The Department of Justice is reviewing possible steps to restrict firearms access for individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria, officials familiar with internal discussions told Newsmax exclusively Thursday. The gender dysphoria condition, recognized in medical literature, describes a deep conflict between a person's birth sex and their gender identity. DOJ officials say a recent series of shootings involving individuals reportedly struggling with gender identity has prompted the department to examine whether new safeguards are needed. A DOJ source told Newsmax that Democrats have long pressed for "common sense" gun control, adding: "This seems pretty common sense to me." According to the...

"Fr. Altier expresses deep sorrow for the recent tragedy in the Twin Cities, where two children were killed and others were wounded. He attributes the violence to the perpetrator’s mental illness, influenced by demonic forces, and criticizes societal acceptance of transgender identities, arguing that it leads to psychological harm and violence. He also blames the media for covering up the connection between transgender individuals and mass shootings. The issue of gender identity must be approached with compassion and understanding, while also upholding the truth of God’s creation of male and female. The current societal acceptance of multiple genders is a...

Surprising Study Shows Plant Protein Didn’t Extend Life — But Meat Might In A Nutshell * A study of nearly 16,000 U.S. adults found no link between animal protein intake and higher death risk from cancer, heart disease, or any cause. * Animal protein showed a modest protective effect against cancer deaths, with each gram linked to a 5% lower risk. * Plant protein showed no survival benefit in this dataset, despite previous studies suggesting advantages. * Results challenge a 2014 study that had claimed high animal protein dramatically increased cancer mortality. ============================================================================== HAMILTON, Ontario — Animal protein isn’t linked...

If you had any doubts about the true agenda of the “pro-Palestine” movement, just consider last weekend’s annual People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit. It was a gathering of martyrdom fetishists, Hamas supporters and antisemites, all bathing in an atmosphere of hate, rage and despair as they condemned Israel but reserved their deepest scorn for the United States. The focus was a kind of patriotism and love of country — for Palestine. No American flags were in sight, though a prominent “Glory to Our Martyrs” banner kept everyone mindful of their ultimate duty to the cause. Speakers vied to outdo...

The debate was interesting and the lines already drawn. Questions spanned from Underfunded Pensions to skyrocket energy Prices. What was the one platform that stood out and was only captured by ultimately the best performance of the night? I was pretty impressed by candidate Max Solomon. Distinctly impressive on the answers to the issues, his praise and reverence to our Commander and Chief Donald J. Trump was very evident and exciting to watch. Max Solomon a Legal Immigrant was a wonderful stunning example of what LEGAL immigrants offer this nation when they follow the rules and laws and come into...

VIDEOCongressman Jerome Nadler is finally retiring. Something he should have done many many years ago. However, despite his shameful ultraliberal record of woe, at least we can credit him with at least one redeeming act on his way out the door. He CORRECTLY labeled the Shmuck known as Jack Kennedy Schlossberg as a talentless loser. It doesn't completely redeem Nadler but we should thank him for publicly stating that more than obvious truth.

Senior officials at the U.S. Department of Justice have held multiple meetings in recent days to consider a possible federal ban of transgendered individuals from owning firearms, Breitbart News has learned. Multiple sources familiar with the matter, including one official inside the DOJ, confirmed to Breitbart News that the Office of Legal Council (OLC)—which advises the Attorney General on legal matters—has held several such meetings since the tragic shooting, allegedly by a transgendered individual, that killed 2 children at a Minneapolis Catholic school and injured 21 others.

The Trump administration announced Thursday that the agency that assesses whether immigrants should be granted green cards and citizenship will add its own law enforcement agents who can carry firearms and make arrests. The move is a major change for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, an agency that has been kept separate from immigration arrests and enforcing deportations. USCIS assesses applications and interviews immigrants seeking to legally remain in the country by getting green cards, becoming naturalized citizens or being approved for humanitarian programs. USCIS said in a statement Thursday that under the new rule, it will be authorized to...

Democratic Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia, in a hearing on Wednesday, told the room: The notion that rights don't come from laws, and don't come from the government, but come from the Creator... That's what the Iranian government believes... So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.

President Donald Trump has a new city in his sights after he threatened to send the National Guard into Chicago and Baltimore in the name of fighting crime and deporting undocumented immigrants. Trump has thus far targeted Democratic-run cities in Democratic-run states, but this time could be different, as the president eyes New Orleans — a Democratic-run “blue” city in the red state of Louisiana. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Wednesday, “So we’re making a determination now. Do we go to Chicago? Do we go to a place like New Orleans, where we have a great governor, Jeff...

Kennedy Jr. during a Thursday hearing from several people who say they’ve been left in the lurch, denied vaccines after recent CDC decisions to change recommendations. “I would say, effectively, we’re denying people vaccines,” Cassidy said after reading the messages from conservative radio host Erick Erickson and a friend of the Louisiana Republican, who is a doctor.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced that 22 Chinese nationals, four Chinese pharmaceutical companies, and three Americans had been arrested in what Patel referred to as an "unprecedented" operation. "We're done playing whack-a-mole," Patel said during a press conference in Cincinnati. "We didn't arrest a couple of people. We charged an enterprise-wide system in mainland China to include dozens of individuals and banks and companies that are responsible for making these lethal...

One of five new additions to Saturday Night Live’s Season 51 cast, “Kill Tony” regular Kam Patterson, publicly declared his support for Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election. In a stand-up set at the Improv comedy club last year, Patterson joked that Trump’s assassination attempt at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally was the only thing that convinced him to vote last fall. “I’m voting now dog, he got it,” Patterson says in a clip from around the time of the shooting last July, which killed one rally goer and injured two others. “They shot him… he was fine and walked...

LONDON — Authorities warned British citizens of widespread reports of a dangerous man loose on the streets, threatening to share an opinion. According to an official bulletin, the recently released Graham Linehan represented an urgent threat to public order, as he had not only come up with an idea not conforming to politically acceptable ideology all on his own, but also threatened to spread this idea by engaging others in reasonable civil discourse. "The suspect is about medium height, brown-haired, and radically free-thinking," the official police bulletin read. "Linehan, who we believe may be armed with a bullhorn or possibly...
