Maine Rep. Laurel Libby Celebrates SCOTUS Win After Censure for Opposing Trans Athletes in Girls’ Sports

Maine State Representative Laurel Libby is taking a victory lap after a landmark ruling restored her voting rights stripped by the Democratic majority for speaking out against boys in girls’ sports.

Rep. Libby had posted pictures of a transgender athlete participating in a girls’ pole vault competition in a viral social media post. She had highlighted that the transgender athlete had competed as a boy one year ago and clocked the fifth position. One year later, he competed as a girl and won the girls’ Maine State Class B Championship.

“We’ve learned that just *ONE* year ago John was competing in boys’ pole vault… that’s when he had his 5th place finish,” Libby posted on Facebook. “Tonight, ‘Katie’ won 1st place in the girls’ Maine State Class B Championship.”

However, Democrats claimed that Libby’s post violated the House code of conduct for identifying a minor and voted to censure her. On February 25, Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau turned off her voting device and blocked her from speaking after she refused to apologize. 

She escalated the legislative battle through the justice system by filing a lawsuit alleging the violation of her First and Fourteenth Amendment rights and disenfranchisement of her constituents. 

However, the lower courts denied her request to intervene, claiming “legislative immunity.” Subsequently, she escalated the challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking relief. The Trump administration supported her throughout the journey by filing an amicus brief.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court voted 7-2 in her favor, with female Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting.

“This is a victory not just for my constituents, but for the Constitution itself. The Supreme Court has affirmed what should never have been in question — that no state legislature has the power to silence an elected official simply for speaking truthfully about issues that matter,” Libby said in a statement.

Speaking to Riley Gaines, a former collegiate athlete defeated by a biological man, she recounted slamming the House Speaker for choosing the wrong side of history by silencing a woman fighting for girls’ rights.

“Speaker, you’re going to go down in history as a man who silenced a woman for speaking up for girls,” she said.

Meanwhile, her uncounted votes, including on the Maine Human Rights Act, which codifies the protection of biological men in women’s sports, will soon reflect. However, she still cannot speak on the House floor, awaiting the lower courts’ ruling. 

“Yesterday Speaker Ryan Fecteau was required to turn my voting device back on following the Supreme Court ruling,” she tweeted.

“I look forward to voting tomorrow, when we are back in session, on behalf of my 9,000 constituents, who have had their voices silenced for the last three months.”

Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau has promised to comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling and restore her voting rights. 

“In accordance with the Supreme Court’s injunction pending appeal, Representative Libby’s ability to vote on the floor of the House has been restored until the current appeal process runs its course,” the Maine House speaker told Fox News Digital.

Speaking to the same outlet, Libby slammed Democrats for using privacy rights as an excuse to censure her for opposing the participation of biological men in women’s sports. She noted that other lawmakers have previously posted photos of minors but faced no consequences, highlighting the Democratic Party’s double standards. 

Besides, school championships are public events, and players are usually identified. Before Libby posted about the transgender teen athlete, news of him winning the girls’ championship was making rounds on social media. Nonetheless, the Maine House speaker claimed that was no excuse for her to post a minor’s identifying information.

Is Doctor-Assisted Suicide for Teens Coming to Canada?

What do you think of when you hear about physician-assisted suicide? Probably nothing, as even that euphemistic phrase has been retired in favor of even murkier feel-good terms. In the U.S., advocates will call it “death with dignity.” But in Canada, it’s even cuter and more cuddly. When you want your doctor’s help to kill yourself, you can just ask for MAID service! That is “Medical Aid in Dying.”

Whether you approve or disapprove of such protocols, the issue probably brings to mind images of old people in hospice, or wasted, skeletal cancer patients who want to escape agonizing pain. To be sure, there are plenty of cases of this kind of suffering at the end of life, and people like this have been used as examples of why allowing doctors to prescribe lethal drugs is kind and humane. Many disagree entirely, but it’s at least understandable that someone who weighs 85 pounds in stage 4 liver cancer would want to end their suffering. 

But what about your teenager? Should your depressed and moody 16-year-old be able to get “help” to kill herself? Canada thinks so. If I hadn’t seen this myself, I’m not sure I would have believed it, but it appears to be true. An X user named Jasmin Laine has posted a picture of a brochure found at a medical center in the province of Manitoba:

The brochure, from the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, appears to be against the legalization of doctor-assisted suicide, thank goodness, but how could such an idea ever have been floated? According to the pamphlet, “A mature minor is a child or teen who is deemed capable of making a choice for [doctor-assisted suicide]. This would essentially remove the minimum age of eligibility.” It further claims that a committee of doctors making recommendations suggested the parents’ consent may not even be necessary!

This really shouldn’t shock, as Canada has been aggressively expanding its regime of patient-killing doctors. Originally restricted only to the terminally ill, doctor-provided suicide is set to be legal for the mentally  in Canada beginning in 2027. Some people have asked for their doctors to help kill them because they believe they’re a burden on their families and society. 

Here’s a sample of reactions to Jasmin Laine’s post:

“Big Problem”: Trump Sounds Alarm Over Someone Not Telling the Truth About Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis

Shortly after wishing the ailing Joe Biden a quick recovery, President Trump weighed in on the deepening controversy surrounding his cancer diagnosis. Hard to blame Trump since Biden insiders have for years strived to cover up his declining cognitive abilities.

“I’m surprised that — you know, the public wasn’t notified a long time ago because to get to stage nine, that’s a long time,” Trump said. “I just had my physical — We had the doctors at the White House and over at Walter Reed, which is a fantastic hospital. I did a very complete physical, including cognitive tests.”

Biden’s team said his cancer had a Gleason score of 9 out of 10 (Grade Group 5), indicating it was one of the most aggressive forms. It also had spread to the bone, thus categorized as Stage 4B.

Meanwhile, taking another jab at Biden, whose administration worked tirelessly to put him behind bars on trumped-up charges, Trump recommended cognitive tests, especially for Biden. “They say it’s unconstitutional. But I would say in that particular case, having a cognitive test wouldn’t be so bad,” he added.

The president also recommended asking the doctor why cognitive tests were not included in the exam, which would eliminate all doubts about his cognitive state. “I think somebody is going to have to speak to his doctor if it’s the same, or even if it’s two separate doctors,” Trump said. “Why wasn’t the cognitive ability, why wasn’t that discussed? And I think the doctor said he’s just fine. And it’s turned out that’s not so. It’s very dangerous.”

“Somebody is not telling the facts,” he added. “It’s a big problem.”

Recently, a former Obama official, Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel, said there was no doubt that Biden’s cancer started much earlier than the last 100 or 200 days, probably at the start of his presidency. Besides Trump, others have also raised concerns about Biden’s cancer diagnosis and suggested legal consequences for people who likely knew about his condition.

Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Leo Terrell has recommended prosecuting former First Lady Jill Biden for elder abuse. Terrell suggested that Jill had dragged weakened Biden into another blistering presidential campaign despite knowing his condition.

First son, Donald Trump Jr., also questioned the former First Lady’s role in the potential cover-up.

“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” 

Donald Jr. was responding to an analysis by Dr. Steven Quay, explaining that prostate cancer takes between five and seven years to become metastatic.

“Meaning, it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025,” the doctor argued.

“It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed.”

Trump, former presidents George W. Bush, and Obama had all released their PSA checks, while Biden did not, suggesting a deliberate cover-up.

Meanwhile, others have questioned the timing of the cancer diagnosis, which was likely known to Biden’s confidants beforehand. Unsurprisingly, it coincided with the liberal journalist Jake Tapper aggressively promoting his book detailing Biden’s cognitive decline and subsequent cover-up, of which he was clearly involved.

BOMBSHELL: Staffers Who Wielded Biden’s Autopen Identified, Subpoenas Incoming

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has disclosed that his committee has identified staffers who unleashed Joe Biden’s autopen when he was clearly in a state of mental decline.

During that period, Biden issued thousands of clemencies and presidential pardons, including to his own family members and administration officials, at a rate never seen in recent history. 

However, the use of his autopen extends deep into his presidency when he issued numerous executive orders, of which he was likely unaware. 

In January 2024, current House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) recounted how the former President was unaware that he had canceled liquified natural gas (LNG) exports to Europe, suggesting that someone had misused his autopen to sign the order. “Sir, why did you pause LNG exports to Europe?” Johnson asked. “Liquefied natural gas is in great demand by our allies. Why would you do that?”

Surprisingly, Biden answered, “I didn’t do that.”

In March 2025, President Trump also highlighted the potentially unauthorized wielding of a sitting president’s autopen and declared Biden’s politically motivated pardons null and void.

“Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!” Trump wrote. “The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime.”

On Saturday, March 17, 2025, Trump called an audio released by Special Counsel Robert Hur that was related to the autopen use a “major part” of the alleged crime.

Meanwhile, appearing on Fox News, Rep. Comer announced that his committee had identified staffers behind the alleged unauthorized use of Biden’s autopen. “You are going and looking at who is controlling this autopen, because Joe Biden—he’s demonstrating that he doesn’t have all the cognitive capabilities he once had,” Fox News host Jason Chaffetz said.

Rep. Comer agreed that Biden was “clearly … in significant mental decline,” raising “questions about who was actually making the decisions.”

He added that the autopen use was “not just with the pardons he issued, but many of the executive orders that the courts are now using to ‘Trump-proof’ the government.”

“Many of these executive orders, as well as the pardons—including those involving Biden’s entire family—as a result of our investigation, were all signed with the autopen.”

Comer added that “many, many months before the heavy use of the autopen,” Biden was incoherent and unable to make decisions. He also disclosed that his committee had identified shadowy figures behind the use of Biden’s autopen. “We think we’ve identified who the staffers are. Jason, you all have done great work with that over at Heritage Oversight.” The Oversight Project had identified that all of Biden’s pardons had the same autopen signature, raising suspicions about their authenticity.

He also disclosed that his committee would summon the individuals behind the heavy wielding of Biden’s autopen to give a written disposition, of which failure to comply would force the committee to issue subpoenas. “We’re going to bring everyone we believe was involved in any role in the use of the autopen. We’re going to invite them to come in for a transcribed interview. If they decline, they will receive a subpoena and face a full-blown deposition.”

Secret Service Frog Marches Former FBI Head Comey to Headquarters Over Alleged Threat to Trump

You may find it hard to believe, but it appears that the federal government is taking potential threats against conservatives seriously. We told you yesterday about how former FBI director James Comey, allegedly a Republican, but deeply involved in the phony “Russiagate” accusations against President Donald Trump, is in hot water over a social media post. 

On May 15, Comey posted a photograph on Instagram. It showed a beach with a number of sea shells arranged to spell out the numberals “8647.” Yes, it sounds like paranoid numerology, but it’s not. The numbers are widely known to mean specific things:

-”86” means “to get rid of.” It’s used in restaurant kitchens to refer to ingredients that ran out. In street parlance, to “86” someone is to get rid of them, sometimes by killing.

-”47” refers to the fact that Donald Trump is the 47th president. 

Given the full-court press by the left to stymie and frustrate every action taken by Trump, it’s not a stretch to read that post by Comey as endorsing the assassination of Trump. No, it’s not “ridiculous” to think that, and Comey surely knows that, although he’s almost certainly lying when he says he “didn’t mean that.” He took the post down, but it’s far too late. You can see a screen capture of the original here.

Last year in 2024, Trump survived two assassination attempts. For those who have forgotten (yes, people really have), a bullet grazed his ear and came within an inch of penetrating his brain. There is clearly an appetite to kill the man, and there are clearly insane people just waiting to be baited by covert suggestions that someone should rid us of this turbulent president. 

Given how nakedly the federal government has encouraged lawlessness and violence for years under Joe Biden, it’s almost a shock to see the feds taking this seriously. But boy, are they ever. On May 16, the Secret Service is physically escorting Comey, former head of the FBI, to their headquarters for questioning. And it’s not only Comey, but leftist “influencers” who appear equally giddy at the thought of a dead President Trump. 

Take Ed Krassenstein, one of two very diminutive identical twins, who makes his living as a hard left “social media personality.” Ed posted an image of pool balls spelling “8647” with the message “It’s time!”

He even mocked those who predicted the Secret Service would get involved – but those tweets are now deleted.

*Cue sad trombone.* Here is Krassenstein just a few hours later. 

As he himself revealed, the open borders advocate lives in a gated community. Because of course he does.

And here’s a sample of what X users had to say about that. 

Of course, there’s a good portion that thinks it’s really those bad old Republicans who are doing wrong. Threats are like, justified, you know, when your president is like, a fascist? 

Actually, there aren’t that many in support after all. Most are more like this.

Blue State Woke Prosecutor Releases a Reckless Car-Racing Illegal Alien Killer on Community Service

A Democratic prosecutor has released an illegal immigrant teen involved in the fatal accident that killed a 24-year-old community volunteer on probation. The fifteen-year-old Colombian illegal immigrant will only serve two years of probation and 100 hours of community service after a plea deal offered by the woke prosecutor.

According to court documents, the illegal alien male teen, who has not been named due to privacy laws, was driving at 90 miles per hour in a residential area, twice the speed limit of 45 mph. 

He was racing his mother’s uninsured Jeep Cherokee when he T-boned Kaitlyn Weaver’s Volkswagen Jetta waiting at a stop sign, immediately killing her on the scene. 

However, progressive Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden offered the illegal alien a plea deal in exchange for admission of guilt and a promise to attend school at American taxpayers’ cost, and not break any more laws. 

Padden was endorsed by the left’s heavyweights, including the former Democratic presidential primaries candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, the state’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, and Colorado U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet. She also shared photos with the failed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

According to his mother, the speeding teen was supposed to be sent back to Colombia, but has since applied for asylum. 

Meanwhile, Kaitlyn was a model citizen, a psychology graduate who volunteered at a suicide hotline and later worked at a drug rehabilitation center.

Appearing on Fox News, Kaitlyn’s father described her as an “amazing human” who “spent her life trying to help people” but was taken at the prime of her life.

Nonetheless, Arapahoe County Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley condemned the reckless, unlawful behavior and said he believes the “negotiated sentence acknowledges the seriousness of this preventable tragedy.”

However, the prosecutor’s office deflected and blamed “speed” for the death of the 24-year-old social worker.

“We acknowledge Kaitlyn Weaver’s death was the direct result of a crash caused by an unlicensed teenager driving at nearly twice the posted speed limit,” it said in a Facebook post. “This tragic loss is a powerful reminder that it is not just alcohol or drug-impaired driving that takes lives. Driving at dangerous speeds has deadly consequences too, and they are felt by our entire community.”

However, Kaitlyn’s dad blamed the outcome on the collision between immigration laws and the criminal justice system, suggesting that the suspect’s immigration status might have played a role in the lenient sentence.

Progressives have seemingly shied away from sending illegal immigrants to prisons where ICE might pick them up and immediately deport them. 

However, releasing them onto the streets poses a challenge for ICE, as they may require necessary warrants and reasonable grounds to detain them before checking their immigration status. Recently, a County Circuit judge allegedly helped an illegal immigrant escape ICE by ushering him through a non-public door.

“We had a collision where the immigration system and the criminal justice system collided, and now my daughter’s dead,” Kaitlyn’s dad said.

Nonetheless, other teens responsible for deadly road crashes have received harsher sentences, such as 18-year-old Jesse Lloyd, who received 7 years for a vehicle rollover that resulted in a fatality.

However, blue states are notorious for handling illegal immigrants responsible for deadly road accidents with kid gloves. Recently, California released an illegal alien DUI killer, Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano, after serving just 3.5 years of his 10 sentence after killing two Americans. 

The habitual criminal with a lengthy rap sheet was driving at 100 miles per hour while under the influence of alcohol when he crashed into two 19-year-old American lovers.

Fortunately, the Trump administration intervened and slapped new charges on the illegal immigrant after his release, preventing him from returning to the streets where ICE might struggle to find him without the assistance of the sanctuary state, which usually refuses to cooperate.

House GOP Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Codify Trump’s Ban on Transgender Servicemembers

House Republicans will introduce proposed legislation to make President Trump’s directive on transgender servicemembers permanent in line with his “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness” executive order. 

“I am introducing the Readiness Over Wokeness Act, which codifies @POTUS’s January 27, 2025, Executive Order prohibiting military service for transgender individuals and solidifies into law the DoD directive from @SecDef,” tweeted Alabama GOP U.S. Rep. Barry Moore.

The Trump administration recently scored a crucial victory after the Supreme Court ruled in its favor, paving the way for the removal of servicemembers suffering from gender dysphoria. 

Shortly after, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced a voluntary disclosure program for both active duty and reserve servicemembers pending separation.

Now, GOP lawmakers in the lower chamber are working on a draft proposal to permanently ban transgender individuals from joining the military.

Dubbed the Readiness Over Wokeness Act, the bill would not only enhance the military’s readiness and lethality but also save taxpayers’ money.

“A person may not serve as a member of the armed forces if the person has a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibits symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria; or has a history of gender affirming care, including cross-sex hormone therapy or sex reassignment or genital reconstruction surgery as treatment for gender dysphoria or in pursuit of a sex transition,” the proposed legislation states.

It will also authorize the Secretary of Defense to administratively discharge current servicemembers who were barred from serving due to gender dysphoria.

Discharged servicemembers will also not be required to complete their service or reimburse the government for any benefits obtained after joining the military, despite being unable to perform their obligations.

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Rep. Moore explained how individuals with gender dysphoria exploited the military to receive sex change treatment and gender-affirming care, and leave before they could deploy.

“What we had with this trans movement was we had a bunch of people coming in, signing a six-year contract, and then starting the surgeries and starting the hormone replacements …, and then by the time they could really actually serve, they were ready to get out,” said Rep. Moore. “I think in many ways the taxpayers get a much bigger bang for their buck, No. 1. And No. 2, I think that if I’m looking at joining, these guys are really focused on fighting, and if I’m in the foxhole with these guys, these are people I’ve trained with, they’re capable.”

Before his confirmation as Secretary of Defense, Hegseth had described how the military alienated the core fighting demographics in favor of transgender individuals. “…and in trying to cater to that, they lost the boys in Tennessee and Kentucky and Oklahoma. The traditional dudes who did it because they wanted, they loved their country, or they wanted the adventure, or they wanted to try tough things….”

According to the California-based think tank Palm Center, approximately 14,707 servicemembers—of whom 8,980 are active duty and 5,727 are in the reserves—identify as transgender, including 1,850 who identify as men despite having joined as women.

Gabbard Slams Biden-Era Domestic Terrorism Strategy as “Authoritarian Overreach”

Gabbard Slams Biden-Era Domestic Terrorism Strategy as ‘Authoritarian Overreach’

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says the mentality under Biden—where conservatives and citizens with dissenting views were treated like domestic terrorists—was an “abuse of power.”

Gabbard signaled that a 2021 memo empowering the FBI to probe Americans for “concerning non-criminal behavior” is no longer operative.

She said she has ended the domestic terrorism approach of the Biden administration, which was used to justify the targeting of conservative Catholics, gun enthusiasts, and parents who protested school board policies.

According to officials, domestic terrorism was recently removed as a top threat from the intelligence community’s national threat assessment, marking a first step in that transition.

Just The News reports:

Gabbard’s statement came after Just the News reported last week that a June 2021 domestic terrorism policy memo empowered federal agencies like the FBI and Homeland Security Department to open probes on Americans solely if an agent believed they had been involved in “concerning non-criminal behavior.”

The policy, which was shielded from Americans’ view because the document was mostly classified during the Biden years, substantially lowered the decades-long standard that agents opening a probe must have a predicate based on a reasonable factual basis that a crime has been committed.

The FBI and DHS were allowed by Biden to open a probe based on a mere concern and without the behavior having to be criminal in nature.

After Gabbard declassified the memo this spring, legal experts and members of Congress raised serious concerns about the change, warning it threatened Americans’ rights and civil liberties. Gabbard signaled in her statement to Just the News that she shared those concerns.

“Disguised as an attempt to curb ‘domestic terrorism,’ Biden’s plan actually functioned as a partisan playbook on how the Biden Administration would weaponize government and intelligence against everyday Americans whose ‘offense’ was supporting President Trump, or daring to disagree with or oppose their policies,” the Trump administration’s top intelligence official said.

“To ensure transparency and accountability, I declassified and released the document, so Americans could see the truth about the Biden Administration’s weaponization and politicization of our government against Americans. This abuse of power that violates our God-given freedoms and civil liberties must end,” Gabbard added.

Officials confirmed the Trump administration has abandoned the tactics enumerated in the 2021 memo crafted by the Biden National Security Council.

“The last administration appeared more focused on investigating Americans for their opinions than addressing actual criminal activity,” the FBI said in a statement from a spokesman.

“Under new leadership, the Bureau is actively reviewing and revising its guidance to ensure our efforts are focused where they belong: on making America safe.”

The directives provided to the Justice Department and FBI under President Joe Biden by the National Security Council said the agencies should “drive…executive and legislative action” to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, rein in “ghost guns,” monitor active-duty service members for possible terrorism recruitment and “mitigate xenophobia and bias.”

The Biden policy also included a plan to counter “xenophobic disinformation” as a basis for investigation by creating the “Disinformation Governance Board” program under DHS that was discontinued in 2022, after being widely criticized as an ersatz “Ministry of Truth” established in the name of national security. Nina Jankowicz, selected to head the board, was widely mocked before the board was disbanded.

For decades, FBI agents have been required to meet stringent requirements for opening criminal and national security investigations, known as a “predicate.”

Before Biden’s term, the predicate for a full investigation required “an articulable factual basis” that “reasonably indicates” a crime or national security threat has or is about to occur, according to the Attorney General’s Guidelines for Domestic FBI Operations.

Lawmakers expressed disbelief that such a change impacting civil liberties was made by Gabbard with so little notice, praising President Donald Trump and Gabbard for declassifying and releasing the memo.

“It’s not surprising. But you’re right. It is shocking,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the chairman of the powerful Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, told Just the News.

Paraphrasing former President Barack Obama, Johnson said, “And again, elections have consequences, and in this case, it’s a very good consequence that now this is coming to light.

“I appreciate Tulsi Gabbard looking up exactly what happened and releasing this information. It’s important the American public understands what government does to it, how it tramples on our constitutional rights,” he added.

Female Colorado Capitol Staffers Intimidated After Bathroom Complaint Against Trans Aide

Colorado Capitol female staffers have raised concerns of potential retaliation after complaining about sharing bathrooms and other private spaces with a transgender individual. They had expressed their security concerns in a letter to House Speaker Julie McCluskie (D-CO) obtained by Fox News.

The female aides stated that the presence of the biological male “created an environment that feels increasingly hostile and unsafe,” making their workday distressing.

“The layout of this restroom – where stall doors obscure who is present and anyone could enter after you – heightens this concern, as there’s no way to know who is sharing the space,” the letter stated.
|
The affected women also told the outlet that the transgender individual was “stalking” and “threatening” them using body language.

However, concerns about potential intimidation and retaliation were raised during a protest against the radical gender ideology on the Capitol steps, attended by the mother of a girl transitioned into a boy without her consent, and Republican State Rep. Scott Bottoms.

Describing biological men’s presence in female bathrooms and other private spaces as sexual harassment, Rep. Bottoms denounced the radical gender ideology. 

“We have legislative aides who filed a complaint because men are in their bathrooms,” said State Rep. Bottoms. “I don’t care what the men call themselves, they are men biologically, and they’re in the bathrooms of women. This is sexual harassment, this is loss of freedom, loss of privacy…”

Rep. Bottoms explained that the aides were being intimidated using a confidentiality agreement that prevents them from speaking out or addressing the media. However, he noted that the confidentiality clause does not apply to the rest of the Democratic leadership, highlighting the party’s double standards. He also disclosed that lawyers were used to intimidate the aides to remain silent.

“They are being squished, being told to be quiet, sit down, shut up and know your place,” Rep. Bottoms said. “When did we go back to that? Women no longer have rights to this [privacy]?”

“We need to reclaim Colorado, … women, … their rights, … their privacy, … their integrity, and the respect that we used to have for women in this state. We don’t have it anymore.”

During the speech, Rep. Bottoms also slammed the proposed Colorado House Bill HB25-1312, which radical Democrats say intends to protect children and their parents from transgender-related discrimination.

Under the proposed legislation, “deadnaming and misgendering” transgender individuals would be classified as discrimination under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, putting parents, teachers, and schools at risk of lawsuits.

It also allows children to choose names other than those officially recognized and fill them in on official forms. It also forces schools to have gender gender-neutral dress codes and allows the state to overlook custody orders from other states if they allow one parent to withhold gender-affirming care.

According to Rep. Bottoms, ordinary Democrats do not support the transgender bill, which is being pushed by radical leftists and Marxist groups, but they are afraid of taking a stand.

Meanwhile, Douglas County Commissioners have passed a resolution against the proposed legislation, essentially becoming a sanctuary for potential victims of the proposed legislation.

“For us, here, remaining silent is no longer an option,” said Commissioner Kevin Van Winkle. “When government intrudes into the home and the family, where government has no business, it’s our duty as Commissioners to at least voice our opposition.”

Al Sharpton Opposes Trump’s Asylum for White South Africans, Calls for “Due Process” While Defending Illegals

Race-baiting leftist cleric Al Sharpton has opposed Trump’s offer to welcome racially persecuted White South African farmers into the United States. South Africa recently signed the Expropriation Act 13 of 2024, allowing the seizure and redistribution of White-owned land, in some cases, without compensation.

White South Africans are also frequently subjected to various racially targeted violent attacks solely due to their race. In 2022, a South African Equality Court ruled that “Kill the Boer – Kill the Farmer” was not hate speech, highlighting the systemic racism subjected to White South Africans.

“What’s happening in South Africa fits the textbook definition of why the refugee program was created. This is persecution based on a protected characteristic — in this case, race. This is race-based persecution,” said White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

However, Sharpton opposed the program that aims to help real victims of racial persecution by demanding due process, while still defending people who entered the country illegally without it.

“President Trump is saying to white Afrikaners of South Africa, ‘I’ll give you refugee status.’ So we’re bringing in white Afrikaners, who we don’t if they’re criminals, we don’t know whether the went through the legal process in South Africa, — but people right here in New York, we’re gonna assume they are all criminals, we’re gonna bring them out, and if the mayor wants to say ‘Wait a minute, let’s have due process,’  [Trump] is going to say ‘Lock him up.’”

The Trump administration is not “assuming” that the illegal immigrants to be deported have criminal backgrounds. Most are from prisons where they are serving sentences for various crimes including rape, murder, and burglary, in addition to being in the country illegally. Every illegal the left has used to try to appear sympathetic on this issue, such as the infamous “Maryland Dad,” has turned out to be a gang member or criminal.

Most Democratic mayors have denied ICE access to prisons to detain these convicted criminals and remove them from the country. For instance, the left criticized Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams for allowing ICE into the Rikers Island jail complex, proving that they did not consider having a criminal background as a disqualifying factor for staying in the United States.

Additionally, White South African farmers cannot leave their home country if they have pending arrests or criminal cases, especially in the heightened atmosphere of racial profiling. Similarly, they can apply for asylum while still in South Africa and be vetted without breaking a single law.

“The U.S. Embassy in Pretoria has been conducting interviews and processing pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order on Addressing Egregious Actions of the Republic of South Africa,” the State Department said. “The Department of State is prioritizing consideration for U.S. refugee resettlement of Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination.” 

During his first term, Trump had a similar program dubbed “Remain in Mexico” or formally Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) that allowed immigrants to apply for asylum without crossing the southern border. However, the Biden administration, which Sharpton strongly supported, reversed the program and allowed everybody into the country without due process.

“It is as blatantly of a double standard that one can get,” Sharpton inadvertently and accurately described himself and the left.

“What is the real policy gonna be? … Are we gonna have due process, or are we just gonna let everybody go, and can the president just give other people, blanket, ‘You’re refugees’? So what’s the difference, Mr. President, between a refugee and a guy who may be a criminal and may not be a criminal?”

Similarly, White South Africans will enter the country through official ports of entry and produce official documents for vetting. Trump also offered to “fast-track” their path to legal citizenship, not a blanket and indefinite illegal stay.
