A study published by Brown University argues that it is possible some youtube experience gender dysphoria due to peer pressure and trends among their peer groups. They call this "rapid onset gender dysphoria." Brown has pulled down a press release about the study due to community pressure, with people saying it could undermine trans rights. But is there truth to the study? Is it possible that young people are simply trying to be trendy, or is it just that our society is more accepting of trans people and now our youth feel safe and comfortable expressing how they really feel?

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has been called the future of the Democratic Party. Cortez is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, a group that calls for an end to private profit and end to capitalism. Many people don't understand that under socialism you do not control the fruits of your labor, rather the state or collective gets to decide where your value gets put. Without private profit the individual cannot decide what they get to purchase or trade. Understanding this we can see that many people do not actually look at the values of the DSA and what they advocate, if they did many people would likely not align themselves with the group as most Americans, even on the left, are Capitalists.

CNN has been called out by Washington post and many others that their reporting on michael Cohen and Trump's knowledge of a Trump Tower meeting is in fact incorrect. Lanny Davis, lawyer for Cohen, says he should have been more clear when he made claims about Cohen in the past and many others confirm that Cohen testified in a sworn statement that he had no knowledge of Trump knowing about the meeting. So why won't CNN correct? Why would they keep pushing this story even after several sources refute their claims? Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

News outlets are reporting that Fox news reporters have quit over "Trump" support and the direction of the network. However upon some digging you can easily see this is a lie. One reporter quit because he felt the network was doing too much opinion and there wasn't enough funding for real journalism and another simply quit to spend time with his family. The mainstream news reporting this have been caught lying but the question is why are they lying? Probably because they want partisan fuel, they want to smear Fox news and Trump as not being real news. Unfortunately for them, Fox News is the number one cable network right now.

The Culture War has no rules, it is simply a no holds barred fight over the power of various tribes. People lose their jobs over political opinions and now people are losing jobs and opportunity over the actions of their parents and grandparents. This insanity can only lead to total collapse. How do you mend the divide when there are no rules to abide by? When the left can deride white people but claim it's not racism how can you oppose racism? There are no rules only attempts to empowering the tribe and that means the war cannot be won. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

CNN ratings are down 24% over last year and Fox News ratings are up 12%. What did CNN do that is causing them to slowly disappear and why is Fox doing so well? Not only is Fox up but it is the #1 cable channel in prime time. While many people might cheer for an end to "fake news" I assure this is actually not a good thing. As news dies off partisan websites and outlets grow causing the American divide to get worse and worse. I can't blame people for hating CNN, they made their bed.

What is the truth about white farmers in South Africa? Donald Trump instructed Pompeo to look into the issue after seeing a story on Fox news. Immediately the far left said this was just a conspiracy theory but is that true? What is actually going on in South Africa? Is it just more political posturing from either side or is there something really happening here? Is land expropriation actually happening and if it is, is it really about race?

Journalists are calling out Ocasio-Cortez for a major campaign screw up. At two events Cortez BANNED the press outright from attending, a move not even Donald Trump has been bold enough to pull off. The left routinely calls out Trump for his bad rhetoric on the press, Trump has even banned SOME press form his events, but not all. Its bad enough that Trump has banned some journalists but for Cortez to ban the press outright is a step far beyond Trump. So do you think the left is outraged over this?

Socialists, Communists, and Anarchist have always been undesirable in the eyes of the government yet for some reason its the far left advocating censorship on social media. They seem not to realize they will get the ban first. Now we have Wil Wheaton and other high Profile leftists threatening to delete their twitter accounts unless Jack Dorsey bans Alex Jones. Why would people want Jones banned if they can just mute him anyway? They claim it is to stop "abusive information" but what does that mean? Does that mean there must be an arbiter of truth who can guarantee something is not a lie?

Tyler Blevins, aka Ninja, recently said he would not stream with women because people would then harass his family and accuse him of having an affair. People called him names and made accusations about Ninja over these statements. But is part and parcel of the social justice metoo era. Men don't want to be perceived as doing something wrong or inappropriate with women so they avoid interactions. In fact according to Lean In the number of men refusing to mentor, work with, or even socialize with women is going up, dramatically. So just why is it that men are refusing to work with women?

CNN and Vox actually called out Antifa violence which some found surprising. Following this however activists in media called them out and criticized them for presenting a "false equivalence."

Why does Twitter allow some speech and not others?Why do activists, who dont follow conservatives and even had them blocked, want them to be banned entirely? Its odd isn't it?

Ben Shapiro's offer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was rebuffed with a comment likening it to catcalling. This caused an eruption in the hellscape that is twitter with people on both sides hooting and hawing. The left said it was a sign of male entitlement, the right said it was obvious fear of losing a debate. To me it says that the left is fractured in more ways than one. There needs to be more liberals willing to engage conservatives. UPDATE: After filming this video Ben responded to my questions "did he reach out to Cortez through traditional channels before making the appeal" by saying "No, we didn't.
