“A federal grand jury in Baltimore indicted Jamie Lee Henry and his wife, Anna Gabrielian, on charges of conspiracy and wrongful disclosure of individually identifiable health information. According to prosecutors, the couple met last month with an undercover FBI agent posing as a Russian diplomat and offered medical information from Fort Bragg, the home of the military’s elite Delta Force.
Gabrielian, an anesthesiologist at Johns Hopkins University, told the undercover agent during an Aug. 17 meeting that “she was motivated by patriotism toward Russia to provide any assistance she could to Russia, even if it meant being fired or going to jail,” according to the indictment. Gabrielian gave the undercover agent medical information on a spouse of someone who works in the Office of Naval Intelligence, and “highlighted” a medical issue that “Russia could exploit.”
Henry, a doctor at Fort Bragg, gave the undercover agent information on five patients at the military facility, according to the indictment, first reported by the Baltimore Banner.
Henry has been praised as a pioneer of the transgender movement after coming out as transgender in an interview with BuzzFeed News in 2015. Henry claimed to be the first known active-duty Army officer to come out as transgender, and the first to legally change their name while in service.
Henry told BuzzFeed his experience transitioning helped him in the medical field.
“I find my trans experience has allowed me to relate to people, because all of us suffer, and I could relate to people’s suffering. I’m able to comfort people that feel isolated and lost and alone and broken,” Henry said.
Henry lamented in another interview that year about the lack of privacy afforded transgender people receiving medical care.
“I felt very vulnerable while being treated as a patient in the same hospital I worked as a physician. What made it worse was that, as a soldier, my medical records were not private, and when the question of mental illness came up, I felt stark naked,” Henry told Bright Young Things in 2015.”

This is exactly why in the past the military denied entrance to the mentally ill. They’re too easy to exploit.

…[C]hildren who are infected with lice should be allowed to return to school, the AAP says, even if they are not lice-free yet.
The AAP even suggests that zero-tolerance policies on lice infections “may violate a child’s or adolescent’s civil liberties.” The AAP says it discourages such policies and asks schools to address their legal counsels about them.
My son would routinely get sand in his hair in pre-school, which would routinely get called “lice eggs” by one of his teachers. I spent a bit of time shampooing his hair with “Nix.” He appears to be a happy, healthy, well-adjusted individual today.
Head lice do not cause disease and are spread chiefly by contact with the hair of an infested individual.
In the United States, infestation with head lice is most common among pre-school children attending child care, elementary schoolchildren, and the household members of infested children.
Although reliable data on how many people in the United States get head lice each year are not available, an estimated 6 million to 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States among children 3 to 11 years of age.”

“In Utah, Senator Mike Lee is running against the #NeverTrump candidate Evan McMullin, and the race is a little closer than most Republicans would like.
Senator Mitt Romney, who is not up for reelection this year, is doing next to nothing to help Lee’s campaign. Some GOP senators are getting annoyed by his lack of support.
Mollie Hemingway writes at The Federalist:
GOP Senators Baffled By Mitt Romney’s Ploy To Oust Mike Lee — And Maybe Thwart A Majority
Republican senators are growing concerned by colleague Mitt Romney’s refusal to help fellow Utah Republican Mike Lee decisively win his re-election campaign — a posture that could potentially keep their party from gaining a majority in the November elections. Unlike every other Republican senator, the 2012 failed Republican presidential candidate is declining to express a preference in Republican Lee’s re-election effort against Democrat-endorsed Evan McMullin.
“I respect [Romney], and I understand that each state has its own dynamics, but I do not understand why he is remaining neutral,” said one Republican senator who asked not to be identified. “Whatever our differences, we all try to support each other around election time.””

Fienstein, Pelosi, etc all need to retire, and that includes Trump and Biden. Its time for the boomers to reire and let the millennials take over. Gen X doesn’t want the job – we enjoy being left alone. Both Biden and Trump make the occasional gaffe but still manage some coherence. Old age is not the sole criteria – my dad at 95 is more coherent than both of them – but a mandatory retirement age for politicians is not a bad idea. Fienstein should have been primaried years ago.
The idea behind being open about sexuality and gender is so federal employees and armed forces personnel would not be susceptible to blackmail. In this case, other motivations must have been at play.
You break the law, you will be arrested. Once under arrested, the US justice system is fairly tight and hard nosed. It’s not politics, it’s what happens when you get arrested in the US. Of course, any political motivation of a crime will be more harshly punished – see the environmentalist imprisoned for seven years for what was essential vandalism.
The idea of party loyalty is weird and reminds me of 1984. Romney and Cheney have different ideas for the direction of the Republican party; so be it. The Democratic party has similar dissidents, but tolerant them slightly more.
“Violence always comes from the left”??? Rather ironic since a previous post was on the violence of Jan 6th. Violence is on all sides of the political spectrum. The right likes to hit people with cars, carry guns to demonstrations and sometimes even use them, etc. This is a case of glass houses and ye without sin casting the first stone.
There’s been quite a bit of chatter on the left side of the internet about DeSantis’ hypocrisy and the irony of Florida accepting federal aid when it just wasted a million dollars on a publicity stunt. Of course, there were assorted jokes about throwing paper towels, asking who they voted for, using a sharpie on map, etc as they mocked Trump’s response to disaster and compared it to Biden.
My school board has had a similar lice policy for at least a decade. Its dumb. We inform parents if their child has lice. The parent then has the option to buy the shampoos needed, pick through with a special comb or otherwise try to delouse their child. Or they can simply send their child back to school the next day. All it takes is one selfish parent and the cycle of lice in the classroom continues. Previously the child was asked to stay home a minimum of three days and was checked to see if treatment was successful when they came back. Apparently this embarassed the middle class child and in working class families where they had to work, the parents resorted to various quick cures — shave their child’s head, wash with gasoline (a child suffered first degree burns when a parent did that with a cigarette) or spraying with pesticide. So now everyone goes to school.
Both Newsom and the Republican state governors are making the same mistake; politicizing the human body. The medical age of consent varies and is ambiguous even with one state – depending on a doctor’s opinion and the context of the situation it can be 12 or 18 or in between. By setting a specific age, the politicians are ignoring a tradition of taking context and individual cases into consideration. Newsom may think his intentions are good but it’s the wrong solution. People need to recognize trans people do exist, but people also need to recognize puberty and adolescence can be incredibly confusing for some. As much as I understand the need for early intervention in the case of trans children, I also understand that haste is not always the best policy. In 26 years, I can only think of one case where I sure that the child was trans, the rest of the cases were children on the spectrum or those who suffered childhood sexual abuse. And when you prescribe puberty blockers and surgery for the latter, you might be creating more problems than you solve. Doctors, psychologists, and the person involved all need a voice – the politicians no matter their viewpoint does not.
Term limits and age limits would do wonders for our broken govt.
