Six Months After Minneapolis Pledged To Dismantle The Police, Residents Grapple With Triple Digit Increase In Carjackings

Carjackings in Minneapolis during November were up 537 % from the same month last year amid an ongoing spike in violent crime in the city since George Floyd ’ s death in late May .
“ The numbers are staggering , ” Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder told the Star Tribune .
“ It defies all civility and any shred of common human decency.

Joe Biden plans to keep FBI Director Christopher Wray in his post if President Trump hasn’t fired him before he leaves office (should his challenges to the election fail), according to the New York Times, citing an anonymous senior Biden official ‘not authorized to speak publicly.’
Wray notably sat on evidence from Hunter Biden’s laptop indicating that Joe Biden was indeed involved in Hunter’s Ukraine dealings – while Democrats impeached Trump for asking Ukraine to investigate Biden corruption. The Wray FBI also withheld exonerating evidence in the case of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, which was only pried loose by attorney Sidney Powell.
And while Wray, a Republican, was technically installed by President Trump after he fired former Director James Comey (an Obama appointee), the decision to leave Wray in charge of the FBI “would be a return to the norms around FBI directors, who are confirmed by the Senate and are supposed to have 10-year terms,” according to the Times.- READ MORE

Top U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci was named one of People magazine’s four “2020 People of the Year,” the magazine announced Wednesday.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the long-time director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), received the honor alongside Hollywood stars George Clooney and Regina King, and singer Selena Gomez, according to People. Fauci has been at the forefront of the U.S. effort to stop the spread of coronavirus throughout the pandemic.
“Dr. Anthony Fauci stepped up to be the doctor America needed in 2020, providing steady guidance during the pandemic,” People magazine wrote.
“Even though he and his family were getting death threats, he continued to be out front, reassuring us during turbulent times with his devoted public service, unflappable common sense, and life-saving leadership,” the article continued.
Fauci, who participated in a photo shoot for his “People of the Year” feature, condemned “divisiveness in society” in an interview with the magazine. He added that over the course of his career, he has never seen the level of hostility that exists in the U.S. now.
“Even someone who is trying to get people to implement public health measures that will be saving their lives, is met with enough hostility to trigger threats of violence against not only me, but against my family,” Fauci told People.
Throughout the pandemic, President Donald Trump has publicly butted heads with Fauci. The president even floated firing the NIAID director before the Nov. 3 election.
“He’s a nice man though, but he’s been wrong on a lot,” Trump said on Nov. 2. “Do not under any circumstances wear a mask, he said. Do not close up to China, he said, then he said later on that Trump — President Trump saved tens of thousands of lives because I closed early.”
Clooney received the honor for his work with the Clooney Foundation for Justice, according to People. The actor donated $500,000 to the Equal Justice Initiative following the death of George Floyd, who died in Minneapolis police custody in May.

In the aftermath of a singularly high-stakes election, as President Donald Trump fights to ensure that every legal vote is counted, Joe Biden claims to want to unify our nation and even “heal” our collective soul. There is ample reason for skepticism. By all indications, Biden and Kamala Harris have not changed their plans to lead from the extreme Left on issues like abortion, contrary to the will of the overwhelming majority of Americans.
The abortion lobby spent unprecedented sums to elect Democrats. They expect swift fulfillment of their wish list. We must not underestimate the damage a pro-abortion White House could inflict through personnel choices, executive orders, and regulatory actions.
Personnel is policy, and President Trump assembled a pro-life dream Cabinet. Vice President Mike Pence recently became the first sitting vice president to visit a pro-life pregnancy center, while Alex Azar and Mike Pompeo have led a united front in domestic and foreign affairs, standing up to pro-abortion radicals at the United Nations and spearheading a multinational coalition to assert that no international “right” to abortion exists. In contrast, a potential Biden Cabinet would most likely be stacked with abortion industry cronies, with disastrous results.
First on the list of executive orders is the reinstatement of taxpayer funding to groups that promote abortion overseas. President Trump took the pro-life Mexico City Policy to a unique new level, expanding it to include all global health aid. His State Department even ceased working with foreign NGOs engaged in the abortion business. Biden could restore funding on day one and make the United States the world’s top abortion exporter again.
Next is the reinsertion of abortion in family planning. Under President Trump, for the first time ever, abortion giant Planned Parenthood forfeited $60 million in Title X funding. Also for the first time, pro-life pregnancy centers were welcome to apply for Title X funds. A Biden administration could force these centers to be involved in abortion or risk losing federal aid.
Pro-life conscience protections, strengthened under President Trump, would also be on the chopping block. No one — not pro-life health care workers, or religious organizations, or moral objectors like Susan B. Anthony List — should ever be coerced to participate in the destruction of innocent human life. Biden has promised to force the Little Sisters of the Poor to provide abortion-inducing drugs in their health plans.
Biden and Harris have both endorsed the idea of using the executive branch to scrutinize (and presumably reject) pro-life legislation brought forth in the states. Their authority to carry out this aggressive violation of the separation of powers is dubious at best. Like Roe v. Wade, it would prevent the people and their chosen representatives from enacting a variety of popular pro-life laws, like bans on discrimination abortions targeting unborn children with Down syndrome, or laws requiring parental involvement when minor girls seek abortions.
Perhaps most dangerous of all, abortion advocates are pushing to roll back Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical safety standards for chemical abortion drugs. According to Charlotte Lozier Institute, abortion drugs are driving a worrisome uptick in the number of abortions nationwide. A Biden-Harris administration could convert every post office and pharmacy into a virtual abortion center — a longtime goal of the abortion industry, which prioritizes profits over health and safety. The threat to unborn children and their mothers is staggering.
What can pro-life advocates do? The unfortunate reality is that we have little to no control over executive actions. However, we can work to stop the White House and congressional Democrats from eliminating the filibuster, expanding the Supreme Court, creating new pro-abortion states, or rolling back longstanding pro-life policies like the Hyde Amendment that save millions of lives.

Biden and Harris clearly have no mandate to impose their deeply unpopular abortion agenda. We must remain vigilant and continue calling out their extremism, but if the 2020 elections prove anything, it is that we can win the long-term battle for life.

UK High Court Rules Children Under 16 ‘Unlikely To Be Able To Give Informed Consent’ To Puberty Blockers

A United Kingdom high court ruled Tuesday that children under the age of 16 are “ unlikely ” to be mature enough “ to be able to give informed consent ” to puberty blocking drugs .
“ It is highly unlikely that a child aged 13 or under would be competent to give consent to the administration of puberty blockers , ” three senior judges said , according to the Guardian .
“ It is doubtful that a child aged 14 or 15 could understand and weigh the long-term risks and consequences of the administration of puberty blockers.
” Dame @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s bench division , Lord Justice Lewis and Mrs Justice Lieven ruled that for teenagers under 18 , a doctor may have to obtain authorization from the courts before medical intervention , the Guardian reported .
The judges also said that a child under 16 may only consent to puberty blockers “ where he or she is competent to understand the nature of the treatment , ” noting that it could be enormously difficult for young children to properly weigh and decide on this information .
The child ’ s understanding must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the treatment , the limited evidence available as to its efficacy or purpose , the fact that the vast majority of patients proceed to the use of cross-sex hormones , and its potential life-changing consequences for a child , ” according to the Guardian .
The ruling came in a case against the Tavistock and Portman NHS trust , according to the publication , a trust that runs the main children ’ s gender identity development service in the United Kingdom .
The claim was brought before the court by the mother @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the waiting list for treatment as well as 23-year-old Keira Bell , who started puberty blockers at 16 and ultimately de-transitioned , the Guardian reported .

A United Kingdom high court ruled Tuesday that children under the age of 16 are “unlikely” to be mature enough “to be able to give informed consent” to puberty blocking drugs.
“It is highly unlikely that a child aged 13 or under would be competent to give consent to the administration of puberty blockers,” three senior judges said, according to the Guardian. “It is doubtful that a child aged 14 or 15 could understand and weigh the long-term risks and consequences of the administration of puberty blockers.”
Dame Victoria Sharp, president of the Queen’s bench division, Lord Justice Lewis and Mrs Justice Lieven ruled that for teenagers under 18, a doctor may have to obtain authorization from the courts before medical intervention, the Guardian reported.
The judges also said that a child under 16 may only consent to puberty blockers “where he or she is competent to understand the nature of the treatment,” noting that it could be enormously difficult for young children to properly weigh and decide on this information.
I’ve been following this debate for awhile, and based on what I’ve seen my prediction is that this will elicit some calm, thoughtful discussion touching upon developmental psychology, bioethics, and other areas, with no fiery recriminations whatsoever.https://t.co/w4Z1Kjm4vw — Jesse Singal (@jessesingal) December 1, 2020
The child’s understanding must include “the immediate and long-term consequences of the treatment, the limited evidence available as to its efficacy or purpose, the fact that the vast majority of patients proceed to the use of cross-sex hormones, and its potential life-changing consequences for a child,” according to the Guardian.
The ruling came in a case against the Tavistock and Portman NHS trust, according to the publication, a trust that runs the main children’s gender identity development service in the United Kingdom.
The claim was brought before the court by the mother of a 15-year-old autistic girl who was on the waiting list for treatment as well as 23-year-old Keira Bell, who started puberty blockers at 16 and ultimately de-transitioned, the Guardian reported.
“The Tavistock have immediately suspended new referrals for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for the under 16s, which in future will only be permitted where a court specifically authorises it,” an NHS spokesperson told the Guardian. “Dr Hilary Cass is conducting a wider review on the future of gender identity services.”

A Los Angeles County public official was quoted by the Los Angeles Daily News as saying those who defy the public health order to wear a mask in public in response to the virus pandemic are guilty of an “act of domestic terrorism.”
“If it were up to me, anybody not wearing a mask when they are out in public would be arrested … That’s an act of domestic terrorism and should be treated like one,” Lancaster, California, Mayor Rex Parris, recently said.
Parris’ comment comes as his small town of 156,000, located in northern Los Angeles County, is in a county where cases on Monday recorded the worst day thus far of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s perfectly understood for Parris to be frustrated considering the virus pandemic is ravaging the county, though equating non-compliant folks as domestic terrorism is absurd.- READ MORE
