"Those migrants have colonised large parts of our country, and live their lives how they choose to do so because our authorities are too frightened of being called racist to challenge them." After Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe released the Rape Gang Inquiry Report, which documented the systemic rape and often torture of up to 250,000 young British girls at the hands of predominately Muslim rape gangs, SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk agreed with calls for Nuremberg-style trials for the perpetrators and those who enabled the heinous attacks.

Zombie Study Indulging Mental Illness & Hiding Truth About Transgender Kids
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Daily Wire
It's an example of legal and political advocacy dressed in scientific research clothes. In 2024, amid a wave of state legislation on transgender issues, the prestigious academic journal Nature Human Behavior (NHB) published a study titled “State-level anti-transgender laws increase past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people in the USA.” The study claimed to find that the passage of state “anti-transgender laws increased incidents of past-year suicide attempts” by as much as 72%. Yet, in what has become routine in this research area, the NHB study’s findings and conclusions later crumbled under scientific reexamination. As a methodological criticism published (to its credit) in the NHB last month — over a year after the original study — shows, the observed elevation in suicide attempts came from a small sample (roughly 100 youth) in a single state (Idaho), at a time when that state’s “anti-transgender” laws were not even in effect. Further, the researchers did not properly control for confounding factors.

The parents of a 2-year-old girl who died of a fentanyl overdose in the family's California apartment have been charged with murder, according to the San Francisco district attorney, who alleged the couple showed a "conscious disregard for human life." The charges come two months after the toddler's death, which the medical examiner ruled to be acute fentanyl toxicity, according to San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. The child's parents -- 38-year-old Michelle Price and her boyfriend, 43-year-old Steve Ramirez -- were both initially charged with felony child endangerment, possession of fentanyl and possession of drug paraphernalia, prosecutors said.

... for using Idaho public restrooms. A judge ruled Tuesday that transgender people won’t face criminal charges for using Idaho public restrooms that match their gender identities. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Amanda Brailsford puts on hold enforcement of key components of a law adopted in March — and set to take effect July 1 — that went further than laws in other states to restrict which bathrooms transgender people can use in public places, including privately owned places where restrooms are open to the public.

Special education and civil rights enforcement in schools are moving elsewhere. The Education Department continues to shrink in President Trump's second term, as he promised it would. The White House is moving two of the department's most important responsibilities—special education and the enforcement of civil rights in schools—to other federal agencies, reports NPR. Special ed will move to Health and Human Services, and civil rights will move to the Justice Department.

DEI, Child Sex Changes & Epstein Ties Prioritized Over Patients The aristocrats.. Consumer protection organization Consumers’ Research began a campaign Monday highlighting New York City-based nonprofit Mount Sinai Hospital's prioritization of what Consumers' calls the hospital's woke and political ideology as well as having what it says are questionable partnerships such as ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Executive director of Consumers’ Research Will Hild told The Center Square that “Mount Sinai is another example of a nonprofit hospital that has seemingly abandoned its core mission of patient care in favor of a radical political agenda.”

"TikTok knowingly deceives parents," AG James Uthmeier said. "...We have zero tolerance for companies that prioritize profit over children's safety." he lawsuit, filed in St. Lucie County, seeks financial damages and a court order requiring TikTok to comply with social media restrictions in Florida. "TikTok knowingly deceives parents and allows children to be exposed to harmful and inappropriate content in direct violation of Florida law," Uthmeier said in a statement. "We have zero tolerance for companies that prioritize profit over children's safety." The suit centers on Florida's H.B. 3, which took effect in January 2025 and prohibits children under 14 from having social media accounts while requiring parental consent for users under 16.

Four of the five Giants pitchers chose to protest their team’s requirement that they wear a rainbow logo on their hats for Friday’s game against the Chicago Cubs. Landon Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker chose to inscribe Bible verses near the pride-themed logo, while Sam Hentges wore a cap with the Giants’ normal logo....According to SFGATE, some fans are attempting to organize protests against the pitchers at Giants games, with Friday’s starting pitcher, Roupp, taking much of the heat. Roupp notably said his and his teammates’ decisions to silently protest during Pride Night did not stem from hatred, but rather from a desire to express his Christian beliefs. Roupp explained his reasoning to reporters after the game.

Justice Department Memo Further Tarishes Record of Merrick Garland. Internal emails were uncovered recently that cast a new, negative light on Attorney General Merrick Garland’s record in targeting parents over school board controversies. The communications show that various Justice officials raised alarms over the effort pushed by Democratic allies and the National Association for School Boards. Career officials condemned the Biden Administration proposal by objecting that “If they do this, they might as well rename the damn thing the Anti-MAGA Task Force.”

California Will Now Certify Firms as 'Gay'
Topic: Gay/Lesbian Issues

What do you get when you combine woke, DEI, special subsidies, and technocrats? A bureaucratic standard for "gayness." An actual, legal process to determine the sexual preferences of contractors. It all stems from an already absurd program to force utilities to set aside hundreds of millions of dollars to be awarded to contractors that the state certifies as "gay." No, this is not a parody. This is real life.

Editor's Note on the UFC Bash

Once upon a time Northeast liberals just didn’t know why people liked NASCAR or the WWE. Now they’ve moved all the way from, “I don’t know it and I don’t get it, but whatever,” to “That shit I’ve never watched and don’t understand must be somewhere between porn and lynching!” Here’s Substack’s own Cox Richardson comparing the UFC bash to “the impulse that really pushed lynching in the late 19th century”: You have to be mad as a March hare to equate the UFC with lynching, but that’s where we are, I guess.

Why the UKs social media ban would never work in America
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Washington Examiner
British children may benefit from the United Kingdom’s newly announced ban on social media access for those under 16, but American children and parents should not expect similar legislation here. After months of preparation, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Monday that the United Kingdom would ban children under 16 from using almost all major social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, X, and YouTube. The ban is set to take effect next spring. But the ban may not be entirely free of politics. While most major social media platforms are included in the age restriction, Bluesky, widely viewed as a haven for users fleeing Elon Musk-owned X, is notably not included in the new restrictions.

Progressive Meltdown Ensues. Endowed with something an expat friend of mine once called a strong “cultural immune system,” the natives of the Orient are notoriously insensitive to the pleas from Social Justice™ people in the West that they walk on eggshells so as not to offend the delicate sensibilities of subscribers to globo-homo race communism. They exhibit a striking disregard for accusations of racism, transphobia, sexism, or really any –ism that so permeates and saturates the Western liberal mind.

Perpetual victimhood and racial tribalism of Karmelo Anthony’s defenders
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Washington Examiner
The Karmelo Anthony case in Texas is bringing out the worst of the racebaiting perpetual victims who try to continuously divide society with their racist worldviews. Anthony was convicted of first-degree murder for killing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet. Anthony was under the tent of another high school as it rained, was asked to leave multiple times, and stabbed Metcalf in an altercation where witnesses testified that Anthony was the aggressor. This all happened because Anthony was aggressive, and because he brought a knife to a high school track meet in the first place. He was sentenced to a maximum of 35 years.

Heterofatalism

Politics should never address anyone’s sexual orientation. In a just society, every human being is equal without regard to race, religion, sexuality, or any other secondary characteristic. But many laws and tax-funded policies today reflect “social justice” that prioritizes secondary characteristics over the primary one of a shared humanity. Being black, homosexual, or trans becomes far more politically important than being an individual. Since the goal of social justice is to “equitably” redistribute status and wealth throughout society, there has been a forced transfer of power from those with secondary characteristics viewed as oppressive — such as heterosexuality — to those with ones viewed as victimized — such as being transgendered. Society becomes balkanized, with one class of people automatically in conflict with others.
