A sunken ‘pyramid’ near Taiwan may rewrite everything we thought we knew about the ancient world. Sitting just 82 feet below sea level near the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, a mysterious object called the Yonaguni monument continues to stump and astonish researchers since its discovery in 1986.
This giant structure with sharp-angled steps stands roughly 90 feet tall and appears to be made entirely of stone, leading many to believe it was man-made. However, tests of the stone show it to be over 10,000 years old, meaning that if a civilization built this pyramid by hand, it would have taken place before this region sank under water – more than 12,000 years ago. That would place it further back in history than most other ancient structures by several thousand years, including the Egyptian pyramids and Stonehenge.
Currently, scientists believe that the ability for ancient humans to construct large structures like temples and pyramids evolved alongside the development of agriculture 12,000 years ago. If an advanced society was already building giant step pyramids long before this time, however, it could change the history books forever and reveal another lost tribe of humans – just like the myths of Atlantis. In fact, Yonaguni monument is often called ‘Japan’s Atlantis,’ but skeptics continue to poke holes in the theory that this structure was actually built by human hands.
The site recently gained widespread attention after scientists sparred over its origins on the Joe Rogen Experience podcast. Graham Hancock, an author focused on lost civilizations and archaeologist Flint Dibble debated over the pictures of Yonaguni monument, with Dibble refusing to concede that any of the structures found by divers could have been made by humans.
‘I’ve seen a lot of crazy natural stuff and I see nothing here that to me reminds me of human architecture,’ Dibble said while a guest on Rogan’s podcast last April. ‘To me, Flint, it’s stunning that you see that as a totally natural thing, but I guess we’ve just got very different eyes,’ Hancock countered. Hancock added that photographs from dives at the site clearly show human-made arches, megaliths, steps, terraces, and what seem to be a carved rock ‘face.’
If Yonaguni monument really was built by a mysterious civilization over 10,000 years ago, it would add it to the growing list of puzzling structures that should have been impossible to construct that long ago. Built around the same time period, Yonaguni monument could potentially join the man-made ancient structure of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey as evidence of lost civilizations. This archaeological site in Upper Mesopotamia is believed to have been inhabited from around 9500 BC to at least 8000 BCE, during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic Era. That’s over 5,000 years before the Egyptian pyramids were built and roughly 6,000 before Stonehenge.
Meanwhile, another ancient structure in Indonesia could predate Göbekli Tepe and Japan’s Atlantis by a staggering amount of time. Gunung Padang, first re-discovered by Dutch explorers in 1890, is said to be the world’s oldest pyramid. Studies show that the 98-foot-deep ‘megalith’ submerged within a hill of lava rock dates back more than 16,000 years.
In 2023, scientists said the structure promises to upend the conventional wisdom on just how ‘primitive’ hunter-gather societies actually were – revealing the true ‘engineering capabilities of ancient civilizations.’ According to Dr Masaaki Kimura, the case surrounding Japan’s Atlantis is very much still open for debate. Kimura is the scientist who tested the sandstone’s age, finding that the rocks date back more than 10,000 years.
At this point in history, the structure would have still been on dry land, before the melting of massive ice sheets caused global sea levels to rise at the end of the last Ice Age. Studies show that at the peak of the Ice Age, roughly 20,000 years ago, sea levels were approximately 400 feet lower than they are today. In 1999, however, Dr Robert Schoch of Boston University tried to throw cold water on the theory of an Atlantis in the Pacific, arguing that geology could prove the pyramid and surrounding “city” was a natural rock formation.
Schoch noted in his report that Yonaguni monument shares a number of features with other nearby geological formations. Moreover, it sits in an earthquake-prone region, 62 miles east of Taiwan, suggesting that the fractures and flat faces making up the ‘steps’ are just normal features of sandstone rocks breaking and splitting.
‘When viewing photographs of the Yonaguni Monument, many people immediately have the impression, due to the regularity of the stone faces of the steps and the sharp angles made by the rock, that this is an artificial structure,’ Dr Schoch admitted in his paper. Schoch said that the rocks have also been coated with layers of marine life over the centuries, covering up much of the natural sandstone features and giving Yonaguni monument the appearance of being much more uniform than it really is. ‘I think it should be considered a primarily natural structure until more evidence is found to the contrary. However, by no means do I feel that this is an absolutely closed case,’ he added.

Feds probe flight risks at NYPD’s Aviation Unit as ‘incompetent’ commander booted after safety failures
The head of the NYPD’s Aviation Unit was booted from the elite squad this week after trying to block the feds from probing his dangerous mishaps, The Post has learned.
Aviation’s Commanding Officer Winston Faison was an “incompetent boob” who had numerous breaches in safety as he attempted to make himself the unit’s head helicopter instructor, whistleblowers revealed.
When FAA inspectors made a surprise visit to the base on July 16 because of internal complaints to the agency, Faison flipped his lid, police sources said.
Faison, who joined the NYPD in 2000 and became the unit’s first black commander to fanfare in 2023, began training for his instructor’s license in April and obtained it May 28.
He got his coveted helicopter instructor’s license in record time on the city’s dime despite showing up so late to a $80,000 course in Texas that concerned trainers in the Lone Star State called the unit’s base at Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn, the second source said.
“It used to take a decade to become a helicopter instructor in the unit,” the third source said. “This guy does it in 18 months.”
Like most NYPD pilots, he had a commercial plane license when he joined the unit.
Faison went to two Bell training programs on the city’s dime totaling more than $100,000 — one for $80,000 and the other around $20,000, including the air and sea rescue class he showed up to late in Texas despite having a travel day, the sources said.
Meanwhile, pilots in the unit are working double and triple shifts because of high attrition at the NYPD, the sources said.

“How Does Information Warfare Work? General Flynn Discusses How the Government Weaponizes Itself Against the American People”
Michael T. Flynn LTG USA (RET), Jul 26, 2025
WATCH NOW
American Thought Leaders with Jan Jekielek Featuring General Flynn on Declassified Documents.
Discussion Points:
The weaponization of the U.S. government against its own citizenry is very real, it happens on a daily basis, and it doesn’t just happen to high profile political figures.
In order to maintain this constitutional republic, we are going to have to sacrifice for it.
The White House will go against people for a political advantage, and General Flynn became the fulcrum of what essentially is a color revolution that’s still ongoing in the Unites States of America.
People are serving in our government who are more aligned with the dictatorship of the CCP than they are with our constitutional republic.
We must reestablish the trust between those that are leading us and those that are being lead.”

Just The News: “The chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board says he believes crimes were committed by intelligence and law enforcement officials who relentlessly pursued President Donald Trump over the last decade, and he also wants to make sure that spies who abused their powers are stripped of their security clearances and their jobs.
“Look, it’s really simple. There’s lots of criminals here, and it was a grand conspiracy,” former House Intelligence Committee Chairman and current PIAB chief Devin Nunes told Just the News.
“Remember, we made, I don’t know, a dozen criminal referrals when I was chairman of the House Intelligence Committee,” he added during an exclusive interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show Thursday night.
Nunes said whether people are prosecuted now will depend on whether the statute of limitations for crimes have expired, or whether those deadlines get extended by the pursuit of a conspiracy case. He said he’s comfortable leaving those decisions to FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The former Republican lawmaker from California said he’s focused in his role as the head of the civilian oversight board for U.S. intelligence on making sure that intelligence officers face discipline and consequences, regardless of whether they are prosecuted eventually.
“I just continue to be fascinated by the people who are still carrying a security clearance. It’s amazing who are still in these agencies,” Nunes said. “And I’m just shaking my head like every time I turn around, like, wait, wait, wait, wasn’t that person in that position a Russia hoax person.
“All of those people need to get their security clearances pulled, and they should not be working anywhere near law enforcement or intelligence for that matter,” he added. “So it’s one of the things that our board is tasked with.”

‘Safe Parking’ for homeless in campers in San Diego largely a waste of taxpayer money
By Monica Showalter
Do NGOs just think up what they think the homeless population wants and then use such thinkings to shake money out of the government?
Sure looks like it.
Amy Reichert is a local politico in San Diego who specializes in uncovering the seedy underbelly of one-party blue rule.
She found this:
NGO Jewish Family Service, which is the twin brother of Catholic Charities, got a $14 million city contract to set up these ‘safe parking’ places for homeless people who live in campers.
The results speak for themselves.
And this is not because barely anyone is homeless and living in a camper — the streets of the beach communities such as Mission Beach are overloaded with these homeless campers.
But apparently few want ‘safe parking’ or ‘safe camping’ as these setups are known. Quite a few are in town to do drugs and party, if not other nefarious activities. And with the welcome mat out, based on city policies that tie the cops’ hands against enforcing vagrancy laws, they will come. California, after all, is home to a quarter of the nation’s homeless population. Something is bringing them to that state.
You’d think an experienced NGO would know this, would have a good working knowledge of who the homeless are and what is drawing them to town in their campers and what they actually want in terms of services.
Instead, they haven’t a clue. NGOs put out the narrative that homeless people in campers just want a ‘safe space’ to park their campers. But like shelter space, it often happens that they don’t want that at all. They want free drugs, the freedom to do drugs in public, a public paycheck, and the freedom to act any way the drugs make them, which based on the result seems to be the aim
NGOs put out the narrative in the press and at their many conferences that the homeless simply don’t have safe spaces to park and all they want are safe spaces, so NGOs to the rescue, let the government contracts roll.
This is a good example of NGO dynamics at work, putting out a useless service in exchange for a big government contract. What do they care that the homeless aren’t showing up, mostly because they have other agendas? Hain’t they got the money?
No wonder President Trump stepping in and taking charge of the homeless situation has got so many up in arms. Trump is actually demanding results of his policies, having seen the failure after failure of the NGO-industrial complex and the blue state governors that feed them money.
That concept is completely foreign to these NGOs who have nothing to show for all their grant drawings.

Just The News: “A suspect was taken into custody after 11 people were stabbed at a Walmart on Saturday in Traverse City, Michigan, the State Police and hospital officials reported.
“Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a multiple stabbing incident at the Wal-Mart in Traverse City,” the State Police reported on X. “The suspect is in custody, details are limited at this time.”
Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea told reporters at a news conference that the suspect stabbed his victims near the checkout lines of the store and his attack appeared random. Shea said the suspect was a Michigan resident and was uninjured and officers recovered at the scene a “standard holding knife-style weapon.
The sheriff credited “citizen involvement” for helping at the scene. “This was a joint effort all the way through, and, as I mentioned, the citizens, too,” he said.
Authorities asked the public to stay away from the scene. A Walmart corporate spokesperson, Joe Pennington, told The Associated Press by email that the company was “working with police and defer questions to them right now.”
A Traverse City hospital said at least 11 victims are being treated. “We can confirm that 11 victims are being treated at Munson Medical Center,” a nonprofit healthcare group based in Michigan said in a Facebook post. “As a result, our Emergency Department is currently experiencing a higher-than-usual volume of patients. We are working closely with local authorities and emergency services to ensure the best possible care for those impacted.”
All the victims are in critical or serious condition, officials said. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said FBI personnel are providing any necessary support to the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office amid the ongoing investigation. Traverse City is one of the largest cities in northern Michigan.”

Just The News: “Dual-earning married couples are estimated to face a loss of $18,100 in annual benefits in seven years without the passage of some sort of entitlement reform, according to a new study. “We estimate that this would be equal to an $18,100 annual benefit cut for a dual-earning couple retiring at the start of 2033 – shortly after trust fund insolvency,” read a Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CFRB) analysis released on Thursday.
“At the same time, those retirees might experience reduced access to health care due to an 11 percent cut in Medicare Hospital Insurance payments. The cuts would grow over time as scheduled benefits continue to outpace dedicated revenues,” the analysis also read.
Loss of benefits vary factor-to-factor
The watchdog group noted that the actual size of the reduction would vary based on the age, marital status, and work history of the retiree. “For example, a typical single-earner couple would face a $13,600 cut, while a dual-earner low-income couple would face an $11,000 annual cut. High-income couples could see a cut of closer to $24,000,” said the CRFB.
“While the absolute size of the cut would be smaller for a typical low-income couple than for a high-income couple, it would represent a larger share of their income and their past earnings. These cuts are in nominal dollars and would be 15 percent smaller in 2025 dollars,” the group also found.
CRFB addressed why their estimates are “somewhat larger” than the findings in the latest Trustees’ report. “That’s because the tax rate cuts and increase in the senior standard deduction from the recently enacted OBBBA [One Big Beautiful Bill Act] would reduce Social Security’s revenue from the income taxation of benefits, increasing the required cut by about a percentage point upon insolvency,” the group said in their analysis. “If the expanded senior standard deduction and other temporary measures of OBBBA are made permanent, the benefit cut would grow larger.”
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., is among the lawmakers who have called for Congress to take on entitlement reform to prevent benefit cuts under Social Security and Medicare. “As Florida’s U.S. Senator and the Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, preserving the benefits of Social Security and Medicare is one of my top priorities,” he said when reintroducing his Protect Our Seniors Act legislation.
“So many Floridians depend on these programs, and after four long years of Joe Biden’s reckless policies and high inflation pushing them closer to insolvency, we must take action to protect them and keep our promises to beneficiaries,” he added. In Florida, approximately 21.3% of the population is aged 65 or older, according to the Population Reference Bureau.
Scott’s bill, if passed and signed into law, would create a “Budget Point of Order” and require a two-thirds vote against any legislation that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) “determines would reduce or cut existing Medicare and Social Security benefits.”
CRFB: Pledges to not touch Social Security are illusory
According to Scott’s office, the bill would also change CBO scoring laws so savings to Medicare “cannot be used to offset or pay for spending outside of Medicare.”
The CRFB concluded that lawmakers who are “pledging not to touch Social Security are implicitly endorsing these deep benefit cuts for 62 million retirees in 2032 and beyond.” The watchdog group called on policymakers to “tell the truth” about the finances of Social Security and Medicare and “pursue trust fund solutions to head off insolvency and improve the program for current and future generations.”

The family was suspected of abusing their four adopted children and five biological children who are between the ages of seven and 16.
“This pick-up order was a result of an investigation of alleged child abuse that was happening in the home stemming from concerns by a mandatory reporter at their local church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Branford, FL,” the statement from the police department reads.

Just The News: “Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Arizona, is sponsoring a bipartisan bill to address staffing shortages at the Veterans Health Administration. The Health Professionals Scholarship Program Improvement Act of 2025 would amend Section 7616 of Title 38 and “enhance the educational occupational program to address staffing shortages” within the VHA.
“From what I am told, staffing shortages in the Veterans Health Administration are driven by two main factors: high demand for veteran healthcare and persistent challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified staff, especially medical officers and nurses,” Hamadeh told The Center Square, answering questions by email. “In fact, according to Inspector General reports, well over 80% of VA facilities have severe medical officer and nursing shortages.”
Hamadeh added that “part of this gap is the result of bureaucratic red tape” in the onboarding process for healthcare workers. Healthcare providers are unable to fill open positions in a timely manner so veterans must wait longer for care,” said Hamadeh, a former U.S. Army Reserve captain and intelligence officer. “That is unacceptable.”
When asked how long veterans are waiting for health care, Hamadeh described it in two words: too long. “And I want to be crystal clear about this: For far too long, timely access to care has been the VA’s Achilles’ heel,” Hamadeh continued.
The representative applauded what he called “major progress under Secretary Doug Collins’ leadership,” but said the truth is that “the VA was set back so much under the Biden Administration” that there is still work to be done.
“And because of the constant shortage of physicians and nurses, far too many veterans can’t get care when they need it,” said Hamadeh. “That is exactly why I introduced the HPSP Improvement Act. We have to cut the red tape and get qualified healthcare professionals into VA clinics, so our veterans never have to wait too long for the care they have earned.”
If the government does nothing, Hamadeh said wait times will grow, quality of care will decrease, and the health of U.S. veterans will be sacrificed. That, said Hamadeh, is not something the government should do to those who have served their country.
“The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has reviewed my Health Professionals Scholarship Program Improvement Act, as amended, and determined it would have ‘insignificant budgetary effects’ for taxpayers,” said Hamadeh. “My bill is designed to make the system work better without adding new costs to federal spending or burdens on taxpayers.”
Also known as H.R. 3767, the HPSP Improvement Act of 2025 is co-sponsored by U.S. Rep. Nikki Budzinski, D-Illinois. “The bipartisan Health Professionals Scholarship Program Improvement Act would streamline the path for HPSP participants to start working full-time and make it easier for veterans to get the care they need,” said Budzinski in her own press release.
When asked whether he’s had discussions with the other Arizonans representing the state on Capitol Hill, Hamadeh said he has spent most of his time listening to his fellow veterans’ stories, concerns and hopes about what Congress should do for them.
“When it comes to veterans’ issues, I don’t care about party lines,” Hamadeh told The Center Square. “Every veterans’ bill I have introduced has been bipartisan, and it is not by mistake. I believe in results, and I will work with anyone — Democrat or Republican — to ensure we keep our promise to America’s veterans and turn positive changes into real improvements.”

JUST THE NEWS: “Pennsylvania on Friday became the latest state to consider legislation that would unmask agents from U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Joining state lawmakers from California, New York, Massachusetts, and Tennessee, the “Unmask ICE” effort is a reaction to officers concealing their identities to evade public attacks and retaliation for the agency’s operations, which have led to widespread fear, anger, and protest.
Senate sponsors Nikil Saval, D-Philadelphia, and Amanda Cappelletti, D-Norristown emphasized the safety risks and confusion created by masked law enforcement. Though the bill’s specific language is not yet published, a memo from its sponsors says that agents working within the commonwealth would be required to wear a uniform and badge that identifies their number and department. Along with the requirements would come civil and criminal penalties for failing to properly identify oneself.
“This legislative initiative is deeply important for the safety of our Commonwealth, and I believe people from across the political spectrum understand how critical it is for our community members to be able to trust our law enforcement officers,” said Cappelletti in an email to The Center Square. “Unfortunately, we have already seen troubling incidents in Pennsylvania where individuals impersonated law enforcement officers to commit crimes.”
Outside Pennsylvania, one such crime has rocked the nation. The assassination of Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, was committed by a man impersonating a police officer. Hortman’s killer also took the life of her husband and shot Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife.
“Our communities are living in fear as anonymous, unidentifiable law enforcement officers separate loved ones, attack workers and small businesses, and hollow out our public spaces,” said Saval. “Public safety requires a foundation of trust and communication, and this cannot be achieved when officers conceal their appearances and identities during the course of their duties.”
The Department of Homeland Security says that attacks toward its agents have gone up 500%, just as the agency’s unprecedented raids have. Many communities, including Philadelphia, are considered sanctuary cities and limit local police cooperation with ICE. Across the country, it has often put cities and states at odds with the federal government.
“Local police departments and other law enforcement agencies already have protocols in place to ensure their agents and officers are identifiable,” said Cappelletti. “It’s common sense to make that a standard practice for every law enforcement officer carrying out official duties in Pennsylvania.”
The bill lays out exceptions for masking to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and for circumstances when undercover officers are conducting criminal investigations.
In a conversation with CBS News, ICE Director Todd Lyons said he would continue to allow agents to wear masks. “I’m not a proponent of the masks, however, if that’s a tool that the men and women of ICE to keep their families safe, then I’ll allow it,” said Lyons. Acknowledging the legal efforts to prohibit the masks he said, “I would also want, you know, elected officials to help us hold those people accountable that do dox or threaten an ICE officer, an agent, or their family.”
In the Republican-controlled Senate, the bill faces stiff odds. Cappelletti told The Center Square, “We are in contact with our colleagues in the House as they develop their version of the legislation, and we are using that collaboration to help inform key decisions about the language and direction of our own bill.”

He popped the 11-year-old vehicle’s hood to replace its cooling fans, pulled out the airbox, and then began replacing it when the box would not go back into its spot.
The reason, Volk realized, was because there was a leather wallet sitting underneath where the airbox was supposed to go, right on top of the transmission.
In a social media post on July 1, Volk shared a picture of his find and detailed the story to friends. He said “I thought hmmm that’s weird opened it up there was money and license with a bunch of cards so started looking and here the guy works for ford in Michigan where they build cars,” he wrote.
Volk contacted the man on Facebook to ask if he had lost his wallet years before and the man said yes, noting he had searched for it. Volk said he shipped the wallet to the man’s address in Petersburg, Michigan, and left everything as it was inside it.
The wallet’s owner, Richard Guilford, used to build Fords in Michigan, and lost the wallet inside the car when it fell out of his shirt pocket as he was working. The Edge was later shipped to a dealership in Arizona before making its way to Minnesota and eventually into Volk’s shop.
When speaking about his actions to return the wallet, Volk said, “Just the way I was raised.” The men have since connected online and Guilford thanked Volk for his kindness in making sure the wallet, which contained $250 in gift cards, his Ford ID, and some cash, got back to him.
Normal people doing normal, honest things – as it should be.”

“Authorities Drop Giant Dome On San Diego Convention Center To Contain Comic-Con Smell”
U.S. · Jul 26, 2025 · BabylonBee.com
SAN DIEGO, CA — Authorities have launched an ambitious operation to drop a massive dome over the San Diego Convention Center to keep the Comic-Con smell contained.
With the stench already overpowering neighboring communities, local officials requested help from the federal government to combat the unbearable odor.
“We’ve never smelled anything like this,” said San Diego police chief Don Whitting. “It’s a warzone out there, and frankly, we’re losing the fight. Our goal at this point is containment. That dome is our only hope of making it out of this thing alive. We’ve already lost a lot of good men to that stank.”
Authorities had given Comic-Con attendees prescription-strength deodorant and installed several new air filtration systems at the Convention Center, but the efforts were in vain. “We cannot overpower that funk,” said Mayor Todd Gloria. “The noxious fumes emanating from that building are beyond anything humanity has ever seen. This dome is our last hope.”
At publishing time, the daring operation had succeeded in trapping Comic-Con attendees inside permanently, to no one’s dismay.

“Nation’s Lesbians Announce Plan To Go To The Zoo Today”
Life · Jul 26, 2025 · BabylonBee.com
U.S. — The lesbians of the nation have announced that they are once again planning to go to the zoo today.
For reasons that no human can fathom, every lesbian in the nation will spend the entire day wandering around the zoo, just like they do every other day.
“We lesbians will be walking around the zoo as always, being butch and checking out the lemurs,” said local lesbo Jean Allen. “There’s something about staring at elephants that really speaks to us dikes. Can’t explain it. Rest assured, wherever you turn at the zoo, we’ll be there.”
Families of the nation had no particular qualm with lesbians hanging out at the zoo today, but wished they understood. “I just want to know why,” said local dad Jim Rogers as he surveyed the sea of queers. “What is it about the zoo that brings them out? It’s incredible. The zoo could have their own exhibit of these gals. Behold, the short-haired American lesbian, known for its fanny pack and scowly face.”
At publishing time, the lesbians of America had confirmed they would see you at the zoo again tomorrow.

“A transgender father induced puberty in his three-year-old daughter after she was exposed to his synthetic estrogen”
Not The Bee, Daniel Plainview, Jul 26, 2025
ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Just when you think you’ve seen the worst, most depraved, most poisonous elements of transgender ideology, it surprises you with something new and even worse. Reduxx has the story:
At this point, my friends, I don’t blame you for wanting to shut down your computer and just look away and never think of this again.
But it is vital that people know just how destructive and foul this ideology really is. We’re not going to bring an end to this without being informed.
The study, originally published in the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology in 2023, found that the father in question believed he was a woman and “told clinicians that he was having daily skin-to-skin contact with the toddler girl” even though he was slathering himself in estradiol (estrogen) gel, including on his “chest, abdomen, shoulders, and thighs.”
The gel, of course, was meant to induce female-like physical characteristics into and onto the male’s body. But, unsurprisingly, it had a profoundly negative effect on the young girl’s body as well:
According to developmental biologist Emma Hilton, those numbers are very serious cause for concern:
Per Hilton:
Yes, it’s perfectly proper to feel very, very angry at this.
Thankfully, once the girl’s delusional father realized what was happening, he switched his estrogen supplement to a “transdermal patch,” after which the girl’s symptoms began to abate.
Hilton, however, admitted that the scenario was likely “unprecedented,” and that it’s unknown what the long-term effects of this ghoulish child abuse will be.
This has got to come to an end at some point, folks. We can’t keep doing this to kids.”
