Father Of Gender Confused Says There’s Nothing Conservative About Blocking Care Or Something

By William Teach June 24, 2024 – 10:30 am

It’s rather maddening how quickly people bought into the transgender madness, that they’d willingly accept children engaging in what is really a fad, mostly driven by adults and peer pressure, rather than any real belief that the kids are “in the wrong body.” And it’s especially disturbing how quickly the parents bought into the fad, and, certainly, the notion of the kids believing they are trans must be driven by certain parents, considering how we hear that very young children are “trans”, instead of actually protecting their children from significant life-altering decisions

I’m the parent of a trans daughter. There’s nothing conservative about blocking her care.

I write as the proud father of a courageous, kind and empathetic 24-year-old transgender daughter to provide some insight into our family’s experience with gender-affirming care and hopefully to correct some of the most egregious misinformation about it.

In the past year, there has been a tsunami of anti-transgender legislation in the United States, with bills targeting transgender people introduced in nearly every state. These bills and their sponsors are supported by a richly financed group of anti-LGBTQ+ groups such as the Alliance Defending Freedom, which received more than $96 million in contributions and grants in its 2022 fiscal year.

Planned Parenthood is dumping $40 million into the 2024 election cycle. A coalition of abortion on demand groups will dump at least $100 million.

Most distressing is this network’s focus on banning gender-affirming care for adolescents, which has been passed into law in 25 states. We know from our own experience just how radical and cruel these laws are.

When our daughter came out to us as transgender just before her 16th birthday, we listened to her intently, trying to understand what she was going through and how we could best support her. And we questioned, like many parents of transgender children do initially, whether this was just a phase that she would outgrow. In hindsight, we didn’t really comprehend then what it would mean for her to be transgender, but we understood clearly that she was suffering.

Your son. “She” is biologically male. It is not just cruel, but, insane and child abuse to not only let a child take all sorts of drugs but mutilated their bodies. It’s all elective. If they do nothing their health will not suffer, especially if you get them mental health help from a proper professional who hasn’t been captured by the trans cult. Helping the minors “transition” is a dereliction of parental duties.

One of the most common misconceptions about being transgender is that it reflects a choice, closely related to the false narrative of “social contagion” whereby children allegedly are influenced to identify as transgender by peer pressure, especially through social media.

However, when we consulted experts in transgender care, we came to understand what a federal court at the time found after hearing the evidence: “that being transgender is not a ‘preference,’ that being transgender has a medically-recognized biological basis, and that it is an innate and non-alterable status.”

You should have searched out other professionals.

Critics of gender-affirming care for adolescents baselessly claim that children are rushed into such care, but the opposite is true: A recent study found that the median wait time for transgender adolescents is 10 months between contacting a clinic and receiving puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.

It’s child abuse. If they want to do this after they are adults, they are welcome to do this. Otherwise, kids cannot consent to significant medical procedures, and parents should be arrested and charged with child abuse.

Our daughter achieved substantial relief from her depression and dysphoria once she started taking puberty blockers and then initiated hormone therapy. She has told us, and repeated publicly, that she may not have survived her teen years without this medically necessary care. Those who would deny teens this medically necessary care can offer no medically approved alternative therapy whatsoever.

Somehow, this is all supposed to be conservative values to not only allow this, but, to support it? Get bent. You should lose your parental rights and be jailed.

I was a registered Republican for decades, and I know there is nothing conservative about interposing the state between a child and their parents and physicians who know best how to care for that child.

Complete hogwash. You can bet that if this fad started while Reagan was around he’d say to wait for the kids to become adults, rather than believe in their fad fantasies. Hormone therapy for children is not safe, and is blocked in a good chunk of nations, including most European ones. Elective procedures and mutilation seems like the path of least resistance for many of these parents. The “experts” being consulted are the same ones who push all this stuff on children.

Climate Wackos Run Onto 18th At PGA Event, Spray Powder, Scare People

By William Teach June 24, 2024 – 7:00 am

This is the continuing example of what happens when the Credentialed Media, the government, teachers, and others continuously trot out stories of doom and gloom, indoctrinating people as well as Jim Jones, Charles Manson, and the leaders of Heaven’s Gate. This is the work of Extinction Rebellion, which many news outlets failed to mention

Six climate protesters run onto 18th green and spray powder, delaying finish of PGA Tour event

Six people protesting climate change stormed the 18th green while the leaders were lining up their putts on the final hole of regulation at the PGA Tour’s Travelers Championship on Sunday, delaying the finish for about five minutes.

The protesters sprayed white and red powder, leaving stains on the grass before Scottie Scheffler, Tom Kim and Akshay Bhatia finished their rounds. At least one member of the group was wearing a white T-shirt with the words “NO GOLF ON A DEAD PLANET” in black lettering on the front.

“I was scared for my life,” Bhatia said after finishing in a tie for fifth — four strokes behind Scheffler, who earned his sixth victory of the year. “I didn’t even really know what was happening. … But thankfully the cops were there and kept us safe, because that’s, you know, that’s just weird stuff.”

After the protesters were tackled by police and taken off, Scheffler left a potential 26-foot clincher from the fringe on the right edge of the cup, then tapped in for par. Kim, who trailed by one stroke heading into the final hole, sank a 10-foot birdie putt to tie Scheffler and send the tournament to a sudden-death playoff.

Do these sound like rational people, or ones who should be held on a psych hold?

The crowd surrounding the 18th green heckled the protesters by yelling profanities and cheered the police who intervened.

After the players putted out in regulation, workers with leaf blowers came out to clean off the remaining powder, and the hole location was moved for the playoff, which began on No. 18. Scheffler beat Kim with a par on the first playoff hole.

Yup, they actually had to cut a new hole, something I have never seen happen on the same day in any tournament

WWIII Watch: Ukraine Hits Crimea Beach, Russia Blames U.S.

By William Teach June 24, 2024 – 6:45 am

Why blame the whole United States? Why blame you and me? Blame Biden and the people who back sending all those arms to Ukraine

Russia Blames U.S. for Deadly Ukraine Missile Strike on Crimean Beach

Russian authorities said six people died and over 100 were wounded in Ukrainian drone and missile attacks on Sunday, while the second day of Russia’s aerial bombing of Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine killed at least one person.

Among the dead were five people – including two children – who were hit by falling debris from Ukrainian missiles that were shot down over a coastal area in Sevastopol, a port city in Russia-annexed Crimea, said Mikhail Razvozhayev, the city’s Moscow-installed governor. Another person died in Grayvoron city in Russia’s Belgorod region, bordering Ukraine, regional Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said.

Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, citing the Health Ministry, said 124 people were wounded in Sevastopol. Falling rocket fragments caused a forest fire of over 150 square meters (1,600 square feet) and set a residential building alight, RIA Novosti said, noting that a fifth missile had exploded over the city.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said both Ukraine and the U.S. bore “responsibility for a deliberate missile strike on civilians.” It said that U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles were used in the Ukranian attack.

This is going well

(NBC News) “All flight missions for the American ATACMS operational-tactical missiles are entered by American specialists based on U.S.’ own satellite reconnaissance data,” the ministry said in a statement. “Therefore, responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on civilians in Sevastopol lies primarily with Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, as well as the Kyiv regime, from whose territory this attack was launched.”

(NDTV) A Russian defence ministry statement said Ukraine had committed a “terrorist attack on the civilian infrastructure of Sevastopol with US-supplied ATACMS tactical missiles loaded with cluster warheads”.

Fortunately, Biden is on vacation, as usual.

UN Chief Seems To Blame Israel For Being Attacked By Hezbollah

By William Teach June 23, 2024 – 7:00 am

Is the United Nations chief aware of Hezbollah being a designated terrorist group by the U.S., EU, and 60 nations, as well as the United Nations?

UN chief warns of catastrophe ‘beyond imagination’ if Lebanon ‘becomes another Gaza’

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Friday he is profoundly concerned by escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group, and said that UN peacekeepers are working to calm the situation and prevent miscalculation.

“One rash move — one miscalculation — could trigger a catastrophe that goes far beyond the border, and frankly, beyond imagination,” he told reporters. “Let’s be clear: The people of the region and the people of the world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza.”

Iran-backed Hezbollah has been firing rockets and launching drones at Israel on a near-daily basis since October 8 in attacks it says are in solidarity with Hamas since the war in Gaza erupted on October 7 with the Palestinian terror group’s devastating attack.

By saying “cannot afford to become another Gaza” he seems to be blaming Israel for being attacked by a internationally designated terrorist group operating out of a foreign nation.

Under Resolution 1701, adopted in 2006 to bring an end to the war between Israel and Hezbollah terrorists, UN peacekeepers were deployed to monitor a ceasefire along the 120-kilometer (75-mile) demarcation line, or Blue Line, between Israel and Lebanon.

They’re doing one fuckall of a wonderful job, eh?

“UN peacekeepers are on the ground working to de-escalate tensions and help prevent miscalculation,” Guterres said.

“The world must say loudly and clearly: immediate de-escalation is not only possible – it is essential,” he said. “There is no military solution.”

Well, stop Hezbollah from attacking Israel, especially since they intentionally attack civilian targets.

How the UN emboldened Hezbollah terror regime as war with Israel imminent: ‘Complete failure’

Nearly nine months of mounting tension between Israel and the radical Islamic Shiite terror group Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon looked set to implode this week after the U.S.-designated terror organization fired hundreds of missiles and rockets into northern Israel and the Israeli military responded with air strikes deeper inside Lebanon.

As communities on both sides of the border reported widespread damage and destruction, leaders in each country ramped up the rhetoric, with Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah saying Wednesday that “an invasion of the Galilee remains on the table,” and Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz declaring on X: “We are getting very close to the moment of deciding to change the rules of the game against Hezbollah and Lebanon. In an all-out war, Hezbollah will be destroyed, and Lebanon severely beaten.” (snip)

Jonathan Conricus, who previously served as the Israeli military liaison with UNIFIL, as well as the army’s special representative to the U.N., told Fox News Digital that “the whole security architecture of Resolution 1701, its framework, its implementation, and even its mandate, everything is a complete failure.”

Now a Senior Fellow at the Washington D.C.-based Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), Conricus said the resolution “failed to prevent the military buildup of Hezbollah and it failed to prevent the conditions for a third Lebanon War, which we now see unfolding.”

Wait, did people actually think the United Nations would help the situation? Especially so many are Israel haters and supporters of Islamic terrorism, because they’re into all that multiculturalism and intersectionality, just being straight up dhimmis? The article is long, worth the read.

(JPost) “The conflict along the Blue Line between Israel and Hezbollah has gone on for long enough,” Hochstein said. “Innocent people are dying. Property is damaged. Families are shattered, and the Lebanese economy continues to decline. The country is suffering for no good reason. It’s in everyone’s interest to resolve it quickly and diplomatically. That is both achievable and urgent.”

It has to be asked if Lebanon is tired of having this terrorist organization in the nation, causing all sorts of issues.

Greenest Olympics Ever: US Team To Bring Their Own AC

By William Teach June 22, 2024 – 3:00 pm

There have been numerous stories about the Paris Olympics, which they said will be super climate cult compliant, so, they were cutting air conditioning, because AC is Bad for global boiling. But, many nations have said “nah, we’re bringing our own, to go with our massive fossil fueled jet and SUV travel.” And no, officially

This has nothing to do with the environment, just a doomsday cult, where all the people who believe in it always want Other People to bear the burden for their beliefs

(AP) The U.S. Olympic team is one of a handful that will supply air conditioners for their athletes at the Paris Games in a move that undercuts organizers’ plans to cut carbon emissions.

U.S. Olympic and Paralympic CEO Sarah Hirshland said Friday that while the U.S. team appreciates efforts aimed at sustainability, the federation would be supplying AC units for what is typically the largest contingent of athletes at the Summer Games.

“As you can imagine, this is a period of time in which consistency and predictability is critical for Team USA’s performance,” Hirshland said. “In our conversations with athletes, this was a very high priority and something that the athletes felt was a critical component in their performance capability.” (snip)

“It’s a high-performance environment,” Australian Olympic Committee spokesman Strath Gordon explained to The Post.

Have you noticed that Warmists always have an excuse for why they aren’t conforming to their beliefs? Always giving themselves an out? What about the parents with 3 kids who find a small EV inconvenient? Do they get a waiver? Are they excused from complying with government mandates? Or, is it only Special People, rather than the common folk?

Will Voters In SCNY Vote To End Sanctuary Status?

By William Teach June 22, 2024 – 10:30 am

If they get the question on the ballot, what will they do in Sanctuary City New York?

Put ‘sanctuary city’ on the ballot so NYC voters can halt the migrant crime crisis

Americans before illegalsYour kids aren’t safe even in broad daylight.

Last week, an Ecuadorian migrant held two 13-year-olds, a girl and a boy, at knifepoint in a Queens park as they walked home from school.

He was arrested Tuesday for allegedly sexually assaulting the girl and stealing the teens’ phones.

There is a remedy.

In November, voters nationwide will get to choose between the Democratic Party’s open-border policy and Republican Donald Trump’s promise to deport millions who have come to the US illegally.

Biden set the standard with his border EO: Trump can just say the number is 100 encounters a day

But New York City voters deserve to have an added choice on Election Day: that of keeping our lunatic “sanctuary city” laws that shield migrant criminals from deportation, or repealing those local ordinances.

Repeal would allow migrant criminals to be deported after their first offense — before they have a chance to go on to rape and murder.

Last week, eight members of the City Council’s Common Sense Caucus fired off a letter to the Charter Revision Commission — the body that holds the power to put questions on the ballot in November — explaining that the City Council has refused to repeal our disastrous sanctuary city laws.

Since the City Council won’t act, they argued, let voters decide.

So, if the question is on the ballot, what will the majority decide? You can bet most of the Elites will vote to continue being a sanctuary city, because the city doesn’t let the illegals hang out in the toney and well to do parts of SCNY, just where the middle and working class live.

Of course, allowing illegals into SCNY in the first place is dangerous: how many have committed serious crimes for their first offense? And, sure, New Yorkers commit crime, too, but, they are Americans. These illegals shouldn’t even be in the nation, and are just here to take advantage of the U.S., not be a part of the melting pot.

Right On Schedule, The Atlantic Whines About Other People Using Air Conditioning

By William Teach June 22, 2024 – 7:00 am

It’s seems to be a yearly rite of passage, where some outlet complains about AC at this time of the year, and it’s certainly not the first The Atlantic article that does this over the years

America the Air-Conditioned

As a heat wave spreads across America, the whirring of air conditioners follows close behind. AC has become an American necessity—but at what cost?

First, here are three new stories from The Atlantic:

A single piece of technology has made recent heat waves safer and more bearable than they’d be otherwise. The trusty air conditioner doesn’t just cool us off—it has shaped the way we live in America, my colleague Rebecca J. Rosen wrote in The Atlantic in 2011. AC changed home design and reoriented workdays; it even arguably influenced the way that Congress operates, by expanding the legislative calendar into the summer. Robust at-home cooling helped make living in fast-growing regions such as the Southwest more appealing—and that region has reshaped American politics and life. (One author even credits AC with getting Ronald Reagan elected.)

It wasn’t always this way. In the early 20th century, AC was generally reserved for public spaces; around 1940, well under 1 percent of American homes had AC. But in the decades that followed, the technology found its way into more households. By 2001, about 77 percent of homes had AC. Now some 90 percent of American homes use air-conditioning, according to a 2020 federal-government survey. AC was once seen by many Americans as a nice-to-have, rather than a necessity. But in recent decades, Americans have experienced an attitude shift: Pew polling found that in 2006, 70 percent of people considered AC a necessity, compared with about half who viewed it that way a decade earlier. And the country has only gotten hotter since then.

Well, having a modern lifestyle with modern conveniences is progress, right? Most people couldn’t afford a computer in the Reagan era: now everyone has one, it seems, including a phone that can do an amazing amount of things.

The environmental cost of air-conditioning puts users in an impossible predicament. The United Nations warned last year that global energy used for cooling could double by 2050, and that it could make up 10 percent of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions at that point. At least until more efficient cooling is widespread, AC will contribute to the rising heat that makes it essential.

Does anyone want to bet that The Atlantic has an AC in its office(s)? How about Warmist Lora Kelley? AC at home? Turns it on in the car? How about all the Warmists who read the article and said “yeah, AC is bad”: have they shut theirs off?
