I like your squatters rights idea!! See if the local justice officials would have the squatters removed!

Howdy K². Maybe have the local politicians take several of them into their homes and take care of them.

No sunshine here today, cool and cloudy with a chance of showers. The yards are still a bit squishy from all the rain. Looks like Saturday thru Tuesday is going to improve. I hope.

Senate Dems Facing Re-election Suddenly Find Religion on Biden Energy Excess

David Blackmon
Apr 18, 2024


It was a foregone conclusion that retiring West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin would vote to nullify a key plank in the Biden Green New Deal energy and climate agenda on Wednesday. Manchin has made a habit of opposing carefully picked aspects of that agenda over the past few years even though he folded like a cheap suit when he became the deciding vote on the Orwellian Inflation Reduction Act in August, 2021.

Everyone also knew it was likely that Kyrsten Sinema would vote her conscience on the provision given that she no longer has any hopes of being re-elected to her Arizona Senate seat this year. Like Manchin, Sinema has shown occasional displays of common sense on energy whenever it has suited her political fortunes. Unfortunately, she, like Manchin, threw her career prospects into the toilet when she sold out the country on the IRA.


What was not known until Wednesday’s vote was whether a) the GOP minority would remain unified, and b) any other Democrats seeking re-election would do the right thing for their respective states?

The regulatory action in question was, as reported by Nick Pope at the Daily Caller, “a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) rule that critics have characterized as an effort to reduce the number of gas-powered cars on America’s roadways.” The regulation would require state transportation agencies to dramatically increase the cost of road projects by having to formulate emissions reduction plans for federal road projects in their states.

“Few things are more frustrating in government than unelected bureaucrats asserting authority they don’t have and foisting federal mediocrity on the excellence of states,” Republican North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer, who introduced the legislation, said from the Senate floor on Wednesday. “The Senate will take up my bipartisan resolution that overturns the Biden administration’s obviously illegal rule that requires state departments of transportation to measure CO2 tailpipe emissions then set declining targets for vehicles traveling on the highway systems of their perspective states.”

Fortunately for them, Montana Democrat Jon Tester and Ohio Dem Sherrod Brown, both of whom face tough battles for re-election this year, were given permission by Chuck Schumer to vote the right way for their constituents on this resolution once it became obvious it was going to pass.

While Tester and Brown will now go back to their states and brag to constituents how they stood up to the Biden administration for the energy industry that drives so much of their state economy, this is nonsense. These two guys would have gladly sold their state out again and voted in lockstep with Schumer’s dictates were it not an election year.

Tester and Brown are two of the very worst examples of finger-to-the-wind politicians. For them, every vote is a cynical political calculation on which they could go either way depending on which benefits them most, and what they are allowed to do by Schumer. They would never have been allowed to vote the way they did if Schumer needed their vote to kill the resolution, and they both would have been fine with that. They are completely devoid of principle and care nothing about what is best for the people or the country.

So, praise them if you want, but do it with a clear understanding of exactly what you’re praising.

That is all.

Kids' gender clinic whistleblower tells Dr. Phil regretful patients begged to 'have body parts put back on'

'We were encouraged not to make a big deal out of it,' Jamie Reed said of detransitioners

By Alexander Hall
Published April 18, 2024 6:30am EDT

A children's gender clinic whistleblower claimed on Dr. Phil Thursday that she saw regretful patients ask to have their removed body parts restored after operations.

Jamie Reed, who worked at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital, penned a lengthy tell-all expose last year in which she called gender clinics for kids "morally and medically appalling." On "Dr. Phil Primetime," the host asked Reed, who is queer and married to a transgender person herself, what changed her mind about transgender treatments for youth.

"A number of things," she said. "We started to see patients who were experiencing very significant medical harms being rushed to the emergency room with lacerations requiring stitches. We had patients contact us who were begging to have body parts put back on within months of having surgeries."

She went on to claim, "The thing that kept happening is every time I would raise concerns and ask about the protocols and ask about the guidelines - this is just how the industry works, if a child says they're trans there's no questioning it. We just say, ‘Yep, you're trans, what would you like?’"


Reed was responsible for patient intake and oversight during her time at the hospital between 2018 and 2022. She said that most young people who walked through the door received hormone prescriptions that can have life-altering consequences, such as sterility.

"You're telling me that a 12 or 13-year-old, who can't decide which pajamas to wear, can come in and say, ‘I've decided that I want to transition,’ and with no more than a couple of hours or two visits - not even a couple of hours, two visits - they say ‘Okay, start taking this, start doing this,’ which alters their biochemistry in a way that you can't come back from?" Dr. Phil asked.

"Correct," Reed affirmed.

Reed said kids identifying as transgender has become 10 times more common and they are overwhelmingly young teenage women who wish to become men.

Girls, she argued, tend to be very attuned to the trends in their environment, particularly on social media and in their peer groups, to the point where girls in the same class would come in clusters all requesting procedures at the same time.

"They would come in, and they would almost have the exact same storyline, too, like they learned what to say from a video to explain, ‘Oh, no, really, I’ve felt this way from early childhood,' but a lot of their parents couldn’t remember anything like that."



"There were very few written protocols or guidelines, one of the providers even said we were flying the plane as we built it. Doctors are acting like they're God when it comes to medically transitioning children," Reed said.

"I saw a young person who was begging to have their breasts put back on after having surgery, we were encouraged not to make a big deal out of it and definitely not to tell other families. I couldn't continue to be silent on it," she added, about detransitioners.

After Reed went public last year, multiple prominent figures have called for investigations into the trans clinic.

In February 2023, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said that his office had launched a multi-agency investigation into the Washington University Pediatric Transgender Center.


In September, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., sent a letter to Washington University in St. Louis and BJC Healthcare demanding an investigation into its protocols for transitioning minors. The center will no longer be giving minors puberty blockers for the purpose of transitioning to another gender, the center announced that month, due to a newly passed state law outlawing gender-changing treatments for minors. The law went into effect Aug. 28, but exempts patients who have already begun transitioning.

The Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital didn't respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment by publication.

Proof positive....

Proof positive....

Maine joins ‘popular vote’ interstate compact, bringing the total to 209—they only need to reach 270

By Olivia Murray

Pay attention people, because the canary in the coal mine isn’t breathing.

Here’s the story, via an Associated Press report published yesterday:

Maine will become the latest to join a multistate effort to elect the president by popular vote with the Democratic governor’s announcement Monday that she’s letting the proposal become law without her signature.

Under the proposed compact, each state would allocate all its electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote for president, regardless of how individual states voted in an election.

Now, if you’re unaware as to what this compact is, allow me to explain: it’s a nationwide movement to undermine the integrity of, and sidestep the political protections implemented by… the Electoral College.

While these anti-EC activists have loudly called for the abolition of the institution at the federal level, they’ve been quietly and methodically laying the framework at the state level—the National Popular Vote interstate compact. These anti-American operatives are playing the long-game, and we’re barreling toward a shocking and devastating checkmate. (The first state to sign on to the scheme was Maryland in 2007.)

Maine’s governor is Democrat Janet Mills, who said this about her decision to allow the NPV bill to become law:

Without a ranked voting system, Mills said she believes ‘the person who wins the most votes should become the president. To do otherwise seemingly runs counter to the democratic foundations of our country.’

Uh lady, that’s called tyranny of the majority, which is exactly what our Founders didn’t want, and warned against—but she’s a Democrat, so why would she care?

Many times though, this movement even gets its foot in the door thanks to Republicans. Of course, when caught red-handed, they claim ignorance—but at some point, the I’m-just-a-pitiful-idiot-politician-mea-culpa card gets played one too many times, and I start to suspect something a little more nefarious is going on. Exhibit A:

Mark Finchem and Katie Hobbs were once political allies

In 2016, a host of Arizona legislators introduced House Bill 2456, with a reference title of “national popular vote; interstate agreement” — of the 45 lawmakers who signed on as sponsors, two names stand out in particular: Mark Finchem and Katie Hobbs. Yes, the very same Mark Finchem recognized for his perpetual existence in a ten-gallon hat and his firebrand rhetoric, and the very same Katie Hobbs currently embroiled in Kari Lake’s lawsuit. The bill would have handed over Arizona’s sovereignty, entering into a multi-state agreement to give Arizona’s electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate won the popular vote.

Had Finchem, a “Republican,” successfully lobbied the bill through Arizona’s legislature, Hillary would have taken Arizona in 2016.

Now, if all of that weren’t convincing enough that this is a very dangerous movement, uber-left Brennan Center for Justice published an article in 2019 in which the author made the case for NPV legislation, because the EC is “one of the most undemocratic features of U.S. elections.”

As a colleague mentioned, this NPV plot isn’t constitutional because it directly conflicts with Article II, Section 1…which is exactly right, but when has that ever stopped them before? Furthermore, I personally have absolutely zero trust in the Supreme Court as a whole, finding only two of the nine justices to be principled and reliably pro-Constitution; of course, I’m referring to Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

Now, this interstate compact only takes effect when the participating states have 270 electoral votes, but with Maine’s participation, the NPV movement has a total number of 209 electoral votes in the bag. The movement is well-funded, and picking up speed—just last year, Minnesota signed on to the compact. Michigan is headed that way too. Nevada is also close. And, it’s only a matter of time before it’s back on Arizona’s menu too.

So what can you do? NPV legislation has been introduced in all fifty states, and you can find out what the status is where you live at this link here. If NPV is already law, it must be repealed; this is where the legislators come in, or citizens’ initiatives, or whatever other political recourse might be legal in your state. If NPV isn’t in effect, make sure it stays that way.

Wouldn’t it be just surreal and amazing if these people who took an oath of office and swore to uphold the Constitution knew what they were swearing to uphold! Sure would make our lives a whole lot easier instead of babysitting a bunch of doddering dopes and anti-American saboteurs with the political power of yeas and nays.

Lawsuits by Detransitioners Skyrocket As Transgender Movement Retreats

By SAVE Services
April 17, 2024

The transgender movement is facing setbacks on multiple fronts. Last week a comprehensive review of gender identity services for youth in the United Kingdom concluded:

“The strengths and weaknesses of the evidence base on the care of children and young people are often misrepresented and overstated.”
Thousands of young people received life-altering treatments with “no good evidence on the long-term outcomes of interventions to manage gender-related distress.”
“Social justice” ideology is driving medical decision-making, and “the toxicity of the debate” has created an environment “where professionals are so afraid to openly discuss their views.”

In 2007 Boston Children’s Hospital opened the first pediatric gender clinic in the United States. The hospital boasted its Gender Multispecialty Service has “expanded our program to welcome patients from ages 3 to 25.” During the following years, trans medicine became a major money-maker, as nearly 9,000 transgender surgeries were performed annually in the United States with a market value of $1.9 billion in 2021.

Medical treatments for gender dysphoria typically include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormone treatments, and eventually surgery on the genitals and breasts. The Mayo Clinic claims on its website that puberty blockers “don't cause permanent physical changes. Instead, they pause puberty.”

But numerous research studies point to the opposite conclusion. A recent study, for example, reveals that puberty blockers for boys cause mild to severe sex gland atrophy, resulting in long-term fertility problems.

The effects of gender treatments are profound. Surgically transitioned persons are unable to have sexual relations, or to father or bear children. Their mental health often deteriorates. Their pain is psychological, social, and physical.

Sometimes these persons come to realize that they made a grave mistake and decide to detransition.

On May 10, 2022, the first detransitioner lawsuit was filed against the Permanente Medical Group in California. Seven months later, Camille Kiefel filed a similar lawsuit in Oregon against the Quest Center for Integrative Health, which had performed a double mastectomy on her. Now, the number of detransitioner and wrongful death lawsuits has increased eight-fold, according to Transition Justice.

These lawsuits allege a breach of the standard of care, including failing to perform a mental health evaluation, lack of informed consent, and battery.

One of the leading law firms in this area, Campbell Miller Payne, reports that medical providers are beginning to shut down their gender modification services, such as Children’s Hospital of Colorado and Washington University in St. Louis.

But inexplicably, the Biden Department of Education is moving ahead with its plan to finalize a new Title IX regulation that would change the definition of sex to include “gender identity.”

Marxist Shulamith Firestone once revealed that the goal of the feminist revolution is the elimination of the “sex distinction itself: genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally… The tyranny of the biological family would be broken.”

Future historians will marvel how a neo-Marxist ideology ignited a global gender hysteria, giving rise to the most egregious examples of medical malpractice in recorded history.
