    I NEED A SURVEY TO TELL ME THIS? Poll: college-educated women end friendships over politics.If you wanted to drill down to the biggest dividing factor here, it’s the portion of the coalition made up of college-educated women – a cohort that now dominates the politics of the Democratic coalition. In their circles, they say differences of political opinion have led to broken friendships with friends and neighbors at a more than 40-point rate – 67 percent to 24 percent.One factor here could be an underlying belief that your friends and neighbors are just flat-out racists over their political opinions.

    Campaigners say the true rate of paternity fraud - the intentional misidentification of a child's biological father - remains unknownMen are being left heartbroken after investing time, resources, love and energy into raising children they believed were theirs - only to find out it was all a lie. This breach of trust not only impacts the men who were falsely led to believe they were fathers but also deeply hurts the children involved and others connected to the situation. Paternity fraud refers to the deliberate misidentification of a child's biological father. One of the most shocking aspects of this issue...

    A young female rugby player who was left screaming in agony after a transgender rival tore apart her knee ligaments has accused sporting chiefs of letting her down. Elena King, 20, suffered a torn ACL and MCL in January in the Netherlands after her biologically male opponent popped her left knee out of its socket with a rash challenge. Now facing lifelong pain and six months of physiotherapy just to run again, she is asking why the Dutch Rugby Association allows transgender athletes to compete against women.

    Through relentless narrative distortion, mass formation tactics, and AI-driven censorship, Democratic-aligned propaganda has destabilized the mental health of millions of young liberal women-especially those radicalized in academia and conditioned to see Donald Trump as an existential threat. This essay documents the psychological wreckage of believing lies, and exposes the party that weaponized fear and rage to mobilize votes and radicalize emotionally vulnerable young women. The Psychological Damage of Narrative LiesA quiet but devastating crisis has been festering beneath the surface of American politics, ignored and rationalized by the very party that claims to champion mental health. According to Pew (2020),...

    The New York Police Department arrested 61 females after anti-Israel agitators stormed Columbia University's Butler Library on Wednesday as students were studying for finals. In total, the NYPD made 80 arrests – 19 males and 61 females, according to a source. A source also said at least 50 of the 80 protesters arrested were Columbia University students. Protesters renamed the Butler Library "Basel Al-Araj Popular University." Students at the Ivy League institution said protesters climbed on a desk and chanted "Free Palestine," and demanded that the university divest from Israel. At the entrance gate to Columbia University, a security guard...

    [Catholic Caucus] Pope says Church must ‘confront forms of paganism’ in secularismIn his meeting with his brother Jesuits in Belgium, Pope Francis call secularization a “complex phenomenon” and noted sometimes the Church must “confront forms of paganism.”Speaking to 150 Jesuits in Brussels on Sep. 28, the pontiff answered a question from a member living in Amsterdam, one of the most secularized cities in the world.In his reply, Francis noted he didn’t mean a paganism like the one in the ancient world.“We do not need a statue of a pagan god to talk about paganism: The very environment, the air we...

    Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene got into screaming matches and a gavel-smashing marathon at Wednesday's hearing on protecting women's sports. The hearing on "Unfair Play: Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports" featured a signature rant by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-SC, and Rep. Lateefah Simon, D-Cal, suggest that protecting women's sports will lead to bringing back racial segregation. Mace ensured the hearing ended with a boom when she got into a heated back-and-forth with witness Fatima Goss Graves, CEO of the National Women's Law Center. Mace hit Goss Graves with one of the oldest tricks...

    From 2021 to 2022, abortions, not screenings, made up approximately 97 percent of Planned Parenthood’s ‘pregnancy resolution services.’Planned Parenthood, the biggest abortion provider in the nation, wants Congress, its donors, and its allies in the corporate media to believe that its existence is necessary to deliver health care to women in need. A new analysis from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, however, found that community health-care centers with resources devoted to women’s health instead of prioritizing abortion outnumber Planned Parenthood locations 15 to one.The researchers found that 5,500 federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) across the U.S. provide a “full range of...

    The Left has decided that women and girls are truly second-class citizens these days, forcing them to take a back seat to delusional men who think they're women and allowing those men into female-only spaces and sports. It's an offensive and unpopular position. But the Left clings to it like the last life raft off the Titanic, and they're harming a lot of girls and women in the process. Someone finally created a database of all the males competing in girls' sports and it's worse than we imagined: https://x.com/ifihadastick/status/1919743952514629743 @ifihadastick No one was tracking how often males are competing in...

    It’s vain and futile to suppose that the disordered minds of Western Civ’s entrenched Wokester Jacobins might ever be subject to polite persuasion about anything they believe. They believe only in the power of pushing their fellow citizens around, and so, alas, the only persuasion that might conceivably work to stop their infantile assaults on liberty, truth, and decency is to push back harder until they suffer and break.This is something that most parents with young children instinctively understand. You don’t negotiate with two-year-olds. You tell them how things are and what sort of behavior is required of them, as...

    Open source AI models are more likely to recommend men than women for jobs, particularly the high-paying ones, a new study has found. While bias in AI models is a well-established risk, the findings highlight the unresolved issue as the usage of AI proliferates among recruiters and corporate human resources departments. "We don't conclusively know which companies might be using these models," Rochana Chaturvedi, a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois in the US and a co-author of the study, told The Register. "The companies usually don't disclose this and our findings imply that such disclosures might be crucial...

    The Trump administration said Monday that the University of Pennsylvania violated laws guaranteeing women equal opportunities in athletics by letting a transgender swimmer compete on the school's women's team and into team facilities. The administration's statement does not name Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who last competed for the Ivy League school in Philadelphia in 2022 and was the first openly transgender athlete to win a Division I title that year -- an award Thomas now faces losing. But the investigation opened in February by the U.S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights focused on Thomas, who became a leading...

    Rowling posted a photo of herself celebrating on X after the U.K. Supreme Court did not recognize transgender women as women under the country's Equality Act."The Last of Us" star Pedro Pascal accused author J.K. Rowling of "heinous loser behavior" for her celebratory post following a U.K. court decision that did not recognize transgender women as women. Pascal hit hard at the "Harry Potter" author in the comment section of an Instagram video that called for a total boycott of Rowling's popular franchise. The activist Tariq Raouf posted the video last week criticizing Rowling for “reveling” in the U.K. Supreme...

    Downing Street has said that British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer no longer believes that so-called “transgender women” are actually women in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling confirming the nature of biological reality. Last week, Britain’s top court found that “the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man,” meaning that supposedly transgender individuals will be prohibited from using single-sex spaces like female-only changing rooms or bathrooms. The ruling will also likely bar biological males from competing in women’s sports. While Prime Minister Starmer has previously struggled with the concept of binary...

    A federal judge has ruled against censured Maine State Rep Laurel Libby, siding with State House Speaker Ryan Fecteau. Libby filed a federal lawsuit after she was censored in the House chamber over a social media post that depicted a high school trans-identified male winning the state championship, despite President Donald Trump’s order banning trans-identified males competing in women’s sports. District Judge Melissa R. DuBose wrote in her ruling, "After carefully considering the case law, the details presented by the parties about the House governing rules, and the process by which the House adopted the Resolution and imposed the censure...

    Summary - The UK Supreme Court rules that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex - Judges say the "concept of sex is binary" while cautioning that the landmark ruling should not be seen as victory of one side over another - Transgender people still have legal protection from discrimination, the court adds - Today's decision comes after a long-running legal battle between the Scottish government and a women's group - The Scottish government had argued that transgender people with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) are entitled to sex-based protections, while For Women Scotland argued they...

    The new system came from a private/public innovation challenge aimed at women who fly jets and say they often won't drink water for hours to avoid the 'mess' of traditional relief systems. Believe it or not, pilots relieving themselves mid-flight has become a national security issue. For decades, many military pilots who heard nature’s call — particularly those who fly fighters and especially women in those planes — faced an unpleasant reality: use the decades-old ‘piddle packs’ or other devices designed for mid-flight peeing, hold it the whole way, or risk dangerous dehydration by drinking so little water that you...

    Transgender women are not legally women, the Supreme Court has declared in a landmark ruling. Handing down judgment, Lord Hodge said it was the court’s unanimous view that the terms “woman” and “sex” in the 2010 Equality Act referred to biological sex, not acquired gender. Gender-critical campaigners hailed Wednesday’s ruling as a victory for common sense, claiming gender “self-ID is dead”. It follows a years-long legal battle between campaign group For Women Scotland and the Scottish Government over the definition of a woman. Lord Hodge told the court: “The unanimous decision of this court is that the definition of the...
