The first- and second-wave feminist movements really just wanted women to have equal footing with men, which was noble, even if we disagree with some of the methods and outcomes. But the late-stage feminism, with its capitulation to the transgender agenda, has literally undone over a century of work on behalf of women. To the point where women are not only second-class citizens to delusional men who pretend they're women, but we can't even be called women anymore. They've had a list of euphemisms for us -- womb owner, egg producer, birthing person -- but now we're literally being redefined...

A Miami-based surgeon known for proudly advertising her business of maiming bodies in the name of “gender-affirming” care announced on social media that her surgery center is opening more dates for transgender operations to “accommodate” patients in light of President-elect Donald Trump winning the election and heading back into the White House in January. Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher, who specializes in transgender surgeries — from top surgery to labiaplasties and phalloplasties — answered a question from a patient on social media, who asked if she Gallagher is concerned about continuing transgender surgeries in the current political climate. “This is a great...

Despite so many factors going against Republicans, all the indicators are pointing to a mammoth win for Donald Trump on Tuesday. Democrats control the media, big tech, the legal system, education/academia, government, and corporations. Republicans have churches — but 32 million evangelicals are unlikely to vote in this election, meaning that influence is negligible. This leaves Republicans without much to counterbalance the massive Democratic advantages except enhanced GOTV efforts by the party, Turning Point USA, one-man machine Scott Pressler and Elon Musk’s efforts, which include converting Twitter into the only mainstream social media platform that doesn’t censor the right. Due...

In today’s edition of Democrats Sure Got It Good, I give you Politico, a far-left propaganda outlet eager to debase itself as a means to protect Democrats by protecting vice presidential nominee Tim Walz (D)… Politico is a good dog. A very, very good dog. Get a load of this: First line of this breathtakingly dishonest article… “Tim Walz has a problem misspeaking.” During this week’s vice presidential debate, when Tim Walz said something like Some of my best friends are school shooters, that’s misspeaking. Misspeaking is when you meant to say one thing and something else comes out of...

Kamala Harris and her media allies are promising a “tough” border security policy — but her new economic plan reveals her support for a loose border policy of more mass migration. Friday’s New York Times headline declares “Harris Heads to the Border, Trying to Project Toughness Against Trump,” so mirroring many other media claims of promised “tough” policies. But three days earlier, Harris released an economic plan that assumes a loose border inflow of low-wage migrant workers, government-aided migrant consumers, and room-sharing migrant renters. The policy would continue President Joe Biden’s “Bidenomics” policy that has radically shifted the nation’s economy...

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s administration have overseen a record surge in the foreign-born population, with about 2-in-13 United States residents having been born in a foreign country. Analysis published by the Center for Immigration Studies, which reviewed data from the Census Bureau’s Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey, details the extent to which Biden and Harris have grown the foreign-born population in the U.S. to a record-setting level. According to the survey, the foreign-born population stands at about 51.3 million as of March of this year — an increase of 2.5 million...

Forty-one percent of Democrat voters want President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, a Monday USA Today/Suffolk University poll found, while only 51 percent want him to remain on the ticket. The poll represents one of the first post-debate polls that Democrat operatives and donors will study to determine the total damage to Biden’s candidacy following his debate performance. By a five-to-one ratio, the poll found former President Donald Trump won the exchange. Only 28 percent of Biden supporters said he won. Only 24 percent of Democrats said the debate increased their support for Biden, while nine...

The establishment media delivered a damning review of President Joe Biden’s Thursday debate performance. Biden, who mumbled and sounded raspy, appeared to lose track of his thoughts a few times. “I wish Biden would reflect on this debate performance and then announce his decision to withdraw from the race, throwing the choice of Democratic nominee to the convention,” New York Times’ columnist Nicholas Kristof posted on X. CNN’s Kasie Hunt underscored the difference between Biden and former President Donald Trump. “The voice, open-mouthed look, and visual contrast between President Biden and former President Trump all have Democrats I’m talking to...

Columbia University researcher Cat Bohannon claimed that castration could extend men's lifespans and questioned the ethics of impregnating women if artificial wombs were created. (LifeSiteNews) — The annual Hay Festival of Literature and Arts, once described by Bill Clinton as “The Woodstock of the mind,” was held from May 23 to June 2 this year. So: what did the intellectual elites of the West at twilight have to say? Well, this headline in the Guardian summed it up nicely: “Men and other mammals live longer if they are castrated, says researcher.” The researcher in question is Cat Bohannon, a Ph.D....

A male athlete who thinks he’s a woman complained to reporters about the lack of “sportsmanship” he’s received from the girls he is competing against. To recap, Townhall covered how Veronica Garcia, a 16-year-old male, competed in the girls’ 400-meter dash at the Washington State Championship last month. Garcia finished with a time of 55.75, a full second ahead of the runner-up, who is a biological female. Multiple outlets noted that there was silence during the awards portion when Garcia was given first place. Garcia reportedly told The Spokesman-Review that he was “somewhat hurt” that the girls he competed against...

Yikes. It's been just over a year since Audrey Hale killed six at Covenant School in Nashville, TN. Authorities still haven't released Hale's manifesto (something the police said they were 'considering' for release a year ago), but the Left insists Hale was 'right-wing' and not one of their own. Now news is breaking from Montgomery County, Maryland, where another 'trans' individual wrote a 129-page manifesto with plans to get 'famous' by committing a school shooting.

Happy Insurrection Day, everyone! President Biden had planned to deliver his Valley Forge speech on the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol, but bad weather forced him to deliver his speech a day early. And what a speech it was. "We nearly lost America," Biden said of January 6. Then he proudly announced that the "insurrectionists" had been sentenced collectively to 840 years in prison. At the end of all the bluster, Visiting Angel Dr. Jill Biden led her husband by the hand offstage so he wouldn't get lost again. Whenever we hear the word...
