(LifeSiteNews) — Female sporting events remain one of the key conflicts in the transgender culture war touching nearly every aspect of public life.

On May 4, a trans-identified male won two National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) events at the Liberty League track and field championships, the 400 meters in 55.07 seconds and the 200 meters in 24.14 seconds. Sadie Schreiner, a male who previously went by the name Camden, earlier in the season set the “women’s school record” in the 300 meters at Nazareth Alumni Opener Invitational with a time of 41.80 seconds.

Schreiner was representing the Rochester Institute of Technology. Both of his times would have put him dead last in the men’s events at the same meet but instead were women’s school records, with the 200 time becoming a Liberty League women’s record, exceeding only Schreiner’s previous time of 24.50 from this same season. Schreiner previously competed against fellow males.

Schreiner insists, however, that he has no advantage over female competitors, posting that “Out of all the hate that’s been shared of me ‘cheater’ is the most common word used… In my eyes, the discussion of trans inclusion in athletics shouldn’t even be a debate… As more research is done the more evident this becomes. There’s a reason I’m only as fast as I was in middle school, and the only variable that’s changed over my 9 years of running is my medication.”

MTG’s Efforts to Remove Mike Johnson Fails as Democrats Vote to Save Him– www.westernjournal.com

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia was booed on the House floor Wednesday afternoon after she tried to force a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson.

Greene first vowed to force a motion to force Johnson from power in March, citing deals the speaker had cut with Democrats to fund foreign wars and governments.

Each of those deals ignored the ongoing crisis at the country’s border with Mexico, irking Greene and eventually a number of other House Republicans who supported her plan to oust Johnson.

The Hill reported Greene moved to force a vote on the matter Wednesday. A C-SPAN camera caught the moment Greene introduced her resolution to vacate Johnson.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can breathe a little easier now that more than 80% of his House colleagues put an end to the latest drama gripping Capitol Hill.

Six months after ascending to the speakership, a bipartisan coalition of Democrats and Republicans overwhelmingly voted to table a motion to vacate the chair—the House’s terminology for removing its leader. The final vote was 359-43; seven voted present and 21 others didn’t cast a vote. (See how your representative voted.)

“Hopefully, this is the end of the personality politics and the frivolous character assassination that has defined the 118th Congress,” Johnson said after Wednesday’s vote. “It’s regrettable. It’s not who we are as Americans and we’re better than this. We need to get beyond it.”

Don’t count on it.

BREAKING: Biden vows to withhold congressionally approved military aid to Israel if invasion of Rafah proceeds | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

Excerpt from thepostmillennial.com

President Joe Biden has said that he will withhold approved shipments of military aid to Israel if Israel invades Rafah in the southern part of Gaza. Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu had already vowed to undertake that offensive.

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah… I’m not supplying the weapons,” Biden said to CNN in an interview. “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,” he said.

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” he continued.

Aid has been approved through bipartisan Congressional bills which were then signed by Biden. Biden has now refused to deliver that aid amid growing dissent to Israel’s fight against Palestinian terror group Hamas from his left flank in the Democratic Party.

CDC Scrambled to Cover Up Sudden Deaths of 2 Teens Shortly after Covid Shots, Emails Show– slaynews.com

Officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) scrambled to cover up a study that revealed two teenage boys died suddenly shortly after receiving Covid mRNA shots.

In a study published on February 14, 2022, experts revealed that the two teens both suffered unexpected fatal heart failure after being injected with the experimental mRNA shots.

The study was the first to detail examinations of American children who died of heart failure after COVID-19 vaccination.

However, the study’s paper set off a firestorm within the CDC that led to attempts by agency officials to overrule the medical examiners who examined the boys, internal emails have revealed.

Within hours of the study being published, federal officials scrambled to respond.

Internal CDC emails show officials were worried the paper would harm their efforts to promote the Covid injections to the public.

Apple’s iPad Ad Boasts Of Replacing The Real With The Fake– thefederalist.com

Excerpt from thefederalist.com

If nothing else, Apple’s horrible ad announcing the new iPad Pro has the virtue of being brutally honest. The one-minute clip opens with an old vinyl playing Sonny and Cher’s “All I Ever Need Is You,” and then shows an industrial press slowly crushing an eclectic assortment of old musical instruments, paint and art supplies, and Gen X-era toys and tchotchkes.

In other words, it destroys a bunch of stuff that makes life fun, unique, interesting, and fully human.

After all that old stuff — the quirky objects and sentimental artifacts of the pre-digital era — has been flattened under the inexorable weight of machine technology, the press lifts up to reveal the new iPad Pro. The message is so obvious it hardly needs to be spelled out: This thin digital tablet is supposed to replace — and supersede — all these clunky, analog, obsolete things. All you need, we are made to understand, is this new piece of digital technology, this iPad. The rest, the detritus of the real world, can simply be destroyed.

Apple CEO Tim Cook posted the ad on X and commented, “Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.” (An odd comment, after just showing us all the things it’ll be used to destroy.)

Catholic College Will Honor Abortion Advocate, Allow Him to Give Commencement Speech– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt from www.lifenews.com

A small Catholic college in northwest Indiana will honor the pro-LGBT U.S. ambassador to the Vatican.

Ambassador Joe Donnelly will reportedly keynote Calumet College of St. Joseph’s graduation ceremony this weekend. Donnelly previously served as U.S. Senator from Indiana.

The school does not list Donnelly as a speaker on its website, but the Post-Tribune, a local newspaper, lists him as the speaker. The College Fix left a voicemail with a university official on Tuesday seeking confirmation Donnelly is still the planned speaker.

While senator, he sometimes voted pro-life, including for a 20-week federal limit on abortion. The Democrat regularly voted to protect taxpayer funding of abortion giant Planned Parenthood and supported the LGBT agenda, despite being Catholic.

“I support marriage equality because we are a stronger state and a stronger country when we support inclusion, respect, and equality for all Americans,” Donnelly said in 2018 while running for re-election.

Pastor of Church Vandalized With Pro-Abortion Slogans Prays for Vandal to Accept Jesus– www.lifenews.com

In response to the discovery of explicit pro-abortion graffiti on the doors of a Catholic church in Portland, Oregon on Sunday morning, the church’s pastor prayed for the vandal at Mass and expressed hope during the homily that the vandal would one day become an usher.

Just before Sunday Mass on April 28, explicit pro-abortion graffiti was found sprayed on the sidewalk by St. Patrick’s Church and on the church’s wooden front doors.

Fr. Timothy Furlow, who has been the pastor at St. Patrick’s Church since 2018, asked those at Mass that day to pray for the vandal instead of wrathfully seek justice or harbor hatred.

“You probably saw the graffiti on the way in,” Fr. Furlow began in his homily. “Somebody said, ‘Oh we gotta cover this up.’ I’m like, ‘Nope, I want them to see that.’ And the reason is because it fits kind of perfectly with what the core message of the Gospel is.”

Students for Life Action (SFLAction) will be on the ground in Arizona on Wednesday, beginning an effort to educate voters in the districts of multiple Republican lawmakers who voted to pass HB2677, which removed the recently upheld pro-life laws protecting life early in pregnancy.

SFLAction President Kristan Hawkins said, “When mothers and babies were betrayed by a few Republican leaders, we promised that there would be consequences – today in Arizona, we’re beginning that grassroots ground campaign to hold five Republicans accountable who joined forces with the pro-abortion Democrats and turned their backs on the preborn.”  

Beginning in four districts * (seen below) in the Phoenix area, SFLAction volunteers and staff will walk through the districts of the three House Republicans and two State Senate Republicans who threw their votes behind pro-abortion Democrats, ensuring passage of HB2677.  

The Left is Totally Obsessed With Race– lidblog.com

Excerpt from lidblog.com

Democrats are populated by subgroups with overlapping views: liberals, progressives, socialists, and Marxists. In their eyes, virtually any topic that you can address – the total eclipse in April, for example – has some underlying racial component embedded within it. Not all topics have a racial component, but that is what they propagate on a daily basis.

Leftists want to keep race at the forefront of all public discourse and are on the ever-present lookout for anything which they regard as a transgression when others are referring to minorities. They particularly are focused on anything that a Conservative says, at any time, even if it was 30 or 40 years ago, that to the Left some way represents a slight or lack of respect for minorities, particularly Black Americans.

For these ‘race police’ it’s like a game. They are delighted when they are able to find something, anything, that they can aggrandize to the hilt, have the mainstream media pick up, and whip into a social and cultural frenzy.

The news is a major blow for Democrats hoping to get voters to weigh in on the topic in November, as reported by Politico.

The initiative was defeated in a court ruling by a conservative judge in upstate Livingston County.

The judge questioned the constitutionality of the ballot question.

Excerpt from www.lifesitenews.com

(LifeSiteNews) — William Goodman, a member of the “DC Nine” peaceful pro-life rescuers who are facing an unprecedented 11 years in prison, told LifeSiteNews that no matter what happens as a result of his sentencing next week, it “will be an opportunity to try and love, serve, and obey God.”

With six of his confreres who were found guilty of violating the FACE Act and participating in a “conspiracy against rights” for performing a traditional rescue at an abortion facility in 2020, Goodman has been held in federal custody at the Alexandria Detention Center in Alexandria, Virginia, since late last summer awaiting sentencing by pro-abortion Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.

The sentencing hearings begin next Tuesday, May 14, and conclude on the following Friday.

Fellow rescuer John Hinshaw describes their crime as “attempting to stop the slaughter of late-term babies in the Santangelo abortion mill in Washington, D.C.” Additionally, the importance of these sentences cannot be overstated, since never before has “peaceful civil disobedience faced such legal violence as our federal law enforcement is now practicing!”

On May 7, 31-year-old Bambie Ray Robinson – known by her stage name of “Bambie Thug” – secured a place in the Eurovision final taking place on May 11 in Sweden. Robinson claims to be non-binary and describes her work as “Ouija pop,” with prominent and indeed central aspects of satanic-inspired images, actions and symbols present throughout.

Explaining her stage name, Robinson said that “Bambie Thug is your witchy king antidote to the world” during an interview on YouTube.

Joe Biden seems to be deteriorating fast.

Unfortunately, his “second” — Kamala Harris — also has her own issues. So, it doesn’t make anyone looking at these folks occupying the offices feel at all comforted that they have any idea what they are doing — or that they have the best interests of the United States and its people uppermost in their minds.

We’ve seen a lot of strange word salads and cringeworthy moments from Kamala Harris over the past few years. For example, who can forget her love of Venn diagrams?

Last month, Blaze News focused on a dozen disturbing instances when students got brutally violent with teachers.

Well, half the physical attacks we highlighted were carried out by females — two of whom were only 15 years old at the time.

“It’s so evil; how could you do that to a person? You have a mother and a father; how could you just beat a man until you take off half of his skull?”

One of the trends Blaze News has been noticing over the last several years is the apparent increase in younger and younger kids getting charged with violent crimes — and arguably an even more surprising stat is how many of them are very young females.

What’s more offensive — and, for that matter, illegal? An employee calling a coworker a “gutter b****” and a “queen of the slums”? Or a CEO saying that bringing in a labor union will make the workplace “much slower” and “more bureaucratic”?

The answer is clearly the employee who racially and sexually demeaned his coworker. Yet in President Joe Biden’s administration, the CEO is the one getting punished.

On May 1, a National Labor Relations Board judge ruled that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy violated federal labor law when he said that unionization comes with downsides.

In January, the same NLRB forced Amazon to rehire a worker who insulted his colleague on the grounds that federal labor law protected him.

Georgia Trump Case Could Be Tossed If Willis Is Disqualified– thefederalist.com

Excerpt from thefederalist.com

The Georgia Court of Appeals will consider former President Donald Trump’s appeal of a ruling that allows disgraced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain principal prosecutor in the state election case. If Trump prevails, the case against the presumptive GOP presidential nominee could end as Democrats’ multi-case lawfare campaign continues to fall apart six months before the election.

In March, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee determined Willis, the embattled prosecutor who faced disqualification for an inappropriate relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, could continue to lead the state effort to imprison Trump for opposing election changes in 2020. The judge ruled Willis could remain on the case as long as Wade stepped down from the probe after the government paid more than $650,000 to Wade’s law firm over two years. Willis and Wade allegedly spent money ostensibly meant for Trump’s prosecution on lavish vacations to the Bahamas, Aruba, Belize, and Napa Valley.

Defendants in Willis’s politicized Georgia show trials earlier moved to have the Fulton County DA removed from the case, alleging an inappropriate affair with Wade before Willis’s office hired him. Willis and Wade denied the allegations. The district attorney testified in February that she reimbursed Wade for her share of the costs incurred on their trips together. When pressed in court on proof of reimbursement, Willis declared, “The proof is what I just told you.”

House Committee Report Finds Widespread ‘Misconduct’ In Union Elections By Government Labor Board– dailycaller.com

Excerpt from dailycaller.com

The National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) expansion of mail ballot elections has led to widespread mismanagement, misconduct and procedural irregularities by the agency, according to a report released Thursday by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

The NLRB issued a decision in November 2020 expanding regional agency directors’ ability to order that union elections operate by mail rather than the traditional manual ballot due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the decision, voter turnout has decreased while both institutional issues, like employees interfering in elections, and integrity issues, like inappropriate voter solicitation and the number of lost or voided ballots, have increased, according to the report.

The investigation spawned as a result of a former NLRB employee cooperating with the committee to detail instances covering 15 different NLRB regions and 33 representation cases, according to the report.

“Through blatant misconduct that resulted in the disenfranchisement of workers participating in union elections, the NLRB has outright corrupted its once gold standard of secret ballot, onsite elections,” Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx said in a statement to the DCNF. “By broadening its own authority and instituting a series of administrative changes that emboldened its own cadre of regional directors, the agency took risks that alienated voters. As this report makes clear, the NLRB’s administration of mail ballot elections has become deeply fraught with procedural misconduct and gross irregularities.”

Former President Donald Trump called for unity after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) forced a vote on her motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday. He called on House Republicans and Johnson to unify and have discipline going into the 2024 election.

After Greene went to the floor with the motion to vacate Johnson, which was later killed in a vote to table, Trump posted his response to Truth Social.

“I absolutely love Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s got Spirit, she’s got Fight, and I believe she’ll be around, and on our side, for a long time to come. However, right now, Republicans have to be fighting the Radical Left Democrats, and all the Damage they have done to our Country,” he said.

“With a Majority of One, shortly growing to three or four, we’re not in a position of voting on a Motion to Vacate. At some point, we may very well be, but this is not the time,” Trump added. “We are leading in the Presidential Polls by a lot, both Nationally and in the Swing States.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) finds herself facing a renewed wave of opposition as House Republicans prepared a second censure resolution on Tuesday over anti-Semitic remarks. Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) initiated the resolution in response to Omar’s comments at Columbia University, where she referred to Jewish students as “pro-genocide.”

This comes as a series of criticisms aimed at Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, over her rhetoric surrounding Israel and Jewish people. The four-page resolution aims to reprimand Omar for her “recent hateful comments and history of antisemitism.”

“She is perpetuating and increasing antisemitism in our country,” Bacon said after submitting the resolution. “The House of Representatives needs to take a strong stand and condemn these divisive and racist remarks that she has made, and those who continue to excuse her egregious behavior must stop.”

Bragg’s prosecution of Trump violates this important legal doctrine– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt from www.washingtonexaminer.com

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is prosecuting former President Donald Trump for unlawful federal political contributions and the subsequent concealment of those contributions. However, it is the Federal Election Commission, not the Manhattan DA, that is charged by Congress with enforcing federal campaign laws.

By taking federal law into his own hands, Bragg is way out of order. What’s more, he has run afoul of a somewhat obscure but vital doctrine created by the Supreme Court specifically to prevent such prosecutorial overreach.

This rule, known as the “primary jurisdiction doctrine,” says that a court should stay or dismiss a claim when it implicates issues within the special competence of a federal administrative agency. In this case, federal campaign finance violations are within the special competence of the FEC, not the Manhattan DA. Thus, the right thing to do is for Bragg to defer to the federal government on statutes it enforces.

Chicago will host the 2024 Democratic National Convention from August 19 to 22.

Chicago also has a ton of illegal aliens since it is a sanctuary city.

Optics are everything in politics. Could this be why Mayor Brandon Johnson wanted to open a new illegal alien shelter on the South Side?

Alderman Nicole Lee of the 11th Ward balked at the idea, especially after reading between the lines:

A large empty building nestled between two sets of railroad tracks in an 11th Ward industrial area on the South Side was under consideration to house migrants.

Last week, the Johnson administration informed Alderman Nicole Lee the plan was to move 900 new arrivals out of the Standard Club in the Loop into a new location

“In our initial conversion, there was mention of the DNC. And, like, the timing of it all felt a little odd to me. I don’t, first of all, I don’t think that we should be moving people to hide them. I hope that’s not what the actual case is,” Lee said.

Excerpt from conservativeroof.com

A fresh proposal from House Republicans aims to mandate that anyone charged and found guilty of engaging in illegal activity on a college campus be sent to Gaza for a minimum of six months.

Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, unveiled the bill on Wednesday, joined by fellow Republican Representatives Randy Weber of Texas and Jeff Duncan of South Carolina. The move comes in reaction to the continued protests against Israel taking place on college campuses throughout the nation.


Some of these protests have escalated into violence, resulting in confrontations between law enforcement and demonstrators, along with the arrest of hundreds of activists on numerous college campuses.

Ogles’ bill text doesn’t explicitly reference Israel or anti-Israel organizations. Instead, it focuses squarely on illegal behavior occurring on college campuses after October 7, 2023, a date marked by the surprise invasion of Israel by Hamas militants, resulting in the tragic loss of over 1,000 lives.

Barron Trump, former President Trump’s youngest son, was named a Florida delegate for this year’s Republican National Convention, marking the 18-year old’s debut into politics.

Barron will serve as one of the 41 at-large GOP delegates to represent Florida at the July convention, where the party is expected to officially nominate his father as its presidential candidate to run against President Biden in November, Republican Party of Florida chairman Evan Power confirmed to The Associated Press.

Trump, who turned 18 earlier this year, joins three of the former president’s other children — Donald Trump Jr., Eric and Tiffany — who were also selected as delegates. NBC News first reported Barron’s selection as a delegate Wednesday.

The Hill reached out to the Florida GOP for further comment.

“We are fortunate to have a great group of grassroots leaders, elected officials, and members of the Trump family working together as part of the Florida delegation to the 2024 Republican National Convention,” Power said in an emailed statement to the AP.
