Minnesota therapist uses ‘MyGender Dolls’ to indoctrinate kids…

Dianne Berg, a therapist at the university, developed the dolls explicitly for kids between the ages of 5 and 11 to assist in “gender-affirming” therapy.
Imagine you wanted to confuse kids about their sex at a young age, and introduce the destructive idea that a boy can become a girl and vice versa.

James Comey Asks Charges Be Dropped, Says ’86 47′ Not a Threat…

Former FBI Director James Comey asked a judge to drop the charges against him, arguing that his “86 47” post was political speech, not a threat against President Donald Trump.
On Monday, Comey’s lawyers argued that the government cannot prove that the seashell arrangement constituted a threat, adding that the phrase generally means “get rid of” or “eject” while noting it has appeared on signs at protests.

Mamdani’s NYC-Owned Grocery Stores to Offer Government Store-Brand Products

New York City’s government-owned grocery stores won’t just sell name products at 30% below their market value – they’ll also have their own store-brand products to compete with private free market businesses.Buried in the details of Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s scheme to open city-owned grocery stores selling products below market value is a plan to launch New York City private labels, branding them as government products competing with private enterprise, free market products.“Private label” products, commonly known as store brands, are sold to stores by (often well-known) third-party manufacturers, with the retailers’ name on the labels. Labeled as the retailer’s unique brand, these products are then sold at prices below those carrying the actual manufacturer’s name-brand label.Mayor Mamdani’s official website notes that the project’s Request for Proposals (RFP) “seeks operator(s) to accomplish the following goals,” among them:“Private label: Operator(s), in collaboration with NYCEDC, will identify and pursue opportunities to launch an N.Y.C. Groceries private label across a variety of product categories.”The Democratic Socialist mayor’s plan for city-owned grocery stores selling items at a 30% discount from that charged by grocers, including small bodegas, has been widely criticized because it will bankrupt private businesses by forcing taxpayers to subsidize the government stores.The result will be Soviet-style bread lines, scarcity, government allocation of food and, ultimately, higher prices, economists and historians warn.Products carrying government labels, such as “N.Y.C. Groceries,” fit neatly into the Socialist paradigm of replacing private enterprise with government control of resources."If he goes forward with his agenda, within about 12 months, those (privately-owned) grocery stores will all be bankrupt,” Economist Stephen Moore Economist explained in an interview with Newsmax:“And then subsidies from city government. And then they’re going to go bankrupt. They’re going to come to Washington and say, ‘Give us a bailout.’” Economist Stephen Moore on Zohran Mamdani: "If he goes forward with his agenda within about 12 months, those grocery stores will all be bankrupt." pic.twitter.com/wNF80E9Ae8— NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) July 27, 2026 What’s more, the taxpayer subsidies will never end, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler noted in a social media post: “So not only will New York taxpayers pay $70 million to build government-run grocery stores – they will also pay subsidies in perpetuity to keep them afloat while funding unfair competition against legitimate small businesses.”“One more problem with socialism: you eventually run out of other people’s money,” Administrator Loeffler added.“Hi @ZohranKMamdani, I did some math for you,” New York State Comptroller Candidate Joseph Hernandez writes in a post:“Grocery runs on 1-3% margins. You’re promising 30% off. That gap doesn’t vanish, taxpayers cover it.”….“Subsidized city stores selling 30% below market could push 10-20 bodegas citywide toward closing. “This isn’t affordability. It’s a tax hike disguised as a discount and a private business killer affecting mostly hard working Hispanic immigrants just trying to do the right thing and make a living.”Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) summarized the history of similar efforts in the past to issue a dire warning about Mayor Mamdani’s plan:“This is COMMUNISM. We have history to show exactly what will happen: 1) Gov opens subsidized grocery stores at 30% below cost. 2) Local stores can’t compete and go under. The city store becomes the only option. 3) Shelves go empty. Rationing starts (“2 per customer”). There will be daily rushes, hoarding, and lines around the block. 4) Quality quietly tanks. Wilted produce, thinner cuts, fewer choices. 5) The subsidy bill balloons forever. You didn’t solve hunger. You just built another Soviet bread line.” Hi @ZohranKMamdani, I did some math for you.Grocery runs on 1-3% margins. You’re promising 30% off. That gap doesn’t vanish, taxpayers cover it.Per store: $5.4M/year in sales, but a 30% discount means giving up $1.6M in revenue, a $1.5M annual loss, per store.Across 5… https://t.co/R1JSPD92Sb— Joseph Hernandez (@hernandezforny) July 27, 2026 

Tennessee State Rep. Jason Zachary Says Flock Camera Legislation Coming in January After Knox County Mayor Calls for Temporary Ban

State Representative Jason Zachary (R-Knoxville) on Monday said the Tennessee General Assembly will consider legislation to regulate license plate reader (LPR) cameras, including those produced by Flock Safety, after Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs urged county commissioners to temporarily ban the devices, citing the lack of state or federal regulations and guidelines.
Jacobs expressed his concerns about the Flock cameras, which critics say could allow mass surveillance assisted by artificial intelligence (AI), despite the Knox County Commission previously approving an agreement to add the company’s product to the LPR technologies already deployed in the county.

Transgender Dolls with Interchangeable Genitalia Peddled to Preschool Teachers

These dolls are “just a grooming tool” and “have no place in an ethical medical care world,” American College of Pediatricians’ immediate past President Dr. Quentin Van Meter warns regarding a new product being peddled to preschool teachers: transgender dolls with removable genitalia.“MyGender Dolls are a first-of-their-kind therapeutic play approach designed for gender diverse children” as young as four years old, the company’s website says.Developed by the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, and now a commercial product branded as MyGender Dolls, the dolls – which come with removable internal and external genitals – target children as young as four years old and offer a vast array of transgender offerings, The New York Post explains:“The paper dolls, with gender-neutral names like ‘Sam,’ ‘Rory,’ ‘Avery’ and ‘Parker,’ have removable internal and external genitals, along with more than 100 interchangeable pieces of clothing, accessories and hairstyles — like a trans Mr./Mrs. Potato Head.”But, it doesn’t stop there – the MyGender Dolls website even advertises “expansion packs.”No details about the advertised “Expansion Packs,” “Training Materials” and “Doll Bases” are available and links to “Our Products,” “Learn,” “Our Story,” “For Caregivers” and “For Clinicians” at the top of the homepage are all nonfunctional. Hovering over them prompts the message “Coming Soon.”“Previously, the university had a webpage dedicated to the project, but it was removed at some point after The College Fix first reported on it in December 2024,” The College Fix noted in a July 10, 2026 article.What’s more, details about the intent and development of the transgender doll products have been deleted from at least two University of Minnesota publications, Fox News reports:“‘The concept is similar to classic paper dolls; kids can select bodies, genitals, clothes, and other accessories as a way to visualize their anatomy and genders,’ a now deleted 2024 summary of the project from the University of Minnesota’s Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health (ISGH) read.”….“They come with interchangeable accessories and removable and swappable genitalia to help children ‘realize all the different options that exist for who they can be — regardless of their body parts,’ University of Minnesota postdoctoral fellow Ben Parchem said in a now-deleted article in the University of Minnesota Foundation’s magazine.”“The TRANS lobby has come for the children,” Concerned Women for America (CWA) President and CEO Penny Nance told CNSNews in a statement, calling for pediatricians and teachers who subject children to these dolls to be held accountable for committing “child abuse”:“It is reckless and evil for professionals in trusted positions to teach children their gender can change. Plain and simple, this is child abuse. If pediatricians and teachers use this MyGender doll with children, they should lose their licenses.”New poll data commissioned by CWA found that 63.9% of Americans either somewhat or strongly oppose allowing gender transition services, including puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, to be dispensed to minors under 18 years of age.In a X.com post, Moms for Liberty refuted the MyGender Dolls website’s claims that its child-grooming doll products are “developmentally appropriate” and “evidence-informed”:“Here’s the problem: there’s no published outcome data showing these ‘tools’ work for anything other than propaganda and brainwashing vulnerable kids. “The university itself calls it early-stage research ‘not currently available for use.”“MyGender Dolls” was founded by two licensed psychologists who are professors at the University of Minnesota Medical School, which receives $15 million of federal taxpayer funds annually to “increase the medical school’s research capacity” and “ensure its national prominence.” It is unknown how much of that money goes to the university’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health. According to the university’s 2025 annual report, the Institute has a yearly budget of $1.4 million.The MyGender Dolls website says the transgender dolls are “built for the professionals who support trans and gender diverse children in clinical and educational settings,” including:Mental Health Providers School Counselors & Educators Pediatricians and Allied Health Professionals
