Not a single female Democratic senator showed up at yesterday’s hearing in which female athletes explained—again—why men do not belong in women’s sports. The Democrats simply boycotted the room. You cannot erase sex by skipping the hearing. Women will not be pushed off competition so that men can take their medals, scholarships, and locker rooms. Women’s sports are for women. In 2026 we still cannot get bipartisan agreement on such a common sense issue? #savewomenssports

Your silence isn’t neutral @TheDemocrats.

Worth a listen, particularly if you are in Texas as Dr Ho has the ear of many legislators. She nails it on hospitals driving the cost in today’s system but I think we need to look upstream Why did hospitals consolidate? Well of course some of the reason was money, but what were the driving factors? The number one factor was a quickly consolidating insurance industry. Hospitals learned that you either consolidated or were run over by insurers when it came time to negotiate your contract Doctors didn’t figure that out until it was too late. We were the last ones to find out and now have been forced to give up our practices to hospitals or insurers as we can’t expand and grow fast enough to keep up with their growth and the constant downward pressure on physician income from the government and insurers. A “reset” will require not only addressing hospitals, but also insurers. While consolidated insurance historically lead to lower prices, the downstream effects are devastating and today’s insurers are so big that they would be corrupted by their absolute power if the government were to limit hospitals and doctors from similarly consolidating. We have a lot of work ahead of us to fix the mistakes of a generation of legislators and regulators who turned over healthcare to corporate interests.
When hospitals control everything who wins? My conversation with Dr. Vivian Ho, a healthcare economist, says the data is very clear about the answer. This is a podcast that you must listen to if you are interested in understanding the cost of healthcare.

Washington’s College Aid Question Why are we paying for this especially when the state is broke? Washington doesn’t publish an exact count of college students by immigration status. But the state’s own Student Achievement Council provides some revealing numbers. In 2023–24, 3,067 students who filed the WASFA received the Washington College Grant. WASFA is used by students who cannot or choose not to file the federal FAFSA, including undocumented students who generally aren’t eligible for federal financial aid. Washington’s residency rules also allow qualifying undocumented students to receive in-state tuition and state financial aid, provided they meet the applicable residency and program requirements. The broader question deserves an honest public debate: Why are Washington taxpayers funding state college grants for students who are ineligible for federal aid, while families who follow the rules can still struggle to pay the full cost of sending their own kids to college? If Washington wants to make college more affordable, shouldn’t taxpayers also be asking whether the same assistance should be available to every Washington family based on the same rules? This isn’t about whether these students should pursue an education. It’s about who pays, who qualifies, and whether taxpayers believe the system is fair.

Gavin Newsom finally admits closing beaches during COVID was “insane,” and Bill Maher says he should have figured that out WHEN IT MATTERED! He adds Newsom's COVID rules were the exact OPPOSITE of what should have been done. Closing beaches was just the start: • Banned singing at church • Banned indoor church services until the Supreme Court stepped in • Shut down Bible studies in private homes until the Supreme Court blocked it • Rammed through the country's first COVID vaccine mandates for kids • Told diners to keep their masks on “in between bites” • Signed a law letting the state punish doctors for COVID “misinformation” • Dined at the French Laundry while telling Californians to stay home • Sent his own kids back to in-person private school while public schools stayed closed Gavin forced COVID hell on everyone, got “The Science” all wrong, and didn’t even follow his own rules… “Insane” in hindsight doesn’t quite cover it.

Shame on you. Bhargouti was convicted of murdering five innocent people, including a mother of two and a Greek Orthodox monk. He is a terrorist who celebrated the October 7 attacks and encouraged similar attacks in the West Bank/Judea Samaria. What is wrong with you?
I am calling for the release of Marwan Bhargouti from Israeli prison.

Not sure what you mean by America’s space program being above politics. Leadership has been politically appointed since inception, national space policy is established by the executive branch, oversight and funding come from Congress, and industry lobbies everyone extensively. I would say it has always been very political, and if you love America’s space program, being politically savvy is an asset. I have also donated $30 million to charity this year, which is also not illegal.

Do not look away. Before President Trump took office, our nation’s sovereignty was threatened by unrestrained Third World mass migration. Now, after sixteen months of zero releases at the border, the world knows: America will never be a dumping ground for their criminals.

🚨 The chief kiddie cutter in America has QUIETLY closed her latest clinic to mutilate vulnerable, wrong-sex-confused children. Johanna Olson-Kennedy — longtime medical director of the now-shuttered Transyouth Clinic at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and one of the most prominent pediatric gender doctors in the country — resurfaced at Prosilio Care after CHLA closed its program. Now Prosilio is shutting down entirely, effective October 1 or sooner. This matters. Pediatric gender clinics are closing. Hospitals are backing away. Lawsuits, federal scrutiny, malpractice concerns, and growing questions about the evidence behind these irreversible interventions are changing the landscape. Children struggling with their sex deserve compassion, truth, and real mental-health support — not puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones, or healthy body parts chopped off. Another clinic CLOSED. Another win for vulnerable children. 👏🏼
Amazing news! One of the world’s most influential gender doctors who has harmed thousands of children — first at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles before it was forced to close, then at a private facility — is shutting down her new gender clinic! billboardchris.com/news/2026…

Abigail Spanberger’s parole board is considering releasing the infamous Ocean View rapist who received a life sentence for terrorizing women in Norfolk & Va Beach. Here is a quote from a victim: “A piece of me died that day. There's a piece of me I will never get back.” “If he gets out of prison, I firmly believe, and I'm not the only one that thinks that, that he will rape again,” she said. Call the Va Parole Board and tell them NO to releasing Anthony McGaha 804-674-3081
🚨New: One of the most infamous criminals in modern Virginia history could soon be released from prison, even though a state investigation found the rapist should not be eligible for parole. One of the man’s victims told me she’s terrified Gov. Abigail Spanberger's new parole board will let him out, even though he was sentenced to over two hundred years in prison. In the late 1980s, the serial rapist terrorized multiple women in Hampton Roads. Anthony McGaha was dubbed the “Ocean View Rapist.” McGaha was convicted of breaking into the homes of six different women and raping them. To the shock of his surviving victims, he has a parole hearing next week and he could be released. “It was four in the morning and I was sleeping,” one of the victims told me. “Safe and sound in my home, and I was woken up by someone on top of me with a knife to my throat.” “And your child was in the other room?” Minock asked. “Yes,” she replied. “A piece of me died that day. There's a piece of me I will never get back.” “If he gets out of prison, I firmly believe, and I'm not the only one that thinks that, that he will rape again,” she said. Former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares sent a letter to the parole board urging them not to release McGaha. “The record on McGaha's dangerousness and lack of remorse could not be clearer,” said Miyares. “He told investigators he 'wasn't raping' his victims; he was 'making love to them,' while separately admitting he did not have their consent. At sentencing, Judge Robert W. Stewart specifically noted McGaha's utter lack of remorse and his belief that he was 'invincible.' That combination of predatory calculation, total absence of empathy, and a self-image of invincibility is precisely the profile of an offender who remains a threat to public safety today, regardless of his age or time served.” A WJLA investigation found Spanberger’s parole board is approving significantly more parole requests than former Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s parole board

The WA State Auditor’s office reported over $1.3 BILLION in ‘unauditable’ childcare spending over the past 5 years. And now Bob Ferguson is like ‘hey sure let’s throw another couple hundred million into the big mystery pot!’ Taxpayers all over the country should demand answers.
The same day I exposed a massive MILLION-plus dollar alleged Somali daycare fraud scheme, Washington state Gov. Bob Ferguson announced a new $251 MILLION in funding for daycares. This, after the state can’t account for over $430 million in taxpayer funds that have been distributed to daycares. thepostmillennial.com/wa-gov…
