NOTABLE QUOTES

Pete McGinnis contributor to American Greatness: Foes to be dominated are American citizens with opinions of their own.

David Randall contributor to American Thinker: I became a conservative after 9/11, and the liberal incapacity to face that event squarely really was the occasion for saying I am no longer a liberal. But it crystallized a deeper conviction: liberals and the Left are at best indifferent to what I love and want to sweep much of it away. The different conservative beliefs are arguments about what particularly to preserve, and what tactics to use to preserve them. But the fundamental conservative conviction is, I want to keep what I love more than I want to change the world. 9/11 made me realize that was what I believed, but I’d been accumulating things to love all my life.

James Woods, actor, on X: They want you in chains. Not visible, but in chains. Electric cars, that can be traced and turned off by them. Electric heat, electronic currency, traceable phones, “cookies,” medical “passports,” masks.

Kevin Downey Jr. contributor to PJ Media: One of my few talents in life is I know how the working-class people in the Midwest think, as I am one of them. I also know how your typical New York City leftist thinks, as I used to be one of those as well. More accurately, I know how a New York City liberal thinks, as I was never a leftist. Those toilet-dwellers are repugnant commies and they are using abortion to take over the nation.

Greg Salsbury contributor to American Thinker: The first Republican debate was a disappointing disaster—for the candidates and America. Not one of the questions addressed the elephant in the room. In fact, the list of questions selected by Fox News, which likely received enthusiastic approval from the Democrat Party, helped highlight the elephant. Candidates were asked about a viral blue grass song, inflation, Ukraine, China, Israel, and other foreign relations issues, crime, energy, the border, climate change, abortion, and more. But as important as these things are, they pale by comparison to the single most important issue, the one posing the greatest threat to our Republic since the 1850s. The greatest threat to our Republic, to our democracy, to our country as we know it is the unholy alliance that has been exposed between the Democrat Party, federal agencies, and the media—resulting in the greatest level of corruption we have ever witnessed.

Melissa MacKenzie contributor to American Spectator: Truth has left the Republican Party, and it’s diminishing them, if that’s even possible. They can talk of the border. They can pontificate about the world-changing necessity of making Ukraine secure. They can tell everyone what they already know: Vladimir Putin is a bad guy. Noted. Now, how about something more pressing and closer to home? How about addressing the criminalization of free speech? How about addressing the conditions of Jan. 6 defendants? How about addressing using the justice system to bankrupt and persecute political enemies? How about addressing the raw, unchecked power being thrown around by the Biden administration?

Lincoln Brown contributor to PJ Media: Well, all I have to say is thank God for California and San Francisco. If it were not for the wild-eyed, hate-filled, borderline-sociopathic tendencies of the left-wing denizens in these locales, the nation might actually begin to heal and focus on making life better. But there is no way to remind a country how important it is to focus on divisions and animosity than by stoking division and animosity. Of course, without hatred and division, all sorts of progressives could find their jobs and egos at risk.

Michael Robillard contributor to The American Mind: We do persons suffering from the medical condition of dysphoria no good whatsoever by further enabling their cognitive errors and delusions, nor do we help them in any way by attempting to strong-arm the rest of society into denying biological reality and logic itself in an attempt to accord with an inexpressible and unintelligible standard. In so doing, we only harm such persons and all of the rest of society in the process. The consequence of allowing pseudo-claims involving the nonsensical concept of “gender” to be codified into official U.S. law will not only be to violate citizens’ actual rights but to sanction nothing less than the abolition of men, women, and truth itself.

Hillary Vaughn reporter for Fox Business News in an exchange with  WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre:  “The President has granddaughters. Does he care that girls are allowed to compete in sports without the fear of injury? Does he think it’s fair for girls to have to compete against biological males?” Jean-Pierre responded, “This is a complicated issue . . . there is no yes or no answer to this.”

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CANCEL THE FIRST AMENDMENT

McGinnis: Docs Offer Glimpse Inside Censorship Industrial Complex

elcome to the Censorship Industrial Complex. It’s rather like the old “military industrial complex,” which was shorthand for the military, private companies, and academia working together to achieve U.S. battlefield dominance, with the R&D funded by the government that buys the final product. But the censorship industrial complex builds algorithms, not bombers. The players aren’t Raytheon and Boeing, but social media companies, tech startups, and universities and their institutes. The foes to be dominated are American citizens whose opinions diverge from government narratives on issues ranging from COVID-19 responses to electoral fraud to transgenderism. When first exposed a few months ago, many of the actors and their media defenders perversely claimed that they, as private entities, were acting out of concern for “democracy” and exercising their own First Amendment rights.

However, the records and correspondence of an advisory committee to an obscure government agency tell a different story.

Laila: Man Was Arrested and Charged with Felony Terrorism For Covid Joke in 2020. It Was Protected Speech Under First Amendment, Court Rules

Waylon Bailey was arrested and charged with felony terrorism in March 2020 for posting a Covid joke to his Facebook page. Bailey’s post was an obvious joke. He even referenced “World War Z,” a 2013 zombie apocalypse movie starring Brad Pitt. […] Within hours, a dozen SWAT officers in bulletproof vests from the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office showed up to Bailey’s Alexandria, Lousianna home and arrested him without a warrant. Bailey was arrested and charged with felony terrorism for posting a joke on his Facebook page. He was released on a $1,200 bond and the DA decided not to prosecute him. Still, the news of the arrest upended his life so he decided to pursue legal action against the Sheriff. In September 2020 Bailey filed a lawsuit accusing Detective Randell Iles and Sheriff Mark Wood of violating his First and Fourth Amendment rights. In July 2022, US District Judge for the Western District of Louisiana, David Joseph, dismissed Waylon Bailey’s claims and ruled the Sheriff was protected under qualified immunity which shields government officials from liability unless it can be proven they violated the Constitution. Bailey appealed the judge’s decision and on Friday, the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled his Covid joke was indeed protected speech under the First Amendment.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY

Bannister: 11 Instances of Special Treatment for Hunter Biden – ‘And Numerous Others’ – by Weiss Cited by House Chairs in Letter to AG Garland

Before being named special counsel in the case, U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ office repeatedly gave preferential treatment in the investigation of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, three House committee chairmen note in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland. In their letter, Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) and Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith call (R-MO) on Garland to provide all documents and communications referring or relating to Garland’s appointment of Weiss as special counsel. “The Department pulled punches in this investigation, handicapping veteran investigators and preventing them from freely pursuing the facts,” says the letter to Attorney General Garland. “Since the early days of its investigation concerning Hunter Biden, DOJ has deviated from its standard investigative procedure and afforded Hunter Biden special privileges not afforded to other Americans,” the letter says, detailing 11 specific instances of preferential treatment:

Brown: How the Trump Indictments Destroy the Constitution

Perhaps the greatest danger emerging from the maniacal prosecutions against President Trump involves the left’s all-out war against Trump’s lawyers, which marks a broader constitutional threat to all Americans. […] Smith’s sixty-page superseding indictment reveals three unnamed former “Trump Attorneys,” Trump Attorneys 1 (Corcoran), 2, and 3, whom Smith plans to rely on at trial. Thus, Smith takes a hot blowtorch to the attorney-client privilege, pitting lawyers against clients. As to the lawyers’ backstabbing their client, somewhere beyond the gates of hell, Brutus, Fuchs, Alcibiades, the Rosenbergs, and Benedict Arnold, history’s most notorious traitors, pop open the champagne, as the DOJ flips these turncoat-lawyer-clowns like pancakes on a scorching hot griddle. But Smith didn’t stop in Florida. […] Smith, by attacking Trump’s lawyers, attacks constitutional protections established by our founding fathers.  Congress must defund Smith and his operations and, if necessary, even defund the DOJ.

McCann: Trump: Victim of a Radically Transformed Federal Judiciary

The judicial persecution of Donald Trump has exposed the blatant political bias that animates many Federal District Court judges. Packing the Federal Judiciary at all levels with left-wing judges is the cornerstone of the Marxist Democrat Party strategy to permanently transform America.  If they win the presidency in 2024, they will have succeeded in packing the Federal Judiciary by the end of the term on January 20, 2029.  This process began in earnest with Barack Obama. He came into office determined to fill the judiciary with left-wing judges, and he succeeded, as virtually every one of his appointments has revealed their bias and leftist ideology while serving on the various courts. Joe Biden has followed in Obama’s footsteps by nominating equally if not more ideologically bound left-wing judges. The following federal judges are not animated by upholding the law or the Constitution but instead are motivated by political considerations and their allegiance to statist ideology.

Revolver.news: Paul Sperry drops three juicy rumors on Jack Smith’s flimsy case against Trump…

Jack Smith, the regime’s latest chew toy, isn’t exactly known for being a shrewd or meticulous attorney. In fact, Mr. Smith has the dubious honor of having one of his biggest cases unanimously overturned by the Supreme Court. So, when we hear whispers about the shaky foundations of his case(s) against President Trump, our ears definitely perk up. This is a guy who isn’t known for attention to detail — a flaw that may come back to haunt him big time as he attempts to carry out the regime’s agenda and put President Trump behind bars for good. Today, we get these interesting little nuggets of information from investigative journalist Paul Sperry, who recently shared three particularly eye-catching rumors on X (Twitter).

Sundance: Secretaries of Several States Begin Legal Review to Determine if They Can Disqualify President Trump from 2024 Ballot

Consider this question carefully: “What possible stakes could be so high the DC UniParty would be willing to prove, beyond any doubt, that the ability of Americans to vote their way out of any problem no longer exists?” This is the question which should underpin the stories you are hearing and reading about various secretaries of state beginning to structure election rules to disqualify President Trump from ballot access. Why are state governments willing to prove to Americans that voting will not be the method to retain a constitutional republic? My elevator encapsulated short answer…. This is the fundamental change, Barack Obama promised to deliver.

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES & THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE APPARATUS

Sadler: Pro-life rescuers immediately incarcerated following jury’s guilty verdict in DC FACE Act trial

A jury on Tuesday found five pro-life activists guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and conspiracy against rights. They were immediately incarcerated following the verdict and could face more than a decade in prison for their efforts to prevent women from killing their pre-born babies. In a statement to LifeSiteNews at the courthouse on Tuesday, defendant William Goodman urged his supporters “to forgive the jury, the judge, and all those who witnessed against us, and to pray that they would see how God loves the gift of every human life.” All the defendants were led away and Goodman was handcuffed after the judge determined that the rescuers must be immediately detained pending sentencing since the nature of the FACE Act violation amounted to a “crime of violence.”

Revolver.news: Calls to shut down DC US Attorney’s office, FBI field office, and federal court after pro-lifers thrown in regime gulag…

There’s widespread demand to shutdown D.C.’s U.S. Attorney’s office, FBI field office, and Federal court. This comes after these weaponized institutions unjustly convicted five pro-life activists of conspiracy for blocking an entrance to an abortion clinic. These individuals now face up to eleven years in prison.

Yes, eleven years… […] The defendants each face up to a maximum of 11 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $350,000. U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who presided over the trial, ordered the defendants immediately detained as required by statute. Sentencing will be scheduled at a later date. […] Let’s not forget the unchecked actions of BLM activists in D.C., where they’ve blocked highways and even obstructed emergency vehicles from reaching hospitals. Add to that Antifa protesters who disrupt traffic and resort to violence while advocating for abortion, all while seemingly facing no real legal consequences whatsoever. […] Journalist Julie Kelly is calling for the shutdown of these compromised, weaponized, and unjust institutions entrenched in the Swamp. Here’s what she had to say in a tweet:

PROJECT 2025: A CLARION CALL

(A must read) Mascaro: Conservative groups draw up plan to dismantle the U.S. government and replace it with Trump’s vision

With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White House term for Donald Trump, recruiting thousands of Americans to come to Washington on a mission to dismantle the federal government and replace it with a vision closer to his own. Led by the long-established Heritage Foundation think tank and fueled by former Trump administration officials, the far-reaching effort is essentially a government-in-waiting for the former president’s return — or any candidate who aligns with their ideals and can defeat President Biden in 2024.

With a nearly 1,000-page “Project 2025” handbook and an “army” of Americans, the idea is to have the civic infrastructure in place on Day One to commandeer, reshape and do away with what Republicans deride as the “deep state” bureaucracy, in part by firing as many as 50,000 federal workers. “We need to flood the zone with conservatives,” said Paul Dans, director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project and a former Trump administration official who speaks with historical flourish about the undertaking. “This is a clarion call to come to Washington,” he said. “People need to lay down their tools, and step aside from their professional life and say, ‘This is my lifetime moment to serve.’” The unprecedented effort is being orchestrated with dozens of . . .

U.S. SUPREME COURT

Robillard: Gendered Language

The Supreme Court succumbs to a fatal error in reasoning. Last month, the Supreme Court declined to review a federal appeals court ruling that would grant certain protections to persons suffering from gender dysphoria under the Americans With Disabilities Act. The decision itself will further entrench “gender identity” as the newest protected category under civil rights law, laying the table for numerous infringements of religious and civil liberties for Americans on the other side of this divide. But there is an even more unsettling and revealing aspect of this case: simply by discussing “transgender persons” as if the term had a stable and meaningful referent, conservative and liberal justices alike revealed that they had accepted a fundamental error in reasoning that threatens to undermine the very heart of American justice and America itself. This most recent ruling, as well as previous statements made by both U.S. Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Ketanji Brown Jackson, suggests a subtle yet catastrophic mistaken assumption about how concepts, language, and meaning fundamentally work. The chief error in their reasoning, which persists within the present transgender debate more broadly, hinges on a fundamental equivocation between the concept of “gender” (in the sense of socially-constructed and therefore publicly determined roles, expectations, and norms of behavior) and “gender identity” (in the sense of in-principle privately determined meaning), both equally denoted and often conflated with one another under the same generic canopy term, “gender.”

TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE DOOM MYTH: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE  POWER & CONTROL

(H/T DG) Athrappully: Over 1,600 Scientists Sign ‘No Climate Emergency’ Declaration

International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing the existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth, contrary to the popular alarmist narrative. “There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in August. “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.” A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the world have signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States. The coalition pointed out that Earth’s climate has varied as long as it has existed, with the planet experiencing several cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age only ended as recently as 1850, they said. “Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming,” the declaration said. […] Climate change policies have been used to justify sweeping lifestyle changes across the United States by the Energy Department, like restricting home appliances, and sometimes, even outright banning them.

Ring: Saving the Environment from Environmentalists

Environmentalism in 21st century America has very little to do anymore with the environment. If you want to know just how far the environmentalist movement has fallen in recent years, the destruction of marine life off the coast of Massachusetts in 2023 provides a disgraceful example. Greenpeace, an organization that not only led the earliest vanguard of the modern environmental movement, but was specifically formed to save the world’s whales, is actively denying what is likely the most egregious massacre of whales by Americans in more than a century. Greenpeace is not alone. This shameful demonstration of mass deceit is on full display by all the organizations that supposedly exist to protect wilderness and wildlife, along with the media that marches in lockstep with their every whim. As usual, a Google search turns up a nearly monolithic edifice of articles decrying the “anti-renewables” lobby for their “misinformation.” […] “Clean technology” is a good idea, but often horrific in practice. There’s nothing remotely competitive about offshore wind energy, although you’ll have to work awfully hard to find anything but pollyanna prognostications in a Google search. But a well researched article published earlier this year by David Turner, “Exploding the Cheap Offshore Wind Fantasy,” exposes the inconvenient truths about this destructive boondoggle. The corrosive power of saltwater and salt-laden sea air make maintenance of offshore turbines an expensive proposition that only increases over time. Accessing these turbines for maintenance is impossible during heavy storm events when repairs are often most needed. Turner estimates the useful economic life for these fabulously expensive leviathans at a mere 12 years. Equally daunting facts surround the actual productivity of these offshore wind farms. The biggest offshore turbines currently available generate 10 megawatts. They stand over 1,000 feet tall and require about one square mile each in order to maximize efficiency by not cannibalizing wind needed to drive nearby rotors.

THE SECOND REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY DEBATE

The next Republican presidential primary debate takes place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, FOX News Media announced. The debate will air on September 27 from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET

Greenfield: Why is Ilia Calderon, a Leftist, Moderating a GOP Debate?

It’s the second debate and the same patterns are emerging yet again. The RNC promised that it would be different this time. There would be no more leftist moderators hijacking Republican debates. Fox News Media’s Stuart Varney and Dana Perino alongside UNIVISION’s Ilia Calderón will be the co-moderators of the second Republican debate, the networks announced on Wednesday. Why in the world is Calderon there? Do Democrats allow conservative journalists to moderate their debates? Ilia Calderon is a spiteful and hateful leftist who previously moderated a Democrat debate. She has tweeted attacks against Trump and DeSantis. But primarily Calderon is an advocate for illegal aliens.

(Assessing the first primary debate) ) MacKenzie: An Inconvenient Trump: Republicans Are Living an Enormous Lie

The rule of law has been crushed in America, while the GOP in pointless debate wonders if it can dare pardon the former president. The Republican primary debate charade, hosted by a hapless Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, revealed two things: Vivek Ramaswamy is a rising star, and Donald Trump dominated as the elephant not in the room. The Democrats and the media run a constant clown show, but the Republicans play along as useless puppets, willfully participating in a system designed to destroy them. The Republican party is allowing itself to be rigged by playing by the rules of an old system that no longer exists. The Democrats, bureaucracy, and media are vicious apparatchiks. They are a dirty and obvious enemy who clearly need to be fought. The Republicans are worse because they don’t see their own participation in the Big Lie. They would rather step over Trump’s dead political body than save the republic. In so doing, they will never have power again, even if they regain it. They will be vassals of the state apparatus, nothing more … or else.

Donald Trump is not the Republican front runner. He’s the presumptive nominee. Further, he’s the most popular politician in America. Trump created a coalition that made the Rust Belt winnable. He turned Ohio, Florida, and Iowa reliably red. He made Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin gettable. In Florida, he out-won Ron DeSantis by 1 million votes. Why the all-out assault on Donald Trump? Because in a fair system, he wins — and he wins bigly. The assault on Trump and anyone who supported him is an attack on the only one standing in the way of generations of Democrat power, and the Republicans are pretending that America and the Republican Party can return to a Bush-era neocon Republicanism that simply doesn’t exist anymore outside the beltway. How, pray tell, would any of the Republicans on the debate stage win in the general election? Where do they win, and how do they expand Trump’s coalition? Is their big strategy to win back Georgia and Arizona? […] The debate questions were inane. […] Where were the questions about Biden’s corruption?

Fitzgerald: Republican Senators Demand Answers On $6 Billion Prisoner Swap With Iran

Demonstrating yet again their ineptitude, the Bidenites have let themselves be hornswoggled by those masters at bazaari bargaining, the gimlet-eyed hagglers of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In a deal that should leave us all in despair, the Bidenites have agreed to have South Korea unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian assets it had been holding, and to deliver the money to Tehran, which, in turn, will let six Iranian-American hostages go free. That’s one billion dollars apiece. What a deal! More than two dozen Republican Senators have now written a letter to Secretary of State Blinken and Secretary of the Treasury Yellen about the deal, questioning both its wisdom and its legality.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE U.S. MILITARY

Bergman: Military Whistleblower Exposes Huge Heart Failure Spike in Vaxxed Personnel

A military whistleblower is going public to warn the American people about a huge spike in cases of heart failure among vaxxed service members. The brave whistleblower has chosen to shun anonymity and identified himself as active-duty Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie. Earlier this year, Macie anonymously disclosed data from a Pentagon medical database showing a spike in the rate of myocarditis in the military in 2021. According to Macie, cases of myocarditis skyrocketed after the military mandated COVID-19 vaccines for service members. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin mandated the vaccines in 2021, a requirement that remained in place until Congress forced its withdrawal in late 2022. […] He has also released new data showing a substantial rise in accidents, assaults, self-harm, and suicide attempts in the military in 2021. The data shows a significant spike compared to the average from 2016 to 2021.

This includes a 147 percent increase in intentional self-harm incidents among service members. There is also a massive 828 percent increase in injuries from assaults. Lt. Macie revealed that he started “keeping an eye on” a defense medical database when another whistleblower alerted him to soaring health-related incidents in the winter of 2021/2022.

The idea that “you will own nothing and be happy” is coming to fruition.

Not only are they attempting to rid Americans of all their earthly possessions, but they’re blaming them for wanting those possessions in the first place. Glenn references a recent article from Axios, titled “The Problem With America’s High Homeownership Rate,” which claims that “America’s decades-long love affair with home ownership is holding back the economy and hobbling the Federal Reserve and exacerbating a national housing crisis.”

CNN: Exclusive: Smuggler with ties to ISIS helped migrants enter US from Mexico, raising alarm bells across government

The FBI is investigating more than a dozen migrants from Uzbekistan and other countries allowed into the US after they sought asylum at the southern border with Mexico earlier this year, a scramble set off when US intelligence officials found that the migrants traveled with the help of a smuggler with ties to ISIS, according to multiple US officials. While the FBI says no specific ISIS plot has been identified, officials are still working to “identify and assess” all of the individuals who gained entry to the United States, according to a statement from National Security Council spokesman Adrienne Watson. And they are closely scrutinizing a number of the migrants as possible criminal threats, according to two US officials.

She was brave enough to reach out to me, get a lawyer, and get this story out there. What is the government run school hiding that it would require parents to sign nondisclosure agreements?

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: SEVER THE PARENT-CHILD BOND

Sand: Parents Revolt Against Trans-Missionaries

As I noted recently, fads aren’t always harmful things. Nehru jackets, lava lamps, and mood rings may have set you back a few bucks, but that was the extent of it. Some fads, like the various eating disorders that were with us in the 1970s, were recognized as dangerous and treated as mental health problems. Today, though, becoming transsexual is treated simply as a lifestyle decision. But as Jordan Peterson, a clinical psychologist, points out, “Trans is clearly identifiable as a fad, comparable to preceding fads, or ‘transmissible psychological diseases,’ like outbreaks of alleged multiple personality disorder, hysteria, self-mutilation, and anorexia. The typical victim is a young female with an underlying neurosis that seeks a socially acceptable form of expression. These forms of expression vary with the times.” Peterson goes on to say that the current trans fad will be viewed as we now view lobotomies. […] Unlike most fads, the trans variety is being promoted in our government schools, and many of them try to conceal the student’s condition from parents. In fact, as of now, 1,040 school districts across the country have adopted policies instructing or encouraging faculty and staff to keep students’ gender identities a secret from parents, according to Parents Defending Education. Those 1,040 districts include 18,335 schools and a whopping 10,712,558 students. It should come as no surprise that 593 of the districts are in California. […] But if you are a parent who lives in an area where the state guidance on parental disclosure is followed, what can you do?

Korte: California is suing to stop schools from outing trans kids to their parents

State Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit Monday to stop a Southern California school district from outing transgender students to their parents, arguing that the policy violates students’ civil and constitutional rights and could cause them “mental emotional, psychological, and potential physical harm.”

Bonta’s suit against the Chino Valley Unified School District is the latest attempt by Democratic state officials to combat the recent adoption of such policies by conservative school boards. The outcome of the case could have bearing on other districts that have enacted similar rules in the last two months, including Murrieta Valley, Temecula and Anderson Union High School.

JAMES O’KEEFE STRIKES AGAIN

BREAKING: O’Keefe Media Group: Police Bodycam Footage Shows NJ School Board Officals Calling Police on Citizens Who Look “Trumpish” (VIDEO)

O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released 20 minutes of police bodycam footage showing New Jersey school board officials calling the police on citizens they don’t recognize who look “Trumpish.” “The police colluded with school officials to scan license plates of school board meeting attendees who looked different,” James O’Keefe said. OMG obtained the recordings through FOIA requests. This is the first in a series of police body cam recordings, James O’Keefe said.

COVID-19-REDUX: BRACE YOURSELVES

Berenson: VERY URGENT: The mRNA Covid jabs damage immune responses to other viruses in children, a new study finds

Kids who got Pfizer’s mRNA Covid jabs had a weakened immune response to other viruses and bacteria, Australian researchers reported in a study published last week. The diminished response appeared within weeks after the second Pfizer dose, the authors found. Blood taken from the children produced fewer crucial signaling molecules when stimulated with several common potential bacteria and viruses. Over time, the immune response to bacteria returned to normal. But the diminished response to viruses lasted at least six months, for as long as the researchers collected data. “Our study showed that, in children, SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination decreases inflammatory cytokine responses,” the authors wrote. […] The peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Immunology published the paper. In keeping with other papers that have reported disturbing findings about the mRNAs, the study’s authors were careful to tiptoe around the potential impact of their data. […] But several physicians who reviewed the study independently for Unreported Truths said they found it very troubling.

Berenson: A 10-point primer on why the mRNA Covid shots are different from and riskier than other vaccines

Many of you have asked for something like this since 2021, usually not for yourselves as much as family members or friends, or sometimes to present at public hearings around the Covid jabs. It’s all on the Stack in some form, but sometimes I forget that not everyone has time to read every word of Unreported Truths with the incredibly close attention it of course deserves. (Yesterday’s news wraps tomorrow’s fish, as wise reporters used to say.) So without further ado, here are 10 crucial facts about the mRNAs – the Covid shots from Pfizer and Moderna, the only jabs in wide circulation in the United States. The list is essentially chronological, from concept through trial to widespread use.

1: mRNAs are not vaccines in any traditional sense. They work in a very different way.

2: Before 2020 mRNA biotechnology was – at best – several years from use outside clinical trials. The scientists working on it were struggling with the risks of repeated dosing.

3: The two large clinical trials in 2020 from Pfizer and Moderna that led to the approval of the mRNAs did NOT show that they reduced deaths from Covid, or from other causes.

Bolyard: The COVID-19 Alarmists Want You Ignorant and Obedient

As we at PJ Media have been warning for some months, the medical alarmists are warming up their scare machines just as children return to school and the weather is beginning to turn cooler—conveniently, just in time for the 2024 primaries, which are just a few months away. Joe Biden is asking Congress for more money for a new vaccine that will be “necessary,” whatever that means. [Narrator: We know what that means.] The supercilious mask patrols are dusting off their badges and rattling their swords, eager to lord it over their fellow Americans who refuse to go through life terrified, beaten down, and forced into compliance with draconian COVID-19 measures. One of the “tells” of the coming lockdowns and vax mandates is that the fact-checkers are escalating their attacks on the free flow of information. […] What kinds of articles are they demonetizing? Here are just a few, with all of them being flagged for “unreliable and harmful claims”: First up is this article from Robert Spencer calling out California congressional candidate Steve Cox, who said this about anti-vaxxers: Whenever anyone says “we all die from something” (or a variation thereof) to justify not taking precautions to help protect others in this pandemic, we should be allowed to shoot them. “Why are you crying? We all die from something.” For you, it’s that bullet in your gut. [Emphasis added] But we’re the bad guys for calling out this thug.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON BIOLOGICAL WOMEN

Van Maren: Transgender activists are full of cruel disregard for the concerns of women and girls

The primary characteristic of transgender activists is an unyielding misogynistic cruelty. One of the key characteristics of transgender activists and their supporters is a complete and cruel contempt for the experiences of girls and women. I’ve covered what feels like countless examples in this space over the past half-decade or so, and the story is nearly always similar: girls speak out against men in their spaces; trans activists shout them down, call them “privileged,” make racist accusations about “white girls,” and mock their fears of sexual assault. In many instances, even their actual cited experiences of sexual assault are scorned. I’m not merely “nut-picking” examples of the worst behavior here. I once posted a video of a teenage girl fighting to hold back tears after her school board voted to allow trans-identifying males into her changeroom. She wasn’t a bigot, she explained. She just didn’t want a male to see her naked.

O’Keefe & Watson: Manchin and his daughter pitching donors on a centrist political group, source says

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and his daughter, former pharmaceutical executive Heather Manchin Bresch, are pitching wealthy political donors on the possibility of launching a centrist political group designed to focus on curbing federal spending, improving domestic energy production, tightening border security and fighting crime, a person familiar with the planning told CBS News. Whether the organization is designed to buoy Manchin, 76, serve as a political party or merely support other moderate Democrats and Republicans is unclear.
