Maybe to some people, Joe Biden's fixation with gender identity feels out of character. But to others, who've watched the president undergo his own radical transformation in recent years, it makes more sense. The man who stood in front of America and defended the rights of little children to change their identities has, in many ways, done the same thing himself -- splitting from decades-old policy positions to assume a completely different political persona. When a reporter asked about Biden's transition -- was he officially identifying as a progressive? -- White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki replied that the president "is not eager to be labeled." Well, Joe Biden may not know what he is, but at least we know what he's not: a moderate.

After spending four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars, a publicly funded university in Ohio has finally agreed to do what they should have done in the first place -- respect a professor's First Amendment right to free speech. As part of the settlement, Shawnee State University agreed to pay $400,000 in damages and attorney's fees, rescind a written warning issued against him in June 2018, and lift all requirements for the professor to use false pronouns to identify a student.

The Fantastic Four: Several States Push Life across the Finish Line
|
|

In the lead-up to the biggest Supreme Court ruling on abortion in 50 years, local leaders certainly aren't sitting around waiting on the justices. Four states inked brand new pro-life protections into law this last week: Kentucky (thanks to a legislative override), Arizona, Oklahoma, and Florida--all significantly limiting the window when it's legal to have an abortion. Governor Kevin Stitt (R-Okla.), who was the latest target of the White House's ire, joked, "I know I'm doing something right when this administration criticizes the laws that we're passing." For a behind-the-scenes look at what put his state's bill over the finish line, don't miss Stitt's conversation with Tony Perkins on this week's "Washington Watch."
