Ohio can’t keep refusing to allow people to change the gender listings on their birth certificates, a federal court ruled Wednesday. In response to a lawsuit brought by four transgender people, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio found Ohio’s birth certificate rule imposed by the state Department of Health and the Office of Vital Statistics is unconstitutional. The state was weighing an appeal. Judge Michael Watson rejected the state of Ohio’s arguments that the policy helped prevent fraud and maintain a historically accurate record of its citizenry. He called such justifications “nothing more than thinly veiled...

The state legislature recently passed a bill that will allow transgender individuals to receive a new birth certificate, something advocates said will help transgender people acquire documentation in alignment with their identity. Senate Bill 657, sponsored by Sen. Jennifer Boysko, D-Fairfax, will allow a person to receive a new birth certificate to reflect the change of sex without the requirement of surgery. The individual seeking a new birth certificate also may list a new name if they provide a certified copy of a court order of the name change. The bill requires proof from a health care provider that the...

During the second half of his “Freedom Friday” show on May 31, co-host Carl Gallups reiterated the theme with which he ended the previous segment: that President Trump is in possession of evidence gleaned from a 5+-year investigation into the “long-form” birth certificate image said to represent Barack Hussein Obama’s original birth record showing that it is a “computer-generated forgery” and that “high-level meetings” are being held on the subject.

In the feverish heyday of the “birther movement,” conspiracy-hungry readers swarmed to a website called WorldNetDaily for the latest on the specious yet viral theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. The site’s founder, Joseph Farah — a former newspaperman with a dense, jet-black mustache and a cloak-and-dagger mystique — boasted in 2010 that he was well on the way to generating $10 million a year in revenue. His Northern Virginia-headquartered news site, known by the acronym WND, was having its moment by stoking rumors about Obama. But Farah — a conservative Internet pioneer who’d...

A decision about whether to prosecute Mr. Craig, who was White House counsel for President Barack Obama during his first year in office, is expected in the coming weeks, people familiar with the case said. The investigation centers on whether Mr. Craig should have disclosed work he did in 2012 — while he was a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom — on behalf of the Russia-aligned government of Viktor F. Yanukovych, then the president of Ukraine. The work was steered to Mr. Craig by Paul Manafort, who was then a political consultant collecting millions of dollars from...

New Jersey made history this month by becoming the fourth state in the nation to create an alternative option on its birth certificates beyond male and female. Starting Feb. 1, there is a new category on birth certificates -- "undesignated/ non-binary" -- also known as Gender X. The change is part of the newly-enacted "Babs Siperstein Law," which streamlines the process for transgender residents to change the gender on their New Jersey birth certificates. Unlike in the past, people do not need to have gender-reassignment surgery to amend the document. Now, anyone can switch the gender on their birth certificate...

(Feb. 13, 2019) — Last week, while referencing the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, formerly the Oversight & Government Reform Committee, The Post & Email noted that Chairman Elijah Cummings has invited the public to submit tips on “waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars.” On Wednesday, we sent the following regarding the reported “computer-generated forgery” evidenced by a “long-form” birth certificate image posted on the White House website on April 27, 2011 after much public pressure from then-businessman and real estate mogul Donald Trump. To the public’s knowledge, neither the FBI nor Congress has launched an investigation into...

Last night, Jerome Corsi explained to Tucker Carlson and his audience how the Mueller team was able to charge him with lying to them in order to pressure him to (in his view) to give false testimony implicating Paul Manafort. It is a harrowing tale as he tells it. If you believe him, he is a victim of a ruthless team that took possession of his computer, smart phone, and other records, and then spent hours grilling him over details of his communications years earlier. When he failed to remember that he forwarded one email, they had him on a...

Former First Lady Michelle Obama reveals in her upcoming memoir that she vowed never to forgive President Donald Trump for questioning her husband’s birth certificate. “Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And for this I’d never forgive him,” she wrote in her book, according to the Washington Post. Trump famously challenged Obama’s birth certificate until the president released a copy of his long-form document in April 2011 at a press conference.

Full Title: TRUMP WARNS OBAMA Something Big Is About to Drop: “I’ll Never Forgive Him…” For Something That Is About to Be Revealed President Trump was asked about the former First Lady’s attacks. He hit back twice as hard — Saying he will never forgive her husband for letting down the military. Then President Trump shot a warning at the Obamas. Something BIG is about to be revealed.

President Donald Trump slammed his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, hours after it was reported that the former First Lady Michelle Obama criticized Trump in her upcoming memoir for his years touting the conspiracy that Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. The Washington Post, on Friday, published an excerpt of Michelle Obama’s soon-to-be-released memoir Becoming. In it, she bashed Trump — saying she’ll never forgive Trump for his birtherism. "What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and...

Book by wife of ex-U.S. president details ups and downs of marriage, political life

Former first lady Michelle Obama says she can never forgive President Donald Trump for spreading rumors that her husband was not born in America, according to excerpts from her upcoming book that was obtained by The Washington Post. In her new memoir, "Becoming," Obama reportedly derides the so-called "birther" conspiracy as thinly-veiled racism. “The whole thing was crazy and mean-spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed,” reads an excerpt, according to the report. “But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks.”

The debate over how to sift out illegal voters from legal ones has reached the federal appeals court level, making it possible the Supreme Court eventually will rule whether a state can demand a birth certificate to register to vote. The case before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver centers on a 2011 Kansas law, the Documentary Proof of Citizenship (DPOC). In June, a district court judge struck down the law, with biting criticism of analysts who contend a large number of noncitizens nationwide vote illegally, tilting close elections to Democrats. Judge Julia A. Robinson said the Kansas...

"Now, three years ago, I visited Kenya as the first sitting American president to come from Kenya." I have no idea how that simple statement can be misconstrued.

56:30 Carl Gallups: We were told by the guy (Dennis Montgomery) that invented the (CIA) software…that elections can be shifted around by our own government... and made to look like the Russians did it! …this was before Trump even ran for president. …and what’s the first thing we heard after the election? That the Russians did it!

Dan Pfeiffer, former assistant and senior adviser to President Barack Obama, thinks he knows the exact date the modern era of fake news was born: April 27, 2011. “I had walked into the briefing room that morning with 50 copies of Barack Obama’s birth certificate,” Pfeiffer recalls in a memoir, “Yes We (Still) Can: Politics in the Age of Obama, Twitter, and Trump,” set to be published next week. “So we could prove once and for all the man who was in his third year as president after winning an historic electoral landslide was an American citizen and eligible to...

According to ancient Hawaiian tradition, the quickest way to APPEASE PELE and have the volcanic fires stop is to make a human sacrifice into her fires, and according to tradition, that needs to be a celebrated leader who was born in Hawaii and held a position of power for 8 years. Obama quickly announced today he was actually born in Kenya and has the Birth Certificate to prove it.

Zullo: 52:40 The president demanded that the DOJ open up an investigation . That must have unnerved people that deal with this birth certificate issue because all of a sudden my email inbox started to blow up. I got emails from the Italian corporation that did the analysis for us that people were engaging then challenging the finding, trying to get the work product, the professional report that we have not released yet, get copies, people making contact with me challenging our finding and trying to make arrangements to meet with me was most incredible. They hit me with information...

Melania Trump deserves no sympathy during scandals concerning the Trump administration because she is a birther, according to The View co-host Joy Behar. The comments were made on Wednesday’s broadcast of the show while the panel was discussing the recent scandal involving Donald Trump and porn star Stormy Daniels. Daniels and the president are engaged in a current legal battle over an alleged affair. The segment opened with the hosts roundly supporting Melania Trump and what she may be going through with her husband, saying the matter should be kept private. The panel called the First Lady “lovely” and “a...
