The ‘advocacy for expanding the pool of vulnerable children subjected to life-altering procedures they may later regret is reprehensible.’

There’s an organization called the World Professional Association for Transgender Health that promotes that particular ideology, the scientific impossibility that men can become women or vice versa.

It even offers “guidelines” for imposing such chemical alterations and body mutilations on children.

Now members of Congress are investigating whether the Biden-Harris administration tried to influence that group to remove age minimums for those surgical body invasions.

The Washington Stand reports it is the House Oversight Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services whose members are reviewing the Biden-Harris role in “shaping guidelines for the provision of gender transition procedures to both adults and minors.”

The New York Times previously confirmed federal Health and Human Services officials two years ago “lobbied” WPATH to take away age minimums.

Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., chief of the committee, said in a letter to HHS, “We are concerned that HHS officials, acting in their official capacity, inappropriately applied pressure for change to international pediatric medical standards.”

Cited were Rachel Levine, an official at HHS, a man who identifies as a woman, and his aide, Sarah Boateng, as “key actors involved in pressuring WPATH, according to email records disclosed in a court filing.”

The leftist organization had proposed in 2021 “Standards of Care” for such procedures, and had recommended giving cross-sex hormones to children as young as 14, mastectomies to those as young as 16, and genital surgeries or hysterectomies at 17.

The Stand reported then Levine and Boateng asked that age minimums be removed, over political issues, not medical, the report said WPATH emails confirmed.

“According to one email, Boateng ‘is confident, based on the rhetoric she is hearing in D.C., and from what we have already seen, that these specific listings of ages, under 18, will result in devastating legislation for trans care. She wonders if the specific ages can be taken out,’” the report said.

Another charged that Levine was “very concerned” that specifying ages “will affect access to care for trans youth and maybe adults.”

“Health care” is what pro-transgender radicals use to described the chemicals given, and surgeries done to patients.

Ultimately, WPATH released its document without those age recommendations.

Transgender promoters in the U.S. often have used WPATH citations to promote their ideology, arguing that gender “procedures” are in accordance with WPATH “standards” for care.

The report noted, “The publication of these emails provoked criticism at the Biden-Harris administration’s apparent political interference in medical recommendations. According to a nationwide study, in 2022 nearly 80% of Americans opposed gender transition procedures for minors.”

McClain wrote, “The Biden administration’s advocacy for expanding the pool of vulnerable children subjected to life-altering procedures they may later regret is reprehensible. Emails indicating that this advocacy was done for political advantage — possible to satisfy extremist elements of its base — is [sic] even more outrageous.”

The House subcommittee also wants to look at HHS records on the issue, and is requiring the agency to turn over relevant documents and communications involving WPATH.

A congressional letter to HHS said, “The committee expects your full cooperation with these requests. Under your purview, HHS has not cooperated in good faith with the committee’s oversight of HHS and its subagencies. … HHS and its subagencies have been recalcitrant in responding and producing documents …. It is unacceptable for HHS to interfere with congressional investigations by refusing and delaying cooperation with the committee’s oversight.”

ABC rejected Kamala Harris’ last-minute effort to change the rules for the upcoming presidential debate scheduled for September 10.

The Harris campaign on Monday requested both candidates’ mics be unmuted for the entire 90-minute debate.

President Trump requested similar rules for his CNN debate against Joe Biden in June: Muted mics, no audience, no notes and no props.

ABC News told both campaigns that it accepted the “CNN rules” for the September debate.

However, according to an email obtained by The New York Post, Kamala Harris tried to change the mic rules at the last minute, but got rejected.

Harris spokesman Brian Fallon fumed and lashed out at Trump after ABC rejected Kamala’s latest tantrum.

Kamala’s handlers are still trying to push ABC to change the debate rules because they are afraid of Trump.

“Our latest understanding is that even though Trump said Monday he would be fine with an unmuted mic, his handlers don’t trust him to spar live with VP Harris and are asking ABC to ignore Trump’s comments and keep the mics muted or else they will back out of the debate for a third time. We have been asked to accede to Trump’s handlers’ wishes on this point for the sake of preserving the debate. We find the Trump’s team’s stance to be weak, and remain in discussions with ABC on the final rules,” Brian Fallon said.

Update: Our latest understanding is that even though Trump said Monday he would be fine with an unmuted mic, his handlers don’t trust him to spar live with VP Harris and are asking ABC to ignore Trump’s comments and keep the mics muted or else they will back out of the debate for…

ABC News’ own internal emails paint a different story, according to The New York Post.

The New York Post reported:

ABC News has declined to adopt Vice President Kamala Harris’ request to have wholly unmuted microphones during her Sept. 10 debate with former President Donald Trump — after days of wrangling over what Republicans viewed as Democratic attempts to lay a trap for the GOP nominee.

A network email reviewed by The Post lays out similar rules as those for Trump’s June 27 CNN debate against President Biden — including no audience, no pre-written notes or props and muted mics when a candidate is not speaking.

Trump and Harris will be standing on stage and will only be allowed to have a pen, a pad of paper and a bottle of water.

The Republican campaign had insisted the debate — set to be held at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center — follow the same rules as the June showdown with Biden.

However, Harris’ team claimed Monday that they wanted both candidates’ mics on for the entire 90-minute forum.

A top Trump ally said ABC News had informed both campaigns in writing last week that it would employ the “CNN rules” and both had confirmed that Sept. 10 was a “go.”

During her two terms in the United States Congress, New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, otherwise known as “Sandy,” has amassed a literal “Best Hits” of insane statements on social media and increasingly radical pieces of proposed legislation, which have even included AOC claiming that God made it rain in her Bronx area district to stop Trump’s historic rally.

She’s even been labeled as Iran’s “Useful Idiot.” 

From the infamous “Green New Deal” to accusing Israel of genocide and calling President Donald J. Trump a Neo-Nazi days after he dodged the assassin’s bullet in Pennsylvania, she never seems to miss an opportunity to demonstrate her absolute ignorance every time she opens her mouth.

Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank, the millionaire serial entrepreneur and economic analyst, took AOC to task a few months ago, telling Townhall.com that he wouldn’t trust AOC to run a candy store.

Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank recently appeared on a podcast with Greg Gutfeld sidekick Tyrus and part of their conversation was about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

While O’Leary praised AOC’s ability to manipulate social media, he pointed out that her district looks like a third world country and mentioned the disaster she caused with Amazon early on in her tenure.

He ultimately concludes that he wouldn’t hire her to run a candy store.

Tina Forte, born and raised in the Bronx, is a business owner who challenged AOC last cycle. She sailed through the GOP primary with no opposition this summer and is not sparing any expense exposing AOC’s radical support for the Biden regime.

Given the fact that African-American and Hispanic voters are now voicing their support for President Trump at levels never before seen for a GOP presidential candidate, 2024 may be the year that AOC gets the boot from NY’s 14th congressional district.

“AOC is a radical who does not care about the people of New York. She lives a lavish lifestyle, hires her own armed security, and thinks she deserves a pay raise. She cares about herself, not us.”

Time after time AOC stands on the side of oppressive dictators and makes excuses for terror organizations.  We need someone who will fight for New York, not Hamas terrorists,” explained  Forte.

Model and former Dem Adrianne Curry took a swing and woke cheerleader Mark Cuban after Cuban went on a praise-a-thon for Kamala Harris.

Curry won the first season of America’s Next Top Model in 2003 and, though once a Democrat, has increasingly become critical of the party’s tactics and positions.

On Friday, Cuban posted a love note praising Kamala for “steering the Democrat Patry in a better place.”

Cuban’s praise comes despite the fact that Harris has been hiding from the press, only providing a vague sense of her platform, flip-flopping on some major issues, and even stealing ideas directly from President Trump, including building a wall at the border, removing taxes on tips, and a child tax credit, just to name a few.

Cuban praised Harris in a social media post on X, arguing that she is steering the Democrat Party in a better direction.

“Kamala Harris is not falling in line with Democratic Party Policies,” Cuban said. “Kamala Harris is defining her own policies, and the Democratic Party is falling in line with her.”

“She literally is redefining the party,” he added.

Kamala Harris is not falling in line with Democratic Party Policies.

Kamala Harris is defining her own policies, and the Democratic Party is falling in line with her.

She literally is redefining the party.

Curry asked the question on the minds of millions, “WHAT POLICIES??????? the only ones she has stated were TRUMPS.”

Curry did not back down when some X users pushed back, saying, “I was a lifelong Democrat. Why would I reward the party who betrayed me, betrayed women, and constantly betray their voter base by doing selections instead of elections?”

“Bernie AND rfk jrJr. re ROBBED by a corrupt and bloated machine. F THEM.”

Curry also explained her own #WalkAway moment in detail.

I WAS a lifelong Democrat. I’ll never forget the moment I saw Obama start to buddy up with globalist war monger Bush…or when the media started to glowingly talk about Bush.

I’ll never forget when they started pushing extremist views about gender, identity, and kids… and then GASLIGHT people about it.

I’ll never forget their campaign to convince Americans that being morbidly obese is healthy. To trust the paid off experts. I’ll never forget seeing them choose Biden, an unpopular man with dementia. I’ll never forget Biden choosing the least popular candidate to be V.P. because of her skin color and vagina. I’ll never forget that they robbed Bernie twice and later RFK Jr. Of that sweet democracy they claim to be for To INSTALL Hilary & Kamala. I’ll never forget all the Trump media hoaxes I debunked in 2020 by watching the full unedited videos. I’ll never forget how I was treated when I pointed these things out to my own friends. I was surrounded by dogmatic cultists who toss you from “the left” the moment you hold your own side accountable for their wrong doings.

I watched people get shadowbanned, something Zuckerberg just admitted to doing. I watch my old side advocate ANTI-FREE SPEECH. I watched them gleefully admit to a shadow campaign to sway an election. I watched the CIA break laws and sign a letter directly interfering with our elections while dems cheered. I watched the media hide information to help sway elections in their favor.

Just because it benefited MY old SIDE didn’t make it right. I left. So, F&ck off. Seriously.

The people have been robbed completely of their voices to thunderous applause. #walkaway

According to Epoch Times, the vast majority of Americans have no pre-existing immunity to the highly pathogenic avian influenza:

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collected blood from 489 people and tested their blood for antibodies against clade 2.3.4.4b A H5N1, a strain of the avian influenza that is currently circulating in the United States.

“This study found no pre-existing neutralizing antibodies to 2.3.4.4b. A(H5N1) and that fewer than 1% of people had low binding antibodies,” a CDC spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.

The data means “that there is little to no pre-existing immunity to this virus and most of the population would be susceptible to infection from this virus if it were to start infecting people easily and spreading from person-to-person,” the CDC said.

Earlier this summer, Dr. Peter McCullough, gave an update of where we are with the bird flu and what we can do to be prepared.

First, Dr. McCullough says the mass destruction of livestock in order to “eradicate” the virus is “futile” and will only work to constrain our food supply – not end the spread of bird flu.

Second, McCullough believes it is clear at this point that the rapid spread of bird flu to migratory birds and mammals is the result of gain-of-function serial passage research and a lab leak. A set-up that looks eerily like how COVID-19 was released on the globe.

Third, Dr. McCullough rightly points out that the fearmongering around the bird flu is being promulgated by big pharma in order to facilitate mass vaccination of animals and humans all of which will line the pockets of the bio-pharmaceutical complex and their NGO backers.

Finally, and most importantly, Dr. McCullough urges having early prevention and treatment strategies on hand just in case.
