Leaked DNC 2024 Autopsy Is A Case Study In Stunning Incompetence

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

An autopsy of the 2024 election commissioned by the Democratic National Committee leaked Thursday. It is, in a word, “garbage.”

The post-mortem, first published by CNN, elides honest self-evaluation for sloppy conclusions and self-congratulation.

“At times, it seems Democrats are trying to win arguments while Republicans are focused on winning elections. Democrats operate in an ecosystem defined by reason even in cycles when the electorate is defined by rage. This highlights a fundamental and necessary truth — a brutal and efficiently delivered message will frame the choice for voters and help actually win the election,” the report reads.

Yes, Democrats are the Party of Reason. Recall former Vice President Kamala Harris’ insight into the significance of the passage of time in 2022.

“The governor and I and we were all doing a tour of the library here, and um, talking about the significance of the passage of time. Right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs, and there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.”

The author of the DNC autopsy believes Democrats were too hesitant to put President Donald Trump in prison.

“The retrospective evaluation of Donald Trump’s presidency was too positive. Given the ability of right-wing entities to slash and smear the Vice President, it was essential to prosecute a more effective case as to why Trump should have been disqualified from ever again taking office. The grounds were there, but the messaging did not make sense.”

Never mind that Trump’s mug shot proved one of the defining images of his campaign. The photo appeared on Trump merchandise almost immediately after Trump was released from Fulton County Jail in August 2023. The mug shot now hangs outside the Oval Office.

The author also alludes to Americans being too lazy to show up to the polls.

“Pulling people in is one of the hardest things to do in elections, especially in a modern information and cultural ecosystem where a lot of people are content to sit on their couch and be on the phone, as opposed to being out in their communities and engaging and learning about what’s going on in the world around them.”

What else is missing from the autopsy? Daily Caller Editor-in-Chief Amber Duke provides a breakdown:

The author’s analysis of male voting habits is weak. He notes that Democratic North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein performed better with male voters than did Harris, which “suggests his campaign found ways to connect with male voters.”

Well, yes.

“The national campaign appeared to struggle with male voter engagement; Stein’s results suggest a different approach is needed.”

It would be helpful if the author explained what that approach should be.

The author elsewhere notes that the “national campaign had a specific problem with male voters” and that “Harris saw dramatic drops in support among young Latino men and young Black men compared to Biden’s 2020 performance. However, Stein recovered significant ground with both groups, suggesting his campaign found effective ways to reach these voters.”

The report advises that male voters “require direct engagement. The gender gap can be narrowed. Deploy male messengers, address economic concerns, and don’t assume identity politics will hold male voters of color.”

The author does not provide a substantive guide to winning male voters. There is no mention of podcasts, for instance, which formed a great part of Trump’s strategy in reaching young male voters.

There is no mention of “pronouns,” “bathrooms,” or “sports,” all of which were significant culture war issues in the 2024 election. There is one mention of “transgendered Americans.”

The autopsy claims “pollsters concurred” that Trump’s “attack ad focused on the Vice President’s prior statements on transgendered Americans” was “very effective.”

“[T]he ad was a video of her saying what she said, and it was framed as an attack on her economic priorities.”

The DNC notes, in an annotation, that the report does not provide “source material or data” to back up this claim. The autopsy is littered with annotations from the DNC noting a lack of sourcing, internally inconsistent methodology, methodological errors, mathematical errors, incorrect facts asserted by the author, logical contradictions, and entire sections of the report that are missing.

Several subtitles appear, but have no content directly below them. Under the “Introduction” and “National Overview” section of “WHAT HAPPENED (ELECTORAL REVIEW),” the author simply wrote,  “PENDING.”

By far the funniest correction appears in the section, “It’s The Future, Stupid.” In it, the author asserts that endorsements by Trump and Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell in the 2022 Georgia Senate election constituted a “blatant attempt by the Republican power base to take advantage of name recognition and tough economic conditions to push through an unqualified candidate whose job would have been little more than rubber dstamping the president’s agenda.”

The DNC rightly notes: “In 2022, Joe Biden was president.”

In that section, the DNC also notes that the author “[a]ppears to conflate family and sick leave.”

The word “working-class” appears once, when the author praises Democratic Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s “working-class credentials and presence in manufacturing communities.” The report is oddly focused on the 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014 elections.

The final leg of the report focuses on the influence of American billionaires Charles and the late David Koch on conservative politics.

You may be detecting a certain artificial intelligence-flavored tone to these excerpts. AI-detection platform GPTZero flagged the document as likely AI-generated.

DNC Chairman Ken Martin announced in December 2025 he would not release the report, eliciting criticism from Democrats and Republicans.

“When I received the report late last year, it wasn’t ready for primetime. Not even close. And because no source material was provided, fixing it would have meant starting over, from the beginning – every conversation, every interview, every data set,” Martin wrote in a statement Thursday.

“I am not proud of this product; it does not meet my standards, and it won’t meet your standards. I don’t endorse what’s in this report, or what’s left out of it. I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on it. But transparency is paramount. So, today I am releasing the report as I received it – in its entirety, unedited and unabridged – with annotations for claims that couldn’t be verified,” Martin wrote, linking to the report.

One wonders how much money the DNC paid for this mess.

The Daily Caller has contacted the DNC press office for comment.

Canadian Mass Shooter Confirmed Transgender — Social Media Footprint Shows Path To Radicalization

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

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed Wednesday that the suspect in one of the deadliest school shootings in Canadian history was trans.

The RCMP provided an update on the tragic shooting that shook the nation and left nine dead and 27 injured in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., on Tuesday, confirming the identity of the suspected shooter as 18-year-old local area resident Jesse Van Rootselaar, according to CBC News.

Initial reports described the shooter as a female with brown hair, wearing a dress.

Authorities confirmed Van Rootselaar was born a biological male and began transitioning to female approximately six years ago. The timeline suggests Van Rootselaar started his gender transition when he was just 12 years old.

The social media footprint allegedly tied to Van Rootselaar shows a dangerous, downward path to radicalization.

Police confirmed that Van Rootselaar’s mother, Jennifer Strang, and 11-year-old stepbrother were killed in the attack. Purported screenshots from Jennifer Strang’s Facebook page show her linking to her “[son’s] … YouTube channel,” jesseboy347. The account name appears to have later been changed to “JessJess347.”

The YouTube account features the transgender flag and uses “she/her” pronouns.

The profile image is an anime figure overtop a transgender pride background, alongside an SKS rifle.

Juno News claimed the channel featured just one public post, uploaded six months before the shooting. The post read, “I’ve been pretty um, aimless.”

A Reddit account with a similar username, jesseboy347, depicted identity issues and biological confusion.

In a now-deleted post from 2023, jesseboy347 described an obsession with anime and frustration with body image.

“How do I stop comparing myself to fictional characters?” the individual wrote.

“I’m trans MtF, I’m pre-HRT 15yo and I’ve been viewing a lot of anime related content recently, was never into it before. The characters are always so cute!”

The post continued, “I’m super skinny, so that sometimes makes me feel kinda good! But I’m Pre-HRT and my expectations are minimal for chest growth, and I’m 6ft tall! Why can’t I be petit an smol?”

It’s unclear why the messages, visible Wednesday morning, were stripped from the internet.

Jennifer identified Jesse on her alleged Facebook page with her last name, Strang, rather than Van Rootselaar. Juno News said they spoke to Russell G. Strang, who claimed to be the uncle of “Jesse Strang” and said his nephew was responsible for the mass shooting.

The RCMP also indicated in their press conference that Van Rootselaar had a history of mental health issues and that there had been prior calls to the home.

EXCLUSIVE: Blue State Privately Admitted Men Lie About Being ‘Trans’ To Live In Women’s Prison

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

Washington state prison officials privately acknowledged that “trans” men could have more sinister motives for wanting to be housed with females.

A group of “gender affirming” mental health specialists discussed how to prevent inmates from requesting sex-changes for “secondary gain” rather than gender dysphoria during an internal monthly meeting. Secondary gain is a psychiatric term that describes the benefits a person with a mental disorder gleans from their neurosis such as “extra attention, sympathy, avoidance of work, and domination of others,” according to the American Psychological Association.

“The topic was on secondary gain and how certain individuals want gender affirming services, but it is not due to gender dysphoria,” the September 2024 meeting notes show. “The question was asked how to prevent that,” the records state.

The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained the meeting notes through a series of public record requests submitted to the Washington Department of Corrections (DOC) .

The topic of discussion among DOC staff materialized four years after Washington state opened the door for “trans” men in women’s prisons.

“Access to women and women’s spaces is the primary incentive, including sexual access and targeting emotionally vulnerable women,” Beth Parlato, senior legal counsel of Independent Women’s Law Center, told the DCNF.

“Another secondary gain is exploiting trauma as the majority of incarcerated women have histories of male sexual violence. Power, control and dominance is also at play,” Parlato said.

An agenda for an internal Washington Department of Corrections monthly meeting of Gender Affirming providers obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation through a public records request.

A public manual, last updated in August 2023, for Washington DOC employees provided a protocol for staff to follow if they felt a newly transgender identifying inmate was “not sincere in their gender identity” and was claiming the identity “for an improper purpose.”

“Suppose an Incarcerated Individual discloses to staff and WADOC believes that an individual is not sincere in their gender identity and asserting it for an improper purpose. In that case, they will be referred to an external agency Gender-Affirming Mental Health Community Consultant, to evaluate the sincerity of the individual’s transgender identity,” the manual says.

Transgender identifying inmates determined not to have a “sincere transgender identity” could have their requests to be housed with the opposite sex denied by the Washington DOC, according to a 2024 draft of a transgender custody program manual obtained by the DCNF. The draft manual also notes “trans” inmates cannot be denied a “gender-affirming housing placement” for “discriminatory” reasons such as sexual orientation, a history of being a sex offender or complaints from “cisgender” inmates who don’t want to be housed with a member of the opposite sex.

The Washington DOC did not respond to the DCNF’s request to know if the draft manual was finalized.

“There is no fully objective way for a government agency to determine whether an individual has a ‘sincere transgender identity,’” Parlato told the DCNF.

“Determinations will inevitably involve subjective judgment. DOC will claim they evaluate indicators such as past self-identification, consistency, mental health documentation, past social transition or prior statements and prior records. However, this involves subjective decisions that will always bring in personal biases,” Parlato said.

The DCNF asked the Washington DOC for more information on the criteria used to determine an individual did not have a sincere “transgender identity” and for further clarification on the secondary gain inmates might derive from sex-rejections interventions, but did not receive a comment.

Other topics of the monthly meeting included discussions on “big changes” that could result from the November 2024 election and outside groups who were contacting inmates about gender “affirming care” in the DOC, documents show.

The Trump administration has vowed to keep men out of women’s prisons and the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a memo on Dec. 2 reinforcing a January 2025 executive order requiring inmates to be housed according to sex, a policy that challenges Federal Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) standards published in 2012 allowing males to be housed in female prisons.

The meetings were led by psychologist Dr. Meg Manthos who founded Manthos Psychological Services, a psychology practice that specializes in evaluations and treatment planning for institutionalized “transgender” patients. The group’s primary service is providing readiness evaluations to those seeking sex-rejection surgeries, according to its website.

A signed contract between Manthos and the Washington DOC showed the state agreed to pay up to $3200 a day for consulting services and $450 an hour for courtroom testimony when requested by the DOC. Washington DOC has spent $1,184,889 on Manthos consulting services since the contract began in April 2020, according to the state’s fiscal transparency website. The contract was extended until April 2026, according to documents obtained by the DCNF.

Dr. Manthos did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.

The DCNF obtained a public records document showing the Washington State DOC spent over $600,000 on transgender medical procedures from 2022 to 2024, with a sharp year-to-year increase. Washington state taxpayers footed the bill for $92,225 of transgender medical interventions in 2022, $203,651 in 2023 and $310,785 in 2024.

America’s ‘Non Binary’ And ‘Trans’ Community Falling Apart At Seams

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

Eric Kaufmann ignited a virtual firestorm Oct. 14.

“[Trans] identification is in free fall among the young,” the professor wrote on X.

Kaufmann credited, in small part, improved mental health. But, he noted, the “decline in anxiety and depression occurred within trans, bisexual and queer groups as much as among others. So it wasn’t the case that most of those who solved their emotional problems became heterosexual … The fall of trans and queer seems most similar to the fading of a fashion or trend. It happened largely independently of shifts in political beliefs and social media use.”

Cutting off your private parts is so five years ago. Duh.

There’s a few problems with the data heralded by Kaufmann as proof of transgenderism’s waning popularity. Kaufmann’s chart demonstrates a declining share of students “not identifying as male or female.” That’s not quite the same as identifying as the opposite sex.

Kaufmann responded to critics in a Substack post.

“The meaning of the term transgender is not fixed to only refer to binary transgender individuals who identify as male or female. Movement organizations and activists include non-binary under their definition of trans.”

Another potentially confounding factor: Kaufmann’s chart displays data from three surveys, two of which exclusively surveyed students at elite schools (Brown University and college preparatory school Phillips Academy Andover). The third survey, conducted by the foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), samples “over 50,000 students per year,” mostly at leading research universities, according to Kaufmann.

That survey “involve[s] only a small share of total students – perhaps 1-10 percent of the target pool, depending on the institution.”

Jean M. Twenge, a San Diego State psychology professor, set out to determine if transgender identity really is in free fall.

She determined it is, first analyzing data from the “nationally representative Household Pulse survey,” which asks respondents directly if they identify as transgender.

“The Household Pulse data showed a decline in trans ID among 18- to 22-year-olds in 2024, but I was cautious about drawing conclusions from it as the decline appeared only in a limited time period (July to September 2024) and two of the three survey administrations added an option for nonbinary identification that wasn’t there before.”

Twenge then discovered a second set of data spanning a longer time period : the Cooperative Election Study (CES). Kaufmann claims the study sample is not representative of the U.S. population; The CCES claims it is designed to be nationally representative of all national adults.

The CES data, as graphed by Twenge, shows a sharp decline in transgender identification among 18- to 22-year-olds, beginning in 2022. Nonbinary identification rose between 2021 and 2023, before declining below 2021 levels in 2024.

With any luck, the next teenage social contagion will be a little less permanently crippling. Might I suggest a bad haircut? Or wearing way too many bangles? Or anything but totally disfiguring your body and mind?

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

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

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 End: Paranormal 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.

FBI Recovers ‘High Powered Rifle’ of ‘College-Aged’ Assassin, Ammo Engraved With ‘Transgender and ANTIFA’ Symbols

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

The FBI has recovered a “high powered BOLT ACTION RIFLE” in a wooded area where the assassin fled after kiIIing Charlie Kirk

The suspect is believed to be “college-aged.”

“All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”

“Investigators have collected footwear impression, a palmprint and forearm imprints for analysis,” the FBI says.

Could the “.30-06 bolt-action rifle” used in Charlie Kirk shooting reveal who the shooter was?

International Desk

Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. Federal agents have now confirmed they recovered the rifle used in the attack. The weapon was found in a wooded area near the campus. Officials say it was an older bolt-action rifle.

Law enforcement sources told major outlets it was a Mauser .30-06 caliber rifle. This type of rifle is known for hunting use. Investigators believe the shooter discarded it while fleeing. The FBI has sealed off the site for further testing.

What We Know About the Rifle Used

According to Reuters and USA TODAY, the rifle was found behind the Losee building on campus. Evidence markers showed a trail leading through the woods to a nearby construction zone. Workers at the site told reporters they briefly saw a man moving through the area. One worker recalled the man saying he was trying to get home safe after the shooting.

The rifle is described as a high-powered bolt-action firearm. Experts note the .30-06 caliber is common for hunting deer. This type of rifle typically holds five rounds. A shooter must reload each round manually after firing. That slows the rate of fire compared with semi-automatic rifles.

Tom Chittum, a former ATF deputy director, said the single shot at Kirk matched the profile of such a rifle. He explained that with optics and some practice, the shot was possible without military training. The FBI will now test the weapon for fingerprints, DNA, and trace evidence.

Investigation and Security Concerns

Officials stressed that finding the rifle is a major step. It can be traced through serial numbers. It may also lead to the purchase history. That could help identify the suspect or their network. Authorities have not confirmed if the shooter is linked to any group.

The Utah Department of Public Safety and the FBI are leading the manhunt. They urged the public to report tips. Police believe the suspect may have used nearby properties to escape. Forensic teams are continuing to search the area.

Security experts note the choice of a bolt-action rifle may suggest planning. It shows patience and preparation for a long-range shot. But officials caution against speculation until the investigation is complete.

Virginia Democrat’s Lead Erodes Amid Familiar Mistake On Gender Ideology

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

The Democratic candidate in Virginia’s 2025 gubernatorial election is watching her lead erode amid a familiar clash that led to a Republican victory in the 2021 race.

With less than three months until Election Day, Virginia’s off-year gubernatorial race is becoming increasingly competitive, as Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears closes the gap with her opponent, former Democratic Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger.

A Roanoke College poll released Tuesday shows Sears trailing Spanberger by seven points. In comparison, a previous poll from May had Spanberger leading by 17 points in the 2025 governor’s race.

As public polls show the race tightening, Sears told the Daily Caller in an exclusive interview that she always believed the contest to be winnable.

“Our polling showed that we were much closer and even my opponent said that this was a toss-up race, but the mainstream media would not believe her because they want her to win,” Sears said.

But Sears now has extra momentum thanks to a renewed debate over gender ideology in schools — an issue that was pivotal in Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin’s 2021 victory. Questions about how schools should handle transgender students and how much say parents should have in the public education system are once again emerging as a central focus in the final stretch of the 2025 race.

The discussion was reignited after America First Legal (AFL) sent a letter in July to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Education (DOE), urging an investigation into five Virginia school districts for allegedly failing to protect girls’ facilities.

Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) is also once again in the spotlight for punishing a group of boys who objected to a biological girl who identifies as transgender entering their locker room and allegedly recording them. Two of the three boys who complained have been suspended.

Sears has been outspoken about the suspension of the boys and the five Northern Virginia districts that are accused of violating Title IX. The lieutenant governor attended an Arlington County School Board meeting on Thursday to hammer the issue.

“It’s dangerous, it’s insane, and it has to stop,” she said, addressing the school board. “Here’s the truth: there are two sexes, boys and girls.”

“It is interesting to me that we have these five Northern Virginia school boards who are willing to risk not millions but hundreds of millions of dollars for their ideology,” Sears later said in an interview with WUSA9.

Spanberger, meanwhile, has not offered much substance in response to the issue. ABC 7News sent a list of questions to Spanberger’s campaign in early August in an attempt to clarify where she stands on school bathroom, locker room and sports policies.

“Abigail is a mom of three kids in Virginia public schools — the safety of Virginia’s kids is Abigail’s top priority, and she believes that parents have the right to make decisions about what is best for their children,” the Democrat’s campaign said in reply.

Spanberger also accused Sears of backing the Trump administration’s “threats to strip funding from Virginia schools” but did not directly address concerns about the Virginia schools’ alleged Title IX violations.

The fight over gender ideology and the tightening race is reminiscent of similar conditions during the 2021 gubernatorial race between Youngkin and former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe.

Youngkin’s campaign capitalized on McAuliffe’s stance against parental involvement in schools, which ultimately shifted momentum in the blue state. Youngkin spent the early part of his campaign meeting with parents’ groups concerned about Covid school closures, transgender bathroom policies, boys in girls’ sports and DEI curricula. When the opponents met for a debate in late September, McAuliffe declared, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” The statement became central to campaign ads from Youngkin’s team.

A Republican strategist involved in Virginia’s 2025 elections affirmed to the Daily Caller that the current dynamics in the gubernatorial race echo what happened in the 2021 gubernatorial election — but with trends developing possibly even earlier than four years ago.

“The dynamic that’s playing out now is very similar to what played out in 2021, where you had a very potent issue pop at the final stretch of this election. I think you’ll just continue to see the polls close as Winsome really stands out from Abigail Stanberger as someone with conviction, courage and common sense priorities on the stuff that’s so important to people,” the strategist explained.

Matthew Hurtt, chair of the Arlington GOP, pointed to the importance of Republicans eating into Democratic strongholds in Virginia’s traditionally bluer northern regions. Taking advantage of cross-party issues like gender ideology and parental rights in schools could accomplish that goal, as was shown in 2021.

“Arlington was 10% of Governor Youngkin’s victory margin in 2021. That is to say, the difference in the votes from 2020 to 2021, it was about a 6,000 vote difference. That’s what I’m focused on, being just one part of Northern Virginia,” Hurtt said. “We don’t have to win it — it’s unlikely that we would win Northern Virginia in a statewide election — but we just have to reduce those margins.”

Sears’s appearance at the Arlington School Board meeting last week made the gender ideology issue even more salient, as a Democratic activist went viral for holding up a sign racially targeting Sears, who would be the nation’s first female black governor if elected.

“Hey Winsome, if the trans can’t share your bathroom then blacks can’t share my bathroom,” the sign said.

Sears said that although she is now a public figure, she has never gotten used to “racist language” from her opponents.

“You never get used to seeing racist symbols, racist language, but I’m an adult and so I can brush it off. But this is not about me, this is about the young child who will see this and wonder why is this happening in a new century,” she reflected.

Spanberger condemned the sign as “racist and abhorrent,” but a top Virginia Democrats official accused Sears of stoking the racial attack, writing, “What happened in Arlington wasn’t just about a meeting. It was about the climate Winsome Sears is creating, one where contempt is currency and neighbors are turned against each other.”

Ian Prior, the former Executive Director of Fight for Schools and a prominent activist who helped push Youngkin over the finish line in 2021, argued that Democrats in Northern Virginia are again alienating voters by pushing radical gender policies in schools — and by relying on personal attacks like the one employed by the Democratic activist on Thursday.

“Northern Virginia’s school systems are once again using children as pawns in their subservience to the idea that men can be women and women can be men,” Prior told the Caller. “Now their outside allied activists are threatening to return to Jim Crow laws if grown men aren’t allowed to change in front of young children in girls’ locker rooms and restrooms.”

“This issue has become electoral poison for the left, yet it looks like they are so captured by their radical base that they are willing to set their chances on fire again this November,” he asserted.

The Republican strategist noted that Youngkin also trailed McAuliffe in public polls throughout the summer and fall of 2021, but the race grew increasingly close as they got closer to Election Day.

“Just naturally, a lot of these polling organizations are from pretty disreputable sources. Obviously, you can get the nitty-gritty of how they actually conduct polls, but I think the energy felt on the ground — especially towards the fall of Governor Youngkin’s win — was really palpable,” the strategist explained.

Hurtt said that although the singular Roanoke College poll is not necessarily instructive, “a string of polls tells a story.”

“Nobody is paying attention to a gubernatorial election in March and April. I think the lightning strike event of Tuesday and Thursday in Loudon and Arlington, respectively, is the point where people begin to clue in,” Hurtt told the Caller.

Sears also highlighted the significant increase in fundraising for her campaign and suggested her willingness to take a public stance on key ideological issues sets her apart from Spanberger and entices donors and voters to stand with her.

“People want to donate to people who they believe in and they see something, I think, in me that says I am going to do the right thing. I am going to ensure that the policies that we’ve already begun will continue,” Sears said.

“I’ve raised in this last quarter $6 million,” Sears said. “I have raised more money in the second quarter of the campaign than any Republican ever has, including my wonderful Governor Youngkin — and he will tell you that. People like what we’ve done and they want it to continue.”

Hurtt similarly said that the Arlington GOP’s August fundraising effort is shaping up to be their strongest yet, calling it the single best fundraising month “probably in a generation.”

The Caller contacted the DOJ and the DOE to confirm whether a referral had been made for the five Northern Virginia counties for Title IX violations, but did not receive a response in time for publication.

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.

EXCLUSIVE: School District Piped Taxpayer Cash Into Clandestine Clubs Turning Kids Into LGBT Activists

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

A California school district took federal funds from a disease prevention grant and funneled them into student LGBT clubs focused on gender ideology and queer activism, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Genders & Sexualities Alliance (GSA) Network — which backs over 4,000 LGBT student groups in the U.S. — uses the clubs to engage kids on topics such as transgenderism, sexuality and queer activism, all while leaving parents in the dark, documents show. The Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) burned nearly $60,000 in HIV prevention grant funds from the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the GSA clubs.

The CDC grant funds Healthy Oakland Teens, a school-based program with the goal of reducing HIV and STD’s among the district’s middle and high school student population.

OUSD’s 2018 grant application revealed it used part of the Healthy Oakland Teens funding to pay school staff members, called “LGBTQ Liasons,” to oversee middle and high school GSA clubs and help create a school climate that “affirms” LGBT students. A July 2023 award letter shows an additional $50,000 of grant funding paid elementary school staff to run similar LGBT programs for younger students.

OUSD describes its GSA clubs, which are student-led under the supervision of an adult staff member, as a place where students who identify as “LGBTQ+, Non-Binary, or as an ally” can meet weekly to “do activism.”

It’s unclear how funding school GSA clubs prevents HIV and STDs. The OUSD did not respond to requests for comment.

Across the county, GSA clubs serve as a student hub of gender ideology and queer activism.

OUSD’s 2018 application for the HIV and STD prevention grant lists decreasing LGBT bullying as a primary goal. Of the thousands the district carved out for LGBT programming, $20,000 went to hire an LGBT consultant to “help OUSD host its annual GSA day for all middle and high schools” and develop “materials and training to help teachers create welcoming classrooms for LGBTQ students.” More than $10,000 of grant funding was earmarked to cover the costs of GSA day, a full-day event with “workshops, student-led advocacy, and celebration” for LGBTQ students, according to the grant application.

From 2018 to 2023, OUSD received more than $3 million as part of the “Healthy Oakland Teens: Promoting Adolescent Sexual Health in Full Service Community Schools” grant from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), according to the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) grant database.

HHS and CDC didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Pages from the Oakland Unified School District gender support plan document used by school staff, which was obtained by the DCNF through a public records request.

‘Choose A More Accepting Family Member’

Through a public record request the DCNF obtained OUSD’s “gender support plan,” a document outlining how staff can “support” a student’s new gender identity by socially transitioning them to another sex at school, without notifying their parents.

The document directs staff to ask students to rate their parents’ support and list “go to adults” on campus they can contact. The gender support plan also recommends students be connected to their school GSA club and “LGBTQ Liason.”

Students are asked to list the name and pronouns they’d like to be called at school and which they’d like staff to use when contacting their parents or guardians. A disclaimer at the top of the form states that if parents do not affirm their child’s chosen identity, in order to “maintain privacy” the gender support plan should not be placed in the student’s file.

OUSD’s “behavioral health unit” offers a resource for “transgender” and “questioning students” which recommends students seek out “accepting adults” at school, particularly if their family is not supportive of their new identity.

“Get a sense of how your family feels about LGBTQNB people. Choose a more accepting family member to connect with first,” states the OUSD resource.

“If you think you won’t be safe if you tell your family, it is best to wait. Find accepting adults at schools and family members who are the most accepting to start with.”

Genders & Sexualities Alliance

The Gay-Straight Alliance Network, which originated in San Francisco in 1998 to provide peer support for gay teenagers, changed its name in 2016 to Genders & Sexualities Alliance Network as part of an effort to move beyond “the limits of a binary gender system,” according to its website. The organization, which includes more than 4,000 GSA clubs and 40 statewide organizations, now has a focus on mobilizing students for queer activism.

“GSAs have evolved beyond their traditional role to serve as safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth in middle schools and high schools,” states the GSA Network website.

“GSA Network is a next-generation LGBTQ racial and gender justice organization that empowers and trains queer, trans and allied youth leaders to advocate, organize, and mobilize an intersectional movement for safer schools and healthier communities,” its website states.

The GSA Network did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.

The GSA Network advisor handbook, a guidebook for GSA advisors, tells adult leaders to anticipate “possible resistance” from parents and to “be discreet” when contacting students noting “it might not be safe” to use the term “GSA Club.”

“When calling youth, it may not be safe to mention ‘GSA club’ or another trans or queer reference. Alternatively, club leaders can say they are from a student leadership program at (insert school name),” the GSA advisor handbook states.

The GSA clubs have not gone unnoticed among parents.

Erin Lee, executive director of Protect Kids Colorado, told the DCNF a teacher invited her middle school daughter to a GSA club disguised as an after-school art club, where she was taught about puberty blockers, transgenderism and LGBTQ identities, without parental consent.

“My child was lured into a confidential GSA club disguised as an Art Club in her 6th grade classroom. She was deceived by her ‘trusted adult’ teacher about what the club entailed, and parents were completely kept in the dark about what the club really was,” Lee said. “We were not prepared in any way for our little girl to be attending a secret gender and sexuality club.”

“They talked about sexual attraction, how being uncomfortable in your body actually means you are ‘trans,’ puberty blockers, polyamory, unsupportive parents, and suicide,” Lee told the DCNF.

After attending the GSA meeting, Lee’s daughter began identifying as transgender and wanted to transition to another sex. Her involvement with the GSA club “led to a months-long emotional decline of gender and sexuality confusion that required counseling and included suicidal thoughts,” according to a lawsuit the Lee’s filed against the Poudre School District, where her daughter attended school, in March 2023.

“They planted seeds of distrust towards parents; they manipulated her feelings; they violated her innocence; they lied to her. And they lied to us. They tried to keep it all a secret and persuade her to keep the secret, too,” Lee told the DCNF.

The district told the DCNF the lawsuit filed by the Lees was dismissed in a federal district court, and that decision was affirmed by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

EXCLUSIVE: Male ‘Transgender’ Inmate Who Allegedly Terrorized Female Cellmate Has Long History Of Prison Violence

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

A male “transgender” inmate who allegedly sexually assaulted his female cellmate had a long history of violent behavior and serious infractions before Washington state correction officials transferred him to a women’s prison, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

In December 2024, Mozzy Clark filed a lawsuit against the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) alleging she was forced to share a cell with Christopher Scott Williams, whom the lawsuit describes as a “6 foot, 4 inch biological male who was known to be a violent, convicted sexual predator,” at Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW).

Williams, who still uses a male name, was transferred from a male prison to a women’s prison in 2021, after he began identifying as female. The Washington DOC has a policy that allows inmates to be transferred to a prison that matches their gender identity — how they feel about their sex — rather than their biology.

Williams was convicted of first degree assault and has an earned release date of 2038, according to the Washington DOC.

The DCNF submitted a public records request asking for documentation of reports that Williams had violated correctional facility rules while in prison. The Washington DOC provided the DCNF with Williams’ 98-page prison infraction summary. The summary lists Williams’ infraction reports, the seriousness of the allegation, the outcome of the hearing addressing the allegations and any sanctions imposed for violating prison rules.

The document, which refers to Williams as “female,” spans more than a decade and reveals Williams had a long history of violence and serious violations in male prisons before being transferred to WCCW. The list of serious infractions includes fighting with another inmate, sexual harassment, possessing explicit materials, damaging property and providing false information during an investigation of sexual misconduct. The infractions lead to punishments such as being confined to his cell for days, according to public records.

The DCNF was unable to reach Williams for comment and it appears that he is currently without legal representation.

In July 2011, Williams was sanctioned for sexual harassment and possession of sexually explicit material. He incurred the same infractions in February 2022, the timeframe of Mozzy Clark’s allegations, after his transfer to a women’s prison, according to the infraction summary.

Williams’ final violation in male prison occurred in May 2021, when he was given a sanction of being confined to his cell for 20 days for tampering with a security device. By December 2021, Williams had been transferred to the women’s prison and earned his first infraction there, an unauthorized absence from a required appointment, according to the summary document.

The lawsuit describes how in January and February of 2022, Clark was terrorized by her “fully intact” male cellmate, alleging Williams repeatedly sexually harassed her in the prison cell they shared, said depraved things to her while she showered and sexually assaulted her multiple times, according to the lawsuit.

Clark alleges Williams harassed her with sex toys, stating in that lawsuit that “[a]t night, Mr. Williams would take out various sex toys kept in his cell, and talk at length about how he wanted to use them on Ms. Clark.” The lawsuits notes Williams had a “large bag of sex toys” which was confiscated by prison officials in February 2022.

In February 2022, Williams incurred three serious infractions which included possession of sexuality explicit materials, for which Williams was confined to his cell for 10 days. Williams was also accused of sexual harassment but was cleared of that accusation, according to the summary document.

According to the lawsuit, prison officials regularly ignored or minimized Clark’s reports of the harassment. It wasn’t until Clark filed a Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) complaint against Williams that he was finally removed from her cell, states the lawsuit.  

“Even from an outside perspective, the only logical conclusion here is that Mozzy’s complaints were trivialized because the state was more concerned with perpetuating its woke policies than protecting the rights and safety of the women in its custody,” David Pivtorak, Clark’s lawyer, told the DCNF. “It appears that they cared more about prioritizing the feelings of male predators claiming to be the opposite sex than the foreseeable risk of violence to the women who were forced into a confined space with them against their will.”

The Washington DOC told the DCNF that allegations of sexual harassment are a “paramount concern” which are taken very seriously. It also made it clear that its prison housing policies and cellmate assignments are made according to state and federal law.

“State and federal law prescribe where offenders are to be housed. Inside, most have a cellmate, unless placed in temporary administrative segregation or assigned to higher security levels based on a Custody Review Score,” a representative for the Washington DOC told the DCNF.

“We do not improvise our standards of treatment and care. We are an arm of the justice system. We carry out the law, and we also follow it,” said the Washington DOC representative.

Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security advisor, recently stated the Trump administration is committed to protecting female inmates by keeping males out of female prisons.

“We are also making clear in our prison system, male prisoners will not be allowed into women’s prisons. The Biden administration promoted prison rape by putting men into female prisons. That is obviously insane, cruel and unacceptable,” stated Miller. “This administration will not allow that.”

Williams still resides in the women’s prison, according to the Washington DOC.

“Eradication Of ‘Female’ As A Legal Category”

Clark’s lawsuit claims the “cruel and unusual punishment of sexual violence” allegedly inflicted upon her in prison was a result of Washington DOC policies.

The Washington DOC published its first transgender policy in February 2020, which allows inmates to be housed according to feelings about their sex, which activists call “gender identity,” rather than their biology.

Policies allowing men to transfer into women’s prison based on their feelings about their sex paves the way for the eradication of “female” as a legal category, Pivtorak explained to the DCNF.

“Taking this to its logical conclusion really means the complete erasure not only of women’s private spaces but the annihilation of ‘female’ as a discernible legal and biological category entirely,” said Pivtorak.

Washington DOC significantly expanded its gender ideology policies in October 2023 when Disability Rights Washington (DRW), a federally-funded nonprofit, announced it had successfully negotiated a settlement with the Washington DOC.

The activist group claimed Washington DOC had violated the rights of disabled transgender inmates by failing to provide them access to medical sex-change procedures and “gender affirming” mental healthcare, according to a press release.

The groundbreaking settlement required Washington DOC to provide inmates with cross-sex surgery, hire additional staff to provide sex-change medical interventions and provide additional gender ideology training for staff. In 2024, the Washington DOC published a toolkit to help gender confused inmates obtain cross-sex hormones, genital surgery and housing.

The DCNF obtained a public records document showing the Washington State DOC spent over $600,000 on transgender medical procedures from 2022 to 2024, with a sharp year-to-year increase. Washington state taxpayers footed the bill for $92,225 of transgender medical interventions in 2022, $203,651 in 2023 and $310,785 in 2024.

The transgender inmate medical claims paid for by the state included anesthesia for genital surgery, anesthesia for the amputation of a penis and silicone breast implants.

Costs of “gender affirming” medical services provided to inmates in the Washington State Department of Corrections.

The settlement requires Washington DOC to designate a “gender-affirming mental health specialist” at each of the state’s eleven major prisons. It also requires DOC to contract with a “gender-affirming mental health community consultant,” described as “a community expert in gender-affirming mental health care,” and hire a “gender-affirming medical specialist” to provide transgender medical interventions to patients at any “Department facility in person or via telehealth services.”

The Washington DOC has a job post for a “gender affirming medical specialist”, stating they will be expected to coordinate “medical care provided to transgender and gender diverse incarcerated individuals statewide, both in person and through telehealth.” The job comes with an annual salary range of $198,648 to $267,228, 25 paid vacation days a year and a requirement to become certified by the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH). 

The Washington DOC told the DCNF its agreement with DRW “prescribed new standards for gender-affirming care” for the many sex-change interventions that meet the “standards of medical necessity” for inmates who are insured through the state’s version of Medicaid, Apple Health.

“[Department of Corrections] is a medical provider. We intend to be a high-caliber one,” a representative for the Washington DOC told the DCNF.

“State and federal law govern the services we offer, and our professional staff offer them to the highest standard. It improves the lives of incarcerated individuals to receive comprehensive care, and it serves them to be treated in accordance with the law.”

DRW, which had been in negotiations over the settlement with Washington DOC since 2019, was given $1,500,000 to cover legal fees and costs incurred during the settlement negotiations. It was also given $300,000 annually to ensure the Washington DOC complied with the settlement terms, while the agreement is in effect.

DRW, which has received more than $37 million in federal funds since 1996, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, states on its website that federal funding makes up “a significant portion” of its overall funding.

DRW did not provide the DCNF with a comment regarding the settlement, but did tell the DCNF it did not use federal dollars to fund its work on the Washington DOC settlement.

It’s received multiple grants from the U.S. Department of Education, including a $370,000 grant under the Biden administration which was used to publish a guide instructing transgender Washington DOC inmates on how to legally change their name as part of their “Trans in Prison Justice Project.”

Public records obtained by the DCNF show Washington DOC has been holding monthly “GA” meetings with staff from jails throughout the state, where they discussed how to better provide inmates with “gender affirming services.”

Supreme Court Allows Trump Admin To Enforce Transgender Military Ban

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

The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration on Tuesday to enforce its transgender military ban.

In a 6-3 decision, the majority granted the administration’s request to halt a lower court’s ruling preventing the policy from taking effect.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the administration’s request, according to the order.

In its application, the administration argued that the lower court’s injunction “cannot be squared with the substantial deference that the Department’s professional military judgments are owed.”

“It is undisputed that gender dysphoria is a medical condition associated with clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote April 24.

Judge Benjamin H. Settle, a George W. Bush appointee, found in a March 27 decision that the transgender service members and activist group who challenged the ban were likely to succeed on their claims.

“Because the military has operated smoothly for four years under the Austin Policy, any claimed hardship it may face in the meantime pales in comparison to the hardships imposed on transgender service members and otherwise qualified transgender accession candidates, tipping the balance of hardships sharply toward plaintiffs,” Settle wrote. “There can be few matters of greater public interest in this country than protecting the constitutional rights of its citizens.”

The Department of Defense (DOD) updated its policy in February to state that individuals with gender dysphoria do not meet “the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service.”

The UK Knows What A Woman Is — When Will Democrats Figure It Out?

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

Each era is granted its mass hysteria. Granted, a dancing plague is mild compared to “convincing young girls to cut off healthy body parts” — but signs point to reality reasserting itself.

Look no further than a recent judgment from Britain’s Supreme Court, ruling that men who self-identify as “trans women” are not to be legally regarded as women. The court “holds that the terms ‘man,’ ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ in the EA 2010 refer to biological sex,” reads their press summary.

 

The ruling is hardly a wholesale repudiation of the nonsensical logic which underpins transgender theory. The court draws a distinction between sex and gender, tacitly claiming the latter can be “reassigned” via surgery, and acknowledges “transsexual people” as a protected class.

“On the one hand, women have historically suffered from discrimination in our society and since 1975 have been given statutory protection against discrimination on the ground of sex,” reads the judgment. “On the other hand, the trans community is both historically and currently a vulnerable community.”

Regardless, even the obvious assertion that “men are not women” would have been difficult to eke out of a judiciary during the height of transgender mania.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson infamously claimed she could not define the word “woman” in her confirmation hearing.

“Can I provide a definition? No, I can’t,” said Jackson in response to Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn. “Not in this context, I’m not a biologist.” Britain’s Supreme Court will be stunned and pleased to know they’ve acquired a bachelor’s degree in biology overnight. As will the billions of common-sense human beings who are capable of drawing this fundamental distinction.

Such common-sense people are fed up.

One of Donald Trump’s most effective campaign ads during his 2024 presidential run spoke to this fatigue: “Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you.” Some Democrats, like Democratic Gov. of California Gavin Newsom, appear to be distancing themselves from the contentious issue. Others employ a higher-risk strategy in response to the American people: closing their eyes and covering their ears and whistling really loudly.

Transgenderism was supposed to be the next great frontier of civil rights. It has amounted to nothing more than a puzzling historical footnote with a tragic human cost.

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

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

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.

Last week, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan refused to grant an emergency temporary restraining order (TRO) to halt the work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The underlying lawsuit, State of New Mexico v. Musk, was filed by 14 Democratic state attorneys general (AGs) who have alleged that creating DOGE without congressional approval violated the Constitution’s appointments clause. The AGs argued an immediate TRO was needed to pause DOGE’s work while the merits of their case were decided.

But Judge Chutkan decided they had failed to prove the “clear evidence of imminent, irreparable harm” needed to impose an emergency halt. The status of the TRO notwithstanding, Judge Chutkan ruled the case is legitimate and will proceed. (Perhaps relevant: She was appointed by President Obama and is not a stranger to lawsuits involving Trump.)

State of New Mexico is just one of dozens of lawsuits on multiple issues that were filed against the Trump administration during its first month in office. Many of them target DOGE or are DOGE-adjacent. Others involve the new administration’s crackdown on border security; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs; and federal transgender policies.

The status of these legal challenges changes daily, sometimes hourly. What follows is an effort to explain what the fights are about, not where they stand at the time this is posted.

General Challenges to DOGE

National Council of Nonprofits v. OMB was the first attack on DOGE. It challenged a Trump administration memo that required federal agencies to pause federal grants and payments, pending a review. At the end of January, a federal judge temporarily lifted the moratorium, and the Trump administration rescinded the memo.

The lead plaintiff in the case, National Council of Nonprofits, represents the supposedly “non-governmental organizations” (NGOs) that have paradoxically been major recipients of government loot and account for many of the plaintiffs suing the Trump administration. (Perhaps, we should begin calling these “basically governmental organizations”?)

Co-plaintiffs in National Council include the Main Street Alliance (a cabal of businesses initially built to promote ObamaCare and other Democratic agenda items), the American Public Health Association (a group of health professionals that reliably supports Democratic Party positions on issues such as climate), and Services and Advocacy for Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Elders.

State of New York v. Donald J. Trump is another direct attack on DOGE, this one from 19 Democratic state attorneys general. It seeks to halt the DOGE team’s access to the federal payment system. If successful, this would be an exceptionally efficient way to render DOGE inefficient.

The Trump administration’s pauses and moratoriums directed at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) have been challenged by at least four federal lawsuits:

In each of these four cases judges have granted TROs or other requests to delay implementation of the orders while the lawsuits work their way through the system.

Another employment case, Public Citizen, Inc v. Trump, is the merger of several cases that argue DOGE violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The Trump administration does not believe FACA applies to DOGE, while the plaintiffs argue among other points that DOGE should be subjected to FACA’s requirement to be “fairly balanced” in its leadership.

Plaintiffs in Public Citizen include Public Citizen, the State Democracy Defenders Fund, the American Federation of Government Employees, the American Public Health Association, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the VoteVets Action Fund, the Center for Auto Safety, and the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).

The consolidated Public Citizen case repeatedly references Musk as a “billionaire” and “the world’s richest individual.” The jealousy appeal against Musk’s money isn’t relevant to the dispute any more than the hefty combined annual revenue of his accusers, which exceeds $340 million:

The other Public Citizen co-plaintiff, State Democracy Defenders Fund, was created in 2024 by Democratic Party zampolit Norm Eisen. Suffering from a potentially fatal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, Eisen recently partnered on a new media venture with former Washington Post columnist Jen Rubin. Another TDS sufferer, Rubin quit her newspaper job because the Post wouldn’t endorse Kamala Harris.

EXCLUSIVE: Man Arrested For Allegedly Plotting ‘Mass Casualty’ Event Was ‘Transitioning’ Genders, Police Confirm

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

A Texas man arrested for allegedly planning a “mass casualty event” against law enforcement was “transitioning” genders, a police source confirmed to the Caller.

The FBI’s Houston office announced Monday that it arrested Seth “Andrea” Gregori after he allegedly plotted an attack against police “similar to the 2016 Dallas ambush.” In that 2016 attack, Micah Xavier Johnson ambushed police officers in Dallas, Texas, killing five and wounding nine more in a mass shooting. Johnson was reportedly angry over white police officers shooting black suspects.

Gregori was arrested for allegedly making terroristic threats against Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD) officers, according to a CCPD press release.

Numerous law enforcement releases and news stories referred to Gregori by both the names “Seth” and “Andrea.” The Caller asked CCPD why it used both in its press release.

A CCPD officer said that, based on information they received from the FBI, “it’s our understanding that [Gregori is] transitioning.” Gregori’s driver’s license indicates he is male, but booking information from the Nueces County jail reportedly marks him as “female.”

Both the FBI national press office and Houston field office declined to comment on the matter, referring the Caller to the Nueces County District Attorney’s (DA) Office and “local/state public records.”

Speculation had circulated online that Gregori may be “transgender” because at least two different law enforcement agencies were using different first names when referencing the suspect.

Gregori also appears in pictures with long hair in a mugshot shared by CCPD.

A local news outlet used female pronouns when referring to Gregori. An officer on a joint task force with the FBI was investigating a tip from Feb. 6 according to CCPD, the outlet reported.

Gregori was reportedly friendly with multiple officers and took photos of them, the tipster asserted. Gregori had also recently bought an AR-style rifle, the outlet said.

He was arrested Monday with the rifle in his book bag, according to the outlet, which cited an affidavit.

KENS5 News reported that Gregori allegedly intended to target “white cops” in the CCPD but would leave “Black and Mexican cops alone,” according to the arrest affidavit.

The outlet noted that there “is confusion” over Gregori’s gender.

In 2018, a 14-year-old Seth Gregori and Jonathan Gregori were reported missing by the Corpus Christi Police Detectives. Both were located, according to a press release. Law enforcement said Seth “Andrea” Gregori is currently 21 years old.

A pre-file case in the Nueces County District Attorney’s Office uses the name “Andrea Lozano Gregori.”

The name Andrea is also used in a probable cause statement obtained by the Caller.

According to a Nueces County, Texas public portal, an Andrea Lozano Gregori was charged with multiple misdemeanors in previous years.

The charges include fleeing a police officer in 2023 and criminal trespassing in 2024.

This is a developing story and may be updated with further details.
