Data show that insofar as sexually confused adolescents go, upwards of 80 percent of girls and more than 90 percent of boys will outgrow their “gender dysphoria” — if left alone.

Last month, Google announced a massive planned acquisition of the cybersecurity firm, Mandiant. The $5.4 billion purchase comes as part of a concerted effort on Google’s part to better protect its customers. More specifically, the acquisition will be targeted at both growing and securing Google’s cloud services. Given the recent hacks of U.S. government agencies and critical infrastructure, it is more important for large companies like Google to strengthen their cybersecurity than ever before. Unfortunately, new, aggressive antitrust regulators at the Department of Justice have already announced a probe into the merger. Further, a number of proposals currently in the...

Georgia investigators have signaled their focus in a wide-ranging investigation into alleged illegal ballot trafficking during the 2020 election with subpoenas that target the possible source of funding for such an operation and any eyewitness participants. The four subpoenas obtained Monday by Just the News through an open records request show the State Elections Board and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger want the identity of any suspected participants in ballot harvesting, including a whistleblower identified only as John Doe who an election watchdog claims admitted to gathering ballots for cash. The document demands were delivered late last week to the...

There really is an all-out war on our children (or, if you’re older, your grandchildren or even great-grandchildren). We can hardly overstate it and we dare not ignore it. This is what is happening to the next generation today. They are being slaughtered in the womb. They are being kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. They are being raped and abused and neglected and used. They are being brainwashed by their teachers and bullied by their peers. They are lost and lonely, depressed and suicidal. They cut themselves and kill themselves. Their innocence is being robbed and their security is...

The Ukrainian central bank is now prohibiting citizens from purchasing bitcoin with the local fiat currency, the hryvnia (UAH), as it attempts to curb capital outflows under martial law.Under the new rules, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) is also limiting the amount of cryptocurrency people can buy with foreign currencies – an equivalent of UAH 100,000 (about $3,390) per month.

The Biden administration unveiled a plan Tuesday that will allocate $145 million to developing "reentry plans" for incarcerated persons, which would connect them to resources, such as jobs, housing and loans upon being released. The plan is the latest Biden initiative to tackle criminal justice reform that the president made part of his 2020 presidential campaign. "Formerly incarcerated persons are an underutilized talent pool despite employers attesting that formerly incarcerated persons are often some of their best and most dedicated employees," the statement said. The proposal advises employers to reevaluate their interviewing, hiring, onboarding and retention processes to better include...

Back To The Future, Eyes Wide Shut and True Lies are fine examples of cinematic oxymorons - film titles which contradict themselves. And joining them last night was Downton Abbey: A New Era, which predictably plunges us straight back into Downton Abbey, the old era. Downton’s creator Julian Fellowes did not get where he is today (the House of Lords, for starters) by denying his fans what they expect. So the new film, the second big-screen spin-off after 2019’s Downton Abbey, positively bursts with all our favourite ingredients, not least the Dowager Countess of Grantham (Dame Maggie Smith) firing acid...

The U.S. Air Force now has 57 new, high tech refueling tankers with more in the proverbial pipeline to replace its aging fleet of Eisenhower-era tankers. While tankers don’t generally capture the headlines, without a capable tanker to do mid-air refueling, the reach of our military’s bombers, fighters, and reconnaissance planes are cut dramatically. Simply put, tankers allow America’s warfighters to stay in the air and on target longer and without making extra trips back to the home base to refuel. And the KC-46 is operating right now refueling military aircraft over Poland and Germany that are protecting NATO as...

U.S. Rep. Ted Budd, a Republican backed by former President Donald Trump in North Carolina’s Senate race, is pulling ahead of other GOP candidates in the polls for retiring Sen. Richard Burr’s seat. The Raleigh News & Observer reported Sunday that Budd, a Davie County native, is leading by the double digits in the polls ahead of former Gov. Pat McCrory, former U.S. Rep. Mark Walker and political newcomer Marjorie Eastman. He has skipped debates, strategizing to instead rely on campaign events and millions of dollars in advertisements to resonate with voters and secure the party ticket. The influential conservative...

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) is set to take part in a fundraiser for Jennifer Strahan, who’s challenging Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) in a GOP primary early next month. According to a flier first obtained by Punchbowl News, Cassidy will attend a reception for Strahan hosted by the Republican women’s group VIEW PAC on May 3.

Special Counsel John Durham just filed this motion in response to the efforts of Hillary for America, Fusion GPS, et al. to keep secret (by use of the attorney-client and work product privileges) communications involving Fusion GPS. You can read it here. Durham states the “purported privilege holders who have intervened do so in a case in which the defendant has denied representing any client when he brought the Russian Bank-1 allegations to the FBI.” The privilege controversy thus entrapped Sussmann to a certain extent. Brilliant. Additionally, Durham casts doubt on the declaration of Marc Elias that Fusion GPS was...

Few pastors have influenced global church culture as much as Brian Houston. Hillsong, a church movement which he founded in the 1980s, has produced worship music that is sung Sunday to Sunday in churches across the world. For decades many pastors and ministry leaders have looked up to Houston as an example of how to successfully engage culture and reach many with the gospel. All of that admiration came tumbling down recently when news emerged about his mishandling of a sexual abuse case—involving his father—and possible sexual indiscretions with other women. To the shock of many this year he stepped...

For the most part, financial services companies erect employee bonus systems for one reason and one reason only: to maximize shareholder profits. However, a strange new occurrence is afoot in the financial services sector, wherein companies are no longer concerned with maximizing shareholder value—which is their fiduciary responsibility and reason for being—because they are more interested in lining their own pockets by aligning themselves with the latest woke investment scheme known as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores. Take Mastercard for example, which recently announced it will begin “linking employee compensation to ESG goals.” According to Mastercard CEO Michael Miebach,...

When it comes to so-called black people, there's one inescapable truth, and it is that they exist to be victims. Their self-esteem may be found in melanin, but they find their value in claiming the highest rung of immiseration. Those who identify as such may contest what I've just said, but they cannot disprove it by their behavior and hebephrenic emotional adherence to same. In brief, those I reference live their lives as victims. Victimology is the agreed upon mentality that gives valuation to their existence. Heaven forbid anyone dares to say the lid that covers the trash can of...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill passed by the Republican-majority legislature that revokes a special tax exemption and other privileges for Walt Disney World in Orlando. This was in response to the company's current leadership and some of its employees who have protested another bill signed by the governor that prohibits the teaching of gender issues in kindergarten through third grade. Activists and the media have mislabeled it the "Don't Say Gay" bill, though the word "gay" appears nowhere in the legislation. Walt Disney World was given tax breaks and was extended other privileges nearly 50 years ago...

I like many Freepers are delighted in Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter. I hope he cleans house as soon as he is able and turns it into a free speech forum where all can participate. It is safe to say that 90 percent of Twitter employees despise Elon Musk. It follows logically that many of them will leave twitter. Prior to their exit I believe many will sabotage the software, database and servers. Since they have expert knowledge of the system they can put in bugs that will be very difficult to detect. Also they can put in backdoors allowing...

Last December, Joe Biden warned of a winter of doom, a plague of Biblical proportions and just as Moses hoisted a brass serpent mounted to a pole, Biden declared that we must look to “the science” and to the great Fauci—the ubiquitous state demanded obedience to the COVID gods. Biden, and statists like him always demand a religious fealty to bureaucracy. COVID and every other crisis are just goads designed to prod us into a cold, seamless line. “We are looking at a winter of severe illness and death for the unvaccinated,” Biden gravely warned America on Thursday, December 16,...

The Wisconsin city of Kenosha is reportedly weighing if it should build a memorial to one of the men who was shot dead by Kyle Rittenhouse during the August 2020 riots. Aldermen late Monday began considering a proposal to memorialize Anthony Huber with a tree and plaque in the city’s Anderson Park, according to The Daily Mail. The news outlet reported that Huber’s girlfriend, Hannah Gitting, put forward a motion for the memorial and that she would be responsible for the upkeep of the memorial if the city moves forward. Huber, a 26-year-old who had a prison record and reportedly...
