Finally, Some Sanity: Trump Admin, RFK Jr. Slam the Brakes on Child Mutilation Nationwide

The Trump administration is dropping the hammer on the barbaric practice of child gender transitions [aka genital mutilations] across America. On Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services, led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., rolled out sweeping proposals that would yank Medicare and Medicaid funding from any hospital daring to perform these irreversible procedures on kids, whether it's pumping them full of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or going under the knife.

This comes hot on the heels of President Trump's early second-term executive order reversing Biden's radical trans agenda. As Trump put it: "my Administration will defend women's rights and protect freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically male."

RFK Jr. signed off on a declaration backed by peer-reviewed evidence stating that "these procedures do not meet professionally recognized standards of health care." He went further, blasting the practitioners pushing this on minors as being "out of compliance" with basic medical standards.

"The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, peddled the lie that chemical and surgical sex rejecting procedures could be good for children who suffer from gender dysphoria," Kennedy said. And just a day earlier, the House passed legislation to outright criminalize these irreversible child transitions.

"They betrayed the estimated 300,000 American youth, ages 13 to 17, conditioned to believe that sex can be changed, they betrayed their Hippocratic oath to do no harm. So called gender affirming care has inflicted lasting physical and psychological damage on vulnerable young people. This is not medicine. It is malpractice we're done with junk science driven by ideological pursuits, not the well being of children."

This is a massive win for anyone grounded in biological reality: no one can actually switch sexes. 

The whole push for child transitions is about making confused kids "pass" better as adults through puberty blockers to halt natural development, followed by opposite-sex hormones that trigger things like beard growth and voice deepening in girls, or stunted height and breast development in boys. The results turn out to be sterility, brittle bones, cognitive issues, atrophy, reduced genital function, and permanent damage.

Now, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is set to propose rules barring hospitals from these "sex-rejecting procedures" on anyone under 18 as a condition for federal funding. "Nearly all U.S. hospitals participate in Medicare and Medicaid and this action is designed to ensure that the U.S. government will not be in business with organizations that intentionally or unintentionally inflict permanent harm on children," HHS declared, citing clear authority under the Social Security Act to safeguard patient health.

On top of that, the FDA is firing off warnings to companies peddling chest binders to girls, devices that crush lungs and cause lasting damage, meant for post-mastectomy recovery, not hiding healthy development in kids chasing dysphoria.

HHS is also scrubbing gender dysphoria from the Biden-era disability list. 

"The rule would reassure recipients of HHS funding that policies preventing or limiting sex-rejecting procedures do not violate Section 504's disability nondiscrimination requirements," the department noted."Assistant Secretary of Health, Admiral Brian Christine, today, signed a public health message to inform health care providers, families and policy makers that current evidence does not support claims that puberty blockers cross sex hormones and surgeries are safe and effective treatments for pediatric gender dysphoria," Kennedy said.

"These announcements are grounded in evidence and shaped by compassion. President Trump has made Child Protection a national priority. ... sex rejecting procedures rob children of their futures. ... today's revenue for sex rejecting drugs and surgeries in 2023 were estimated in one study to exceed $4.4 billion and on track to exceed 7.8 billion by 2030."

About time someone called out this ideologically driven madness for what it is: child abuse disguised as "care." The left's grip on medicine is cracking, and kids might actually have a shot at growing up intact.

The fact is, a huge number of kids with gender confusion, or gender dysphoria, actually grow out of it in late adolescence. I asked Grok this question and here is the answer I got in part: 

Evidence from multiple longitudinal studies indicates that a majority of prepubertal children diagnosed with gender dysphoria (or earlier equivalents like gender identity disorder) who receive no medical or social transition interventions typically resolve their dysphoria by or after puberty, aligning with their birth sex.

Key Findings from Older Longitudinal Studies:

Older clinic-based follow-up studies (primarily from the 2000s–2010s, using DSM-IV criteria) consistently reported desistance rates (resolution of dysphoria) of 60–90%:A 2008 study of 77 children found 57% desisted by age 16+.

A 2013 Dutch study of 127 children reported 63% desistance.

A 2021 follow-up of boys with childhood gender concerns showed high desistance rates, often leading to gay or bisexual outcomes without dysphoria.

So it looks like Kennedy and the Trump administration has the best interest of our future generation in mind. What do you think? Feel free to comment.

Bioethicist of NIH fired, mainly because she's Dr. Fauci's wife slated to decide whether he is ethical

Christine Grady is a bioethicist at the National Institutes of Health. Her job is to analyze ethical issues in healthcare, medicine, and biological research. She also happens to be the wife of Dr. Anthony Fauci and would have been the person who decides whether his behavior regarding his COVID-19 recommendations and personal involvement with China was ethical.

Grady recently lost her position under the leadership of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. which now signals new priorities with how things are going to get done. 

In the past, Grady supported firing nurses who declined the Covid vaccine, and now she apparently is receiving the same treatment she once supported.

Earlier this week, Grady was included in the mass layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of RFK Jr.'s more extensive overhaul at the NIH. The point of the layoffs is to move the institute’s focus away from pandemic preparedness and toward more pressing issues. 

She was reportedly offered a reassignment to regional offices of the Indian Health Service, which serves American Indians and Alaska Natives, but declined the opportunity, possibly to raise a public issue with the administration.

An NIH official told the Daily Caller News Foundation that Grady was “a good person with a major conflict of interest.” Gee, ya think?

“One of the problems when the coverup was going on of the Wuhan lab leak, that whole fiasco, was that they were not listening to anyone giving ethics advice,” the anonymous official said. “If they had had someone at the table with knowledge of this, they would have said: ‘Hey, do you want to play it this way, or be more transparent?’ Someone could have raised the question.”

The official stated that Grady was restricted from performing specific duties due to her marriage to Fauci.

Fauci and Grady's combined net worth exceeded $11 million, with an increase of over $7 million since the onset of the pandemic for some strange reason. 

This week’s layoffs impacted at least 10,000 individuals.

"I pour my heart into these posts, and if they’ve sparked something for you, I’d be thrilled if you’d treat me to a coffee over at Buy Me a Coffee – totally optional, of course!"

Kamala scandal worsens

It seems fairly obvious that Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party's best prospect to run the most powerful nation on the planet, plagiarized information in her 2009 book, "Smart on Crime." Christopher Rufo exposed Harris and how she lifted sections from Wikipedia without using quotes or crediting her sources.

So while it seemed as if the pooh hit the proverbial fan after getting caught, there was more pooh to follow. As it turns out, she also used Martin Luther King Jr.'s words in that book.

"She appears to rip-off Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King in an anecdote from her childhood during the civil rights movement," The Telegraph reports. Thus, Harris has now been accused of plagiarizing King in the book she "wrote" to advance her political career.

Insofar as the plagiarism assertion, she is accused of copying over a dozen sections of "Smart on Crime: a career prosecutor's plan to make us safer." And now the rip-off of Dr. King in an anecdote from her childhood during the civil rights movement.

“My mother used to laugh when she told the story about a time I was fussing as a toddler: She leaned down to ask me, “Kamala, what’s wrong? What do you want?” and I wailed back, “Fweedom,” the liar wrote. 

This story is too similar to King's as the New York Post and other media outlets noted.

“I will never forget a moment in Birmingham when a white policeman accosted a little Negro girl, seven or eight years old, who was walking in a demonstration with her mother,” King told Playboy magazine in 1965.

“‘What do you want?’ the policeman asked her gruffly, and the little girl looked at him straight in the eye and answered, ‘Fee-dom.’”

So Harris not only ripped King off for her book, she used the same line in Elle Magazine on Oct. 6, 2020.

Michael Cohen says Trump will use SEAL Team Six to practically take over the world

Michael  Cohen, former President Donald Trump's former lawyer and former prison inmate, has made a bold and frightening prediction. If this doesn't scare the bejeezus out of you, then sir or madame, you are one tough customer.

Michael Cohen, the man who had the wisdom to turn on his former boss [not Bubba from the exercise yard in the slammer, but Trump] after getting caught arranging payments to silence women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump during the 2016 presidential election campaign, and have pleaded guilty to five counts of tax evasion failing to report over $4 million in income; and making false statements to a bank, and lying to Congress, and thus serving "three in the can," says that if Trump should win the upcoming presidential election, he will call in SEAL Team Six to round up his political opponents.

And then, who knows what he will have them do to those who have turned on him. Firing squad at dawn? Quiet disappearance? Something in the coffee that tastes like almonds but it isn't almonds at all?

Cohen isn't alone in this doomsday prognosticating. New Jersey congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. believes--or at least he says he believes--that if Donald J. Trump is reelected, it will be the end of democracy, nay, civilization, as we know it. He will seize full power, there will be tanks on the streets, and chaos will ensue under a military dictatorship.

Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. 

Cohen's prediction comes a week after he said he would change his name [perhaps to Matty Cohen?] and flee the country if Trump is elected in November.

One person responded to Cohen's promise to flee the country with this tweet:

Sorry, but I don't recall the last time Michael Cohen said something that was true. At this point, I doubt that's his real name.— Jellenne 🇺🇸🌵🌞 (@jellen805) October 7, 2024

Trump was already President and had the power to attempt a takeover. He didn't, and even if a U.S. president attempted a takeover, it would never happen. Does anyone really believe the entire U.S. military and law enforcement would stand behind one person attempting a coup?

The only thing we experienced during Trump's first term was a better economy, no new wars, the decrease in illegal migration, more jobs, and greater law and order. Trump's biggest nemesis was the pandemic and he could have called for crazy measures like those called for by his replacement and the Democratic Party in general. But he didn't. 

If Trump wins in November, things will get better because he already showed us that it can. It's total bull crap to say that he would put tanks in the streets or dispatch SEAL Team Six. 

Sure the Left is scared if he wins because they know they tried to get rid of him, one way or another. And this kind of rhetoric only encourages lunatics on the Left to take action to stop Trump 'by any means necessary.'

First US trans legislator ['she-he-it'] busted for child porn

Stacie Marie Laughton: a dude who looks more like a child predator than a woman

She-he-it was a proud, prideful, prominent, person of victim status with high intersectional creds. She-he-it soared above the rest in a brave and stunning bid for State Legislature in New Hampshire in 2012. She-he-it was a trailblazer in high-heels, falsies [symbolizing his mental status] and the will to win. And that she-he-it did. 

She-he-it's motto in life is "if you believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything, and get away with it."

Stacie Marie Laughton, 39, was forced to resign from elected office twice, but that didn't stop this transgender pioneer from saying, "Screw it; I'm going to give it another go. Maybe this time, they won't notice."

So like good woke voters, the leftists of New Hampshire voted Laughton into office yet again, because voting woke makes you a better person than those people who vote Republican, and voting for a deranged Democrat is the only way to go.

Laughton [born Barry Charles Laughton, Jr.] is the first transgender-identifying state lawmaker and is also the first transgender-identifying state legislator to get arrested and charged for allegedly distributing child pornography. 

The man in a dress is facing four counts of distributing sexually explicit photos of children. And if you think he looks like a woman, you've got to be from New Hampshire and vote woke, because this guy looks more like a guy than Chuck Norris. [Okay, the Chuck Norris thing was a stretch, but you can see he's a guy.]

Former state Rep. Stacie Marie Laughton of Derry, the first openly transgender person elected to the N.H. House of Representatives, was arrested Thursday by Nashua police on charges alleging distribution of child sexual abuse images, officials said. https://t.co/PvICV9bGnm

There is no question he's a guy but there are other issues that hint at his instability, starting with his arrest record.

In 2008, she-he-it was convicted of credit card felony, according to the New Hampshire Union-Leader. When he was elected in 2012, the LGBT community became enthralled with the man.

“I believe that at this point, the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community will hopefully be inspired,” Laughton said at the time. “My hope is that now maybe we’ll see more people in the community running, maybe for alderman. Maybe in the next election, we’ll have a senator.” Because their mental disorder matters.

Shortly after the election, Laughton stepped down after the credit card fraud allegations came to light. Laughton was later sentenced to six months in jail after reporting a bomb threat to a hospital in 2015. In July 2021, she-he-it was arrested for giving police false information.

But the past November, Laughton won the election to the state house and again had to resign after being accused of stalking, a charge she-he-it experienced on two prior occasions in 2022, including an incident in September months before the election. 

However, New Hampshire still loved she-he-it even though Laughton is a felon and had been busted for crazy behavior and lying to police. So they voted him back into the state legislature because hey, there's nothing to see here, right?

“I’m alive, I’m safe, I’m well,” the felon said in a Facebook video at the time, announcing she-he-it was leaving politics. “I’m not suicidal, and just trying to get by every day with what I’ve been dealt. I don’t know what the future holds but I do know this — there’s a lot of good opportunities out there for me to serve, and a lot of good opportunities for me to still stay connected with everyone and I plan to do that.”

One might not be able to predict that Laughton was a child predator, in addition to being mentally unhinged, but it's obvious that this dude is not fit for public office. Yet somehow, victim status trumps common sense for the woke.

UVA manhunt for ex-football player shooting suspect underway

A manhunt is currently underway on and nearby the University of Virginia grounds Monday morning for a student and former college footballer in the shooting on the Charlottesville campus Sunday night. Three people are dead and two are wounded.

The shooter, Christopher Darnell Jones, Jr., was on the school's football team in 2018 but never played a game. He is described by police as a black male wearing a burgundy jacket or hoodie, jeans and red shoes. Really--red shoes. He might be driving a black SUV with Virginia tag TWX3580.

In a message to the community Monday morning, UVA President Jim Ryan confirmed that Jones is a student.

"As of writing this, I am heartbroken to report the shooting has resulted in three fatalities; two additional victims were injured and are receiving medical care," Ryan wrote. "Our University Police Department has joined forces with other law enforcement agencies to apprehend the suspect, and we will keep our community apprised for developments as the situation evolves."

Classes were canceled on Monday, and students and faculty were instructed to remain sheltered in place.

Little is known about Jones and his unremarkable career as a football linebacker who never was put in to play at the college level. And rather than going into what is known about him, he doesn't deserve any notoriety; the only reason to print his name and photo is for identification purposes, not to make him famous so that others might follow in his evil footsteps.

What is known about him according to his family is that he tended to get into fights in high school that led to suspensions. Family and others tried to get him to focus on his studies and curb his anger. "If it wasn't for these people in my life, I would've been just another kid whose dad left him," Jones reportedly said. 

Multiple agencies, including Virginia State Police helicopter, are actively searching for Jones.

The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Culbreth parking garage, prompting a campus alert warning the school community of an active attacker firearm reported and to "RUN. HIDE. FIGHT."

Hunter Biden says Trump's sons are successful only due to their Dad

In his memoir forgiving himself for his drug-addled, women chasing blurry days in his past, Hunter Biden writes that former President Trump's sons for their successes in life. Clinically, this might be a psychological indication that Hunter is a putz. He has no self-awareness nor an appreciation for the incredible level of irony such a statement illustrates.

Hunter's qualifications as a Burisma Holdings consultant are akin to Joy Behar attending a Mensa leadership meeting. Or a jellyfish singing "Ode to Joy." Or hiring Stevie Wonder as an Uber Eats driver.

Hunter who basically traveled the world being a bag man for his father, collecting money for having the Biden name, said that he always tried to work hard enough that his "accomplishments stand on their own."

Perhaps he's right.

Hunter carried on an affair with his brother's widow [who obviously has her own problems if she consented to having an affair with this loser]. He also got a stripper pregnant then later denied the child was his to get out of paying child support. He "worked" for Burisma, as previously noted, collecting a crapload of cash, and had not one iota of experience in the energy field with which the company is involved. The only accomplishment this dirtbag achieved was to not overdose and end up in his own vomit in a sleazy hotel. 

Now that's control.

Dude gets 'unfriended' by cops in shootout

The manhunt is over. A suspect in a number of violent crimes in which he killed two relatives, shot two cops and hijacked multiple vehicles ended on Sunday night in a police chase and shootout that left Michael Dale Vance, Jr. dead in Oklahoma, which some would consider redundant (just kidding--Oklahoma rocks).

Vance, 38, was blown away by an Oklahoma state trooper near the sleepy town of Leedy, in the western part of the state. Vance had shot and wounded a Dewey County officer then escaped in a car earlier in the day, U.S. Marshals Service spokesman Dave Turk said. 

A resident saw Vance's Mitsubishi Eclipse "partially concealed by tumbleweeds," near Hammon, Oklahoma. A Highway Patrol Capt. Paul Timmons said that he believed Vance had been living at a makeshift campsite near the town, which is about 100 miles from Oklahoma City, as the crow flies.

The wounded officer from Dewey suffered non-life threatening injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.

The police pursued Vance in a 30-minute chase when he was approached by the state trooper. "There was an exchange of gunfire between the state trooper and the subject, and the subject was killed," the young Turk said.

Vance, who will not be missed by many, was wanted on multiple charges, including two counts of first-degree murder. A search began after he shot and wounded two police officers with an Ak-47 on October 23rd in Wellston.

Liberals went crazy after the shooting, attacking the "assault weapon" and the Second Amendment with Dianne Feinstein saying "This wouldn't have happened if they made that military-style weapon illegal."

Sen. Feinstein prefers the Glock 19 and owns two such pieces.

Vance had HIV/AIDS and may have intended to spread the disease. He also recorded two live Facebook videos documenting his run from the law before going to the Wilksons' mobile home, investigators said.

After he was killed, the Oklahoma State Police unfriended him on Facebook but his page remains open.

Mark Zuckerberg said, "You just can't kick a guy with AIDS off of Facebook. It isn't right.

Rachel Dolezal quits NAACP

Rachel Dolezal, 37, head of the Spokane branch of the NAACP (Not Actually A Colored Person, or so she thought) has quit her post after her white parents accused her of being white. Ms. Dolezal has been portraying herself as a black woman and allegedly told her adopted siblings not to "out" her to anyone because it would hurt her career choices and her credibility when falsely reporting racially-motivated hate-crimes.

When questioned by a reporter as to whether she was an African-American, Ms. Dolezal told him that she didn't understand the question. He spoke slowly the second time: "Are . . . you . . . an . . . African- . . . American?"

She offered no answer.

Ms. Dolezal said that she remains committed to fighting for "what is right and good in this world" except for honesty, integrity and the American way.

She was scheduled to speak at a chapter meeting Monday about issues regarding her racial identity, but canceled. Other liberal folks who "feel" that Ms. Dolezal is black, still planned to meet Monday night because, hey, it's Monday and there's nothing good on television.

Like the true pseudo-professional she is, Ms. Dolezal tendered her resignation on Facebook. She received 1,213,459 "Likes" for her decision.

"This is not me quitting, this is a continuum," the poser wrote. "It's about moving the cause of human rights and the Black Liberation Movement along the continuum from Resistance to Chattel Slavery to Abolition to Defiance of Jim Crow to the building of Black Wall Street to the Civil Rights and Black Power Movement to the #BlackLivesMatter movement and into a future of self-determination and empowerment."

When a Facebook follower asked her if she knew what year it was, she responded: "I don't understand the question."

Dolezal also said that serious problems plague Spokane's black community but "the dialogue has unexpectedly shifted internationally to my personal identity in the context of defining race and ethnicity."

Some members of the NAACP were planning to demand her resignation. Kitara Johnson, a bona fide black woman with a birth certificate to prove it, organized an online petition calling for the white Dolezal to take a leave of absence.

"It's not about race, it's about integrity. If you're a leader, you have to have integrity. She clearly lacks integrity. The other piece is credibility," Johnson said.

The NAACP supported Dolezal because it is possible that this once-upon-a-time non-partisan institution now lacks integrity and credibility. They have tried to dismiss Dolezal's lie by bringing "racial identity" into the mix. So if Dolezal identifies with being black, that works for them.

What if she identified with being African-Lebanese? Is it really any different?

Where is Martin when you need him?

Harriet Tubman

Ruthanne Dolezal, Rachel's biological mother, (and not even distantly related to Harriet Tubman) revealed the family's ancestry as Czech, Swedish and German with a little dab of Native American. 

So, Elizabeth Warren aside, makes Rachel white or perhaps black-Swedish, at least biologically.

Dolezal may have told a little fib about her ethnicity when she applied for the Spokane police board. But for now, Spokane police are suspending investigations into her racial-harassment complaints and looking into her racial-asshat complaints made against her by the public.

Notice how it's mostly the left that defends lies and incredulous claims.

Sadly, Rachel Dolezal could have presented herself honestly and thereby done a lot more for the NAACP. The only thing black about her is the eye she gave them.
