According to flyers at Pepperdine University, opposing the transgender agenda is the equivalent of genocide, comparable to Nazi Germany. In the same week that a transgender shooter killed students and faculty at The Covenant Christian school in Nashville, activists at the college called out those who question trans acceptance.As many news outlets rallied around the transgender community, claiming they were being scapegoated after the attack, institutions including the White House itself celebrated Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31. Despite all this institutional support, activists on campus are claiming that a genocide is on the horizon."Sometime between Mar. 27-28, a...

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for president on Wednesday, becoming the second House Republican to throw their support behind the Florida governor — even though he has not launched a campaign for the White House. In a statement released by the Never Back Down super PAC, which is supporting a DeSantis presidential bid, Massie called the Florida governor “a proven energetic leader.” “America needs a leader who is decisive, respects the Constitution, understands policy, puts family first, and leads by inspiring,” Massie said. “That’s why I’m endorsing Ron DeSantis for President.” “If we make the...

China views public relations as an asymmetric weapon it can use to put other nations’ governments into conflict with their respective militaries. Its strategy is to have the Ministry of Foreign Affairs extend a generous economic carrot of trade agreements and infrastructure pledges, while the PLA wields an ever-present, ever-more-capable military stick. In addition, China has established itself as the indispensable economic heavyweight in terms of its ability to rapidly and efficiently fund infrastructure and development projects around the world, seemingly with few strings attached. Nations and their respective populations are told they can share in the economic growth that...

Former Vice President Mike Pence will not appeal a federal judge’s order that he testify in the special counsel’s probe of former President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, his adviser announced Wednesday. The decision not to fight the order could provide special counsel Jack Smith with remarkable access to one of the key people with critical insight into Trump’s thinking and efforts to cling to power. Last week, Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, largely dismissed efforts mounted by Pence and Trump to limit his testimony and avoid...

On Tuesday, my peers and I at William & Mary university hosted a table on behalf of our Tribe for Life campus club that took on what we consider some of the lies that pro-choicers tell. We set up a big sign, handed out brochures, and had conversations with students about those lies, which we argue are that: men can have babies, Planned Parenthood cares about women, chemical abortions are safe, and women need abortions to succeed. The three hours we spent on campus that afternoon were mostly uneventful, and perhaps that’s because we had security officers present due to...

Two key proteins linked to cell division can reliably predict disease recurrence in prostate cancer after radiotherapy treatment, according to new research. Using an inexpensive and widely available technique in the clinic, the researchers evaluated a range of proteins in prostate tumor biopsies and determined that the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and geminin proteins are key markers associated with cancer relapse after radiotherapy. The team reported that patients with tumors showing loss of PTEN were almost three times more likely to experience recurrence than those with 'normal' PTEN. Similarly, the data showed a 70 percent increase in the likelihood...

A marketing expert has slammed Bud Light over their controversial decision to use a transgender influencer for their latest campaign – which sparked so much fury Kid Rock took out several cases with an automatic gun. Poll DID BUD LIGHT MAKE A MISTAKE? Yes No The pro-Trump singer, wearing a MAGA hat, said he wanted to send a 'clear and concise' message after discovering trans content creator Dylan Mulvaney was working with the beer company. Mulvaney, 26, announced the partnership in a series of videos posted to social media at the weekend to coincide with the NCAA March Madness tournament....

The three Florida teens whose bullet-riddled bodies were found abandoned in separate places last week were all friends and their deaths may be connected to a “wannabe gang,” Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods revealed Tuesday. The new details emerged as the tiny community of Ocklawaha, Florida, has continued to reel since the teens’ slaying—with “crazy rumors” spreading about a potential serial killer, despite repeated assurances from authorities the teens were shot dead in an isolated incident.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court election on Tuesday saw record-high voter turnout for a spring election not coinciding with a presidential race, Fox News reported. “Over 36 percent of eligible Wisconsin voters participated in the highly-anticipated election, surpassing the previous high of 34 percent set in the 2011 state Supreme Court race,” according to the report. “…Over 1.7 million Wisconsin voters participated in the Tuesday election — surpassing the approximately 1.6 million voters who took part in the 2011 election, which elected Justice David Prosser.” Democrat Janet Protasiewicz secured a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court over Republican Daniel Kelly, giving...

Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed Belarus counterpart Alexander Lukashenko to Moscow on Wednesday for two days of talks, but in their opening public remarks both men steered clear of the war in Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said last week the two leaders would discuss Lukashenko's call for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine. Last month Putin said Russia would deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. "I must say that we have done a lot as a result of our joint work in all areas," Putin told Lukashenko in comments broadcast by state television.

A nearly century-old law banning abortion in Michigan was repealed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) on Wednesday. The 1931 law banned abortion, with no exceptions for rape or incest, and called for the prosecution of reproductive care providers. “Today, we’re going to take action to ensure that our statutes, our laws reflect our values and our constitution,” Whitmer said during a signing ceremony. “This is a long overdue step and it proves that when we keep fighting to protect everyone’s ability to make their own decisions about their bodies, we can win.” The law remained unenforced for decades after the...

Embattled CNN host Don Lemon landed in hot water earlier this year for making a disparaging comment about women, but it wasn't the first time he's acted out in the workplace, according to a new report. A bombshell report in Variety Wednesday made scandalous allegations about the anchor’s past, such as sending threatening text messages to a colleague and repeatedly exhibiting misogynistic and "diva-like" behavior, but CNN has downplayed the claims as "patently false anecdotes." In 2008, Lemon co-anchored weekend CNN show "Live From" alongside Kyra Phillips, where he had what Variety called "concerning" antipathy with his female colleague. "For...

Ninety years ago, Franklin Roosevelt told Americans they had less than a month to hand over their gold or face up to ten years in prison. December 7, 1941 will forever be remembered as, in the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, “a date that will live in infamy.” Another infamous date is April 5, 1933—the day that FDR ordered the seizure of the private gold holdings of the American people. By attacking innocent citizens, he bombed the country’s gold standard just as surely as Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. On this 90th anniversary of the seizure, it behooves us to recall...

By 2019, prior to COVID, life expectancy in the U.S. had fallen relative to that in the other countries so much that 500,000 Americans were dying each year in excess of the death rates of the citizens of those other countries. To exclude poverty as a factor in these numbers, a study looked at the health of privileged Americans—specifically, white citizens living in counties that are in the top one percent and the top five percent in terms of income. This high income population had better health outcomes than other U.S. citizens, but it still had worse outcomes than average...

To all my Jewish brethren, who are by now applying hand lotion to hands rubbed raw cleaning for Passover, I convey my sincerest wishes for a happy and kosher Passover!

A Stumbling Joe Biden Policies pursued by the Biden regime continue to be de facto gifts to the Chinese Communist Party because those actions have been undermining US national security, foreign policy, the economy, and society in general since January 2021. Could this all be by design? Is Joe Biden a real-life “Manchurian Candidate” acting in service of his masters in Beijing? While this is a seemingly far-fetched notion, would Biden’s actions be any different if he was in fact a bona fide Manchurian candidate controlled by the CCP? Let us explore the issue. WHAT IS A MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE? A...

Chinese Ambassador to the European Union, Fu Cong, has confirmed that China will not recognize the Ukrainian territories taken over by Russia during its military operation in Ukraine. “China does not recognize Crimea as Russian, as well as other territories of Ukraine that became part of the Russian Federation,” he emphasized. According to Cong, the statement about “boundless friendship” between China and Russia is merely a “rhetorical device, nothing more.” Recently, Chinese leader Xi Jinping traveled to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and discuss issues of shared concern, including the Ukraine-Russia war. Cong underscored that China “does...

“Bradlee Dean is a hater, a bigot and a liar; it has nothing to do with the kids…” Oh, my friends, I cannot even begin to tell you about how revealing the sodomites have been about their abominable agenda.

Do you remember Furbies? They were the hottest, creepiest toy of 1998. People got in literal fist fights over them in retailers across the United States. In some ways, the impish robots were an early version of AI. Their programming allowed them to learn some basic patterns of their owners, and their sensors allowed them to develop new behaviors over time, and even pick up English phrases like a parrot. The early internet was full of jokes about Furbies being our new robot overlords. Many of the Furbies were destroyed in Youtube videos to stop their imminent takeover. Now that...
