CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — As the midterm campaign enters the homestretch, it’s time for unity rallies.

Democrats have a master plan to bring undocumented immigrants into the United States to perform gender confirmation surgeries on them and then send a bunch of transgender people around the country to infiltrate society.   None of that is of course, true, but viewers of Tucker Carlson's show on Fox News would not know any better if they saw Ohio's Republican senate candidate J.D.

Tina Kotek, one of two lesbian candidates poised to make history in runs for governor this year, exudes confidence on the campaign trail although it’s clear she’s in a tough battle.Kotek is the Democratic gubernatorial nominee in deep-blue Oregon, which has already had the nation’s first out bisexual governor, Kate Brown, a Democrat who’s retiring due to term limits. Kotek and fellow Dem Maura Healey, in Massachusetts, stand to become the first out lesbian governors in the U.S. But while polls show Healey with a lead of more than 20 points over her Republican opponent, Kotek is in pretty much a dead heat with Republican Christine Drazan.The race in Oregon has been complicated by the presence of an independent candidate, Betsy Johnson, a former Democratic state legislator.

I’m not much of a basketball fan, but I do know that the Brooklyn Nets' Kyrie Irving is the NBA’s equivalent of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. Irving shared a link on Twitter (we’ll get to that in a minute) to an anti-Semitic film, deleted it, didn’t apologize for doing it, wouldn’t say the Holocaust happened, and dribbled around the question of whether he was anti-Semitic.I’m rarely on Twitter, mainly because I’m not very opinionated, but I’ve been reading all the news about racist dogma that has skyrocketed once Elon Musk inherited the soon-to-be equivalent of former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social.

Then recently, Las Vegas TV interviewer Brian Loftus asked her about her use of the term, which she has defended because, she said, it’s used in books and movies.“Since that community considers it offensive, why not use the term that that community does not deem offensive?” Loftus asked.“Like what, like drag queen?” Chattah responded, apparently unaware that most trans people are not drag queens and many drag queens are not trans.

The Florida Boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine held a joint meeting Friday afternoon that devolved into chaos after the two regulatory bodies failed to agree on language regarding access to gender-affirming treatment.
