This week in trendy, innovative cosmetic mutilations for LGBTQ+++™ community members that will further enrich the butchers surgeons at gender-affirming clinics across the country, we have “shoulder width reduction surgery.” Since the advent of medicine itself, a doctor’s first commitment – the Prime Directive of medicine – has been “to first do no harm.” Surgical interventions requiring anesthesia, which inherently involve substantial risk to the patient, were once last-ditch treatments for actual medical conditions where other, less invasive interventions had failed. Now they’re trivialized as a cosmetic thing, on par with an ear piercing or a manicure. Basically, shoulder width reduction works by sawing a section of the clavicle off

Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, ripped into the media after a veteran ABC journalist suggested Republicans' rhetoric is partially to blame for the crisis at the southern border. Abbott responded Tuesday to a clip from his interview with Martha Raddatz after she said she had never heard President Biden use the term "open border" while instead recounting such rhetoric from Abbott, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and former President Donald Trump. Abbott told "Jesse Watters Primetime" that Raddatz's claim that such messaging "reverberates in Mexico and beyond" while being acted upon by cartel smugglers is simply untrue. "It's just crazy to suggest anything like that," he said.

The question in the title needs, I believe, critical examination. Why DOES the Left hate Trump so much? The answer, as usual, can largely be found by analyzing history. But first. Do they hate him because the average price of a gallon of gas in his administration was far lower than under Biden? Is it because inflation was low (around 2%) and trending downward? Is it that the USA was energy independent and didn’t need to beg our enemies for oil, deplete our strategic oil reserve or sell it to China? Is it because black and Hispanic unemployment was lower than at any time in history?
Our President, the Pathological Liar replies

The sad reality is that the President of the United States, Joe Biden, is a pathological liar. This is not a new personality trait for our Commander-in-Chief, but a characteristic that has been apparent throughout his 52-year political career. Biden has been telling lies, including massive untruths, for decades. It is a major reason he had to exit the 1988 presidential campaign. He lied about his law school grades and plagiarized speeches from United Kingdom Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock. Regularly, Biden lies about his childhood, his family, his academic career, and his record as a politician. Does anyone really believe that, as a young lifeguard,

Our latest I&I/TIPP Poll finds that three years since COVID-19 appeared in the U.S., almost 40% of adults think it’s a good idea to mask up children under 5. As President Joe Biden might say, we have two words for such parents: Shame. On. You. And double shame on you for those liberal Democrats who like to preen about how they “listen to the science.” Shame on you for ignoring the data about who is at risk from COVID. For failing to put this risk in perspective. And shame on you for ignoring the long-term psychological damage you’re inflicting on

I have been watching the TV series The Chosen, and it’s a remarkable experience to see such a depiction of Jesus’ life through the eyes of the people who knew Him. (snip) Jesus loved children so much that I felt genuine anguish upon learning the Vatican has defrocked a priest for speaking up in defense of the unborn children of the world— (snip) Frank Pavone has been made into a layperson. He is the leader of an anti-abortion group, Priests for Life, and the Vatican issued a snarky statement

Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz denounced the Jan. 6 committee as a “kangaroo court” that produced a worthless report that should be “thrown in the wastebasket.” In an interview Monday evening on Newsmax TV, the eminent lawyer said that “not only is [the Justice Department] not obligated to do anything, it is obligated not to do anything” in response to the panel’s recommendations Monday that former President Donald Trump be prosecuted. According to Mr. Dershowitz, the panel operated against the spirit of one of only two civil-liberties provisions in the original Constitution,

Evidently, the sham Unselect J6 Committee had its final hearing earlier today. Liz Cheney was droning on about Donald Trump behind a microphone again. And they continued to push their lies about the January 6, 2021, protests and Fed-induced riots. From what we hear the committee of hard-left Democrats referred some more bogus charges against President Trump. They never had anything on Trump. They still don’t. The Gateway Pundit ignored the final hearing. So did The New York Post, FOX News, Newsmax, and the rest of the country. This upset far left CNN crank Oliver Darcy.

It's lights, camera, action on America's southern border. But progressive hero, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is nowhere to be seen. That's curious. Usually, she can't resist a close-up. This Sunday, every major network news was laser-focused on a humanitarian crisis primed to explode along the U.S. Mexico border, as the last remaining shred of President Donald Trump's illegal immigration policies are about to be scrapped. President Joe Biden is now reportedly scrambling to create a new emergency policy before Title 42, a public health rule allowing border patrol to quickly expel migrants, is eliminated Wednesday.

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “At This Hour,” El Paso, TX City Council Representative Claudia Rodriguez stated that even if Title 42 is extended, it’s too late because people are already coming to the border expecting that Title 42 will be lifted later this week, “and even if they get here and Title 42 remains, the people that are going to be then handling a humanitarian crisis are our neighbors in Juarez.” She added that Juarez is also not prepared to deal with the influx of people. Host Kate Bolduan asked, “If it was even possible, would extending Title 42 be the answer at this point?”
