Malpractice ruling signals legal reckoning for gender procedures on minors

By Brian C. Joondeph, M.D. | Commentary, American Thinker A major change in the medical landscape on transgender surgeries on minors arrives, and the press is trying to ignore it. When Fox Varian stood before a New York jury last month and described the moment her bandages were removed after a double mastectomy, her words were stark: “It’s so hard to face that you are disfigured for life.”  What the jury saw was not a political mascot or an abstract policy debate, but a young woman whose body had been permanently altered during adolescence, long before she had the maturity or perspective to grasp the lifelong consequences of that choice. After deliberation, the jury awarded Ms. Varian $2 million in damages, finding that her psychologist and surgeon fai...

Washington Grand Jury Rejects Charges in Dispute Over Military Guidance Video

By Alanna Durkin Richer and Eric Tucker | KDVR WASHINGTON (AP) — A grand jury in Washington refused Tuesday to indict Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Jason Crow, in connection with a video in which they urged U.S. military members to resist “illegal orders,” according to a person familiar with the matter. The Justice Department opened an investigation into the video featuring Democratic Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and four other Democratic lawmakers urging U.S. service members to follow established military protocols and reject orders they believe to be unlawful. All the lawmakers previously served in the military or at intelligence agencies. Grand jurors in Washington declined to sign off on charges in the latest of a series of rebukes of prosecutors by c...

Bipartisan Pressure Forces DOJ To Unredact Names In Epstein Files

By Bryan Chai | The Western Journal In today’s polarized and divisive political climate, it’s not too often you see a Republican and Democrat fiercely aligning on any issue. Outside of the rare issue or two, the opposing sides of the American political duopoly seldom find common ground. However, when it comes to the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, it appears they have little issue working hand-in-hand. California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna and Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie are two such strange bedfellows — and they’ve got the Epstein files directly in their sights. One of the top issues the two men have with the slow-roll revelations of those Epstein files is that of potential co-conspirators being “improperly” redacted in the documents. ...

“America must not be overwhelmed”: A century-old warning revisited

By Tom Anthony | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, who penned the lion’s share of the Constitution, is perhaps the most stellar example of the philosophy of America as a meritocracy, having been the illegitimate son of a Caribbean storekeeper who rose to become George Washington’s Adjutant and the first Secretary of the Treasury. He said this about immigration: “Foreigners will generally be apt to bring with them attachments to the persons they have left behind; to the country of their nativity, and to its particular customs and manners. They will also entertain opinions on government congenial with those under which they have lived; or, if they should be led hither from a preference to ours, how extremely unlikely is it that they will...

Pressure Mounts on Senate GOP to Fight for the SAVE America Act

By Virginia Grace McKinnon | The Daily Signal Ahead of an expected vote on the SAVE America Act in the House, nearly 100 conservative leaders are urging the Senate to pass the election integrity measure using the talking filibuster. The SAVE America Act, an updated version of the SAVE Act, would secure America’s elections by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and requiring voter identification. The bill, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, in the House and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, in the Senate, is expected to pass the House this week. Conservatives are now calling on Senate Republicans to do everything in their power to pass this legislation. https://twitter.com/RepChipRoy/status/2017274977259798917?s=20 RE...

Capitalism vs socialism: What the global data reveals about human well-being

By Sanjai Bhagat | Commentary, The Daily Signal Capitalism versus socialism has become a topic of intense debate in senior political and business circles. The recent election of socialist-leaning candidates in major U.S. cities highlights the contemporary relevance of this topic. A recent Gallup poll finds that Americans view capitalism more positively than socialism; the 54% viewing capitalism favorably is down from 60% in 2021. Americans view socialism more negatively (57%) than positively (39%), with little movement in these attitudes over time. How have the people of a country fared that have adopted socialism? Not so well—the evidence below indicates. How have the people of a socialist country that have adopted capitalism fared? Very well—again, t...

When protest becomes rebellion against the rule of law

By Mark Salley | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice So many things come to mind when thinking about the dissension gripping our country. It seems nearly everything has become contentious. Should people be citizens in order to vote in elections?  Should children have sex-change surgeries?  Should people work to expose corruption and bring consequences to the fraudsters? None of these things — on their face — seem contentious.  Yet…there is rebellion brewing. The rebellion has overflowed in Minneapolis. Rather than supporting enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws (even Presidents Clinton, Obama and Biden supported deportation), there is a contingent of rebels who are willing to directly interfere in law enforcement efforts to bring lawbreakers to just...

FBI Quietly Planned for Disputed 2020 Election Long Before Capitol Riot

By John Solomon and Steven Richards | Just the News What did they know, and when did they know it? The memos from 2020 recently turned over to Congress by FBI Director Kash Patel also warned that foreign enemies like Iran and China were likely to foment domestic violence on U.S. soil. The FBI conducted a tabletop exercise in summer 2020 that imagined what sort of violence might ensue in a contested presidential election that year, devising strategies like undercover informants and mass prosecutions for minor crimes that it would later use with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, documents obtained by Just the News show. FBI Director Kash Patel turned over the long-secret memos to Congress last week, providing fresh evidence that federal law enforcement was acutely con...

ICE Operations Hampered in Colorado and Minnesota After Activists Aid Child Rapist and Gang Member

By Alec Schemmel | Fox News FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is detailing cases in which anti-ICE agitators actively helped criminal illegal immigrants evade federal arrest, including suspects accused of child rape, domestic abuse and gang-related violence. The cases point to a growing pattern of organized interference with federal immigration enforcement during recent ICE operations.  "These are the monsters that agitators and sanctuary politicians are protecting," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital. "We remind the public that obstructing law enforcement is a felony and a federal crime." According to DHS, members of the anti-ICE Colorado Rapid Response Network alerted Jo...
