The leftist activist group Shout Your Abortion has posted six billboards across Interstate 55, which spans through five strongly pro-life states.
The billboards, which variously state in huge letters, “God’s Plan Includes Abortion,” and “Abortion Is Okay. You Are Loved,” have been placed on the route going north toward Illinois, a very pro-abortion state.

We are so proud of these billboards. If you see one on I-55, take a pic and let us know.

“It feels really good to think that we could have made somebody’s experience just a little bit easier,” Amelia Bonow, 38, the executive director of Shout Your Abortion, told <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/09/20/shout-your-abortion-billboards-illinois/?utm_campaign=wp_main&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>.
Bonow said although the billboards are scheduled to be removed next week, “I would love for them to be everywhere.”
Back in 2018, the Left-wing activist explained why she helped start the &#8220;shout your abortion&#8221; movement.
“[W]hen I found out that the House of Representatives had voted to defund Planned Parenthood. I kind of unraveled,&#8221; Bonow <a href="https://www.oprah.com/inspiration/how-one-woman-became-an-activist-with-the-hashtag-shoutyourabortion_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in Oprah Winfrey’s magazine “Oprah” in July 2018. “I opened Facebook and, without thinking, wrote, ‘Like a year ago, I had an abortion at Planned Parenthood &#8230; and I remember this experience with a nearly inexpressible level of gratitude.’ I hit Post 153 words later, and everything changed.”
“&#8230; after the House vote, it struck me that the times I’d ranted about abortion rights, I hadn’t actually invoked my own experience,” she continued. “On some level, I’d internalized the stigma — though I honestly wasn’t ashamed. Then why hide? It wasn’t out of character for me to disclose something so personal online. What was out of character was my silence. “
Bonow’s friend, Lindy West, saw Bonow’s Facebook post. She <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/sep/22/i-set-up-shoutyourabortion-because-i-am-not-sorry-and-i-will-not-whisper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, “With her permission, I screengrabbed Amelia’s post and put it on Twitter, with a hashtag that seemingly wrote itself: Don’t whisper, #ShoutYourAbortion.”
 The movement was pushed by Hollywood, including actresses Lizz Winstead and Sarah Silverman promoted a “Stand Up for Shout Your Abortion” <a href="https://improv.com/hollywood/event/stand+up+for+shout+your+abortion/8825625/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">party</a>  in Los Angeles.

In addition to the questions of morality when it comes to abortion, a 2018 <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/abortion-and-mental-health-quantitative-synthesis-and-analysis-of-research-published-19952009/E8D556AAE1C1D2F0F8B060B28BEE6C3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> published in the British Journal of Psychiatry that examined roughly 160,000 women who had undergone an abortion stated, “Women who had undergone an abortion experienced an 81% increased risk of mental health problems, and nearly 10% of the incidence of mental health problems was shown to be attributable to abortion.”
Tighter laws protecting unborn children, especially throughout the South, went into effect following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> is not normal. If that wasn&#8217;t obvious to you yet, the latest video out of Helsinki showing Biden nibbling on a small child should make it plain as day that the president is perverse. In that case, maybe it&#8217;s a good thing he has spent zero time around Hunter&#8217;s daughter in Arkansas.
The video going viral can be seen below:

This author&#8217;s gutteral reaction to first seeing that clip was an audible, &#8220;Argh.&#8221; It was so loud that a colleague had to say, &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong?&#8221; In other words, it&#8217;s a natural instinct to be disgusted by that video — especially as a parent.
Many others on Twitter had a similar sentiment:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Thats not playful. You don&#39;t do that to a child that you don&#39;t know especially when the child reacts that way the child did.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Any person of sound mind who sees that video would reasonably conclude that Biden acted inappropriately. If some old man at a church picnic put his mouth on a child like Biden did, you could easily imagine that a parent or any adult witnessing it would step in, shield the child, and give the creeper a sharp elbow to the chest — at the very least — while using some choice language. Cops might even be called.
You certainly wouldn&#8217;t let your kid near him anymore.

So perhaps there&#8217;s one silver lining to the fact that Biden doesn&#8217;t see or recognize all of his grandchildren. The American people have one less small child we have to worry about the president harassing.
It&#8217;s all so twisted.

President Joe Biden is being blasted online for his unwillingness to acknowledge his own grandchild, the four-year-old girl his troubled son Hunter Biden fathered with a former stripper who now lives in Arkansas.
The social media condemnation followed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre&#8217;s refusal to answer a question about the little girl, Navy Joan Roberts. On Saturday, The New York Times ran a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/us/politics/hunter-biden-daughter-arkansas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">story</a> about the girl, noting that the child knows who her father and grandfather are and that a recent child support settlement between her parents bars her from using the Biden name.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

“There was a story in The New York Times over the weekend about Hunter Biden&#8217;s daughter in Arkansas. Does the president acknowledge this little girl as his granddaughter?” Wall Street Journal’s Catherine Lucey asked Jean-Pierre on Wednesday.
“I don&#8217;t have anything to share from here,” Jean-Pierre replied.

It was not the first time Jean-Pierre ducked the question. In May, a reporter asked Jean-Pierre why the president and First Lady had not acknowledged their seventh grandchild.
“I’m not going to speak to that from here,” Jean-Pierre answered.

In April, Joe Biden told a group of kids, “I have six grandchildren. And I’m crazy about them. And I speak to them every single day.”
The refusal to acknowledge the existence of his own flesh and blood has raised questions for many about Biden&#8217;s carefully cultivated image as a family man.
“Biden claims to be a devoted ‘family man,’ but his persistent refusal to acknowledge his granddaughter&#8217;s existence raises troubling questions about his capacity for human kindness and paternal love,” Joe Gabriel Simonson of the Washington Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/the-cruelty-is-the-point-biden-orders-wh-staff-to-deny-granddaughters-existence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
Jean-Pierre’s reaction on Wednesday catalyzed more mockery from conservatives online.
“The Bidens hung a Christmas stocking with the dog’s name on it, and the President won’t acknowledge his own granddaughter,”  RealClearInvestigations’ Mark Hemingway wrote.

‘Feel The Empathy And Decency’: Biden Slammed For Not Acknowledging His Own Grandchild

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House</a> aides are reportedly being lied to in strategy meetings in an apparent attempt to cover up the president’s seventh grandchild, an illegitimate child fathered by the president’s son, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter.</a>
As President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> readies for his re-election campaign, his team is worried that a four-year-old child living in Arkansas could tarnish the president’s choreographed image as a devoted family man. The president has been a forceful supporter of Hunter amid allegations of corruption and influence-peddling that evidence suggests could also involve the president.
Despite his strong devotion to Hunter, the president has failed to meet, speak with, or even publicly acknowledge his four-year-old granddaughter living in Arkansas, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/us/politics/hunter-biden-daughter-arkansas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>. The girl, named Navy Joan, is reportedly the product of a sordid romance between Hunter and Lunden Roberts that took place soon after Hunter’s relationship with his deceased brother’s widow, Hallie, ended.
The president’s team is reportedly pushing a public relations strategy that involves never recognizing Navy Joan as part of the Biden family. White House aides are reportedly being told in strategy sessions that the president only has six grandchildren, not seven, according to the Times.
The report comes after the president and the White House have repeatedly failed to acknowledge Navy Joan. In May, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer questions about the child.
“I wanted to ask about the trial going on in Arkansas with Hunter Biden and the child support. Are the president and first lady monitoring that? And how come they haven’t acknowledged the seventh grandchild?” a reporter asked the press secretary, referring to a years-long child support payment battle that was settled last week.
Jean-Pierre <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/karine-jean-pierre-stonewalls-questions-on-presidents-unacknowledged-arkansas-grandchild" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a>: “I’m not going to speak to that from here.”
Biden has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-falsely-claims-he-has-six-grandchildren-leaves-off-hunters-arkansas-daughter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">repeatedly</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-falsely-claims-to-have-four-granddaughters-ignoring-hunters-illegitimate-child" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed</a> to acknowledge his seventh grandchild in public comments about his family, typically revolving around his love and devotion to them.
“The best part of it all, I have six grandchildren, and I’m crazy about them. I speak to them every single day,” Biden said at a White House event in April. “Not a joke,” he added.

Hunter and Navy Joan’s mother, Lunden Roberts, settled a legal battle over Hunter’s child support payments on Thursday. Hunter had been paying Roberts $20,000 a month in child support, and the Biden scion had sought to have that amount reduced, pleading that he could not afford it.
Roberts and Hunter agreed to decrease the amount to $ 5,000 a month. Roberts also gave up a push to allow Navy Joan to take on the Biden family name, something that Hunter had fought against. Navy Joan will <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/07/02/hunter-bidens-daughter-paintings-child-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">receive</a> some of Hunter’s amateur artwork, which the 4-year-old will be able to pick out herself. Hunter’s artwork has sold at auction for as much as $500,000. The buyers’ identities are unknown.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>, the son of President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>, agreed to give some of his paintings to his daughter as part of a settlement in a child dispute case in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/arkansas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arkansas</a>.
A <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23864218/hunter-biden-settlement-announcement.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">court filing</a> on Thursday outlines the agreement with Lunden Roberts, the mother of their young daughter, however some details are hidden from the public&#8217;s view.
Hunter Biden, who had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/struggling-artist-hunter-biden-asks-for-lower-child-support-payments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requested</a> that his $20,000 monthly child support payments be lowered, will continue to provide money as part of the settlement, but the amount agreed upon is hidden under redactions.
What is made clear is that Biden agreed to assign the child a number of his paintings for a period of time, &#8220;which shall vary in size with a minimum size of 24&#215;24,&#8221; according to the filing. &#8220;The child shall select the painting which shall either be sent to the child or sent to a gallery designated by Lunden Roberts. The net proceeds of any sales of paintings shall be wired to an account designated by Lunden Roberts,&#8221; the filing adds.
Biden&#8217;s paintings have been listed for as <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/02/05/hunter-biden-art-investigation-republican/11170330002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high as $500,000</a> and <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11523295/Hunter-Biden-sells-paintings-225-000-anonymous-buyers.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sold for up to $225,000</a>, prompting ethics concerns for the White House and an alleged deal to <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/house-republicans-hunter-biden-art-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">keep buyers anonymous</a> except to the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/01/politics/hunter-biden-deposition-court-hearing/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gallery owner</a>. When it was reported in 2020 that Biden had taken up art, he <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/28/arts/design/hunter-biden-art.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told The New York Times</a> that painting was keeping him &#8220;sane&#8221; after years of drug addiction.
Sales of Biden&#8217;s artwork are <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-united-states-government-robert-hunter-us-republican-party-house-of-representatives-f8de98b4372b91898852b9e1627ed72b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one area of investigation</a> for House Republicans, who are also looking into the financial dealings of Biden and other members of his family over concerns about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-reaches-plea-deal-over-tax-crimes-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">corruption making its way to the White House</a>. And in a federal inquiry, Hunter Biden recently agreed to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-reaches-plea-deal-over-tax-crimes-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plea deal on tax and gun violations</a> that could spare him of prison time.
Roberts, who has been identified as a former stripper from Arkansas, sued Biden for paternity and child support in the summer of 2019 shortly after it was reported that Biden had married another woman, <a href="https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2019/jun/20/paternity-suit-lists-bidens-son-49/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette</a>. Biden initially denied having sexual relations with Roberts, but DNA testing showed <a href="https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2019/nov/20/dna-test-shows-hunter-biden-father-arkansas-womans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;with scientific certainty&#8221;</a> that he was the father of her daughter.
A 2020 settlement stipulated Biden pay $20,000 in child support every month retroactive to 2018, the year the child was born, but by last fall, the president&#8217;s son asked that the amount be decreased because of a “substantial material change” in his financial situation.

A lawyer for the 53-year-old Biden claimed in May that his client had already given <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/06/03/hunter-biden-paternity-case-family-name-child-support/70170724007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$750,000 to Roberts</a>, but Roberts accused Biden of &#8220;living lavishly&#8221; while pretending to be &#8220;financially destitute,&#8221; <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hunter-biden-accused-of-living-lavishly-in-child-support-case-2023-4?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=yahoo.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per Insider</a>. A judge <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/01/politics/hunter-biden-deposition-court-hearing/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has ordered Biden</a> to answer questions about his finances and art sales with a trial expected next month if a settlement had not been reached.
The settlement revealed on Thursday also includes the stipulation that Roberts withdraws her counterclaim for a name change of the child.

Biden, who has <a href="https://people.com/all-about-hunter-biden-kids-7551103" target="_blank" rel="noopener">four other children</a>, pushed back on the push for a surname change, with his lawyer insisting that the &#8220;notoriety&#8221; would deprive the child of a <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/06/03/hunter-biden-paternity-case-family-name-child-support/70170724007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;peaceful existence.&#8221;</a>

Hunter Biden Agrees To Give Daughter Some Of His Paintings In Paternity Settlement

U.S.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/arkansas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arkansas</a> Attorney General Tim Griffin vowed to appeal a federal judge&#8217;s ruling<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-strikes-down-arkansas-law-banning-sex-change-procedures-for-minors-as-unconstitutional" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> on Tuesday</a> that said a ban on sex-change procedures for minors in the state was unconstitutional. 
Griffin, a former Republican congressman and lieutenant governor, said he was “disappointed” by the ruling from U.S. District Judge Jay Moody, which permanently blocked a law that would have forbidden doctors from providing hormones, puberty blockers, and sex-change surgeries for minors. 
“I am disappointed in the decision that prevents our state from protecting our children against dangerous medical experimentation under the moniker of ‘gender transition.’ Unfortunately, Judge Moody misses what is widely understood across the United States and in the United Kingdom and European countries: There is no scientific evidence that any child will benefit from these procedures, while the consequences are harmful and often permanent. I will continue fighting as long as it takes to stop providers from sterilizing children,” Griffin said in a statement. 
He said Arkansas would appeal the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eight Circuit. The case will likely be randomly assigned to a panel of three judges on the court. Of the 11 Article III judges, ten were <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Court_of_Appeals_for_the_Eighth_Circuit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appointed</a> by Republican presidents, and one was appointed by former President Barack Obama (D). 
Moody, an Obama appointee, said that the law would harm children&#8217;s mental health. 
“Rather than protecting children or safeguarding medical ethics, the evidence showed that the prohibited medical care improves the mental health and well-being of patients and that, by prohibiting it, the state undermined the interests it claims to be advancing,” he wrote. 
Moody’s analysis stands in sharp contrast to many medical journals that warn of the dangers of such treatments and provide little evidence of benefits to minors, as highlighted in a recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-witness-unable-to-name-one-study-that-shows-benefits-of-sex-change-treatments-for-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hearing</a> in the House Subcommittee on Health.

The surgeries banned by the law include double mastectomies on girls who identify as boys and other irreversible genital procedures.

Additionally, President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice has moved to sue Tennessee over its law aimed at shielding children from life-altering procedures.

A federal judge <a href="https://apnews.com/article/politics-arkansas-gender-lgbtq-legislation-us-news-2a0d032f4e4f3195c180d879239e6521">struck down</a> Arkansas’ ban on sex-change surgeries and treatments for minors as unconstitutional on Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Jay Moody issued the ruling, permanently blocking the law — which would have forbidden doctors from providing hormones, puberty blockers, and sex-change surgeries for minors — after temporarily blocking it in 2021. 
“Rather than protecting children or safeguarding medical ethics, the evidence showed that the prohibited medical care improves the mental health and well-being of patients and that, by prohibiting it, the state undermined the interests it claims to be advancing,” the Obama-appointed judge <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ared.128159/gov.uscourts.ared.128159.283.0_1.pdf">wrote</a> in his opinion. 
Moody’s scientific claim stands in sharp contrast to many medical journals that warn of the dangers of such treatments and provide little evidence of benefits to minors, as was highlighted in a recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-witness-unable-to-name-one-study-that-shows-benefits-of-sex-change-treatments-for-minors">hearing</a> in the House Subcommittee on Health.
Moody argued that the law violated the due process and equal protection rights of trans-identifying minors. He relied on heavily substantive due process, a theory that argues that the Due Process clause protects rights found nowhere in the U.S. Constitution. 
The judge also argued the 2021 law violated the First Amendment rights of doctors by banning them from referring patients to other providers. He hinged on the fact Arkansas used the word “refer” rather than “prescribing or administering” as evidence the law was viewpoint discrimination, making it unconstitutional.
The first-in-the-nation ruling may set a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/20/us/arkansas-transgender-care-ban.html">precedent</a> for 19 other state laws seeking to protect children from sex-denying treatments that are in litigation. While other judges have temporarily blocked similar laws, as in Indiana and Alabama, this is the first such law to be struck down as unconstitutional.
Dylan Brandt, 17, who successfully sued the state in the case, reacted to the decision in a statement released by the ACLU.  “I’m so grateful the judge heard my experience of how this health care has changed my life for the better and saw the dangerous impact this law could have on my life and that of countless other transgender people,” he said.
The Arkansas statute was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gov-asa-hutchinson-appeals-to-buckley-reagan-to-defend-conservative-veto-of-bill-banning-puberty-blockers-for-children">enacted</a> by the Arkansas legislature in 2021 over the veto of then-Governor Asa Hutchinson, who is now running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Hutchinson said the law was “extreme” because it affected those already receiving sex-change treatments. The law was the first in the United States to ban the controversial treatments.
Hutchinson’s successor, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/huckabee-sanders-transgender-malpractice-lgbtq-arkansas-41b7cd39b167b3bf2f3796d8be37ecf6">signed</a> legislation to effectively restore the 2021 law by creating an avenue for individuals who received “gender affirming care” to pursue civil litigation against medical providers who perform sex change procedures on minors. According to legal experts, the 2023 law, which takes effect this summer, effectively stops those treatments by making it impossible for medical providers to get malpractice insurance.

State attorneys general and lawmakers across the U.S. have responded to the disturbing revelations from Daily Wire host Matt Walsh’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/matt-walsh-undercover-investigation-catches-trans-health-care-providers-falsifying-patient-info-to-fast-track-sex-change-surgeries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">undercover investigation</a> into trans health providers. 
One attorney general said he stands “ready to ensure the law is followed,” while a representative who chairs the House Healthcare and Financial Services Committee called the findings “utterly disgusting.”
Walsh revealed Wednesday in a <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1666496308150951954?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1666496308150951954%7Ctwgr%5Eb4f8d6745e2ca72979b7d0628983f55c54e4c004%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fmatt-walsh-undercover-investigation-catches-trans-health-care-providers-falsifying-patient-info-to-fast-track-sex-change-surgeries">Twitter thread</a> that two of the largest transgender health care providers in the country, Plume and Folx, appear to be rubber-stamping approvals for life-altering sex-change operations so insurance companies will cover the medical expenses. Walsh’s producer Gregg Re was approved for an orchiectomy — a procedure to remove testicles — after just a 22-minute virtual appointment with Plume.
The two health care providers assist patients in nearly every state, with Plume operating in 41 states and Folx holding a presence in 47 states. Walsh asked if medical insurance companies were aware that the transgender medical providers were sending letters of recommendation “based on obviously false information.” The Daily Wire reached out to attorneys general and lawmakers across the country to inform them of the troubling practices uncovered by Walsh and his team and give them an opportunity to provide comments on how their offices will address the issue. 
“Medical insurance fraud in any form is a very serious crime. But even more troubling are reports of physicians committing such illegal acts in blatant disregard for the law and the long-term health of many vulnerable patients,” Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes told The Daily Wire. “In Utah, we prioritize investigating and prosecuting these types of unethical and fraudulent cases.”
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti responded to Walsh’s investigation, saying his office wants to know if “any health care providers are cutting corners.”
&#8220;There is no political exception to health care fraud. If any health care providers are cutting corners at the expense of patients and state funds, whether it&#8217;s in pursuit of profit or ideology, we want to know about it,&#8221; Skrmetti said in a statement. 
Tim Griffin, the attorney general of Arkansas said, “Telehealth providers operating in Arkansas must, of course, follow our laws, and I stand ready to ensure the law is followed.”
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1685202016677000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3BHv9qMQC3OwHMBCkGZXpF">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Plume and Folx both operate in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Utah. 
State- and federal-level lawmakers also responded to Walsh’s investigation. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) told The Daily Wire, “It is incomprehensible that some health care providers are potentially breaking the law to mislead vulnerable patients and fast-track irreversible procedures. This isn’t health care — it’s forcing an ideological agenda.”
House Healthcare and Financial Services Committee Chair Lisa McClain (R-MI) said, “Only in a country that’s lost its soul can major sex-change surgeries be expedited like buying a fast-pass at a theme park. This is utterly disgusting, and we cannot continue down this path of insanity. It’s time America wakes up to reality and casts away progressive ideology that is literally putting people’s lives at risk.”
Tennessee state Sen. Jack Johnson (R) and House Majority Leader William Lamberth (R), who both <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tennessee-bill-to-ban-sex-change-procedures-on-minors-advances-to-governors-desk">led the charge</a> to pass a law banning sex-change procedures on minors in Tennessee, said they were disgusted by what Walsh found. 
“These tactics make a mockery of the health care profession at the expense of vulnerable patients who are in serious need of mental health treatment,” Lamberth said in a statement to The Daily Wire. “If any provider is making deceptive claims for the purpose of defrauding an insurance company, that should be investigated.”
“Another disgusting attempt to label the mutilation of children as ‘healthcare.’ I appreciate [Matt Walsh] for exposing this deranged behavior. This is a real battle, and it is a battle we will win,” Johnson tweeted. 
Oregon Republican state Rep. Ed Diehl, who sits on the Oregon House Behavioral Health and Health Care Committee, warned of what the implications of Walsh’s investigation mean for his state if it passes a radical abortion and transgender health care <a href="https://oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2023/05/22/heres-what-oregons-controversial-abortion-gender-affirming-care-bill-would-do/">bill</a>. 
“Under Oregon&#8217;s House Bill 2002B, doctors following these same practices, ignoring gatekeeping and quickly affirming life altering meds and surgeries, would be protected. The bill mandates that doctors can&#8217;t lose their malpractice insurance or medical license for performing ‘gender-affirming care.’ And, these surgeries are paid for by your tax dollars and insurance premiums,” Diehl <a href="https://twitter.com/Real_EdDiehl/status/1666621168034660353">tweeted</a>. “Our standards of care are not rigorous, and we are harming children and young adults.”

A pregnant woman shot a man who attacked her family during a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/memorial-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Memorial Day</a> visit to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/arkansas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arkansas</a>, according to a police report. 
The incident <a href="https://www.kark.com/crime/family-visiting-from-out-of-state-speaks-out-in-river-market-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">occurred</a> in a parking garage in Little Rock during a robbery attempt, police said. The woman, who was with her husband and two children, told police that her husband was tackled and punched by a man as he was loading something on top of their van. She said that the man then went into the car and struck her, which is when she pulled out a gun and shot him. 
The man accused of attacking and attempting to rob the family was <a href="https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jun/01/robbery-attempt-cited-in-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> as 37-year-old Markevious King. The police were called and King was then transported to a nearby hospital.
The husband, who said his family was from Memphis, <a href="https://www.kark.com/crime/family-visiting-from-out-of-state-speaks-out-in-river-market-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told KARK</a> that they had come to Little Rock to go to the zoo and a waterpark to celebrate his daughter’s birthday. 
“Ah, just a fractured rib, and my wife has a couple of knots on her forehead where he apparently punched her,” the husband said, describing the family&#8217;s injuries. 
“A lot of things could’ve happened and we never know what he was really planning or anything. if he was trying to kidnap our girls or just trying to steal the car or what,” he added. 
He added that the family was used to violent events because they lived around Memphis. 
“We live in Memphis and this kind of happens to people here all the time so I mean it’s not something we are going to let shine down or shadow down on our lives because we do like to travel,” he said.

Pregnant women have used guns in self-defense in the past, including one <a href="https://www.cbs19news.com/story/41289877/florida-woman-8-months-pregnant-kills-home-intruder-with-ar-15-sheriff-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high-profile incident </a>near Tampa, Florida, in 2019 when a woman, eight months pregnant, shot an armed home intruder with an AR-15, according to officials. 
“They came in heavily hooded and masked,” Jeremy King told Bay News 9 at the time. “As soon as they had got the back door opened, they had a pistol on me and was grabbing my 11-year-old daughter.”
The sheriff’s office said that the rifle was legally owned and fired once, killing the intruder, during the incident. 
&#8220;Them guys came in with two normal pistols and my AR stopped it,” King added. “[My wife] evened the playing field and kept them from killing me.&#8221;

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> falsely stated he has four granddaughters on Friday, leaving off his fifth, 4-year-old Navy Joan Roberts, the illegitimate daughter of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>.
The president has repeatedly failed and refused to recognize Navy Joan as part of the Biden family, despite a court-ordered paternity test proving Hunter to be the child’s father in 2019. The latest lapse happened during comments the president made while hosting the 2023 Louisiana State University women’s national championship basketball team at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House</a>.
“The way in which women’s sports has come along is just incredible. And it’s not just in sports, it’s across the board in every single thing,” Biden said. “It’s really neat to see since I’ve got four granddaughters.”

Biden did not name his grandchildren on this occasion, but he has in the past left Navy Joan out of the Biden family lineup. During a “take your child to work day” event at the White House in April, Biden claimed and named six grandchildren, leaving off Navy Joan.
“The best part of it all, I have six grandchildren, and I’m crazy about them. I speak to them every single day,” Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-falsely-claims-he-has-six-grandchildren-leaves-off-hunters-arkansas-daughter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Not a joke,” he added before going on to name six, never mentioning his 4-year-old grandchild living in Arkansas.
The erasure of Navy Joan extends through the White House, which has also refused to acknowledge the existence of the 4-year-old. During a press briefing earlier this month, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/karine-jean-pierre-stonewalls-questions-on-presidents-unacknowledged-arkansas-grandchild" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refused</a> to answer questions about the president’s failure to acknowledge his seventh grandchild.
“I wanted to ask about the trial going on in Arkansas with Hunter Biden and the child support. Are the president and first lady monitoring that? And how come they haven’t acknowledged the seventh grandchild?” asked Daily Mail reporter Emily Goodwin at the time.

“I’m not going to speak to that from here,” answered Jean-Pierre.
Navy Joan lives in Arkansas with her mother, former stripper Lunden Roberts. Roberts is currently fighting with Hunter in court over child support payments that the Biden scion is trying to get reduced. Hunter is currently paying Roberts $20,000-a-month in child support, court documents show.
Roberts has <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/19/hunter-biden-accused-of-playing-games-in-child-support-case/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> Hunter of “playing games” in the court case by refusing to turn over documents detailing his financial situation while seeking to have his child support payments reduced.
“Mr. Biden does not want to disclose his income and assets, says that he is somewhat financially destitute, while he lives on a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, has Secret Service protection, and enjoys his time abroad (which he has also lied about in discovery),” Roberts’ attorney Clinton Lancaster wrote in court papers last week.

Joe Biden Falsely Claims To Have Four Granddaughters, Ignoring Hunter’s Illegitimate Child

Washington D.C.

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> really should not be throwing around the word &#8220;deadbeat&#8221; the same week that his son Hunter is in Arkansas court trying to lower child support payments for his lovechild whom he had with a stripper. Biden the senior has yet to recognize that the little girl even exists.
Nonetheless, Biden has never really been one known for self-awareness. Twice this week, while discussing America&#8217;s looming debt default, the president has said that America will pay its bill because the U.S. is &#8220;not a deadbeat nation.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It seems that is actually a White House talking point, not just an errant thought from the elderly fool because White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also used that same exact phrase on Wednesday:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Those comments came just days after the president&#8217;s latchkey son, Hunter, made his appearance in court, arguing that he is too poor to pay the court-ordered child support to his baby mama, Linden Roberts. He is a struggling artist after all.
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/karine-jean-pierre-stonewalls-questions-on-presidents-unacknowledged-arkansas-grandchild" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, Hunter&#8217;s daughter lives with her mother in Arkansas. Roberts is currently battling with the president’s son in court over $20,000 monthly paternity payments, which Hunter is seeking to have decreased.
Roberts’ legal team accused Hunter in court on Monday of failing to supply necessary financial records to get that payment lowered, The Daily Wire noted. Roberts’ attorneys have argued that Hunter should produce his records — including assets such as cars and houses and the amount of money he has made selling amateur artwork — to prove that his paternity payments should be decreased.
<a class="c-link" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-7429">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
Independence County Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer scolded Hunter in the courtroom for providing overly redacted records, saying their ability to keep certain information out of the public eye was “being somewhat abused.&#8221;
Likewise, Roberts is also attempting to get her daughter&#8217;s last name legally changed to “Biden.” The Biden family name is “now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful,” Roberts’ attorneys wrote in a court filing in December.
But it seems that Hunter and his infamous father want nothing to do with her.
When the president&#8217;s press secretary was asked about the paternity case and the Biden family&#8217;s complete non-acknowledgment of the four-year-old, Jean-Pierre was curt and stopped the conversation.
“I wanted to ask about the trial going on in Arkansas with Hunter Biden and the child support. Are the president and first lady monitoring that? And how come they haven’t acknowledged the seventh grandchild?” asked Emily Goodwin, U.S. politics reporter for the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

Just last week, the president bragged that he had six grandchildren whom he is &#8220;crazy about.&#8221; He doesn&#8217;t have half a dozen, but seven grandkids. The youngest of the brood is treated like dirt, it appears to anybody with a conscience.
Perhaps no surprise, the lapdog media has been generally absent on this entire story. Last Saturday, the White House Press Association awarded a Washington Post reporter with a reward for how &#8220;he captured the spirit of Joe Biden, particularly with stories about the President’s brother and how his Catholic faith influenced his strategic vision of the office.&#8221;
Fox News’ Rachel Campos-Duffy, a mother of eight, put it best with her response to that unbelievable award: &#8220;Joe Biden’s Catholic faith?!!?? What a joke #WHCD is!

The president bragged about his grandchildren last week during a “take your child to work day” event at the White House. Biden listed six grandchildren, leaving off Navy.

“The best part of it all, I have six grandchildren, and I’m crazy about them. I speak to them every single day,” Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-falsely-claims-he-has-six-grandchildren-leaves-off-hunters-arkansas-daughter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Not a joke,” he added.
Hunter appeared in an Arkansas courtroom on Monday after Roberts’ legal team accused him of refusing to comply with a court order to produce fulsome financial records. Roberts’ attorneys have argued that Hunter should produce his records — including assets such as cars and houses and the amount of money he has made selling amateur artwork — to prove that his paternity payments should be decreased.
Independence County Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer scolded Hunter in the courtroom for providing overly redacted records, saying their ability to keep certain information out of the public eye was “being somewhat abused,” according to CNN.
In addition to the legal battle over paternity payments, Roberts is also attempting to get Navy’s last name, currently the same as her mother’s, legally changed to “Biden.” The Biden family name is “now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful,” Roberts’ attorneys wrote in a court filing in December.
Roberts’ attorneys said that changing Navy’s last name to her father’s would make her “known to the world” as a “member of the prestigious Biden family,” according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/02/us/hunter-biden-child-arkansas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>.
Hunter’s legal team is fighting Roberts’ request. Hunter’s attorneys wrote in a response that Roberts had not shown that changing Navy’s name was in her best interest.
“The child should have the opportunity for input at a time when the disparagement of the Biden name is not at its height,” Hunter’s attorneys wrote. “The notoriety would no doubt rob this child of peaceful existence.”
