Speaking last week at the White House about the Affordable Care Act, Barack Obama said that he looks forward to Joe Biden’s “next chapter in our story of progress.” In other words, Biden will make Obamacare even worse. A glimpse of that next chapter can be seen in the Biden administration’s unfolding war on religious hospitals. Xavier Becerra, Biden’s Health and Human Services Secretary, seeks to force them to perform transgender surgeries, among other immoral procedures.
A transgender pride flag now flies above HHS, the “first federal agency to do so,” the department announced in a recent press release. Becerra used the International Transgender Day of Visibility to warn hospitals that they must provide “gender-affirming care.” In its press release, HHS said that Becerra is in the process of issuing “guidance making clear that denials of health care based on gender identity are illegal, as is restricting doctors and health care providers from providing care because of a patient’s gender identity.”
Last August, a federal court in Texas blocked the Biden administration from imposing a mandate of transgender treatment upon religious hospitals in the case of Franciscan Alliance, Inc. v. Becerra .
“The injunction issued by Judge Reed C. O’Connor in 2021 permanently prohibits Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, HHS, and anyone acting in concert with it from interpreting Obamacare’s anti-discrimination protections and issuing regulations to require providers involved in the dispute to perform or provide insurance coverage for gender-transition procedures or abortion care,” reports Bloomberg Law .
Becerra is calling on the court to lift the injunction. He has been working with transgender activists and abortion groups to make Obamacare more coercive against the religious. Catholic News Service reports that religious health care providers expect “sometime in April” that Becerra will announce a revision to Obamacare, one that forces on […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
