Popular Democrat governor breaks with party, speaks out against sex change surgeries for minors

Gov. Andy Beshear says he's 'never' supported child sex change surgery, but has maintained support for 'gender-affirming care'

Brandon Gillespie | Fox News 

Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has broken with his party when it comes to just how far he's willing to support medical treatments for children identifying as transgender.

Beshear, who polls show maintains one of the nation's highest approval ratings for a sitting governor despite leading a deep-red state, pushed back on Republican criticism last week that he supports sex change surgeries for children.

In a new ad titled, "Parents," Beshear says the attacks from Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, his Republican opponent in this year's gubernatorial race, concerning child sex changes are "not true," and declares he's "never supported gender reassignment surgery for kids – and those procedures don’t happen here in Kentucky."

He also referenced his promise to "support parents," who he says "know what's best" for their children, a position he has maintained when it comes to other types of transgender-related treatments, such as hormone therapies, which...Read more and see video here.

Jack Smith's Long History of Failed Prosecution Cases Against Republicans                                            Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet

After news broke late Thursday night that corrupt Special Counsel Jack Smith was gearing up to bring additional charges against former President Trump, the 45th president insisted Smith was weaponizing the Justice Department. 

Calling it “harassment,” Trump responded to Smith’s decision to bring more charges against him in the indictment over his possession of classified documents, despite President Joe Biden facing almost no repercussions for doing the same thing. 

“It’s not a criminal case,” Trump began. “Where’s Biden with all the documents? He’s got 20 times, 30 times the documents I have, and he has not made it easy for them either. He has been hiding boxes. They’re sending boxes to Chinatown. Boxes are being sent to Chinatown, yet China is paying them millions of dollars. You explain that one. You don’t even hear about it. All you hear about is Trump.”

Door may be open to impeaching Biden for misdeeds committed prior to presidency: legal experts

House Speaker McCarthy has floated idea in recent days of impeaching President Biden

Brooke Singman | Fox News  

 

House Republicans have floated launching an impeachment inquiry against President Biden amid newly surfaced allegations that suggest his involvement in the business dealings his son, Hunter. But can congressional lawmakers initiate the use of that constitutional tool for alleged treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors that transpired before holding the office of the presidency?

"The answer is clear," Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Fox News Digital. "No one knows."

Article II, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution states: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

But it doesn’t specify whether those alleged actions need to take place during the time the official holds the office. Read more and see videos here.

Here's Why Joe Biden Can't Pardon His Son

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

It has not been a good week for the Biden White House. The evidence of wrongdoing from their alleged bribery operation hasn’t been refuted or disproven. Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal got tossed by a judge who apparently saw it as a perversion of justice. Hunter was about to plead guilty to gun and tax evasion charges and get no jail time. It was a crock.

Spencer wrote today that more unethical activities were uncovered through new emails, where Hunter wanted a $2 million retainer to recover frozen Libyan assets in 2015. The emails were sent among Democratic donors, who mulled the proposal due to Hunter's access to then-Vice President Joe Biden.

Leah added that Hunter is also being investigated for being a foreign agent by the Justice Department, which law professor Jonathan Turley said is a charge the Biden White House fears most. Turley added that pardoning Hunter remains the “break-the-glass” option regarding this emerging scandal that could detonate...Read more and see tweets here.

Fed hikes interest rates to 22-year high after June pause 

Shannon Thaler / NEW YORK POST / Business 

 

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday took its foot off the brakes and hiked interest rates yet again — taking them to a 22-year high.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell announced the unanimous decision for a quarter-point hike, raising the benchmark federal-funds rate to a range between 5.25% and 5.5%. 

It marked the 11th increase in the past 12 meetings following last month’s brief pause.

The hike sent the benchmark rate to its highest point since 2001 — and Powell signaled that another increase is possible before the year’s out as officials continue to wrestle with stubbornly-high inflation.

“The process of getting inflation back down to 2% has a long way to go,” Powell said at a press conference following the decision.

“We think we’re going to need to hold, certainly, policy at restrictive levels for some time, and we’d be prepared to raise further if we think that’s appropriate.”. Read more and see video here.
