Will any reporter ask the President of the United States to name the five specific states where he alleges that public school teachers are deciding -- all on their own initiative, over the objections of the parents -- to force their children into gender-affirming surgeries? Seems like a big story?

I’ve noticed MAGA overwhelmingly support the Cornell 7. I’ve also noticed them overwhelming assume that the accused rapists are MAGA. The fact that you hear about rape and automatically assume it’s one of your own speaks volumes.

Michael Tracey published what he said was the ID of the "Jane Doe" in the Cornell case. Then he took it down, claiming he just wanted to make a point and didn't want to see harm to the person he named. What he hasn't admitted is that he mistook info on a sketchy site for official NY court records.
An archived copy of Michael Tracey's original Substack post includes a screenshot from "eCourt Records" and the commentary: "It's [name redacted]. Don't blame me -- the New York Court System just posted it. Seemingly inadvertently. Oh well."Screenshot of Michael Tracey's post on Substack titled "Note on Jane Doe." It reads: "After identifying Jane Doe earlier tonight, I have now removed the information I published. Why? Because the principle has been served: to underscore that permanently anonymizing litigants who make sensational, spectacular, reputation-destroying claims about others — so long as they can self-declare some form of victimization — cannot be countenanced.

It’s destructive, and an egregious abuse of the legal system by huckster plaintiff’s lawyers. This practice has to end. Lawyers who seek to monetize this sleazy tactic should have to think A LOT HARDER about the claims they’re willing to throw out into the public domain, using impressionable clients who may not even know what they’re getting themselves into.

So why have I now removed her information?

Because I don’t believe she’s the main “villain” here. I primarily blame the bottom-feeding, media-manipulating, sleazebag lawyers who’ve made a whole cash-grab industry out of this racket.

Thomas Giuffra in particular has a lot to answer for. He’s the central reason for the current debacle.

Given the intense nationwide and global interest in this case, I don’t want to bring any further negative attention to this woman. I don’t believe she ought to be punished or subjected to any retribution or humiliation. I believe a RATIONAL solution is necessary here. Not more character assassination — of her, the seven young men, or anyone else. Truly, that is my genuine view."

Now I’m no statistician: but is a 10 for 300,000 a good conviction rate or even evidence of a trend for that matter? Would batting a 0.00003 be considered a good average?

The Pentagon never disclosed that eight US Marines were injured when an Iranian cruise missile hit their vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on September 14, NBC reports. Injuries were eventually added to the casualty record with no announcement ten days later.

Xi Jinping invoked the “Thucydides Trap” right to Trump’s face, a reference to the clash between a rising power and a declining one. The message Xi was sending was unmistakable: China is the ascending power. America is declining. This is at least the second time Xi has raised this in front of Trump.
