The Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) is reportedly conducting the investigation. The mounting accusations against Pitt appear to stem from a collection of emails.

We all need to read and promote "The Transgender Leviathan," a 40 page report written for the American Principles Project by Pedro Gonzalez of Chronicles Magazine... It's pure fire starting with its title page, There have been many terrible medical experiments in America, but none of them have had the deadly and destructive combination of ideology, politics, and profits propelling them into the culture....Transgenderism has the winning trifecta, and it makes the movement much more difficult to defeat, despite its obvious harm to people and the lack of any legitimate science or data to back up its central tenets.

I thought my 4-year-old was transgender. I was wrong. We raised both our sons as gender neutral as possible, with gender neutral clothes, toys, and language. It was a mistake I was a true believer. I was a social justice organizer and facilitator before social justice overtook the world. I was on the forefront, introducing the concept of intersectionality to progressive organizations, and having people share their pronouns. My friends and I felt we were the cool kids, the vanguard of revolutionary work to change the world, to achieve what people in the social justice movement call “collective liberation.” I...

The Roman Empire once ruled the world, till they openly embraced the LGBTQIA+ Movement of their day, and fell to the ground with a deafening thud. Same for the Greek empire that also ruled the world, right up to the moment that society openly embraced what God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for. Today in 2022, America rules the world stage with the greatest military, the strongest economy, and we are now embracing what brought down the Romans and the Greeks. Will we survive? Not if the Bible is true. Welcome to Brad Pitt wearing a skirt on the red carpet...

Brad Pitt has detailed his struggle with a rare 'face blindness' condition - admitting that 'nobody believes' him when he talks about it. The actor, 58, believes he suffers from prosopagnosia, an inability to recognize faces that usually affects the person for most or all of their life. Many people with the condition can't even recognize family members, partners or friends and cope by using alternative ways to recognize people, such as remembering the way they walk, or their hairstyle, voice or clothing. While Brad has not been formally diagnosed with the condition he has long believed himself to be...

Corey Barsky was more than a little miffed Tuesday night when he saw a giant Biden-Harris logo projected on the façade of the towering Cathedral of Learning on the University of Pittsburgh’s Oakland campus. Barsky, who is vice chair of the Pitt College Republicans, said the projection that included the United Steelworkers logo and a line urging viewers to “Plan to Vote” was visible for nearly two hours. He said the display seemed out of line with policies the university invoked this month when it denied his group’s request to plant small American flags around the Cathedral lawn to mark...

Shannon Bream discusses a Potential Coronavirus Vaccine Developed At UPMC (Pitt) Researchers are waiting on approval from the FDA to start human trials ________ PITTSBURGH -- The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine announced Thursday a potential vaccine for the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19.

By this point in awards season, Brad Pitt’s march toward a Best Supporting Actor Oscar seems all but inevitable. Not to say anyone’s complaining. In fact, the loudest knock against the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star is that his warm-up acceptance speeches at events like the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and the BAFTAs have been a little too, well, perfect. [snip] Fenway Strategies is a speechwriting and communications firm founded by former Obama administration officials Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor. Although the firm’s most obvious connection is to the political arena, helping speakers prep TED...

VIDEO This video gives more of the background on Jason Leopold and why it is so LAUGHABLE that liberals and their mainstream media allies are now placing so much faith in his credibility in their attempt to take down President Donald Trump. I explain how the 24 Business Hours meme was born during the height of "Fitzmas" in which the DUmmies were absolutely sure Karl Rove would be indicted and frog-marched across the White House lawn. Also covered is the extreme gullibility of WILLIAM RIVERS PITT of TruthOut for placing his complete faith in Leopold. Finally we will see that...

When Bill Fralic was an eighth-grader in the Penn Hills school district, he worked at a local golf course over the summer. It was there that he first met Pitt coach Jackie Sherrill. “What college do you play for?” Sherrill asked the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Fralic. Fralic told him he was going into the ninth grade. Needless to say, Sherrill had his No. 1 recruiting target for the recruiting class of 1981, and he would not be disappointed as he followed Fralic throughout his storied scholastic career. Fralic, who went on to become an All-American lineman at Pitt and an All-Pro...

The University of Pittsburgh’s Student Government Board held a public meeting on Tuesday to discuss the traumatizing visit the night before from “dangerous” homosexual and Breitbart Tech Editor Milo Yiannopoulos, during which students described themselves as feeling “hurt” and “unsafe.” “During his talk, Yiannopoulos called students who believe in a gender wage gap ‘idiots,’ declared the Black Lives Matter movement a ‘supremacy’ group, while feminists are ‘man-haters,’” according to the student paper The Pitt News, prompting a handful of twenty-something-year olds to feel upset. “Just because we have to be neutral with our funding doesn’t mean we’re personally neutral,” announced...

Doubtless you have heard more than once the term “American Exceptionalism.” It implies, in short, that we are somehow special, different, superior. We are the “city upon a hill” whose freedoms and accomplishments set us apart. Alexis de Tocqueville coined the phrase midway through the 19th century, and it has enjoyed constant deployment by politicians and pundits ever since, because it lights a warm bulb of self-satisfaction in many bellies … and people feeling good about themselves are easier to convince. Salesmen thrived on this axiom before Babylon’s bricks were laid. For the sake of comparison, here’s something exceptional: Médecins...
