The Department of Health and Human Services has released a groundbreaking new report on the dangers of mixing gender, ideology, and medical practice for children and teens.

The report was commissioned, and it came out last Thursday. It's over 400 pages long.

But the bottom line is this. The Trump White House ordered the inquiry into and the evaluation of available data on what's called pediatric gender dysphoria treatments, most importantly, hormonal and medical treatments for children and teenagers.

You understand what's at stake

From a Christian perspective. It turns out to be more important in moral terms than the report itself. I want to say that it's very consistent with the affirmation of creation order, what you might call this basic moral sanity.

The report is just one more piece underlining what's been clear to so many who've been watching this closely. When it comes to the transgender issue, the basic battle is ideological, not medical.

And for the Trump administration's recognition of that, we should be grateful.

Recently, Trump administration figures have sent mixed messages about the efforts to end the Iranian nuclear weapons program. Republicans and the Israelis have worried that Trump may sign a deal similar to President Obama’s—with only marginal changes on verification. Trump spoke out this weekend by insisting on “total disarmament,” but still left the door open to civilian nuclear development.

This is the same trap that produced the JCPOA in 2015. The Iranian regime cheated on that while using the funds to support terrorism around the world. Assad has fled Syria, Hezbollah has collapsed, and Iran no longer has its forward threats to deter military action.

This may be the last opportunity to prevent a nuclear showdown in the Middle East. The time to hold Iran accountable for its nuclear weapons and offensive missile programs is now. We cannot allow Iran to hold the region and the world hostage any longer.

If you were to listen to our elite media outlets, you’d have been bombarded with claims that Trump’s first 100 days are a complete failure, that he’s authoritarian, tariffs will ruin the economy, and he threatens Social Security.

But these are the same tactics used to mislead voters, justify shot mandates, lockdowns, and incite violence—you know, like BLM riots or the Tesla vandalism as of late.

These false narratives aim to deflate and depress you.

Democrats’ organized misinformation campaign is not working. Americans voted for Trump to lower the deficit, boost domestic manufacturing, secure borders and make America safe, healthy, and prosperous again. Democrats’ polling is failing.

Stay strong. Trump’s goal is sustainable growth.

As the saying goes, we’re watching “the sausage being made” in Washington. It may not look pretty now, but the results will come.

Be patient.

President Donald Trump sat for a wide-ranging interview with Kristen Welker from Meet the Press last Sunday. The only headline to emerge, and it was everywhere: “Trump Says ‘I Don’t Know’ When Asked About Due Process and Upholding Constitution.” That was the New York Times. Versions of that were reposted everywhere.

The answer was about criminal illegal immigrants in America; Welker specifically named Kilmar Abrego Garcia. What the media did not report was that Donald Trump also said: “I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said.” That, of course, would not be a headline—Try to imagine: “Trump says he’ll follow the Supreme Court.”

Trump was addressing what due process rights illegal aliens should receive; we’re talking rapists, murderers, batterers and gang members. Are they the same as American citizens? Of course not—and as for Garcia, he’s had several hearings already. I, for one, am glad he’s in his home country, and not here.

Can a revolution come as a pill? Over the past century we saw first the birth control pill. And—much more recently—we have the abortion pill.

Both pills have served to reshape our entire moral landscape.

The abortion pill was promised and packaged as “safe.”

Except it’s not.

Just this past week, the Ethics and Public Policy Center released a major study—looking at upwards of 800,000 prescribed mifepristone abortions.

They found that no less than 11% of women had experienced “sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event within 45 days following a mifepristone abortion.”

This is how the culture of death works. It kills and it harms, and it lies. It directs its attack directly on the unborn. It deliberately ignores the “harm” intentionally inflicted on the unborn child and then misrepresents the risk of harm to the mother as well.

It runs on a high-speed rail of lies and then it piles further lies on top.

By now, everyone knows that Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan allegedly did. She reportedly directed ICE agents away from her courtroom, where they were waiting to arrest an illegal immigrant. She then allegedly helped the illegal immigrant escape through a non-public area, although he was caught shortly thereafter.

To become a Wisconsin state court judge, Hannah Dugan took an oath. She swore to uphold the law — both of Wisconsin and of the United States. That means ALL the laws, including America’s immigration law. Not just the laws she agrees with.

The left accuses President Trump of creating a “constitutional crisis.” In fact, judges like Hannah Dugan are creating the crisis by forgetting their constitutional role. They destroy respect for the judiciary—and for our constitutional system—by behaving like activists in robes.

Dugan should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Donald Trump has released an executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote.

This is one of those roughly 80/20 issues where an overwhelming majority of the country believes that only American citizens should be voting in American elections, as the law requires. So of course Democrats found a friendly federal judge to block the executive order.

The judge held that Democrats had shown that requiring proof of citizenship would hurt their voter registration efforts, and [quote] “make it more difficult for them to register voters who are likely to support Democratic candidates” [unquote].

In other words, voter integrity measures are likely to impose particular harm on the Democratic Party.

The ruling should make Democrats very uncomfortable. As they seek a way forward in the Trump era, perhaps they should be finding a way to win that is consistent with fair and legal elections.

President Donald Trump just issued an executive order eliminating the use of “disparate impact” analysis in the use of racial and gender-oriented hiring and benefits. In so doing, he has moved us from an ethos of numerical equity to moral equality.

As Heather Mac Donald put it: Disparate Impact “has been used to invalidate literacy and numeracy standards for police officers and firemen, cognitive skills and basic knowledge tests for teachers, the use of SATs in college admissions, the use of grades for medical licensing exams….It has been used to eliminate prosecution for a large range of crimes…. among other things.

Disparate impact has been used to achieve results, give benefits, and prove racisim where no discriminatory intent has been alleged. Trump’s order restores true civil rights, and is a refreshing fix to the pitting of Americans against one another. In sum, Donald Trump ended the presumption that we are an implicitly biased or racist country with this order, and this will quell and heal increasing racial and gender-based resentments.
