Former Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer awarded $310,000 after being falsely accused of sexual assault

Former Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has been granted nearly $310,000 in a default judgment against Lindsey Hill, the San Diego woman who falsely accused him of sexual assault in 2021. The ruling stems from Hill violating the terms of a 2023 settlement agreement meant to resolve lawsuits they filed against each other.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Bauer filed a complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming Hill breached the deal by falsely claiming online and in 22 other separate instances that she had received a financial payout from him as part of the settlement after she was indicted on charges of On Monday, Judge Daniel Crowley ruled in Bauer’s favor, ordering Hill to pay him $309,830.

With the two lawsuits from 2021, Bauer suing Hill for defamation and Hill suing him for sexual assault and battery, they both agreed not to pay each other. Despite not being paid by Bauer, Hill sent an email to Bauer’s attorneys saying that she would get a payout of $300,000 from an insurance policy.

She subsequently claimed on social media after the settlement that Bauer “handed back an insurance sum to me that was meant for him in order for me to drop my countersuit.” Bauer sued her in October for the claim, as well as the other instances of her claiming that Bauer had to send her a payout.

As part of the 2021 settlement, Hill as well as those representing her were barred from saying Bauer or any representative “paid her any money as consideration for the settlement,” and each violation would be $10,000.

“Because Hill has a long history of making false and defamatory claims against me on social media, I was concerned that Hill would falsely claim that I paid her to resolve the lawsuit,” Bauer said of the settlement.

President Trump Blasts Gavin Newsom, Says “Large Scale Fines” Incoming After Biological Male Steals California Girls’ Track and Field Finals

President Trump put California Governor Gavin “Newscum” on notice that he is imposing fines on the state of California in response to a male high school student winning two state titles in female track and field competitions.  

President Trump signed a landmark executive order in February to ensure that biological men could not compete in women’s sports. But California and other blue states have decided to defy Trump’s order and continue to allow men to compete against women.

“As Governor Gavin Newscum fully understands, large scale fines will be imposed!!!” the President said on Truth Social shortly after midnight on Tuesday.

This follows a warning from the President last week that the state is breaking the law and that “large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to.”

“This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!” he added, noting that Governor Newsom has admitted that it’s unfair to allow boys in girls’ sports but allowed it to happen anyway.

‘Cowardice’: Male student ‘frequently switches gender throughout day’ to ogle girls in shower despite competing in boys’ sports

The Defense of Freedom Institute (DFI) filed a federal civil rights complaint against the South Colonie Central School District (SCCSD) in New York over a male student who allegedly frequently “switches gender identity throughout the day” to watch girls change in bathrooms and locker rooms.

DFI’s complaint alleges the high school boy competes on the boys’ track and field team and wears the male uniform, but claims a transgender identity during the school day to access the girls’ facilities. Several girls have reported the boy to school officials for “staring at them” while they changed, but the Title IX complaint alleges the school showed “deliberate indifference to that student-on-student harassment.”

The district told the Daily Caller News Foundation it was “unable to comment on individual student matters due to privacy laws” but “can confirm that the district responded to this situation accordingly.” SCCSD also cited several state laws that require schools to accommodate “gender identity.”

The Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) and the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), for instance, prevent discrimination based on gender identity. Assembly Bill A5240A also requires all single-occupancy bathrooms to be designated gender neutral in schools and most other public establishments.

“The filing of a complaint or an investigation into a complaint does not change the district’s approach or procedures,” a spokesman for the district added. “All concerns raised were addressed through the proper channels, and students were offered reasonable accommodations as needed.”

“My daughter and her teammates have a right to feel safe in their own locker room,” Kevin Martin, the father of a student at SCCSD, said in a statement to DFI. “South Colonie refused to protect them and told them to accommodate the boy instead. That’s not fairness—it’s cowardice. I never thought I’d have to file a federal complaint just so my daughter could change clothes in a girls’ locker room without being stared at by a male student.”

The Tide Is Turning Against The Transgender Takeover Of Women’s Sports

In February, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning transgender athletes (men pretending to be women) from participation in publicly funded women’s sporting events.  “We will not allow men to beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls. From now on, women’s sports will be only for women,” Trump said at the signing ceremony, standing at a podium flanked by female athletes. “With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over.”

The shift in public sentiment by the end of 2024 was palpable.  The western world was being force fed a steady diet of trans propaganda that bordered on worship.  The public could not go anywhere without being inundated with LGBT flags and imagery.  For a minority that represents less than 1% of the global population, the level of funding and political power behind them has been astonishing.   

The proclamation that trans people were a special and privileged class and their feelings had to be protected at all costs was simply too much.  The campaigns to control American speech, indoctrinate American children in public schools and insert men into women’s spaces inspired widespread anger.

Trump’s order was important in changing the discourse on the transgender issue in political terms, but the grotesque societal stain left behind by a decade-long invasion of transgender ideology into American culture will take a bit more effort to wash out.  Don’t shine a black light on America’s sheets, you won’t be happy with what you find.

Most critics of men using the trans issue as a way to sneak into women’s bathrooms, locker rooms and athletics have noted that women and their families will have to step up and fight back if they ever hope to save female spaces from being dominated by mentally ill dudes in wigs and makeup.  A common question throughout the early 2020s was “When are the women going to speak up and defend themselves?”

It seems as though this is finally happening.  With women athletes like Riley Gaines leading the charge there has been a noticeable change in tone among women competitors as well as attendees of these sports events.  

Most transgender participation in sports is happening in a handful of leftist holdout states like California, Oregon, Washington and Maine.  However, female athletes and their families have been far less inclined to pretend as if they agree with school policies allowing men to compete. 

One trans athlete, Ada Gallagher (a boy pretending to be a girl), said he and his family are planning to move to Canada because of the backlash.  Ada crushed his female competition in the Oregon State Championship for track and was met with boos from the crowd.  This has inspired the young man and his family to leave the country (instead of simply competing in men’s sports as he should).

WAR ON WOMEN: National Uproar Sparked as Boys Dominate Girls in Two Different States to Steal Track and Field Titles

Boys from two different states sparked a national uproar after destroying their female competition to win track titles.

As Fox News reported, a biological boy named AB Hernandez stole first place in girls’ high jump and triple jump at the state championship on Saturday at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium in Clovis, California. This result was unsurprising after he stormed ahead of his competitors in both categories during the prelims.

Hernandez also finished second in the long jump to Woodrow Wilson High School’s Loren Webster. Webster was the only girl to beat Hernandez in any competition this weekend.

As The New York Post notes, The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) changed its rules on Tuesday after President Trump threatened to withhold funding from the Golden State. The organization ordered that any biological females who lost to a male would not lose their place. This meant no female winner would be ‘displaced’ by Hernandez’ ‘wins.’

This meant Hernandez shared a podium with the rightful winners and placed finishers.

The new rule also allowed an extra girl to compete in each category in which Hernandez was set to perform. Thankfully, this pathetic trick did not win over any women’s rights critics who know the only justice is to have males compete in their own sports, not try to steal female glory.

Of course, CIF officials behaved like total tyrants to those peacefully protesting Hernandez’s participation. Look at what happened to California Outreach Director Sophia Loren when she dared to stand up for the girls at the event.

DOJ launches Title IX probe into California over state law allowing trans athletes to play women’s sports 

The Justice Department opened an inquiry Wednesday into whether a California state law allowing transgender student athletes to compete in women’s sports violates federal Title IX rules against sex discrimination. 

California Attorney General Rob Bonta, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond, the Jurupa Unified School District and the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) were informed of the investigation in “letters of legal notice” sent by the DOJ. 

The CIF oversees high school sports in the state, and the Jurupa Unified School District is home to the school where a transgender track athlete recently won titles in the girls’ long jump and triple jump.

“The investigation is to determine whether California, its senior legal, educational, and athletic organizations, and the school district are engaging in a pattern or practice of discrimination on the basis of sex,” the DOJ said in a statement. 

The probe was opened in response to a lawsuit filed by the families of two girls at a Riverside, Calif., high school, alleging that the state statute “is harming hundreds – if not thousands – of female students by removing opportunities for female athletes to be champions in their own sports, robbing them of podium positions and awards, and creating unsafe and intimidating environments in their bathrooms and locker rooms” — and is at odds with Title IX.

Waste of the Day: Military Owns 100+ Golf Courses

That may be an underestimate. The golf courses have been in watchdogs’ crosshairs for decades, with Sen. William Proxmire (D-WI) calling out the Pentagon in 1975 for spending $14 million per year maintaining 300 golf courses. The number of courses has seemingly fallen since, but the Pentagon has also removed some from its lists or listed separate courses as one facility.

Maintenance costs vary. One Army golf course in Virginia costs around $1 million per year to operate and spent $406,000 replacing golf carts in 2021. MIC.com reported in 2012 that a “very conservative estimate” of annual costs for all the golf courses is $140 million.  

The golf courses are banned from receiving money from Congress and are supposed to fund themselves with membership fees, private donations and other sources of revenue. Still, it’s fair to wonder why private donations to the military help pay for golf instead of actual warfighting capabilities.

There are also ways around the rules. The Government Accountability Office found in 1996 that 40% of military golf courses were losing money and using taxpayer funds to cover their losses.

The U.S. Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington D.C. is technically not part of the DOD, and for years its golf course operated using taxpayer money and 50-cent deductions from military paychecks.

WNBA Investigation Confirms Claims of ‘Monkey Chants’ Targeting Angel Reese Were Another Race Hoax

The WNBA announced on Tuesday that its investigation found no evidence to support claims of “racist fan behavior” at a recent matchup between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever in Indianapolis.

This update comes nine days after the league launched a probe into accusations that Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese had been subjected to “hateful fan comments” during the game.

“We have investigated the report of racist fan behavior in the vicinity of the court during the May 17, 2025 Chicago Sky at Indiana Fever game,” the WNBA said in a statement.

“Based on information gathered to date, including from relevant fans, team and arena staff, as well as audio and video review of the game, we have not substantiated it.”

California Changes Girls’ Track and Field Championship Rules After Trump Threatens Funding Over Trans Athlete

California sports officials changed the eligibility rules of a high school track and field state championship last minute after President Donald Trump called out the state for allowing a transgender-identifying male to snag a victory and disenfranchise female athletes.

The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that the competition will now include the female athletes who did not qualify for the competition, who may have placed higher if the transgender-identifying athlete were not participating. The announcement occurred only hours after Trump posted to Truth Social, threatening to withhold federal funding from the state over the debacle. President Trump said:

California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow “MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.” This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won “everything,” and is now qualified to compete in the “State Finals” next weekend. As a Male, he was a less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable. THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS. Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to. The Governor, himself, said it is “UNFAIR.” I will speak to him today to find out which way he wants to go??? In the meantime I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!

The federation claims it decided to change its policy after the end of Saturday’s Masters Qualifiers round, not after President Trump’s statement.  

“The CIF values all of our student-athletes, and we will continue to uphold our mission of providing students with the opportunity to belong, connect, and compete while complying with California law and Education Code. With this in mind, the CIF will be implementing a pilot entry process for the 2025 CIF State Track and Field Championships,” the federation said in a statement. 

Under this pilot entry process, any biological female student-athlete who would have earned the next qualifying mark for one of their Section’s automatic qualifying entries in the CIF State meet, and did not achieve the CIF State at-large mark in the finals at their Section meet, was extended an opportunity to participate in the 2025 CIF State Track and Field Championships. The CIF believes this pilot entry process achieves the participation opportunities we seek to afford our student-athletes.

The policy change will ultimately allow at least two female athletes to compete for the state title after they lose to a trans-identifying male. The male athlete competing as a girl for Jurupa Valley High School won first place for the triple jump and long jump over the weekend, according to the report.

Supreme Court Overturns Maine’s Censure of Rep. Laurel Libby in Free Speech Ruling Over Trans Athlete Post

The US Supreme Court has stepped in to overturn the Maine legislature’s censure of Republican Representative Laurel Libby, marking a clear win for those opposing legislative punishments aimed at curbing political expression. The 7-2 ruling, issued Tuesday, instructed Maine lawmakers to rescind the sanctions they imposed on Libby over a social media post that identified a transgender high school athlete who had placed first in a girls’ pole vault event.

We obtained a copy of the opinion for you here.

The Court found that Libby’s claim merited immediate relief, stating that her right to be free from censure for speech made in her official capacity was “indisputably clear.” Since February, the censure had effectively stripped Libby of her ability to participate in floor debates or vote on legislative matters unless she apologized, a condition she steadfastly rejected.

Following the ruling, Libby posted a celebratory message on X: “This is a victory not just for my constituents, but for the Constitution itself. The Supreme Court has affirmed what should NEVER have been in question — that no state legislature has the power to silence an elected official simply for speaking truthfully about issues that matter.”
