Last year, Justice Jackson dissented in the U.S. v. Skremetti case-- in which she argued that states have no right to ban gender transitions on minors.
Today, she was the lone dissent on Chiles v. Salazar, writing that "there is no right to practice medicine which is not subordinate to the power of states."
So, states have no right to pass laws banning children from changing their sex-- but states DO have the right to ban counselors from telling boys they are not girls.
You truly can't make it up.
Rutherford County TN library voting for citizens and against American Library Association is such a massive loss for ALA.
You can tell by the reaction of the ALA librarians, with the usual threats of personal and legal retaliation, even grifting.
Defund ALA. It can be done!
COUNSELING FREEDOM WINS AT SCOTUS!
The Supreme Court has just ruled 8-1 for @ADFLegal client Kaley Chiles, who challenged Colorado’s counseling ban.
States may not censor commonsense counseling that seeks to help kids with gender dysphoria accept their bodies.
So an interesting side note in this case. The woman who formally ran the Rosemead counseling center at Biola University filed an amicus brief in this case that took the same position as far left Justice Jackson. She didn’t want Christian counselors to be able to tell gender-confused kids that God fearfully and wonderfully made them male and female. She didn’t want Christian counselors to be able to help kids overcome their gender dysphoria and embrace their created identity.
After I reported on this at @realDailyWire, she was removed from her position.
This is the power of real journalism, investigating Christian institutions. It isn’t done to attack them, it’s to preserve them.
Notably, Justice Jackson trains her fire on Justices Kagan and Sotomayor. In a footnote she basically accuses them of being dupes for the conservative majority. Kagan responds, basically accusing Jackson of not understanding longstanding law. 👀
"How is my conduct detrimental to the team? Because I believe in the truth? Because I know Jesus is the way, and the truth and the light? How? How is my conduct detrimental to the team? Because of what I believe?"

“Fifteen years. Thirteen million students. Not a single high-quality, independent study showing i-Ready improves learning.”
And in Georgia? We kept it on the approved list…because it’s widely used.
That’s not evidence-based leadership.
That’s lowering the bar for kids.
We should demand better.

Gender doctors continue to use false insurance codes when prescribing children puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
This is criminal insurance fraud. And child abuse.
.@SethDillon tells @JeremyDBoreing that he personally informed Tucker that the Hamptons Hoax was utterly false- but Tucker lied anyway.
“He told Carrie, ‘I know this for a fact.’
Tucker asked me about this personally- privately.
He wanted my accounting of things, and I gave it to him, and he’s gone forward with the lie anyway.”
Imagine you're transported into an AMA conference. What do you imagine people are talking about?
Medical stuff, right? Like cancer treatment. Diabetes maybe.
Nope.
You'd hear about "Supporting LGBTQ Inclusion in long-term care facilities." The topic is so hot, the line for the pro-side stretches to the end of the room. The dissent microphone goes untouched.
It doesn't matter that that the population they are trying to be inclusive of doesn't exist or that this has nothing to do with medicine. The AMA has evolved beyond those old notions of healthy and sick.
It's all about equity and inclusion. Didn't you know.
3 years ago, this day.
@JennyErikson & I teamed up with @Rstorechildhood and lead a @Rational_Ground delegation to Capitol Hill.
That delegation included @DrJBhattacharya. We voiced our opposition to terrible Covid policies to Congress.
Today Jay is the head of the NIH!
More evidence is emerging every week signaling major criminal insurance fraud in gender clinics. Great work from @HiKidHey and @MorrellMDmph.
This time it's Colorado Children's which appears to be using fraudulent diagnosis codes to conceal thousands of cases of hormone and PB prescriptions in pediatric patients.
You can see the image for a simple breakdown but also outlined below...
Court docs show in 2024, clinic saw 1,203 pediatric gender patients, 549 on hormones, 260 on blockers.
The Stop The Harm database, analyzed data between 2019-2023 and relied on narrow filter using gender diagnosis codes (the only diagnosis codes that are lawful to use) and found a total of 297 gender patients with 240 on hormones AND blockers.
The one year total is nearly four times greater than the one year total the clinic reported in the court documents.Worth saying again...
ONE year total in court records is 4x greater than FOUR year total found from using strict criteria based on gender-related diagnosis codes. This means there are potentially thousands of cases being hidden!
Could they be relying on fraudulent diagnosis codes to avoid public scrutiny and make insurance coverage easier for pediatric patients? I suspect that is exactly what is happening.
Remember, people go to prison for crimes much less egregious than this. I am confident the wheels are in motion at the DOJ but we need to start seeing results.
Why are states still doing this?!!!!! 😭😭😭 school-based mental health services DONT WORK.
Schools have been turned into unregulated behavioral health clinics but ppl are surprised when kids don’t learn to read & end up with some fake mental diagnosis family wasnt told about
Need to have professing Christians like @BillHaslam show backbone against the Jesus mocking, trans shoving drag mobs.
Wharton researchers gave nearly 1,000 high school math students access to ChatGPT during practice problems
Result: chatGPT is the perfect trap.
Look at the red bars.
Students with ChatGPT crushed their practice sessions.
The basic ChatGPT group solved more problems and those on the "tutor" version did even more.
Now look at the gray bars. That's the exam.
No AI allowed.
The ChatGPT group scored 17% worse than kids who practiced with zero technology.
And the fancy tutor version?
No better than working alone.
The researchers called AI a "crutch."
When they analyzed what students actually typed into ChatGPT, most of them just wrote - “What’s the answer?”
The kicker: students who used ChatGPT believed it hadn't hurt their learning.
They were confidently wrong.
This is the AI trap in education.
Outsourcing your thinking.
Of course, lots of half-baked AI literacy curricula being rolled out in schools now
Let’s of course ignore that basic literacy (the ability to read) is possible for <50% of 8th graders

The crashing and burning of Bill Gates is one of the more spectacular turns of our age. It's hard to believe. This guy was not only the global warming guru but probably the top Covid lockdown and vaccine pundit who made bank on the whole operation. Now he is a poster child of overclass arrogance, pretense, decadence, and corruption. Amazing.
These people who come around years too late deserve zero credit.
Bob Costas knew it was insane and said nothing until it was safe.
This is disgraceful.
The Nashville Predators are hosting a Pride Night featuring the national anthem performed by The Cowgays, a queer country band who routinely mocks Jesus.
Horrible.
@NHL stop promoting this garbage.
Tonight, Nashville’s NHL team will be gay Predators, the band stage will feature a tranny, & the National Anthem will be sung by a Jesus-mocking, queer country band (see below👇🏼)
This isn’t a family-friendly environment.
NHL has to stop pushing this radical LGBTQ agenda.
The Census released new numbers last night and the trend of American citizens leaving Nashville as immigrants move in heads into its tenth consecutive year.
This is infuriating legacy media propaganda spin. I honestly don't understand how the AP is still in business.
Nobody is "banned". Men just have to compete against other men. Instead of cheating.
Trans-identified female lawyer berates judge, pulls trans card, gets found in contempt, resists arrest, screams “I can’t breathe,” and yells for people to call 911 as she’s fighting police.
Absolutely glorious performance.
Women should not take testosterone.

Lead ACLU litigator Chase Strangio famously said "a penis is not a male body part, it's just an unusual body part for a woman to have."
Here a PA state senator says: "Female bodies are just as strong and fast and capable as male bodies."
These are not outlying figures or outlying views. They are brazen falsehoods, but they are brazen falsehoods that are the basis of state policy all across Blue America that the Democratic party will impose on every American citizen if they obtain the power to do so.
This is what transgenderism requires you to believe -- and will use state power to impose on the world, and will punish you for disputing. It's why there are tampons in the boys' room. It's why there are male rapists and murderers in women's prisons. It's why there are adult males with fully intact genitals in the girls' room and males giving concussions to girls in hig school volleyball matches.
Nothing this detached from reality has had the power to dictate state policy in modern American history.
It's looking increasingly likely that Max Blumenthal, son of top Hillary Clinton official Sydney Blumenthal, fabricated the fake story about Israel killing Charlie Kirk, and used Joe Kent's wife and Candace Owens to spread it.
Everything leads back to him.
Emily Kopp, the new editor in chief of Matt Taibbi's Racket News, lied about my movie project w/in a day or two of publicly taking the job. I didn't "co-write" anything with Jay B. And I have no financial "stake" in his reputation. I merely interviewed him to create a character.
The NIH redirected money away from certain grants, but spent all of the billions Congress appropriated, meaning there were no actual "cuts" to science.
But Eric Topol's politics blind him from basic math. This is exactly why trust in science has fallen.
Brutal tactic here, even an act of desperation. It gives the whole game away. Anyone can see who funds AAP. Not hard to connect the dots, my friend.

New research indicates that fathers build bonds best with their children (and craft secure attachment in them) by "destablizing the child" in a "safe environment. Fathers in the study had a unique ability to make their children laugh and therefore create more perceived safety for the child which led to stronger attachment. Mothers made children feel safe too, usually with repetition and soothing, but the laughing and playing did not make the children as attached as it did when fathers performed it.
Several things jump out from this at me:
First, a father who is relaxed enough to laugh and play indicates a safe environment. Fathers are biologically the providers of safety, so if dad is relaxed, the world must truly be safe. Children may be picking up on this.
Second, being worthy of a father's time and attention is a huge marker for kids. A father's attention may actually mean more in many cases, as we've seen in other studies. The bond with mom is equally as important, but sometimes the bond with mom is taken for granted, where the bond with dad is taken as remarkable due to perceived other demands on his time.
What this means: Dads, you've got to be playing with your kids. As silly and disruptive as possible. They need this from you. It's one of the strongest ways they can bond to you.

What we're witnessing here is a classic example of a struggle session. Bishop Barron is being called to recognize a schismatic doctrine he doesn't accept and being dragged socially for refusing it acknowledge it. It is taking place without regard for factual accuracy and in a leveraged, besmirching way.
The key thing to observe here is that Bishop Barron had no good options once Boller started targeting him. She pulled him into her schemes, leaving him with three kinds of options: agree with her characterization of things, respond contrarily, or don't respond at all. All three of these options are losers from his perspective.
If he agrees with her, he gives in to her lies and misrepresentations and ends up supporting them.
If he responds contrarily (which he did), he gets attacked and ripped, accused of dishonesty, misrepresentation, and misfeasance.
If he doesn't respond at all, it continues with increasing pressure until he does, besmirching him through accusation and allegation all along (which is how she got his attention in the first place).
This is why, Scripturally, Satan is referred to as a "prosecutor" (or accuser), not just the Father of Lies. This is how the game works, and it is that spirit that animates the struggle session both in general and in this specific instance.
The way a struggle session works ultimately is by leveraging a community of people, which may, in fact, be far smaller than appearances give (especially online), to get someone to cave in on their moral views and to adopt new ones that require a new hermeneutical framework ("theoretical or eisegetical lens") to recognize.
In this case, Boller, et al., are presenting a schismatic view (Vatican I, maybe, approximately) up against the current Vatican II doctrine and trying to leverage personality to discredit the existing doctrine in favor of their preferred doctrine. They're approaching this as (social) schismatics trying to leverage a religious conflict between their very minority faction and the prevailing view of almost all Catholics. The main mechanism (and possible real point) of this activity is to recruit people through online bullying to adopt the contents of their schismatic campaign (that is, recruitment, not revolution, yet).
The struggle session is only actually occurring, therefore, within the community of people who have that (bad, twisted) framing or in people who are susceptible to it. It is not happening in reality, but the struggle session is designed to isolate the target from a broader social circumstance that can provide stability and clarity in the midst of the attack. Bishop Barron would be wise to remember that these people are virulent schismatics and the opinion of angry online people is, in fact, actually fringe.
Furthermore, other solid Catholics (among others) would be wise to remember that the more isolated Bishop Barron feels, the more successful this attack will be. The goal is ultimately to diminish his standing and credibility if they cannot recruit him to their side.
For reference, the term "struggle session" comes from its original description in Mandarin Chinese: pīpàn dòuzhēng (批判鬥爭), which is what the Maoists called it, pīdòu for short. Pīpàn refers to the process of criticism and the schismatic framework through which the struggle is done, and dòuzhēng literally means to struggle with. It is sometimes referred to as the process of "criticism and self-criticism" (pīpàn and zìwǒ pīpàn). These terms specifically refer to the kind of ideological struggle that's supposed to produce thought reform or "ideological remolding" (sīxiǎng gǎizào, 思想改造).
Boller and her associates have, with what appears to be malicious intent, dragged @BishopBarron into this drama as a means of furthering their campaigns, whether personal or political (in my estimation, both).
May 16, 1963. Gordon Cooper was orbiting Earth alone inside a capsule barely big enough to turn around in, moving at 17,500 miles per hour.
He had been up there for over a day.
Then the warnings started.
First a faulty sensor screaming that the ship was falling — it wasn't. He switched it off. Then something far worse: a short circuit knocked out the entire automated guidance system. The one that kept the capsule steady. The one that was supposed to bring him home.
Without it, reentry was nearly impossible.
Too shallow an angle and the capsule would bounce off the atmosphere back into space. Too steep and it would incinerate. The margin for error was razor thin — and every computer that was supposed to hit that margin was dead.
Down on the ground, NASA engineers watched the telemetry in silence. They could see everything going wrong. They could fix nothing.
Cooper didn't panic.
He uncapped a grease pencil and drew lines directly on the inside of his window to track the horizon. He looked up at the stars he had spent months memorizing and used their positions to orient the ship by eye. Then he set his wristwatch.
Because when you have no computers left, you become the computer.
At exactly the right moment — calculated in his head, confirmed by the stars outside — he fired the retrorockets. The capsule shook. The sky turned to fire. For several minutes, no one on Earth could reach him as plasma swallowed the ship whole.
Then the parachutes opened.
Faith 7 hit the water just four miles from the recovery ship — the single most accurate splashdown in the entire Mercury program.
The man with a wristwatch and a few pencil marks on a window had outperformed every automated system NASA had.
We talk a lot about technology saving us. And it often does.
But Cooper's story is a quiet reminder that behind every machine, there still has to be a human being who can look out the window, think clearly under pressure, and decide what to do next.
The final backup was never the software.
It was him.
Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.
