    Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday announced a series of proposed regulatory actions to carry out President Donald Trump's executive order directing HHS to end the practice of sex-rejecting procedures on children. During a news conference broadcast on Newsmax, Kennedy said doctors "assume a solemn obligation to protect children," but argued that medical groups have promoted "needless and irreversible" interventions for minors with gender dysphoria. The sweeping proposals are the most significant moves the Trump administration has taken so far to restrict the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgical interventions for transgender children....

    SummaryThe discussion centers on Venezuela being described as a mafia-run, cartel-controlled state rather than a legitimate government, heavily involved in narco-trafficking with Marxist allies in Honduras as a transit point, importing massive quantities of drugs into the US and causing American deaths.Key points raised:Actions against Venezuela are framed as stopping drug trafficking, Chinese influence, and related threats, not regime change or foreign wars.Claims of substantial evidence that a Venezuela-affiliated election machine company interfered in US 2020 and 2024 elections, with references to connected machines, manipulable data, and cases like Tina Peters.Chinese Communist Party has a sophisticated spy base and missiles...

    In a move that’s raising alarms across the nation, BlackRock through its 2024 acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) has surged into direct ownership of U.S. energy infrastructure, shifting from passive investor to hands on controller of critical utilities and grids. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved a $6.2 billion takeover of Allete, parent of Minnesota Power, by a BlackRock led consortium with Canada Pension Plan in October 2025, granting private equity majority control over power serving 150,000 customers. Meanwhile, GIP is in advanced talks for a potential $38 billion acquisition of AES Corporation, a major player with renewable assets...

  • Trump delivers pot reform dream — but stops short of full marijuana legalization

    The New York Post ^ | Steve Nelson
    President Trump on Thursday delivered the biggest federal policy win yet for marijuana reform advocates in signing a “common sense” order to no longer classify the drug as serious as heroin and LSD. The landmark action will move pot from “Schedule I,” the most restrictive Controlled Substance Act designation for drugs with a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical value, to Schedule III alongside ketamine — but the change stops short of full legalization. Trump stressed the order doesn’t sanction recreational pot smoking, but rather opens the door for medical research for patients in pain. “I promised to...

    Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Leslie Jones on Monday called for Democrats to arrest Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers if they take back Congress after the midterm elections. “I don’t know. It just feels like the upside down world,” Jones told MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace on her “The Best People” podcast. “You see somebody that’s doing something completely terrible, like some of these influencers, these crazy folks, and we let them go because freedom of speech, of course, but there should be accountability.” “Like gravity,” Wallace said, “things should fall.”

    President Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to speed up the rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule I to the less severe Schedule III, with the stated goal of expanding cannabis research. “The executive order the President will sign today is focused on increasing medical research for medical marijuana and CBD — cannabidiol,” a senior administration official said in a press briefing. “The president is very focused on the potential medical benefits, and he has directed a commonsense approach that will automatically … start working to improve the medical marijuana and CBD research to better inform patients and doctors.

    The U.S. government sued the U.S. territory, its police department and Police Commissioner Mario Brooks on Tuesday, accusing them of obstructing and systematically denying American citizens the right to possess and carry guns. The U.S. Virgin Islands requires that applicants demonstrate “good reason to fear death or great injury to his person or property,” and to have “two credible persons” to vouch for their need of a firearm. Local law also requires that someone have “good moral character” to obtain a gun permit, which is valid for up to three years and applies to a single weapon. The lawsuit states...

    President Donald Trump’s United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is reportedly setting out an ambitious plan to strip citizenship from naturalized Americans who are found to have fraudulently secured the legal status. The denaturalization plan, detailed in The New York Times, will be spearheaded by USCIS Director Joe Edlow and focus on referring 100 to 200 denaturalization cases every month to the agency’s Office of Immigration Litigation. “If the cases are successful, it would represent a massive escalation of denaturalization in the modern era, experts said. By comparison, between 2017 and this year to date, there had been just...
  • Liberal 'Charlie Hebdo' depicts Jihadi 'Hanukkah Massacre' as non Muslim whites

    John Rain @johnthenoticer: Charlie Hebdo is a French left-wing satirical newspaper. You might not remember, but back in 2015, their editorial team was the victim of a terror attack carried out by two North African Islamists, in which 12 people were killed. Ten years later, two Muslim Pakistanis kill Jews on a beach in Australia, and look at who is depicted to illustrate these two Pakistanis in their latest front page: two white people who are disparaging caricatures of working-class French citizens. (In the image, the father says, 'We're going to the beach to k*ll Jews,' and the headline reads...

    Trump Media & Technology is merging with fusion energy company TAE Technologies in a deal worth more than $6 billion, aiming to harness the fledgling technology to power energy-hungry artificial intelligence data centers. TAE, which is privately owned, is developing technology aimed at producing energy by fusing atomic nuclei. Trump Media & Technology owns President Donald Trump's Truth Social platform. The merger comes amid a difficult year for Trump Media shares, which trade under the ticker DJT — the same as Mr. Trump's initials. Through Wednesday, the stock was down 69% for the year, even as the S&P 500 had...

    It’s been three days since the jihad against innocent Jews at Sydney’s Bondi beach. A nation’s grief is swiftly turning to anger and Australia’s prime minister is floundering. As more is learned about the father-and-son killers who took 15 lives and wounded many more, questions are piling up. How did the father enter the country? How did security agencies lose track of the son, who not only imbibed his father’s Jew hate, but may have been further radicalised by reportedly studying with one of Sydney’s most notorious Islamist hate preachers? How did they manage to go to a militant area...
