Elon Musk ‘Tricked’ into Putting Son on Puberty Blockers: Xavier Was ‘Killed by the Woke Mind Virus’

(Worthy Insights) – Billionaire businessman Elon Musk is revealing a very personal reason behind his decision to abandon the state of California as he goes to battle against woke ideology. He says he was deceived into allowing one of his children to be converted to transgender after being told his son would commit suicide if he didn’t approve the procedures.

Now he’s vowing to destroy the “woke mind virus” that he says figuratively “killed” his son, stealing his male identity and replacing it with a transgender deception.

A week ago Musk said he was leaving California and moving his X (formerly Twitter) and SpaceX businesses to Texas instead. He said he was partly motivated to take the action in response to a new California law that orders schools to deceive parents when their kids are struggling with gender confusion.

(Worthy Insights) – Three investigations are currently underway into the Secret Service following last Saturday’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump. On Monday, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testified on Capitol Hill as calls mount for her resignation.

Lawmakers repeatedly questioned who was responsible for the agency and whether Cheatle should retain her position, but she continued to refuse to step down.

“Our mission is not political. It is literally a matter of life and death,” Cheatle stated in her first public appearance since the rally. She promised to move “heaven and earth” to ensure that an incident like the one on July 13th never happens again. “I have full confidence in the men and women of the Secret Service.

(Worthy Insights) – Donald Trump scored a significant court win Saturday as a state judge in Florida turned down attempts by the Pulitzer Prize Board to toss out a libel lawsuit Trump filed in 2022 relating to a series of reports in the New York Times and Washington Post on the 2016 Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.

The libel suit does not hinge directly on the articles the Times and Post published about the Trump campaign’s links to Russia or on the decision to award the Pulitzer to the newspapers. [ Source (Read More…) ]

US Army Base Holds Training Class Calling Pro-Life Orgs ‘Terrorist Groups’

(Worthy Insights) – A U.S. Army base in North Carolina previously held a training class in which pro-life organizations were described explicitly as “terrorist groups.”

The training class included a presentation that featured a slide deck listing the pro-life groups National Right to Life and Operation Rescue as terrorist organizations at Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, the Fort confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Fort condemned the slides on Thursday and claimed that the deck was put together by a garrison employee who was not authorized to use them for the presentation.

Jim Banks told the DCNF. “Even if this slide deck was unapproved, it still exposes the Biden Pentagon for creating a politicized environment where far-left wack jobs feel they can get away with teaching our troops that conservative Americans are their adversary and legitimate military targets. We are in dangerous territory.” [ Source: Daily Caller (Read More…) ]

Report: Globe’s Largest Companies Colluded In ‘Likely’ Antitrust Violation To Censor Conservatives

Shortly after Rob Rakowitz co-founded GARM in 2019 with the World Federation of Advertisers, he complained that “[p]eople are advocating for freedom of speech online” and using a “‘radical interpretation[]’” of freedom of speech.” To curb this First Amendment phenomenon and prevent it from going global, he called for an “uncommon collaboration” to “rise above individual commercial interest.”

“For an organization reliant on speech and persuasion in advertising, GARM appears to have anti-democratic views of fundamental American freedoms,” the report warns. [ Source: The Federalist (Read More…) ]

Saudi Arabia seeks defense pact similar to Israel’s
