We seem to be at a flashpoint in the transgender culture wars. Long-threatened violence is now becoming real, and people have been murdered. “Scott”Newgent, a biological woman who regrets “transitioning” and now campaigns against the trans agenda (you might recognize Newgent from Matt Walsh’s documentary What is A Woman?), told me on the podcast this week that violence has been inevitable for some time. Walsh also noted during a roundtable discussion that although he cannot get into specifics for security reasons, he believes more violence is coming.

Before speaking recently at an event at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, a pastor approached me and said that we had met 20 years ago when I spoke at a particular church in Virginia. Then he said, “You warned us back then about all the stuff that would be coming with gay activism and how everyone thought you were crazy. And now,” he added, “it has all happened.”

Vice President Mike Pence took the stage to raucous booing at the National Rifle Association's (NRA) annual leadership summit in his home state. 'I love you too,' Pence said sarcastically at the Indianapolis event, speaking about an hour before former President Trump. Pence called for mass shooters to be executed as soon as possible and blamed trans people and mental illness for the nation's chronic gun violence. 'I'm tired of the senseless violence and loss of life that could be prevented if our leaders would support law enforcement, protect our schools, institutionalize the obviously mentally ill, and enact legislation that...

A transgender activist engaged in a furious and aggressive confrontation with members of Turning Point USA on the campus of the University of Washington on Wednesday. The transgender activist is heard saying on video, "Yeah, no, you just support the genocide of trans kids and anyone who supported that." A member of TPUSA calmly responds, "No. That is such an assumption." The LGBTQ activist – who was not identified – claims that the TPUSA member is lying. Pointing to the conservative pamphlets with the faces of the Founding Fathers on the Turning Point USA table, the transgender activist asserts, "Such...

None of the many subversive projects underway is more cruel or cuts closer to the heart of human nature than promoting sexual conflict and gender ambiguity. The Soviet Union was a huge and diverse empire. It was also the control center of the International Communist Movement. It embraced hundreds of ethnic communities, national identities, and racial groups. It was the very essence of multiculturalism. Yet, on great state occasions, whenever you saw party leaders reviewing those dazzling Soviet parades of goose-stepping troops and sophisticated weaponry, who was standing atop Lenin’s Tomb? A bunch of old, fat White guys. No diversity....

President Biden’s Justice Department is recommending no jail time for an abortion activist who scrawled “F–k Catholics” on a church’s walls, assaulted a church employee and defaced several religious statues in reaction to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade last summer, according to a report. Nota, a transgender man, was charged with a hate crime and assault for vandalizing the church and tossing rocks at and spray-painting an employee of the church, according to the Bellevue Reporter. “The graffiti painted on church walls and artifacts was anti-Catholic,” the Bellevue Police Department said ​at the time on Twitter​​​​. “​[A] hate...

Biden's administration previously came down hard on pro-life activistsPresident Biden's Justice Department offered what critics are calling a sweetheart plea deal to a vandal who admitted to defacing a Catholic church with profane graffiti, destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary, assaulting a church worker, and resisting arrest. A plea agreement reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that the DOJ recommends zero jail time for the perp, Maeve Nota, a 31-year-old transgender individual who vandalized the St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue, Washington, following Roe v. Wade's overturning last June. Nota sharply contrasts with the Biden administration's earlier approach of...

Rep. Matt Gaetz said this week that he received a death threat following remarks he made about the school shooting last month in Nashville, and argued that leftists are driving their own side to violence with end-times rhetoric. Speaking on Monday on his podcast “Firebrand,” the Fort Walton Beach Republican said, “Innocent people are forced to share a country with dangerous people,” and that violence is a natural consequence when Democrats repeatedly tell their followers that “Republicans are evil, and racist and fascist, and must be stopped at all costs.”

Rep. Matt Gaetz said this week that he wonders if the recent spate of mass shootings, such as at a Nashville school last month and at a Louisville bank on Monday are results from the work of Big Pharma. Speaking on Monday on his podcast “Firebrand,” the Fort Walton Beach Republican suggested that easy access to mind-altering drugs are making both society more dangerous and drugmakers more wealthy.

Rather than denounce the attacks and apparent extortion efforts by the mob of LGBT extremists, the university ultimately celebrated those responsible. An SFSU student association has since gone one step further, accusing the esteemed, All-American athlete of spreading violence and hatred, calling for university administrators to "hold themselves accountable." -snip Victim blaming Karina Zamora, president of the Associated Students of SFSU, a nonprofit student organization at the university, issued a statement Monday, accusing Turning Point USA and Riley Gaines of spreading "hateful rhetoric" and promoting violence.

A transgender activist made an argument for all children to be put on puberty blockers until they can make an informed decision on their gender. “If children can't consent to puberty blockers which pause any permanent changes even with the relevant professional evaluation, how can they consent to the permanent and irreversible changes that come with their own puberty with no professional evaluation whatsoever?” YouTuber Zinnia Jones, also known as Lauren McNamara, tweeted this month.

The goal: to dismantle the rights and liberty of every American citizen of today and future generations. A new bill introduced by the woke Left is one that should send a chill down the spine of every sane American (we are still the majority). Representative Pramila Jayapal, a proud proponent of the most destructive ideas to American principles, has proposed the Transgender Bill of Rights. According to an opposing political colleague and favorite target of denigration from the Left, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, it is “the most insane piece of legislation I’ve ever seen.” As quoted in the introductory text...

Two thirds of US voters say they want Nashville police to release the manifesto of transgender school shooter Audrey Hale — a sign of growing frustration with the investigation into the deadly attack two weeks ago. Americans by wide margins want to see the screed, which many believe will reveal an agenda of violent trans extremism, and equal numbers are concerned that Hale's attack will inspire more copycat strikes on Christian schools, pollsters found. The Rasmussen Reports survey heaps pressure on Nashville cops to release Hale's writings, even as officials backtrack on claims she left behind a manifesto, and say...

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was reportedly assaulted by a man in a dress and mobbed by verbally abusive protesters after giving a speech Thursday at San Francisco State University. Rather than denounce the violence or castigate protesters for hounding the 23-year-old All-American swimmer into hiding for three hours, the university instead extolled those responsible. Jamillah Moore, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management at SFSU, issued a statement thanking students involved in the protest, which at one stage devolved further into an extortionist effort. -snip In addition to allegedly being struck multiple times by a man in a...

Friday, FNC host Tucker Carlson reacted to an attack on former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, who spoke out against transgender females competing in female collegiate athletics at San Francisco State University a night earlier. Carlson proclaimed that the left, specifically the Biden administration, promoted the transgenderism movement with what he described as “religious extremists.” Transcript as follows: CARLSON: This is the saddest and at the same time, by far the most hopeful day on the Christian calendar. There was a time not so long ago when the overwhelming majority of Americans observed Good Friday. They got up, they...

College swimming champion Riley Gaines says she plans to take legal action after San Francisco State University praised students for 'peaceful' protest at an event where she claims she was assaulted and held for ransom. Gaines, 23, says she was forced to barricade herself inside a room for around three hours at the campus Thursday night after a group of activists ambushed her, in an alleged assault she called 'violent, completely wrong and criminal.'
