PhD Student has her Research SUSPENDED because of her science-based belief that transitioning children is bad for them– www.louderwithcrowder.com News Source EXCERPT:
One of the most evil parts about trans ideology is that it targets the most vulnerable people of society, causing irreversible harm to children who were too young to understand the consequences of their actions. This will go down as the worst medical scandal in human history. And those who punished the ones speaking out against these deranged procedures will forever be “on the wrong side of history.”
Celina Lazzari, however, is on the “right side of history.”
Lazzari had her PhD research suspended after she opposed trans medical experiments on children.
A women’s rights advocate and PhD researcher in Brazil was subject to an investigation over her social media posts after trans activists at her University reported her for advocating against the medical transitioning of children. Celina Lazzari had her research suspended by the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Florianópolis for her social media posts despite having an outstanding academic track record…
China Hits U.S., Europe With New Rare Earths Export Controls– legalinsurrection.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Early this year, the Trump administration unveiled a new minerals stockpile initiative called “Project Vault,” which prioritizes the development of mines and processing operations for more than 50 minerals deemed critical.
These developments are likely not making Chinese officials happy. Subsequently, it should not come as a surprise that China has now imposed new export controls on rare earths bound for this country.
China added MP Materials (MP.N) and USA Rare Earth (USAR.O) as well as eight other U.S. entities it said are linked to the U.S. military to its export control list in retaliation for Washington placing several Chinese companies under restrictions this month.
Aveox, a motor manufacturer for mission-critical applications, was also among those placed on the list, which halts Chinese dual-use exports to the companies.
Pentagon-backed MP Materials, which operates the only active rare earth mine in the U.S., and USA Rare Earth are both involved in the mine-to-magnet supply chain.
USA Rare Earth said it did not have any comment on the matter. MP Materials and Aveox were not available for comment outside of business hours.
At this point, U.S. AI policy toward China has become a motivational speaker with sanctions.
JUST IN: Two GOP Senators Block Confirmation Of Trump AG Nominee Todd Blanche– trendingpoliticsnews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The Senate Judiciary Committee has postponed its scheduled Thursday vote on the nomination of Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general after Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and John Cornyn (R-TX) indicated that they would vote against advancing the nomination out of committee.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced the decision late Wednesday night after a wild day of back-and-forth between the committee and the two dissenting senators.
“Chairman Grassley works to set President Trump’s nominees up for success in committee, not failure. Senators Cornyn and Tillis want written assurances from the Department of Justice regarding the Trump-IRS settlement. Tomorrow’s markup is postponed as work continues to secure sufficient support in committee to favorably report Attorney General-nominee Todd Blanche, who is highly qualified for the job,” a spokesman for Grassley’s office said in a statement.
Both Tillis and Cornyn have for weeks raised concerns related to a settlement agreement between the Department of Justice and Trump stemming from a lawsuit Trump filed against the Internal Revenue Service.
As part of the settlement, the Justice Department established a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund intended to compensate individuals who were subje
Army tests ‘Hammer of the Gods’ system overseas for first time– www.foxnews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The U.S. Army on Sunday revealed it has tested a new warfare system overseas designed to covertly scramble the navigation signals used by enemy precision weapons, making it harder for adversaries to accurately strike targets from long distances while avoiding detection.
The electronic system, dubbed “Hammer of the Gods,” was tested at sea off the U.S. West Coast for the first time in mid-July as part of the Project Convergence Capstone 6 (PC-C6) experiment.
While land-based versions have been demonstrated over the past two years, the exercise marked the official debut of the maritime variant, the Army said.
The portable signal disruptor can reportedly blind enemy to several precision-guided weapons such as long-range artillery, guided missiles and cruise missiles.
The Hammer of the Gods was tested overseas for the first time in mid-July. (U.S. Army)
The radio signals specifically jam positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) signals, including GPS data, that precision weapons rely on to navigate accurately.
Without reliable PNT data, weapon accuracy drops sharply, increasing the likelihood of delayed missions and missed targets.
The system also creates a resilient communications network that allows friendly forces to stay connected despite heavy electronic jamming.
BREAKING: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson asks embattled Police Chief Shon Barnes to resign | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The news follows massive criticism of the city’s response to the Bite of Seattle mass shooting.
Multiple sources told The Post Millennial Wednesday evening that Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has asked Police Chief Shon Barnes to resign, ending his tenure just days after the deadly Bite of Seattle mass shooting intensified scrutiny of his leadership, his frequent travel, and his absence from the city during the tragedy.
Barnes was spotted leaving a vigil for the victims of the shooting in Seattle Center by Post Millennial staff before the event began and went to City Hall, where he was asked to resign
Fox 13 reported that Barnes began texting people Wednesday night about his dismissal. Wilson’s office has not replied to requests for comment.
The move comes after a tumultuous week for Barnes, who faced mounting criticism over both the police response to the shooting and his own whereabouts when it unfolded.
Three people were killed, and several others were wounded Sunday evening after gang members opened fire during the closing hours of the Bite of Seattle festival. Barnes was in Dallas attending a National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives conference when the shooting occurred.
Catherine Herridge has been covering the efforts by progressives in the Trump administration who appear to have committed acts of treason by knowingly omitting and altering intelligence reports on China to protect China from Trump’s scrutiny.
Herridge claimed, “They had to save President Trump from his own instincts, from his own tendencies, and that there was very much a globalist view. And they had to preserve a globalist view. So, whether it was downplaying or suppressing intelligence about the threat from China, whether it was giving a pass and calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation, there was this level of a bureaucracy, a kind of conspiracy that was making decisions about the kind of information that should be reaching policy makers and ultimately the commander-in-chief.”
Catherine Herridge Exposes The Forces Working Against Trump From Within Intel Agencies– trendingpoliticsnews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Veteran investigative reporter Catherine Herridge reported during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Katie Pavlich Tonight,” that a senior member of former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s Director’s Initiatives Group, known as the DIG, described a pattern in which intelligence community officials acted on the belief that they needed to protect a globalist perspective by limiting certain information provided to policymakers, including President Donald Trump.
Herridge’s comments came amid discussion of recently declassified federal documents related to intelligence assessments from 2020 concerning China’s election influence operations. Those records, which were released in connection with a primetime address by President Trump the prior week, included internal communications indicating that some intelligence reports had been edited to remove references linking China’s activities to the 2020 U.S. election.
One November 20, 2020, email from a Strategic Intelligence Analyst in China and North Korea Strategic Assessments stated that officials had “deliberately massaged our one pending PDB (President’s Daily Brief) to avoid any direct links to the election.”
Herridge noted that she had reviewed the materials and found consistency with earlier whistleblower allegations that intelligence about China’s multi-domain influence efforts—aimed at impeding then-President Trump’s re-election and denigrating him as a candidate—had been suppressed or altered. In the same interview, Herridge connected these developments to broader observations shared by a source within Gabbard’s investigative team.
In a 2-1 ruling the U.S. Court of Appeals of the First Circuit ruled Christian private schools that take any funds from the state of Maine can legally be required to openly accept and celebrate homonormativity even though it directly contradicts God’s Word.
The court wrote, “Just as combatting religious discrimination qualifies as a legitimate governmental pursuit, so too combatting sexual-orientation and gender-identity discrimination rises to that level.”
The ruling effectively forces Christian schools to withdraw all business with the state. If upheld by SCOTUS, it would create a hierarchy of value of rights that favored sexuality and gender fluidity over religious belief. This would end religious freedom in America, as it has ended, for now, in Maine.
Religious schools that get public funds must follow Maine’s antidiscrimination laws, court rules – Texarkana Gazette News Source
EXCERPT:
Private religious schools that receive public funds must follow state laws that prohibit discrimination based on gender identity, sexual orientation or religion, a federal court ruled last week.
The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston came after two schools — Saint Dominic Academy in Auburn and Bangor Christian Schools, run by Crosspoint Church — asked for exemptions from the Maine Human Rights Act so they wouldn’t be required to enforce policies that contradicted their religious beliefs, such as admitting students who were openly gay or transgender, for instance, or requiring teachers to use students’ preferred pronouns.
The appeals court largely upheld a lower court’s decision denying this exemption, but it differed in its opinion of the state’s rules around religious expression and asked that the lower court reconsider how that provision applies to religious schools.
A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuit ruled 2-1 that a Christian teacher in a public school cannot show students any material that contradicts the school’s supremacist LGBTQ plus ideology. This ideology compels forced acceptance of belief, including gender fluidity and transitioning children, which is an existential challenge to American Rule of Law, where no entity, government or private, can compel belief or speech.
The dissenting Judge, Lawrence VanDyke, wrote, “Could public school administrators establish a policy allowing office decoration with partisan political messages deemed sufficiently ‘compassionate’ but prohibit—as inherently ‘hostile’—any political speech that did not align with the Democratic Socialists of America platform?…
If your instinctual answer to each of these questions is ‘No!’… you might be an everyday American. But according to the majority today, you vastly overestimate the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech in our nation’s schools. In a decision that is irreconcilable with Supreme Court precedent, the majority announces an expansive new rule that all expression by public-school employees that might be observed by students is necessarily government speech, and not the personal speech of an American citizen—even when any reasonable observer would perceive the speech as the employee’s own personal expression.”
Ninth Circuit Upholds Ban on Christian Employee’s Books– www.standingforfreedom.com News Source
EXCERPT:
In completely ignoring the Supreme Court’s landmark free speech ruling in Kennedy v. Bremerton, the federal appellate court insists that staff who express beliefs that don’t align with a school’s established orthodoxy can be fired.
[UPDATE] On Tuesday, a panel of judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Oregon social worker Rod Theis has no free speech right to display books in his public school office that disagree with radical gender ideology — and that his firing was justified.
Theis, a devout Christian, used to work as an education specialist for InterMountain Education Service District, which required him to travel to different district schools to administer standardized tests to students. He was not a teacher and rarely had contact with most students but did have office space in two of the districts’ schools.
Many InterMountain district staff, including teachers, are allowed to decorate their classrooms and offices with various posters, flags, and books that promote Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ messages, pride flags, political candidates, views on political and social topics, and more. While still employed there, Theis followed their lead by displaying three children’s books — Johnny the Walrus, He is He, and She is She — in his offices. The three books teach the biblical view that sex is unchanging and that children should accept themselves as the sex they were born.
Though no student or parent ever complained about the books, one teacher in 2024 researched the books online, determined that they promote a “binary view of gender,” and filed a complaint, claiming that the three books are “transphobic” and therefore offensive. In response, InterMountain officials ordered Theis to remove the books. He filed a lawsuit and received an injunction from a district court that allowed him to display the books when students were not present. Soon thereafter, the same hostile teacher sent several students to Theis’s office, asking to see the books, to which he eventually agreed; the staff member caught Theis on video showing the books to the students, and the school district fired him.
ICC Prosecutor Whose Netanyahu Warrant Fueled Mamdani Arrest Threat is Fired Over Sexual Abuse– gellerreport.com News Source
EXCERPT:
A female ICC legal assistant has accused the disgusting ICC prosecutor Karim Khan of sexual misconduct. Khan issued an arrest warrant against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, so that he could divert attention from these sexual misconduct allegations. This is the latest example of why the ICC is an illegitimate and corrupt court that should be dismantled.
The scumbag mayor of NYC (and many other lowlife political leaders) vowed to arrest the Israeli PM based on the arrest warrant issued by Khan.
I welcome the decision, supported by an overwhelming majority of countries, to remove Karim Khan, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
This decision exposes the truth.
Karim Khan was accused of sexually harassing women who worked under him.

EXCERPT:
In a rebuke to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a federal district court has struck down Illinois laws providing in-state tuition benefits to illegal aliens—a setback to the sanctuary-state governor’s broader immigration agenda.
The ruling also marks the latest win in the Trump administration’s campaign to end taxpayer-funded tuition benefits for illegal aliens, a fight Legal Insurrection has covered from the beginning.
Illinois’ laws allowed illegal aliens to qualify for reduced in-state tuition rates and for other benefits, including scholarships. Meanwhile, American citizens from other states were not offered these same reduced tuition rates or benefits.

Trump revives old tropes as he pushes warnings of ‘communist menace’ | Donald Trump– www.theguardian.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Perhaps above all else, Donald Trump is a child of the cold war.
Three months before the US president was born, Winston Churchill delivered a historic speech in Fulton, Missouri, that ushered in a generations-long existential struggle between western capitalism and Soviet communism.
Lamenting the spread of Soviet communism across eastern Europe following the allied victory in the second world war, Churchill – by then no longer British prime minister – warned his audience on 5 March 1946 that “an iron curtain has descended across the continent”.
It was the prelude to a nuclear-armed standoff between Washington and Moscow that triggered a hysteria-driven “red scare” in the US – leading to the execution of convicted spies and exemplified by witch-hunts instigated by the Republican senator Joe McCarthy, who claimed he had obtained lists of communist agents working in the state department and other key areas of American life.
The hunt for communists would have been a ubiquitous theme of Trump’s early childhood.
Trump’s ‘anti-weaponization’ fund has become a roadblock for his attorney general nominee– www.washingtontimes.com News Source
EXCERPT:
President Trump’s “anti-weaponization” fund has become the chief stumbling block to Todd Blanche’s confirmation as attorney general, with key Republicans saying they cannot let him be approved until the $1.776 billion idea is fully eradicated.
Mr. Blanche has told lawmakers that the fund is dead and he will not release any of the money.
Still, senators said the language of the deal, which Mr. Blanche signed off on as acting attorney general, could leave wiggle room for Mr. Trump to ask a court to enforce it.
One of those Republicans, Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, said he would hold up any action until either Mr. Blanche renegotiates the settlement to make clear that the fund is expunged or Congress passes legislation to firmly nullify the fund.
“We need to have a fork stuck in the 1776 fund,” Mr. Tillis told reporters. “I want a renegotiated agreement that ends this forever. That is final.”
The senator said the Justice Department is negotiating on the matter.
Trump Dismisses Claims U.S. Is Short on Munitions in Iran Fight– www.breitbart.com News Source
EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump dismissed reports that the United States is running short on munitions for the conflict with Iran, telling the Wall Street Journal on Sunday that the U.S. military has “far more munitions than anyone in the world, and far more than we need” as his administration continued weighing diplomacy alongside the possibility of renewed military escalation.
Trump’s comments pushed back against reports from the New York Times and other outlets that concerns over declining stocks of Patriot and other air defense interceptors factored into internal deliberations over whether to expand the U.S. military campaign against Iran, even as the administration has emphasized that diplomatic efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remain underway.
Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press and Fox News Sunday, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz reinforced Trump’s message, declaring that “the U.S. military, and I’ve verified this every which way, has everything that it needs to conduct this campaign as effectively as it needs to be,” while insisting Trump is “keeping all options on the table” as he gives negotiations “some space” to continue.
“I have to tell you, the people that are leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail,” Waltz said on Meet the Press, while acknowledging that years of military support for Ukraine and operations against the Houthis had strained some inventories before President Donald Trump took office. Waltz argued the administration is rebuilding stockpiles while shifting toward newer, less expensive munitions and other emerging technologies.
Speaking on Fox News, Waltz said the administration’s military campaign had focused on degrading Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping and regional stability, arguing that “the Iranian regime is isolated, economically devastated, militarily devastated,” and adding that Tehran was beginning to struggle financially, including paying government workers and members of its military.
The administration’s public defense of its military readiness follows reports that Trump postponed a planned expansion of the U.S. air campaign after meeting Friday with senior advisers, amid a broader debate over the costs and risks of escalating the conflict while diplomatic efforts continued.
According to the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, U.S. military planners had prepared an expanded campaign that could have lasted up to two weeks before Trump opted to allow diplomacy additional time. The newspaper reported that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine informed senior officials about declining inventories of Patriot and other air defense interceptors, while assessing that lower stockpiles would increase operational risk but would not prevent renewed military operations if Trump ordered them.

EXCERPT:
Russian forces have killed at least six people in Ukraine, according to officials, after launching ballistic missile attacks on the capital, Kyiv, and strikes on other regions, including a supermarket in the northern city of Chernihiv.
The attacks on Sunday came as Russian officials said that Moscow-occupied areas of Ukraine had also come under fire, with four people killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on the occupied city of Horlivka.
Ukraine’s air force said Russia had launched seven ballistic missiles and 136 drones at Ukraine overnight. Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv cities were all hit.
In northern Chernihiv, officials said a Russian drone hit a supermarket, killing two people, including a nine-year-old girl, and wounding 25 others.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as a “deeply cynical drone strike on an ordinary supermarket”.
In the eastern city of Kharkiv, one person was killed and 16 others required medical attention after a daytime drone attack, the local mayor said.
“This is deliberate Russian terror with absolutely no military justification,” Zelenskyy said.

Christian school chaplain wins settlement after firing over LGBTQ sermon – Fox News News Source
EXCERPT:
A school chaplain in the United Kingdom who was fired and blacklisted after preaching a sermon on LGBTQ issues has reached a confidential settlement with his former employer, ending a seven-year legal battle.
The Rev. Bernard Randall, an ordained Church of England minister, worked for five years as chaplain at Trent College, an independent school for K-12 students in Derbyshire, England. In 2018, Randall grew concerned when the school partnered with Educate and Celebrate, an outside group whose stated goal was to “smash heteronormativity” and embed queer theory in school culture. The group has since dissolved.
“I objected to [it] at the time it started, and tried to discuss it with the senior leadership, [but] they weren’t interested,” Randall told Fox News Digital.
The following year, a student asked Randall why pupils were required to accept LGBTQ ideology at a Christian school. Randall said that question, along with similar concerns raised by other students and staff, prompted him to deliver a sermon on freedom of belief and conscience.
Israeli settlers set fire to West Bank mosques after deadly clash– www.channelnewsasia.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The Palestinian Authority, which has responsibility for the section of the West Bank where Friday’s shootings took place, said the incident was part of a broader assault on Palestinians.
“Israeli state-backed settler terrorism is intensifying into systematic pogroms across the occupied West Bank,” the Palestinian prime minister’s office said in a statement on X.
The Israeli military said troops sent to Qusra, which sits near several large Israeli settlements, had found graffiti and signs of arson and were searching for suspects. Police officers would be sent to collect evidence, it said.
“The security forces strongly condemn incidents of this kind, including harm to religious sites, and will continue to act decisively to maintain security and public order in the area,” the military said.
An Israeli military official said such violence by Israelis diverted the defence force’s attention from its primary mission of defence and counter-terrorism in a complex environment. The official said, however, that over the weekend troops arrested more than 130 individuals, including weapons traffickers, Hamas operatives, individuals involved in incitement and people planning imminent attacks.
In separate incidents, Palestinian officials said settlers had also tried to burn a mosque near Kour, southeast of Tulkarm, and attacked Palestinian workers at a stone-cutting facility in the town of Kafr Malik, near Ramallah.
Farid Jiyousi, a member of the Kour village council, said three settlers had tried to set the mosque ablaze at dawn but worshippers had put out the fire before it reached the mosque’s main area. “This is the first attack our village has experienced,” he said, adding that the attackers had also sprayed Hebrew graffiti on the mosque walls.
Chicago To Lose Seven Grocery Stores After Food Stamps Cuts– www.louderwithcrowder.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Chicago is expected to lose at least seven grocery stores. This news comes after the city spent nearly $14 million to keep them there.
This was also announced just one day after the mayor claimed he grew the city economically more than any other mayor before him. Something is not adding up here.
City officials are looking for ways to save them, but the deadline is just days away and it looks like those seven stores will close Saturday.
Let’s hope they keep this solution under $14 million.
The Save A Lot company said in a statement that dramatic cuts to SNAP benefits severely impacted these stores. The franchise owner, Yellow Banana, had other financial troubles and then suddenly, the CEO of the company died of a stroke.
A spokesperson for the company said the following:
“Unfortunately, these stores have continued to face significant challenges, including dramatic cuts to SNAP benefits which have severely impacted these stores. Compared to last year, the stores have experienced a 26% decline in SNAP/EBT tender types,” the spokesperson said.
