Degenerates ‘Saving’ Democracy?
The left is almost always guilty of the very thing(s) they claim of others.
This past week, after Colorado and Maine had attempted to remove former President Trump from the ballots in their states, we’ve learned of newly unearthed efforts in Illinois and Massachusetts to do the same.
The argument from the Biden camp was reflected in his fictitious and largely overreaching speech he gave at Valley Forge late in the week. A speech that his supporters termed inspiring and angry. A speech about the January 6 riot at the Capitol. A riot where the only person shot or killed was a former member of the air-force who was shot and killed without cause by a Capitol police officer.
Because Joe Biden’s team had control of the Capitol video footage until 2023, we were never able to prove the “mostly peaceful” movements of people inside the building that day. Yet true to Biden form, the facts be damned, he makes a speech that passes off a fictional retelling of the day based on his swamp fevered imagination.
The supposed theme of which we are to understand points to him (Joe Biden) as the only one defending democracy in America.
So while he lies about the facts, and tries to kick his opposing party’s front runner from their own party’s nomination process, we’re supposed to believe that he and he alone is what is holding back the gates of hell against our freedoms?
Then riddle me this, why is he doing it against fellow democrats as well?
In North Carolina this week it was reported that Team Biden was in fact successful in getting then other declared and qualified candidates for the Democrat nomination removed from the ballot for the upcoming primary.
He didn’t mention that in the “I am Democracy” speech.
The extent of Biden’s double standard degeneracy knows no bounds. From day one in office he blackmailed school districts threatening to remove hot breakfasts for poor kids if the school didn’t take up his gender theory demands.
His team has been infuriated that even though they had been saying for months that they knew that Trump’s name would be on the Jeffrey Epstein flight logs — he wasn’t. DeNiro was. So was DeGeneres, Hanks, Clinton, Gates, Streep, Streisand, Spielberg, and Oprah.
A brand new sex ring scandal is unfolding now in Washington DC that is expected to entangle 100’s of politicians, military, national security, and other officials. The “Honeypot” raid is said to have occurred on a day when a major vote went down in DC and dozens of politicians voted strangely out of keeping with their constituents.
Team Biden seems to thrive in an Epstein and “Honeypot” establishment because his own family says so. His son’s laptop revealed a son who impregnates strippers, uses illegal guns, and leaves evidence at repair shops where it’s easy to find. His daughter documenting “inappropriate showers with dad” in her own journal, that again she just leaves somewhere.
These people aren’t fit to protect anything - much less the concept of democracy.
No President is perfect—never has been—but the beauty of our Founders was not the necessity to elect perfect people but rather to give them enough accountability with checks and balances to direct them towards behavior that is good for the nation.
And I’m super-real-sorry Mr. President you don’t get to claim you even understand democracy, much less are it’s valiant protector if you are degenerately undermining the ability for voters to choose.
Thankfully the nation’s highest court will settle this non-sense shortly but let the nation take note: the only candidate in this race who has tried to prevent “We The People” from voting for who they wish, is the guy who in all truthfulness should have never been in the White House to begin with.

*************************************************California to Cover Sex Change Surgeries, Hormone Treatments for Illegal Immigrants
The state of California will use taxpayer-funded health care to provide illegal immigrants with experimental transgender treatments and surgeries, according to a report from The Daily Caller.
The program, called Medi-Cal, will cover hormone therapy treatments and so-called “gender-affirming” surgeries “that bring primary and secondary gender characteristics into conformity with the individual’s identified gender, including ancillary services, such as hair removal, incident to those services.”
“Gender affirming care is a covered Medi-Cal benefit when medically necessary. Requests for gender affirming care should be from specialists experienced in providing culturally competent care to transgender and gender diverse individuals and should use nationally recognized guidelines,” a state memo about the program from May 2022 reads.
“Medical necessity is assessed and services shall be recommended by treating licensed mental health professionals and physicians and surgeons experienced in treating patients with incongruence between their gender identity and gender assigned at birth,” the memo continued.
According to the Caller, about 700,000 illegal immigrants in the Golden State between the ages of 26 and 49 qualify for full health insurance coverage from the state.
Several reports noted that the decision to include illegal immigrants in Medi-Cal was determined in May of last year. Democrat state Sen. Maria Elena Durazo reportedly called it a "historic investment" that "speaks to California's commitment to health care as a human right."
"In California, we believe everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care coverage – regardless of income or immigration status," Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said in a statement to ABC News. "Through this expansion, we’re making sure families and communities across California are healthier, stronger, and able to get the care they need when they need it."
GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado reacted to the news on X.
Women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines stated: “Its [sic] depressing that we have to keep distinguishing what should be satire from reality.”

GOP Governor Reverses Course, Signs Order Banning So-Called 'Gender-Affirming' Surgeries for Minors
Late last month, Townhall reported how one Republican governor vetoed measures to protect women’s sports and to protect children from irreversible, experimental transgender “care.” This includes puberty blockers, sex reassignment surgery, and hormone therapy treatment.
Predictably, the governor came under fire by women’s sports advocates and others who oppose this kind of transgender ideology. And, the state legislature had enough votes to override the veto.
At the time, the governor said that his state “would be saying that the state, that the government, knows better what is medically best for a child than the two people who love that child the most, the parents.”
This week, the governor, Mike DeWine of Ohio, reversed course, and announced that he signed an executive order banning gender surgeries for kids (via FOX 8):
“A week has gone by, and I still feel just as firmly as I did that day,” said DeWine. “I believe that parents, not the government should be making these very crucial medical decisions for the children.”
Still, the governor said on a Friday a ban on gender transition surgery is the exception because there is a “broad consensus against surgeries for minors.” Nick Lashutka, Ohio Children’s Hospital Association president, previously testified the state’s children’s hospitals “do not perform any surgeries on minors for the condition of gender dysphoria.”
DeWine also announced on Friday that Ohio’s Department of Health and Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services will be proposing several draft rules that “will provide protections for children and adults receiving care in this area from hospitals and clinics,” including the following:
Requirement of a multi-disciplinary team to support a patient through gender transition care.
Requirement of a comprehensive care plan that includes sufficient informed consent from parents of the risk associated with gender transition treatment.
Requirement of comprehensive and lengthy mental health counseling prior to being considered for gender transition treatment.
DeWine said these proposed rules would prevent “fly-by-night” clinics that allegedly don’t provide adequate mental health counseling.
Last month, Isabelle Ayala, 20, a female detransitioner from Florida, told the Independent Women’s Forum that she was diagnosed with gender dysphoria after meeting with a doctor for only 45 minutes when she was 14. She explained that her doctors sat her parents down and said that she would kill herself if she did not undergo gender treatment. At her next appointment, she got on hormones, which she stayed on until the lockdowns in 2020.
Now, Ayala is suing the American Academy of Pediatrics for their role in her gender care. “I still struggle a lot, mentally and physically,” Ayala said.
“I don’t even like to think about my fertility,” she added. “It is my greatest fear to go to the gynecologist and have them tell me that I can’t have children over some decisions that were made when I was 14.”

****************************************‘What are they trying to achieve?’ Conservative Australian legislators urge caution on religious discrimination
Should religious schools be allowed to reject homosexuals as students and as staff? The basic clash here is between the Biblical view of homosexuality and the current secular view. The two are probably irreconcilable. They certainly have been so far. Putting it crudely, are homosexuals admirable or an abomination? The Bible view is very clear, in both the Old and New Testaments.
Real Christians endeavour to live as the Bible commands. Is it the word of God or is it not? If you think it is, your course is clear. Christians have died for their faith so a "worldly" law is not likely to move them. They would be quite likely to defy it
The issue is likely to be decided by the need to placate Muslims. Prosecuting Muslim school leaders for practicing Islam will just stick in all throats. In the Hadiths, Mohammed tells his followers that homosexuals should be thrown from the top of tall buildings. That is pretty clear disapproval
Two federal Liberal Party MPs are warning that a debate over religious discrimination laws must not again descend into a culture war that captures LGBTQ Australians in its crosshairs, as faith leaders and equality advocates urged the Albanese government not to delay legislating.
Tasmanian MP Bridget Archer and NSW senator Andrew Bragg were among a small bloc of moderate Liberal MPs who broke ranks with their party room in favour of stronger protections for LGBTQ students during the former Morrison government’s failed attempt to pass religious discrimination laws on the cusp of the 2022 federal election.
A renewed debate on the issue is expected to kick off when federal parliament returns in February and Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus releases the findings of a review by the Australian Law Reform Commission. The review is designed to inform the government’s plans to legislate a religious discrimination framework while also bolstering protections for LGBTQ students and staff at religious schools.
Archer and Bragg said their positions remained unchanged on the issue and that any reform must simultaneously protect people of faith while also repealing laws that provided a legal basis for discrimination against LGBTQ teachers and students.
Archer, who went a step further than the other moderate Liberals and crossed the floor to vote against the Morrison government’s proposed religious discrimination act, said while she supported protections for people of faith from discrimination, she remained concerned the issue would again be caught in a fight over “identity politics, culture wars and moral panics that never really ends well”.
“The Albanese government needs to be very clear from the outset if they are introducing this legislation, what are they trying to achieve? What’s the problem we’re seeking to solve? This would be worthwhile to justify what I would guarantee will be the damage to people on the way through,” she said.
Archer said a clear lesson from the last parliament was that vulnerable Australians, in particular LGBTQ students, were exposed to a protracted, divisive debate.
The debate devolved into a political fight over whether faith schools should retain legal exemptions in the Sex Discrimination Act to discriminate against gay and transgender students and staff, including in employment and enrolment practices. The Morrison government’s proposal to couple its religious protections with a ban on schools expelling gay students, but not trans students, inflamed the debate.
Of the six Liberals who split from the party room in 2022, only Archer, Bragg and MP-turned-NSW senator Dave Sharma remain in parliament after the others lost their seats at the election. Sharma declined to comment.
Bragg said he had written to Dreyfus in 2022 urging Labor to deal with the issue early in their term. “I agree with the religious leaders that the government shouldn’t leave this to the last minute – that’s a recipe for disaster. I do believe there is a strong case for federal protections for people of faith,” Bragg said.
“I don’t want to see any minority group, whether it’s LGBTQ groups or it’s a religious group, damaged as part of this debate. I think that’s very achievable, but Labor has to deliver a constructive, collaborative process.”
After the Coalition’s aborted attempt in 2022, Labor went to the election promising its own religious discrimination and anti-vilification laws to close a gap in the federal law – which already has anti-discrimination acts covering age, race, sex and disability – while also outlawing discrimination at faith-based schools against staff and students based on their gender status and sexual orientation.
Dreyfus received the report from the law reform commission in December and is expected to release it in February, with religious leaders and equality groups hopeful laws will be introduced into parliament before July.
What’s the proposed religious discrimination law about?
Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne Peter Comensoli said he was eager for an exposure draft of Labor’s legislation to be made available in the first half of the year.
“The further delay in the release of the [Australian Law Reform Commission] report until February pushes out the timeline for the government in dealing with the Religious Discrimination Bill. This raises the risk of pushing the bill into the election cycle, which would be most unfortunate, and should be actively avoided,” Comensoli said.
Anglican bishop of South Sydney Michael Stead insisted that no Anglican schools wanted the right to discriminate against LGBTQ students – a view echoed by other faith groups – and said he expected the sticking point this time around for religious institutions would be securing their rights to preference staff who reflected the school’s religious ethos in hiring practices.
“The last thing that any of the communities want is for this to still be an election issue next time around. I’m really hopeful that it can be done in this calendar year,” Stead said.
Equality Australia chief executive Anna Brown said after years of failed attempts to change the law it was vital the Albanese government did not delay these reforms any longer.
“Students should be able to go to school and be supported to learn and grow as who they are, and teachers should not fear losing their jobs because their sexuality or gender, or because they support a student who is gay or trans,” Brown said.
“We urge all MPs to deal with this issue in a measured and respectful way to spare LGBTIQ+ communities, particularly young people, the distressful and hurtful debate that took place when this issue was last before federal parliament.”
