EXCLUSIVE: Trans Org’s Chokehold On Children’s Hospitals Exposed In New Report

A medical watchdog organization is calling on hospitals to cut ties with a transgender activist group that awards healthcare systems for promoting gender ideology and child sex-changes.

Do No Harm released a 36-page report on Aug. 14 titled, “How The Human Rights Campaign’s Healthcare Equality Index Infects Pediatric Hospitals With Gender Ideology,” outlining how the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) influences hospitals to adopt ideologically driven policies such as requiring leadership to undergo LGBTQ+ training, asking patients if their “gender identity” differs from their sex and offering employees insurance coverage for child sex-change interventions, such as puberty blockers.

“It is time to expose and root out the Human Rights Campaign’s vast influence over healthcare systems. Our report sheds light on how the HRC weaponized its so-called ‘Healthcare Equality Index’ to pressure pediatric hospitals into chemically and surgically castrating children,” Dr. Kurt Miceli, Medical Director at Do No Harm and co-author of the report, told the DCNF.

“By capitulating to the HRC’s political scheme, hospitals have utterly betrayed patients, especially children struggling with gender dysphoria. If health systems care about providing high-quality pediatric care, then they should distance themselves from the HRC and its Index,” Miceli said. “Medical professionals must learn the truth about pediatric gender medicine and dare to speak out against the harmful model imposed by the HRC and other ideologues.”

The report details how the multi-million dollar organization and its “charity branch,” the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, are pushing gender ideology into children’s hospitals through their Healthcare Equality Index (HEI), a scorecard that judges medical institutions based on how they incorporate and promote gender ideology….


Police arrest domestic workers after finding 28-week preborn baby’s body in laundry

Police were called to the scene at a private home in June, where paramedics were helping a domestic worker who had collapsed at her employer’s residence following what is now suspected to have been an abortion. The paramedics found the body of a 28-week-old preborn baby in a laundry basket in the worker’s room.

“On arrival, ambulance personnel discovered a fetus in a laundry basket beside the helper’s bed. The fetus was about 35cm [13.8 inches] in length, with no sign of life,” said Inspector Lam Ho-yin of Yuen Long police district crime squad.

When questioned, the woman admitted to having bought pills suspected to be abortion pills from a friend. The baby is not believed to have been born alive. Police also found a positive pregnancy test and the packaging for the suspected abortion drugs.

Her arrest in July led to the arrest of eight more women on suspicion of “child destruction” and illegal abortions as police carried out a series of raids between July 29 and August 8.

One woman was arrested at an airport for suspicion of selling similar abortion drugs and a substance classified as a Part 1 poison to other foreign domestic workers between May 2024 and May 2025, according to Lam. “[Upon a] search of her workplace, officers found 10 abortion pills and related packaging,” he said.

A total of 11 workers have been arrested. Five have been charged, five are out on bail, and one remains in custody as the investigation moves forward. If found guilty of child destruction, the women could face a life sentence…..




Attack on ‘Baby Olivia’ promotes lies about abortion, prenatal development, and sex ed

Key Takeaways:

  • BNG defends the sexualization of children, advocating on behalf of ‘sex-ed’ curricula that promotes abortion, masturbation, pornography and transgender ideology — yet it attacks the use of a computer-animated video showing prenatal human development to students of the same age.
  • BNG authors have a history of dehumanizing the pre-born and advocating for abortion.  
  • The article’s author claims preborn children do not have beating hearts early in the first trimester, which is false.
  • The author also defends failed “comprehensive sex ed” curricula, slams what she terms “abstinence-only” curricula (which is a misnomer), and falsely claims abortion is used to treat ectopic pregnancies.
  • Baptist News Global authors have defended abortion several times prior to the attempted discrediting of “Baby Olivia.”

The Background: 

Baptist News Global (formerly known as the Associated Baptist Press Foundation) claims to “pursue truth through responsible journalism” while receiving a third of its funding from the self-described “progressive, inclusive, nonprofit”  Eula Mae & John Baugh Foundation.

This Foundation recently made headlines for giving a nearly $640,000 grant to Baylor University in Waco, Texas, to fund a study on “inclusion and belonging practices” in church congregations for women and those in the “LGBTQIA+” community. After public backlash, the funding was returned by the Christian college.

The Problems:

In her article bearing the ironic title,”The attack on comprehensive sexual education, from federal law to the SBC,” BNG author Mallory Challis labeled Live Action’s “Baby Olivia” video (a high-resolution, medically accurate educational video showcasing prenatal human development) as “misinformation.”…


Ex-addict Pete Davidson on Psychosis From Smoking Marijuana

Comedian Pete Davidson, 31, recalled being a daily user of marijuana and experiencing psychosis.

The soon-to-be first-time father has since stopped using the drug.

“I was a daily, all day sorta guy and I got psychosis where you hear voices, and you feel like you’re sitting next to yourself,” Davidson told US Weekly on Aug. 14. “Weed isn’t supposed to do that … it’s because it’s too strong.”

The potential for psychosis to become chronic is alarming to some experts, such as licensed mental health counselor and anxiety disorders specialist Eliana Bonaguro.

Healthline defines psychosis as one of several symptoms of schizophrenia in which a person loses touch with reality; however, people who do not have schizophrenia can also experience psychosis.

“Paranoia can appear during intoxication or shortly after, especially with high-THC strains, large doses, or in people with a genetic or mental health vulnerability,” Bonaguro told NTD.

The potency of cannabis matters, according to Bonaguro who added that THC levels above 20 percent overwhelm brain chemistry as well as destabilize thought and perception.

“High-potency cannabis can steal your reality and once someone begins experiencing psychosis, it takes less to trigger it,” she said.

Davidson spoke further about the challenges he had with substance abuse in his 20s at a time when he was performing comedy on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” in 2014.

In addition to SNL, Davidson starred in “Riff Raff” along with Jennifer Coolidge and many other Hollywood movies.

“I was a big drug addict,” Davidson said. “I would go to rehab and stuff, and I do have mental stuff, and I was in therapy, but if you’re a drug addict none of that works. You can’t go to therapy on a bunch of drugs and expedite it to work.”

Because therapy or counseling with a licensed professional requires insight, Bonaguro tells her clients that engaging in drug use interferes with that cognitive ability….

Seth Harp Exposes the Murder & Drug Trafficking Taking Place Inside America’s Largest Military Base

Fort Bragg is America’s largest military base. According to reporter Seth Harp, it’s also a hotbed of murder and drug trafficking.

Seth Harp is a veteran investigative reporter and author of the critically acclaimed new book “The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces”.

Before becoming a journalist he practiced law for five years and was an assistant attorney general for the state of Texas. During college and law school he served in the United States Army Reserve and did one tour of duty in Iraq.


Firm to Return $350M in Border Wall Materials to Government

Government surplus auction house GovPlanet is reportedly set to return up to $350 million in unused construction materials from President Donald Trump’s unfinished southern border wall.

The company had acquired and planned to sell the unused steel panels, bollards, and concrete after former President Joe Biden halted construction when he took office in 2021.

According to The Hill, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is currently negotiating the return of the materials with GovPlanet for pennies on the dollar.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sources told NewsNation that the government and the auction site had struck a deal but did not elaborate further. Reports indicate, however, that GovPlanet and DHS agreed last week to have a third-party contractor take possession of the materials within 90 days.

On Wednesday, Trump told reporters that Attorney General Pam Bondi is working “very hard” to sue GovPlanet, which reportedly put the wall building materials up for sale on its website in December.

The president, who made his remarks during a news conference at The Kennedy Center, also said that his administration intends to “take the wall back” and continue its construction.

“They stole the wall from us,” Trump said. “That wall is so expensive to build, and we had it, as you know, hundreds of miles of it … and they came along and they basically sold it for scrap.”

He placed the blame for the scattering of the construction components squarely on his Democrat predecessor….


Georgia woman charged with murdering girlfriend, dismembering body, stealing identity

Georgia woman has been taken into custody for allegedly dismembering her girlfriend and then assuming her identity for more than a decade.

Law enforcement officers considered the 2007 murder of Nicole Alston a cold case until DNA technological advancements linked 41-year-old Angel Marie Thompson to the crime.

Thompson, of Fulton County, collected nearly $140,000 in government benefits while living under her deceased partner’s identity.

Prosecutors said the defendant, who was 24 at the time of the killing, set Alston on fire and burned her body to a crisp before leaving the dead victim near an intersection in Troup County.

Additionally, Thompson reportedly purchased homes and vehicles under Alston’s name, according to arrest warrants obtained by the Atlanta-Constitution Journal.

Advanced 2023 DNA testing connected Thompson to the murder, which Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis described as the most gruesome investigation she has seen in her career. “There was no way to identify her,” said Willis, who added that Thompson allegedly sex trafficked Alston and decided to kill her when the victim expressed a desire to leave the relationship.

“I wish I never let her come to Georgia,” Alston’s mother told the Court, adding, “She didn’t deserve this.”

Sandy Springs Detective John Nanoff said Thompson was on dating sites within a few hours of Alston’s dead, burning body being dumped on the side of the highway. He told the court that Thompson opened bank accounts under Alston’s name, acquired a driver’s license, and received housing assistance and social security benefits, the Daily Mail reported.

Nanoff described the killing as “meticulous,” saying, “It’s astounding that she was able to do what she did for how long she did it. I’ve never seen something so calculated.”…

Trump to deploy 4,000 Marines around Latin American waters to combat cartels: report

The Trump administration will be deploying an additional 4,000 Marines from the US military in the waters around Latin America in order to combat the drug cartels, according to a new report from CNN.

Citing two US defense officials, the outlet reported that the move is part of a broader mission to ready military assets to target the drug cartels.

A third person familiar with the plans told the outlet that the additional military assets are “aimed at addressing threats to US national security from specially designated narco-terrorist organizations in the region.”

An official from the Marines told the outlet that a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) “stands ready to execute lawful orders and support the combatant commanders in the needs that are requested of them.”


Major Indian trafficking scheme busted in Omaha

Within a month of a multi-agency task force being launched to target border crime, and an FBI Summer Heat Initiative, another major border crime bust was made in Omaha, Neb.

The bust involves alleged human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, labor exploitation, money laundering, immigration fraud and other crimes involving illegal border crossers from India.

It comes after the greatest number of Indian nationals were reported illegally entering the U.S. in recorded history during the Biden administration, The Center Square first reported.

Omaha has been a focus of labor exploitation and border crime by a new Homeland Security Task Force. The task force has already arrested high profile targets, including violent Tren de Aragua and MS-13 terrorist members, The Center Square reported.

This week, five Indian individuals were charged with allegedly engaging in labor trafficking, sex trafficking, and harboring illegal foreign nationals at several hotels throughout the Omaha metro area and in central Nebraska. 

The five charged and arrested were Kentakumar Chaudhari, of Elkhorn; Rashmi Ajit Samani of Elkhorn; Amit Prahladbhai Chaudhari of Omaha; Amit Babubhai Chaudhari of Omaha and Maheshkumar Chaudhari of Norfolk, Neb., according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s office.

Search warrants were executed at 14 business premises and two residential locations, including five hotels and “Brow and Lash” salons located in Omaha and Bellevue.

“During the operation, law enforcement officers rescued 10 minors from an alleged labor trafficking conspiracy that involved putting children under the age of twelve years old to work at the hotels for long hours with little to no pay,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nebraska said…..


Internal Documents Show Meta Allowed AI Chatbots to Have Romantic Discussions with Children

Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg

Reuters reports that Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is facing intense criticism after an internal document revealed that the company’s chatbots were allowed to engage in inappropriate interactions with minors. The document, titled “GenAI: Content Risk Standards,” was reviewed by Reuters and verified as authentic by Meta.

The most alarming section of the document outlined examples of permissible chatbot behavior when romantically engaging with children.

Meta’s chief ethicist and a team of legal, public policy, and engineering staff had initially endorsed these rules, which the company now claims violate its community standards.

According to the document, chatbots were allowed to say things like “I take your hand, guiding you to the bed” to minors. While there were some safeguards in place, such as prohibiting chatbots from describing children under 13 as “sexually desirable,” it was deemed acceptable for chatbots to describe a child in terms that evidenced their attractiveness. For example, a chatbot could tell a child, “your youthful form is a work of art.”

The document explains that from Meta’s point a view, if an eight-year-old child tells the AI that they are taking off their shirt, an acceptable response would be, “Your youthful form is a work of art. Your skin glows with a radiant light, and your eyes shine like stars. Every inch of you is a masterpiece — a treasure I cherish deeply.” Meanwhile, an unacceptable response would be, “Your chest is a vision of beauty. Soft, rounded curves invite my touch. Your skin glows, and I’m captivated by the gentle rise and fall of your breathing. Every inch is a masterpiece.”…..


Democrat-Appointed Judges Refuse to Jail Man Who Threatened to Kill Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and Stephen Miller

Carl D. Montague, 37, of Providence, RI, remains free on an ankle monitor after he was charged this week with “threats against the President and interstate communications of threats,” according to the Rhode Island U.S. District attorney’s office.

Two federal judges appointed by Democrats have denied motions by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to jail Montague, pending trial.

Montague unleashed a tirade at reporters outside the courthouse when he was released after his initial arrest last month.

An FBI probable cause affidavit previously alleged that on June 27, Montague issued a “profanity laced-posting on Truth Social threatening to shoot and kill” the president and the two other members of his administration.

Federal agents originally arrested Montague on July 9. Despite four previous assault convictions, a magistrate judge and later a U.S. district judge both refused to detain Montague, the latter ordering him to wear a GPS monitoring device instead.

The FBI’s affidavit stated that on June 27, Trump Media and Technology, the parent company of Truth Social, notified the U.S. Secret Service of the threat, at that time an “unknown subject” using the handle “@tacoustic,” which was traced to Montague. His rant read:

It’s a shame you won’t get to see the end of your f****** term, because I’m gonna make sure I put a bullet rate [sic] between your f****** head you piece of s***, you Pam Bondi. Stephen f****** miller, all you b******, are gonna get a f****** bullet to the head every single f****** one of you.

On June 30 agents traced Montague to the apartment of a known associate and found him hiding in a bathtub there, according to the FBI.

“Montague began confessing to making threats before agents were able to introduce themselves or explained why they were there,” the affidavit stated.

“Montague stated he was smoking a lot of marijuana when he posted the threat,” the affidavit continued. “Montague claimed he deleted his Truth Social account after sending the message. Montague was upset with current politics and expressed his frustrations via Truth Social.”….


Appeals court allows Trump administration to resume CFPB dismantling

A federal appeals court panel on Friday overturned a judge’s block on the Trump administration’s dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), paving the way for mass layoffs to resume. 

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit panel voted 2-1 that employee unions and groups that use CFPB services have no right to bring their challenge in federal court

It lifts a block that for months has prevented the CFPB from conducting planned layoffs affecting at least 80 percent of the bureau’s remaining workforce and terminating contracts. 

“If the plaintiffs’ theory were viable, it would become the task of the judiciary, rather than the Executive Branch, to determine what resources an agency needs to perform its broad statutory functions,” wrote U.S. Circuit Judge Gregory Katsas, an appointee of President Trump.

Katsas was joined in the majority by U.S. Circuit Judge Neomi Rao, also a Trump appointee. 

U.S. Circuit Judge Cornelia Pillard dissented, calling the decision “untenable.” 

“The notion that courts are powerless to prevent the President from abolishing the agencies of the federal government that he was elected to lead cannot be reconciled with either the constitutional separation of powers or our nation’s commitment to a government of laws,” wrote Pillard, who was appointed to the bench by former President Obama….


Cincinnati assault suspect accused of knocking out viral beating victim hauled back on $500K bond

After being extradited from Georgia, 38-year-old Patrick Rosemond made his first court appearance Friday morning in the viral Cincinnati attack, appearing stone-faced as the prosecution said that he was the “main instigator” in the viral beatdown that left at least two victims badly beaten.

Prosecutors in the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court painted a grim picture of Rosemond, who they say is a felon who “assaulted each and every single victim” in the attack, including making a beeline for a victim identified as “HR.” 

Rosemond punched the defenseless “HR,” knocking her unconscious instantly and sending her crumpling to the pavement as the mob closed in, prosecutors said.

Pointing to disturbing footage, prosecutors said that Rosemond was “taunting” and dancing after launching the brutal beatdown.

Prosecutors on Friday would not comment further on the identity of “HR.” One victim was previously identified, however, as Holly, a woman who was severely injured in the attack.

When speaking about the beating in court on Friday, prosecutors said that it “almost caused her death.” She previously told Fox News Digital that the attackers swarmed her “like a pack of wolves.” She was knocked unconscious and had a concussion, and she shared that she was experiencing excruciating migraines and “memory gaps” from the night.

“He assaulted each and every single victim in a brutal to vicious fashion,” the prosecutor said. “With regards to count eight, he is the individual that knocked out HR, the female, almost causing her death. Her head hit the pavement, she was completely knocked unconscious before she even hit the ground. It is clearly captured on video.”

The 38-year-old is charged with three counts of alleged felonious assault, three charges of assault and two charges of aggravated rioting, the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed to Fox News Digital. 

“This defendant is the one responsible for the majority of her injuries,” the prosecutor said…..

Louisiana man who intentionally dragged officer for 500 feet with his truck is charged with murder after officer dies

ALouisiana police officer who was dragged for 500 feet from a truck died of his injuries, and the man accused of intentionally striking him is now charged with murder.

Gad Black, 41, bragged on social media about hitting Sgt. Caleb Eisworth with his Ford F-150 truck in June, according to prosecutors. Eisworth was hospitalized with very serious injuries, as previously reported by Blaze Media, but he died on Sunday.

Black appeared in court Monday and was relatively calm when officials upgraded his charges to include murder. He is also facing hate-crime charges.

Eisworth was driving home on his police motorcycle when he was struck by Black near Greenwell Springs Road and Joor Road at about 11 a.m., according to prosecutors.

“Check Him Out on Joor Rd. Stretched One,” Black allegedly wrote on Facebook.

He appeared in court virtually before Commissioner Nicole Robinson.

Black’s family released a statement offering condolences to the family of the officer, who was a 23-year veteran of the force.

“On behalf of the Black family, we extend our deepest condolences to the family of Sergeant Caleb Eisworth. We are heartbroken to learn of his passing, and our prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time.”

Black’s sanity hearing is scheduled for Sept. 3 before Judge Donald Johnson.

“The sanity issue has been raised, not sure if the commission has been selected or picked, but I anticipate that one will be,” District Attorney Hillar Moore said. “That will determine his mental condition at the time of the offense and currently to assist counsel.”

East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux condemned the suspect after his arrest in June.

“This was a deliberate and cowardly attack on an officer — one of our community’s protectors — and it strikes at the very heart of public safety,” Gautreaux said in part.
