(WND)—When Joe Biden announced a “Transgender Remembrance Day,” the latest of his promotions of the unscientific ideology that contends men can become women and vice versa, the White House lauded “26 transgender-identifying Americans” who have died, purportedly because of their gender identity.
But, a report from the Federalist documents how at least three of those were “shot and killed while committing a crime or tangling with law enforcement.”
The report cited the case of Manuel “Tortuguita” Terna, 26, who was remembered by those at the leftist LGBT promoter Human Rights Campaign as “indigenous queer and non-binary environmental activist and community organizer.”
He was “shot and killed by cops during a raid in Georgia in January 2023,” the report said, when he was among “forest defenders” who camped out on land to prevent construction of an Atlanta police training center.
The report Teran was “only shot by officers because he fired first,” shooting pepper-ball rounds at officers, injuring a state trooper.
A district attorney later ruled the use of lethal force by the Georgia State Patrol was reasonable.
A statement from Biden recalling the deaths of the 26 said, “We must never be silent in the face of hate. As we mourn the loss of transgender Americans taken too soon this year, we must also recommit ourselves to never stop fighting until all Americans can live free from discrimination.”
Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed, “victims are disproportionately black women and women of color.”
Other causes of death for the 26 included hit-and-run accidents and domestic violence.
Another “victim” was, the report said, Banko Brown, a 24-year-old woman shot and killed by a security guard at a San Francisco store after she allegedly shoplifted.
“The guard who fired the fatal shot claimed Brown ‘repeatedly threatened to stab him’ as he tried to prevent her from leaving the store,” the report explained.
The guard was fined for carrying a concealed firearm but was not charged for the shooting, the report said.
A third person portrayed as a victim by Biden was DéVonnie J’Rae Johnson, 28, who was shot and killed by a security guard in August “after he walked into a Los Angeles store wielding a fire extinguisher and screwdriver,” the report said.
Again, the guard faced no charges.
But, the report noted, missing from the list was Audrey Hale, “a woman masquerading as a man who shot and killed three children and three staff at a Christian grade school in Nashville earlier this year before local police took her out.”
Her manifesto suggested her motives included open antagonism to white and Christian portions of society, but the FBI and Department of Justice refused even to label the hate crime for its anti-white and anti-Christian elements.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
