Trump Admin Drops Hammer On Blue States It Says Force Abortion Insurance Coverage– dailycaller.com

The Trump administration is probing thirteen states that allegedly force insurance providers to cover abortion.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Civil Rights (OCR) sent letters Wednesday notifying states with abortion coverage mandates of the investigation and requesting information about how their policies are being implemented, according to an HHS official.

“We are concerned about this because it means that thousands of people and employers, including religious employers, churches, but also employers who may be private citizens, but who object to abortion and would prefer that their health plans not cover it, are also coerced into purchasing a plan that covers abortion are not free in the marketplace to purchase abortion-free coverage,” the official said.

House Republicans seek to use water pollution rules to restrict abortion pill– www.washingtonexaminer.com

A group of House Republicans aims to use environmental restrictions to curb the use of the abortion pill mifepristone, which anti-abortion advocates say contaminates the water supply with human remains from at-home abortions.

Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) introduced a new bill Wednesday with nine GOP cosponsors that would do away with telehealth access to abortion medications and require in-person screening before a doctor could dispense the pills.

The bill would also require patients undergoing a medication abortion at home to use a catch-kit to collect the fetal remains and other pregnancy tissue, including the placenta and blood clots, to be disposed of as medical waste by the prescribing medical team.

Miller’s bill, the “Clean Water for All Life Act,” is being championed by the anti-abortion advocacy group Students for Life of America, which has advanced the argument that the proliferation of medication abortion in recent years has tainted the drinking water supply with human fetal remains and endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Use ‘queer joy’ to resist ‘white Christian nationalism’: University of Kansas professor– www.thecollegefix.com

OPINION 

Homosexuals and gender-confused individuals should embrace “queer joy” as a way to withstand attacks from “white Christian nationalists,” according to a University of Kansas law professor.

“I contend that queer joy as resistance is just one strategy for resistance, one that ought to be pursued alongside other tactics of resistance,” Professor Kyle Velte argues in a paper published on SSRN.

Velte lists a number of supposed infringements on the “rights” of LGBT people.

Among these are Supreme Court rulings that found artists, such as bakers and website designers, cannot be forced by the state to use their skills to promote so-called same-sex “marriage.” The law professor also criticized the 2021 case Fulton v. City of Philadelphia which affirmed social service providers cannot be forced to place kids in same-sex households.

“The impact of these decision[s] means that some vendors and faith-based social service agencies may refuse to serve LGBTQ people,” Velte wrote.

Mamdani Hears About It After Disgustingly Making St. Patrick’s Day About Israel-Hamas War – RedState– redstate.com

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is one of the most singularly focused Democrat politicians I’ve seen in a long time. He often will turn anything, any unrelated news event, any public appearance, into a discussion about the so-called “Palestinian cause,” and how Israel and, via extension, America, is allegedly committing “genocide” against the Hamas (and Hezbollah) terrorists who literally want to wipe the Jewish people and their western allies off the map.

We saw this, for instance, the weekend of March 7th and 8th, when Mamdani’s first words about the attempted terrorist attack by two adult teens – who the DOJ said were inspired by ISIS – on anti-Mamdani demonstrators that weekend at Gracie Mansion, were to condemn… Islamophobia.

“This was a vile protest rooted in white supremacy entitled ‘Stop the Islamic takeover of New York City,” Mamdani proclaimed. “I’m the first Muslim mayor of our city. Anti-Muslim bigotry is nothing new to me, nor is it anything new to the roughly one million New Yorkers who know this city as our home,” he went on to say while merely giving a passing reference to the attack itself, where IEDs were thrown.

Multiculturalism is on the march in California: A Democratic state lawmaker has introduced a bill to recognize two Muslim holidays as official state holidays.

Fox 11 reports that California State Assembly member Matt Haney (D–San Francisco) has introduced AB 2017, which would designate Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays and would, in Haney’s words, ensure that Muslims are “seen, valued and treated with the same dignity as every other community in our state.”

According to the New York Post, Eid al-Adha is among the most important holidays in Islam alongside Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan—the month in which faithful Muslims fast from dawn until sunset.

Iran Missile Strike Hit Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem– gellerreport.com

A near disaster took place in Israel. Iran launched missiles into the Old City of Jerusalem. The missiles were intercepted. However, the debris landed just a few feet away from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. One of the most sacred sites in Christianity, believed to be the place of Jesus’ crucifixion, burial, and resurrection.

Just a reminder, the only reason Christian holy sites in the Old City of Jerusalem remain standing, is because it is part of Israel. If the Palestinians controlled the Old City of Jerusalem’s Christian Quarter, all traces of Christianity would be attacked and destroyed. Exactly what the Palestinians have tragically done to the once flourishing Christian community in Bethlehem.

Judge’s ‘crass’ anti-trans dissent draws attention to moral insanity of Ninth Circuit ruling– www.lifesitenews.com

 Circuit Judge Lawrence Van Dyke attracted the ire of nearly 30 of his colleagues after writing a furious and crude dissent in response to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision not to review the claims of Olympus Spa. The Christian business in Washington state claims that their constitutional rights have been violated by a law requiring them to permit trans-identifying men into their facility.

In 2020, trans-identifying man Haven Wilvich filed a complaint against the spa for denying him service with the Washington Human Rights Commission. Olympus Spa, which is owned by conservative Christians, settled in 2021 with the WHRC by promising to change its policies forbidding trans-identifying men from using their facility, but also stated that the settlement was forced and violated their freedom of association, freedom of speech, and exercise of religion under the First Amendment.

The following year, Olympus brought a constitutional challenge, which was dismissed in 2023 by a federal judge who claimed that because the state’s “anti-discrimination” law applies to all businesses, the law does not specifically violate the rights of the owners of Olympus. In May, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the ruling 2-1. Last week, the full court voted not to review that decision. Enter Judge Lawrence Van Dyke, who decided to make the rare move of using blunt, crude language to illustrate his contempt for the decision.

An appeals court determined that biological men should be permitted to enter an all-female spa for ages 13 and up in Washington state—prompting a federal judge to issue a blunt dissent.

In Olympus Spa v. Armstrong, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that Washington state can enforce an anti-discrimination law to allow a biological man to enter the spa if he identifies as a woman.

The facility in question is a Korean-inspired women’s spa that limits admission to females only, because its services involve full nudity for Korean scrubs, communal bathing, saunas, and massages, according to the Pacific Justice Institute.

The Washington State Human Rights Commission alleged the spa violated the state’s public accommodation law and the Washington Law Against Discrimination.

Suicide pods were created by Philip Nitschke, often nicknamed “Dr. Death,” and were first introduced in 2024 for single-person use. The individual must meet with a psychiatrist for a mental capacity assessment to determine whether he or she is considered “fit” to proceed.

With the push of a button, the chamber fills with nitrogen, causing the person to lose consciousness within seconds, followed shortly by death. What is being marketed as innovation is, in reality, a modernized gas chamber. Now that same concept has been redesigned to end not one life, but two at once.

Blurb:

The left’s ideology is not rooted in universal truth. This is especially true when it comes to transgenderism. In fact, the entire foundation of that ideology is rooted in the lie that gender is somehow malleable.

This also contradicts the gay agenda. This is because, at one point in time, the left pretended people were “born this way.” The problem now, however, is that the premise for transgenderism is that some are born in the wrong body. Subsequently, if you can allegedly change your sex, then being gay and/or lesbian becomes meaningless. Thus, two things cannot be true at the same time. Either it is true that gay people are born gay or that trans people are born trans. These things cannot coexist — and yes, both can be false. Draw your own conclusions.

Austin Settles With Fire Chaplain Fired Over Christian Beliefs– www.standingforfreedom.com

Officials in Austin, Texas, have reached a settlement with a former volunteer chaplain for the Austin Fire Department who sued after he was dismissed from his role following posts on his personal blog that discussed his religious views.

Andrew Fox, an ordained minister who helped launch the department’s chaplaincy program, served as the city’s lead volunteer chaplain for eight years. He filed a lawsuit in 2022 alleging that the city violated his First Amendment rights after officials demanded he apologize for blog posts stating that men and women are biologically different and expressing opposition to men competing in women’s sports.

At the time, he was one of many individuals who were fired, suspended, or otherwise cancelled for discussing their disfavored views on their personal social media platforms. At the time, his case was particularly alarming because, as the Standing for Freedom Center asked at the time, “If chaplains can’t write about or discuss their religious beliefs without fear of retribution, who can?”

Under the settlement, city officials agreed to pay Fox damages and issued a letter thanking him for his service.

“Everyone should be able to speak freely without fear of punishment just for expressing a view with which the government disagrees,” said Hal Frampton, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and director of the ADF Center for Conscience Initiatives, who represented Fox.

Hollywood is a factory of fakery. Social media accounts run by publicists. Apologies written by lawyers. Whole personalities assembled by committee.

In Hollywood, sincerity is often the most convincing special effect of all.

‘My behavior’s dirty, ugly, disgusting, so I gotta eat it.’

Which is why Shia LaBeouf has always felt like an anomaly.

Storm before the calm

LaBeouf is many things: talented, erratic, often self-destructive. His life reads less like a biography than a weather report — storms, brief calm, then another system moving in. He wears his heart on his sleeve, his wounds on his face, and his worst moments out in public.

In an industry built on careful concealment, he seems incapable of it. Most actors learn early to construct a polite distance between who they are and what the world sees. LaBeouf apparently never built that wall.

So when trouble comes — and with him it usually does — everyone gets a front-row seat.

And that’s what makes the story unmistakably Christian. The prodigal son does not return home polished and rehabilitated. He comes back hungry, broken, and not entirely sure how he got there.

In new book, gender studies professor says it’s time to abolish these labels

“Sexual identity” labels should be abolished because they “harm trans people” in their dating and sex lives, a UC Riverside professor argues in a new book.

Brandon Robinson, a professor of sociology, gender, and sexuality studies, wrote the book “Trans Pleasure: On Gender Liberation and Sexual Freedom” based on interviews with men who identify as women (“trans women and trans femmes — trans people who identify with a feminine gender expression”) and their Reddit conversations about dating and sex.

The book documents these individuals’ experiences in “the bedroom,” “restaurants,” “dating apps,” and other typical dating spaces, and the discrimination that they often face, according to Robinson.

“… dominant understandings of sexual identities—which center desires around gender and genitals—harm trans people. They also limit how everyone can love and feel pleasure,” according to the book description.

This enemy has a name: the Red-Green alliance. It is the political covenant between the left and Islam. Its strength is precisely that it is not external. It votes. It holds our passports. It sits in our legislatures and city halls. It shouts down, as in the example of Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, our president’s State of the Union.
