EXCLUSIVE: Suicide Hotline Operator Pushes ‘Radical’ Trans Ideology In Open Revolt Against Trump Admin

At least one major suicide hotline operator continues sending callers in some states to transgender activists, despite the Trump administration prohibiting the use of federal funds to promote gender ideology, internal documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation reveal.

The 988 suicide hotline’s “press 3” option that routed young LGBTQ-identifying callers to transgender activist groups ended in July when the Trump administration announced it would instead “focus on serving all help seekers.” Yet the move hasn’t uprooted gender ideology from a system intended to support the most vulnerable in times of crisis.

Protocall, a taxpayer-funded 988 service provider, tells its employees that “gender affirming care is an appropriate decision for minors.” The company did not respond to questions about its policies.

When a caller dials the 988 hotline, they are routed to their local crisis center or a national backup if the local center is unavailable. Protocall functions as a national 988 backup and operates the state crisis response lines in New Hampshire and New Mexico, as well as holding contracts with public colleges in states like Arizona, Virginia, Pennsylvania, California and New York.

Subcontractors like Protocall, who receive funds from government grantees, must still comply with federal law and executive orders, including President Donald Trump’s day-one order stating funds “shall not be used to promote gender ideology,” a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesperson told the DCNF.

Counselors who work for Protocall are expected to agree with the company’s stances on gender identity — and are tested on their understanding of the issues nearly every three months, former employee Jaime Brooks told the DCNF. Brooks left the company in December after working there for just over a year.

“LGBTQ2SIA individuals, often out of necessity, learn to build community and their own families of choice that we can count on for acceptance, support, and sharing in the jobs and important moments of life,” a Protocall guide on “Supporting LGBTQSIA Callers/Visitors” states. “As crisis counselors, helping individuals identify their supports and possible avenues for finding support (such as through social media, local queer resource centers, queer recovery groups and affirming/queer spiritual and religious organizations) can be invaluable.”

If an adult must be involved in “mitigating risk” for youth, counselors should “ask the youth if they feel safe involving their parent and how we should refer to them with their parent (i.e. it may not be safe for them if we use their chosen name or their pronouns),” the guide recommends.

“We can be creative in considering who is a safe adult in their life who we might be able to involve in safety planning,” it states.

Brooks told the DCNF she was required to review and discuss this document with a group. Quizzes accompany other company trainings, such as a “Trans* 101” training that claims that transgender individuals’ “right to exist, socially, medically and legally, are actively and increasingly legislated against every year.”

“It is deeply troubling that the organization operating our nation’s suicide hotline is pushing a radical, disproven ideology onto vulnerable adolescents in crisis,” Do No Harm Executive Director Kristina Rasmussen told the DCNF. “This taxpayer-subsidized program should provide compassionate, life-saving care to confused children, not send them further down a path that can lead to lasting mental and physical harm.”

‘Unethical Behavior’

In her Dec. 23 resignation letter, Brooks raised issues with the company “distributing resources to minors that facilitate their access to sex rejecting medical procedures and drugs.”

“I no longer wish to be an accomplice to such criminal and unethical behavior,” she wrote, citing recent actions by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that will restrict Medicaid-participating hospitals from offering sex-change procedures to minors.

A list of resources provided to counselors recommends the Trevor Project, the initial sole operator of the federal government’s LGBTQ youth hotline. The Trevor Project still operates its own private crisis hotline, as well as Trevor Space, an online community that parents have criticized for allowing minors and adults ages 13-24 to discuss topics related to sexuality.

Trevor Space is “a breeding ground for grooming,” Kevin Brown, a former law enforcement officer who founded a nonprofit that identifies victims of human trafficking, warned California lawmakers in June. As a 70-year-old man, Brown was able to create an account on Trevor Space posing as a 15-year-old boy and connect with other users in a chat room, including an individual who wanted to take their conversation to Discord.

The Trevor Project opposes policies that require educators to inform parents if their child is using a new name or pronouns at school, while supporting policies that allow men to use women’s’ bathrooms and locker rooms

The Trevor Project told the DCNF that TrevorSpace, which is separate from its crisis services, “is built with LGBTQ+ youth safety as a top priority.”

“The platform was created for LGBTQ+ young people ages 13-24, and there are safeguards in place to prevent direct messaging between minors and those who are over the age of 18,” the organization said in a statement. “TrevorSpace actively collaborates with leading safety solution organizations to ensure the safety and security of all users, especially those under age 18.”

Protocall’s recommended resource list also includes PFLAG, an activist group that defends irreversible sex-change procedures as “medically necessary” for minors, and the Family Acceptance Project, an organization that develops resources and programs designed to convince families to accept their child’s gender confusion.

Though hotline callers can request to speak with a male or female counselor, their calls are sometimes received by individuals of the opposite sex who identify as transgender, according to Brooks. Young callers who request to speak with a counselor of the same sex often have sensitive concerns about issues like sexual assault and puberty, she explained.

“The fact that the training documents suggest hiding information from parents is both alarming and part and parcel of the gender activist playbook,” Rasmussen told the DCNF. “That the CEO of Protocall has doubled down on DEI, the twin pillar of the crumbling identity politics movement, is further proof that there must be additional scrutiny on the training provided to the people tasked with the critical job of interceding in young people’s times of crisis. It also calls into question why groups like this continue to hold key public service contracts at all.”

‘We Will Not Retreat’

Protocall has pulled in millions from the federally-funded administrator of the 988 hotline, Vibrant Emotional Health, previously known by another name, the Mental Health Association of New York City.

It received nearly $5.85 million in the 2023 fiscal year and $2.67 million in the 2022 fiscal year, according to Vibrant Emotional Health’s tax records. Vibrant Emotional Health did not respond to a request for comment.

Protocall has a contract with New Hampshire worth $10,328,136, effective through June 2027. New Hampshire’s funding for the company draws on federal grants from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), according to the contract.

“SAMHSA funds cannot be used for activities that violate federal law or the requirements set forth in current Executive Orders,” HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon told the DCNF.

“This applies to SAMHSA funding of grantees through subcontractors,” he said. “As of October 1, all SAMHSA grantees, including Vibrant, were required to certify that every federally supported activity complies fully with Title IX, Title VI, and Executive Order 14168.”

Meanwhile, the company’s Chief Executive Officer Phil Evans vowed to resist the administration when Trump took office, reaffirming the “company’s commitment to our ongoing DEl work as well as our unwavering support of our LGBTQ2SIA+ employees.”

“Here at Protocall, we will not retreat from the progress our organization has made, the diversity we’ve built, and the safe community we’ve sought to create for every single person we work with,” Evans wrote in an internal Jan. 27, 2025 email to staff.

“Here at Protocall, we full-throatedly reject this Administration’s efforts to roll back basic civil rights and DEl programs,” he wrote. “Here at Protocall, no executive order from this President, or any law this congress may eventually pass, will change how we choose to treat each other and the culture we seek to create. As a private company, our continued pursuit of these values is outside the purview of this Administration’s agenda.”

Evans did not respond to a request for comment.

Protocall’s website notes that its DEI committee, as well as its “BIPOC and LGBTQ2SIA” groups, help “create and review policies and initiatives.” In an end-of-year Leadership Q&A shared with staff, executives stated that affirming DEI commitments made them especially proud of Protocall in 2025.

“When we stood up and proudly reaffirmed our commitment to DEI when other organizations were forced, or chose, to shrink away from it, and when other organizations had to shut their doors, we were able to open ours even wider,” the internal document states.

Other company guidance recommends “normalizing” adverse impacts of minority stress, validating “unique strengths of LGBTQ people” and affirming “healthy, rewarding expressions of sexuality and gender.”

“Collaborate with the caller about how they want to be described in documentation (‘what would you like me to put down for your gender?’” counselors are told. “Protocall follows the nationally recognized standard that gender affirming care is an appropriate decision for minors and their families, and not in any way child abuse or reportable as such.”

Along with funding it receives through states and the national 988 administrator, Protocall is part of an ongoing federal grant project with a tech company, Lyssn.io, to develop an AI-based tool that helps assess the suicide risk of callers.

“Protocall serves a diverse clientele with an equally diverse community of call-takers,” Lyssn Co-Founder Dr. Zac Imel said in a 2023 statement. “It’s so important that Lyssn’s AI algorithms continue to advance in a way that reflects and honors all providers and clients across the spectrum. Partnering with Protocall to do just that is a step toward that kind of inclusion.”

While the Trump administration pulled the plug on the specialized LGBTQ+ hotline, several states are pursuing alternatives. In Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro announced state officials would work with call centers to “facilitate LGBTQ+ clinical trainings.”

Trainings ensured centers can provide “a warm handoff to the Trevor Project,” Secretary Val Arkoosh wrote on X.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted Dec. 9 to reinstate the “press 3” option locally.

“SAMHSA plans to issue a new cooperative agreement for its 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Administrator in early FY26 ensuring that anyone who contacts the 988 Lifeline will receive access to skilled, caring, culturally competent crisis counselors who will help with suicidal, substance misuse, or mental health crises, or any other kind of emotional distress,” Nixon told the DCNF. “Anyone who calls the Lifeline will receive compassion and help.”

Democrats Just As Godless As You’d Imagine, Study Shows

January 6, 2026/in Anti-Semitism, Communism, Elections, Hot Topics, Marxism, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Queers and pedophiles, Religion, Social Issues, Socialism, Terrorism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Daily Caller

The religious gap between Republicans and Democrats is bigger than ever, with two-thirds of Kamala Harris voters “seldom” or “never” attending church, an analysis of a new study found.

The “God gap,” the difference in worship between the parties, was determined using data collected by the Cooperative Election Study, according to political scientist Ryan Burge.

The study found that by the 2024 election, a majority of Trump voters had attended a religious service at least yearly, with 43% of Republicans reporting at least monthly attendance at a religious service.

In contrast, 44% of Harris voters reported “never” attending church, with another 21% reporting “seldom” attendance at religious services.

“For every Harris voter who attended church weekly in 2024, there were about four Harris voters who attended less than once a year,” Burge summarized. “If that’s not the God gap, I don’t know what is.”

However, Democrats and Republicans are both more removed from religious services than ever, according to the data.

Since 2008, the percentage of Republicans reporting at least yearly attendance at a religious service has dropped from 71% to 57%, with most of the difference attributed to an 11-point increase in those who “never” attend religious services and a 7-point decline in those who attend a religious service more than once a week.

“The other thing worth noting is that the share of Republican voters who attend weekly hasn’t really changed much; it’s the more-than-once-a-week people who have started to disappear,” Burge said, pointing out that Republicans are twice as likely to not go to church at present than in 2008.

Although GOP religiosity is at an all-time low, the “God gap” between the parties has never been greater.

In 2008, only 24% of Democrats “never” attended church, but that figure rose to 44% in 2024, with sharp declines in all other categories of religious service attendance.

Here’s the God Gap in one graph.

The share of Republicans who expressed an atheist/agnostic belief in God was 4% in 1988.

It was 4% in 2024.

Burge also broke down the Cooperative Election Study’s reported religious makeup of the parties.

Since 2008, the Republican Party has seen a slight drop in support from mainline Christians, white Catholics and Latter-day Saints. During the same time frame, the party has gained increased support from white and nonwhite evangelicals, Black Protestants, Orthodox Christians, Jews, atheists, agnostics and those identifying as “nothing in particular.”

Burge found that 42% of Trump’s votes came from the evangelical community. There is no more important voting bloc in the country than evangelicals if you are Republican. It’s basically impossible to win any race without their support,” he wrote.

“The only other group that really registers much at all are the ‘nothing in particular’ people,” Burge continued, citing that category’s growth in GOP representation from 8% to 12%.

Atheists and agnostics now make up only 5% of all GOP voters, with approximately 80% of Trump voters being Christian.

“To be even more specific, 70% came from white Christians,” Burge said. “The GOP is the party of white Christianity.”

Since 2008, the Democratic Party has lost support from white evangelicals, mainline Christians and Catholics. The party has received a small increase in support from nonwhite evangelicals and Jews, with most of its growth coming from those who identify as religious “nones.”

Burge concluded that the only reason Democrats are not getting “blown out in every election” is due to their support from atheists, agnostics and those who identify as “nones.”

“The GOP vote is 80% Christian and 17% nonreligious. The Democratic vote is 48% Christian and 45% nonreligious,” Burge summarized the current “God Gap,” adding that future elections will go the way of whatever party can “build a slightly bigger coalition without alienating their base.”

Has the West Given Up Protecting Its Citizens?

Two centuries ago, gentlemen routinely carried swords or pistols to protect themselves, their families and their property. On the unlit dirt backroads of England or colonial America, armed highwaymen like Dick Turpin could demand “your money or your life!” without warning.

There was no 911. No local law enforcement or highway patrol on the roads. In colonial America, frontiersmen had to protect themselves from hostile Native American tribes, the French and wild animals—sometimes using homemade weapons. In the wild West, there were local sheriffs, and deputies if the town was big enough, but anything exceptional required the sheriff to call up a posse of armed volunteers.

This changed with the advent of the police. In 1829, British Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel founded the London Metropolitan Police, which is still headquartered in Scotland Yard. The constables he hired became known as “bobbies” or “peelers” and gradually adopted the blue uniforms with distinctive hats that we know today.

American towns, states and cities began to hire their own police forces in the following years.

The fundamental deal was that citizens gave the state a monopoly on violence and punishment, in exchange for the state keeping them safe. But is that deal still holding?

In Charlotte, North Carolina, in August, Iryna Zarutska was stabbed to death on a train by a fare-jumper who was out on bail after countless prior arrests. Her killer was walking free because a local judge didn’t think his obvious mental illness and violent past merited prison. And transit authorities, like many across America, didn’t enforce the requirement to buy a ticket.

In Chicago in November, another young woman, Bethany MaGee, was set on fire on public transport by another recidivist. In December, an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported allegedly stabbed a man on the same light rail line where Zarutska was murdered.

These are just three of so many tragic, preventable instances where the state failed its part of the bargain. It failed to keep dangerous, unstable people in jail or institutionalized. To enforce basic civility like having to buy a ticket to access buses and trains. To keep out dangerous foreign nationals who have no right to be here.

But though murder and violent crime are the worst things from which the state has a duty to protect citizens, keeping their property safe is important too.

In 2014, California passed Proposition 47, making the theft of under $950 no longer a felony but a misdemeanor. Since the police rarely bothered with such cases, thieves had a license to shoplift.

And they did, with organized rings targeting specific stores and goods, and re-selling stolen merchandise in a billion-dollar industry. After a decade, even Californians had enough—they voted a new proposition in 2024 to return to saner law enforcement.

Many large American cities from Chicago to New York have far-left, “progressive” prosecutors who routinely refuse to prosecute petty crime and shoplifting, with predictable results. In the U.S., stores can’t bring private prosecutions, so if the police won’t help, there is little they can do. In most big cities, police are struggling to keep up with 911 calls.

Most chain stores tell their employees not to interfere with thieves. According to one union representative, that’s because the stores fear injury to employees, the thief and other shoppers—and the ensuing lawsuits—more than the cost of losing merchandise, which they can just pass on to customers.

Britain has lately experienced an explosion of shoplifting, and a feckless response from police. The British Retail Consortium, a trade group, believes there were 20 million shoplifting cases in England and Wales in the first half of 2025. Official records showed only 529,994 thefts reported to police, but many shop owners don’t report shoplifting as they know the police won’t act.

According to British Transport Police, thefts on the London Underground were up 33% this year. In 2024, there were 15,225 thefts across the system. The most the police will do in response is note the theft for the owner’s insurance claim.

A natural response to the state’s abdication of duty has been to return to the past: If the state won’t protect you and your property, protect yourself.

Even this carries risks. In New York in 2022, store owner Jose Alba was charged with murder after defending himself with a knife. In 2023, also in New York, Daniel Penny was charged with criminally negligent homicide after holding down a man who was threatening passengers on the subway.

It’s a scandal when the state won’t protect taxpaying businesses and individuals, but it’s total injustice that it won’t let them protect themselves. And a recipe for chaos.

Trans-Terrorist Who Killed Six at Nashville Christian School Bought Guns with Federal Grant Money

January 1, 2026/in Assassination, Courts & Law, Culture War, Featured, Gun Rights, Hot Topics, Marxism, Queers and pedophiles, Socialism, Terrorism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Geller Report

Increasingly, evidence suggests that federal taxpayer dollars are being funneled—through NGOs, grants, fraud, and systemic corruption—into the hands of those destroying this country.

The latest example comes from a report by the Tennessee Star, which indicates that the transgender individual who murdered six people at Covenant Christian School in Nashville in March 2023 may have purchased firearms using federal student aid money. Journal pages released this week by the Federal Bureau of Investigation show the shooter meticulously comparing firearms and recording grant payments received through FAFSA and Nossi College of Art and Design—including Pell Grant funds—alongside notes about gun purchases. The documentation appears to corroborate statements previously made by the shooter’s parents to Nashville police, with the mother bluntly stating, “It was the grant money.” The case underscores a growing and alarming pattern: taxpayer funds meant to educate and uplift are instead being misused, with no meaningful safeguards, oversight, or accountability—sometimes with deadly consequences.

Report: Transgender Who Attacked Nashville Christian School Bought Guns with Federal Grant Money

By AWR Hawkins

A report by the Tennessee Star appears to show that the transgender individual who killed six at Covenant Christian school on March 27, 2023, purchased her guns with federal grant money.

The Star points to pages from a journal the she allegedly kept during 2021.

Copies of the journal pages were released by the FBI Monday, and readers can see how the transgender shooter compared and contrasted certain aspects of various guns–including various sight configurations and accuracy.

After weighing different types of guns, the Star noted that the shooter, a woman who felt she was a man, referenced the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and numerous payments received from Nossi College when she was attending the Nossi College of Art and Design in Nashville.

At the top of one entry, the transgender shooter wrote, “FASFA [sic] grant checks started at $2,050.86.”

Below that she noted: “$2,656.87 (x3 checks from Nossi).” The next ledger entry states, “+$530.00 (x1 check Nossi) ($3,186.87).”

The Star summarized: “[The] reference to Hale’s federal student aid, located in the writings next to her entries about guns she considered buying, appears to corroborate the claims made by her parents to Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) detectives in 2023, when they told law enforcement their child purchased the firearms using federal Pell Grant money.”

Speaking to the Nashville Metropolitan Police, the shooter’s mother said, “It was the grant money.”

Green New Deal.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion.
Defund the police and replace them with social workers.
Force social engineering onto our military, e.g. CRT/DEI/Climate Change/LGBTQ , etc., rather than combat readiness and deployability (fortunately Trump and Hegseth are whittling away at these but they still exist).

DOJ Releases More Epstein Files, Calls New Trump Claims ‘Untrue And Sensationalist’

December 24, 2025/in Child Sex, Child Sex Trafficking, Courts & Law, Elections, Hot Topics, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Queers and pedophiles, Social Issues, Socialism, Terrorism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Daily Caller

The Department of Justice (DOJ) released a new tranche of Epstein-related files that include claims involving President Donald Trump it described as “untrue and sensationalist.”

The DOJ announced the release of nearly 30,000 additional documents related to the late registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a post online. However, the department said some of the records contain false and exaggerated claims against President Donald Trump.

“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,” the DOJ wrote. “To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”

The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

The Epstein files available on the DOJ website are the latest release and follow several earlier rollouts by the department.

Lawmakers have accused the department of flouting the law that prompted the records’ release. The DOJ said in a previous post on X that additional documents will be made public but noted it must first review hundreds of thousands of pages in “an arduous process.”

In a 2020 email, a federal prosecutor claimed Trump “traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported,” citing at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996.

One trip included only three passengers — Trump, Epstein and a 20-year-old whose name was redacted, according to the email. Trump was allegedly also listed on other flights alongside his then-wife Marla Maples and two of his children, Tiffany and Eric.

“On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case,” the email alleged.

The latest document release shows that Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club was subpoenaed in 2021 as part of the case against Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The subpoena directed the club to turn over “[a]ny and all employment records relating to” an individual whose name was redacted, according to the document.

— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) November 18, 2025

The files also include a letter allegedly signed “J. Epstein” and addressed to convicted sexual abuser Larry Nassar. While the alleged letter is dated before Epstein’s death on Aug. 10, 2019, an image released by the DOJ appears to show it was postmarked Aug. 13, 2019 — three days after his death.

The DOJ first posted Tuesday on X that it was examining the alleged letter’s “veracity.” However, the department said it was fake in a subsequent post.

“The fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time,” the DOJ wrote, saying the FBI determined that the writing does not seem to match Epstein’s and the document was postmarked three days after Epstein died.

“The return address did not list the jail where Epstein was held and did not include his inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail,” the department continued.

The DOJ said the envelope was postmarked in Virginia — not New York, where Epstein was jailed at the time. The return address listed the wrong facility and omitted his inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail, according to the department.

Epstein allegedly wrote in the letter that the two men “shared one thing … our love & caring for young ladies and the hope they reach their full potential.”

The letter allegedly said, “Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch,’ whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system.”

The newest release comes after the Trump administration missed a statutory Friday deadline to release all government records related to Epstein.

— U.S. Department of Justice (@TheJusticeDept) December 21, 2025

The Justice Department was required to disclose the files by 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 19 under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Trump signed into law on Nov. 19. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the DOJ has begun releasing Epstein-related materials but will continue publishing additional records on a rolling basis as reviews continue and victim protections are applied.

The Daily Caller contacted the White House for comment, but a spokesperson deferred to the DOJ’s statement.

DOJ Turns Over Epstein Documents To House Oversight

House Votes to Criminalize Chemical Castration and Mutilation of Children but 211 Democrats vote NO!

December 22, 2025/in Commentary, Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Healthcare, Hot Topics, Marxism, News, Policy, Politics, Queers and pedophiles, Science, Social Issues, Socialism, Terrorism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Geller Report

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, legislation designed to criminalize so-called “transgender treatments” for minors and impose penalties on medical professionals—and potentially parents—who facilitate irreversible drugs or surgeries on children. Children’s advocacy groups praised the vote as a major step toward safeguarding minors.

The bill passed with near-unanimous Republican support, with three Democrats—Reps. Henry Cuellar (TX), Don Davis (NC), and Vicente Gonzalez (TX)—voting in favor, while four Republicans opposed it. Advocacy groups such as Gays Against Groomers and Libs of TikTok publicly celebrated the outcome.

The legislation amends federal criminal law to address what it describes as chemical castration and bodily mutilation of minors, citing growing evidence of long-term harms. A recent Trump–Kennedy HHS report detailed serious risks linked to pediatric medical transition, including infertility, sexual dysfunction, impaired bone density, cardiovascular disease, psychiatric disorders, surgical complications, and regret, and accused leading transgender-health organizations of suppressing unfavorable research.

While the Trump administration has already acted via executive order to restrict puberty blockers and surgeries for minors, this bill would codify those protections into federal law and specify penalties. The measure now faces a steep challenge in the Senate, but supporters view its House passage as a significant move toward long-term child protection.

The title of the bill is the “Protect Children’s Innocence Act;” the yeas were 216, the nays 211. The question is: Why are the 211 American members of Congress who are unwilling to protect our minors?

Blade: Washington Blade: Doctors and providers who administer medical treatments for gender dysphoria to patients younger than 18, including hormones and puberty blockers, would be subject to Class 3 felony charges punishable by up to 10 years in prison if the legislation is enacted.

PJ Media: Catherine Salgado of PJ Media: The Trump administration has already taken action to ban puberty blockers and surgeries for minors, but this bill could solidify the executive order’s requirements as official federal law, and prescribe the specific penalties. It remains to be seen if it can pass the Senate, but the passage of the bill in the House is certainly a step in the right direction toward protecting our children from transgender ideology for years to come.

Senate Democrats Block Women’s Sports Bill

This past Monday night, Senate Democrats blocked the opportunity for Congress to permanently protect women’s sports from men who believe they are women and desire to compete in female categories based on their subjective feelings.

Sponsored by Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama), the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act would have codified the original intent of Title IX, that women should have access to their own athletic and educational opportunities. This is not a bill that should be necessary, but the last several years have proven that it is, thanks in part to the Biden Administration. Their attempted rewrite of Title IX to include “gender identity” into the definition of sex led to school districts and colleges across the nation allowing men who identify as women to compete on women’s sports teams.

Last month, President Trump issued an Executive Order clarifying Title IX, barring men from women’s sports; however, some schools and states continue to flout the White House’s directive. In Maine, a male high school student won a girls’ pole vaulting state championship, leading to a viral confrontation between Maine Governor Janet Mills and President Trump himself. On March 1 of this year, a man set the nationwide record for highest triple jump mark in high school women’s track and field. This issue is not going away.

That’s why it is critical for Congress to act to make it the law of the land that women’s sports are for women only. Earlier this year, the House of Representatives passed a similar version of the bill. When given the opportunity in the Senate, every Democrat chose to vote against protecting women.

Unlike the House, where legislation can pass with a simple majority of votes, the Senate rules require legislation to first pass a procedural “cloture” vote before moving to the final vote. That cloture vote requires not a majority but rather 60 votes. With a 53-seat majority, that meant seven democrats needed to vote with their Republican colleagues for the bill to pass. Not a single one of them made that choice…….

RECKONING: Epstein Files Photos Hit Democrats Hard

December 22, 2025/in Censorship, Child Sex, Child Sex Trafficking, Courts & Law, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, Marxism, News, Policy, Politics, Queers and pedophiles, Social Issues, Terrorism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Geller Report

They SCREAMED for the files, now they’re running for the hills.

The 68 photos also feature New York Times columnist David Brooks, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and prominent magician David Blaine, along with additional snapshots of filmmaker Woody Allen, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, political theorist Noam Chomsky,

FBI was warned that Epstein was into child porn — but ignored it for 10 years, docs show

A former employee of late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein alerted the FBI about his fascination with “child pornography” in the mid-1990s and that he threatened to “burn her house down,” but her warning fell on deaf ears, shocking new documents…

Nearly naked Bill Clinton pictured soaking in hot tub with unidentified woman in Epstein files: ‘His reckoning’

By Josh Christenson and Steven Nelson, NY Post, Dec. 19, 2025

WASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton is photographed reclining nearly naked in a hot tub with an unidentified woman at his waist in files kept by late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — drawing strong reactions, including an ex-aide’s pronouncement that “this is his reckoning.”

Clinton, 79, is shown in many other images in the sprawling cache of Epstein files released Friday by the Justice Department — including with his arm wrapped around a young lady on a plane.

The ex-president is seen vacationing with the now-notorious predator in the UK, traveling with him to Brunei and Thailand and attending the 2002 wedding of Moroccan King Mohammed VI.

The extent of the Democrat’s appearance in the files drew shock shortly after the DOJ’s heavily redacted dump of thousands of records in compliance with a congressionally mandated deadline.

In one image, Clinton is shown frolicking in a swimming pool with Epstein’s girlfriend-turned-madam Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking crimes.

“This is his reckoning. I mean, if you turn on CNN, that’s what they are talking about. I’ve gotten a million texts about it,” said one former Clinton aide.

“People are like, ‘I can’t believe he was in a hot tub. Who’s the woman in there?’ She’s at, you know, body level. I mean, it’s, like, unbelievable. It’s just shocking.”

The ex-aide said Clinton’s heavily documented interactions with the pedophile are likely to shape public opinion after a yearlong feeding frenzy of conspiracy theories about powerful men who may have gotten away with misconduct.

“[Clinton] is Prince Andrew… He’s kinda done. He was already done before, but now he’s even more so,” the person said, comparing the two once-powerful men.

“People have to be brought to justice for if they did these things, there’s no question about it.”

The initial document dump on Friday is light on mentions of President Trump, fueling complaints from Democrats that the Justice Department did not comply with the law by releasing all the files.

The sitting president, who had been friends with Epstein until about 2004, emerged relatively unscathed, though a photo does show Epstein and a woman posing with a check that Trump allegedly signed in 1997 for the amount of $22,500.

A different previously released image of that check emerged from a 2003 birthday book for Epstein, with an attached note allegedly written by businessman Joel Pashcow saying: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women! Sells ‘fully depreciated’ [woman’s name] to Donald Trump for $22,500.”

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the woman in question was a “wealthy European then in her 20s, [who] severed all ties with Epstein around 1997 and had no romantic relationship with either Epstein or Trump,” according to her lawyer.

The document dump features Clinton prominently, however, including showing the Democrat touring Winston Churchill’s Second World War war room in London.

Clinton appears charmed to be in Churchill’s old digs, beside 1940s-era maps, records and telephones — and surrounded by wax figures representing the British’s top military personnel and aides at the time.

Epstein, Maxwell, Clinton and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger also were snapped at a dinner.

Jagger and Clinton could be seen cozying up to a woman whose face was blacked out in one image.

In the Southeast Asian nation of Brunei, Clinton and Epstein are photographed posing together in shiny silk shirts.

Other snaps show them taking in the sites of Thailand and traveling to Morocco.

Yet another photo album is labeled, “Clinton Trips-NY,LA,London.”

One picture shows the ex-president about a plane with disgraced pop icon Michael Jackson.

The Justice Department heavily redacted the files, meaning there may be additional embarrassing or potentially incriminating images lurking.

The redactions make it impossible for the public to know the identities of the women or girls photographed with Clinton, who was impeached in 1998 over his affair with a 22-year-old White House intern.

Some of the Justice Department’s redactions are confounding — for example, Epstein’s face is blacked out but not Clinton or Maxwell’s in a group photo published this week of their 2002 Morocco trip.

The Post exclusively reported, citing two sources close to the matter, that Clinton stunned his own staff by demanding that Epstein and Maxwell accompany him to the royal wedding, with the request being related to and granted by Moroccan authorities.

In another perplexing redaction, the DOJ placed a black box to cover Epstein’s apparently nude buttocks on a beach.

Clinton’s office furiously denied wrongdoing and sought to redirect attention to Trump, who was himself associated with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s.

“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,’ a Clinton spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

“This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton.

“There are two types of people here,” the Clinton spokesman said. “The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light. The second group continued relationships with him after. We’re in the first. No amount of stalling by people in the second group will change that. Everyone, especially MAGA, expects answers, not scapegoats.”

Trump resisted the bipartisan law requiring the DOJ to turn over all “unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials” on the case — trying unsuccessfully to cow four House Republicans to take their names off a discharge petition.

The Democrat Party: The Enemy Within?

December 20, 2025/in Commentary, Communism, Culture War, Election Fraud, Elections, Hot Topics, Lawfare, Marxism, Misinformation, News, Policy, Politics, Propaganda, Queers and pedophiles, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Regulation, Social Issues, Socialism, Taxes, Techno-Fascism, Terrorism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Amil Imani

The Democrat party is not simply irrelevant. Rather, it is America’s greatest adversary, driven by globalist priorities and divisive policies — a decaying shell scheming to undermine the nation that Donald Trump revived. From the Rio Grande to the Rust Belt, patriots see the truth: This is a radical mob set on tearing apart our borders, our jobs, and our freedoms. Republicans — especially in Texas, where the battle feels personal — must defeat this threat before it drags the whole country down. This is war — for America, not just Austin.

Once a cornerstone of American political life, the Democrat party has morphed into something unrecognizable — a force that now threatens the fabric of the nation. Historically a party of working-class advocacy and progressive reform, it has abandoned its roots in recent years to embrace a radical, anti-American agenda. This transformation demands scrutiny.

The Democrats once waved the blue-collar flag — FDR, JFK, all that jazz. Now? They’ve betrayed the working man. Newsweek nailed it post-2024: They lost the heartland — Pennsylvania, Michigan, and even Texas saw ranchers and oilmen switch to red. Why? Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) pushed her “Jobs for All” bill in January 2025, promising jobs but delivering billions to green-energy fat cats while rig workers in Odessa barely get by. Trump’s tariffs rebuilt steel towns; Democrats promote solar panels that nobody asked for. America First means jobs, not handouts.

The Democrats’ border policy hits hard, especially in Texas, where illegal crossings overwhelm towns like Del Rio. Since 2021, Biden’s administration has allowed in over 10 million, according to Politico, flooding the streets with drugs and crime. Kamala Harris, the laughable “border czar,” smirked on CNN in 2024, cooing, “We’re a nation of immigrants.” Tell that to the ranchers dodging cartel bullets. Now, in 2025, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is pushing through his “Pathway to Citizenship Act,” a February amnesty bill aimed at securing blue votes nationwide. Trump’s wall helps stop the bleeding; Democrats tear it wide open.

Foreign policy is in disarray under the Democrats. They’ve aligned themselves with the Islamic Republic of Iran since the 2015 nuclear deal; Trump terminated it because it funded terrorism. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) tweeted in 2023, “Sanctions are economic warfare,” advocating for leniency toward Tehran while it attacks Israel. In contrast, Trump’s Abraham Accords advanced peace through strength. In 2025, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt., essentially a Democrat) criticized Trump’s China tariffs in a March speech, calling them “regressive” while Beijing continues dismantling American factories. From Houston to Harrisburg, Democrats betray us to tyrants.

Democrats oppose law and order — end of story. San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin, regarded as a puppet of George Soros, released felons until voters pushed back in 2022. That’s their playbook: defund the police and embrace criminals. ABC News revealed GOP ads in 2024 criticizing blue cities for it — think Chicago, not just Dallas. Now Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) promotes her 2025 “Community Safety Act,” which cuts police budgets for “restorative justice” rhetoric — because feelings can prevent carjackings. Trump’s firm approach succeeds; Democrats encourage chaos.

The Democrats cater to globalists, not to Americans. Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act funneled $369 billion into climate initiatives, according to The Guardian, while Texas drillers and Ohio miners received nothing. In February 2025, House speaker Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) promoted the “Global Climate Partnership,” tying U.S. energy to U.N. authorities. Forget that — we’ve got oil in Midland. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) criticized Trump’s China tariffs in a March op-ed, lamenting that they “hurt consumers,” oblivious to the fact that they preserved jobs from Laredo to Lansing. It’s always elites over workers, every single time.

Democracy? They rig it!

Don’t fall for their “save democracy” tears. The Journal of Democracy reported that 20% of Democrats supported violence in 2021 — less than the GOP’s 30%, but still despicable. They cheered the riots of 2020. Harris tweeted support for bail funds — then cried when Trump defeated them in 2024. Now Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) proposes his Electoral College “reform” bill in 2025, a blatant power-grab aimed at eliminating red states like Texas. Trump won big; they can’t stand it.

The 2024 election proved one thing: Trump flipped Nevada, according to Newsweek, as voters nationwide turned away from Harris’s woke rhetoric. Pew Research reported Democrats at 31% approval in 2023 — lower than a snake’s belly. From Schumer’s amnesty to AOC’s disdain for law enforcement, their actions reflect contempt for America.

Texas feels the strain at the border, but this is a battle for every patriot — our kids, our flag, our future. Trump is draining the swamp again; Republicans must leave these traitors behind. No mercy, no retreat.

The War on Creation Has Reached Middle School

December 17, 2025/in Child Sex, Culture War, Education, Marxism, Misinformation, News, Policy, Politics, Queers and pedophiles, Science, Social Issues, Socialism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Majority Report

This Isn’t About Gender. It’s About God.

Eleven-year-olds are the target audience, and that is no accident.

A middle school in Bethesda, Maryland, chose children barely out of elementary school to begin teaching them that their bodies may be wrong and that the Creator who made them cannot be trusted.

The lesson was delivered to sixth graders at Westland Middle School during what administrators called “Transgender Awareness Week.”

The school insists the goal was awareness and respect. But what students were actually taught runs far deeper than manners or kindness.

Beneath the language of inclusion sits a message that strikes at the heart of creation itself and, by extension, at God.

The Lesson in the Classroom

According to materials obtained and reported by Fox News, sixth graders were shown a 12-page slideshow that instructed them on how to think about gender and identity.

Students were told that gender is “who you feel you are,” not something grounded in biology. They were taught to distinguish between sex and gender. They were introduced to the concept of nonbinary identity and given tips for identifying as nonbinary.

They were asked to discuss how people know whether they are a “girl” or a “boy,” and why the first thing announced about a newborn baby is the baby’s gender.

Videos were played during the presentation, including one from a nonbinary online creator who explained how to “bind” breasts. Binding refers to wrapping and flattening the chest to appear less feminine, a practice that carries real physical risks and is deeply controversial even among medical professionals.

This material was presented to children who are just entering puberty.

The Official Defense

School officials responded with the familiar script.

The lesson, they said, was about awareness, respect, and teaching students to support peers from different backgrounds and lived experiences. Middle school, they explained, is a time when questions come up, and schools must reinforce that bullying and harassment are unacceptable.

No parent disputes the need to teach kindness.

But kindness does not require instructing children to doubt their own bodies.

Respect does not require ideological coaching.

And preventing bullying does not require teaching eleven-year-olds that biological reality is optional.

The Hidden Message

This is where the real story begins.

These lessons are not neutral. They are not value-free. They carry a worldview, and that worldview has unavoidable theological implications.

Children are being told that the body can be wrong.

That creation can misfire.

That identity comes from feelings, not from design.

If God exists, this teaching implies He either makes mistakes or intentionally traps children in the wrong bodies. And if that is true, then God is not trustworthy. Or worse, He is cruel.

The alternative message is even starker. If there is no Creator at all, then there is no order, no purpose, no meaning beyond self-definition.

Either way, the conclusion is the same. Creation cannot be trusted. Authority does not come from above. Truth comes from within.

That is not education. That is theology.

Why Children Are the Target

Most adults can see through ideological language. Children cannot.

Eleven- and twelve-year-olds are still forming their understanding of reality. They are impressionable. They are vulnerable. They are searching for answers about who they are and where they fit.

When schools introduce radical identity concepts at this age, they are not merely offering information. They are shaping how children interpret their own confusion, discomfort, and everyday developmental struggles.

That concern was voiced plainly by Defending Education, which monitors ideological activism in schools.

Its communications director, Erika Sanzi, described the lesson as cult-like and warned that while some children will shrug it off, others may be pushed onto a path from which they may never fully return.

That warning should not be dismissed. Identity confusion introduced during childhood can echo for decades.

This Is Bigger Than One School

What happened in Bethesda is not an isolated mistake. It is part of a national pattern.

School districts increasingly frame radical gender ideology as compassion, while quietly introducing concepts that undermine family beliefs, religious convictions, and even basic biology.

Parents are told not to worry. God is never mentioned. Faith is never discussed.

But the message is unmistakable.

Your body is suspect. Creation is negotiable. Meaning is self-made.

That belief system does not come from science, but from ideology and how you feel.

And it is being taught to children who still need hall passes to use the restroom.

The Question Parents Must Ask

The question is no longer whether these lessons are appropriate.

The question is whether parents will accept a public school system that teaches children, implicitly or explicitly, that creation itself is a mistake, that God is cruel, that the Almighty cannot be trusted.

Because once a child is taught that their body lies, the One who created it is recast as a monster.

And that lesson, once planted, is tough to undo.

Chick-fil-A Doubles Down, Keeps DEI on the Menu

December 15, 2025/in Culture War, Economy, Healthcare, Hot Topics, Queers and pedophiles, Science, Social Issues, Socialism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Family Research Council

It’s one thing to catch a local Chick-fil-A rebelling against Christian values — and quite another for headquarters to defend it. After this month’s revelation that an Orem, Utah location was publicly supporting same-sex marriage in a congratulatory post on Facebook (a post that’s still there), several disappointed customers reached out to corporate, hoping for an apology — or at least clarity — on what they saw as a public departure from the chain’s longtime beliefs. What they got instead was further confirmation that the Cathys’ beloved empire has lost its way.

According to an LGBT magazine in Salt Lake City, people who’ve complained about the post have gotten the following response.

Obviously, we’d expect a company rooted (at least formerly) in biblical values to serve everyone. That’s scriptural. But there’s a difference between selling a chicken sandwich to someone and celebrating their behavior.

Regardless, it’s absolutely baffling in America’s current pushback climate that any company — let alone a self-proclaimed Christian one — would openly admit to “embedding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)” in “everything we do.” Obviously, this isn’t a business caught unaware by a single rogue operator. This is a business with a deep and pervasive problem of activism.

As Megan Basham asked, “what’s going on here??” What indeed.

While skeptics are tempted to pin all of this on the Orem managers, that argument falls apart under the weight of the company’s other policies. If the local operators can’t declare, “I want to be open on Sundays,” how can they say, “I’ll message on something antithetical to Chick-fil-A’s beliefs”? Either the mission statement exists — “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us” — or it doesn’t.

Either way, the entire controversy is astounding. On what planet would consumers expect Chick-fil-A to be to the left of places like AT&T, Toyota, McDonald’s, Walmart, Amazon, and dozens more? It boggles the mind, the Political Forum’s Steve Soukup agreed. But, he was quick to point out, “It’s important to remember that Chick-fil-A is a privately held company. Consumer pressure can do a great deal to change corporate misbehavior, but often, shareholder pressure is even more potent, and I think this is one such case,” he observed.

“For years, social conservatives were buoyed in the culture wars by the ability of companies like Hobby Lobby to resist left-wing political trends and fads because of their private ownership. Chick-fil-A’s insensitivity to the current of cultural rebalancing represents the mirror image of that resistance,” Soukup lamented. “Robby Starbuck was wise to target left-leaning corporations with right-leaning customer bases because that gave his efforts immediate impact. Nevertheless, in Robby’s undertakings, the threat of shareholder frustration always implicitly backed up the threat of unhappy customers. That’s not the case with Chick-fil-A,” he said, “which appears to have decided, at least for the time being, to remain on the wrong side of the cultural-counter-revolution.”

Of course, in this instance, some would argue that Christians are the shareholders, and a company that’s held itself out to represent them is beholden to that same community. It’s why believers have been so disappointed by the moral failings that have plagued the brand since 2019. It’s also why they have the power to demand, with the same grassroots enthusiasm that forced the hands of Target and Anheuser-Busch, faithfulness to the standard Chick-fil-A has set for itself.

In the meantime, there’s plenty of puzzling about why the shift happened at all. Maybe, the Free Enterprise’s Stefan Padfield speculated to The Washington Stand, Truett’s grandson Andrew (now CEO) and his team “are true believers, in the sense that they wholeheartedly agree with things like discrimination in the name of anti-discrimination and men becoming women simply by saying so.” Or, he suggested, “the relevant decision-makers might be radical activists themselves or under the spell of some. … These types don’t really care if they destroy the business so long as they can pat themselves on the back for being ‘on the right side of history.’”

They could also be living under a rock, Padfield supposed, not realizing how “toxic DEI has become.” Or “they could be misguided opportunists who think marketing themselves as pro-DEI will somehow lead to greater returns. Regardless,” he said, “Chick-fil-A is free to embrace DEI — and we are free to eat elsewhere.”

Family Research Council’s David Closson is equally stunned by the chain’s departure from the Cathys’ legacy, but he had plenty to say about what the executive team is getting wrong. “When Chick-fil-A says it ‘embraces everyone,’ that’s faithful to Scripture,” he notes. “But to embrace contested identities — such as transgender identities or identities rooted in same-sex behavior — as morally legitimate expressions is something altogether different. A company grounded in Christian conviction should be able to love and serve every person without endorsing categories that contradict biblical truth,” Closson insists.

That’s why the statement about “‘embracing all people regardless of … sexual orientation or gender identity’ and its commitment to embedding DEI into ‘everything we do’ raises legitimate concern,” he stressed. “Diversity, equity, and inclusion frameworks in corporate America are not neutral. They typically operate from a moral vision that conflicts with the Christian understanding of creation, sin, identity, and human purpose,” Closson continued. “DEI, as commonly practiced, does not merely require treating all people kindly. It demands the affirmation of identity categories and behaviors Scripture calls believers to lovingly but firmly reject.”

As he underscored, “Christians can and should affirm kindness, hospitality, and equal treatment for all customers and employees. But love for neighbor never requires affirming what God calls sinful or endorsing identities that obscure rather than reflect His created design. A mission committed to glorifying God must be anchored in truth as well as compassion,” Closson urged. “When corporate statements blur that distinction, they drift from a biblical foundation toward a secular ethic that cannot sustain the Christian identity Chick-fil-A has sought to cultivate over the years.”

This is a company, he pointed out, that “sought to distinguish itself from other national brands by appealing to its founder’s Christian convictions. Unfortunately,” Closson added, “recent developments suggest that this commitment increasingly functions as marketing rather than sincere conviction.”

As a former manager of a North Carolina Chick-fil-A told TWS, “Many think that they hold to great values. I beg to differ. They uphold great standards of customer service — but that does not equate to values.”

That doesn’t mean the company can’t change. Look at the transformation we’ve seen from U.S. businesses that no one dreamed would shift to neutrality. Instead of clinging to obsolete DEI when the rest of corporate America has walked away, how about leaning into the faith-based identity that most loyalists already take for granted? Stop trafficking in this false idea of Christianity that offends. Move the vice president of diversity, equity, and inclusion to a charitable project, ask for moral compliance from every operator representing the brand, and most of all, stop being afraid of who you are and the convictions you were built to represent.

That, not wokeism, is how you honor Truett’s legacy. That, not compromise, is how you live out Chick-fil-A’s purpose.

New Report Further Exposes Netflix’s LGBT Agenda Targeting Children

December 12, 2025/in Child Sex, Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Healthcare, Hot Topics, Marxism, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Queers and pedophiles, Social Issues, Socialism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Family Research Council

For some time now, Netflix has come under fire for pushing LGBT-related content on both adults and children. The latter category, in particular, has drawn sharp criticism from parents and child advocates who do not want ideological content being forced upon the young and vulnerable. Now, however, it’s not just talk. A new report from Concerned Women for America (CWA) showcases hard numbers that expose just how deep the entertainment company’s agenda runs.

To collect the data, the report noted how “researchers compiled references to LGBTQ+ themes, characters, storylines, and messaging across 326 Netflix series (both licensed and original) rated for young audiences (TV-G, TV-Y, or TV-Y7).” Concerning representation, it “was categorized as ‘Explicit’ (characters clearly identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or nonbinary), ‘Implied’ (non-primary characters or ‘queer-coded’ characters), ‘Meta’ (gay families or participants in reality programming), or ‘None.’”

The key findings include:

41% of TV-G series and 41% of TV-Y7 series contain LGBTQ+ content.
Of the TV-Y7 content, 24% was rated “Explicit.”
Across all three child-appropriate ratings (TV-G, TV-Y, TV-Y7), fully one-third (33%) promote LGBT characters, themes, or messaging.

Netflix pushed LGBT agendas through originals and remakes. Some examples include:

“The Magic School Bus” reboot, which introduced a “trans-coded” character and a lesbian couple.
A reimagined “Strawberry Shortcake” series that added transgender and non-binary characters.
Similar changes in updated versions of “Power Rangers,” “The Fairly OddParents,” and other franchises.
The “Anne of Green Gables” adaptation, retitled “Anne with an E,” which incorporated homosexual themes.

CWA asked a pivotal question: “Which came first: LGBTQ+ content aimed at kids, or ‘inclusive’ content that caters to kids who identify as LGBTQ+?” The report noted that studios frequently justify the material as “educational” or “affirming,” yet “we have seen enough leaked videos and internal memos to know that there is, for many working in entertainment, a desire to reshape the culture to align with their own worldview.”

Numerous creators have confirmed that intent publicly. One prominent example is the executive producer of Disney Television Animation who openly celebrated inserting a same-sex couple into “My Little Pony,” praising the showrunners who were “super welcoming … to my not-at-all-secret gay agenda.”

Despite the claim that art mirrors society, CWA fired back that, “taken together, these accounts show that content creators view children’s programming as a tool for cultural transformation, not merely a reflection of existing norms.” Or put differently, the group added, “This report’s findings suggest that Netflix is not merely reflecting social change, it is an active driver.”

The data show LGBT representation in Netflix children’s programming “far outpaces real-world demographics and accelerated dramatically after 2021.” That year, Netflix partnered with the University of Southern California Annenberg Inclusion Initiative to tout its high percentage of LGBTQ leads, while internal data revealed that upwards of 60% of new child-rated shows contained LGBT elements. By 2023, Netflix debuted more children’s shows with LGBTQ+ content (14) than without (9). As the report read, “If the goal is ‘representation,’ rather than pushing a radical sexual identity agenda, then surely the percent of LGBTQ characters on Netflix programming should be more in line with actual population data? Less than 10% of the overall population identifies as gay, trans or nonbinary.”

CWA’s report concluded:

“While no single factor explains the surge in LGBTQ identification among adolescents, media exposure is a well-documented variable in shaping norms, identity exploration, and worldview formation. When representation for a small demographic reaches near-ubiquity in children’s content, it naturally raises questions about whether entertainment platforms are shaping identity rather than reflecting it. A pattern strikingly similar to what Alexander Pope described long ago: ‘Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, as to be hated needs but to be seen; yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, we first endure, then pity, then embrace.’”

This report comes alongside a fierce cultural reckoning. For those who oppose the forceful LGBT agenda, speaking out became a non-negotiable. Even Elon Musk, tech billionaire and CEO of X, spoke out on the issue on his X platform. Shortly after, Netflix lost an estimated $15 billion in stock value, “and Internet sleuths set to work exposing other examples of LGBTQ+ content on Netflix children’s programming.”

To offer his own analysis, Family Research Council’s Dr. David Closson shared a comment with The Washington Stand. “For years,” he said, “major entertainment companies have insisted that their role is simply to ‘reflect the culture,’ yet the evidence shows that many creatives inside these studios see themselves as cultural architects. They are intentionally embedding moral messages into children’s programming that align with their own worldview.”

He highlighted the double standard, stating “When companies like Netflix aggressively advance LGBT ideology but then criticize Christians for expressing their faith in the public square, it exposes that the issue is not neutrality; it is competing worldviews.”

While Closson encouraged Christians as a whole to be diligent, discerning, and even willing to use the First Amendment to promote their own biblical worldview, his main advice was for parents:

Exercise vigilance and biblical conviction, recognizing that “media consumption is not a neutral activity” and that platforms contradicting Scripture on sexuality and identity should be approached with extreme caution or avoided.

Actively shape their home’s spiritual environment through clear boundaries, content previewing, filtering tools, and, when necessary, alternative platforms.

Embrace their primary discipleship role, teaching children God’s design for the body, sexuality, and identity “in age-appropriate, truth-filled ways” long before culture does it for them.

As Closson concluded, “When media companies work to normalize ideas that contradict God’s word, Christian parents are not helpless. They can respond with discernment, courage, and a commitment to raising children who understand that their identity is not determined by cultural trends but by the God who created them.”

California High School Hosted Adult Livestream With Drag Queens, Foot-Licking And A Mock Crucifixion

December 9, 2025/in Education, Misinformation, News, Policy, Politics, Queers and pedophiles, Social Issues, Social Media, Socialism, Techno-Fascism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Daily Caller

A top San Diego high school rented out its gymnasium to a production company that filmed a 24-hour livestream presented by an adult content site called Fansly.

Fansly, described as a subscription-based platform where creators share exclusive content with fans, is a competitor to OnlyFans and allows creators to post content that is described as being “from mild to spicy.” The 24-hour video, uploaded on Friday to Twitch by internet personality Paymoney Wubby, was labeled “24 HOUR TAG PRESENTED BY Fansly,” showing four men playing a tag-style game while participating in game show activities, eating segments and other small tasks.

Reports about the video first broke Sunday evening from Restore San Diego Chairwoman Amy Reichert, who confirmed the filming location was Canyon Crest Academy’s (CCA) gym.

CCA, ranked as the number one high school in San Diego, confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation that the CCA Foundation (CCAF) approved a production company’s use of its gym Friday for filming. In a statement provided to the DCNF, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) said it learned about the incident on Sunday and understands that the production company filmed “a game show with highly inappropriate content.”

“We understand that the production company filmed a game show with highly inappropriate content that appears to have violated the terms of the agreement between CCAF and the production company, as well as the District’s community standards and policies,” the SDUHSD stated.

“While school sites are intended to be a civic center available for public use, such use is not without limits, and our top priority is always the safety and support of our students,” the SDUHSD added. “The District will consult with legal counsel and consider pursuing legal action against the parties involved to hold them accountable for the egregious conduct on our school campus.”

During the livestream, the men were seen doing mundane tasks such as eating, solving puzzles and playing cards before a person dressed in a full-body latex suit would pop out of the stage center and tag one or more of the contestants. Whoever was tagged would then have to participate in an activity as their “punishment.”

One of the activities, seen about five hours into the livestream, was what the men described as a “sex swing,” in which one of the tagged participants was hoisted horizontally into the swing and lifted over a bed that appeared to be covered in white powder. With a cover placed over his mouth and a soft helmet on his head, the latex-clad tagger stood beside him as a woman in tight shorts and fishnets was behind him holding the rope that dropped him onto the mattress.

Another game show activity the men participated in was labeled “Blow,” in which two contestants put pantyhose over their heads and stretched forward to see if they could blow out a candle placed in front of them.

Throughout the livestream, women could be seen coming out wearing short skirts, high heels and fishnet stockings, with their buttocks and cleavage visible numerous times. At one point during the game, the four contestants were “awarded” sashes with titles given to them after answering a series of questions, which included “botched penis,” “privately racist,” “whomegalul” and “pedophile.”

While SDUHSD did not clarify whether the recording took place during school hours, the contestants could be heard saying around nine and a half hours in that they thought someone involved in the production, or a student, was outside the gym doors.

“There’s more people knocking at the doors,” one of the men stated.

“I think they’re children,” another could be heard adding.

Shortly after, another activity began in which one of the men was seen licking chocolate off the feet of two women wearing Fansly shirts.

Across more than 20 hours of content, the men were seen participating in other activities such as a mock crucifixion labeled as “crucifixion of clout,” waxing their legs, a drag queen segment and playing “mini bowl,” in which one man wore a bowling pin jockstrap.

A picture posted on Wubby’s X account showed the production team, including the women, using the weight room as a backroom for staging, with the CCA logo visible on one of the chairs. The woman tagged in the picture, who was one of the girls who had her feet licked, has a bio that reads, “Striving to be both the classiest AND sluttiest version of myself at all times,” with full nude top photos on her account.

Despite SDUHSD’s allegation that the content violated the terms of its agreement with CCAF, a lawyer for Wubby told the DCNF that, due to the nature of the content, the production company was upfront about disclosing that Fansly would be involved in the project.

Attorney Jason Brower said the disclosure was reviewed during the contracting phase, arguing that, based on that understanding, there is no breach of contract. Brower also said CCA Principal Brett Killeen allegedly sent out a public statement about the breach of contract on Sunday, which the attorney will now review as potentially defamatory.

While an exact compensation amount was not provided to the DCNF, Brower confirmed that the production company paid CCAF for the use of the gym.

In September 2024, CCAF came under fire after two then-CCA students, Kevin Wang and Litong Tian, published a report accusing the foundation of charging student clubs 25% for donations, compared to similar foundations at other schools that charged between 5% and 10%. The foundation was later audited and found to have inaccurate financial reporting, missing records and other issues.

“California public schools are so desperate for money they kicked students out of their own high school gym to rent it to adult content influencers. This is disgraceful. Everyone involved should be held accountable,” Reichert told the DCNF.

According to SDUHSD rules and regulations for rental agreements, any request to use school facilities or grounds by an organization or group must be submitted in writing to the school principal or a designee and signed by the president or secretary of the organization. Per the rental agreement, violations include using profane language, quarreling, fighting or gambling, along with the use of tobacco, intoxicants or narcotics.

In attempts to contact CCA’s principal about the issue, the DCNF was directed to speak with SDUHSD. The video uploaded to Twitch has racked up over 870,000 views.

DEMOCRAT: The Party of the Terrorists, by the Terrorists and for the Terrorists

Swier, LTC U.S. Army (Ret.)

“Washington is broken. My whole campaign has been premised from the start on the idea that we have to fundamentally change how Washington works.” — Barrak Hussein Obama.

“I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.” — Barrak Hussein Obama.

“We are trained Marxists.” – Patrisse Cullors, Black Lives Matter Co-founder

“The organization Black Lives Matter (BLM) is not about black lives. BLM is a Marxist organization disguised as a civil rights organization. Instead of improving race relations, BLM exploits racial tensions to collapse America from within and replace our constitutional republic with socialism/communism. BLM is the ultimate humanitarian hoax being perpetrated on unsuspecting Americans who still believe that BLM cares about black lives. They don’t.” — Linda Goudsmit

We are witnessing a fundamental transformation of the Democrat Party since the election of Barrak Hussein Obama, who promised that, if elected, he would “fundamentally transform America.”

His promise has come true. He has via the Democrat Party fundamentally transformed America into a violent, hate filled, terrorist state.

It now has become the party of the violent terrorists of various stripes.

The Red Green Rainbow Alliance

My greatest and most profound mistake is not seeing the existential danger of the “Red-Green-Rainbow Alliance” to the national security of the United States of America.

I was stationed in Germany, with my wife and soon to be born son, from 1971 till 1974. While there I, my family and my unit were exposed to two terrorist organizations. I at that time did not connect the dots between these two organizations and their clear and present danger to me, my family and our nation.

The Baader–Meinhof Gang

The first terrorist organization was the Baader–Meinhof Group or Baader–Meinhof Gang also know as the Red Army Faction (RAF). This group was made up of hardcore Communists. They attacked U.S. assets, conducted assassinations, kidnappings, bombed a club frequented by American soldiers and robbed banks to fund their Marxist movement.

Because of the Baader–Meinhof Gang’s stated tactic to abduct the children of American military members stationed in Germany the housing complex, that I, my wife and our newly born son Rich, Jr., lived in had barbed wire surrounding it and armed guards patrolling the grounds 24-7.

The Red Army Faction was a very real and direct threat to me and my wife and our son. Today, the Communist ideology has become an existential threat to the American way of life.

Black September 1972

The second group was known as “Black September.” Black September (Arabic: أيلول الأسود; Aylūl Al-Aswad), was named after the conflict between the Hashemite Kingdom of King of Jordan and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

On September 4th, 1972 Black September attacked the Olympic Village in Munich, Germany. This Islamic terrorist attack was to become known as the “Munich massacre.” The attack was carried out by eight members of the Palestinian militant organization Black September, who infiltrated the Olympic Village, killed two members of the Israeli Olympic team, and took nine others hostage. Later, in a failed rescue attempt by the German police, the nine Israeli athletes and one German police officer were murdered. Total murdered: 11 Israelis and 1 German.

After the Munich massacre my unit, the 1st Infantry Division, was called out to provide additional security at the Olympic Village.

What I did not know at that time was that both the Baader–Meinhof Gang (Red Brigade) and Black September were trained by the Palestine Liberation Organization in camps in Jordan.

This was the Red-Green Alliance that has now infiltrated the United States and is causing irreputable harm to our nation and its people. This alliance has grown in strength and power. There are even members of Congress who are followers of Marx and Mohammed.

The Red-Green Alliance is today a much greater threat to me, my family and a “clear and present danger” to our country.

WATCH: Somali Muslim: ‘My biggest regret in life is that Trump will not be alive to witness our full takeover of America’

What am I doing differently?

I now spend time speaking, writing and teaching others about the Red-Green Alliance, which has added a third new ultra-radical faction the LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexuals + Allies) movement.

We now have an even more dangerous and deadly “Red-Green-Rainbow Alliance” bent on the destruction of our families, lives, lifestyles and livelihoods.

Each is working, in concert, to destroy our cultural norms, fundamentally transform our society, destroy the traditional family and marriage between one man and one woman, undermine our Judeo-Christian religious foundation and infiltrate all of our government agencies including the Department of Defense.

Each wants more and more power, absolute power over me, my family, my son, his wife and our grandchildren.

The Bottom Line

WATCH: Barack Hussein Obama attempted to overthrow the Constitutional Republic of the United States in 2016

The current cancel culture/cultural war against America is Red, Green, Black, and Rainbow.

These minority groups have taken control of the Democrat Party and have lead to the election of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.

You see the danger to America is not Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Biden presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgement to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Biden, who is a mere symptom of what ails America.

Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Biden, who is, after all, merely a fool. The Republic is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president!

Sharia law makes Islam much more than a religion. Its broad doctrine and application to non-Muslims make Islam a political entity, a government with goals of global dominion.

Sunni Islam and Shia Islam both believe in a global ruler called caliph who will some day govern the world using Sharia law.

This report provides:

Definition of Sharia law and relationship to Muslim faith.
Countries governed by Sharia.
Provisions of Sharia that conflict with American laws.
Sharia violence espoused in American mosques.
Sharia in America.
What should our government’s response be to Sharia?

Definition of Sharia law and relationship to Muslim faith.

Muslim is defined as “a worshipper of Islam.” Islam is a religion articulated by the Qur‘an. Sharia is the Islamic law which governs every aspect of a Muslims life. The instruction in the Quran and the examples set by the Islamic prophet Muhammad are the two main sources of inspiration for Islamic Sharia law.

According to the Encyclopedia of Islam “Within Muslim discourse, sharia designates the rules and regulations governing the lives of Muslims, derived in principle from the Kuran and hadith. In this sense, the word is closely associated with fiḳh [q.v.], which signifies academic discussion of divine law.”

Sharia governs secular law, including crime, politics and economics as well as prescribing religious conduct and ritual. Sharia is the equivalent of federal and state statues combined with religious doctrine. In countries where Sharia is the political code it rules over the lives of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Islamic judges interpret Sharia in countries and territories where it has official government status. Several countries are governed entirely by Islamic Sharia law. These countries will be described in the next section. \

The multi-governing aspects of Sharia mean that Islam is much more than a religion. Islam is also a political entity with governmental code set by Sharia. Its broad doctrine and application to non-Muslims make Islam a political entity, a government with goals of global dominion.

The first system of government established in Islam and represented the leader’s unity of the Muslim Ummah community was called Caliphate. Caliphate is the worldwide dominion by an Islamic sort of emperor called Caliph who is charged with enforcing Sharia law on all earthly inhabitants. Sunni Islam and Shia Islam both believe in a global ruler called caliph who will some day govern the world using Sharia law.

Sharia is the governing law or primary legislative doctrine in many countries including: Aceh, Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Chechnya, Egypt, Gambia, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Mauritania, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, West Java and Yemen.

LONDON Dailymail.co.uk July 28, 2011 “Islamic extremists have launched a poster campaign across the UK proclaiming areas where Sharia law enforcement zones have been set up.”

Communities have been bombarded with the posters, which read: ‘You are entering a Sharia-controlled zone – Islamic rules enforced.’ The bright yellow messages daubed on bus stops and street lamps have already been seen across certain boroughs in London and order that in the ‘zone’ there should be ‘no gambling’, ‘no music or concerts’, ‘no porn or prostitution’, ‘no drugs or smoking’ and ‘no alcohol’.

Hate preacher Anjem Choudary has claimed responsibility for the scheme, saying he plans to flood specific Muslim and non-Muslim communities around the UK and ‘put the seeds down for an Islamic Emirate in the long term’. In the past week, dozens of streets in the London boroughs of Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets and Newham have been targeted, raising fears that local residents may be intimidated or threatened for flouting ‘Islamic rules’.

Choudary, who runs the banned militant group Islam4UK, warned: ‘We now have hundreds if not thousands of people up and down the country willing to go out and patrol the streets for us and a print run of between 10,000 and 50,000 stickers ready for distribution.’

EGYPT This picture, taken at a late 2011 protest in Egypt, has been making the rounds on various Arabic websites. Note the rope around the women, herding them like camels; note the man to the right holding the leash, walking them. This is a common “precautionary measure” to keep women from mixing with men during protests.

Egypt converted their public policy for all citizens to Sharia after the United States helped the Muslim Brotherhood organization called the Arab Spring to seize control of the country with the election of Mohammed Mursi.

Egyptian cleric Sheik Muhammad Sallah made the case for Sharia law. Appearing on Al-Hekma TV in Egypt on May 4, he said that if Egypt would simply force its citizens to live by the “Shari’a of Allah,“ it would become the ”mightiest nation in the world” and even more wealthy than Sweden.

PARIS – Friday in Paris. A hidden camera shows streets blocked by huge crowds of Muslim worshippers and enforced by a private security force.

This is all illegal in France: the public worship, the blocked streets, and the private security. But the police have been ordered not to intervene.

It shows that even though some in the French government want to get tough with Muslims and ban the burqa, other parts of the French government continue to give Islam a privileged status.

An ordinary French citizen who has been watching the Islamization of Paris decided that the world needed to see what was happening to his city. He used a hidden camera to start posting videos on YouTube. His life has been threatened and so he uses the alias of “Maxime Lepante. ”

Muslim group targets Belgium for Islamic Sharia control. Abu Imran leader of the Islamic group Sharia4Belgium says “We need to be clear there is no difference between Islam and Sharia. Democracy is the opposite of Islam. We believe that Allah makes the laws. We believe that Sharia will be implemented world wide. And a Muslim who says he does not believe in Sharia he is not a Muslim.” Muslims account for twenty five percent of the population of Belgium’s capital Brussels and their population is projected to exceed fifty percent by 2030.

RUSSIA Chechnya broke away from Russia in 1991 and continues to fight for independence. Chechnya battles against Russian federal control with Sharia law as its most likely replacement. Moscow has the largest Muslim population in Europe, with four mosques in the Russian capital city serving some two million people. Russia is Iran’s strongest ally.

Provisions of Sharia that conflict with American laws.

Sharia law advocates many practices that conflict with the rights afforded under the United States Constitution and/or violate state and federal law including:

Perjury, Muslims are permitted and prompted to lie (taqiyya) to non-Muslims. See Note 1.
Discrimination, Muslims are permitted and compelled to discriminate against non-Muslims. See Note 2.
Abolition of adoption rights otherwise granted under American laws. Islam prohibits adopting children. See Note 3.
Abolition of Wills, Inheritance Instruments and Last Testaments established under American laws. See Note 4.
Abolition of certain interest income otherwise specified in loan, mortgage and other borrowing documents. See Note 5.
Diminished rights of women in court. It takes the testimony of two women to equal one man in Sharia court. See Note 6.
Polygamy, Muslim men may marry up to four wives. Muhammad married thirteen women in violation of the Qur’an which he inspired his prophets to write. See Note 7.
Pedophilia, Muslim men can marry girls as young as 14. However, Muhammad took a wife named Ayesha that was six years old. See Note 8.
Muslim husbands are given the right to beat their wives as a form of discipline. See Note 9.
Killing, torture, imprisonment and/or execution of blasphemers, infidels, Islamist apostates and non-believers. See Note 10.
Vicious jihad against non-Muslims to establish Islam’s rule worldwide. Muslims who cannot take on physical jihad must support it with their money. See Note 11.

Sharia violence espoused in American mosques.

Study finds that Sharia minded Imams recommended studying violence-positive texts in 84.5% of United States mosques.

The study was conducted by Dr. Mordechai Kedar and David Yerushalmi, Esq. who are highly regarded experts on Sharia. David Yerushalmi, Esq. who runs the American Freedom Law Center with Robert J. Muise, Esq. is called The Man Behind the Anti-Shariah Movement … by the New York Times. Dr. Mordechai Kedar of Bar-Ilan University is an academic expert on the Israeli Arab population.

Survey abstract: A random survey of 100 representative mosques in the U.S. was conducted to measure the correlation between Sharia adherence and dogma calling for violence against non-believers. Of the 100 mosques surveyed, 51% had texts on site rated as severely advocating violence; 30% had texts rated as moderately advocating violence; and 19% had no violent texts at all. Mosques that presented as Sharia adherent were more likely to feature violence-positive texts on site than were their non-Sharia-adherent counterparts. In 84.5% of the mosques, the imam recommended studying violence-positive texts. The leadership at Sharia-adherent mosques was more likely to recommend that a worshipper study violence-positive texts than leadership at non-Sharia-adherent mosques. Fifty-eight percent of the mosques invited guest imams known to promote violent jihad. The leadership of mosques that featured violence-positive literature was more likely to invite guest imams who were known to promote violent jihad than was the leadership of mosques that did not feature violence-positive literature on mosque premises.

Sharia in America.

If anyone doubts that Muslims have a strong interest in and plans for Islamizing America with Sharia all they have to do is consider the efforts of Islamic organizations in the United States.

Several Muslim Brotherhood front organizations including the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Islamic Circle of North America (ISNA) are vigorously fighting bills in congress and twenty state legislatures that would prohibit courts from considering provisions of foreign laws including Sharia if they are inconsistent with the United States and state constitutions.

CAIR, whose former name was “The Islamic Association of Palestine” issued this March 1, 2012 PRNewswire-USNewswire report: “The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today released a community toolkit designed to assist those seeking to preserve America’s ideal of religious pluralism in the face of unconstitutional “anti-Sharia” bills that have been introduced in more than 20 states nationwide.”

The Islamic Circle of North America waged a billboard campaign in Kansas aimed at opposing legislation that would prohibit Kansas courts from considering Sharia law. Thankfully the Kansas Legislature approved the bill which was signed into law by Governor Sam Brownback. The Islamic Circle of North America web site has not updated their map below to report that Kansas passed the legislation.

The Islamic Circle of North America reports legislation to prohibit state courts from considering foreign laws including Islamic Sharia:

Failed in 14 states: Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, South Carolina, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.
Passed in 4 states: Arizona, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
Stalled in 5 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, New Jersey.

The best way to make sure that domestic law enforcement agencies do not detect the multitude of deviations from American law influenced by Sharia is to pressure law enforcement to stop looking at Muslims.

Islamists succeeded in influencing the Obama administration’s FBI to scrub 1,000 counter terrorism presentations and curricula on Islam.

FBI Director Mueller secretly met on February 8, 2012 at FBI headquarters with a coalition of groups including various Islamist and militant Arabic groups who in the past have defended Hamas and Hizballah and have also issued blatantly anti-Semitic statements.

At this meeting, the FBI revealed that it had removed more than 1000 presentations and curricula on Islam from FBI offices around the country that was deemed “offensive.” The FBI did not reveal what criteria was used to determine why material was considered “offensive” but knowledgeable law enforcement sources have told the IPT that it was these radical groups who made that determination. Moreover, numerous FBI agents have confirmed that from now on, FBI headquarters has banned all FBI offices from inviting any counter-terrorist specialists who are considered “anti-Islam” by Muslim Brotherhood front groups.

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and fights government corruption, has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:12-cv-01183)) against the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seeking access to records detailing a February 2012 meeting between FBI Director Robert Mueller and Muslim organizations. Judicial Watch is also investigating the FBI’s subsequent controversial decision to purge the agency’s training curricula of material deemed “offensive” to Muslims.

The New York Times empowered the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) demand that the New York Police Department (NYPD) stop counter terrorist surveillance involving mosques and the Muslim Students’ Association.

The Muslim Students’ Association is “the mother ship of all the Muslim Brotherhood front groups” according to Jihadwatch.org.

Here is the Muslim Students’ Association pledge. “Allah is my lord. Islam is my life. The Koran is my guide. The Sunna is my practice. Jihad is my spirit. Righteousness is my character. Paradise is my goal. I enjoin what is right. I forbid what is wrong. I will fight against oppression. And I will die to establish Islam.”

USA Today reports New York Police Department “spokesman Paul Browne provided a list of 12 people arrested or convicted on terrorism charges in the United States and abroad who had once been members of Muslim student associations, which the NYPD referred to as MSAs.”

Islamists (CAIR) demand that anti-terrorist expert be barred from training law enforcement officers. The Council on American Islamic Relations wrote a letter calling on the Florida Department on Law Enforcement and other officials to stop allowing counter terrorist expert Sam Kharoba from training their officers.

Judicial board rebukes Pennsylvania Judge Mark Martin for ruling that it was ok for a Muslim immigrant to physically attack and choke an American citizen because the Muslim was unaware that Sharia law did not apply in Pennsylvania. Judge Martin’s flawed ruling underscores the legal calamity that public officials are inflicting on the rights afforded citizens under the United States Constitution by recognizing Sharia law.

Breitbart.com reports “Obama Administration Paves the Way for Sharia Law.” There is strong and open evidence of the Obama administration collaborating with Islamist activists to ensure the path toward sharia law is accelerated. In October 2011, at George Washington University, there was a meeting between DOJ officials and Islamist advocates against free speech who lobbied for: Cutbacks in U.S. anti-terror training; Limits on the power of terrorism investigators; Changes in agent training manuals; and a legal declaration that criticism of Islam in the United States should be considered racial discrimination.

What should our government’s response be to Sharia?

Elected officials across America are sworn in to office by vowing “I, do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States and of the State.” Most citizens would interpret that oath to mean that their elected officials in government should oppose the avocation of ideas that are antithetical to the constitution and the liberties it guarantees.

Many of the provisions of Sharia law are in conflict with the rights afforded under the United States Constitution. Some of the practices advocated by Sharia violate state law.

It is just as much a violation of the oath of office for elected officials to embrace the Communist Manifesto as it is for them to accept provisions of Sharia law that conflict with our constitution. And it would be just a treasonous to allow the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) to change American public policy as it would be to allow the Council on American Islamic Relations, Islamic Society of North America, Muslim Student Association or other Muslim Brotherhood front organizations in American to change this country’s constitutional liberties and rights to comply with Sharia.

The most common way that Sharia is birthed into a society is not by enactment from elected officials but by elected officials ignoring the Islamic laws’ application by practicing Muslims within their jurisdiction. The Tampa Police Department’s ignoring the honor killing of Fatima Abdallah is one example. The Hillsborough County School Board ignoring CAIR’s teaching students in Tampa about Sharia law is another example. As the population of Muslims grow within that society and their political influence becomes stronger application of Sharia moves from acceptance by ignorance to adoption by their elected officials.

Florida Family Association is opposing Sharia in America by:

Supporting legislation that prohibits courts from recognizing foreign laws including Islamic Sharia law.
Confronting public officials who violate their oath of office by embracing provisions of Sharia law that are inconsistent with American laws.
Exposing corporations that embrace or facilitate groups like CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) who support Sharia in America.

Sharia law footnotes.

Note 1: Perjury, Muslims are permitted and prompted to lie (taqiyya) to non-Muslims.

Qur’an (16:106) – Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith – but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.
Qur’an (2:225) – Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts; and He is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.
Qur’an (3:28) – Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah. Fictitious infidel friends are okay only if they achieve a greater purpose.

Note 2: Discrimination, Muslims are permitted and compelled to discriminate against non-Muslims.

Qur’an (5:51) – “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Qur’an (3:28) – “Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah:”
Qur’an (9:23) – “O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers”
Qur’an (53:29) – “Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world.”

Note 3: Abolition of adoption rights otherwise granted under American laws. Islam prohibits adopting children.

Qur’an (33:004) – Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body: nor has He made your wives whom ye divorce by Zihar your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons. Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths.
Thereligionofpeace.com reports – So controversial was Muhammad’s desire to marry his adopted son’s wife that he had to justify it with a stern pronouncement from Allah on the very institution of adoption, which has had tragic consequences to this day. Verses 33:4-5 are widely interpreted to imply that Islam is against adoption, meaning that an untold number of children in the Islamic world have been needlessly orphaned – all because Muhammad’s lustful desires for a married woman went beyond even what the other six wives that he possessed at the time and a multitude of slaves could satisfy.

Note 4: Abolition of Wills, Inheritance Instruments and Last Testaments established under American laws.

Qur’an (4:011) – Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children’s (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases (‘s) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah; and Allah is All-knowing, Al-wise.
Qur’an (4:012) And unto you belongeth a half of that which your wives leave, if they have no child; but if they have a child then unto you the fourth of that which they leave, after any legacy they may have bequeathed, or debt (they may have contracted, hath been paid). And unto them belongeth the fourth of that which ye leave if ye have no child, but if ye have a child then the eighth of that which ye leave, after any legacy ye may have bequeathed, or debt (ye may have contracted, hath been paid). And if a man or a woman have a distant heir (having left neither parent nor child), and he (or she) have a brother or a sister (only on the mother’s side) then to each of them twain (the brother and the sister) the sixth, and if they be more than two, then they shall be sharers in the third, after any legacy that may have been bequeathed or debt (contracted) not injuring (the heirs by willing away more than a third of the heritage) hath been paid. A commandment from Allah. Allah is Knower, Indulgent.

Note 5: Abolition of certain interest income otherwise specified in loan, mortgage and other borrowing documents.

Qur’an (2:275) – Those who devour usury will not stand except as stand one whom the Evil one by his touch Hath driven to madness. That is because they say: “Trade is like usury,” but Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge); but those who repeat (The offence) are companions of the Fire: They will abide therein (for ever).
Qur’an (3:130) – O ye who believe! Devour not usury, doubled and multiplied; but fear Allah; that ye may (really) prosper.
Qur’an (4:161) – That they took usury, though they were forbidden; and that they devoured men’s substance wrongfully;- we have prepared for those among them who reject faith a grievous punishment.

Note 6: Diminished rights of women in court. It takes the testimony of two women to equal one man in Sharia court.

Qur’an (2:282) – “And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women”
Qur’an (2:228) – “and the men are a degree above them [women]”

Note 7: Polygamy, Muslim men may marry up to four wives. Muhammad married thirteen women in violation of the Qur’an which he inspired his prophets to write.

Quran (4:3) – “Marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the captives) that your right hands possess.”
NPR.org reported on May 27, 2008 that there are as many as 100,000 Muslims quietly practicing polygamy in the United States. “No one knows how many Muslims in the U.S. live in polygamous families. But according to academics researching the issue, estimates range from 50,000 to 100,000 people.” The number today is likely much higher given the dramatic increase in Muslim immigrants granted asylum in the United States by President Obama.

Note 8: Pedophilia, Muslim men can marry girls as young as 14. However, Muhammad took a wife named Ayesha that was six years old.

Quran (56:017) – Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness),
Quran, Surah 76:19 Allah promises fresh youths to Muslim men. And round about them shall go youths never altering in age; when you see them you will think them to be scattered pearls.
Quran, Surah 76:19 – And round them shall go boys of theirs as if they were hidden pearls.
Muslim Pedophilia in the UK Ignored by Politically-correct Authorities The New American reported on August 29, 2014. “Report author Alexis Jay cited appalling acts of violence between 1997 and 2013 in Rotherham, a town of some 250,000. … The report described rapes by multiple perpetrators, mainly from Britain’s Pakistani community, and how children were trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten, and intimidated. ‘There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone,” Jay said. “Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators.’”

Note 9: Muslim husbands are given the right to beat their wives as a form of discipline.

Qur’an (4:34) – “Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.”
Qur’an (38:44) – “And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it, and do not break your oath…” Allah telling Job to beat his wife (Tafsir).
Qur’an, Surah (8:012) – Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”

Note 10: Killing, torture, imprisonment and/or execution of blasphemers, infidels, Islamist apostates and non-believers.

Qur’an (5:33) – “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides…”
Quran (3:151) – “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority”.
Quran (8:12) – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”

Note 11: Vicious jihad against non-Muslims to establish Islam’s rule worldwide. Muslims who cannot take on physical jihad must support it with their money.

Fatwa 209643 Islamqa.info Mohammad Al Munajjid, Al-Khobar, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia

Praise be to Allah

The fuqaha’ are unanimously agreed that jihad in Allah’s cause (fi sabeel-Allah) using force and weapons is one of the things on which zakaah funds may be spent, as mentioned in Soorat at-Tawbah, where Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“As-Sadaqat (here it means Zakat) are only for the Fuqara (poor), and Al-Masakin (the poor) and those employed to collect (the funds); and for to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allah’s Cause [fi sabeel-Allah] (i.e. for Mujahidoon – those fighting in the holy wars), and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise.” [at-Tawbah 9:60].

But they differed as to whether jihad other than with the sword is included in the general meaning of the words of Allah “and for Allah’s Cause”, based on the difference of opinion as to whether the phrase should be understood according to its broader linguistic meaning or the specific shar‘i understanding of the concept of “Allah’s cause”.

There are three different interpretations, starting with one that is very specific and gradually broadening the meaning:

1. The first view is that the meaning of “Allah’s cause” is so specific that it does not include anything other than jihad by the sword and spear. This is the view of the majority of Hanafi, Maaliki and Shaafa‘i fuqaha’, and of Ibn Qudaamah among the Hanbalis. It is also regarded as more correct by the Council of Senior Scholars in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. See al-Buhooth al-‘Ilmiyyah, 1/73.

Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

This is the view of Maalik, Abu Haneefah, ath-Thawri, ash-Shaafa‘i, Abu Thawr, and Ibn al-Mundhir, and this is more correct, because the phrase “Allah’s cause” in general terms only refers to jihad. Every time “Allah’s cause” is mentioned in the Qur’an, what is meant by it is jihad, except in a few cases. So what is mentioned in this verse should be understood in accordance with that, because that is what the apparent meaning indicates.
