Florida State Senator Jason Brodeur, a top Trump ally, is staying one step ahead of deranged Democrats by filing legislation giving power to the state of Florida over the construction and upkeep of presidential libraries.

“I think there’s a history in the state of Florida from local municipalities giving President Trump problems with some of the zoning things that he’s had, whether it’s a helicopter pad or the size of his flag,” Brodeur said.

“With us having the opportunity to actually have the first presidential library ever (in Florida), and there’s so few in the United States … that this would really be a landmark thing for Florida. And we wanted to make sure that we had rolled out the welcome mat as best we could.”

Brodeur’s bill, SB118, sailed through the Senate Community Affairs Committee without debate or comment and has a companion bill in the Florida House awaiting a hearing.

Liberal municipalities have clashed with Trump in the past over zoning issues, dating back to a fight over an 80-foot flagpole at Mar-a-Lago in 2006.

The City of West Palm Beach and Trump eventually agreed to a 70-foot flagpole, that has now flown the American flag proudly for decades.

While there has not been any serious organized opposition to a potential Trump presidential library in Florida as of yet, we all know that Democrats, leftists, and Trump haters will eventually come out of the woodwork to oppose the construction of the 15th presidential library.

Brodeur expects the library to be a fabulous testament to President Trump’s legacy.

“I’m pleased to be able to help President Trump clear any potential road blocks to developing what I’m sure will be a fabulous testament to his legacy.”

In an embarrassing turn of events, Forbes has had to correct an inaccuracy in its own article about DOGE’s “inaccuracies.”

The article, titled “Here Are The Biggest DOGE Hoaxes And Inaccuracies,” penned by Conor Murray, inaccurately attempted to “debunk” that the National Institutes of Health has been funding transgender animal experiments on monkeys and mice.

Murray wrote, “While some U.S. funding has been used on research to study the effects of hormone therapy on mice—as revealed in a report from the anti-animal testing White Coat Waste Project—none involved surgery or monkeys.”

However, White Coat Waste VP Justin Goodman pointed out:

1. This NIH grant for transgender animal experiments that we uncovered states they will surgically remove female mices’ overaies and then subject them to testosterone treatments.
2. This NIH grant claiming to study “wound healing in transgender men, who undergo lifelong T therapy” will surgically inflict wounds on mice being exposed to testosterone.
3. This NIH-funded study surgically implanted mice with devices to infuse them with testosterone and then cut out and dissected their bones.
4. This NIH-funded study performed surgeries on male mice to implant devices to infuse them with estradiol gender-affirming hormone therapy
5. In this NIH-funded study, male mice given estrogen therapy had their testicles removed.
6. The NIH has indeed funded transgender experiments on monkeys.

The article went on to claim that the experiments were to study “hormone therapy.” However, as The Gateway Pundit recently reported, that is not true.

White Coat Waste recently exposed 15 active National Institutes of Health grants paying for transgender animal experiments, amounting to a total taxpayer cost of over $26 million.

.@WhiteCoatWaste exposed @NIH for wasting millions of tax $ to create “transfemale rats” & “transgender mice” to crudely mimic trans children & adults

People & press on the left are falsely claiming it’s not true

Below are a few direct quotes from NIH-funded grants &… pic.twitter.com/NZ0kPV1gXb

Goodman pointed out that direct quotes from these studies include:

• “We have developed a mouse model to mimic T treatment for FTM gender transition.”
• “The objective of the proposed studies is to use the FTM mouse model”
• “We will develop a mouse model of XHT (Cross-sex hormone therapy) that recapitulates clinical hormone therapy for male-to-female transition in humans.”
• “The Alexander laboratory has developed a novel model of feminizing hormone therapy in the male rat”
• “gender affirming hormone therapy in a rodent model of the transfemale rat.”

• “Effects of gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) in mice”
• “We developed a trans-masculine model by introducing either GnRHa or vehicle treatment to female-born mice at a pre-pubertal age.”
• “investigate the reproductive effects of testosterone (T) therapy commonly used by transgender men”
• “a transgender mouse model that allows for well-defined T cessation timing”
• “Female mice were assigned to one of four experimental groups to mimic gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) in human adolescents.”

The Gateway Pundit contacted all of the universities hosting the experiments for comment. Most did not respond, but Harvard denied that one of the grants was for transgender animal testing.

“It is completely inaccurate to describe this study as a ‘transgender animal’ study,” Harvard’s media relations team said in their response. “It is a basic science molecular biology study of how hormones (testosterone or estrogen) present in all of us change our body’s ability to heal wounds, which is clinically important. In the future, this research may support new approaches to heal the millions of Americans affected by chronic wounds at any time. A third of this study’s funding is focused on developing a better petri dish (non-mouse/non-animal) model to continue vital research.”

However, the grant clearly states that it is seeking to study healing in transgender people.

“A novel and promising way to better understand this link is to examine WH in transgender patients on exogenous hormones. However, research into the effects of gender-affirming hormones has not kept pace with rapid clinical population growth. We developed new models and showed that T limits wound healing in large animals with different effects in XX vs. XY animals. Further, we have shown that patients on T have impaired wound healing. A critical knowledge gap that remains unaddressed is the set of molecular mechanisms and pathways testosterone acts through to change the wound healing response.”

“This study seeks to transform current concepts of how hormones modulate wound repair with the dual aim of improving care for a marginalized patient population.”

Additionally, the Project Leader listed on the grant, Devin O’Brien Coon, is a surgeon who specializes in sex change surgeries.

According to his biography on the Brigham and Women’s Hospital website, Coon is “the system-wide Director of Gender Surgery for Mass General Brigham, leading one of the country’s largest academic gender-affirming surgery programs.”

“Dr. Coon’s clinical practice is focused on comprehensive gender-affirming surgery, cosmetic and facial plastic surgery,” the biography adds.

His most recent paper just so happens to be about mouse models of wound healing in transgender individuals after surgeries.

Like Harvard, Forbes was so hilariously eager to cover up the reality of these wasteful animal tests that they tripped over their fact-checking and gifted us a meta-masterpiece: an inaccuracy about an alleged inaccuracy.

Forbes issued a correction. This article also lists several other truths as hoaxes because some of the shared details were incorrect. I’m surprised they retracted their statement and didn’t find a way to still list it as ‘misinformation.’ pic.twitter.com/pJQWJVtzRX

— Steven Middendorp (@smiddendorp22) February 19, 2025

The correction on the article now states:

Correction (Feb. 19, 2025): We removed a section on whether taxpayer funds were used to create “transgender mice” and monkeys after finding National Institutes of Health-backed studies—noted first by the anti-animal testing White Coat Waste Project—that did include surgery on mice and an additional grant for research on hormone therapy in monkeys, which were meant to replicate the effects of “gender-affirming care” methods used by transgender patients.

Maybe next time they will pause the sanctimony long enough to check receipts.

This is the Second Amendment as it was intended.

A 14-year-old boy from Kentucky shot and killed two men who entered his home with the intent to steal his firearms.

The teen, who has not been named because he is a minor, has already been released after it was confirmed that he acted in self-defense.

The Kentucky State Police said in a press release:

On Saturday, February 15, 2025, at approximately 4:24 AM, Clay County 911 contacted Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 11 London to report a shooting incident within the city limits of Manchester. Manchester Police Department responded to the scene and found two individuals who had been shot.

They requested KSP’s assistance in investigating the matter.

Upon arrival, troopers determined that the two men involved had forcibly entered a residence with the intention of stealing firearms from a safe.

During the break-in, a juvenile resident of the home discovered the intruders and saw them holding firearms.

The juvenile, acting in self-defense, retrieved a handgun and shot both men before escaping through a bedroom window.

The two men have since been identified as 44-year-old Roger D. Smith and 51-year-old Jeffrey M. Allen.

Smith was taken to hospital but succumbed to his injuries, while Allen was pronounced dead at the scene.

Manchester Police Chief Jeff Couch told NBC News that the boy was on his own at the time of the incident.

It also remains unclear how he obtained the handgun, which Couch confirmed as belonging to his father.

The boy is not currently in custody, and no charges have been filed against him.

The police investigation remains ongoing.

The BBC just aired a new documentary on Gaza. It was titled ‘How to Survive a Warzone’ and this is one of the worst Palestinian propaganda pantomimes you will ever get to see.

It was raw Hamas garbage funded by the British public.

I had written quite an extensive take-down, but the key findings were so outrageous that I put almost everything else aside so they would not get completely lost. Please read to the bottom — you won’t be sorry.

The BBC’s agency problem

I want to start with the BBC’s elitist arrogance. Professional staffers in London — who speak neither Hebrew nor Arabic and know nothing about the conflict, are used to legitimize a well-oiled Hamas propaganda machine. In this case one of the two co-producers is the filmmaker Jamie Roberts.

Jamie Roberts is so disinterested in it all, that on the evening of October 7 2023, he posted about a documentary on Ukraine.

It is like someone *only* posting about an event in Slovakia on September 11, 2001. There is nothing inherently wrong with it — but it highlights a fundamental flaw with this documentary. Jamie Roberts likely has no understanding of the workings of Gaza at all — and is therefore at the mercy of the honesty and integrity of those he is working alongside.

The initial BBC deceit

The other co-director/ producer is Yousef D. Hammash. Which brings us to the first piece of BBC deceit. Jamie Roberts wrote a promo article, explaining how the documentary was put together. He explains they had to co-direct from London because international journalists cannot enter Gaza. This was the reason they needed to employ two local cameramen (more on them shortly).

There is a major problem with that statement. Yousef D. Hammash is Palestinian himself and was living in Gaza until June 2024.

Hammash chose to leave Gaza and come to the UK. The Robert’s article omits all this — and any reader would think that Hammash is as neutral on this issue as Roberts may be.

The professional Palestinian propagandist

What is being hidden is that Hammash is a long-standing professional Gazan propagandist. He has recently completed propaganda documentaries for Channel 4. Just scroll through his feed on X. Almost every possible false accusation is there. This man appears to have little problem sharing non-factual content.

Before starting with Channel 4, Hammash even worked for the Norwegian Refugee Council. The NRC provides massive funding to anti-Israel NGOs.

He is a Palestinian activist with a camera. How on earth did the BBC give this man the reins to produce a documentary?

The two Gazan cameramen

With Jamie Roberts probably unable to do much but nod along, and the Palestinian activist in London pulling the strings — the documentary needed cameramen in Gaza to do the legwork. The two they found were Amjad Al Fayoumi and Ibrahim Abu Ishaiba (although the BBC skewed Ishaiba’s name — I believe his public profiles have him as Ebraheem Ateef).

This is a post from Amjad Al Fayoumi — one of the cameramen employed by the BBC and paid with by your license fee — openly saluting October 7.

Fayoumi also shared ‘resistance’ videos full of terrorists, rockets, and Israeli funerals in 2021.

The lack of originality

You would think with 1.7 million or so people in Gaza, there would be a lot of untold stories to tell. This documentary focuses on four. Statistics would suggest these are fresh faces we have never seen. It turns out that is not the case. The BBC only used their first names — but I tracked them all down.

• The narrator is Abdullah Ayman Eliyazouri. His story was all over Channel 4 in November 2023 (but under a different name — more on that shortly).
• Zakharia Sarsak the young boy in the hospital. His story was all over the news in April 2024 (ABC News, Reuters)
• 10-year-old Renad Attallah. She has over a million followers on Instagram. Her story has been all over the news for months. (CBS, Al Jazeera)
• The young mother is Rana Salah. Her story has also been all over the news for months. (Reuters, MSN)

It seems as if there are so few stories in Gaza, the BBC had to borrow targets from other channels.

Not just ordinary Gazans

It is interesting that the story on Renad failed to mention that her family has created quite the online business, and that fundraising for her family had so far received over €215,000 in donations. With average salaries about 10% of western standards- Renad is now a multi-millionaire by Gazan standards. And back in spring 2024 when the BBC was telling everyone that Gazans were starving, Renad was busy doing ‘unboxing‘ videos of international aid.

Not just your ordinary Gazan then. But minor details I suppose — given what comes next.

The headline act

I want to focus on the young narrator. We are given his name as Abdullah. You need to see this Channel 4 clip from November 2023:

This is where it gets really interesting. On the screen in November 2023 Channel 4 introduce Abdullah as ‘Abdullah Abu Shamalah’. It also introduces us to his father. But that is not his father and that is not his name. Someone was telling Channel 4 lies.

The man in the image presented as his father is Khalil Abushammala.

Abushammala is Director of the NGO, Al Dameer — a hard-core activist group with strong ties to the PFLP. We are witnessing a pantomime directed by Gaza’s elite.

They are genuinely family though. Here is Khalil on FB, giving us Abdullah’s real name as Abdullah Ayman Eliyazouri and calling him his nephew:

It is an interesting video. It is from 2022 and it shows that Abdullah has been shaped as a child propagandist for years. But I now had a name, so I went looking in Abushammala’s timeline for any further clues, and I found this post, tying Abushammala to the ‘Eliyazouri’ clan through marriage:

I now had a likely father for Abdullah, and his name is Dr. Ayman Al-Yazouri. And sure enough I found Abdullah on his timeline:

There are plenty of references to his son Abdullah on his timeline (1,2,3,4). This connection had been hidden, and is not mentioned in the documentary — probably because Dr. Ayman Al-Yazouri holds a senior government position in Gaza.

He is the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, and has held other posts in Education and planning.

Here he is at an event (centre) in full Hamas colours:

The naivety, stupidity and arrogance of our media has long been apparent. It has allowed Palestinian propagandists to turn our legacy channels into foolish outlets blindly spouting Hamas lies 24/7.

Here is a post from Abdullah’s father, praising the Hamas terrorists who murdered four Israelis on 20 June 2023. Just one of many pro-terrorist messages on his timleline:

A basic rule of Gazan life is this: You do not achieve a position of power (head of a hospital, head of anything) unless your clan has factional weight — and you must also hold a respected position within it. The same is true here.

Ibrahim al-Yazouri was a founder of Hamas. He spent time in Egyptian and Israeli jails. One of his sons (Moamen) died alongside Sheikh Yassin when he was killed. On February 11 2021, Ibrahim al-Yazouri died of coronavirus.

And sure enough on February 11 2021, Ayman Al Yazouri posted his message of mourning:

And another poster linked the family together as notables to be referenced in the mourning post. So we can be clear Ayman Al Yazouri — and his son Abdullah — are part of Hamas royalty:

And finally, Ayman himself — while the head of the family was still alive — asking for a speedy recovery for the ‘dean’ of the family — the founder of Hamas — Ibrahim Eliyazouri.

At the funeral, someone by the name of Ayman Al Yazouri spoke for the family and was presented with a special Hamas shield. There is no footage — but it would be logical to assume that the Ayman who spoke — is the same one holding a position in the Hamas government.

The child of Hamas royalty was given an hour on a BBC channel to walk around looking for sympathy and demonising Israel.

The cameramen followed this family for months. There is no way on earth they did not know who this family was. What about the producers? At the very least the cameramen held back the Hamas ties of the star of their show. How can the BBC possibly justify trusting anything else in the entire documentary?

The current hierarchy at the BBC has turned a once respected state broadcaster into a propaganda outlet for a radical Islamic terror group.

88-year-old Pope Francis remains hospitalized as his health continues to decline amid a battle with double pneumonia.

Francis, long criticized by conservatives for steering the Church into left-wing political activism rather than defending tradition and morality, has been suffering from a serious respiratory infection for over a week, which has now developed into double pneumonia—an aggressive infection that inflames both lungs.

A Vatican statement confirmed that the pope underwent a chest CAT scan on Tuesday, revealing the onset of double pneumonia.

The statement added, “polymicrobial infection, which has arisen in the context of bronchiectasis and asthmatic bronchitis, and has required the use of corticosteroid and antibiotics, makes the therapeutic treatment more complex.”

“A follow-up chest CT scan, to which the Holy Father was subjected this afternoon—prescribed by the Vatican medical team and the medical staff of the “A. Gemelli” Polyclinic Foundation—revealed the onset of bilateral pneumonia, requiring additional pharmacological therapy.”

“Nevertheless,” the press release adds, “Pope Francis remains in good spirits.”

The Vatican posted another update on its website Wednesday night, stating that the Pope is in stable condition and that blood exams show a slight improvement.

“The Holy Father’s clinical condition is stationary. The blood tests, evaluated by the medical staff, show a slight improvement, particularly in the inflammatory indices.

After breakfast, the Pope read some newspapers and then went about his work with his closest collaborators. Before lunch he received the Eucharist. In the afternoon, he received a visit from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, with whom he spent 20 minutes in private.”

However, new reports indicate that Pope Francis himself is deeply worried about his survival.

RadarOnline.com reveals that the 88-year-old pontiff has reportedly informed his aides that he “won’t survive” and is “preparing for death” while he battles pneumonia in the hospital.

According to two insiders speaking to Politico, the pope has been left in distress after being prevented from delivering his usual Sunday Angelus sermon, a duty he has rarely missed throughout his papacy.

More from Politico:

On Feb. 6, before he was hospitalized, he extended the term of the Italian cardinal Giovanni Battista Re as dean of the College of Cardinals, a role that will oversee some preparations for a potential conclave, the secretive gathering that determines the selection of a new pope. The move, which controversially sidestepped a scheduled vote on the next dean by top cardinals, was intended to ensure that the process plays out according to Francis’s wishes, the people said.

Re, a longtime Vatican operator, is too old to participate in the conclave himself. Nevertheless, he will be a pivotal figure in the behind-closed-doors discussions that often take place before the conclave. That Francis selected him as dean instead of a younger candidate suggests he wanted to keep a friendly face in the role who would defend his legacy, said one of the people.

[…]

On Saturday, the pontiff also sped up his unprecedented reformist move to appoint a nun, Sister Raffaella Petrini, as the next and first woman governor of Vatican City, announcing that Petrini’s term would begin on March 1. That date was earlier than some expected and triggered unease about his health among allies, according to one high-ranking Church official. However, it might also have been a coincidence: the current governor, Cardinal Fernando Vérgez Alzaga, will turn 80 that day, making him ineligible for the role.

Even if Francis survives his latest illness, observers see this as a likely turning point as Francis shifts focus from making headway on reform to locking it in.

“He may not die now but of course he eventually will,” said one Vatican official. “We all die — and he’s an 88-year-old man with lung problems.”
