Gender Dysphoria in Kids - It's Time for Some Serious Research

By Tim Murphy, Author of The Christ Cure

Available studies are fraught with errors.

At a recent state psychological convention hosted by the Pennsylvania Psychological Association, I attended a presentation describing standards for "Writing Letters in Support of Gender-Affirming Medical Procedures." Gender dysphoria diagnosis is a "sense of unease that a person may have because of a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity" used by insurance companies and doctors for gender-affirming surgery or hormone treatment. In presentations of psychological standards, studies may be misquoted and poor research design overlooked. When clinical recommendations are made regardless of these errors, however, the impact of these errors is not benign. The seriousness of the outcome (irreversible gender-changing surgery and enactment of laws) requires strict adherence to objective science. [more...]

Georgia Grand Jury Indictment Released Before Grand Jury Indicted Trump

By Daniel Greenfield

"Sentence first - verdict afterwards."

Last week, I noted how worthless grand jury verdicts were. The Georgia grand jury is a good example... a reality that was brought home when the Trump indictment in Georgia appeared on the site even before the grand jury appears to have made it. Rubber stamps don't get much rubberier than that. Rather than addressing the reality of this, the media is in full swing accusing Reuters of perpetrating a right-wing conspiracy. [more...]

Sen. Rubio Asks Securities & Exchange Commission What It's Doing About China Stocks Coverup

By Kenneth Rapoza

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) wants to know what the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is doing to protect investors from what increasingly looks like a purposeful move on the part of Beijing to conceal information about China companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges. In a letter sent to SEC Chairman Gary Gensler on Aug. 11, Rubio wrote that he was concerned about news reports claiming China was "pressuring firms to conceal information about the risks of doing business in China. If true, this effort is a direct challenge to American law and securities regulations." [more...]

Feminists' Fear and Loathing of Their Own Sons

By Mark Tapson

Stamping out the toxic masculinity from your teenage boy before it's too late.

HuffPost Personal recently posted an opinion piece titled "I Took My 15-Year-Old Son to See 'Barbie' Because I'm Worried He Could Become Ken," which at first I understandably took to be satire. But no, progressivism is often simply a parody of itself, and that is the case with this HuffPost piece. Beyond its unintentional entertainment value, however, it’s a revealing look into the mindset of feminists who wrestle with the misfortune of having borne one or more male children instead of daughters with whom they can bond over their shared oppression under the boot heel of – ugh – men.

Anthony's Blue Collar Anthem Hits Home and Number One

By James Hirsen

Former factory worker and off-the-grid farmer Oliver Anthony performed an original song for an audience comprised of his dogs. The instant the video was uploaded to the Web, Oliver's world changed forever. Just days ago, the Virginia singer-songwriter was unknown to the general public. Now he has the number one song on iTunes. It's called "Rich Men North of Richmond." [more...]
