| 'Stand Up Against Child Abuse': GOP Candidates Clash Over Trans Surgeries for Minors at Fourth Debate |
| by Ben Johnson |
| While previous debates discussed everything from UFOs to the price of Nikki Haley's curtains, Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate focused heavily on "gender mutilation" and extreme transgender ideology's impact on children. Young women victimized by transgender surgeries called on candidates to enact stronger protections for minors, while one candidate called any failure to curtail underage transgender procedures "disqualifying." Candidates also clashed harshly over the U.S.-backed war in Ukraine and their personal integrity. |

| Riley Gaines Torches the Dems' Gender Deniers in House Fight for Girls' Sports |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| If Riley Gaines had it to do over again, the All-American swimmer says she'd have never raced against Lia Thomas. It would've meant giving up everything she'd trained for - but some things, she's decided, are more important than titles. "I believe everything happened for a reason, but I wish I realized what a slippery slope this was when we were told to smile and step aside so a man could have our place at the podium," Riley insisted. "My actions would be different now, and I wouldn't compete. I know it's easier said than done, but sacrifices are necessary for the greater good." |

The director was not disclosing a vision disability but responding to a question about the elevated threat of terrorism following Hamas's October 7 terror attack on Israel.

| by S.A. McCarthy |
| A pair of arsonists who burned down a fast-food restaurant during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots are only being given a $500 fine and no jail time. Chisom Kingston and Natalie Hanna White pleaded guilty last week to two counts of first-degree arson and one count of conspiracy to commit arson related to an Atlanta-area Wendy's they torched in June of 2020. The pair were sentenced to five years on probation, 150 hours of community service, and a $500 fine. |

| As Election Looms, Taiwan Must Not Abandon Its Independence Clause |
| by Bob Fu and Dr. Sen-Hong Yang |
| The American magazine Foreign Affairs published an article on November 30 jointly authored by Bonnie Glaser, Jessica Weiss, and Thomas Christensen. The piece called for the U.S. to "make clear that it opposes any unilateral change to the status quo" and to oppose any attempt by the Chinese Communist Party to take over Taiwan or any attempt from Taiwan to pursue independence. This is terrible advice. |

| Poll: Americans Strongly Identify as Parents Despite Marriage Decline |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| "Almost 90% of the world's population now live in countries with falling marriage rates," CNBC declared recently. In the U.S. alone, marriage rates have decreased "by 60% since the 1970s." In July, when that article was published, the primary factor in these declining rates centered around a declining economy. However, recent research shows there may be factors outside of valid economic concerns to why less people are getting married. |
