🚨NEW: A new study found that only 2.5% of adolescents and young adults who identify as transgender completed fertility preservation before medical transition. Out of 311 patients, just 8 preserved fertility—all of them male. This is despite the fact that many reported wanting children in the future and that having biological children is important to them. Many also said they'd "reassess" their desire to preserve their fertility later into their transition, even though that option may not exist later due to the nature of the treatments. I break down what the study believes to be the reason for the low rates and sex disparity in fertility preservation, how it fits with previous research, and what it reveals about the state of pediatric "gender-affirming care." 🔗realityslaststand.com/p/when…

“You cannot measure opportunity by outcomes.” — Thomas Sowell

they want to open up your checking and retirement accounts, come into your house and count up all your clothing and jewelry. then they will tell you what your car and home are worth, add it all up, and demand some “small” percentage. every year. so bureaucrats don’t have to work.

Are you guys ready to make a ruckus? I’m looking at MILLIONS of dollars going from the CA budget directly to orgs whose core function is to protest. They then, on their socials post that they are hiring “organizers” to conduct such protests. With your money.

🚨🧵CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT PAYING PROTESTORS OVER $100M I have discovered that the state of California is using taxpayer funds to subsidize non-profit organizations whose core function is to organize protests. CHIRLA (@CHIRLA) has taken over $100M alone in tax-payer funds according to the state expenditure website. Based on their website, CHIRLA's primary function is protest-related activities and left-wing advocacy. They have been protesting and advocating since 1986 and take credit for some Newsom policies.

🚨 SIX FIGURES IN TAX DOLLARS TO PROTESTORS: “The Gathering For Justice INC” (@Gather4Justice) has taken in $236,139.00 California tax payer dollars. They BLATANTLY post ads looking to HIRE PROTESTORS on their X. Their core function appears to be protest activity and left wing political activism.

This is how someone behaves when they know their audience will not punish them for making false statements as long as it furthers their political goals. It's fundamentally woke.

It's actually unbelievable the amount of lies Tucker Carlson told in his interview with @GovMikeHuckabee. Last year Tucker posted that "a strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will ALMOST CERTAINLY result in thousands of American deaths" - when called out on his terrible prediction, Tucker revised it: "I said "could."

NEW: The Mellon Foundation doesn’t just fund research; it helps distribute jobs. In doing so, it blurs the lines between charitable patronage and a different sort: the patronage of a political machine.

In my first @CityJournal Substack I debunk the new @CatoInstitute immigration study which argues any and all immigrants are a boon to the government's finances. The truth is many immigrants actually receive more government welfare than pay in taxes.

🚨See for yourself THE LIES Tony Aguilar told on Tucker Carlson’s show - lies that @GovMikeHuckabee rightfully called Tucker Carlson out on (and visibly made Tucker squirm). Carlson had Aguilar on his show twice and has not corrected the record at any point since Aguilar’s story was debunked almost six months ago.

I looked this up because Tucker's wording felt slimy. Turns out it was. With a smarmy smile, Tucker says, "There are many more Christians in Qatar than there are in Israel." This is seemingly meant to imply that Qatar must not be treating Christians too poorly, given how many live there compared to Israel. While it is technically true that "There are many more Christians in Qatar than there are in Israel," the details matter. Israel has roughly 188,000 Christians (~1.9% of total pop.), of whom nearly all are citizens that enjoy equal freedoms. In contrast, about 400,000 Christians live in Qatar (~14% of pop.), but basically NONE are citizens due to bans on converting from Islam, and practicing Christianity is only allowed in designated areas. Essentially ALL Christians living in Qatar are expatriate workers. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN IMPORTANT DETAIL!

‘One of the most surreal aspects of following the issue of “gender-affirming care” has been to hear gender clinicians and surgeons so bluntly describe, often with smiles on their faces, the harm they inflict on the bodies of gender nonconforming children and adults, and for mainstream media outlets and human rights organizations to frame any reaction besides tacit approval as either bigoted or “right-wing.”’ Link below.

Tucker Carlson directly CONTRADICTS himself in his @GovMikeHuckabee interview - ONE MINUTE: “Israel has A LOT OF RESOURCES.” THE NEXT MINUTE: “This is a country (Israel) the size of New Jersey with NO RESOURCES.” Israel is valuable when Tucker wants to make one point, then of no value when he wants to make a different point. Zero consistency.

"This is a pattern we've seen across the West in recent years. It's really a sort of fetishizing of anything that is not seen to be ours historically." - @DouglasKMurray on the new @CityJournal Podcast.

🚨BREAKING: The UK medicines regulator has paused the PATHWAYS puberty-blocker trial due to ethical/wellbeing concerns after it emerged participating children would be asked whether they wanted to explore “fertility preservation” options before starting treatment. This shouldn’t have been a surprise. Most clinical guidelines already recommend discussing fertility preservation precisely because these interventions are known to erode or destroy fertility. And it’s also been known for years that, even when offered, these kids almost NEVER opt for it. A new study published only weeks ago found that only 2.5% of youths seeking medical transition completed fertility preservation, and ALL were boys. In practice, counseling about fertility preservation rarely changes the outcome: “gender-affirming care” eliminates the prospect of biological parenthood for the vast majority, despite most pf these children saying they want kids someday.

This is your brain on Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson.

Don Lemon is a moron. You can't judge whether certain racial groups faced a systematic disadvantage in hiring simply by looking at group "representation" in various fields. The analysis must be at the level of the INDIVIDUAL. The question is: all else being equal, does an individual's race/ethnicity influence the likelihood of them getting hired or being admitted into a school or other position? The answer is YES, it does. And we know that white people and Asians are negatively weighted and black and brown people are positively weighted. This isn't some quack conjecture. It's literally what Affirmative Action and DEI were explicitly designed to do, and the evidence that this occurred is undeniable and overwhelming. I'm literally suing Cornell University because we uncovered a secret hiring scheme that explicitly blacklisted highly qualified white candidates like me. This isn't an isolated incident; it occurred at a massive scale. People who deny this are either ignorant in the extreme, incredibly stupid, or liars attempting to gaslight us. It's mostly the latter. In Lemon's case, he's probably a combination of the last two. Ibram Kendi and other so-called "anti-racists" were explicit about the need to discriminate against white people now to correct for past discrimination against blacks. It's based on the immoral acceptance of extreme notions like the inheritance of guilt and collective punishment. We're not going to shut up about it, no matter what names you call us.

Nearly every university contains academic departments dedicated almost entirely to undermining Western civilization in all its forms. Queer theory, critical race theory, gender studies, postcolonial studies and decoloniality, Indigenous science/knowledge frameworks, and related fields function as taxpayer-funded left-wing think tanks whose sole aim is to delegitimize and destroy Western civilization. That is not an exaggeration. They have no place in higher education and should be abolished.
