One of the most critical decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court in 2025 involves a case argued before the justices in early December—U.S. v. Skrmetti. The high court will decide whether the state of Tennessee may protect minors from experimental, life-altering transgender medical protocols such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormone injections and surgical manipulation. For many, transgender medicine is the largest medical scandal in our nation’s history, resulting in heart-wrenching stories of wrecked lives.
To be completely upfront, the reason for this article is a call to get on our knees and pray for a clear and decisive victory to protect children and youth in Tennessee and across the country from reckless, unsubstantiated, harmful and often irreversible medical experiments.
This case has massive implications for at least two reasons. First, if you have ever listened to the testimony of a sterile, regretful, broken 20-year-old detransitioning woman, and tears don’t pour from your eyes, you don’t have a heart. Young lives are permanently damaged, and no one warned them. Affirming parents, teachers, counselors and medical professionals drank the ideological potion, seemingly oblivious to the irreversible, life-altering consequences such as sterility. This in itself is enough reason to petition our Lord for mercy, goodness and righteousness to prevail in the Supreme Court’s decision, which is expected by July. The questions posed during the hearing by the conservative majority point to the likelihood of a favorable ruling, the Wall Street Journal reported, but there are no guarantees.
Will the court understand the plight of detransitioners whose lives are forever changed, abandoned by the “progressive” medical establishment that failed to warn them? Will the justices consider that children struggling with gender dysphoria will conform to their actual body 85% of the time by the end of puberty and over 90% of the time by adulthood? These factors alone show that Tennessee acted reasonably, honorably and wisely to protect minors from dubious hormone and surgical interventions with no good science showing helpful long-term outcomes.
Undeniably, this is a case of historical consequence for our nation. Tennessee desires to protect children and youth from medicalized transitions that have lifelong effects and hold reckless medical practitioners accountable. State lawmakers’ duty to love, care for and protect minors should never be trumped by elevating gender identity to a special, untouchable constitutional status. States should be free to legislate by the medical reality that biological sex matters and that medicalized transition does real, lasting harm. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
