Harris enlisted defandant Robert Kurlander to assist her in selling the collected material. Project Veritas, based in...

Admiral Rachel Levine, the first openly transgender federal official confirmed by the U.S. Senate, says anger about a trans awareness day falling out Easter is 'manufactured.' 'I felt that it was faux outrage. It was manufactured,' Levine told The Advocate during an interview. 'It's just that this Sunday was Easter, which is a very important holiday and very important event, and it also just happened to be the 31st,' Levine explained. Levine, who is the assistant secretary for health in the Biden administration, said there was never any intention to create a clash between the Christian holiday and the marking...

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The Biden administration has decided to remove four African nations from a trade program this week, citing “gross violations” of left-wing values framed as “human rights.”In an October 30 letter to Republican Rep. Mike Johnson, the newly elected speaker of the House, and to the president of the Senate, Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden announced his intention to remove the Central African Republic, Uganda, Niger, and Gabon from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

Americans who are protecting children from transgenderism and irreversible surgery are hysterical, prejudiced, cruel, and terroristic, President Joe Biden said in a scripted response to a question at a White House event. Biden promised from the White House podium that he would champion new rights for the often-contradictory demographic of varied “LGBT” people, saying: Our fight is far, far, from over because we have some hysterical, and I would argue prejudiced people, who are engaged in all what you see what’s going on around the country. It’s an appeal to fear and it’s an appeal that is totally, thoroughly unjustified....

Twenty-two countries took the floor at the Commission on Population and Development at the United Nations and prevented the resolution from being passed. (LifeSiteNews) — Traditional countries have united to oppose “comprehensive sexuality education” for children at the annual Commission on Population and Development at the United Nations. Last month, 22 countries from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe opposed a resolution being pushed by the Biden administration, the European Union, and other Western nations to provide sexual education to children, as reported by the Center for Family and Human Rights. The “comprehensive sexuality education” proposed by the...

Two liberal organizations describing themselves as "radical feminist" groups have entered a surprising partnership in their effort to protect women's rights. This week, Women's Liberation Front and Women's Declaration International USA broke with the President Biden and joined congressional Republicans in support of H.R. 734, or the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, a bill that would prevent biological males from participating in women's sports. Speaking with Fox News Digital on Wednesday, Kara Dansky, the President of Women’s Declaration International USA, said her nonpartisan organization was "devoted to advancing the Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights, which, according to...

President Biden issued an official proclamation declaring that transgender Americans "shape our nation's soul" and established a holiday relating to the group this week. Biden issued the proclamation Thursday to mark March 31, 2023, as the Transgender Day of Visibility, a day some transgender activists have renamed to "day of vengeance." "Transgender Americans shape our Nation's soul -- proudly serving in the military, curing deadly diseases, holding elected office, running thriving businesses, fighting for justice, raising families, and much more," Biden wrote in the Thursday morning proclamation. "Today, too many transgender Americans are still denied…rights and freedoms," the president's statement...

Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

..... But now it seems an individual as well is calling for an investigation into another matter concerning the president. An aide who formerly brought claims against Joe Biden but was intimidated into backing off at that time has reinstated her claim against the now-president due to the change of hands of the House. A former aide to President Joe Biden, back when he was a U.S. Senator from Delaware, wants the House of Representatives to open up a formal inquiry into her allegations of being sexually assaulted by Biden in 1993, Independent Journal Review reports. Tara Reade made headlines...

President Joe Biden put out a proclamation today recognizing the International Day of the Girl and stating that “my Administration has prioritized unlocking doors of opportunity and delivering the full measure of equity and dignity due to all girls.” "I will continue to speak out for women and girls around the globe, including in Iran, where brave young women are demonstrating to secure their basic rights, and I have called on the Congress to double funding for programs that promote gender equality worldwide,” said Biden. “When girls break barriers, they blaze trails for the generations that follow, investing in their...

President Joe Biden laid out the bare facts about nude photos, striking an odd note when discussing nonconsensual pornography Wednesday. Biden, 79, commented that "everybody knows somebody" who has had a "revealing picture" used as blackmail or in other nonconsensual ways, the latest in a string of verbal missteps. "I bet everybody knows somebody, somewhere along the line ... in an intimate relationship — what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of his naked friend, or whatever, in a compromising position and then literally sends blackmail," Biden said at a signing ceremony for the reauthorization of the Violence...

Biden’s proposed executive order on law enforcement would order men identifying as women to be transferred to female prisons. President Joe Biden is preparing to give every rapist and molester in federal prison a get-out-of-jail-free card. Specifically, Biden is offering to transfer any and all male criminals to women’s prisons. All the men will have to do is say that they feel like a woman, and the Biden administration will take them at their word. This policy may be the worst part of a proposed executive order on law enforcement, a draft of which was obtained by The Federalist. Most...

President Biden’s Department of Education will no longer ask school districts for data pertaining to teacher-on-student sexual assault allegations. the department’s Office for Civil Rights is set to terminate questions put in place by former President Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that sought to provide a fuller understanding of sexual violence perpetrated by teachers and staff against students. The department will no longer ask school districts to “report pending cases or cases in which a school staffer was reassigned to another district school prior to the conclusion of an investigation,” according to the Washington Free Beacon. Though it will still...

Absent parent pushback, an updated guide used in public schools nationwide will promote abortion and gender confusion and expose kids to sordid, explicit sex education.This article contains adult-level information about sex and genitals.Last year, three leftist nonprofits created the National Sex Education Standards, a blueprint for the “sex education” of K-12 children. In practice, the standards serve as an indoctrination camp in extremist sexual ethics designed to destroy children’s innocence and undermine their attachment to the traditional, Judeo-Christian understanding of sex and marriage.About 40 percent of school districts had adopted the earlier, less extreme 2011 version of the National Sexuality...

Biden has made it clear that his number one mission as president is to undo everything the Trump administration accomplished over the last four years. His newest cancellation simply does not make sense. Biden’s administration recently cancelled Operation Talon, a Trump administration program aimed at removing convicted sex offenders living in the United States illegally. Though the program seems to be something everyone should support, it clearly isn’t. Why would anyone want sex offenders to remain in the country? South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson joined a coalition of 18 state attorneys general to urge Biden to reverse the cancellation,...

Commenting on Christine Blasey Ford's allegation that Brett Kavanaugh assaulted her at a beer party some 36 years ago and that the FBI must investigate the matter now before she will testify about the supposed incident, Juanita Broaddrick tweeted that if the FBI goes back that far then it must also "investigate my RAPE allegations against Bill Clinton, too." "If you want the FBI to go back that far @HillaryClinton @MSNBC to investigate Ford's allegations .... let's investigate my RAPE allegations against Bill Clinton, too. Seems only fair," Broaddrick tweeted on Sept. 18.

President Bill Clinton’s new interview with PBS NewsHour, which aired last week, featured some shocking, and strikingly tone-deaf, comments from the former president about sexual harassment and assault, including his opinion that “what you can do to someone against their will” has changed.

PBS’s Judy Woodruff asked former president Bill Clinton Thursday whether he thought it was a “good thing” that norms have changed when it comes to sexual harassment. Woodruff’s example was former Minnesota senator Al Franken being forced to resign his post after accusations that, Woodruff said, were less serious than what happened in the Lewinsky scandal. "Well, in general, I think it's a good thing, yes," Clinton said about norms changing. He then proceeded to defend Franken and question the legitimacy of some of the accusations against him. "I will be honest,” he said, “the Franken case, for me, was...

The president’s PR machine is missing. Bill Clinton didn’t have to write a mystery with James Patterson, but he did. And in doing publicity for “The President is Missing,” Clinton has walked into a PR buzz saw. On the Today show, in a pre taped interview, Clinton was ambushed on a number of subjects. But the worst of it was about Monica Lewinsky. In this new climate of #MeToo, Clinton left himself open to questions about his affair with Lewinsky, who was his White House intern when he was president in 1998. What was possible to get away with 20...
