The BBC has now adopted a policy of deliberately calling trans women ‘men’ – referring to women who have transitioned as who they no longer are. A person who doesn’t even legally exist anymore! This is being done purely for the purpose of trying to shame and humiliate trans people. Calling a woman a “biological male” or someone “who identifies as a

Ah yes of course he is. Trump is telling the DoJ to look for Epstein ties to………………..people he doesn’t like.

Trump said Friday he will ask Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to many other high-profile figures, including some of his perceived political opponents, again blasting Democrats following the release earlier this week of emails from the late Epstein that mention him.

Other high-profile figures – the ones whose names don’t begin with T and end with rump.

“Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice,

Now why would he do that? One can’t help but wonder.

Trump puts intense pressure on Republicans to block release of Epstein files

Why? What’s it to him? They’re not his files. We know he doesn’t give the tiniest shit about anyone but himself. Why in hell would he put intense pressure on his team to keep shtum about Epstein?

Unless…

Trump has cranked up his intense pressure campaign on congressional Republicans to oppose the full release of the justice department’s files related to Jeffrey Epstein, before a crucial and long-awaited House vote on the matter next week that scores of Republicans are slated to support.

It couldn’t possibly be that there’s damaging information about him in there could it?

BBC News boss admits: We haven’t got our trans coverage right

Which means, at the very least, that you also haven’t got your women coverage right.

A senior BBC News executive has admitted the broadcaster made mistakes in its coverage of transgender issues.

Richard Burgess, the corporation’s director of news content, told journalists in an all-staff call on Wednesday that they must cover the gender debate impartially and consider the views of both sides.

Or, you could just stop pretending it’s a real controversy at all.

The BBC doesn’t cover both sides of disputes around settled knowledge. It doesn’t interview children on the vexed question of whether or not the Tooth Fairy is real. It … Read the rest

One of those genuine dropped jaw moments. From Commentary:

“The Damascus Affair” may sound like a John le Carré novel to today’s university students, but it was in fact a 19th-century blood libel with international implications and diplomatic intervention by the president of the United States.

Fortunately, some university students are being taught about the affair today. Unfortunately, they are being taught that it was true—that Jews killed a Syrian monk and sprinkled his blood onto their Passover matzah.

Originally a comment by Artymorty on Furor, I tells ya.

It highlights the big problem with gender ideology, and it’s a problem that I think even the best-intentioned psycholgists and psychiatrists didn’t quite understand as their profession became increasingly warm to the idea of sex changes for their patients. The problem is that it’s not about these people’s personal private ideas or their personal bodies, and it mostly never was. It has always been about getting everyone else to play along. People don’t go off and change their names and get surgeries so they can content themselves in solitude with their newfound “womanhoods” and “manhoods”. They do it so they can move through the rest of the world as … Read the rest

World still racing toward the edge of the cliff:

The world is still on track for a catastrophic 2.6C increase in temperature as countries have not made sufficiently strong climate pledges, while emissions from fossil fuels have hit a record high, two major reports have found.

It’s not so much the absence of strong enough pledges that’s the problem as it is the absence of doing anything.

Despite their promises, governments’ new emission-cutting plans submitted for the Cop30 climate talks taking place in Brazil have done little to avert dangerous global heating for the fourth consecutive year, according to the Climate Action Tracker update.

The Good Law Project on its latest project in lawfare:

Good Law Project has filed an application for judicial review against the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and the equalities minister Bridget Phillipson.

We’ve teamed up with trans and intersex people to challenge the interim guidance rushed out by the EHRC in the wake of the transphobic judgment handed down by the Supreme Court in April.

But…it’s not “transphobic”. You can’t call it phobic to know the correct definition of a word, especially of a word as central to human life as “woman”.

Poor India. He never thought he would see the day when we went back to that kind of language. What kind? The kind that calls men “men”. Shocking, isn’t it.

Memorial panels honoring Black American soldiers at a military cemetery in the Netherlands are gone. Removed on orders from the Trump administration.

Today is Veterans Day.

That’s all it took. A complaint from the Heritage Foundation, the same organization that wrote Project 2025. The American Battle Monuments Commission removed them earlier this summer. Quietly. Dutch officials only learned about it last weekend.

Let me tell you what was on them.

August 5, 1943. Camp Phillips, Kansas. The 960th Quartermaster Service Company activated. Two hundred sixty Black soldiers. All under the command of white officers, as Army policy dictated in WWII. They trained on bivouacs, security, and night patrols. Then they shipped out.

Late 1944, they arrived at

Nandy criticises BBC’s ‘inconsistent’ reporting standards

Mr Shah is set to write to the culture, media and sport committee on Monday to express regret for the way the Trump speech, made on the day of the Jan 6 2021 Capitol riot, was spliced together. The Telegraph has previously disclosed that both Mr Davie and Mr Shah were warned of the doctored footage in May but appear to have kept quiet.

BBC reports: Trump says he has ‘obligation’ to sue BBC over speech edit

And Trump is notoriously scrupulous about heeding his obligations.

Trump has said he has an “obligation” to sue the BBC over the way a section of his speech was edited in a Panorama documentary.

Speaking to Fox News, he said his 6 January 2021 speech had been “butchered” and the way it was presented had “defrauded” viewers.

Nope. I’ve just read big chunks of it, and there is no fraud or defraud, on account of how the speech is absolutely packed with raging and boasting and blathering.

Appearing on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle, the president was asked if he would go ahead with the lawsuit, responding

I got curious about the edit of Trump’s Let’s Insurrection speech, so I asked ctrl f to show me the two pieces. They are indeed very far apart. The speech as a whole however is not, how shall I put this – not a passionate plea to be calm and reasonable.

This Veterans Day, we’re paying special tribute to Admiral Lisa Franchetti and Admiral Linda Fagan, the two highest serving women in the military until they were both fired from their historic commands by the Trump administration with no explanation or justification. Former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan, a four-star admiral, 40-year veteran, and the first woman to lead a military branch, was fired by Trump on Inauguration Day as one of his first acts in office. In February, Pete Hegseth — arguably the least qualified Defense Secretary in modern history — then fired Admiral Lisa Franchetti — a four-star admiral and the first woman to lead the Navy. These abrupt firings represented just the beginning of

Oliver Brown and Craig Simpson in The Telegraph:

BBC bosses “ignored” warnings about pro-transgender bias in its sports coverage, The Telegraph can reveal.

Messages seen by The Telegraph reveal that female staff repeatedly raised concerns over several years about the nature of reporting on gender issues.

BBC Sport bosses were told almost five years ago that stories about trans athletes were often uncritical and celebratory “puff pieces”, while glossing over any potentially negative impact on women’s sports.

However, insiders claim that the BBC persisted with overwhelmingly positive coverage of otherwise controversial athletes, including Lia Thomas, the biologically male swimmer, the weightlifter Laurel Hubbard, the cyclist Austin Killips and Imane Khelif, the boxer.

Oh gawd how they do get everything wrong.

Last week, a leaked memo to the BBC board from Michael Prescott, a former external adviser to the broadcaster’s editorial standards committee, was published by The Telegraph – a British newspaper, with a rightwing editorial slant, that has long been hostile to the BBC.

In his memo, compiled this summer, Prescott laid out a long list of alleged shortcomings in the BBC’s news output, from alleged anti-Israel bias in its Arabic-language service to an overly progressive slant in its coverage of transgender people and their rights.

The Telegraph on Jolyon Maugham’s campaign to destroy women’s sports.

Almost two weeks ago the Maugham-led GLP announced it had begun legal action against the England and Wales Cricket Board over the latter’s transgender participation policy. The threatened lawsuit is the latest attention-grabbing case taken on by the GLP, which was founded by Maugham, an arch-Remainer, in January 2017 in the wake of the Brexit referendum.

Best known for defeating Boris Johnson’s government at the Supreme Court over the then prime minister’s 2019 prorogation of parliament, the group is now determined to overturn the same court’s ruling that only those born female should be deemed women under the 2010 Equality Act.

The corruption is not universally popular.

Donald Trump’s unprecedented pardoning spree for political and business friends since returning to the White House has prompted warnings from ex-prosecutors and legal scholars of “corrupt” pay-to-play schemes, conflicts of interest and blatant partisanship.

It has included hundreds of Maga allies, a cryptocurrency mogul with ties to a Trump family crypto firm, disgraced politicians, and others who could yield political and financial benefits.

Other than that it’s totally aboveboard.

Recently, Trump has sparked strong criticism for commutations or pardons that seem increasingly aimed at boosting political allies and some Trump family business interests, say legal experts and ex-prosecutors.

Last month, Trump commuted a seven-year sentence of expelled House member George Santos, who pleaded
