Mamdani’s ‘gender-affirming care’
plan surgically erases gays — just like Iran
Posted By: Mercedes44, 11/18/2025 2:50:11 AM
The New York Times reported last month on the dire situation for gay people in Iran, where homosexuality is punishable by death. Many are pressured to undergo brutal reassignment surgeries to live as the opposite sex. Now, instead of effeminate gay men, they’re just run-of-the-mill straight women. Problem solved. What Iran has effectively built is a medical system that treats homosexuality as a defect to be surgically erased. The goal isn’t self-expression; it’s social conformity. Transition becomes a tool of state-enforced heterosexuality. As a gay man myself, I think that sounds pretty barbaric. Though you could say that what’s occurring in the United States is arguably worse. Here,

Ex-Treasury Secretary and Harvard professor Larry Summers announced plans Monday to step back from public commitments amid fallout from the release of emails between him and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The former Clinton and Obama administration official had exchanged emails and text messages with the disgraced financier well after his 2008 guilty plea in Florida for sex crimes – and up until Epstein’s July 2019 arrest on federal child sex trafficking charges, a trove of documents released by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee revealed last week.
Drug pushing has long been a stain on Washington Square Park, declassing its iconic arch and proximity to NYU.
Parents from around the world pay some $93,000 per year for their children to attend the august institution, despite hardened street dealers operating in all-too-close proximity.
While street performers sharpen their acts, chess players position pieces on stone tables and NYU kids enjoy the park as a de facto campus, there have always been shadowy dudes hissing about their loose joints and cut-rate bags of blow.
President Trump pledged that prices will come down in a speech to owners, operators and suppliers of his beloved McDonald’s Monday.
Trump’s address at the fast-food giant’s Impact Summit in Washington, DC, comes as concerns over his handling of the economy and the cost of living have mounted.
“Prices are coming down,” the president claimed. “I will tell you that nobody has done what we’ve done in terms of pricing,” Trump argued. “We took over a mess. We had the highest inflation in the history of our country … and now we have normal inflation.”

If you live in one of the states or municipalities that held elections in 2025 – or, really, if you've been paying attention for the last 10 years – you already know that Democrats still don't have any electoral messaging that doesn't revolve around Donald Trump. He seems to consume their every waking thought and certainly is invoked in much of their campaign rhetoric; in a party devoid of ideas and overtaken by socialists and other far-left radicals, simply being anti-Trump is their best pitch to the American people.
Could “Cats” be changing his stripes?
Influential billionaire GOP donor John Catsimatidis — a fierce critic of socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — now says he wants New York conservatives to work with the incoming administration to ensure the Big Apple’s success.
The grocery store magnate hosted a round-table style panel at his WABC radio studio on Monday with right-leaning bigwigs like former NYPD Chief of Department John Chell and one-time Republican mayoral candidate Fernando Mateo.
“The one thing that we all hold in common is that we all love New York… and we want New York to thrive like it always has,” the Gristedes supermarket owner said during the unusual press conference.

President Trump’s dramatic drop in support from Latinos stunned CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten, who shared polls Monday showing the commander in chief, once popular with the demographic group, is now severely underwater.
Trump’s huge gains with Latinos helped propel him to victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, but his support among the voting bloc is eroding fast, Enten demonstrated, blaming the president’s immigration policies.
“He is 38 points underwater!” Enten said, showing a poll on how Latinos currently view Trump on the issue of immigration.
Alleged Chinese mole Linda Sun brazenly forged then-Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signature in glowing missives sent to dignitaries from the Henan province, according to the feds and documents presented at her bombshell trial.
Jurors in Brooklyn federal court were shown copies of letters purportedly sent by Hochul on March 26, 2018, inviting a six-member delegation from the province in central China to a meeting with then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
But the letters bore clearly forged versions of Hochul’s signature — that featured “overly loopy” handwriting, her former chief of staff Jeff Lewis testified.
Countries that refuse to take back illegal migrants from Britain will face visa bans, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is to announce as part of a crackdown on immigration. But Labour MPs are getting uncomfortable. The Telegraph has more.
States that will not accept the deportation of failed asylum seekers or foreign criminals are to face a “sliding scale” of penalties, from the removal of fast-track visa services to bans on entry documents for everyone from tourists to senior politicians.
On Monday, the Home Secretary will announce plans to block people from travelling to the UK from Angola,
Have you ever noticed how an awfully large number of scrupulously ethical, conservative Christians end up prosecuted, sued and smeared with innuendos? The left loves to point to these as evidence that MAGA is just as corrupt as their side. They gleefully lump them in with a small handful of really awful people, allegedly on the right, who committed heinous crimes. The mainstream media frequently runs articles about child molesters interspersed with articles about these conservatives, implying that they are all equally bad. Run articles like this enough and people will start to make the association.
President Trump has continually said he’s sick and tired of this Epstein nonsense, from his perspective “a hoax’, taking attention away from priorities to make the U.S. economy thrive, energy independence and structural changes to the global economy putting America-First. However, those who seek to retain control over the global wealth system (and maintain the status quo) continuing manipulating the American psyche back to this ‘shiny thing’ in an effort to undermine the Trump agenda.
Large numbers of people, perhaps some with good intentions, just cannot see through this ruse and keep falling into this Epstein trap.
President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal as a growing number of those in his own party supported it.
“We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on social media late Sunday after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida.
Trump’s statement followed a fierce fight within the GOP over the files, including an increasingly nasty split with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene,

President Donald Trump is no longer fighting the release of the Epstein files. But that doesn’t mean he’s happy about it.
Trump threw his support behind a congressional effort to release all the files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after it became clear that he could not halt its momentum and that he risked suffering an embarrassing blow on the House floor, people familiar with the matter told CNN.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) plans to increase shipping prices in January as it attempts to stabilize its finances while adapting to a rapidly changing postal delivery market. The proposed changes—which were recently approved by the service's governors—follow the release of its fiscal year 2025 financial results, which showed losses of $9 billion, despite a fairly modest revenue growth. The proposed changes will increase rates by 6.6 percent for Priority Mail, 5.1 percent for Priority Mail Express, 7.8 percent for USPS Ground Advantage, and 6 percent for Parcel Select.
The Justice Department’s prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey is facing death by a thousand procedural errors.
Federal judges overseeing the criminal case have increasingly raised concerns about the department’s efforts to investigate and indict the adversary of President Trump, from the evidence presented to grand jurors to the prosecutor who made the government’s case. Any one of the issues could do away with Comey’s charges before he’s ever put on trial.
“This is what happens when you try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear,” said Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney.

COP30, the UN climate conference, is underway in Belem, Brazil. Thousands of representatives from all over the world have journeyed to discuss how to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to try to fight human-caused climate change. But ten years after the Paris Climate Agreement, the global consensus on climate change is crumbling.
COP30 is the thirtieth “conference of the parties.” The first took place in Berlin in 1995. At COP21 in Paris in 2015, more than 190 countries signed the Paris Climate Agreement, pledging to cut emissions and to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
About 50,000 people are attending COP30 from more than 190 nations.

Michelle Obama said this week that America is “not ready for a woman president,” adding that “we saw that in the last election.” Cute. Predictable. And only barely half right. The former First Lady wants you to believe that America rejected the idea of a woman leading the free world because we’re too primitive, too sexist, too stuck in the Stone Age to recognize brilliance when it smiles into a camera.
Wrong.
We rejected Kamala Harris — because she is, without exaggeration, the emptiest pantsuit ever shuffled onto a debate stage. She didn’t lose because she’s a woman. She lost because she’s incompetent, inauthentic, unprepared, and catastrophically unlikable.

Hamas was lying all along

Many stakeholders in the resolution of the Israel-Gaza War insist that a tenuous but legitimate agreement is in place to resolve this war. The exception to this understanding is…Hamas.
Recently, an official for Hamas, Osama Hamdan, made clear in no uncertain terms, that Hamas will “negotiate” Phase 2 of the agreement. But their definition of negotiating is “stalling for time.”
In a podcast interview on November 10, Hamdan emphasized that only the first phase of the plan had been accepted, not Phase 2. Hamas has still not complied with Phase 1, which raises a number of questions:
Did Hamas lie to US President Donald J. Trump when it said that it had accepted
America’s crime map is not random. And it is not evenly distributed. It forms a pattern, a persistent outline that says more about the country than any campaign speech or census brochure ever could. When you trace the safest states in America, you trace a corridor of calm: New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont’s shadow, Idaho’s long sweep of farms and foothills. Places where the pace is steady and the population overwhelmingly white. When you trace the most dangerous states, the pattern changes just as sharply — a concentration of chaos in states marked by sprawling cities, fractured communities, and the kind of “diverse” demographic makeup polite society insists you never mention.

One of the college basketball players banned by the NCAA for participating in sports-betting operations has acknowledged his role in a gambling scheme.
Former University of New Orleans guard Dae Dae Hunter said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that he participated in point-shaving.
“I did go out there and not do my best: basically shooting the ball and not actually trying to make it,” Hunter said on the show, which aired Monday. “I just had a child. The school wasn’t paying me, so I was trying to get money to actually take care of my child.”
Hunter and two New Orleans teammates are among six players whose eligibility was revoked by the NCAA

Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’
14 replies
For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned. Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet. Like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into every aspect of Western culture, from the corporate boardroom to the university campus. Question whether man-made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather than natural, often centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling of the planet, and one was labeled a climate crank.
