A troubled teenage girl who was provided drugs to transition into a man after an hour-long consultation at a 'gender clinic' is now fighting to reclaim her adult life as a woman.

Tanya's devastated mum Judith Hunter blames sections of the transgender community for bending her daughter's fragile mind to suit their agenda. Ms Hunter told Daily Mail Australia...

A future ex-lawyer named Michael Sussmann is going to trial next week for his role in feeding the FBI bogus Russian collusion stories. Those stories are scurrilous and vulgar lies which distracted the nation and the Trump administration for years and for which someone should be held accountable. But Sussmann was not the person who manufactured those lies. He was just the bag man who passed them on to the FBI. And so those lies are not what Sussmann has been charged with. He’s been charged with a more pedestrian lie – the lie of telling the FBI he was...

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) Thursday on MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports” called for federal regulations to monitor social media so people can’t be “hatefully radicalized to harm our democracy.” When asked about the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 riot, Gillibrand said, “What we have seen is the radicalization and the growing extremism, anti-Semitism, white supremacists, neo-Nazis. This group, the insurrectionists on January 6, tried to take down the United States Capitol and tries to subvert our electoral counts process. So it is an outrage this happened in America. And it is the responsibility of this House committee and...

WASHINGTON—This afternoon, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called President Biden to ask what happened with the aid package he received. Zelenskyy explained that the purchasing power of the $40 Billion in aid that Congress sent a few hours ago had already depleted to $30 Billion due to runaway inflation of the US dollar. “That can’t be right, President Zelenskyy—can you refresh your browser and try again?” said a confused Biden to Zelenskyy over the phone. “How’s that? It lost $10 Billion—with a ‘B’?? How's that possible, man? It must be Russian interference! Russia and ultra-MAGA! They've sabotaged the transaction!” Aides tried to...

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine set off a flurry of handwringing over Taiwan. Russia, in this interpretation, “broke the ice” by attacking Ukraine, emboldening China versus Taiwan. But any such action by China would likely run into a similar buzzsaw of resistance, while lacking Russian advantages such as access to overland transit. Ukraine is not Taiwan, and regardless of what Chinese leadership thinks they are learning about the benefits of naked aggression, the PLA lacks the necessary power projection and sustainment capability and capacity to execute an opposed occupation of a densely urbanized island packed with citizens who have no interest...

VIDEOI was at my local Walmart in Broward County, FL when I remembered the words of Brian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane radio show, when he said that a lot of people are now checking the baby formula shelves at stores even if they have no children. With that in mind I got curious when I saw the Baby section so I just had to check for myself. Result: NO liquid baby formula at all and a lot of the powder was gone too. It will be interesting to see how soon the liquid baby formula will be back...
