The AR-15-toting female who opened fire on worshippers at Lakewood Church in Houston on Sunday before she was killed by two off-duty law enforcement officers used a male name, making her one of several gender-confused shooters in recent years.

Conservative women's rights advocate Michelle Evans said she and her allies won't be stopped or silenced in their fight to defend women, even when being screamed at by "unhinged" transgender activists. The Round Rock Texas chapter leader for Independent Women’s Network was one of several speakers shouted down by transgender activists at a pro-women rally at the Texas Capitol.

(LifeSiteNews) — The era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is upon us, and the AI chatbot ChatGPT, released in November 2022, is one of the most-discussed technological developments in decades. AI is advancing so rapidly that many tech experts are calling on the industry to put a moratorium on further development in order to assess where this is heading, including Elon Musk and the “Godfather of AI” Geoffrey Hinton, who recently left Google in order to warn the public about the dangers of AI.

Alme is also transgender, according to Heraldscotland.com. Alme said on the morning TV program "Good Morning Norway" in 2022 that it had been a "lifelong wish" to have been born "a woman paralyzed from the waist down," the same source noted.

In a “call to arms” posted onto TikTok, a user who goes by the name “Tara” and who identifies as a “poly trans lesbian” threatened Christian conservatives and urged fellow travelers to “arm up” to fight them in a recent rant on the Chinese-owned platform. “If you back a wild animal into a corner, they will become a dangerous animal,” he said. “So if you want to die on that hill of yours of righteousness and moral majority, then you go right ahead.” Tara, who doesn’t come close to passing as female, threatened violence against women who object to biological...

Presidential candidate Donald Trump is promising a federal investigation into the risks of crime from the use of “transgender” drugs and hormones and mind-bending psychiatric drugs. “Upon my inauguration, I will direct the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] to convene — and it’s going to happen quickly — to convene an independent outside panel to investigate whether transgender hormone treatments and ideology increase the risk of extreme depression, aggression, and even violence,” Trump told the annual convention of the National Rifle Association. The comments come as Democrats are mobilizing their urban base by blaming guns for the Nashville shooting of...
