Before the exponential rise in girls identifying as trans there was a drastic increase in girls’ breast augmentations and labiaplasties. We have long been teaching them bodies=obstacles to who you are. Are we surprised they latched onto gender ideology? simonesler.com/watchcut

#IStandWithAmyHamm Day 1. Thank you for this report, @davidhbrett
Blockbuster free speech case unfolding in Vancouver. Nurse & journalist Amy Hamm @preta_6 is appealing the BC College of Nurses decision to discipline her for saying a man cannot literally become a woman.

Fuck yes. Never stop. #IStandWithAmyHamm
Ah, memories of cross examination. I continued to say “trans identified male” despite their attempts to stop me/compel my speech.

Speaking the truth about biological differences should not be met with the draconian punishment of overzealous, ideologically captured regulators. This case presents a serious opportunity for the BC Supreme Court to push back against the punitive excesses of an out of control activist tribunal. We stand with Amy Hamm and her lawyer, Lisa Bildy. #IStandWithAmyHamm @preta_6 @LDBildy @JCCFCanada @cawsbar @TheRedTentCo theredtentcollective.org/i-s…

The CBC removed a CBC Kids News video on Monday after a Juno News investigation and a wave of criticism online came down on the state broadcaster for platforming unconventionally coloured poppies and their causes during Remembrance Day. junonews.com/p/cbc-takes-dow…

This is an insane take that is completely disassociated with all the data and research comparing these two nations. There is zero evidence to back this insane claim from @MarkJCarney
🚨BREAKING: Carney claims the U.S. is a significantly greater national security threat to Canada than the Chinese Communist Party. “In terms of the security risks for our partnership, they’re much much much less than the security risks, for example, of the United States.”

Replying to @preta_6
@preta_6's court hearing begins today. Her nursing regulator disciplined her for public comments about sex and gender, ordered a one-month licence suspension, and imposed nearly $94,000 in legal costs. Canadians must be free to speak their minds outside work. jccf.ca/court_cases/nurse-fa…

Why Leftists Build a Two-Tier Justice System Nearly two centuries ago, Frédéric Bastiat warned that socialists disguise theft and coercion as compassion, equality, and justice. You're living through what he called “legal plunder.”

Democrats in Texas are already working to undo the bans of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries on kids. A lot of conservatives tried to pretend this issue is done with. Not even close. This will be a fight for decades, and the only way we ultimately win is through mass awareness and education.
A total reversal of the pediatric gender ban in Texas? Elections have consequences. Democrats flipped the Texas governor's office and the House on November 3. On the first day lawmakers could pre-file bills for 2027, Rep. Donna Howard filed HB 126, a sweeping repeal of the state's abortion restrictions. Buried in it is a repeal of SB 14, the 2023 law that bars puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for minors. I have reported extensively about the permanent adverse effects and consequences of this unproven “care” for children. Decisions made at 14 that can't be undone later.. Sweden, Finland and the UK are some of the countries that have pulled back. The first Democratic move in Texas goes the other way. It won't pass the Republican Senate. But the governor-elect said this wasn't her priority, it’s a messaging move. Her own House caucus just told voters that reinstating pediatric gender hormones and surgery is an early priority for Texas Democrats.

Wut.
Wab Kinew evades questions about alleged bribery by deflecting to Jeffrey Epstein. Also Jeffrey Epstein in French. I can’t believe that this all happened in ONE question period it’s not even a collective montage 😂

In 2026, CBC Kids News is still promoting the white poppy by giving it positive coverage and omitting the fact that it's widely considered offensive. As for the purple poppy, which seems to be a fringe movement unworthy of national broadcaster coverage, CBC Kids reports that it's an appropriate way to recognize animals in war service. The red poppy represents war dogs just fine, along with all other veterans. What is this publication even doing, drawing children into these fringe Remembrance Day culture wars? Obscene, really.
Here is a CBC Kids broadcast segment originally published in 2021, promoting different coloured poppies during Remembrance Day because “some feel that the red poppy focuses too much on soldiers and can be perceived as glorifying war.” The segment highlights the white poppy for civilians, a black poppy for African, Caribbean and Pacific Island communities, a purple poppy for animals and a rainbow poppy for “contributions the LGBTQ community has made to war efforts.”

Harry Sisson tells a father who pushes back on his child’s trans identity that his parenting is “pretty f*cked up.” Then the father brings up puberty blockers, and the lecture ends fast. SISSON: “Why don’t you just love and support them?” FATHER: “You can’t love and support a lie.” SISSON: “Yeah, I feel like that’s pretty f*cked up for your kid.” Then the father flips the script. FATHER: “You’re okay with a child at 12 years old getting puberty blockers?” SISSON: “Puberty blockers have been in use for children for a long time.” FATHER: “Do you know what the original puberty blockers were used for?” SISSON: “For early onset puberty.” FATHER: “Pedophiles in the state penitentiary to chemically CASTRATE them.” Sisson keeps defending the drugs. The father keeps pressing. FATHER: “Irreversible damage.” SISSON: “No, it’s not irreversible.” FATHER: “Bone loss. Seizures...” SISSON: “It’s not irreversible. But anyway, I don’t want to, I DON’T WANT TO get into a conversation about trans.” He was happy to lecture a father on how to love his son. But the moment he had to defend his own views, the conversation was over. CONTEXT: The father says his 8-year-old son identifies as “trans,” which the mother accepts. He does not. Leuprolide, sold as Lupron, was first approved in 1985 for prostate cancer and in 1993 for “precocious puberty” in children. It is also used off-label to chemically castrate sex offenders, just as the father said.

This guy has next level situational awareness when it comes to modern war fighting. The upgrade he’s describing will create exponential improvements. The impeachment Massie & co are conjuring will be like a fart in the wind in the face of what @SecWar is building.
.@SECWAR “At my direction, I am announcing 33 new directives—a COMPLETE OVERHAUL to reform our Department of War Senior Service Colleges. To forge leaders of unmatched competence, sound moral judgment, and resolute warrior ethos. That memo and those 33 directives will be arriving in your inbox today.”

It's quite ironic that trans activists accuse people like me of "conversion therapy" when sex change procedures literally began as an attempt at a "cure" for homosexuality. It's downright Orwellian. @TamaraSearsUK breaks down 100 years of history in my latest episode.

Dear Dave Chappelle, You are not the same human being you once were. You are no longer a champion of compassionate freedom of thought, a person who makes people question their prejudices and preconceived judgements. An entertainer who asks their audience to open their minds and hearts more. Dave, you are now a champion of senseless violence who embodies the base ugliness of our body politic. Nobody deserves to die for engaging in conversation. And no one should “feel better” after the violent murder of a husband, a father, a son and a friend. No human being deserves that. I remain your friend and hope that you will come back to your great spirit of generosity and compassion that earned you the love and respect of so many of us. Love, Rob Schneider
“Ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly but…. I feel better.” - Dave Chappelle

Comedian Dave Chappelle said at a show that he felt happy Charlie Kirk was murdered, apparently as a joke that had no punchline but elicited laughter from the NYC audience. It appears he had forgotten how close he had come to dying on stage in similar circumstances. In 2022, Chappelle was tackled onstage by a man carrying a knife hidden in a replica gun. The attacker was stopped before he could wound or kill Chappelle. Isaiah Lee later admitted he was motivated by anger over Chappelle’s jokes about trans people. Kirk’s accused killer allegedly expressed similar anger over Kirk’s views to his trans lover. The one who survived went on to express pleasure at the other man’s assassination.

The damage done by the “Climate change” policies that were a direct result of these alleged scientific discoveries is incalculable. There are future generations that are going to suffer because of these policies! There should absolutely be a reckoning.
The UN has publicly announced that climate change never existed!! Solar power generation was just about vested interests. All man-made!! That's the whole story!!! 🐸

I wish people better understood the importance of warfare & how distinct it is from everyday life. It’s inspiring to see a secretary of war disseminating these ideas so articulately. Meanwhile, in Canada, we haven’t even established the cognitive domain as a theatre of war 🤦‍♂️
🚨 HOLY CRAP! SecWar Pete Hegseth just exposed elite academics to their FACE at the Naval War College — he found out they're trying to OUT-WAIT Trump's time in office to avoid complying with executive orders 🤯 "They think they can IGNORE executive orders and preserve FALSE and SINISTER progressive frameworks until the political winds shift!" "Our review identified a stubborn undercurrent of passive-aggressive institutional resistance. There are those who believe that they can HIDE behind civilian academic tenure and regional accreditation mandates to wait out President Trump's term in office." "Toxic and destructive ideas, ideas that corrupted our universities have little by little crept into our war colleges." "The reforms that I'm directing today are designed to reinforce military education, focus on winning our nation's wars, and reinforcing each person's oath to our Constitution, NOT to adopt ideas that perpetuate, that are anathema to the Western tradition." 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 And THAT folks is why they keep trying to impeach him. @PeteHegseth said it without apology: he's not going to let it fly. I am so glad he's still our SecWar.

1/ What’s most tragic about Dave Chappelle’s Charlie Kirk content is not that it’s a cruel, extreme-leftist rant. It’s that someone who was revered for his ability to think freely has seemingly lost that ability.

He has always been funny because he possessed the natural ability to cut through bullshit. And now here he is, drowning in it, regurgitating a narrative designed to spin this clip into divisive propaganda.

4/ It’s tragic to lose such a powerful free thinker in an era of history in which a comedian with this ability can destroy billion dollar narratives with a single joke. Chappelle is now feeding that machine rather than fighting it. Sad.
