The number of people identifying as trans and non-binary may have peaked, a new report suggests.
Between 2020-21, the number of American undergraduates from the leading 50 universities identifying as non-binary fell from 1.5% in 2020 to 0.85% in 2021. This is, as the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI) notes, a ‘substantial decline’ that is supported by two other data points.
The issue isn’t school shootings, it’s crime.
After the Uvalde school shooting, the CDC and the media are pushing a misleading claim that, “firearms were the leading cause of death for kids one and older for the first time in 2020.”
There’s no statistical reason for the CDC to group infants and teenagers together into the same category except to push a gun control agenda. 1-year-olds and 19-year-olds don’t have much in common when it comes to gun violence. And when the numbers are broken down, teenagers have catastrophically high murder and suicide rates, while babies are much less affected.
Now that a House intelligence subcommittee has held the first public hearings in more than half a century on the subject of UFOs, it feels as if there has been a seismic shift in the field of journalism. There were decades when the subject was considered to be far too unserious for mainstream publications, so the idea of unknown anomalous objects in the skies was met with silence or, worse, ridicule. Once the New York Times broke the story of a formerly unpublicized UAP investigative program in the Pentagon in 2017, that began to change. But most of the coverage was still couched in caveats, suggesting “possibilities,” while leaving room for the idea that they were all just Russian or Chinese drones.
A parent of a child who was killed during the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018 called out gun control activist David Hogg after he claimed to have worked with state Republicans to pass a bill in the aftermath of the shooting.
Doctors have confirmed that trans swimmer Lia Thomas does have an unfair advantage over the biological women she swims against even after taking testosterone suppressants.
In an interview with The New York Times on Monday, a Mayo Clinic doctor and an international physiologist who consults on the sports both confirmed Thomas’s advantage is inescapable.
‘There are social aspects to sport, but physiology and biology underpin it. Testosterone is the 800-pound gorilla,’ Michael J. Joyner, the Mayo Clinic doctor, said.
Biden administration officials uninvited many of the Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement officers who responded to the Robb Elementary School shooting from a meeting with the president scheduled for Sunday in Uvalde. Despite the event being planned for a large open-space facility, administration officials cited space as a reason for the retracted invitations.
“Our kids are actually dying – and it’s weekly. Mother after mother, after mother is burying their kids,” the heartbreaking words I heard from Maritha, a mother whose son Marley was shot dead on the streets of Stockholm.
Maritha spends her time campaigning to end gun crime, whilst her son’s killer is yet to face justice.
When I travelled to Stockholm for my On Assignment report, Maritha would be the first person to tell me the primary factor driving Sweden’s rising gun crime murders was segregation, but she would not be last.
The headlines about serious youth violence and gang crime bring to mind cities such as London, New York and Sao Paulo.
Thirteen lawyers have sent a complaint letter to the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) about comments made by Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice Richard Wagner regarding the trucker convoy that staged large-scale protests against COVID-19 mandates in downtown Ottawa earlier this year.
The seven-page letter quotes a full page of excerpts from an April 9 Le Devoir article in which Wager said the convoy was “the beginning of anarchy where some people have decide to take other citizens hostage, to take the law into their own hands, not to respect the mechanism. … That, I find that worrying.”
Wagner characterized the convoy protests as a “circumstance that could undermine our principles such as judicial independence, the rule of law, institutions.” He said the protests included people of “good faith” but also others who were “remotely guided” with “misunderstanding” and “a certain ignorance” of the rule of law, and who were seeking to bypass the political “system.”
There may be four extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way that could attack our planet, a researcher has claimed.
Alberto Caballero, a PhD student at the University of Vigo in Spain, authored a study in the International Journal of Astrobiology earlier this month in which he claimed that he pinpointed the so-called “WoW! Signal.”
The signal, which was first detected by a radio telescope in 1977, was a strange minute-long burst of radio energy that may have originated from a Sun-like star 1,800 lightyears from the Earth, according to Caballero.
PORT HAWKESBURY, N.S. – A 36-year-old Nova Scotia man charged following an anti-mask protest outside the home of the province’s chief medical officer is facing 13 firearms-related charges in an unrelated incident.
During a brief court hearing in Port Hawkesbury, N.S., it was decided Jeremy Mitchell MacKenzie will be arraigned on 12 firearms charges in Pictou, N.S., on June 6, and on the remaining charge on June 27 in Port Hawkesbury.
RCMP officers in January searched MacKenzie’s Pictou home and allegedly found five restricted firearms, prohibited magazines, body armour and ammunition.

“… Local youths” has become a familiar PC byword in France for what the thinking class is actually referring to: minorities. Their presence was confirmed by BBC reporter Nick Parrott, who filmed groups of French Arabs and Sub-Saharan immigrants trying to force their way into the arena. This led to security closing a number of stadium gates and preventing fans with tickets from entering. Other groups of thugs were filmed storming the gates, while security forces were nowhere to be seen.”
There is already a familiar culture war over the origins of this apparently species-leaping virus
I hate to be one of those columnists who says “I told you so.” But I told you so. Looking back this week through the vast underground vaults at Spectator HQ I see that centuries ago in April 2020 I explained the problem with us humans as a species. As I said back then, someone always shags a monkey. There are almost eight billion of us on this planet today, and the likelihood that we’re all going to make judicious decisions all the time is vanishingly small. The mating decisions of the species alone are notoriously prone to trial and error. And the entire future of our species rides perpetually along this cliff edge.
One of the downsides of a 24/7 news cycle is that it allows far more time for media types to fill airspace with bad takes, as was recently the case during Univision’s coverage of the horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
The aftermath of yet another soul-rending attack on an elementary school, this time in Uvalde, Texas, has left little time for reflection on just why these horrific incidents continue to proliferate in the United States. Grappling with the grief attendant upon learning details of the worst K-12 mass shooting since Newtown—with 19 precious grade-schoolers and two teachers senselessly slaughtered—can be all-consuming.
