The Lindsay Clancy Case Exposes Pro-Lifers’ ‘Second Victim’ Lie– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Three children are dead at Lindsay Clancy’s hand, yet a rotten culture has rallied to make her the central victim. That reflex exposes a deep connection between Big Pro-Life, feminism, and wokeness. We cannot establish justice until we confront it.

Big Pro-Life insists that a mother who intentionally kills her preborn child is abortion’s “second victim,” not a morally responsible agent. The response to Lindsay Clancy carries that same presumption outside the womb: The mother is centered as victim, and accountability is recast as cruelty.

Hundreds of women have rallied in pink to support her. More than 31,000 donors have given more than $1 million to offset her parents’ costs of standing beside her. Three children are dead at their mother’s hand, yet she has become the central object of public sympathy, solidarity, and financial support.

Whether Clancy lacked criminal responsibility because of genuine mental incapacity must be judged according to evidence and due process. The scandal is that the culture answered that question in her favor before the jury could, directing its emotional energy toward her rather than her three dead children.

Amid ruinous pro-trans policies advanced by Democrat lawmakers around the country and a seemingly interminable string of horrific attacks allegedly plotted and/or executed by trans-identifying radicals, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services commissioned a study on the connection between gender ideology and leftist authoritarian beliefs.

The findings in the study published on Wednesday are damning — but likely won’t surprise anyone who has been paying attention.

‘Greater political liberalism independently predicted higher justification of political violence as well.’

The new study commissioned by HHS, titled “Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left- Wing Authoritarian Psychology?,” is the latest addition to the genre of scientific literature confirming what the right already knew.

The research team behind the study included Joel Finkelstein, chief science officer and co-founder of the Network Contagion Research Institute; Lee Jussim, head of the Social Perception Laboratory at Rutgers University; and Colin Wright, an evolutionary biologist who serves as a fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

Together, they developed a “Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale,” measuring endorsement of five positions related to gender ideology.

USAID report finds more than 100 UNRWA employees participated in Hamas atrocities on Oct. 7

The agency referred a former United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees school teacher and Hamas operative for debarment for allegedly receiving and holding civilian hostages beginning on October 7, 2023.

By Misty Severi, August 26, 2026 8:25pm

The United States’ Agency for International Development’s Inspector General’s office announced Wednesday that it has referred more than 100 current or former employees of a United Nations relief agency to the State Department over their participation in the October 7 terror attacks in Israel.

The referrals include three people they suggested be debarred by the department, including a former United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees school teacher and Hamas operative who allegedly received and held civilian hostages beginning on October 7, 2023.

The agency did not give a full number of employees it referred, but said its investigation has resulted in one total debarment so far, after the individual was found to have coordinated communications with other suspected Hamas members during the terror attacks while serving as an UNRWA school principal.

This summer, America played host to one of the biggest international events on the planet, the World Cup, drawing millions of foreigners to our cities and towns, our stadiums and our national parks, where many of them had never been before.

The consensus was, America is awesome — visitors from Bolivia, Scotland, Uzbekistan and everywhere in between marveled at the sheer size of our great nation, the diversity of our topography, the deliciousness of our foodstuffs and, perhaps most importantly, the kindness of our people. (Not to mention, our eighth wonder of the world — Buc-ee’s.)

What a difference a month makes.

Despite our friends in far-flung places singing our praises, now, to hear our closest neighbors tell it, America is nothing but a “ bully” and a “ thug.”

After trade negotiations with Canada collapsed this week, and President Donald Trump announced a whopping 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods — including Canadian whiskey and hockey sticks — it’s no surprise our friends to the north are less than pleased with their downstairs neighbors.

In our defense, not all of us are responsible for electing the bully and thug in question — and if polls are any indication, most Americans agree with Canada that Trump is doing a terrible job. But still, it’s hard to hear.

A Desperate El-Sayed Campaign Is Now Tapping the Old Soviet Propaganda Playbook – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

In Michigan, you don’t have to wait for the ballots to hit the streets for the shenanigans to start in the hotly contested Senate race that pits Hasan Piker’s BFF Abdul El-Sayed against Republican Mike Rogers, a former U.S. congressional representative and a military veteran. In two separate investigations, the Washington Free Beacon has exposed some questionable tactics the Democrats appear to be using to trick the electorate into thinking El-Sayed is someone he’s not. The whole mess is reminiscent of Soviet-style communist propaganda tactics.

The first involves allegations that the El-Sayed campaign paid a black pastor $82,500 to host the controversial Democrat candidate at a “clergy round table” in order to try to shore up the black vote for the campaign.

The second investigation centers on revelations that a “Soros-funded fake news site falsely identified Abdul El-Sayed as ‘Veteran’” in a mailer that was sent to voters.

On the matter of that pseudo church donation, the Free Beacon reported that when El-Sayed showed up at that “’clergy round table’ with a black Detroit pastor to whom the El-Sayed campaign has quietly paid $82,500 for ‘strategic consulting,’” he did so after realizing that black voters aren’t all that into him.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) compared President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement to the Confederacy.

Pressley made the remarks Monday at Roxbury Community College in Boston while campaigning for Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) in his primary race against Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA).

“It is bigger than Trump,” Pressley said. “Because whenever we do the work of ousting the occupant of the Oval Office, the Confederacy is still alive and well. That’s all MAGA is.”

“White supremacy is still alive and well,” she continued. “Anti-blackness will still be alive and well.”

Markey is seeking another term in the Senate but faces a Democrat primary challenge from Moulton. Pressley endorsed Markey in March after previously considering a Senate campaign of her own.

In announcing her endorsement, Pressley pointed to their work together on immigration, criminal justice, and other progressive priorities.

“I am proud to endorse his re-election so we can continue advancing the justice-driven solutions our communities need to not only survive, but thrive,” Pressley said.

 

Seattle Police scraps hiring bonuses despite extreme staffing shortage | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

EXCERPT:

Katie Wilson previously wrote before she was elected mayor, “There’s a strong argument for simply disbanding police departments and starting over.”

The Seattle Police Department will eliminate its officer hiring incentives beginning Sept. 1, citing an uncertain budget outlook even as the department remains hundreds of deployable officers short of its staffing goal, hiring is running behind 2025 levels, and officer departures are on pace for their worst year since 2023.

The decision comes after Seattle spent years and millions of dollars attempting to rebuild a police force decimated during the city’s defund era. It also comes under Mayor Katie Wilson, who before taking office advocated cutting SPD’s budget in half, argued there was a case for disbanding police departments and once said activists wanted to move toward a future “entirely without SPD.”

SPD confirmed Wednesday that it will stop offering incentives to both entry-level recruits and experienced officers transferring from other agencies. Applicants already moving through the hiring process, along with those who apply before the end of August, will remain eligible for the bonuses.

“A decision has been made to stop the hiring incentives until a time when the budget forecast for the Seattle Police Department is clear,” SPD told KOMO News. “We have a responsibility to the people of Seattle to provide the best police service while also being fiscally responsible. We will continue to hire some of the highest quality candidates in the country and are dedicated to helping keep Seattle a safe and welcoming city.”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he was “deeply saddened” by the death of a Rikers Island inmate charged with murdering a shop owner with a meat cleaver in an unprovoked attack.

“I am deeply saddened by the death of a New Yorker in City custody at a jail on Rikers Island early this morning,” Mamdani said. “My thoughts are with his family and loved ones as they grieve this loss.”

Mamdani said officials have not yet determined what caused the inmate’s death.

“We do not yet know the cause of death, but we do know that too many New Yorkers have died on Rikers Island,” he said.

The Department of Correction and its oversight partners will investigate the circumstances surrounding the death, according to Mamdani. The mayor also renewed his administration’s commitment to improving conditions in the city’s jail system and closing Rikers Island “as quickly as possible.”

The inmate had been charged with killing a shop owner in an unprovoked meat-cleaver attack. Clarence Woodward, a 39-year-old homeless parolee, was arrested following the August 8, 2024, attack at the 303 Laundromat in the Bronx. He was charged with murder, manslaughter, and assault.

Images showed what appeared to be the second floors of buildings in Nepal’s hard-hit Nuwakot district slathered in mud after the torrent rushed by. Debris hung from tree branches and wires, vehicles were buried and some stunned survivors were caked in mud.

Early in-person voting begins Friday, September 18. A simple majority would adopt or reject the amendment and the result would not return to the General Assembly or the governor.

Olivia Gans Turner, director of the Virginia Society for Human Life, said the proposal is not the modest health-care measure described on the ballot.

“We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame / We’ll fight for the gospel, we’ll honor his name,” Piker sang while the crowd and co-hosts laughed along.

“You have Hasan Piker, who these days is kind of just the Democrat Party spokesman, who just this weekend continued to mock Charlie’s death,” Gonzales says.

“It’s funny that a husband and a father was brutally murdered, assassinated in broad daylight for the entire world to see on film. It’s so funny. It’s so funny that he was murdered because he was speaking freely,” she continues.

“It’s so funny that Hasan Piker is out here mocking the death and somehow is still a hero to the left even though he literally calls for people to be murdered,” she adds, playing a clip of Piker saying that property owners should be killed.

Qatar is singled out as a particularly significant source of foreign funding and institutional relationships.

A sweeping new report from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) alleges that Muslim Brotherhood-aligned networks have established influence across the Canadian government, electoral politics, charities, civil society, and universities, while exploiting gaps in government oversight and foreign-funding transparency.

The nearly 200-page report, Assault on Democratic Values and Principles: How Islamist Entryism Weakens Civil Society and Higher Education in Canada, argues that the activity should not be viewed as a collection of unrelated organizations or incidents, but as part of a “structured transnational strategy” involving ideological entrenchment, institutional embedding, narrative control, political mobilization, and legal protection.

“Canada’s challenge is not simply the presence of individual extremist voices or isolated institutional weakness. The report maps how interconnected ideological networks acquire legitimacy, institutional access, public funding, political influence, and protection from scrutiny,” ISGAP Executive Director Dr. Charles Asher Small said in announcing the report.

“Canadian democracy is built on openness, robust notions of citizenship, pluralism, civil liberties, and public trust,” Small added. “These principles must not be exploited to shield foreign influence, ideological entryism, antisemitism, or efforts to weaken democratic accountability.”

The Canadian left went woke while the American left was still pulling up its britches. Ever since rock-star politician Pierre Trudeau appeared on the scene in the late 1960s, Canada has been hopelessly, wildly, self-consciously hard-left-wing.

He made Canada a bilingual nation in 1969 and declared a policy of “multiculturalism” in 1971. He decriminalized homosexuality in 1967, long before American leftists made gays a kind of mascot for their agenda.

Like JFK in the U.S., Pierre Trudeau attracted a lot of female worship: “Trudeaumania,” they called it. Politics as entertainment wasn’t born in Canada, but the radical left saw Trudeau’s mass appeal as a means to an end.

It should come as no surprise, then, that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s (CBC) Basem Boshra, who is the Senior Director of Journalistic Standards and Public Trust at CBC News, sent out a memo recently, instructing its news staff how to report on the upcoming 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

“Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks,” Mr. Boshra wrote, “all in bold letters, italicized, as if to emphasize the point,” according to Warren Kinsella of the Toronto Star, who saw the memo.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s attitude that the U.S. military is all about killing people is “not healthy.”

Kelly said, “I think the secretary of defense has done the members of the military a big disservice by the way he’s been conducting himself in his job, getting on a stage, talking about killing people and lethality. And you know, that attitude from the top, it’s not healthy for members of the military to hear this. I mean, just the stuff he was saying today, so you could see why officers who have attended service academies—imagine if you went to West Point, and every day you’re walking by that plaque where it says when the law and orders are in conflict, you follow the law, and you think about that, you think about some of the things that the military is being asked to do. And you have a secretary of defense that’s talking about setting records, 10,000 targets struck in this period of time. And now we set a new record, 12,000. Now 14,000, by the way, on the heels of what seemed to be a horrific mistake, where a Tomahawk missile goes into a school and kills over 100 Iranian schoolgirls. But then, not to dismiss that and continue with this, with this attitude of we’re just about killing people.”

He added, “The U.S. military’s better than that. I mean, we’re supposed to be the good guys here who have a moral compass and have values, and could conduct ourselves with a certain amount of constraint and professionalism. And when I watch the secretary of defense, almost every single time he goes in front of a camera, I see the opposite of that.”

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who is running against Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) in November, indicated he would reluctantly comply with New York’s new anti-ICE law. But in doing so, he intends to join a federal lawsuit challenging the measure.

The law in question bans local police from entering into or continuing their cooperation agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Nassau was one of nine New York counties that had the agreements, which allowed state law enforcement agencies to detain illegal immigrants and conduct other immigration enforcement activities in coordination with the federal government.

Hochul’s statewide ban on the 287(g) cooperation agreements took effect Tuesday, forcing Blakeman to abide by the new law.

“This is one of the saddest days of my life as county executive,” the Republican official said at a Wednesday press conference.

“I am a law-and-order county executive,” he added. “I believe in the rule of law — even when it’s a bad law. And this is a very, very bad and dangerous law. But we don’t get to pick and choose the laws that we have to enforce or abide by.”

Nick Timothy MP, Britain’s shadow justice secretary, just put numbers on something that’s been muttered about for years. Ministry of Justice data shows one in five Muslim prisoners in England and Wales is white. That’s nearly four times the rate in the general population. White Muslim inmates went from 2,767 in 2022 to 3,218 by June 2025. Overall, Muslim numbers in prison rose from 14,037 to 16,051 in the same stretch. They’re now about 18 percent of the prison population in a country where Muslims are only 6.5 percent of everyone else.

Timothy says the gap “raises serious questions.” Experts have been warning for a long time about Muslim gangs pushing conversions behind bars. He wants the Labour government to look into it properly. The Ministry of Justice’s answer is the usual line: they don’t tolerate intimidation or faith-based coercion. Okay. That still doesn’t explain the figures.

Not every conversion is forced, of course. Some guys convert for the structure, the food, or just to have people watching their back. Some white Muslims grew up in the faith. Fair enough. It still doesn’t account for the size of the shift.

Jonathan Hall KC, who reviews terrorism legislation, found Muslims running parts of prisons as self-styled “emirs.” They pull in lonely or vulnerable inmates with food, advice, small gifts — and sometimes the threat of violence.

For all his self-created lore of being a consummate dealmaker, President Donald Trump actually sucks at deals, mostly using legal threats and actions to bully his way to his preferred outcomes.

And those outcomes aren’t even particularly good ones. There is that famous calculation that Trump would’ve made far more money had he simply put his inherited wealth into an index fund. And we’ve seen just how much he sucks at negotiating with his failed Iran and Gaza deals.

In office, his version of lawyerly threats when dealing with foreign countries is tariffs. The Supreme Court may have severely limited his ability to wield them indiscriminately as a way to bully other nations, but that doesn’t mean he’s stopped trying. His latest target is Canada, after yet another failed round of negotiations.

Cartoon by Tim CampbellTim Campbell/Tribune Content Agency

Canada has already retaliated, and its tariffs may have far more political bite than Trump’s.

Trump has already imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. But his biggest new threat—a 50% tariff on Canadian vehicles, auto parts, and steel—isn’t supposed to hit until Jan. 1, 2027. And given his long history of backtracking on tariff decisions, there is little reason for Canada to assume those tariffs will ever be enacted as advertised. Heck, there’s a decent chance the courts get involved before they see the light of day.

But there’s an obvious political benefit to waiting until Jan. 1: the November midterm elections.

We know that Trump has finally figured out that tariffs increase prices, given his decision to import foreign beef while removing tariffs in order to try to give voters an affordability win before the elections. The last thing his party needs is further price increases on top of current inflation trends.

EXCERPT:

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has once again proved just how much the left hates you — the American people.

Hochul announced that a new state law that bars police from cooperating with ICE agents has gone into effect. She did this because, according to the left, no human is illegal. Well, unless, of course, you are a law enforcement officer working with federal agents to uphold national security. That, in fact, would be illegal, according to Hochul.

Per CBS:

It bans local government agencies from maintaining agreements with ICE for civil enforcement. It also prohibits ICE agents from using local detention centers for civil enforcement, including mass raids.

“Local police will assist ICE only if a real crime has been committed,” Hochul said. “But on civil immigration matters, ICE is on their own.”

The problem with this claim is that breaking federal immigration laws is a crime. Can someone please clear that up for the Governor?

She said the law will help protect immigrants from aggressive enforcement while they pursue asylum claims.

What a bunch of nonsense. This is nothing more than an effort to vilify federal agents, while turning a blind eye to criminal aliens who have disregarded this country’s laws from the very start.

Back in July, state officials sent letters to 12 local law enforcement agencies that have agreements with ICE. The letters stated that they must unwind the agreements by Aug. 25.
