By Chris Rufo: I spoke to a person from Honduras in San Francisco who identified as a transgender. He referred to the state health-care program, which provides “full scope” coverage to illegal aliens, which includes transgender procedures. He said he was receiving cross-sex hormone therapy—and bore the physical signs of having done so.

Illegal Aliens Seek “Free” Sex Changes in California

Word has apparently traveled down the continent to the transgender communities in Mexico, Honduras, and elsewhere: If you make it all the way to California, the government will pay for your shelter, hormones, and surgeries — no questions asked.

Days after Jimmy Kimmel drew a penis on his forehead to celebrate Ash Wednesday, he's morally outraged over Trump's feud with the pope.

Pope Leo vs Trump

source: American Thinker

Observers decry Trump’s lack of respect for the papacy. Diversionary tripe. Trump didn’t comment on the office. He gave his trademark dressing down of an opponent. The object was Leo’s stances, which clearly dovetail with Western European elites’ politics.

The final chapter in this war has yet to be written.

The “I’m Done with Trump” Mirage

source: SteveGruber.com

With this crowd, it’s always something. This time, it’s the illusion of a massive “I’m done with Trump” wave. In reality? It’s less a real movement and more a mirage – an Anti-MAGA Mirage dressed up to look bigger than it really is.

Trump’s Not Wrong on the European Nations

Europe wants stability—but doesn’t want to enforce it. Europe wants secure energy—but doesn’t want to defend it. Europe wants America to lead—but complains the entire time it’s happening.

Jewish Comics No Longer Safe in Hollywood

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Trump doubles down on religious imagery this morning.  He just reposted on Truth Social what is presumably an AI-created image of Jesus Christ with his arm draped around Trump’s shoulder.  A partial image of the American flag dominates the background. Trump wrote, “The Radical Left Lunatics might not like this, but I think it is quite nice!!!” Of course he thinks it’s nice. The depiction of him makes Trump look at least 30 pounds lighter and 15 years younger...The Swalwell Watch: The media monitors at NewsBusters had a busy week tabulating all the media appearances that Dem ex-congressman Eric Swalwell made on CNN and MS NOW From January 1 through April, 10.

The Pope’s Stance on Iran War Is Shocking and Ignores Tehran’s Evil

source: NY Post

Presenting this as a war of unjustified aggression is nothing less than moral inversion. The Pope has chosen to ignore the mass shedding of innocent blood by the Iranian regime, which earlier this year murdered around 40,000 innocent protesters and has spent the past 47 years waging war on America and the West through terrorist atrocities.
