Daily News Roundup
NOTABLE QUOTES
Joseph Pearce contributor to The Imaginative Conservative: It is all too easy in the darkened days and daze in which we live to become despondent. It is all too easy to forget the happy ending that is promised to those who keep faith in the God of the happy ever after. We who are not dumb and witless do not always need to be grave. We are creatures of a good-humoured God. There is every reason to laugh and fear not!
Mike McCormick Substack: Once again with Obama we see a public posturing for justice and anti-corruption undercut by his and Joe’s secret criminal activity.
Peachy Keene contributor to the American Mind: Color revolutions have finally come to the United States, courtesy of our leaders. The target is clear: weak red state governments which are going to be toppled, one by one.
Neland Nobel Editor-at-Large of The Prickly Pear: No one can speak seriously about dealing with chronic deficits and chronic inflation unless they are willing to talk about entitlement reform in both Social Security and Medicare. It simply can’t be done. These two social “entitlement” programs are already about 50% of all spending and along with interest (caused by the rising deficit) will be the source of 79% of new spending.
Scott Morefield contributor to Frontpage Magazine: To woke leftists, dissidents aren’t just people with a different opinion; they are evil enemies to be exposed and punished for their heresy. No branch of Christianity has been quite like that since I don’t know … the Spanish Inquisition? In fact, unlike Islam, Christian zealot movements of any kind haven’t seen real political power anywhere in hundreds of years. Woke leftists, on the other hand, control almost all large private, public, and political institutions across the entire West and are angling for far more. They are even attempting to undermine – quite successfully – what’s left of Christianity.
Isaac Simpson’s The Carousel Substack: . . .Bud Light put a Theater Kid on its iconic blue can. Just one step too far. The perfect humiliation. The ultimate symbol of the American working class painted over with a performative homosexual influencer. There was simply no capitalist explanation. In no world would gay elites and Brooklyn dog moms ever drink Bud Light, and no reasonable marketing person could think otherwise. Even my most centrist, reasonable, rational friends texted me. “Wow…I thought this was an April Fool’s joke…this is insane!” It will be remembered as a tipping point.
ssues & Insights Editorial Board: Vast swaths of the public are today afraid to express their views for fear of being canceled, attacked for not toeing the accepted narrative, sued for adhering to their faith. How long will it be before dissent is criminalized in this country?
Professor Rob Jenkins contributor to Campus reform: We also need to stop using “transgender,” except inside quotation marks to indicate it’s their absurdity, not ours. It might take longer to say “a man suffering from the delusion that he’s a woman” (hat tip: Daily Wirehost Andrew Klavan), but it’s more honest and accurate.
Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh: contributor to Canada Free Press: Watching survivalists choke down crickets, worms, other bugs convinced me that the globalist plan to destroy our food sources and supply and replace them with farmed bugs in the name of saving the planet from an invented global warming is not for me
Issues & Insights Editorial Board: Our working assumption is that the results of the incredibly divisive 2020 election would be a good barometer of the devoutly held political views in those counties. What we found was striking: There has been a vast migration out of counties that voted for Joe Biden into those counties that voted to reelect Donald Trump.
Jane Guenther Parent contributor to American Greatness: Our first lady is not a queen, but she nevertheless represents the United States of America and what she wears abroad matters. Anyone who has been paying attention to the first lady’s fashion choices over the past two years is right to be apprehensive. Will she be decked out in another lumpy sofa patterned floral, something too shiny and sequined, her pixelated “Minecraft” dress with sneakers, or patterned hooker tights? Jill has proudly stated she does not work with a stylist (“it’s all her”), which means she will doubtless bring her very own Scranton Chic ™️ style to the coronation. But on behalf of the country she will represent, I’m begging her: seek professional help.

Greenfield: How Bush’s Globalism Gave Us a Transgender Bud Lite
The story of how Budweiser went from a patriotic traditional values company to launching a creepy Bud Lite campaign featuring Dylan Mulvaney, a man who claims to be a little girl, began with the Bush administration when, after 150 years, Anheuser-Busch ceased to be an American company. Today it’s just another subsidiary of a Belgian-Brazilian multinational. Except for its St. Louis employees, few noticed the difference when Anheuser-Busch became InBev, and the United States government failed to object to the hostile takeover. While the majority of Americans, and the governor of Missouri, opposed the move, the Bush administration did not. The media fashionably sneered at a campaign against the hostile takeover which called for fighting the “foreign invasion”. Eventually the company surrendered. The Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed declaring, “Why John McCain Should Embrace Anheuser’s Foreign Takeover”. (Cindy McCain was a major shareholder.) The Journal urged, “free trade and globalization are in the national interest. So is the sale of Anheuser-Busch to InBev.” How does the national interest look now? Would the Journal care to rethink its position? […] Bush Republicans allowed America’s crown jewels to be sold off and taken over by foreign companies. Now they’re wondering why those companies seem hostile to American values. Why wouldn’t they be? They’re not American. And they don’t even like us much.

TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE POWER & CONTROL
Bradstock: Wind Power Has A Profitability Problem
Despite the strong push to shift to green by installing more renewable energy capacity, many are asking whether the wind energy industry will be able to bounce back quickly from huge losses last year to develop the wind power needed to fuel the green transition. In 2022, several major wind energy firms reported billions in losses due to a plethora of challenges that have made it harder to develop new wind farms worldwide. Now the fear is that companies around the globe may be unwilling to invest in the wind projects needed to accelerate the movement away from fossil fuels to green alternatives if they cannot see the potential for profits.

Greenfield: How the EPA Turned into a Toxic Leftist Slush Fund
Could there be anything ‘cleaner’ and ‘greener’ than billions in payoffs? When the EPA announced that it was launching a completely unnecessary Office of Environmental Justice, the move was hailed by Beverly Wright: the head of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice. And the EPA’s press release quoted the leftist activist. Now the new office will be sending at least $10 million to the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice as part of billions in a slush fund to be distributed to leftist groups. The Biden administration’s incredibly corrupt $740 billion ‘Inflation Increase Act’, which badly worsened the nation’s economic situation, was a black hole of grift and graft.

Klarenberg: Bombshell filing: 9/11 hijackers were CIA recruits
At least two 9/11 hijackers had been recruited into a joint CIA-Saudi intelligence operation that was covered up at the highest level, according to an explosive new court filing. A newly-released court filing raises grave questions about the relationship between Alec Station, a CIA unit set up to track Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and his associates, and two 9/11 hijackers leading up to the attacks, which was subject to a coverup at the highest levels of the FBI. Obtained by SpyTalk, the filing is a 21-page declaration by Don Canestraro, a lead investigator for the Office of Military Commissions, the legal body overseeing the cases of 9/11 defendants. […] When originally released in 2021 on the Office’s public court docket, every part of the document was redacted except an “unclassified” marking. Given its explosive contents, it is not difficult to see why: as Canestraro’s investigation concluded, at least two 9/11 hijackers had been recruited either knowingly or unknowingly into a joint CIA-Saudi intelligence operation which may have gone awry.

Glass: The Great Society Before the Great Reset
THE GREAT SOCIETY – before the Great RESET – was created by Lyndon Johnson after the assassination of John F Kennedy who wouldn’t bow to the CIA. The Corporation For Public Broadcasting was created in 1967 to control the entirety of Media for Americans. In 1970 CPB formed NPR with 88 subsidiary outlets. Their purpose was ‘content’. In 1979, NPR expanded to London solidifying the alliance between the CIA and MI6. By 1983, NPR was operating on a budget deficit despite continued expanded funding from US Taxpayers. The two largest benefactors of NPR in the 2000’s were Soros Open Society Foundation and Joan Croc who donated $225 million in 2003. At this point NPR became well known as a left leaning to far left broadcaster embroiled in bias. And the Great Society Deal which was supposed to be a reincarnation of FDR’s New Deal was busily recreating America’s internal political landscape. A transition that would forever change our landscape. Likely – irreversibly. Both the House and the Senate enjoyed a liberal majority which included the jewish vote which had become a prominent constituent. Johnson took advantage of every loop, corner, and free crossing to enact 100’s of ‘committees’ and ‘agencies’ to study every aspect of society in order to recreate it. Committees and Agencies that did little, accomplished less, and ate money like 1000 PacMen on steroids. The Great Society initiatives and Johnson’s Cabinet set about to . . .

Kaminsky: Disinformation Inc: Massive corporation Oracle severs ties with conservative blacklist group
The multinational software company Oracle is cutting ties with the Global Disinformation Index, a State Department-funded group that the Washington Examiner revealed has been secretly blacklisting conservative media outlets. “After conducting a review, we agree with others in the advertising industry that the services we provide marketers must be in full support of free speech, which is why we are ending our relationship with GDI,” Michael Egbert, vice president for corporate communications at Oracle, said in a statement on Wednesday to the Washington Examiner. Oracle announced a “collaboration” in 2021 with GDI, which has continued to come under fire from Republican lawmakers in connection to its covert operation of feeding blacklists of conservative websites to advertisers with the intent of shutting down disfavored speech. Egbert declined to comment on whether it has yet notified the British organization, which has two affiliated American nonprofit groups, and whether the action is effective immediately.
DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CANCEL THE SECOND AMENDMENT
Baumann: Semi-automatic rifle ban passes Washington state Legislature
A ban on dozens of semi-automatic rifles cleared the Washington state Legislature on Wednesday and the governor is expected to sign it into law. The high-powered firearms — once banned nationwide — are now the weapon of choice among young men responsible for most of the country’s devastating mass shootings. The ban comes after multiple failed attempts in the state’s Legislature, and amid the most mass shootings during the first 100 days of a calendar year since 2009. The Washington law would block the sale, distribution, manufacture and importation of more than 50 gun models, including AR-15s, AK-47s and similar style rifles. […] Nine states including California, New York and Massachusetts, along with the District of Columbia, have already passed similar bans, and the laws have been upheld as constitutional by the courts, according to Washington’s Attorney General Bob Ferguson.
In Colorado, lawmakers debated on Wednesday about similar gun measures, but a sweeping ban on semi-automatic firearms faces stiffer odds.

2024 REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY
Nobel: Trump Is Out of Line
You probably have noticed television ads attacking Ron DeSantis from groups supporting Donald Trump. One of these ads “You don’t know Ron DeSantis” goes after the Florida Governor for voting for changes in Social Security and Medicare while DeSantis served in Congress. It is certainly fine with us if politicians point out their differences with each other in the primary season. However, the 11th Commandment from Ronald Reagan should be observed. The Gipper’s wisdom was that one should not attack a fellow Republican. Point out differences for sure, but don’t attack the integrity of the other candidate.
[…] Trump is no longer an outsider and has to use flying elbows to get position under the basketball hoop to make a shot. He is the titular head of the party. He is a former President and thus has a good position to start with. This is not like the first time he ran, as a complete “outsider.”
However, that is not the chief reason for concern about this ad. What is most bothersome is that it is just this kind of demagoguery that has driven much of America’s deficit crisis and stifled any attempts to fix a very serious problem. The reason is if you want to be serious about fixing the deficit, and all the spin-off problems it causes ( inflation,wealth redistribution, capital markets distortion, accounting distortion, savings destruction, intergenerational transfers, Federal Reserve hyper-interventionist action, rising interest rates, and generally the problem of enormous government and citizen dependence on the state), you have to go where the spending is. […] The Democrats have made any discussion of reform of these programs the third rail of American politics. Even by bringing up the subject of the need to reform these programs, you are basically committing political suicide.

U.S. SUPREME COURT
(4/18/23) Bjornstrom: Everything you need to know ahead of Wednesday’s Supreme Court ruling on abortion pills
Chemical abortions were more than half of all US abortions in 2020, possibly 60% or more now according to recent estimates. Federal court cases are pending in Texas and Washington relating to the validity of the FDA’s 2000 approval of the abortion drug mifepristone and the FDA’s 2016-2023 rule changes that loosened restrictions on chemical abortion procedures. The Supreme Court will decide whether or not to roll back the FDA’s drastic post-2016 expansion of chemical abortions. This would be a temporary hold (“stay” order) until those issues can be litigated more fully in the lower courts. Or the Court could allow chemical abortions to continue as usual while the lower Courts do their job. In any case, chemical abortions may be significantly more restricted this week, or not, depending on the Supreme Court. Here’s what you should know: . . . [Note: The Supreme Court on Wednesday delayed the implementation of restrictions on the availability of abortion drug mifepristone through at least Friday. Associate Justice Samuel Alito announced the delay, according to The Hill. Alito is responsible for appeals from the 5th Circuit.]
REPUBLICAN US HOUSE MAJORITY
Cox: McCarthy unveils debt ceiling bill that aims to cut big parts of Biden’s agenda
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Wednesday released his plan to raise the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion for about a year while attempting to repeal major components of President Joe Biden’s agenda. McCarthy said the bill, called the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023, would save American taxpayers more than $4.5 trillion by limiting discretionary spending, retrieving unspent pandemic-related funds, eliminating Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan and cutting funds earmarked for the Internal Revenue Service. The cuts would be in exchange for a one-year debt ceiling increase. McCarthy called on Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to “sit down, negotiate and address this crisis” but he did not mention whether the bill has enough support to pass. Biden has refused to negotiate over the debt limit. Extraordinary measures to avoid the first-ever U.S. sovereign debt default are on track to run out this summer.

Bonchie: Marjorie Taylor Greene Nails Eric Swalwell in Hearing, Mass Outrage Ensues
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hit Rep. Eric Swalwell where it hurt the most during a hearing on Wednesday, causing mass outrage among Democrats in the chamber. After Swalwell finished a lecture attacking Republicans as anti-Semitites, Greene took the microphone and accused him of having a “sexual relationship with a Chinese spy.” That sent things off the rails as the chair of the committee weighed whether to strike the words from the record. After Greene’s remark, Rep. Daniel Goldman, who has had a checkered start to his congressional career (including insulting a mother whose son was murdered in New York City), moved to have the words struck from the record. When the Republican chairman accepted the motion and asked Goldman to state what he wanted to be struck, he refused at first, instead saying “everything” that Greene said. For reasons that are easy to ascertain, he didn’t want the truthfulness of the actual allegation addressed. […] And while the back and forth is entertaining enough, shouldn’t the big question be whether Swalwell did sleep with a Chinese spy? The story is not made up.

Khalil: House committee hears testimony on DC health data breach
A top administrator with Washington’s health insurance exchange apologized to House members on Wednesday for the data breach that resulted in the disclosure of personal information for thousands of users, including members of Congress. The leak was the result of human error, Mila Kofman, executive director of the District of Columbia Health Benefit Exchange Authority, told a joint session of two House Oversight subcommittees. She said a server was incorrectly configured in mid-2018 when they installed the internal communications program Slack. That faulty configuration allowed an unauthorized individual to access the server and steal two reports containing personal information of “56,415 current and past customers including members of Congress, their families, and staff.”

Martel: NGO that Exposed NYC Chinese Police Station Says More Operating in Texas, L.A., Nebraska
Safeguard Defenders, the non-governmental organization that exposed over 100 illegal Chinese government police stations abroad last year, listed on Tuesday multiple American cities in addition to New York in which such stations are believed to still be operating. […] A Safeguard Defenders spokeswoman told the newspaper: We found at least four listed in the US by PRC [People’s Republic of China] public security authorities, plus flagged an additional four overseas Chinese service centers in the US set up by the UFWD [United Front Work Department] networks responsible for manning the stations. The United Front Work Department is China’s government agency for enforcing communist dogma abroad, as well as for uniting nominally “private” companies and other entities to do the government’s bidding. […] “Service centers” is the Chinese government’s euphemism for illegal police stations. On Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin angrily denied the existence of illegal police stations.

Hubbard: US aid dollars to Afghan people being diverted to the Taliban, special inspector warns
“Since the Taliban takeover, the U.S. government has sought to continue supporting the Afghan people without providing benefits for the Taliban regime. However, it is clear from our work that the Taliban is using various methods to divert U.S. aid dollars,” special inspector general John Sopko is expected to tell the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability in statements obtained by Just the News. Sopko will also explain that government agencies are not cooperating with his oversight requests. “In sum, due to the refusal of State and USAID to fully cooperate with SIGAR, I cannot report to this Committee or the American people on the extent to which our government may be funding the Taliban and other nefarious groups with U.S. taxpayer dollars,” he states in his prepared remarks. “We simply do not know since the Department of State, USAID, the UN and other agencies are refusing to give us basic information that we or any other oversight body would need to ensure safe stewardship of tax dollars.”
Tawil: How Some Americans Support Terrorism Against Israel
- [F]ourteen Democratic members of the US Congress have joined the Jihad (holy war) against Israelis by urging the Biden administration to reconsider US military aid to Israel.
- The Congressmen’s letter ignores the dramatic increase in terror attacks against Israelis and makes no reference to the scores of innocent civilians murdered over the past year by Palestinian terrorists. The letter further ignores that Israel’s counterterrorism measures, which aim to save the lives of Israelis and Palestinians alike, are a legitimate act of self-defense.
- The Israeli measures, including raids on the homes of terrorists and confiscation of weapons and ammunition, are the direct result of a 300% increase in terror attacks over the past year… When there is no terrorism, there is no need for Israel to launch counterterrorism operations.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY
McCormick: OBAMA SET UP ENERGY EFFICIENCY AID FOR HUNTER/BURISMA
Obama’s USAID ponied up American taxpayer dollars for an energy conservation scam, the Municipal Energy Reform Program (MERP,) and Burisma got a big chunk of that too — meaning Joe and Hunter got their kickback share. And Obama was right in the thick of it. How do I know that? Because Jake Sullivan said so — only he didn’t think he’d be identified as the speaker outing the scam. But now he is. By me — because I was standing next to him. Here’s the link to the crime-ridden April 21st, 2014, Air Force Two background briefing given by Sullivan. […] Joe Biden knowingly diverting substantial U.S. assistance to a company which was at the time paying his son to sit on its board — which is why I say without hesitation: Joe Biden is a criminal. And Jake Sullivan is too. His crime is conveying that information to the press, which makes him a co-conspirator for covering for Joe’s knowledge of Hunter’s business with Burisma then and ever since. And Barack Obama is too.

Solomon: Senior IRS agent blows whistle, alleging Biden DOJ thwarting criminal prosecution of Hunter Biden
A decorated supervisory IRS agent has reported to the Justice Department’s top watchdog that federal prosecutors appointed by Joe Biden have engaged in “preferential treatment and politics” to block criminal tax charges against presidential son Hunter Biden, providing evidence as a whistleblower that conflicts with Attorney General Merrick Garland’s recent testimony to Congress that the decision to bring charges against Biden was being left to the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware. According to a letter from the whistleblower’s attorney Mark Lytle to Congress obtained by Just the News, the IRS agent revealed he is seeking to provide detailed disclosures about a high-profile, sensitive case to the tax-writing committees in Congress, which have special authority under federal tax privacy laws to receive such information. That could pave the way to share the details with other committees in coming weeks.

Keenan: Revolution of Color
Let’s do a little regime change, one red state at a time. […] Color revolutions have finally come to the United States, courtesy of our leaders. The target is clear: weak red state governments which are going to be toppled, one by one. The official definition of color revolution is that it’s “the term used for popular uprisings against authoritarian regimes, such as those that took place in former Soviet countries such as Ukraine and Georgia in the early and mid-2000s.” Revolver News Editor Darren Beattie had a slightly different definition of color revolution. It’s “a regime change model favored by many in our national security apparatus, particularly against Eastern European countries, to overthrow target regimes they don’t like.” […] Our flag color, of course, is the intersectional rainbow. The seizure-inducing Progress Pride flag—with new stripes added to the rainbow to represent black, brown, and transgender people—is the new American revolution flag. All leftwing actions will be wrapped up in it, the way Sylvester Stallone wrapped himself in the flag at the end of Rocky IV.

Thornett: Digital Dictatorships
Modern regimes are investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor and control society. From China’s surveillance state and emerging social credit systems to Russia’s disinformation campaign in Ukraine to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launching domestic cyberattacks on political opponents, dictatorships are using armies of hackers, bots, and trolls to gather data on citizens in order to manipulate algorithms and mold public opinion. But when does focusing on data result in knowing less about a country? One answer is when it comes at the expense of what the military calls HUMINT, Human Intelligence, which is information gathered through direct interpersonal contact with human sources. Through spies and informants, HUMINT is said to be the only source of intelligence capable of revealing the group dynamics of insurgent and terrorist groups. And beyond HUMINT, person-to-person relationships connecting government and citizens are just as important for building a society as for shutting down terrorists. […] And Russia isn’t the only country that is manipulating digital communications for its own purposes. The West has played the same disinformation game without compunction, running propaganda operations as it uses Ukraine as a proxy to achieve its own, long-standing goals in the region.

The White House invited the three Democratic Tennessee state lawmakers who participated in a gun control protest in the state capitol on March 30. The state House of Representatives voted to expel Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, while Rep. Gloria Johnson survived the vote for her expulsion.
Doocy pressed Jean-Pierre as to why the families of the six victims fatally shot in the school have not received an invite to the White House.

Jones: HUD Regulation Would Require Fair Housing ‘Equity Plans’ from Communities
Equity Plans would address the following topics: demographics, segregation and integration, racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, access to community assets, access to affordable housing opportunities, and access to homeownership and economic opportunity. HUD says fair housing means more than avoiding housing discrimination; it requires communities to eliminate historic patterns of discrimination — basically, by building affordable housing in or near otherwise unaffordable neighborhoods.
I & I Editorial Board: When Did The U.S. Become East Germany?
Every time the cranks in Congress and the kooks on campus talk of the grand premiums of socialism, they always explain that it’s the benevolent and neighborly democratic socialism of Scandinavia that they want the U.S. to follow. If that’s true, then why is the U.S. becoming like East Germany of the miserable 1960s? The United States since the New Deal has not been that far different than the Norways, Swedens and Denmarks of the post-World War II era. All have employed welfare-state policies that were fed by the prosperity of capitalism, the balance between the two adjusted from time to time, especially in the Europe and nations where runaway welfarism threatened economies and had to be curbed. […] The left is unrelenting in its ambition to take more of the economy out of the private sector and place it in the hands of elected Democrats and administrative tyrants. Culturally, we are facing the extinction of truth and the absolutes all reasonable people agree on. Government officials have used private companies as agents to censor speech they don’t approve of.

Binder: Ron Johnson: Biden Welcomes Nearly Five Million Illegal Aliens to U.S., Exceeding Populations of 28 States
During a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on Tuesday, Johnson questioned Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the total number of border crossers and illegal aliens released into the U.S. interior, as well as those who successfully crossed the southern border since the start of 2021. DHS, though, does little to track and concisely publish the figure, though it is among the most consequential for American citizens and the U.S. labor market. Johnson said he calculated the total to be anywhere from four to five million border crossers and illegal aliens who entered the U.S. interior over the last two years — including those directly released by DHS, known got-aways, and unknown got-aways.
Freedom Foundation: Senate Can’t Reward Julie Su’s Incompetence With Another Promotion
Whatever other qualifications President Biden was looking for when he nominated Julie Su to serve as Secretary of Labor, competence clearly wasn’t one of them. Slavish allegiance to union special interests? Check. A badly calibrated ethical compass? Yup. But if the job application included any questions regarding Su’s stewardship of the public treasury, transparency, or integrity, she either skipped them and/or the president was napping when he should have been vetting her. Consequently, Su’s confirmation hangs by a thread with her hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee scheduled for April 20.
Van Laar: Whoops, Biden’s HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra Violated the Hatch Act
When Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra appeared at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Awards Gala in September 2022 in his official capacity and expressed his support for California Sen. Alex Padilla’s re-election he violated the Hatch Act, according to a Tuesday letter to President Joe Biden from Henry Kerner of the United States Office of Special Counsel (OSC).

Grossman: NIH study recruiting 18-year-olds to learn ‘unknown’ side effects of testicle removal for gender dysphoria
The NIH research said the side effects of surgically removing testicles from biological males has ‘not been extensively studied’ The observational study is looking for 30 gender diverse biological male participants who are interested in the orchiectomy procedure, which has also been referred to as “surgical castration” in medical literature. […] The study’s preliminary abstract acknowledges the lack of research on the cardiovascular side effects of the orchiectomy procedure. […] “Trans women appear to be at greater risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and blood clots compared to non-trans adults. The effect of orchiectomy on CVD risk among trans women is unknown, but orchiectomy may change blood vessel function and metabolic health,” the study said.
(AND YET) (April 8, 2023) Smith: Biden Administration’s Policies Push Puberty Blocking, Transition Surgeries for Transgender Children
In acts of naked cultural imperialism, the Biden administration has launched propaganda, regulatory, and, soon, litigation campaigns aimed at requiring that children have unfettered access to gender transition interventions.And they intend to force society to pay for it. Just the other day, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra testified to a House of Representatives committee that he supports the government funding sex reassignment surgery for minors. No one should be surprised at this radical turn. President Joe Biden just issued a statement on “Transgender Day of Visibility” and publicly stated that legal efforts by states to protect children’s physical health by prohibiting puberty blockers and surgical mutilations is “hateful.” Indeed, at Biden’s direction, the administration’s agencies and departments now actively proselytize in favor of children receiving “early gender-affirming care.”

Morris: Trans Montana lawmaker lashes out at GOP colleagues during House floor debate: ‘Blood on your hands’
Rep. Zooey Zephyr, a bisexual and the first transgender lawmaker in Montana legislature history, drew criticism Tuesday after telling Republicans during a House floor debate on amendments to Senate Bill 99 that they have “blood on (their) hands,” a notion the lawmaker hopes will be present in their prayers.
“The only thing I will say is if you vote yes on this bill and yes on these amendments I hope the next time there’s an invocation when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands,” Zephyr said. […] Following Zephyr’s remarks from the House floor, the Montana Freedom Caucus, which comprises more than 20 state lawmakers, issued a statement calling for Zephyr to be censured over the “hateful rhetoric.”

THE MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX HAS CANCELLED THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH
Chapados: UT Southwestern teaching med students that ‘gender is independent’ of chromosomes and is a ‘societal construct’
Documents obtained by Fox News show that medical students from the university have been subjected to radical gender ideology as part of their studies. According to the university’s “Human Structure” curriculum, educators “explicitly acknowledge the differentiation between the terms sex and gender.”
“The latter is a psychological, social, and cultural construct, including self-identification. Gender is independent of physical structure, chromosomes, or genes,” the curriculum read. While in the school’s “Sex and Gender” curriculum, students have been taught that sexual organs are binary, this did not limit educators from straying from medical norms. Anatomical sex was defined as chromosomes, genes, and products being “the most frequent anatomical variants traditionally termed male and female.”

Piper: University of Missouri medical school had students watch scientifically suspect TED Talks
he University of Missouri School of Medicine has trained employees and incoming students to see medicine through the lens of trendy ideologies on race and gender, according to materials shared exclusively with Just the News, and it’s not clear the programs were scientifically valid. Advocacy group Do No Harm, which targets wokeness in medicine, provided the only two documents Mizzou Med turned over in response to Freedom of Information Act requests spanning the 2020-2022 academic years. Both are from 2020. […] A welcome letter for the Class of 2024 fleshes out the content of the orientation program that Mizzou Med previewed in June 2020. “All incoming medical students” will read the book “Seeing Patients: Unconscious Bias in Health Care” and discuss it in small groups, the school said. Conceived by a student and approved by the Office of Medical Education to begin in the 2020-2021 school year, Common Read’s first cohort focused overwhelmingly on TED Talks, made popular by the pricey conferences described in various media profiles as religious revivals for secular audiences.

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS DEMOCRAT PARTY MEDIA INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
Mercola: Media Covers Up Tracking of Unvaccinated People
In mid-February 2023, I reported that the U.S. government has secretly been tracking those who didn’t get the COVID jab, or are only partially jabbed, through a previously unknown surveillance program designed by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.1 Within days, fact checkers were burning the midnight oil trying to debunk the idea that individual people are being tracked, or that these data could be misused by government or third parties. Strangely enough, the most egregious “misinformation” example USA Today’s fact checker could find was a social media post that “generated nearly 200 likes in less than a month.”2 Two hundred likes? To most influencers, that’s nothing, especially not over the course of 30 days. Why is USA Today stressing over a post with 200 likes? Seems a bit panicky if you ask me. Reuters also came out with a fact check and, like USA Today, Reuters claimed there was a lack of “context:”3

EDUCATION INDOCTRINATION
WND Staff: ‘Toxic’: Greatest betrayal in nation deceptively unleashed on millions
Throughout America, parents by the millions send their precious children off to their local public schools, imagining their kids’ days will be filled with reading, writing and arithmetic, along with science, history, sports, music and group recreation, just like when they attended school decades ago.
However, they’re not only in for a shock – but for total betrayal. Today, what are still euphemistically called “public schools” (remember, “public” means “government”) have been transmogrified into far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America’s children. Sound far-fetched? Sadly, it’s understated. Briefly step inside today’s “hallowed halls of learning,” where most American children spend the major part of their young lives, and consider the dystopian reality of “public education” in 2023. In thousands of schools today, students are literally taught to hate their own country. Children are being programmed, via various anti-American curricula – including the notorious “1619 Project” K-12 curricula already in use in at least 4,500 U.S. public schools – to loathe and feel ashamed of America as white supremacist, racist and even genocidal. They’re indoctrinated to regard all white people as racist, or at best as unjust beneficiaries of “white privilege,” and therefore still personally guilty for America’s deeply entrenched “systemic racism.” Continuing our school tour, one soon encounters what all previous generations of Americans would have regarded as the criminal . . .

Turley: Can You Guess? Professor Asks Students What Group is Known for “Violence, Deceit, Irresponsibility, and a Lack of Remorse”
We recently discussed how Wake Forest Psychology Professor S. Mason Garrison described conservatives as “guilty, anxious, and unable to handle stress well as children.” It was indicative of the overt hostility often encountered by Republicans and conservatives on our campuses today. Now, another psychology professor is under fire for a quiz that matter-of-factly explained that white men are characterized as a group for their abuse of others and lack of remorse for their violence and deceit. Like Professor Garrison, the resulting outcry reportedly led Professor Kirsten Bradbury to rescind the quiz. However, the incident reflects both the orthodoxy and hostility that now characterizes higher education. It also follows a familiar pattern when academics are called to account for such biased attacks.Professor Bradbury gave a quiz as part of her “Personality Psychology” class and included a question that stated “[n]either race nor gender is determinative in Antisocial Personality Disorder.” It then asked: . . . […] Imagine if a professor described black men in such disparaging terms. Would the University of Texas at Austin or its faculty remain silent?
PROF. JENKINS: On ‘gender,’ we must stop using the Left’s language
There’s an old saying that those who define the terms usually win the argument. That dynamic has been playing out on the political stage now for at least half a century, as the Left constantly attempts to control the language. We see this on college campuses all the time. Back in January, Campus eform reported that Stanford University had labeled an entire slate of innocuous words “racist” or “biased”—words like “white paper,” “she,” and “American.” More recently, Michigan State University released a new “language guide” with its own list of “harmful” words and phrases, including “tipping point,” “cake walk,” and “bonkers.” I’m guessing that last one was added to prevent people from accurately describing the guide’s editors. Even more insidious than what we’re not allowed to say, however, is what we are required to say—the words that, according to leftists, we MUST use or else face their wrath. And nowhere is this terminological tyranny more evident than in the debate over “transgenderism.”

Biagini: EXCLUSIVE: Anthropology prof teaches ‘culture makes us women, men, or other genders’
Dr. Ruth Burgett Jolie of the University of Arizona (UA) included an article titled “The Gender of Brazilian Transgendered Prostitutes,” and alleged that “[b]odies are born, but culture makes us women, men, or other genders,” as part of an anthropology class offered this semester. Dr. Jolie is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at UA. Her research involves “how material culture is used by individuals to create and reinforce gender roles.” Campus Reform obtained copies of the course syllabus, the assigned reading, and an essay question. The article, listed under the required readings for Mar. 16, was part of a class topic called “Sexual Identities.” The first line of the article states, “Males who enjoy being anally penetrated by other males are, in many places in the world, an object of special cultural elaboration.” The article continues, claiming that sex between Latin American males does not necessarily correlate to both parties being perceived as homosexual. It posits that in this region of the world, . . .

I & I Editorial Board: The Great Divorce? 2.6 Million Fled Counties That Voted For Biden
Is the country separating itself into two distinct camps? One increasingly leftist and the other trying desperately to cling to traditional American values? Census data seem to show that it very well could be underway. But we wanted to go deeper and get more precise numbers. So, we matched Census net migration data from mid-2020 through mid-2022 for all the nation’s 3,000-plus counties (or their equivalents) and compared that with how these counties voted in 2020. Our working assumption is that the results of the incredibly divisive 2020 election would be a good barometer of the devoutly held political views in those counties. What we found was striking: There has been a vast migration out of counties that voted for Joe Biden into those counties that voted to reelect Donald Trump. Census data show . . .

Mittelstadt: Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias, DCCC hit with FEC complaint alleging $5M in bogus billing
The Committee to Defeat the President, an anti-Biden super PAC, has filed a Federal Election Commission complaint against Elias Law Group and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for allegedly misreporting $5.2 million in payments regarding election recounts. According to FEC filings, the DCCC paid Elias Law Group, a Democrat election law firm led by Marc Elias, a total of $5.2 million in “Recount Legal [Services]” in 2021 and 2022. The political action committee alleged in its complaint the payments were made despite no pending federal election recounts at the time. The super PAC has also forwarded its complaint to the Justice Department, claiming that the payments were incorrectly reported and possibly violate campaign finance laws.
VDH: The Useful Veneer of the Aging Democrat
Joe Biden is now 80 years-old. He will be 82 when he campaigns for the 2024 presidency—and a clearly debilitated 86 should he be elected and fill out his second term. He has been in government for over a half-century. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and current representative from California is 83.
Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), the second-ranking Democratic House member behind Pelosi, was House majority leader until early this year. He is 83, and has been an elected official for nearly 60 years. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is 72, with 48 years in elected government. Democratic luminary and former chairman of the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, Senator Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.) is 89, and ailing—after 53 years as an elected official. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) is House minority whip and 82. These are the official faces of the Democratic Party. They came into power and maturity three decades ago during the Clinton years of 1993-1999.

Krutzig: Boise junior high teacher charged with rape of student, held in jail on $1 million bail
Eric McDermott, 59, of Meridian, faces charges of rape and sexual battery committed by lewd or lascivious acts on a minor 16 to 17 years of age. The prosecutor alleged during a video arraignment Monday that McDermott, a geography teacher and boys basketball coach at Fairmont Junior High, taught the male juvenile when the teenager was 15 years old. When the boy was 16, McDermott allegedly contacted him on a “dating hookup site,” according to prosecution statements at the arraignment. This was in 2020. McDermott allegedly sent nude photos and communicated with the teen for several days before picking him up and driving him to McDermott’s home, where the teacher allegedly sexually assaulted him.

Elass: If the Dalai Lama Goes Down in Flames, What Should Happen to Muhammad?
This last February 28th, the Dalai Lama was interacting with visitors at a public event in the temple which bears his name, found in Dharmashala, northern India, . . . […] During this particular event, a young boy approached the Dalai Lama and asked if he could give him a hug. “His Holiness” invited the boy up on stage as the event was being filmed and pointed to his cheek, saying “First here,” indicating the boy was to kiss him. Continuing his interaction, the monk then pointed to his lips and said, “Then I think finally here also,” lifting the boy’s chin with his hand and placing a kiss on the boy’s lips. After a few seconds with their faces close together, the Dalai Lama sticks out his tongue and commands the child, “And suck my tongue.” […] As blowback has increased significantly since the incident occurred,. . . Of course, this regret and apology came some six weeks after the incident itself, and were apparently prompted by the severe negative publicity generated due to the viral video. […] But the Dalai Lama is not the only major religious leader in the tongue-sucking business. As soon as I read of this story, my mind immediately went to early Islamic sources which portray Muhammad as one who sucked the tongues of little boys and invited them to suck his tongue as well.

Witkin: SOUTH AFRICA AT WAR WITH ITSELF
Architect from Michigan, USA revisits his hometown of Cape Town and reflects on disturbing urban landscapes and its people still saddled with racism – but now in reverse. I travelled to Cape Town from the US after a long hiatus of ten years (2012) and was mortified of the degradation that had occurred over that period of time. Going back and seeing things, it seemed as though I was chasing the ghost of my elusive past; the ghost of something that I would no longer find. I have recollections of a place of seeping memories; another life, another dimension – a society that has decayed and encased itself, enabled by a corrupt and incompetent government out for self-enrichment. A government that has sucked the marrow from the very bones of South Africa. […] “Poor Whites” has become South Africa’s “New Subclass”. These are white families who have lost their jobs and fallen into poverty as a result of the policy of “affirmative action”, that is, preferential treatment for blacks. Living in total abject poverty, this destitute group is rarely discussed or acknowledged but is increasing in size. They survive in informal settlements away from the public eye; mostly in tents and hovels. They are mostly the disinherited, outcast and bereft Afrikaners that are bitter and dejected and feel abandoned. This situation is depicted in TFI Global’s ‘You don’t need to die to see hell, just visit a white slum in South Africa’:

Kaplan: El Chapo’s sons fed enemies to tigers and used chiles for torture: DOJ
Drug-trafficking has provided cash for Los Chapitos, as the sons of notorious Mexican cartel leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán call themselves. But murder, mayhem and torture have kept them in power. And those who dare cross them are sometimes fed, “dead or alive,” to tigers, according to the DOJ.
A recently released indictment accuses 28 Sinaloa Cartel members and leaders — including four of El Chapo’s sons: Iván and Alfredo Guzmán Salazar and Joaquín and Ovidio Guzmán López (nicknamed Raton, which translates to mouse or hangover) — of running “the largest, most violent and most prolific fentanyl trafficking operation in the world.”
