The gender-bending ideology, the scientifically impossible concept that males can become females or vice versa, has taken over America in recent years. Joe Biden has made it one of his top priorities to promote this ideology – even to having taxpayers fund it.

Often, leftist courts under the guise of various rights, such as equal rights and health care rights, have adopted the transgender ideology and many have blocked state-adopted limits on those dramatic surgeries, even to children, that leave their bodies mutilated.

But now a new force has surfaced, and it is putting the brakes on the social contagion.

It is a fact that insurance companies, fearful of massive liabilities that could spread years into the future, are reluctant to insure those facilities that provide those surgeries.

A report at ZeroHedge explains that "market forces "can "impose their own powerful form of regulation," above and beyond any "regulation" that might come from the government.

"Happily, we're beginning to see market forces create a major impediment to the practice of irreparably altering the bodies of confused adolescents," the report said. "Those forces have emerged in the form of soaring malpractice insurance premiums for clinics that use hormones, puberty blockers, and surgeries to address gender-confused children. Many insurers are refusing to offer coverage at any price."

The report cited the headwinds facing an organization called "The Project of the Quad Cities."

The report said the Illinois company was ramping up on the border with Iowa, intending to cash in on "Iowa minors who could no longer receive gender-altering services in their own state after they were banned in March."

Clinic spokesman Andy Rowe told reporters, "I didn’t anticipate that it was going to be a big deal" to obtain malpractice insurance.

Then one insurer turned the company down, And the second. And the third. And nearly a dozen more.

Using a slogan that is a knock-off of terror group Hamas' "From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free," which calls for the elimination of Israel and Jews there, a campaign has been launched in an alternative publication in San Diego demanding that same "freedom" there.

The Hamas slogan references the territory from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, which includes Israel.

The San Diego slogan states, "From the freeway to the sea, all La Jolla must be free," referencing the Pacific Ocean.

It is in the San Diego Reader that Walter Mencken is listed as the author of "The Al-Alloj Intifada."

He quotes Amir Asham, of the University of California-San Diego's "Students for Palestinian Promotion," who said, "For much of its history, there were no Jews in La Jolla. This is a well-documented fact."

He is quoted explaining that realtors who were approached by Jewish settlers "would call the Real Estate Broker’s Association, which would see to it that the settlers were told that no properties were available."

But then, the commentary charged, the brokers were convinced, by Roger Revelle, to break their agreement to red-line Jews in order to get a branch of the UC university system.

"'You can't have a university without having Jewish professors,' he told them. And they yielded," the commentary said.

It continued that now, knowing "better," "we know that it is not only possible to have a university without Zionist oppressors — it is necessary."

The commentary then deteriorates into a discussion of "poop swastikas" in campus bathrooms and more.

"Who famously claims victim status even as they hold a community hostage, telling them they cannot have a university unless they accept colonization? The answer is clear, as is the solution," the rant continues.

Such anti-Semitism has exploded across the country and around the world since Oct. 7, when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and butchered some 1,400 civilians, including burning whole families alive and murdering babies by beheadings.

Israel has since launched a military effort to eliminate the terror threat from Hamas, based in Gaza, and officials have promised they will not stop until it is gone.

Responding to that, the United Nations and other groups have told Israel to hold off on its tactics to allow for "humanitarian" aid, which is often used to resupply Hamas' terror forces.

A new encryption program launched for Meta platforms Facebook and Instagram makes it harder to track down online child predators, former employees, and other experts charge.

The social media conglomerate launched encryption for direct messages on those software programs earlier this month, but a report from the New York Post charged that it helps pedophiles.

Encryption means no one but the sender and recipient can see the contents of messages.

The additional software programming was announced a few years ago, and it's been controversial since.

Former engineering director David Erb resigned from Meta in 2019 in protest of the initiative, he told the Wall Street Journal in a recent interview, the report explained.

Erb had made his concerns known while at Meta because such encryption software "would shield predators who preyed upon children," the report said.

Facebook already had a program allowing people to "track down" children through its scheme to offer "suggestions of possible friends."

Erb had charged, "It was a hundred times worse than any of us expected. There were millions of pedophiles targeting tens of millions of children."

The report cited the case in 2020 of Karl Quitter of Chicago, who used an alias to solicit sexually explicit photos and videos of at least nine teenage girls via Facebook.

In that case, the suspect was accused of promising money for food and medicine in exchange for "sexually explicit images."

Because the messages were noticed, he was flagged and authorities notified.

According to the report, Brian Fitzgerald, of the nation's Department of Homeland Security, explained, "A random stranger shouldn’t be able to — off of first contact — go to encrypted communications with a minor.

A spokesman for Meta said the company has a long list of "child safety efforts."

Another victim committed suicide after falling victim who a solicitation for explicit images, but failing to come up with the cash for extortion. Several individuals are facing charges now.

report from Breitbart confirmed former employees and child safety advocates are criticizing the Zuckerberg moves.

It explained the tech, "while protecting user privacy, can also be misused by individuals with malicious intentions, including child predators."

While citing instances of attacks on children, the report noted a defense from Andy Stone, of Meta, who claims the company works on various efforts with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Four Democrat appointees on the Colorado Supreme Court who decided that President Donald Trump was guilty of being an "insurrectionist," without any evidence of a conviction, or even charges, included a musician and a "gay icon," according to an analysis by the Daily Mail.

The four made up a majority of the seven-member court that has claimed that Trump is not eligible to run for office in 2024 because of a relic from the Civil War, a constitutional provision that uniquely already has allowed Congress to overrule its requirements.

The judges, part of a Colorado judicial system that has been plagued with accusations of mismanagement, fraud, and even criminal activity in recent years, are Richard L. Gabriel, Melissa Hart, Monica Marquez, and William W. Hood.

Their claims stem from Trump's encouragement on Jan. 6, 2021, for his fans to go to the Capitol and protest what they considered a defective election "peacefully."

A few hundred rioted.

But their sentiment about the election actually has proven accurate, as evidence now has confirmed the undue influence on the results from the $400 million plus that Mark Zuckerberg handed out like candy to various elections officials who often used it to recruit Democrat votes.

Further, the FBI interfered with the results by telling media corporations to suppress accurate, but extremely damaging, information about the Biden family revealed in a laptop computer abandoned by Hunter Biden.

The agents, at the time they were calling those details "Russian disinformation," knew that the charges were accurate.

Subsequent polling showed that interference alone cost President Trump the election and handed it to Joe Biden.

The report called the ruling a "bombshell" and pointed out it was the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies "insurrectionists" from office, has been used to attack a presidential candidate. The provision technically does not include presidents, analysts have confirmed.

The ruling likely is facing immediate appeals.

The four judges, without any charges of insurrection against Trump, decided those Jan. 6 events were an insurrection and Trump was guilty.

The case was before the court in a case brought by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics on behalf of voters.

"In the career-defining decision, the justices claimed that they did 'not reach these conclusions lightly' and said they were 'mindful of the magnitude and weight of the questions' before them," the report explained.

Trump accused the four Democrats of election interference and legal expert Jonathan Turley accused the four of "throwing matches" at a country that already is "a powder keg."

Trump, of course, is far and away the leading GOP candidate for the office and has consistently shown in polling that he likely would defeat Biden.

The report noted Gabriel, a Yale graduate, has faced harassment accusations from a female law clerk but an outside investigation suggested the claim wasn't well-founded.

He's known for playing his trumpet in various jazz bands.

Hart came to the court after a career in leftist academia, teaching at the Boulder-based University of Colorado after graduating from Harvard.

The report noted she had "previously been implicated [in] a discrimination lawsuit filed by a black job applicant at the Supreme Court. Michele Brown had accused Hart and other judges of engaging in racial and age discrimination when they declined to hire her as a rules attorney."

Her case later was dismissed by another judge.

Marquez, a Yale graduate, promotes her "gay" lifestyle through the Colorado LGBT Bar Association.

The report said Hood was praised by Democrat Gov. John Hickenlooper at his appointment for creating "informed decisions."

And Hood promised to do "all that I can" to "deserve the vote of confidence" from the Democrats.

Dissenting were Chief Justice Brian D. Boatright dissented, concluding that a state court hearing wasn't the venue for such constitutional questions. Justices Maria E. Berkenkotter and Carlos Samour also dissented.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said the ruling wasn't a surprise from "the all-Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court.

He said Democrats are "in a state of paranoia over the growing, dominant lead President Trump has amassed in the polls.

Turley said the court even got the fundamentals wrong, as January 6 "was many things, most of it not good. In my view, it was not an insurrection. It was a riot."

Actually, insurrection is defined as an organized attempt to overcome and replace an existing government, including particulars such as taking control of the military, the government's finances, its operations, and more, none of which was attempted on Jan. 6.

Another report, from the World Tribune, documented how Hart "is the granddaughter of fired Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox." Her mother Phyllis's brother is Archibald Cox, Jr.

The report noted, "Malicious betrayal of the American people runs in the family."

And it explained, "In the 1990s, Hart’s uncle Archibald Jr. joined notorious globalist nation-destroyer George Soros in a business deal that led to the 2004 move of a major U.S. manufacturing plant producing vitally important high-tech magnets made from rare earth minerals for the Pentagon to China."

The report documented, "The transfer was so outrageous that it became a go-to campaign staple for Hillary Clinton in attacking the George W. Bush administration when she ran for president in 2008."

The report said it was in 1995 that "General Motors decided to sell Indiana-based Magnequench to a Chinese-American consortium. The consortium included: San Huan New Materials and Hi-Tech Co., a company owned by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Onfem Holdings is a company controlled by the State Nonferrous Metals Industry Administration in the People’s Republic of China. Soros Fund Management, headed by George Soros. The Sextant Group, founded by Archibald Cox Jr."

Clinton lashed out, "A Chinese company bought Magnequench. The people of Indiana, the company, and the elected officials begged the Bush administration to block the Chinese company from moving the jobs to China…. Not only did the jobs go to China, but so did the intellectual property and the technological know-how to make those magnets…. I’m not comfortable with the fact that we now have to buy magnets for our bombs from China."

The report said Cox was "richly rewarded" for his efforts to move the tech to China, as he "later moved into a $12 million luxury New York residence."

The report noted, "What other word could possibly apply to Archibald Cox Jr.’s malevolent Soros-abetted financial assault on U.S. national security than treason? It’s a term that easily applies to the four politicized state Supreme Court justices who have violated the voting rights of all Americans in Colorado."

Local Colorado media has documented various allegations and charges of corruption and misbehavior in the Colorado judiciary, including an investigation by the state auditor into the Colorado Judicial Branch that found evidence of occupational fraud, apparently illegal transactions, and the misuse of public funds.

Colorado has been run almost exclusively by Democrats since several Democrat billionaires colluded in the early 2000s to strategically fund and win key legislative races with huge donations.

The Colorado judiciary also has unleashed some stunningly incorrect decisions in recent years, including endorsing the state's unconstitutional attacks on baker Jack Phillips, who refused to violate his Christian faith in order to promote LGBT lifestyles. The U.S. Supreme Court actually scolded the state for its "hostility" to Christianity.

Leftists across America are ignoring the success stories of black students in conservative states, and a commentator for the Washington Examiner is wondering why.

It is in an opinion piece by Corey Walker, who focuses on education among other topics in reporting, that the problem is raised: "Black students are thriving in red states and blue states fail them."

The article cites Mississippi and Texas successes.

In "deep-red Mississippi, America’s poorest state," reading achievement scores have soared in recent years, the report says.

That boost followed a decision to teach students using a phonics-based reading method, a "direct contrast to the 'whole word' method touted in liberal states. The state also dispatched coaches to work with teachers at schools with especially poor results," the report said.

The scandalous plans by the prominent Democrat mayor of Boston to have a "no-whites" holiday event have been revealed.

Commentator Todd Starnes wrote about the situation that was created by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, who, he reported, "had wanted the party to be exclusively for "electeds of color."

The city of Seattle had identified a location for a needed new children's play area, where there were no other options within a 10-15 minute walk, and a private donor had come forward promising to cover the $550,000 cost.

But now it won't happen, because of objections from the LGBT community whose members complained it would infringe on their rights to have an unofficial nude beach in the vicinity.

report from the Post Millennial said the plans for the children's playground at Denny Blaine Park on Lake Washington have been killed because of the "nudist beach" that is popular with the city's LGBT community.

Those members created a "backlash" to the city, so the parks and recreation agency decided to pull back on plans for the children.

Parks spokeswoman Christina Hirsch said in an online statement that, "While this area of our city still lacks accessible play equipment for kids and families, we understand the feedback that this particular park is not the best location, and we will evaluate other location alternatives."

The statement continued, "Many members of the public spoke to the importance of this space and use as a beach and the cohesion it has brought within the LGBTQIA+ community. Additionally, the community spoke of the unintended consequences adding a play area to this beach site would possibly bring. This is why we have a robust community engagement process, ensuring all people – including those who have been historically marginalized – have their voices heard and perspectives considered."

The report detailed how Colleen Kimseylove told a local broadcaster the beach was "a place for the weird and the wonderful."

The activists claimed LGBT community members have no other "spaces to go to."

A Fox report noted that the nude beach was "popular," but was not set up formally, having just been used by the LGBT community for decades.

Joe Biden's HHS secretary, Xavier Becerra, a radical abortion promoter, is launching a stealth attack on pro-life pregnancy centers in four states, according to the SBA Pro-Life America organization.

He plans to ban the use of TANF dollars, those available under the program for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, in pro-life pregnancy centers.

According to SBA's Katie Daniel, such a move goes directly against the support among the American people for the centers.

The rule change, proposed "stealthily" by Becerra weeks ago, would ban the use of TANF funding for pregnancy resource centers in Missouri, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and Indiana.

Those four states, individually, use some $1 million to $7 million for those centers now.

Daniel said the funding is only a drop in the bucket next to the $670 million taxpayer dollars that went to the abortion industry giant Planned Parenthood in 2021-2022.

"Biden’s twisted attempt to hinder pregnancy centers’ ability to serve women in need demonstrates his administration is not pro-choice, but pro-abortion. Sixty percent of women who have had abortions say they would have preferred to give birth if they had more financial or emotional support. Yet, Democrats have gone out of their way to ensure women facing unexpected pregnancies are steered toward only one option – abortion," she said.

Becerra has chosen to single out pregnancy centers in his ideological move, the SBA report said.

"On its face, the rule is not viewpoint neutral. . . HHS scrutiny of a state including Pregnancy Resource Centers in its TANF program seems tied to a Center’s disfavored (by the current administration) views rather than whether it is a good partner that is successfully effectuating the purposes of TANF," explained SBA and the Charlotte Lozier Institute in comments on the plan.

Lawmakers from those states already have objected.

"The proposed rule suggests PRCs are not good partners for state-run TANF programs. We disagree with that assertion and contend this is for the states to decide. As elected officials, voted for and held accountable by our neighbors, we are closest to the people and know which entities within our communities can best fulfill the goals of TANF to help families flourish," they said.

One executive of a pregnancy center, who requested anonymity, said, "Our clinic serves over 150 families each year. When a woman with an unexpected pregnancy first walks through our doors we welcome her with open arms and assist her in every way we can for almost two years – from free ultrasounds, medical exams, and counseling, to food, diapers, furniture, and clothing after her baby is born. We offer mentoring, educational programs, and financial assistance during that time – help with housing, transportation, utilities, and even college tuition. Unfortunately, this new policy harms the women and families TANF was created to help."

The latest move is just a continuation of Biden's war against such centers.

"In 2022, Yelp placed a discriminatory warning label on centers, a move which 14 Democrat attorneys general praised in a recent letter. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats have called for pregnancy centers to be shut down. Colorado, this year, passed a law banning abortion pill reversal (APR) treatment. Additionally, California Attorney General Rob Bonta is suing two pregnancy centers for helping women save the lives of their babies with APR," SBA said.

A school in Ludlow, Massachusetts, now is facing a $10 million lawsuit brought by a teacher who was fired for talking with parents about their child, actions that school officials wildly claimed was "conduct unbecoming a teacher."

It is the organization Mass Resistance that has the latest report on the war by the school against traditional ideas and morals.

"Bonnie Manchester had a spotless record in 23 years as a teacher at Baird Middle School. She laid it all on the line when she saw what was now happening to vulnerable children," the organization reported. "Bonnie Manchester is a Christian middle school teacher who was fired from her job in 2021. Her 'crime' was informing a father and mother that school officials were referring to their daughter as a boy and keeping it secret from them."

The situation is becoming more and more common these days as Joe Biden's agenda to push the transgender ideology on Americans becomes more and more aggressive. He's often used the bureaucracy to create "rules" requiring such indoctrination for schools and others.

The Mass Resistance report said Manchester's $10 million lawsuit is against the town, the town's school committee, and multiple school employees "who were part of the effort to fire her," including the former and current superintendents, former Baird Middle School principal, former counselor, and former librarian, a transgender who is accused in the filing of pushing that ideology onto children.

The parents of the child involved earlier had filed a lawsuit against the school, which already is at the appellate level.

Mass Resistance explained it has monitored that school situation for a long time.

"The sexualization of middle school children in the Ludlow schools goes back nearly a decade. Objections from parents and school staff were rejected or dismissed. The 65-page lawsuit filing describes in detail how the 'transgender' middle school librarian (a woman who dressed as a man) allegedly began grooming children with graphic sexual, homosexual, and transgender-themed books and other inappropriate material starting in 2014. The books were not only given to children directly in special 'individual reading time' sessions but also brought into the classrooms," the report said.

According to the filing when parents complained school managers refused to act, even demeaning the parents.

Manchester was shocked that school officials were delivering explicit sexual content to children and was subjected to "harassment and intimidation" because of her objections, the report said.

Even worse, "The lawsuit describes how the school counselor and others maliciously coached troubled children to take on 'transgender' identities with opposite-sex names and pronouns," the report said.

In the specific case involving the young girl, the parents had instructed the school managers not to have any private conversations as she was already in counseling.

They ignored the request, the filing charges, and "secretly persuaded the daughter that she was really 'transgender' and encouraged her to use a male name and 'pronouns,'" the report notes.

Incidentally, the report explains the lawsuit explains the counselor had few if any, professional qualifications in child psychiatry and child development.
