripts show the text in Trump’s address following, nearly to the word, the first lady’s own from the first night of the Democratic convention in Denver nearly eight years ago.

The controversy quickly overshadowed the speech, which was to have been her introduction to voters. It focused on her immigration to the US and her love for her husband. (Read more about Mrs. Trump’s Cleveland RNC Speech HERE)

Fox News Sex Scandal Blows up BIG TIME

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The three Murdoch family members at the top of 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox News, are in agreement that Roger Ailes, the company chief who has been hit with sex harassment claims, should go, a report says.

New York Magazine on Monday reported Rupert Murdoch and Lachlan Murdoch, co-chairmen of the company, and James Murdoch, CEO, are working out how to remove the 76-year-old, according to two sources.

A New York law firm was tasked by the organization with investigating the claims against Ailes, and “after reviewing the initial findings … James Murdoch is said to be arguing that Ailes should be presented with a choice this week to resign or face being fired.”

The report said the other two want to wait until the GOP convention in Cleveland is over this week, the report said.

The magazine report said the investigation was sparked by former news anchor Gretchen Carlson’s lawsuit against Ailes, but has since been expanded. (Read more from “Fox News Sex Scandal Blows up BIG TIME” HERE)
