Democratic Senate hopeful previously backed gender transitions for prisoners and illegal aliens



Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio, a Democrat who mounted a White House bid during the last presidential election cycle and who is currently running for U.S. Senate during the 2022 midterms, indicated on a 2019 ACLU presidential candidate questionnaire that as president, he would seek to ensure that transgender individuals who rely on the government for medical services — including prisoners and individuals in immigration detention — would have access to gender transition measures.

The "Yes" checkbox is marked on Ryan's questionnaire in response to a question that asked, "As President will you use your executive authority to ensure that transgender and non-binary people who rely on the state for medical care — including those in prison and immigration detention — will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care?"

Ryan is currently running for U.S. Senate in the Buckeye State against Republican J.D. Vance.

"Taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgeries for illegal immigrants: you really cannot get more radical than that," a Vance campaign spokesperson noted in a statement, according to Fox News Digital. "Tim Ryan has spent this entire campaign lying to Ohioans about his record and trying to convince them he's a moderate. The truth is that he's just a far-left, woke liberal who wants to waste taxpayer money on insane ideas like this. He doesn't belong anywhere near the U.S. Senate."

GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, a pariah in the Republican Party who lost a primary contest earlier this year to Trump-backed Republican candidate Harriet Hageman, said on Tuesday that she "would not vote for J.D. Vance." When asked whether she would vote for Ryan if she were an Ohio voter, Cheney replied, "I would."

On the 2019 questionnaire, Ryan also answered "Yes" on a question that asked if he would "commit to ending the use of ICE detainers."

He also answered in the affirmative on a question asking whether he would "commit to supporting D.C. statehood."

Granting statehood to Washington D.C. would likely hand Democrats two reliably blue seats in the Senate chamber — D.C. has gone blue in every presidential election since the ratification of the 23rd Amendment.

Prisoner threatens to 'beat the s**t out of a peace officer' — believe it or not to game the system and benefit from policies of pro-prisoner DA



After Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón was sworn in to his new gig late last year, he immediately began making headlines for his radical policies.

For starters, Gascón — whose campaign was backed by George Soros money — announced he would do away with cash bail, not pursue prosecution enhancements for gangs and guns, and not seek the death penalty for any offenses.

Now what?

Well, Gascón's policies appear to be coming back to bite him in an uncomfortable place.

Turns out a California prisoner with a lengthy criminal history — including attempted pre-meditated murder — is trying to game the system by using Gascón's policies in order to get his sentence reduced, KCBS-TV reported.

The station said Daniel Avila left a voicemail at Gascón's office in which he threatened to attack a police officer during a prison transfer in order to get back into court so he can request the revocation of his previous sentence enhancements — right in line with Gascón's goals.

"And when I get off the bus, I'm going to beat the s**t out of a peace officer, once I get off the bus," Avila said, according to KCBS.

More from the station:

Avila has been jailed on a slew of felony charges that date back to 2005 when he was arrested in Ventura County on suspicion of fraud and identity theft. Since being imprisoned, he has been convicted of 20 felony offenses — all committed while in prison — including charges of attempted pre-meditated murder and multiple counts of assault on a peace officer with a deadly weapon.

"My case is subject to the new special directive under Gascón," Avila added in the voicemail, the station said. "Ninety percent of it is enhancements, and I am trying to get back into court, OK? And, the thing is, is that, I don't want to do this."

He also said, "I'll plead guilty to it as long as you drop all the strike priors and the enhancements and everything in my other case, and we'll just do it that way," KCBS added.

The station said it reached out to Gascón's office about the voicemail but has yet to receive a response.

Anything else?

It would seem Gascón has his hands full at the moment. Last week, a judge partially ruled against his sweeping criminal justice reform package, declaring that some of his directives violated California law and would have placed his deputy district attorneys in legal and ethical jeopardy — and the ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by Gascón's own deputy district attorneys.
