Following the “Science” on Gender

Around the world, “trans” ideology has collapsed and medical professionals are stepping back from chemical and surgical interventions on young people. This is obviously a good thing, in my opinion, but there is much gnashing of teeth on the Left. The New York Times runs a piece by a liberal that focuses on how the purported scientific consensus on behalf of child mutilation fell apart: American advocates for youth gender medicine have insisted for years that overwhelming evidence favors providing gender dysphoric youth with puberty blockers, hormones and, in the case of biological females, surgery to remove their breasts.

Medical professionals are stepping back but the real question is why in the hell did they ever step forward? The whole idea is ridiculous and anti-life.

In their heart-of-hearts, the ones who convinced themselves that doing the impossible--changing one's sex--was possible ... allowed politics and mindless ideology to rule their reprobate minds. But the prospect of being sued into penury changes things. Several decades ago, a rough-hewn junkyard (literally) philosopher named Moses would occasionally call a local radio station, WFLA, and talk to host Mark Larsen. Moses was a man of faith. His philosophy was simple: "Prayer and ass whuppin' change things." And getting one's ass sued off if one really messes up. A litlgator with a good case and a good cause can be an alligator.

So glad to see John Hinderaker write on this travesty. He is the only one I read at PJM. The sciene has always said there were two sexes - male and female. Based upon chromosomes, hot "feelings". The lawsuits apparently brought the insanity down. Now the liberal Dems must let it go.

The SCIENCE is that there are only two sexes. Every single cell in a human body is imprinted from birth with either male chromosomes or female chromosomes. Nothing can EVER modify that. Some mentally deranged people, perhaps one in 30,000 IMAGINES in their derangement that they are the sex opposite of the one that they actually ARE. This mental illness should not be pandered to by mutilating and destroying the body of the person with a dysfunctional mind, but by trying to correct the mental dysfunction. And this hideous, unethical 'experiment' on humans has resulted is a substantial number of them being so violently mentally ill that they go out and murder large numbers of innocent people. Apparently the 'crimes' of these innocents is that "someone" has not "properly" respected the mental derangement, so these innocents are selected to die as proxies for some real or imagined 'disrespect'. The leftist and Democrat POLITICAL pathology which says that this mental illness should be catered to for political gain seems to be rooted in the leftist concept of intentionally destroying the family structure, as a way to demoralize and control people for the Democrat/leftist POLITICAL purposes. This 'transgender' move is scientifically fraudulent, morally abhorrent, very harmful to the sufferer of the mental derangement and all too often results in mass murder. Democrats/Leftists have selected this as another pathological way to harm people while loudly proclaiming that they are "saving them". One of my most fervent hopes is that we may be protected from those hideous people who have an unending internal drive to "help us"......to death, literally.

Too bad there are RINOs in the Senate, else the Republicans could reject any judicial candidate than cannot answer the question about how many genders there are.

Next month the most important political book of the year, or perhaps the decade, will be published. It is called The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control. The author is Jacob Siegel, a journalist for the Tablet. To summarize: shocked by the arrival of Donald Trump in 2016, American government officials, the media, and the technology giants created a system of censoring the public, spying on other opponents, and planting false stories. The media was complicit and will never fully recover. Trump’s rise, Siegel writes, “meant that politics had become war, as it is in many parts of the world,

California's progressives must really hate children. I don't know how else to explain this one. One of the dumber laws passed in California (and that's saying something) over the past decade is one designed to give parole hearings to elderly convicts. Initially, anyone who has served more than 25 years and was over 60 years old was given a second chance at freedom whether they deserved it or not. And the law led to absurd results like this one from way back in 2019: Victims of the notorious “Ski Mask Rapist” thought they could close the book on him after he was sentenced to more than 400 years in prison

I was once asked by my father—a couple of years ago—if there was a single Democrat in office whom I respected. The answer was easy: Ro Khanna. Obviously, I agree with Khanna on very few things and strongly oppose his positions on most public policy issues. But I thought Khanna was smart, honest, and well-meaning, and one of the few politicians who didn't lie his arse off all the time. I could see having a conversation with him without feeling the need for a long, hot shower. Welp. Another one bites the dust. Now that Khanna is obviously preparing to run for president, he has sold his soul to the devil,

I have been following debates over global warming since the 1990s. In the early days, the oil companies defended themselves both by challenging the bad science underlying the global warming theory and by pointing out the benefits of increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. At one time I had a VHS documentary called “The Greening of Planet Earth” on that topic. The benefits of CO2 are indisputable, as anyone who knows anything about photosynthesis–i.e. everyone who went to school before the collapse of recent years–will understand. The Sahara Desert is shrinking, while the rain forests are becoming more lush. That is the theme of this article by a NASA scientist: “Satellite

"This is AI slop. It is impossible that Newsom actually said this," social scientist Charles Murray posted in response to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest ham-fisted attempt at connecting with voters outside his state. "Right?" Murray added, and you could practically hear him begging for it not to be true. "Holy God in heaven please tell me that my black brothers in Christ can look at the world's stupidest white man and understand that he is a bad person," my old X acquaintance Political Math added.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly taken steps to prepare for the possibility of his assassination or removal as tensions with the United States and Israel intensify. According to a New York Times report published on Sunday, Khamenei elevated longtime ally Ali Larijani to serve as the country’s de facto decision-maker during January’s anti-government unrest. The move has effectively sidelined Iran’s elected president, Masoud Pezeshkian. Larijani, a former Revolutionary Guards commander and current secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, is now taking on an expanded role in the state’s affairs.

After the United States defeated Canada 2-1 in the highly-anticipated match on Sunday, Feb, 22, Larkin, 29, spoke to reporters, including PEOPLE, about how the team has remembered the former star during the Games.

But Feb. 22, 2026 saw Jack Hughes play the hero for the Americans. In a reversal of the 2010 Winter Olympics which saw Canada's Sidney Crosby with the Golden Goal, Hughes saw a magical golden goal of his own for Team USA.

President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union speech gave every American a front-row seat to see exactly who Democrats are — and more importantly, what they refuse to stand for. According to reports, more than 70 Democrats chose not to attend the speech, but most did, and several times over the course of the evening, they made a choice. They sat. They scowled. They heckled. While Republicans rose time and again in applause, the left side of the chamber looked like a group of children being punished. And Trump noticed. He called them out — repeatedly — for refusing to show even the most basic bipartisan enthusiasm for moments

The Democratic Party’s latest talking point against the SAVE Act is almost performance art in its absurdity. We are now expected to believe that birth certificates are mystical documents, whispered about in legend but never actually seen. They are simply too elusive for modern Americans to locate and too burdensome for a civilized society to require. Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, have both recently claimed they do not know where their vital records are, as though those documents vanished into the same void as missing socks. “I don’t have my birth certificate,” Sanders said last week. “God knows how I get it.”

Literally, refusing to stand. The President challenged Democrats to affirm their support for the American people over illegal immigrants. And they just couldn't do it. "I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle," he said, glaring at the Democrat side of the room. "If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support." The principle?

It’s secured access to a breakthrough semiconductor technology that will power the next generation of American military systems. Fighter jets that outperform anything else in the sky. Missile defense that can track threats twice as far. Electronic warfare capabilities that protect our troops and keep them coming home.

As NASA eases its Artemis II rocket back to the hangar for repairs this week – the second launchpad delay this month – it raises the question of whether this government agency should be in the manned spaceflight business at all anymore. To say that the Artemis program – which has so far cost taxpayers more than $93 billion – has been plagued with problems is an understatement. It has been a case study in bureaucratic bumbling, one made more obvious when compared with the rapid advances achieved by private space companies such as SpaceX. Here’s a brief timeline.

It’s no secret that in today’s Hollywood, artistic risk-taking often comes second to woke ideological conformity. Censorship, virtue signaling, and overprescribed outrage have become show-business-as-usual. Studios trip over themselves to inject far-left political messaging into nearly every script, award shows have become lectures, and entire careers can be derailed by a single viral moment that stokes a campaign of indignation. The industry’s obsession has created a climate where self-censorship is the norm and challenging the narrative is a career hazard.
