On Tuesday, Joe Biden announced his selection for assistant secretary of health for the Department of Health and Human Services as none other than Dr. Rachel Levine.
Levine, who is actually Richard Levine, is an openly transgender person serving at the Secretary of Healthy for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Transgenderism, formally known as gender dysphoria, is a mental illness that needs help....not a position of authority.
“She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration’s health efforts,” Biden said of the confused man, “steady leadership and essential expertise.”
Breitbart reports:
Levine served as a controversial public official in Pennsylvania leveling business and restaurant lockdowns and bans and defending them as a critical way to stop the spread of the virus.
Levine drew criticism for months for allowing “stable” coronavirus patients to be returned to nursing homes during the pandemic, receiving blame for the virus skyrocketing among the elderly in those facilities.
In May, Levine was called out for moving her own mother out of a nursing home facility despite the department’s guidance to admit “stable” patients who had contracted the virus.
Levine also repeatedly accused critics of transphobia, as Levine publicly identified as a female rather than his biological gender as a male.
In May, Levine interrupted a press conference asking a reporter to not “misgender” him after the reporter addressed him as “sir.”
Yikes. If you were born with a penis, then you are a “sir.” Instead of attacking someone for using a term of respect, perhaps he should look in the mirror and reevaluate his own confusion.

Biden Chief of State Releases Plans to Reverse Trump Policies on Day One
President Trump spent much of his four years in office undoing his predecessor’s policies, and president-elect Joe Biden is reportedly set to do the same.
Biden is prepared to sign more than 10 executive orders in his first day in office, orders that will permit rejoining the Paris climate accord and cancel the travel ban on some majority-Muslim countries that Trump put into place, according to a memo from incoming chief of staff Ron Klain obtained by The New York Times.
Mexico's Left-Wing President Challenges Big Tech After Trump Ban

“I can tell you that at the first G20 meeting we have, I am going to make a proposal on this issue,” López Obrador said. “Yes, social media should not be used to incite violence and all that, but this cannot be used as a pretext to suspend freedom of expression.”
AOC Demands Federal Money to Take on 'White Supremacists'

Biden Unveils Plans to Cripple Small Businesses in America
President-elect Joe Biden said his upcoming COVID-19 relief proposal will include a plan to implement a $15 minimum wage across the nation, which would more than double the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
Biden, speaking about his proposal on Thursday, invoked the recently increased minimum wage in Florida in order to argue for a similar policy at the national level.
Cuomo Softens Restrictions, But Here's Why It's Too Little, Too Late
After nearly a year of fluctuating restrictions, New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his plans to expand rapid testing in an effort to reopen restaurants. In a press conference this Tuesday, the governor declared his intention to breathe life back into his state, proclaiming, “New York will be New York again.” Then, just a day later, restaurants in designated “orange” COVID zones were permitted to resume indoor dining.
While this is no doubt encouraging news for restauranteurs, Cuomo’s sudden interest in their industry’s vitality is too little, too late. As we close in on nearly a year of lockdown, the governor’s change of heart will do nothing to recuperate months of losses, nor will it resuscitate the ever-growing list of businesses who closed their doors permanently as a result of despotic restrictions. Tragically, New York is just one example of what is happening to the restaurant industry around the country, and around the world.
Harvard Students Start Petition for Trump-Supporting Graduates to Lose Degree
A group of students at Harvard University are demanding that the degrees earned by Trump allies be revoked as punishment for their political opinions.
“Harvard must revoke the degrees of alumni whose incendiary language and subversion of democratic processes—rooted in a history of white supremacist voter suppression—incited the violent insurrection on January 6,” the petition said, which was obtained by Fox Business. “This includes all who have used their platforms to deny the validity of the presidential election. They do not and should not represent a university committed to ‘strengthening democracy’ and ‘the advancement of justice.'”
