An employment tribunal rejected her case, with the judge stating that her views could cause “enormous pain” to transgender persons and that Forstater’s view—still held by the majority—is “not worthy of respect in a democratic society.”
(Article by Jonathon Van Maren republished from LifeSiteNews.com)
In an encouraging turn of events, this ruling appears to have been a bridge too far for many staunch progressives, and even Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, a woman with impeccable left-wing credentials, appears to have had enough.
“Dress however you please,” Rowling wrote. “Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill.”
The transgender movement promptly exploded into action, and Rowling’s Twitter feed was swarmed by LGBT activists spewing a firehose of hate, accusing her of placing trans lives at risk, calling her a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), and demanding that she retract her statement. As I wrote at the time, I thought it was likely that Rowling would back down once she realized that the LGBT movement isn’t about #LoveWins, but is very willing to do everything in their power to destroy her for violating our culture’s new blasphemy laws. The script is a familiar one: The mob descends, the target retracts and apologizes, and the LGBT mafia’s power is cemented further.
But rather shockingly, Rowling decided not to play along. She posted the tweet and left it there. When the LGBT lobby group GLAAD contacted Rowling’s people to arrange a meeting in which they would explain to the author why she was wrong, Rowling declined the opportunity.

If she refuses to cave & survives cancellation she licenses wholesale dissent from Woke orthodoxy. This is now a Big Deal.”
Others have come to her defense. Comedian Ricky Gervais’s Twitter missives fairly dripped with sarcasm: “Those awful biological women can never understand what it must be like for you becoming a lovely lady so late in life. They take their girly privileges for granted. Winning at female sports and having their own toilets. Well, enough is enough.” Ayaan Hiris Ali also tweeted her support: “Very brave J K Rowling for standing up for women.” Trans activists were watching their grip on the public conversation slip before their very eyes.
And so it appears that in the waning days of the decade, J.K. Rowling (of all people) may have done enormous damage to the most powerful tool the LGBT lobby has to control the public narrative and enforce their new dogmas: Cancel culture. As Megan McArdle noted in the Washington Post:
Institutions reward the mob by firing employees, yanking advertising or inflicting other punishments. Those in the mob-ridden middle quietly think this insane but also quietly think the better of saying so out loud. Which is how the Terrible Tens became the decade of the online mob.

The usual script for what would follow: Rowling vanishes the tweet, apologizes and goes on a listening tour until she had been sufficiently reeducated to explain how wrong she’d been. But Rowling didn’t recite her lines…The censorious power of Mrs. Grundys always depends on the cooperation of the governed, which is why their regime collapsed the moment the baby boomers shrugged off their finger-wagging. If Rowling provides an unmissable public demonstration that it is safe to ignore the current crop, we can hope others will follow her example, and the dictatorship of the proscriptariat will fall as quickly as it arose.
Rowling has now proven that high profile figures can announce their dissent from our new sexual orthodoxies, get “cancelled,” and survive it with little effect. Cancel culture only works when everyone plays along and agrees to actually cancel the person being targeted, and trans activists are fully aware that if their attempts fail, others will take notice. They tried to get Jordan Peterson fired, and he got rich and famous. They tried to force Rowling to back down, and she ignored them. They’re complaining that Ricky Gervais is a “transphobe” and as such should not be allowed to host the Golden Globes, but no cancellation has been forthcoming.
If this keeps up, their threats may soon fall on deaf ears. And if that happens, we’ll know that 2019 was the highwater mark of their cultural power.

Take care of the gut to treat anxiety
Scientists have suspected for a long time that the gut and the brain were somehow connected. In recent decades, they have explored the relationship between the two and found that gut microbiota could help regulate brain function and vice-versa, a concept referred to as the gut-brain axis.
The gut microbiota is composed of trillions of microorganisms in the digestive tract. These help with important body functions such as metabolism and immunity. Earlier studies have shown that an imbalance, or a dysbiosis, in this micro-ecosystem could contribute to anxiety. However, these studies were unclear about how regulating intestinal microbiota treated mental disorders, especially anxiety. For the current study, the researchers reviewed academic articles and randomized controlled trials that examined it.
The team selected 21 studies, which investigated 1,503 participants collectively. Out of the 21 studies, 14 used probiotics while seven studies used non-probiotic methods, such as changing a person's diet. Probiotics are living microorganisms that benefit a person's health, especially when eaten or applied to the body. Some examples of probiotic-rich foods include fermented foods like miso and tempeh.

Tips to maintain a healthy gut
It's increasingly clear that a healthy gut can bring positive effects when it comes to brain health. Here are some tips to maintain a healthy gut:
Manage stress levels better. Being stressed all the time can negatively affect a person's gut health. Incorporate meditation, yoga, or walking into daily schedules to decrease stress levels. (Related: Understanding the gut-brain axis: Can a probiotic help reduce stress levels?)

naturalnews--2020-01-07--Sleeper cell President? Obama granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians as part of securing nuclear deal

( Natural News ) As tensions ramp up ( anew ) between the United States and Iran following President Trump ’ s decision to take out Tehran ’ s terrorist mastermind , Al-Quds Force leader Gen.

It sure seems likely .

(Natural News) As tensions ramp up (anew) between the United States and Iran following President Trump’s decision to take out Tehran’s terrorist mastermind, Al-Quds Force leader Gen. Qassem Soleimani, it’s worth remembering all of the things President Obama did to empower that regime at the expense of American security.
Not only was the so-called “nuclear deal” a sham that temporarily postponed Iran’s atomic weapons development, but Obama and his chief deputy on the deal, Secretary of State John Kerry, enriched the Iranians and, likely, put Americans at risk.
One of the concerns following the targeting of Soleimani by critics (and some allies) of the president is that the Iranians will retaliate for it at a time and place of their choosing.
Writing for Natural News this week, founder and editor Mike Adams claimed that Tehran could soon activate “sleeper cells” its proxies have placed inside the U.S. long ago:
…Islamic terrorist networks have been in place for years. What most Americans don’t yet fully realize is that Barack Obama helped fund these terror networks through a complex international money laundering scheme that delivered over $150 billion to Iran during the Obama administration. At least $1 billion went to fund Iran’s nuclear weapons program, with full knowledge from Obama. (Obama also helped Iran capture a U.S. drone and two Navy boats in order to give Iran U.S. military encryption technology.)
As a result, radical Islamic terror cells have a pervasive presence in New York, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, Orlando, Tucson and many other cities.
He’s not alone in that concern. Writing in The Federalist, Todd Bensman noted that it’s more likely any Iranian ‘revenge’ attacks won’t come from overseas against American military bases and U.S. warships, but against American citizens right here at home. (Related: Trump has been warning Iran to back off since he took office (here’s the timeline.)
Citing court documents and other open source evidence, Bensman wrote:
Iranian avengers, in the form of Quds Force-supported Hezbollah operatives of the clandestine “Unit 910,” are stationed in cities across America, set to activate pending distant command on target lists they have painstakingly developed over time. Hezbollah operatives also are positioned throughout Latin America, where American officials and economic interests are ubiquitous, at least as close as Nicaragua.
2,500 additional sleepers?
He says that Shiite Muslims from Lebanon — where Iranian proxy Hezbollah has a large presence — were recruited long ago and trained to live in U.S. cities as sleepers of that group’s clandestine External Security Organization (ESO), which is also known as Unit 910.
But what about Obama’s role in all of that? Flashback to July 2, 2018, to a report by Fox News: Obama, as part of securing the nuclear deal, granted citizenship to some 2,500 Iranians.
At least, that was a claim made by Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zolnour, chairman of Iran’s parliamentary nuclear committee and a member of the governing body’s national security and foreign affairs committee.
Zolnour said the Obama administration agreed to make the 2,500 Iranians U.S. citizens as a means of currying favor with senior Iranian officials linked to President Hassan Rouhani. He said the mutual agreement “sparked a competition among Iranian officials over whose children would benefit from the scheme,” Fox News’ Chris Irvine reported.
“When Obama, during the negotiations about the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), decided to do a favor to these men, he granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians and some officials started a competition over whose children could be part of these 2,500 Iranians,” he claimed.
“If today these Iranians get deported from America, it will become clear who is complicit and sells the national interest like he is selling candies to America,” he added.
Sleeper cells were already in the country, according to Bensman and Adams. Did Obama put scores more inside the country on his own? It sure seems likely.

Climate change narrative collapses as investigators determine up to 85% of Australia's fires were started by people

( Natural News ) These days , whenever there is a massive wildfire anywhere on the planet , Left-wing lunatics crawl out of the woodwork to claim that the ‘ cause ’ of such fires is due to “ global warming ” and “ climate change ” brought about by human activities .
Cattle farts , SUVs , and modern power plants are doing to the planet what meteors , massive volcanoes , and the Ice Age couldn ’ t do , we are told : Destroy Earth and kill billions of people .
The latest example comes from none @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of wildfires has ravaged millions of acres .
Only , the fires were not caused by modern technology ; they were caused by modern humans .

(Natural News) These days, whenever there is a massive wildfire anywhere on the planet, Left-wing lunatics crawl out of the woodwork to claim that the ‘cause’ of such fires is due to “global warming” and “climate change” brought about by human activities.
Cattle farts, SUVs, and modern power plants are doing to the planet what meteors, massive volcanoes, and the Ice Age couldn’t do, we are told: Destroy Earth and kill billions of people.
The latest example comes from none other than Australia, where a series of wildfires has ravaged millions of acres. Only, the fires were not caused by modern technology; they were caused by modern humans.
As MIT claimed in a January 2 post:
Summer wildfires are common in Australia, but climate change is making them worse. Spring rainfall has declined in recent decades, even as temperatures rise, extreme heat events become more common, and droughts turn more severe, according to a 2018 report by Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology.
Greg Norman, a Hall of Fame golfer from Australia and not a climate scientist, also blamed the fires on the “stupidity of humanity,” though he did not seem to harbor any such feelings for modern life when he was jetting around the globe winning lots of golf tournaments (and a whole lotta money).
“I see it on my ranch in Colorado where the seasons are getting later. It used to snow in the early part of September, now we don’t get any snow until the middle of October,” he said, according to TMZ. “We’re seeing this change take place and the stupidity of humanity … Are we to blame to some degree? Yes. We ARE to blame to some degree. Are we to blame 100%? No, but whatever that degree is, let’s fix the problem.”

California Democrats introduce bill to protect pedophiles who lure and sexually abuse innocent children

( Natural News ) A handful of leftist politicians in California recently introduced a new bill that they claim will “ end blatant discrimination against LGBT young people regarding California ’ s sex offender registry.
” But the devil is in the details , as the bill would actually protect adult sex offenders who prey upon and assault minors .
State Senator Scott Wiener ( D-San Francisco ) and Assemblywoman Susan Eggman ( D-Stockton ) reportedly co-introduced the legislation , dubbed Senate Bill 145 , which would explicitly exempt sexual predators who are within 10 years of age of their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as sex offenders in the state ’ s official database .
As it currently stands in California , cases of illegal sexual intercourse between teenagers age 15 and over and others within 10 years of their age are treated on a case-by-case basis , and don ’ t necessarily require , in every case , that the older partners register as sex offenders .
But the same isn ’ t true for other illegal sexual acts between adults and minors , including sexual relations between homosexuals and children as well as transgenders and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a person convicted of certain offenses involving minors to seek discretionary relief from the duty to register if the person is not more than 10 years older than the minor , ” SB 145 states .
So , a 20-year-old homosexual can now get away with molesting a 10-year-old boy in California because prosecuting this adult offender would constitute “ blatant discrimination against LGBT young people ?

State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Assemblywoman Susan Eggman (D-Stockton) reportedly co-introduced the legislation, dubbed Senate Bill 145, which would explicitly exempt sexual predators who are within 10 years of age of their minor victims from automatically having to register as sex offenders in the state’s official database.

naturalnews--2020-01-07--Feminist comedian Michelle Wolf: Killing my baby made me feel like God

( Natural News ) Michelle Wolf has been trying to claw her way back to notoriety since attacking former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders at the 2018 White House Correspondents ’ Dinner .
Now she ’ s got a new weapons grade joke designed to trigger conservatives , and well , we ’ ll give her credit .
Combining blasphemy and abortion , Wolf joked that her own procedure made her feel so “ powerful ” that she felt like “ God.
” Filled with the spirit of the new brand of abortion-worshipping feminism , Wolf used her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ essentially shout her abortion and explain how empowering it really is .
Even in a stand up setting , it ’ s quite vile .
Wolf segued into her abortion riff after talking about period equality , or how funny it would be if men felt the period pain of women .
Yeah , funny joke , too bad there are some “ men ” who believe that ’ s possible , but we digress .
Wolf started from a place of pure apathy and ramped up from there .
She mentioned how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as hearing “ about your gluten allergy.
” “ Anytime I ’ m at dinner with someone when they ’ re like , ‘ I can ’ t have the rolls ’ cause of the gluten , ’ I ’ m like , ‘ So I walked into the office… ' ” Oh , this was going to be hilarious .
Wolf then started the real commentary : “ And a lot of people think that even if you ’ re allowed to get abortions , it should only be for a very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think you should be able to get an abortion for any reason you want.
” The audience applauded , of course , and Michelle responded by rebuking those people who think having an abortion is a “ big deal , ” or people who believe one should “ take your time making the decision.
” She declared , “ It can be any deal you want it to be.
” If it ’ s a big deal , “ it ’ s a big deal .
If it ’ s not , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ applause .
Wolf further tried to destigmatize the baby-killing , saying that her own abortion wasn ’ t a big deal for her and lamenting that women “ feel like you should have this sense of shame after you get an abortion.
” To that she claimed , “ you can feel any way you want after an abortion .
Get one !
See how you feel.
” Teeing up the big line , however , Wolf asked , “ You know how my abortion made me feel ?
Very powerful.
” Still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You know how people say you can ’ t play God ?
” She followed it with a heavy cringe-inducing quip .
“ I walked out of there being like , ‘ Move over Morgan Freeman , I am God !
’ ” Wolf quipped , referencing the actor famous for playing God in Bruce Almighty .
If that ’ s not crazy , what could be ?
Rationalizing abortion has made left-wing feminists so obsessed that now they will try and convince us to “ get one ” and feel like God @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ joke , ” but man , is it an off-color one .
And , let ’ s be real , Wolf is showing her audience how much she believes she has a right to baby-killing .

Yeah, funny joke, too bad there are some “men” who believe that’s possible, but we digress. Wolf started from a place of pure apathy and ramped up from there. She mentioned how talking about abortion should be as normal as hearing “about your gluten allergy.”
“Anytime I’m at dinner with someone when they’re like, ‘I can’t have the rolls ’cause of the gluten,’ I’m like, ‘So I walked into the office…'” Oh, this was going to be hilarious.
Wolf then started the real commentary: “And a lot of people think that even if you’re allowed to get abortions, it should only be for a very few specific reasons. Well, I think you should be able to get an abortion for any reason you want.”
The audience applauded, of course, and Michelle responded by rebuking those people who think having an abortion is a “big deal,” or people who believe one should “take your time making the decision.” She declared, “It can be any deal you want it to be.” If it’s a big deal, “it’s a big deal. If it’s not, it’s not.” Sadly, more applause.
Wolf further tried to destigmatize the baby-killing, saying that her own abortion wasn’t a big deal for her and lamenting that women “feel like you should have this sense of shame after you get an abortion.” To that she claimed, “you can feel any way you want after an abortion. Get one! See how you feel.”
Teeing up the big line, however, Wolf asked, “You know how my abortion made me feel? Very powerful.” Still it wasn’t over: “You know how people say you can’t play God?” She followed it with a heavy cringe-inducing quip.
“I walked out of there being like, ‘Move over Morgan Freeman, I am God!’” Wolf quipped, referencing the actor famous for playing God in Bruce Almighty.
If that’s not crazy, what could be? Rationalizing abortion has made left-wing feminists so obsessed that now they will try and convince us to “get one” and feel like God. We know it’s a “joke,” but man, is it an off-color one. And, let’s be real, Wolf is showing her audience how much she believes she has a right to baby-killing.

(Natural News) When it comes to eating, it’s important to understand what goes inside your food – especially when it comes to carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, which most people refer to as “carbs,” are divided into two categories: simple and complex carbohydrates. Understanding how each interacts with the body can help a person choose which foods to eat.
A quick guide to carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are crucial biomolecules to the body since they fuel the body’s numerous functions. During digestion, carbohydrates in food are broken down into glucose. Once this enters the bloodstream, it is distributed to the numerous cells of the body for energy.
While all carbohydrates provide energy, it’s worth noting that some kinds of carbs are healthier than others. Depending on what type you eat, carbohydrates can cause your glucose levels to rise quickly (or spike). They can even affect how quickly you get hungry and how much excess carbs you store.
People who do not monitor or manage their carbohydrate intake have a higher risk of developing chronic illnesses like obesity, cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes.
To get a better understanding of how carbohydrates affect the body, it is best to know the difference between simple carbs and complex carbs.
Simple carbs
Simple carbohydrates are quick sources of energy. These are made up of shorter chains of molecules and are more easily digested compared to complex carbohydrates. Eating them results in a spike in blood sugar levels that is useful when a person needs energy immediately.

Simple carbs are commonly found in processed foods and added sugar, where they gained a notorious reputation. Studies have shown that the consumption of these foods, as well as sweetened beverages, may contribute to various health problems. Since these compounds are absorbed quickly, any excess sugar is turned into fat and stored for later use. If these stored fats aren’t used, they accumulate and contribute to weight gain. This can lead to a number of health problems, including osteoarthritis and stroke, if not managed properly. (Related: Fast-releasing carbohydrates alter brain chemistry and create addiction to junk foods.)
However, there are healthier sources of simple carbs that you can eat. These include:
Fruits (not including sweetened fruit drinks)
Some vegetables
Certain grains
Simple carbs naturally occur in these foods, making them ideal for a sweet snack. Moreover, these foods contain other beneficial compounds like fiber, vitamins, and minerals that boost their nutritional content. These compounds help slow down digestion so that blood sugar levels don’t rise too quickly.
Complex carbs
Compared to simple carbs, complex carbohydrates have longer chains of molecules. This means that they take longer to digest and help a person feel full longer. For this reason, they make ideal foods for weight-watchers trying to cut back on carbohydrates.
Like simple carbs, there are also healthy and unhealthy sources of complex carbs. When choosing which ones to eat, stick to foods that have not been refined, including:
Whole grains (e.g., brown rice, oats, wild rice)
Starchy vegetables (e.g., potatoes, corn)
Beans and legumes (e.g., lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans)
Grain-like foods (e.g., quinoa and buckwheat)
Non-starchy vegetables (e.g., asparagus, zucchini)
These foods are packed with nutrients, including fiber, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. All these slow down the digestion process and prevent spikes in blood sugar levels.
On the other hand, refined grains also contain complex carbohydrates. However, their nutritional values are lower compared to fresh and whole foods. Manufacturers remove parts of the food – like the bran and germ in grains – that cuts their nutritional content. Some of these foods are white flour, white bread, and white rice.
Generally, it is better to consume meals that contain complex rather than simple carbs. However, this depends on what you need. If you only need a quick snack, slices of fruits may give a quick energy boost. If you prefer something more filling, eat a meal with complex carbs.

Ghee is rich in butyric acid
A key short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) butyric acid helps promote immunity within the digestive system by providing colon cells with up to 70 percent of their total energy needs. Also known as butyrate and butanoic acid, this key SCFA is also known to support healthy insulin levels and gallbladder function.
Short on ghee? This key SCFA is also found in parsnips and Parmesan cheese.
Ghee enhances T-helper cell activity
Arguably the most important cells in adaptive immunity, T-helper cells are required for almost all adaptive immune responses. According to a paper published on Molecular Biology of The Cell, these cells not only help activate the secretion of antibodies and macrophages to destroy ingested microbes, they also help in the activation of cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells.
Ghee helps manage cholesterol levels
The butyric acid in ghee assists in reducing fatty tissue by boosting thermogenesis and metabolism. This can result in the management of one’s cholesterol ratios, as well as the reduction of high blood pressure.
Ghee is rich in conjugated linoleic acid and vitamin K2
A polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid is used in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and cell membranes, while vitamin K2, an essential nutrient found in animal-based food and fermented food products, is strongly associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Together, these two promote tissue maintenance, which can then translate to reductions in inflammation and tumors.
How to make ghee
Ghee is typically easy to find in most health food stores as well as in the Asian section of your local markets. However, if ever you find yourself at a loss, you don’t need to worry – ghee is easy to make, provided, of course, that you start with good, high-quality butter derived from organic grass-fed cows. This will ensure that you are starting out with an already high-grade and clean product. (Related: Why butter is better and ways to eat more.)
Here’s a quick and easy recipe for ghee. (h/t to YogaJournal.com)
Place 1-2 pounds of butter in a saucepan on low heat. Melt the butter until the white curds separate and sink to the bottom. Skim off any impurities that may rise to the surface. To test if the ghee is done, flick a drop of water into the pan: if it boils and evaporates immediately, the ghee is ready. Strain the ghee into a clean glass jar. Discard the curds. You can store the ghee without refrigeration for up to 12 months.
