Nashville Journalist Faces Jail Time Over Trans School Shooter Manifesto Leak
Topic: Political Correctness

The FBI worried that releasing the diary could have “unintended consequences for the segment of the population more vulnerable or open to conspiracy theories, which will undoubtedly abound.” Self-professed “experts,” the FBI fears, will “proffer their perspectives” in the press. But there is a lot of important information in the diary. As is very typical of mass public shooters, the murderer was suicidal: “A terrible feeling to know I am nothing of the gender I was born of. I am the most unhappy boy alive. I wish to be dead.” She was also on the anti-anxiety drug Buspirone, whose potential side effects include “abnormal dreams, outbursts of anger, tremors, and physical weakness.” The FBI worries that the diary will help create a link in people’s minds between mass murderers and mental illness, but suicidal people presumably have some mental health problems. Nor should the link be particularly surprising given that the Crime Prevention Research Center shows that 51% of mass public shooters in the last 25 years were actually seeing mental health care professionals before their attacks. That is 2.5 times the rate in the general public.

Massive Study Finds. A growing number of young people subjected to transgender ideology at pediatric gender clinics say they wish they had known how common, and fleeting, feelings of transgenderism can be. “Young people, particularly young women, are very susceptible to social contagion. They are the most susceptible demographic,” Prisha Mosley, a detransitioner who now works with the Independent Women’s Forum, told Laura Ingraham Thursday evening. “And as for the 1% who continues to feel that way, they deserve ethical and data-based mental health care.”

US doctor indicted after reporting child trans procedures

The Biden administration has criminally charged a surgeon who exposed alleged secret sex-change treatments on minors in Texas. US federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against a surgeon who revealed that a Texas hospital was continuing to perform sex-change procedures on children – in violation of state law – after claiming that it had shut down the program. Dr. Eithan Haim was indicted earlier this week by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) on four felony charges for allegedly violating a patient-privacy law. US President Joe Biden’s administration had been threatening Haim with prosecution since last year, after the physician leaked documents to a journalist showing that Texas Children’s Hospital was still providing sex-change surgeries and hormone therapies to minors as young as 11. [Ed: I posted a similar item earlier, but it bears repeating.]

Tokyo’s Government Is Building Its Own Dating App To Combat Falling Birthrates

Called “Tokyo Futari Story,” the city hall’s new initiative is just that: An effort to create couples, “futari,” in a country where it is increasingly common to be “hitori,” or alone. While a site offering counsel and general information for potential lovebirds is online, a dating app is also in development. City hall hopes to offer it later this year, accessible through phone or web, a city official said Thursday. Details were still undecided. City Hall declined to comment on Japanese media reports that said the app will require a confirmation of identity, such as a driver’s license, your tax records to prove income and a signed form that says you are ready to get married.

... the case that could spark Supreme Court action was filed by the same group that successfully saw the practice of affirmative action overturned by the court last year. The controversial business practice known as “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) could soon see its legal challenges take it all the way to the Supreme Court. The current case saw an appeals court ultimately rule that a venture capital firm had to shut down its grant program that was exclusively for black women.

Estonia made the greatest improvements in the past year, obtaining 6 points. In order to help LGBTQ+ tourists travel safely, the German portal Spartacus started publishing the Gay Travel Index in 2012. In the 2024 edition, the ranking compared 213 countries and territories based on the situation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer people in each location. As Statista's Anna Fleck reports, according to the index, last year’s leading destination Malta is joined at the top by Spain, Canada, New Zealand and Portugal as the safest and most open places for LGBT+ travelers in 2024, with each of these five countries receiving 12 points. According to the report, Estonia made the greatest improvements in the past year, obtaining 6 points (in contrast to the previous index’s 2 points). This was thanks to the approval of the law in 2023 to legalize equal marriage. The first Latin American country to appear in the 2024 ranking is Uruguay, sharing the third position along with Denmark, Iceland, Germany and Norway, with 10 points each.

Aussie Government Fails To Force Elon Musk's X To Censor Content

“Freedom of speech has prevailed...” As we previously highlighted, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his government went to war with Musk, after the X owner refused demands to remove all copies of a video of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel being stabbed during a live streamed mass. Australia’s so called ‘eSafety Commissioner’ Julie Inman-Grant, an unelected official, ordered X to remove footage of the attack under the Online Safety Act, passed in 2021, which empowers the eSafety department to demand the removal of so-called ‘class 1 material’. In response, Musk urged that “no president, prime minister or judge has authority over all of Earth! This platform adheres to the laws of countries in those countries, but it would be improper to extend one country’s rulings to other countries. If [Albanese wants] to censor things in other countries, he should bring a legal action to bear in those countries.”

Term "Gynecologist" Offensive, According To Scholars
Topic: Political Correctness

Don’t say ‘breastfeeding, but ‘human milk feeding’. Midwives should avoid saying “gynecologist” in order to be more “inclusive,” according to a recent academic paper. Not because it sounds like “guy,” but because the word comes from the Greek for woman. Instead, say “reproductive health specialist.” The same scholars also say men can give birth. Other problematic words include “breastfeeding” and “breastmilk.” Instead, midwives should say “human milk feeding,” “human milk provision,” and “milk from the feeding parent.” The new language guide comes from Sally Pezaro (pictured), a professor and midwife who works at Coventry University in the United Kingdom.

But even that guy might be impressed by the sticky fingers of the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC), a tiny corner of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that managed to pilfer nearly $75 million in taxpayer money last year to maintain, among other things, an official government repository of "dad jokes." It's funny—but not in a good way.

Various Harvard staff and former staff are accusing Donovan of spreading misinformation or disinformation... For years, free speech advocates (including myself) have criticized the new rationalization for censorship in the cause of combating disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation. As discussed in my new book, The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage, there is a burgeoning cottage industry in academia in helping corporations and government agencies to target certain political, social, and scientific viewpoints. One of those centers is located at the Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy. Now, however, the faculty are accusing each other of misinformation over the departure of “misinformation and disinformation” expert Joan Donovan.

Israel says Hamas weaponised rape. Does the evidence add up?

Litigating sexual violence within a conflict is difficult enough at the best of times, not least on a battlefield of the scale and complexity of October 7, 2023. It becomes even harder without testimony from any survivors, the usual linchpin of such investigations. What would make the effort over October 7 harder still were the examples of false and misleading information from senior political figures and government-linked civil activists to those in the police and security services tasked with the official investigation. All this in an atmosphere of extreme national fear and trauma.

US state abortion ban exemptions aren’t vague by accident.
Topic: Abortion

Uncertainty is the point. Anyone who has lived under the control of an abusive partner or parent knows that the problem is not just what’s prohibited. It’s what you’re unsure is prohibited. The prospect of punishment instills fear. Vagueness about what will be punished promotes caution. Just in case, the teenager doesn’t hang out with certain friends. The teacher deletes the controversial book from the curriculum. The doctor decides not to perform an abortion when the patient’s health or life is at risk, but, maybe, not imminently so. This is what is happening across the 21 states that have banned abortion in all but the direst of circumstances. It’s what happened to Amanda Zurawski, an Austin, Texas, resident who learned at 18 weeks’ gestation that her cervix was prematurely dilated, spelling certain death for her fetus, already named Willow, and posing a grave threat to her own health.

Mike Rowe, the former host of the popular TV show “Dirty Jobs,” has a way of telling it like it is. He recently addressed a comment about his interview with former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines. He was asked by ‘Carol,’ “Is it my imagination, or have you and your podcast become more political? I enjoyed the interview with @Riley_Gaines_but was really surprised to see you ‘go there’ and speak so candidly about such a politically charged topic.” He has consistently criticized America’s dependence on higher education as the only path to success, as well as the rabid anti-Israel protests occurring on college campuses.

Last Friday, Bill Maher tore into the pro-Hamas activists who took over college campuses for most of the spring. It’s a commentary I’m surprised he hasn’t issued earlier, though he’s sprinkled his mockery and disdain for these little terrorists since the October 7 attacks. So, his new rule for these kids is that you can’t side with the people who carry on a dehumanizing and degrading regime against women without getting a taste of that medicine.

Literary festivals have caved to the anti-Israel cranks

A handful of petulant activists and C-list celebs have dealt a hammer blow to Britain’s cultural life. I don’t know about you, but if I was asked to draw up a list of the top 10 bastions of pro-Israel, pro-fossil-fuel establishments in Britain, literary festivals would be furthest from my mind. Yet they have become the latest target of that small band of activists who tend to view Israelis as baby-eaters and Hamas as lovable rough diamonds, and who think the worst crime one could ever commit in this country would be to drive a diesel car. Yesterday, The Times reported that investment-management firm Baillie Gifford is preparing to withdraw its sponsorship from all book festivals following a furious backlash from a group called Fossil Free Books. Last month, the Hay Festival cut ties with Baillie Gifford after several high-profile attendees withdrew in protest against the sponsor. The reason? Two per cent of the Baillie Gifford portfolio is invested in businesses related to fossil fuels.

The alphabet mafia, especially the TQ+ wing, is in the midst of a orgy of Queering of America. It is coming at the price, not just of women, but – ironically enough – gay youth. Youth that are being encouraged and applauded for physical mutilation. This is alarming beyond words. It’s not bad enough that “Pride” celebrations involve very adult entertainment (and yes, you’re a bad parent if you take your kids). From floats with gyrating men in jock straps to a pantheon of males in womanface, the month-long spectacle of Rainbow-hued bullying of the normies now includes the celebration of body mutilation.

The Pride movement has nothing to be proud of

The LGBT lobby has betrayed gay youngsters in the name of gender ideology. This year’s Pride Month has rarely seemed so pointless. After all, only the truly shameless in the LGBT activist set could feel any pride in 2024 – a year in which the rainbow-flag fliers’ betrayal of gay youngsters in the name of gender ideology was laid bare. The publication of the Cass Review in April exposed the scandal of the NHS’s treatment of ‘gender confused’ kids. It showed how the NHS’s Gender Identity Development Services (GIDS) subjected troubled, often gay youngsters to life-altering hormones, drugs and treatments. Yet when these same-sex-attracted young people needed a gay movement, it failed them. Stonewall, its principal representative, actively cheered on those encouraging gay youngsters to believe they were born in the wrong body. Former Stonewall CEO Ruth Hunt even warned parents that half their gender-distressed children would commit suicide without puberty blockers. At the same time, leading sections of the gay movement turned on anyone questioning the trans agenda
