More than 200 U.S. hospitals, healthcare facilities perform irreversible transgender procedures on CHILDREN

 Election Day is fast approaching and one of the left's claims about childhood transgenderism is getting debunked as the truth comes out about the prevalence of youth body butchery at U.S. hospitals and healthcare facilities.

The latest figures show that more than 200 hospitals and healthcare facilities across the United States offer irreversible transgender procedures to underage kids, defying the leftist claim that minors are not being experimented on by the LGBT body butchers.

The Do No Harm medical nonprofit watchdog group launched a database this week that tracks which hospitals and healthcare facilities offer sex-change surgeries, hormone therapies, and puberty blockers to children. As of this writing, there are 225 facilities on the list.

Do No Harm did the heavy lifting of putting together the database by pairing gender-related transition codes within the medical system to gender-related procedures and prescription codes at the various facilities.

"The database provides conclusive proof that these interventions are happening on children across the country, both hormonal interventions and surgeries," commented Beth Serio, a registered nurse who works as Do No Harm's external relations manager.

"We used bulletproof data from insurance claims databases to show that these procedures have been done on children."

 

Between 2019 and 2023, the bodies of 14,000 American children were butchered by LGBT industry

After analyzing thousands of insurance claims at hospitals and pediatric facilities across the country, Do No Harm learned that a shocking 14,000 American children had their bodies butchered by the LGBT industry between 2019 and 2023.

"It's a common lie in the trans industry in America that these procedures are very highly reversible, that there's no long-term effects," Serio added about the mass deception that influenced these children to destroy their bodies.

"We know that's simply not the case, especially for children who are taking the hormones for a longer period of time. Some of them can have a sterilizing effect on children, especially when taken for a lengthy period of time."

Of those 14,000 children catalogued, nearly 6,000 of them underwent extreme transgender surgeries while 8,579 were given hormone drugs and puberty blockers that damage the endocrine system, potentially for life.

"We only included data that we could stand behind 100 percent, based on [Do No Harm's] analysis of insurance claims data," Serio further explained about how her group put together the database.

"We cannot account for things such as cash or self-pay patients, or a couple of insurance companies who don't report to these databases. As staggering as these numbers are, we're pretty confident that there are even more children that have been impacted by these barbaric treatments."

Transgender body butchery seems to be a rich people thing, especially when it involves children. American families spent more than $119 million during that same timeframe to "transition" their children into LGBT abominations.

At the top of the list for worst-offending facilities is the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, also known as CHOP – the infamous vaccine pusher Paul Offit is an attending physician at CHOP's Division of Infectious Disease, by the way.

CHOP saw 122 child sex-change patients during those years. Five of the children underwent extreme surgeries while 117 are taking hormone-replacement regimens and puberty blockers to try to become another gender.

All in all, CHOP wrote 768 "gender-affirming care" prescriptions during that timeframe, all of which totaled nearly $231,000 in submitted charges that ultimately benefit Big Pharma and the sickness-for-profit industry.

Hurricane Helene homeowners with insurance likely to be DENIED payouts: “Insurers have become significantly tougher on hurricane claims”

 The people of Appalachia whose properties were destroyed by Hurricane Helene are in for a surprise as their property insurance likely does not cover damage caused by hurricanes.

For a while now, property insurers have been quietly hollowing out coverage while jacking up rates to overcome the steep underwriting losses they have incurred in recent years due to other natural disasters. Because of this, there are major shocks coming for many of the claimants who are rushing to try to get a payout from Helene.

"Insurers have become significantly tougher on hurricane claims," says Rick Tutwiler, a claims adjuster for property owners who is based out of Tampa, Fla. "We've moved to an era dominated by exclusions, diminishing coverages, and even harsher policy terms."

 

Is property insurance even worth it anymore?

While property damage from Helene is estimated to be as high as $26 billion, according to Moody's, the insured loss is expected to be a whole lot less at somewhere between $5 billion and $15 billion, warns John Neal, chief executive of the Lloyd's of London insurance marketplace.

The reason for this massive gap is because most home insurance policies do not cover flooding and the vast majority of policyholders do not have separate flood insurance. Another reason for the shortfall is the increase in coverage restrictions.

In recent years, many property insurance carriers have added higher deductibles for wind damage in areas that are prone to hurricanes. They are also reducing payouts for older roofs; limiting coverage for interior water damage; and adding exclusions for damage caused by wind-driven rain.

"I've had tons of phone calls from people with relatively small losses that are going to fall under the deductible and not be covered," said Meg O'Toole Herman, owner of a Goosehead Insurance agency in Hilton Head Island, S.C.

While Hilton Head Island, a barrier island, escaped the worst of Helene, it still got hit by heavy winds that caused noteworthy damage throughout the area.

"We've got tree limbs poked into roofs, cars with trees on them, and boats battered around harbors sinking or missing," Herman added.

In most cases, the damage caused by Helene to people's yards and houses will be less than each property's deductible for wind losses, Herman confirmed. In 2021, most policy deductibles were around two percent but now they are as high as five percent, which on a one-million-dollar home would mean the homeowner has to shell out of pocket the first $50,000 in losses.

According to Tom Wilson, chief executive of Allstate, these higher deductibles are necessary to provide customers with "reliable protection in areas prone to catastrophic storms." In other words, a $50,000 deductible is still better than having to shell out of pocket for, say, $150,000 in damages were a home not insured at all.

"The hurricane and storm surge path proved that no one is safe," commented Alexandra Glickman, global head of real estate and hospitality at insurance broker Arthur J. Gallagher.

"It's going to be much more difficult for owners of small businesses and multifamily properties as they rebuild to find insurance that isn't three or four times what they were paying before."

Insurance Information Institute spokesman Mark Friedlander says that fewer than one in 100 households located in the worst-flooded inland counties, i.e., Buncombe County, N.C., where Asheville is, have flood coverage. This means the vast majority of them will have to pay out of pocket in order to rebuild.

Media Hypes Alleged Threats Against FEMA Workers

 A claim from a sheriff’s office in western North Carolina about threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) workers prompted workers in the area to pause their hurricane relief efforts.

The Facebook post came from the Ashe County Sheriff’s Office, saying there had been “threats” against FEMA workers “in the mountain region.” But, the sheriff added, “This has not happened in Ashe County or the surrounding counties.”

“Out of an abundance of caution, they have paused their process as they are assessing the threats,” the sheriff’s office added.

An official with the U.S. Forest Service sent an email to multiple federal agencies warning that National Guard troops “had come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying they were out hunting FEMA.”

Media outlets like The Washington Post and ABC News jumped on the story, with ABC claiming federal authorities told them FEMA employees have been receiving consistent threats since Hurricane Helene.

The original version of the Post’s story stated in the fourth paragraph that “it was unclear whether the quoted threat was seen as credible.” In the next paragraph, the outlet acknowledged that relief personnel were back to work the next day.

 

The Post has now updated its original article to include information about a man being charged with a misdemeanor after someone overheard him allegedly making threats against FEMA workers at a gas station the next county over from where relief workers were. His name and face were plastered across media outlets on Monday.

Legacy media outlets refused to cover or look into allegations that citizens trying to help those in areas affected by the hurricane were threatened with arrest. One of the claims came from pilot Jordan Seidhom, who told several local and non-mainstream outlets that a fire official near Lake Lure, North Carolina, threatened to arrest him if he continued to use his own helicopter to rescue people stranded in the mountains, The Daily Wire previously reported.

Seidhom said he had coordinated his flights with local authorities but was threatened with arrest and returned home – a decision he soon regretted.

“I’m sorry, if I had to do it over again, I would have stopped and I would have rescued as many people until they decided they were going to arrest me,” Seidhom said at the time.

Major outlets ignored Seidhom’s story and others who gave similar accounts.

Team Kamala Angry At Biden For Not Thinking Of Campaign Before Praising DeSantis

 Tensions have grown between members of Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign and the Biden White House just weeks before Election Day.

One of the biggest points of contention between the two camps is President Joe Biden’s praise and discussions with Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis following two major hurricanes, Axios reported. A Harris campaign staffer told the outlet that the “White House is lacking someone in the room thinking first and foremost about how things would affect the campaign.”

The issue stems from early last week when Harris attempted to insert herself into hurricane relief operations by attacking DeSantis for purportedly not taking her phone call. Harris had called DeSantis “utterly irresponsible” and “selfish” even though disaster had just struck Florida and the vice president had no role in disaster relief, The Daily Wire reported at the time.

Shortly after, Biden’s social media team posted on X to say that the president was working with DeSantis.

“Tonight, I spoke with Florida Governor DeSantis and Tampa Mayor Castor for firsthand reports on Hurricane Helene recovery and preparations for Hurricane Milton,” the post said. “My Administration is ready to support both leaders and the people of Florida with any further resources they may need.”

DeSantis also pushed back on Harris’ claims about a phone call, saying he had never received calls from her before and she had never been involved in any of his administration’s disaster response efforts previously. He added that she had “no role” in the process and wasn’t even in the chain of command on the issue.

The day after Biden’s post on X, Harris appeared on “The View” for a softball interview, but Biden decided to appear at a press conference at the same time. During that press conference, Biden discussed his work with DeSantis on hurricane relief efforts.

“The governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he’s gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday, and I said, ‘You’re doing a great job. It’s being all being done. We thank you for it. And I literally gave my personal phone number to call,” Biden said.

During that press conference, Biden also undermined Harris’ campaign message of being a change candidate, saying she was directly connected to all of his policy decisions.

“Well, she’s — I’m in constant contact with her,” Biden said. “She’s aware of where — we all — we’re singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws that are being employed now.”

“She was a major player in everything we’ve done, including passage of legislation, which we were told we could never pass,” he continued. “And so, she’s been — and her — her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we’re doing.”

The tensions between Biden and Harris emerged after Democrats pushed Biden to drop out of his re-election bid and inserted Harris as the nominee in order to keep the campaign cash Biden raised.

Celebrate Christopher Columbus, A Brave Explorer For The Ages

 To hear the Left tell it, Christopher Columbus single-handedly came to the new world to spread racism and disease. 

But anyone with an ounce of historical knowledge knows that’s a complete rewrite of what happened seen through the lens of a purple-haired Gender Studies major. Columbus was a human with flaws, sure. But he wasn’t a supervillain. He was brave (remember, no GPS back then), adventurous, and wise. He was a man’s man. 

Columbus. A man worth celebrating.

Michael Knowles put it best during a speech at California State University in 2021. When a professor at the college tried to repeat the lie that the land Columbus came upon was owned by the native tribes and should therefore revert to them, Knowles asked him to pinpoint which tribes should get the land.

The professor was unable to answer directly. Knowles laid out the contradiction in his reasoning, saying, “The Comanche Indians come in and they conquer areas run by the Apache Indians. Now the United States comes in and it owns that land. To which tribe should that revert… to the Comanche who had it before us, or the Apache who had it before them?”

This line of reasoning lays bare the futility of making land ownership arguments when referring to a time of exploration and conquest. 

Knowles also refuted the claim that Columbus was “racist” or “a genocidal maniac,” saying these accusations are unfounded despite their popularity. 

The Daily Wire podcast host further expanded on his feelings about Columbus during a 2019 speech he gave at The University of Notre Dame. 

Knowles said Columbus was “born to no rank and received no education other than the extensive instruction into which he poured his sizable genius.” He mentioned that the Left hates him at least in part because he was a devout Catholic.

Citing historical evidence, Knowles pointed out multiple times when Columbus was attacked by native tribes and showed restraint. Right now you can celebrate this great explorer with Mayflower Cigars, Michael Knowles’s brand of premium, handmade cigars that champions rich historical roots and commitment to quality. Save 5% on Mayflower Cigars with code COLUMBUS at checkout for a limited time. Must be 21 years or older to order. Some exclusions apply. And check out the Columbus Day sale on the Mayflower’s brand-new collaboration with The Candle Club, featuring scents inspired by the historic voyage and the premium cigar blends.

In short, Columbus was a man of his time. The Left would love to rip down his statue and cry over his perceived flaws. 

In fact, if they’d been around back then, he’d be the type of man to use Jeremy’s Razors.

No portraits of Columbus were ever painted, but one biographer described him as having red hair and a beard before it turned gray at an early age. He’d surely have benefitted from Jeremy’s Precision 5 razor, a redesigned masterpiece of ingenuity that delivers an exceptionally smooth & close shave. It’s all thanks to five coated stainless steel blades, an Argan oil- and aloe-infused lubricating strip, and a precision trimmer. Don’t let stubble colonize your face. This Columbus Day, save 14.92% on Jeremy’s Razors.

Columbus didn’t create racism or exploitation — he simply sought to expand horizons and bring worlds together. So raise a glass to one of the good ones and celebrate this Columbus Day by supporting companies with the same values you have.

Majority Of Americans Say Kamala Harris Hasn’t ‘Clearly Explained’ Immigration Stance

 A majority of Americans say that Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has not “clearly explained” her stance on illegal immigration even as it has become one of the top issues for voters, a new poll from Pew found.

The poll of Americans from Pew Research, conducted from September 30th to October 6th, found that more than 60 percent say that Democratic candidate for president Kamala Harris has not “clearly explained her policies” regarding illegal immigration.

Multiple public opinion surveys have found that illegal immigration is one of the top issues on the minds of voters as the November election draws near.

A sizable majority of respondents in the Pew poll, 70 percent, say that former President Donald Trump has clearly articulated his plan to address illegal immigration. The poll, which had 5,110 respondents, also found that majorities also believe that Harris has not clearly explained her positions on strengthening the economy, foreign policy, the wars between Russia and Ukraine or Israel and Hamas, or healthcare. Abortion was the only issue from the list of seven that respondents say Harris has adequately explained her stance on.

A majority of voters said that Trump has clearly explained his stances on abortion, strengthening the economy, and foreign policy in addition to illegal immigration.

The Pew poll results come as the Democratic candidate has attempted to pivot on immigration, marketing herself as a “border state prosecutor” despite the Biden-Harris administration presiding over unprecedented surges in illegal immigration on both the southern and northern borders. One recent advertisement from Harris, which implied that the Democrat was in favor of securing the border, even included a shot of Trump’s border wall.

Over 10 million people have crossed the border under the Biden-Harris administration, with an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways recorded since he was inaugurated in 2021. The figures present a stark contrast from the Trump administration, when there were 415,000 total reported gotaways for 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Harvard Gave Students 10 Minutes To Protest Anti-Hamas Speaker

 Harvard University students hosting anti-Hamas speaker Mosab Hassan Yousef for a lecture last week were required to read a university-issued statement, informing the audience that protesters would be allowed up to 10 minutes to disrupt the event before being removed.

“Speech is privileged in the University community,” the Harvard student hosting the event read. There are obligations of civility and respect for others that underlie rational discourse. “If any disruption occurs that prohibits speech the disrupters will be allowed for up to 10 minutes.”

Yousef, known as the “Green Prince,” is a former Palestinian militant who defected to Israel in 1997. He worked with the Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet, helping to prevent terrorist attacks, including suicide bombings. His father, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, is a co-founder of Hamas.

At the 5-minute mark protesters will be issued a warning and asked to stop, and after five more minutes they will be removed if their disruptive behavior “prevents the audience from adequately hearing or seeing the speakers,” the statement said.

The policy comes as Harvard grapples with how to deal with the anti-Israel protesters on its campus who have created encampments, harassed Jewish students, and disrupted graduation ceremonies. Yousef’s event was hosted by The Harvard Salient, Harvard’s only conservative student publication, which has been gaining momentum since its 2021 relaunch.

A Harvard student who helps run student organizations but wishes to remain anonymous for fear of retribution from classmates told The Daily Wire that “the school has allowed for the heckler’s veto for a while, but the reading of the statement is new.”

No protesters disrupted Yousef’s event. However, an anti-Israel vigil was held simultaneously, with participants honoring the victims of what they described as “one year of genocide.”

“After a year of genocide, we must honor the over 42,000 martyrs lost in this genocide,” an anti-Israel Harvard student group wrote on Instagram.

Shabbos Kestanbaum, a recent Harvard Divinity School graduate suing the school for enabling anti-Semitism, slammed the 10-minute policy, claiming it is the school allowing “temper tantrums.”

“Rather than live up to its unfounded reputation of academic excellence, Harvard University instead sanctions temper tantrums, allowing students and professors to impede others’ free speech and educational opportunities,” Kestenbaum told The Daily Wire. “This is yet another example of Harvard acquiescing to the demands of the mob.”

During his talk, Yousef attempted to diagnose the anti-Israel radicalism expressed by many Harvard students since Hamas’ October 7 massacre, raping, and kidnapping of Israelis in southern Israel.

“Hamas has been up to something really bad, but people are in denial, and they do not want to face the truth,” Yousef said. “We don’t only see it on the streets of Gaza. We see it in London, we see it in Paris, we see it in New York, and we saw it on this campus.”

Yousef fled to the United States and applied for political asylum in 2007, which was granted in 2010 after his Israeli intelligence handler Gonen Ben Itzhak testified to his story and the risks to his life if he returned. Yousef says he has lost his family and his feeling of security after making it his life’s mission to speak against Hamas and terrorism.

“And truly many of us have been shocked because this is Harvard,” he added. “People assume that the students have high IQ and are very smart and they kind of fall into the trap of delusion. But now, the students of Harvard, at least some of them, proved the opposite of all expectations.”

Yousef said he is not surprised by what is happening on college campuses in the United States, citing the story of Yaha Ayyash, an electric engineering graduate of Birzeit University, the top university in the West Bank. Ayyash — nicknamed “the Engineer” — is known for revamping Hamas’s suicide bomb production, and is credited with helping kill nearly 100 Israeli civilians in the 1990s.

“Look up Hamas leaders, most of them are doctors and engineers.” Yousef said. “There’s a big difference between education and intelligence. You can be well-educated, but without being anchored in certain truths or having a moral compass, then automatically you can be swayed by any ideology, and then all of a sudden you believe that blowing up buses is part of the resistance.”

Harvard University has an active relationship with Birzeit University, whose students elected a Hamas-affiliated student bloc to run its student government, The Daily Wire previously reported. This same group honored Ayyash in a reception for new students, titled “Ayyash’s Army” on November 24, 2022 — the day after terrorists detonated bombs at a bus stop, killing two Israelis.

Yousef said he does not have a problem with anti-war students, but believes they must be pro-peace instead of just attempting to delegitimize Israel.

“Palestine is nothing but a colonial power created by the British that lasted approximately 25 years. And today, millions around the world want to bring the colonial entity back to life at the expense of a well-established and a really liberal country, the only democracy in the region that has all ethnic groups in it: Muslims, Arabs, Jews, Druze, Christians all living in harmony as equal citizens.”

Yousef added that educational institutions should do a better job telling the story of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, because students are confused and “driven by very strong emotions when they see the bloodshed on social media, even though many are fabricated by Hamas and Hamas’s strategy has been to sacrifice civilians.”

“If the anti-war activists don’t like what we are seeing, then they must work against Hamas who have been using human shields,” he said. “How can you advocate on behalf of the children and then validate the Hamas and the Palestinian ideology that is nothing but a false narrative?”

He added that he thinks those who are advocating for a “Free Palestine” or chant “from the river to the sea” do not understand the implications of eliminating Israel.

“Here in the West, they don’t realize the crime that they are committing because when they say free Palestine. Who is supposed to do the job? Free Palestine or ‘from the river to the sea’…means that someone has to go on a suicidal fight with Israel to remove Israel from the land as a condition to establish Palestine,” he said.

“Me, the children in Gaza, the children in the West Bank, are supposed to actually fight on behalf of the egomaniacs playing the savior so they can make a point for their movements to become successful? This is not acceptable,” he added.
