After President Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election and his long-awaited inauguration this month, America seems to be set firmly on a path of pure unadulterated winning.
And one of those major wins comes after Trump signed an executive order to end transition surgeries for minors in America — and Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” couldn’t be more hopeful.
“It was my great honor to sign an executive order banning the chemical castration and medical mutilation of innocent children in the United States of America. Our nation will no longer fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support so-called gender affirming care, which has already ruined far too many precious lives,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“My order directs agencies to use every available means to cut off federal financial participation in institutions which seek to provide these barbaric medical procedures that should have never been allowed to take place,” he added.
“There is light again in this country,” Gonzales comments, thrilled. “There’s no middle ground. We can’t sterilize an entire generation. We can’t chop healthy body parts off of children. We can’t do that. And so the idea, obviously, is that the federal government was participating in this in such a way and instructing insurance companies and all of this to cover it.”
And she thinks it’s time for Congress to step up and help Trump permanently put this order into law.
“I would like to see Congress go ahead and act on this, because we need them to actually do the jobs that they signed up to do, rather than allow Donald Trump to just rule by executive order. Back him up a little bit here,” she says.
“Let’s go ahead and make it resoundingly clear that this country will no longer tolerate ruining and sterilizing an entire generation,” she continues, adding, “I would love to see RFK Jr. get confirmed and then start putting these demons in their place. Cut them off from the medical system, disbar them, whatever the hell you have to do.”

Joe Rogan sings praises of Josh Seiter’s transgender troll
After convincing the world he was a transwoman, former "Bachelorette" hopeful Josh Seiter has proven himself to be a master troll. In fact, he was so good at it that Joe Rogan even praised him on an episode of his podcast with famous comedian Theo Von.
“He said it was all a social experiment on an episode of a conservative podcast, ‘Prime Time with Alex Stein.’ Seiter said the purpose was to expose how gullible and delusional the left is. ‘What I did is I faked being a faker,’” Rogan explained to Von, quoting Seiter.
“The whole reason I did my trans troll was the principle of it, that there’s a very real and present danger of trans people trying to brainwash children with this cult, and so whatever we have to do to get the word out is amazing, and Joe has one of the biggest platforms in the world, and so for him to mention the work that I did and the points that were made in it, I’m grateful for it,” Seiter tells Stein.
“I got a phone call today from a pretty famous TikTok star, and he said, ‘Hey, Josh, you know what’s crazy about Joe Rogan talking about this is it’s one thing to be praised by the far right, it’s one thing to be praised by the alt-right,’ he said, ‘but when you have a moderate and a libertarian like Joe Rogan singing your praises and saying that what you did was good, that speaks volumes,’” Seiter continues.
“So I don’t know, I think it hits a little harder when someone like Joe agrees with it,” he adds.
Stein couldn’t agree more.
“I mean, the biggest publications wrote about you, but, like, an article that gets shared on Twitter, this is kind of a bigger deal because it’s in the cultural consciousness of society. The fact that you got mentioned on Joe Rogan is bigger than an article from the Daily Mail, in my opinion,” he tells Seiter.
While Rogan did also mention articles that bring up Seiter’s checkered past, Seiter isn’t concerned with them.
“That article is trying to say that somehow Josh Seiter is a grifter, but the hundreds of thousands of other men throwing on makeup and wearing dresses aren’t grifters. And so I guess by their logic, you just have to be mentally ill enough and then it stops being a grift,” Seiter says.
“I guess I’m too logical to be a true trans person in their eyes,” he adds.

Josh Seiter FAKED being trans to troll the left
Alex Stein was right.
A few months ago, he called out former "Bachelorette" star Josh Seiter for faking his gender transition in order to troll the world — and Seiter is now confirming Stein’s original suspicions.
“Well, I’ve got to be honest. For the last five months I’ve been conducting a social experiment online to expose how gullible and how delusional the left is,” Seiter tells Stein of “Prime Time with Alex Stein.”
“You were accepted by some, you were demonized by most, and now you’re saying this was all a ruse, this was a social experiment,” Stein says. “So, what you did is arguably one of the greatest social experiments of our modern internet age in my opinion.”
“Any biological man putting on woman-face and putting on makeup is pulling a stunt,” Seiter explains. “They are faking being a woman. And, so what I did was I faked being a faker. I pretended to be a pretender. We are all the same. We’re all men that were putting on makeup and dressing and claiming we were women.”
“And I hope that this could help some people understand that just because you put on dresses and makeup as a man, doesn’t magically make you a woman,” he adds.
Stein, who has put on tuck-friendly bathing suits in Target and pretended to be transgender for a short period of time himself in order to drive that same point home, is impressed by Seiter’s dedication to his experiment.
“You actually stayed in character for months on end, did multiple interviews, went on multiple shows,” Stein says. “Behind closed doors, I’m sure you didn’t pretend to be a woman, but you stayed in character every moment even when you’re just talking to somebody casually. So really, you’re an incredible actor Josh.”
“I think any trans person is an incredible actor. They’re all pretending to be something they’re not,” Seiter responds. “I hope I showed how ridiculous and absurd it is.”

Will Ferrell’s transgender flick unintentionally disproves it's own narrative
Will Ferrell released a new Netflix documentary that explores the relationship between Ferrell and his “transgender” friend Andrew Steele, who now identifies as “Harper” — and it’s every bit as delusional as you might assume.
“We always say ‘quote unquote’ or ‘so-called’ or ‘what’s referred to’ because there’s no such thing as transitioning. Your gender and sex are one and the same. They’re not two different categories,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” comments.
“Now we’ve got a Netflix series saying that a man who has lived as a man his entire life is now a woman and should be accepted as a woman and should be able to go into women’s spaces to be regarded as a woman,” she says, adding, “and Will Ferrell is just like ‘It’s no big deal, who cares, like he’s just happy.’”
And recent comments made by Ferrell make his deluded take on the matter abundantly clear.
“There is hatred out there. It’s very real and it’s very unsafe for trans people in certain situations. But I don’t know why trans people are meant to be threatening to me as a cis-male,” Ferrell said.
The famous actor also reportedly said that “it’s strange” to him because “Harper is finally her.”
“If the trans community is a threat to you, I think it stems from not being confident or safe with yourself,” he added.
“Remember, Will Ferrell is a multi-millionaire who has already made his career in Hollywood. He’s a man himself, and he has sons, and so these people who always claim they’re on the side of empathy I guess have a hard time understanding why we as women, as moms and parents who have daughters, why we would not want these men entering our spaces,” Stuckey says.
While the film itself sets out to claim that transgenders are hated across the country, especially in red states, the film ends up disproving their own narrative.
“Steele is treated warmly by people all over the country. Which I think is good, like I do think just in a personal interaction you can treat anyone, no matter who they are, warmly,” Stuckey says, noting that if the tables were turned, the reception might not be so friendly.
“If you made a documentary of someone with a MAGA hat,” she says, “and he went to a bar in New York, I guarantee you he would probably be physically assaulted because remember, politics is the religion of the left. It is their theology.”
Not only does the film disprove its own narrative but the questions being asked by Ferrell appear intentionally surface-level in order to keep “Harper” from facing any legitimate critiques.
“The questions that are being asked by Will Ferrell aren’t like, ‘Okay, so you’re going to share a bathroom with these women?’ The questions are just like, ‘How do you feel? Does this make you happy? Are you your authentic self?” Stuckey explains.
“We live in a world that says all of your feelings are valid. All of your feelings are not valid. They may all be real, but valid means they’re rooted in truth. Some of our feelings are just downright lies,” she adds.

Virginia women’s college will no longer admit trans students, citing founder’s will
Sweet Briar College, a women’s school in Virginia, recently announced that it will no longer admit trans-identifying students, citing its founder’s Will.
The private women’s liberal arts school, which was established in 1901 through the estate of Indiana Fletcher Williams, did not previously have any policies regarding gender identity. However, recent changes to the Common Application, a nonprofit organization that allows students to apply to schools on one standardized form, prompted the college to make some changes of its own.
'Understands the term [women] in its historic and traditional way.'
In addition to “female” and “male,” the Common Application, used by more than 1,000 colleges, now allows students to select “X” or “another legal sex.”
According to Jenny Rickard, the nonprofit’s president and chief executive officer, the updates “represent the next step in an ongoing effort to create an equitable, just, and inclusive college admission process for all students -- no matter how they identify.”
In a message to the campus, Sweet Briar College leaders wrote that the changes to the application have “present[ed] a challenge both for students applying for admission and administrators and staff making admissions decisions.”
“Previously, the College did not have a stated admissions policy addressing applicants identifying as other genders, but instead addressed applicants on a case-by-case basis,” the college’s correspondence explained. “This year, however, the Common Application included additional options for the selection of the legal sex … of applicants apart from male or female, creating confusion for applicants seeking to apply to a women’s college like Sweet Briar.”
“In fact, various parts of the Common Application now include as many as four gender … designations,” the college added.
Sweet Briar College noted that the institution is in a “unique position as the only women’s college in the country that was founded by and governed in accordance with a will that has been codified into law by the state’s legislature.” That Will, belonging to the school’s founder, Fletcher Williams, was “codified by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia on February 9, 1901, as the College’s Charter.”
According to the school, the board “must honor the dictates of the Will, which imposes the requirement that the College be a place of ‘girls and young women’ – a phrase that must be interpreted as it was understood at the time the Will was written.”
The college told Inside Higher Ed that while “political and other influences” have called “the meaning of the term ‘woman’ into question,” the board “understands the term [women] in its historic and traditional way consistent with the intentions of our founder.”
Some students and alumnae have vowed to push back on the college’s declaration.
English professor and faculty senate chairman John Gregory Brown stated that the faculty voted 48-4 to urge the board to rescind the policy.
“It really excludes any student who would be offended by those positions ... who doesn’t want to be in a place where discrimination is codified in this way,” Brown told the Independent. “I think it’s a financially disastrous decision for the college.”

3 important facts Christians need to know about Tim Walz
Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Tuesday that she selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) to be her running mate.
Walz, a far-left governor, self-identifies as a "Minnesota Lutheran," though he rarely discusses his faith publicly, according to the Religion News Service. Walz, moreover, refers to Pilgrim Lutheran Church in St. Paul as "my parish." That church is a congregation in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, one of the most progressive and liberal Christian denominations in the United States.
'The Harris-Walz ticket is the most radical on abortion and gender ideology in American history.'
But what should Christians know about his policy positions and record as governor of Minnesota?
1. Abortion
Walz is unabashedly pro-abortion, in both rhetoric and policy.
For example, two bills that Walz signed into law last year make Minnesota one of the most pro-abortion states in America.
The first bill, the Protect Reproductive Options Act, codified into Minnesota law a "fundamental right ... to obtain an abortion." The bill imposes no limits on abortion. Minnesota, in fact, is one of just seven states (and Washington, D.C.) that imposes no legal gestational limit on abortions. The second bill, Minnesota Senate Bill 2995, essentially eliminated "nearly all the protective and modestly pro-life features of existing Minnesota law," according to National Review.
"Abortion is health care," Walz said earlier this year.
If you combine Walz's radical pro-abortion views and record with Harris', then you generate "the most pro-abortion presidential ticket America has ever seen," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America.
2. LGBTQ agenda
Not only does Walz support the LGBTQ agenda, but he has turned Minnesota into a "trans refuge."
Last year, Walz signed a bill — the so-called "Trans Refuge" Act — and an executive order protecting so-called "gender-affirming" procedures for children while prohibiting legal action against people who travel to Minnesota for so-called "gender-affirming" care.
Walz has also banned "conversion therapy."
There is, of course, also the law that requires period products to "be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12." This means that boys' bathrooms in Minnesota schools do make available pads and tampons.
Walz, moreover, is described by his critics as "anti-parent."
Walz's record on issues related to the LGBTQ agenda has earned him high praise from GLAAD, which released a statement on Tuesday celebrating his "proven record" on these issues.
3. COVID pandemic and religious freedom
Walz, like many other Democratic governors, instituted harsh restrictions on residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
But Walz took heat from Christians during the pandemic for enacting policies they argued were religiously discriminatory. Case in point: In May 2020, Walz signed an executive order allowing retail shops to re-open at 50% capacity — while still prohibiting in-person religious gatherings to 10 people.
After pushback from Catholic and Lutherans — who promised to buck Walz's restrictions — Walz allowed churches to re-open at 25% capacity.
"Governor Walz, a former teacher, gets an F in religious liberties," said Erick Kaardal, special counsel at the Thomas More Society.
Levi Secord, pastor of Christ Bible Church in Minnesota, added of Walz's record on religious freedom:
Walz and Democrats in Minnesota sought to coerce religious institutions to hire against their sincerely held beliefs. Democrats enacted a change to employment law that would have forced religious institutions, including churches, to hire against their beliefs about sexuality and gender. Thanks to a groundswell of opposition from local churches, this was eventually reversed. Sadly, under a new proposed amendment, Walz’s party is trying again to undermine religious liberty.
Earlier this year, however, Walz did sign a law that clarified religious protections under the state's Human Rights Act.
"Governor Tim Walz is a radical progressive," said Dr. Andrew Walker, a professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
"There's no way to downplay the fact of this. He's aggressively pushed some of the most pro-trans and anti-religious liberty policies in the United States," Walker explained. "Don't take the bait on the grandfatherly Midwest persona. Christians, please be clear-eyed about the anti-human agenda on the Democratic ticket."
The Minnesota Family Counsel explained, "The Harris-Walz ticket is the most radical on abortion and gender ideology in American history."

Camera captures moment FBI agents show up at whistleblower's home after she helps expose sex-change program at Texas hospital
The FBI dispatched two agents to the home of a Texas nurse after she spoke to journalist Christopher Rufo about the sex-change program at Texas Children's Hospital.
Last year, Rufo broke news about an elaborate sex-change program happening at Texas Children's Hospital. A whistleblower gave Rufo documents proving the hospital continued its "transgender medicine" operations despite publicly saying the program had ended. That whistleblower was Dr. Eithan Haim, whom the Justice Department has now indicted on four felony charges for allegedly violating medical privacy laws.
'They promised they would make life difficult for me if I was trying to protect the leaker.'
Haim's bravery encouraged a second whistleblower to come forward.
Last May, that whistleblower provided new insight into how physicians at Texas Children's Hospital provided "transgender medicine," explained how "transgender medicine is highly lucrative," and described her workplace as having a "demonic presence."
On Tuesday, Rufo revealed the identity of the whistleblower, registered nurse Vanessa Sivadge.
In the new report, Sivadge accused Texas Children's Hospital of engaging in Medicaid fraud.
"The largest children's hospital in the country is illegally billing Medicaid for transgender procedures," she said. "It is evident that the hospital continues to believe it is above the law not just by concealing the existence of their transgender medicine program from the public, but by stealing from the federal government."
What is shocking is what happened to Sivadge after she initially spoke to Rufo.
Two months after their conversation, Sivadge called Rufo in a "panic," he recounted. Sivadge told Rufo that two FBI agents unexpectedly showed up at her home wanting to talk about "some of the things that have been going on at work lately."
Sivadge's doorbell camera captured her partner opening the door to their home as two FBI agents flashed their badges and demanded to speak with Sivadge.
(You can view that footage here).
According to Sivadge, the FBI agents told her that she was a "person of interest" in the investigation into Dr. Haim.
"They promised they would make life difficult for me if I was trying to protect the leaker," Sivadge told Rufo. "They said I was ‘not safe’ at work and claimed that someone at my workplace had given my name to the FBI."
In the months since that visit, FBI agents have not re-appeared at her home. Still, Sivadge told Rufo that she is motivated to fight against the transgender agenda.
"My faith and my gut, just knowing right from wrong, compels me," she said. "I was born for this. I have no doubt this is what I am supposed to do."
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has confirmed that his office is investigating the newest whistleblower allegations.

Trans-identifying athlete who caused injuries at girls’ basketball game ‘caught staring’ at topless female: Report
The trans-identifying high school athlete who caused multiple injuries during a February girls’ basketball game was previously suspended from a rowing team after the male was “caught staring” at a topless female changing in the locker room, the Daily Mail reported.
What’s the background?
The Collegiate Charter School of Lowell in Massachusetts opted to forfeit a basketball game against KIPP Academy Lynn on February 8 after three of its players were benched due to injuries, Blaze News previously reported.
According to the charter school, the remaining players on the team “expressed concern” to their coach that they may also sustain injuries if they continued.
“The players feared getting injured and not being able to compete in the playoffs,” the charter school stated.
A male, trans-identifying KIPP Academy Lynn player, who is reportedly over six feet tall and has facial hair, was allegedly responsible for causing multiple injuries throughout the game.
A video of one of the game’s plays showed the KIPP Academy Lynn athlete ripping the basketball away from a female opponent, causing her to fall to the ground. She then appears to fail to stand up as she clutches her back in pain, according to the video.
Following the incident, the charter school released a statement supporting its coach’s decision to forfeit the game, noting the “roughness of [the] play” that was caught on video.
KIPP Academy “condemn[ed] harmful comments being made online toward members of our community.” The male player, believed to be 17 or 18 years old, is reportedly on the school’s girls’ volleyball team and track team.
Athlete booted from rowing team
A March 20, 2024, report sent to the United States Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee by Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy from Louisiana revealed that the trans-identifying male athlete was previously suspended from a “private, free-standing rowing league” in Massachusetts governed by the United States Rowing Association, according to a parent.
The parent told the committee that the male athlete was permitted to join the women’s varsity crew team but was removed after “caus[ing] many issues for the female athletes.”
“The male athlete was also allowed to use the women’s locker room in accordance with USA Rowing [USRowing] policy,” the report read. “The female athletes avoided using the locker room, but nonetheless a few months later, the male athlete was caught staring openly at one of the female athletes while she changed her clothes in the women’s locker room and remarked, ‘oooh t*****s!’ When a female athlete nearby asked if it was the first time he had seen female breasts, the male responded, ‘uhh yeah’ with a laugh. The male athlete was suspended for this incident.”
The report called the incident a “direct case of harassment.”
Fifteen parents penned a letter to USRowing in October 2022 claiming their children were “intimidated” into silence, the Quillette reported. According to the parents, the male athlete joined the female rowing team after placing “near the bottom” on the club’s male team. Parents claimed that the athlete did not shave or make any other attempts to appear more feminine, noting he also continued to wear the male club’s uniform.
“Our daughters have stayed quiet because they are afraid,” parents wrote, according to Quillette. “Name-calling and the threat of mental health is being used as emotional blackmail to keep us all quiet while women are harmed and devalued. ... Our daughters also faced a locker room situation where they were uncomfortable. ... They stopped changing in the locker room and began to hide away. These young girls should never have been put through being told they had to face a male body everyday as they undressed.”
“The rowing team also required the male athlete to room with them on trips. The girls spoke to us about quitting rowing because of the intimidation of being forced to be in a hotel room alone with a male,” the parents added.

Indeed is paying $10,000 for workers to relocate so long as they are transvestites or have kids who've rejected their biological sex
Indeed, among the world's top job sites, is offering to help pay for employees to relocate. Not all employees, however; just those who reject the reality of their biological sex and those workers whose children are purportedly "gender non-conforming, transgender or non-binary."
The woke company told Axios that it internally announced this relocation benefit accommodating the reality-averse in July, but is only just now discussing it publicly.
$10,000 will reportedly be awarded to any transvestic, U.S.-based worker who seeks so-called "gender-affirming care" — a euphemism for destructive hormone therapies and genital mutilation procedures — but presently lives in an area where state laws or other government directives hinder the worker in obtaining it.
The same benefit similarly applies to workers seeking to move their gender-dysphoric kids out of areas that presently protect children from undergoing irreversible "gender-affirming care."
Bloomberg reported that the company, where at least one executive cites "queen" as a preferred pronoun, will also cover any tax liability created by the payment.
Extra to boosting ESG scores and placating LGBT activists, it appears that this initiative has something also to do with retention.
"Our transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming colleagues are integral to our business and culture at Indeed," Misty Gaither, vice president of DEI at the company, told Axios. "We know employees thrive and do their best work when they can bring their authentic selves to work. ... We also believe that everyone has the right to make the healthcare decisions that they feel are right for themselves and their families."
Among the handful of workers who have so far taken advantage is 30-year-old Sam Burger, a content creator at the company who used to go by Magdalene but now uses plural pronouns. She reportedly used the handout to leave Austin, Texas, for Denver, Colorado, which she figured would be a better fit. Bloomberg indicated the $10,000 has gone a long way, especially since the move has cost Burger roughly only $5,000 to date.
"As soon as I found out that I was getting the money, it was very much like a weight lifted," she said.
It's unclear how the sincerity of claimants is assessed and whether normal employees might be able to exploit the benefit simply by claiming to be transvestites.
Gaither, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, noted in the company's 2023 DEI report, "We're focused on making progress towards our goal to increase representation of women and underrepresented genders (URG) to 50% at all levels of Indeed's global workforce, and increase U.S. workforce representation of underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities (URM) to 30% by 2030."
