To make America great again, this country must stop all gender transitions for children. Not only is this morally reprehensible, but it is the antithesis of media care. Despite this being common sense, sense is not so common among the left. This is why the federal government did what needed to be done. Many hospitals acquiesced not because it was the right thing to do, but because they feared losing federal funding. One Minnesota hospital, however, was not phased by this pressure and has decided to resume these Frankenstein procedures, despite the government mandates.

In a decision released this morning, Finland’s supreme court voted 3-2 to convict a bishop and a member of parliament for publishing a pamphlet explaining Christian theology about sexual differences. The decision could tacitly ban orthodox Christianity in Finland by banning Christians from speaking about what the Bible clearly says.

Bishop Juhana Pohjola and Member of Parliament Paivi Rasanen face thousands of euros in fines and their challenged Christian speech “removed from public access and destroyed,” the court ordered, unless they successfully appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. If they appeal, the case could affect speech and conscience rights worldwide.

Some of the legal experts who have battled the abortion ideology and its related industry across the United States for years are warning that in the wake of Dobbs, which returned regulation of the industry to individual states, some of those are now moving into territory that is causing alarms.

That would be the move toward infanticide.

Officials at the American Center for Law and Justice have posted a warning about the “troubling trend.”

“In the wake of Dobbs and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the abortion debate obviously didn’t end – it intensified and shifted to the state level. Now, radical-Left state legislatures are emboldened, believing they have a license to advance bills that, under the guise of ‘reproductive freedom,’ are quietly dismantling protections for babies – even after birth.”

Israel has passed a law making the death penalty by hanging the default punishment for West Bank Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis.

The UK, Germany, France and Italy said the move was “de facto discriminatory” and “Israel risks undermining its commitments to democratic principles”.

A joint statement called the death penalty “an inhumane and degrading form of punishment without any deterrent effect”.

UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper posted the statement on X, adding: “The death penalty is wrong and we oppose it around the world.”

In case you were still wondering why the Democrats were so militant about funding Ukraine and why Democrats and RINOs are now targeting Orban.

Watch Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, lay out explosive charges that Ukrainian funds were funneled through Europe to influence U.S. elections and benefit Democrats.This major scandal has serious legal and national security implications, raising urgent questions about foreign money, campaign integrity, and the handling of U.S. taxpayer funds tied to the Ukraine war.

The University of Pennsylvania must provide the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission a list of employees who belong to Jewish groups, including their names and contact information, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

The decision comes after Penn resisted a 2025 subpoena stemming from a charge that the university engaged in repeated harassment of Jewish employees, as detailed in Judge Gerald Pappert’s memorandum.

Penn has rejected the discrimination charge and claims that the EEOC’s subpoena is unconstitutional.

Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey made a breakthrough in understanding a decades-old geographical mystery by identifying a large granite body buried beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). The team came upon the mystery after noticing some exotic (pink) boulders located on top of black volcanics within the Hudson Mountains. Following this, they conducted state-of-the-art airborne gravity surveys and modern radiometric dating to establish how these ‘erratic’ boulders were tied to the massive, magmatic Jurassic-aged granite body (the ‘hidden giant’), which is measured at 100 kilometres across and covers a surface area roughly half the size of Wales, extending 7 kilometres deep below the Pine Island Glacier. The hidden giant’s incredible hardness will also greatly affect ice flow rates to the ocean, thereby providing a new factor in the knowledge base used to predict global sea level rises due to ice melt rates worldwide.

Scientists at the University of Waterloo have proposed a new way to explain how the universe began, offering a fresh perspective on the Big Bang and its earliest moments. Their findings suggest that the universe’s rapid early expansion may have emerged naturally from a deeper and more complete theory known as quantum gravity.

The research was led by Dr. Niayesh Afshordi, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter Institute (PI). His team explored a new way to combine gravity with quantum physics, which describes how the smallest particles behave. Although Einstein’s theory of general relativity has worked extremely well for over a century, it fails under the extreme conditions present at the universe’s birth. To overcome this, the researchers used Quadratic Quantum Gravity, a framework that remains mathematically stable even at the extremely high energies similar to those during the Big Bang.

“Even without therapy, many people around the world have experienced changes in their patterns of attraction and behavior.”

Dr. Paul Sullins, Senior Research Associate at the Ruth Institute, recently published “Sex Differences in Reported Effectiveness and Psychosocial Effects of Therapy-Assisted Sexual Orientation Change.”

His analysis shows:

  1. All the individuals in this sample had reduced their same sex behavior to “slight” or none.
  2. Although most sought out supportive therapy, 41% changed their same sex sexual behavior with no sexual reorientation therapy.
  3. Therapy affected men and women differently. Women were more likely to have strongly reduced same sex attraction than men, 88% v. 39%.
  4. Therapy to change sexual orientation sometimes brings relief from other psychologically troubling issues, most notably reductions in depression for women and reductions in self-harm for men.

Pro-abortion to the gills, the Guttmacher Institute this week reported that there were a whopping  22% fewer abortions in Iowa in 2025 than there were in 2024. The welcomed drop (to pro-lifers) in abortions was from 3,380 to 3,050.

2025 was the first full year Iowa’s “Fetal Heartbeat Act”–Senate File 579– was in effect.

“The data include numbers from Iowans who got abortions at one of the state’s brick-and-mortar clinics and through telehealth appointments, including those who received abortion pills from out-of-state medical providers in states with shield laws,” according to Natalie Krebs of Iowa Public Radio.

Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte has referred New York’s anti-Trump Democrat Attorney General Letitia James to federal prosecutors over two cases involving possible homeowner’s insurance fraud, according to a report.

Pulte sent referral letters on Wednesday to federal prosecutors in Florida and Illinois.

The referral alleges that James made false statements on insurance-related applications tied to properties in those states.

Kansas lawmakers overrode Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of the CARE Act, protecting pregnancy resource centers from abortion mandates and preserving their freedom to offer life-affirming care to women and families.


The Kansas Legislature last week overrode Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of House Bill 2635, which expands protections for pregnancy resource centers and limits certain forms of state regulation over their services.

As the global press grappled with a string of gut-wrenching, dystopian euthanasia stories – the latest of which is the killing of a young Spanish gang rape victim – the Canadian press is still publishing overtly eugenicist propaganda.

On March 25, CTV published a story on the impending death – now carried out – of John Maloney, who was suffering from partial blindness. The headline: “3 days before his medically assisted death, this Alberta man is reflecting on ‘his right to die.’”

The CTV suicide puff piece detailed John Maloney’s choice of music to serve as the soundtrack to his lethal injection; noted approvingly that Maloney, “[a]s a Christian,” was “preparing for his final moments” as “a practice in bodily autonomy,” and quotes Maloney as saying that although God forbids suicide, he thinks that God “gets it.” It is enough to make one shudder. (The press only quotes religiosity approvingly when it can be done in service of an anti-Christian agenda.)

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said a large swath of the country’s farmers will be unaffected this planting season, despite the rising fertilizer costs stemming from the Iran war.

“The good news is that about 80% of our farmers, actually, last fall locked in their fertilizer,” Rollins said to reporters outside the White House on Monday. “So as we’re moving into planting season, it’s only about 20% to 25% of our farmers that didn’t lock that in. We are working directly to ensure that we can get them what they need and it won’t bankrupt them.”

As the war moves into its second month, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz has led not only to higher oil prices but also higher fertilizer prices, as Persian Gulf-based companies face difficulty exporting their supplies through the closed-off strait.

The final round of polls in Peru ahead of Sunday’s upcoming presidential election indicate that conservative former first lady and former Senator Keiko Fujimori is slated to win in the first round of the vote.

Peru, a country that has had nine presidents in the last ten years, will hold presidential and legislative elections on April 12 — the first such electoral event since 2021. The presidential race follows a series of impeachments that began with the removal of Marxist former President Pedro Castillo in December 2022, followed by the impeachment of Dina Boluarte in October 2025 and the ouster of interim President Jose Jerí in February.

Who could have predicted that California’s massive minimum wage hike would have “negative consequences?” Well, RedState certainly did, along with everyone else who wasn’t a hard-left progressive.

The law, which mandated a $20 per hour minimum wage for fast food workers at franchises that have more than 60 locations in the Golden State, went into effect in April 2024. But wait, there’s more! The law created the Fast Food Council — and gave it the green light to impose further wage increases yearly until 2029, when the council’s authority runs out.

What are the effects of the law, AB 1228? UC Santa Cruz Economics Lecturer Stephen Owen decided to find out, and surprise, surprise:

“Based on what we’ve found, I think this legislation is a classic case of ‘no good deed goes unpunished,’” Owen said. “There are unintended consequences and knock-on effects, and overall, I think the results have definitely not been as positive as policymakers had been expecting.”

WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters)—The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Monday for the Justice Department to move forward with dismissing a criminal case in which Steve Bannon, an influential ally of President Donald Trump, was convicted after defying a congressional subpoena.

Bannon was convicted by a jury in Washington in 2022 on two counts of contempt of Congress for failing to provide documents or testimony to a Democratic-led House of Representatives panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters. The Supreme Court on Monday threw out a lower court’s decision to uphold Bannon’s conviction.

President Trump gave the Iranian regime until 8 pm tonight to agree to a ceasefire deal. He made it very clear that Iran is either going to disarm and open the Strait of Hormuz, or he will bomb the regime into submission.

Of course, the Left is melting down over this, calling the legitimate targeting of infrastructure “war crimes,” while they spent the past three years turning a blind eye to the actual war crimes committed by Hamas and the past 47 ignoring the terrorism Iran has carried out around the globe.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger was the moderate democrat who was going to change the Democrat Party. She was such a moderate; not only was her being a moderate reported by the legacy media, but it was also fact-checked by independent fact-checkers. Her getting elected was a model for how Democrats are going to win the midterms by running as moderates. It’s why she gave the response to Trump’s State of the Union.

The rub is that, according to a recent Washington Post poll, she is the least popular Virginia governor of the 21st century. Because — and this is key — like most Democrats who claim to be moderate, it’s all malarky. As soon as she was sworn in, her true socialist colors shone through. And it would appear voters are having buyer’s remorse.

Dude. It’s been less than three months. Yet, here we are.

Like all “moderate” democrats before her, she is a lying liar who lies, and once getting elected, turned hard left. Boys are going back to the girls’ bathrooms and stealing their sports scholarships. A ton of taxes are on the table to make the middle class less affordable while giving elected officials a pay raise. And relevant to our current political comment, she turned Virginia into a sanctuary state by ending all cooperation with ICE. I believe that was the literal first thing she did.

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has announced that U.S. troops will no longer attend graduate-level programs at numerous Ivy League and top-tier universities beginning in the 2026–27 academic year.

Fox News reports that a February memorandum reveals that the War Department canceled 93 fellowship positions across 22 elite institutions, including Harvard, MIT, Georgetown, Columbia and Princeton, arguing that “woke” ideology was weakening military education.

Citing the need for a “sacred trust between America’s institutions and our warriors,” Hegseth reiterated the requirement that our senior war fighters be trained as strategic thinkers and decried the fact that trust has been broken by a class of elite universities which have “utterly betrayed their purpose.”

Both President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth invoked God Monday during a White House press conference detailing the rescues of two U.S. airmen whose F-15E fighter jet was shot down over Iran.

“God was watching us—amazing,” Trump said, noting that it happened around “Easter territory.”

The entire ordeal played out over Easter weekend, beginning with the traumatic shootdown of the fighter jet on Good Friday and concluding with the dramatic rescue of the second airman on Easter Sunday.
