Boston U. teaching hospital glossary says ‘biology’ doesn’t define sex
The primary teaching hospital of Boston University’s medical school recently updated its “Glossary for Culture Transformation” to include dozens of ideologically loaded terms, a medical advocacy group found.
For example, Boston Medical Center’s glossary includes entries for “assigned sex at birth,” “LGBTQIA+,” “fatphobia,” “anti-blackness,”
Republican-controlled Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming are revising social studies curricula for K-12 public schools, promising voters accurate, non-leftist revisions.
Yet Iowa recently delivered new K-12 curricula that entrench rather than solve the nationwide crisis of fact-challenged, anti-American Marxists controlling publicly financed history instruction. Oklahoma is one public comment period away from a similar outcome. That public comment closes Wednesday.
There have been a number of videos posted with loud—and early—calls of submission. Eli Shepherd at RedState: A tweet making the rounds this week shows video of the Islamic call to prayer, the Adhan, echoing through New York City streets at dawn. Five in the morning. Amplified. Projected over neighborhoods that still carry the scars of September 11, 2001. That date is not ancient history. It is living memory…. The Adhan is not ambient background music. It is a declaration. The phrase “Allahu Akbar” means “God is greatest.” It is a theological claim. It is a call to submission. Practicing Muslims understand this. That is not controversial. That is simply fact. Now imagine living in lower Manhattan. Imagine hearing that broadcast before sunrise, rolling through concrete and glass, over a skyline where nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered in an attack carried out in the name of that same phrase. Context matters. Memory matters. And if that memory is ingrained in my mind, being in 6th grade and states away at the time, I can’t imagine where it sits for those in the city (Red State).
This is a mosque in New York.
They blast Islamic calls to prayer five times a day, the earliest one at 5 am.
This is what everyone has to wake up to!
Independent journalists from Muckraker released footage Tuesday showing a New York City Board of Elections employee giving a registration form to someone claiming non-citizen status, noting the office accepts any submission without reporting issues. The worker acknowledged occasional non-citizen attempts but said his role is just to collect and forward forms, which later face database checks. Critics highlighted it as a vulnerability, while studies show non-citizen voting remains rare, fueling partisan divides over stricter proof-of-citizenship laws like the SAVE Act ahead of 2026 midterms.
Reading Matt Shumer’s viral essay about artificial intelligence was like stepping back in time to roughly six years ago, when the world started going insane over Covid-19.
It hits all the same beats as those viral essays from 2020, when we were told “something big was coming” and “life will never be the same.” It is written with the same insider tone, like the author is doing us a favor by telling us how horrible life is about to become. And the intent is clearly the same: to so unsettle a population that they will begin to feel powerless in the face of what is about to come.
JB Prikzker, a prominent Democrat governor viewed as a potential 2028 presidential contender, is facing renewed political attention after his cousin abruptly stepped down from a major corporate leadership role, citing regret over past ties to convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein.
On Monday, Thomas J. Pritzker, 75, announced he would retire immediately as executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels Corporation.
He also confirmed that he would not seek reelection to the company’s board at its 2026 annual meeting.
In a company statement, Pritzker acknowledged that his past contact with Epstein and the pedophile’s child sex trafficking accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell reflected a serious lapse in judgment.
Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner head the U.S. team and are responsible for Russia-Ukraine talks nearby, meaning they may be shuttling quickly between venues.

Over the course of his career, Joseph McMullen has dealt with some of the most powerful agencies in the country: the FBI, Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But in early 2024 the San Diego–based civil rights attorney faced a problem of scale. He had three federal trials in three months—two involving deaths in jail, one involving American children detained at the border—and terabytes of documents. He turned to artificial intelligence to help him get through it all.
McMullen’s path to the courtroom has been unconventional. A former analyst at the consulting firm Bain & Company, he received a law degree at the University of Virginia and trained at the Trial Lawyers College (now called the Gerry Spence Method) in Wyoming in a program that specialized in the emotional craft of storytelling. The emphasis he places on both analytical rigor and narrative instinct has led him, unexpectedly, to artificial intelligence.
A week after a trans-identifying man went on a rampage in Western Canada, killing six children and two adults, another man who masqueraded as a woman allegedly took aim at innocents — this time at a local skating rink in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
Families, students, and supporters flocked to the Dennis M. Lynch Arena on Monday afternoon to watch a boys’ high school hockey game between the Blackstone Valley School and Coventry-Johnson co-op teams.
‘Do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.’
U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) has indicated that she will support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, commonly known as the SAVE Act, after weeks of speculation. While the long-serving GOP moderate indicated that she will vote in favor of the bill, Collins emphasized that she is not in favor of tweaking the legislative filibuster process, which could provide a significant hurdle to the bill’s final passage.
Collins confirmed that she would be supporting the bill in a statement to the Maine Wire on Friday. Her endorsement was critical, as it brought the number of Republicans supporting the measure up to 50, which would allow them to pass it with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance.
THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told CNN on Sunday that Democrats will fight “tooth and nail” against the House-passed SAVE America Act, an election integrity bill he likened to racial segregation.
During an appearance on “State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash,” Schumer stressed his caucus will “not let” the legislation reach President Donald Trump’s desk and suggested Republicans only support it because they do not want poor people and minorities to vote.
The Trump-backed SAVE America Act would mandate voters to present photo ID at
The European Commission is just giving its daily midday press briefing, and it has confirmed plans to adopt the new, 20th, round of sanctions against Russia by 24 February, the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion on Ukraine.
Foreign affairs spokesperson Anouar El Anouni said:
“We keep on working on measures to deprive Russia of the funds, goods and technologies sustaining its war against Ukraine.
This indeed includes the 20th package that you have mentioned, and indeed we aim to adopt it … by 24 February, as the High Representative [Kaja Kallas] mentioned at the last foreign affairs council. Member states are discussing it.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that he met with Democrat senators to discuss plans for ramping up “pressure” on Russia.
Zelensky confirmed that he met with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).
The meeting highlights the continued efforts from Democrats to influence Ukrainian leadership as the war with Russia drags on.
In a video included in a post on X, Blumenthal can be heard greeting Zelensky and expressing interest in further cooperation.
“I want to remember all those images of masked men, the secret police, something familiar in Germany.”
California Gavin Newsom cannot seem to make up his mind about what to call federal law enforcement. He compared federal agents to Nazis during an appearance in Munich on Saturday, but has recently backtracked on similar claims.
Newsom, who recently backtracked on a post from his press office that referred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as “state sponsored terror” agents, has now claimed that federal law enforcement that was sent to California is like the Nazis.
According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, the media covers the Trump administration “fairly and accurately.” If that were true, at least when it comes to her reporting, she would not tell such a blatant lie. This is proven by the fact that the media had zero relevance in the 2024 presidential election.
There are two things easily debunked in the video. First, it’s the claim that, at the very least, she believes she’s fair.
This is what she means when she claims she treats the president “fairly.”
Yeah, that was totally unbiased reporting….
(LifeSiteNews) — A bill working its way through the Utah state legislature would provide Christian students the ability to opt out of certain homework assignments they have a moral objection to.
Republican state Rep. Mike Peterson told The Salt Lake Tribune that he introduced HB204 after his daughter said her professor required her to write a letter to a local politician expressing support for pro-LGBT policies.
“Sometimes a student gets put in a position where it violates their conscience. It goes against their own core beliefs. They’re not comfortable with doing that assignment yet currently have really have no recourse,” Petersen said.
Getting the opportunity to represent one’s country in the Olympics is an incredible honor for any athlete. Sadly, some of this year’s American competitors don’t seem to fully appreciate that point.
Throughout the first week of the 2026 Winter Olympics, several U.S. athletes have happily taken the bait from left-wing “journalists” seeking to get these Americans to trash their nation — and President Trump — on the world stage. Many of the comments thus far have specifically been focused on ICE and its efforts to deport foreign nationals illegally residing in the United States.
The advent of artificial intelligence is rattling a lot of cages. Trust me, I should know; two of our four daughters are freelance commercial graphic artists, and they are (rightfully) worried about being underbid and driven out of the market by computers. As for me, I’m not too worried – what computer could ever match my inimitable style, my wit, my wisdom, not to mention my modesty?
The Equal Protection Project has sent a Request to the Department of Justice calling for an investigation and possible enforcement action against Colorado’s Advancing Students for a Stronger Economy Tomorrow (ASSET) law, which, among other things, provides in-state tuition discounts to students illegally in the country while denying similar benefits to American citizens resident in other states.
Discrimination against American-born students has been a focus at EPP for a while. You may recall that in July 2025, after EPP complaints against five universities for DACA/”Undocumented” only scholarships, the Department of Education opened investigations and launched an initiative to address discrimination against Americans, creating a media firestorm:
The suspected shooter who opened fire at a Rhode Island high school hockey arena on Monday evening is a 56-year-old man who identified as transgender and made a number of alarming posts on social media prior to the shooting.
The suspect, Robert Dorgan, also went by Roberta and used the last name Esposito. Dorgan posted on X the night before the shooting, “keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK,” in response to an anti-transgender post referring to Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) by their birth name, “Tim McBride.”
A doctor who was present during Jeffrey Epstein’s post-mortem has blown the whistle and declared that the child predator did not die of “suicide” because he was “strangled.”
Dr. Michael Baden, the former New York City chief medical examiner who observed the autopsy on behalf of Epstein’s family, is renewing calls for a full investigation into the convicted sex offender’s death.
A measure to place a pro-life constitutional amendment on the ballot this fall in Wyoming fell short by a single vote of the 2/3rds threshold of votes required during a budget session. The final Senate tally was 20-11, with nine Republicans and the state’s only two Democrat senators casting nay votes.
Senate Joint Resolution 7 was sponsored by Riverton Republican Sen. Tim Salazar, who said, “This is one of the most important issues of our day.” He added, “I and many others simply seek a dialogue.”
Investigative journalist Nick Shirley has uncovered major irregularities in California’s voter rolls, including more than 100 people allegedly registered at a single residence, dozens registered to a mail store, voters listed as 125 years old, and even a case where dogs were reportedly registered and received ballots. He also points to deceased individuals voting.
Mentally unstable male predators, encouraged by woke culture to claim they have gender dysphoria as a license to invade women’s spaces — and worse — have been on a real rampage lately.
UPDATE: The man who opened fire in a Rhode Island ice arena shot and killed his wife and shot two of his kids before turning the gun on himself, according to Fox News. The incident is being called a “domestic violence” altercation that turned deadly, according to the outlet.
All members of the Coventry Boys Hockey team have been accounted for and are safe.
Original article: At least two people were killed in an apparent mass shooting at an indoor ice rink in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, on Monday afternoon, according to local reports.
If full-blown totalitarianism ever comes to the United States, liberal women will lead the way.
Indeed, the lengths to which liberal women will go in order to silence conservative voices call to mind George Orwell’s dystopian classic novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four.”
In a video posted to the social media platform X, a white-haired woman named Nancy Krause, whose voice dripped with characteristic liberal condescension, appeared at a school board meeting in Calvert County, Maryland, to declare that someone, presumably her, had called Child Protective Services on teens who started a chapter of Turning Point USA, the conservative student organization co-founded and led by the late Charlie Kirk.
THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—A Minnesota activist group encouraging protests against immigration enforcement will host a training to teach attendees to let guilty criminals walk.
Defend the 612 will instruct viewers of the Feb. 23 virtual “Jury Nullification Training” on how to use false jury verdicts to fight “unjust laws and political persecution,” according to an event description on its website first reported by Alpha News.
