Diva to Demon: Nancy Mace Causes Dress-Wearing Trans Individual to Drop the Female Act Fast

South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R) got on the nerves of a transgender-identifying individual, forcing him to drop the female act fast, revealing the fickle nature of the assumed identity.

Mace recorded the showdown at the University of South Carolina during a Turning Point USA event by a conservative youth group led by Charlie Kirk. The cross-dressing individual was offended when Mace used the word “babe” and demanded her apology, forcing her to double down and use the word “tranny.”

“This guy in a dress wanted me to apologize for using the word ‘babe.’ Told him no. That I didn’t care if he was offended,” she posted.

“And then I dropped the word t***s, fast. Look what happened next.”

The biological man was adorned in a flowing orange woman’s dress, a wide-brimmed sun hat, and carried a purse to complete the false look. In a feminine voice, he graciously confronted Mace over the “derogatory” word, but quickly lost his composure and dropped the feminine act.

“Does your husband call you ‘babe’?” the cross-dressing man asked, to which Mace replied: “I’m not married.”

“I would like for you to apologize,” he said. “It is derogatory and…”

“Is tranny derogatory?” Mace interjected.

“Well, yeah,” the pro-trans person replied, with his soprano voice quickly transforming into a heavy bass. 

“Of course it f*****g is,” he blurted.

He frantically grabbed his purse and a nearby potted plant, which he seemingly was ready to throw at her, before security intervened, forcing him to trot away.

Meanwhile, Rep. Mace had a field day with the gender non-conforming individual after the hilarious encounter.

“He went from soprano to bass all in one breath,” Mace quoted her tweet.

“That deep voice came out of nowhere,” she retweeted.

Lately, violence appears to be the default response from those on the left when debates don’t go their way. Various incidents across the country, such as the recent wave of Tesla arson attacks, calls for the assassination of President Trump and Elon Musk, and glorification of the alleged killers, like the UnitedHealth CEO’s alleged assassin, Luigi Mangione, exemplify the left’s obsession with violence. 

Mace has also been previously targeted by the trans community for her continued effort to protect women’s safe spaces from invasion by biological men.

In February, she sponsored the “Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act,” which aims to prohibit “biological men from using women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and other private, protected facilities on all federal property, including government buildings, national parks, and military installations.”

Her efforts to protect women’s spaces resulted in an attack by a pro-trans man later identified as 33-year-old James McIntyre of Illinois. However, she vowed to press on and not bow to the radical ideology amid increased threats of violence. 

“I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man. One new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it’ll heal just fine.”

“Your trans violence and threats on my life will only make me double down.”

Justice Alito Fires a Scathing Dissent after SCOTUS Blocks Deportation of Venezuelan Alleged Gangbangers

The US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has fired off a blistering dissent against the court’s order to halt the Trump administration’s deportation of Venezuelan illegal immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (AEA).

The court had previously allowed the Trump administration to continue deportations under the act on a limited basis with due process. However, the new ruling halted the deportation of all Venezuelan immigrants until the government receives further instructions from the court.

“The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court,” the unsigned order stated.

In an unexpected turn of events, conservative justices Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett voted in favor of halting the deportations in a 7-2 ruling. However, Justice Clarence Thomas joined Justice Alito in the fiery dissent.

Meanwhile, Justice Alito questioned the timing of the ruling, which he claims was issued “hastily and prematurely” within eight hours of receiving the notice, “literally in the middle of the night” and without giving lower courts time to sort out the facts of the cases.

“[T]he Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order,” he fumed.

“I refused to join the Court’s order because we had no good reason to think that, under the circumstances, issuing an order at midnight was necessary or appropriate,” he continued, adding that “Both the Executive and the Judiciary have an obligation to follow the law.”

The court had intervened after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a request for intervention, claiming that dozens of Venezuelan immigrants, currently numbering about 50, faced an imminent threat of deportation without the opportunity to contest their removal from the country. Law enforcement authorities have linked many of the potential deportees, currently held at the Northern District of Texas’ Bluebonnet Detention Center, with the bloody Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). 

Some had filed an Administrative Procedure Act (APA) complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia challenging their removal. Liberal federal Judge James Boasberg ruled in their favor and gave them a temporary restraining order (TRO) preventing their removal.

However, the Trump administration challenged the decision, arguing that it had given them advance notification, allowing them to challenge their detention and deportation by filing habeas claims. SCOTUS agreed with Trump and trashed Boasberg’s restraining order, paving the way for their eventual removal.

Their attorneys subsequently moved to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and filed a habeas corpus for all Venezuelans pending deportation. However, Judge James Wesley Hendrix failed to grant them a TRO, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld the decision.

Subsequently, they requested the Supreme Court to intervene, which it did without allowing the Trump administration to defend itself. Nonetheless, it allowed the government to file a response after the ruling, which was no less scathing than Alito’s dissent.

“The government has agreed not to remove, pursuant the AEA, those AEA detainees who do file habeas claims (including the putative class representatives),” the admin stated

“This Court should dissolve its current administrative stay and allow the lower courts to address the relevant legal and factual questions in the first instance — including the development of a proper factual record.”

Public School HR Director: Black and Trans Teachers Preferred “No Matter What”

An undercover journalist has exposed a California public school HR Director admitting to race-based hiring practices in violation of the state’s and federal laws on discrimination.

An O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) undercover journalist probed Jonathan Ferrer, the HR Director of California’s Summit Public Schools, about the preferred candidate’s race when presented with equally qualified white and black job candidates.

“You get presented with, on equal merits, like a white person or a black person or whatever-,” the journalist asked before the HR Director interrupted him.

 “Yeah, we’re going with the black person,” Ferrer said.

“Yeah, no matter what,” the journalist implied.

“Yeah, no matter what,” the HR Director confirmed.

The Summit Public Schools HR Director added that black applicants and transgender-identifying individuals were preferred. 

However, selecting a candidate solely based on their race, gender, sexual orientation, or similar attributes violates the U.S. Constitution’s Title VII and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).

“If it’s a person of color, great. If it’s a trans teacher, great. You know?” He stated.

“And I think it’s culturally, we naturally look for those folks,” he added.

When asked if he would hire a Trump supporter or MAGA person, even by accident, the HR Director said they would probably not.

When asked if they would consider hiring a Trump supporter or MAGA person, even unintentionally, the Summit Public Schools HR Director confirmed that it was unlikely.

“You’re hiring MAGA people for staff sometimes, if it just happens?” The journalist further probed.

“I don’t think we would hire them. I don’t think we would,” he replied.

“Oh my God,  I’m talking way too much,” he added.

“I’m feeling so bad. I feel like I’m talking your ear off.”

Additionally, Ferrer is not just an unwilling participant, as he spearheads a DEI program that deals with both students and teachers.

“I lead our DEI efforts in the District, so we have a[n] LGBTQIA+ gender wellness training on Thursday, so I facilitated that.”

OMG’s undercover journalist also asked the Summit Schools HR director if, at certain times, they were looking for “a certain type of person.”

“With the exception, I’ll say what we do look for are, like, dynamics,” Ferrer said. 

He further explained that if a certain department was “all white male,” they may “add a person of color somewhere in the mix” to increase diversity. Although he did not explicitly confirm whether they kept records on racial composition, Ferrer later acknowledged that most teachers were “white females.”

However, Ferrer disclosed they have no DEI quotas, although heartbreakingly, they “have a lot of kids that identify as LGBTQ,” hinting at the potential staggering level of brainwashing.

Nonetheless, he admitted that Summit Public Schools had a DEI questionnaire that would eliminate certain types of candidates, such as conservative candidates.

“We do have DEI questions built into our selection process,” Ferrer said.

“And we have a rubric of, obviously, if they say any of these things, this is not someone who’s answering the question the way we’re aligned to answer the question.”

“So if the candidate or teacher is like, ‘Well, I want to make sure that they [children] learn about conservative values, bla …”

“If they say that during the interview, that’s probably not what we are looking for.”

Meanwhile, Summit Public Schools denies those allegations, saying it was “committed to being an equal opportunity employer” and maintaining a discrimination-free team in accordance with all applicable laws.

“Any allegations of discriminatory conduct or verified misconduct are taken seriously and addressed through established internal procedures,” the school district’s Government Affairs Manager, Valeria Torres, stated.

Still, the HR Director may have said the quiet part out loud — something that is rarely admitted so bluntly in most DEI-oriented institutions.

Meanwhile, O’Keefe Media Group had previously exposed allegations of similar discriminatory practices at casino giant MGM Resorts, after Albie Velarde, the establishment’s Marketing Director in Springfield, MA, said they would “Probably Hire the African American” and “not going to hire them [whites].”

Texas AG Investigates USA Fencing for Disqualifying Female Athlete Who Refused to Fight Trans Fencer

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating USA Fencing after it disqualified a female athlete who refused to compete against a biological male who identifies as a female.

Fencing Academy of Philadelphia’s Stephanie Turner was disqualified after refusing to challenge transgender-identifying Redmond Sullivan at a USA Fencing-sanctioned event at the University of Maryland on March 30. Wagner College’s Sullivan used to compete against men until October 2023, when he started identifying as a woman.

Turner was issued a black card, which represents total disqualification, as “the direct result of her decision to decline to fence an eligible opponent.”

Subsequently, AG Paxton issued a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) to uncover documents that would prove USA Fencing potentially engaged in “false, deceptive, and misleading acts and practices” in violation of Texas consumer laws.

“USA Fencing is on the wrong side of history and potentially the wrong side of the law due to violations of Texas consumer protection laws,” Paxton stated

Paxton added that the practice was not only illegal and insulting but also disenfranchised women who dedicated countless hours to succeed in women’s sports.

“USA Fencing’s policies are not only potentially illegal, but also deeply insulting to the young women like Stephanie Turner who have sacrificed so much and dedicated countless hours to compete and succeed in competitions. I will fight to stop these unfair policies, and I will never back down from defending the integrity of women’s sports.”

Turner’s previous statement corroborated Paxton’s assessment, having described the disqualification as heart-wrenching as she had spent several months preparing for the event.

“I cried so much because I had spent quite a few months training specifically with this in mind,” she told NewsNation.

However, she disclosed that she had vowed to forfeit the tournament if she was pitted against a transgender-identifying individual as she was not willing to keep pretending that all was well.

“I was always nervous about it, because it creates a scene, and it will obviously result in the black card,” she added.

“I don’t want to let people know that I’m OK with this and pretend like nothing’s happening,” Turner continued. “So, that’s when I took the knee.”

Meanwhile, Wagner College says the transgender-identifying athlete is no longer part of its women’s fencing team, and was conspicuously missing from female events.

“We are in full compliance with NCAA and NEC rules and regulations. The fencer is not a member of our fencing team,” Wagner College Spokesperson Jim Chiavelli said.

When Trump signed the executive order banning men in women’s sports, the NCAA swiftly updated its competition guidelines, banning “student-athletes assigned male at birth” from participating on “women’s teams.”

However, USA Fencing is doubling down on allowing biological male athletes to compete against women, saying it was always prepared to “err on the side of inclusion.” Ironically, it was willing to turn a blind eye to women being excluded from their sports by biological men.

By Oct 2024, transgender-identifying athletes had won over 900 medals in various women’s sports.  Two transgender pool players faced off in the UK’s Ultimate Pool Women’s Pro Series Event 2, having displaced all biological female players.

“While we understand there are a range of perspectives, USA Fencing will continue to engage in respectful, research-based dialogue and review as policy evolves in the Olympic and Paralympic movement as well as domestic law,” the fencing body stated. “Hate speech or targeted hate of any kind is not acceptable — online or in person.”

While the event was not held in the Lone Star State, USA Fencing’s failure to comply with Trump’s executive order banning men from women’s sports could hinder its ability to organize tournaments across various institutions and states, including Texas.

“Two Heavy Blows”: Fact-Checkers Struggle After Trump Defunded USAID and Meta Exited

The Censorship Industrial Complex is reeling from financial difficulties after being defunded by the Trump administration and the social media giant Meta.

On this year’s April 2 International Fact-Checking Day, Angie Drobnic Holan, the director of the International Fact-Checking Network Poynter, penned an op-ed decrying the impacts of the Trump and Meta defunding campaign.

“Two heavy blows hit fact-checking in 2025,” she wrote. “In January, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg announced his decision to end its third-party fact-checking in the United States.”

“The other blow came from President Donald Trump’s administration, when billionaire Elon Musk pointed his Department of Government Efficiency at the U.S. Agency for International Development.”

She claimed that the USAID funding freeze “meant an immediate end to funding independent international journalism,” which financially supports fact-checkers in Eastern Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia.

She also lamented the intense political pressure the censorship machinery faces while doing the “honorable” and “patriotic” work “that knows no party or political agenda” under the organization’s “standards for nonpartisanship.”

“The challenges fact-checkers face aren’t just logistical or financial. They are also cultural,” adding that “We must defend the credibility and usefulness of evidence-based reporting.”

Yet, the fact-checking community has been caught red-handed, silencing true stories such as the Hunter Biden Laptop saga, misleading Americans about Trump’s impeachment, the Russian Collusion- the list is endless.

She also inadvertently exposed USAID for overstepping its boundaries by exporting censorship abroad and paying for it using Americans taxpayers’ dollars.

“… groups like USAID thought that funding fact-checking overseas would empower democracy and accountable government.” Most Americans would not wish to pay for censorship in Asia, Latin American, and Africa.

She also denied that “fact-checking is censorship,” terming it as a mischaracterization of their work, and that proponents of free speech wish to perpetuate lies. 

“We’re more like nutrition labels for online content. Nobody thinks a nutrition label on a bag of potato chips or a gallon of milk is censorship.”

“Trump and his supporters want an information environment where lies can multiply and go viral without anyone contradicting them. That is the real infringement on freedom of speech.”

Ironically, Trump was proven right multiple times after being heavily censored by the same machinery that claims accuracy and impartiality. 

For example, the president was heavily criticized for claiming that COVID-19 originated from a lab in Wuhan, China, yet the general consensus now points toward that direction. The New York Times’ editorial board recently regretted being “badly misled” to suppress the story about COVID-19’s origins because it was deemed racist.

Trump was also censored about Hunter’s laptop and Russian collusion but was eventually vindicated by the former first son’s conviction. The Times also lamented not writing about the story, which it now acknowledged more than four years later. 

Several witnesses were also found to have lied about Russiagate, for which Trump was heavily censored. Most news outlets relied on the so-called “accurate” fact-checking platforms like Holan’s to decide on whether to suppress stories. Yet, the fact-checking community still believes Trump was wrong. 

Similarly, despite advocating for fact-checking presidential candidates, the censorship machinery failed to adequately fact-check Biden, essentially suppressing the truth on various issues, such as border security, which was worse than reported.

Meanwhile, the censorship director had a bleak vision of the future amid the ongoing trump onslaught. Subsequently, she requested individual Americans to join the fight “in whatever way they can,” including by donating, subscribing to fact-checking newsletters, and supporting education programs.

“What happens over the next 24 months will be critical to the future of accurate information online.”

“If we want a society that respects truth, now is our time to fight for it.”

Trans Activist Blossom Clashes With Dr. Phil Over Gender Testing, Denies Trans Advantage in Women’s Sports

Talk show host Dr. Phil found himself in an awkward position after hosting a transgender activist who lashed out after he demonstrated that female transgender athletes, biological males who identify as women, have physical advantages over biological females.

The veteran talk show titan hosted a trans activist named Blossom, who was born a man but currently identifies as a woman. The woke activist had previously recommended having gender neutral Olympics and merging paralympics with regular Olympics.

This time, he managed to make an intellectual argument, claiming that even people of the same biological sex have various physical advantages over each other, including bone density, adding that the “perceived” advantage is based on a statistically small transgender population.

He also opposed subjecting women to gender confirmation tests to prove that they were biologically female. So far, no biological female athlete has opposed gender tests. Yet, Democrats continue to claim that they are degrading to women. 

“I think it’s very dangerous when we put all women in a position to be tested to prove that they’re not trans, and that executive order that Donald Trump signed is nothing more than waste and fraud, in my opinion,” the trans activist stated.

“You’re only signing for 0.002% of the population. You are subjecting all women, whether they’re cis or trans, to rigorous tests to prove that they are not trans in order for them to play,” Blossom added.

However, Dr. Phil would have none of that by pointing out that the percentages do not matter when individual trans athletes are erasing years of hard work within minutes. By October 2024, trans athletes had won over 900 medals in women’s sports and displaced over 600 biological female athletes. In contrast, almost no woman who identifies as a man has won any medal in male sports.

Trans athlete Lia Thomas was ranked over 400 in men’s 500-yard freestyle and over 500 in other events. Yet, he managed to smash the women’s record in the same race when he transitioned and competed as a woman. Similarly, transgender cyclist Austin Killips beat the biological female runners-up in the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico cycling race by a whopping 50 minutes and 25 seconds. These extraordinary victories by trans athletes who performed poorly in men’s sports are hardly coincidental.

“I don’t think it’s so much the number of trans athletes, because there can be one athlete that can come into a conference like the Big Sky Conference, for example, and when they come into the Big Sky Conference, that one athlete can really erase a lot of really hard work and devotion and sacrifice that dozens, hundreds of women have spent years working on to achieve athletic heights,” Dr. Phil said.

He proceeded to point out that biological men’s advantage over biological women was “not a matter of opinion” by demonstrating that, on average, biological men have superior grip strength, superior total upper body strength, and higher vertical jumps. However, his statements seemed to trigger the transgender athlete, prompting them to lash out.

“Respectfully Dr. Phil, I’m gonna need you to have several seats. Let’s be clear, trans women, again, are women,” Blossom fumed. 

“What you’re showing me are male statistics and trans women are not males. Everything that I say can actually be proven, it’s scientifically proven, and I would inquire you to do research on what you’re saying, because again it’s almost like you’re trying to call trans-women men and that is not what trans-women are.”

Daring Dr. Phil to provide statistics on transgender vs biological female athletes, the trans activist accused the talk show host of spreading “conservative propaganda” and drinking “the Kool-Aid.” 

“Trans-women work just as hard as women to compete,” Blossom added.

Evidently, the record speaks for itself when almost all transgender female athletes dominate women’s sports, while transgender male athletes have so far failed to win any medals or set records in men’s sports.

Defund the Police Activist Begs for Their Help To Recover Stolen U-Haul Truck

A San Francisco, California, resident’s plea to recover a stolen truck went viral after netizens uncovered her calls to defund the police. “If you see a 26 foot U-Haul truck with the Arizona plate AL50003- would you let me know because it had like everything I own on it,” Darcie Bell posted on X.

Bell filed a police complaint, followed by a social media tirade about them failing to recover her stolen truck immediately. “I haven’t found my sh*t! The cops didn’t do sh*t! U-Haul made me file a f—ing police report!” she told The Washington Post. “There’s cameras all over this city. They haven’t done s—! … I just want my stuff back!”

Despite her predicament, the irony was not lost on social media users when a “Defund the Police” activist complained about their failure to recover her stolen property. “Anti Police activist begs the police to help her after she was robbed…,” posted the San Francisco Bay Area politics account Bay State of Mind.

Two months earlier, Bell had advocated for defunding the police, saying, “We pay them a whole lot to do less.” She was responding to an anti-police campaign that sold the “Defund the Police” masks. She posted an accompanying chart aiming to show that police spending was up in the Bay Area as the already anemic crime clearance rate has gone done – though the chart actually shows police spending decreasing at least 30% from 2019 in inflation-adjusted terms.

In fact, the number of full time cops on the streets there dropped from nearly 1,900 in 2017 to about 1,500 in 2023.

The size of the police’s budget and force aside, San Francisco’s police force has effectively been prevented from doing their jobs due to the far-left progressives on the city council – and even an increase in the number of police wouldn’t stop that.

To save herself from the embarrassment, Bell claimed she did not call the police. She also threatened to respond to tweets calling her out for the hypocrisy with ad hominem attacks. 

An anti-police socialist group called “Defund the San Francisco Police Department Now,” wants the SFPD defunded, disarmed, and disbanded and the funds reinvested in the “Brown and Black communities.” “We must reimagine public safety, defund the police, and refund our communities,” the group says, adding that “roughly 99% of police calls for service are not in response to violence but property crime and non-criminal matters.”

That’s hardly surprising in a world where the overwhelming majority of crimes are non-violent. It’s also worth noting that the average progressive doesn’t think armed robbery is violence as long as nobody gets physically injured.

Ironically, the crime that Bell has fallen victim to is in that “99%” of crimes that defund the police activists don’t think count as real crimes.

Oh well.

AOC, Left-wing extremism, The Squad

AOC’s Squad Is Losing Its Power

The once-mighty “Squad” of far-left Democrats is crumbling as voters reject their radical agenda and embrace common sense.

Squad Shrinks as Voters Show Progressive Pals the Door

In a stunning rebuke to the far-left wing of the Democratic Party, two members of the infamous “Squad” have recently been unceremoniously booted from office by their own constituents. Reps. Cori Bush of Missouri and Jamaal Bowman of New York both lost their primary battles, dealing a massive blow to the progressive movement that has been holding the Democratic Party hostage for years.

The defeat of these radical leftists sends a clear message: Americans are tired of the Squad’s destructive policies and divisive rhetoric. It seems voters have finally woken up to the damage these socialist sympathizers have been inflicting on our great nation.

Pro-Israel Groups Fight Back Against Anti-Semitic Squad

One of the driving forces behind the Squad’s downfall was the massive spending by pro-Israel groups, particularly AIPAC. These patriotic organizations poured nearly $25 million into efforts to unseat Bush and Bowman, exposing their anti-Israel stance and questionable loyalties.

“If you asked any any voter in any of these districts at the start of this cycle, ‘Do you know how your member of Congress voted on the infrastructure bill?’ no one would say yes,” Usamah Andrabi, a spokesman for the progressive Justice Democrats, told The Associated Press. “No one was thinking about a vote that happened three years ago for a bill that passed.”

Well, Mr. Andrabi, it looks like voters were paying attention after all. Maybe it’s time for the Justice Democrats to face justice themselves at the ballot box.

Squad’s Scandals and Missteps Catch Up to Them

It wasn’t just their radical policies that did Bush and Bowman in. Both representatives were embroiled in scandals that likely contributed to their downfall. Bush is currently under investigation by the Justice Department for potentially misusing campaign funds – a classic move from the party that claims to fight for the little guy.

“Mr. Bowman just went a little bit over the top. Some of his comments, a lot over the top. I think he just became his own worst enemy,” said Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.).

Meanwhile, Bowman sealed his fate when he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for pulling a House fire alarm. Apparently, the Squad’s idea of “fighting the system” involves childish pranks that waste taxpayer money and emergency resources.

Moderate Democrats Celebrate as Sanity Returns

With the Squad’s influence waning, moderate Democrats are breathing a sigh of relief. These level-headed lawmakers are regaining strength in primaries and special elections across the country, signaling a return to reason within the party.

“I see this as a member who failed to represent the people who sent him there. And they made a decision that they wanted a different representative,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.).

Even President Biden seems to be distancing himself from the Squad’s extreme positions, shifting rightward on key issues like immigration. It’s about time the Democrats realized that pandering to the far-left fringe is a losing strategy.

The End of an Error

As the dust settles on these primary defeats, it’s clear that the Squad’s days of wielding outsized influence in the House are numbered. Their social media popularity may have garnered attention, but it couldn’t save them from the wrath of voters who are fed up with their destructive agenda.

With the 2024 elections on the horizon, conservatives have reason to celebrate. The Squad’s implosion is just the beginning of what promises to be a reckoning for the radical left. It’s time to take back our country from these socialist wannabes and return to the values that made America great.

New Study Finds DEI Policies In Medicine Are Literally Killing Patients

As the old joke goes; what do you call someone who graduates last in their class in medical school? Doctor.

Common sense suggests that so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)” policies in medicine are risking lives, and the data to support that theory already exists.

Prominent conservative attorney John LeFevre shared a 2022 study on X proving this. Authored by Norwegian professors, the study titled, “Does Your Doctor Matter? Doctor Quality and Patient Outcomes” claims that a standard deviation increase in doctor quality is associated with a 12.2% decline in a patient’s two-year mortality risk.

“Using a lower bound of the predicted value of an additional life year in Norway ($35,000), our results demonstrate that replacing the worst performing GPs (bottom 5 percent of the VA distribution) with GPs of average quality generates a social benefit of $27,417 per patient, $9.05 million per GP, or $934 million in total,” the report’s abstract reads. “At the same time, our results show that higher-quality GPs are associated with a lower per-patient cost.”

LeFerve also shared a picture showing how affirmative action impacts medical school acceptance rates.

As can be gleaned by the chart, Black medical school applicants in the bottom 10% of applicants are accepted into med school at roughly the same rates as whites and Asians from the top 10% of applicants. The American Medical Association limits the number of doctors licensed every year, making this an especially dangerous zero sum game.

Quite simply, if medical professionals are employed based on their qualifications, rather than other measures such as skin color, then patients are likely to receive a better quality of care – though you probably didn’t need to be told that.

Many on social media shared their own harrowing experiences of DEI in medicine.

Another called for the need of artificial intelligence in medicine.

One user also highlighted another profession where DEI is perhaps best avoided.

Biden Treasury Secretary Claims National Debt In a “Reasonable Place”

For decades both parties have opted to kick the can down the road indefinitely when it came to the national debt problem, only ever pretending to care about it – but now the Biden-Harris administration is denying that there is one at all.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who infamously described Bidenflation as “transitory” (and then had to apologize for it) is out with some even more questionable economic arguments. 

According to CNBC: “Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the swelling national debt is manageable as long as it stays around where it is relative to the rest of the economy. ‘If the debt is stabilized relative to the size of the economy, we’re in a reasonable place,’ she told CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin. ‘The way I look at it is that we should be looking at the real interest cost of the debt. That’s really what the burden is.'”

The public share of the national debt as a share of GDP is running at about 97% but is expected to soon top 100% at current spending rates. In other words, the national debt is on track to eclipse the size of the entire U.S. economy’s annual output.

Just this fiscal year alone (starting October 1, 2023), interest costs on the national debt have exceeded $600 billion, which is more than the government spent on healthcare of defense, and four times its education expenditures. In the entirety of the 2023 fiscal year, interest costs were $659 billion.

With the exception of the beginning of the pandemic and other years of the Biden presidency, the prior all-time-high for interest spending on the national debt was $468 billion in 1996 (in inflation adjusted 2024 dollars). Nearly 80% of personal income tax revenue is now going towards servicing interest on the national debt.

Yellen touted President Joe Biden’s plans to supposedly manage the situation he exacerbated by biblical proportions. “In the budget the president presented for this coming fiscal year he proposes $3 trillion of deficit reduction over the next decade,” she said. “That’s sufficient to basically keep the debt to income ratio stable, and this interest burden would be stabilized.”

The budget deficit for 2024 is running at $1.2 trillion with four months left in the fiscal year. In 2023, the shortfall totaled $1.7 trillion.

Hilariously, Biden has claimed to reduce the deficit.

While you probably don’t need to be reminded; anytime anyone hears the words “Biden” and “deficit reduction” they should be skeptical. Two years into the Biden presidency the national debt has surged by $4 trillion – yet if you listened to Biden you’d be believing that it went down by $1.7 trillion, a bogus claim he’s repeated on numerous occasions.

There is an appearance of truth to the claim if one doesn’t dive deeper into the figures; the budget deficit fell from $2.8 trillion to $1.4 trillion from fiscal year 2021-2022 for instance, accounting for most of the claimed $1.7 trillion reduction. However, in that same time period there was a $1.45 trillion drop in spending (104% of the deficit reduction) due to COVID programs either shrinking or expiring. And those are programs that would shrink or expire even if Trump were still in office, so it’s hardly anything Biden can take credit for, as he didn’t actually do anything. 

Similarly, the Biden administration has pointed to the deficit of $2.8 trillion in fiscal year 2021 as being $360 billion lower than the $3.1 trillion deficit in Trump’s last year in office. But again, the deficit was supposed to decline by more if Biden had done nothing. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the deficit would’ve declined by $870 billion if the Biden administration didn’t implement any new policies and Trump’s remained in place. Or in other words, Biden contributed a disguised net $510 billion to the deficit that year.

Every single time the Biden administration has made claims about reducing the debt or deficit they’ve been lying with statistics – and it seems unlikely they’d start telling the truth now.
