Biological Man Wins Two Girls Jumping Events, Qualifies For State Championship For Second Year In A Row

/0 Comments/in , /by

A biological male has clinched a return to California’s girls state track championship for the second straight year, winning two jumping events at the postseason meet that decides who advances.

AB Hernandez, a senior at Jurupa Valley High School, captured the long jump at 19 feet, 3.5 inches and the triple jump at 40 feet, 4.75 inches Saturday at the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Masters meet in Moorpark, Sports Illustrated reported. Hernandez also tied for fourth in the high jump at 5 feet, 4 inches. All three results landed inside the qualifying window and sent Hernandez to the state final.

The CIF revived a rule from last spring that awards second-place girls a gold medal and a place on the top step beside a transgender competitor who finishes ahead of them, according to MyNewsLA. Any athlete who places among the top six in an event earns a spot at the state meet, scheduled for May 29 and 30 in Clovis.

The qualification stretches the story into a second year, Fox News reported. Crean Lutheran senior Reese Hogan, a frequent rival and a high jump favorite, missed the cut in that event and buried her face against her father after her last attempt.

Speaker Johnson Calls off Vote on Iran War Resolution that was on the Verge of Passing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republicans struggled Thursday to find the votes to dismiss legislation that would compel President Trump to withdraw from the war with Iran, delaying planned votes on the matter into June.

The House had scheduled a vote on a war powers resolution, brought by Democrats, that would rein in Trump’s military campaign. But as it became clear that Republicans would not have the numbers to defeat the bill, GOP leaders declined to hold a vote on it. It was the latest sign of the slipping support in Congress for a war that Trump launched more than two months ago without congressional approval.

“We had the votes without question and they knew it, and as a result they’re playing a political game,” said Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), who sponsored the bill.

Republicans in the Senate are also working to ensure they have the votes to dismiss another war powers resolution that advanced to a final vote earlier this week, when four GOP senators supported the resolution and three others were absent from the vote.

The actions by congressional leaders showed Republicans are struggling to maintain political backing for Trump’s handling of the war. Rank-and-file Republicans are increasingly willing to defy the president over the conflict.

US Indicts Former Cuban President Raúl Castro over 1996 Downing of Planes

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal prosecutors on Wednesday charged former Cuban President Raúl Castro with ordering the 1996 shootdown of civilian planes operated by Miami-based exiles, a major escalation of pressure by the Trump administration on the socialist government. President Donald Trump has set a calamitous energy blockade on the island and has been threatening military action ever since U.S. forces captured the Cuban government’s longtime patron, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Two police officers who helped defend the U.S. Capitol from an attack by a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters sued Wednesday to block anyone — including Jan. 6, 2021, rioters — from receiving payouts from a new nearly $1.8 billion settlement fund for people who claim to be victims of politically motivated prosecutions. The lawsuit’s filing comes a day after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, during his congressional testimony, wouldn’t rule out the possibility of fund payouts for rioters who assaulted police on Jan. 6.

Also, Trumpscored another win Tuesday against a Republican rival, dislodging Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky’s primary and knocking out one of his most outspoken critics on Capitol Hill. Massie has been a particularly difficult thorn in Trump’s side, pushing for the release of the Epstein files, opposing the war with Iran and voting against Trump’s signature tax legislation last year.

The U.S. government will permanently drop tax claims against Trump, according to a settlement document made public Tuesday, in an extraordinary use of executive power that could effectively help shield the president from further examination of his finances and legal conduct. As part of the settlement deal, the U.S. is “forever barred and precluded” from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons and the Trump organization’s current tax examinations.

Jailed Trump Ally Tina Peters, who Tried to Reverse 2020 Results, Granted Clemency by Colorado’s Dem Governor

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A former Colorado county clerk sentenced to nearly nine years in prison for providing unauthorized access to 2020 election voting data had her sentence commuted Friday by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis.

Tina Peters, who served as Mesa County Clerk during the presidential contest between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, will be released on parole June 1.

She had been convicted in 2024 of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, official misconduct, violation of duty, and failure to comply with secretary of state requirements before being sentenced to eight years and three months in state prison.

Her mandatory release date had been set for 2033, while she would have been eligible for parole in 2028.

Polis told the New York Times that Peters’ commutation was not meant to mollify President Trump — who had repeatedly called for her release while claiming without evidence that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him — but was done because the clerk “was given an unusually harsh sentence.” (Read more from “Jailed Trump Ally Tina Peters, who Tried to Reverse 2020 Results, Granted Clemency by Colorado’s Dem Governor” HERE)

Federal Judge Rules Against Trump Admin Efforts to Verify Arizona Voter Data

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the Trump administration cannot obtain Arizona’s voter registration list as the administration seeks to ensure election integrity across the nation.

Judge Susan Brnovich of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on Tuesday said that the state’s voter registration list is not subject to requests from the U.S. Attorney General.

Brnovich, a Trump appointed-judge, dismissed the case with prejudice because an amended complaint would be “legally futile.”

The dismissal follows after after judges have ruled against the Justice Department’s attempted to obtain at least 30 states and the District of Columbia’s constituents date of birth, address, driver’s license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers.

The Trump administration seeks the data to ensure states are complying with federal election laws and to check the citizenship status of individuals on the voter rolls. (Read more from “Federal Judge Rules Against Trump Admin Efforts to Verify Arizona Voter Data” HERE)

A glamorous Trump aide has been suspended from her job after the Daily Mail exposed her dates with older ‘sugar daddies’ for cash.

Julia Varvaro, 29, was put on leave from her job as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism on Wednesday afternoon, hours after we revealed her shameless money-grabbing antics with a much older boyfriend who gave his name as Robert B.

A Department of Homeland Security source told the Daily Mail: ‘Julia Varvaro is on administrative leave as a result of the investigation and she is no longer serving in her capacity as a Deputy Assistant Secretary at DHS.’

Varvaro’s hunger for money and gifts from older men sparked national security fears.

One of the ‘sugar daddies,’ Robert B, a 57-year-old divorced father told his story to the Daily Mail after meeting Varvaro on a notorious website. (Read more from “Top Trump Terror Official Exposed on ‘Sugar Daddy’ Site” HERE)

Trump Admin Agrees to Fly Pride Flag at Stonewall National Monument

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration on Monday agreed to fly the rainbow pride flag on federal grounds at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City after the National Park Service’s removal of the flag was challenged in a federal lawsuit filed by a coalition of LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.

The Department of the Interior, which oversees NPS, agreed to fly the flag at the site as part of a resolution to the lawsuit filed on Feb. 17 by the Gilbert Baker Foundation, Village Preservation and Equality New York.

The site became the first federal monument dedicated to LGBTQ+ rights in 2016. The pride flag was permanently installed at the site during the Biden administration in 2021, but was removed by NPS in early February.

The move drew sharp criticism from a group of local lawmakers, officials and LGBTQ+ advocates, who rallied at the site on Feb. 12 and installed their own pride flag there to replace the one removed by the government. As the lawsuit moved forward, NPS did not remove the flag that was installed by advocates.

According to court documents, NPS agreed that the pride flag will fly at the site alongside the American flag and the NPS flag. (Read more from “Trump Admin Agrees to Fly Pride Flag at Stonewall National Monument” HERE)

Media, 29 Federal Judges Freak Out Over Rude Words In Dissent Attacking Trans Child Abuse

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Judge Lawrence VanDyke pre-emptively nuked corporate-media pearl-clutching in his recent dissent from a Ninth Circuit decision forcing a nude, female-only Korean spa frequented by minors to admit men in the name of “trans rights.”

“Squirm as we might, I think it’s only fair for our court to have a small taste of its own medicine,” VanDyke wrote. “Sometimes, ‘dignified’ words are employed to mask a legal abomination.”

This was part of VanDyke’s defense for opening his dissent with: “This is a case about swinging dicks. The Christian owners of Olympus Spa — a traditional Korean, women-only, nude spa — understandably don’t want them in their spa. Their female employees and female clients don’t want them in their spa either. But Washington State insists on them. And now so does the Ninth Circuit.” He continues:

You may think that swinging dicks shouldn’t appear in a judicial opinion. You’re not wrong. But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we can all agree that it is far more jarring for the unsuspecting and exposed women at Olympus Spa — someo as young as thirteen — to be visually assaulted by the real thing.

After VanDyke’s dissent was released on March 12, corporate media mimicked his Ninth Circuit colleagues’ fake horror at crude words used to describe abominable realities. (Read more from “Media, 29 Federal Judges Freak Out Over Rude Words In Dissent Attacking Trans Child Abuse” HERE)

Under Trump’s Direction, DOT Moves to Bar Unvetted Foreign Drivers From U.S. Trucking Industry

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration finalized a major safety reform on Wednesday that blocks unvetted foreign nationals from obtaining commercial driver’s licenses, ending a system that allowed tens of thousands of drivers with unknown or dangerous histories to legally operate heavy trucks and buses in the United States. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the rule “ends a safety loophole that has wreaked havoc on our roadways.”

Secretary Duffy unveiled a sweeping new federal rule aimed at shutting down a long‑standing safety loophole that allowed unqualified foreign nationals to obtain commercial driver’s licenses in the United States. The rule, issued under President Donald Trump’s direction, bars states from licensing truck and bus drivers whose driving histories cannot be verified through consular or interagency screening—closing a gap federal officials say has put dangerous, unvetted drivers behind the wheel of 80,000‑pound commercial vehicles and contributed to a series of deadly crashes nationwide.

“For far too long, America has allowed dangerous foreign drivers to abuse our truck licensing systems – wreaking havoc on our roadways. This safety loophole ends today,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said in Wednesday’s announcement. “Moving forward, unqualified foreign drivers will be unable to get a license to operate an 80,000-pound big rig. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are putting the safety of the driving public first. From enforcing English language standards to holding fraudulent carriers accountable, we will continue to attack this crisis on our roads head-on.”

DOT officials say the reforms address safety concerns raised following a series of fatal crashes involving non-domiciled CDL truck drivers. The new rule will enable consular and interagency screening to stop non-qualified drivers from obtaining or maintaining commercial driving permits.
