Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro interviewed Dr. Eithan Haim, the whistleblower for the bombshell story about secretive transgender surgeries for minors at the Texas Children’s Hospital, who was hit with targeted harassment by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice. As The Daily Wire reported, Haim said for him the story all started in September 2022, when he saw The Daily Wire’s investigation of Vanderbilt University’s transgender clinic, where so-called “gender-affirming” care for minors was described as a “big money maker” and irreversible treatments such as double mastectomies were being performed on children.” He then learned that the hospital where...

Diagnoses of “gender dysphoria” rose in every state except one over the last several years. South Dakota was the only state that did not see a rise in gender dysphoria diagnoses between 2018 and 2022, according to new data from Definitive Healthcare. In fact, South Dakota saw a 23% decrease in gender dysphoria diagnoses, while every other state saw their diagnoses rise by at least 6%. Last year, South Dakota restricted transgender medical interventions for minors. At least 23 states have similar bans, but they are only currently in effect in 14 states. South Dakota lawmakers also pushed for such...

CV NEWS FEED // Six Republican senators penned a Thursday letter to the Biden Health and Human Services Department against a proposed rule that seeks to force potential foster parents to comply with the LGBTQ movement. “We write to express our profound concerns regarding the notice of proposed rulemaking … which would impose new mandates on states that would narrow the pool of eligible foster families for children,” wrote Sen. Roger Marshall, R-KS, and five of his Republican colleagues in the letter addressed to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra: The premise of this proposal is that any...

How the political elites exploited Greta’s moral immaturity to impose their punishing eco-agenda.This week Greta Thunberg turned 21. Yes, the diminutive doom-monger is a full-on grown-up now. The pint-sized predictor of End Times has passed the final threshold of adulthood. Once the world’s best-known petulant teen, never knowingly appearing in public without wearing the scowl of the self-righteous youth, Ms Thunberg has reached the full age of majority. She’s so old she could legally get pissed in America if she wants. Though that seems unlikely, given she once said she ‘would never go out drinking’: ‘I would never do anything…...

The Deep State totalitarians such as John Kerry and Al Gore are coming out of the closet at the United Nations COP28 “climate” summit calling for censorship, global taxes, and much more, explains The New American magazine’s Alex Newman from the summit in this episode of Behind The Deep State. Biden and Western governments were continuing to make economically suicidal pledges that will destroy the United States, and leading globalists are claiming that nothing can stop them now. Finally, Alex shows how children are being exploited to advance this evil agenda.

A renowned zoologist has pleaded guilty to dozens of sickening charges including animal cruelty, bestiality and possession of child exploitation material. Darwin crocodile expert Adam Robert Corden Britton, 52, was unmasked as the serial animal abuser in the Northern Territory Supreme Court on Monday. His name had previously been suppressed from the public due to the depravity of his crimes, which threatened his right to a fair trial, the NT News reported.

According to the Guardian, despite rising numbers of human trafficking victims, prosecutions for the crime have steadily declined. Though there are an estimated 28 million trafficking victims at any given time, according to the U.S. Department of State, in 2015, there were only 19,000 prosecutions worldwide, and by 2022 that figure had declined by 4,000. Part of the problem could be the increasingly liberal, expansive abortion laws which play a part in covering up sex traffickers’ crimes. The issue of human trafficking becomes even more sinister when we consider the alarming intersection with trafficking and the absence of parental consent...

In a recent interview with Fox News, former transgender influencer and author Oli London discussed the pressing issue of pushing gender-affirming ideology onto young children. Here’s the whole story. Gender Madness London, who once identified as a Trans woman and underwent a gender transition, now stands as an advocate against the ideology he believes is harmful to children In his interview with “Fox & Friends First,” London said, “I’ve been through the transition process before.

This Nov. 2, Berry Norman is scheduled for sentencing on his guilty plea for illicit sexual conduct charges related to the trafficking of two Ohio minors (ages 14 and 15) which he met in the Cincinnati area and allegedly attempted to lure across state lines. As alleged in the complaint and article entitled, “New York man charged with luring minors from Cincinnati-area for sex work,” Norman “tried to get the two to have sex with men for money and live-stream sexual activities over the Internet…” Despite being published on April Fool’s Day, this title was no joke − it was...

A judge ruled on Tuesday that Georgia may resume enforcing its ban on hormone replacement therapy for transgender youth, putting the judge's previous order blocking the ban on hold. The ruling comes after a federal appeals court granted neighboring Alabama the ability to enforce a similar restriction last month and as GOP-led states across the country seek to prohibit gender transition treatment for people under 18-years-old. At least 22 states have enacted laws restricting or banning transgender treatment for minors and most of these states have been sued. Attorneys for the state of Georgia had asked Judge Sarah Geraghty to...

A "horrified" hospital employee at Kaiser Permanente leaked a sex change training for diversity, equity and inclusion, which promoted the idea that a 3-year-old can be transgender. "The employee, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of losing her job, was horrified," according to the Wednesday report from Libs of TikTok. As part of the hospital system's DEI training, medical employees were expected to watch a video with children explaining they knew they were transgender at age 3 and 4. "Many transgender people have ALWAYS known their true gender," the video said. "My name is Rose. I'm a transgender girl....

A grandmother is suing a Virginia school district and a public defender for allegedly hiding her 14-year-old granddaughter's gender transition from her and advocating for the teen to be put in a group home, actions she claims resulted in the child falling into the hands of sex traffickers on two occasions. Michele Blair is the grandmother of a teenager identified in court documents as "Sage," a female teenager who previously identified as a male but has since transitioned back to identifying as a female. Blair, alongside her husband, has served as the minor girl's legal guardian since the child was...

One of the nation's largest teachers unions in America has reportedly offered instruction to teachers on how to insert lessons on gender identity into classroom discussions, according to a right-leaning public policy institute. The Defense of Freedom Institute, founded by two former Trump administration Department of Education officials, released a report earlier this month describing the topics promoted by the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association. Before its Together Educating America's Children (TEACH) conference in July, DFI noted that AFT released a resolution on LGBT issues that touted "age-appropriate and inclusive" bathroom and locker room policies. In...

Police in California are calling on victims to come forward to assist a child pornography investigation into a San Jose Christian school system facility worker arrested for allegedly giving students money to send him explicit images and videos. Todd Baldwin, a 43-year-old employee at the Valley Christian Schools, was arrested last week and charged with felony possession and distribution of child sexual material. On Aug. 16, the Silicon Valley Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force's Child Exploit Detail was notified that a member of the facilities department at Valley Christian Schools was "in possession of explicit digital media of juveniles,"...

Sex-change surgeries carried out across US annually have nearly tripled in recent years, a study suggests. The number of gender-affirming operations nearly tripled from 2016 to 2019 before dropping slightly in 2020, according to research published Wednesday. The increase likely reflects expanded insurance coverage for transgender care after the Obama administration and some states actively discouraged discrimination based on gender identity, lead author Dr Jason Wright of Columbia University said. The dip in 2020 can be attributed to the pandemic. About 48,000 patients underwent such surgeries during the five years studied, with about 13,000 procedures done in 2019, the peak...

America’s Red GuardsThe communist history of using children to forward political goals.In August 1966, communist leader Mao Zedong commenced “Red August,” a campaign amidst the wider Cultural Revolution to wipe away the “Four Olds” of Chinese society: old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits. He infamously used university students, and other younger children, as foot soldiers to carry out mass beatings and destroy important cultural and historical institutions.The outsized rule of juveniles and young adults in the subsequent massacres perpetrated by the Red Guards was not at all unique. In Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge, children were also enlisted...

A California hospital executive and professor claimed children can identify as a mythology-inspired creature and claimed that this category of children love mermaids, according to a presentation reviewed by Fox News Digital.

(Photo by Alexandra Gorn on Unsplash) It’s shocking, though in no way overstated, to conclude that Americans today are living through a time of total spiritual warfare, when virtually all of the most contentious and consequential issues are neither political, ideological nor psychological. They are flat-out spiritual – good versus evil. There’s the early sexualization of innocent children in the nation’s public schools. And the mass-hysteria transgender craze that seduces mentally fragile teenagers into undergoing mutilating and irreversible surgeries. And the love affair with killing human babies in their mother’s womb. And the massive foreign invasion of America, purposefully engineered...

I’ve just experienced another attack on social media. The harassment on X, as Twitter now calls itself, usually lasts around 36 hours, and while most of the nasties are trolls and bots, I can’t pretend that the hundreds of comments don’t have an effect. I’m a priest, progressive, outspoken. No point in complaining. But a disturbing new aspect of these bombardments are the repeated and constant false accusations of pedophilia – not a libellous dribble, but a flood. It’s not really about me of course, and I’m in good company. Last month in Belleville, Ont., when Justin Trudeau was swarmed...

In a disturbing new declaration, UN expert Victor Madrigal-Borloz says religious freedom can only be tolerated if religious people fully embrace the globalist agenda, including radical LGBTQ+ ideology.The LGBTQ+ ideology the UN is pushing originates from a report issued earlier this year that calls for the decriminalization of sex between adults and minors.Madrigal-Borloz reported to the 53rd Session of the U.N. Human Rights Council that religious freedom can only exist if it is “compatible” with the LGBTQ+ agenda if Christians and other religious groups comply with radical far-left ideology.“Paying attention to the voices and practices of inclusive communities can help...
