Arizona Federal Judge Temporarily Rules Males Can Compete in Girls’ Sports

Last week, a federal judge in Tucson, Arizona, ruled in favor of the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction blocking a state law that would prevent males from participating in girls’ sports. Arizona’s Save Women’s Sports Act was passed in 2022 and signed into law by then-Gov. Doug Ducey, ensuring that “…athletic teams or sports designated for ‘females,’ ‘women,’ or ‘girls’ may not be open to students of the male sex.”

Prior to the law’s passage in 2022, the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) had a policy allowing males to play on girls’ sports teams if they submitted a request that was approved by a “committee of medical and psychiatric experts, and consistent with AIA health and safety policy and if not motivated by an improper purpose.”

Arizona is not the only state to pass a law protecting girls’ sports. At least 20 other states have passed similar laws, most of which are also facing legal challenges. . .

However, the order, written by Obama-appointed Judge Jennifer Zipps, makes numerous “findings of facts and conclusions of law,” most of which sound like gobbledygook pulled straight from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) website.

According to Judge Zipps, the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claims that the Arizona law is unconstitutional because the two transgender plaintiffs, 11 and 15 years old, respectively, have taken medication that prevents them from going through male puberty.

Woman Who Disappeared After Claiming to See Baby on Side of Road Admits the Truth

Carlee Russell, the Alabama woman who went missing and told a bizarre tale about seeing a toddler on the side of a freeway and being abducted, lied about the whole thing, authorities said Monday.

Russell’s attorney, Emery Anthony, emailed a statement to the Hoover Police Department stating Russell admitted to not seeing a baby on the road and was not a missing person, police Chief Nicholas Derzis told reporters.

“My client did not have any help in this incident. This was a single act done by herself,” the statement said. “My client was not with anyone or any hotel with anyone from the time she was missing. My client apologizes for her actions to this community, the volunteers who were searching for her, to the Hoover Police Department and other agencies as well and to her friends and family.”

Derzis said authorities were talking with local prosecutors about the possible filing criminal charges against Russell. He said a meeting was scheduled between investigators and Anthony on Tuesday to discuss what happened to his client during the 49 hours she couldn’t be found.

“We still don’t know what happened in those 49 hours, where she was. Did she have any help? We have no idea,” Derzis said. (Read more from “Woman Who Disappeared After Claiming to See Baby on Side of Road Admits the Truth” HERE)

Here’s How NYT Covered a Story About a Teen Who Aborted, Then Burned Her Baby

The New York Times (NYT) hid gruesome facts about a Nebraska teen, who aborted her near-full-term baby at home before burning and burying the fetus, to try and spin the story about abortion rights.

Then-17-year-old Celeste Burgess was nearly 30 weeks pregnant when she took an abortion pill her mother purchased to end the pregnancy. The Food and Drug Administration permits the pill for the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, while the abortion was past the 24-week mark, which is when the baby is considered able to live outside the womb.

Burgess was not charged with violating the state’s abortion law, but was instead charged for what she did after. Burgess pleaded guilty to removing or concealing human skeletal remains after she admitted to giving birth to the stillborn baby before burying it with her mother. Authorities said the women later dug the remains up, drove them to a different location and buried them again. A man who helped the women bury the baby told authorities the women tried to burn the fetus. The fetus’ body had “thermal injuries,” The Times reported.

But The Times hid the gruesome facts from its headline and lede paragraph, instead framing the sentencing as targeting women for having abortions.

“Nebraska Teen Who Used Pills To End Pregnancy Gets 90 Days In Jail,” the headline read. The sub-headline simply said the defendant and her mother were “charged last year after the police obtained their private Facebook messages.” (Read more from “Here’s How NYT Covered a Story About a Teen Who Aborted, Then Burned Her Baby” HERE)

Baby Carried to Safety by Stray Dog After Being Abandoned in Trash

A stray dog was found carrying an abandoned baby girl who had been ditched inside a garbage bag left outside a municipal building in Lebanon’s northern city of Tripoli on Wednesday.

A passerby heard the stifled cries of the baby coming from inside the black trash bag, which was being held in the dog’s mouth, and sprang into action, the National reported.

She was first taken to the Islamic Hospital by a bystander before being transferred to the Tripoli Government Hospital.

Pictures circulating online show the infant with abrasions and red bruises across her entire face and body. . .

Some accounts stated that she was believed to be about 4 months old, while others claimed she had been born mere hours before being abandoned. (Read more from “Baby Carried to Safety by Stray Dog After Being Abandoned in Trash” HERE)

Award-Winning Teacher Caught in Bed With Student by Husband

A former award-winning teacher has been sentenced to jail over a sexual assault of a student more than a decade ago.

Iowa Passes Special Session Heartbeat Bill Amid Raucous Protests at Capitol

Iowa lawmakers passed a bill on Tuesday banning most abortions when an unborn child’s heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks into the pregnancy.

The bill was passed after Republican Governor Kim Reynolds called a special session to address abortion after the Iowa Supreme Court blocked the state’s 2018 Heartbeat Act last month. Reynold’s said she would sign the bill on Friday.

“The Iowa Supreme Court questioned whether this legislature would pass the same law they did in 2018, and today they have a clear answer. The voices of Iowans and their democratically elected representatives cannot be ignored any longer, and justice for the unborn should not be delayed,” she said in a statement.

The bill contains several exceptions, including in cases of rape or incest.

Woman Shot in the Head, Killed After Husband Flips off Erratic Driver

A Texas woman was shot in the head and killed in her car Monday when her husband flipped off an erratic driver and the man fired several shots into their vehicle.

Paola Nunez Linares, 37, and her husband were driving in Hurst, a city that is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, just after 9 p.m. Monday when she was shot, police said.

First responders found Linares with a gunshot wound to the head and rushed her to an area hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.

Zane Jones, the slain woman’s husband, said he was driving their minivan when he flipped off a car that was driving aggressively, trying to push his car off the road.

“I looked over at him when I did it, and I thought he was flipping me off too. But it turns out he was holding the gun,” Jones told Fox 4 News. (Read more from “Woman Shot in the Head, Killed After Husband Flips off Erratic Driver” HERE)

A 9-year-old boy died Saturday in a drive-by shooting during his grandma’s birthday party in Chicago after four to six shots were fired.

Ex-Team USA Gymnastics Fiend Larry Nassar Stabbed 8 Times in Neck, Back and Chest While in Prison

Child molester Larry Nassar was stabbed multiple times in the federal prison where he was sent to rot for sexually assaulting hundreds of gymnasts, including gold medal-winning Olympians.

Nassar, 59, was stabbed twice in the neck, twice in the back and six times in the chest in the Sunday afternoon attack in the Federal Correctional Complex Coleman in Central Florida, a union official told The Post.

He was listed in stable condition despite suffering a collapsed lung, said Local 506 president Joe Rojas, a New York native who’s worked at the prison for nearly 30 years. . .

Still, the union leader stressed that while Nassar was listed as being in stable condition, that could change given that he appears to have been “hit in vital organs” with what was likely an unsanitized makeshift metal weapon. . .

So far, it is unclear “how it happened or why it happened,” the union president said — while noting the notorious pedophile usually only mingles with other sex offenders. (Read more from “Ex-Team USA Gymnastics Fiend Larry Nassar Stabbed 8 Times in Neck, Back and Chest While in Prison” HERE)
