The Return of the Most EVIL Political Attack Ever: Dems in Full Freakout Mode Over ‘They/Them’ Ads

I’m great at writing bios for my PR clients: celebs, entertainers, lawyers, businessmen, athletes—you name it. 

Not to brag, but they’re some of my finest works of fiction.

Because, in my profession, we don’t begin with “the truth.” (More often than not, “the truth” only gets in the way. Lousy reality! It’s always interfering with my creative storytelling!) 

Instead, we begin with the story we want to tell. 

And then we cherrypick the truthful bits and pieces of his or her bio to tell this one specific story. So, nothing in a client’s bio is actually false — you never lie — but you use reality as a springboard for storylines that’ll ring more registers.

Pinsker Law of PR #33: Clients don’t hire propagandists to publicize what the truth is. We’re hired to publicize what they wish the truth was.

It’s not my job to report reality. I’m not a documentary filmmaker; that’s not why clients pay me. Getting mad at a propagandist for inaccurately mirroring reality is kind of like getting mad at a dentist because he’s bad at carpentry: They’re different disciplines.

PR is strategic storytelling. Nothing more, nothing less.

And it’s ALWAYS driven by the beliefs, fears, and aspirations of your target audience.

This takes us to the latest Democratic freakout. Yesterday, it was gerrymandering; today, it’s the dreaded return of the most diabolical, meanspirited political attack of our era: the GOP’s “they/them” ads.

(Gasp!)

CNN issued the ominous warning yesterday: “Republicans reprise anti-transgender ‘Kamala is for they/them’ ads for the midterms.”

Why, how dare those Republicans double-down on a successful political campaign! That’s not fair.

‘I’d F*** Your Old Lady In The A**’: Liberal Mayor Berates Christian At LGBT Festival

A Texas mayor was caught on video using disturbing language berating a Christian preacher at a LGBT festival, video shows.

Jim Ross, the mayor of Arlington, Texas, targeted the preacher during a 2023 LGBT event. The shocking moments were captured by Vice, though Ross’s face is blurred and the footage has just now been uncovered by The Dallas Express.

Ross claims he’s a moderate, but routinely pushes race-based and gender-based initiatives and has promoted LGBT “pride.”

“I believe y’all can have free speech. But this is some hateful s*** and I am a heterosexual guy,” Ross says in the footage, speaking to preacher Ruben Israel, who has since passed away.

“You stand out here like you are a b*da** motherf***er,” the mayor continued. “You don’t think anal sex is good, do you? Have you ever f***ed your old lady in the a**? I’d f*** your old lady in the a**.”

Ross was not done, however. He called Israel a “p**** mother***er” and told him, “Shut your a**, shut your a**, you little piece of s***. You ought to talk s***, these people around here are having a good f***ing time.”

At the time of the confrontation, Ross was serving as mayor of Arlington, and currently holds the same position.

Tarrant County GOP Chairman Bo French said Ross needs to resign “immediately” over the conduct.

Tarrant County Republican Precinct Chair TK Campbell, also speaking to The Dallas Express, said Ross’s unprofessional behavior mirrors that of prominent Democrats, who’ve clung to cursing as an apparent political strategy.

“The now Mayor of Arlington’s vile, profanity-laced rant at the late Ruben Israel, a Christian street preacher, is a disgrace,” Campbell said. “Perhaps the mayor was stressed out because of not being able to pay his taxes of late, but his unprofessional conduct mirrors the worst of today’s cursing Democrats. Leadership demands better.”

Campbell’s comments regarding taxes seem to reference Ross recently having his wages garnished by the IRS. According to The Dallas Express, Ross owes $940.39 in penalties and interest and has an outstanding debt of about $175,000.

During his tenure as mayor, Ross has created advisory councils based on race, religion, and identity, including black, Asian, Latino, Muslim, and LGBTQ.

In 2023, Ross defended the forums during an NAACP event. “You have to have a black advisory council because, folks, black people are not the same. Did y’all know that?” he said, according to KERA News. “Latinos are not the same. Asians are not the same.”

NYC to Open Nation’s First Trans-Only Homeless Shelter — Will Cost Taxpayers $65 Million

The city of New York is opening the nation’s first transgender-only homeless shelter.

The shelter, a partnership between a local LGBTQ nonprofit and the city government, will cost the city an extraordinary $65 million and will be the first transgender homeless shelter in the nation.

Further details were outlined in a joint press release:

There will also be a full-time psychiatric nurse practitioner onsite who will work closely with the social workers and other credentialed staff to provide comprehensive mental health support.

On-site clinical staff will provide health education through coaching and counseling with the end goal of improved health outcomes and increasing clients’ self-sufficiency.

This model will offer specialized services to address depression, anxiety, and other challenges our residents may experience.

Destination Tomorrow will also employ holistic approaches to health and mental wellness with programs offering yoga and meditation.

In addition, Destination Tomorrow is developing a work study program for culinary arts, this will provide hands-on experience and internship opportunities for residents seeking careers in hospitality and food service.

DSS and Destination Tomorrow will work closely with key community stakeholders to identify collaborative ways to better serve and support New York City’s thriving LGBTQ+ community.

“ We’ve watched so many other corporations and foundations and businesses just like completely turn their back on the community and the city didn’t do it,” said Sean Ebony Coleman, founder and CEO of Destination Tomorrow, the nonprofit that will manage the shelter for the city.

“The city is keeping in line with what New York City has always been, a sanctuary city, a safe haven, but more importantly, a trendsetter when it comes to LGBTQ rights.”

City officials are openly championing the initiative, with Department of Social Services Commissioner Molly Wasow Park declaring they “could not be prouder” of the announcement.

“Ace’s Place will offer Transgender New Yorkers a safe place to heal and stabilize in trauma-informed settings with the support of staff who are deeply invested in their growth and wellbeing,” she added.

School district must convince jury it can fire Christians for not using students’ transgender names

Two months before the Supreme Court dramatically expanded employers’ obligations to grant religious accommodations to employees, rejecting a throwaway line in a 1977 ruling that was widely used to deny accommodations, a Chicago-based federal appeals court ruled that calling students by their last names for the sake of religious conscience was a fireable offense.

Two years later, the same three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals cleaned the egg off its face after reviewing former music teacher John Kluge’s second loss in district court in light of the High Court’s precedent for former postal worker Gerald Groff.

Indiana’s Brownsburg Community Schools Corp. will have to convince a jury that it yanked Kluge’s yearlong last-name accommodation and ordered him to either resign or address transgender students by their preferred names and pronouns, in violation of his Christian faith, because the district would have otherwise suffered “substantial increased costs.”

“Because material factual disputes exist, we reverse the district court’s grant of summary judgment to the school on Kluge’s accommodation claim and remand for further proceedings,” said the majority opinion by Judge Michael Brennan, joined by Judge Amy St. Eve, both nominated by President Trump.

They cited “insufficient evidence to conclude that calling students by their last names, without more, would inflict emotional harm on a reasonable person,” and that Brownsburg hadn’t shown Kluge’s practice resulted in emotional distress “under an objective standard.”

Nancy Pelosi’s Recent Comments on ‘Trans Kids’ Show This is a Hill Democrats Are Willing to Die on 

Nancy Pelosi was recently speaking to a reporter who asked her a question about trans issues and she doubled down in support, mentioning that she supports ‘gender affirming care’ for ‘trans kids.’

Of course, gender affirming care is not caring, nor does it affirm gender, but who’s keeping track of the lies at this point?

The amazing thing about this is that the 2024 election showed that a majority of the country rejects all of this. Studies after the election found that one of Trump’s most effective ads was one that focused on Kamala Harris’ support for this issue and Trump’s rejection of it.

Parents across the country are sick of the very idea of men in the same locker rooms as their daughters and wives, yet here is Pelosi making it clear that Democrats are still not letting go of this.

From PJ Media:

On Thursday, Nancy Pelosi gave a troubling interview outside a VA hospital in San Francisco, where she appeared visibly disoriented and struggled to string together coherent thoughts while defending the practice of “transing” children.

When asked about her office’s response to interruptions in so-called “gender-affirming care” in California, Pelosi immediately stumbled. “Well, that is something that I’m working for at—at—at the national level,” she stammered. She then tried, and failed, to articulate her hope for continued access to these controversial procedures for gender-confused kids: “Are hoping that we can have gender-affirming care, uh, for—for our trans kids, and that’s… It—it’s, it’s a sad thing for us.” She never finished the thought.

Brazilian Woman Granted Refugee Status in Europe After Facing 25-Year Sentence for ‘Misgendering’ Trans Politician

In a precedent-setting move, a European country has officially granted full refugee protections to a Brazilian women’s rights activist who was facing 25 years in prison in her home country for misgendering a transgender politician. Isabella Cêpa is the first person to be recognized as a victim of state persecution for her outspoken opposition to gender identity ideology.

As previously reported by Reduxx, Cêpa first came under criminal investigation after she made a social media post about Erika Hilton – a male politician who “identifies” as a woman. Hilton was elected to São Paulo’s municipal government in November of 2020, winning his seat by a landslide that gave him the title of the most voted-for ‘woman’ in Brazil.

At the time of his victory, Hilton was celebrated in international media as being a “symbolic triumph” for transgender people. Hilton was amongst the top 10 most-voted for candidates in all of Brazil, and was touted as the “only woman” to make the list. 

It was the widespread announcement of his victory that first put him on Cêpa’s radar.

“At the time I didn’t even know who this person was. I just saw a headline on an Instagram page celebrating that ‘the most voted woman in São Paulo is a transwoman,’” Cêpa told Reduxx during a 2022 interview, recounting how her ordeal began. “Then, I shared a video with my followers saying I was disappointed to hear that the most voted-for woman in São Paulo – later found out that it was in the entire country – was a man.”

Creepy ‘fetish’ photo of Canada’s new PM just turned them into a global laughingstock…

The left has spent years trying to normalize and mainstream creepy fringe, fetish behavior—and it’s one of the many reasons they’ve alienated themselves from normal society. They always start the same way: appealing to people’s basic kindness and decency. Remember when they told us the LGBT movement was just about holding hands in public and getting a few tax breaks?

Then came the ol’ bait-and-switch. Next thing you know, we’ve got grown men dressed as women sharing public bathrooms with young girls and bearded men in bikinis competing in women’s sports, shattering records, and destroying the dreams of hardworking young women. This is what happens when you give the left an inch… they take a thousand miles.

And now, they’re moving on to the next freakish frontier: “pup play.”

Have you heard of this?

Pup play is a creepy sexual fetish where grown adults dress in leather dog masks, collars, and harnesses, often crawling around on all fours, while pretending to be puppies for sexy gratification.

It’s not cute; it’s mentally ill.

It’s not harmless; we fear what is happening to innocent dogs.

And it sure as hell isn’t something any respectable public official should be promoting.

Yet here we are…

U. Arizona offers ‘LGBTQ+ liberation’ internship to develop ‘scholar-activist identity’

The University of Arizona is offering a for-credit internship this fall to give students a deeper understanding of “Queer and Trans liberation” and encourage “the development of a scholar-activist identity” for “LGBTQ+2S” students.

One Arizona-based education policy expert raised concerns with The College Fix about the public university granting academic credit for “ideological activism.”

The internship is a student-funded, three-credit and year-long collaboration between the LGBTQ+2S Resource Center and the university’s Pride Alliance student group, according to the program’s description reviewed by The College Fix.

The program’s webpage was removed after a media inquiry about it last week from The College Fix. An archived version from the 2023-24 school year is still available.

“This internship encourages the development of a scholar-activist identity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, asexual, and two-spirit (LGBTQA+2S) and allied students at The University of Arizona, particularly through the lens of sexual orientation, autonomy and advocacy, gender identity, and gender expression,” according to the program description for the 2025-26 year reviewed by The Fix.

Additionally, interns will discuss “LGBTQ+ Liberation” and attend a weekly class “focusing on identity development and social justice leadership skills,” according to an Instagram post by the Pride Alliance.

Cancer Patient Denied Treatment Because of Her Conservative Christian Views

An Oregon hospital refused a Catholic cancer patient treatment because she voiced her views on “transgenderism.”

The staff at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) disregarded Marlene Barbera’s concerns when she commented on the office’s prominently-displayed “transgender” flag. After she had a disagreement over the phone with a staff member, the clinic dropped her as a patient, informing her in an email:

“Effective immediately, you are discharged from receiving medical care at the Richmond Family Medicine Clinic. This action is being taken because of ongoing disrespectful and hurtful remarks about our LGBTQ community and staff… Please note that you are also now dismissed from all OHSU Family Medicine clinics, including Immediate Care clinics.”

In a message to her doctor last year, Barbera had written this:

I have been threatened on Twitter by trans activists with rape and death — so it is daunting to go for medical treatment with that banner proclaiming that what I am, an adult human female, is a mere opt-in category for any gender non-conforming male and not a reality. May I please have a telephone appointment to discuss how I may access your medical care without walking under a banner that seeks to negate all I am?

Barbera thought the message was private, but it was shared with other staff. When she tried to leave a message for her doctor about her medical situation, the receptionist refused and insisted she make an appointment. When she called back, she was still refused service.

“I asked, guessing ‘Did I hurt the trans person’s feelings?’ And the receptionist took offense to the question, asking ‘What did you say?’ slowly and with great emphasis,” Barbera told Reduxx.

A few weeks later, on June 29, the practice manager, Stein Berger, messaged her to say that she had made “transphobic remarks” that harmed the staff of the “inclusive” clinic. That day, the clinic notified her that she could no longer get care at the clinic, effective July 29.

Australian Senate Gags Debate on Bill To Define A Man And Woman

Labor and the Greens have blocked debate on legislation that would have provided a clear definition of a man and a woman in Australia.

Liberal Senator Alex Antic introduced the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Restoring Biological Definitions) Act 2025 at the end of the recent parliamentary session.

The bill (pdf) specifically repeals the definition of gender identity and omits every occurrence of the word “gender identity.”

In addition, the bill provides a clear definition for men and women and substitutes the word “different sex” with “the opposite sex.”

“Man means a member of the male sex irrespective of age. Woman means a member of the female sex irrespective of age,” the bill states.

Antic said the issue would not go away and described the situation as “absolutely unbelievable.”

“The Bill was designed to protect women’s sport and women’s spaces but Labor and the Greens wouldn’t allow it to pass into the second reading,” he said in a post to X.

Antic said the Bill’s aim was to restore the definitions of a man and a woman, which had been “deleted in 2013” by the Labor government.

“Yes, you heard that right, as presently enacted, the Sex Discrimination Act has no working understanding of what constitutes a man or a woman,” he told supporters on Aug. 1.

“My Bill also proposed to remove the concept of ‘gender identity’ from the Act altogether, which the Labor government added as a category of protected classes.”
