Olympian Katie Ledecky: ‘Praying Gives Me Peace Knowing I’m in Good Hands’

By: Paul Batura


Over 10,000 athletes from 206 countries will be competing for 5,000 medals in the upcoming summer Olympics, which begin this Friday in Paris.



Team USA will be composed of 600 individuals, including swimmer Katie Ledecky, a seven-time Gold Medal (plus three silver) winner from Maryland. She’ll be going up against the world’s best for the fourth time in twelve years. Her Olympic career began in London when she was just 15 years old.



Inspired by her athletic mom and brother, Michael, Katie began swimming competitively at age six, though her foray into the pool bore little resemblance to her determined and disciplined style today. As the story goes, the diminutive athlete stopped several times (even in the middle of the lane) to look around and clear her fogged up goggles.



When it was all over, David Ledecky, Katie’s father, interviewed her with the family camcorder.



“How was the race?” asked the proud dad. “Great!” the little girl replied. Was she just trying to finish? “Just trying hard,” she answered. That would become the basis for her motto for the swimming life from then until now: Great. Hard. Just trying to finish.

Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson Expose a Major Lie of Gender Ideology
By: Daily Citizen Staff


Many parents have been lied to over the last few years by medical professionals with the baseless trope of “Would you rather have a live son or a dead daughter?”



This is meant to scare parents into going along with so-called “gender-affirming care” of hormones, puberty blockers and even body-altering surgery to remove perfectly healthy body parts.



But the truth is, there is no consistent or reliable data to back this manipulative claim.



As you will see below, a new independent U.K. report confirms this. But doctors continue to push it and parents are obviously tricked by it.



In fact, one of the brightest men on the planet — Elon Musk — was duped by it when it came to one of his sons. Musk considers his son dead because he now identifies as a girl. Musk felt pressured into going along with this charade because he was told it would save his son’s life.



The founder of Telsa and SpaceX, and owner of social media giant X, recently sat down with Jordan Peterson to reveal how this tragedy happened in his own family.



Musk tells Peterson, “It happened to one of my older boys.”



The inventor and entrepreneur explains, “I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys Xavier … I was told Xavier might commit suicide if we didn’t.”

Passing the Trash: Here’s What Parents Need to Know About Educator Sexual Misconduct
By: Emily Washburn


In the first — and last — national survey of educator sexual misconduct, one in 10 students between 13 and 17 years old reported abuse by a school employee.



It’s a shockingly high number that Charol Shakeshaft, a leading researcher of employee-on-student sex abuse, called “significantly less” than the results of previous regional studies.



That was in 2000. A RealClearInvestigations (RCI) report published last week finds little has changed, calling educator sexual misconduct “the largest ongoing sexual abuse scandal in our nation’s history.” Between the warring interests of teachers’ unions, school districts and legislators lay regulatory loopholes allowing predators to keep teaching.



Here’s what you need to know — and how you can protect your kids.

The Problem

Experts identify four systemic weaknesses that allow predators to abuse multiple children, sometimes over many years.

Lack of Incentive to Report

Predators can go unnoticed for years when schools allow employees accused of sexual misconduct to teach in other schools or districts — a tactic known as “passing the trash.”



Schools allow employees accused of sexual misconduct to teach in other schools or districts because it’s cheaper, easier and less legally risky than firing or reporting them.

CPS Called on Hawaii Home-School Mom Due to Religious Beliefs and Appearance of Kids
By: Emma Schultz

The Washington Post estimates the number of home-schooled children in the United States is between 1.9 million and 2.7 million students.



The notable increase of home schooling in the past few years has led to critics against this educational approach sounding alarms against how parents are teaching their children at home.



One family recently experienced this criticism firsthand.



Joy Amini, home schooling mom of two from Hawaii, recently got questioned for the care of her children by local authorities, or lack thereof, because of her doctor’s ideological intolerance.



As she retells the story to the Daily Citizen, she took her kids in for their annual wellness checkup at a local pediatric military clinic.



The appointment for both her two-year-old son and seven-year-old daughter were scheduled at the same time, during the younger child’s nap time.



Joy recalled her son “was fussy,” so the nurse had given him chocolate candy that inevitably melted in his hands and was transferred everywhere on his body. When the doctor walked in, Amini’s two-year-old was tired, fussy and a mess from the chocolate.



“During the appointment the doctor asked me question about the kids’ schooling and I told him that we home-schooled,” Amini explained.



She added, “The doctor expressed concern about this decision and [said] kids need socialization.”

New Hampshire Enacts ‘Help Not Harm’ and ‘Save Women’s Sports’ Bills
By: Zachary Mettler


New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has signed two critically important bills into law protecting the rights of children and women.


Help Not Harm Bill


Gov. Sununu signed a “Help Not Harm” bill into law on July 19, protecting New Hampshire children from harmful and damaging transgender medical interventions.



The Prohibiting Genital Gender Reassignment Surgery on Minors bill (HB 619) prohibits “genital gender reassignment surgery” on minors to make them appear more like the opposite sex.



It was approved by the New Hampshire House of Representatives in a 199-175 vote on January 4; the state Senate approved in a 13-10 vote on May 16.



In the text of the bill, the state’s lawmakers lay out several research-based reasons for prohibiting transgender surgeries on minors.



Transgender activists often manipulatively ask parents, whose children are struggling with sexual identity confusion, “Would you rather have an alive son or a dead daughter?”



It’s an emotionally abusive question meant to force parents into letting their kids access experimental transgender medical interventions.



Otherwise, they might commit suicide, the activists claim.
