He was later arrested by police and charged with attempted kidnapping. Galligan is being held at the Aurora Detention Center on a $25,000 bond.

…The anti-Flexner activists make the truly remarkable claim that Flexner’s recommendations to close shoddy schools gutted the ranks of future black physicians who would have rendered exceptional care to their fellow minority citizens. Of course, that is a pernicious fantasy. Bad medical schools and poorly educated physicians, regardless of race, never benefit patients. Quite the opposite.
Better schools produce the best physicians who deliver the high quality medical care that everyone should receive. To claim that Flexner was motivated by a racist desire to deplete the ranks of capable black physicians is both preposterous and slanderous.

Flexner’s idea was to impose a scientific standard of excellence on medical education. His models were the German universities and Johns Hopkins Medical School.

In repudiating Flexner, we are turning away from the goal of medical training based on scientifically informed and rigorously grounded standards. Indeed, it is fair to say that we have now entered the post-Flexner era.

The watchword today is not science, but anti-racism and identity politics.

• Seattle High School Teacher Who Believes Men Can Have Babies and Mocked a Student for Identifying as Straight is Finally Suspended for Saying the October 7 Hamas Attack was Justified

Seattle High School Teacher Who Believes Men Can Have Babies and Mocked a Student for Identifying as Straight is Finally Suspended for Saying the October 7 Hamas Attack was Justified

Putting aside everything else obviously wrong with this loser progressive teacher –

If you’re someone who says or who believes that the Oct. 7 attack on Israel was justified, you’re ultimately arguing that Muslims have the right to sexually assault women (yes, women were raped by Muslims in that attack) and that adults have the right to murder infants, in which case, you are a sack of trash.

Under this far left rubric (of “oppressor vs oppressed”), anything justifies any action, no matter how vile and evil. It’s a warped and sick world view – and this guy is one of those.

This news item is further demonstration that we’re now living in a world where heterosexuals are being shamed in public schools for being heterosexual, and LGBT are twerking in front of children in libraries, on public streets in parades, and so forth – homosexuality is being shoved down children’s throats everywhere they go. It’s being injected into their cartoon shows.

We’re even way past the ‘should Christians be forced to bake cakes for homosexual weddings’ point – that debate is rather quaint in hindsight (and no, Christians should not be forced by law or guilt trips by other Christians to bake a homosexual wedding cake if it violates their conscience).

Seattle high school teacher who believes men can have babies and mocked a student for identifying as straight is finally suspended for saying the October 7 Hamas attack was justified

A Seattle high school teacher has been placed on leave after footage emerged of him agreeing that the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel was justified.

Ian Golash, the social studies department chair at Chief Sealth International High School, was placed on leave last week according to the district.

The move to have him suspended came after conservative advocacy group ‘Accuracy in Media’ exposed his social media posts outside of the school.

In a video clip released this month, Adam Guillette, the president of the group, asked Golash whether what happened to Israel in October was justified.

After considering his answer for a few seconds, the teacher responds, ‘Yes’, and later adds that: ‘I think resistance against Israel is justified.’

Guillette then asks him whether the rape of women at the Re’im festival that was attacked by Hamas was justified. He responds: ‘Where is the evidence that there was rape?’

Guillette then asks ‘The murder of innocent women just attending a music festival, that was justified in your opinion.’

‘No’, Golash responds, ‘I think resistance against Israel is justified, yes.’

During an interview with KOMO News, Golash’s father Mike Golash confirmed that his son had been placed on paid leave for the remainder of the semester.  …

He wrote: ‘I think any atrocities that happened on October 7th including rape, mutilations or killings of civilians committed by Hamas fighters or Gazans or Israeli citizens or Israeli Defense Forces are deplorable and worthy of condemnation.’

Social media posts shared by Golash include statements like: ‘I believe that resistance against colonialism – and yes I believe Israel is a settler colonial state – and all forms of oppression is justified. People who are being oppressed get to decide what forms of resistance works best for them, not me or anyone else — especially not the oppressors.’

In another post, Golash declares that he is a communist.

In January, Golash blasted a student who said he was  ‘straight’ and told the boy to use a less ‘offensive’ term.

Sleep is critical for our health and wellbeing. But with poor sleep becoming a growing problem around the world, it’s more important now than ever to understand what factors affect sleep quality.

Surprisingly, one factor that affects how well a person sleeps at night is their sex. Research shows sleep problems appear to be more common in women. Other studies have also shown women may be more affected by circadian rhythm disruptions (the almost 24-hour cycle that controls many of our body’s processes) compared to men.

But there’s still a lot we don’t know about how men and women might differ when it comes to sleep and the circadian rhythm – and what effect such differences may have on health.

This is what a new review conducted by myself and my colleagues sought to uncover. We revealed key differences in sleep quality and circadian rhythm function in men and women.

We also found that these factors may affect metabolism, which could have long-term effects on a person’s health and risk of certain diseases.

Fascinating charts track the explosion of gender-questioning youth in the UK over the past few years.

More than 5,000 referrals were made to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) in 2021/22, compared to just a few hundred a decade earlier.

Girls have accounted for an increasing proportion of the total.

More than 5,000 referrals were made to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) in 2021/22, compared to just a few hundred a decade earlier.

Girls have accounted for an increasing proportion of the total.

Almost two-thirds of referrals in recent years were in teenage girls.

For comparison, boys made up the vast majority when NHS medics were offering gender care to children and young people a decade ago.

[Inserted on their page here are several graphs]

Scientists don’t know what’s behind the alarming trend of girls being more vulnerable to feelings of gender dysphoria and wanting to become boys, with investigations now underway.

The statistics formed part of the bombshell Cass review, which ruled that staples of NHS treatment of trans youth – like doling out puberty blockers and sex hormones – were built on ‘shaky foundations’.

A damning 400-page dossier by respected paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass found such treatments have little evidence of positive outcomes or safety in the long term.

While overall numbers of patients have been rising for years, in a trend experts have pinned on rising awareness of trans issues and online resources, the pandemic saw an uptake in the rate of cases.

• Is Anxiety a Problem of the Mind—or Body? Anxiety May Be a Metabolic Disorder

Is Anxiety a Problem of the Mind—or Body? Anxiety May Be a Metabolic Disorder

Is anxiety a problem of the mind—or body?

The most basic symptoms may relate to energy use, and the most direct treatment may be dietary.

By Hara Estroff Marano published September 5, 2023

Much as anxiety commandeers thought processes— jump-starting bouts of worry, demanding hypervigilance, imposing a sense of danger—it is a physiologic state, a response to detection of threat somewhere in the environment, uncomfortable enough to keep people on the knife edge of arousal, prepared for the ancient imperative, fight or flee.

Sure, diagnosis as it’s currently constituted relies on symptoms from the neck up, but it is biological processes affecting every cell in the body that drive anxiety disorders, now the most prevalent psychiatric condition in the U.S..

…Repeated activation of the stress response takes a toll on body and brain. Anxiety is one result, the mind stuck in a state of apprehension as worry caroms through the brain, impairing and even impeding the ability to function.

Contemporary medicine puts the mental symptoms of anxiety in the big tent and deems it a psychiatric disorder, prescribing psychoactive treatments—psychotherapy and neuroactive medications.

But there is another view emerging—that anxiety is essentially a physical state and that its roots are metabolic; it’s a reflection of a problem of the body’s energy regulation.

 Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, for example, insists that anxiety is a metabolic illness. “Energy regulation is a critical factor in mind and behavior,” she states in the 2022 Annual Review of Clinical Psychology. Thinking is not the brain’s highest purpose—energy regulation is.

On Wednesday, Maryland police arrested and charged a gay Baltimore couple for possession of child pornography, per WJZ.

Authorities were alerted to the discovery after suspect Robert Sherer, 41, reportedly downloaded child pornography onto his IKEA work computer. IKEA officials in Sweden, where the company is based, notified local police about the incident, which resulted in the couple’s arrest.

Robert Books, 54, who is married to Sherer, was also arrested and taken into custody after local, state, and federal authorities searched the couple’s home on Tuesday and discovered child pornography on their cell phones and other devices, court documents show. …

Neighbors of a gay couple in Maryland were shocked to find out they were arrested for possession of child pornography after getting flagged by IKEA.

41-year-old Robert Sherer and 54-year-old Robert Books were arrested Wednesday after police were tipped off about Sherer allegedly downloading child pornography on his work computer. He worked as a senior resolutions generalist at IKEA in White Marsh.

The company, which is based in Sweden, notified Swedish police about the alarming discovery after confirming the accusation. Police notified their counterparts in Maryland, who began investigating the couple in March.

After an investigation by the Maryland Computer Crimes Unit, the couple’s home on North Calvert Street was searched, and police said they found more child pornography on several devices, including cellphones.

A new study has shown that most gender-confused kids grow out of it.

April 8, 2024
by Jo Bartosch

Last week, researchers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands revealed that kids and young people tend to go through phases. In other news, water is wet.

This was the upshot of a 15-year-long study, tracking more than 2,700 children from age 11 into their mid-twenties. Every two or three years, the Dutch researchers asked them how they felt about their sex and identity.

Predictably, the results of this, which were published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior journal, showed that feelings of gender confusion normally pass as young people mature into adulthood.

At the start of the research, 11 per cent of the children expressed ‘gender non-contentedness’ to varying degrees. But by age 25, just four per cent said they ‘often’ or ‘sometimes’ felt discontented with their gender.

The researchers concluded: ‘The results of the current study might help adolescents to realise that it is normal to have some doubts about one’s identity and one’s gender identity during this age period and that this is also relatively common… As such, policies that prohibit gender transition for minors make a great deal of sense.’

So far, there has been no comment on this study from leading trans advocates. [Many well known trans activists, celebrities, and groups who support trans activism have not addressed this study] …

Arrest Made After Man Strips Naked in Women’s Locker Room at Planet Fitness, Claims to be Transgender

Planet Fitness policy is to allow male perverts entrance into women’s locker rooms and bathrooms so long as said male perverts claim to be women.

Planet Fitness has a past of barring biological women members who complain about male transwomen perverts (men who claim to be women) being permitted into women’s locker rooms there.

No girl or woman entering a woman’s changing room or bathroom should have to share those spaces with men or see nude male dong.

And I don’t give a flying Eff if your best friend is a “transwoman,” he should not have access to women’s spaces.
And no, I did not misgender your transwoman friend, as he is male, and his pronouns are “he” and “him.”

Big Brother is watching your spending! Chase to allow advertisers to target bank and credit card customers based on their purchase history

by H. Kelly

JPMorgan Chase is allowing advertisers to target its 80 million customers based on their recent purchase history.

It means Chase customers could soon find themselves bombarded with adverts for products similar to those they have recently bought.

For example, the bank may identify if somebody is a pet owner by whether they have bought pet food recently – and then advertise similar products to them.

The move has chilling echoes of the level of surveillance in George Orwell’s classic novel 1984. The dystopian story gave the world phrases like ‘Big Brother is watching you’ after citizens were monitored around the clock.

A physically healthy, 28-year-old Dutch woman has decided to legally end her life due to her struggles with crippling depression, autism and borderline personality disorder, according to a report.

Zoraya ter Beek, who lives in a small village in the Netherlands near the German border, is scheduled to be euthanized in May — despite being in love with her 40-year-old boyfriend and living with two cats.

Ter Beek, who once aspired to be a psychiatrist, has been dealing with mental health struggles throughout her life.

She said she decided to be euthanized after her doctors told her, “There’s nothing more we can do for you. It’s never gonna get any better,” according to the Free Press.

“I was always very clear that if it doesn’t get better, I can’t do this anymore,” ter Beek said.

The House Judiciary Committee is investigating whether major advertisers ran afoul of antitrust laws by coordinating about which news outlets to blackball.

The committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), obtained documents from the World Federation of Advertisers that show how it implemented a strategy to prevent major advertisers from doing business with disfavored news outlets. The coordinated effort could have the effect of bankrupting news organizations that don’t get the stamp of approval.

British Museum Claims Some Birds, Dinosaurs May Have Been Queer In New Exhibit

by N. Biase
March 29, 2024

A museum in the United Kingdom is facing mockery after claiming that some dinosaurs may have been queer. In its latest exhibition celebrating LGBT history, a pamphlet handed out to guests speculates on the sexuality of dinosaurs.

The LGBTQI+ History exhibit was founded in 2021 by the Hastings Queer History Collective, which consists of members of the gay and transgender community interested in Queer History and demanding representation in museum collections.

Part of the exhibit includes The Queer History Trail Map, which illuminates the trials and triumphs of eleven stories referred to as the collective’s “forebears.”

Included among the stories is one about a cast fossil of the herbivore’s footprint. Although the excerpt notes it cannot conclusively say that the dinosaur that made the fossil was a homosexual, it is a nod to LGBT history because Christopher Winter, the boy who found it, “is now grown-up, happily married to his husband Greg and living in a pink house in Hastings.”
