FRANKLIN, TN — Local husband and father Greg Hartley, who came down with a case of the sniffles earlier this week, was officially listed as "questionable" for church attendance (or anything) this coming Sunday.

Following pushback from a Texas legislator, the University of North Texas has taken down its public-facing LGBTQ Archive page from the university library’s website.

Last week, Republican state Rep. Brian Harrison highlighted that the university had an archive collection documenting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer history on its library website. 

According to the now-removed site, “The Resource Center Collection was the initial acquisition to the LGBTQ Archive and is the largest collection of LGBTQ history in north Texas, with over 600 linear feet of materials.”

The collection included documents about people, organizations, and events in LGBT history, including the first Dallas Pride Parade, the Dallas Buyers Club, and the Dallas Gay Alliance.

Harrison posted about the collection last week, expressing frustration that a taxpayer-funded institution had a collection “promoting transgenderism.”

“My constituents are being taxed out of their homes … and their money is being used to promote TRANSGENDER INDOCTRINATION!!!!” Harrison wrote on X. “Public universities are for education … not leftist indoctrination!”

Hours after Harrison mentioned the site to the public, the university took down the webpage, which now displays a “Page Not Found” message.

Harrison celebrated the removal of the webpage, writing on X that UNT “must end the program, not just a website.”

However, the webpage’s removal was not celebrated by everyone.

On Thursday, Harrison shared an email that he received from a senior lecturer in the university’s Department of Anthropology who called Harrison “fragile” and said he should “be embarrassed” for getting the page taken down.

Harrison redacted the professor’s name but shared portions of her university biography, which showed that she is affiliated with UNT’s Women’s and Gender Studies program and teaches several courses on race and ethnicity, gender and culture, and LGBTQ studies.

In 2023, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 17, legislation that limits diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in taxpayer-funded colleges and universities. The law took effect in 2024 and prohibits public institutions from maintaining DEI offices, requiring certain DEI statements, or mandating certain diversity-related training. It also prohibits certain employment or institutional preferences based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. 

Former Republican state Sen. Brandon Creighton, who authored the bill in 2023 and is now the chancellor of the Texas Tech University System, has taken steps to rid Texas public universities of LGBTQ+ instruction.

In April, Creighton sent a memo to the system’s five universities, ordering them to phase out academic programs, majors, minors, and graduate theses centered on sexual orientation and gender identity. The memo has prompted opposition from multiple groups, including lawsuits challenging the policies.

Harrison told the Daily Signal that he’s “fed up with hard-working Texans having their own money weaponized against them, their children, and their values.”

“I’ve single handedly done more to end taxpayer funded DEI and transgender indoctrination and conduct real legislative oversight than all the rest of the Texas government combined, and this is just the latest conservative victory I’ve forced from agencies and universities,” Harrison said. “UNT’s LGBTQ library archive is further proof Texans are still being taxed out of their homes and forced to fund leftist indoctrination.”

“The purpose of taxpayer-funded higher education in Texas is to train the workforce of tomorrow and strengthen our economy,” he added. “If someone wants to study transgender literature, fine, but do it with your own damn money.”

The University of North Texas did not respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment by the time of publication.

Top Democrats hate nothing more than President Donald J. Trump, but data centers are a very close second. And yet Democrats and data centers are the best of frenemies.

“We need a federal moratorium on AI data centers,” insists Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. He also said on Sept. 15, “AI is an existential threat to humanity.” Even worse, he told CBS News that day: “The potential danger of AI is probably greater than nuclear weapons.” So, evidently, Nagasaki was a light breeze compared to ChatGPT.

Sanders announced Wednesday that he wants a U.S. Department of Artificial Intelligence to ride herd on AI, or “Super Intelligence,” as Trump rechristened this incredible technology in his address to the United Nations the previous morning.

Sanders’ protégé concurs with her mentor.

“Congress has a moral obligation to stand with the American people and stop the expansion of these data centers until we have a framework to adequately address the existential harm AI poses to our society,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., asserted on June 24.

Far-Left Democratic candidates also have data centers on their hit lists.

“We got to stop data centers from being built if they can’t meet the demands of our communities,” U.S. Senate hopeful James Talarico declared in Texas. His counterpart in Michigan, Abdul E-Sayed, boiled it down to six words: “People really f—ing hate data centers.”

It would be easier to take these and other Democratic foes of data centers more seriously if they did not depend daily on data centers.

At the very top of Sanders’ U.S. Senate website, right beside his photo, he invites visitors to “Follow Me on Facebook” and “Follow me on Twitter.”Sanders’ missives on “greedy billionaires,” Medicare for All, and so much more all sit on computer servers that are housed within data centers. Many are financed by multi-billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and trillionaire Elon Musk. Sanders’ official government website also preaches the proletarian gospel—from deep inside data centers.

Ocasio-Cortez has 4.1 million followers on TikTok. At a quick glance, her account features at least 238 videos on everything from a “Forgiveness Plan” to “Team AOC donates turkeys.” These clips are not roasting inside some oven at 350 degrees. They exist within data centers, waiting for data-center detractors to click onto them.

The campaign website for Talarico for Texas welcomes donations payable via Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Those who are not into credit cards may back his race by using Google Pay, PayPal, and Venmo. ActBlue, the Democrats’ dodgy e-bagman, coordinates this for Talarico and other Democratic candidates.

All of the above is possible, thanks to data centers. Without them, Talarico and other candidates would have to open envelopes delivered by the Post Office, extract paper checks, and then hand those funds to bank tellers for manual processing. Ah, the good ol’ days!

Try as he might, Michigan’s El-Sayed cannot shake his previously beloved Hasan Piker.

Comments such as “Zionism is fascism” and “I want Chinese style Communism” keep cascading from this online extremist’s mouth. El-Sayed pretends not to know Piker, but El-Sayed cannot erase the indelible evidence of their now-curdled courtship.

El-Sayed appeared on Piker’s podcast, by Piker’s count, “a hundred times.” These are nestled, and ripe for inspection, within data centers.

“The bitter irony in this debate is that Bernie Sanders, AOC, and their fellow travelers use data centers every day to post anti-data center slop on social media,” James S. Erwin observes. Americans for Tax Reform’s Director of Innovation Policy adds: “Comrade Sanders uses data centers when he invites agents of the Chinese Communist Party onto Zoom calls, so they can lecture Americans on AI safety. Unless they’re using carrier pigeons, all of this anti-data center propaganda depends on America’s vast infrastructure of data centers.”

Top Democrats avail themselves of America’s 5,427 data centers while hammering such facilities.

“ … those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people.” ~ Tulsi Gabbard

Judicial Watch sued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the ODNI failed to respond to a July 31, 2026, FOIA request “for records concerning the discovery, location, contents, and handling of the materials referenced by Director Gabbard, as well as communications about their discovery and records about any inquiry into why the materials were designated for destruction.”

On August 26, 2025, Gabbard confirmed to President Trump during a cabinet meeting that ODNI had identified burn bags containing information regarding corruption in the 2020 presidential election. “We are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes in random offices, in these bags and in other areas—which, again, speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people.” She added that the documents revealed the politicization of intelligence and caused immeasurable harm to the American people.

Judicial Watch said in its suit:

As of the date of this Complaint, ODNI has failed to: (i) determine whether to comply with the request; (ii) notify Plaintiff of any such determination or the reasons therefor; (iii) advise Plaintiff of the right to appeal any adverse determination; or (iv) produce the requested records or otherwise demonstrate that the requested records are exempt from production.

“There is no legitimate reason to continue sitting on these documents that will likely add further evidence of the corruption at the top of the Biden administration,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.

Judicial Watch has another similar suit pending.

In August, a federal judge ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to provide answers about nearly 2 million pages of FBI records discovered in a “hidden room” at FBI headquarters, including whether the records have already been reviewed in response to other Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and whether the newly uncovered records had been stored in other government record systems.

In July, the FBI told a federal court that, at a rate of 500 pages a month, processing records from the “hidden room” at FBI Headquarters would take approximately 158 years. The room — now dubbed the “burn bag room” —  holds over 2 million pages of records, according to the FBI’s own filing. Then-Deputy Director Bongino said in May 2025 that some of the records were found stashed “in bags.”

In February, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice concerning the discovery and contents of “burn bags” found in a secured Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) at Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) headquarters in Washington, DC.

The Department of Health and Human Services is pushing back against the Human Rights Campaign’s condemnation of hospitals that have agreed to stop providing transgender procedures to minors, accusing activists of making “unfounded claims” linking restrictions on the procedures to violence.

“Protecting children from irreversible sex-rejecting procedures is not discrimination, and HHS will not allow unfounded claims linking these protections to violence to distract from the serious medical risks facing vulnerable children,” an HHS spokesperson told the Daily Signal in a statement Friday.

The statement marks the administration’s latest defense of efforts to halt transgender medical interventions for minors as major hospital systems across the country are reaching settlements with the Trump administration.

HRC issued a statement Wednesday condemning at least six hospitals that entered into settlements with the Trump administration and agreed to halt sex-rejecting procedures for minors.

Since May, six hospital systems have agreed to stop providing sex-rejecting procedures to minors. The systems include Texas Children’s Hospital, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Connecticut Children’s Hospital, Mount Sinai Health System, NYU Langone Hospitals, and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

HRC called the trend “a crisis for families and transgender youth,” noting that even in states that passed laws to protect the controversial procedures, hospitals are stopping them. “Our thoughts are with the countless families across the country who feel scared and under siege,” HRC President Kelley Robinson said.

HRC has repeatedly claimed that “anti-transgender” laws lead to violence against transgender people. The statement claimed that the procedures are “best-practice, and potentially life-saving health care.”

Yet HHS released a peer-reviewed review last year finding “extremely weak evidence” for any benefits from “gender-affirming care” for young people.

Last month, HHS released “Wolves in White Coats,” a report focused on how medical professionals used false medical billing codes to prescribe so-called puberty blockers for minors.

HHS and other administration officials have challenged activist claims that restricting transgender medical interventions increases suicide, violence, or other harms. The administration has argued that the evidence supporting “puberty blockers,” cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for minors is weak and that the procedures carry significant risks.

The HHS spokesperson cited the Wolves in White Coats report, stating that “these procedures carry significant risks to children’s physical and mental health, including lifelong consequences.”

“Under President Trump and Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, HHS will continue putting children’s health first and advancing policies grounded in the best available science,” the spokesperson concluded.
