DHS debunks Dodgers’ claim that ICE attempted a raid at stadium on game day

The Department of Homeland Security poured cold water on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ claim that there was an attempted Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid at their stadium on Thursday.

The reigning World Series champs’ official X account claimed that ICE agents had requested access to the Dodger Stadium parking lot Thursday morning, with the team touting that it had denied the agents entry — in the wake of Los Angeles being ground zero of resistance against the Trump administration’s immigration raids.

DHS officials, however, said that the team’s grandstanding was irrelevant because there was never an operation in the works at the stadium.

“This had nothing to do with the Dodgers,” the agency wrote on X. “CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement.”

Federal Investigation Launched After Boy Wins Minnesota Girls’ Softball Title

Two federal Title IX investigations have been launched after a Minnesota girls’ softball team with a male player, who identifies as a “girl,” won the state championship.

The Champlin Park High School softball team defeated an all-female team for the win.

On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Education announced that it will be “elevating its Title IX investigations into the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) to the Title IX Special Investigations Team (Title IX SIT), which is comprised of both the Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice.”

In a press release about the investigations, the DOE said:

“In February, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) opened a Title IX investigation into MSHSL over its stated intentions to flout federal law and instead follow state policies which allow student-athletes to compete in sports based on their ‘gender identity.’ On June 3, OCR opened a Title IX investigation into the Minnesota Department of Education after receiving a complaint alleging that MDE has policies which permit males to participate in female sports and occupy female-only intimate facilities. Both investigations are today being elevated to the Title IX SIT.”

The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights initially launched its investigation into MSHSL in February, after President Donald Trump announced his executive order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” The league responded that they would not be complying and will continue allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports.

“The Minnesota State High School League, similar to other youth sports organizations, is subject to state anti-discrimination laws, which prohibit discrimination based on gender identity,” MSHSL said in a statement at the time. “Therefore, students in Minnesota are allowed to participate consistent with their gender identity.”

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon called the refusal to comply “completely unacceptable.”

Transgender Softball Pitchers Just Became the New Standard After Male Throws 5 Straight Games at Finals, Wins State in 6-0 Shutout

What’s the best way to win a state championship in softball? Allowing a male pitcher to take the mound against girls seemed to work for Champlin Park High School.

On Friday, Outkick reported the Champlin Park Rebels are now state champions after defeating Bloomington Jefferson in a 6–0 shutout at Jane Sage Cowles Stadium at the University of Minnesota.

The Rebels put Marissa Rothenberger – a male who is “trans” – on the mound where he capped off the Minnesota State High School League tournament with only allowing three hits in the shutout.

Rothenberger pitched for twenty-one innings across three games in the tournament, only giving up two runs. He also pitched for fourteen shutout innings in sectionals to help Champlin Park make the tournament.

Champlin Park clearly recognized the advantage of having a male athlete in the game as they never put their other pitcher Ava Abrahamson on the mound.

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.
