Twice as many children and teenagers are being diagnosed with gender dysphoria today than before the pandemic, a report suggests. Analysts at LexisNexis — which tracks 300million patients — found the number of insurance claims for gender identity care among under-18s spiked 133 percent from 2019 to 2023. It is part of a wider sharp increase in mental health issues among children.

Yesterday, Blaze News reported that a shadowy Ukrainian NGO called “Texty.org” had placed Blaze Media and Glenn Beck on its enemies list for supposedly spreading “Russian propaganda and disinformation.” While masquerading as an independent journalism organization, the outlet tweeted "claims that […] Texty.org’s editorial team is trained or funded by the U.S. government are outright lies.” Last night, Return uncovered this to be a demonstratable lie by the organization and that it is, in fact, funded with U.S. tax dollars by several American agencies and funding and partnerships tied to the George Soros-led Open Society Foundations. Texty.org operates under another...

We’re going to be hearing a lot about sabotage in the coming months. Specifically, Russian acts of sabotage against the West. All part of Russia’s hybrid war, because remember: Even if we don’t think we are at war with Russia, Russia is at war with us. Several Western intelligence agencies have publicized recently that Russia is suspected of carrying out a number of acts of sabotage and warned that these will continue. Poland has arrested a dozen individuals for their connections to acts of sabotage in that country on behalf of Russian security services. The acts included beatings, arson, and...

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Moscow should amend its adoption agreements with countries which have legalised gay marriage.

A US, UK, and European government-backed Ukrainian publication called “Data Journalism Agency” (TEXTY) has released a new report labeling hundreds of Americans as adversaries due to their refusals to endorse more war and more funding for the Ukrainian government. Titled “Roller Coaster: From Trumpists to Communists,” the report identifies top U.S. politicians, journalists, and social media influencers, claiming all the individuals and organizations in question are Russian propaganda tools. The list includes former President Donald J. Trump, the Real America’s Voice network, Laura Loomer, Jack Posobiec, Ben Shapiro, Ron DeSantis, Matt Gaetz, RFK Jr, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tucker Carlson,...

June 7 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris on Friday as he announced a new aid package for Kyiv and apologized for Washington's delay in providing weapons. Biden announced the United States would provide Ukraine with a new $225 million package, providing Kyiv critical weapons such as air defense interceptors and artillery ammunition as it looks to fight off Russian advances.

A furious father filmed as he spoke with a Bend, Oregon, police officer about an incident where the dad said a nude man walked onto his property and tried interacting with the resident’s two-year-old son.The man asked the cop to verify on camera that law enforcement could take no action against a “completely bare naked” man talking to a baby.The officer confirmed that public nudity, even in front of children, is legal in Oregon and said the only thing he could charge the suspect with is trespassing for allegedly entering the man’s yard to talk with the boy.Speaking to the...

Heated debates have erupted across the West, triggered by the sudden rise of an ideology that seeks to remove the significance of biological sex in society and replace it with the vague and scientifically vacuous concept of “gender identity.” This shift is often justified by highlighting the existence of so-called “intersex” conditions, more accurately termed disorders/differences of sexual development (DSDs). Proponents argue that because approximately one in every 5,500 individuals (0.018 percent) is born with sexual anatomy that may appear sexually ambiguous or opposite to their sex at birth, this means that biological sex is a “spectrum” and that male...

NATO is creating a series of "land corridors" that would be used to rush U.S. troops across Europe to confront Russian forces in the event of a major conflict with Moscow, The Telegraph reported on June 4. Warnings that the Kremlin could attack a NATO country in the near future have increased in urgency in recent months. Eirik Kristoffersen, Norway's top general, said the military alliance only has two to three years to prepare, Bloomberg reported on June 3. "At one point someone said it'll take 10 years (before Russia reconstitutes its offensive capacity), but I think we're back to...

A direct clash between Russia and NATO would put the world "one step away from a full-scale World War III," Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters this week as he celebrated a preordained victory in the country's presidential election and underscored his uncompromising Ukraine strategy. The threat of nuclear escalation has been ever-present as the West continues to bolster Ukraine and frustrate the Kremlin's military campaign. For Moscow, the nuclear card has been useful in deterring deeper NATO involvement in the conflict. "Everything is possible in the modern world," Putin warned this week.

How do you know a nation is under the judgment of God? Romans 1 tells us that God gives them over to a depraved mind, to sexual immorality, to injustice, and to do things that they ought not do. In other words, the surest sign of God’s judgment is rampant sexual immorality, especially that which is funded and promoted by the wicked government that should be upholding justice and defending righteousness against such pervasive evil.

It said the country’s forces destroyed Russian missile launchers with a strike in the Belgorod region. Senior politician Yehor Chernev claimed Ukrainian forces used a High Mobility Rocket Artillery System, or HIMARS, The New York Times reported.

The chairwoman of the Defence Committee in the German parliament, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, has called for the recruitment of 900,000 German reservists in light of Russia's belligerent stance under President Vladimir Putin."Putin is training his people for war and positioning them against the West. We must therefore become capable of defence as quickly as possible," Strack-Zimmermann of the liberal Free Democrats (FDP), a junior partner in Germany's governing coalition, told the Funke media group in remarks published on Saturday.

[Catholic Caucus] Viganò Told: “Keep Your Mouth Shut”By Silencing Viganò, Catholic Media Silence Abuse VictimsSome faithful Catholics are voicing disagreement with the Editor of Crisis Magazine, Eric Sammons, after he scolded Archbishop Viganò to “keep your mouth shut” following Viganò’s assertion that he has personal knowledge of reports that Pope Francis sexually abused seminarians.As a sex abuse victims’ advocate who is aware of the serious effects of clerical sexual predation that has led countless victims to have their psychosexual development damaged; become drug addicts and/or alcoholics; and even commit suicide, I disagree with critics of Viganò’s transparency about abuse reports...

Most of the people around me have, not surprisingly, been feeling a little off since the kangaroo court verdict last Thursday. There's going to be a lot of that for the next few months, years, or, well, ever. On Sunday afternoon, a friend reminded me that it is now the secular holy month of Pride, which I had managed to not think of until that point. Yeah, I hadn't gone anywhere near the news or social media for a couple of days. I immediately thought, "Hey, let's kick off the week with some annual Pride Month lamentation!" Even the slightest...
