Trouble has followed Sara Catherine Jones since she married into the Biden family almost three decades ago. Not long after her 1995 wedding to Jim Biden, she took a job with one of his brother Joe’s Senate donors, who later accused her of “fraud” and “unjust enrichment,” according to court records reviewed by RealClearInvestigations. In the years since, she and her husband have been accused of reneging on debts and failing to pay their taxes, court and property records show. Like their nephew, first son Hunter Biden, they have reportedly…

‘Only the Beginning’: Lawsuits From Detransitioners Are on Rise

from, Only, rise, lawsuits, beginning, Detransitioners0 comment

As the number of people who have chosen to detransition out of a transgender identity continues to grow, a parallel increase in lawsuits filed by detransitioners against gender clinics and medical professionals is also occurring. In November of last year, 18-year-old Chloe Cole became the first detransitioner to file a medical malpractice suit against Kaiser Permanente as well as the doctors who advised her to undergo gender transition procedures and performed them over a five-year period beginning when she was 13. The lawsuit noted that as a result of undergoing “puberty blockers, off-label cross-sex hormone…

Sandra Day O’Connor Shattered Glass Ceilings. And She Inspired Lawyers Like Me.

Ceilings., Lawyers, like, inspired, O'Connor, Glass, Sandra, Shattered0 comment

For me, and for generations of female lawyers like me, Sandra Day O’Connor inspired our entrance into the legal field. The service of O’Connor, the first female justice ever to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court, made possible the subsequent appointment of the five female Supreme Court justices to serve after her. I mourn her passing not because of her jurisprudence. Rather, I mourn who she was as a trailblazer and what her service at the Court did for women in a field to which I had long aspired. O’Connor…

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…
