We Found No Evidence Otto Warmbier's Coma
Was Caused By Botulism As North Korea Claims

. The Medical Evolution of Gender
By Allyne Caan: Well-known blogger Matt Walsh recently recounted a difficult conversation with his son after he caught the lad attempting to climb over the second-floor balcony railing. It seems little Walsh Jr. thought he could be Spider-Man. Walsh writes, "I knew it was time to explain that he doesn't really have super powers. He seemed pretty devastated by the news, but for his own health it was necessary to put an end to this particular fantasy. 'But I want to be Spider-Man,' he protested. 'I know, buddy,' I said. 'I wish I could be Spider-Man, too, but Spider-Man is just pretend. If you try to jump over the railing like Spider-Man, you'll get very hurt.'"
This seems a logical parenting approach: Stop the kid from jumping off a balcony and address the incorrect belief that made him think a leap was a good idea in the first place. Hardly revolutionary. But apparently, it's radical when kids imagine themselves not a super-hero but a gender not their own.
The American Medical Association (AMA) has this week adopted policies endorsing transgenderism — despite enormous evidence of the physical, emotional and psychological harm experienced by those who fantasize themselves the opposite sex.
The Washington Free Beacon reports the AMA's policymaking group has embraced the belief that gender is "incompletely understood as a binary selection."
According to the official AMA statement, "Acknowledging that individuals' gender and sexual identities do not always fit neatly into binary paradigms, delegates to the 2017 AMA Annual Meeting in Chicago took several actions that support broadening how gender identity is defined within medicine and how transgender patients are treated by society." The group went on to state that "gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and genotypic and phenotypic sex are not always aligned."
As Walsh pointed out, saving someone from harm often means telling them when their beliefs and feelings don't align with truth. But the AMA would rather gain political points than save lives.
Indeed, the group also came out against so-called bathroom bills, claiming, "Laws and policies that restrict the use of public facilities based on biological gender can have immediate and lingering physical consequences, as well as severe mental health repercussions." Of course, they conveniently ignore the mental health repercussions of transgenderism. Transgender and gender non-conforming adults have a suicide attempt rate of more than 40%, compared with 4.6% for the overall U.S. population.
But please, let's talk instead about how transgender individuals can now battle suicidal thoughts in any bathroom they choose.
Sadly, this latest descent into madness shouldn't be too surprising. As Mark Alexander has recounted in detail, the spiral from recognition to acceptance and now endorsement of self-destructive sexually deviant behaviors by the medical community has been at play for decades.
In the 1950s, the first edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) recognized homosexuality as a sociopath personality disturbance. And the 1968 DSM II was updated to classify homosexuality as a sexual deviancy.
This is significant because only by acknowledging that homosexuality and gender dysphoria are concerning and have negative consequences can people in the throes of sexual addictions and confusions be best helped. When we validate harmful behaviors, we close the door on help and hope and instead confine individuals to the statistics of higher suicide attempt rates as well as higher instances of sexually transmitted diseases, not to mention the psychological trauma of those who pursue sex changes and live to regret it.
And that's to say nothing on the trauma suffered by family and friends of transgendered people.
Yet, amid the sexual revolution, the AMA abandoned any pretense of caring for people and instead caved to political pressure and removed homosexuality as a mental disorder in DSM III in 1973. Now, they've gone a step further and rejected the reality of gender entirely by basically saying it's whatever someone fantasizes it to be.
A doctor who incorrectly diagnoses patients just to keep them happy deserves not praise but rebuke. The AMA may be congratulating itself on its progressivist acceptance of transgenderism. But the result will be thousands of people who desperately need help and instead are prodded to jump off the second-story balcony, where the fantasies they embrace will not save them. ~The Patriot Post

Rosenstein Should Fire Mueller,
Then Resign As Deputy AG, Immediately
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs has a few thoughts on “the swamp creatures working against the Trump administration. President Trump, today, took a swipe at the whole special counsel mess.”... Dobbs reads the President’s tweet in he points out the absurdity, saying ‘I’m being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt.'” Dobbs points out that “The President is of course exactly right in his characterization of the man who told him to fire Director Comey. That man is Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Rosenstein wrote a May 8th memo that enumerated the reasons cited for the Comey firing.” Dobbs quotes Rosenstein that memo as stating, “The way the Director handled the conclusion of the liar-Clinton email investigation was wrong. As a result the FBI is unlikely to regain public and congressional trust until it has a Director who understands the gravity of the mistakes and pledges never to repeat them. Having refused to admit his errors, the Director cannot be expected to implement the necessary corrective actions.”... http://rickwells.us/dobbs-rosenstein-fire-mueller-resign-deputy-ag-immediately/
STOP Foolish And Partisan
“Investigations” Into Trump Admin. NOW!
by Onan Coca
{lidblog.com} ~ Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is done with the foolish and partisan “investigations” into the Trump administration’s activities... In a recent appearance on Fox News the rambunctious Texas Congressman spent five minutes tearing apart the arguments for the investigations, and explaining why it’s James Comey who should be under investigation, not President Trump. Gohmert further argued that Robert Mueller was a terrible candidate to handle any investigation into this matter because he has multiple conflicts of interest with this case. However, Gohmert’s strongest arguments came when he outlined the truth that the real collusion happening in our government is actually being undertaken by Justice Department officials still loyal to the liar-nObama administration. He also reminded America that if President Trump is “guilty of obstruction” then President liar-nObama must also be guilty of “obstruction” because he partook in the same practice on many occasions...http://lidblog.com/gohmert-enough/.
ICE Director Thomas Homan
Brings Atomic Sledgehammer of Truth
{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Thomas Homan said in an interview today that he has “zero regrets” about his remarks before Congress this week, expanding on them... “It needed to be said,” Homan told CNN on the sidelines of a Central American prosperity and security conference. “And by me saying you should be worried, you should be afraid — if you lie on your taxes, you’ve got to be worried, ‘Is the IRS going to audit me?’ … When you speed down the highway, you’ve got to worry, ‘Am I going to get a speeding ticket?’ You worry. It’s natural human behavior.” Ice Director Thomas Homan defended the arrest of student on the day of his prom. Director Homan told Congresswoman Nita Lowey that “if you’re violating the law, you should be uncomfortable... https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/06/16/ice-director-thomas-homan-brings-atomic-sledgehammer-of-truth/

Mueller, FBI Are The Obstructionists – Hiding
Comey Memos Behind “Ongoing Investigation”
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Apparently those of us who thought that the President of the United States was the chief executive of the nation and that the Justice Department and under it the FBI reported to him were mistaken... The FBI and some individuals within the DOJ are, it is now being demonstrated, autonomous powers unto themselves and in some instances, where they still report to the White House, it’s effectively the liar-nObama White House. Those of us, including those in Congress who want to find out what kind of monkey business James Comey and by extension, Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein, Loretta Lynch and others are up to are out of luck. Whatever kind of subversion against the United States, President Trump and his administration, hostile actions taken in the pursuit of the administration’s demise, is being assisted by the deep state in the form of the FBI and elsewhere. James Comey’s memos, to the extent that they exist, aren’t going to be revealed, at least not without a fight. Comey’s best friend, the supposedly independent special counsel, Robert Mueller, is colluding with leftist Andrew McCabe, the acting FBI Director, to keep them hidden... http://rickwells.us/mueller-fbi-obstructionists-hiding-comey-memos-behind-ongoing-investigation/.

{townhall.com} ~ Speaking from Cincinnati Medical Center Thursday afternoon doctors treating Otto Warmbier gave an update on his medical condition. Warmbier is the 22-year-old American who was held hostage in North Korea for more than a year before returning home to Ohio this week in a coma.
The North Korean government claims Warmbier slipped into a coma after taking a sleeping pill and suffering from botulism. Doctors said their tests do not reveal any evidence botulism was a factor.
"No evidence of botulism," Dr. Brandon Foreman said.
Doctors said they have very limited information about Warmbier's condition before his arrival in the United States and have not had any contact with North Korean medical officials. It is estimated he has been in a coma since April of 2016. They said there is evidence Warmbier suffered a respiratory arrest, which led to a lack of oxygen to the brain. This could have been caused by a traumatic injury or an overdose in medication.
"There is severe injury to all areas of the brain," Dr. Daniel Kanter said, adding Warmbier has lost a significant amount of brain tissue.
There were no broken bones or fractures found during scans and neither. Scarring of the skin due to physical injuries was also absent.
"We examined all the long bones of the body, the ribs, pelvis and the skull," Dr. Kanter said. "In those scans we see no evidence of an acute, or healing fracture of the skull."
Earlier today, Warmbier's father Fred said the North Koreans brutalized his son and implied the regime is lying about the cause of his son's coma.
"He fought to stay alive through the worst the North Koreans put him through,” Warmbier said.
"Throughout this ordeal the Warmbier family has shown remarkable strength and compassion," Dr. Kanter said. "It is our privilege to care for their son and brother."
