The deranged hammer-wielding vandal who busted several windows at Vice President JD Vance’s home in Cincinnati is allegedly the son of a prominent millionaire family — and appears to have been going by “Julia” in recent weeks.

Do parents have a right not to be lied to by a government school if their child starts undertaking a gender transition? That’s now a live legal dispute, and over the holidays a federal judge took the side of parents in a case from California. His ruling was stayed for now by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, but one of these cases could make it to the Supreme Court. The California policies “are designed to create a zone of secrecy around a school student who expresses gender incongruity,” as Judge Roger Benitez writes. Children as young as two years...

(LifeSiteNews) — The Bible says nothing about abortion and homosexual “marriage,” according to a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. James Talarico is currently running to be the nominee for the 2026 Senate race in Texas. Currently the seat is held by Republican John Cornyn. Talarico is a state representative. “The Bible doesn’t mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick,” Talarico’s campaign account posted, along with a video of him making similar remarks in a bland chapel of some sort. “The closest thing we have to...

The Trump administration’s FBI has released more than 100 additional pages of writings from Audrey Hale, the transgender shooter... These newly unclassified documents, part of a massive collection of notebooks and journals, offer a chilling look into the planning and financing of the assault that claimed the lives of three children and three adults. Hale, a biological woman who identified as a transgender man, used federal student financial aid, specifically Pell Grants, to fund the purchase of firearms used in the heinous 2023 attack. The FBI-released documents reportedly include Hale’s handwritten “Account Savings Record” page, tracking federal Pell Grant funds...

There was a time when PBS and Sesame Street were considered the most wholesome and educational content for children. However, over the years PBS has moved so far to the left that many conservative parents do not want their children watching anymore. Parents and lawmakers have called for defunding because they don’t want their tax dollars supporting left-wing political and social causes. One of the original intents of Sesame Street was to present red, green, blue, and yellow monsters so that children could not relate to them on ethnic lines. Very quickly black and later Asian and Latino muppets were...

Parents have a constitutional right to be informed if their child starts to present as a different gender at school, and schools can’t hide that information from parents, a San Diego federal judge ruled in a class-action lawsuit. In a 52-page decision handed down Monday night, Dec. 22, Judge Roger Benitez ruled that parents have a constitutional right to know if their child may be transgender and that California public schools cannot prevent employees from notifying parents. In a separate order, he barred them from violating that right. The injunction bans public school employees from misleading parents about their child’s...

University of Oklahoma student Samantha Fulnecky, a Christian, received a zero grade from transgender teaching assistant Mel Curth for not upholding a woke narrative for a paper on gender stereotypes.

On Monday, they announced that Curth “will no longer have instructional duties at the University.” “A student’s claim of religious discrimination on an individual assignment in an online Psychology Course taught by a graduate teaching assistant has come to resolution.” “As stated previously, the student followed two available processes at the University: the grade appeals process in the college and she made...

The state of California, under the direction of woke Gov. Gavin Newsom, state Attorney General Rob Bonta, and the far-left legislature, passed a law in July 2024 — AB 1955 — which required teachers to affirm students’ gender identities but keep any changes secret from the parents. In other words, they demanded that teachers lie. Bad news for the gender extremists in the Golden State, of which there are many — U.S. District Court Judge Roger Benitez issued a summary judgment Monday, ruling that the law is unconstitutional. Finally, a 2024 story where a judge didn’t bend over backward for...

Finally, we are seeing some pushback. In North Carolina, a public library board was disbanded for pushing transsexual indoctrination on little kids. The Blaze reports: The controversy involved the “Call Me Max” book that tells the story of a girl asking teachers to refer to her by her chosen identity rather than the biological reality. The board in Randolph County had reviewed the book and found that it fit within the county’s guidelines in October. No one who attempts to undermine the sanity of impressionable children so as to groom them for a twisted realm of sexual depravity should be...

Massachusetts will no longer require prospective foster parents to affirm the sexual orientation and gender identity of the children they foster, following legal challenges and criticism from religious groups. The change comes after the conservative legal group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a federal lawsuit in September on behalf of two Massachusetts families, who claimed the requirement conflicted with their religious beliefs, according to a Fox News report. One couple had its foster care license revoked, while the other was threatened with revocation.

The House GOP passed a bill outright banning transgender surgeries for minors, yet some Republicans still objected. Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill Protect Children's Innocence Act passed in a 216-211 late-night vote on Wednesday. This legislation would make it a felony to perform sex changes or provide puberty blockers and hormone therapy to children. Although the bill was passed largely along party lines, both Democrats and Republicans had some defectors. On the Republican side, Reps. Mike Lawler of New York, Mike Kennedy of Utah, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and Gabe Evans of Colorado voted against criminalizing transgender surgeries...

VIDEOIf you ACCURATELY describe what has to be done to attempt to change the sex of kids, it would repulse almost everybody due to its physical as well as mental brutality. So what to do? Well, the Left tried to make the idea palatable to the public by giving this grotesque procedure an Orwellian name that tries to avoid the brutal reality... "Gender Affirming Care." They think that will hide the fact of genital mutilation and defying nature by blocking puberty with hormones. No wonder so many mass shooters have turned out to have been the patients of "Gender Affirming...
