Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. https://t.co/yvd8Xlgxe0
“Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.” - T. E. Lawrence
« “Why me or all people?” - each member of a crowd asks himself. “I can’t accomplish anything by myself.”
And all are lost.
“If not me, then who?” - the individual with his back to the wall asks himself.
And he saves everyone. » - Vladimir Bukovsky, Soviet dissident
“Human dignity does not permit one to make peace with evil, even if one is powerless to stop that evil.” - Anatoly Yakobson, Soviet high school teacher, poet, literary critic, and dissident, reacting to the Red Square Demonstration, 1968.
A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures.
The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019.
A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years.
Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture.
The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment.
Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls.
"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded.
Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls.
The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges.
The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway.
How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?
If you walked up to Mike Tyson in a bar and punched him in the face, I doubt ‘you can’t hit back because I’m so puny!’ would save you from consequences.
Same on X. If you want to punch me in public but don’t want to risk a brain injury in return, stick to your own weight class.
@megynkelly Oh shut up. When do you act outraged over Trump? Seriously, poor Trump and the staffer’s family? The man is a serial slanderer. This is vanilla compared to what he does.
You’re pathetic.
