Busy as they were, Hillary Clinton's aides found time to constantly compliment their boss' appearance, according to the latest batch of e-mails released by the State Department. When a photo of Clinton on her Blackberry started lighting up the Internet in April 2012, an aide forwarded it to Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills under the subject line, "Photo gone viral!" Mills passed it along to Clinton, who wanted to know why it was so popular. "You look cute," responded Mills. [Snip] And when a magazine featured Clinton on the cover, press aide Philippe Reines described the photo as "spectacular."...

Family members who believe a loved one poses a danger to themselves or others will be able to ask police to seek a temporary "gun violence" restraining order from a judge beginning Jan. 1. The order would allow police to seize the person's guns for 21 days. State lawmakers approved the legislation (AB1014) and Gov. Jerry Brown signed it into law after a 2014 mass shooting in Isla Vista, near the University of California, Santa Barbara, in which six people were killed and 14 injured. Before the shootings, sheriff's deputies had visited the shooter, Elliot Rodger, after his parents raised...

Remember BDS? Bush Derangement Syndrome. That illness came to light soon after George W. Bush was declared the winner in the 2000 election after a long battle over the Florida ballots. The result was that a bunch of people were reported needing psychiatric help from people unable to mentally deal with Bush as president. There was even one shrink in Boca Raton who specialized in treating people for BDS. However, as bad as BDS was it would pale in comparison to TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, which would follow a Trump victory next November. In fact, we don't even have to...

TORONTO, December 21, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Seven children and 23 years of marriage couldn't stop Stefonknee Wolscht from leaving his family. Now, six years later, the deep-voiced transgender Canadian – formerly known as "Paul" – says he's living as a six-year-old girl. In a video published by The Daily Xtra, in partnership with The Transgender Project, Wolscht says he "can't deny I was married. I can't deny I have children." But he also says that living as a six-year old child, with the support of two older friends who act as his parents, is part of how he's "moved...

Transgenderism is the new faux protected class that liberals want to claim are oppressed. Thanks Caitlyn Jenner. But the entire movement has become a slippery slope of weird, barreling down into the nonsensical. It has giant dress up Barbies. Well I have a few opinions on the matter. Hopefully you were sitting down for that revelation. VIDEO AT LINK What about the wife and children he abandoned? Are they happy? Maybe sometimes there’s more to decision-making than what makes you happy. Sometimes you have to take responsibility for your actions, have compassion for others and do things you may not...

RALEIGH, North Carolina, December 11, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Three couples are challenging the constitutionality of North Carolina's law allowing magistrates to bow out of performing same-sex "marriages." According to court documents, the plaintiffs – two lesbian couples and an opposite-sex interracial couple – argue that the state's new law is discriminatory and thus unconstitutional. They and LGBT rights activists, as well as the state's GOP governor, all argue that the intention of the law is to illegally discriminate against same-sex couples. However, ABC 11 noted that a state statute does not require couples to perform marriages, a position argued by...

Forget being transgender like Caitlyn Jenner or transracial like Rachel Dolezal, there’s a new “trans” frontier: people who are transage. In an interview with the gay news site The Daily Xtra, Stefonknee (formerly Paul) Wolscht details his struggles with being a male-to-female transgender person. The Daily Xtra video, however, glosses over a tiny bit of important information about Wolscht: he thinks he is actually a six year-old girl—not just a woman, but a six year-old girl—stuck in the body of a 50-something man. At age 46, Wolscht deserted his wife and his seven children to live his “true” life. “There’s...

NEWTON, Iowa -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) downplayed the role anti-abortion rhetoric may have played in the fatal shooting of three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado and suggested the suspect was a “transgendered leftist activist" at a campaign stop in Iowa on Sunday. Speaking with reporters following the event, Cruz rejected suggestions that the shooter was part of the anti-abortion movement, taking issue with the “vicious rhetoric on the left blaming those who are pro-life.” Robert Lewis Dear, 57, was taken into custody Friday night after allegedly opening fire inside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs,...

The doc shows the moment Claire, from Virginia, meets a guy that she likes, only to be rejected by him as soon as he finds out she was born a boy. She says: "In a lot of ways, I don't like telling a guy. Once I tell him all respect goes out of the window. "Straight guys just can't get over you having the male parts.

The whole "transgender" issue hasn't shown up much on the presidential radar, but it did with Ted Cruz recently.  In a radio interview, Cruz said: ... the Obama administration’s support for trans students amounts to “lunacy!” “Look, these guys are so nutty that the federal government is going after school districts, trying to force them to let boys shower with little girls,” Cruz responded. “Now listen: I’m the father of two daughters, and the idea that the federal government is coming in saying that boys, with all the god-given equipment of boys, can be in the shower room with junior...

A transgender woman trying to find love has told how she is rejected by straight men for having 'male parts' and was even called an 'abomination' by her own father. Claire Green, 20, from Virginia, says she has no problem meeting men but they often disappear once they find out she used to be a boy.

As I sit here in my kitchen sipping coffee and reading the latest news about "Caitlyn" Jenner, I can't help but reflect on the darkest time my soul has ever endured. I was a young girl when I met my husband in the mid 1990s. We were vibrant and madly in love. We got married, quickly discovered we were going to be parents, and were over the moon excited. I gave birth to a girl, and a beautiful, strong boy followed four years later. My husband was successful and I was grateful that his income afforded me the opportunity to...

<p>Jeb Bush borders on creepy talking about how much he cares for his father, who, luckily, "is no longer watching CSI" because he is following the election campaign so closely. "I'd go to prison for him because, I love him so much. Thankfully I haven't had the need to do that."</p>

Politico Magazine runs a long article by Alex Thompson today with the provocative headline: "Could America Elect a Mentally Ill President? Yes. In fact, we probably already did." The story discusses the possible mental issues, and documented consumption of drugs used to treat mental illness, of numerous politicians, including several presidents, among them JFK, LBJ and Nixon. But here's the—excuse the expression—crazy thing. To illustrate the story, Politico features a large photo of Barry Goldwater. He is shown holding a finger to his lips, as if perhaps to suggest he wants to keep a secret. But of all the many...

Anyone listening to Glenn Beck this morning? He can't stop fawning over Rubio and called Trump a leftist. Finally ended up predicting Trump's demise.

Chaz Bono cannot find love because he “repels” women. Lovelorn Bono, 46, says he has been out on dates but just cannot connect with the opposite sex even though the transgender LGBT advocate was once a member of the opposite sex.
