Gov. Newsom Backtracks, Defends California’s Radical Transgender Policy

/

California Governor Gavin Newsom has backpedaled and defended his state’s radical left transgender policy. The Golden State has numerous appalling transgender laws, including one that prohibits school districts from requiring teachers to notify parents when their children choose a different gender than the one assigned at birth based on biological sex.

Previously, Gov. Newsom had stated that allowing transgender athletes in women’s sports was “deeply unfair” and that Democrats should own and acknowledge it, adding that the “issue of fairness [in sports] is completely legit.”

Appearing on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Gov. Newsom started on the right foot by describing his party as “judgemental” and “toxic” and urging it to mature on trans issues.

However, Maher called him out for the role he has played in entrenching the radical-left transgender ideology in California and nationwide. On July 15, 2024, Newsom signed the Support Academic Futures and Educators for Today’s Youth (SAFETY) Act or AB1955, which is one of a kind nationally. 

It prohibits teachers from notifying parents without the child’s consent or requirement by law when the student changes their gender, uses facilities designated for the opposite gender, or participates in activities traditionally associated with the opposite biological sex.

“What do you say to people who say, ‘Well, this all sounds very good. But governor, you were the poster boy for a lot of this [woke] stuff’?” Maher asked.

Referring to Trump’s criticism of California’s law that prohibits teachers from reporting students’ gender identity changes, Maher said the Republican Party had managed to convince many Americans that it was the most reasonable option.

“That’s the kind of thing — even though it doesn’t affect a lot of people — that makes a lot of people go, ‘Well, you know what? That’s the party without common sense.’”

Like a true Democrat, Newsom misrepresented the facts by claiming that teachers were fired for failing to report students’ gender identity issues. However, it introduces additional legal requirements for teachers to inform parents of any gender identity changes, thus making it riskier for them to report. Teachers are now more likely to lose their jobs or face additional legal consequences for reporting gender changes, essentially silencing them.

“I just disagree with that. I mean, the law was you would be fired, a teacher would be fired if a teacher did not report or snitch on a kid talking about their gender identity,” he claimed. “I just think that was wrong. I think teachers should teach. I don’t think they should be required to turn in kids.”

Despite Maher’s attempt to set the record straight, Newsom rumbled on relentlessly to reinforce the false narrative and drown out the facts. 

“What is the job of a teacher? It’s to teach. If Johnny’s talking about some identity issue or some issue about liking someone of the same sex, is it the teacher’s job to then report that?” Newsom asked. “In this law, the teacher can still do that. But they can’t be fired if that’s not what they do. I just think that was fair. I don’t think that’s inappropriate.”

Meanwhile, Newsom faces a political dilemma where adopting a commonsense approach to trans rights could cost him the primaries, while doubling down could cost him the election, like Kamala. The California governor had already acknowledged that trans rights was a losing issue, and Kamala’s reluctance to address them infuriated him more.

“It was devastating,” Newsom lamented. “And she didn’t even react to it, which was even more devastating.”

Meanwhile, the Department of Education is investigating California for violating parental rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which guarantees parents access to their children’s records.

“It is not only immoral but also potentially in contradiction with federal law for California schools to hide crucial information about a student’s wellbeing from parents and guardians,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said.

Woke Backlash: ‘Snow White’ Producer’s Son Blasts ‘Narcissistic’ and ‘Immature’ Rachel Zegler for Hijacking Father’s Film with Personal Politics

/

For the longest time, Disney has weathered the woke backlash until the recently released remake of the 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which attempted to capitalize on the classic film’s popularity. However, politics and woke ideology got in the way, making it one of the worst financial disasters in the film industry.

Thanks to Rachel Zegler, the once-enchanting Disney princess who portrayed the feminine character of a damsel in distress is now a Latina strong and independent woman who inspires feminists. Zegler had described the original film as “dated” and the Prince as a “stalker” and vowed to modernize the film. 

After introducing major changes, Snow White garnered brutal reviews on every platform, translating to fewer people hitting theaters to watch the film. 

The widespread frustration has spread beyond the audience to the production crew and their families, resulting in a scathing rebuke by one of the producer’s sons. Snow White producer Jonah Platt’s son posted a blistering comment about Zegler, blaming her for the film’s appalling performance.

“Yeah, my dad, the producer of enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20-year-old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for,” Jonah said in a now-deleted post.

Besides the appalling woke-ideology-filled remake, Zegler had posted a “Free Palestine” post and attacked Donald Trump supporters after he won the 2024 elections. Jonah suggests that these political statements undermined Snow White’s success. 

“This is called adult responsibility and accountability. And her actions clearly hurt the film’s box office. Free speech does not mean you’re allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions.”

Jonah added that Zegler hijacked the efforts of tens of thousands of people who worked on the film “for her own immature desires,” risking the careers of those who depended on its success.

“Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged,” he continued.

Besides Zegler, award-winning actor Peter Dinklage also rejected a role in the film, calling the original portrayal of the Seven Dwarfs “stereotypical”. It forced Disney to resort to subpar CGI, further frustrating the audience.

Zegler, who played Snow White, also performed very poorly, lacking the warmth and charm of the original Disney princess. Her performance felt stiff and bland, likely perfectly portraying feminist qualities. 

Nonetheless, Zegler believes Snow White’s production was excellent, describing the experience as a “life-changing” one that helped her “became a real adult.” She also still thinks that she is winning despite the backlash.

“People will wait in line despite my flaws,” she posted.

Meanwhile, Israeli-born actress Gal Gadot, who played the Evil Queen character, maintained a low profile after the film debuted. She was prominently missing from the behind-the-scenes photos that Zegler posted on Instagram.

In the Instagram post, Zegler said that “it takes a village to bring stories like Snow White to the big screen.” Seemingly, that village does not include most Americans who are tired of having woke ideology shoved down their throats by corporations that likely think they are too big to fail.

Meanwhile, Snow White continues to struggle to recoup its production costs in the face of the massive silent boycott. The Wrap reported that the film earned just $16 million from 4,200 theaters on its first day. 

It also earned $43 million in domestic ticket sales and $44 million internationally, totaling about $87 million out of an estimated $250 million in production costs.

On the popular movie review site Rotten Tomatoes, Snow White continues to fall, currently rated at 41%, while the IMDB audience rated it 1.6 out of 10. Seemingly, Snow White is turning out to be a “Bud Light” moment for Disney and the film industry as a whole.

California Democrats Block a Bill to Keep Men Out of Women’s Sports and Locker Rooms

/

Barely a month after California governor Gavin Newsom said that allowing transgender athletes – biological men who identify as women – to participate in women’s sports was deeply unfair, Democrats have steered the state in the opposite direction.

On March 22, California Assembly Democrats voted unanimously to block the hearing of “AB 844: Educational equity: sex-segregated school and athletic programs and activities: use of facilities” bill that would have enforced gender-segregated sports and locker rooms.

“This bill, notwithstanding any other law, would require that a student’s participation in sex-segregated athletic programs and activities and use of facilities, including bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, overnight accommodations, and student housing at a postsecondary institution be based upon the student’s sex,” AB44 reads in part.

Assemblyman Bill Essayli (CA-R-63) introduced the proposal to protect girls from potential predation by men exploiting gender identity to access their private facilities. He lamented the Democrats’ disregard for logic and the will of most American voters.

“Assembly Democrats care more about allowing biological boys into girls’ sports and locker rooms than protecting our daughters — this defies all common sense,” Assemblyman Essayli said.

“The vast majority of Californians and all Americans agree: keep boys out of girls’ sports. Assembly Democrats are radically out of touch with common sense Californians, and the voters will hold them accountable to restore justice and fairness in girls’ sports.”

California Democrats also removed Assemblyman Essayli from all committees for proposing the removal of sanctuary protections for illegal immigrants.

Meanwhile, Gov. Newsom has not issued a public statement about the bill or his party members’ unanimous decision to block its vote despite previously signaling support for fairness in women’s sports. Nonetheless, he had suggested handling the transgender issue carefully, claiming that gender non-conforming individuals are more likely to commit suicide. This false narrative sharply contradicts a recent study that linked gender affirming care to higher suicide rates.

“There’s also a humility and a grace, that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression. So both things I can hold in my hand,” he said.

“How can we address this issue with the kind of decency that I think is inherent in you but not always expressed on the issue, but at the same time deal with the unfairness?”

However, the threat posed by men who identify as women in women’s sports and locker rooms is well documented. In 2023, a transgender individual who was using women’s bathrooms and locker rooms beat a female student to death in Rivesider, California. Similarly, volleyball player Payton McNabb was severely injured when a transgender opponent spiked a ball so hard on her head that it caused traumatic brain injuries.

Newsom and other Democrats also overlook the mental health impact the inclusion of trans athletes has on sportswomen displaced by their biological male competitors, whom they cannot fairly compete against. In 2023, 27-year-old transgender cyclist Austin Killips won the women’s Tour of the Gila in New Mexico stage race with a whopping 50 minutes and 25 seconds. 

Ada Gallagher, a transgender high schooler, also set records in the 200-meter and 400-meter girls’ races, defeating the runner-up by over 7 seconds in the usually tightly contested race. High school athlete Margaret Oneal, who ranked second behind a transgender runner, said that competing against a “physically stronger” biological male was “discouraging and disheartening” and took a mental toll on her teammates.

Sens. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) also said the inclusion of trans athletes in women’s sports undermines sportswomen in numerous ways.

“To do so would threaten a woman’s physical safety and limit their opportunities for athletic success and scholarships,” Rep. Ernst said. “As a woman and a mother, I am passionate about protecting women and girls, which is why I’m working with my colleagues to pass the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.”

Democrats Start “Informal Conversations” on Transgender Issues, Suggest Pretending to Welcome a “Range of Thoughts”

/

Democrats are beginning to address their radical transgender policy which is in direct conflict with over three-quarters of American voters.

According to a New York Times/Ipsos Survey, 79% of Americans, including 67% of Democrats say that transgender athletes should not be allowed in women’s sports. Similarly, 71% of Americans, including 54% of Democrats, oppose transgender care such as puberty-blocking drugs and hormone therapy for children under 18 years.

However, when the House passed the bill to ban transgender athletes in women’s sports, only three Democrats crossed party lines, demonstrating the party’s unwillingness to respect the will of most American voters.

Surprisingly, Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress and a vocal trans activist has called for dialog over trans issues. “We have to create more space in our tent. If, for instance, we want to have a majoritarian coalition — not just electorally, but specifically on issues around trans rights — that, by necessity, is going to have to include people who have a range of thoughts,” McBride told NOTUS.

The transgender U.S. Representative also said that going “all in” or against trans rights was unhelpful and risked losing votes, general support, and progress. “A binary choice between being all-on or all-off is not constructive for anyone,” McBride added. “It impedes the very needed path toward winning electorally, winning hearts and minds and, most importantly, winning progress.”

The member of Congress also opposed excommunicating party members who refused to toe the line on various issues, including trans rights. “I think it is an incredibly problematic instinct that many have to excommunicate people who aren’t in lockstep with you on every policy, or even aren’t in lockstep with you on the messaging,” McBride said.

Bear in mind, if Democrats do shift their rhetoric on trans issues, and do start opposing things like men in womens’ sports, they’re just pretending.

Regardless, given how dogmatic the Democratic Party is over the trans issue, it is unlikely that they could reach a middle ground.

Rep. Greg Landsman also disclosed that Democrats were having informal conversations over the issue. Suggesting that the blue party should be more open-minded, Rep. Landsman also acknowledged “that Democrats could be a little judgy and annoying” about trans rights. 

Rightly so, several Democrats have faced backlash after expressing contradicting opinions. Recently, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) came under fire after correctly stating that allowing trans athletes in women’s sports is “deeply unfair.” 

“I think it’s an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that,” Newsom told conservative figure Charlie Kirk. “It is an issue of fairness, it’s deeply unfair. We’ve got to own that. We’ve got to acknowledge it.”

His remarks also caused a storm in his political backyard, with California’s LGBT caucus saying it was deeply sickened by the statement.

“We woke up profoundly sickened and frustrated by these remarks.”

The 2028 potential Democratic Party’s flagbearer also said the party’s position on gender politics contributed to Kamala Harris’ crushing defeat by Donald Trump. He also lamented Harris’ unwillingness to address the issue.

“It was devastating,” Newsom said. “And she didn’t even react to it, which was even more devastating.” 

Earlier, Reps. Seth Moulton (D-MA-6) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY-3) also faced backlash after suggesting that the party had gone too far on the trans issue. Moulton had warned that Democrats were afraid of honestly addressing issues that affect American voters.

“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton told the New York Times.  “I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.” 

But don’t forget, Moulton was one of 224 co-sponsors of the Equality Act that would have added “gender identity” as a protected class to all relevant civil rights statutes

Rep. Souzzi also stated that the Democratic party was pandering to the extreme left, leaving many leaders afraid to speak out. “The Democrats have to stop pandering to the far left,” Suozzi told the New York Times. “I don’t want to discriminate against anybody, but I don’t think biological boys should be playing in girls’ sports. 

“Democrats aren’t saying that, and they should be,” said the former County Executive of Nassau County.

MGM Casino Marketing Director “Not Going to Hire Whites”

/

MGM Resorts Marketing Director in Springfield, Massachusetts, Albie Velarde has openly admitted that he would not hire white job applicants in a disgusting show of racism. Velarde was speaking to an undercover O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) investigative journalist when he made the damning admission that racism against white people is alive and well.

When asked to choose between an African American and a white job applicant who were equally qualified for an advertised role, Velarde said he would prefer the former.

“I’d Probably Hire the African American,” he responded.

When pressed on whether he actually did not want to hire white people, Velarde asked whether the applicant was a cultural fit, despite MGM Resorts in Springfield catering to people of all races.

“Because if they [whites] are not, no matter how great they look on paper, they don’t fit well with my team,” Velarde said, further raising questions about the composition of the marketing team.

“So I’m not going to hire them.”

“If our guests cannot connect with our employees, and if they are all white, it just doesn’t resonate the same way.”

“I will purposefully look for those diverse-based hires,” he added.

When asked if race played a role in the company’s hiring decisions, Velarde disclosed that MGM Resorts’ human resource management maintains an inventory of various population demographics and regularly sends a turnover summary. 

“At a [MGM] property level, HR sends us, every month when they send us our turnover summary of the month, they’ll point out this month we lost this amount of females versus males.”

He also admitted that the turnover summary report influenced hiring decisions to maintain diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) through affirmative replacement.

“Hey guys, we’re losing all of our female workforce. Let’s try, you know, let’s put more females through the pipeline.”

“So like if I lose one of my female hosts, I would try to replace her with a female,” Velarde said. “Selena, she’s my Vietnamese host, she’s very reserved, she’s very quiet. But that’s her culture. I would replace her with somebody who is, in some capacity, that culture.”

When asked to respond about the alleged discriminative hiring practices, MGM Resorts said the marketing manager’s claims do not reflect the company’s policies.

“This person did not have hiring authority during his employment at MGM Springfield and these comments do not reflect the company’s policies or practices,” MGM spokesperson stated.

While MGM Resorts denies the allegations, Velarde’s allegations are hardly far-fetched, as most pro-DEI organizations regularly engage in these discriminative hiring practices, thus Velarde likely said the quiet part out loud. In a recently resurfaced lawsuit, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was accused of discriminating against nearly 1,000 air traffic control applicants who aced the Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) test because they did not check all the diversity checkboxes.

The lawsuit pertains to a mandatory “biographical questionnaire” the FAA introduced in 2013 in addition to the AT-SAT test, gutting an entire “Qualified Applicant Register” List of pre-qualified candidates who excelled in the technical and cognitive aspects of the test.

Hemorrhaging Sponsors: Bud Light & Budweiser Parent Company Anheuser-Busch Withdraws San Francisco Pride Sponsorship

/

Bud Light and Budweiser parent company Anheuser-Busch has canceled the San Francisco Pride (SF Pride) sponsorship citing financial constraints. 

Ranked as the largest LGBTQ+ event in the world attracting over 1 million participants, the San Francisco Pride will take place between June 28 and June 29, 2025, in California’s fourth-largest city. This year’s theme is “Queer Joy is Resistance” in the face of Trump’s onslaught on the radical woke ideology.

The beer brand lost over $27 billion after partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to celebrate “365 days of girlhood,” resulting in a conservative boycott that wiped out 30% of the company’s customers. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Pride continues to hemorrhage sponsors resulting in the loss of over $300,000 in funding out of the remaining $1.3 million after five sponsors pulled out. While the event’s overall funding goal is $2.3 million, SF Pride already has over $1 million committed.

The massive pullout occurred hot on the heels of various companies ditching woke policies including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring standards that prioritize race, gender, and sexual orientation. Besides Anheuser-Busch, other companies pulling out of the SF Pride include Comcast, Benefit Cosmetics, and Diageo, a British producer of popular alcoholic brands such as Smirnoff, Johnny Walker, Guinness, and La Crema wine. However, La Crema said it had not entirely ditched the LGBTQ+ community and hoped to partner with the SF Pride organizers in some limited capacity.

The San Francisco Pride also cut ties with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp parent company Meta over its decision to ditch censorship and DEI hiring policies. Earlier this year, Meta removed tampons and other female sanitary products from men’s bathrooms, resulting in pro-transgender silent protests. Lamenting the pullout, SF Pride’s executive director, Suzanne Ford described the withdrawals were “very abnormal,” suggesting that companies were steadily shifting their priorities.

“I just interpreted that companies are making decisions that at this time it’s not good to be sponsoring Pride,” Ford told SFGATE. “I think in this political environment that they thought that was a risky decision. But that’s just me reading the tea leaves. I think for a long-term sponsor not to sponsor us, they are responding to what we are.”

In the present “return to common sense” era under President Trump, Ford inadvertently pointed out that becoming involved with radical woke policies was a risky business decision. However, she blamed the Trump administration for allegedly putting pressure on companies. 

“I’m very concerned. Obviously, there’s pressure from the federal government,” Ford told a Fox News affiliate KTVU.

“The tone has changed in this country. Businesses already hedge their bets, and I think people who, this isn’t their hard core value of their corporation, maybe they’re rethinking their investment.”

Nonetheless, Ford said the event would proceed as planned as they would look for new sponsors although its future was bleak. Ford also warned that many small businesses that benefitted from SF Pride would be significantly affected.

“The whole world will be watching to see if San Francisco still has those values. That they can come here and live their authentic lives,” Ford added.

In January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to terminate DEI policies across the federal government in hiring, contracting, and spending. While U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore blocked the order, a three-bench appeals bench lifted the injunction allowing the policy to proceed.

Trump Freezes $175 Million in Federal Funding to University of Pennsylvania for Including a Trans Athlete

/

The Trump administration has blocked the University of Pennsylvania from receiving $175 million in federal funding over its policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports. The funding freeze was not related to the independent investigation by the Department of Education into potential violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 Act that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs and activities that receive federal funding.

However, the university has not received any notification about the funding freeze and claims to have fully complied with the NCAA’s updated guidelines on the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports.

“We are aware of media reports suggesting a suspension of $175 million in federal funding to Penn, but have not yet received any official notification or any details,” a UPenn spokesperson told Fox Business which first reported the funding freeze.

“It is important to note, however, that Penn has always followed NCAA and Ivy League policies regarding student participation on athletic teams. We have been in the past, and remain today, in full compliance with the regulations that apply to not only Penn, but all of our NCAA and Ivy League peer institutions.”

Recently, Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) found that the Maine Department of Education, the Maine Principals’ Association, and Greely High School violated Title IX by allowing a transgender teen to compete against girls in a track and field event. The Trump administration had also directed the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to halt federal funding for the University of Maine System (UMS) after the state’s politicians vowed to ignore the President’s trans policy. The funding freeze was later reversed after RINO Republican Senator Susan Collins intervened and negotiated with the Trump administration.

San Jose State University and Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association are also under investigation for allowing transgender athletes to compete against women. San Jose State University made headlines after including a transgender player on its volleyball team, prompting several female teams to refuse to play. In 2022, Payton McNabb was severely injured after a transgender volleyball player spiked a ball in her head, resulting in traumatic brain injuries. Subsequently, their boycott could be perceived as a security measure to avoid potential severe injuries.

In the same year, UPenn included a transgender athlete Lia Thomas, who proceeded to win the national championship in women’s 500-yard freestyle. By October 2024, transgender athletes had won over 900 medals across 400 events in 29 sports, displacing over 600 biological female athletes. The Trump administration has been requested to investigate an Illinois school district after a mother reported that her 13-year-old was forced to change in front of a transgender athlete. According to the girl’s mother, she was told that the biological male student could use the bathroom because now he identifies as a female.

The following day, the girls reportedly refused to change during physical education because the transgender student was present. However, the school’s assistant administrator, the principal, and several teachers entered the girls’ locker room and forced them to change in front of the transgender student. Meanwhile, Illinois Democrat state representative Bob Morgan accused the teenage girl of lying and lauded the people “who stood up for those who need to be defended and protected” referring to the transgender student.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers Replaces “Mother” with “Inseminated Person” and Updates Other Gendered Terms

/

The gap between Democrats and common sense continues to widen after Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) introduced a bill that redefines basic gendered terms such as “father” and “mother” using more “gender-inclusive” language. Gov. Evers was introducing a budget recommendation for the fiscal period 2025-2027 when he swapped the basic family terms to cater to the extreme and radical left.

The budget proposal referred to “mother” as an “inseminated person,” “paternity” to “parentage,” and “wife” or “husband” to “spouse.” in other places, the bill redefined “father” as “parent” and “mother” as “parent who gave birth to the child.” Ironically, Democrats cannot rule out that a father can give birth to a child.

This is hardly the first time that Democrats have introduced the absurd language in their official documents. They previously referred to “breastfeeding” as “chestfeeding” and “mother” as “birthing person.” Meanwhile, Gov. Evers said the budget proposal would eliminate tax on tips, stop homeowner’s tax increases, and improve the state’s infrastructure. However, he did not explain the reasons for using the absurd language in the budget proposal.

Nonetheless, the Republican Governors Association (RGA) issued a blistering statement criticizing Gov. Evers’ choice of words as the “latest left-wing push,” which was offensive to the mothers.

“Being a mother is the greatest privilege I will have in my lifetime, and every mother I know feels the same. If Tony Evers can reduce motherhood to an ‘inseminated person’ then our society is lost,” said RGA executive director Sara Craig.

Evers’ ludicrous language comes hot on the heels of Trump’s “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government” executive order to purge the radical gender ideology from the government and the country in general. The executive order recognized only “two sexes, male and female,” which are “not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.”

He also signed the “Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports” executive order to prevent biological men who identify as women from competing with biological women. He also threatened to cut federal funding for states that refuse to comply with his order. During his recent joint address to Congress, Trump invited Payton McNabb, a female volleyball player, who was severely injured when a transgender opponent slammed a ball hard on her face causing debilitating brain injuries.

Elsewhere, West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R) signed the Riley Gaines Act into law, codifying the definitions of “man” and “woman” in state law. The proposal sailed through the GOP-dominated upper chamber with overwhelming support of 31-3, with only one Democrat voting against it. The lower chamber also overwhelmingly approved the Senate bill on a 90-8 majority.

It aims to reaffirm the meaning of “male and female” and to preserve women’s private facilities, such as restrooms, sleeping quarters, and locker rooms, for women’s use only. By doing so, it aims to prevent the “abuse, harassment, sexual assault and violence committed by men.”

The bill sponsored by Senate President Randy Smith, (R-Blackwater Falls) and Minority Leader Mike Woelfel (D-Huntington) was inspired by a 14-year-old female athlete Emmy Salerno, and her teammates, who refused to compete against a biological boy who identifies as a girl. Suffice it to say, the high schoolers have more spine than the entire Democratic Party for choosing to stand up for the truth.

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to degrade motherhood by comparing mothers to livestock by referring to them as “inseminated people.” Ironically, despite advocating for women’s rights, Democrats cannot define what a woman is, and prioritize biological men who identify as women, over actual biological women. Any biological woman who supports or tolerates this madness is complicit in degrading and marginalizing herself and fellow women.

Trump Signs Executive Order Stopping Activist Judges and Radical Lefties from Abusing Justice System With “Frivolous” Injunctions

/

President Trump signed an executive order to stop the exploitation of the judicial system by radical leftists and activist judges through frivolous lawsuits. 

The Trump administration faces over 100 legal challenges challenging various executive orders and actions the president has signed and taken since he took office on January 10. Only two cases have so far been resolved, underscoring the need to improve the efficiency of the justice system overwhelmed by requests for temporary injunctions. The memo was directed to the heads of executive departments and agencies, directing them to enforce the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c) for anyone seeking preliminary injunctions or temporary restraining orders (TRO). 

The order requires department heads to work with the Attorney General in requesting federal courts to demand a security deposit from petitioners as required by FRCP 65(c). The court can use the security deposit to cover its costs or compensate the restrained party if it determines that the injunction was wrongly issued.  Additionally, the amount must be sufficient to cover potential costs and damages if the court determines that the activists abused the judicial process to the detriment of the restrained party. Additionally, the enjoined party can argue for a higher bond, while the mover can also request a lower amount.

The executive order lamented that the activists face no consequences when their requests for frivolous injunctions were rejected. This regrettable situation encourages radical left activists to request more temporary injunctions, essentially crippling government policy. Using this tactic, activist organizations and judges insert themselves into the executive policy-making process, undermining the federal government’s democratically-issued mandate.

“This anti-democratic takeover is orchestrated by forum-shopping organizations that repeatedly bring meritless suits, used for fundraising and political grandstanding, without any repercussions when they fail,” the lawsuit stated.

The order highlighted the negative impacts of unnecessary TRO requests. It warned that taxpayers bear the cost of the litigation process and must wait for government services before the issues are resolved. The Department of Justice also dedicates substantial resources to fighting frivolous lawsuits instead of defending public safety.

“The effective administration of justice in the Federal courts depends on mechanisms that deter frivolous litigation, protect parties from unwarranted costs, and streamline judicial processes.” 

Subsequently, the security deposit ensures that taxpayers do not pay the costs of litigation or damages if activist judges wrongly issue preliminary injunctions. The risk of the injunctions being reversed should also deter activists from requesting them and judges from issuing them.

“Federal courts should hold litigants accountable for their misrepresentations and ill-granted injunctions,” the executive order stated.

Surprisingly, activist judges have repeatedly ignored the rule, which speaks volumes about the judicial process in which some of the temporary injunctions were issued.

Meanwhile, activist judges can set unreasonable low bonds to encourage their leftwing friends to file frivolous requests for temporary injunctions. However, the affected departments can request higher courts to set a reasonable amount, preventing activist judges from abusing the system.

With the threat of baseless requests being rejected outright and additional penalties imposed, enforcement of the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c) could reduce the number of preliminary injunction requests.

Somali-Born Far-Left “Squad” Member Rep. Ilhan Omar Insults ‘Idiot’ Americans and Trump Supporters After Calls for Deportation

/

Somali-born, far-Left, anti-Semitic “Squad” (and potentially “brother-marrying”) member Ilhan Omar, recently insulted Trump supporters and Americans in general after a Republican Congressman called for her deportation to her native homeland. 

Omar entered the United States in 1995 during the Somali Civil War and gained legal residence after five years when she was 17 years old. However, she is accused of marrying her brother to help him obtain a green card, which is a federal crime and tantamount to immigration fraud and grounds for deportation.

She was also recorded calling the Somalian head of state “Our president” to a cheering crowd during his Minnesota visit, which the Leftist media has called a mistranslation. 

Subsequently, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN-6), called the “appalling Somalia-first comments” a slap in the face of Minnesotans who voted for her and called for her resignation. Republican freshman Congressman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) also recently circulated a petition calling for the arrest and deportation of Rep. Omar.

Rep. Omar recently appeared on Zeteo’s Mehdi Hasan, where she was asked to respond to people calling for her resignation and deportation when she uttered the diabolical speech.

“You and I have discussed people attacking you in the past, but you have this new freshman Congressional Representative, this lawmaker Brandon Gill, Republican, who tweeted out that video of you and wrote America would be a better place if Ilhan Omar were deported back to Somalia,” Hasan stated. “I mean, I thought I’d seen everything, and I’ve seen a lot of attacks on you.”

“But now you have a Republican colleague, dare I say, in the House saying to deport an American citizen, an American lawmaker, and an elected representative. How do you deal with that?” He asked.

However, Rep. Omar flew off the wheel, kicking off her speech on the wrong foot by insulting people who questioned her allegiance and conduct and Americans in general. Most people would expect an elected lawmaker to take the high road instead of resorting to insults and name-calling when called out. 

“These people are just idiots,” Omar responded. “I really am at the point where it has become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day is frankly embarrassing.”

Nonetheless, these attacks were seemingly directed toward Trump supporters, which some Americans of a different political persuasion could stomach. However, no freedom-loving American was seemingly spared in her embarrassing tirade, when she took a direct jab at all Americans exercising their Freedom of Speech. 

Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, whom Omar was accused of supporting, has been accused of stifling freedom of speech and cracking down on the media and massive corruption, including on the aid the country receives. Omar was one of the most vocal voices when Trump shut down the USAID and froze foreign aid.

“Not just in Congress but as Americans, and the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things tells you that the dumbing of the United States has arrived because how else do we get a Trump presidency again?”

Seemingly, Omar is against freedom of speech which got her elected in the first place. It is also infuriating that a foreign-born lawmaker from a country that does not allow free speech is allowed to attack our values.

It is so generous for Omar to call us “idiots” and talk about the “dumbing down of America” instead of calling for improved literacy in her native country, which has one of the worst in the world.
