TUCKER, Ga. — A transgender woman said a DeKalb County Police officer accosted her after she used the women’s restroom at Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library. The police department has opened an Internal Affairs investigation into the incident, according to a police spokesperson. “Because the investigation is ongoing, we are unable to share additional details at this time,” the spokesperson said. “The department remains dedicated to treating all members of our community with dignity, respect, and professionalism.”

When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted at former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines, “Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth,” it was more than a cheap shot. It was a window into what passes for feminism on the Left in 2025. In a post that went viral, I responded, “Imagine hating another woman for defending women, then mocking her for not beating a man.” That single sentence, my response on X, reached more than 62,000 likes in just a few hours. People are fed up. Ordinary Americans, men and women alike, can see...

For Emma, what could have been a simple dollars-and-cents decision was far more complicated. The choice before her: whether to accept a scholarship offering nearly free tuition to attend law school at Indiana University in her home state — or to pay $45,000 a year at the University of Minnesota. A few weeks ago, she moved to Minneapolis to start law school, a choice largely shaped by the fact that Emma is trans. She has felt increasingly like Indiana's government doesn't welcome her.

Fans are not buying Jamie Lee Curtis' display of emotion over Charlie Kirk's death. The American actress and film producer recently shed tears over the political activist's gruesome death, saying that his assassination has been heavy on her mind Despite her raw display of emotions, Curtis is catching the heat from fans who believe that her sympathy is "out of touch" and misplaced.

Former Gawker editor Elizabeth Spiers unloaded in the Nation what may be the most caustic postmortem on Charlie Kirk found anywhere in media so far — comparing the slain Turning Point founder to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbles and labeling Kirk “an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist.” The latter name calling appeared in the lead paragraph alone of the 1000-word essay under the headline: “Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning.” Quoting gracious comments by California Gov. Gavin Newsom about the slain father of two, Spiers wrote, “There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to...

Donald Trump Jr. rebuked the transgender community during the anniversary of 9/11 by comparing them to Al-Qaeda terrorists. The president’s son made his remarks during a Thursday interview on the 'Megyn Kelly Show.' Trump Jr. also claimed transgender individuals are probably responsible for other ‘mass killings’ that the public is not aware of ‘because you’re not allowed to talk about the truth.’ ‘I can’t name, including probably like Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, a group that is more violent per capita than the radical trans moment,’ Trump Jr. told Megyn Kelly. ‘I’m sure people are totally sane after jacking themselves up...

LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) - A bill on transgender athletes now goes to Gov. Jim Pillen’s desk. Wednesday night, state senators voted 33-16 to pass LB89, introduced by Omaha Sen. Kathleen Kauth. The bill was created to restrict trans athletes from participating in sports that align with their gender identity.

I can’t believe this is real This woman is out in Salt Lake City, Utah “patrolling” for ICE Shes on “ICE Watch” to alert illegals on social media where ICE is so they can avoid the area That’s not all, she wants to film ICE arresting illegals to help the illegals case, “I do want to be out and about, because if I can catch them filming it has the potential to help someone's legal case.” “it's what, day six of this for me and a little bit longer for everybody else.

Patrick Boylan has been slammed for making the comments during a meeting of the Nevada System of Higher Education's Board of Regents on Friday.

Americans’ faith in the U.S. military has declined to its lowest level in more than 20 years, according to a recently released poll. Conducted by Gallup from June 1-22, the survey found that over the past five years, an increasing percentage of Americans are now “less likely” to voice “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the U.S. military. According to the poll, 74 percent of Americans expressed such sentiments as recently as 2018. That number has since declined to 60 percent, marking the lowest level since 1997. As noted by Gallup, overall confidence in the U.S....

BAYTOWN, TEXAS – Two Texas teachers have been fired after attending a drag show in downtown Houston earlier this month. Kristi Maris and an unnamed coworker were both let go after attending a drag show on July 13 at Hamburger Mary’s, according to multiple reports.

Dear UNC-Wonderland Board of Trustees: As the proud parent of a recent graduate of UNC-Wonderland (UNCW), I want to thank you for providing such interesting reading material for those of us attending post-graduation ceremonies last Saturday in the university union. Because of the long graduation ceremony, the departmental reception for sociology graduates was postponed for about forty-five minutes. During our wait, we really needed something to read. After unsuccessfully searching the union lobby for a copy of the local newspaper, we came across a whole stack of the most recent issue of Queer Notes. I know that the school provides...

 After knocking Miss America organizers last week for pinning a scarlet letter on a contestant they claimed lacked the morals to wear the sash, I couldn't see much point to attending the contest Saturday night.So I hit the next-best thing: The Miss'd America Pageant, a drag show for charity held the next night, a few blocks from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. (Miss'd as in, if you missed the other pageant, catch this one.)After watching both sequined spectacles, I gotta say: They put the wrong queens on TV.Sure, Miss Maryland danced and played violin at the same time.But she couldn't...
