Where moonbats have been allowed to dominate it, education is not about education; it is about moonbattery. This includes introducing prepubescent children to sexual depravity: A Maryland middle school presented a slideshow to 6th graders celebrating “Transgender Awareness Week” where the children were given a lesson that included “advice for coming out” and “8 tips for being nonbinary.” This time it isn’t Baltimore but Bethesda. Westland Middle School is a public school financed by taxpayers. Indoctrination included “a video that was produced by the LGBT educational resource provider Pop’n’Olly.” In no sane world would an “LGBT educational resource provider” be...

Teams from two Islamic countries playing in one of America’s wokest cities on the anniversary of Stonewall – what could go wrong?FIFA looks set to face its first major scandal of the 2026 World Cup – if you don’t count the exorbitant cost of the tickets, that is.

As the artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing industries explode, trained STEM professionals are in high demand. Mathematics is foundational to these fields.But mathematics is missing an important ingredient: people who are female or gender-diverse. In New South Wales, for example, only one-third of high school graduates who complete mathematics at the highest level are female or gender-diverse. And when students choose university courses in December, a large proportion of these highly qualified people will step away from mathematics and STEM.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) highlighted how he wanted “to see” transgender children, and that there is “no governor that’s done more pro-trans legislation” than he has. During an interview on an episode of The Ezra Klein Show, with New York Times columnist Ezra Klein, Newsom described President Donald Trump as being “One of the most destructive presidents and human beings” in Newsom’s lifetime. […] “We didn’t get into trans sports. That’s an issue no one wants to hear about because 80 percent of the people listening disagree with my position on this,” Newsom shared. “But it comes from my...

A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday cleared the way for President Donald Trump’s ban on military service by individuals who identify as transgender or have gender dysphoria, staying a lower-court order that blocked War Secretary Pete Hegseth from enforcing the policy. The 2–1 decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit sharply rebuked U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, concluding that her ruling in March overrode military judgment and applied a standard of review the courts are not entitled to use when second-guessing force-readiness decisions.

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge has permanently ordered Georgia’s prison system to keep providing some kinds of gender-affirming care for transgender prisoners, although the state plans to appeal. U.S. District Judge Victoria Marie Calvert last week ruled that a new state law denying hormone therapy to inmates violated their protection against cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. She ordered the state to keep providing hormones to inmates who had been receiving therapy and to allow others medically diagnosed as needing hormone therapy to begin receiving treatment. “The court finds that there is no...

Conservative political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos recently expressed regret for "mainstreaming homosexuality in the Republican Party" a decade ago, and claimed hidden homosexuality is rampant in conservative political circles. Yiannopoulos, who reached the peak of his fame around the 2016 presidential campaign as a provocative, outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, also claimed that therapy and his Christian faith have helped him move away from the homosexual addiction that once consumed his life. "I have to be honest with you, I bear some responsibility for this because it was me, 10 years ago — mainstreaming homosexuality in...

Doctors have admitted to performing “non-standard” gender-affirming procedures on youngsters and sometimes base treatment purely on cosmetic goals — as they see a spike in patients seeking out “nonbinary” surgeries. The medical professionals copped to sometimes even performing the life-altering procedures with little to no assessment of an individual’s mental health or gender identity, newly emerged videos obtained by The Free Press show. The recordings, some of which have been made at closed-door medical conferences in the US within the last few years, captured clinicians openly discussing how they were trying to fulfill a patients’ desires — even if it...

Reverend Phil Phaneuf, 51, who was born male, shared that she has been undergoing a gender transition with her congregation at North Chili United Methodist Church (UMC) during Sunday service.

'The best way to put this is that I'm not becoming a woman,...

Despite his name and his demands that the rest of us play pretend along with him, Danielle Mittereder is a man. Or at very least, he is a male. Despite his delusions and fantasies, or more likely in this age of absurdity, because of them, Danielle Mittereder is also a TSA agent.Since Mittereder’s bosses at the Transportation Security Administration are aware that the name of the agency is not the Transgender Security Administration, and because they also know that Danielle Mittereder is really a man, they don’t allow him to pat down women. And now the enraged Mittereder is suing...

Gov. Greg Abbott originally called for the removal of rainbow crosswalks and other symbols of pride from public roads across Texas on Oct. 8, saying they pose safety concerns and misuse taxpayer dollars. In a statement, Abbott said any city that does not comply within 30 days could risk the “withholding or denial of state and federal road funding and suspension of agreements with TxDOT.” Almost a month later, the City of Dallas has submitted a request for an exception from compliance with the standards outlined in the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) October letter. "The City of Dallas installs...

A Maryland mayor’s decision to eliminate the city’s only rainbow crosswalks has become the latest flash point in a nationwide campaign to strip LGBTQ+ symbols from public spaces. The Salisbury crosswalks, installed in 2018 and repainted each year by volunteers, were removed on November 11 after Salisbury Mayor Randy Taylor ordered crews to mill away the paint at dawn, The Washington Post reports. Taylor, who narrowly won office in 2023, said the city must ensure “neutrality” on government property.

Madonna issued a blistering rebuke of Donald Trump after he moved to end the United States' official acknowledgement of World AIDS Day, a global day of remembrance and awareness recognized every year since 1988. On Monday, the singer and prominent LGBTQ+ ally, 67, took to Instagram with a solemn black-and-white video and a series of stark text slides, slamming Trump's directive as 'ridiculous,' 'absurd,' and 'unthinkable' while urging her fans to continue honoring those affected by HIV/AIDS. 'Today is World AIDS Day. For four decades, this day has been internationally recognized around the world by people from all walks of...

For the first time since 1988, the US government will no longer commemorate World Aids Day, according to reports. The state department has directed its employees and grant recipients not to use US government funds to mark the event – which falls annually on 1 December – and not to promote the day publicly. The news was first reported by the journalist Emily Bass and confirmed in an email viewed by the New York Times. Employees and grantees could still “tout the work” on Aids being done through various programs “to counter this dangerous disease and other infectious diseases around...
