In McCarthy Negotiations, GOP Landed On ‘Most Significant Win For Conservatives In A Decade’

• Life expectancy in the United States is at its lowest level since 1996. 
• Teen suicide rates spiked nearly 30 percent in the last decade. 
• Though drug overdose deaths declined from a record high in 2021, they remain 50 percent higher than just five years ago. 
• In the second quarter of 2022, the majority of workers lost a median 8.5 percent in real wages — a 25-year high. 
• 
  Marriage and fertility rates are falling.
• A heightened nuclear threat looms amidst the invasion of Ukraine. 
• In the last fiscal year, the government recorded 2.76 million illegal crossings at our southern border, as tens of thousands of desperate people stream into the country every month, trafficked by cartels. 
• American happiness is at a record low. 
• So is institutional trust.

...“It’s the most significant win for conservatives in a decade, possibly the biggest in a generation,” a senior congressional aide told The Federalist on Sunday. 

“The rules package, if adopted, will actually impact policy outcomes by forcing a transparent and open process.”...

Girls feel unsafe using school restrooms after district quietly implements trans policy, 100 local clergy members and parents allege - TheBlaze

Girls feel unsafe using school restrooms after district quietly implements trans policy, 100 local clergy members and parents allege - TheBlaze: 

Concerned parents and a group of 100 local clergy members alleged that an Ohio school district quietly implemented a controversial transgender restroom policy without notifying parents — and since then, female students have felt unsafe using the facilities.

Parents with children at Shelby City Schools noted that they were unsure when the restroom policy changed because there was no public notification. Parents only know that, at some point, the district began allowing students to use restrooms that correspond to their preferred gender identities.

When democrats rule, the rules are not their concern.

The event was about transgenderism and shared a name with his “What is a Woman” movie.

• ...Students, staff and professors were left “angry,” “hurt” and “physically sick” at the thought of him coming to campus, based on complaints primarily filed before the event.

This fad is destroying our children!-----Why are so many children declaring war on their own bodies?

Why are so many children declaring war on their own bodies?

• Society’s collective denial of womanhood and manhood and of biological reality itself has created a vacuum of meaning where gender ideology can easily flourish.

"...There is an increasing number of children – predominantly girls – who identify as transgender, i.e. their self-perception does not correspond to their biological sex. 

They feel “born in the wrong body” and see their salvation in “correcting” it: 

Puberty blockers and hormone therapies as well as, in case of girls, breast binders and even mastectomies are supposed to help them adjust their bodies to their self-perception. 

The last step are sex reassignment surgeries, or so-called bottom surgeries, either vaginoplasty for boys or phalloplasty for girls.

• The number of “trans children” has seen a dramatic rise worldwide over the last years: In England, the number of children suffering from so-called gender dysphoria has increased from 250 to over 5000 between the years 2011 and 2021. That is a twentyfold increase in only ten years. According to a study done in the US, the number of 13- to 17-year-olds who identify as transgender has doubled from 150000 in 2017 to 300000 in 2020. Between 2008 and 2018, Sweden registered a 1500 percent increase of gender dysphoria diagnoses among girls.

But why are so many children declaring war on their own bodies?...

Why did Facebook reject The Spectator’s Joe Biden cover?

"Earlier this week, I was asked to list the three biggest threats to the media. 

Aside from the general sales decline of newspapers, I said, the threat of bot censorship – and the lack of accountability from the firms who apply it. 

We at The Spectator have just come across a classic example of this, when Facebook refused to publish this week’s cover satirising Joe Biden when we submitted it as an advert...

So we appealed. 

An email came back saying:

You asked for another review of your rejected ads. After another review, it’s been determined that they still don’t comply with our Advertising Policies...

GOP Rep. Perry: 'Pelosi Ran Congress Like a Prison Camp with No Accountability'

GOP Rep. Perry: 'Pelosi Ran Congress Like a Prison Camp with No Accountability': 

Representative Scott Perry (R-PA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) ran Congress “like a prison camp with no accountability.”

Partial transcript as follows:

PERRY: Let me start with this. Frederick Douglas, who knew something about power, said, power concedes nothing without a demand. Never has and never will. This was never about Kevin McCarthy. This is about power for the American people. And with all due respect, Nancy Pelosi ran Congress like a prison camp with no accountability. You know, the American people are very, very tired of this gang of seven, gang of eight, literally seven or eight people, or just a few people in Washington, D.C., running all of the policy for the American people.

Never trust the government. NEVER!-----The Myth of American Inequality | RealClearPolitics

The Myth of American Inequality | RealClearPolitics - By J. Peder Zane  

• The federal government significantly and intentionally misreports income distribution, sparking bad policies and political divisions.

"That’s the argument former senator Phil Gramm and two other economists, Robert Ekelund and John Early, lay out in their compelling and essential new book, “The Myth of American Inequality: How Government Biases Policy Debate.”
...one key observation: 

• While the U.S. Census Bureau reports that the average income of the top 20% of American households that year was 16.7 times greater than the average income of the bottom 20% of households, the real number, they argue, is 4.1 times. 
• This massive discrepancy is explained by a straightforward accounting trick: The Bureau didn’t count two-thirds of the $2.8 trillion in transfer payments given mostly to the poor and working class or the $4.4 trillion taken through federal, state, and local taxes, “82% of which are paid by the top 40% of household earners.”
• The net result, they report, “is that, in total, the Census Bureau chooses not to count the impact of more than 40% of all income, which is gained in transfer payments or lost in taxes.”

...In a sign of the times, their book, which was published in September, has been ignored by the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, CNN and most every other liberal news outlet...

• We are $31 trillion in collective debt.

• The military is politicized and short of recruits. 
• We trade lethal terrorists for woke celebrity athletes as if to confirm our enemies’ cynical stereotypes.
• Our FBI is corrupt and discredited, collaborating with Silicon Valley contractors to suppress free speech and warp elections. 
  
• We practice segregation and racial discrimination and claim we do not because the right and good people support it and, anyway, the victims deserve it. 
• The country has seen defeat before but never abject, deliberate humiliation as in Kabul, when we fled and abandoned to the terrorist Taliban a $1 billion embassy, a huge, remodeled air base, thousands of friends, and tens of billions of dollars in military hardware—and hard-earned deterrence.
• We are witnessing the breakdown of basic norms essential for civilized life, from affordable food and fuel to available key antibiotics and baby formula...
