For a time there, U.S. Senate candidate James “Neighbors-with-a-Uterus” Talarico (D-TX) forgot that black people live in Texas. At least that’s what black voters and activists are saying. To make up for that, Talarico has launched one of the phoniest and most embarrassing pandering campaigns since Hillary Clinton declared she “ain’t no ways tired.”

President Trump nominated acting Attorney General Todd Blanche last month to lead the Justice Department permanently. After more than a year as deputy attorney general, Blanche has shown that he is not merely capable of doing the job. He is the man the department needs now.
I had the privilege of serving alongside Blanche. He is smart, principled, and fearless. His record proves it.
Blanche left a lucrative private practice to serve the country. He does not need this job. The country needs him in it.
The Trump administration’s approach to law enforcement and immigration has already delivered historic results. Violent crime has reached record lows, cartel activity has declined, and property crime has fallen dramatically.
Blanche has also led the effort to reverse the Justice Department’s politicization under President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland. Their tenure included imprisoning grandmothers who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, arresting pro-life protesters, spying on eight Republican senators, surveilling Catholics who attended the traditional Latin Mass, and deploying the National Security Division against concerned parents at school board meetings.
That two-tiered justice system helped drive Americans to the polls for Trump. Ending the abuses is not enough. The department must also repair the damage by dismissing corrupt prosecutors, enforcing the law equally against powerful left-wing actors, and restoring people wronged by the government. Blanche has shown the courage to do exactly that.
Some Senate Republicans objected to the Justice Department’s now-abandoned plan to compensate victims of Biden-era abuses. Yet as the late Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) noted, the United States has a long tradition of compensating victims of government injustice.
Justice requires more than ending misconduct. Government must also make victims whole when it can. That is what giving them their due means.
National Review summarized its objection this way: “No matter whose name is on the DOJ letterhead, the president is running the Justice Department.”
That criticism ignores Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent in Morrison v. Olson, which he described as one of his favorites. Scalia argued that the Constitution vests all executive power in the president — “this does not mean some of the executive power, but all of the executive power” — and trusts voters to choose a president who will exercise it for the common good. A Justice Department fully independent of the president would answer neither to the nation’s elected chief executive nor to the voters who chose him.

National Review also argues that Blanche cannot stand up to Trump because he once served as Trump’s personal lawyer. The opposite is more plausible. Who is better positioned to deliver hard news: someone who put his career on the line to defend the president, or someone the president barely knows?
Presidents have often chosen attorneys general with whom they shared close professional ties. Ronald Reagan selected his personal attorney, William French Smith, and later Ed Meese, his former California chief of staff and legal affairs secretary. George W. Bush chose Alberto Gonzales, who had served as his general counsel in Texas.
National Review’s deeper objection seems to have less to do with Blanche and everything to do with Trump. But refusing to confront weaponized government allows wrongdoers to escape accountability and invites the next administration to repeat the abuse.
The left has no hesitation about using power to advance its goals. Some conservatives still treat passivity as principle even after voters put them in office to govern. Trump’s rise was a rejection of that bloodless approach to politics.
Blanche built an impressive prosecutorial record in one of the nation’s most prestigious U.S. attorney’s offices. He left a lucrative private practice to serve the country. He does not need this job. The country needs him in it.
Todd Blanche has met the moment and exceeded conservative expectations. The case against him reflects the old conservative preference for “yelling stop” rather than exercising legitimate power. Senate Republicans should reject that reflex and confirm him as attorney general.
For the better part of two decades, confused children across the Anglosphere deceived into believing that they might be in the wrong bodies have been widely subjected to medications that adversely affect bone density, cognitive performance, emotional stability, and/or future fertility. This horrific experiment, briefly provided a patina of legitimacy by so-called experts and politicians, has not only been ruinous but is based on junk science.
To the chagrin of the profitable and predatory child sex-rejection industry, the Trump administration, like the British government, has taken action nationwide against the "chemical and surgical mutilation of children." However, some blue states appear keen to continue waging war on America's youth.
'1 in every 630 boys in Oregon received cross-sex hormones.'
A new study in the Oxford University Press journal Research Connections provides some idea of the scale of this campaign and just how many victims it has already created in Oregon — a state whose health plan will cover virtually any sex-rejection drug or procedure, no matter how cosmetic, if deemed "medically necessary" by a doctor.
Researchers from Comagine Health, a nonprofit health care consulting firm, used the multi-payer claims database operated by their organization to identify so-called "transgender and gender-diverse" adolescents in the Beaver State, ages 8-17. The data researchers relied on was from 2016 to 2023.
After identifying 8,480 gender-confused adolescents among the 868,740 insured adolescents in the system, the researchers "assessed receipt of puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormone therapies using procedural codes."

They found in Oregon that:
The researchers claimed that "despite growing attention, medical [gender-affirming care] is accessed by only a small proportion of adolescents in the United States."
Leor Sapir, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, noted in a recent article for the Wall Street Journal that this supposedly "small proportion" is actually tragically high.
Citing the study, Sapir highlighted that "at age 17, roughly 1 in every 240 girls and 1 in every 630 boys in Oregon received cross-sex hormones for 'gender dysphoria' between 2016 and 2023. These figures are triple and double the national average for girls and boys, respectively."
Sapir noted further that cross-sex hormone use among 14- and 15-year-olds in Oregon — the only American state to formally adopt the so-called standards of care issued by the scandal-plagued World Professional Association for Transgender Health — was four to five times the national rate.
In November, the Department of Health and Human Services published an exhaustive peer-reviewed report that stressed that "the harms from sex-rejecting procedures — including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical operations — are significant, long term, and too often ignored or inadequately tracked."
The previous year, just months prior to National Health Service England banning puberty blockers at so-called gender-identity clinics, the United Kingdom's landmark Cass Review revealed that:
Despite the mountain of evidence showing that so-called "gender-affirming care" is not only destructive but ineffective in terms of achieving the promoters' own aims, the Democrats running Oregon show no signs of abandoning their war on young bodies.
For instance, Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek, a self-identified lesbian, ratified new legislation in May aimed at shielding providers of sex-rejection drugs and mutilations from civil lawsuits, professional discipline, and loss of malpractice insurance, as well as at ensuring uninterrupted coverage for Oregon Health Plan patients utilizing Planned Parenthood for "essential health services."
Kotek did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
