You shouldn’t need a PowerPoint presentation to explain why getting a cat is a great idea, but one little girl wasn’t taking any chances. She really, really wanted her parents to adopt a kitty, and she was willing to go to great lengths to convince them! So, she put together a very professional and educational slideshow with all the relevent facts. Her arguments were pretty solid! For example, the girl explained that she wasn’t the only one in the family who would benefit from getting a kitty. All her siblings wanted one, too! Of course, she did add the disclaimer that “their opinions are less important.” She also noted that pets can help relieve stress, which was a fairly persuasive point. Equally convincing was her claim that “It would be so cute please.” X Throughout the PowerPoint, the little girl made several promises to take full responsibility for the cat’s health and wellbeing. She assured her parents that she had done her homework on animal care, and she understood what she was signing up for. X Additionally, she reminded her parents that they still technically owed her one. “Please, seriously you promised me a hamster five years ago but that never happened just let me have this,” the child wrote. X Dad Christopher Doyle thought that his daughter’s PowerPoint on adopting a cat was pretty clever. In fact, he thought that the little girl’s determination was so cute, he just had to post her presentation on social media. Would this PowerPoint be enough to earn the girl a cat? X In case you’re wondering, it worked! Dad shared in a later post that the family was filling out adoption paperwork in order to bring home a kitty. Of course, this was bound to happen. After all, who could refuse such a well-researched PowerPoint? X The family ended up adopting a rescue kitty, whom the kids named Tokyo. According to another social media update from Christopher Doyle, his daughter and her siblings are “in love” with the sweet animal. After seeing a picture of this adorable cat, we can see why! X It just goes to show you that a little hard work and dedication goes a long way. You can find the source of this story’s featured images here.

A massive, yearslong study shows the overwhelming majority of young people who identify as transgender will grow out of the diagnosis within five years. A similar supermajority of trans-identifying people suffered from at least one other psychological condition, found researchers, who tracked all children and young adults diagnosed with gender dysphoria over a nine-year period. The Central Institute for Statutory Health Insurance in Germany reviewed all the medical billing records from the nation’s health care providers for insured people between the ages of 5 and 24 diagnosed with gender identity disorders from 2013 to 2022. Researchers then combed through the data to identify trends in the number of children and adolescents diagnosed with transgenderism, including the prevalence, demographics, and duration of those struggling with their gender identity. Two out of three young people medically diagnosed with gender dysphoria will no longer identify as a member of the opposite sex within five years. Researchers found overall that 63.6% of trans-identifying children and adolescents desisted from their clinically confirmed gender diagnosis, and “only 36.4% had a confirmed [gender identity disorder] diagnosis after five years.” Experts found the majority of all people who identified as transgender desisted during that time frame. The most likely group to change its mind is 15-to-19-year-old females, with 72.7% desisting. But a majority (50.3%) of young men who came to their transgender identity in adulthood (males aged 20-24) also desisted in five years. Similarly, nearly three quarters of young people who identify as transgender (72.4%) had at least one other psychiatric condition. Trans-identifying young people were most likely to suffer from depressive disorders—an outright majority of females (57.5%) and about half of males (49.3%), as well as “anxiety disorders (23.5%/34.0%), emotionally unstable personality disorders of the borderline type (12.1%/17.6%), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (12.7%/12.6%), and post-traumatic stress disorder (9.9%/13.6%).” “With regard to psychiatric comorbidities, our results are consistent with the literature, at least for depressive disorders,” the researchers note. The number of young people identified with gender identity disorders rose by 780%. Although they note some of this increase is due to the way the condition is coded, correcting for this still shows a nearly threefold increase in transgender diagnoses (289%). They pointed out that other studies show similar increases in the number of doctors identifying young people as transgender, ranging from 280% to an incredible 1,019%. “In almost all years, the highest prevalence of” transgender-related diagnoses “were found in the age group of 15- to 19-year-old female adolescents,” they noted. Researchers say the reason for this spike could vary from “real increase in prevalence” and “increased awareness, decreasing stigmatization” to “social contagion” or “overdiagnosis.” “Further research into the reasons for the low persistence of diagnosis and the observed increase in prevalence is required,” the researchers conclude. “In the meantime, the stability of diagnosis and the high prevalence of accompanying mental disorders should be taken into account in recommendations for starting gender reassignment therapy in adolescence.” Those results track with verifiable, expert data flooding in from around the world. A team of Dutch researchers came to nearly identical conclusions earlier this year. After reviewing the records of 2,772 adolescents aged 11-24 in the Netherlands, it found a desistance rate of 64%. Young people were nearly 10 times more likely to feel better about their birth sex than worse during that time frame, the study reported. “Gender non-contentedness, while being relatively common during early adolescence, in general decreases with age and appears to be associated with a poorer self-concept and mental health throughout development,” the researchers found. Other studies have found people who identify as transgender or nonbinary are up to six times as likely to be diagnosed with autism than the norm. Pediatric transgender facility whistleblower Jamie Reed revealed that “nearly all children who came to the Center here presented with very serious mental health problems.” She specifically identified autism, ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, OCD, and eating disorders. The combination of these studies and growing weaknesses in the transgender “standards of care,” based on low-quality studies and drawn up by transgender activists, have led many nations to reconsider the way healers deal with gender dysphoria. The current U.S. affirmation model holds that health care professionals should affirm anyone who presents as transgender and start that adult, or child, down a pathway of “gender-affirming care” that may include potentially sterilizing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormone injections, and transgender surgeries to remove healthy breasts and reproductive organs. But the groundbreaking Cass Review in the U.K. found “remarkably weak evidence” undergirds these criteria. Leaked files from the primary medical group driving gender dysphoria diagnoses, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, similarly undermined the affirmation model. Bucking the trend among their colleagues, and standing up to professional ostracization, a growing number of medical experts have spoken out against the present consensus. “Transition affirmation is not proven to be safe or effective long term,” said Dr. Andre Van Mol, representing the American College of Pediatricians, the Christian Medical and Dental Associations, and the American Academy of Medical Ethics earlier this week.  “It does not reduce suicides. It does not repair mental health issues or trauma. Minors cannot give truly informed consent. Children have developing and immature brains. Their minds change often. They are prone to risk taking, they are vulnerable to peer pressure, and they don’t grasp long term consequences.” And as such, he contended, “Refusing to provide gender transition procedures or so-called gender affirming health care is non-discriminatory and is appropriate both professionally and scientifically.” The peer-reviewed Deutsches Ärzteblatt International will publish the English text of the paper, titled “Gender identity disorders among young people in Germany: prevalence and trends, 2013–2022. An analysis of nationwide routine insurance data,” within two weeks. You can read the German original here.

During a rare Friday edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the eponymous ABC host celebrated former President Donald Trump’s birthday by announcing that he donated to Planned Parenthood in Trump’s name and recalling his top 78 nicknames for Trump, which led him to admit, “Maybe we do have Trump Derangement Syndrome.” After mocking a Donald Trump Jr. email that urged people to sign their name to a virtual birthday card, Kimmell reported, “But I did want to do something – I made a donation to Planned Parenthood in Trump's name instead to celebrate.”     Moving on to Trump’s recent meeting with Republicans, Kimmell let the insults fly: “He got a skin-crawlingly fawning reception from some of the most embarrassing ass-kissiest parasites ever to slither the Planet Earth. Look at all these spineless senators lined up to kiss the onion ring. Now, watch Ted Cruz here. ‘Is he going to say hi to me? Will he? Yes, yes,  yes, I'm included! He touched my slime! Clap, everybody, keep clapping, he sees us!’” The insult hurling was just getting started as Kimmel acknowledged, “You know, I have to admit Donald Trump has given a lot to our show. And I wanted to do something special for him because I know he watches from time to time. Over the last—it seems like I don't know—28 years since he got into politics, we've come up with a lot of nicknames for Donald Trump. And so, in honor of his birther-day, we combed through the archives to bring you our top 78 Donald Trump nicknames of all-time.”       Examples that Kimmel picked from included Nostra-Dumbass, Rip One Van Winkle, Mayor McCutTheCheese, Unhappy Gilmore, Yabba Dabba Doofus, Hair Mussolini, Off-Whitey Bulger, Butch Casserole, Dictator Tot, Yelvis, and Jabba The Pizza Hut. Kimmel wrapped up by conceding, “Maybe we do have Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Maybe? More like definitely. Here is a transcript for the June 14 show: ABC Jimmy Kimmel Live! 6/14/2024 11:42 PM ET JIMMY KIMMEL: But I did want to do something – I made a donation to Planned Parenthood in Trump's name instead to celebrate. He’s got enough stuff.  Trump was on Capitol Hill yesterday -- he got a skin-crawlingly fawning reception from some of the most embarrassing ass-kissiest parasites ever to slither the Planet Earth. Look at all these spineless senators lined up to kiss the onion ring. Now, watch Ted Cruz here. "Is he going to say hi to me? Will he? Yes, yes,  yes, I'm included! He touched my slime! Clap, everybody, keep clapping, he sees us!"  As for Trump, look at his hair, too. He’s really doing something crazy with that. Trump had a low-key birthday celebration. He reportedly spent the night at home, quietly spanking himself with a magazine. You know, I have to admit Donald Trump has given a lot to our show. And I wanted to do something special for him because I know he watches from time to time. Over the last —it seems like I don't know—28 years since he got into politics, we've come up with a lot of nicknames for Donald Trump. And so, in honor of his birther-day, we combed through the archives to bring you our top 78 Donald Trump nicknames of all-time. Are you-- can I get some music.

In 2015, the infidelity dating website “Ashley Madison” was the subject of a data breach by hackers named “The Impact Team.” The hackers threatened to release user data to the world if the website was not terminated. When the website's creators refused, the hackers kept their promise. Over 60 gigabytes of company data, including user details, was released. When this happened, Christian family YouTubers Sam and Nia Rader’s lives were turned upside down. Sam, Nia’s husband, was on the list of men who had made accounts on the site. The pair agreed to tell all in a now-streaming Netflix documentary on the website and data breach, but upon its release, they weren’t so happy with how their story was depicted. “It made me look like I traded my adulterous thoughts for YouTube, went from one vice to the next,” Sam tells Allie Beth Stuckey, noting that they had made him say a specific line. “‘The validation I was seeking outside my marriage was replaced by validation in YouTube.’ I said something along those lines in the documentary. That was a line they fed me and they had me say and I regret saying anything that they fed me,” Sam explains, adding, “Starting YouTube did not save me from adultery.” In the documentary, they also had hinted that Sam had been sleeping with Nia’s friends. “A lot of people have asked me privately, even friends and family, have asked me, ‘Which friends did he sleep with?’ and I’m like, 'He didn’t sleep with any of my friends,'” Nia says. “They kind of just made it sound like he was having all this random sex and he wasn’t.” Nia was also frustrated that they made it seem as if she immediately forgave Sam for his infidelity. “They kind of made it seem like it was ‘Ashley Madison,’ confessions, bam, she forgave him because she’s so dumb,” Nia explains. “It was years of hard work and intense counseling and long, hard conversations before I reached a point of freely forgiving him.” “I held on to it for so long, I questioned him day after day about past and current things. It was a really gruesome journey to actually having freedom from the forgiveness that I was wanting to have,” she adds. While the couple isn’t pleased with the depiction of their struggles with infidelity, Stuckey can’t help but notice Netflix did end their story on a positive note. “I was pleased that they did allow y’all to incorporate your faith and that at the end I do think that they showed that there was reconciliation and redemption.” Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Over the last few years, League of Legends developer Riot Games has periodically updated some of the older champions in the game. When champions are updated, they are given new spells that don't deviate too far from their original design, and help them keep up with some of the newer and flashier characters that now sprawl Summoner's Rift. When Skarner's update hit live servers back in March, players didn't realize the terror that he would eventually become, and Riot can't even stop him now.
