Detransitioned Texas woman SUES Texas Health for PERMANENT DISFIGUREMENT– 'I thought I was going to die'



At just 21 years old, Soren Aldaco is suing the medical facility that botched her double mastectomy for gross malpractice. Aldaco claims that the procedure has left her with “permanent disfigurement” and “profound psychological scarring.”

Aldaco was first exposed to transgenderism online at age 11.

“Shocker,” says Sara Gonzales, rolling her eyes.

Aldaco began identifying as a boy at age 11 and started cross-sex hormone therapy at age 17 under the recommendation of Dr. Dell Scott Perry, who “did not consult her parents or inform her of potential complications,” Sara reports.

He also “prescribed cross-sex hormones at an excessively high dosage” and apparently “[attended] meetings for transgender children,” eventually becoming “the cross-sex hormone provider for most of the children in adolescence who frequented the group.”

“But don’t worry,” Sara mocks. “It’s not about the profit for these doctors. They really just care; they really just want children to feel like they’re in the right body, that’s all.”

Dr. Dell Scott Perry also allegedly “encouraged [Aldaco] to take outrageously large off-label doses of testosterone without properly discussing her mental health issues and the risks it poses to biological women,” Sara notes.

“Good for her for suing!” says Sara.

She then plays a clip of Aldaco discussing the horror of what she went through.

“I could not have wrapped my head around what it would be like for them to cut my incisions back open and manually drain the blood clots from my chest cavity,” Aldaco says.

“At the time, I thought I was gonna’ die,” she continues, adding, “The wound was getting infected and no one seemed to really care.”

“This is the only way,” Sara says, “that this stops – through lawsuits,” because doctors like Dell Scott Perry “only care about money.”

DOJ sues Roger Stone and wife for $2M in unpaid taxes, alleging fraud



The Justice Department sued longtime Trump ally Roger Stone and his wife, Nydia, in a civil lawsuit on Friday, alleging the couple owes unpaid taxes plus interest and penalties to the tune of nearly $2 million.

The feds accuse the Stones of using fraudulent measures to dodge paying up, but Mr. Stone says the suit is "politically motivated."

What are the details?

The complaint filed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, claims that the Stones underpaid their taxes in the years 2007 through 2011, and in 2018, and that they owe roughly $1.997 million in unpaid taxes, fines and interest.

NBC News noted that "the government also said the Stones at one point entered into an agreement to cover taxes owed through monthly installments of nearly $20,000, but stopped paying."

The suit also accuses the Stones of moving more than $1 million of their personal funds to an LLC they own, called Drake Ventures, which the DOJ says "evaded and frustrated the IRS's collection efforts."

The Stones then allegedly paid "a substantial amount of their personal expenses" from the Drake Ventures accounts, according to the feds.

The lawsuit further states:

Although they used funds held in Drake Ventures accounts to pay some of their taxes, the Stones' use of Drake Ventures to hold their funds allowed them to shield their personal income from enforced collection and fund a lavish lifestyle despite owing nearly $2 million in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties.

The suit was "commenced at the direction of the Attorney General of the United States," Merrick Garland.

Roger Stone was a target of the Mueller investigation, under which he was found guilty of lying to Congress and was sentenced to 40 months in prison. But former President Trump commuted his sentence in July 2020 before he served any prison time. Trump then pardoned Stone before he left the White House.

In reaction to the DOJ's lawsuit, Stone told the Associated Press on Friday:

"The Internal Revenue Service is well aware of the fact that my three-year battle for freedom against the corrupted Mueller investigation has left me destitute. They're well aware that I have no assets and that their lawsuit is politically motivated. It's particularly interesting that my tax attorneys were not told of this action, filed at close of business on a Friday. The American people will learn, in court, that I am on the verge of bankruptcy and that there are no assets for the government to take."

San Francisco school board member sues after being removed as VP over anti-Asian tweets



The former vice president of the San Francisco School Board has filed a lawsuit against the district and her fellow board commissioners after she was booted from leadership over controversial comments she made against Asian Americans.

What are the details?

Alison Collins came under fire nationally last month after a group seeking to recall several school board members due to their refusal to re-open schools released several of the then-vice president's 2016 tweets expressing anti-Asian views and calling those who did not speak out against former President Donald Trump as "house" N-words.

Collins, who is African American, also said that many Asian Americans use "white supremacist thinking" to "get ahead."

Soon after, the school board voted to strip her of her leadership position, citing her Twitter comments.

In reaction, Collins has filed a lawsuit seeking $87 million in damages from the district and the five fellow board members who voted for removing her as vice president of their panel.

The San Francisco Gate reported that the lawsuit claims the resolution stripping Collins of her leadership was illegal and violated her First Amendment rights.

"Rather than take actions to protect Black and Brown children from racist harassment and bullying, defendants opted to 'burn' the messenger, using a pretzel-twisted redirection of Ms. Collins' seasoned social metaphors aimed at uniting all marginalized, colonized and racially oppressed people against racism and oppression," the suit reads.

It also alleges that removing Collins from her role as vice president caused "irreparable injury, loss and damage to Ms. Collins, including damage to her reputation and standing in the community."

Collins and her supporters also staged a demonstration outside the San Francisco United School District headquarters on Wednesday afternoon to protest the board's action against her.

During the rally, Collins continued to defend her position, saying, "I will unapologetically pursue equity and empowerment of Black, Latin, Asian, Arab, and other communities regardless of the opportunistic and meritless attacks directed towards me."

KGO-TV reported that "while many spoke to support [Collins] Wednesday outside the district headquarters, at one point she was interrupted by a man yelling 'resign,' to which the crowd began to chant."

Attorney Charles Bonner, who is representing Collins in the suit, declared, "We demand to have a special meeting and restore Alison to her seat. They will take no further action against Alison. They can do what we say, then this lawsuit gets shredded."

The SFUSD did not immediately respond to requests for comment from KGO or The Gate, saying they had just been made aware of the lawsuit. KGO noted that "San Francisco Mayor London Breed and 10 of 11 San Francisco Supervisors have previously called for Collins to resign."

Carter Page sues FBI, DOJ, and individuals behind FISA abuse



Former 2016 Trump campaign adviser Carter Page has filed a massive lawsuit against the U.S. government as well as agencies and individuals responsible for illegally spying on him using Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act orders.

What are the details?

The Federalist reported Friday that Page is seeking "no less than $75 million from the U.S. government, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigations," and individuals involved with Operation Crossfire Hurricane, including fired FBI Director James Comey, fired assistant director Andrew McCabe, fired FBI deputy assistant director of counterintelligence Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.

The complaint argues, in part:

The FBI did not have probably cause to lawfully obtain a FISA warrant [against Dr. Page]. Instead, the FBI used documents furnished by Christopher Steele, a Confidential Human Source ("CHS"). As the Crossfire Hurricane team knew, CHS Steele has been paid by the Democratic Party and/or the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign to perform "political opposition research" and dig up dirt on a connection between the Trump campaign and Russia in order to divert attention from the investigation of Clinton's email practices while she was Secretary of State.

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a report last year detailing problems found in the FISA process after investigating the FBI's probe into President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

As TheBlaze previously reported:

The report also notes "17 significant errors" in the Carter Page FISA applications and "many additional errors" in the procedures that guide the FISA process. "These errors and omissions resulted from case agents providing wrong or incomplete information to OI [the Office of Intelligence] and failing to flag important issues for discussion," the report notes.

Following the release of Howoritz's findings, chief FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer issued a scathing rebuke of the FBI's handling of applications to spy and surveil Page, saying that other FISA applications now fall under question, writing: "The frequency with which representations made by FBI personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession, and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable."

The Washington Examiner pointed out that Carter Page was never charged with any wrongdoing. The outlet further noted that McCabe signed off on the final FISA application to surveil Page.

Strzok and Lisa Page — former lovers whose anti-Trump text messages to one another fed speculation that Crossfire Hurricane was politically motivated — were key members of the probe. Both of them have also sued the FBI since leaving the agency.

DOJ sues former aide of First Lady Melania Trump over tell-all book



The U.S. Department of Justice has filed suit against Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former aide to First Lady Melania Trump, alleging that she violated their nondisclosure agreement by penning a tell-all book and publishing it without first allowing the federal government to sign off on the draft.

What are the details?

Reuters reported:

In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, Justice Department lawyers said Winston Wolkoff, a former aide who fell out with the first lady, failed to submit to government review a draft of her book, "Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady," which offers an unflattering portrayal of President Donald Trump's wife.

According to the lawsuit, Winston Wolkoff signed a Gratuitous Services Agreement "wherein Ms. Wolkoff promised to maintain strict confidentiality over 'nonpublic, privileged and/or confidential information' that she might obtain during her service" as an adviser to the first lady.

Politico reported that the DOJ is asking a federal judge to "divert all proceeds from the sale of Wolkoff's book, 'Melania and Me,' to the federal government, a consequence of her alleged 'breach of contract.'"

Ms. Wolkoff argues that she has every right to talk about her experiences as a matter of free speech, telling NBC News of her book, "It's my story. It's my life. I've been gagged for too long."

"The White House, President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, the Trump administration have been the source of false, misleading and defamatory information about me," she continued. "I am defending myself against the defamatory falsehoods according to my constitutional rights to defend my reputation and set the record straight."

Anything else?

The case is reminiscent of when the DOJ sued former national security adviser John Bolton over the summer in an attempt to stop him from publishing his own book divulging his experiences in the Trump administration. In the lawsuit, the federal government argued that Bolton's book, "The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir," would jeopardize national security.

Unlike Wolkoff, Bolton did submit a draft of his book for review by the federal government, but copies were distributed to retailers by Bolton's publisher prior to receiving the all-clear from authorities.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth agreed to allow Bolton's book to be published, saying that "the horse, as we used to say in Texas, seems to be out of the barn."
