Macho man Jimmy ['The Trucker'] Talarico crows about hiding illegal aliens and calls Texas Christians "Christo-Fascists"

AI generated

Fox News got its hands on a video of a 2023 interview showing Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico bragging about how his church illegally sheltered illegal aliens from legal deportation. The church also fought for “LGBTQ rights in the ‘90s,” and allowed an atheist to join the congregation in the 2000s because it doesn't put much stock in Jesus.

In a dazzling display of progressive piety that would leave any ordinary churchgoer scratching their head, Talarico helpfully boiled down his congregation's hyper-progressive illegal stunts by declaring that “Christianity is just another word for causing trouble,” as if leftist anti-American law-breaking were the purest expression of the faith.

Not to be outdone, the truck maven Talarico then casually branded conservative Christians “Christo-facists” for the unforgivable sin of advancing policies like bans on killing the unborn and sex change surgeries for minors, school choice voucher programs, and displaying the Ten Commandments.

"All these ideologies stem from this Christo-fascism movement, which, essentially, like I said, is just using faith to exercise raw political, social and economic power," Talarico told the interviewer. "I think it's dangerous to all of us, but particularly to those who are marginalized and oppressed in our state."

Evidently, cutting off human appendages to try looking like the opposite sex of a child, and murdering babies in the womb, is safe, sane, and the right thing to do because young children can make life-altering decisions and babies are a lot of work and take away from one's time.

Naturally, the Talarico campaign has raced to backpedal from these illuminating remarks, insisting their candidate is merely a moderate Christian who suddenly believes in border security and supports law enforcement. 

A spokes socialist for the Talarico campaign dismissed Republican criticism of the candidate's progressive beliefs as “flat out lies.”

"James is a Christian seminarian who’s dedicated his life to the teachings of Jesus Christ, fighting religious and political corruption when he sees it because there’s nothing Christ-like about powerful people twisting the teachings of Jesus to justify hate, violence, and greed,” the spokes socialist told Fox News. 

“While billionaire-bought politicians like Ken Paxton attack James for his faith, he will continue encouraging Texans across the political spectrum to come together by loving their neighbors as themselves." 

Talarico’s earlier takes on Christianity have kept the fireworks going all campaign long, from claiming the Annunciation of Our Lord justified abortion, to declaring God is non-binary, to insisting that prohibiting sex changes for minors was sinful.Now this progressive past of Talarico’s is set to square off against key Trump-ally Ken Paxton for control of the Texas Senate seat in November’s midterm elections.

For a big, tough, truck-driving Texan, James Talarico is a lightweight. It would be incredibly surprising, and equally as sad, if this clown wins in the election.

State takes kids away from Christian couple who refuse to agree their daughter is a boy

A Christian mom and her husband are fighting back in court after Oregon’s Department of Human Services determined that they caused “mental injury” to her daughter by refusing to “affirm” her transgender identity.

“It has destroyed our lives,” Nicole Calaway, the mother of two daughters who are now estranged because they both claim a transgender identity, told the Daily Signal in an interview Sunday. Child Protective Services took custody of her then-15-year-old daughter, K.A., on July 18, 2024, one day after Calaway and K.A. terminated the services of K.A.’s therapist, Jennifer Forster. 

According to court documents, Forster filed the complaint that resulted in K.A.’s removal. ODHS notified the Calaways that the agency considered them “responsible for the mental injury” of K.A. “Your adverse reactions to [K.A.] expressing their gender identity have caused serious harm to [K.A.’s] psychological functioning,” ODHS caseworker Rachel Woods wrote in a Sept. 13 letter. 

Calaway’s older daughter had already moved out. “I was so distraught, it felt like I was gutted,” the mother said. “Both my daughters were gone. I took myself to the hospital and admitted myself for a week because I couldn’t handle it.”

The mother remains estranged from her daughters, and Oregon has ordered her not to contact K.A. Yet the state’s findings haven’t just affected her maternal relationship. A Black Mark on the Parents’ RecordsThe “mental injury” finding constitutes a child abuse ruling on Calaway’s permanent record, and on the record of her husband, David. 

But seriously, what are the chances that both female siblings would believe they were males? That only seems to happen in the Hollywood crowd. 

The stigma of a state agency finding the two guilty of child abuse has followed them across state lines after their move to Florida in July 2025. “In Oregon, if they were to do a background check, I could have lost my notary license, I still cannot, even here, volunteer with the church, anything to do with children,” the mother told the Daily Signal.

The stigma may be even worse for her husband. Months after the two moved to Florida, the disgusting Oregon Department of Human Services determined that David Calaway had “exhibited a pattern of inappropriate grooming behaviors to include making inappropriate sexual comments while [K.A.] was in his care.” 

The husband vehemently contested the claims, saying he is innocent and was not given an opportunity to appeal. While the office made the determination in December 2025, he did not receive notification of it until May 12. 

The husband told the Daily Signal that his employment has yet to be affected by the matter, but he highlighted this message from the notice: “This abuse finding could have an impact on David Calaway’s ability to volunteer or to obtain or retain a professional license or certain types of employment.”

“If I was being accused of sexual abuse, wouldn’t there be a police record? Wouldn’t I be arrested? Wouldn’t I be in jail?” the husband asked. [I believe him.] 

“It’s like we’re guilty until proven innocent,” the mother said. The couple filed a lawsuit earlier this month, accusing the therapist, Forster, and ODHS agents of violating their rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments. 

The lawsuit states that ODHS had previously screened out one child abuse referral against the Calaways and found a second referral unfounded, both in 2023. K.A.’s father, Keith Allison, who sought custody of the daughter, claimed that K.A. was in immediate danger, but the court denied two of his motions in 2024. 

“On essentially the same facts later used to remove K.A., a neutral court had twice declined to find immediate danger, and ODHS had already once found the mental-injury allegation unfounded,” the lawsuit states. 

On May 23, 2024, K.A. left school with a friend and did not notify her mother. She told school staff that she did not feel safe at home because her mother had showed her videos opposing transgender ideology the night before. School staff insisted she be taken to a stabilization center. Later, K.A. apologized to her mother and thanked her for helping her “acknowledge reality.” 

On July 17, Nicole Calaway and K.A. spoke on the phone with Forster, and terminated her services. Both K.A. and her mother accused the therapist of hiding information from the mother. According to the lawsuit, ODHS caseworker Rachel Woods recommended Forster call the Child Protective Services hotline shortly after this call. Forster called the hotline the next morning, and made many claims the lawsuit describes as false.

The therapist said that the mother had “presented as aggressive and angry,” and that she said K.A. “would no longer have support.” 

Forster would also write that the mother terminated counseling out of a “desire to manage client’s mental health without counseling support.” The lawsuit claims these statements were false but gave ODHS a “fabricated appearance of urgency.” 

On July 18, ODHS and law enforcement officers removed K.A. from the Calaways’ home for “mental injury.”According to the lawsuit, ODHS concluded that Nicole Calaway’s decision to show her daughter videos presenting arguments against transgender ideology harmed her daughter’s psychological functioning. The Calaways dispute this, saying the agency treated disagreement with the ideology as child abuse. “When did the truth become mental injury?” David Calaway asked in an interview with the Daily Signal.

The Calaways appealed the decisions, but ODHS stood by the finding. In November 2024, ODHS voluntarily withdrew the dependency petition, by which the department had removed K.A. from the Calaways’ home. While the department had dismissed the underlying claim, it nonetheless maintained the child-abuse findings against the Calaways. The plaintiffs argue the dismissal undercuts the state’s justification for removing K.A. from their home. 

“It began with them accusing us because we’re conservative Christians, and we don’t affirm her transgender ideology, that we provided hours of lectures to teach her daughter that this ideology isn’t right for her, and isn’t healthy for her, and they come and remove her from the home, and that was their reasoning,” the husband told the Daily Signal. 

According to the lawsuit, the Calaways refused to “affirm” K.A. as “transgender” due to their conservative Christian convictions that “a person cannot change from one sex to the other” and their view “that so-called ‘gender-affirming care,’ including ‘social transition,is harmful to children and teens and has never been proven safe or effective.” 

The lawsuit cites the United Kingdom’s Kass Review and the Department of Health and Human Services’ study finding little evidence for positive impacts from sex-rejecting procedures. The lawsuit accuses Forster of engaging in therapeutic malpractice because she “knew, or in the exercise of reasonable professional care should have known, that so-called ‘gender-affirming care,’ including social transition, is not a proven, safe, or effective treatment for an adolescent girl and is psychologically harmful.” 

Nicole Calaway told the Daily Signal she presented multiple videos to her daughter, including testimonials of detransitioners, “because I wanted her to make an informed decision. I did not want her to ruin her body. I still do not want her to ruin her body.” 

The Calaways’ lawsuit cited 42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming deprivation of rights under the color of law. They claim that the therapist and ODHS official conspired to use the power of the state to interfere with Nicole Calaway’s right to direct the care, custody, and upbringing of her child under the Fourteenth Amendment. The Calaways also claim defendants violated their rights to free speech and religious freedom under the First Amendment by attempting to force them to support transgender ideology. The lawsuit also claims that ODHS directed school officials to deny Nicole Calaway access to her daughter’s educational records, even though no court order restricted her parental rights.

The Christian couple seeks compensatory and general damages of at least $5 million, special and economic damages, punitive damages, a declaratory judgment in their favor, attorney’s fees, and an injunction removing them from a child abuse registry or a sex offender registry. 

This is yet another shining example of the progressive orthodoxy machine grinding up families that dare to notice biological reality. Oregon bureaucrats decided that a Christian couple’s refusal to play along with their daughter’s sudden identity crisis counts as “mental injury.” Because nothing says child protection like yanking a teenager out of her home the day after mom and daughter fire a therapist who was apparently more interested in ideology than actual therapy.

The Calaways get branded as abusers on their permanent records for the high crime of showing videos that challenge the prevailing dogma. Dad even gets hit with a late-breaking “grooming” accusation that somehow never involved the police, an arrest, or a jail cell. Funny how that works. Meanwhile the state shrugs off earlier findings that the claims were unfounded and a court that twice refused to declare the kid in immediate danger.

When the dependency petition gets quietly withdrawn months later, the abuse findings stay on the books like a scarlet letter that follows the couple all the way to Florida. Mom can’t volunteer at church. Dad wonders out loud if actual sexual abuse accusations usually skip the part where you get arrested.

“It’s like we’re guilty until proven innocent,” she said, which is a pretty accurate description of how these systems operate once the sacred “gender identity” trigger gets pulled. The couple’s lawsuit lays it out plainly: they wouldn’t affirm something their faith and common sense both reject, and the state treated that as grounds to seize their child. They pointed to the Kass Review and the HHS study that found precious little evidence that “gender-affirming care” helps anyone, let alone adolescent girls. 

The therapist is accused of malpractice for pushing the opposite. 

Mom simply wanted her daughter to see the detransitioner stories before making irreversible decisions about her own body. This is what happens when the administrative state decides that disagreement with transgender ideology is itself a form of child abuse. Parental rights, free speech, and religious liberty get treated as optional suggestions once the orthodoxy is challenged. 

The Calaways are asking for damages and to have their names scrubbed from the registries. In a saner country that wouldn’t even be a close call.

Tyler Robinson’s Trans Furry Boyfriend Spills the Beans on Those Engraved Bullets"[

"[I] told him to make sure he doesn't set off the bullet on accident in the house."

In a twist straight out of the clown world newsroom, Lance [Twiggy] Twiggs, the trans-identifying former boyfriend of accused assassin Tyler Robinson, took the stand in audio form during Thursday’s preliminary hearing.

He revealed that Robinson had been planning to engrave bullets ahead of a so-called “hunting” trip that somehow ended with Charlie Kirk, the late Turning Point USA founder, in the crosshairs.

The police interview with Twiggs, taped months after the assassination, finally got its big courtroom debut.

According to trans-identifying Twiggs, Robinson casually mentioned a family hunting excursion and wondered if he could borrow a Dremel tool to customize some ammunition with personal messages.

Twiggs, ever the helpful sort, confirmed he had the tool, pointed out its location, and issued the single most comically oblivious warning in recent memory, all about a month before the shooting.

“He said he was going hunting with his family and he asked if we had a Dremel he could borrow because he said he wanted to engrave messages on bullets,” Twiggs explained. “I just told him where the Dremel was and told him to make sure he doesn’t set off the bullet on accident in the house, but I didn’t really think about it until then."

Twiggs added that the day after the killing, Robinson looked restless, like a man trying very hard to pretend he hadn’t just turned a conservative icon into a headline. When Twiggs pressed him in person about those late-night texts confessing to the shooting, Robinson reportedly cracked.

“[He] didn’t go into detail. I just asked him in person if what he said was true the night before and he said it was, starting crying a little bit, and he says he wishes he hadn’t done it," Twiggs said.

Some chunks of the interview were redacted on orders from Judge Tony Graf to protect the delicate rights of the defendant while the rest of America wonders how many warning signs can pile up before someone connects the dots. Robinson, 23, now stares down the possibility of the death penalty if convicted, a fitting end to what the left will no doubt call “one isolated incident” involving a trans furry’s gun-engraving roommate. Business as usual in 2026.

The chances of Robinson getting the death penalty is as slim as a police captain forgoing a doughnut, but if he does, it will take decades before it's carried out, unless some Democratic socialist in power comes along and dismisses the charges.

Texas Dem Senate Candidate James Talarico Proudly Rebrands As "Talafreako," Launches Official Freak Merch Line

AUSTIN, TX—In a bold strategic masterstroke that political experts are calling "the most normal thing a Democrat has done all week," Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico has fully embraced his new nickname "Talafreako," graciously bestowed upon him by Republican opponent Ken Paxton.

Why did Paxton do so? Because Talarico freaking is.

The progressive leftist is now selling "I'm a Talafreako" T-shirts on his campaign website, proving once and for all that nothing says "serious Senate contender" like turning an insult into your entire brand identity, and while one can claim to be a socialist, it's capitalism that paved the way.

While speaking at a general election kickoff event in Houston this week, Talarico encouraged supporters to purchase a T-shirt, saying, "I also saw that Ken Paxton started calling me ‘Talafreako,’ and I am proud to announce that we have ‘I'm a Talafreako’ T-shirts on our website. So, when you go home tonight, make sure you grab one." 

After Talarico exited the stage, the crowd at the Houston rally began chanting "Talafreako" repeatedly, in what observers described as either unbridled enthusiasm or the auditory equivalent of a cry for help.

Despite the bravado, some believe that, with Talarico already having to deal with a series of highly controversial resurfaced comments, the move will backfire with moderate Texas voters. Talarico’s prior comments include saying that "God is nonbinary," that there are six genders and that the Bible supports abortion.

He offered no examples, no proof of his blasphemous and biological claims. For example, he said in 2021 during a Texas House debate on a bill restricting transgender athletes, that there are six biological sexes. “Modern science recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes — in fact, there are six.” This cretin was referring to chromosomal variations (e.g., XX, XY, XXY, XYY, XXX, XYY). Critics called it unscientific or an overreach to argue sex is a spectrum; he has since clarified there are two sexes (men and women) while noting rare chromosomal conditions deserve dignity.

In 2021 he said "God is nonbinary." In the same or related transgender policy debate, he stated: “God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is nonbinary.” He later explained it as intentionally provocative to mean God transcends human categories, citing Galatians (“in Christ there is neither male nor female”). 

Republicans and critics viewed it as insulting to Christianity or Jesus and even to God the Father.

In 2020 our genius lefty claimed that racism is a "virus." After Ahmaud Arbery’s killing. He posted on X equating racism to a virus and wrote: “White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we go—through our words, our actions, and our systems. We don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious.” 

He called for diagnosing it within ourselves and supporting #BlackLivesMatter. 

When restrictions on transgender participation was proposed regarding men in women's sports, this idiot called parental concerns a "far-right conspiracy."

He criticized Christian nationalism, and supported progressive policies on abortion and immigration.

A strategist familiar with the Senate race remarked to Fox News Digital that "Talarico can’t run from his record of supporting every freaky left-wing policy under the sun."

"Selling merch that says ‘Talafreako’ on it is just going to remind people that he is on the wrong side of every 80/20 issue," the strategist said, adding, "It’s so weird."

The thing is, the dude really is a freak and if Texas votes him in, they will learn their mistake the hard way.

Trans Lawyer disrupts custody hearing: forcefully removed for contempt and has unladylike behavior

On February 5, 2026, a child custody hearing in Pontotoc County District Court in Ada, Oklahoma. The hearing did a 180 turn when attorney Rob Hopkins, a woman who thinks she's a man, was representing a client in the case.

The main thrust of the hearing was about paperwork issues and the client’s absence due to an open warrent and protective order from another county.

Judge Laurie Jackson, a woman who is comfortable in her own skin, started by addressing Hopkins about his use of the word “butt” while quoting a bailiff. Things heated up fast. In a loud unladylike response, Hopkins raised her voice and loudly demanded the judge point to the exact paragraph in a ruling.

The judge warned her to stop interrupting or face contempt charges, but Hopkins kept going. She pointed her finger and again loudly insisted she was not finished with her argument.

At one point, her phone hit the floor and she later said it fell by accident. The judge called the action inappropriate and told her to stop shouting.

Hopkins loudly interrupted and pushed back repeatedly. When the opposing attorney noted the client had warrants, Hopkins interrupted again. The judge appeared stunned and said she would not tolerate the behavior. After multiple warnings, Judge Jackson held Hopkins in direct contempt of court and ended the hearing.

As the judge ordered deputies to take Hopkins into custody, she grew emotional and told the court, “You did not even say that I was in contempt.” She then added, “It’s because I’m a transgender attorney practicing all over this state.”

Judge Jackson responded by throwing her hands up and saying, “I don’t know you from Adam.” Surveillance footage from the courtroom captured the full exchange. Hopkins continued to argue even after the contempt ruling.

Deputies entered the courtroom to detain Hopkins but she immediately resisted. Body cam and courtroom video show him saying, “Do not hurt me, do not hurt me.”

As officers moved in, she repeated, “Do not grab me! Do not grab me! I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.” She hyperventilated while being brought to the ground and called out for someone to dial 911, which was futile.

During the struggle, Hopkins made another specific request. She shouted, “Get a female officer now! Get a female officer now!” and “I need a female police officer.”

So wait . . . if Hopkins believes she's a male, why then would she demand a female officer? Sounds like her feminine side won the battle with the cops.

Officers continued to secure her as she stayed on the floor. The scene ended with Hopkins in custody. 

She was later held on a $25,000 bond.

This episode lays bare one of the more revealing tensions of our time. Here was a lawyer who, having demanded to be treated according to her declared identity [as a man]  in every professional setting, she suddenly invoked that same identity not as a matter of legal principle but as a shield against the ordinary consequences of courtroom decorum. 

When the rules of the court, applied equally to everyone present, finally caught up with her, the immediate response was not contrition or reflection but the assertion that the judge’s decision must have been motivated by prejudice against her so called transgender status.  

It’s no different than the race card.

Another ISIS-Inspired Terror Plot Thwarted in North Carolina—And It's a Close Call

Federal authorities announced Friday that they've stopped a chilling ISIS-inspired terrorist attack planned for a grocery store and fast food restaurant in Mint Hill, North Carolina—a quiet Charlotte suburb that could have turned into a bloodbath.

The suspect? 18-year-old U.S. citizen Christian Sturdivant, who allegedly plotted to slaughter innocent Americans with "knives and hammers" after getting radicalized online. He even dreamed of becoming a "martyr" in the process. "He was preparing for Jihad."

“He was preparing for Jihad and innocent people were going to die,” U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson for the Western District of North Carolina bluntly stated at Friday's press conference.“He was targeting Jews, Christians and LGBTQ individuals,” Ferguson added.

Sturdivant, who slung burgers at a local Burger King, first popped up on law enforcement's radar back in January 2022, when he was just 14 years old. He was chatting on social media with an overseas ISIS operative who told him to dress in black, knock on doors, and hammer people to death. His family intervened and stopped him then, per FBI Special Agent in Charge James Barnacle. 

The kid got psychological help, which it didn't, and no charges were filed. 

The FBI was assured Sturdivant "no longer had access to social media." Turns out, that was a lie, they discovered the truth on December 18.

Fast forward: Sturdivant dives into ISIS websites, posts TikToks, pledges allegiance to the terror group to what he thought was an ISIS member (actually an NYPD undercover), and tells them he plans to "do jihad soon."

He then chats with an undercover FBI agent posing as an ISIS operative, spilling detailed plans for the attacks and even begging for guns.

Agents raid his home, find hammers and knives stashed under his bed, despite his family hiding them earlier, plus notes outlining the carnage.

Arrested on New Year's Eve as he's released from a medical facility, Sturdivant faces charges of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

"Without the swift action of the FBI, joint terrorism task force, New York City police department, the Mint Hill Police Department and our partners at the United States attorney’s office for the western district North Carolina, we could be announcing national tragedy. Instead, a terrorist attack was thwarted," Barnacle said.

This foiled plot hits just one year after Shamsud-Din Jabbar mowed down New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, flying an ISIS flag, killing 14 and wounding dozens more—before placing dud bombs and getting taken out by police.

Another reminder that the ISIS threat isn't going anywhere, even as these radicals try to strike on our soil. Good on law enforcement for shutting this one down before the body count started.

Federal Judge Just Smacked Down Biden's Transgender Overreach—Again

Will she get home in time to watch Judge Judy?

Oh, look, another day, another federal judge reminding the woke crowd that biology isn't a suggestion. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. tossed out a Biden-era rule that tried to shoehorn gender identity into Title IX protections and strong-arm doctors into performing transgender procedures like it was just another flu shot.

Guirola backed Tennessee and a posse of 14 other red states that dragged the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to court over this nonsense. The judge basically said HHS went full rogue, twisting "sex discrimination" into something it was never meant to be.

"Congress only contemplated biological sex when it enacted Title IX in 1972," Guirola wrote, dropping truth bombs like it's 1972 all over again. "Therefore, the Court finds that HHS exceeded its authority by implementing regulations redefining sex discrimination and prohibiting gender-identity discrimination."

This gem of a rule dropped on May 6, 2024, back when Biden's crew was still pretending they could rewrite reality with a pen stroke. Fast-forward to the Trump era, and the states weren't taking any chances. They figured why wait for the next round of bureaucratic bullying? 

Trump's HHS lawyers tried to calm everyone down, swearing up and down that with the boss cracking down on transgender ideology, no one's getting sued over this. But Guirola wasn't buying the "trust us, bro" routine. He called the threat of enforcement "real" and said sorting this out now would finally give everyone the clarity they've been begging for.

Under this rule, states would've been stuck footing the bill for transgender surgeries through Medicaid and Medicare, while hospitals lost the right to keep bathrooms and locker rooms where they belong—segregated by actual biology. It would've nuked state health exchanges that dared to say no to the procedure parade.

Guirola laid it out plain: "When it enacted Title IX, Congress's concern was prohibiting sex discrimination in education. It was particularly concerned with inequality that female students experienced. It did not at that time contemplate gender identity, transgender status, or 'gender-affirming care,'" he wrote. In other words, Congress wasn't dreaming up a future where "sex" means whatever TikTok says it does.

Tennessee AG Jonathan Skrmetti was popping champagne over the win, and who could blame him?

"When Biden-era bureaucrats tried to illegally rewrite our laws to force radical gender ideology into every corner of American health care, Tennessee stood strong and stopped them," Skrmetti said. "This decision restores not just common sense but also constitutional limits on federal overreach, and I am proud of the team of excellent attorneys who fought this through to the finish."

Skrmetti hammered home how this would've forced hospitals into sex-segregated space chaos and made states subsidize the whole "gender-affirming" circus via Medicaid. 

The suit had the full Republican AG squad from Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, and West Virginia all piling on, because when it comes to fighting federal fairy tales, strength in numbers.Meanwhile, President Trump, never one to let Biden's legacy linger—is on a tear with executive orders to undo the transgender takeover. He's already kicked off a full audit of every Biden move on this front, making sure the madness gets the boot it deserves. 

Score one for sanity, zero for the ideologues.

DNA evidence on Charlie Kirk's shooter is in

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell on "Fox & Friends" Monday, claiming they have the goods on Tyler Robinson, the guy fingered for trying to take out Charlie Kirk. DNA evidence, straight from the scene.

Patel didn't mince words: "I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody." 

The probability that the DNA belongs to someone else rather than Robinson, is practically zero. Profiling, which compares genetic markers, is very precise. The probability of two unrelated people sharing the same DNA profile using the standard 13 to 20 markers used in forensic analysis, is less than 1 in a billion! So in addition to visual evidence, the shooter's father's statement, and his LGBTQ partner's statement, the chances that Robinson is not the shooter is slim to none.

Cops say Robinson pulled a stuntman move, leaping off a roof at Utah Valley University right after the shooting, then hightailed it through some woods into a nearby neighborhood leaving behind a DNA-drenched towel and a screwdriver. The only thing missing was an inscription with his name on these items.

Right now, Robinson is cooling his heels under "special watch" in Utah, giving cops the silent treatment. He might not be talking, but that DNA's got plenty to say.

BREAKING: Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk shot! Latest Update

UPDATE: It has been reported that Charlie Kirk has died. This is a very recent report and has not been confirmed.

On a crisp September 10, 2025, in Orem, Utah, the unthinkable went down. Charlie Kirk, the firebrand conservative and founding leader of Turning Point USA, was gunned down during a speaking event at Utah Valley University. It was 12:10 PM, just 20 minutes into a heated Q&A, when a single shot rang out from the Losee Center, some 200 yards off, piercing the air like a cold blade. 

Grainy videos hit the web fast, showing Kirk under a tent emblazoned with "The American Comeback" and "Prove Me Wrong," jolting back as the bullet struck. Bystanders reported that blood came from his neck. Chaos erupted as people immediately ran for cover. 

Kirk crumpled from his chair, and was quickly whisked away by his security crew to a hospital, his fate still a question mark.

Police nabbed a suspect, but they're keeping tight-lipped on who or why. The FBI, under Director Kash Patel, is circling like hawks, backing up local badges. Utah Valley was locked down, cleared out the campus, and classes canceled for the day.

The outrage poured in from all corners. President Trump took to Truth Social, calling Charlie "a great guy" and begging for prayers. VP JD Vance, Utah's Governor Spencer Cox, and Senators Mike Lee and John Curtis piled on with support. 

Even California's Gavin Newsom, no fan of Kirk's politics, slammed the attack as "disgusting, vile, and reprehensible," preaching against political bloodlust. Gabby Giffords, who survived a 2011 hit, chimed in, horrified, condemning the violence.

Thus far, nobody has blamed President Trump for the shooting, but it's early.

This isn't just a one-off. CNN's tally marks this as the 46th school shooting of 2025, another grim tick in America's rising tide of political mayhem. The motive is still a mystery, and the feds are digging. 

For now, it's wait-and-see in a country that's feeling more like a powder keg by the day. A country where some who have fled their own dangerous country seeking asylum, have themselves ended up victims of crime and murder.

Female Cyclists Cry Foul Over Trans Athlete’s Sneaky Victory Lap

Well, folks, the woke sports brigade is at it again, and this time they’ve got veteran female cyclists spitting nails, and I don't mean fingernails. 

USA Cycling is under fire for what some are calling a straight-up bait-and-switch after a transgender athlete, Kate "KJ" Phillips, waltzed away with first place at the Lyons Masters National Championships in Wisconsin. The worst part is that the women who got steamrolled claim they were kept in the dark about Phillips’ participation. 

"It was hidden from us," Debbie Milne, who finished a respectable seventh, told Fox & Friends with the kind of exasperation you’d expect from someone who’s been pedaling for decades only to get blindsided. Milne and second-place finisher Julie Peterson said they always scope out the competition by checking the registered athletes list. But guess whose name was mysteriously missing. Yes, Phillips, who apparently identifies as Catherine "KJ" Phillips, was nowhere to be found.

"Catherine Phillips, KJ’s name, was not on that list. And I checked it up all the way to the point of closure when we couldn't register online anymore," Milne said, probably while resisting the urge to chuck her bike at someone.

So, Phillips wins, and Peterson, in a move that screams “I’m not here for your nonsense,” refused to step on her second-place podium at the awards ceremony. Milne called it a “difficult” choice but backed her fellow cyclist, saying she’d have done the same. “She's a class athlete. We respect our sport,” Milne said, noting that the lack of transparency from race organizers felt like a slap in the face to athletes who’ve poured years into cycling. “We respect podiums. It's really tough to do something that significant. It's disrespect,” she added. “She [Peterson] felt that there had not been transparency.”

Here’s where it gets extra spicy: Milne and Peterson aren’t buying that Phillips’ name being left off the list was some innocent oopsie. They’re calling it “deception,” and Milne pointed out that Peterson later confirmed Phillips had been registered since mid-June, which is plenty of time to show up on the list before it closed. 

Milne said if she’d known, she might’ve saved herself the hundreds of bucks and 400-plus-mile trip to compete in what turned out to be a rigged-feeling race.

Now, let’s talk about USA Cycling’s rules, which sound like they were written by someone trying to thread the needle between fairness and a diversity seminar. 

Transgender women can race in female divisions if they sign a declaration saying they identify as female and jump through some hoops in the “Elite Athlete Fairness Evaluation Process.” Their website pats itself on the back, claiming, “The Policy recognizes the need to ensure that everyone, irrespective of gender identity, can participate in cycling in a safe, harassment-free environment,” while also promising no one gets an “unfair and disproportionate advantage.” 

Sure, sounds great, until you’re a female cyclist wondering why you’re racing against someone who wasn’t even listed and was born with a twig and berries, more fast-twitch muscle, and XY chromosomes.

Meanwhile, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the big dogs of global cycling, aren’t playing these games. They’ve got a policy that keeps transgender women out of female-designated events, period.

Maybe USA Cycling could take a page from their book instead of leaving athletes like Milne and Peterson feeling like they’ve been pedaled into a ditch.

This whole mess smells like another case of woke bureaucracy trumping common sense. If you’re going to let transgender athletes compete, at least have the decency to tell everyone upfront. Hiding the ball, or the name on the list, just makes it look like you’re trying to pull a fast one. And when you’re dealing with athletes who’ve dedicated their lives to the sport, that’s not just unfair, it’s a betrayal.

Joy Reid goes full Iran apologist on CNN but then this happened

Joy[less] Reid, the miserable ex-MSNBC leftist, just took a wild swing on CNN, defending Iran of all places after Trump dropped a weekend surprise on their nuclear sites. Yeah, that Iran. The one with a rap sheet longer than a Costco receipt for sponsoring terror and chaos.

Things got spicy fast on CNN’s Newsnight Tuesday, and Reid was serving up takes hotter than a Legionnaire's butt on the Sahara in the middle of summer.

CNN contributor Brad Todd came out swinging, laying it down plain: “Iran-backed militias that attacked the United States forces 170 times in Syria, in Jordan and in Iraq. You know who said that? Joe Biden said that. That’s why he authorized F-15 strikes against Iran.”

Bahdahboom! Facts on the table.

But Reid? She a dolt and wasn’t having it. Brushing off Biden like he’s yesterday’s news, she sneered, “I don’t look to former President Joe Biden as a moral authority because he has allowed Israel in an unrestrained manner to slaughter Palestinians in Gaza.”

Oh, we’re going there, eh? Reid doubled down, spinning a yarn about why Iran’s chasing nukes: “The bottom line here is the way that we know that Iran did not have nuclear weapons is that if they had nuclear weapons, Israel would not attack them. The reason they’re trying to get nukes, and probably Saudi Arabia is trying to get them, is because an expansionist power in their region keeps threatening them and actually bombs them.”

She's putting the cart before the horse, in a sense. The obvious truth is what Iran has said all along, and that's a little chant calling for death to Israel, and yes, America too.

Then Reid went full bird-brain: “I don’t think it’s okay that Israel has nukes either. And so the bottom line is, Israel does not even subject its nuclear weapons to the IAEA. And so my question is, should anyone in the region have nukes?”

Alright, Joy, slow down. You’re out here sounding like you’re auditioning for a UN debate club and didn't even bring your notes.

Host Abby Phillips wasn’t letting that slide, stepping in with a reality check: “Joy, this is not just about nukes. It’s also about Iran being a state sponsor of terrorism and chaos and violence and death around the world. So, I mean, there’s that too.”

Then Arthur Aidala piled on, calling out Reid for stanning a regime that “slaughters gay people and kills others for their religious beliefs.” Reid, too stupid to back down, fired back: “LGBTQ people can't even serve in the military under the president you prefer.”

Aidala wasn’t having it, clapping back, “We're not killing them!”

Reid kept digging: “They’re allowed to live, but they’re not allowed to serve in the United States military. They’re being persecuted. They can’t have their stories told in school. The United States is not exactly a beacon of rights for gay people.” Okay, Joy, comparing the U.S. to Iran’s death squads? That’s a stretch even for you. Aidala called her out for the false equivalence, and the panel was basically a cage match at this point.

And yes, LGBTQ people can openly serve in the military, but don't expect the military to do the genital mutilation for them. The "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was repealed in 2011 and since then openly gay, lesbian and bisexual people can serve. In 2021, the Department of Defense lifted the ban on transgender individuals serving openly, allowing them to serve in their identified gender, provided they meet military standards.

This wasn’t the first time we’ve heard this tune. Just last week, The View’s Whoopi Goldberg tried a similar flex, claiming the U.S. in 2025 is basically Iran for Black folks. “Not if you're Black,” she insisted when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back, with Sunny Hostin chiming in, “not for everybody.” 

The hyperbole is strong with this mentally challenged crew.

Reid’s still stinging from MSNBC canning her show earlier this year, and she has a theory: her Gaza coverage and relentless Trump-bashing got her the boot. Shocker, right? The far-left flamethrower thinks speaking “truth to power” cost her the gig. Maybe, Joy, it’s just that people got tired of the hot takes that sound like they’re scripted by a Reddit thread.

So, there you have it—Reid out here caping for Iran, sparring with CNN’s finest, and leaving us all wondering: what’s next, a fan letter to the ayatollah? Stay tuned, because this drama’s far from over.

Calif. girl's track star disqualified from state championships due to celebrating her win

Clara Adams

Clara Adams is a phenomenal high school track star. She won the girls 400 meter finals although a boy with gender dysphoria was slightly faster and ironically won the first place award.

 Adams, a straight-up high school track phenom who’s burning up the lanes like nobody’s business. She's a sophomore from North Salinas High School who blazed through the girls’ 400-meter finals at the California state championships, crossing the finish line first, or so she thought. But the story takes a wild turn, and not the good kind.

See, there’s this whole storm brewing at the California state track and field championships, mostly because a boy who claims to be a girl snagged first in the girls’ high jump and triple jump. That’s got everyone’s attention, but flying under the radar is a straight-up travesty in the varsity girls’ 400 finals that’ll make your blood boil.

Adams is an absolute speed demon, smoking the prelims for second place, then came out guns blazing in the finals. She crossed that line first, ready to bask in the glory. 

Picture this: she’s celebrating with her father, David, grabbing a fire extinguisher, and spraying her shoes like they ignited from her speed. The Monterey Herald caught the moment, with her dad saying it was all in good fun, nowhere near her opponents. “She wasn’t disrespecting anyone,” David told the outlet. Just a kid having a blast after leaving everyone in the dust.

But here’s where it gets downright infuriating. The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) swoops in like some fun-hating overlords and calls her celebration “unsportsmanlike.” They strip Clara of her state championship, her hard-earned, sweat-drenched victory, and disqualify her from the whole meet. Poof, just like that, no 200-meter race for her either.

David Adams isn’t having it. He protested the CIF’s call, saying it felt “racially motivated.” Clara’s Black, and yeah, that detail’s not lost on anyone paying attention. The CIF  doubled down, upholding the decision like they’re guarding the gates of LGBTQ+YADDAYADDA911 bureaucracy.

Alan Green, one of the voices of reason here, summed it up to the Monterey Herald: “It’s a very unfortunate event. We are all heartbroken. Clara ran an incredible 400 race and is the fastest 400-meter girl in the state. She was trying to have some fun at the finish line after the 400. It was interpreted as unsportsmanlike. What an incredible season and run. It’s unfortunate.” 

Now that's an understatement of the year, Alan.

Clara was gutted. “I felt like I was robbed,” she said, still “in shock.” And who wouldn’t be? This girl’s been dominating, first in the 400 at the Central Coast Section Championships, first in three races at the Pacific Coast Athletic League Masters Meet just last month. She’s the real deal, and now she’s caught in this nonsense.

One day the country will look back at this insanity where boys and men compete against girls and women and wonder what the hell were they thinking.

Oh, and let’s not gloss over the irony here: a boy with gender dysphoria ran slightly faster in the 400 and snagged the first-place award. So while Clara’s getting DQ’d for a little flair, the bigger picture’s got everyone scratching their heads. California, what are we even doing here? 

Clara Adams deserved better as do all female athletes in all sports.

Trans Activist’s Flagpole Fiasco at California Track Champs—Gets SCHOOLED!

The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) track and field championship turned into a total dumpster fire, and it’s no surprise why. A dude claiming he’s a lady has been steamrolling the girls’ competition, and the woke brigade’s losing their little minds. 

Things got UGLY when some rainbow-flag-waving activist decided to play whack-a-mole with a conservative protester, swinging a flagpole draped with a massive transgender flag. This scumcrumpet picked the wrong fight and paid a HEAVY price.

The guy attacked was Josh Fulfer, better known as "Oreo Express" on X. He has guts and a quick trigger on the pepper spray.

“Fortunately I was able to pepper spray them and police had seen the incident and took the they/them into custody. Transtifa is violent,” Fulfer said.

This whole circus went down at Veterans' Memorial Stadium at Buchanan High School in Clovis. Fox News Digital snagged footage showing the attacker, 19-year-stupid Ethan Kroll, smacking Fulfer with that flagpole like he’s auditioning for a medieval reenactment.

 
Police records obtained by Fox News Digital, confirm Kroll, a male, got slapped with charges for assault with a deadly weapon (yep, that flagpole), obstructing a public officer, and vandalism. 

And let’s talk about that pepper spray. Kroll took it right in the face. Bet that stung worse than his pride.

Fulfer laid out the play-by-play for Fox News Digital. It all kicked off after he left the meet, driving with his wife, and pulled up to a red light. Kroll was there, decked out in black face coverings like some wannabe ninja defender of the mentally ill.

“They were yelling something, and they recognized me right away. And they said something. I don't even know, I can't understand what they were saying, but I said something in the nature of, 'If you're so proud and you're not ashamed of your cause, why don't you show your face? Why are you so embarrassed to show your face?'” Fulfer recounted.

“And then they yelled something. And when they yelled something, they started going right across the street onto the center divide. And then they said, ‘You're Josh Fulfer,’ and started hitting me with the pole. They put the pole in the car and started jabbing me with the pole.”

A quick tussle later, Fulfer unleashed the pepper spray, hitting Kroll square in the eyes. Cops nearby saw the whole thing and dragged Kroll off, looking like he just lost a cage match with a skunk.

Here’s the deal: men competing in women’s sports is a straight-up TRAVESTY, and conservatives have been sounding the alarm on this nonsense forever. Why are Democrats so obsessed with defending this when polls show 80% of Americans think it’s garbage? Because they are so enamored by their leftist ideology that they don't care about what the majority wants.

 
And where the heck is Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom while this insanity unfolds? If this guy dares to run for president, and I bet he will, I’m grabbing popcorn to watch him fumble his way through explaining THIS mess.

Biden's Dept. of Veterans Affairs provided genital mutilation/transgender procedures despite ban as per documents

For years, the Department of Veterans Affairs thumbed its nose at a rule banning “gender alterations,” turning itself into a one-stop shop for vets looking to play dress-up as the opposite sex. 

Internal documents spill the beans: the VA—yes, the same outfit fitting war heroes with prosthetic limbs—was handing out prosthetic peckers dubbed “3-in-1 (pee/pack/play),” fake boobs, chest binders, wigs, and even dilators for artificial vajayjays.

Federal regulations say “gender alterations” are off-limits for VA medical services. But the VA played word games, claiming that only meant the slice-and-dice surgeries. “Since 2011, VA has provided all medically necessary transition-related care for transgender and gender diverse Veterans except surgeries,” one document brags. Leave it to bureaucrats to dodge a rule by splitting hairs finer than a frog’s butt.

Then the Biden crew took it up a notch, stretching “medically necessary” like a cheap rubber band. Back in 2020, a doctor said hair removal was just cosmetic—no dice. Fast forward to Biden’s watch, and they’re teaching VA staff how to farm out laser jobs to zap hair off a trans veteran’s “face/neck, back, chest, abdomen, or genitalia,” billing it under a sneaky “unlisted procedure code for skin, mucous membrane, and subcutaneous tissue.” 

Slick move, huh?

It gets weirder. The VA even roped in “parking attendants or valets, maintenance staff, [and] housekeepers” for a PowerPoint pep talk, making them “Articulate the key elements of VHA’s Directive on Providing Health Care for Transgender and Intersex Veterans” and coaching them to ask vets, “Hey, what name, gender, and pronoun do you vibe with?”—all so they could bunk them in hospital rooms with whoever matched their fantasy gender.

Cue the Trump administration on Monday, riding in with an executive order titled Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. They’re slamming the brakes on “medical treatments for gender dysphoria,” except for vets already mid-transition at the VA. Before that, Biden’s squad went hog-wild expanding the trans buffet—hormones, voice lessons, egg-and-sperm storage, you name it.

Biden-era papers even teased changing the rules to green-light surgeries, but whined it’d take years. One gem, “Gender-Affirming Care at VA: Resources for Providers,” admits, “While VA cannot provide gender-affirming surgeries at this time,” they’d still slap a gender dysphoria label on veterans, juice ‘em up with hormones, train their vocal cords, yank their body hair, and pen love letters to outside surgeons begging for the chop. 

An April 2024 slide from an “LGBTQ+ Veterans Care Coordinator” adds they’d cover “medically necessary post-operative and long-term care following gender-affirming surgery”—think revision cuts or snipping nuts if the hormone cocktail went sideways.

VA staff got crash courses on “diagnosing gender dysphoria” and “assessment of readiness and consent for hormone therapy,” with tricks to book a “transgender and gender diverse national e-consult” linking local docs to trans “expert hub teams” in Minneapolis and Tucson. One catch: the e-consult screen flashes a warning that “for individuals still active in the military (e.g., Guard, Reserves, Active Duty) transgender identity can be grounds for discharge and their VA medical records are accessible by the military.” 

Whoops.

The VA—whose motto, straight from Abe Lincoln, is “To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan”—even rolled out a “Gender-Affirming Program with Speech (GAPS).” That’s “4-8 individual sessions with a speech-language pathologist” to help dudes sound like dames, “achieving your authentic and affirming voice,” plus tips to keep their laughs, coughs, and sneezes from blowing their cover. Tax dollars hard at work.

They even cranked out form letters to nudge outside docs into doing genital jobs, like this cookie-cutter pitch: “I support (honorific) XXXX’s decision to undergo genital surgery, and I am available for coordination of care.” Just fill in the blank and sign. Another version gushes, “We are of the opinion that [veteran] meets all of the criteria for a vaginoplasty, as set forth in the WPATH Standards of Care, Version 7.” Oh, and veterans could tweak the “birth sex” field on their records too, because “despite the medical implications…this is the Veteran’s right.” Sure, why not?

Monday, Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins dropped the hammer, saying all this nonsense is toast. “I mean no disrespect to anyone, but VA should not be focused on helping Veterans attempt to change their sex,” he said. “The vast majority of Veterans and Americans agree, and that is why this is the right decision.” Cash saved from ditching these “specific medical treatments for gender dysphoria” will now prop up real heroes—think paralyzed vets and amputees—helping them claw back some independence.

“All eligible Veterans — including trans-identified Veterans — will always be welcome at VA and will always receive the benefits and services they’ve earned under the law,” the department swore. “But if Veterans want to attempt to change their sex, they can do so on their own dime.” Bathrooms and rooms? Back to birth sex rules. The VA also torched Veterans Health Administration Directive 1341(4), which propped up this circus.

Here’s the kicker: the VA “has not kept consistent and reliable records” on how many vets got these treatments, how much it cost, or how many staffers were roped in. Best guess? Less than 0.1% of the 9.1 million vets in VA care are trans-identified. Small potatoes, big headache.

LA's DEI Fire Department says 'there's nothing they can do' to prevent or put out fires

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso blasted current Democrat Mayor Karen Bass and her "absolute mismanagement by the city," which led to the fire hydrants running dry and fires running rampant.

But at least the LA Fire Department is woke and has made great use of D.E.I. so that transgender 'women' are experts since birth, at using a hose.

The Los Angeles Times reported in the early hours of Wednesday morning that firefighters battling the blaze in Pacific Palisades had begun to report over radios that fire hydrants were losing pressure, going flaccid, and running out of water entirely.

“The hydrants are down,” and, “Water supply just dropped,” they said, according to the outlet.

The Department of Water and Power provided a statement to the Times acknowledging the hydrants were running out of water but did not give any indication as to how widespread the issue was.

“This area is served by water tanks and close coordination is underway to continue supplying the area,” the statement said.

Too bad they can't come up with a way to use the Pacific Ocean as a temporary water supply--it's just down the street.

Caruso commented on the still-unfolding clusterfrack: “There’s no water in the fire hydrants. The firefighters are there [in the neighborhood], and there’s nothing they can do — we’ve got neighborhoods burning, homes burning, and businesses burning. … It should never happen.”

Caruso called a local news station and revealed that his daughter’s home was among the 1000 structures that had burned thus far — and said that if the city [not to mention the state] was better managed, the situation could have been much less disastrous.

“My heart goes out obviously to the people with their homes, and I’m watching the small businesses around us go up in flames, you know this is people’s livelihoods,” Caruso said. “So it’s devastating. but what is most concerning to me is our first responders and our firefighters who are trying to battle this, there’s no water in the Palisades.”

What does it mean when one's heart goes out?

Caruso, a developer, went on to target the mismanagement of resources, saying that reservoirs had not been refilled and noting the fact that Mayor Bass is out of the country, traveling in Ghana on the taxpayers' dime.

“There’s no water coming out of the fire hydrants. This is an absolute mismanagement by the city,” he added. “It’s not the firefighters’ fault, but it’s by the city. And I’ve got to be very honest, we’ve got a mayor that’s out of the country, and we’ve got a city that’s burning, and there’s no resources to put out fires.”

“So if you look at your pictures, you don’t see the firefighters there because there’s nothing they can do,” he claimed. “It looks like we’re in a third-world country here.”

But we all know that if Trump had already been sworn in as President, he would be the target of blame.

New Tolerance Campaign offers $1 million to Queers for Palestine to hold parade in Gaza

A U.S.-based watchdog organization called The New Tolerance Campaign (NTC) made a one million dollar offer on Monday to "Queers for Palestine" as well as any LGBTQ organization to host a Gay Pride Parade in Gaza or Judea and Samaria.

“This isn’t a joke. It’s not a publicity stunt. Our offer is real,” Gregory T. Angelo, the organization's president said in a statement on the group's website. 

Angelo, who is gay, is also the former president of Log Cabin Republicans.

“For the past year, we’ve seen so-called ‘Queers for Palestine’ and allied LGBTQ organizations insist that the Palestinian territories are ‘inclusive’—well, here’s their chance to prove it. We’re willing to put our money where their mouths are to underwrite a Gay Pride Parade in Gaza or the West Bank.”

Crickets.

NTC has received commitments for the $1 million prize, which is being offered to potential parade organizers. The offer is good for the next six months, until March 16, 2025, but there's a better chance for a gay person to get hit by lightning, twice, at 12 noon in Times Square on New Year's Day.

NTC said it had attempted to publicize the campaign with full-page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post and USA Today. All three newspapers declined, citing safety concerns and the fact that they're cowards.

Times Square in New York City also declined to run the ad, saying the buildings displaying it could become targets of violence, which kind of proves the point, doesn't it.

NTC then began circulating mobile billboards on Monday around Columbia University on the Upper West Side of New York City; the headquarters of the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, D.C.; and the University of California, Los Angeles.

The mobile billboards will run through Wednesday. Additional dates may be announced, the organization said.

“The campaign will also allow everyday Americans to send messages directly to the senior leadership of the Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, the LGBTQ Task Force, and Advocates for Trans Equality encouraging them to actually fight for LGBTQ rights rather than taking a political stance against the only gay-friendly country in the Middle East, Israel,” NTC’s website stated.

“This project highlights the lack of human rights for the LGBTQ community in Palestine while noting LGBTQ people live freely in Israel. It also has the potential to be a breakthrough moment for pluralism and peace throughout the Arab world,” said Angelo.

According to the rules of the challenge, the recipient group must be a recognized U.S. 501(c)(3) organization; the parade march must be at least one kilometer (approximately half a mile) in length and on a major street; and include at least 200 participants, 80% of whom must be Palestinian, and from Judea and Samaria or Gaza.

In addition, participants must outwardly “show” LGBTQ pride symbols or dress, including but not limited to rainbow flags, trans flags, full leather outfits, or drag.

At least half of the parade signs must be in Arabic and the parade filmed by NTC just to avoid any confusion among the members of the religion of peace who will view the parade and may get more involved.

Arab channel TV show guest calls for killing all LGBTQ people

According to a complaint filed by The Aguda - The Association for LGBTQ Equality in Israel, a broadcast on KAN 11 called for the murder and execution of LGBT people.

'They are unnatural': Arab channel TV show guest calls for the execution of gay people
Among other things, a Muslim named Saeed Badran said that "homosexuals are outside of nature" and that he supports killing them he said in a broadcast on Monday night. 

He made the complaints about gays in Israel but he obviously does not speak for Israelis as Israel happens to be the most democratic, live-and-let-live country in the entire Middle East where the remainder are as homo-homicidal as one can imagine.

The complaint is about a show on "Makan 33," an Arabic-language channel owned by the same company that runs KAN 11. But the calls for killing gays came from Muslim Arabs, certainly not from Israel where they hold an annual gay pride parade in Tel Aviv.

Badran also said that it wouldn't matter if it were an Islamic (Shariah) state, Judaic (Halachic) state, or Christian state; all would execute gay people if they ruled by religion.

What are they afraid of? Islamic paradise, Jannah, offers young, handsome boys along with the 72 virgins, as a reward, and the wives get to watch. 

The association responded, "These are statements that have the power to incite serious violence against LGBT people and directly endanger the lives of LGBT people from Arab society in particular, many of whom are also in danger every day.

This is how Muslims treat gay people as prescribed in the 'holy' Qur'an

"In light of this, we expect and demand from the broadcasting corporation, whose responsibility it is to represent all sections of the public appropriately and properly, to take all sanctions against the program team, the editors, the presenter, and anyone who approved the broadcast of the interview and leaving it on the air for long minutes."

KAN 11 responded, "The words that were said on the broadcast in Arabic are intolerable, and it was not appropriate for them to be broadcast. We immediately removed the segment from the network. The guest who said the things on the broadcast will not return to our broadcasts."

Badran is obviously quite Islamic.
