WOLVES IN WHITE COATS — HHS EXPOSES CHILD SEX CHANGES FOR PROFIT...

Vice President JD Vance on the new HHS Wolves in White Coats report: hospitals subjected children to "horrific, experimental treatments in service of radical gender ideologies" — and now we know why. Profit. Convincing a vulnerable child to reject their sex creates a patient for life, worth tens of thousands in extra revenue per child. Worse: the report alleges hospitals and providers may have been defrauding Medicaid and private insurers with misleading or fraudulent billing codes to get the procedures covered. Vance: every American, every parent, should read it.

And it's not just a report — it's a referral. Vance and RFK Jr. sent 225 hospitals and health systems to the DOJ and HHS Inspector General for potential federal law violations, including fraud and conspiracy, after they "preyed on vulnerable children" with pediatric gender programs when what those kids needed was compassion and counseling. "If someone broke the law, we are going to hold them accountable." This is what APP has said for years — the Gender Industrial Complex is a business model, and same week the Trump administration cut off Medicaid funding for these procedures. Watch.

HAGEMAN BILL TAXES COLLEGES THAT SIDELINE FEMALE ATHLETES FOR MEN...

Read at U.S. House →

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced a bill today hitting private colleges that let males compete in women's sports with an excise tax equal to 10% of their entire intercollegiate athletics budget — and the Secretary of Education writes rules so schools can't shift the cost onto tuition. Hageman: "Every man who takes the field against a woman is stealing a roster spot, scholarship, and potential championship from a young woman who earned it."

Terry Schilling, backing the bill: "Only on a college campus could something as ridiculous as transgender ideology flourish. Radical gender ideology must be eliminated root and branch, and there's no better place to start than our poisoned Ivies. College administrators can continue to play dumb when it comes to biological sex or protecting women on campus, but it is going to cost them." Despite Trump's executive order and NCAA policy changes, men keep surfacing on women's teams. Make it cost them. Hageman.house.gov →


THE WNBA CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE W STANDS FOR...

Paula Scanlan: "if you ever feel useless just know that the leaders over at the WNBA have sat in multiple meetings now trying to figure out what the W of WNBA stands for and they haven't come to a conclusion yet." A quarter-million views and counting. The league that lectures America about inclusion can't say the word women. Same week a WNBA star said she'd gladly share a locker room with a man. Paula lived this fight at Penn — that's why it lands.

SPLC NAMED IN SUPERSEDING INDICTMENT — THE FAKE HATE RACKET UNRAVELS...

DOJ unsealed a superseding indictment naming Heidi Beirich — former director of the SPLC's Intelligence Project, the unit that brands Christian pro-family groups "hate groups." Charges: wire fraud conspiracy, false statements to a bank, concealment money laundering. Prosecutors say over $4 million in donor money was secretly funneled to informants inside the very extremist groups SPLC claimed to fight — including a KKK imperial wizard — with some funds buying Klan robes and cross-burning materials. Beirich allegedly shared bank accounts with a source she was romantically involved with; $140,000 in donor money flowed through them. Terry called this months ago on The Terry Schilling Show — Ben Garza laid out the SPLC "idea laundering" racket. The Hill covers it now. The Hill →


$44K PER PUPIL AND SENIORS CAN'T WRITE A SENTENCE...

Wild. A high-school English teacher breaks down crying on camera: "I have SENIORS that cannot read. I have SENIORS that cannot write." Not a sentence. Terry Schilling: New York spends upwards of $44,000 per pupil — and these are the outcomes. Illiteracy. "It's not the money. It's not lack of breakfast. It's not lack of after school programs. It's the system." Watch the video, then remember it every time they ask for more.

TRUMP ADMIN CUTS OFF MEDICAID FUNDING FOR CHILD SEX CHANGES...

Read at thefederalist.com →

The Trump administration ended Medicaid and CHIP funding for experimental sex-change procedures on minors. No more forcing taxpayers to subsidize the sterilization and mutilation of children. Terry Schilling: "We can't allow our kids to be sterilized and mutilated just so the Gender Industrial Complex can make a pretty penny. True love is stepping into our children's lives and leading them to the truth: they are perfect just the way God created them."

Read at cnbc.com →

Mortgage rates climbed to 6.7 percent before finally leveling off, with Wall Street calling the slowdown in demand a win. Families trying to buy a home are getting squeezed while the credentialed class shrugs.

EMPTY NYC DAYCARE BILLED MEDICAID $5.8M — THEN DONATED TO HOCHUL...

Nick Shirley strikes again. The allegedly fraudulent NYC adult daycare he exposed — mostly vacant, barren — just got caught donating to Gov. Kathy Hochul, per the New York Post. Same year it billed Medicaid $5.8 million; Shirley says Livingwell pulled $8.6 million in 2025. When he showed up with a camera, staff literally ran away. "Can you answer these questions?" "No." Your tax dollars, their campaign checks. Watch.

CCP INTEL OFFICIAL BUYS BUILDING OVERLOOKING THE WHITE HOUSE...

How is this remotely OK? Daily Caller News Foundation scoop: a senior Chinese Communist Party intelligence official is the new owner of the 100-year-old Securities Building on 15th Street — roughly 650 feet from the White House grounds. Philip Qiu's family foundation closed the $8.4 million purchase on July 21. Per university records and DCNF translations of Chinese government announcements, Qiu has held multiple positions in China's intelligence and state security arms. A CCP spy-service veteran with a sightline on the White House complex — on the record, in the filings.

TERRY ON FOX & FRIENDS, PAULA ON NEWSMAX...

Terry Schilling hit Fox & Friends while Paula appeared on Newsmax hammering the Medicaid defund of child sex changes. APP voices are cutting through — because voters want straight talk on protecting kids, not more radical experiments.

Join the Fight

The Democratic Party is more radical than ever on sex changes for kids, while families get crushed by 6.7% mortgage rates and Big Tech's grip on children. Our February Cygnal poll proves the opening: 81% support porn age verification with 66% strongly in favor, 83% back app-store rules, and 77% want Home Savings Accounts. These are the kitchen-table fights that protect innocence and build real family security.
