Former head of a secretive US Government “remote viewing program” Hal Puthoff is going viral today for revealing that he can confirm we have retrieved at least four different types of humanoid aliens from downed UFO craft. This all came from his testimony to Congress in May 2025, now being revealed. Watch the stunning clip here: Former head of the government remote viewing program Hal Puthoff says four different types of NHI are often reported at UFO crash retrievals I suspect he is referring to Grays, Reptilians , Nordics, and Insectoids as previously stated by physicist Eric Davis to Congress “People… pic.twitter.com/4Rn7f4Gp7G — Red Panda Koala (@RedPandaKoala) May 17, 2026 The four different types are the Greys, Nordics, Reptilians and Insectoids.

And before you write it off, don’t forget Marco Rubio himself flat out told us this: Rubio: ALIEN findings SEIZED by CORPORATIONShttps://t.co/TOxAcD5f71 pic.twitter.com/lvKuPzOnFV — RT (@RT_com) May 17, 2026 Here’s more, from the NY Post: The US has recovered four distinct species of extraterrestrial life from crashed UFOs, a former CIA-funded government researcher sensationally claimed this week. Dr. Hal Puthoff, former Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program advisor and CIA-funded researcher, made the claim alongside “Age of Disclosure” director Dan Farrah on Steve Bartlett’s “The Diary of a CEO” podcast on Thursday. “People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types. Four separate types,” the 89-year-old said. “Now I have not had direct access to that but I believe the people who I talked to — four separate types of life.” The Stanford-trained quantum physicist did not detail the supposed alien species — but his longtime collaborator and former AAWSAP colleague Dr. Eric Davis claimed last year that Grays, Nordics, Insectoids, and Reptilians are the names of the biological lifeforms pulled from the wreckage of downed or crashed UFOs. Each alien species has two arms and legs and a humanoid appearance, Davis claimed, citing intelligence reports. Both the Reptilians and the Nordics are human-sized, roughly 6 feet tall, Davis said at a UAP Disclosure Fund meeting in 2025 which was attended by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.). Nordics are a race of highly-human-like creatures who, despite being from a far-flung planet, closely resemble people of northern Europe here on planet Earth. Reptilians are scaley skinned lizard-like creatures with human limbs, long tails, who walk upright, experts in the field speculate. Grays are small, massive-eyed, hairless creatures — classically depicted in films such as “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Insectoids are bug-like humanoids, sometimes referred to as Mantids because they resemble a praying mantis, ufologists speculate. As always, I don’t think they’re “aliens” at all…. Here’s what I think they are: The Best Explanation Of Genesis 6:4 I have Ever Heard I’m publishing this one for safe-keeping, because something tells me this might become VERY relevant in the near future. You know, Aliens, Demons, Angels….I think we’re about to see “Disclosure” and psyops on levels you never imagined before. I’ve been warning about this for over ten years, the only difference is that ten years ago people scoffed and laughed when I warned about this. Now, with the Trump Administration literally purchasing the Aliens.gov website, they don’t scoff or laugh anymore. And I have a feeling that what once seemed ancient and irrelevant (Genesis 6:4) might soon become one of the most relevant things you will ever learn about. With that, we go to Dr. Michael S. Heiser who offers what I believe is the clearest and best explanation of Genesis 6:4 I have ever heard….and it explains a lot!

Why? Why would I bother to cover this when this is a site about politics and breaking news? Simple — because I think this will be “breaking news” in the not-too-distant future, and you desperately need to be prepared for it!  Or you’ll be confused, overwhelmed and you might just lose your way and your foundation. You might be surprised to learn that your Bible is a supernatural book from beginning to end. In the 21st Century, we’ve tried very hard to take every supernatural thing out of the Bible, and in doing so it’s lost a ton of it’s meaning. You might also be surprised to learn that very same Bible describes in the first of the 66 Books that make up the Bible, an “alien incursion” of sorts which happens in Genesis 6:4. That incursion produces the “Nephilim” — the “Giants” which are mentioned all throughout the Old Testament. In fact, this core story line of the Bible establishes the plot for the rest of the Old Testament — YHWH and his chosen Israel against all the other Elohim “gods” and their allotted the other nations to them. It’s all right in there, just go read it. Deuteronomy 32:8-9 (ESV): “When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. But the Lord’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage.” So modern, American Christianity wants you to think only about churches with white steeples and organ music, sitting in pews and, quite frankly, being bored out of your mind the whole time. But the truth is that the Biblical narrative is more action packed than a Marvel Avengers superhero movie (spoiler alert: the Bible is actually where they get all their plot lines from in the first place!) and it’s filled with groups called the Nephilim, the Watchers, the Elohim, Angels, Demons and more! And if you don’t know who all the players are, you’re not going to understand the plot — and you’re not going to understand what’s about to play out on the world stage in our time — because the final chapter of the book has not yet fully played out yet, and there are some BIG twists and turns coming! I believe the UFO/Alien card is about to be played and it’s going to throw a lot of people into a panic.  This is likely the coming “Great Deception” the Bible talks about. So you need to be prepared and educated. As you may notice, I like to cover Clif High here from time to time because I think his work is fascinating. But as I cover him, I usually make a note that I don’t agree with all of his beliefs. One of those such beliefs is Clif essentially groups all of these different groups of beings together and calls them “The El”.  Short for Elohim. In Clif’s view, all of these supernatural “El” are likely not supernatural at all — they’re just more advanced than us and appeared like “gods” to us — and in Clif’s world view they’re all bad guys. The Bible teaches a very different story. The Bible uses the word Nephilim (or Watchers in the Book of Enoch terminology) to essentially describe the Angels who left Heaven, came to Earth, took human wives, and then created the Nephilim as their offspring. You can imagine Angels mating Humans would create some very big, very powerful children, and that’s what you got. It’s why in all the Ancient civilizations from Rome to Egypt and all around, you always have these Pantheons of “gods”. Do you think that all happened by accident? All these different ancient cultures all came up with essentially the same pantheon of “gods” just with different names? No!  It’s because these were not myths in the sense of just being made up for entertainment — they were describing what they saw. And it’s right in your Bible, right in Genesis 6:4. Genesis 6:4 (NIV): “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.” Egypt: Ra – The sun god and the king of the gods, Ra was one of the most important deities. He was believed to rule over the sky, earth, and the underworld. Osiris – God of the afterlife, resurrection, and agriculture. Osiris was a central figure in Egyptian funerary beliefs. Isis – Goddess of magic, motherhood, and fertility. She was the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus, known for her powerful protective magic. Horus – God of kingship and the sky. He was often depicted as a falcon, and the Pharaohs were seen as incarnations of Horus. Anubis – God of mummification and the afterlife. Anubis was often depicted as a jackal or with a jackal head. Thoth – God of writing, wisdom, and knowledge. He was believed to have invented hieroglyphics and was often depicted as an ibis or baboon. Hathor – Goddess of love, beauty, music, and motherhood. Hathor was one of the most widely worshiped goddesses in ancient Egypt. Seth (Set) – God of chaos, desert, and storms. He was often seen as a villainous figure who killed his brother Osiris, but he also had protective aspects. Amun – Initially a local Theban god, Amun became one of the most powerful gods after being merged with Ra, forming Amun-Ra. Ptah – God of craftsmen and architects. Ptah was revered as a creator god and was associated with building and artisanship. Rome: Jupiter – King of the gods, god of the sky and thunder. Jupiter was the Roman counterpart to the Greek god Zeus and held supreme power. Juno – Queen of the gods and goddess of marriage and childbirth. Juno was Jupiter’s wife and was often invoked to protect women. Neptune – God of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. Neptune was the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Poseidon. Mars – God of war. Mars was one of the most prominent deities in Roman culture and was believed to be the father of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. Venus – Goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. Venus was the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Aphrodite and played a key role in various myths and stories. Minerva – Goddess of wisdom, strategy, and the arts. She was the Roman counterpart to the Greek goddess Athena. Apollo – God of the sun, music, healing, and prophecy. Unlike most Roman gods who had direct counterparts in Greek mythology, Apollo’s name remained the same in both traditions. Diana – Goddess of the hunt, the moon, and nature. Diana was the Roman counterpart of the Greek goddess Artemis. Vulcan – God of fire, blacksmithing, and craftsmanship. Vulcan was the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Hephaestus and was associated with the creation of weapons and armor. Mercury – God of commerce, communication, and travel. Mercury was the Roman counterpart of the Greek god Hermes and was also the messenger of the gods. In both Bible quotes I’ve give you above, it’s important to note that the most traditional understanding of the phrase “sons of God” always refers to Angels (or Elohim). Now I want to show you this video series from Dr. Michael Heiser. Dr. Heiser was considered the leading semitic languages scholar of his time, until his recent death. He was a genius, but his true genius was in taking these complex concepts and making them easy (and fun) to understand. Dr. Heiser was as conservative and traditional in his Biblical understanding as they come.  But he had not only read his Bible, he had dissected it in its original language (that was his job).  And he knew that the Bible taught the story I’ve told you above. So he started teaching people what it really said, even going to UFO conferences (which is where the video I’m about to show you comes from). Dr. Heiser saw the writing on the wall the same as I do…. Eventually, they’re going to play the Alien Card. Some entities WILL show up and they’ll claim to be Aliens from another planet.  They’ll also claim that they seeded all life on Earth and that we should worship them. It’s coming folks. And it’s nothing new — it’s Deuteronomy 32:8-9 all over again! Know your history or be doomed to repeat it. With that background, I want to turn it over to Dr. Michael Heiser who lays it out far better than I ever could.

The sound of thousands of voices singing “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty” rose over the National Mall on Sunday as Americans from across the country gathered for one purpose: to rededicate this nation to God. Rededicate 250, a National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving hosted by Freedom 250, brought faith leaders, Trump administration officials, and believers of every background to the heart of Washington, D.C., for a full day of Scripture, worship, testimony, and prayer. The stage was set at 12th Street. The program ran from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM. And the message was unmistakable: America’s rights come from God, not government, and the nation’s next 250 years depend on her willingness to remember that. PRAISE TO THE KING OF KINGS “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come,” echoed through Rededicate 250 as the crowd worshipped together in a moving moment of praise and adoration. pic.twitter.com/UbUpFWfhgZ — Real America's Voice (RAV) (@RealAmVoice) May 17, 2026 The lineup alone told the story of a movement that crosses churches, denominations, and public life. As Washington Examiner reported, the event featured video remarks from President Donald Trump alongside appearances by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Speaker Mike Johnson, Senator Tim Scott, and Dr. Ben Carson. That is not a political rally. That is a nation on its knees. Good morning X! Today we Rededicate America to God! pic.twitter.com/Wdb1ueFZVg — US Homeland Security News (@defense_civil25) May 17, 2026 The Freedom 250 event page laid out the vision in three pillars: The Miracles that Made Us, The Miracles Still in Our Midst, and A New Birth of Faith and Freedom. Americans from every background were invited to come and prepare for the nation’s 250th birthday through Scripture, testimony, prayer, and a public rededication of the country as One Nation to God. Rededicate 250 is coming to life in the heart of Washington, D.C. and it’s going to be one of the most unforgettable moments leading into America’s 250th anniversary.

He called on patriots from every state to come together on the National Mall “under one flag and one God.” A nation worth fighting for is a nation worth praying for. Rededicate 250 on Sunday, May 17, will bring patriots from every state together on the National Mall under one flag and one God. RSVP for Sunday, May 17, in Washington, DC: https://t.co/DMaoF960Jppic.twitter.com/qpDBwgbxQx — Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (@SecWar) May 9, 2026 The day also falls inside a broader movement of prayer sweeping the country ahead of July 4. Franklin Graham launched a 50 Days of Prayer for Our Nation campaign beginning May 15, with a pastor from a different state leading prayer at noon Eastern every day through Independence Day. As Standing for Freedom Center reported, Graham said there is nothing more powerful Americans can do for the country, churches, and families than come together in prayer before God Almighty. I’m calling for 50 days of prayer for our nation as we look forward to our 250th anniversary on July 4, and it begins today! Each day, a pastor from a different state will lead us in a prayer for America at noon ET right here on my X page, and I ask you to join us. Pray with me… pic.twitter.com/PGf9rT6bmw — Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) May 15, 2026 This is what a nation turning back to God looks like. On the National Mall, in the open air, thousands of voices lifted together in worship and thanksgiving. America is 250 years old this July. The question for the next 250 was answered on the Mall on Sunday: we are, and will remain, One Nation Under God. The official Freedom 250 event page described the gathering this way: Freedom 250’s official event page framed Rededicate 250 as a National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, May 17, 2026. Gates opened at 9:00 AM, the program ran from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and the main stage was listed at 12th Street. The page described the day as a call for Americans from every background to gather before the nation’s 250th birthday with Scripture, testimony, prayer, worship, and thanksgiving. It said the purpose was to give thanks for God’s presence in America’s national life over 250 years and ask for His guidance for the next 250. The organizers framed the gathering around a public rededication of the country as One Nation to God, language that gave the day both a patriotic and unmistakably spiritual center. The event’s three pillars were The Miracles that Made Us, The Miracles Still in Our Midst, and A New Birth of Faith and Freedom. That structure put the focus on America’s founding, God’s continued mercy, and the need for national renewal as the country approaches its 250th birthday. Washington Examiner reported on the faith leaders, Trump administration officials, and worship lineup tied to the National Mall event: Washington Examiner placed the event in the America 250 calendar and described a full National Mall program with faith leaders, public officials, video remarks from President Trump, and a worship concert. The lineup included Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Speaker Mike Johnson, Ben Carson, Tim Scott, Franklin Graham, Jonathan Falwell, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, Sadie Robertson Huff, Eric Metaxas, Chris Tomlin, Blessing Offor, and Aodhan King. That mix matters because the event was not limited to one pulpit, one denomination, or one political lane. It put national leaders, pastors, evangelists, worship artists, and public servants on the same stage for a day centered on prayer and thanksgiving. The account also highlighted Hegseth’s public framing that Americans’ rights come from God, not government. That line is important to the pro-God, pro-America spine of the day: this was bigger than a patriotic ceremony. It was a public declaration that America’s liberty has a divine source. In a capital city that too often treats power as the highest authority, Rededicate 250 pointed the country back to the King above every office, agency, and court. Standing for Freedom connected the day to Franklin Graham’s 50 Days of Prayer for Our Nation: Standing for Freedom connected Rededicate 250 to Franklin Graham’s 50 Days of Prayer for Our Nation, a campaign beginning May 15 and moving toward July 4. Graham said there is nothing more powerful Americans can do for the country, churches, and families than come together in prayer before God Almighty. The campaign features daily prayer from pastors across all 50 states at noon Eastern and asks believers to pray for American households, churches, government, and the nation’s future. That gives the National Mall event a larger spiritual context: one day in D.C. was part of a 50-day national prayer push before America’s 250th birthday. It was a visible moment in the capital, but it also pointed to prayer meetings, churches, families, and believers across the country. The timing is the point. Before the fireworks and patriotic celebrations of July 4, Graham’s call asks America to humble herself, seek God’s face, and remember that national renewal begins with repentance, gratitude, and prayer.

Five Italian divers are dead after exploring an underwater cave near Alimathaa in Vaavu Atoll in the Maldives, and their families are now demanding to know what went wrong. A sixth person, a Maldivian military diver, lost his life during the dangerous attempt to recover the bodies. Four of the five victims are believed to remain trapped deep inside the cave system, roughly 160 feet below the surface. International specialists have now arrived to reassess the recovery strategy, but there are far more questions than answers right now. International cave divers have arrived in the Maldives to step up the search for the remains of four Italians who died while scuba diving in the island paradise, a day after a military officer lost his life in the recovery attempt. https://t.co/N4K4xq0YS1 pic.twitter.com/ml9A1cobBj — CNN International (@cnni) May 17, 2026 Fox News reported that the victims included Monica Montefalcone, an associate ecology professor at the University of Genoa, her daughter Giorgia Sommacal, marine biologist Federico Gualtieri, researcher Muriel Oddenino, and diving instructor Gianluca Benedetti. Benedetti was found near the cave entrance after the group failed to surface. Authorities believe the other four bodies remain deep inside a cave system near Vaavu Atoll. The cause remains under investigation, which is why the families are pushing so hard for answers. This was not a casual group of first-time tourists splashing around near a resort beach. Montefalcone was identified as an associate ecology professor at the University of Genoa. The victims also included her daughter Giorgia Sommacal, marine biologist Federico Gualtieri, researcher Muriel Oddenino, and diving instructor Gianluca Benedetti. Fox also carried the comments of Italian pulmonologist Claudio Micheletto, who told Adnkronos that five deaths during the same dive event pointed toward a possible problem with the tanks or what the divers breathed. That possibility is not confirmed, but it is exactly the kind of question investigators now have to answer. A Maldivian military diver, Mohamed Mahudhee, later died from decompression sickness during the dangerous recovery operation. That means this disaster has now claimed six lives, including one man who died trying to bring the others home. That detail about the breathing mixture deserves serious attention from investigators. Italian pulmonologist Claudio Micheletto told Adnkronos, as reported by Fox, that five fatalities on the same dive points toward a potential equipment or gas issue. Carlo Sommacal, husband of Monica Montefalcone and father of Giorgia Sommacal, rejected any suggestion that the group acted recklessly. He told reporters his wife would never have put their daughter or others at risk. Italy’s Foreign Ministry confirmed the group apparently died while attempting to explore caves at a depth of about 50 meters, or roughly 164 feet. The recreational diving limit in the Maldives is 30 meters, about 98 feet, which means the group was operating well beyond the legal threshold for recreational diving in that country. Recovery operation for Italian divers killed in Maldives cave ends without finding remaining four bodies https://t.co/f3ehkA3IRc pic.twitter.com/RNqI4NOmq7 — New York Post (@nypost) May 16, 2026 The Associated Press reported that three Finnish divers, described as experts in deep and cave diving, arrived in the Maldives on May 17 to draw up a fresh recovery plan. The initial search was suspended after a local military diver died during the attempt to reach the bodies. Maldives presidential spokesperson Mohamed Hussain Shareef said Mohamed Mahudhee, a member of the Maldivian National Defense Force, died of underwater decompression sickness after being transferred to a hospital in the capital. The group of five Italians is believed to have died while exploring a cave at a depth of about 50 meters, or 160 feet, in Vaavu Atoll. The recreational diving limit in the Maldives is 30 meters, or about 98 feet. Three Finnish divers arrived in the Maldives on Sunday to draw up a fresh plan for the search. They were described as experts in deep and cave diving and joined the Maldives coast guard for a meeting focused on mapping a new recovery strategy. That is the difficult reality officials are facing now. Even recovering the bodies has become so dangerous that outside specialists had to be brought in after one rescuer already died. Mohamed Mahudhee gave his life trying to bring closure to five Italian families. Officials in the Maldives called his death a matter of deep sorrow for the entire country. Sky News reported that Sommacal expressed hope the bodies of his wife and daughter would be found for the family and because Monica usually carried a GoPro when she went diving. The search for the bodies of four Italian divers believed to be deep inside the underwater cave was suspended after a military diver died trying to reach them. A Maldivian official said the death of the National Defence Force diver was a matter of deep sorrow for every citizen. Sommacal said he wanted the bodies of his wife and daughter recovered for the sake of the family. He also said Monica usually carried a GoPro when she went diving, which could make any recovered footage important to understanding what happened. The other four divers were believed to be inside the same cave, which extends to roughly 60 meters. Italy’s embassy in Sri Lanka was also working to contact victims’ families and provide consular assistance. For the families, recovery is about more than burial and grief. It may be the only path to evidence that can explain whether this was a depth mistake, an equipment failure, a breathing-gas problem, panic inside the cave, or some chain of events nobody has yet identified. If that GoPro footage exists and is recovered, it could answer questions that no one on the surface can answer right now. This is a devastating story on every level. A mother and her daughter went into the water together and never came back. A soldier died trying to bring them home. The families are right to demand answers, and investigators owe them a full and transparent accounting of what happened in that cave, including what was in those tanks and who organized the dive.

President Trump’s Justice Department and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton just delivered a major win for children, parents, and taxpayers. Texas Children’s Hospital has agreed to a landmark settlement that forces one of America’s biggest children’s hospitals to pay over $10 million, stop pediatric sex-rejecting procedures, and create the nation’s first-ever detransition clinic. The settlement was announced May 15 and came through a coordinated effort between DOJ and Paxton’s office. For a country that has watched the medical establishment lecture parents for years, this is a very different kind of headline. BREAKING: I just made history by securing a landmark healthcare fraud settlement that creates the nation’s first-ever Detransition Clinic and secures $10 million from Texas Children’s Hospital for “transitioning” kids. pic.twitter.com/EnL5F7JMlY — Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX) May 15, 2026 The Department of Justice described the resolution in blunt terms: DOJ announced what it called the first resolution secured under its ongoing national investigation into violations of federal law connected to pediatric sex-rejecting procedures, often called gender-affirming care. Texas Children’s Hospital entered agreements with DOJ and the Texas Attorney General that include commitments not to perform those procedures on children, including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. The hospital also agreed to collectively pay over $10 million in damages and civil penalties. DOJ said Texas Children’s will dedicate millions more to medical care for children harmed by those procedures, described by DOJ as detransitioners. The hospital will establish the first-ever detransition clinic to provide care for victims. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department would use every weapon at its disposal to end what he called the destructive and discredited practice of so-called gender-affirming care for children. That is not the language of a bureaucracy looking for a quiet paperwork settlement. That is the federal government treating this as an accountability fight. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton added the Medicaid fraud component and the clinic details: Paxton’s office said the settlement compels Texas Children’s Hospital to create the country’s first-ever Detransition Clinic. It also requires the hospital to pay $10 million for billing Texas Medicaid for unallowable and illegal gender-transition interventions, including by using false diagnosis codes. The clinic will be multidisciplinary and designed to provide care to patients who were subjected to gender-transition procedures. For the first five years, services through the clinic will be funded by Texas Children’s and provided free of charge to patients. Paxton’s office also said Texas Children’s agreed to fire, permanently and irrevocably terminate existing privileges, and never again hire or credential five doctors who performed the interventions. The settlement also bars Texas Children’s from providing gender-transition services and imposes compliance and ethics measures. Paxton said he would investigate and bring the full force of the law against any Texas hospital that abuses children with harmful medical interventions to transition kids. That is exactly the kind of line Republican voters have been begging their leaders to draw. Free care for five years, funded by the hospital. That is what accountability starts to look like when officials stop hiding behind polite institutional language. The Daily Caller covered the broader reaction, including from Dr. Eithan Haim: America’s largest children’s hospital agreed to open the nation’s first Detransition Clinic after years of controversy over pediatric sex-change procedures. The clinic will provide free detransition services for its first five years under the settlement. The agreement requires a $10 million payment over alleged Medicaid fraud and compels termination and revocation of privileges for multiple physicians. Texas Children’s said it made the difficult decision to settle with the Texas Attorney General and DOJ while disputing the broader political framing of the case. Dr. Eithan Haim, who helped expose what was happening at Texas Children’s, praised Paxton and his team after the settlement was announced. Haim said the impossible had been done and that he could not believe the country’s first detransitioner clinic would open at Texas Children’s Hospital. The report also connected the settlement to the broader fight over whether hospitals can keep treating these cases as normal medicine while taxpayers are billed for disputed interventions. That reaction matters because Haim became one of the central voices warning Texans about what was happening inside the hospital. The impossible was done by @KenPaxtonTX and his team at the @TXAG‘s office. Because of their hard work, the country’s first detransitioner clinic will be opening at Texas Children’s Hospital. I cannot believe this happened. https://t.co/92Kdp9fOv8 — Eithan Haim MD (@EithanDHaimMD) May 15, 2026 For years, the left insisted parents had no right to question this industry. They called it settled science, branded dissenters as bigots, and told the country to trust the same institutions that were billing Medicaid for procedures Texas now says were unallowable and illegal. Now the Trump DOJ and Ken Paxton have forced a different conversation. A hospital will pay millions, doctors will lose privileges, and the first clinic of its kind will exist to help patients trying to recover from what was done to them. Every hospital in America that performed these procedures on minors should be paying attention. The era of doing this to children and expecting taxpayers to quietly pick up the bill is over. What do you reckon?

President Donald Trump is set to speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, putting Iran squarely back at the center of U.S. foreign policy just days after Trump’s high-profile trip to China. The call comes as regional intelligence officials reportedly believe Tehran is pursuing a strategy of deception and delay, hoping to run out the clock on any return to military action. Netanyahu confirmed Sunday morning that the conversation was planned, saying he expected to hear Trump’s impressions from Beijing. Both countries agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. pic.twitter.com/7hYMIBoTZY — The White House (@WhiteHouse) May 14, 2026 The White House post from May 14 laid down a clear marker: both the United States and China now publicly agree that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. It was a significant diplomatic alignment, and it did not happen by accident. *TRUMP SAYS CHINA'S XI OFFERED TO HELP ON IRAN: FOX NEWS — zerohedge (@zerohedge) May 14, 2026 Fox News reported that Trump is weighing whether to restart military action against Iran after Tehran rejected his demand to abandon its nuclear weapons aspirations. President Trump was set for a Sunday call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while the Iran standoff moved back into the center of the news cycle. Netanyahu said Sunday morning that he expected to speak with Trump, hear the president’s impressions from China, and discuss other matters. He added that Israel was prepared for every scenario. The timing matters because the crisis still includes Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the Strait of Hormuz, and the question of whether American military action could restart. Two regional intelligence officials said Tehran appeared to be using deception and delay. Their assessment was that Iran hoped to stretch the crisis long enough to make any return to military action more difficult politically and operationally. The pressure campaign is also being felt inside Iran. Early signs cited in the account included fuel shortages, rising prices, unemployment, and accelerating inflation. That is the backdrop for the Trump-Netanyahu call. It is diplomacy, deterrence, and military possibility all moving at once. Fox placed the Sunday conversation inside a broader escalation question rather than treating it as a routine diplomatic check-in. The report also described visible economic pain inside Iran from the U.S.-led blockade, including fuel shortages, rising prices, unemployment, and inflation. The Strait of Hormuz crisis remains unresolved, adding another pressure point to an already volatile situation. Netanyahu, speaking in Hebrew, said Israel was “prepared for every scenario” and that “there were many possibilities” on the table. That kind of language from Jerusalem is never casual. Trump’s Beijing trip produced something rare: a joint statement with Xi Jinping that Iran must never possess a nuclear weapon. Xi reportedly offered to help on Iran, a development that strips Tehran of its most important potential diplomatic shield. If China is willing to stand alongside the United States on the nuclear question, Iran’s options narrow considerably. The Sunday call between Trump and Netanyahu will be watched closely. With the blockade squeezing Iran’s economy, China publicly aligned against Tehran’s nuclear program, and military action reportedly back under active consideration, the diplomatic runway for the regime is getting shorter by the day. Iran’s strategy of delay only works if nobody is paying attention. Right now, everyone is. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.
