Trump Admin Urges SCOTUS To Step In On Military Trans Ban
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Zero Hedge
The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to uphold its ban on transgender troops serving in the military, appealing a lower court ruling that has, for now, blocked enforcement against service members already in uniform. The petition targets a June decision by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals finding the ban probably violates the constitutional rights of transgender troops already serving. The decision claimed that the ban "appears to be driven by the bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group: persons who identify as transgender." That ruling barred the Pentagon from enforcing the policy against those specific plaintiffs while their case works through the courts. The administration maintains the policy regulates a medical condition - gender dysphoria - rather than transgender status, and therefore needs only a rational connection to military readiness to survive review.

'Barbaric': Children Under Five Being Subjected To Forced Marriage In Britain
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Zero Hedge
Schools fear kids returning "engaged or even married" after holidays while officials flinch at word "racist"... Britain now has children aged five and under on the books of the Forced Marriage Unit. Home Office figures obtained through Freedom of Information requests show at least 27 children five or younger were referred between 2021 and 2025. They sit inside a wider total of more than 100 children aged 12 or under. A referral is not a completed marriage. It is information about an actual, potential or suspected forced marriage. Campaigners say the real number is far higher because so many cases never reach statutory services.

Bray's outspoken LinkedIn posts garnered the attention of conservatives who agreed with him, as well as of campus progressives who saw his sentiments as problematic. One former administrator told Campus Reform that he believes that 'the university administration is persecuting Dr. Bray and altering its standard procedures.' This professor’s story reveals how unregulated speech policies on campus can be weaponized against individuals who do not toe the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) line.

Lindsay Clancy's attorney hailed as 'feminist icon'

As Reddington attempted to get to his car, one woman told him "having a man that understands what happens postpartum and our mental health and it being weaponized against us and us being scared to lose our children if we speak out about it, it means the world to us." Reddington argued in court that Clancy was suffering from medical mistreatment, that she had been prescribed too many pills and didn't have enough help from the many doctors that she was seeing with her mental health complaints. It was also argued that Clancy feared losing her children and that's why she wasn't more explicit with health care providers about how she was feeling before she killed them.

America’s Public Schools Have an Empty-Desk Problem
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Daily Economy
Chronic absenteeism is soaring. The government school monopoly has few incentives to change. Chronic absenteeism is defined as a student missing 10 percent of classes, roughly 18 days in a typical school year. About one in five American kids now fall into that category. In New York City public schools, the figure climbs to roughly one in three. Chicago Public Schools reported more than 40 percent of students as chronically absent in the 2024-25 school year. Among black students, the rate hit 45 percent; among Latino students it reached 41 percent. Ninth-graders logged 48.5 percent chronic absenteeism, while seniors hit an astonishing 72 percent.

Homeschooled Kids Outperformed National Averages
Topic: Children and Family

Homeschooled students scored substantially above national norms in reading, language, mathematics, social studies, and science, according to the first peer-reviewed nationwide homeschool achievement study of its kind in approximately 15 years. The findings arrive as homeschooling remains above pre-pandemic levels nationwide and Texas expands financial and extracurricular opportunities for participating families. Researchers cautioned, however, that the results demonstrate an association—not proof that homeschooling caused the higher scores.

Governor Kathy Hochul is facing a fresh wave of criticism after appearing in a hijab during a New York City event with Muslim leaders — an appearance coming less than two weeks before the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Hochul appeared Friday at an event publicized by the Islamic Center of New York, addressing religious and community leaders while wearing a black head covering. Images and video quickly spread across social media, drawing sharp criticism from conservative accounts.

Universities Could Lose Foreign-Student Certification

Over Internship Rule Violations, Trump Admin Says. A federal memo warned universities they could potentially lose certification for noncompliance with Curricular Practical Training rules. President Donald Trump's administration has issued a memo to universities aimed at restricting certain internship work authorizations for international students. Officials cautioned that schools failing to comply could have their certification to enroll foreign students revoked. The memo, which is dated Aug. 24 and issued by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), said the agency "has observed a rise in Curricular Practical Training (CPT) authorizations that appear to violate regulatory requirements which permit CPT only where the training is an integral part of an established curriculum."

Taif Sami Mohammed Al Shakarchi is no longer present in the United States, according to a statement released Friday by Assistant Secretary Dylan Johnson. The revocation followed her placement on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Terror Watchlist. No further details on the underlying intelligence were provided in the department's announcement. "Under President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, suspected terrorists will never be allowed to remain in the United States," the statement read. Al Shakarchi was given the International Woman of Courage Award in 2022 by then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken and then-First Lady Jill Biden. The department said she had been recognized for her purported role in fighting corruption and her advocacy for "gender equity." The award recognized "women from around the globe who have demonstrated exceptional courage, strength, and leadership in advocating for peace, justice, human rights, gender equity and equality, and the empowerment of women and girls, in all their diversity."

There are millions of us. The algorithms just don’t know what to do with us because we don't fit neatly into a box.I’ve been wanting to write this for a while because, more often than not, I find myself doomscrolling, screaming “NOT ALL WOMEN!” It seems like most of the women represented in media are, for lack of a better word, insane. I blame the algorithms for elevating the craziest of us. So this is for you—the woman reading this who has been quietly holding it together while the world loses its collective mind. I see you. And here’s what I know about you, even though we’ve probably never met: You don’t fit neatly into a box. You’re not a tradwife and you’re not a girlboss. You’re not a Karen and you’re not a pick-me. You’re not Madonna and you’re not a whore, in fact, you might even be a reformed slut living your dream life in the suburbs (heyo).

The Madness of Male Breastfeeding
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Andrew Doyle
The welfare of babies is being subordinated to the demands of gender ideology. The concept of ‘male breastfeeding’ is not only sinister on a conceptual level; it also raises serious and unresolved safety questions. In order for lactation to be induced in males, treatment has commonly involved oestrogen and progesterone to develop the breast tissue, together with breast pumping and sometimes domperidone (a drug that raises prolactin and can stimulate milk production). The official product information for domperidone – sold under the brand name Motilium – warns that the drug passes into breast milk and that possible cardiac effects in the baby cannot be ruled out. Even if the risk is slight, why would anyone prioritise the feelings of a trans-identified male over the safety of a child?

Men’s Health Is Being Silenced Again
Topic: Men's Movement

A federal office of men’s health is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. nvesting in men’s health doesn’t take anything away from women. The bill text literally says so in plain language. Funds for the proposed office “shall be derived from amounts authorized to be appropriated by other provisions of law, excluding any amounts authorized to be appropriated to the Office on Women’s Health… or any other office of women’s health.” Why keep telling the public otherwise? For background: the State of Men’s Health Act was introduced in the House on February 20, 2026, as H.R. 7602 by Democratic Rep. Troy Carter of Louisiana and Republican Rep. Greg Murphy of North Carolina. It would require the Government Accountability Office to study men’s health in the United States and direct HHS to establish an Office of Men’s Health.

The Ali G haters are the dumbest people alive

The fury over Sacha Baron Cohen’s new film is a nauseating riot of stupidity, hypocrisy and Jew hatred. If you ever feel dumb, just remember there are people out there who think Ali G is a pisstake out of the black community. If you ever fret that your grey matter has seen better days, perk yourself up with the reminder that there are folk so stupendously thick, so utterly unburdened by wit, that they think Sacha Baron Cohen’s mockery of white men is an attack on black men. I promise, nothing will make you feel smarter than watching half-wits and arseholes yelp ‘Racism!’ over a caricature of wiggas. The Ali G controversy really does have it all, doesn’t it? It’s like a singularity of woke, a blinding collision of the dead-eyed literalism and funereal humourlessness of every virtue-draped muppet who calls himself ‘progressive’.

J.K. Rowling vs. Amnesty
Topic: Sexual Harassment
Source: The Quillette
Is this the reckoning that human-rights NGOs have long avoided? On 31 July, Amnesty International publicly apologised for publishing an “anti-rights” briefing at the heart of a weeks-long public clash with author J.K. Rowling. The document, “A Growing Threat: The Anti-Rights Movement in the UK,” purported to map a nationwide “anti-rights ecosystem” that included Beira’s Place, the Edinburgh sexual-violence support service established by Rowling in 2022. Transgender-rights activists have long criticised the charity for excluding transgender women from its services. Rowling was having none of it, and she launched a scathing public attack on an NGO that she said has “become a tyrant that persecutes those who don’t espouse what it decrees acceptable beliefs.” She invited any of the groups named on what she called Amnesty’s “blacklist” to apply to the J.K. Rowling Women’s Fund for legal support. Amnesty quickly realised that it had picked the wrong fight. Its earlier, carefully calibrated expression of “regret” collapsed into a full mea culpa; it withdrew the briefing.

Four Forms of Numericide
Topic: Women's Health

A recent article in the New York Times on the increasing rates of heart disease in young women (Why Are More Young Women Developing Heart Disease?) was amusingly frivolous and about as fact-free as an article about health advice can be. The key thrust of the article is that any woman who wants to preserve and improve her health should become informed of her “numbers.” Which is to say, she should know her blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, and hemoglobin A1C (a measure of average blood glucose levels) which are claimed to be “important for assessing risk.” The Times quotes Dr Priya Freaney, director of the Women’s Heart Care program at Northwestern Medicine: “Knowing your numbers is your most powerful tool,” [she said] “And it’s never too early to start.”
