State’s Demand to Have Boys in Girls’ Sports Escalates

President Donald Trump has fought to protect girls and women in their sporting events, as leftists try to flood the competitions with boys and men who say they are female.

One state has refused to go along with the president’s executive orders, and now is facing an escalated fight because of the agenda demanded by its governor, Janet Mills, a Democrat who publicly defied the president, threatening that she would see him in court.

Earlier, a variety of federal funding programs for the state were blocked by the president, and now the Washington Stand reports the Trump administration has taken legal action to cut off K-12 funding for the state.

It’s over the state’s promotion of transgender agenda points, in which boys and men are allowed in sports created for females.

The report explained, “The Department of Education announced last Friday that it had initiated an administrative proceeding to terminate all K-12 funding to the Maine Department of Education, ‘including formula and discretionary grants,’ over Title IX violations by allowing males who identify as female to compete against and change in front of girls.” (Read more from “State’s Demand to Have Boys in Girls’ Sports Escalates” HERE)

REPORT: Public Health Officials Make Shocking Discovery At Gene Hackman’s Home

The New Mexico Department of Health (NMDH) reportedly discovered that Gene Hackman’s property was infested by rodents.

Authorities carried out an environmental assessment one week after the famous actor and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead in their New Mexico home, according to TMZ. Dead rodents and their nests found in eight detached outbuildings on Hackman’s property, the health report said. Authorities discovered rodent feces in three garages, two casitas and three sheds situated on the premises. Three detached garages held a living rodent, a dead rodent and a rodent nest.

There were two vehicles on Hackman’s property that also had indications of rodents and nests with observations of the animals noted in the health report.

Investigators located live traps installed in the outbuildings, indicating that the infestation was a continuing problem for the star, and Hackman and Arakawa were likely aware of the issue, according to TMZ.

The outlet reported that the NMDH conducted a risk assessment March 5 to ensure first responders attending the scene and family members who had made their way onto the property were not at risk. The primary residence was deemed to be low-risk, with no indications of rodents inside the home, according to TMZ.

Hungarian Constitutional Amendment Rejects Transgenderism

The Hungarian parliament delivered a rejection of transgenderism on Tuesday with the passage of a constitutional amendment against the legal recognition of gender transition.

The amendment, which also includes articles addressing matters such as the sale of drugs within the country, passed by a 140-21 margin in the National Assembly.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán touted the move on social media, saying, “Hungary’s constitutional amendment is now law. We’re protecting children’s development, affirming that a person is born either male or female … . In Hungary, common sense matters.”

Although the Hungarian government has not yet released an English translation of the Hungarian text, a translation from the online translator service DeepL provides a rough picture of what will go into effect. Statements by Hungarian politicians support the relative accuracy of the translation.

One article of the amendment states, “the Hungarian legal system does not recognize any change in the sex of birth,” per the translation.

Rare Earth Minerals Affected by China Export Ban Used in EVs, Green Energy, and Military Tech

China has restricted the export of several crucial rare earth minerals to the United States in response to President Donald Trump’s tariff increases.

The restrictions come up short of a total ban, but they will probably slow the delivery of minerals needed by defense, energy, and electronics companies.

The term “rare earth minerals” is sometimes used broadly to refer to all valuable or unusual minerals, but in fact it refers to a specific list of 17 metallic elements. Fifteen of them are lanthanides, meaning they occupy a specific region of the periodic table of the elements that begins with lanthanum (atomic number 57). The lanthanides all share similar atomic structure and chemical behavior, so the grouping is not arbitrary.

The other two rare earth minerals are scandium and yttrium. They are collectively known as “rare earths” simply because the scientists who first discovered them believed they must be rare in nature, as they were difficult to identify. For example, the name of lanthanum comes from a Greek word that means “hidden,” and it was discovered by a chemist who was studying strange impurities in another mineral.

Explorers over the past 150 years discovered that some of the “rare earths” can actually be found in abundance by digging into the Earth’s crust. Many of those abundant deposits are under the control of Communist China – affording China a near-monopoly on processing and refining these metals.

Trump White House Plans Bold Return to Faith for Holy Week After Biden’s Trans Day of Remembrance

In a striking contrast to the often secular tone of past administrations, the White House under President Donald Trump is planning an “extraordinary” Holy Week, emphasizing Easter’s spiritual and cultural significance. As the nation prepares to mark the holiest days on the Christian calendar, Trump ensures the observance receives the reverence it deserves—offering a clear nod to the values of faith, tradition, and religious liberty that remain central to millions of Americans.

“President Trump promised millions of Christians across the country that he would create a White House Faith Office, and he delivered on that promise,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “The White House Faith Office has put together an extraordinary weeklong celebration for Holy Week ahead of Easter Sunday.”

According to the new White House Faith Office, President Trump will attend several events to celebrate and honor the holiest day of the year leading up to Easter. The president is scheduled to mark Holy Week through various events, including a special video message, hosting a pre-Easter dinner, and an Easter service for White House staff.

“The newly created White House Faith Office is grateful to share that President Trump will honor and celebrate Holy Week and Easter with the observance it deserves,” faith director of the White House Faith Office Jennifer Korn said, adding that it “will be a special time of prayer and worship at the White House to be shared with Americans celebrating the week leading up to Resurrection Sunday.” (Read more from “Trump White House Plans Bold Return to Faith for Holy Week After Biden’s Trans Day of Remembrance” HERE)

Trump Repeatedly Insults CNN Reporter in Oval Office Over Deportation of El Salvadoran National: ‘Why Can’t You Just Say That?’ (VIDEO)

President Trump took several shots at CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins as she peppered him with questions in the Oval Office Monday over the wrongful deportation of an El Salvadoran national who the US Supreme Court ruled should be returned to the United States for now.

Trump repeatedly needled Collins, who is also the network’s White House correspondent, including calling her a “low-rated anchor” and slamming CNN’s credibility as he took questions alongside El Salvador President Nayib Bukele.

Collins wanted answers about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was removed to the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), the Central American country’s hellhole megaprison, last month under the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act.

The Trump administration has claimed Abrego Garcia was a member of the violent MS-13 gang, but the US Supreme Court directed the White House to “facilitate” his release from the prison on April 10.

Then Trump tapped Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller to speak up while taking another shot at Collins’ employer. (Read more from “Trump Repeatedly Insults CNN Reporter in Oval Office Over Deportation of El Salvadoran National: ‘Why Can’t You Just Say That?’” HERE)

Sarah Palin Responds to Kristi Noem Threat, “Or What?”

President Trump’s U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem continues to be harassed by political pundits on both sides of the aisle.

Some have critiqued the ensembles she wears when she joins law enforcement officers (MAGA star Megyn Kelly called Noem “Agent Cosplay”) and for posing with immigrants deported from the U.S. to a mega prison in El Salvador (Ret. Vice Admiral Michael Franken said Noem violated the 4th Geneva Conventions).

Former Alaska Governor and 2008 GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin this week objected to Noem declaration that all Americans will need a Real ID to fly.

Noem announced on X: “Starting May 7, you will need a Real ID to fly. Real IDs make identification harder to forge, thwarting criminals and terrorists. If you plan to fly, make sure you get a Real ID so you won’t be denied from your flight or face travel delays!”

Trump Launches Investigation Into Colleges Over Transgender Fencing Scandal

A special administration task force formed by President Donald Trump has launched investigations into the University of Maryland and Wagner College after they failed to protect a female athlete penalized for refusing to compete against a male who identifies as a female, The Daily Wire can first report.

The Title IX Special Investigations Team — a joint Education Department and Justice Department project — launched a directed investigation Monday into the University of Maryland over allegations that it not only allowed a male athlete to compete in the women’s category of the USA Fencing Tournament, but also allowed that male athlete to use women’s-only intimate facilities.

The Special Investigations Team is also investigating Wagner College for its own practices and polices that allegedly allowed that male to compete in female sports and to use female intimate spaces.

Both colleges received letters from the Title IX Special Investigations Team on Monday, The Daily Wire has learned.

Officials black-carded and booted 31-year-old Stephanie Turner from a tournament at the University of Maryland for refusing to compete against Redmond Sullivan, a male who identifies as a woman and who formerly competed against males. USA Fencing allowed Sullivan, who competes for Wagner College, to compete in the women’s tournament, the organization confirmed to The Daily Wire.

‘You Can’t Unsee It!’ Mind-Blowing Double and Triple Meaning in 1 Resurrection Verse

As millions of believers commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, they may be stunned to learn one of the most famous Bible verses dealing with the event is actually packing additional meanings that make the episode even more spectacular.

This according to a Christian author who is shining more light on the content of Scripture.

The line in question is from the beginning of the 20th chapter of the Gospel of John where it states: “On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb” (John 20:1 CSB).

“On the physical level, most people already understand what’s happening in this passage,” says Joe Kovacs, author of the best-seller, “Reaching God Speed: Unlocking the Secret Broadcast Revealing the Mystery of Everything.”

“There’s a believing woman in the person of Mary Magdalene arriving at the tomb of Jesus early Sunday morning and she sees the rock had been removed from the tomb.

“But when we open our spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear, this verse is broadcasting a mind-blowing double and triple meaning that sums up the phenomenal message of the Scripture in one single sentence. Once you understand it, you can’t unsee it!” (Read more from “‘You Can’t Unsee It!’ Mind-Blowing Double and Triple Meaning in 1 Resurrection Verse” HERE)
