Hillary Clinton did not post any statements condemning the Trump assassination attempt. Her first statement came in a hate-filled rant on Rachel Maddow’s show, where she called him a “danger to the world.” She directed the media to keep pressing that issue. Hillary Clinton labeled Donald Trump a “dictator” and warned that he should not […] The post Hillary Clinton Sets the Stage for a 3rd Assassination Attempt on DJT appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) published a lengthy X post on Monday night slamming the media and the Democrat Party for rhetoric before and after the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life over the weekend. Vance made the remarks after authorities in Florida arrested 58-year-old Ryan Routh — a Democrat donor with a criminal history that barred him from owning firearms — on Sunday after he hid on Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach for 12 hours armed with an AK-17. Vance, who is Trump’s vice presidential running mate, said that the rhetoric coming from the political Left was “out of control.” “It nearly got Steve Scalise and many others killed a few years ago,” he said, recounting the far-Left man who opened fire on Republican members of Congress practicing baseball while screaming, “This is for healthcare.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “Here is what we know so far: Kamala Harris has said that ‘Democracy is on the line’ in her race against President Trump. The gunman agreed, and used the exact same phrase. He had a Kamala Harris bumper sticker on his truck,” he continued. “He was obsessed with Ukraine’s ‘fight for Democracy’ and absorbed many unhinged views about the Russia-Ukraine war. His name is Ryan Routh, and he donated 19 times to Democrat causes and zero to Republican ones.” Vance continued: How do you think the Democrats and their media allies would respond if a 19-time Republican donor tried to kill a Democratic official? It’s a question that answers itself. For years, Kamala Harris’s campaign surrogates have said things like “Trump has to be eliminated.” And how have their media allies responded to the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump in as many months? NBC News called the attempted assassination a “golf club incident.” The LA Times told us “Trump Targeted at Golf Club.” The USA Today’s top of the fold headline is “Hope in America,” and they published a preposterous letter to the editor arguing that Trump “brings these assassination attempts on himself.” CNN’s Dana Bash–who just yesterday bizarrely accused me of inciting a bomb threat–said today that Harris campaign rhetoric didn’t motivate Routh even though he echoed their rhetoric explicitly. PBS’s weekend show perfectly illustrates the double standard of Kamala Harris’s media friends. After spending 30 seconds on the second assassination attempt on President Trump, they then focused on the real danger: me and President Trump, who are, according to them, personally responsible for bomb threats against Springfield. Of course, I repeatedly condemend those threats. And reports today suggest they came from a foreign country, not–as the media suggested–a deranged Trump fan. Vance ripped the media for blaming him and Trump for the bomb threats that were called into Springfield, Ohio, after the two repeated stories from residents there about problems involving migrants. “Meanwhile, Harris allies call for Trump to be eliminated as the media publishes arguments that he deserved to be shot,” he said, referencing numerous inflammatory remarks that Democrats and the media have made against Trump in recent years. “This seems like a double standard. But at a deep level, it is entirely consistent.” Vance accused the media of burying the story about tens of thousands of Haitian migrants relocating to Springfield, which has lowered the quality of life for the American citizens living there due to “higher car accidents, unaffordable housing, evictions of residents, overcrowded hospitals, overstressed schools, and rising rates of disease.” Vance continued: Kamala Harris’s first strategy was to ignore these people and their concerns. Yes, she had prevented the deportation of millions of illegal aliens, and some of them made their way to Springfield. But it was a small town with no voice. Some of the local leadership even loved the cheap labor. So the suffering of thousands of American citizens went ignored. Their next move with these stories is censorship. In Springfield, a psychopath (or a foreign government) calls in a bomb threat, so they blame that on President Trump (and me). The threat of violence is disgraceful of course, yet the media seems to relish it. They cover a bomb threat, but not the rise in murders. They cover the threat, but not the HIV uptick. They cover the threat, not the schools overwhelmed with new kids who don’t speak English. They cover the threat, not rising insurance rates or the car accidents that caused them. They cover the threat, not the failures of Kamala Harris’s leadership. The purpose is not to turn down the rhetoric. If anything, covering the bomb threats gives whoever makes them exactly what he wants: attention. The purpose is distraction and shame. How dare you talk about the problems of Haitian migration in Springfield? You’re endangering people, simply by discussing the problems of Kamala Harris’s policies. It’s a form of moral blackmail, designed not to make anyone safe but to shut everyone up. The 40-year-old said that his goal for the next 7 weeks was to “vigorously defend your right to speak your mind” and to encourage people to reject censorship. “Reject censorship and you reject political violence. Embrace censorship, and you will inevitably embrace violence on its behalf,” he added. “The reason is simple. The logic of censorship leads directly to one place, for there is only one way to permanently silence a human being: put a bullet in his brain.”

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) has about 22,000 foreign nationals in its custody, the Daily Wire has learned, and it appears that all of these prisoners are eligible for taxpayer-funded gender transitions. The topic came up during last week’s debate, when former President Donald Trump highlighted Vice President Kamala Harris’ support for taxpayer-funded gender transitions for incarcerated illegal immigrants, prompting the Harris campaign to suggest that Harris is not currently proposing the policy as part of her platform. Asked about whether it would provide a gender transition surgery for an illegal immigrant, however, a spokeswoman for the federal prison system, Emery Nelson, said the Bureau under Harris is “committed to providing all incarcerated individuals a safe and humane environment, including providing gender-affirming housing and medical care as appropriate.” The FBOP would not share how many federal prisoners have requested trans procedures. “There have been two individuals who have undergone gender-affirming surgery while in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons,” spokesman Donald Murphy told The Daily Wire, asked whether any illegal immigrants have undergone taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries. The Bureau said that “privacy, safety, and security reasons” were what restricted it from answering questions about how many prisoners have requested trans procedures. The two individuals referenced appear to be two men who now identify as transgender women: Donna Langan (also known as Peter Kevin Langan) and Cristina Nichole Iglesia (also known as Cristian Noel Iglesias and Kenneth R. West), who both received taxpayer funded gender transitions. Iglesia has since been released from prison, but Langan, a neo-Nazi accused of robbing 22 banks during a two year window, is serving a life sentence in a federal prison in Texas. As of September 5, there are a total of 158,525 federal inmates, according to the FBOP, meaning that foreign nationals currently make up about 13.9% of federal inmates. The largest chunk, 12,339, or about 7.9%, are from Mexico As of September 7, there are 1,457 men who identify as transgender women in FBOP custody, and there are 767 women who identify as men in FBOP custody. FBOP data and documents indicate that these taxpayer-funded surgeries for illegal immigrants could already be in progress — and the procedures available to trans-identifying inmates include over-the-counter laser hair removal devices, breast implants, the “removal of all of or part of the penis,” the “surgical creation of a clitoris,” “removal of one or both testicles,” and more. FBOP’s 2023 clinical guidance on “Gender-Affirming Care of Transgender and Gender Nonbinary Persons,” obtained by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project and shared with The Daily Wire, makes clear that any prisoner who self-identifies as transgender or gender nonbinary to an FBOP staff member will then be referred to a mental health professional or medical provider. That mental health professional completes an assessment, documents the inmate’s gender dysphoria or lack thereof, and initiates the “gender-affirming live experiences within the prison system.” The inmate will then meet with a medical provider and can then initiate hormone treatments. After this, the inmate can request “further gender affirmation” by living in an institution that matches his or her gender identity: for example, a male inmate who identifies as a transgender woman can request to be transferred to a female prison. The prison’s warden will request an administrative review by the FBOP Transgender Executive Council (TEC), and if approved, the inmate will be transferred to that institution aligning with their gender-identity. After 12 months of living in that institution, or 12 months of living in his or her original institution, the inmate can request “lesser” or non-invasive procedures or full-on invasive gender procedures. This request also has to be reviewed by the TEC. If the inmate meets the proper criteria, and the BOP Medical Director approves, the inmate can then undergo surgery. “Illegal aliens should be deported, not de-genitaled in prison,” the Oversight Project’s Executive Director, Mike Howell, told The Daily Wire. “It sounds crazy to say but the Harris-Biden Administration has a really highly structured policy and process for transgendering federal prisoners, including illegal aliens.  They’re not just doing the basics, they’re giving them the extras like facial hair removal.” “It will make it harder to locate and deport an illegal who has been transgendered after they’re released from prison,” Howell added. “They’ll have a whole new identity and look.” (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) Among the “minimally invasive and non-invasive gender-affirming” treatments offered by the FBOP are voice and communication training (to make an inmate’s voice sound less masculine or feminine), professional laser facial hair removal (for men who are attempting to transition to women), and “chondrolaryngoplasty,” which is tracheal shaving. “Less invasive or minor surgical procedures may be deemed medically necessary and considered on a case-by-case basis,” the 2023 clinical guidance says, citing activist claims that trans-identifying adults are at great risk of suicide if they cannot undergo gender transitions. The guidance also describes more invasive procedures for trans-identifying inmates who “have been compliant with all aspects of gender affirming care.” These transgender surgeries, which the BOP calls “gender confirming surgery,” may even be considered “medically necessary and is considered on a case-by-case basis.” Male inmates who want to try to become women can undergo a number of feminizing surgical procedures, including breast augmentation, a clitoroplasty (the creation of a fake clitoris), a labiaplasty (the creation of a fake labia around the fake vagina), a penectomy (the removal of all or part of the penis), and orchiectomy (the removal of one or both testicles). Female inmates who want to attempt a transition to become a man can undergo masculinizing surgical procedures, such as a bilateral mastectomy, male chest contouring, a hysterectomy, an ovariectomy (the removal of ovaries), a salpingo-oophorectomy (the removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes), a penile prosthesis (wherein an “erectile prosthetic device is placed to allow for an erection”), a phalloplasty (the creation of a fake penis, which can involve a number of surgeries), a scrotoplasty (the creation of a fake scrotum) and more. Discussing intake screening, the guidance cites the “Prison Rape Elimination Act” as it states that individuals “may not be disciplined for refusing to disclose” whether they identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, or gender nonconforming, and staff cannot search or physically examine inmates for the “sole purpose of determining the inmate’s genital status.” It also discusses medical conditions that require increased monitoring with testosterone therapy. If, for example, a woman who identifies as a transgender man is pregnant or breastfeeding, she should be monitored as she takes high dosages of testosterone in her attempts to become a man. The FBOP figures do not include inmates incarcerated at state correctional facilities, where it is already known that hundreds of prisoners are self-reporting as transgender, requesting transfers to facilities correlating with their gender identity, and in some cases, actually obtaining transgender surgeries and interventions. Mark Campbell, a registered sex offender who raped his own daughter, is currently housed in a prison for women — Taycheedah Correctional Institution in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin — where he has reportedly undergone a gender transition. Jason Michael Hann, who now goes by Jessica Hann and underwent taxpayer-funded gender transition, is housed on death row at Central California Women’s Facility for murdering his two children.  

A young woman was feeling grateful for the impact her late stepdad had on her life, so she shared the most beautiful tribute to him on social media. In her post, Miranda Fillenwarth told the story of how a man named Paul joined her family. When this guy married her mom, Miranda was hesitant to call him “Dad.” However, he proved himself to be a better father than she could have dreamed of! At the beginning of her slideshow, Miranda showcased her mom’s old wedding photo and a few early family pictures. She wrote that, at the time, she planned to simply call her stepfather by his first name. As she compared his love to that of her biological dad, though, she realized that Paul was the one putting in real effort. “I stopped seeing my dad at 12 years old…” the woman wrote in her post. “I guess I can call you Dad now.” Screengrab from TikTok This beautiful tribute to Miranda’s stepdad continued as she listed all the kind things this man did for her over the years. For example, he supported her interests in music and horsemanship. Whenever she had a performance, he was there to cheer her on. When she needed equipment for horseback riding, he bought it for her. As Miranda got older, her new dad was there for her through all of life’s big milestones. He purchased a beautiful prom dress for her, helped her move onto her college campus, and celebrated her decision to get engaged to the love of her life. Screengrab from TikTok Sadly, this wonderful father passed away in Miranda’s adulthood. However, the bond she shared with Paul can never be erased. In her touching tribute to her stepdad, it’s clear that this guy made a big difference in her life! Although she’s grieving his death, at least she has many beautiful memories to treasure.

The Grateful Dead is one of the few musical acts that can be said to have spawned their own culture through their music. That culture remains alive and well today, in spite of the fact that the band officially dissolved in 1995. Andy Logan of Grateful Guitars has played an integral role in ensuring that these ideals have not only remained intact over the years but are just as viable as ever in many circles. As a psychotherapist, musician, and certified Deadhead, Andy Logan wears many hats. Arguably, one of his most notable endeavors is founding the Grateful Guitars Foundation.
