Senate Republicans Lobbying For Green Energy Tax Credits Raked In Donations From Industry

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Phasing out Biden-era green energy tax credits is dividing Senate Republicans as they push their latest version of the “big beautiful bill,” and some members of the GOP have a financial incentive to keep the credits rolling.

The Senate’s draft represents a substantial cut to the existing climate-friendly energy tax credits, but some Republicans are pursuing a less aggressive rollback than their House counterparts, according to a report from The Hill.

Several GOP senators who oppose a full repeal argue that even the Senate’s scaled-back proposal goes too far in dismantling the clean energy tax credits established under the Biden Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Republican Senators who have voiced concerns or pushed back against a “full-scale” repeal of energy tax credits include Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran, Utah Sen. John Curtis and West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito.

Republican West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, whose state hosts one of the “hydrogen hubs” created under the Biden administration, expressed concern over the bill’s deadline requiring projects to begin construction by the end of the year to qualify for tax credits.

Capito said she’s working to delay that deadline, calling it “a pretty tight timeline,” and adding, “I’m trying to get the date pushed back. I don’t know if I’ll be successful,” according to another report from The Hill.

She has also received $49,200 in campaign contributions from Williams, a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based energy company with significant investments in hydrogen infrastructure during the 2024 election cycle, according to OpenSecrets data.

Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford likewise received $54,500 in contributions from Williams during the same time period.

Capito also took $45,325 during the 2024 election cycle from First Energy, an electric utility that has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

A group of four Republicans — Sens. Murkowski, Curtis, Moran and Tillis — have jointly cautioned against a “full-scale” repeal of the energy tax credits enacted by Democrats in 2022.

In their message, they called for each credit to be assessed based on its potential to boost U.S. manufacturing, lower utility costs — particularly in rural communities — and provide stability for businesses that have already made investments under the current framework.

“The United States produces some of the cleanest and most efficient energy in the world, and an all-of-the-above approach — including support for traditional and renewable energy sources — has long been a hallmark of our energy strategy,” the senators wrote.

“To that end, many American companies have made substantial investments in domestic energy production and infrastructure based on the current energy tax framework. A wholesale repeal, or the termination of certain individual credits, would create uncertainty, jeopardizing capital allocation, long-term project planning, and job creation in the energy sector and across our broader economy,” their letter read.

Tillis, has advocated for a “targeted, pragmatic approach” to the energy tax credits, rather than supporting a full repeal.

He also received hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions during the 2022 and 2024 election cycles — both individually and through political action committees — from major financial institutions including Blackstone Group, Apollo Global Management, Truist Financial and Goldman Sachs, according to OpenSecrets (OS).

The firms have collectively invested millions of dollars in clean energy initiatives and companies in recent years.

Collins received tens of thousands of dollars in contributions during the 2022 and 2024 cycles from Blackstone, Goldman and Nextra Energy, which reports to have 55% of its portfolio invested in renewable energy.

Capito also received tens of thousands of dollars from Blackstone during the 2022 and 2024 election cycles.

OpenSecrets also shows Murkowski received tens of thousands of dollars through PACs or individually over the same two cycles from companies like ConocoPhillips, a company dedicated to be the first in the U.S. oil and gas company to set a goal of reaching net-zero operational emissions.

This follows Capital Group Companies‘ announcement in March that it was committing $30.57 million to fossil fuel investments, including a stake in ConocoPhillips.

Curtis has likewise received $59,700 in contributions during the 2024 election cycle from Sunrun, which markets itself as “the #1 home solar and battery company in America.”

“I think that Senator Crapo did a really good job, but there’s more work to be done,” Curtis told The Hill when asked about the big beautiful bill, referring to the Idaho Republican who chairs the Senate Finance Committee. Curtis offered no further details.

Moran adjacently received $38,500 in campaign contributions during the 2024 election cycle from Kit Bond Strategies Group, according to OpenSecrets records.

The firm actively lobbied on behalf of multiple renewable energy companies throughout that time. 

The draft text of the bill, released Monday by the Senate Finance Committee, maintains credits for nuclear, hydropower, and geothermal energy, and does not immediately eliminate subsidies for solar and wind, disappointing Republicans who sought a more aggressive rollback of Democratic climate policies.

The Daily Caller reached out to Tillis, Murkowski, Curtis, Capito, Moran and Lankford for comment but did not receive a response prior to publication.

Summary of the K-12 Education Situation: Part 1

/in , , , , , , , , /by

The evidence unequivocally indicates that our failing K-12 education system is the single greatest threat that America is facing. Worse is that among the greatest threats we are dealing with, this one is getting the least amount of productive attention.

I feel like Paul Revere, desperately trying to awaken citizens to an extremely serious imminent catastrophe. However, most people have not grasped the severity of this fast-approaching tsunami, so they simply roll over to get a few more winks.

It’s understandable that the public doesn’t get it, as the problem has been presented as an unfixable issue, comprised of dozens of elements.

In my view, solving an important, complicated problem starts with accurately simplifying it. Since this has yet to be done(!), I’m proposing a graphic. (Note: each of the items in the outer circle will be explained in the next commentary.)

In other words, citizens need to appreciate that WHAT our children are being taught (progressive ideology) is the fundamental issue of the K-12 debacle.

We simply MUST stop this anti-American, anti-Science curricula indoctrination — quickly — or nothing else will matter.

The puzzle is that while numerous Left-leaning organizations are actively working to ensure curricula indoctrination — not a single U.S. Conservative organization is focused on neutralizing this propaganda!

If we are going to fix this — and we have no choice about that — then I propose that we go one step beyond just stopping this brainwashing.

Our K-12 school system should switch from primarily teaching children WHAT to think, to instead teaching them primarily HOW to think!

The benefits of this one simple change would be profound:

  1. Being a Critical Thinker would immunize them against the onslaught of Marxist ideology, for life, and
  2. Being a Critical Thinker would dramatically improve almost every other aspect of their life — from their health to their love life (see here).

Good News —

The fabulous news (in this otherwise depressing situation) is that the stars are aligned now to fix this effectively, inexpensively, and relatively quickly.

In my next commentary, I will spell out the details.

In the meantime, please carefully study the graphic.

We need to fully appreciate the profound significance of the curricula. Once that happens, it will be clear that such efforts as school choice (though worthwhile) are not a consequential solution to our defective K-12 system.

Israeli Air Force SUCCESSFULLY Struck the Iranian Nuclear Reactor in Arak, Iran

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The IDF struck key sites tied to Iran’s nuclear weapons and missile programs, including:

  • Inactive nuclear reactor in Arak—a key component in plutonium production
  • A nuclear weapons development site near Natanz
  • Ballistic missile & air defense production facilities
  • Radar systems & missile storage sites

These facilities fuel Iran’s drive for nuclear weapons and its attacks on Israeli civilians.

The IDF will continue operating to eliminate threats and defend the State of Israel.

This nuclear reactor in Arak was created for one purpose: to build a nuclear bomb.

Iran TV: Israel hits Arak heavy water reactor after evacuation warning, ‘no radiation danger’

By Agencies Today, June 19, 2025:

Israel attacked Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor, Iranian state television says.

The report says there was “no radiation danger whatsoever” and that the facility had already been evacuated before the attack.

Israel warned earlier in the morning it would attack the facility and urged the public to flee the area.

The research reactor was partially built, with Tehran informing the UN nuclear watchdog that it planed to begin operating the facility next year.

EXCLUSIVE: We Found Out How Easy It Is To Order An Abortion Pill. The Results Are Shocking.

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

In as little as five minutes, the Daily Caller News Foundation was able to easily order abortion pills opponents argue are unsafe without a doctor adequately verifying key eligibility requirements.

Groups that launched online services after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved mail-order abortions will provide the pill under circumstances that are questionable even by the agency’s relaxed standards, a DCNF investigation found.

“Mail-order abortion subjects women to an abysmal standard of care,” Dr. Christina Francis, CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs (AAPLOG), told the DCNF. “Not only is there minimal health screening that occurs, but women typically have no interaction with any medical professional, let alone a physician.”

The FDA removed in 2021 a requirement that providers distribute mifepristone in person and enabled prescribers to send the pill directly to women in the mail. Now, without speaking to a physician or confirming a pregnancy, a woman can order prescription abortion pills to her home “just in case” she needs them in the future.

Minutes after filling out a brief online form, she’ll have her request approved. Days after payment, the pills will arrive on her doorstep. The package might include a handwritten note saying, “You are brave,” but no doctor will physically be there to warn her that mifepristone is not “safer than tylenol” as its advocates claim or that the danger of complications is likely higher than the drug’s label indicates.

The DCNF obtained five sets of medication for $660 — with sets ranging from $90 to $150 each — simply by filling out online medical forms created by providers.

WATCH:

Three of the five organizations that sent pills to the DCNF — Aid Access, OPTIO Women’s Health and Abuzz Health — use GenBioPro, one of two FDA-approved manufacturers of mifepristone. The fourth, Cambridge Reproductive Health Consultants (CRHC), supplies pills produced by Danco Laboratories, the other approved manufacturer.

The final group, Women on Web, sent pills in a plain manila envelope that did not indicate the drug’s producer. The mailing address on its website is in Toronto, Canada, though the return address on the package was listed as “Supplement City” in Kansas City, Kansas.

The owner of the Kansas property is Jose Franco Guevara, per public records, who owns multiple other buildings in the neighborhood. He faced a federal lawsuit in 2019 for not paying employees overtime compensation at one business he runs in the area, Sabor Latino Restaurant. Guevara agreed to a Consent Order paying the employees money owed to them.

Several other groups listed P.O. boxes as their return address. Aid Access’ package shipped from a California address linked to an individual who works for Honeybee Health, which was the first online pharmacy to begin shipping abortion pills by mail.

Aid Access, OPTIO Women’s Health, Abuzz Health, CRHC, Women on Web and Honeybee Health did not respond to requests for comment. GenBioPro and Danco Laboratories also did not respond to requests for comment.

‘Legal Gray Area’

Though the FDA prescriber agreement form requires being able to “assess the duration” of a pregnancy and “diagnose ectopic pregnancies,” the online pill distributors made no effort to do so.

Advanced provision is a “legal gray area” that exposes the root problem of the FDA’s relaxed regulations, Gabriella McIntyre, legal counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom’s Center for Life, told the DCNF.

“It’s not an FDA-approved use of abortion drugs,” McIntyre told the DCNF. “It’s difficult to see how you get recourse, at least from the FDA’s perspective, unless you reinstitute in-person dispensing, which would resolve the issue of practitioners being able to send these drugs in the mail without verifying things like gestational age or whether the woman is pregnant.”

McIntyre said she is not aware of any litigation related to doctors providing pills for future use.

Groups that supplied pills to the DCNF give instructions for taking the pill long after the 10 week period the FDA approved it for use.

“At 14 weeks, you might see a fetus about the size of a lemon,” Aid Access states. “Seeing a fetus after 14 weeks can be upsetting for some people. It is good to be prepared and have a plan for how to dispose of the fetal tissue.”

OPTIO Women’s Health similarly warns that a fetus at 12 weeks can be “about the size of a lime.” Abuzz indicates the pills can be used through 12+ weeks on its instructions, directing women to a FAQ page for more information, though the bottom of the page includes a caveat that “nothing on this website is to be construed as medical advice.”

“As an OB-GYN practicing in Texas, I have seen firsthand how these recommendations hurt women, because I have cared for many of them in the ER,” Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs at the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI), told the DCNF. “Abortion drugs fail more frequently in higher gestational ages, so off-label use until 13 weeks may often require surgery to remove retained pregnancy tissue and/or the dead baby to prevent serious infection or hemorrhage.”

While the online medical forms these groups ask women to complete vary in length, each one took less than 5 minutes to fill out.

The groups asked only a few basic questions about preexisting health conditions and allergies to misoprostol or mifepristone, along with any history of a caesarean section or ectopic pregnancy. Several providers also asked about gender identity, sexual orientation and preferred  pronouns. Only one of the five websites, Abuzz Health, asked for photo identification.

When the DCNF asked about cost assistance, Aid Access indicated they could not reduce the cost for pills in advance but would help in the future if pills were needed for a current pregnancy. Other groups share similar policies on their website, promising financial assistance to those in immediate need.

However, one group, Abuzz, did provide a discount from the full $150, allowing a minimum payment of $90 for pills in advance.

The quickest deliveries came in just three days. The longest order arrived after 7 days.

An FDA spokesperson did not say whether the specific groups that supplied pills to the DCNF violated their prescriber agreement but noted the Mifepristone Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program is “in place to ensure the safe use of this drug and sets forth specific requirements providers must meet before prescribing this drug, including the ability to date pregnancies accurately and the ability to diagnose ectopic pregnancies.”

Shield Law Practice

After Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, three doctors founded the Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine to promote laws that shield medical professionals in pro-abortion states from penalties for supplying abortion pills in states where it is banned. The organization provides instructions for doctors who want to become a “shield provider” supplying medication abortion in other states, including information on malpractice insurance and establishing an LLC.

One of the group’s co-founders, New York doctor Maggie Carpenter, is facing felony charges in Louisiana for supplying abortion pills to a mother who allegedly ordered them for her minor daughter. Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has said she would not comply with an extradition request to turn Carpenter over to Louisiana authorities.

A Texas court also ordered Carpenter to pay a $100,000 penalty in February for providing pills to residents of the state. Carpenter has worked with Aid Access since 2020, according to her archived bio.

The cases against Carpenter are the first efforts to hold doctors accountable for providing abortion pills across state lines. Several of the organizations that supplied mifepristone to the DCNF operate within states with shield laws.

CRHC operates The Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project (The MAP), which was developed after Massachusetts became the first state to pass a shield law in 2022 protecting doctors who serve patients in other states, where abortion may be illegal.

The CRHC is run by professors primarily from Canada, though one consultant on the team, Dr. Kathryn LaRoche, is an assistant professor of Public Health at Purdue University. CRHC’s website explains that it uses “doctors in Massachusetts to prescribe FDA-approved abortion medication to patients who apply through our website.”

Dr. Angel Foster, one of The MAP’s co-founders, wrote in a March letter to Connecticut state Sen. Gary Winfield that the organization is now supplying medication abortion “to about 2,500 patients a month,” with 95% of patients residing in states with abortion bans.

“[W]e need more states with comprehensive Shield Laws and we need more telemedicine Shield Law providers willing to offer care in all 50 states,” she wrote. “The more providers we have the more we will be able to normalize Shield Law provision and support each other.”

A Safe Choice Network, which partners with OPTIO Women’s Health, indicates on its website that all doctors in the network are licensed to practice in California, which passed a shield law in 2023.

Aid Access’ organization operated abortion “Roe-bots” — robots that dispense the abortion pill — outside the Supreme Court when it heard the case challenging mifepristone in 2024, operating them “remotely from within shield law states.”

Twenty-two states, along with Washington, D.C., now have some form of abortion-related shield laws in place, according to UCLA Law.

‘This Is Not Healthcare’

Nearly 83.5% of abortion-related ER visits that result from taking mifepristone were incorrectly coded as miscarriages between 2016 and 2021, according to a study of Medicaid data by CLI. These miscoded visits were more likely to be severe than those correctly coded.

“These miscoded abortion complications remain invisible to research scientists resulting in a large underestimation of actual medical abortion complications,” the study found.

Skop noted abortion providers who tell women not to disclose they took the abortion pill both reflect “a disregard for women’s well-being” and exacerbate “the already poor-quality abortion data collection in the U.S., further obscuring the frequency of complications from women and the public.”

One in ten women who take the abortion pill will experience a “serious adverse event,” according to an April study of insurance data by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), which is higher than the “less than 0.5 percent” of patients listed on the drug label.

“Across the country, we’ve seen the horrific results of these practices,” Francis told the DCNF. “A teenage girl required emergency care for complications of the abortion drugs after being forced to take them by her mother who obtained them online. Women have died alone at home after attempting to undergo this process without medical supervision. This is not healthcare. It’s negligence.”

Yet statistics published by the groups, as well as anecdotes, confirm women are ordering the pills for future use in record numbers. Some women began stocking up after Trump won the 2024 election.

“I bought 2 rounds of the pills from Women on the web as soon as trump won,” one woman wrote on Reddit. “I have them because we don’t want kids, and I’m afraid we may loose [sic] access in a red state. So it’s well worth having, 2 Year shelf life. Would recommend to anyone who wants to protect their right to abortion access.”

Aid Access received over 5,000 requests for pills in the 12 hours after Trump’s victory was announced, according to The Guardian.

“We’ve never seen this before,” co-founder Rebecca Gomperts told the outlet.

Boycotts, Sell-Offs, and Burned Nikes: What Actually Works Against Woke Corporations

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Patriotic and Bible-believing Americans are tired of being ignored — but are we aiming our firepower in the right direction?

If you’ve ever felt like your righteous anger fizzled into nothing more than a crumpled receipt and an angry tweet… you’re not alone.

First, corporations offend us with some outrageous policy — a rainbow-covered children’s line at Target, a drag queen beer can from Bud Light or a Disney movie that looks more like a lecture than entertainment.

So what do we do?

We rise up. We boycott. We cancel. We organize. We even burn our sneakers.

But then… nothing.

The CEO doesn’t step down. The board doesn’t apologize. The company releases a carefully worded statement about “values” and “dialogue,” and we’re left wondering:

Are we just yelling at brick walls while their stock portfolios continue to grow?

Let’s be honest — the average patriotic American is now three layers deep into frustration:

  1. Frustrated over the woke garbage coming out of corporate America.
  2. Frustrated over how to respond in a way that actually matters.
  3. Frustrated that even our responses seem to have no impact.

But here’s the thing:

Sometimes, boycotts do work.

Sometimes they don’t.

And sometimes… the real pressure point isn’t the consumer — it’s the shareholder.

Let’s talk about that.

Why Boycotts Feel Good — But Often Fizzle

Boycotts are emotional. They’re immediate. And they send a signal.

But they rarely hit the company where it really hurts unless two things happen:

  1. The boycott goes viral, affecting the company’s brand among its core customers.
  2. The backlash spooks investors and tanks the stock price.

If you’ve got both? You’ve got a firestorm.

If not? You’ve got a hashtag.

Take Nike, for instance. When they made Colin Kaepernick the face of their campaign in 2018, millions of Americans were furious. Videos of people burning their Nike socks flooded social media. And Nike? They leaned back and said, “Thanks for the free publicity.”

Sales soared. Stock rebounded. Why? Because their target audience — younger, urban, progressive buyers — loved it. The investors weren’t scared, and Nike walked away laughing.

But when shareholders panic, corporations listen

Take a look at Disney.

They jumped headfirst into every culture war they could find — picking a fight with the state of Florida over transgender ideology in the schools, cramming progressive, gay-grooming messaging into children’s content, and alienating the very families that built the Disney brand.

The result? Not just a boycott.

Disney’s stock tanked by over 50%.

Shareholders panicked.

The CEO, Bob Chapek, was fired.

And guess who they brought back to clean up the mess? Bob Iger, who immediately (at least in words) announced Mickey Mouse would be backing off the culture war stance and refocusing on “core storytelling.”

Why? Because investors lost faith in the leadership. And when investors lose faith, heads roll.

But What About Bud Light?

Ah, yes — the beer that broke the internet.

When Bud Light partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, they probably thought it was a harmless, “inclusive” marketing stunt.

Instead, they lost billions in market value, became a cultural punchline, and saw their sales collapse so badly that bars stopped stocking them altogether. Even their delivery drivers were begging stores not to drop them.

The backlash hit both the consumer base and the shareholders.

That’s the holy grail of pressure. And Bud Light is still trying to recover.

So, what works and what doesn’t?

  • Boycotts Alone? Sometimes. But only if they’re big, loud, and sustained.
  • Shareholder Sell-Offs? Often. Because sell-offs directly affect stock price & leadership.
  • Social Media Campaigns? Rarely, because they’re too easy to ignore.
  • Targeted Investment Pressure? High, especially when activist investors can force board action.

So What Should We Do?

Here’s where the frustration turns into strategy.

If you’re a Bible-believing, America-loving patriot who’s tired of woke corporations stomping on your values, you need to think like a tactician, not just a protester. You have the power to make a difference.

Yes, boycott.

Yes, speak up.

But also — consider pressuring those with money.

Write to major institutional shareholders.

Start campaigns that target investors, not just customers.

Expose how companies are losing their audience and damaging long-term profitability.

And don’t just shout — document, report, and repeat.

Jesus flipped the tables of the money changers.

Perhaps it’s time we took a few more steps — not just by boycotting beer or canceling a Disney subscription, but by holding corporations accountable with financial transparency and focused scrutiny.

And we’ve already seen it work, by just one man.

Enter Robby Starbuck.

Robby Starbuck is a former Hollywood music video director turned conservative activist, political commentator, and defender of traditional values. After walking away from the entertainment industry, he began using his media savvy to expose the radical agendas creeping into corporations, classrooms, and culture.

When Target, Bud Light, North Face, Kohl’s, and others began aggressively pushing gender ideology on children and celebrating radical LGBTQ messaging, Robby Starbuck didn’t just rant about it on Twitter (though, yes, he did that, too).

  • He connected the dots for consumers and shareholders alike:
  • He posted data showing stock drops in real-time
  • He called out corporate leaders by name
  • He rallied consumers with clear messaging: “This is not just about politics — this is about your children.”

And critically, he encouraged investors and retirement fund holders to speak out and reconsider where their money was going.

It worked.

His public pressure campaigns helped create the perfect storm: massive consumer backlash, stock sell-offs, media coverage, and a chilling effect on other corporations considering similar actions.

Some brands quietly pulled merchandise.

Others scrubbed campaigns.

Many stopped commenting altogether.

Robby didn’t act alone — but he showed what happens when activists stop just reacting emotionally and start organizing strategically. His success should inspire us all to do the same.

The Takeaway

You don’t need to be a billionaire or own 100,000 shares of stock to make a difference. You just need to know where the pressure points are — and aim accordingly.

So yes — keep boycotting.

But don’t stop there.

Follow the money. Find the leverage. Flip the tables.

Because when the investors get nervous, the corporations finally listen.

If you found this helpful, share it with others who care about reclaiming our culture from woke corporations.

Supreme Court Greenlights Tennessee’s Ban On Sex-Change Procedures For Kids

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The Supreme Court upheld Tennessee’s law banning child sex change procedures on Wednesday.

In a 6-3 ruling, the court held that Tennessee’s law does not violate the Equal Protection clause.

“This case carries with it the weight of fierce scientific and policy debates about the safety, efficacy, and propriety of medical treatments in an evolving field,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. “The voices in these debates raise sincere concerns; the implications for all are profound. The Equal Protection Clause does not resolve these disagreements.”

“Having concluded it does not, we leave questions regarding its policy to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process,” Roberts continued.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.

“[The majority] also authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children and the parents and families who love them,” Sotomayor wrote.

Sotomayor wrote that those searching for evidence of transgender discrimination “need look no further than the present,” referencing several policies implemented by the Trump administration.

“The Federal Government, for example, has started expelling transgender servicemembers from the military and threatening to withdraw funding from schools and nonprofits that espouse support for transgender individuals,” she wrote.

Tennessee passed its law, which restricts minors from receiving medical treatments intended to help them live as an identity “inconsistent” with their sex, in 2023. The Biden administration challenged the law as a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.

Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) changed its position on the case in February but urged the Supreme Court to move forward with issuing a ruling.

Trump signed an executive order in January cutting federal funding for child sex changes, where he called the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) “junk science” and banned federal agencies from citing its guidance. The Biden administration relied on WPATH standards in its briefs filed before the court.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

Did You Know the Head of the American Federation of Teacher’s Union is a Childless Lesbian?

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Did you know the head of the American Federation of Teacher’s Union Randi Weingarten is a childless lesbian and leftist supporter of the “No Kings” movement?

Is there any wonder why the LGBTQ+ agenda has been so prevalent in public education where indoctrination seems more important than education?

At a SB meeting I attended and spoke, Lisa Miller made a statement that people attending SB meetings who have no children in PCPS should not be allowed to speak at SB meetings apparently completely forgetting that many are property owners and pay the taxes that pay for PCPS and her salary as a SB member. She later tried to walk this back. Did you also know that SB member Kay Fields speaking in support of LGBTQ+Pride Proclamation (which Miller also supported) stated that she saw approving this as her “pathway to heaven”. Fortunately, the Proclamation failed. Remember this when they both run for SB again in 2026.

What Miller and Fields should have said is that a childless lesbian woman should not be the head ot the American Federation of Teachers union.

Democratic Party’s collapse continues: Teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten ditches DNC after 23 years

Lee Saunders, president of the AFSCME, also is saying sayonara to his post at the conflict-consumed DNC.

The Democratic Party is deeply unpopular, at odds with most of the electorate on several key issues, estranged from the working class, and roiled by infighting. It’s becoming increasingly clear from recent personnel changes that hatred for President Donald Trump is not enough to hold the party together.

American Federation of Teachers boss Randi Weingarten, the childless leftist who helped undermine the mental and physical health of a generation of kids by fighting to keep them out of the classroom during the pandemic, has announced that she is leaving the Democratic National Committee.

Like David Hogg — the gun-grab activist who announced Wednesday that he was not running again for the DNC vice chair position seemingly stolen from him by Democratic election deniers — Weingarten appears to have an issue with DNC Chairman Ken Martin and the current state of play within the party.

Weeks before her hysterical speech at the No Kings rally in Philadelphia, Weingarten noted in a June 5 letter to Martin obtained by Politico that she is honored to have served as an at-large member of the DNC since 2002, on its rules and bylaws committee for the past 15 years, and as a delegate to each of the Democratic conventions for the past three decades.

“While I am proud to be a Democrat, I appear to be out of step with the leadership you are forging, and I do not want to be the one who keeps questioning why we are not enlarging our tent and actively trying to engage more and more of our communities,” wrote the lesbian union boss, who collects an annual salary of well over $450,000.

Two Amazing Birds — Critically Thinking about some phenomenas in nature…

/in , , , /by

I’m an outdoors person, which is one reason that I’m a Big Fan of the NYS Adirondacks (see this great short video). That said, I’m not an ornithologist, so (like most people) I do not pay sufficient attention to some amazing things going on right under our noses. Here are two simple examples…

Northern Mockingbird —

Every Spring, a mockingbird comes to make a nest in the shrubbery right outside my NC coastal “office.” (This is our enclosed porch overlooking the Newport River, as I like water views.)

The mockingbird is pretty, and flies back and forth putting its nest together. Every so often, it takes a break and finds a comfortable perch to look over its handiwork. That’s when something startling happens — it starts to sing.

Almost all birds have one type of sound they make. For example, a crow does something like “Caw, Caw”. Not the mockingbird! It starts out with a melodic sound (like Chee, Chee, Chee). Then it makes a completely different sound. Then a third. Then a fourth. Then a fifth. Then a sixth! All of these are VERY different from each other. Here is a short video that gives some idea…

If that wasn’t enough, these birds actually have the ability to mimic other sounds like a car alarm, construction noise, some human sounds, etc… Here’s a good explanation of why they do all this…

Blackpoll Warbler —

Here is Audubon’s info page on this fascinating bird. This is a better text explanation. What it says, in part:

Monarch butterflies spend generations migrating across the entire North American continent, and humpback whales log as many as 3,000 miles a month as they go between Alaska and Hawaii. But as impressive as they are, these charismatic critters have nothing on the Blackpoll Warbler—an unassuming bird with one of the most ambitious migration routes on the planet.

This warbler may not be much to look at—its striking bright white-and-black pattern is dulled by the olives, grays, and yellows that make up its fall and winter plumage. The bird is also lighter than an empty soda can—an average adult weighs in at just 12 grams. But new research confirms that these small creatures undertake one of the longest and most impressive migrations of the animal kingdom.

These birds take migrating to an extreme: Once they leave their breeding areas, they fly continuously for three days straight over the Atlantic Ocean before having a chance to stop in Colombia or Venezuela… To make the trek, the birds nearly double their weight before their non-stop flight.

The tiny songbirds fly over the western Atlantic, wings buzzing at 20 flaps a second. They ultimately make landfall (some three to four days later, after a 2000± mile nonstop flight) after roughly 3± million wing-flaps!

All this is done with no stops for rest, no stops for food, no stops for water…

Simply amazing!

Here is a short video about them:

Every so often it’s a good idea to take a break from our busy lives and sit back and smell the roses — and watch (and listen to) some birds…

Critically Thinking about Water Filters

/in , , , , , , , /by

A major health matter that we often don’t satisfactorily consider… 

Sufficient clean water is arguably the single most important necessity for good health. That said, we often do not give this adequate attention.

For example, most people buy water filters (e.g., for their refrigerator). We are drinking everything that comes through that filter. But where is it made and what quality control does it have?

If you look for water filters at Amazon, Walmart, etc., the lowest-priced options are almost all made in China. I have nothing against Chinese products in general, but it is legitimate to ask: 1) exactly what materials are in this filter, and 2) what quality controls are there assuring us that it works properly?

In my experience — as a scientist and as an individual who has been involved with water quality issues for many years — the typical answer to both of those questions for Chinesew filters is: we do not know.

Considering the potential impact on you and your family of drinking gallons of questionably filtered water, IMO, a good filter is not something where it makes sense to get the cheapest product.

I tried this Internet search, “What is the quality of water filters made in China?” but nothing relevant came up. Noteworthy is that most of the articles that did appear seemed to be of Chinese origin, promoting Chinese filters.

Two sites that list American-made water filters are here and here. Although these will be somewhat more expensive, you have a much higher assurance that you are getting a quality product.

My comments so far have been about filtering generally good water. If you have local water with specialized contaminants (e.g., PFAS), then you need specialized filters (e.g., here).

Buying Water —

Buying filtered water is a related topic, and has become an everyday affair for almost all of us. But here’s a question that you rarely see discussed — is it better to buy: 1) pre-packaged water, or 2) water from a vending machine?

Pre-packaged water would be in gallon to pint-sized plastic containers — readily available almost everywhere. The attraction is convenience. The main downsides are: a) cost, b) unknown filtration, and c) plastic pollution in landfills and elsewhere.

Buying vending machine water is a popular alternative. The attractions are: a) much lower cost ($2± vs 50¢± per gal), b) high quality filtration, and c) zero plastic pollution. The downside is convenience. For the significant positive benefits, 95% of the time when we buy water, we use a vending machine.

We solve the convenience issue by filling up several gallon containers ahead of time, so that we have a supply on hand. If we are going for a walk and want an 8 oz container, we fill a reusable one up from our supply and are good to go. Yes, this requires a bit of planning (horrors!), but the benefits are large.

The Bottom Line —

After the COVID fiasco, many of us are more attuned to the monumental importance of having good health. Any serious health plan for you and your family MUST include close attention to drinking water and its filtration.

The Sesame Street Seduction

/in , , , , , , , , /by

No stranger has ever seduced a child with spinach. Predators understand that seducing a child requires offering something the child wants or providing something that engages the child. So it is with educational seduction.

Preschool educational television program Sesame Street, originally created to help young children from low-income families prepare for school and stimulate their desire to learn, first aired in November 1969. The show was spectacularly successful with children from all socio-economic backgrounds across America, who watched their beloved Muppet characters, and learned letters, numbers, geometric forms, classification, ordering, problem-solving, and social interactions. Sesame Street revolutionized children’s programming and proved that children could learn through visual media. Edutainment, a new genre in television programming was born.

After decades of success teaching foundational skills in reading and mathematics, and helping children learn through music, iconic characters, and repetition, Sesame Street at 55 years old is no longer recognizable––Sesame Street has gone woke. The astonishing educational success of Sesame Street made it a prime-time target for those who understood how easily the programming could be repurposed and used for anti-American, anti-family woke indoctrination. Education is a dual-use industry, and the fall of Sesame Street represents the capture of the American education industry at the pre-school level. Sesame Street is now a favored edutainment weapon of the globalist War on America that targets our nation’s youngest children.

Globalist Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) articulated the power of educational indoctrination. “Chapter 15, Obama’s Grand Plan: Fundamental Transformation” from my 2022 release The Collapsing American Family: From Bonding to Bondage, further explains how educational indoctrination is the long-range tactical strategy for globalism’s strategic goal to rule the world:

The value of educational propaganda in the globalist campaign is described in chilling detail by English aristocrat Lord Bertrand Russell in his 1953 classic, The Impact of Science on Society.81 Educational indoctrination is the primary instrument for eliminating objective reality, dismissing the American family, subverting American culture, and destroying America from within. Russell unapologetically explained the process that drives a society to madness:

It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment.

Education should aim at destroying free will so that pupils thus schooled, will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished. . . . Influences of the home are obstructive; not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten; in order to condition students, verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. . . . It is for a future scientist to make these maxims precise and to discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for more than one generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen. (pp. 27–28, Routledge Classics, 2016 edition)

Russell echoed Lenin’s statement: “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

John Dewey (1859-1952) considered to be the Father of American Education, was an unapologetic globalist who advanced Russell’s elitist position that the purpose of education is social engineering with the goal of establishing a new social order. Dewey considered education a social process, and the school a social institution where social reform should take place. His formula eliminates the development of critical-thinking skills in children. Without critical-thinking skills, individuals are easily manipulated and indoctrinated; like children, they simply accept what they are told.

“Chapter 6, John Dewey: The Father of Weaponized Education in America” also from my 2022 release The Collapsing American Family: From Bonding to Bondage, exposes how education is a dual-use industry that can be exploited for political gain.

Dewey’s influence on American education is unprecedented. His progressive educational reform movement remains the foundation of American education. Its anti-American political goals have been wildly successful in transforming American education from a source of American strength and prosperity to a weapon of mass American destruction.

History validates Dewey’s deception and its value as a weapon in the war on America. The coda16 to education reformer Bruce Deitrick Price’s October 1, 2012, American Thinker article, “John Dewey is a Fraud'” exposes Dewey’s arrogant and deceitful scheme for social engineering:

John Dewey, the world-famous educator, was retained circa 1920 by the new [Vladimir Lenin] Russian government to advise on the implementation of his progressive ideas throughout the USSR. Circa 1932, the communist government realized that Dewey’s progressive education had created a generation of ignorant delinquents. The communists in Russia banished Dewey’s ideas from their country. Meanwhile, the communists et al in the United States celebrated Dewey and his policies.

The globalists embraced both the communists and John Dewey and continue to exploit Dewey’s progressive ideas to weaponize education against America in order to collapse America from within. Sesame Street is now an active participant in the captured and weaponized American education industry, designed to break down traditional American values and replace them with communism. It is essential for the reader to recognize that Marxism, socialism, and even the word democracy as written by Karl Marx, are all synonyms for communism. Why do the globalists want communism? Because communism rejects individualism, embraces collectivism, and provides the top-down binary socio-political infrastructure required for the globalist Unistate.

Five of the forty-five communist goals listed by W. Cleon Skousen in his 1958 book, The Naked Communist are of particular interest:

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

The deceitful tactic the globalists have chosen for introducing communism in the Sesame Street seduction, is multiculturalism. This is how it works.

In June 2025, with the gentle and inclusive words, “On our street, everyone is welcome. Together, let’s build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are,” Sesame Street honored LGBT Pride Month. One might even think that recognizing LGBT Pride Month with its LGBT poster of the multicolored Muppet characters’ arms and hands clasped in the formation of the LGBT flag would be sufficient. But you would be wrong. Sesame Street is seducing your children with lovable characters and verses set to music and repeatedly intoned and grooming them to become woke citizens of the globalist Unistate. Homosexuality is presented to preschoolers as a cultural variation that demands multicultural acceptance.

Consider this disturbing report published June 3, 2025, on LifeSiteNews, “Sesame Street ‘Pride Month’ posts reinforce Republican legislators’ push to defund PBS“:

“PBS is grooming children on American taxpayers’ dime. This is unacceptable. Congress must defund them and hold the executives accountable,” added Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona. Republican U.S. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and the House Republican Study Committee (RSC) issued similar denunciations.

A staple of children’s edutainment programing multiple generations of Americans have grown up with, Sesame Street and its current creators have for years hijacked the beloved property to feed impressionable children the social agenda of adult liberals, from introducing a same-sex couple with a child to teach preschoolers that “families come in all forms” to vaccinating Elmo to promote COVID-19 shots.

Last month [May 2025], President Donald Trump signed an executive order to cut federal funding to PBS and National Public Radio (NPR), though it has been challenged in court. On Tuesday, the White House submitted to Congress a rescission package requesting it codify the elimination of $9.4 billion for PBS, NPR, and foreign aid.

The social engineering on Sesame Street is not a new phenomenon introduced in 2025, and neither are the debates about what should and should not be included in its programming. On November 15, 2019, USA TODAY published an opinion piece by Naomi Moland titled “After 50 years, it’s past time to bring human LGBTQ+ characters to America’s Sesame Street.” Moland, a faculty member at the School of International Service at American University, is in a same-sex marriage. She advocates making homosexuality familiar and normalizing same-sex marriage so that children perceive same-sex marriage as a marriage like any other. Interestingly, in the article she reports that Sesame Street is viewed in 150 countries, acknowledges that Muppets are not sexual, they are puppets, and that making them sexual might hurt Sesame Street’s standing around the world:

Sesame Workshop needs to find a way to include gay characters on the American version of the program without jeopardizing its international programming. Just like it has “localized” the program to children’s needs in other countries, the American Sesame Street should reflect American culture by including openly LGBTQ+ human characters. Other international versions, which are co-created by Americans and local producers, will need to decide how to handle the issue in their own countries. …It is surprising that the American Sesame Street has avoided talking about gay families. Since the program’s inception, it has celebrated all kinds of families: interracial families; single parents; military families; families with an incarcerated parent; and families struggling with addiction. In the U.S., where gay marriage is legal nationwide and 61% of Americans approve of gay marriage, presenting an LGBTQ+ family is a logical next step (perhaps overdue) in Sesame’s celebration of diverse families. …

In the meantime, Sesame Workshop needs to bring LGBTQ+ human characters onto Sesame Street. The creators would be following their own localization policies by tailoring the American program to address American culture, which is certainly ready to celebrate — and debate — a human LGBTQ+ family. But big parts of our planet aren’t. We need to respect their cultures, too, if we want Bert, Ernie and Sesame Street to remain on the world’s airwaves.

The shocking assumption intrinsic in Moland’s self-serving op-ed is that Americans want progressive cultural changes that accept homosexual marriage as a marriage like any other. First, Moland’s progressive ideas require definition. What does progressive education actually mean? Progress toward what?? Most Americans use the word progressive in its colloquial sense to mean advancing toward something embraced by traditional American culture. John Dewey, however, makes it very clear that progressive education is designed to replace America and traditional American culture with a globalist new world order. The extraordinary success of Dewey’s progressive educational indoctrination is apparent in the 61% approval statistic Moland cites above. The article begins and ends with these words:

In Pew Research Center polling in 2004, Americans opposed same-sex marriage by a margin of 60% to 31%. …Support for same-sex marriage has steadily grown over the past 15 years. And today, support for same-sex marriage remains near its highest point since Pew Research Center began polling on this issue. Based on polling in 2019, a majority of Americans (61%) support same-sex marriage, while 31% oppose it.The increase in the share of adults who favor same-sex marriage over the past 15 years is due in part to generational change. Younger generations express higher levels of support for same-sex marriage.

Similarly, progressive education seeks to redefine the word family. Operating on the principle that familiarity brings acceptance, on June 16, 2021, Sesame Street introduced the first married same-sex couple and their daughter to be recurring characters in an episode titled “Family Day.” The introduction of a same-sex couple designed to familiarize preschoolers with same-sex couples was reviewed on June 22, 2021 in a LifeSiteNews article titled “Sesame Street introduces ‘married’ dads in ‘Family Day’ propaganda episode“:

In yet another display of LGBT cultural aggression, long-running children’s program Sesame Street has introduced a same-sex couple with a child to teach preschoolers that “families come in all forms. …”

The concerted effort to infuse children’s shows with LGBT characters and messages appears intended to, at a minimum, force families into discussions for which parents may feel their children are too young, as well as set up conflicts between the shows’ feel-good presentation of controversial issues and parents’ own values.

This is “grooming, plain and simple,” The Federalist’s Joy Pullmann wrote in response to Blue’s Clues’ recent “pride” parade segment. “It is training children to be comfortable with things they should be uncomfortable with and remain unexposed to until puberty and following, for their own well-being. To allege otherwise is gaslighting.”

Lessons about families from different cultures, different countries, different races, and different religions are very different than lessons about same-sex couples, same-sex marriage, and same-sex families. The insidious campaign to sexualize children is an unacceptable intrusion into family life and assault on parental authority, that is reflected in progressive education’s campaign to sexualize Muppets on Sesame Street, and inappropriately introduce sexual concepts to children who are far too young.

From Lenin to Russell to Dewey to Sesame Street, the communist intrusion into American education has gotten younger and younger. Sesame Street’s woke communist edutainment advances communist goals 24, 25, 26, 40, and 41, dramatizing that before the age of ten; in order to condition students, verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. The Sesame Street seduction is social engineering on a pre-school level that manifests Lenin’s statement: “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

The communist goal has always been to eliminate parental authority and substitute the authority of the state––and its unseemly 21st-century partner is Sesame Street. There is nothing innocent or compassionate about the Sesame Street seduction that tactically exploits homosexuality as multiculturalism, in order to effect communist goals 24, 25, 26, 40, and 41.

Unanimous SCOTUS Ruling Sets Back the White-Collar Rainbow Revolution

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

In a 9-0 decision in Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services authored by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, justices ruled that employers cannot discriminate against a heterosexual woman and unelected judges cannot insert intersectionality into the law. A unanimous Supreme Court opinion rarely brings good news, but justices recently issued a ruling that set back judicial activism, stopped the Left’s tactic of promoting the social revolution at your expense, and exposed the inner workings of the white-collar rainbow revolution.

The plaintiff, Marlean Ames, dedicated her life to eliminating the prison rape of minors. In 2004, she started working for the Ohio Department of Youth — which oversees the state’s incarcerated juvenile population — and in 2014, Ames got promoted to become administrator of PREA: the Prison Rape Elimination Act. “In 2017, Ames was assigned a new supervisor, Ginine Trim, who is gay,” noted the Sixth Circuit’s opinion. Trim’s December 2018 performance evaluation shows Ames met competencies in 10 categories and exceeded in one. But somehow, just four months later, qualified-to-overqualified no longer sufficed.

In April 2019, Ames applied to become Bureau Chief of Quality. After the interview, “Trim congratulated Ames on 30 years of public service, but also suggested that Ames retire,” noted the Sixth Circuit. Activists aim to remake their departments through attrition: Let the old lions emit a final, toothless roar into the sunset while replacing them with young social justice warriors who will bend the arc of history toward radicalism. The department hired “Alexander Stojsavljevic, a 25-year-old gay man, for the position of PREA Administrator. … Later, in December 2019, the Department chose Yolanda Frierson, a gay woman, as its Bureau Chief of Quality.” Frierson had not originally applied for the position and did not have a college degree; Stojsavljevic had only been on the job a few years.

They gave Ames the option of taking her old job as executive secretary, cutting her salary from $47.22 an hour to $28.40. Ames accepted the job. She sued but lost at the district and appellate level. The appeals court admitted, “Ames is right that the Department has offered different reasons for her demotion at different times,” settling on the story that “her position was at-will and that it could remove her at any time without cause.”

Although the facts seem squarely on Ames’s side, the court sided against her, because she did not fulfill the “background circumstances” rule: a legal standard the court invented stating that members of a “majority group” had to meet a higher standard to prove discrimination. Justices struck down that legal fiction. “The Sixth Circuit has implemented a rule that requires certain Title VII plaintiffs — those who are members of majority groups — to satisfy a heightened evidentiary standard in order to carry their burden under the first step of the McDonnell Douglas framework. We conclude that Title VII does not impose such a heightened standard on majority-group plaintiffs,” wrote Justice Jackson. The decision does not settle the underlying issue: In a return to the Roberts court’s narrow decisions, it merely remands the case with instructions to use the prima facie legal standard.

The welcome ruling reinstates the notion behind the deeply American principle of equal justice under law, itself drawn from the biblical injunction that judges ought not be a respecter of persons. This furthers President Donald Trump’s second-term commitment to undoing discrimination against the nation’s majority in the name of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). To its credit, the Roberts court has shown leadership here, too.

As important as the facts of the case are its setting. Ohio, long the bellwether of American politics, rejects DEI. When the U.K.’s Guardian started a letter-writing campaign for Europeans to pressure Ohioans into voting for Democrat John Kerry over George W. Bush, values voters in rural, western Ohio turned out to support a state constitutional amendment barring the courts from redefining the institution of marriage (or so they thought).

Today, Ohio is a blood-red state. President Donald Trump, perhaps aided by native son Vice President J.D. Vance, won the state by 11 points in 2024; but he also won by eight points in 2020, snapping the state’s reputation for picking a winner in every presidential race. Every statewide office is held by a Republican; it has not voted for a Democrat for president since 2012. Other than the hapless administration of Ted Strickland, shortly after incumbent Republican Bob Taft entered a “no contest” plea to four misdemeanor ethics violations, no Democrat has won a governor’s race since 1986.

Yet those governors have not delivered. Mike DeWine — a former lieutenant governor, U.S. senator, state attorney general, and now governor — vetoed the state SAFE Act, protecting minors from potentially sterilizing transgender injections and surgeries. While he issued an executive order on the topic, he promptly watered down even those temporary provisions. The Republican-controlled state legislature promptly overrode his veto, codifying robust protections for children — just as Ames tried to do throughout her career.

Ohioans have expressed their will for three decades at the ballot box. Meanwhile, unelected bureaucrats advance their radicalism through the HR department by adopting a prescription offered by Saul Alinsky in “Rules for Radicals:”

“From the moment the organizer enters a community he lives, dreams, eats, breathes, sleeps only one thing and that is to build the mass power base of what he calls the army. Until he has developed that mass power base, he confronts no major issues. He has nothing with which to confront anything. Until he has those means and power instruments, his ‘tactics’ are very different from power tactics. Therefore, every move revolves around one central point: how many recruits will this bring into the organization, whether by means of local organizations, churches, service groups, labor unions, comer gangs, or as individuals. The only issue is, how will this increase the strength of the organization. If by losing in a certain action he can get more members than by winning, then victory lies in losing and he will lose. Change comes from power, and power comes from organization. In order to act, people must get together. Power is the reason for being of organizations.”

Alinksy even likened these left-wing fiefdoms to a church:

“When people agree on certain religious ideas and want the power to propagate their faith, they organize and call it a church. When people agree on certain political ideas and want the power to put them into practice, they organize and call it a political party. The same reason holds across the board. Power and organization are one and the same.”

One hears echoes of this in teachers union president Becky Pringle when she called on her delegates to “build our power” by enrolling everyone “in our righteous cause.” From teachers, to librarians, to HR departments, to district court judges handing down national injunctions, leftists see the workplace as a political battlefield — or, if you believe Alinsky, the mission field to spread a false religion. The Supreme Court decision comes as welcome relief.

EXCLUSIVE: Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers Still Awaiting Justice 3 Years After Firebombing, Vandalism Spree

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The FBI has yet to solve at least five cases it opened into arson attacks targeting pro-life pregnancy centers in 2022, according to an investigation by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Biden FBI offered cash rewards in 2022 for information on suspects responsible for firebombings around the country, mainly directed at pro-life facilities, after the preemptive May 2 leak of a Supreme Court ruling that overturned the abortion precedent established by Roe v. Wade. Five local FBI field offices told the DCNF that the bureau is still offering the incentive for cases in Colorado, North Carolina, Washington state, Oregon and New York, indicating suspects were never found or convicted.

The FBI’s Seattle field office told the DCNF that it’s typical for the bureau to update or delete the bulletins asking the public for information if suspects are caught, and if they’re on the website, the FBI is still looking for answers. The FBI’s national press office did not respond to a request for comment.

‘Enforce The Law Equally’

One targeted facility’s CEO, Jim Harden, told the DCNF he got a phone call from an employee around two in the morning on June 7, 2022, that changed his life. The Amherst, New York, building that was home to his organization CompassCare was set ablaze in what was eventually determined to be arson. The FBI released footage showing what it said were two suspects arriving in a car at night and throwing Molotov cocktails at the building.

Harden’s team had been on high alert that summer, having already contacted the FBI over concerns about a heightened risk of violence. Soon after the fire, he moved with his wife and children to flee an onslaught of threats against them as extremists lashed out at CompassCare, a Christian nonprofit providing free medical care to pregnant mothers to steer them away from abortion.

“Our lives are very different now,” he said in an interview with the DCNF. “We had to relocate our family … we had people riding past our house pointing guns at our kids.”

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said in April that there were more than 200 cases of pregnancy resource centers “violently attacked by activists with no action by law enforcement, federal or state” in the past several years. Family Research Council documented almost 50 instances of vandalism and other attacks on pregnancy centers and pro-life organization buildings from May through June 2022.

“I can say we are taking them seriously now and will be for the duration,” Dhillon told the DCNF about such cases. Dillon declined to comment about any specific prosecutions that may be ongoing or forthcoming.

“This Department of Justice is committed to protecting crisis pregnancy centers, pro-life organizations and places of worship from targeted acts of violence and will work to ensure justice is served to criminals who engage in this unlawful behavior,” a DOJ spokesperson said in response to questions about the unsolved cases.

The spree of violence even resulted in arson at a Portland pregnancy center run by a self-professed pro-choice woman in July 2022. As in the five cases involving pro-life groups, the FBI told the DCNF it is still offering a reward for information. The Dobbs opinion leak, which was investigated but never solved, also inspired an assassination attempt on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh near his home.

The Portland facility did not respond to multiple requests for comment. The other pregnancy centers with unsolved cases in Longmont, Colorado and Portland did not respond to multiple requests for comment, while one in Seattle declined to comment.

Harden, the CompassCare CEO, said the pro-abortion Biden administration seemed apathetic about solving the cases, despite the FBI interviewing him about the Amherst bombing. He recalled reaching out and asking urgently for updates, leading to a moment when he said an FBI agent “was screaming” over the phone that the bureau was not required to update him.

“Their job was to enforce the law equally,  and it did not appear as if they were doing so,” Harden said.

‘Mountain Of Evidence’

While announcements about pro-abortion vandalism cases were scarce, the Biden administration boasted in press releases about several prosecutions of pro-life activists under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for protesting at abortion clinics. On his first week in office, President Donald Trump pardoned nearly two dozen pro-lifers accused of federal crimes.

Former Attorney General Merrick Garland explained the discrepancy in March 2023 by telling Congress that “it is quite easy” to identify and charge pro-lifers protesting in daylight.

“Those who are attacking the pregnancy resources centers, which is a hard thing to do, are doing this at night in the dark,” Garland said.

Harden did not — and does not — buy Garland’s explanation whatsoever.

“There’s a mountain of evidence,” Harden said of the vandals, noting that the authorities can search for license plate numbers, body mechanic imagery and cell phone IP addresses. “It’s just not possible they don’t know who they are. The FBI [is] the most technically advanced law enforcement agency on the planet.”

Some attacks on pro-life centers in 2022 were linked to a leftist group called Jane’s Revenge, with activists posting online threats in response to news about the leaked Dobbs decision. The FBI said the CompassCare vandals left the spray-painted message, “Jane was here.”

Harden told the DCNF his Amherst building was repaired at “miraculous” speed in 52 days thanks in part to volunteer workers, but the damage cost millions of dollars.

The attack inspired Harden to become more outspoken about political issues via media interviews. He also launched a campaign on a pro-life platform to fill Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik’s House seat in a New York special election. Stefanik announced she would remain in her role in April after Trump pulled her nomination to represent the U.S. in the United Nations.

‘Heart Problem’

Paula McSwain, executive director of the Crisis Pregnancy Center in Lincolnton, North Carolina, told the DCNF she received a letter from the FBI in August 2024 saying its investigation into arson at her building in June 2022 was closed. Surveillance footage showed someone at nighttime throwing what the FBI said was a Molotov cocktail.

The Lincolnton case is one of several for which the FBI is still offering a reward for information on any suspects, according to the bureau’s Charlotte field office.

McSwain said she was fortunate enough to get the pregnancy center up and running fairly easily.

“If they wanted to destroy the building, they could have done a better job,” McSwain told the DCNF.

The pro-life leader decided to respond to her ordeal by limiting public outcry.

“That’s what they were seeking, was attention,” McSwain said of the vandals.

Harden and McSwain said that if they could give any message to their attackers, it would be one of forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

“If you throw fire at any building, you’ve got a heart problem and there’s something not right with your life … We don’t seek revenge, we just pray for them,” McSwain said.

“The only reason I can forgive you is because forgiveness has been made available to me, and so I would encourage you to come out of the darkness and into the light,” Harden said his words to the criminals would be.

“Nothing is going to go unpunished if it’s sin,” Harden said.

Meet the Companies Helping to Trans Kids and Hide It from Parents

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

It’s been a while since Americans could actually sit back and enjoy June. Now, instead of bumping into rainbows in every aisle and choking on the colored logos of every conceivable brand, there’s some freedom from the suffocating fumes of Pride Month. In these last two years, the march to pull companies back to neutral has outperformed everyone’s expectations. But in this process of rolling back decades of corporate wokeism, one thing is clear: this isn’t over. No matter how much success conservatives have, not everyone will go quietly. When it comes to LGBT activism, some businesses are playing for keeps.

While most of this week’s coverage seems to be about who isn’t joining the parade, there’s a proud contingent of CEOs who have no intentions of backing off their radicalism. To those who would shrug and say, “It’s just a few splashy logos. What’s the big deal?” the reality is much more sinister. This isn’t about slapping a few Progress flags outside headquarters or queering the Sesame Street puppets. It’s about financing a dangerous enterprise to keep children in bondage and parents in the dark.

The corporate darling of this year’s celebration, The Trevor Group, isn’t just another rah-rah LGBT crusader. Billed as a youth suicide prevention organization, one look under the hood shows that this group is anything but uncontroversial. And yet, sponsors are lining up to finance the group — to the tune of millions of dollars. The heavy-hitters, who are giving upwards of six-figure donations, are mostly familiar names: Macy’s, Petco, Abercrombie & Fitch, Pure Vida, Guess Watches, Kohl’s, Lululemon, MAC Cosmetics, and a collection of lesser-known brands.

A lot of these businesses will ring a bell, simply because they’ve been stubbornly clinging to their LGBT alliances through months of nationwide backlash (along with headstrong lefties at Levi’s, Converse, and Nike). Interestingly, the brands that are listed as year-round Trevor Project partners also happen to rank the highest on the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) Corporate Equality Index. With a few exceptions, almost every company that submitted their information to HRC earned a perfect score — meaning they’re completely on board with transgender insurance coverage and benefits, gender-neutral restrooms and dress codes, and preferred pronoun usage, as well as LGBTQ hiring quotas, non-discrimination standards, sensitivity trainings, recruitment efforts, community outreach, philanthropic support, and lobbying on local, state, and federal issues. In other words, the hardest of the hard core:

  • $1 million: Abercrombie (100%), Lululemon, Macy’s (100%)
  • $500,000: AT&T (100%), Deloitte (100%)
  • $250,000: Coca-Cola (100%), GenDigital (100%), Gilead (100%), Harry’s, Hot Topic Foundation, Jingle Jam, Sephora (100%), MAC Cosmetics, Procter & Gamble, Rare Beauty, The Game Company
  • $100,000: David Yurman, Delta Airlines, Delta Dental, Dolce Vita, FedEx (85%), Forever 21, H&M, Humble Bundle, Kate Spade, Kohl’s (100%), Lemonade, Makeship, Maybelline, National Education Association (NEA), Native, NFL, OPI, Pair of Thieves, Petco (95%), Saks Fifth Avenue, United Airlines (100%), Wells Fargo (100%), Williams-Sonoma (90%), XBox

And while The Trevor Project claims to be harmlessly dedicated to “advocacy, education, and crisis support for LGBTQ+ young people,” it’s the nature of that advocacy and education that should disturb Americans. For starters, this is a group that, just three years ago, was exposed for stealthily grooming children online. A suspicious mom, whose daughter struggled with gender dysphoria, logged onto the organization’s TrevorSpace chat room to see what kind of advice she was getting — and was horrified at the graphic and disturbing nature of the site.

She sent the screenshots to National Review, a “Pandora’s box” of “sexually perverse content, aggressive gender re-assignment referrals, adults encouraging minors to hide their transitions from their parents, and many troubled kids in need of psychological counseling. Like most moms, she said she’d turned to The Trevor Project in “desperation.” “‘I thought my child was going to kill herself,’” she admitted. “In TrevorSpace,” NRO explains, “she got a bird’s-eye view of the progressive non-profit giant that is claiming to save young lives but is really driving them further into existential rabbit holes, depravity, and potential danger.”

At one point, “Rachel then dove into an abyss of concerning sexual conversation. Some transgender-identifying adults confessed in detail their [fantasies and deviances].” In some cases, “users under 18 spoke with adult users about their sexual preferences, including BDSM, polyamory, and others.”

Equally as disturbing, The Trevor Project has its hooks in countless K-12 classrooms across the country with its so-called “resources for educators and school officials, including the Is Your School LGBTQ-Affirming? checklist and Creating Safer Spaces in Schools for LGBTQ Young People, which can help determine whether a school is adequately supporting LGBTQ+ students.” The website “also offers several educational guides for adults working with LGBTQ+ young people, including the Guide to Being an Ally to Transgender and Nonbinary Youth, How to Support Bisexual Youth, and Preventing Suicide.”

“We’ve increased our efforts in public education,” the project’s website brags — and that’s exactly what parents should be afraid of. The group’s resources include a Model School Policy Booklet that it distributes to “ally” teachers, counselors, and volunteers across the country. Among other things, it urges educators to hide information about students’ sexual orientation or gender identity from parents:

  • “Information about a student’s sexual orientation or gender identity should be treated as confidential and not disclosed to parents, guardians, or third parties without the student’s permission. In the case of parents who have exhibited rejecting behaviors, great sensitivity needs to be taken in what information is communicated with parents.”
  • “While parents and guardians need to be informed and actively involved in decisions regarding the student’s welfare, the school mental health professional should ensure that the parents’ actions are in the best interest of the student (e.g., when a student is LGBTQ and living in an unaffirming household).”
  • “In the case of parents who have exhibited rejecting behaviors, great sensitivity needs to be taken in what information is communicated with parents. Additionally, when referring students to out-of-school resources, it is important to connect LGBTQ students with LGBTQ-affirming local health and mental health service providers. Affirming service providers are those that adhere to best practices guidelines regarding working with LGBTQ clients as specified by their professional association (e.g., apa.org/pi/lgbt/resources/guidelines.aspx).”

These are the kind of anti-parent zealots Macy’s, Abercrombie, Petco, and others are donating your June dollars to. Sometimes it’s 10% of the purchase price. Other times it’s the change you round up. But whatever the amount, it’s fueling a team of ideologues intent on destroying America’s children — and keeping it a secret while they do.

Don’t get me wrong. This country should be jubilant about all it’s accomplished. Robby Starbuck and other activists who’ve been fighting this war before most people knew we were in one deserve medals. But the biggest mistake any of us can make is believing we’ve won. Because a single dollar in the wrong hands is a weapon. And the pain, thousands of parents and their young patients will tell you, lasts a lifetime.

Dr. Fauci and China’s Killer Fungus

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Just when you thought you’d heard everything about corruption inside the National Institutes of Health under Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci, this week federal prosecutors arraigned two Chinese nationals in Detroit for allegedly attempting to import a “killer fungus” into the United States.

Thirty-three year old Yunqing Jian, and her colleague, Zunyong Liu, 34, were charged with attempting to import a “potential agroterrorism” weapon into the United States that could wipe out our wheat, barley, maize, and rice crops.

It wasn’t the first time that Ms. Jian made such an attempt. Just by luck, an earlier effort last year to get a colleague in China to mail her similar products failed.

But the real kicker to this story were documents uncovered by Just the News showing that Jian and Liu worked in a University of Michigan research laboratory led by another pair of Chinese nationals. And worse, that their project to study “plant immunity” had received $7.6 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health during the Collins-Fauci era.

Just like the funding Fauci and Collins provided to the Wuhan lab that the FBI now believes engineered the COVID-19 virus, these modern-day Dr. Strangelove characters were once again backing research with apocalyptic consequences, all in an effort to prepare for apocalyptic events that without their funding would not occur.

So why would the Chinese Communist Party want to unleash a mass killer fungus into the agricultural heartland of America?

Perhaps for the same reason they have installed what federal prosecutors now call “undocumented communications channels” inside Chinese-made inverters sold to solar power customers.

The inverters are the units, usually installed inside a house with solar panels on the roof, that connect your energy-producing plant to the electric grid. They constantly communicate with the grid, in order to modulate how much electricity you take from the grid, or supply to it.

In Sweden, for example, these home power plants produce over 40.6 gigawatts of power daily, roughly 14% of what Sweden consumes.

Now just imagine that the Chinese Communist Party decided to use these inverters to conduct a cyberattack on the national electric grid. “Open a channel, Spock! — or rather, Jian” – and poof, in comes a virus.

The grid could go down before any of our power companies realized what was happening.

And now for the trifecta.

This week, Democrat governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona vetoed legislation, voted on by Democrats, that would have prohibited the Chinese government and Chinese government owned enterprises from buying or leasing land in the state.

At issue was an attempt by the Chinese government to lease buildings near the Luke Air Force in Glendale, Arizona. Hobbs claimed the bill “opens the door to arbitrary enforcement.”

This Democrat governor thinks protecting the Chinese government from “discrimination” is more important than protecting US national security.

This is the kind of misguided goody-two-shoes approach to national security that led to Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 attacks.

Here are three separate cases in just one week. Does anyone really believe any longer that the Chinese Communist government wishes us well?

I discuss this, as well as Ukraine’s spectacular drone attack against Russia airfields, Putin’s response, and Donald Trump’s stepping back from the Russia-Ukraine negotiations, on this week’s Prophecy Today Weekend.

Relative vs Absolute Risk Reduction 2

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Don’t be fooled. 

I wrote about this EXTREMELY important matter here. Please review that post, as it explains in a simple fashion the enormous difference between these two very significant numbers.

I recently came across a two-minute video that tackles the same issue…

This is a VERY big deal for citizens to understand, as a variety of self-serving parties try to take advantage of the fact that many citizens are technically challenged — and fool them by using relative (not absolute) risk reduction.

Hopefully, this will be one of the many things that RFKjr will see is fixed at the FDA and CDC…
