    Canadian wolves were released into Yellowstone National Park in 1995 and central Idaho in 1996 — but within a few years their territory and numbers had greatly expanded, along with their negative impact on livestock and elk herds.

    The U.S. federal government is spending over $1 million to fund LGBT mentorship programs and clubs for children as young as 12 through an activist organization that supports body-mutilating interventions for minors who identify as the opposite sex. An initiative of the Los Angeles LGBT Center, the Lifeworks Mentorship program, matches LGBT-identifying youth 24 and under with an adult who can help them be their "absolute best selves." As the group's IRS 990 forms indicate, it received $162 million in revenue in 2023. The mentorship program mentors provide support in "goal-setting through five achievement areas: home, health, education, career, and...

    I originally wrote this back in November of 2017. Little did I realize then that it would become true, just not for 2020. Thought many would find it interesting. Seems like a day doesn't go by without another woman accusing some guy of sexually harassing her. Most of the accusations are from incidents that took place so long ago that there is no way to prove or disprove the accusation. The stories are about men from all walks of life, and both sides of the political spectrum. From Hollywood to Congress, women are telling stories about how men they...

    Idaho librarian June Meissner was closing up for the day at the downtown Boise Public Library when a man approached her asking for help. As an information services librarian, answering patrons’ questions is part of Meissner’s day-to-day work, and serving the community is one of her favorite parts of the job. But when the man got close enough, “he took a swing at me and tried to punch me in the head,” said Meissner, a transgender woman. “I blocked it and he started yelling slurs and suggesting that he was going to come back and kill me.”

    Neighbors of a gay couple in Maryland were shocked to find out they were arrested for possession of child pornography after getting flagged by IKEA. 41-year-old Robert Sherer and 54-year-old Robert Books were arrested Wednesday after police were tipped off about Sherer allegedly downloading child pornography on his work computer. He worked as a senior resolutions generalist at IKEA in White Marsh. The company, which is based in Sweden, notified Swedish police about the alarming discovery after confirming the accusation. Police notified their counterparts in Maryland, who began investigating the couple in March.

    In April 2023, Santa Ana Unified School District removed the Trevor Project Crisis Hotlines from posters at all K-12 schools, as well as from counselors’ business cards. I watched it happen. They did so because in February 2023, I and others showed the Superintendent and board members screenshots from TrevorSpace, an online chat site recommended to students through the Trevor Project. The screenshots revealed TrevorSpace could easily be abused by online predators taking advantage of naïve kids, especially kids in crisis. TrevorSpace advertises itself as a place to meet LGBT friends. It says that it is an affirming international community...

    President Biden has sparked outrage by declaring Easter Sunday will also officially become Transgender Day of Visibility. The White House doubled up backlash as it also banned religious imagery in submissions from children of military families taking part in the traditional Easter Egg Roll event, as critics branded the moves an 'attack on Christianity.' Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy led the charge against the move, as he mused 'I wonder how (Biden) came up with that date' by having Easter Sunday clash with the transgender tribute day.

The third-grade staffer, who was not identified, formed the 'you be you' at Pleasant Grove Elementary School in Elk Grove. The teacher invited students in the fourth through sixth grade to attend the private meetings. Brittani Cortina, who has a second and a fourth grader at the school, said her older child told her the teacher went into class and told the students about the club. Cortina said: 'The teacher came in and spoke about how boys like boys...

It also has a Space and Rocket Center that holds exhibits like the Saturn V and hosts a Space Camp during the certain parts of the year for young kids interested in all things space! This year, parents are terrified to send their children to Space Camp because one of the staff members, Molly Bowman, is a transgender individual with a history of being a freak.

    A former schoolteacher from Hawaii has been sentenced to 17.5 years in prison for the creation and distribution of child sexual abuse images he produced during his own rape of a 13-year-old boy. Alden Bunag, 35, had raped the child in his classroom and filmed it before sending it to other pedophiles to consume. As previously reported by Reduxx, Bunag was first arrested in June of 2022 following an investigation into a pedophile in a different state. The FBI had received a tip about a schoolteacher in Philadelphia who had been sharing child sexual abuse material on the internet, and...

    We live in an environment of complete and utter lawlessness. When predators boldly roam the streets without fear but good people are literally afraid to leave their own homes, that is clearly a sign that our societal collapse has reached a very advanced stage. Even in the rare instances when they are actually caught and convicted, our system will still often allow violent criminals to go free. For example, a woman in California that was convicted of stabbing her boyfriend more than 100 times was given a sentence that didn’t include even a single day in prison… The family of...
