Why the ‘New Yorker’ Got Fooled by Taxpayer-Funded Sex Changes for Prisoners
Jon Miltimore
– September 30, 2024

In this still from ABC’s Presidential Debate, Pr. Trump makes the statement about VP Harris’s record, which the New Yorker claimed to refute. Sept 10, 2024.

Aday prior to the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, CNN reported a scoop: in 2019, presidential candidate Kamala Harris told the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that she supported “taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained immigrants and federal prisoners.”

The story gained traction on X prior to the debate, and it’s not difficult to see why. Compelling Americans to pay for the sex changes of federal inmates and jailed immigrants is not a policy supported by a majority of Americans, which is probably why then-candidate Joe Biden declined to answer the question, as did other candidates.

The unpopularity of Harris’s stance is also likely why her political opponent brought it up during the debate. What’s notable is that the policy, which sounds like a Babylon Bee headline, was strange enough to fool members of the media who couldn’t fathom that Harris would support it. Susan Glasser of The New Yorker accused Trump of lying and creating the story out of thin air.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Don't you just love the way the MSM stick up for each other when they're wrong?!  If Trump had been wrong, someone would probably sue him for spreading false information. :yowsa:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
If what the Left proposes or does sounds so outrageous that even the press think it is some sort of "conspiracy theory", then it is working swimmingly. Since Obama, and perhaps even the Clintons, it has been a standard gambit of the Left to engage in acts and programs that sound like a cross between science fiction and an over-the-top spy novel--and they do. Operation Fast and Furious (named after a movie franchise) is a fine example, with guns being sold by FFL dealers in bulk to sketchy characters at the behest of the BATF/DOJ so those guns can be recovered later from crime scenes in Mexico and just across our border to support the lie that American guns were being purchased by the Cartels and used in drug violence, in order to push for banning those guns in the US. Sound outrageous?It was, but it also happened, and had not an intrepid FFL had a secret second security system recording the whole exchange between them and the BATF (and a whistleblower blown the lid off the operation),it might have succeeded. Another operation, getting military hardware across the border (machine guns and grenades) was hushed up almost as soon as the story broke, lost down the memory hole of CYA for the administration. It was rumored that Hillary was involved in that one as SOS. Private servers for State business (in the bathroom closet), collections of classified documents in hard cope (Biden) and electronic form, including code name files (Hillary's server) were all whitewashed and glossed over without so much as a second glance by the popular (leftist) Press, and mentions of Agenda 21 and other Globalist Plans for our future get similar coverage,even as our roads are eurotrashed with roundabouts and 'Michigan lefts' to replace standard intersections that, frankly, worked just fine--especially where roads tend to ice over or drift with snow.

Is it any wonder that these reporters will scoff at the truth?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
