The Louisiana Senate passed HB 648 in a 29-10 vote on Monday. The bill bans puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery for minors. The bill is expected to be vetoed by Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards. However, HB 648 passed with veto-proof majorities in both Legislative chambers. The Senate requires 26 votes in favor to override a veto, and the House requires 70 votes to override a veto; HB 648 received 71 in the House chamber. Bill author, Louisianna Congressman Gabe Firment said in a statement to the Post Millennial, "Thanks to the bi-partisan support of the Louisiana State Senate,...

More – and more – Major League Baseball players are rebuking the Los Angeles Dodgers for their decision to promote the drag queen ideology – which mocks Jesus, the Bible and the Catholic church – by giving the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" a team award. That drag-queen organization holds "hunky Jesus" competitions and members dress up as nuns. Their ideology is an offense to Catholics, who lobbied the team to drop its plans to honor them, which it did. However, LGBT activists then turned on the team, implying the Dodgers were promoting an atmosphere that could result in the deaths...

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) is stonewalling a judge’s subpoena of internal documents related to how the medical organization came up with its guidelines for gender confused minors. WPATH, a leading advocate for child sex changes, was subpoenaed in March by a federal judge in Alabama after the organization’s guidelines were repeatedly referenced to argue against the state’s restrictions on sex changes for minors during a lawsuit. WPATH has attempted to quash the subpoena, which a judge denied in March. The court case challenges Alabama’s law banning sex changes for individuals under 19. While WPATH argued it...

Hamburger Mary’s, a drag-themed restaurant in Florida, has sued the state to halt enforcement of the recently amended Florida Statute 509.261, which threatens to “fine, suspend, or revoke the license” of an establishment for violations. The law, signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on May 17, 2023, provides for administrative sanctions against licensed establishments “knowingly” allowing minors to attend “adult live performances.” Hamburger Mary’s “is a restaurant and bar serving alcohol and presents drag show performances, comedy sketches, and dancing.” The complaint alleges the restaurant has had to bar minors from its “family friendly” drag events because of the law,...

Boys don't menstruate, so it's silly and ridiculous to put tampons and other female products in their bathrooms. Transgender activists have been pushing for this for years, though, because it helps spread the gender ideology cult, particularly among young people. But the boys at Lakeridge High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon, want you to know that they are not going to put up with it:

By the time Richard Anumene was approved for gender reassignment surgery, he had accumulated a litany of mental health problems his attorney argues should have disqualified him from the procedure. Still, in March 2021, Anumene—who had changed his name to Rika Ila Abbir—underwent a series of operations that left him with what some call only an imitation of female sex organs and a sinking feeling of regret for the now 28-year-old. “At the heart of this is nothing short of an atrocity,” Anumene’s attorney Dan Watkins told The Epoch Times. Watkins is the founder of Declare Truth, a grassroots movement...

A transgender pedophile has admitted to abducting and sexually abusing a child. Andrew Miller, a male butcher from Scotland who claims to be a “woman” called Amy George, admitted abducting a schoolgirl from a street in the Scottish Borders before locking her inside his bedroom and sexually abusing her. Miller lured the young victim into his car in February while dressed as a “woman.” Surprisingly, Miller was addressed as a male by the court. He appeared via video link to plead guilty at the High Court in Edinburgh on Thursday morning. The court was told the child was walking home...

The chief executive of Anheuser-Busch InBev has blamed misinformation on social media for stoking a conservative consumer boycott of Bud Light after the best-selling US beer was promoted by a transgender influencer. Bud Light has become the target of a fierce backlash since Dylan Mulvaney posted a video last month on Instagram, where she has 1.8mn followers, featuring a custom-made beer can provided by the brewery that was emblazoned with an image of her face. The rightwing boycott has led sales volumes of the beer to drop by a quarter, while two Bud Light executives have taken leaves of absence.

The fight to keep women’s sports exclusively for biological women is just beginning and will be a long one. Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines brought the fight front and center when she was forced to compete with transgender athlete Lia Thomas. Now, Gaines has upped the ante in the fight to protect women’s and girls’ sports. She recently filed a $2 million lawsuit against Thomas, who was born William Thomas, citing cheating in order to win the national women’s swimming title, and exposing himself in a female locker room. When Lia Thomas began life, and eventually her swimming...

The Montana House has been having a debate over the banning of the gender transitioning of minor children, or “gender-affirming” care, as the Orwellian people like to term the mutilation of children. Montana Rep. Zooey Zephyr — who is transgender — attacked colleagues claiming that if her colleagues supported the bill, they would have “blood on their hands.” That violated the rules of decorum for attacking colleagues. After Zephyr’s remarks, Republican Speaker Matt Regier demanded that Zephyr apologize before being allowed to speak again in the chamber. “Not only has my colleague violated decorum, but has broken the trust given...

A transgender activist has warned people not to try and prevent her from using female restrooms, saying that if they do 'it will be the last mistake you ever make

There’s a big problem going on over at Fox News, and it’s been happening for a while now, ever since Roger Ailes left the picture. As we all know, Fox News has been a major media force for many years, with a reputation for providing a conservative spin on current events. But all of that’s changing. Over the past several years, Fox News has started to make a slow left turn. And while some may not like hearing this, there is actual evidence to suggest that Fox News has changed how it reports the news. Just watch a few shows,...

Nashville police have denied The Daily Wire‘s request for a copy of a manifesto or diary from the transgender killer who shot up a Christian school March 27, leaving six dead, including three 9-year-olds. It has been 25 days since the shocking shooting spree, in which the killer — a woman who identified as a man and who this publication is not naming to avoid giving notoriety to shooters — carried out the massacre at the Covenant School before being gunned down by police. City Council members said shortly after the incident that there was a “manifesto” and that it...

Sean and Ashley Willey are suing the Sweetwater County School District No. 1 board and some administrators for allegedly helping to gender-transition their daughter while actively hiding it from them, despite the girl's history of mental health issues. A Rock Springs couple said their school district helped their daughter socially transition to a boy behind their backs and has coerced teachers into secretly affirming transgender students. The couple is suing the district and its top administrators. Sean and Ashley Willey filed a civil rights lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Wyoming Thursday, against: · The Sweetwater County School District...

Two liberal organizations describing themselves as "radical feminist" groups have entered a surprising partnership in their effort to protect women's rights. This week, Women's Liberation Front and Women's Declaration International USA broke with the President Biden and joined congressional Republicans in support of H.R. 734, or the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, a bill that would prevent biological males from participating in women's sports. Speaking with Fox News Digital on Wednesday, Kara Dansky, the President of Women’s Declaration International USA, said her nonpartisan organization was "devoted to advancing the Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights, which, according to...

Biden's administration previously came down hard on pro-life activistsPresident Biden's Justice Department offered what critics are calling a sweetheart plea deal to a vandal who admitted to defacing a Catholic church with profane graffiti, destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary, assaulting a church worker, and resisting arrest. A plea agreement reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that the DOJ recommends zero jail time for the perp, Maeve Nota, a 31-year-old transgender individual who vandalized the St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue, Washington, following Roe v. Wade's overturning last June. Nota sharply contrasts with the Biden administration's earlier approach of...

A teacher claims she was left 'humiliated' after being ordered to apologise to 11-year-olds at a private girls' school – for calling them girls. Bosses at the £20,000-a-year school told the woman to deliver the mea culpa after her class complained that she had said 'good afternoon, girls' at the start of a lesson, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. After being told by the pupils that 'not everyone here identifies as female', she arrived in class the following day to find they had pointedly written their names and pronouns on the board, including one who used they/them. They also...

The term “transphobia” is incredibly loaded, as most accusatory modern terms are. It wrongfully suggests that the person arguing against the idea of gender fluidity is only doing so because they are uncontrollably afraid of people with gender dysphoria. I’ve yet to see anyone’s fight-or-flight instincts get triggered when someone who is transgender gets near them, but there’s an incredibly strong possibility that the people who are transgender haven’t had that experience with anyone either. While I have no doubt that they’ve encountered emotionally-based resistance, I’m betting it’s never been a complete and total panic that resulted in violence or...

A trans suspect and online activist has been arrested in Greenwood, Ind. for allegedly molesting young children while babysitting and being employed at a therapy center for autistic children. Leomeir Vincennes Kennedy, 30, was charged with three counts of child molestation and one count of possession of child porn following an arrest on April 12. Kennedy is a biological female who identifies as a man and has been documenting his transition using testosterone. Johnson County court documents list him as a "trans male." I can report that Kennedy was previously known as Allison Kennedy and used to live in Vancouver,...

If we had strong leaders in the White House, which we do not, they would have stepped up to a podium somewhere after the mass shooting at Christian Covenant and the attack on champion swimmer, Riley Gaines by trans activists and tried to lower the temperature. Instead, just days after the shooting, the President took the opportunity to blame Republicans, especially those in Tennessee still reeling from a shocking massacre at a Christian school. From CNN: President Joe Biden is using International Transgender Day of Visibility on Friday to sharply criticize acts of violence and discrimination against Americans who identify...
