Clinton Judge Bans Ten Commandments From Red State Classrooms– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Blurb:

A federal judge smacked down a Texas law that ordered every public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments, ruling the mandate unconstitutional and handing a win to the groups that sued to block it.

U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia said Senate Bill 10 trampled the Establishment Clause, which bars the government from endorsing religion. His order forces the districts named in the lawsuit to strip the displays by Dec. 1.

Plaintiff Lenee Bien-Willner, a Jewish parent, said she was “relieved” by the decision. “I am relieved that as a result of today’s ruling, my children, who are among a small number of Jewish children at their schools, will no longer be continually subjected to religious displays,” she said. “The government has no business interfering with parental decisions about matters of faith.”

The ruling covers the Comal, Georgetown, Conroe, Flour Bluff, Fort Worth, Arlington, McKinney, Frisco, Northwest, Azle, Rockwall, Lovejoy, Mansfield and McAllen districts. But the ACLU, the ACLU of Texas, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the Freedom From Religion Foundation are urging all schools to ignore the state’s order.

House Republicans tried and failed last night to censure Rep. Stacey Plaskett of the Virgin Islands. The move came in the wake of revelations about Plaskett texting with Jeffrey Epstein during a hearing.

House Freedom Caucus bid to censure Democrat over Epstein links goes down in flames

A House Freedom Caucus-led bid to strip a member of the House Democratic Caucus of her role on a high-profile committee after her ties to Jeffrey Epstein were revealed earlier this month failed on Tuesday night.

Lawmakers voted against censuring Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-V.I., the Virgin Islands’ nonvoting delegate in the House of Representatives, over newly surfaced text messages between her and Epstein that were exchanged during the February 2019 congressional testimony of Michael Cohen.

Much is made every election year about the abortion issue.

The debate usually devolves into a black and white confrontation over whether you support abortion rights or if you are opposed.

The complexity of the NJ abortion debate

The Left has done a better job marketing and messaging as “Pro-Choice” simply sounds American. It’s no surprise given the strong left leaning of most news outlets.

I have said for years that there are actually three sides to the debate: Those of us who are pro-Life, counting babies as a blessing and wanting to protect the unborn, those who simply don’t want the government involved, who could actually be referred to as ‘pro-choice’ and then there are those who are absolutely pro-abortion.

HHS Report Shows Why Transgender Activists Silence Debate– www.dailysignal.com

Blurb:

Advocates of transgender medical interventions euphemistically referred to as “gender-affirming care” often seek to silence critics, rather than engaging in a debate on the science—and one of the authors of the Department of Health and Human Services’ report on the issue says he thinks he knows why.

HHS published a review of the evidence regarding medical transition for minors in May, finding “extremely weak evidence” for any benefits from “gender-affirming care.” HHS sought peer review, submitting its report to medical professionals and pro-transgender health associations. Yet two of the three pro-transgender groups HHS approached refused to engage, and the remaining organization appeared not to have read the full report.

The back-and-forth appears in a supplement to the final review, published Tuesday.

Abortion Activists Exploit Pregnant Woman’s Tragic Death to Lie About Abortion Bans– www.lifenews.com

They’re at it again.

Radical abortion activists are exploiting the tragic death of a pregnant woman to try to target and overturn abortion bans that protect women and their babies.

The leftist publication ProPublica, which has been exposed multiple times for misleading readers about abortions and the terrible deaths of pregnant women, published another article about the death of a pregnant women in an attempt to falsely blame the Texas abortion ban.

Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old dental assistant from San Antonio, Texas, died on December 28, 2024, at around 20 weeks pregnant. She was a mother of three with a history of high-risk pregnancies, including a previous stillbirth due to severe preeclampsia. Her death was ultimately caused by preeclampsia, a dangerous pregnancy-related condition involving extremely high blood pressure that led to heart failure, kidney damage, and fluid buildup in her organs. An autopsy confirmed hypertensive cardiovascular disease as the direct mechanism: her heart became enlarged and overwhelmed, causing multi-organ shutdown.

Berkeley Teacher Plots ‘War’ On Conservative Students: ‘By All Means Necessary’– trendingpoliticsnews.com

A Berkeley public school teacher who’s become a star on the far-left protest circuit led a weekend “tribunal” plotting fresh action to shut down Turning Point USA chapters on campuses and even inside public schools, including her own.

Yvette Felarca, long tied to the militant group By Any Means Necessary, ran the 90-minute Sunday meeting with about 40 members of the socialist outfit. Fox News Digital learned she closed the session by calling for a vote on the next phase of the group’s campaign. The plan: “stop” Turning Point USA at colleges and in K–12 schools, beginning with Berkeley High School, where she teaches. The vote was unanimous.

The group cheered the effort as a push to “stop fascist recruiting in schools,” a phrase BAMN has used as it collects tax-deductible donations through the Detroit-based Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration and Immigrant Rights and Fight for Equality.

“Solidarity!” Felarca said at the end.

Republicans are firing back after a group of six Democrat lawmakers created a video telling U.S. military members and the intelligence community they do not need to follow “illegal orders.”

“Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home,” the Democrats say in the video message. “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. … You must refuse illegal orders.”

Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin shared the video, which appears to be in reference to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations, on X Tuesday, telling the military and intelligence community, the “American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.”

Democrats Will Rig The Midterms If Red States Let Them After Texas Ruling– thefederalist.com

Blurb:

A panel of three unelected judges issued an injunction Tuesday blocking Texas from using its newly drawn congressional map. If Texas loses the appeals process, the injunction could stand, which means the five seats Texas thought it was gaining will not materialize. But five seats that could materialize will be in California. Which means that Republicans in red states must step up or risk losing the House to Democrats permanently.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey V. Brown ruled alongside Judge Davi Guaderrama in a 2-1 decision that the new map appears to be a race-based gerrymander, which is illegal.

“The public perception of this case is that it’s about politics,” the majority opinion reads. “To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 map.”

Trump Admin Divided Over How to Best Reform H-1B Program– www.dailysignal.com

The Trump administration is divided between factions about the best way to reform the controversial H-1B visa program, a senior administration official told The Daily Signal.

One faction wants to restrict the program so much that foreigners won’t be able to use it, while others think it’s useful to bring in exceptional talent, the official said.

While President Donald Trump maintains abuses of the system need to be reformed, he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham he believes the program—which allows highly skilled workers in “specialty occupations” to live and work in the U.S.—is needed to bring certain talent in. This comment sparked outrage from many of his supporters.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she’s “solidly against” Americans “being replaced by foreign labor, like with H-1Bs.” “End H-1B so it’s not used for cheap labor & expand genius visas for genuine high end talent,” conservative influencer Robby Starbuck wrote. Former Department of Government Efficiency adviser and Florida governor hopeful James Fishback said he would “fire every single H-1B working at our state agencies.”

‘Faction’ of GOP will return to Epstein drama in the future: Tiana Lowe Doescher– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Blurb:

Washington Examiner columnist Tiana Lowe Doescher said some Republicans will try to “reignite” the topic of the Epstein files in the future, even after President Donald Trump is expected to sign legislation related to it.

The House voted almost unanimously on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would force the Justice Department to release all files on the convicted sex offender, on Tuesday, two days after Trump urged House Republicans to back the measure. The Senate also agreed on Tuesday to fast-track the bill to Trump’s desk.

Doescher said on Tuesday that this will bring an end to Congress’s focus on Epstein and his connections with Trump. However, she added that “a faction” of Republican lawmakers does not share this mentality, as they are “mad” that the president “dictates MAGA.”

Former Clinton-era Treasury Secretary Larry Summers resigned from the OpenAI board on Wednesday after emails showed his association with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Summers’ resignation followed his decision to back away from public commitments in response to House Democrats releasing over 20,000 emails from Epstein’s estate, some of which indicated that Summers regularly communicated with the sex offender from 2013 to 2019. His most recent correspondence was from the day before Epstein’s arrest in 2019, according to NBC News.

“In line with my announcement to step away from my public commitments, I have also decided to resign from the board of OpenAI,” Summers said in a statement. “I am grateful for the opportunity to have served, excited about the potential of the company, and look forward to following their progress.”

The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago has filed a federal lawsuit against the city’s Board of Education, accusing the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) of religious discrimination. The district allegedly barred its students from participating in a student-teaching program because of the college’s faith-based hiring policies.

The suit, filed on November 4 by Alliance Defending Freedom, claims that CPS excluded Moody students from its Pre-Service Teaching Program when the college refused to sign agreements requiring compliance with the district’s nondiscrimination provisions. Those provisions prohibit employment discrimination based on religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

“As a condition of participation, Chicago Public Schools insists that Moody sign agreements with employment nondiscrimination provisions that forbid Moody from employing only those who share and live out its faith,”

Democrat operative Dana Williamson, after years of leading a luxury lifestyle, now faces numerous charges of fraud and false statements related to her alleged role in stealing campaign funds and mischaracterizing more than $1 million in self-indulgent spending as business expenses.

Williamson, California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s former chief of staff, was released on $500,000 bond after pleading not guilty Wednesday to 23 charges related to her political work. She is charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to interfere with government function and obstruct justice, and false statements related to alleged crimes committed between February 2022 and September 2024, according to the indictment.

Williamson exited the governor’s office in December 2024. She owns a public affairs, lobbying, and political consulting business and is well known in California political circles. Williamson, who became Newsom’s chief of staff in 2022, was “hailed by her allies as the governor’s ‘political assassin,’” according to Politico, and Newsom praised “her insight, tenacity, and big heart” when she left the position.

Republican Rep. Tim Burchett (TN-18) offered up a softball pitch to Democrats suddenly clamoring for public transparency regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files. They whiffed worse than the Mighty Casey.

Why? Because it’s all a political ploy meant to take down their nemesis, President Donald Trump.

As RedState Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar reported Wednesday, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee genuinely thought they finally had Trump cornered when it came to the Epstein files. They released a trove of 20,000 documents from the late sex-trafficker’s estate, then honed in on three particular out-of-context emails which, in their minds, showed something nefarious.

Instead, it blew up spectacularly when it was discovered that the emails had redacted any mention of the “victim” in the case, who happened to be Virginia Giuffre. That move was intentional. Giuffre had stated under oath that Trump never acted inappropriately with her and that she never saw him with Epstein.

Trump’s ‘Complete’ Pardons Cover Bogus State Election Charges– thefederalist.com

Blurb:

Fake news was working overtime on Monday by declaring, without authority, that the “full, complete” presidential pardons related to the 2020 presidential election cannot protect against bogus state charges arising from that election. Corporate media wrongly insisted that the pardon clause in the U.S. Constitution applies only to charges brought by federal prosecutors.

Not so. The pardon clause states that the president “shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” Every attempt in court to narrow the scope of the pardon clause has failed.

Our system of dual sovereigns, federal and state, is subject to the supremacy clause, which means that state sovereignty cannot limit the scope of the pardon clause. It was modeled on the vast, nearly unlimited pardon power of the King of England.

University of Michigan Faculty Senate Wants More Trans Surgeries, ‘Treatments’ for Youth – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

pgnewser November 19, 2025 0

Blurb:

The University of Michigan Faculty Senate is aggressively urging the school to ignore federal rules — and science — to continue castrating minors in the name of transgender ideology.

The motion claims that so-called gender-affirming care is “medically necessary,” which is preposterous, since it is impossible to change one’s biological sex. Thus attempting to do so cannot be necessary; indeed, it can only be harmful. It is disturbing that the faculty senate is so blinded by ideology that they are determined to mutilate children at all costs and against all evidence.

The UMich faculty senate asserted in a motion that its obligation “to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future” necessitates transgender mutilation for minors. Sounds as if another university needs to lose federal funding.

I know next to nothing about South Australia other than it is the fourth largest state in Australia by area and is located in the southern central part of the country. That and the establishment newspapers have no use for pro-lifers or for even the slightest rollback of their ultra-liberal abortion laws.

In 2023,  abortion was “decriminalized” nationwide in Australia.

The headline to Barbara Baird and Prudence Flower’s story is typical: “South Australia is now the battleground for the forced-birth movement.” The subhead is “Conservative forces both inside and outside of state parliament want to make abortion a key issue in 2026.”

So what was the proposal just voted down by the Legislative Council (upper house) 11-8? “To limit terminations after 23 weeks.” This modest proposal was described by Anna Stewart as “controversial”.
