Riley Gaines Blasts Lia Thomas for Hyping Rule That Would Force States to Allow Men Into Women’s Sports

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines blasted Lia, formerly William, Thomas for backing a Biden administration regulation that would force American states to permit men in women’s sports.

Although it’s personal for Gaines, who had to compete with the male athlete last year, the All-American swim star has also made clear that she wants to help spare future generations of girls and women from having men similarly invade their sports.

Earlier this month, the Biden administration proposed a regulation prohibiting schools and universities that receive federal funding from segregating sports across the board based on biological sex. . .

Thomas came out in support of the proposed regulation in a recent video, in which he appeared dressed in a shirt that said, “Trans athletes belong in sports.” . . .

Accordingly, Thomas called on activists to pressure the Biden administration to push the transgender agenda farther.

Husband and Wife Worship Hindu “God” Every Day for a Year, Then Decapitate Themselves

A husband and wife from India simultaneously decapitated themselves over the weekend using an improvised guillotine rigged in such a way that their severed heads rolled directly into a fire altar as a form of human sacrifice, officials said.

Farmer Hemubhai Makwana, 38, and his wife, Hansaben Makwana, 35, committed the sickening act sometime between Saturday and Sunday in the village of Vinchiya, located in the Rajkot district of the western state of Gujarat, local police said.

“The couple first prepared a fire altar before putting their heads under a guillotine-like mechanism held by a rope. As soon as they released the rope, an iron blade fell on them, severing their heads, which rolled into the fire,” said Vinchiya police sub-inspector Indrajitsinh Jadeja, according to Hindustan Times. . .

Jadeja said investigators were taking statements from relatives and trying to determine whether the twin beheadings were part of a black magic ritual.

The couple had been worshiping the god Shiva — one of the main deities of Hinduism — at an improvised temple they had set up on their property every day for the past year. (Read more from “Husband and Wife Worship Hindu “God” Every Day for a Year, Then Decapitate Themselves” HERE)

Disneyland Will Host First Ever Pride Nite During ‘After Dark’

Disneyland announced late last week that the California-based theme park will host its first-ever Pride Nites as part of the park’s “After Dark” series in June.

The LGBTQIA+ event — dubbed “Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite” — will be the first of its kind to be held in the self-described “happiest place on earth” and will extend for two nights, June 13th and June 15th.

“The first-ever Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite is coming to @Disneyland during Pride Month in June,” Disney tweeted from the brand account. “This separately ticketed event celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community and allies will have themed entertainment, Disney characters, specialty menu items & more.”

A report from ABC News laid out some of the entertainment attendees could expect to take part in during those events, including but not limited to “Pride Night Cavalcade, an Ohana Dance Party in Tomorrowland featuring Stitch, a Pride Night Dance Club at the Rivers of America and a country line dancing event at the Golden Horseshoe.”

The event is also expected to feature a number of favorite Disney characters, who will be available throughout the events to take photos with guests. (Read more from “Disneyland Will Host First Ever Pride Nite During ‘After Dark’” HERE)

The Pushback Against Transanity Continues

. . .Day by day, that pushback continues, as the radical left continues to overplay its hand.

Consequently, the same people who may have been sympathetic to same-sex “marriage” are not sympathetic to transgender activism. To paraphrase, “We didn’t sign up for this!” . . .

A growing number of states have outlawed the chemical castration or gender mutilation of children who identify as trans. While trans activists are calling this genocidal, others with clearer perspectives recognize that this will save many a child from making a terrible and irreversible decision.

In Canada, a male weightlifter signed up as a female in a weightlifting competition and smashed the current record — one set, ironically, by a man who identified as a woman — simply to illustrate the absurdity of the current state of things. You can expect to see more examples like this.

Back here in America, “College swimming champion Riley Gaines says she plans to take legal action after San Francisco State University praised students for ‘peaceful’ protest at an event where she claims she was assaulted and held for ransom.” (Read more from “The Pushback Against Transanity Continues” HERE)

Washington Bill Would Bar Parents From Intervening on Child Gender Transitions

A bill in Washington state would prevent parents from intervening in their child’s decision to receive gender transition treatments.

Senate Bill 5599 would essentially allow host homes for runaway youth to house minors “without parental permission.” The host homes would also not be required to notify parents of their child’s whereabouts or tell them if they are undergoing gender transition procedures “if there is a compelling reason not to, which includes a youth seeking protected health services.” Per Fox News:

The “protected health care services” included “gender-affirming care,” which for minors arbitrarily included anything prescribed by a doctor to treat dysphoria, the bill said.

“Gender affirming treatment can be prescribed to two-spirit, transgender, nonbinary, and other gender diverse individuals,” the bill stated.

For minors, “affirming care” typically included puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries. It was unclear which services would be approved under the bill.

Plus-Size Airline Passenger Demands Free Seats and Bigger Bathrooms in Petition to FAA

A plus-size airline passenger has started an online petition demanding change from airlines when it comes to passenger accommodations for people who are larger than others.

In a Change.org petition titled “Demand for the FAA to Protect Plus-Sized Customers,” petition originator Jae’lynn Chaney, a content creator from Vancouver, Washington, has several requests for change when it comes to larger individuals flying safely and comfortably.

“Air travel should be comfortable and accessible for everyone, regardless of size,” Chaney wrote in her petition. . .

Offering a potential solution, she said, “Many airlines also oversell a percentage of seats on flights, resulting in available seats that could be used to accommodate passengers who need additional room.”

Chaney added, “Implementing policies to accommodate plus-size passengers may come with associated costs, but these costs must be weighed against the benefits of creating a more welcoming and inclusive travel experience.” (See Chaney speak about her petition in the Instagram video, below.)

On Cusp of Presidential Run, Florida Gov. DeSantis Signs Ban on Abortion After 6 Weeks

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who will need the support of evangelical voters if he enters the 2024 Republican presidential race, signed a bill Thursday evening imposing one of the nation’s strictest abortion limits.

The Heartbeat Protection Act was passed by the Republican-led Florida House earlier Thursday in a 70-40 vote and headed to the governor’s desk. Mr. DeSantis gave his approval after having signaled last month that he would sign it into law.

“We are proud to support life and family in the state of Florida,” he said.

The measure bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, with some exceptions, aligning Florida with a dozen other Republican-led states that have moved to significantly restrict abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the issue to states.

Mr. DeSantis’ signing the bill will encourage the Republican Party’s pro-life evangelical base, which could help propel him in the early primary contests. (Read more from “On Cusp of Presidential Run, Florida Gov. DeSantis Signs Ban on Abortion After 6 Weeks” HERE)

Attacks on Churches Surged in First Quarter of 2023, Report Finds

Attacks on churches escalated in the first quarter of 2023 consistent with a years-long trend of rising vandalism, arson and shootings, none worse this year than the deadly rampage at the Covenant School in Nashville.

The Family Research Council’s supplemental first-quarter update to “Hostilities in Churches,” its December report, recorded 69 attacks on churches from January to March, nearly three times the number carried out against houses of worship during the same period in 2022.

“If this rate continues, 2023 will have the highest number of incidents of the six years FRC has tracked,” the conservative organization said in the report released Monday.

The vast majority of the incidents were vandalism. The report identified 53 episodes of property destruction and graffiti; 10 incidents of arson, arson attempts or fires with unknown causes; three gun-related incidents; three bomb threats; and two other attacks. Some incidents fell in more than one category.

The attacks occurred in 29 states, led by North Carolina, which saw seven episodes, followed by Ohio and Tennessee with five each. There were no incidents reported in 21 states or the District of Columbia. (Read more from “Attacks on Churches Surged in First Quarter of 2023, Report Finds” HERE)

What the Devil? New Disney Show Focuses on Teen-Girl Sex With Satan

Disney has moved deeply and quickly to change its products, which for decades were entertainment for children, to indoctrination in the LGBT ideology.

It has built new story lines around LGBT characters, has openly battled with Florida over the state’s plan to protect young children in school from inappropriate sex instructions, has even put warning labels on some older projects to advise that they do not any longer meet the requirements of the company for being politically correct.

Now it’s taking an even bigger step: It’s new programming on Disney+ will feature a teen who falls in love with the devil. . .

The report explains the new show is “Pauline” and the main character, 18, “becomes pregnant – from a one-night stand” with “Lukas” the devil.

“With school stress, the climate crisis and the downfall of society weighing heavily on her mind, something she doesn’t need at all right now is catching feelings, especially not for her one-night stand Lukas, who, as it turns out, is the devil himself,” the report explained.

School Board Keeps Policy That Hides Students’ Gender Transitions From Parents Despite Pending Litigation

A California school board voted Thursday to keep a school policy which directs teachers to keep a student’s gender transition a secret, despite pending litigation over the resolution.

In a 3-2 vote, Chico Unified School Board decided to keep “Administrative Regulation 5145.3,” which requires educators to keep a student’s change in pronouns or name confidential unless the student gives written permission for their gender change to be shared. In January, Aurora Regino filed a lawsuit against the Chico Unified School District after a counselor allegedly helped her daughter secretly transition genders.

“I’m still in awe about what I saw last night and how the Board allowed people to heckle and bully parents who were speaking about the right to be involved in their own children’s lives,” Regino said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This decision is devastating for parents not only here in our community but also across the country. The next step to fight back is legal action and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

The Center for American Liberty filed the lawsuit on behalf of Regino after she discovered her 10-year-old daughter had begun to transition genders at school. A school counselor, whom Regino never met, had allegedly advised Regino’s daughter that she was a boy and convinced the girl to use he/him pronouns and a male name at school, the lawsuit stated.
