Can you judge people by the company they keep? Our post on ABC's 20/20 on "transgender children" led us to check out the doctor they quoted as recommending early hormonal intervention for children. Dr. Norman Spack is head of the new Gender Management Service Clinic at Children's Hospital Boston, unique in the country. Dr. Spack is also a trustee of Hebrew College in Newton. But look at the other company he keeps: Dr. Spack presented a workshop at a radical conference promoting total sexual freedom and dangerous perversions, "Transcending Boundaries", last November in Worcester. It was organized by transgender radicals...

President Trump Refused To Treat The Ukraine War Like A Sporting Event Clip of Trump Townhall

Billionaire LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island and had plans to stay at Epstein’s notorious Manhattan townhouse back in 2014.. Hoffman, 55, paid a single visit to Epstein’s Caribbean island Little St. James — also known as “pedophile island,” where Epstein and gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly abused underage girls, The Wall Street Journal reported. Joi Ito, the then-MIT Media Lab director, was also in attendance, and had asked Hoffman and Epstein to help him raise funds for MIT, ... The documents also detailed Hoffman’s plans to stay the night in Epstein’s townhouse following a late-night flight...

Shocking photos and videos show an alligator chilling on an Alabama beach in the Gulf of Mexico just feet away from beachgoers. In a post on Facebook, one man shared the grabs of the reptile in the large body of water, along with a short clip of the animal wading by the shore. 'The things you never think you'll see,' wrote Matt Harvill on Facebook. 'First time seeing a gator on Dauphin Island. Heading towards the west end be careful y'all.' Harvill said the alligator seemed curious more than anything but the video has some beachgoers spooked. Others, however, say...

As part of the NFL's release of schedules across the league, the Tennessee Titans produced two videos announcing who they would be facing. While their first one was a production chock full of cameos from former players and coaches, to WWE superstar Sheamus, to country music star Keith Urban, the second one focused on what people could not recognize. The Titans produced a second video asking passersby on Nashville's famous Lower Broadway to guess the names of each of their opponents for the upcoming season. A whole host of incorrect guesses from the somewhat close to the very far off...

As of midnight, Biden and Harris have now surrendered our US border with Mexico, throwing it open to whoever wants to cross over and invade the US.

Last year’s techwide reckoning continues. In 2023, layoffs have yet again cost tens of thousands of tech workers their jobs; this time, the workforce reductions have been driven by the biggest names in tech like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo and Zoom. Startups, too, have announced cuts across all sectors, from crypto to enterprise SaaS. The reasoning behind these workforce reductions follows a common script, citing the macroeconomic environment and a need to find discipline on a tumultuous path to profitability. Still, tracking the layoffs helps us to understand the impact on innovation, which companies are facing tough pressures and who...

A lot of parents have been sending their kids to religious schools in order to avoid the excesses of Leftist policies.Well, that was a mistake. Catholic universities are just as woke as any other, apparently. Despite the fact that even the liberal Pope has spoken out against transgender ideology, the academic bureaucracy at St. Thomas University in St. Paul is secretly putting trans students into single-sex dorms with women, even hiding their gender from their dormmates.They even give preferential housing choices if you claim to be trans. Nice.Director of Housing at @UofStThomasMN tells citizen journalist: “she could room with a...

CNN CEO Chris Licht must be thinking of Donald Trump, “I wish I knew how to quit you.” Licht has been trying and failing to turn around the troubled, little-watched news network, but so far has had little success as ratings continue to dwell in the cellar.Enter Former President Donald Trump, and BOOM—the ratings go through the roof and CNN beats rivals Fox News and MSNBC for the first time in seemingly ever. The numbers were yuge:Donald Trump’s town hall boosted CNN’s ratings to their highest in years, bringing in 3.3 million viewers in his 8pm slot last night. The...

Just when you think the roller coaster has stopped moving, it ratchets back up in speed to take the next loop. At least that’s how the legal wranglings between writer E. Jean Carroll and former President Donald Trump feel at the moment. As we previously reported, a federal jury awarded Carroll over $5 million, finding Trump “liable of battery and defamation.”Trump took the opportunity to address several issues on Wednesday evening at the town hall event CNN held in New Hampshire. And one of those issues he expounded on was both the alleged incident with Carroll at a New York...

The migrant crisis, which has been going on since shortly after President Joe Biden took office, is getting worse. Title 42, a provision that makes it easier for border authorities to turn away migrants coming to the southern border, is set to end on Friday, which has prompted thousands of people to travel to the border to try to make it into the United States.New York City, having already experienced a severe influx of migrants from Texas and Arizona, is struggling to accommodate each of the individuals being sent its way. Mayor Eric Adams has had a hard time figuring...

A federal judge on Thursday evening blocked the Biden administration from implementing a policy that allows for the release of migrants without court dates – just hours away from the end of the Title 42 public health order. Judge T. Kent Wetherell II imposed a two-week restraining order on the Biden administration policy with would see migrants released on "parole with conditions." The policy was outlined in a Border Patrol memo, which says that migrants can be allowed into the country on parole — a process typically reserved for "urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit" — if Customs and...

Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys on Thursday filed a notice to appeal the $5 million judgment awarded to E. Jean Carroll in her civil lawsuit against Trump. A nine-member jury on Tuesday found Trump liable for sexual battery and defaming Carroll and granted her an award of $5 million in damages. The jury awarded Carroll $2 million in damages for the sexual battery claim and $3 million for defamation. On Thursday afternoon, Trump’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, formally starting the appeal process after Trump previously indicated he would...

A bus carrying immigrants from Texas arrived at Vice President Kamala Harris’s residence hours before Title 42 was set to expire. The 30 men, women, and children arrived at the home of the vice president on Thursday morning and were received by the organization SAMU First Response and Mutual Aid. This bus was the second one to arrive at the Naval Observatory in under 24 hours. The first bus carried almost 40 people, according to NBC Washington. “Many on the bus told me they were from Venezuela,” a reporter for NBC News wrote on social media. "This morning, a group...

We admit that when we first heard that Tucker Carlson was abruptly taken off the air, we suspected it was somehow related to the Dominion settlement—either it was a term in the settlement, or the settlement resulted in Fox News no longer being willing to work with Mr. Carlson. Thus, what we are hearing today is not actually a total surprise (if it is true): BREAKING: Carlson was told by a member of the Fox board that he was taken off the air as part of the Dominion settlement, per Tucker's legal teamhttps://t.co/rcFBEH6Xhk — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) May 9,...

The head of U.S. Border Patrol has sent out a memo authorizing the release of illegal migrants into the U.S. without court dates if agents face overcrowding as the Biden administration scrambles to deal with a historic surge in migration at the border ahead of the end of Title 42. The memo says that migrants can be allowed into the country on parole — a process typically reserved for “urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit” — if Customs and Border Protection (CBP) faces overcrowding. The memo calls the practice “parole with conditions” as migrants are required to make an...

What will President Biden do if his son is indicted by the federal prosecutor in Delaware? That’s one of three questions looming over U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ fateful choice. The second is whether the indictment will go after a larger, coordinated family scheme of influence peddling or confine itself to smaller, tightly-confined issues like lying to get a gun permit and not registering as a foreign lobbyist. The third is whether Attorney General Merrick Garland will approve Weiss’ proposed charges. Significant political calculations follow from those decisions. It’s easy enough to answer what Garland will do. He has little choice...
