Michigan Democrat Mallory McMorrow Flees the Red Dawn She Helped Unleash, Leaving Michigan One Step Closer to the People's Republic of the Great Lakes

In a scene straight out of a Bolshevik fever dream, complete with hammer, sickle, and probably a few portraits of Che on the campaign wall, Democrat Michigan state senator Mallory McMorrow has suddenly suspended her campaign for U.S. Senate, just weeks before the August 4th primary. Comrades, the revolution is eating its own again.

This leaves the Democratic primary as a glorious two-way cage match between establishment moderate Rep. Haley Stevens (the Chuck Schumer-approved choice, because nothing says “fighting for the working class” like a career politician backed by super PACs) and the full-throated socialist Abdul El-Sayed, endorsed by the anti-Zionist deadbeat Comrade Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Obviously-Communist, the dynamic duo of “free stuff for everyone except the kulaks.”

McMorrow’s name stays on the ballot because, in true Democrat fashion, the ballots were already printed and mailed out like Soviet ration cards. The eventual winner, whichever flavor of leftism triumphs, will face former Rep. Mike Rogers in November for the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Gary Peters. 

This is a must-hold for the Democrats if they want to claw back the Senate from the evil, freedom-loving GOP, which currently holds a 53-47 edge. Nonpartisan handicappers call it a toss-up. Let's be serious, America is one bad primary away from the gulag. 

In her weepy little video on X, McMorrow offered no real reason for bailing. She just thanked her staff and supporters for a campaign powered by “small-dollar donations and no corporate PAC money.” Sure, Mallory. You built that plucky little progressive dream right up until the polls showed you getting steamrolled by both the corporate Dems and the actual Reds. Then poof; vanishing act.

But fear not, comrades! She pledged full support to whichever Democrat wins and faces off against Rogers. Quote: “So here's what we do next. Every day through November 3rd. We win this Senate seat and send Mike Rogers back to Florida for good. Whoever wins this primary on August 4th will have my full support.”

How touching. A true display of socialist solidarity, right before the knives come out. 

Stevens, naturally, called McMorrow an “important voice” for Michigan families and positioned herself as the electable one who’ll “lower costs, protect manufacturing jobs, and stand up to Trump’s abuses of power.” Of course, Michigan's manufacturing is 'protected' by the party that plans to regulate, tax, and green-new-deal everything to death.

Meanwhile, El-Sayed, the man who would be America’s first Muslim senator and who looks at Bernie Sanders the way a lovesick teenager stares at a Che Guevara poster, praised McMorrow for challenging the “rigged system.” Quote: “Throughout this campaign, Senator McMorrow showed what it looks like to fight back against politics that rigs the system against too many of us. . . .  The same party insiders she had the courage to challenge have been bullying anyone who opposes their chosen candidate. . . . I welcome her supporters to our movement to stand up against money in politics, to put money back in pockets, and pass Medicare for All. We cannot allow the establishment to decide our nominee for us.”

So come join the glorious people’s struggle! We’ll abolish ICE, call Israel’s fight against Hamas “genocide,” demand single-payer socialism, and make sure the only people with money are the ones running the re-education camps.

This is the choice Michigan Democrats face: Schumer’s corporate shell or Bernie’s full Commie. El-Sayed wants Medicare for All, open borders, and to turn Michigan into a sanctuary state for every radical idea short of immediate collectivization of the auto plants. The establishment is terrified he’ll push the party so far left that even the state Trump carried by a whisker two years ago will finally go full Venezuela.

The NRSC nailed it: “Bernie Sanders’ radical socialist flank is completely taking over the Democrat Party.” Exactly. The mask is off. What used to be hidden behind flowery rhetoric about “progress” and “equity” is now out in the open: government control of health care, demonization of Israel, abolition of borders, and the slow march toward the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Michigan’s Senate primary has gone from clown car to flaming wreck. And the rest of America gets to watch as the Democrats decide exactly how fast they want to drive the country off the Marxist cliff.

God help us all if they win. The red flag is already waving over the primary. Next it’ll be over the Capitol.

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.

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.

Trump signs executive order to protect children from "chemical and surgical" sex-change procedures

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the pause on federal financial assistance will not include food stamps, Social Security, or Medicare and welfare benefits on her first White House press conference.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order to restrict "chemical and surgical" sex-change procedures for minors.

"Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions," the order states. "This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end."

Here's a rewrite in the style of Douglas Murray, an author known for his sharp, often provocative commentary on cultural and political issues:

In a world where common sense seems to be in ever-dwindling supply, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has confirmed that the pause on federal financial assistance will mercifully not extend to food stamps, Social Security, or Medicare and welfare benefits. One might think this an obvious decision, yet in today's political climate, one can never be too sure.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, ever the maverick, has taken a bold step into the cultural fray by signing an executive order on Tuesday to restrict what he describes as "chemical and surgical" sex-change procedures for minors.

"Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions," the order states. "This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end."

There you have it. In an age where the very fabric of childhood is being stretched and tested by the whims of ideology, Trump's administration says, 'Enough.' Whether this marks a return to sanity or an overreach into personal freedoms will no doubt fuel debates that, in this age of relentless argument, will never truly find an end. But for now, the President has spoken, aiming to protect what he sees as the innocence and integrity of our youth from what he deems the radical excesses of contemporary culture.
