Former President Donald Trump has vowed to imprison doctors who perform sex-change surgeries on children. Trump spoke Tuesday in Howell, Michigan, at the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office in his sixth visit to the state this year. “To [...] The post Trump Vows To Ban Child Sex Change Surgeries: “Doctors Who Do This Are Going to Jail” appeared first on The People's Voice.

New Jersey Representative Bill Pascrell Jr. has died at age 87. 

Wednesday marks the first outdoor rally that 2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has attended since the assassination attempt on his life on July 13th.

Authorities reported that during a 15-hour standoff with police at a Chicago restaurant, located only a few blocks from the Democratic National Convention, a man wanted for murder and armed robbery charges was brought into custody on Wednesday.

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings keyed in on a bit of irony during the network’s coverage of the Democratic National Convention — namely that Democrats want Americans to believe they can fix inflation, the border, and other issues despite the fact that they have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years and have not done so. Jennings broached the topic during a panel discussion hosted by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper — and he asked, among other things, why Vice President Kamala Harris was promising to fix things as president that she did not appear to have any interest in fixing while she was vice president.

Look at the faces on the CNN panel as a huge truth bomb is dropped. “Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years, and somehow, it’s still all Trump’s fault.” pic.twitter.com/JFc9zBPAS1 — SweetPeaBelle (@SweetPeaBell326) August 21, 2024 “She’s in the White House right now,” Jennings said of Harris. “Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years, and for all of the talk about division and the problems of the country, people are hurting — Democrats have mostly controlled the country.” “Trump had it for four, but the Obamas and Biden had it for the rest of the time,” he continued. “And somehow, it’s still all Trump’s fault, and somehow, [Harris] hasn’t been at the center of it.” Jennings concluded by asking why Americans should believe that Harris could solve problems as president that she did not appear to even be working on as vice president.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly set to drop out of the presidential race this week and will address the nation while speaking in the same city as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. ABC News reported that Kennedy will drop out by the end of the week and is leaning toward endorsing Trump, but no decision has been finalized. Kennedy’s campaign said that he will make a live address on Friday in Phoenix, which comes as Trump will be holding a rally in Glendale, Arizona, which is a suburb of Phoenix. Trump said this week that he was open to Kennedy joining his administration if Kennedy were to drop out and endorse him, which could put Trump over the edge this fall against Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. “He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump said. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.” Trump said that he would “love” an endorsement from Kennedy because he’s “always liked” him. He indicated that he “probably would” appoint Kennedy to a role in the administration if Kennedy were to drop out and endorse him. “I like him a lot. I respect him a lot,” Trump said. “I probably would, if something like that would happen. He’s a very different kind of a guy — a very smart guy. And, yeah, I would be honored by that endorsement, certainly.” This is a breaking news story; refresh the page for updates.

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign indicated on Tuesday that he would make performing transgender surgeries on minors without parental consent a felony. The promise appeared in Trump’s prepared remarks for his Tuesday rally at the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department in Howell, Michigan. Excerpts of his prepared remarks were released by his campaign ahead of the event. “And to protect our children from sexual mutilation, we will make it a felony for any medical professional to perform surgery on a minor without parental consent,” Trump’s remarks read. Members of the Trump campaign shared the news about the former president’s vow on social media. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

The Biden administration has pushed to keep such interventions legal for minors, arguing against age restrictions for some transgender procedures in one Alabama court case, documents show. At least 25 U.S. states have passed restrictions on transgender surgeries and hormone treatments for minors. Republicans in state legislatures have butted heads with Democrats on whether to keep the treatments legal. Transgender surgeries like double mastectomy and phalloplasty for females and vaginoplasty for males are not reversible. Genital surgeries are less commonly performed on children, but some trans-identifying minors go on to receive them as adults. Some of the effects of hormone treatments, such as voice damage, are also irreversible. Last year, Trump promised to task several federal agencies with working to “stop” transgender medical interventions for minors, calling it “child abuse.” Additionally, Trump had said he would prohibit federal agencies from working to “promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age.” The Republican nominee also said last year that he would push schools to “promote positive education about the nuclear family” and “the roles of mothers and fathers.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Detransitioners, people who underwent transgender surgeries and hormone treatments at a young age but now express regrets, have spoken out in recent years about how the treatments harmed them. Some have accused their doctors of not addressing their underlying mental issues, such as autism, anxiety, or depression, before shunting them towards transgender medicalization. Meanwhile, parents have reacted strongly to public schools secretly affirming their children’s new gender identities behind their backs. More than 19,000 schools across the country have rules saying school staff can or should hide a student’s gender identity from parents, according to a list compiled by Parents Defending Education. Only about 44% of Democrats said they are opposed to schools counseling children on their sexual orientation and gender identity without parental knowledge, one poll found last year.
