The Turley-Wolfson Debate on Institutional Neutrality in Higher Education
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Jonathan Turley
I just returned from the University of Wyoming, where I debated the President of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Todd Wolfson over the need for colleges and universities to maintain institutional neutrality. The debate was organized by the Steamboat Institute and was live-streamed. Given the interest in the debate and the polling results below, I am hopeful that we can prevail in this existential battle for higher education. Steamboat has now posted the debate in case you would like to hear the arguments on both sides of this issue.

Graham Platner welcomes attacks from 'fascists and bigots' over his support for trans rights
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Advocate
The Maine Democratic Senate nominee secured a national transgender rights PAC endorsement while pledging not to abandon LGBTQ+ Americans. Days after marching in the Portland Pride Parade, Graham Platner, Maine’s Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, is promising to fight federal attacks on transgender Americans as he heads into a nationally watched general election against Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins. In an exclusive interview with The Advocate on Wednesday, Platner welcomed the endorsement from the Christopher Street Project, a political action committee dedicated to electing transgender rights advocates. The group’s executive director, Tyler Hack, said Platner represents the kind of Democrat needed not only to build a congressional majority but also to prevent transgender people’s rights from being negotiated away.

FIFA allows LGBT pride flags at Egypt-Iran match despite ban on ‘political’ items
Topic: Gay/Lesbian Issues

FIFA said on Thursday that fans will be permitted to bring pride flags to the World Cup match in Seattle between Iran and Egypt, despite Iranian objections and the soccer organization’s ban on “political items.” The World Cup’s draw prompted pushback from both countries when it was first decided in December because it is scheduled for June 26 at Seattle Stadium during the city’s Pride Weekend; each primarily Muslim nation has criminal penalties for homosexuality. Seattle organizers have branded the game as the “Pride match.”

Judge orders DOJ to produce, unredact sought after Epstein files

On Thursday, a federal judge based in Washington, D.C., ordered the Justice Department to unredact additional pages of the Epstein files in a suit brought by attorney and independent journalist Katie Phang. The preliminary injunction orders redactions be removed in key documents of interest in the files, including “at least eight email exchanges with Mr. Epstein regarding a ‘torture video’ and sexual activity with young women, including minors” as well as interviews with a woman who said she was abused by President Trump as a minor.

How Many Girls on Testosterone Is Too Many?
Topic: Children and Family
Source: City-Journal
A new Oregon study shows that pediatric gender transitions aren’t as rare as advocates of the “affirming” model assured us. Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, we were assured, were reserved for a tiny number of carefully assessed children with severe and persistent distress. But when new data show that these treatments aren’t so rare, the same defenders suddenly change their tune: the numbers are no longer reassuring because they are small; now they are reassuring because they are large. More children receiving medical transition means that a previously hidden population finally feels safe enough to pursue the care it has always needed. Higher cross-sex identity persistence after social transition or administering puberty blockers means the interventions were obviously appropriate.

Director Uwe Boll boosted the Musk post, saying that for a limited time of 48 hours the film would be free to stream on X. The film, tracking the story of an American ex-pat living in Europe who undertakes a personal mission of hunting down criminals and the soft-on-crime officials who let them off, was banned in Germany for violence and an anti-immigrant message.

Trump admin holds trans medical group to account
Topic: Political Correctness

...for lying about 'life-saving' nature of medical child sex changes. Back in February, the Federal Trade Commission started poking around WPATH's claims about pediatric transition services. As of today, they've poked enough to sue. The FTC, joined by Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, filed a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, alleging that the organization provided medical providers with the means to make false and unsubstantiated claims to parents to sell pediatric medical transition services. It’s about time we hold this organization accountable for the countless harms it has inflicted on so many children and their families.

Rape Crisis Org Says It’s ‘Racist’ To Notice Muslim Rape Gangs Abusing UK Girls
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: The Federalist
The Rape Crisis organization, designed to help and ‘believe’ rape victims, completely invalidates their experiences by calling their testimonies ‘unhelpful’ and ‘irresponsible.’ When Jen was 17, she was introduced to a gang of Iraqi Kurdish Muslim men who called her and other girls “white trash” and “English pig?dogs” while they raped and trafficked them across the U.K. to rape gang ”parties.” Jen decided to speak up in the Rape Gang Inquiry Report “so that religiously-motivated coercive abuse is properly recognized and confronted, even when doing so is politically, culturally, or socially controversial.”

Minimum age of 11 set for UK puberty blocker trial
Topic: Children and Family
Source: BBC News
Gender-questioning children will have to be at least 11 years old to take part in a clinical trial assessing the risks and benefits of puberty-blocking drugs. The planned Pathways Trial was paused in February 2026 after the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) raised safety concerns and suggested introducing a minimum age of 14, where none had been set previously. It says discussions with the research team have allowed "a number of safeguards", including participation age, to be strengthened. The first children are expected to be recruited in August, although ongoing legal action by some clinicians and campaigners questioning the trial's safety and ethics, may delay that.

Arizona Governor Rejects Bill Targeting Unverified Porn Content
Topic: Porn, Prostitution, and Sexual Freedom
Source: The Epoch Times
The governor says the measure threatens free speech; the sponsor says it protects people from illegal and nonconsensual sexual content online. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has vetoed legislation that would have required commercial pornography websites to verify the age and consent of individuals depicted in sexual material before publication. Hobbs rejected HB2133, the Protect Act, on June 19. The decision drew criticism from the bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Nick Kupper, a Republican, who said the measure was intended to prevent child pornography and nonconsensual sexual content from being posted online. Only two Democrats voted in favor of the bill.

We have previously discussed academic journals canceling publications that challenge the orthodox views of mainstream scholars. The latest such example can be found in the Journal of the New Zealand College of Clinical Psychologists, which pulled the 2025 article of Arna Mitchell who questioned claims that psychology as a field is a tool of “white power.” The editors reportedly declared that such conclusions are “inconsistent” with the publication’s “values.

Identity politics and Trump hate lose to Islamist communism in NYC
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Washington Examiner
In New York City on Tuesday night, Democrats learned the hard way that hating President Donald Trump or being a power player in racial identity politics is no longer as important as embracing Islamist communism. The two notable losses in Tuesday’s Democratic primaries were Reps. Adriano Espaillat and Dan Goldman, who both lost to candidates endorsed by New York City’s socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Espaillat is a beneficiary of the racial politics hierarchy Democrats have built over the past two decades as the chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, but was pushed out by the rich, white Democrats in his district who preferred his opponent, Darializa Avila Chevalier, who wants to erase police, prisons, private property, and Israel from existence.

United Nations: Crisis of Credibility
Topic: Political Correctness

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has announced that the United Nations faces “imminent financial collapse,” arising from member nations not paying their annual dues. The UN has become “more politicized, less principled, and increasingly disconnected from its founding mission,” according to one observer. Much of the problem lies with the failure of the United Nations to uphold its founding principles, including statements that affirm the need for gender equality:

The rise of ‘gray divorce,’
Topic: Children and Family
Source: New York Post
Americans age 50 and older are getting divorced—with almost half of all broken marriages in recent years coming from aging Gen Xers and Baby Boomers. Gray divorces doubled between 1990 and 2010, until they comprised about one in four of all divorces nationally... And though divorce has been dropping in most age groups across America, it has not among people 50 years and older. Michael Stutman, a top New York City divorce lawyer, thinks a “popular culture” shift around modern marriage expectations, coupled with staring down the barrel of mortality, could be playing a part.

Then Performed CPR Directly Over It It just keeps getting worse... Serving and former Hampshire officers have now admitted that mandatory "Inclusion Matters" DEI training played a direct role in how they processed the incident. They described sessions that drummed in "white privilege" and "unconscious bias." One officer said: "we had it drummed into us about our white privilege and unconscious bias." The outsourced trainer was described as "deeply hateful of white people and our culture." Officers feared career damage if they pushed back. This ideological environment framed the white teenager as the likely aggressor and gave credence to the attacker's fabricated claim of racial abuse.

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) has long been one of the most radical labor organizations in the country from its insistence on teachers being subsidized in political protests to members praising the former Communist regime in Venezuela. Now, with the Illinois Federation of Teachers, the CTU is demanding yet another massive public infusion of money despite the dismal performance of its members in actually improving scores for Chicago children. They are calling for a special session and billions in more funding.

Oregon: For Trans Activists, It’s Not Just the Fetish It’s the Grift

There is nothing more attractive to grifters than easy money. And there’s nothing easier to grift from than the vast river of taxpayer money when government bureaucrats are in on the swindle. The Oregon Health Authority is sure proving it, with the added bonus of delivering up Oregon youth to the Queer fetish brigade. " The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) distributed a list of resources for “LGBTQIA2S+ young people” earlier this month filled with materials produced by radical transgender activists, including a biological man who regularly posts photos wearing only women’s underwear to social media and a furry named “Moss Lobos” who is known to wear a cat fursuit and has declared that “all cats are gay,” a Washington Free Beacon review found. The OHA sent an email on June 5 intended to connect young people to “support across Oregon,” encouraging them to “stay connected to resources that promote mental health, safety, belonging, and wellbeing.”

ADHD Is A “Superpower” If You Can Find Something You Love

Joe Rogan and "Yellowstone" creator Taylor Sheridan discuss how the American education and health system medicates enthusiasm out of children by labeling them "ADHD" or "autistic." ADHD a superpower if you can find something you love. People say, “How in the world can you write a script? How do you write all these things?” It's not that hard.

Once upon a time, going to school and watching a movie or a TV program wouldn't endanger your kid's moral character, but now they do. And I ask myself: Where did the rot start, when did it begin? There's an old saying: Tough times breed strong men; strong men result in good times; good times result in weak men, and so forth. I'm afraid that pretty much describes what's happened with the US. We're following the path of all great empires in the past. After Athens became rich and prosperous, they fomented the Peloponnesian War, which resulted in their collapse.
