Trump admin holds trans medical group to account
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Human Events
...for lying about 'life-saving' nature of medical child sex changes. Back in February, the Federal Trade Commission started poking around WPATH's claims about pediatric transition services. As of today, they've poked enough to sue. The FTC, joined by Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, filed a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, alleging that the organization provided medical providers with the means to make false and unsubstantiated claims to parents to sell pediatric medical transition services. It’s about time we hold this organization accountable for the countless harms it has inflicted on so many children and their families.

Rape Crisis Org Says It’s ‘Racist’ To Notice Muslim Rape Gangs Abusing UK Girls
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: The Federalist
The Rape Crisis organization, designed to help and ‘believe’ rape victims, completely invalidates their experiences by calling their testimonies ‘unhelpful’ and ‘irresponsible.’ When Jen was 17, she was introduced to a gang of Iraqi Kurdish Muslim men who called her and other girls “white trash” and “English pig?dogs” while they raped and trafficked them across the U.K. to rape gang ”parties.” Jen decided to speak up in the Rape Gang Inquiry Report “so that religiously-motivated coercive abuse is properly recognized and confronted, even when doing so is politically, culturally, or socially controversial.”

Minimum age of 11 set for UK puberty blocker trial
Topic: Children and Family
Source: BBC News
Gender-questioning children will have to be at least 11 years old to take part in a clinical trial assessing the risks and benefits of puberty-blocking drugs. The planned Pathways Trial was paused in February 2026 after the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) raised safety concerns and suggested introducing a minimum age of 14, where none had been set previously. It says discussions with the research team have allowed "a number of safeguards", including participation age, to be strengthened. The first children are expected to be recruited in August, although ongoing legal action by some clinicians and campaigners questioning the trial's safety and ethics, may delay that.

Arizona Governor Rejects Bill Targeting Unverified Porn Content
Topic: Porn, Prostitution, and Sexual Freedom
Source: The Epoch Times
The governor says the measure threatens free speech; the sponsor says it protects people from illegal and nonconsensual sexual content online. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has vetoed legislation that would have required commercial pornography websites to verify the age and consent of individuals depicted in sexual material before publication. Hobbs rejected HB2133, the Protect Act, on June 19. The decision drew criticism from the bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Nick Kupper, a Republican, who said the measure was intended to prevent child pornography and nonconsensual sexual content from being posted online. Only two Democrats voted in favor of the bill.

Psychology Journal Under Fire

We have previously discussed academic journals canceling publications that challenge the orthodox views of mainstream scholars. The latest such example can be found in the Journal of the New Zealand College of Clinical Psychologists, which pulled the 2025 article of Arna Mitchell who questioned claims that psychology as a field is a tool of “white power.” The editors reportedly declared that such conclusions are “inconsistent” with the publication’s “values.

Topic: Political Correctness

Whoopi Mocks Whites. ABC’s The View celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day by literally laughing at the idea that white people could be discriminated against in any way. While they were laughing at the notion and suggesting it wasn’t real, staunchly racist co-host Sunny Hostin defended the idea of discriminating against whites and claimed that President Trump was trying to “erase” black history. Additionally, moderator Whoopi Goldberg openly mocked the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for caring about discrimination against white people.

...who taught that MAGA is covert white supremacy. An Indiana University professor who presented the slogan "Make America Great Again" as a form of white supremacy that is "worse than police killing people of color" is no longer employed at the institution. In a graduate-level course, "Diversity, Human Rights and Social Justice," instructor Jessica Adams showed a pyramid graphic listing statements and actions that she called overt forms of white supremacy, which included lynching and racial slurs. Alongside these acts was a list of what Adams calls covert white supremacy, which includes the Trump campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" and failing to challenge racial jokes.

Netherlands euthanizes child under 12 for first time
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Human Events
The Netherlands has confirmed that child under the age of 12 has undergone euthanasia for the first time since the country expanded its end-of-life legislation to include young children. The case was disclosed in a letter sent to the Dutch parliament by Health Minister Sophie Hermans, who said the procedure took place at the end of last year. Officials did not release the child’s identity. The development comes two years after Dutch law was updated to allow euthanasia for incurably ill children aged one to 12. Prior to the change, euthanasia rules applied only to newborns and patients aged 12 and older, reports the Telegraph.

For first time most American families see both parents working: study
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Post Millennial
The traditional single-income family once familiar in American culture has continued to decrease. A new analysis from the Pew Research Center has found that for the first time in American history, a majority of households with children now have two full-time working parents. According to 2025 Census Bureau data, 52 percent of married or partnered couples raising children under 18 both work full-time jobs. The traditional single-income family once familiar in American culture has continued to decrease, with just a quarter of households now consisting of a father working full-time while the mother remains at home. Meanwhile, families increasingly depend on two incomes to maintain a middle-class lifestyle

Chicago Teachers Seek Billions in Special Session for “What We Are Owed”
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Jonathan Turley
The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) has long been one of the most radical labor organizations in the country from its insistence on teachers being subsidized in political protests to members praising the former Communist regime in Venezuela. Now, with the Illinois Federation of Teachers, the CTU is demanding yet another massive public infusion of money despite the dismal performance of its members in actually improving scores for Chicago children. They are calling for a special session and billions in more funding.

Oregon: For Trans Activists, It’s Not Just the Fetish It’s the Grift
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Victory Girls Blog
There is nothing more attractive to grifters than easy money. And there’s nothing easier to grift from than the vast river of taxpayer money when government bureaucrats are in on the swindle. The Oregon Health Authority is sure proving it, with the added bonus of delivering up Oregon youth to the Queer fetish brigade. " The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) distributed a list of resources for “LGBTQIA2S+ young people” earlier this month filled with materials produced by radical transgender activists, including a biological man who regularly posts photos wearing only women’s underwear to social media and a furry named “Moss Lobos” who is known to wear a cat fursuit and has declared that “all cats are gay,” a Washington Free Beacon review found. The OHA sent an email on June 5 intended to connect young people to “support across Oregon,” encouraging them to “stay connected to resources that promote mental health, safety, belonging, and wellbeing.”

ADHD Is A “Superpower” If You Can Find Something You Love
Topic: Political Correctness

Joe Rogan and "Yellowstone" creator Taylor Sheridan discuss how the American education and health system medicates enthusiasm out of children by labeling them "ADHD" or "autistic." ADHD a superpower if you can find something you love. People say, “How in the world can you write a script? How do you write all these things?” It's not that hard. Once I know what it is, I can sit — you could sit me in an airport around 1,000 people. I won't hear them. And I can sit there for 12 hours straight.

Doug Casey on Raising Free-Thinking Children Amid Societal Madness
Topic: Children and Family
Source: International Man
Once upon a time, going to school and watching a movie or a TV program wouldn't endanger your kid's moral character, but now they do. And I ask myself: Where did the rot start, when did it begin? There's an old saying: Tough times breed strong men; strong men result in good times; good times result in weak men, and so forth. I'm afraid that pretty much describes what's happened with the US. We're following the path of all great empires in the past. After Athens became rich and prosperous, they fomented the Peloponnesian War, which resulted in their collapse.

How trans activists took over children’s books
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Andrew Doyle
A new report exposes how ideology has been smuggled into classrooms and libraries. Gender identity ideology is not the first religious creed to have seized control over those in power, but it is certainly the most baffling. In our supposedly post-Enlightenment world, it is remarkable to think that so many members of the political and media class have kowtowed to a supernatural belief system which they cannot coherently defend. For the most part, it is clear that very few sincerely hold it to be true. The concept of the ‘trans child’ has been essential to the proliferation of the lie that it is possible for human beings to be ‘born in the wrong body’. If there are adults who experience a mismatch between body and gendered soul, then it must be the case that the same mismatch was present at birth. It is therefore grimly logical that the more children who can be recruited for the genderist cause, the more valid the claims of trans-identified adults.

Arkansas schools teachers unions and proves education can be improved
Topic: Children and Family
Source: FOX News
Proficiency in math, science and English jumped across the board after Gov Sanders signed sweeping changes into law. For years, I have been writing about the decline of public education in the United States. The political power of teachers unions led to bloated budgets as schools pursued ideological agendas over educational advancements. Despite massive budgets, scores of students in major cities have continued to plummet or remain at the same dismal levels.

What the Researchers Missed About Boys
Topic: Men's Movement
Source: Men Are Good Substack
A recent Australian study examined masculinity attitudes among 650 boys attending an all-boys school. The researchers also surveyed parents and staff in an effort to understand how boys develop their views about masculinity. The findings were fascinating. The researchers concluded that many boys continue to embrace traditional masculine ideals. They found that boys valued strength, responsibility, resilience, achievement, protection, provision, and earning respect. They also found that many boys felt pressure to live up to these expectations and were influenced by peers and online voices.
