Who in the fuck are the staff at a YMCA to scold anyone? I hope she told them to go fuck themselves, and should have burnt the place down on the way out.

From the article:
"Philips says staff told her the trans woman was perfectly entitled to be in the changing rooms, and that only those on the sex offender's registry were banned from entering."
This response has to be bullshit. If they check the trans members for sex offenders, they would legally have to check everyone.

I feel her pain. I also don’t care to see an old fat tranny’s penis or any other penis. That’s why I joined a gym at the $10 a month level and change at home. I don’t see anything Christian about having young women change with dudes. I think it is a good thing that the young woman outed the place for the gay bathhouse that it is. That should result in fewer young women sharing her experience and a drop in revenue for the WMCA’s across the country. I only have an issue if she keeps her membership.

Can you imagine if someone tried to schedule a Bible study at one of those places? It would be a pretty good demo of just how far they have wandered from their roots. My guess is that they would approve the scheduling but that there would be a delay for review before it was approved. They are Christian in name only.

[FoxNews] A Pittsburgh children's hospital is under fire after its gender program navigator advocated for helping transgender women get pregnant by giving reproductive organs to them from live donors.
In a presentation on "Fertility in the LGBTQIA+ community" last May that went viral this week, the community navigator for a youth gender program at the University of Pittsburgh Children's Hospital discussed the criteria the medical community uses for gender transition in adolescents, as well as a 2018 study on uterine transplants for transgender patients.
"One area that had not been looked at before in any serious way was could the donors be live donors?" Alicyn Simpson, who works with the hospital's pediatric Gender and Sexual Development Program, asked. "Live donation has been something the [transgender] community has talked about for decades, it was really thought about as magical thinking."
Simpson said that trans men "assigned female at birth" would discuss the possibility of giving their reproductive organs to trans females.
"Well I have these parts, but I don't want them. You want them, you need them. So what if I gave them to you? How would that work?' And apparently, based on their research this is actually viable," Simpson proposed.
Simpson, who described coming out as transgender 30 years ago, said the research revealed a majority of trans women "would choose to have female physiological experiences" such as menstruation and pregnancy, with the aid of a "vaginal transplant" and "uterine transplant."
"One of the main reasons I do the work that I do, is the desire to push us in that direction," Simpson admitted.
The video clips drew strong reaction on Twitter on Friday.
"There's something insidious about taking wombs from perfectly healthy young women and transplanting them into men," political commentator Ian Miles Chong wrote in response while sharing the video.
The American Life League, which bills itself as the nation's largest grassroots Catholic non-profit blasted the idea of transplanting reproductive organs to someone of the opposite biological gender.
"The uterus is not an accessory one swaps out like a handbag. Non-paired/paired organs can be transplanted because these are 1:1. The physiological differences in male/female reproductive anatomy make the transplantation of functioning, reproductive organs impossible," they tweeted.
Philosopher Peter Boghossian mocked, "an apex of social justice!" in response while several others called the idea a "Frankenstein" procedure.
On a 2014 video from the program's YouTube page, Dr. Jonathan Fletcher, who describes himself as the clinic coordinator at the time, revealed they treat patients as young as age 12.
"We're a center that provides comprehensive care for teenager and young adults between the ages of 12 through age 26," Fletcher says.
In Simpson's full presentation, the coordinator says that children at the onset of puberty who "come out" as transgender are "encouraged" to socially transition to their gender of choice.
"Mature minors can make these sorts of decisions, but we also want them to be sure," Simpson said, arguing that puberty blockers are "completely reversible" and "safe."
On their website, the center offers resources for parents and patients teaching them about the "gender unicorn" as well as "tips and tricks" on "tucking" and "packing" of patient's genitals as well as flattening breasts with chest "binding."
[FoxNews] Censors in today's time, as we're learning from revelations contained in the 'Twitter Files,' are as incompetent as any in history
Imagine the scene in the FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... ’s the Socialist paradise of San Francisco

[FoxNews] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that a preliminary COVID-19 vaccine "safety signal" has been identified and is investigating whether the Bivalent Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine creates an increased risk of ischemic stroke in people 65 and older.
In the Friday statement, the CDC said that the preliminary signal hasn't been identified with the Bivalent Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
"Following the availability and use of the updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccines, CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a near real-time surveillance system, met the statistical criteria to prompt additional investigation into whether there was a safety concern for ischemic stroke in people ages 65 and older who received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent," the CDC said.
"Rapid-response investigation of the signal in the VSD raised a question of whether people 65 and older who have received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent were more likely to have an ischemic stroke in the 21 days following vaccination compared with days 22-44 following vaccination."
According to the CDC, an ischemic stroke "occurs when blood clots or other particles block the blood vessels to the brain."
In the statement, the CDC pointed out that a large study of updated bivalent vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech "using the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services database revealed no increased risk of ischemic stroke."
The agency also said that the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) managed by CDC and FDA has not seen an increase in reporting of ischemic strokes following the updated (bivalent) vaccine.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for Pfizer said, "Pfizer and BioNTech have been made aware of limited reports of ischemic stroke that have been observed in the CDC Vaccine Safety DataLink (VSD) database in people 65 and older following vaccination with the Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine by Pfizer and BioNTech."
"Neither Pfizer and BioNTech nor the CDC or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have observed similar findings across numerous other monitoring systems in the U.S. and globally and there is no evidence to conclude that ischemic stroke is associated with the use of the companies’ COVID-19 vaccines," the spokesperson continued.
"Compared to published incidence rates of ischemic stroke in this older population, the companies to date have observed a lower number of reported ischemic strokes following the vaccination with the Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent vaccine. The CDC continues to recommend vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine for all authorized ages and indications."
The CDC isn't recommending a change in vaccine practice.
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel said that this isn't "proof" of a link between the vaccine and strokes.
"This is not proof. This is that they see there may be a link here, and they want to investigate it, and they're trying to be transparent," he said.

I quit waiting on the CDC to come forwarded real research data.
There are too many respected, International Medical Research Authorities, making the CDC look like a bad version of the Keystone Cops lead by the 3 stooges.
But, I am sure the CDC will eventually release something in a few more years.... likely after enough of the Gene Pool has been screwed up by mRNA and whatever agenda mission has been accomplished.
The NHS is not in crisis; it is in collapse. Excess deaths are running at alarming levels and can’t be explained away by the pandemic. The indicators for the health service are on red alert. Yet the political response is one of denial, disengagement, and delay. Workable solutions are absent. A healthy workforce is a prerequisite for a healthy economy (doi:10.1136/bmj.p22).21 By that logic the NHS has never been more important, but the tragedy is that the UK’s greatest asset is being burnt on the pyre of political ideology.

Name your favorite .gov agency.
Dept of Edu: security, 6yo shooter, dropping STEM scores...
Dept of Trans[sic]: FAA outage, baby formula supply chain, fuel costs...
Dept of Defense: vax layoffs and recruiting nightmare...
Dept of Health: vax, 75 year Pfizer cover, clots and cardiac...

I got lucky. Was suspicious from the start, but it seemed at the height of the hysteria that not being vaxxed would be a problem. I got the J&J (not mRNA) vaxx and no boosters. Have had no problems.
Won't get any more of these "shots" even if there's imprisonment involved, though that's unlikely at this point.

Now they are admitting that the Covid death toll was artificially inflated and only about 30% of the deaths were actually caused by Covid
So an admission the vaccines and lockdowns were complete baloney

Now that everyone who can be strong armed into vaccination has been, the CDC and others are trying to claw back credibility. Never forget what they did. Never forget what they said.
[KhaamaPress] With the unprecedented rise of terror attacks across Pakistain in the recent past, targeting army personnel, ISI officers, police officials, and ordinary citizens, the men in charge of security establishments in Pakistain are still blustering with no pragmatic approaches ahead.
Being a nuclear power in the world, and equipped with sophisticated American and Chinese weaponry, as well has to have 600,000 strong army, the country’s internal security is still at risk at the hands of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP) and other bad boy groups.
To help the Afghan Taliban to overtake power in Kabul was a miscalculation for the Pak government and politicians for many reasons. For years, the notion that the Afghan Taliban is somehow different from the Pak Taliban was instilled in the public through massive propaganda, although both are ideological twins.
On the contrary, Afghanistan’s de facto authorities taunt Pakistain and dismiss allegations of TTP hideouts inside Afghanistan. The many expectations that the Pak government had from the Afghan Taliban before coming to power are gradually fading away.
The back-to-back cross-border shelling which took place between Pak and Afghan border security forces in December in the Chaman-Spin Boldak area resulting in the death of security officials and ordinary citizens is a clear example of souring relations between Kabul and Islamabad. Apparently, Pakistain has created for itself a hostile neighbor and a nightmare.
Meanwhile, ...back at the Senate, the partisans of Honorius went for their knives and the partisans of Stilicho went for the doors... the TTP has its demands which obviously contradict the Pak constitution. The terror and chaos the bad boy group creates among the general public need to be dealt with using full force, however, the main question remains unanswered, what does the TTP want, and why should the relationship remain sour with Afghanistan?
A pragmatic approach to dealing with the TTP and normalizing the situation with Afghanistan should be a major priority for the Pak government. Removing border fencing and delegitimizing Pakistain’s claims on areas bordering Afghanistan is not something that would undermine the illusory sovereignty of Pakistain. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... it will pave the way for finding a comprehensive solution with the bad boy groups through negotiations instead of picking up arms, which failed to bear positive outcomes over the past years.

Helping the Taliban seemed like a good idea at the time. Now Pakistan realizes that it was a bad idea. Now they have belligerents on their border.
[Mises Wire] Mention the term "deep state" in polite company and most likely no one will want to speak to you the rest of the evening. The deep state is what Wikipedia calls "discredited," something reeking of conspiracies, false accusations, and the substitution of fantasy for the truth.
After the FBI raided Donald Trump’s home in Florida, Trump alluded to "deep state" actions, which brought predictable ridicule from the mainstream media. Trump was speaking conspiratorially, and if one follows the mainstream media these days, the only conspiracies are on the right. (You know, like the one in which the unarmed, ragtag January 6 rioters nearly overthrew the US government.)
After the recent revelations about how Twitter worked to hide the story of the infamous Hunter Biden laptop, Trump attributed the secrecy to a plot by the "deep state." However, while the facts of the story really are outrageous, I don’t believe it was as much a secret conspiracy as a case of people being able to engage in certain actions with no political consequences.
Furthermore, journalist Matt Taibbi’s stunning revelations regarding FBI and CIA agents’ outright interference in the 2020 election via Twitter on the pretense that Russian operatives were spreading disinformation has further exposed both the involvement of federal law enforcement agents in partisan activities and the sad fact that those agents need not worry about being held accountable—especially if they are engaged in a "progressive" cause.
THE STANDARD DEEP STATE NARRATIVE
One does not have to believe in a single conspiracy (not even about the 9/11 attacks) to understand that there really is what we can call a deep state. Indeed, what we might call the real deep state has nothing to do with conspiracies, secret meetings, and the like. Instead, this deep state operates in the open and in broad daylight, and that makes the deep state narrative an even greater threat than the secret cabal narrative.
When I was a young adult, I read a novel by two anticommunist journalists called The Spike, in which a young, liberal, and crusading journalist uncovers a nest of Soviet agents embedded in the US government. The journalist’s story on the affair, however, is spiked by his employer (a Washington Post—like paper), but the protagonist manages to get the story out elsewhere. The result is that a compromised president is brought down and the federal government is able to ferret out the Soviet agents.
Thus, in a dramatic moment, a motivated journalist and political allies expose the equivalent of the "deep state" and the US government makes a rightward turn. The deep state goes away.
[Twitchy] Yesterday Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the formation of a special counsel to look into the matter of Obama-era classified documents that were found in President Biden’s Wilmington garage and at least two other locations. Biden had previously reminded reporters that the documents at his home were secure because they were locked in a garage along with his Corvette.
On that subject here are two great videos.
First up is Tucker Carlson’s take on all this, and it’s perfect:
#1
I didn't hear that Trump's documents were in a SCIF, known to National Archives and the Eff Bee Eye, whereas nobody knew what Joe had where.
And as someone suggested here a few days ago, how did Joe get those documents out of a SCIF and into his garage? Who released those documents for Joe's perusal and never got them back?

/\ Copies of briefing documents and classified finished intelligence products could have easily been made by senior staff members at Biden's request. Biden probably slipped them into his SCI pants pocket and couriered them home on the train.
I have not seen any reporting regarding the subject matter of the documents, which is key. I'm curious to know if Biden kept copies as a future insurance policy, or trading stock for a POS son who could not hold a job.
Somewhere in the cesspool of a White House is a Special Security Officer (SSO) whose job entails the inventory, maintenance, and storage of classified documents. Time to start asking some questions of SSO(s).
An 'Alex Jones' version might include the intentional passing of harmless classified documents (by the intelligence community) to the 'frequent flier' POS son to courier or sell to foreign intelligence personnel. That would put the POS son in the recruited 'intelligence source' category and pretty much immune from investigation.
* "Harmless" meaning... scheduled to be declassified, or erroneously classified.
If the right questions are asked, the truth will likely become known.

Tucker makes sense. Biden is toast. The special counsel is definitely a slimy hack under control of bad people. Unfortunately for Joe, those people appear to be interested in getting rid of him. My point remains- you can’t be issued TS material in a way that allows you to bring them home. Two person integrity should prevent you from taking pictures of them or taking notes. The documents themselves are serialized and are under inventory control. This has to be a set up. Biden should go down, but this can’t be like McCarrick or Epstein/Maxwell. There should be a bunch of folks in Leavenworth to keep Joe company. Leavenworth is the standard for this stuff not a teaching chair at Columbia.

Intel types would have more knowledge in the classified documents arena, but this is bothering me. At least at the end of the Biden regime any faked physical inventories would need to stop for a final accounting of the serialized garage documents. Not by Joe but by the person that issued the documents to Joe. The close out status would have either been “destroyed”which would be a demonstrably false and a felony. If TS material was accounted “lost”, there would have had to be a criminal investigation which would not have taken 5 minutes not six years. I think the docs were accounted as destroyed by someone that is going to jail with Joe.
