One of the writers of 2022’s Lightyear is doubling down on the decision to put a lesbian kiss in the Disney-Pixar animated film amid conflicting reports about whether or not rap icon Snoop Dogg apologized for his comments critical of LGBT content in children’s media. Lightyear, a failed Toy Story spinoff purporting to present the “real” movie on which Tim Allen’s iconic Buzz Lightyear was based (voiced in the 2022 film by Chris Evans), drew flak from family groups for featuring an on-screen kiss between two female “married” characters. The display of LGBT “representation” was largely relegated to just one...

Back in the 90s, few voices rang louder in evangelical youth groups than Ray Boltz. Choirs sang his ballads, even parents wept at his lyrics, and GMA Dove Awards were stacked on his shelf. His song, "Thank You," captured the imagination of a generation. "The Anchor Holds" gave solace to broken men. And in 1994, he took home Inspirational Song of the Year (at the GMA Dove Awards) for "I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb," a declaration of costly discipleship that echoed through sanctuaries like a modern creed. “I pledge allegiance to the Lamb With all my strength, with all...

A 25-year-old man in Ontario, Canada, has been charged with breaking in to a family’s home in Welland and sexually assaulting their toddler. Daniel “Dani” Senecal identified himself as using “she/her” on his Facebook profile and displayed the trans pride flag in his biography. On Sunday, August 31, police and paramedics were called to a home near Crowland Avenue and York Street in Welland for a medical assistance call involving a young child. When emergency first responders arrived, they discovered the front door of the home showed signs of being forced open and the child was suffering from serious injuries....

....the merging of Marxist and Islamic agendas to undermine Western values, is alive and well in Texas.

Graham Linehan is the creator of Father Ted, a truly beloved sitcom from the UK's Channel Four. But, because he is opposed to the notion that women have penises, he was forced out of TV comedy (as ruthlessly homogeneous a world as can be found) and then out of Britain itself. He returned from exile this morning only for the purposes of attending his trial, starting at Westminster Magistrates' Court this Thursday, following his previous arrest by Big Tranny's ideological enforcers at Scotland Yard. So naturally, on landing at Heathrow this morning, he was immediately arrested all over again by...

The shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is dying out in the media for obvious reasons: the shooter was transgender, hated Trump—hated everyone, really—and it doesn’t fit the narrative the media likes to keep such a story on repeat. Robert “Robin” Westman shot and killed two kids and injured 17 more on August 27 during mass. It was commemorating the start of the new school year. It seems like there have been scores of mass shootings committed by transgender individuals. Western Journal did an analysis showing that since 2020, 40 percent of mass shooters or would-be mass shooters...

Besides the harm the transgender ideology does to individuals, leaving boys being less than boys and girls less than girls after “treatment,” the lost families and lives, the multiple mass killers that have come from that lifestyle, there is a “threat” to public safety, and “as such, it should be outlawed and eradicated form public life.” ...

‘The IT Crowd’ creator Graham Linehan arrested by UK cops over ‘anti-trans’ posts on X: ‘like a terrorist’ “The IT Crowd” creator Graham Linehan has said he was arrested by cops in the UK over three “anti-trans” social media posts shortly after arriving at London Heathrow Airport. The Irish comedy writer, who was flying to Britain on an American Airlines flight from Arizona, accused police of treating him like a “terrorist” when they detained him moments after he stepped off the plane on Monday. Linehan, 57, who has become a strident critic of the transgender rights movement, said he was...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Tuesday said a gay leader at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who resigned last week in protest of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had “no business being in government” due to the “lifestyle” he led. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, was among the four CDC leaders who resigned last week, saying in their resignations that the changes under Kennedy were preventing them from carrying out the agency’s public health mission. “One of the guys that is the biggest proponent of...

Despite the ongoing budget concerns, commissioners voted 4–1 this week to allocate funding for the 2025 Gay Softball World Series. The measure, sponsored by Garcia, dedicates $468,610 to the tournament, with Ramsey casting the lone “no” vote. Garcia said the money would come in part from a tourism fund designed to attract events that bring visitors to the county. However, while part of the funding does come from that tourism fund, the other part comes from Precinct 2’s General Fund—largely supported by property taxes. In effect, at least 50 percent of the $468,610 will come from local property tax revenue...

Pope Leo XIV met Monday with one of the most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ inclusion in the Catholic Church and encouraged his ministry, just days before a planned Holy Year pilgrimage of LGBTQ Catholics to the Vatican. The Rev. James Martin, a New York-based Jesuit author and editor, said Leo told him he intended to continue Pope Francis’ policy of LGBTQ acceptance in the church and encouraged him to keep up his advocacy. The message he received from Leo was “that if people were happy with Pope Francis’ approach to LGBTQ Catholics, they’re going to be happy with Pope...

In this video, I react to trans activist Lily Tino’s Disneyland antics and meltdown over In-N-Out putting Bible verses on cups. From bathroom drama to crying about bread towers, this is what fake activism looks like when it’s more about clout and OnlyFans than truth. I break down why these stunts aren’t about “rights” but about attention and money, and why real people are tired of being forced to play along. Let me know your thoughts in the comments — do you think this is activism or just a hustle?

There are times when reading a list of projects funded by the United States federal government sounds more like parody than reality. The Department of Government Efficiency — unlike Congress, it seems — is still working hard every day to identify and eliminate waste and fraud from the federal government funded by our taxpayer dollars. And this week’s update included some profoundly idiotic programs and grants that were, until now, recipients of our hard-earned cash. DOGE normally releases a contracts update on X on Fridays highlighting some of the stupidest agency contracts that it has discovered in the last week,...

Over 100 people showed up for Miami Beach’s rainbow crosswalks that are currently in the political crosshairs across the state of Florida. “Our rights are on shaky ground everywhere, but especially here in Florida,” said activist Paul Thomas. Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Florida Department of Transportation has ordered communities across the state to remove colorful crosswalks

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) accused White House official Sebastian Gorka on Sunday of wanting “to deflect from the reality” of the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting by pointing out gunman Robin Westman’s transgender identity. Gorka, who serves as President Trump’s deputy assistant and senior director for counterterrorism, argued on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Westman had a clear “ideological” motive for targeting the Annunciation Catholic School earlier this week — where two students were killed and more than a dozen other children and adults were injured while they prayed at Mass. “That’s what terrorism is,” Gorka said of the mass...

A former “Teacher of the Year” has pleaded guilty to having an “ongoing relationship” with one of her female students starting when the girl was just 15. Brandyn Martin Hargrove was convicted on Wednesday of 12 criminal counts connected to her sexual assault of the ex-student while she was a teacher at Brazoswood High School in Clute, Texas. The formerly-decorated educator was sentenced to 10 years of probation and a 10-year probated sentence, meaning she won’t face any time in prison, despite grooming her student and having a sexual relationship with the minor, which continued until the girl turned 17,...

Shrewbury, Massachusetts father Kevin Doherty was shot and killed Thursday by Snehal Srivastava after he confronted the trans man who was spraying graffiti on a bridge – before 9 AM in the morning! Doherty had just dropped his six-year-old so off at school when he saw Snehal spray-painting graffiti on the bridge near Jordan Pond. The father of the young boy took pictures of the vandalism and an argument broke out. So, Doherty call 911 for assistance. The 911 operator was on the phone with the father when shots were fired.

A process server and private investigator reached out to me with disturbing video footage of him being attacked by a trans activist in Aurora, Colo. The incident happened on June 1, but process server Craig Smith decided to go public after the Minneapolis trans mass shooting. The individual in the video is a leftist activist who goes by “Amber Lynn Estes.” His prior name was Brandon T. Estes. When Smith attempted to serve him court papers, Estes pretended not to be the person listed and then turned his anger on the server. Estes is being taken to family court for...

Minnesota Democrats are fundraising on the recent homicidal assault on a church by one of the transgender maniacs they have gone out of their way to foster. According to liberal ideology, the children were not murdered by Robert/Robin Westman, but by the guns he used. Therefore, the bloodbath is an opportunity to raise money to fight the Second Amendment: (X image on link) Our right to bear arms helps us defend the innocent from maniacs like Westman, who are outside the law and therefore will never have much difficulty obtaining firearms, just as they easily obtain illegal drugs. Democrats have...

A U.S. citizen is facing significant charges after ‘they’ attempted to intervene in the apprehension of illegal aliens in Maine, nearly running over U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents in the process, authorities say.On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released details about the disturbing incident, which unfolded on Aug. 25 in Knox County.Local law enforcement was responding to the scene of a commercial vehicle rollover crash with the assistance of USBP.Two men who were traveling in the truck were found to be illegal aliens: Victor Hugo Cardona-Calderon (visa overstay) and Jhoan Andres Ortiz-Calderon (final order of removal from an...
