J.K. Rowling: There Is No Such Thing as a Transgender Kid

Harry Potter creator and women’s rights activist J.K. Rowling has told her fans on social media that there is no such thing as a transgender kid and that no child is born in the “wrong body.”

Rowling engaged series of messages on X on Saturday but after being accused of perpetrating a “hateful focus on trans kids,” the children’s books author seemed to insist that there is no such thing as a trans kid in the first place.

“There are no trans kids. No child is ‘born in the wrong body,’” she wrote. “There are only adults like you, prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined.”

In another post, Rowling blamed some of society’s problems on a type of cultural contamination where social media convinces children that they are transgender.

When one X user said that parents are to blame for transgendering of kids, Rowling responded, saying, “Kids are watching TikTok videos of surgeons selling the idea that bodies can be modified like Lego. Schools affirm kids’ trans identities behind parents’ backs. A certain kids’ charity in the UK sent out breast binders to pubescent girls without parental consent.”

“Many parents are struggling to protect kids from a Zeitgeist telling them that anxieties about puberty, sexuality and growing up can be fixed by lifelong reliance on Big Pharma and by doctors who make Frankenstein look ethical,” she added.

Unearthed Trump Era Video From 2018 Shows Homeland Actress Claire Danes Telling Stephen Colbert the Intelligence Community Allied With Journalists

A video clip resurfaced Tuesday of Homeland actress Claire Danes telling CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert in February 2018 that the “intelligence community was…allying itself with journalists” during its battles with the Trump administration. Homeland ran on Showtime, starting during the Obama administration in 2011 and ending in 2020 during Trump’s first term.

Danes told Colbert that each year during the show’s run the cast, writers and producers would spend a week in Washington, D.C. for a “spy camp” with “real spooks”, meeting at a Georgetown club with people from the intelligence community, the State Department and the media.

Danes said the relationship between the Trump administration and the intelligence community soured at the start of 2017 (“there wasn’t great faith in the very beginning”) and that the spooks started allying with journalists. (Note: The alliance started earlier with the 2016 Russia hoax Steele Dossier and the early January 2017 intel-fed Washington Post hit that helped to take out Trump’s first national security advisor, Gen. Michael Flynn.)

Celebrity Piggy Bank Scandal: How Taxpayer-Funded Pandemic Relief Programs Became a Cash Grab for Hollywood Musicians

In a jaw-dropping exposé, new details reveal how the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG)—a taxpayer-funded pandemic relief program established to save businesses and independent arts organizations—allegedly turned into a financial free-for-all for Hollywood celebrities.

Signed into law by then-President Donald Trump in 2020 and championed by figures like Senator Chuck Schumer, the program aimed to support struggling venues during the pandemic.

But according to a Business Insider report, it has now become synonymous with wasteful spending by high-profile stars.

Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., received an $8.9 million grant. Instead of directing these funds toward sustaining his music operations, he reportedly spent over $1.3 million on private jet flights and more than $460,000 on designer clothing from brands like Gucci and Balenciaga.

Additionally, he billed taxpayers nearly $88,000 for a New Year’s Eve concert in Coachella, California, which he ultimately canceled, and $14,900 for “mystery women” hotel stays.

Actress Goes On Racist Vulgar Rant During Interview With CA Gov. Newsom

Former Saturday Night Live cast member Leslie Jones went on an unhinged rant against Donald Trump and his supporters while speaking to Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Newsom bizarrely hummed along in agreement as Jones vented her frustration with “racist” white people and the MAGA movement.

“Trump brought out all those people out there who really are racist because most white people are, they just don’t understand that they have that microaggression. Y’all mostly are, you don’t even understand some of the racist shit you do by accident just by being a white entitled motherfucker,” she told the governor.

“Mmm. Mmm,” Newsom hummed as if he were clutching a tambourine and verbally agreeing with a pastor in a black church.

The governor then asked if the death of George Floyd and the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated racial tensions in America.

Jones answered, “Yeah. I think that Covid fucked us up. I think that when we had that pandemic and was inside for a little while, I think that some of us lost our fucking mind. And I think it’s sadness. We’re sad. We don’t understand what’s going on with our government. Our government is supposed to be boring. We’re not supposed to turn on the TV every day and see child molesters, and felons and shit in our government.”

She continued to explain that most citizens don’t want to pay attention to politics, saying, “They just want to be able to pay their rent. They want to be able to take care of their kids, they want to be able to pay their taxes and be fucking Americans. Nobody wants to have to deal with this fuck shit!”

The actress went on to claim certain American towns don’t have access to the same news stations that are available in leftist states like California and New York.

“Amen,” Newsom responded to the bizarre allegation.

Jussie Smollett’s conviction for racist, homophobic attack hoax tossed in stunning reversal

Disgraced actor Jussie Smollett had his conviction for lying about a fake racist and homophobic attack in downtown Chicago thrown out by the Illinois Supreme Court on a technicality.

In a shocking twist, the court found that the former “Empire” actor had his Fifth Amendment rights violated by a special prosecutor’s decision to try him after initial charges against him were previously dropped.

It’s the latest turn a case that has captivated the country for nearly six years. Smollett’s lead attorney, Nenye Uche claimed that the devision to prosecute Smollett in the first place was a “travesty of justice.”

Smollett, 42, who is black and gay, claimed two men in Make America Great Again hats assaulted him in the dead of night in January 2019, approaching him out of nowhere in the darkness and declaring “this is MAGA country” before the attack.

According to Smollet, the men yelled homophobic and racial slurs, put a noose around his neck and doused him with bleach, leading to a massive search for suspects by Chicago police that cost the city more than $130,000. 

However, investigators quickly unraveled the elaborate self-victimization ruse, revealing the actor actually hired two brothers, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, to stage the attack in a ploy to boost his profile and burnish his tough guy credentials.

Sean “Diddy” Combs Performed Bird Sacrifice Before Nightclub Shooting Verdict, Says Former Body Guard

The former bodyguard of accused sex trafficker Sean “Duffy” Combs claims the disgraced media mogul sacrificed a bird before learning the outcome of his 1999 New York City nightclub shooting.

In a new documentary, former Diddy bodyguard Gene Deal shared that he witnessed Diddy sacrifice a bird in Central Park.

Deal shared that before Diddy was set to arrive at a Manhattan courthouse to learn his verdict in his nightclub shooting trial, he stopped the car to meet a mysterious man with a caged bird in Central Park.

Deal stated, “When Puff got close to the guy, he just dropped down to his knees.”

He added, “Next thing I see, is this smoke just going back and forth around Puff. I guess it was sage or something like that.”

“Puff took this white bird and threw it up in the air … The bird just fell to the ground, boom, like it was a brick,” added Deal.

Prosecutors Accuse Sean “Diddy” Combs of Tampering With Witnesses and Trying to Taint the Jury Pool From Inside Prison, as They Oppose His Attempt at Bail

In the runup to his May 2025 trial on the charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, mogul rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is attempting to reverse his pre-trial incarceration and be granted bail.

In their court filing, prosecutors argue against releasing Combs, saying he remains a flight risk and a risk to society, to witnesses in his trial and potentially to other victims.

And – what’s more – they accuse the disgraced star of continued criminal behavior from inside the Brooklyn MDC prison.

NBC News reported:

“Federal prosecutors have accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of breaking jail rules in an attempt to manipulate witness testimony and taint the potential jury pool in his case, according to a court document filed Friday.”

In custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, Combs entered a not guilty plea.

His legal team keeps fighting the decision to deny Combs bail and has requested yet another bail hearing.

In their opposition to the motion, prosecutors accused Combs of obstruction from behind bars.

“Combs has allegedly ‘continued to try to evade law enforcement monitoring, corruptly influence witness testimony, and further attack the integrity of these proceedings’, the filing said.

According to prosecutors, Combs has ordered payments to fellow inmates to use their telephone accounts and has used three-way calling to contact people who are not on his approved contacts list against federal prison regulations.”

Kamala Harris Campaign Responds to Allegations That They Paid Millions to Ultra-Wealthy Celebrities Including Oprah to Endorse Harris

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Kamala Harris has been beset with revelations that she ended her campaign millions of dollars in debt despite raising over $1 billion. In fact, Harris’s campaign was so poorly run that her top staffers reportedly paid wealthy, liberal celebrities millions of dollars to endorse her.

These celebrities allegedly included rapper Cardi B and infamous billionaire mogul Oprah Winfrey. The campaign has remained silent for days regarding the rumors.

Until now. Adrienne Elrod, who served as senior spokesperson for Harris’s campaign, gave her version of the facts in an interview with Deadline this week.

“We do not pay,” she told the outlet. “We have never paid any artist and performer. We have never paid a fee to that person.”

But Elrod did note that the Harris campaign paid “for any ancillary costs for that performance” by a celebrity, saying this was required by law.

“There are laws that have to be followed that we have followed religiously on this campaign,” she said.

The Daily Mail notes that the laws Elrod was referring to are Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules which mandate campaigns to pay “fair market value” for the costs of events.

Companies are forbidden from paying campaigns directly without receiving reimbursement. Moreover, when an individual decides to cover the cost, this is still an in-kind contribution that faces legal limits.

Elrod’s response came just days after Winfrey was confronted by a TMZ reporter on Monday in Santa Barbara, California regarding President Trump’s election victory and whether she received $1 million from the Harris campaign.

According to a report from The Washington Examiner on how the campaign burned through over $1 billion in funds, Winfrey’s Harpo Productions received $1 million in October for ‘campaign-related’ services.

In return, Winfrey hosted a star-studded town hall and spoke at her final rally in Philadelphia before Election Day.

‘I Was Paid Nothing’: Oprah Denies Million Dollar Payment By Harris Campaign

Billionaire talk show guru Oprah denies she was paid $1 million by the Harris campaign to host a town hall on the failed Democrat candidate’s behalf.

Oprah made the comments Monday after a TMZ reporter asked her to comment on the election results, which she refused to expound on.

“Not talking about the election. Thank you very much,” she told the reporter.

The reporter then asked about the $1 million payment, “Is it true they [Harris campaign] paid you a million dollars for the endorsement of Kamala?”

“Not true. I was paid nothing — ever,” Oprah replied.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings that show Harpo Productions – of which Oprah is a director, member of the board, and officer of the production company – received a million dollars from the Harris campaign in two $500,000 payments.
