One American statue that honors the financier of a Nazi SS mass-preditor must be destroyed

While traditional America scrambles to restore historical statues that were removed and or attacked by violent mobs at the beginning of this decade, one statue stands intact despite its symbolism of horrid crimes against infants and children by one of America’s top eugenicists, whose criminal legacy is leveraged and elevated to laudatory.

In Indiana, scores of years after his gruesome death by his own deviant actions, Alfred Kinsey is still a legend — glorified on the immense Indiana University campus, where his namesake institute stands in glory to him.

The exact same mobs that attacked statues and buildings honoring America’s Founding Fathers have no objections to or protests against the “king of sex education” who paid to receive “data” from a former Nazi SS officer that preyed upon the fatherless babies and children enslaved, maimed, and murdered in the Holocaust.

Rather than screaming against the monstrous “king of sex education,” Kinsey’s fans at Indiana University have lauded his use of sexual “data” obtained by criminal acts on defenseless, fatherless infants as young as 2 moths old, from which “data” Kinsey porfiteered for years and his institute continues to promote Kinsey “science” for fund-raising.

After decades of supporting and promoting Kinsey’s namesake facility in Bloomington, the state of Indiana finally relinquised funding of the institue that harbors thousands of records of the horrors against poor, minority, and fatherless young victims of sexual esperiments with impunity. Kinsey himself was a merciless pornographer who “starred” his own wife in devient, illegal films he made in their home with his staff present and participating. Nothing was off limits to Kinsey — childhood/babyhood sexualization, homosexuality, beastiality, incest, and home made pornography.

Kinsey Institute researchers had contacts with Jeffrey Epstein long after he was convicted of the sexual abuse of minors. A senior Kinsey researcher for a decade wrote Jeffrey Epstein after meals with him and Woody Allen.

“Thank you, Jeffrey, for another fascinating lunch at your house….and a few sneak peaks at some of your art!” she wrote to Epstein afterward. “Very interesting.”

Training in Deviancy

Alfred Kinsey

Alfred Kinsey

In fact, as long ago as 1948, the world’s future leaders were being taught that sex with children was intelligent adult behavior. Their teacher was that Rockefeller Foundation-funded biology professor at Indiana University, Alfred Kinsey. For 64 years—almost three generations—his Sexual Behavior in the Human Male has trained millions of young college students—like Berendzen, McGinnies, Sandusky, Spanier, and Fine—to believe that all sexual perversion is normal. Both hetero- and homosexual interactions with children are said to help children by replacing “sexually repressed” Judeo-Christian morality with a more “enlightened” sexual worldview. According to one Kinsey disciple, the late Dr. Loretta Haroian, “free sexual expression of children” requires “a sexually supportive society . . . in which every man, woman and child can say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to sex.” Dr. Haroian was a member of the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, which has trained millions of “sexologists” in the Kinsey mode.

The inroads made by the academic pedophile coterie are reflected not just in the reports coming out of Penn State and Syracuse, but also in earlier incidents at American University, Johns Hopkins, and scores of other institutions of higher learning. Academic journals embraced the Kinseyan worldview early on, as illustrated by Ralph Slovenko’s comment in the 1962 Vanderbilt Law Review that “even at the age of four or five, [a girl’s] seductiveness may be so powerful as to overwhelm the adult into committing the offense”; in other words, a little child could be an “initiator and seducer.”

In 2007, the first Chinese-language book on Kinsey (English title: Kinsey, the Man Who Has Changed the World) was published and sold 500,000 copies in China. Co-author Liana Zhou, head of the Kinsey Institute library, says that, thanks to Kinsey’s “pioneering” work, we can now “study human sexuality within the confines of science rather than only through the lens of religion or social morality.” In Italy, researchers claim to have found a possible “pedophile” gene, and the bankrupt Greek government has just amended state-recognized disability categories to include “pedophiles, exhibitionists and kleptomaniacs.” So now the sexual immorality and psychopathologies of Kinsey are being spread in other countries, too.

All this modern sexual insanity may be a “footnote to Alfred Kinsey,” but a few people are trying to set the story straight. When former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was told by a critic that “10 percent of the population is gay,” she replied, “Well, that’s according to the Kinsey Report.” Her husband, Marcus, then added, “It’s been a myth for many years.” Alas, that myth invented by Kinsey, “the Man Who Has Changed the World,” has been normalizing abusive sex education, pornography, child sexual abuse, and sexual trauma all over the world, training millions to be as sexually insane as he was.

Elon Musk Wants You To Cancel Your Netflix Subscription — Here Are 5 Good Reasons Why

Elon Musk wants you to cancel your Netflix subscription.

The tech billionaire urged his 227 million followers to “[c]ancel Netflix for the health of your kids” in an Oct. 1 post on X. Musk has shared numerous posts criticizing transgender themes in children’s television shows available on Netflix.

If you’re on the fence, here are five good reasons to never give another penny to Netflix.

1. An Obama-Produced Gay Wedding

Ada Twist, Scientist follows an “eight-year-old Black scientist” as she “explores people through scientific discovery, collaboration, and friendship” according to Rotten Tomatoes. The cartoon is rated TV-Y, according to Netflix, indicating the content is appropriate for children of all ages.

Ada Twist is produced by former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama’s production company, Higher Ground.

One episode of the show features young students working together to throw a gay wedding.

“Everyone’s favorite karate instructor, Sensei Dave, will be marrying mixed martial arts champion, Jiu Jitsu Joe,” an animated reporter gushes.

After the men tell each other, “I do” and “I definitely do,” the reporter pronounces them “husband and husband.” The men kiss, confetti explodes, the children applaud.

2. Crossdressing Toddler Musical 

“Something that we know about you, you love to get up and dance,” sing two animated men to a young boy in CoComelon Lane. The boy is supposed to be their son.

“How about you break out those moves for you two biggest fans?”

The young boy does just that, putting on a tutu and a tiara, performing for the gay men.

The boy then considers which outfit to wear. One of the men tells the boy, “Just be you.”

“Just be me?” The boy questions.

“Yep.”

The show is rated TV-Y, according to the Netflix catalog.

3. Rocko’s Very Modern Life 

I’ll concede that Rocko’s life is very modern. I won’t concede it’s appropriate for children aged seven or older, as Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling is rated on Netflix.

The Nickelodeon reboot features a “prominent trans character,” according to Gay Times.

Ralph Bighead, a character in the original series, is now Rachel Bighead.

Series creator Joe Murray told Entertainment Weekly that an episode in the original series, in which Bighead tries to hide his identity as a clown in a town of jesterphobes, was intended as a gay allegory.

“We were still playing by the rules, so to speak, and still trying to interject those situations [into the cartoon],” Murray told Entertainment Weekly.

Oh, neat. Children’s television has been corrupted for decades. Producers and writers just feel no need to disguise their intentions anymore.

4. Dead End

Where to start with this one.

Netflix cancelled Dead EndParanormal Park in 2023, according to show creator Hamish Steele. It remains available on their site and is rated TV-Y7.

Protagonist Barney Guttman is a “a gay Jewish teenage trans boy finding love and acceptance while struggling with unaccepting family members,” according to a review in Paste Magazine.

Paste praises the show for its “groundbreaking trans representation.”

“Despite bigots complaining about the show being ‘inappropriate’ for kids, Dead End: Paranormal Park is definitely targeted at a younger audience than its source comics,” Paste writes.

“Targeted” feels like the right word choice here.

“Before making the show, I’d developed quite a few shows, and I love kids’ shows 100 percent, so we try to make it so that there’s nothing in the show that is inappropriate for an 8-year-old. But I think there’s an age group that cartoons just sort of abandoned for a long time, and assumed that when you get to about 12 or 13, you’re just watching adult shows,” show creator Steele told the Hollywood Reporter.

See, silly bigots. The show isn’t “inappropriate.” It’s only sowing confusion in kids on the edge of puberty and leading them down a path of irreversible damage.

5. Fund For Creative Perversion

If you remain unperturbed by Netflix’s catalogue of kid’s shows, consider the following business decision.

Netflix’s Fund for Creative Equity funds the Transgender Film Center, a “nonprofit advancing the work of transgender film creators,” according to Netflix.

“Our mission is to bring more trans-made stories to the world, and we designed the lab to address the root of the opportunity, by helping more transgender creators find career success in TV and film,” said Sav Rodgers, the Transgender Film Center’s executive director, according to Netflix.

The Transgender Film Center’s 2024 “career development lab participants” consists of eight diversely pronoun-ed individuals, including “Sir Lex Kennedy,” whom you may refer to as “he,” “they,” or “sir.”

Kennedy is a “vegan, queer, black trans masculine media content creator,” according to Netflix.

Then there’s Xoài Pham, a “a Vietnamese trans woman descended from warriors, healers, and shamans.”

Another in the cohort is a “transfemme Iranian-American filmmaker” with a “dissociative adolescence” who tells stories of “aloof trans girls force-feminizing bigoted men.”

…It’s just fetishes all the way down, isn’t it.

Ohio LGBT Activists Want To Make Sure Gender-Confused Kids Only Have One Option

Popular Kids’ Show CoComelon Lane Features Boy In Tutu And Tiara Dancing For 2 Gay Dads

In a shocking about face, the United Nations comes out against transgenderism; the question is why, and why now?

New UN study says transgender identities ‘actively erasing women and girls while placing vulnerable children at risk.’ 

We have some shocking news today out of the United Nations.

A U.N. draft report has warned that the push to elevate transgender identities is actively erasing women and girls, while placing vulnerable children at risk.

As noted by Slay News, the report affirms what many critics of gender ideology have long feared.

Led by Reem Alsalem, a Jordanian human rights scholar who serves as the U.N.’s Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, the report takes a hard line against transgender policies, warning that gender dysphoria is “socially contagious.”

The report asserts that the rise of transgenderism is negatively impacting women’s rights worldwide and seeks to “erase” real females.

The U.N. report, titled Sex-based violence against women and girls: new frontiers and emerging issues, denounces the efforts to unlink biological sex from the definition of “men” and “women.”

It further states that such moves are undermining women’s hard-won legal protections.

Alsalem describes this as an effort to “erase” women as a distinct legal category, calling it a form of “coercive inclusion” that forces women to sacrifice their own rights for the sake of others.

She writes:

“We have seen a concerted international push to delink the definition of men and women from their biological sex and erase the legal category of ‘women.’ Women are therefore being denied their rightful recognition as a distinct category in law and society.”

The report also criticizes the Orwellian redefining of words and language to erase the biological realities of women.

Terms like “birthing persons,” “menstruators,” and “vagina havers” are used in place of the word “women,” which Alsalem decries as dehumanizing and biologically reductive.

Alsalem rejects the idea that gender identity supersedes biological sex.

The report goes further by condemning the rise of gender-affirming treatments for children, which has become a deeply controversial issue in Western societies, though roundly condemned in countries like Russia and across the Global South.

Alsalem highlights the concerning co-occurrence of gender dysphoria and autism among children.

She points to the long-lasting harm caused by socially and medically transitioning children, including “persistence or intensification of psychological distress, body dissatisfaction, infertility, early onset of menopause, and sexual dysfunction.”

HERE’S MY TAKE: This is a hard rebuke, leaving no room for misunderstanding. The U.N. is now fully against the transgender mania that has been front and center for at least the last seven or eight years.

I have long believed that the transgender issue was being used by the globalists as a temporary distraction. Once it had served its purpose, it would be cast aside like a hot potato.

So what was its purpose?

Transgenderism is such a lightning-rod issue with conservatives, and rightly so, that it easily diverted attention away from other issues that the globalists see as more important for permanent implementation. Things like digital IDs and digital/programmable currencies. Under the “conservative” regime of Donald Trump, both of these essential tools of the new digital world order are being built out and readied for implementation. Trump just announced his new digital Stablecoin and he’s enforcing the transition to a biometric “Real ID.” These are the types of “advances” that are critical for building out the infrastructure of the New World Order. Transgenderism was always a side issue of temporary value to the globalists.

In other words, if your plan is to permanently strip people of their freedom, you don’t need rampant transgenderism. If your ultimate goal is to usher in a one-world government and global digital surveillance state, you can do it without transgenderism but you can’t do it without digital currencies and digital IDs.

So to see perhaps the world’s foremost globalist body, the United Nations, suddenly shift gears and come out against transgenderism, while refreshing on the one hand, it is also scary. Why is it scary? Because it signals to me that they are now confident that they no longer need this throw-away distractive issue to serve as cover while they sneak into society their more important totalitarian mechanisms. They’re confident they have enough support now to put the big game-changing policies in place that will take the world in a direction they have long sought to take it — total information awareness in a technocratic AI surveillance state where all human movement, all human consumption and all financial transactions will be tracked in real time, the makings for a true social-credit scoring system.

People, we are closer than ever to the globalist New World Order that we all knew was lurking behind the facade of our so-called “free society.” This is a world order where they, the AI-enabled technocrats who control the algorithms, decide what we eat, where we travel, who we meet, and what we are ALLOWED to spend our money on. Rights are being gradually replaced with privileges. Only the privileged with high social credit scores will be allowed to do certain things. Those who are disobedient will just have their money turned off, or restricted to a certain area for purchase of certain essentials.

Now you know why Fox News and the other more establishment “conservative” media spent so much time harping about transgenders the last seven years — transgenders in sports, transgenders in schools, transgenders in libraries, transgenders dancing in front of small children. It was an issue that could easily get the patriotic Christian right all riled up, disoriented and distracted, sapping much of the energy it would have required to stop the march toward a digital slave state. Now we find out that transgenderism was never that important to the globalists. It was just a throw-away issue, to the point where some of them are now actually condemning it.

I’m not saying this issue is going to disappear completely. We’re not there yet. But it’s the beginning of the end for transgenders being treated as one of the most-favored groups in society.

Don’t mistake this shifting position as the U.N. somehow coming out of the darkness and into the light. They’re not. They never will be on our side. The real battle is just beginning.

EXCLUSIVE: University Of Kentucky Offers To Violate State Law To Trans Kids — Changes Tune When Reporter Notices

The University of Kentucky’s hospital system hypothetically offered to provide transgender services to a child, which would constitute a violation of state law, according to an investigation by the Daily Caller.

A staff member for the UK HealthCare Department of Family and Community Medicine at Circle told the Caller on March 31 that they would schedule an appointment for hormone therapy for a hypothetical 15-year-old child.

“Um, yes, we do have trans … health at Circle,” the staff member said during a phone conversation.

“I also wanted to say that he’s also 15, I wasn’t sure if that changes anything,” a Caller reporter stated.

The staff member replied, “It does not.”

When asked specifically what services Circle provides, the staff member explained, “Hormone therapy — we don’t do the surgeries but we do have a facility that does surgery.”

Republicans in the Kentucky legislature passed a law in 2023 that would ban sex change surgeries, hormone therapy, and puberty blockers for patients under 18. Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear vetoed the legislation, but the legislature overrode his veto in March 2023. Beshear claimed the ban would “endanger the children of Kentucky.”

The University of Kentucky said in a statement to the Caller the next day, April 1, that they follow state law, as well as President Donald Trump’s executive order pulling federal funding from healthcare facilities that provide gender transition services to minors.

“The University complies with State Law and President Trump’s Executive Order on Gender Affirming Care,” Kristi Willett, the executive director of public relations for the University of Kentucky, told the Caller.

Trump signed an executive order Jan. 28 prohibiting federal funding from going to hospitals and healthcare facilities that offered sex changes to minors. The order was paused in late February after two federal judges issued preliminary injunctions in response to legal challenges against the president’s action. A Daily Caller investigation found that more than three dozen hospitals were still offering the services to minors.

Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said in a statement that hospitals who “chemically and surgically mutilate” children “should be held accountable.”

“Protecting Kentucky kids is not up for debate. President Trump and Kentucky lawmakers took decisive actions to end this permanent, life-altering harm. Any medical professional who chemically and surgically mutilates vulnerable children in secret or under the guise of some rebranded effort should be held accountable,” Cameron told the Caller.

The Caller called UK HealthCare’s Circle clinic again on April 2, the day after receiving a statement from the university denying that they were violating state law. This time, the Caller was given a different story as to whether or not they are still providing “gender affirming care.”

“I just spoke with my manager and she said there is a new law where apparently they have to be over 18 for hormone therapy,” a staff member said. “They could still be scheduled in the clinic but they would not be able to do the hormone therapy.”

Republican Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman did not respond to a request for comment.

Why Senator Rick Scott Shut Down Our Christian Film About the LGBT Agenda

EDITORS NOTE: This Daily Caller column is republished with permission. ©All rights reserved.

Why Senator Rick Scott Shut Down Our Christian Film About the LGBT Agenda

When even Republican senators are too afraid to host a Christian film, it’s not just a cancellation—it’s a crisis of courage. 

We expected backlash. We expected protests. We even expected the mainstream media to attack our film.

But what we didn’t expect—and what shocked us to the core—was being canceled by one of our own, a move that left us all in disbelief.

This June, our Christian Action Network was scheduled to premiere our new documentary, Stolen Rainbow, in the Senate Hart Office Building. We had submitted the request, received a positive response from Senator Rick Scott’s office, and were preparing to launch the film just steps from the U.S. Capitol.

Then—without warning—Senator Rick Scott pulled the plug.

Let me be clear: this wasn’t a misunderstanding, this wasn’t a double booking, and it certainly wasn’t because of a lack of space.

Here’s what we received from Elli Dalton, Sen. Scott’s scheduler, on March 14 in response to our room request:

“Thank you for sending this request. I will work on this and circle back with any availability!”

Though not using the word “approved,” that response is effectively a green light. Anyone familiar with Senate building operations knows that finding a room for a June event with that much notice is not an issue. After that message, we began preparing for the screening.

But three weeks passed. No updates. No room number. No response.

So, we followed up. And that’s when the door slammed shut.

On April 3, we received this:

“I’m so sorry, we do not expect to be able to accommodate this room request. We will let you know if anything changes but I suggest reaching out to a different office. I apologize for the inconvenience.”

No explanation. No clarification. And most telling of all: no mention of room unavailability.

We replied graciously, even offering flexibility in the timing—any day, any month.

But we never heard back. We were ghosted like a 16-year-old girl on prom night.

This was not a scheduling issue.

This was a decision—and a deliberate one. A decision that could have been communicated weeks earlier.

Instead, they left us rotting like an overripe banana and then had the audacity to suggest we “reach out to a different office,” something they could easily have told us back in March, giving us more time to reach “a different office.”

So What Happened?

Let me be blunt: Stolen Rainbow isn’t “hateful,” “homophobic,” or “extremist.” It’s a factual, hard-hitting documentary that exposes how the LGBT movement hijacked the rainbow, rewrote history, and pushed a radical agenda that’s targeting America’s children under the false flag of love and inclusion.

It’s bold—but it’s the truth.

And apparently, the truth is now too dangerous for the U.S. Senate.

It’s packed with facts, testimony, and courage—exactly the kind of message that will panic both activist groups and (apparently) Republican senators.

It’s no stretch to believe that political pressure—perhaps even from within his own office—pushed Senator Scott to revoke our reservation. But instead of standing strong, he chose silence, safety, and walking away from the fight.

And by doing so, he handed the radical left exactly what they wanted: a Christian voice silenced on Capitol Hill.

The GOP’s Culture War Retreat?

Senator Scott’s actions raise a bigger question: What’s happening to the conservative movement?

When even Republican senators refuse to host a film exposing the LGBT agenda—when they quietly step back rather than stand up—who’s left to defend truth?

The message to Christians is loud and clear: Don’t count on Capitol Hill.

If the Senate Won’t Hear It, We’ll Take It to the People

We’re not quitting. If Senator Scott won’t host Stolen Rainbow, then we’ll find a venue that will. A different Member of Congress. A theater. A church. A public square.

We will show this film.

Because if the rainbow has been stolen, we’re going to take it back—one heart, one screen, one stand at a time.

But we can’t do it alone. We need your help to make this happen.

Help Us Stand Where Others Backed Down

We’re working now to reschedule the premiere—possibly at a nearby venue in Washington, D.C.—and to launch a bold nationwide campaign to ensure this film reaches families, pastors, and educators across America.

If you’re tired of Christian voices being silenced—even by so-called conservatives—then stand with us. We’re not giving up. We’re taking Stolen Rainbow directly to the people.

But we need your help to do it.

Click the donate button below to help us reschedule the premiere, launch a national campaign, and make sure this film is seen—loudly and unapologetically—across America.

Because if we don’t speak up now… who will?

It Appears Democrats Have Finally Picked A Hill To Die On

Democrats are doubling down on left-wing gender ideology despite their viewpoints being increasingly unpopular with the average American.

The vast majority of Americans support reversing the Biden administration’s extreme approach to transgender issues, including barring biological males from participating in women’s sports. But Democratic lawmakers, including those representing congressional districts President Donald Trump won in November, are continuing to push left-wing stances on transgender issues that are seemingly at odds with their own voters.

“Rather than changing course and abandoning the destructive transgender agenda, Democrats are ignoring what the majority of Americans know to be true just to appease the radical wing of their party,” Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement. “I hope Democrats keep running campaigns that focus on the transgender agenda; it will make Republican candidates’ cycles much easier.”

Schilling’s firm spent more than $18 million on transgender issues-focused ads nationally during the 2024 election cycle — and to great effect.

Highlighting former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party as being too far left on transgender issues was one of the most effective advertising campaigns in rallying support for Trump and GOP candidates down the ballot during the 2024 election cycle, according to multiple reports.

The Trump campaign spent roughly one-third of its advertising budget on Harris’ left-wing views on transgender issues, according to an ABC News report.

Despite surveys suggesting that transgender issues rank low on the totem pole of motivating issues to voters, seeing ads that excoriated Democrats for caving to transgender activists at the expense of women and girls appeared to resonate with voters.

Harris’ leading super PAC estimated that voters shifted 2.7 percentage points in Trump’s favor after watching a popular ad featuring radio host Charlamagne Tha God bashing the Democratic nominee for being too left-wing on transgender issues.

“Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners,” Charlamagne asserted with proof. “Hell no I don’t want my taxpayer dollars going to that.

“Kamala is for they/them, Donald Trump is for you,” that ad continued.

Harris’ campaign reportedly produced a series of ads to refute the Trump campaign’s talking points that exposed the Democratic nominee as being radical on cultural issues, but found that none of them swayed voters.

Most Americans recognize clear biological differences between men and women. They are also concerned that allowing biological males to compete in girls and women’s sports will negatively impact the safety of female athletes and fair play, according to recent polling.

Approximately 79% of Americans oppose biological males competing in women’s sports, according to a New York Times-Survey conducted between Jan. 2 and Jan. 10.

Nearly 70% of Democrats or participants who “lean Democrat” told the Times they opposed transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.

That may come as a surprise to congressional Democrats who continue to vote “no” on legislation that would keep men out of women’s sports.

A staggering 206 House Democrats voted against legislation offered by Florida Republican Rep. Greg Steube to bar transgender athletes in girls and women’s sports on Jan. 14.

Just two Democratic lawmakers, Texas Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, who represent socially conservative districts that Trump won, backed the bill.

However, eleven other House Democrats who are in Trump districts, voted “no” or “present” on the bill despite many of their constituents supporting legislation to bar men from women’s sports.

Only Democratic Nevada Rep. Susie Lee put out a statement explaining her opposition, calling the women’s sports protection bill “extreme” and “government overreach at its finest.” The president narrowly defeated Harris in her district.

Democratic Reps. Tom Suozzi of New York, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio and Don Davis of North Carolina also withheld their support for the bill despite Trump winning more than 50% of the vote in districts they represent.

“Every Democrat who voted against keeping biological males out of girls’ sports is showing the American people that they care more about bowing to the radical left than protecting young women,” Congressional Leadership Fund press secretary Maureen O’Toole told the DCNF.

The bill has yet to be taken up by the Senate where it faces uncertain prospects due the upper chamber’s 60-vote threshold.

Three other Democratic lawmakers who represent Trump districts and voted against the women’s sports bill, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine and California Reps. Josh Harder and Adam Gray, have also been silent on their home states defying the president’s executive order on women’s sports.

The executive order interprets federal IX rules to prohibit transgender athletes from girls and women’s sports and directs agencies to withhold federal funding from schools that refuse to comply.

Both Maine and California’s governing bodies for high school sports have pledged to continue allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports in defiance of Trump’s executive order, which he signed on Feb. 5.

A biological male athlete won a girls’ high school pole vaulting competition in Maine on Feb. 7.

Trump tore into Democratic Maine Governor Janet Mills for not complying with his “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order during a meeting with a bipartisan group of governors on Friday. “You better comply, you better comply, because otherwise you’re not getting any federal funding,” the president told Mills.

The Department of Education subsequently announced the agency was opening a Title IX investigation into the state’s education department and one school district for violating the executive order following Trump and Mills’ heated exchange.

Spokespersons for Golden, Gray and Harder did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s multiple requests for comment about whether their states should adhere to Trump’s executive order.

Other Democratic lawmakers, such as Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, appeared to moderate their views on transgender issues following the election, only to close ranks and join with their Democratic colleagues in opposing legislation to protect women’s sports and their access to women-only spaces.

“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton told the Times on Nov. 7. “I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”

Moulton’s decision to recognize an obvious biological difference between men and women drew consternation from left-wing activists that protested his district office, his campaign manager who promptly resigned and Democratic Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey.

He voted against House Republicans’ women’s sports bill less than two months later, claiming the legislation went “too far” and is “extreme.”

Despite Democrats’ reticence to articulate their views on transgender issues, a majority of voters appear to support legislation and the president’s executive actions to protect women’s sports and end federal support for child sex changes.

“Anyone who has been paying attention to this election cycle shouldn’t be surprised that President Trump’s executive orders asserting there are only two sexes and protecting women’s sports are, by even legacy media’s standards, extremely popular,” Schilling told the DCNF.

Democratic Party leaders are still looking for an effective retort to GOP messaging accusing them of being radical on transgender issues.

At the Democratic National Committee’s candidate forum to lead the party on Jan. 31, MSNBC host Symone Sanders asked the candidates how the party should have responded to the Trump campaign’s transgender-focused ads.

Former Democratic Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley gave a brief statement about the importance of universal dignity before calling the issue a “distraction” and quickly pivoted to attacking Trump for being friends with Elon Musk.

An FBI Agent Refused To Go Along With The Biden Admin’s Anti-‘Extremism’ Agenda — It Cost Him His Career

When Zach Schoffstall, a former supervisory senior resident agent in the FBI’s Salt Lake City Division, heard his bosses wanted to focus more on “domestic terrorism” and “hate crimes,” he tried to work with them. He brought the U.S. Attorney in Idaho two hate crime cases.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) declined to prosecute both. Instead, Schoffstall told the Daily Caller, the Attorney for the District of Idaho, Josh Hurwit, said he was more interested in appeasing the Biden administration by hosting seminars to talk about hate crimes. Later on, when the FBI pushed Schoffstall to execute a search warrant against a “domestic extremist” group protesting LGBTQ activists, he refused. It eventually cost him his career.

“I had been told I brought embarrassment to the bureau because of all the pressure that DOJ placed on the bureau to get that warrant,” Schoffstall told the Caller.

In June of 2022, 31 Patriot Front members were arrested and charged with conspiracy to riot after they were found carrying poles and shields in a U-Haul at a Coeur d’Alene “Pride in the Park” event. Schoffstall said the group is known to protest BLM, LGBTQ, and anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) events.

Pride in the Park generated outrage after it was revealed that Idaho’s Satanic Temple chapter and sexualized drag queens would be present at the “family-friendly” event. Christian pastors, however, were removed for allegedly trespassing. The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office said that month that it was investigating whether a performer’s genitals were potentially exposed, according to the Idaho Dispatch.

At least one member of Antifa was also arrested at the pride event, Andy Ngo reported.

“It would appear from our investigation, [Patriot Font] went to great lengths to prevent anyone from committing an act of violence,” Schoffstall said. “They would suspend people for talking about it. They’d kick them out.”

While he said the group’s message was “pretty stupid,” Schoffstall emphasized that he never saw any calls for violence.

Still, the USAO and executive management at the FBI were determined to execute a federal search warrant, even pushing Schoffstall to give the warrant to an agent “with no knowledge of the investigation.”

After he refused, Schoffstall was removed and transferred to West Virginia to work in the Criminal Justice Information Services Division. Despite receiving feedback that he performed at an “exemplary level,” Schoffstall was dismissed in 2024 because of how he handled the 2022 investigation, he said.

The Patriot Front case was transferred to an LGBTQ FBI supervisor in Boise, according to Schoffstall. Additionally, Coeur d’Alene’s USAO branch manager had a child who was “transitioning” at the time of the Boise Pride event, Schoffstall said. He speculated there was a combination of “personal and political agendas.”

“You had obviously an [assistant U.S. attorney] with a personal interest in the LGBTQ movement,” Schoffstall said. “And you had a brand new U.S. attorney who stated he was looking to appease DOJ.”

Josh Hurwit was “looking to appear to be in the good graces of [DOJ],” Schoffstall told the Caller. Hurwit was nominated by President Joe Biden, and FEC filings show he donated to Biden and Harris’s presidential campaigns. He is also a supporter of the LGBTQ movement and attended a Boise Pride event in December 2022.

The Biden administration made advancing “racial equity,” a euphemism for discarding merit to judge individuals based on their race, a key tenet of its executive brand policy. At the DOJ, this manifested in the form of an annual “equity action plan.”

Hurwit reportedly told Schoffstall that one of his priorities as attorney for the District of Idaho would be combating hate crimes.

Schoffstall told the Caller he notified the USAO of two potential hate crimes. In one instance, a white male allegedly assaulted a black man with a knife and used racial slurs. In another, a Hispanic man was allegedly punched by a white man using racial slurs.

The USAO declined to prosecute both cases. Schoffstall later informed Hurwit about the potential hate crimes.

“He said, ‘Oh, I wasn’t aware, but I was more thinking we would do some conferences and so forth on the hate crime issues,’” Schoffstall stated.

“I think my takeaway from that was Mr. Hurwit, as the new U.S. Attorney, was very much just looking to appear to be in the good graces of main justice and parrot whatever they wanted him to parrot, but they weren’t necessarily looking for basic criminal prosecutions.”

The Caller reached out to Hurwit’s office for comment on the above but has not yet heard back.

Hurwit did establish a COVID-19 Fraud Task Force in 2023 to prosecute individuals who exploited various pandemic-related programs for fraud purposes. (RELATED: Kamala’s Last-Ditch Pitch To Black Men Is A Dream For Scammers, Fraudsters)

The DOJ launched a “United Against Hate” (UAH) initiative under Biden in 2022 to combat hate crimes. The program partnered nonprofits and USAOs with the DOJ and FBI to “combat hate.”

“UAH shares resources to combat hate and encourages discussion between representatives from law enforcement, community organizations, and members of the public,” a DOJ press release stated.

Rather than prosecute hate crimes, Hurwit cosponsored a UAH event with Idaho State University in 2023 which included presentations about how to report them. He also participated in an event with the DOJ, FBI, and the Idaho nonprofit “Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations,” in 2022.

The City of Coeur d’Alene passed an anti-hate crime ordinance in July 2024. One of the city’s councilmembers, Christie Wood, is on the board of the Task Force involved in the DOJ’s UAH program.

“The new U.S. attorney, you know, told me that he was wanting to parrot the priorities of DOJ main, and that included having conferences and at least making the appearance they were trying to do something about hate crimes,” Schoffstall said.

Hurwit spoke at the Task Force’s banquet in 2024. The group is based in Coeur d’Alene and worked with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to bankrupt the white-nationalist Aryan Nations, according to The Spokesman Review. Idaho’s USAO also co-sponsored a 2023 UAH event at Boise State University with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of the Pacific Northwest.

“I think this goes back to the Patriot Front issue,” Schoffstall told the Caller.

“They quickly realized they couldn’t charge these guys with a federal crime, right? But I think the facts would indicate that they wanted to make the appearance that they were leaning heavily into this and they were going to do something about it.”

In the end, the Patriot Front case amounted to almost nothing — the group’s leader walked free, and a handful were convicted of “conspiracy to riot,” bringing jail sentences of a few days and modest fines. The others pled guilty and received even softer punishments.

Jaguar Rebranded: The Woke War against Normal

Marketing campaigns are, it is generally recognized, an attempt to sell a particular product or service. This can be done in any number of ways, from presenting a product as enticing to showcasing the necessity of a product to using humor or star power to generate appeal. In almost all cases, however, it is advisable to feature the product itself in one’s marketing campaigns. World-renowned automobile manufacturer Jaguar has, as of late, opted to disregard this latter standard — or, indeed, any of the aforementioned standards — and debuted a new marketing campaign comprised solely of the bizarre.

In addition to unveiling a new logo — which noticeably does not feature the company’s iconic, eponymous, pouncing big cat — Jaguar launched a new ad this week. The ad featured a host of androgynous individuals clad in brightly-colored outfits of a design so strange that the denizens of the Capitol in “The Hunger Games” appear commonplace and well-adjusted.

The ad features an Asian man wearing a yellow tank top and matching vinyl tutu, a black man (I am presuming that it is a man, anyway) sporting an afro that seems to be missing an entire quarter of itself and wearing a skintight red bodysuit with furry boots that look as though they could have been designed by Dr. Seuss in delirium, a black woman with a shaved head wearing a dress that resembles badly-arranged tissue paper sticking out of the top of a gift bag, a man who looks alarmingly similar to actress Tilda Swinton and is clothed in a garish orange dress seemingly made of rubber, and a whole cast of other bizarre figures of unsettling appearance and uncertain gender. The ad also features large pink rocks, upside-down rooms, and the brightest yellow elevator doors one could envision. What the ad does not feature is a Jaguar.

It wasn’t always this way, of course. Jaguar was once reputed for making the coolest cars ever, and everyone knew it. James Bond drove a Jaguar (2002’s “Die Another Day” and 2015’s “Spectre” are prime examples); a Jaguar made a memorable appearance in the “Fast and Furious” franchise; and pop stars from Jay Z to Lana Del Rey have featured the car in their glamorous music videos.

In 2015, less than 10 years ago, Jaguar launched an ad campaign headlined by English movie stars Ben Kinglsey, Mark Strong, and Tom Hiddleston, all three of whom are known for playing villains. As Strong and Hiddleston race to a luxurious mansion, Strong behind the wheel of a Jaguar and Hiddleston being outpaced in a helicopter, the trio of actors discuss the English heritage of the Jaguar and why Brits make such excellent movie villains. As Strong and Hiddleston arrive at the mansion, Kingsley, having freshly donned a sleek bow tie and dinner jacket, intones, “Oh, yes. It’s good to be bad.”

That ad campaign understood who the buyer is and what he’s looking for. Nobody buys a Jaguar because it’s affordable or convenient or fuel efficient. People buy Jaguars because they’re cool, sleek, seductive, and powerful. Movie villains, especially the sort portrayed by the likes of Kingsley, Strong, and Hiddleston, exude the very elegance, power, and affluence that Jaguar was once synonymous with. Besides, watching three big-name actors race helicopters and luxury cars to a veritable palace laden with high-tech security measures is simply cool.

In another series of ads, Hiddleston compared the revving of a Jaguar’s engine to the authority of an English movie villain’s voice and the car’s advanced technology to the sort of gadgetry that one would expect from a Bond film. In an age where patriotism and national pride are practically verboten, especially in Europe, it seems almost shocking to think that Jaguar’s ads even included a monologue from William Shakespeare’s “Richard II,” praising the English nation and the men who made her.

The simple fact is that Jaguar used to be cool. Whatever the company’s new logo and ad campaign may be — bizarre, indecipherable, amorphous, woke — they are not cool. Woke is the opposite of cool. Cool sells, woke doesn’t. Countless corporate titans have evidently learned their lessons when it comes to handling the poison known as woke. Bud LightTractor SupplyJohn DeereLowe’sRip Curl, and numerous other brands and retailers have discovered that vociferously promoting LGBT ideology is a death sentence for corporate profits. Jaguar may simply be late to the game, but the car manufacturer will also learn this lesson.

James Bond speeding along the cliffs of the Amalfi coast with a truckload of armed and uniformed villains in hot pursuit is cool. Bruce Wayne leaving his Gotham City penthouse and racing through the streets to reach the Batcave is cool. Jason Bourne evading CIA goons and tearing through downtown New York City is cool. Dirty Harry chasing a crazed criminal down the California freeway is cool. A man in a dress is not cool. A morbidly obese woman is not cool. Woke is not cool. Jaguar has chosen to abandon its heritage and the image of “cool” with which the company has become almost synonymous in favor of woke.

At its core, woke is the infantile, futile attempt to subvert and alter reality without any real effort. A man declaring himself a woman can never change the incontrovertible fact of his biological makeup by donning a pair of high heels and lecturing others about his new pronouns. This is also why woke is so obnoxious, so blatant, and so “in your face.” Reality needs no filter to be understood as reality; a six-foot-tall man with a big beard and a burly chest does not need to clarify that he is a man, it is simply understood.

But a six-foot-tall man in a ballgown has to tell others that he identifies as a woman and demands to be called “she” and “her,” because his subversion or alteration of reality is so clearly contradictory to reality; he cannot just be a six-foot-tall man in a dress, which is what reality denotes to the casual observer. Woke needs filters, it must filter reality through its own series of lenses in order to present its own distorted replication of reality; it can never simply rely on reality.

Cool, on the other hand, is rooted in reality. Unlike woke, it needs no filters. One need not be lectured about the emotional science of sound to get a slight thrill when a powerful engine roars to life beneath the hood. One need not have gone through excitement management training courses in order to cheer when an athlete pulls off a seemingly impossible feat. Cool is unafraid of itself, it presents itself simply, as part of the fabric of reality. Another thing: cool sells.

Whether it’s Jaguar or some other corporation, any conglomerate that goes woke is not doing so in order to market a product. This is a common (although well-meaning) misconception among many on the Right; we assume, based on our own mindset and goodwill, that these corporations and companies mistakenly believe that they will appeal to an evolving population of consumers and increase profits. This is not correct. These companies are, with few — if any — exceptions, not hurting for money, and most have the experience and history to know how to maintain and increase profits.

They are not promoting a product, they are promoting an ideology. Retail department stores do not sell rainbow Pride flag onesies because market research shows a sudden demand for LGBT-themed apparel among two-year-olds: they do so in the hope that the moms and dads who actually shop for their two-year-olds will believe that introducing toddlers to LGBT ideology is normal — or at least popular. Children’s entertainment companies do not introduce new characters with “they/them” pronouns and same-sex partners because they believe that five- and six-year-old viewers are craving LGBT representation: they do so in an effort to introduce children to ideas that would have otherwise never occurred to them, and to invite the children to question the ideas with which they have been raised.

In the end, woke is not a marketing technique or ploy, it is an act of ideological warfare. Jaguar is not on a sudden quest to sell its cars exclusively to they/thems and androgynous ethnic minorities. No, the automobile manufacturer is trying to replace its carefully-curated cool image with woke, and is hoping that everyone will mistake the former for the latter. If Jaguar is cool and Jaguar is woke, then woke must be cool, right?

But the filters have been falling over the past few years, like scales from one’s eyes. Jaguar may find that it has arrived to the woke party a little too late. While it’s true that none of these major corporations is quite hurting for money, everybody who’s sick to their stomachs of the incessant whining, labeling, and filtering necessitated by woke may just decide to make these corporations hurt for money.

Top Law Firms Backing Child Sex Changes Funneled Money Into Org That Trains Judges On Gender Ideology

Transgender activists using litigation to push child sex changes simultaneously sponsor an organization that teaches judges to view cases through the lens of gender ideology.

The Judicial Education Program at UCLA School of Law’s Williams Institute partners with courts and judicial associations across the country to provide trainings that persuade judges to bring gender ideology into the courtroom, offering primers on the spectrum of sexual identities and suggesting they use pronouns when introducing themselves.

Meanwhile, its donors and corporate sponsors have for years been on the frontlines of lawsuits advancing LGBT causes, from legalizing same-sex marriage to opposing state child sex change bans.

Richard Painter, former chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, told the Daily Caller News Foundation he has “long called upon federal judges not to attend subject specific ‘training’ and ‘education’ programs” like the ones offered by Williams Institute.

“Judges can learn about subjects such as LGBT issues and economics on their own without ‘training’ funded by lawyers who argue cases in front of them or organizations that are parties to cases before them,” Painter told the DCNF. “In screening potential Supreme Court nominees for ethics issues, I remember asking about attendance at such ‘free’ seminars.”

One of the reasons Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito passed ethics clearance for appointment to the Supreme Court is because they did not participate in these kinds of programs, Painter noted.

Thousands of judges and their staffs have encountered training material produced by the Williams Institute.

Todd Brower, director of the Judicial Education Program at the Williams Institute, wrote in a 2019 letter to the House Judiciary Committee that he has trained “over 5000 judges, court staff and related court professionals from virtually every state in the United States on sexual orientation and gender identity issues for nearly 15 years.”

The institute’s Judicial Education Program, which operates alongside the International Association of LGBTQ+ Judges and the LGBTQ Bar Association, has offered trainings at venues including the New Mexico Judicial Conference, National Association of State Judicial Educators and National Judicial College, according to its website.

Brower taught a webinar for Ohio court personnel in November 2022 titled, “Sexual Identity and Gender Identity in the Courts,” according to a list previously obtained by the DCNF. He taught a course on incorporating pronoun usage and an awareness of gender identity into the courtroom at the Nevada Supreme Court in July 2023, the DCNF previously reported.

The institute was also involved in a May 2023 “Pride & Pronouns” training hosted at the Superior Court of Santa Cruz County.

This work, along with the institute’s research, is funded by several major law firms that do pro bono work to support LGBT-related activist litigation, from opposing child sex-change bans in red states to filing amicus briefs in key Supreme Court cases, according to a packet listing current and former sponsors.

“When a group like UCLA’s Williams Institute or the Climate Judiciary Project, for example, seeks behind-the-scenes access to judges, it is worth asking questions about the group’s funding and sponsors,” Carrie Severino, president of the conservative legal advocacy group JCN, told the DCNF. “Who are the sponsors we don’t know about? Why is the group interested in conducting such a training?”

One sponsor, Covington & Burling, records that it spent 10,200 pro bono hours in 2023 on LGBTQ+ matters, including leading an effort by medical associations to oppose child-sex change bans by filing amicus briefs in cases challenging the red state laws.

The firm represented the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in a case challenging Alabama’s ban on child sex changes. Discovery in the Alabama case revealed WPATH allowed political concerns to influence its Standards of Care (SOC-8) guidelines, succumbing to pressure from the Biden administration and “social justice lawyers.”

Two firms, Akin Gump and Sidley Austin, were part of an effort launched in 2019 with the Human Rights Campaign to bring strategic litigation to “combat the relentless attacks on LGBTQ equality by the Trump-Pence administration.”

Akin Gump joined the American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal and another firm to challenge Tennessee’s ban on child sex change procedures last year.

The Supreme Court will consider the Biden administration’s challenge to the same Tennessee law this term.

Another sponsor, Baker McKenzie, partnered with Lambda Legal and the Southern Poverty Law Center to fight Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill in court. The firm received an award from the LGBT advocacy group Stonewall for its litigation to “support and advance opportunities for LGBTQ+ young people across the country.”

The law firm Sheppard Mullin Richter serves as the national pro bono counsel for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), meaning its attorneys “regularly attend board meetings and represent the GLAAD when litigation arises,” according to the firm’s website.

Latham & Watkins helped the Williams Institute file its amicus brief in the Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court case, which legalized same-sex marriage. Research from the brief was ultimately cited in the ruling.

Other firms that support the Williams Institute and engage in pro bono LGBT litigation include Kirkland & Ellis, Munger, Tolles & Olson and O’Melveny & Myers,

The Williams Institute operates with an over $4.5 million annual budget, according to its website.

“The funding of such ‘training’ of judges by law firms with a stake in LGBTQ-related case outcomes doesn’t pass the smell test,” Sarah Parshall Perry, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, told the DCNF. “And frankly, it would also be a violation of the lawyer’s code of professional ethics to allow private law firms to sponsor these one-sided trainings designed to reach preferred courtroom outcomes.”

These kinds of training are why state courts “have been overtaken by the despotism of ideological newspeak,” she said.

“Within the domestic relations field, for example, there have been increasingly problematic determinations from state judges on issues such a child custody, when a parent who does not automatically affirm a minor child’s expression of gender identity is subsequently divested of custody under the auspices that automatic affirmation by the other parent would be in the child’s ‘best interest,’” Perry said.

Pushing Child Sex Changes

The Williams Institute is tied to organizations that spearheaded the push for child gender transitions.

The institute’s faculty advisory committee now includes Jillian T. Weiss, executive director of Transgender Legal Defense & Education, and Mark Schuster, CEO of the Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine in California.

Multiple detransitioners, such as Chloe Cole, have sued Kaiser Permanente for administering sex-change procedures like puberty blockers and double mastectomies to them as children.

The institute’s nonprofit donors backed the legal and medical groups that helped erase safeguards for children.

The Chicago-based Tawani Foundation, founded by transgender activist Jennifer (formerly James) Pritzker, has given the Williams Institute more than $1.4 million since 2018, according to tax documents.

Pritzker, a father and retired army lieutenant colonel who now identifies as a woman, is a major funder of WPATH. He received a philanthropy award from the organization for offering “longstanding support” and aid to produce the SOC8 guidelines.

Court documents unsealed in a case challenging Alabama’s ban on sex change procedures for minors revealed WPATH avoided evidence reviews for its SOC8 guidelines on the advice of “social justice” attorneys. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine also successfully pressured WPATH to remove its minimum age recommendations.

The Tawani Foundation awarded $275,000 to WPATH between 2019 and 2020, tax records show.

The foundation also funds a slew of LGBT litigation efforts. Since 2018, it has awarded the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund $437,500, the National Center for Transgender Equality $125,000 and $100,000 to GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, per tax records.

The San Francisco-based Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr. Fund has given the Williams Institute $282,500 since 2016. Over the same time period, it awarded nearly $1.27 million to the National Center for Transgender Equality, $1.08 million to the Transgender Law Center, $80,000 to the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, $1.7 million to the National Center For Lesbian Rights and $435,500 to Lambda Legal, per tax records.

The left-wing Tides Center works with and financially sponsors the fund’s Haas Leadership Initiatives program, which offers grants to organizations to support litigation that increases “the legal privileges of LGBT people,” according to Influence Watch.

The Williams Institute has also received a total of $283,348 from the David Bohnett Foundation since 2004, according to grants reported on its website. Most recently, the organization gave $5,000 for its 2024 gala.

Bohnett Foundation president Michael Fleming is married to his same-sex partner, California Court of Appeal Justice Luis A. Lavin, according to his bio. Lavin spoke at the Williams Institute’s LGBTQ Bench webinar in 2021.

The David Bohnett Foundation has donated to various other groups pushing cases through the legal system, such as the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, the Transgender Law Center, Lambda Legal and the National Center for Lesbian Rights.

The Williams Institute, Covington & Burling, Akin Gump, Sidley Austin, Baker McKenzie, Sheppard Mullin Richter, Latham & Watkins, Kirkland & Ellis, Munger, Tolles & Olson and O’Melveny & Myers did not respond to requests for comment. Pritzker also did not respond to a request for comment.

FEMA’s New Playbook: Save the LGBT and Leave the Rest to Rot

You might think this shocking story is one big conspiracy theory. But you’d be wrong—or, if it is, blame the New York Post for this sensational bombshell.

The federal government never ceases to amaze.

When disaster strikes, you’d think FEMA would have a pretty simple mission: get in, help as many people as possible, and save lives. But apparently, that’s a little too “old school” for today’s disaster relief experts.

Now, it’s not about helping the greatest number of people—no, that would be too utilitarian. Instead, welcome to FEMA 2.0, where “disaster equity” reigns supreme, and some lives, particularly LGBT lives, matter more than others.

In a 2023 webinar titled “Helping LGBTQIA+ Survivors Before Disasters”—because, of course, we need a whole seminar on this—FEMA’s top minds and other federal health and disaster officials decided to lay it all out.

The goal?

Move away from those tired old policies that benefit everyone equally and focus on the real priority: serving specific groups based on innate characteristics like sexual orientation and gender identity.

Who cares if you’re a struggling mom trying to rebuild after a hurricane wiped out your town or a retiree whose home just got turned into a swimming pool?

Apparently, you’re not “marginalized” enough.

Maggie Jarry from SAMHSA even had the audacity to suggest that federal agencies—those tasked with saving lives—need to focus less on the “greatest good for the greatest number” and more on catering to identity politics.

Her exact words? “The shift we’re seeing right now is a shift in emergency services from utilitarian principles… to disaster equity.”

How convenient.

So, forget about the folks who have sex in the conventional love-making style —the ones who might have actually believed FEMA would be there when the winds picked up and the floodwaters rose.

Now, it’s all about helping gays, lesbians, queers, transsexuals, and illegal immigrants.

But let’s talk numbers because the numbers don’t lie—unlike some of FEMA’s public statements. When Hurricane Helene ravaged the Southeast, victims were told that FEMA’s coffers were running dry.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had the nerve to claim there simply wasn’t enough money left to get through the hurricane season.

Yet a Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report from August reveals that FEMA has around $7 billion sitting around—money that could have gone to the victims of Helene and now Hurricane Milton.

So, why the discrepancy? Are they hoping we won’t notice the extra zeroes on their balance sheet?

It’s almost as if FEMA is intentionally keeping those funds in reserve, and gee, I wonder why. Could it be because those dollars are being earmarked for the “marginalized identities” that the webinar panelists gushed about?

Are we really supposed to believe that a federal agency like FEMA just forgot they had $7 billion tucked away somewhere?

This all smacks of a classic bait-and-switch. Tell the general public—especially those left homeless by hurricanes—that there’s no money for them. Then, quietly freeze those funds for special groups that check the right identity boxes.

And let’s not forget the icing on the cake:

FEMA’s new role in addressing the migrant crisis. They’ve blown through $1.4 billion of their funds to help settle migrants since 2022, leaving less for, you know, actual disasters like hurricanes.

So while families in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida are being handed crumbs in the form of $750 checks for groceries, FEMA’s focus has shifted elsewhere—far away from where it’s supposed to be.

But hey, maybe FEMA’s new disaster relief strategy makes perfect sense if you look at it through a particular lens. After all, if you prioritize people based on who they love rather than the severity of their needs, you can still pat yourself on the back for being “equitable.”

Never mind that you’ve just shattered any pretense of fairness or compassion. Never mind that you’ve left families, veterans, and elderly folks out in the cold—quite literally—while you champion your woke agenda.

It’s a tragic joke, and the punchline is at the expense of those who believed their government was supposed to protect them.

The reality is apparent: FEMA has the money. They have billions in funds. But instead of using those resources to help every American affected by disasters like Helene and Milton, they’ve decided the lives of LGBT and immigrant invaders are more deserving than others.

It’s not just a betrayal; it’s discrimination masquerading as compassion.

And what’s their excuse when called out on it? The same old tired lines: “misinformation,” “disinformation.”

But it’s not misinformation when you can see the numbers for yourself. It’s not a conspiracy theory when it’s all laid out in black and white. It’s time FEMA stopped playing favorites and returned to doing its actual job—saving lives, not dividing them.

Not just Christians were insulted in the Olympics Opening ceremony

The Olympics is all about setting records. Well, the first night was a bit of a fizzer, as no world records were set in the swimming – possibly because les génies gastronomiques dishing it out to the athletes went vegan. More about that later.

But the Olympic Opening Ceremony probably did set records for the number of complaints about its parody of the Last Supper and the mountain of self-serving, obfuscatory, double-tongued, oleaginous, smirking, mendacious BS to explain it away.

If you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know what it’s all about, here’s what you need to know.

First of all, Celine Dion was a knock-out. After coming back from a life-threatening illness to belt out the Edith Piaf classic “Hymne à l’amour” before hundreds of millions, she was sensational.

Second, the light show from the Eiffel Tower was absolutely brilliant. Unbeatable.

Third, despite the pouring rain, the flotilla of boats filled with athletes cruising up the  Seine through the heart of Paris was terrific. Clockwork stuff.

Fourth, the tableau featuring drag queens dressed to look like Leonardo da Vinci’s painting “The Last Supper” was a salacious display of aggressively anti-Christian blasphemy. In front of the tableau was a nearly naked man painted blue evoking Dionysius. It was like dining at a three-star Michelin restaurant and finding a cockroach in the bouillabaisse.

(Oh yeah, s’ilvous-plait, what was the little kid doing in there with the drag queens? In the USA someone would certainly have called the gendarmes about that. Perhaps in gay Paris they don’t sweat that sort of thing any more.)

Catholics around the world took umbrage. The French bishops said that the Games were magnificent but that they had been horrified at “scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity.”

Soooooooooo sorry about that, darlings, really truly we are, said a representative of the Olympic Committee. We weren’t aware that we were offending anyone.

Four years to prepare this €120 million (US$130 million) gig, which must have been studied by committee after committee after committee – and you weren’t aware? Don’t tell me that pencil-pushers from the École nationale d’administration are that clueless.

Actually, it’s exactly what you would expect from Thomas Jolly, the 41-year-old director who designed and coordinated the evening’s entertainment. He is openly gay, married to a man, and has a reputation for outré theatre. No doubt he’s brilliant – I’d love to experience his production of H6R3, a production of Shakespeare’s Henry VI trilogy followed by Richard III which runs for 24 straight (no pun intended) hours.

But the putrid convention-busting Last Supper tableau must have been exactly what the organisers wanted: a public service announcement for a post-Christian France.

So what did Tom have to say for himself?

“The idea was to do a big pagan party linked to the gods of Olympus. You’ll never find in my work any desire to mock or denigrate anyone,” he told the media. “I wanted a ceremony that brings people together, that reconciles, but also a ceremony that affirms our Republican values of liberty, equality and fraternity.”

And here’s the official explanation, i.e., lie:

“The absurdity of violence between human beings” – that naked Dionysius is a powerful war-stopping statement, isn’t it? I bet that guys in Ukraine threw down their rifles and leapt over mine fields to embrace their Russian comrades after watching drag queens preening themselves as Apostles.

Actually, The Wrap, an entertainment site, caught Tom out in a massive fib. Their journalist obtained a statement from the Olympic organisers which explained

“For the ‘Festivities’ segment, Thomas Jolly took inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting to create the setting … Clearly, there was never an intention to show disrespect towards any religious group or belief … [Jolly] is not the first artist to make a reference to what is a world-famous work of art. From Andy Warhol to ‘The Simpsons,’ many have done it before him.”

In fact, showing disrespect might be not a bug but a feature of the 2024 Olympic ethos. For politically-correct bureaucrats it is an opportunity to educate not only the bog-stupid billion who will watch but also the athletes themselves.

Former Australian swimmer and Olympic medallist James Magnussen reported that nutrition-obsessed athletes were being shamed into going vegan.

They had a charter that said 60 per cent of food in the village had to be vegan friendly and the day before the opening ceremony they ran out of meat and dairy options in the village because they hadn’t anticipated so many athletes would be choosing the meat and dairy options over the vegan friendly ones.

The caterer had to rejig their numbers and bring in more of those products because surprise, surprise — world class athletes don’t have vegan diets.

“Paris Olympics: Vegan is the way to go as Games Village reduces meat, cheese, dairy products on menu to reduce carbon footprint” was the headline in The Indian Express. The Indian media was ecstatic. The athletes not so much.

An Aussie heavyweight boxer – 6 foot 6, 250-pound – was told that chops were being rationed; he could only have two of them. “He’s come here as a heavyweight, he’ll go home as a middleweight,” joked a Sky News journalist.

To be fair to Tom & Co, Christianity was not the only tradition to be demeaned. La belle France, which gave birth to Joan of Arc, le Roi Soleil, Robespierre, Napoleon, Victor Hugo, Marie Curie, and Coco Chanel, copped a hiding as well.

“We drew on the past of each site and monuments: almost each stone tells something about our history of France, of the history of Paris, a history which is connected to the world,” Jolly said, according to the Financial Times.

Could have fooled me. The proud heritage of France was boiled down like old chicken bones to a decapitated Marie Antoinette and can-can dancers. Maybe, just maybe, the mysterious silver-clad horsewoman looking like a cross between a Nazgul and the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse evoked Joan of Arc. The Da Vinci Code was a better advertisement for France.

M. Jolly is all about egalité – even in the people he insults. Christians shouldn’t feel singled out. The Opening Ceremony was thoroughly post-modernist and PoMo is all about deconstructing traditional values. In that, at least, it was successful.

And now, on with the Games!

Trans Activist Group Pressuring Corporations To Cover Child Sex Change Drugs In Insurance Plans

A transgender activist group is pressuring corporations to provide insurance coverage for child sex change drugs and genital surgeries.

The Humans Rights Campaign (HRC) is an LGBTQ+ activist group that champions pediatric sex change interventions such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and sex change surgeries. Since 2002, the HRC has issued their Corporate Equality Index (CEI) survey, which scores corporations based on their commitment to LGBTQ+ activism and adherence to LGBTQ+ ideology; corporations can score up to 100 points if they fulfill all criteria outlined by the HRC.

The HRC claims the benefits of participating in the CEI survey include gaining positive publicity and attracting top talent, noting that the majority of Fortune 500 companies have participated in the survey. Conversely, receiving a low CEI score can make a company a target of media criticism.

However, HRC recently announced they will be updating their 2026 CEI criteria to require corporations offer insurance coverage for child sex change medications to obtain a top CEI score.

The updated criteria state corporations must offer pharmaceutical coverage for sex changes, specifying this includes “puberty blockers for youth.” Corporations will also have to provide insurance coverage for cross-sex hormones and genital surgeries, as well as offer short-term medical leave to transgender individuals.

Additionally, companies can score 10 of the needed 100 points by offering insurance coverage for at least five other transgender healthcare benefits described as “essential services and treatments.” This list of “essential” services includes hair removal required for reconstructive surgery, tracheal shave/reduction, facial feminization surgeries, voice modification surgery, voice modification therapy and lipoplasty/filling for body masculinization or feminization.

HRC has suspended the CEI score of companies they’ve perceived as faltering in their support of the LGBTQ+ agenda. For example, when Bud Light received pushback over their partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, HRC suspended Anheuser-Busch’s perfect CEI score for not standing by Mulvaney during the controversy, according to the Associated Press.

They’ve also publicly chastised companies attempting to distance themselves from the index.

For instance, Tractor Supply Company, who obtained an almost-perfect CEI score in 2023, recently faced public criticism for engaging in LGBTQ+ activism. After receiving significant pushback, Tractor Supply Company issued a public statement on June 27, 2024, suggesting they were ending their relationship with the HRC and would not be participating in the survey.

HRC responded by launching a petition against Tractor Supply Company which was posted their social media pages and accused the company of “caving to right-wing extremists.”

“Tractor Supply is turning its back on its own neighbors, including LGBTQ+ people, by caving to far-right extremists on social media,” the petition stated. “Tractor Supply’s decision to no longer participate in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index, halt its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts, and desert its carbon emissions goals is only going to hurt customers and families in the communities they call home.”

The CEI is related to the trend of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing, a movement that evaluates companies as targets for investment based on how they align with certain left-wing ideas. Companies with low ESG ratings can be viewed as riskier investments by ESG investors.

In fact, the ESG reports of several Fortune 500 companies such as WalmartAmazon, and Disney explicitly cite the HRC’s index, and the companies’ respective scores. Two major investment firms, Blackrock and Vanguard, obtained perfect CEI scores in 2023.

If companies want to remain appealing to investors by obtaining a perfect CEI in 2026, they will be required to cover insurance coverage for pediatric sex change medications, such as puberty blockers.

Puberty blockers, which are given to children as young as eight years old, can have irreversible effects such as infertility, bone density loss and disruption of brain development.

The harmful impacts of puberty blockers were acknowledged by top child sex change doctors in a series of private educational recordings hosted by the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH). The recordings were part of WPATH’s Global Education summit in September 2022 in Montreal, Canada, and exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation through a public records request.

Several European countries, including England and Scotland, have discontinued treating gender distressed children with puberty blockers citing weak evidence to support their use.

In 2023-2024, 1,384 companies participated in the HRC’s Corporate Equality Index with 595 businesses earning a perfect score by meeting all criteria, according to the “Equality 100” page.”

The HRC recently completed their 2025 CEI survey, according to a copy of the survey on their website. To achieve a perfect score, companies had to have written policies that support employee sex changes, support trans-inclusive restrooms and facilities and offer LGBTQ-inclusive products and services.

The HRC has established LGBTQ+ activism criteria for other domains, including the Healthcare Equality IndexState Equality Index, and Municipal Equality Index.

The Human Rights Campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

EXPOSÉ: Insider Leaks Disney’s Hidden LGBTQ Youth Programs and Children’s Pride Events

EXCLUSIVE: An insider source at Disney has provided OMG with startling internal documents and communications. These documents reveal Disney’s promotion of Pride events for children that involve n*ked men, maps of Disney-sponsored pride parades nationwide, Disney’s covert partnership with “Zebra Youth,” a program supporting LGBTQ youth ages 13-24, and messages about polys*xual virtual hangouts. Disney is desperate to keep these documents and messages hidden. OMG is exposing their ‘secret queer agenda’…

Internal Communications and Systems Reveal Disney’s Extensive LGBTQ Agenda

  • Whistleblowers inside Disney leaked internal Slack Channel to OMG showing employees exchange polyamorous hangouts, gay meetups, and “Name Change” clinics.
  • Disney sponsored a Seattle Pride event for all ages that included naked men.
  • Disney is sponsoring pride parades in numerous cities across America.
  • Disney partners with LGBTQ programs targeting children but does not externally publicize these partnerships.

In “The Disney Tapes: Part 1,” OMG exposed Walt Disney Senior Vice President, Michael Giordano, admitting that Disney discriminates against white men. “The Disney Tapes: Part 2” revealed Walt Disney Television’s Director of Production/Finance, Dave Makker, asserting that only Jewish men get into Disney’s C-Suite. “The Disney Tapes: Part 3” featured Amit “Genie” Gurnani, Disney’s Creative Marketing Director, disclosing that ‘it’s the unspoken thing for children to see LGBTQ content.’

Following these revelations, several Disney employees reached out to OMG with proof of Disney’s central communications hub, “MyDisneyToday.” This includes an employee Slack channel for instant messaging, bulletin boards, and an organizational chart called “Disney Rostr” that allows employees to contact a large Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) team led by Queen Denchukwu. These internal systems indicate that Disney aggressively pushes the LGBTQ agenda that Creative Marketing Director Genie Gurnani previously mentioned.

On one of Disney’s internal Slack channels, #Disney-Pride, employees share documents about polyamorous virtual hangouts, pride nights, gay meetups, queer Zoom backgrounds, gay pride questionnaires, and posters for “Name Change clinics.”

Honi Harrison, Disney’s Mobile Product Operations Manager, promoted a Seattle Pride event on #Disney-Pride, which was openly sponsored by Disney as an all-ages event. Leveraging Disney’s name and reputation to attract families, this Seattle Pride event featured activities such as naked men on bikes.

The #Disney-Pride Slack channel also features maps of Disney-sponsored pride parades across the country, including locations such as Fresno, CA; Washington, DC; Los Angeles, CA; Raleigh, NC; Houston, TX; Seattle, WA; Chicago, IL; New York, NY; San Francisco, CA; Oakland, CA; Orlando, FL; Honolulu, HI; and Orange County/Anaheim, CA.

The systems exposed by courageous whistleblowers reveal that Disney has internal LGBTQ groups such as the Disney PRIDE Business Employee Resource Group (BERG), which introduced the Disney PRIDE Think Tank. This collective of global Disney employees aims to increase LGBTQ representation in content, products, experiences, and services worldwide. Additionally, these systems show that Disney partners with Zebra Youth, a program for LGBTQ children and young adults. While Disney promotes this program internally, it does not appear to publicize the relationship externally.

Following the global directives from organizations like the United Nations and World Economic Forum to “reimagine” capitalism by transitioning from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism, Disney has shifted its focus from creating family-friendly entertainment to attempting to maximize profits by promoting an LGBTQ agenda. In Disney’s pursuit, children are the true victims.

“The Disney Files: Part 2” coming soon…

Deconstructing the ‘Careful Language’ of a Queer Activist on CNN

Once you understand the language the left uses, you discover that many of them are extraordinarily honest. I mean they know well how we will interpret what they say, and that we will interpret it in a way which is destructive to us. But if you know the language of the left, then its actually, lets say, internally honest.

Let’s look at this interview of a Queer activist on CNN:

Notice how the interview subject who is clearly a walking provocation, is careful to always use the word, “Queer”. Not Trans or any of the other terms the CNN useful idiot offers it to respond to. The Pink Provocation nearly corrects her to the word, “Queer”. Pink creature knows full well how the vast vast majority understand the word queer. An older term for homosexual.

Please watch the video below for real clarity.

Queer, is purely a political term. And this video will explain her statements, and appearance.

Unsealed Court Docs Show Top Gender Medical Org Twisting Science For Politics, Colluding With Biden Admin Official

A Biden administration official pressured the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) to quickly issue its Standards of Care Version 8 (SoC 8) guidelines and remove minimum age recommendations for transgender procedures, despite a glaring lack of scientific justification, according to unsealed court documents.

Canadian sex researcher James Cantor wrote in an unsealed expert report that WPATH saw “evidence-based” medicine as a threat to its “policy goals,” allowing its S0C-8 to be influenced by “political pressure, litigation and legislative advocacy strategy, and the financial self-interest of WPATH members.” Internal WPATH communications contained in Cantor’s report reveal Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine pushed for the development of SoC 8 in order to advance the Biden administration’s political goals, even having a staff member suggest the removal of “specific listings of ages” that could “result in devastating legislation for trans care.”

“I have just spoken to Admiral Levine today, who—as always is extremely supportive of the SOC 8, but also very eager for its release—so to ensure integration in the US health policies of the Biden government,” one message from a WPATH member states. “So, let’s crack on with the job!!!”

Another message stated Levine’s eagerness “should be taken as a charge from the United States government to do what is required to complete the project immediately.”

Despite these concessions, internal communications show certain WPATH members responsible for developing the guidelines agreed with concerns that youth were receiving “sloppy” medical care and worried about the strength of their evidence. Additionally, members recognized privately there is “no agreement” on the use of puberty blockers.

“I’m not clear on which ‘agreement regarding the value of blockers’ is required to be espoused by a WPATH member/mentor,” one message states. “My understanding is that a global consensus on ‘puberty blockers’ does not exist.”

Cantor further claims that WPATH did not ask SoC-8 committee members to identify conflicts of interest, even though some members worked as paid expert witnesses in legal cases relating to transgender procedures.

Moreover, one member of the development group later explained during WPATH’s annual conference that minimum age recommendations were removed “to protect clinicians from lawsuit should the clinician decide to provide a treatment to someone younger than a specified age minimum.”

“Again, this reflects both the existence and the harmful impact of the financial conflict of interest that WPATH and its members faced while developing SOC-8,” Cantor wrote.

Cantor’s report is part of a case, Boe v. Marshall, challenging Alabama’s ban on sex change procedures for minors. WPATH released its SoC 8 in September 2022, rolling back prior recommendations that set age limits for various procedures.

The White House, the HHS and WPATH did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
