MELBOURNE, Fla. – A man accused of attacking his girlfriend in her apartment Tuesday was arrested after the woman’s twin daughters fended him off, giving their mother enough time to find safety, according to the Melbourne Police Department. Officers responded at 1:21 p.m. to a disturbance at Manatee Cove Apartments, where the woman told police she had just been attacked at her residence by her boyfriend, 33-year-old Andrew Williams, Jr. According to a news release, Williams was “unexpectedly surprised” when the woman’s daughters — both 6 years old — used toys, sticks and a hair dryer in an attempt to...

Is God a man, a woman, or a genderless force that cannot be identified by masculine or feminine traits? Society offers a range of ideas, but what do religious texts have to say about this immutable characteristic of God? Dennis Prager offers some insightful answers.

Young women around Australia are being struck down by a mystery neurological illness - with experts fearing social media addiction and pandemic stress is triggering the problem. The Tourette's syndrome-like disorder is seeing teenagers suffering from incontrollable 'tics' - which include outbursts, twitching, pops, noises, swearing, kicking and hitting. Doctors are also witnessing the phenomenon across the globe where previously healthy young women have reported suddenly coming down with violent physical and verbal impulses. But what's causing the rapid increase in cases has parents and medical authorities baffled. There has been a steep increase in similarly reported cases through the...

Young girls in America are experiencing puberty at an earlier age than biologists would particularly expect with the average age falling to ten, with black girls undergoing the process a year earlier than their peers on average, experts warn. The phenomena was first detected by Dr Marcia Herman-Giddens, a public health expert at the University of North Carolina, when she began to gather data on more than 17,000 girls in the mid-1990s. She found that the average age of puberty was dropping, falling to ten years old, with some girls developing as early as age six. While there are no...

The Kentucky state legislature has overridden Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear's veto of a bill to block biological males from competing in girls' or women's athletics from sixth grade through college. Beshear had previously issued a veto message in which he pointed to the Kentucky High School Athletic Association's policies regarding transgender participation, which indicate that students must compete based on the gender indicated on their birth certificate unless their gender has been legally reassigned. "Again, the KHSAA policy requires that a student-athlete who has undergone sex reassignment after puberty must take hormonal therapy in a verifiable manner and for a...

“The Girls Lacrosse Team is no longer permitted to wear the Pray for Peace t-shirts at home or away events as warm up gear,” the email read. “The message conveyed by the shirts, although positive in nature and well meaning, can be interpreted as religious and political in nature.” The school district said the shirts were too religious and too political. A double-whammy. Parent Clare Levison said the girls offered to replace the word “pray” with the word “play.” However, that compromise was rejected. The Roanoke Times reported that the school’s librarian was ordered to remove a display sign that...

Utah’s Republican lawmakers voted Friday to override GOP Gov. Spencer Cox’s veto of legislation banning transgender youth athletes from playing on girls teams. Cox’s veto letter drew national attention with a poignant argument that such laws target vulnerable transgender kids who are already at high risk of suicide. Cox was the second GOP governor this week to overrule state lawmakers on a sports-participation ban amid a nationwide culture war over transgender issues. Business leaders in Utah are also concerned about backlash and lost revenue.

GAFFNEY, SC—Multiple five-year old witnesses confirm that their teacher, Miss Whifflestrom, dropped the class gerbil in awe after hearing brilliant young kindergartener Timothy correctly describe boys as having a penis and girls, a vagina. Within hours, young Timothy had been granted a PhD in Biology. “We hereby grant the intellectual phenom, young Timothy Swanson this honored PhD in Biology for his work in clearly differentiating the subtle variations between Homosapien boys and girls,” said the chairman of the American Council of Biology PhDs, while handing a certificate to the young boy who only hours ago was sticking crayon shavings up...

Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers decided against opening schools to girls above the sixth grade, reneging on a previous promise and opting to appease their hardline base at the expense of further alienating the international community. The unexpected decision, confirmed by a Taliban official Wednesday, came at the start of the new school year in Afghanistan. It is bound to disrupt Taliban efforts to win recognition from potential international donors, at a time when the country is mired in a worsening humanitarian crisis. ... women are not required to wear the all encompassing burqa. but must wear the traditional hijab, covering their...

Two Republican governors vetoed legislation this week that would prohibit transgender girls from competing in girls’ sports. Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah and Gov. Eric Holcomb of Indiana felt it was more important to protect transgender people than the girls who would be victimized by boys competing as girls. A similar bill was vetoed by Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota in 2021. In addition to failing to protect girl athletes, they are double-crossing the people that voted them into office. The constituents of each state overwhelmingly support such legislation. It’s these types of betrayals that led Republican voters to...

'This is a victory for girls’ sports in Iowa.'. Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a bill Thursday banning biological males from women’s sports. “This is a victory for girls’ sports in Iowa. No amount of talent, training or effort can make up for the natural physical advantages males have over females. It’s simply a reality of human biology,” Reynolds said in a statement Thursday. “Forcing females to compete against males is the opposite of inclusivity and it’s absolutely unfair.” The move makes Iowa the 11th state in the nation to ban biological males from women’s sports. HF 2416 protects...

University of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer Lia Thomas won the 200-yard and 500-yard freestyle and finished in fifth place in the 100-yard freestyle during the school’s tri-meet with Yale and Dartmouth. Thomas finished about two seconds ahead of her opponents with a time of 1:48.73 in the 200 freestyle. She missed out on setting an NCAA record held by Olympian Missy Franklin, who finished the event in 1:39.10 in 2015. Thomas wasn’t as dominant as she was at the Zippy Invitational at Akron last month.

A veteran CNN producer who worked “shoulder to shoulder” with ex-anchor Chris Cuomo has been fired after it was revealed he bragged about luring girls as young as 7 to his home for “sexual subservience” training, the network confirmed. John Griffin, 44, was indicted Friday by a federal grand jury in Vermont for attempting to “induce minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity,” according to the Justice Department. CNN announced his suspension that same day. “The charges against Mr. Griffin are deeply disturbing. We learned of his arrest Friday afternoon and terminated his employment Monday,” a CNN spokesperson told The...

Since neither Drudge nor the U.S. Sun to which he links has any credibility whatsoever, I was wondering what anyone knew of the Sun's/Drudge's claim that Trump flew the Lolita Express. As in: is that even what the pilot actually said? I could easily imagine the pilot ingratiating himself with prosecutors by insinuating Trump, but did he say anything to contradict Trump's earlier claims about Epstein?

Video captured during a youth basketball game in Garden Grove shows a 15-year-old girl getting punched in the face by a fellow player on Sunday. The incident took place at an event hosted by Avac United, which organizes games for youth between the ages of 13 to 16 across Southern California. The victim’s mother, Alice Ham, told KTLA that she knew something was very wrong when her daughter, whose name she did not want shared, returned home after her basketball game, disoriented. Teammates and other parents filled Ham in and showed her the video. “The person in question went down...

After more than ten hours of debate, the Texas House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday night requiring transgender public school athletes to compete on teams that match their birth gender, not the gender they identify with. The controversial bill, which passed with a 76-54 vote, now goes to the state Senate. Introduced by Representative Valoree Swanson, the measure restricts the athletes to playing on teams that match the biological sex listed on an official birth certificate issued at or close to the time of the student's birth. A modified birth certificate would only be accepted if it had been...

Lego is striving to make sets "more inclusive" to boys and girls, according to chief product and marketing officer, Julia Goldin. Getty Images Lego on Monday vowed to rid its toys of “gender bias and harmful stereotypes” in a push to make them more accessible to girls. The world’s largest toymaker has already stopped labeling its products as “for girls” or “for boys” and its website does not allow searches by gender, The Guardian noted.

The biggest sources of sex stereotypes and strict gender roles are the trans movement and its allies, insisting girls who like 'boy' things must actually be boys.Sometimes transgender propaganda is too honest for its own good. For example, Loudoun Now, a weekly newspaper in Virginia’s Loudoun County, just ran a horrifying story encouraging gender dysphoria in children. The piece focuses on seven-year-old Sophia, now pretending to be a boy named Max, and her mother Emily (the unnamed father is almost entirely absent from the article). It was meant to boost transgender ideology in an area that has become a battleground...
