Flashback As a socialist and a trans woman, I never thought I'd agree with Rand Paul. But on the issue of protecting children, he's right

Trans activists, like Biden's pick as assistant health secretary, Rachel Levine, say schoolkids can choose to have puberty blockers and sex-change surgery. But confused children are too young to make such life-changing decisions.

We all know the mantra by now - 'trans women are women, and trans men are men'. Deep down we may know it to be nonsense, but unless we pay it lip service we risk being labelled as bigots or worse - despicable people who "question the very humanity" of trans people, to use the language of the New York Times.

Victims of this ideology include women, whose boundaries and spaces are being violated by male people who claim to feel like women, and trans women like me who had been getting on with our lives. Nobody consulted with me before social justice warriors made us their cause célèbre. Depicted falsely as one of the most vulnerable groups on the planet, many of us are relatively privileged, only transitioning after our male bodies helped us secure our places in society.

Comment: Kudos to Ms. Hayton for speaking out. She is vilified as a 'traitor' by militant trans groups such as Stonewall and Mermaids for not supporting their desire to co-opt children to their cause.

A Minneapolis man whose six-year-old granddaughter was killed by a stray bullet inside her mom's car is reportedly rejecting calls to defund the police.

"K.G. Wilson's granddaughter, Aniya Allen, was shot in the head as she and her mother were believed to have been caught in the crossfire between rival gangs," Fox News reported Friday.

The 53-year-old anti-violence activist who has worked to get children off the streets and help families affected by violence for about two decades, said Thursday defunding the police "is the craziest thing I've ever heard."

"I can tell you this, if I was a criminal, I would support it," he noted, adding, "I would love it."

Cancer is the leading cause of deaths globally. In 2020, there were just over 19 million cases and 10 million deaths worldwide.

Reduction in modifiable risk factors such as stopping smoking and early identification through screening can considerably reduce the burden of cancer. However, access to diagnostics and timely referral for treatment can radically improve outcomes. The consequences for people with cancer can be devastating if access to effective therapies is delayed.

Specific symptoms such as persistent cough, change in bowel habit, unexplained weight loss suggests cancer. In primary care, we call these 'red flags'. We use these red flag symptoms to identify high-risk individuals, ensuring they access early diagnostics and treatment to improve their overall chances of survival.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday it 's not an isolated incident that over 200 children were found buried at a former Indigenous residential school.

Trudeau's comments come as Indigenous leaders are calling for an examination of every former residential school site — institutions that held children taken from families across the nation.

Chief Rosanne Casimir of the Tk'emlups te Secwepemc First Nation in British Columbia said the remains of 215 children, some as young as 3 years old, were confirmed this month with the help of ground-penetrating radar. She described the discovery as "an unthinkable loss that was spoken about but never documented" at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, the largest such school in the country.

Comment: The political virtue signaling over this event was quite astonishing considering it was all a lie:

Hunter Biden's laptop keeps damning Joe, but most media just ignore it

Hunter Biden's laptop continues to yield damning information that shows his dad, President Joe Biden, played a significant and knowing role in his son's sleazy influence-peddling. And while the media efforts to pretend these revelations are nothing but "Russian disinformation" have ceased, The Post's scoops still get ignored by outlets that would be all over them if they were about the Trump family.

The latest, of course, is the photographic evidence that then-Veep Joe attended an April 16, 2015, dinner with shady Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakh "businessmen" and even posed for photos with the unseemly guests.

To put some face-saving cover on the event in the private "Garden Room" at Café Milano, a posh Georgetown eatery ("Where the world's most powerful people go," run its promos), Hunter billed it as "ostensibly to discuss food security," as he emailed one guest, and invited several officials from the World Food Program.

The myth of the 'asymptomatic spreader' dealt another blow this week


21st Century Wire

covid hysteria
Since the pandemic crisis began in early 2020, government and public health officials have been adamant that any difficult measures taken were all being done in order to 'control the spread of the virus' or 'stop the disease.' Thus, a litany of so-called non-pharmaceutical interventions, and also pharmaceutical interventions - were deemed by the consensus to be essential measures in fighting the spread of what was being characterized as an asymptomatic disease.

Over a year later, a few industrious 'public health' mavens have summoned the courage to actually test this fundamental assumption. Recently in the UK, officials have staged and monitored nine large-scale events, including an FA Cup final football match, and the Brit Awards - both of which were exempt from the usual COVID rules. The results of this test should be hailed as good news, but for those heavily invested in the narrative, it's nothing short of a meltdown: little to no coronavirus "cases" turned up.

Officials managed to scrape together just 15 alleged "cases" or "infections" (deemed as such merely from a single 'positive test') out of some 60,000 total attendees.

The result of this experiment has dealt a crushing blow to the central myth upon which the entire COVID-19 'global pandemic' crisis has been built - namely the myth of the asymptomatic spread, and the much-maligned notorious "super-spreader" events.

The rightwing thinktank Libertyworks has lost its federal court challenge to Australia's outbound travel ban.

On Tuesday the full federal court unanimously rejected Libertyworks' bid to overturn the Covid-19 restriction, which had argued that the health minister, Greg Hunt, has no power to impose a blanket rule stopping citizens from leaving the country.

Justices Anna Katzmann, Michael Wigney and Thomas Thawley dismissed the application and ordered Libertyworks to pay the commonwealth's costs.

RT reports from the thick of war in Central African Republic as Russian instructors aim to help local troops bring lasting peace

central african republic soldier
After a decade of fighting warlords and lawlessness, the Central African Republic is building up a capable military to achieve long-desired peace - and Russian instructors, exclusively interviewed by RT, are key to that mission.

A bloody civil war has been raging in the Central African Republic (CAR) since 2012. The country, which gained independence from France in 1960, has had a tumultuous history of various factions seeking to usurp power, and the violence in the resource-rich nation has dragged on well into the 21st century. When the CAR's president, Faustin-Archange Touadera, requested Moscow's assistance in 2018, his government had control over just a small part of the country's territory, while the rest was claimed by warlords and their gangs.

With the approval of the UN Security Council, Moscow began sending light weapons and instructors to train the army. The outside backing was a game changer, as the authorities in Bangui now say that 90% of the country answers to them.

Comment: More from anti-Russian propaganda outlet RFE/RL:
A military vehicle struck a land mine in the Central African Republic (C.A.R.), killing at least two police officers and three Russian paramilitaries helping government forces battle rebel groups in the war-torn country.

"Three Russian allies and two Central African police officers were killed," government spokesman Ange Maxime Kazagui told AFP on May 30.

Five members of the local security forces were also wounded in the attack, which occurred on May 28 in the west of the country on a road between Barberati and Bouar.

...

Numerous witnesses and NGOs say the instructors are in fact paramilitaries from the Vagner Group, a Russian military contractor with ties to the government, who are actively participating alongside Rwandan special forces and UN peacekeepers in the fight against rebels.

A UN report in Marchexpressed concern about Russian paramilitaries participating in human rights abuses alongside C.A.R. government forces, and in some cases UN peacekeepers. The alleged abuses include mass summary executions, forced displacement of the civilian population, and indiscriminate targeting of civilian facilities.

Mexico report suggests child sex abuse ring at some schools

mexico school children
A study published by a children's rights group in Mexico Monday suggests there has been a disturbing pattern at as many as 18 schools and childcare centers where multiple adult employees allegedly collaborated among themselves and used eerily similar tactics and practices to sexually abuse pupils between the ages of three and seven.

In one case uncovered in 2018, 11 adults at one pre-school allegedly abused 49 children aged between 3 and 5, by inserting water-filled syringes into their bodily orifices, a practice found over and over in other cases.

The "11 offenders are accused of committing the abuse in a coordinated fashion," according to the report by the civic group Center for The Defense of Children's Rights. Children were forced to watch adults performing sexual acts or touch or abuse other kids. In many cases, the similar use of disguises or specific staging of the abuse suggested a broader pattern.
