FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL: Some media outlets have come under fire in recent years for buying into activists’ framing and talking points on so-called gender-affirming care, attempted transgender sex-change operations, hormonal interventions, and social affirmations, even for minors. Emails obtained by the organization Do No Harm, which combats gender ideology in the medical profession, provide a look at how that type of story is crafted. The organization obtained a June 15 exchange between Capital Times reporter Erin McGroarty, who specializes in “investigating disinformation” for the newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin,…

Lack of ‘Affirmation’ Is Child Abuse: New Biden Rule Applies Transgender Standard to Foster Care

Transgender orthodoxy may soon become a litmus test for parenthood, according to the logic of a new policy working its way through the Department of Health and Human Services under President Joe Biden. A new rule in HHS’ Administration for Children and Families would apply the idea that any lack of “affirmation” constitutes a form of child abuse to foster care placements. Once that idea takes root in foster care, child protective services agencies might start applying it more broadly. The rule would reinterpret the Social Security Act, which requires…

When Inequality Is Fatal for Men

Inequality, fatal0 comment

Equality always has been an American preoccupation, right from the words “all men are created equal” in the Declaration of Independence. Yet even that phrase is not egalitarian enough by today’s lights; feminists long have objected to the gendered language of “all men.” Thomas Jefferson didn’t mean to commit a microaggression; in 1776, “all men” meant women, too. We know this because the Founding Fathers—must we say Founding Parents?—argued about the mismatch between their universal philosophy and the endemic inequalities of their time, with Abigail Adams asking her husband John…

How Thatcher Would Have Crushed Hateful Pro-Palestinian Protesters in UK

would, Protesters, Thatcher, hateful, ProPalestinian, Crushed0 comment

Margaret Thatcher hated terrorism in all its forms, whether it was carried out by the Irish Republican Army, al-Qaeda, or state-sponsored. The Iron Lady famously survived an IRA assassination attempt in Brighton, England, in 1984 and was a fearless adversary of terrorist movements across the world.  I worked for Thatcher in her private office in Belgravia during the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001. As an aide to the former prime minister, assisting her with her final book, “Statecraft,” I delivered the news to her that the north tower…

Democrats’ evolving defense of President Joe Biden and his family’s business activities speaks volumes about where the congressional investigation that is now an impeachment inquiry is going, says Rep.

It’s going to refute their position all the way to the point of legitimate articles…
