New York’s Mayor Mamdani touts a massive taxpayer-funded investment for Transgender healthcare:
The New Yorkers voted for the imbecile now they can suffer for it
The mayor's campaign website had promised $65M for gender-affirming care across public hospitals and clinics
In particular, Mamdani doubled down on promises of $15 million in funding for trans communities.
As part of the Pride Month celebration on Tuesday evening, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani touted the work his administration has done to expand services for LGBTQ+ communities, calling New York City a "haven" for people with alternative gender identities.
Well done New Yorkers. You Voted For It, Now you will pay for the ‘Sanctuary Freak Show” that’s enabling “people with alternative gender identities.
Put simply, he will let New Yorkers ROT while he dumps 65 million they don't have to spend in treatments for “mentally ill” people to legitimize their illness not as illness, but as a choice. Then half those people will Murder and Other Crimes or Suicide Themselves later in life, while the other half makes sure to spend yet more on Trannies so half the city ends up like that.
How Can Anyone Defend Transgender Sports After This?
A Transgendered male sexually assaults a female during a wrestling match
This MALE, identifying as a Female, was allowed to compete on the girls’ wrestling team, and so what does he do? He sexually assaults his female opponent, causing her great pain and causing her to scream out to her mother during the assault.
Hes lucky that it want my daughter because I woulld have been in his face in seconds.
He should be charged with Sexual Assault and put in prison for at least 3 Years.
They need to Press Charges then Sue the Fake Woman Pervert
The Iranian Regime will never tell the truth, they never did, and never will. They are only looking for more time to complete their Dirty Work. It’s Time to destroy the Iranian Regime, the Mullah's, and the entire Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
It was truly is a sickening freak show when Jo Biden was the President but D.C. is usually nothing more than a circus anyway . So I guess that's just the way it was with Joey and especially with the rest of his Family.
Radical Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett has officially launched an unhinged, deeply offensive assault on a grieving Texas family, using her digital platform to inject identity politics venom into a tragic high school murder case. Speaking on her podcast Clock It with Crockett, the polarizing Dallas area Congresswoman went entirely off the rails while attempting to run public relations for 19 year old convicted killer Karmelo Anthony, who was just sentenced to 35 years in prison for the brutal stabbing of 17 year old student athlete Austin Metcalf. In a jaw-dropping display of absolute cruelty, Crockett attempted to minimize the total devastation of the Metcalf family by declaring: "Black women live in fear and agony every single day. I promise you the Metcalfs have never spent a day living that way." The grotesque statement has triggered immediate, widespread condemnation from everyday patriots, who are appalled to see a sitting federal lawmaker claim a family that literally just lost their teenage son to a lethal knife attack doesn't understand the words “Very agony."
Les Carpenter has said
“Nothing, absolutely nothing surprises me anymore. What would suprize me is the Malignant Narcissist Moron in Cheif actually doing something ethical that actually benefitted the American people.”
