Former trans kid shares agony of side effects from 'mutilating' medical transition: 'I've gotten no help' | Fox News: 

A former transgender kid who detransitioned after having a double mastectomy told Fox News Digital that she was worried about living with the painful side effects of the "gender-affirming" medical interventions for the rest of her life.

"I've lost all my trust in my health care provider and possibly even health care," she said.

'That's why': Biden can't hide his annoyance when reporter confronts him about taking blame for inflation crisis - TheBlaze

'That's why': Biden can't hide his annoyance when reporter confronts him about taking blame for inflation crisis - TheBlaze: 

The narrative may be convenient for Biden, but it's simply not true. When Biden took office in January 2021, inflation registered between 1.4% to 1.7%, below the Federal Reserve's target rate of 2%. Inflation began increasing in March 2021, ironically the same month that Biden signed his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 economic stimulus into law. Inflation peaked in June 2022 at 9.1%, a rate not seen in more than 40 years.

• "...What's the background?

The vicious beatdown was caught on video last Thursday at Heritage High School in Conyers, the Rockdale Citizen reported.

• One video shows a female student hollering in a female teacher's face inside a classroom: “I don’t give a f*** if you’re an adult or not! You’re not gonna talk to me like that, you dumbass bitch!”

...A second video shot from an opposite angle across the hallway shows the teacher and student grappling and then tumbling upon the hallway floor. 

The student quickly gets on top of the teacher and repeatedly hits her until she's pulled away....

"Fake but true"?-----Much of value here!-----The press versus the president, part one - Columbia Journalism Review

The press versus the president, part one - Columbia Journalism Review - By Jeff

• “I realized early on I had two jobs,” he (Trump) said. “The first was to run the country, and the second was survival. I had to survive: the stories were unbelievably fake.”

The end of the long inquiry into whether Donald Trump was colluding with Russia came in July 2019, when Robert Mueller III, the special counsel, took seven, sometimes painful, hours to essentially say no.
“Holy shit, Bob Mueller is not going to do it,” is how Dean Baquet, then the executive editor of the New York Times, described the moment his paper’s readers realized Mueller was not going to pursue Trump’s ouster.
Baquet, speaking to his colleagues in a town hall meeting soon after the testimony concluded, acknowledged the Times had been caught “a little tiny bit flat-footed” by the outcome of Mueller’s investigation.
That would prove to be more than an understatement. 

• But neither Baquet nor his successor, nor any of the paper’s reporters, would offer anything like a postmortem of the paper’s Trump-Russia saga, unlike the examination the Times did of its coverage before the Iraq War.
• In fact, Baquet added, “I think we covered that story better than anyone else” and had the prizes to prove it, according to a tape of the event published by Slate...

China Threatens Repercussions for Downed Spy Balloon, Reserves ‘the Right to Take Further Actions in Response’

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military on Saturday shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon off the Carolina coast after it traversed sensitive military sites across North America.
China insisted the flyover was an accident involving a civilian aircraft and threatened repercussions.
...China responded that it reserved the right to “take further actions” and criticized the U.S. for “an obvious overreaction and a serious violation of international practice.”

• ...“Allowing a spy balloon from the Communist Party of China to travel across the entire continental United States before contesting its presence is a disastrous projection of weakness by the White House,” said Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
• ...Uncensored reactions on the Chinese internet mirrored the official government stance that the U.S. was hyping the situation. Some used it as a chance to poke fun at U.S. defenses, saying it couldn’t even defend against a balloon, and nationalist influencers leaped to use the news to mock the U.S...

Covid-style economic reports!----------January's 'too good to be true' jobs report was based on 'adjustments' - American Thinker

January's 'too good to be true' jobs report was based on 'adjustments' - American Thinker - By Thomas Lifson

"Bloomberg...is throwing shade on the January jobs report that “surprised” a lot of people with its positive numbers...Stripped of all the technical jargon is this stark reality:

On an unadjusted basis, payrolls actually fell by 2.5 million last month.

 Molly Smith writes:

Employers added 517,000 jobs in January — nearly double the prior month’s advance and above all estimates in a Bloomberg survey...according to Labor Department data released Friday.

Those are the numbers that grabbed headlines and enabled Team Biden to claim credit for what they want to bamboozle the public into thinking we have a great economy.  

But it turns out that there were changes in the way the data were gathered and reported that made things look rosier..

What Bloomberg Economics Says...“If it seems too good to be true, that’s because it is too good to be true — the gain is mostly due to seasonal factors and revisions to past data..

'The Five' Continues to Not Only Make History but Dominate It - Earns No. 1 Show for Tenth Month Straight

'The Five' Continues to Not Only Make History but Dominate It - Earns No. 1 Show for Tenth Month Straight: 

As it turns out, when cable news programs don’t push progressive, woke nonsense on their viewers and, instead, stick to the issues that matter, they tend to be rewarded.

A prime example of that would be Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” which has absolutely scorched any of its closest competitors and has even notched impressive internal victories against the cable news giant’s powerhouse lineup of primetime talent.

Kicking off the new year in winning fashion, Fox News reported that “The Five” averaged an astonishing 3.4 million viewers in January, which means it has been the number one show on cable news television for the 10th consecutive month.

Never trust 'em, NEVER!-----Media manipulation before your eyes

Media manipulation before your eyes
"We all know the media are trash...

• One such hoax is the media frenzy about a questionnaire given to female athletes in Florida. 
• The media and the Left have been playing it up as some horrible transphobic invasion of privacy intended to pry into the private lives of young girls to root out fakers.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

There was a total freakout on Twitter when someone revealed a “secret” and new form for female athletes that asked them about their menstrual cycle. It was portrayed as a dystopian invasion of privacy intended to usher us into a new era of sharia law or something.

It turns out to be standard practice, because such information is necessary to ensure the health and safety of teenage athletes. Don’t ask me why. Not my area...

AM Fruitcake--It's always something!

David Harsanyi: GOP Right to Deny Ilhan Omar a Committee Seat | The Patriot Post

• ....She should have lost it for downplaying 9/11 and equating the United States with theocratic terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Taliban. 
• She is neither ideologically nor morally prepared for the job. 
• She was denied a seat because Nancy Pelosi created a new precedent by not only denying Kevin McCarthy his choices for the Jan. 6 committee, effectively creating a show trial, but 
• also stripping Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene of their committee appointments over ugly things they said. Republicans should unseat Omar using her standards.
• When Democrats introduced a resolution to strip Lauren Boebert of all House committee assignments over a stupid bigoted joke about Omar, ...Omar then told CNN’s Jake Tapper that “we should punish and sanction Boebert by stripping her of her committees, by rebuking her language, by doing everything that we can to send a clear and decisive message to the American public that, if the Republicans are not going to be adults and condone — condemn this, that we are going to do that.”...
