EUROPE PRETENDS TO OWN GREENLAND
Americans already defend Greenland.  Pretending that it somehow belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark is petty narcissism.
J.B Shurk    January 8, 2026
The most detestable thing about European-constructed “globalism” is its pretense. It pretends that man-made “climate change” will kill everyone unless we allow bureaucratic busybodies to regulate all economic exchange. It pretends that Russia is about to conquer all of Europe, even though all of Europe has been mocking Russia as a third-world paper tiger for the last thirty years. It pretends that the mass invasion of foreigners from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia is completely natural, impossible to prevent, and that acceptance and toleration is the “humanitarian” thing to do. It pretends that its native citizens are “racists” for wishing to preserve their own cultures in their own lands. Even while it welcomes Islamic civilizational conquest throughout the continent, European “globalism” pretends that its mangled, mismanaged, and misremembered civilization remains the central and paramount expression of enlightened progress in the world.
To outsiders not imbued with a sense of European entitlement or burdened by Europe’s policy delusions, Europe is a mess. It is presently reconstituting itself into a self-hating-Islamocentric-parasitically-pluralistic-historically-illiterate morass of cultural meaninglessness. Europe’s movies and television shows regularly bowdlerize history by removing native Europeans from ancient tales. Europe’s suicide will be complete when every actor is non-white and every storyline reinforces the narrative that Muslims settled all the lands from the North Sea to the Mediterranean. These multicultural historical revisions are preposterous. Yet when native Brits point out that there were no African Celts during the time of Caesar’s invasion or Pakistani lords in the royal courts of the Middle Ages, the dis-United Kingdom sends social media “thought police” to harass and legally threaten anyone unwilling to pretend that history is offensive and must therefore be rewritten.

In matters of personal defense, Europe does nothing but pretend. Big, bad French president Emmanuel Macron, seriously terrifying U.K. prime minister Keir Starmer, and king kraut German chancellor Friedrich Merz rounded up Europe’s “coalition of the willing” in Paris recently to join hands with holdover-president Zelenskyy and stare down Russia’s President Putin with all the glowering determination that men wearing ten-thousand-dollar suits can bear. Although European elites mock us Americans as a bunch of ignorant, hick cowboys, the Paris summit did what it could to convey to the world that Europe’s most serious lawmen had formed a deadly posse that would not relent until every last Russian had been chased out of the European Union’s expanding plantation.

Yet aside from European leaders’ love for bloviation and their penchant for ratcheting up their noses so high in the sky that the rest of the world sees nothing but nose hair, how will they back up all their anti-Russian threats? They can’t. Their militaries are wet noodles, and every European general knows it. It is the U.S. military that allows European lords to prance on stage with the affectation that they possess vestigial spines. It is American troops and their cowboy ways that allow European elites to pretend that their natural state is anything other than supine surrender. You take away U.S. military might from dying NATO, and a contingent of good-ol’-boy Texans could take most of France before mini-mouse Macron changed into his high-heeled loafers.

So why is the Danish prime minister announcing to the world that a U.S. takeover of Greenland would mark the end of NATO? That’s like announcing to an unknown arsonist that if he doesn’t stop setting fires, you’ll disband the fire department. What is the Danish prime minister’s thinking here? She has one rowboat filled with three guys armed with morally indignant words and a flare gun guarding the world’s largest island. If she sends American troops and military hardware back to the Western Hemisphere, then maybe the same Russian army that has spent the last four years trying to tame the Eastern territories of Ukraine really does conquer all of Europe. I mean, how does Denmark’s prime minister Mette Frederiksen plan to defend her Nordic peninsula and surrounding islands from Putin’s Slavic horde? With furrowed brows, legally binding treaties, and stern words?

WHAT’S BEHIND THE TAKEDOWN OF MADURO ?

 

What’s Behind US Takedown of Maduro? What’s Next?

Trump’s takeover of Venezuela is not merely about oil or regime change but about dealing with the Deep State-backed Communist threat to America and the Western Hemisphere. Will the gamble work?

 

With the arrest of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro on multiple federal charges, a can of worms has officially been opened. As usual, most of the media is missing (or hiding) the real story.

For decades, Latin America has been a key battlefield in the global communist advance, with Venezuela serving as one of its most strategic footholds.

What began as a Marxist revolution cloaked in populist rhetoric metastasized into a narco-terrorist, Cuban- and Chinese-backed dictatorship that exported and funded chaos, drugs, subversion, and revolution throughout the hemisphere. America is the ultimate prize.

Maduro’s regime, through drug trafficking and theft of oil, was basically the cash cow for the dangerous communist network known as the “São Paulo Forum,” taking over the region like a red tsunami.

Founded in 1990 by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, Luis Inacio “Lula” da Silva (then a community organizer, now “president” of Brazil), the Marxist narco-terror group FARC in Colombia, the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, and others, the goal was always to enslave the region.

We’ve been covering this extensively in The New AmericanThe Epoch Times, and other publications for decades.

Countless nations in Latin America have fallen victim to this network, including Venezuela.

As a puppet regime of Cuba (itself a puppet of the Soviet Union, a regime brought to power and built up by the Deep State), Caracas became a key hub for communist infiltration aimed at undermining liberty, sovereignty, and ultimately the United States itself.

With Cuban help and direction, Venezuela also became the global center for developing tools and technologies to steal elections. There is no doubt that this was on Trump’s mind.

Maduro and Hugo Chavez before him were also deeply involved with Hamas, Hezbollah, the Islamic regime ruling Iran, and other dangerous forces.

As U.S. National Security Council Director of Policy and Planning Rich Higgins warned in 2017, the communist, socialist, Islamist, and globalist alliance seeks to destroy the United States—not just as a nation but as an ideal.

These subversive forces in Latin America have long been backed by the “Deep State” in the United States. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, George Soros, and others have all aided and abetted the Sao Paulo Forum’s machinations, as have operatives within the State Department and the intelligence community

Against that backdrop, President Trump’s “Operation Absolute Resolve” was not merely a military strike or law enforcement operation; it was a frontal challenge to the dangerous global networks that have been tightening their grip on Latin America (and the US) for a generation.

The operation was executed flawlessly. Whether it was wise or constitutional is another question entirely that will be debated for months, if not years.

There were obvious similarities to the capture of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. Law Professor Nicholas Creel at Georgia College and State University argued that the prosecution should have a slam-dunk case.

NEW YORK CITY MAMDANI

Planned Incompetence

By: Judd Garrett

Objectivity is the Objective

December 31, 2025

Last Tuesday, two days before Christmas, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani appointed Lillian Bonsignore, a lesbian woman with zero operational firefighting experience, as the head of the Fire Department of New York City (FDNY). At first glance, it’s easy to accuse Mamdani of making the typical far-left DEI hire of a member of the LGBTQ community who is clearly unqualified for the job. These types of hirings have been going on in this country over the last 10 to 15 years. But it is much more nefarious and sinister than that. This exact same type of hiring happened in Los Angeles back in 2022 when Kristin Crowley, also a member of the LGBTQ community, was hired to lead the LAFD. She was unqualified for the job, and they knew it, but they hired her anyway. Being a DEI hire was a shield from criticism. If anybody pointed out her lack of experience or her lack of qualifications, they were immediately accused of being a bigot against members of the LGBTQ community. They were called “misogynist” or “homophobic”. We know the script.

So, the question is, why would Los Angeles and New York City make DEI hires in such consequential positions? Both cities are bloated with bureaucracy – government employees who get paid a lot of money, who do basically nothing. Why wouldn’t they make their DEI hires in that bloated bureaucracy of inconsequence? Why would they make these types of hires in a position whose decisions put the very lives of the citizens at stake? This is not just about DEI. I’m sure they could have found a DEI candidate with firefighting experience who would have some level of capability to do the job. This person was hired because she’s unqualified, incompetent, and will inevitably do a very bad job. Competent fire chiefs will know how to contain fires. Inexperienced, incompetent fire chiefs will oversee complete fire disasters. And that’s what they want.

Look at what happened in Los Angeles. Two years after hiring the unqualified and incompetent DEI candidate, Kristin Crowley, as head of the LAFD, Los Angeles experienced one of the deadliest wildfires in the city’s history, and the fire department had no clue how to contain it. The water reservoirs were so low that the firefighters lacked the resources to adequately fight the fires and prevent them from spreading. Large swathes of Los Angeles were burned to the ground, mainly middle-class to upper-middle-class communities, like the Pacific Palisades. Many people have lost their homes and have been displaced.

SOCIALIST CELL IN U.S.U

Second front: How a socialist cell in the US mobilized pro-Maduro foot soldiers within 12 hours

 January 3, 2026  By Asra Q. Nomani Fox News

As the U.S. military carried out a daring operation to capture Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, a second front opened up within minutes in the United States  an information warfare, psychological and propaganda operation run by a hardened cell of self-described Marxist, socialist and communist leaders.

For years, this cell has fomented anti-American hate in the U.S. under the cover of “anti-war” protests, rallying activists after the 9/11 attacks to condemn the U.S. response, appropriating “anti-racism” protests after the 2020 killing of George Floyd, marching with Antifa agitators, organizing antisemitic campus encampments after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas and activating “working-class Americans” to support Maduro and his regime in a war against “U.S. imperialism.”

A Fox News Digital analysis of their minute-by-minute moves overnight reveals how this network activated a coordinated ideological and information warfare campaign, moving through digital social media channels with quickly produced posters to mobilize foot soldiers to the streets for an “EMERGENCY DAY OF ACTION” in New York City; Washington, D.C.; and an estimated 100 other cities, moving with the speed and discipline of an organized military operation.

Over 12 hours, a network of self-described socialist, communist and Marxist organizations used social media to launch an anti-American propaganda and street campaign in the U.S. to support Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. (@BTNewsroom/X, @manolo_realengo/X, @answercoalition/X, @PeoplesForumNYC/X, @PSLNational/X, @VijayPrashad/X, @CodePink/X)

At 1:35 a.m., as U.S. special forces teams had just landed in Venezuela, BreakThrough News, a socialist propaganda arm of the network, published some of the first video from the U.S. military strikes, blasting the Trump administration for waging an “illegal bombing campaign of Caracas,” the capital of Venezuela. It was a talking point that was going to stick.

TRUMP REVEALS VENEZUELA’S MADURO WAS CAPTURED IN ‘FORTRESS’-LIKE HOUSE: ‘HE GOT BUM RUSHED SO FAST’

Ten minutes later, at 1:45 a.m., one of the key leaders of this network, Manolo De Los Santos, executive director at The People’s Forum, a proudly socialist 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in New York City, echoed the narrative on social media of an “illegal bombing.”

Less than an hour later, at 2:29 a.m., the ANSWER Coalition, a nonprofit co-founded by a proud Marxist, Brian Becker, published a red siren alert on the social media platform X with a slick new poster, calling supporters to the streets in Times Square for a protest Saturday to support Maduro.

“NO WAR ON VENEZUELA! STOP THE BOMBINGS,” the poster screamed, on brand.

EXPLOSIONS HEARD IN VENEZUELAN CAPITAL OF CARACAS: REPORTS

Minutes later, at 2:34 a.m., The People’s Forum shared the call-to-action, screaming: “EMERGENCY PROTEST”

Soon after, at 2:43 a.m., the Party for Socialism and Liberation shared the poster on X, saying, “Stop the bombings…!”

Congressional lawmakers are already investigating this socialist network for its ties to Neville Roy Singham, a United States-born technology executive who relocated to Shanghai after selling his software firm and starting work that critics say is aligned closely with interests of the Chinese Communist Party. Singham didn’t respond to a request for comment.

PORTLAND’S IMMIGRATION LEAVE !!!

The stupidity of liberals is truly amazing  !   Nancy  

YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP: Portland Rolls Out PAID “Immigration Leave” — City Workers Get 40 Hours Off for Deportation Hearings While Taxpayers Foot the Bill, No Questions Asked

by Jim Hᴏft  Jan. 3, 2026

The City of Portland has officially rolled out a new taxpayer-funded benefit: paid “Immigration, Naturalization, and Citizenship Leave” Human Resources Administrative Rule (HRAR) 6.15.

City officials have now committed public funds to cover paid leave for immigration court proceedings—including deportation hearings while blocking basic oversight, all while the city is facing a $66 million shortfall.

As of January 1, 2026, city workers in Portland, Oregon, can now clock out for up to 40 hours a year — without losing pay or benefits — to deal with immigration-related legal matters for themselves or for family members.

Eligible employees may use this leave for activities such as:

  • Obtaining legal support or meeting with immigration or criminal defense attorneys
  • Attending interviews or tests related to naturalization or citizenship
  • Appearing at state or federal criminal court proceedings
  • Deportation hearings
  • Matters involving “unlawful detention” related to immigration status.

For the first 40 hours each year, this leave is paid and coded in the payroll system as IMLV, with the employee remaining on regular payroll the entire time.

The policy does not stop with the employee.

HRAR 6.15 explicitly allows this paid leave to be used to support:

  • A spouse
  • A child
  • A parent
  • A sibling
  • Or anyone with a “close association” equivalent to family.

Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the policy is its strict privacy mandate.

Under HRAR 6.15, supervisors and managers are prohibited from asking about or collecting information related to:

  • An employee’s immigration status
  • Citizenship status
  • Country of birth
  • employees are also instructed not to provide such information to the city, except where strictly required by state or federal law

Trump says U.S. will run Venezuela until a new government is in place

By Jeff Mordock The Washington Times  Saturday, January 3, 2026

President Trump said Saturday that the U.S. will “run” Venezuela until the new government can be put in place after the American military removed dictator Nicolas Maduro from power.

“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a proper and judicious transition,” Mr. Trump said. “We don’t want to be involved with someone else getting in, and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years.”

Mr. Trump did not provide any details on how the U.S. would run Venezuela or what the time frame would be for a transition to a new government for the country.

IRAN – SOARING INFLATION AND CURRENCY COLLAPSE

 

Multiple deaths reported as protests over soaring inflation and currency collapse spread across Iran

2:16 PM – Thursday, January 1, 2026

Multiple people have reportedly been killed as protests erupt across Iran over the collapse of the national currency and increasingly high inflation rates.

According to Newsweek, at least six people were killed on Thursday as protesters continue to clash with security forces over economic woes such as increasing inflation rates, which have soared to 40%, along with the collapse of the nation’s currency.

The nationwide protests, now in their fifth day, are the largest in three years, with reports of fatalities in cities including Lordegan, Kuhdasht, and Isfahan.

Video footage from Lordegan shows large crowds gathering as shots can be heard. Local rights groups claimed that two protesters were killed by security forces, who allegedly opened fire on the demonstrators.

The regime’s response to the protests has taken a softer tone, allowing media coverage of the protests while state broadcasters appear sympathetic to the reasoning behind the outrage.

Previous crackdowns on protests have resulted in authorities shutting down communications and labeling protesters as foreign agents, demonstrating the shift in tone.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian publicly acknowledged the government’s responsibility for the nationwide outrage, proclaiming, “If people are dissatisfied, we are to blame—not America or anyone else.”

“Our failures are the result of poor management,” Pezeshkian added.

One local shopper in the Iranian suburb of Karaj told Iran International that “Khamenei has spent over four decades chasing war, missiles and chanting, ‘Death to this or that.’ Now, we can’t even afford rice.”

Meanwhile, American officials expressed support for Iranian protesters in a social media post, calling on Iranians to take a stand against Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

“The people of Iran want freedom. They have suffered at the hands of the Ayatollahs for too long. We stand with Iranians in the streets of Tehran and across the country as they protest a radical regime that has brought them nothing but economic downturn and war,” wrote U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz on Monday.

The nationwide protests come as President Donald Trump threatened to “knock the hell out of” Iran if it rebuilds its nuclear weapons or ballistic missile programs, after the United States “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear facilities in June.

SPACE’S ‘SLIPPERY SLOPE’

A space ‘slippery slope’: Who is responsible for commercial satellites crucial to national security?

By Ben Wolfgang  The Washington Times  Tuesday, December 30, 2025

This scenario seems highly likely in a major 21st-century conflict: An adversary destroys some of the commercial space satellites on which the U.S. military relies.

Will the U.S. government pick up the bill to replace those satellites, given their vital roles in national security? Will each company with such assets in orbit be treated the same by an across-the-board federal policy or a new law? Or will individual firms negotiate with the Pentagon their own terms of financial protection and wartime reimbursement, depending on how badly the government needs the specific capability that only they can provide?

Those questions are a priority right now inside the Defense Department and in the C-suites of leading American defense companies. In many ways, they represent a uniquely American problem. The thin lines between government and industry in communist China, for example, erase any uncertainty about who is ultimately responsible for defense-related assets in space.

But for the U.S., it’s a much more nuanced proposition. And it’s on track to become infinitely more complicated in the years to come, when the U.S. Space Force by its own estimation could rely heavily on privately owned and operated satellites for everything from command and control to surveillance and reconnaissance and from navigation to communications.

“It’s obviously a question that’s been under debate a lot. It’s a slippery slope,” Air Force Secretary Troy E. Meink told The Washington Times recently.

Mr. Meink said similar questions are at play in other arenas, such as undersea cables that transmit data across the world and are typically owned by leading telecommunications companies, big tech firms or other private actors.

Uncertainty about targets

But nowhere will the questions be more prevalent in space, given both the rapidly expanding importance of the domain to virtually everything else that the U.S. military does and the relatively small number of companies capable of doing the complex and expensive work to launch, operate and maintain cutting-edge satellites.

“The challenge has always been trying to go in and specifically underwrite or front any commercial services. It kind of just opens up that can of worms,” Mr. Meink said during a media roundtable at the recent Spacepower 2025 conference in Orlando, Florida.

“Do you have to do that for every commercial service the government uses? That’s untenable at some point,” the secretary said in response to questions from The Times. “But that doesn’t mean there’s not something that should be done and something that can be done. But that’s a very tricky, kind of policy-infused … question that we have to work our way through.”

For war planners, one of the most difficult aspects is figuring out exactly what could become a target, as analysts say that a wide swath of space-related infrastructure could be viewed as de facto pieces of the American war machine, especially by an enemy.

“In a future conflict, other U.S. space operators may find themselves in an adversary’s crosshairs because of the possibility that they might provide service to the U.S. government, even if they were not currently doing so,” Clayton Swope, deputy director of the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, wrote in a recent in-depth analysis of how the U.S. government can protect commercial satellites.

The threats to those private satellites are no longer theoretical.

ILLEGAL VOTING REVEALED AS GOP SCRUBS VOTER ROLLS

 

More cases of illegal voting are coming to light as GOP scrubs voter rolls

By Stephen Dinan  The Washington Times  Monday, December 29, 2025

Jose Ceballos never attained U.S. citizenship, yet voting records show he managed to cast ballots in at least two dozen elections dating back to 2006.

He may have been voting before that, but that is as far back as the Kansas secretary of state’s records go.

 

That Mr. Ceballos was serving as mayor of Coldwater, a town near the Oklahoma border, makes the case all the more astonishing.

His case arose just weeks after Ian Roberts, then the superintendent of public schools in Des Moines, Iowa, was arrested as an illegal immigrant. It quickly became clear that he had been registered to vote in Maryland for years despite having worked outside the state since at least 2015. He last re-registered to vote in Maryland a year after that, in December 2016.

They were the marquee examples of illegal voting, but by no means the only ones in 2025.

Federal authorities brought voting cases against at least 10 other immigrants this year, accusing them of casting ballots despite not having attained U.S. citizenship.

That included Carlos Jose Abreu, sentenced to 65 months in prison for illegal voting, aggravated identity theft and firearms violations, and Haoxiang Gao, who authorities said voted in 2024 and then called election officials trying to recant his vote. He then fled the U.S. to avoid prosecution.

It also includes Denis Bouchard, a Canadian who prosecutors said has voted in elections in North Carolina for more than 20 years despite never attaining citizenship.

It includes Svitlana Demydenko and her daughter Yelyzaveta, Ukrainian immigrants who are accused of voting in Florida in 2024 despite not being citizens. They have entered not guilty pleas.

The White House’s Department of Government Efficiency was credited with helping bring several of the cases to light.

The advent of the Trump administration marked a major shift in the issue. The Department of Homeland Security, which had been previously accused of hindering states that wanted to run their voter registration rolls through government databases, moved to streamline the process and reduce fees.

VEILED MUSLIM WOMAN RUNNING AS REPUBLICAN IN NORTH CAROLINA

 

Primary Sabotage? Niqab-Wearing Muslim Woman Who Has Voted Democrat Since at Least 2008 is the ONLY ‘Republican’ Running for North Carolina Senate

by Cassandra MacDonald  Dec. 28, 2025

In a move that has shocked conservatives across social media, a niqab-wearing Muslim woman named Lakeshia M. Alston has filed to run as a Republican for North Carolina State Senate District 22 in the 2026 election.

Alston is the only Republican in the race so far, and her history screams lifelong Democrat.

The shocking move has led many to question if this is an infiltration tactic from the left, designed to disrupt GOP primaries and hand victories to Democrats in the general election.

PERMANENT WASHINGTON- WAITING OUT THIS ADMINISTRATION

 

Permanent Washington Intends To Wait This Administration Out And To Make Sure His Battleships Never Set Sail

“The President does not decide what the Navy does. These unelected denizens of the unaccountable 4th branch of government do.”

Sam Faddis

Dec 27, 2025

Many years ago, while I was still serving undercover in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), I attended a series of briefings given to Chiefs of Station before they went out to take over their posts. There were maybe twenty of us in the room, all new Chiefs getting ready to head out into the field.

The Director of CIA came and spoke to us one day just before we were to break for lunch. He gave a very powerful and very direct talk regarding what he expected of us. The gist of it was that he wanted us to be aggressive, take risks, and swing for the fences. He never wanted to hear about anyone being risk-averse or failing to push the envelope. He wanted us to think big.

It was an inspiring address. Then the Director left the room. We all stood up to head out for lunch. The chief of our area division got up quickly and told us to sit back down. Then he went outside to make sure the Director was really gone before he came back into the room.

TRUMPS BIGGEST WARSHIP DREAM GETS CANCELLED BY THE NAVY

Our area division chief then told us in no uncertain terms to disregard everything we had just been told. He did not care what the Director, his boss, thought. Our marching orders remained the same, and he had no interest in anyone “pushing the envelope” or “swinging for the fences”. Caution was the word of the day.

The room went silent. We went to lunch demoralized and certain that nothing would ever change.

Right now, all over Washington, I have to think a great many good men and women are experiencing the same emotion. They were momentarily elated when Trump took office. Now they see that inside the key federal agencies, nothing has really changed.

Take a look at what just happened when Trump announced the launch of a new class of “battleships”. His words were clear and unmistakable. We were going to build the largest such vessels since the Second World War, and we were going to do it in record time. The President estimated that the lead ship of the class would be operational in two and one-half years.

“The President has been clear – we must bring back our American Maritime Industrial might, and he has told me many times that as Secretary of the Navy, it is my job to equip our sailors to win the fight at sea with the finest ships in our history.

Now, when a conflict arises, you’re going to ask us two questions: where is the carrier, and where is the battleship?”

MASSIVE CHINESE MILITARY BUILDUP

 

Massive Chinese military buildup threatens U.S. homeland

Annual report details aggressive new nuclear attack posture, hypersonic missile development and aircraft carrier construction

By Bill Gertz   December 24, 2025

The Chinese military is continuing a massive, decades-long arms buildup, including a shift in nuclear force doctrine that increases the danger of a direct attack on the U.S., according to the Pentagon’s annual China military power report.

China’s historic military buildup has made the U.S. homeland increasingly vulnerable,” the report states. “China maintains a large and growing arsenal of nuclear, maritime, conventional long-range strike, cyber and space capabilities able to directly threaten Americans’ security,” the report says.

The annual assessment, made public Tuesday, warns that the People’s Liberation Army continues to progress toward its 2027 modernization goals that include preparations for using force to annex Taiwan and threatening nuclear strikes on the United States to prevent American forces from intervening in a defense of the self-ruled island

SUPREME COURT -CALIFORNIA AND PARENT’S RIGHTS

California can’t hide students’ gender identity in ‘historic’ legal win for parental rights

 The Washington Times  Tuesday, December 23, 2025

A federal judge ruled that California schools can’t conceal students’ different-sex gender identities from their families, delivering a smackdown of the hotly contested state policy in a landmark victory for parental-rights advocates.

U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez permanently blocked policies backed by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and other state officials requiring schools to keep parents out of the loop on their children’s gender transitions.

The judge also ruled that schools don’t need student authorization to disclose different-sex names and pronouns.
