A leading pro-LGBT group this week published a report on “anti-LGBTQ incidents” in the United States. It’s incredibly shocking — but not in the way you’d think.

GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) reported more than 932 hate incidents across the country over the year that ended May 1. The group also claims that “anti-trans hate hit a record high” and that “52% of all incidents were targeting transgender and gender nonconforming people.”

Here’s the kicker: the biggest category of incidents GLAAD recorded was “protests.” Yeah, you read that right.

It’s not clear which specific protests GLAAD is referring to.

Perhaps it’s parents fighting for their children. Just last month, Colorado parents showed up at the state capital to rally against a radical bill that declared that parents in custody battles who misgender or “deadname” their child were guilty of “coercive control” and could lose their child.

Or maybe it’s female athletes walking off the field and refusing to compete against trans-identifying male competitors.

Perhaps it’s one of the countless other events organized by the countless concerned Americans who have shown up at school board meetings, state legislatures, and even the Supreme Court to speak out against LGBT agendas.

Meanwhile, of course, there’s a long list of actually violent acts the Left does not consider hate. How about the disturbed trans-identifying woman who shot up The Covenant School in Nashville in 2023, killing six people, including three nine-year-olds? Or the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 that destroyed over $1 billion of property? Or maybe the firebombing of pro-life pregnancy centers around the time Roe v. Wade was overturned?

Still waiting on the report that includes those!

Another eye-catching category in GLAAD’s report was “propaganda drops,” with more than 60 incidents, although it is not exactly clear what a “propaganda drop” is. Perhaps college students handing out Christian pamphlets to an LGBT studies class?

GLAAD claimed trans-identifying and “gender nonconforming” people were the target of over half of all the anti-LGBTQ incidents, but this includes 209 “protests” and 33 “propaganda drops.”

“Compared to last year’s data, this represents a 14% increase in incidents targeting transgender and gender nonconforming people,” GLAAD said.

The other categories included about 280 harassment incidents, 140 vandalism incidents, 85 assaults, 20 bomb threats, and 15 arson attempts.

So bomb threats, arson, and violent assaults are in the same “hate” category as legal, peaceful protests exercising First Amendment rights. Got it!

Sarah Moore, who runs GLAAD’s tracker, said the tracker includes “every expression of hate” regardless of whether it is a crime because “LGBTQ people are going to experience these things as acts of hate, regardless of if they’re prosecuted as that.”

GLAAD pointed the finger at the Trump administration, saying its executive orders “specifically demean and discriminate” against trans-identifying people.

Shortly after taking office, President Donald Trump issued multiple executive orders that banned federal funds for schools that allow males in girls’ sports and bathrooms, as well as for hospitals that perform transgender surgeries on children.

One order also defined sex as male and female — remember when this was common sense? Now it’s “hateful.”

“Hope shines brightest in the darkest moments,” said GLAAD’s president and CEO, Sarah Kate Ellis, in a letter published with the report. “As we honor the queer and trans leaders of decades past and present, and resolve to overcome the challenges of today, we create a new legacy of joy as resistance.”

By the way, this is not even the first year GLAAD has counted protests and rallies as “hate” incidents.

GLAAD launched its “ALERT Desk” database to track anti-LGBTQ extremism back in June 2022. Of the 2,626 incidents GLAAD says have occurred in the three years since the database was launched, 872 of them are protests or rallies.

Can’t wait to see next year’s report, which will probably include every time someone looked sideways at a drag queen!

President Donald Trump ordered on Wednesday an investigation into whether aides improperly used autopen for executive actions in an effort to conceal former President Joe Biden’s health issues while in office.

In a memo, Trump tasked the Counsel to the President with determining if “certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.” Trump noted the U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and other relevant agency heads would provide consultation as needed.

“Given clear indications that President Biden lacked the capacity to exercise his Presidential authority, if his advisors secretly used the mechanical signature pen to conceal this incapacity, while taking radical executive actions all in his name, that would constitute an unconstitutional wielding of the power of the Presidency, a circumstance that would have implications for the legality and validity of numerous executive actions undertaken in Biden’s name,” Trump said.

A president is allowed to use a machine to sign off on various documents. However, the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project examined records with Biden’s signature over the course of his presidency and found many important documents featuring autopen signatures, including his 11th-hour pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, January 6 Committee members, and certain Biden family members.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump went as far as to insist Biden’s pardons using autopen were “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT.” He also said members of the “Unselect Committee” should “fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level.”

Other presidential signatures on documents, such as the pardon for Hunter Biden and the president’s announcement that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race after a fumbling debate performance against Trump, appear to have been done by hand, the Oversight Project determined.

In a report from NBC News, a former Biden White House official pushed back on the notion that the 46th president did not dictate his executive actions.

“Any accusation that President Biden was not making decisions is false. President Biden made the decisions about the pardons and the executive orders he issued, and the legislation he signed into law,” this unnamed individual said.

But Republicans in Congress remain skeptical, looking into any efforts to cover up Biden’s condition and the potential unauthorized use of autopen. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has demanded testimony from various former White House aides and, on Wednesday night, announced he would be subpoenaing Biden’s doctor.

The Daily Wire reported Daniel Turner, founder of Power The Future, testified to Congress on Wednesday that White House staff may have used an autopen of Biden’s signature in a “deceit of the American people” in which orders were signed with “no evidence of Joe Biden in first person, in his voice as president talking about them.”

A new book from CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” as well as the recent disclosure that Biden is fighting an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer and the audio of former special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with him fueled scrutiny.

While at a public event in Delaware last week, former President Biden issued a defiant response when confronted about the controversy over his mental and physical health while in office. “You can see that I’m mentally incompetent and I can’t walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them,” he said, apparently referencing Tapper and Thompson.
