Cancelling the funding for PRIDE MONTH?!!?

Three months before PRIDE MONTH?!!?

A host of longtime sponsors have begun backing out of their involvement in San Francisco's 2025 gay "Pride" celebrations, SFGATE reported.

LOL, GFY.

San Francisco Pride, a nonprofit that host's the city's annual pride event, has recently been scrambling for other methods to raise $300,000 for this year's festivities, according to SFGATE. Notably, the news comes amid President Donald Trump's ongoing efforts to crack down on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts nationwide.

The government was essentially funding all of this through DEI grants, which passed through "Non"-governmental organizations and paid-off corporations. Now that that money is drying up, the left doesn't have a trillion in funds embezzled from the taxpayer to play with.

San Francisco Pride's executive director, Suzanne Ford, told the outlet that she was "really disappointed" by the sponsors' decisions. Sponsors pulling out of the pride event include Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, the company behind Budweiser and Beck's beer; wine company La Crema, and Diageo, a beverage company known for producing Guinness, Ford told KTVU-TV in an interview published March 15.

The sponsors all cited a shortage of funds when informing San Francisco Pride that they were backing out of partaking in the 2025 pride events, and none of them mentioned the current political climate in the U.S., according to SFGATE. Still, Ford added that it was "very abnormal" for several longtime sponsors to suddenly drop their support for the event.

A few sponsors pull their support every year, she said, but they typically do so after a series of conversations with the nonprofit, the outlet reported.

"I just interpreted that companies are making decisions that at this time it's not good to be sponsoring Pride," Ford told SFGATE. "I think in this political environment that they thought that was a risky decision. But that's just me reading the tea leaves. I think for a long-term sponsor not to sponsor us, they are responding to what we are."

...

"La Crema remains fully committed to the LGBTQ+ community," A spokesperson for La Crema said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. "While we had to scale back our SF Pride activation this year, it was never our intention to step away entirely and we are still in ongoing conversations with event organizers on how we plan to participate. We will continue to support Pride, both nationally and in our backyard, and continue our long-standing advocacy partnership with Equality California."

San Francisco Pride, Comcast, Anheuser-Busch and Diageo did not respond to requests for comment from the DCNF.

#PunchAnAntifa.

A person armed with a gun and Molotov cocktails launched a "targeted attack" against a Tesla location in Las Vegas early Tuesday, spray-painting "resist," firing several shots and torching multiple cars, authorities said.

Gunshots and flames erupted at the Tesla Collision Center, at 6260 Badura Ave., at 2:45 a.m. in the latest violent incident involving property associated with Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and adviser to President Donald Trump.

"This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility, " Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told reporters. "We do believe that it is isolated at this time. We do not believe there is further threat to the general public."

The person wore all black and "used what appeared to be a Molotov cocktails and a firearm to conduct his attack," Koren said."At least five Tesla vehicles were damaged, to include two of which were engulfed in flames," Koren continued.

The attacker "fired three rounds into different Tesla vehicles," and at least one un-ignited Molotov cocktail was recovered from the scene, he said.

The word "RESIST" in all-capital letters was stray-pained in red on the center's doors.

Musk has been the point man for the Trump administration's attempts to drastically reduce federal programs with his Department of Government Efficiency.

Those efforts have coincided with a wave of vandalism nationally that appear to be targeting Tesla vehicles and facilities.

"This level of violence is insane and deeply wrong," Musk said in a statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, which he bought in 2022. "Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks."

In a statement Tuesday night, Attorney General Pam Bondi called attacks on Tesla property "nothing short of domestic terrorism," saying the Justice Department has charged several people "with that in mind," including in cases that carry five-year minimum sentences.

"We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes," she said.

More police will be assigned to Tesla locations around Las Vegas, Koren said.

Special Agent Spencer Evans, chief of the FBI's Las Vegas office, said, "Violent acts like this are unacceptable."

"To those who might think that something like this is justifiable or potentially even admirable, we want to let you know it's a federal crime. We will come after you. We will find you," Evans said.

About 22 hours before the Las Vegas incident and 300 miles away near San Diego, sheriff's deputies drove by a Tesla dealership when "multiple cars were found with swastikas spray-painted on them," officials said.

"In addition, several windows of the dealership building had also been spray-painted with swastikas and profanity," the San Diego County Sheriff's Office said.

And in another overnight incident of suspected arson, police say, two Cybertrucks were damaged by fire at a Tesla dealership in Kansas City, Missouri.

The FBI said it's working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Kansas City police to investigate the incident.

"Similar incidents have occurred in several states and the FBI and ATF are coordinating with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to gather information," the FBI's Kansas City office said in a statement Tuesday.

Some Tesla owners are posting the pictures of brokedown lefty criminals who key their cars.

Emotionally untethered leftists vandalizing Teslas across America are beginning to discover that cops in some places are taking this act of political vandalism seriously. Just ask the bushy-bearded, white-haired man wearing pro-America gear in San Jose or the dad-bod bearded man who may be on the FBI radar for his antics at an airport in Texas.

Tesla owners are striking back, providing social media sites -- and cops -- with inescapable proof of these emotional incontinents vandalizing the cars. Teslas have built-in cameras around the entire vehicle to capture images.

...

Tesla owners in Silicon Valley brought the receipts to San Jose, Calif., police about a man recorded while vandalizing a Tesla Cybertruck at a Costco parking lot. He took his key and slid it down the side of the vehicle.

San Jose Police Chief Paul Joseph says his department found out about the political vandalism when it was highlighted on social media. After the vandalism went viral, they "identified, located, and arrested the individual responsible for this act of felony vandalism."

...

Jeff Nguyen's Tesla was vandalized at Dallas Fort Worth Airport on Friday, March 13. He brought receipts and begged the internet to ID the guy.

That report was highlighted by the Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley group on X.

Trump Administration official, Rick Grennell, lateraled it over to FBI Director Kash Patel.

He also urged X sleuths to help solve the crime.

So far this DFW case is an unsolved mystery, but probably not for long.

Another promise kept.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard praised President Donald Trump after files relating to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy were released, noting that he is "ushering in a new era of maximum transparency."

"President Trump is ushering in a new era of maximum transparency," Gabbard wrote in a post on X. "Today, per his direction, previously redacted JFK Assassination Files are being released to the public with no redactions. Promises made, promises kept."

The files can be accessed directly by the public at the National Archives website here. The page for the JFK Assassination Records on the National Archives website states:

In accordance with President Donald Trump's directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released.

The National Archives has partnered with agencies across the federal government to comply with the President's directive in support of Executive Order 14176.

As or March 18, 2025, the records are available to access either online at this page or in person, via hard copy or on analog media formats, at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. As the records continue to be digitized, they will be posted to this page.

The release of the files comes a day after Trump announced that roughly 80,000 files would be released on Tuesday by Gabbard, adding that "people have been waiting for decades for this."

Whig read some of the files last night:

2 I read about 250 or so documents last night. A lot of it involves tradecraft of creating legends for specific agents, shell companies, etc. But at least two interesting things stuck out. One was that Oswald was under continuing surveillance prior to the assassination and two, he met with a guy called Kostikov who was a KGB agent in Mexico City. Kostikov had prior involvement in the KGB executive action aka killing section.

Another two dealt with Howard Hunt and his relationship with the CIA. The first appeared a mundane query over $30k worth of funds sought for reimbursement. The second was over his book clearance. Why the first is interesting is that it seems to imply Hunt was getting funds from the CIA in 1972 in some form. That is when the Watergate burglary happened btw and it was sometimes speculated that it was the CIA that torpedoed Nixon on purpose via Hunt.

Hunt filled the action team with former CIA anti Communist Cuban assets that you can cross check with the multitude of docs released regarding anti Castro Cuban operations and naming specific names.

There is also references to the close relationship between Mossad and CIA at the time.

I don't know what's in the files. This historian below talks about some stuff he's seen in the files. He mentions things I'm pretty sure we already knew, like the discovery of a pristine bullet in the presidential limo which suggests that four shots were fired, not three as the Warren Commission claims, which means that there would have to be a second gunman. He says Oswald didn't have time to shoot four times, because, he says, the pristine bullet would be the one that hit Kennedy in the back, and the next bullet, coming a fraction of a second later, hit Governor Connelly. Too quick a follow-up shot for a bolt-action rifle. The Warren Commission says the same bullet caused a bunch of injuries to both men -- "pausing in mid-air, mind you."

He also says that the files disclose that forensics scientists disputed the Warren Commission theory of the second shooter. Again, I'm pretty sure we knew this, but now we can read the actual documents.

Big news over the weekend on the propaganda front. VOA, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and various smaller official US state media are no more. Oh, they still exist on paper and the enabling legislation is still there, but Trump ordered the outlets cut to the bone, to do no more than the legally-mandatory minimum. And laid most of them off on Saturday morning, including suspending numerous contracts.

The official US propaganda outlet for foreign lands - sort of - has been suspended and will, like USAID, probably never recover. Barring some change in the law, the next guy can resurrect it if he wants to, but there is probably no point. It was a death strike and it will probably have worked. The order goes far beyond just the United States Agency for Global Media (the office behind VOA and various others).

Good morning kids. I'm sure many of you can cite the exact passage, as you'll forgive me for not being up on the New Testament. But, here goes: "Thank God for my enemies." There are a couple of prime examples this morning that indicate the Democrats have completely ignored the first rule of holes.

Firstly I apologize for inflicting Chuck Schumer on you two days in a row, but this one's a pip, as Archie Bunker might say.

The last thing Schumer wants to do in the coming days and weeks is say something incredibly stupid, condescending, or out-of-touch — anything that would give Republicans, or his colleagues for that matter, political ammunition. He also doesn’t want to say something so stupid, condescending, or out-of-touch that could not only anger conservatives or moderates but, if taken out of context, also Democrats.

And did just that. Though he was seemingly discussing the supposed cabal of oligarchs who control the Republican Party, Schumer still handed the GOP an ad for the century as he mocked people for having the very relatable feeling of hating taxes and the government telling them what to do. . .

. . . “They hate government,” he went on to say before a commercial break. “Government’s a barrier to people — a barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it. We are not letting them do it and we’re united.” At this point, Schumer should give up and roll over to left-wing Democrats the same way he went belly up for Trump and Republicans. A changing of the guard is likely underway in the Democrat Party, and Wall Street Chuck’s cosplay as a salt-of-the-earth, defender of the People won’t stop what’s coming in 2028 — or even 2026.

Well, let's not all begin administering a venturi effect on our nether regions just yet, but given the fact that tax season is upon us and on top of the trillions of dollars in waste that DOGE has uncovered and the Trump agenda's skyrocketing popularity, Yes please Chuck and Democrats let's have more soundbites just like this!

Plus, let's have more of you Lefties defending terrorists and illegal alien criminals remaining here on our territory. As well as more Tesla dealerships going up in flames, plus the physical assault and "Swatting" of political enemies like Juanita Broddrick now, as the expression of your love of humanity, peace, democracy and law and order, right?

Of course there's always this brand of Democrat peace love and understanding:

Following their rejection at the ballot box in November, trans activists have decided against the idea of moderating their insanity. Instead, they have elected to double down on the most extreme and demented aspects of their ideology. They have devolved to a degree that, if you weren’t paying attention, you might have thought was impossible. We are now at the point where trans activists are embracing cruelty that isn’t even cloaked with the usual lies about “scientific consensus” or anything like that. These people are now endorsing child abuse, without reservation, right out in the open. That’s always what they’ve stood for. Now they’re not even attempting to hide it. In order to understand the depths of depravity, you need to watch the scene that unfolded at a school board meeting on Thursday in Deerfield, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. A woman named Nicole Georgas began by telling the school board that her daughter is a 13-year-old student at a local middle school. And recently, her 13-year-old was forced to share a bathroom with a male student. Watch: Before we play the rest of Nicole Georgas’ statement, it’s worth pointing out that, strangely enough, no one on the Left is calling this situation a “constitutional crisis.” She’s pointing out, correctly, that the state of Illinois is defying Trump’s executive order on gender ideology. And in the process, they’re disregarding the civil rights of children at a systemic level. If you listened to the Left’s complaints about how outrageous it was that the Trump administration ignored a judge’s order when he deported Venezuelan terrorists the other day, you might think that they’d be equally upset about what the state of Illinois is doing in this case. But of course there’s no outrage, because these people are more than happy to ignore orders when they feel like it. And the state of Illinois should lose federal funding immediately as a result. . . To restate: This woman is saying that school officials forced her 13-year-old daughter — and several other young girls — to change in front of a male student in a locker room at a middle school. Those school officials, she said, include the district’s assistant superintendent for student services, the school’s assistant principal, and the director for student services. . . But because there are no good-faith trans activists, you can probably guess how this mother’s statement was received. As soon as she was finished, “boos” rang out in the room. One person asked her why she was “obsessed” with the genitals of children, which is one of those stock arguments these activists use all the time, even though it makes no sense whatsoever. They could be exposing themselves to you and your children in the park, and then when you object to it, they’ll accuse you of being “obsessed.” Then, a few other activists spoke at the school board meeting, and they continued to take cheap shots at the mother. . .

. . . This is a basic moral principle — one of many basic moral principles that trans activists have abandoned. If this school board meeting demonstrates anything, it’s that these people are never going to become more moderate or sensible, no matter how badly they lose national elections. As I’ve pointed out before, most of the adult trans activists who continue in the fight are either trans themselves or have trans kids — or in some cases, both (as we saw at this school board meeting). They will never let it go, because to let it go would be to admit that they’ve maimed and mutilated themselves or their children. That is a level of self-reflection and acceptance that trans activists, as the ultimate narcissists, are simply incapable of achieving.

Yes, thank God for our enemies, now pray that our alleged friends and allies in and out of government have the moral clarity and the stones to face them down and do what needs to be done to defeat them.

It's reassuring that Trump seems to be telling the judiciary to piss up a rope while at least one congressman is pursuing the impeachment of this hack-in-black Boasberg.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) has filed Articles of Impeachment against Judge James E. Boasberg, appointed by former President Barack Obama, after he issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien gang members. . .

. . . The left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Soros-linked Democracy Forward sued the Trump administration on behalf of five illegal aliens accused of being gang members to stop the deportations — though planes of nearly 300 gang members had already taken off for El Salvador.

Boasberg issued a temporary restraining order blocking Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien gang members. Trump officials said they got the order from Boasberg when the gang members had already landed in El Salvador.

Gill, in a statement on X, claimed Boasberg’s order is “illegal and unconstitutional” and announced Articles of Impeachment against the federal judge whose family has deep ties to Democrats.

Again, it raises the question of the efficacy of relying on corrupt institutions and sadly too many corrupt politicians and others to do the just and moral thing, as opposed to just doing what our enemies do and invoke the precept of "by any means necessary."

And if there is a God of justice and mercy, Schumer and Bernie Sanders would have been reduced to a pile of smoldering ashes in Old Sparky long long ago. But I digress.

Along a similar line, While Schumer and company prove to the American people that their instincts are correct about what their money is funding, California puts a big fat exclamation point on all of the aforementioned:

Okay, wait, I thought they worshiped Dylan Mulvaney. But if the Democrats are anything, they’re full of surprises, as we saw at the California state assembly on Friday. A Democrat assembly member offered a prayer to open the assembly session, as is the time-honored custom, but the prayer wasn’t to any deity that you’d learn about in the average world religions course, even in these latter days of American colleges and universities being reduced to little more than Antifa recruitment centers. The prayer was offered to none other than Beyoncé. . . The Democrat Party has become the party of angry blue-haired people with multiple piercings and a penchant for violence in support of any cause that involves hating America and wanting to destroy it. And now, instead of tacking back to the center and reassuring ordinary Americans that the party hasn’t gone totally insane and is doubling down on supporting everything that is making their lives more difficult (high taxes, rising crime, open borders, the whole nine yards), the Democrats are thinking up new ways to alienate even more Americans. . . Meanwhile, what’s next in the California state assembly? Prayers to Rachel Levine? Or maybe just straight-down prayers to Lucifer? Nothing would surprise us anymore.

Have a great day.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Is this important?

Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of the Daily Wire, is stepping down from his role as co-CEO to focus on creative projects for the company, he told staff in a memo obtained by Axios on Tuesday.

Why it matters: Boreing has been with the Daily Wire since its inception in 2015. He helped grow the outlet from a tiny news startup with $4.7 million in seed funding to a media giant valued north of $1 billion last year.

State of play: Caleb Robinson, the company's founding CEO, will become the company's full-time CEO effective immediately. Robinson and Boreing have been co-CEOs since 2019.

Robinson co-founded the company alongside Boreing and the outlet's editor emeritus Ben Shapiro.

In a note to staff, Boreing said he will remain with the company in an advisory role. He will continue to host "Daily Wire Backstage," the company's monthly show featuring Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles and Andrew Klavan.

He will focus full time on creative projects, including the completion of the Daily Wire's TV series "The Pendragon Cycle," in which he serves as director and executive producer.

Below, a YouTube guy named Ian Carroll -- who seems to be no friend of Boering or Ben Shapiro -- claims he's heard rumors that the resignation is due to vague claims about Boering's "egotism." And also about overspending on his pet entertainment projects, like "The Pendragon Cycle."

He claims the Daily Wire is losing money and is looking to sell out to a big firm.

I don't know about this show except that the first season featured Sydney Sweeney.

I also saw that the creator Mike White, who wrote School of Rock and played Ned Schneibly (the real one), is gay. I imagine he has conventional leftwing politics.

So does this mean that even some of Hollywood's liberals are getting sick of woke sermonizing?

The cultural tides have turned, if HBO's "The White Lotus" is any indication.

A scene from a recent episode of the popular anthology series went viral for its sympathetic portrait of a character whose chic coastal-liberal friends abused and belittled her for -- maybe, possibly -- having voted for Donald Trump in the presidential election.

Surprisingly, it was the vocal Democrats who were the obvious villains of the sequence as they bullied their friend for wrongthink.

It sparked endless online commentary: Is the overbearing, reflexive leftism of the entertainment world really breaking?

That article also mentions a TikToker who the Woke Mob came for, suspecting she may have voted for Trump. The cancellation failed, and she actually gained millions of followers, including Riley Gaines.

The scene described above can be viewed below:

Oh, and they were reprimanded for doing that.

While Columbia covered up, and continues covering up, the Nazi leanings of its leftwing anti-Jew students and the radicals they invite on to campus to ringlead mob violence.

Columbia University is facing a new federal investigation over allegations from two janitors who claim they were unlawfully forced to scrub off swastikas spray-painted on campus before later being attacked and briefly trapped by an anti-Israel "mob" during the takeover of Hamilton Hall last spring.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a federal agency tasked with enforcing civil rights laws in the workplace, has opened a probe into complaints from Lester Wilson and Mario Torres, who were forced to fight their way out of Hamilton Hall nearly a year ago, The Post has confirmed.

Both men are making claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, alleging that they faced retaliatory harassment at the institution for "reporting antisemitic and racist conduct."

...

Wilson and Torres, who had worked at the school for over five years, were both left injured as well as traumatized from the scourge of anti-Israel unrest that engulfed the Ivy League school and have since been unable to return to work as a result, according to the complaints they filed last October.

"Hours after President [Minouche] Shafik issued her statement [that the university had become 'unsafe for everyone'], an antisemitic mob assaulted two janitors inside Columbia's historic Hamilton Hall, calling them 'Jew-lovers,'" the two complaints for both men recalled of the Hamilton Hall takeover in April last year.

...

It all began around November 2023, shortly after the bloody Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel sparked a war. Racist and antisemitic graffiti started to pop up, scrawled all around Hamilton Hall -- and the campus's janitors were forced to clean it up.

"Mr. Wilson recognized the swastikas as symbols of white supremacy," Wilson's complaint alleges. "As an African-American man, he found the images deeply distressing. He reported them to his supervisors, who instructed him to erase the graffiti."

"No matter how many times Mr. Wilson removed the swastikas, individuals kept replacing them with more."

Wilson lost track of how many swastikas he had to scrub, but his colleague Torres, who is Latino, pegged it in the dozens and eventually reached a point where he had enough, his complaint said.

"They were so offensive, and Columbia's inaction was so frustrating, that he eventually began throwing away chalk that had been left in the classrooms so vandals would not have anything to write with," Torres' complaint alleged.

"However, Mr. Torres was reprimanded by his supervisor for doing so."

Given the fact that Columbia University requires an electronic ID to gain entrance to Hamilton Hall, which is nestled on the school's Morningside Heights campus, and the fact that the building was equipped with security feeds, the two janitors felt the authorities could've tracked down the perpetrators.

They had reported the deluge of antisemitic, sexually obscene and racist graffiti at Hamilton Hall to campus security and concluded there was "no reason to believe" Columbia University "investigated any of the incidents" that had been flagged.

In one instance, around Dec. 6, 2023, Torres and Wilson observed masked protesters storm through Hamilton Hall chanting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" and scrawling swastikas as well as other obscene graffiti in the building.

After Wilson reported that, he was told by campus security that "the trespassers and vandals were exercising their First Amendment rights" and that "nothing could be done," per the complaint.

A student is also filing complaints against Columbia for protecting its Hamas-promoting terrorist agent Mahmoud Khalil.

Khalil, 30, also routinely boasted in class that he headed the Students for Justice in Palestine movement at Columbia and "didn't love Jews."

He was a frequent no-show to class, which centered on Israeli politics, the student recalled. And when he did attend lectures, he disrespectfully interrupted his professor, who is Israeli.

"Everything about Israel was illegitimate; everything about Zionism was illegitimate because, in his mind, it's like a farce and a fallacy to think otherwise," she said.

And Khalil routinely "targeted" Jewish students in a WhatsApp group chat the class shared, she added.

"Once or twice a week, he would just go in [the group chat] and basically instigate crazy claims that were just very antisemitic and really inflammatory, and would get into fights with people," she said.

Reading directly from the chat, she recounted, "One day a Jewish student had said, 'I'm disturbed by the normalization of the insane amount of antisemitism spewed in this chat in the last few months. Disappointed and shameful.' To that, Mahmoud said, 'Thank you. This is exactly what some are trying to do so hard in this conversation: Conflate Judaism and Zionism, so it's easier for them to shut down any criticism of the colonial, genocidal state of Israel.'

The student said it was such erratic behavior that drove her to drop the class -- although she didn't dare confront him.

"I just didn't want to become a target of his," she said.

The student, however, anonymously filed two Title VI complaints with Columbia administrators about his antisemitic rants within the group chat -- but nothing ever came of them, she said.

John Sexton reports that the Hamas-supporting rag the New York Times whitewashed Mahmoud Khalil's radicalism, but now softly admits he supports "armed resistance," which "Israel calls terrorism."

...at a discussion sponsored by the coalition of student protesters, he remarked that whether Palestinian resistance was peaceful or armed, "Israel and their propaganda always find something to attack." He added, "They -- we -- have tried armed resistance, which is, again, legitimate under international law." But Israel calls it terrorism, he said...

Sexton also reports that colleges -- or what were once colleges -- are realizing that they have lost the support of most of the country and the left doesn't have the power to save them.

Columbia University is just the start of a long-brewing backlash. On Monday of this week the Trump administration's Department of Education put 60 schools on notice that they will lose federal funding if they don't do more to crack down on antisemitism on campus.

...

Unfortunately for many of these schools, they are only now realizing that they don't have a lot of friends to take up any slack if their budgets are cut.

[NYT:]

Prestigious universities have come to find adversaries in many worlds, among the working class, among rich alumni, among highly educated progressives who find them self-regarding. "Universities are good targets for resentment," said Michael Roth, the president of Wesleyan University who has written about modern campus politics. "They take such enormous pride in how many people they reject.

"We at universities have not done enough over the years to pay attention to those groups -- conservative groups, religious groups -- around the country that are essential parts of a democratic culture. The isolation makes us very vulnerable."

These school administrators marched the girls into the locker room and stood there to make sure that they undressed.

The school didn't just say "you'll lose PE credit if you don't change"

They literally marched the girls into the locker room.

Who do these women think they are?

This story is based on the claims of the violated girl's mother. However, adding to the credibility of her claims is the refusal of the school or administrators involved to comment on the claims.

Middle School Staff Forced Girls to Change in Front of Trans-Identifying Boy, Mom Says

Illinois public school administrators tried to force a 13-year-old girl to change clothes in front of a biological male, in accordance with the district's "inclusive" bathroom policy that allows transgender students to use whichever locker room corresponds with their chosen gender, the mother of the girl said at a Deerfield School District 109 School Board meeting on Thursday evening.

When Nicole Georgas's 13-year-old daughter came home from Shepard Middle School on February 5, she was frightened and upset: A boy had been in the girl's bathroom.
Georgas's daughter was told by Deerfield administrators that because the male student identified as a female, he could use the girl's locker room and bathroom, Georgas said. Although Georgas expressed to the school that the district was "in clear violation" of President Donald Trump's recent executive order that restricts males from participating in female sports and using female changing rooms, her daughter's teachers and principal reiterated that under direction from the district's legal counsel, the male student could use whichever bathroom corresponded to his chosen gender.
Then, Georgas said, "the situation went from bad to worse."

"A few days later, the male student was present in the girls locker room. Feeling violated, the girls made the choice to not change into their PE clothes with the biological male student present," Georgas said at the meeting.

Administrators then supervised the locker room to ensure that all girls were changing into their physical education clothes without protest, Georgas claimed. District 109 Assistant Superintendent for Student Services Joanna Ford, Assistant Principal Cathy Van Treese, and Director for Student Services Ginger Logemann tried to force the girls to change in front of the male student, Georgas said; when contacted, the district and administrators did not respond to National Review's requests for comment.

...

According to Georgas, administrators offered to move her daughter to a different PE unit.

Georgas's school board testimony was booed on Thursday evening by a large audience of transgender activists who spoke in support of the district's bathroom policy.

MXMNews:

The controversy has drawn national attention, with critics slamming the district's actions as an egregious violation of students' rights. Former Olympian and women's rights advocate Jennifer Sey condemned the district, stating, "These school officials need to be prosecuted." Republican state Rep. Blaine Wilhour blamed Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker for emboldening "woke perverts" in the education system, citing his administration's expansion of gender ideology policies in schools.

Before getting to that: Biden low-balled the number of invaders he allowed to swarm into the country. Plot twist.

The number of illegal invaders was double what Biden claimed.

Joe Biden's presidency oversaw an unprecedented surge in immigration, with new data revealing the scale of the influx. According to a recent op-ed by Jason Richwine at the Center for Immigration Studies, net international migration during Biden's tenure was far higher than originally reported, reaching 2.8 million in 2024 alone. The foreign-born population in the U.S. has now reached a historic 53.3 million, with illegal immigration driving much of the increase. In contrast, President Trump's policies have significantly reduced illegal border crossings.

Key Details:

The Census Bureau revised its net migration figures for 2022 and 2023 from 2 million to 4 million, with 2024 alone adding 2.8 million.

The foreign-born population has hit a record 53.3 million, up from 45 million four years ago, with nearly two-thirds of the increase attributed to illegal immigration.

Illegal border crossings have plummeted under President Trump, who reversed Biden-era policies such as catch and release and mass parole.

Diving Deeper:

Newly revised Census Bureau data has shed light on the sheer scale of immigration under former President Joe Biden. As Jason Richwine writes in his March 14, 2025, op-ed for the Center for Immigration Studies, the agency initially reported net international migration for 2022 and 2023 at a combined 2 million, only to later correct the figure to a staggering 4 million. The trend continued in 2024, with an additional 2.8 million immigrants entering the country. "This is more than double the number in any single year this century prior to Biden's taking office," Richwine points out.

The January release of the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS) has offered a clearer picture of immigration's impact on the nation. Richwine highlights the findings of a new report by Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler, which confirms that the foreign-born population in the U.S. has reached a record-breaking 53.3 million, up from 45 million four years ago. "The foreign-born share of the population now stands at 15.8 percent," Richwine notes, "which eclipses the highs of the Great Wave at the turn of the 20th century." This surge has accelerated decades ahead of prior projections, as the Census Bureau previously estimated that the U.S. would not reach this level of foreign-born population until 2042.

A major driver of this increase was illegal immigration. "Camarota and Zeigler estimate that nearly two-thirds of the increase in the foreign-born population over the last four years was due to illegal immigration," Richwine explains. However, under President Trump, illegal border crossings have dropped dramatically. Richwine attributes this to Trump's swift action in reversing Biden's immigration policies, stating that "Trump reversed the Biden policies of catch and release and mass parole, secured better cooperation from Mexico, and empowered interior enforcement."

You won't be surprised to learn that the organization funding the lawfare operation against Trump, trying to block him from deporting alien invaders, is funded by George Soros.

A network of left-wing organizations with financial ties to billionaire George Soros is backing a lawsuit aimed at halting President Donald Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien gang members.

Key Details:

The Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport nearly 300 illegal alien gang members linked to MS-13 and Tren de Aragua to El Salvador**, where they will be held in a mega-prison under an agreement with President Nayib Bukele.

Democracy Forward, a legal group assisting in the lawsuit, has deep ties to Soros-funded organizations, including the Center for American Progress, National Immigration Law Center, UnidosUS, and Color of Change.

Despite the court order, the administration maintains that the deportations had already taken place before the ruling was issued and insists that the president has broad legal authority over foreign affairs and national security.

Diving Deeper:

In a decisive move to combat violent crime and illegal immigration, President Donald Trump utilized the Alien Enemies Act to deport hundreds of illegal alien gang members to El Salvador over the weekend. The effort primarily targeted MS-13 and Tren de Aragua--two international criminal organizations designated as terrorist groups by the administration. However, the policy immediately drew backlash from left-wing legal groups, leading to a lawsuit seeking to block further deportations.

The ACLU and Democracy Forward filed suit on behalf of five illegal aliens currently in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, claiming the Trump administration illegally applied the Alien Enemies Act. A federal judge sided with the plaintiffs and issued an order to halt the deportations. However, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed claims that the administration violated the ruling, emphasizing that the order was issued after the deportation flights had already taken off.

The legal battle has exposed the deep financial connections between Soros-backed entities and groups opposing Trump's border security agenda. Democracy Forward, one of the key organizations representing the illegal aliens, has received extensive funding from the Open Society Foundation, which is chaired by Alexander Soros, the son of George Soros. The foundation has poured millions into organizations like the Center for American Progress, widely regarded as the policy arm of the Democrat Party, as well as other activist groups pushing for open borders policies.

In 2023 alone, the Open Society Foundation provided nearly $4 million in grant funding to the Center for American Progress, along with millions more to the National Immigration Law Center, UnidosUS, and Common Justice--all of which are aligned with Democracy Forward. The lawsuit represents another coordinated legal assault on Trump's immigration enforcement efforts, with Soros-linked groups playing a central role in undermining the administration's push to secure the border and combat criminal organizations.

Below, someone asked the Fort Myers, FL, city council to authorize police cooperation with ICE in situations where they've arrested a criminal for a specific crime and then discover he's also an illegal alien. He may have mentioned that Fort Myers risks all federal funding for refusing to talk to ICE at all.

The city council members responded by crying.

Trump knows that any Democrat would do this to himself and his family. For crying out loud, Biden refused him Secret Service protection for as long as he could when Trump was the frontrunning candidate for president. And then he took protection away from Trump to task it with protecting Jill Biden who, we can now say, is not a doctor at all.

Trump pointed out that Hunter is currently in South Africa -- a nation now on the US watch list due to its racist oppression of its white minority. What's he doing there? I can only assume he's doing what he's done all his adult life, attempting to sell political influence to a scumbag foreign country.

Trump also wants to cancel Ashley Biden's protective detail.

If Hunter feels he needs protection, he can just sell more of his watercolor artworks.

More from MXM:

Secret Service protection was an outrageous misuse of taxpayer money and confirmed he was pulling the plug.

"Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States taxpayer," Trump wrote. "There are as many as 18 people on this detail, which is ridiculous!" He then announced: "Effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection."

Trump also revealed that Ashley Biden had a taxpayer-funded security detail of 13 agents, which he deemed excessive. "Likewise, Ashley Biden, who has 13 agents, will be taken off the list," he stated.

The decision comes amid mounting scrutiny over Hunter Biden's continued Secret Service protection despite not holding any official government role. Reports surfaced last week that he had been staying in a luxury $500-a-night villa in Cape Town, South Africa, while flanked by federal security--just as he skipped a scheduled court deposition. Trump made it clear that the American people should not be footing the bill for Hunter's personal travel.

Trump has long pushed to limit extended Secret Service protection for non-government figures, previously revoking security for former officials such as Mike Pompeo and John Bolton. His latest move reinforces his commitment to cutting unnecessary federal spending, especially when it involves high-profile figures like Hunter Biden.

Happy Tuesday, everybody. I hope that you're all having a great days and that if you're in a storm-stricken area, I hope they've got the power back on and your basements aren't overly-flooded.

Hamas raped women, slaughtered babies, took hostages and violated their promises to return the hostages.

I'm just waiting for Regime Media to explain to me that Israel is the bad actor here.

Israel ends ceasefire, strikes Gaza after Hamas refuses to return hostages

Israel resumed military operations against Hamas in Gaza after the terror group refused multiple hostage deal offers. At least 326 Palestinians were killed in the strikes as Israel vowed to escalate operations until all hostages are freed.

Key Details:

Israeli jets bombed Hamas targets after ceasefire collapsed due to Hamas' rejection of a hostage deal.

Defense Minister Israel Katz warned of intensified military action if Hamas does not release hostages.

The Israeli military targeted Hamas commanders and infrastructure in preemptive strikes.

Hamas accused Israel of war crimes and called for international intervention.

Netanyahu reaffirmed that Israel will not stop until Hamas is destroyed and all hostages return home.

...

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz justified the attacks, stating they were necessary to achieve the war's objectives. "This decision comes after Hamas repeatedly refused to release our hostages and rejected all proposals presented by U.S. President's envoy, Steve Witkoff, as well as the mediators," Katz's office wrote in a letter.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, confirmed they had begun striking Hamas targets "under the direction of the political echelon." Israeli forces launched a series of preemptive strikes aimed at mid-ranking military commanders, leadership officials, and terror infrastructure. The operation is expected to escalate beyond airstrikes and into further military action.

Israeli officials said dozens of targets were chosen based on Hamas' readiness to execute future attacks. Additionally, authorities decided to keep schools in the Gaza Envelope closed due to security concerns.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office reiterated that Hamas had rejected all offers, including one mediated by Trump administration envoy Steve Witkoff. "Tonight, we returned to fighting in Gaza due to Hamas' refusal to release the hostages and threats to harm IDF soldiers and Israeli communities," Katz stated. "If Hamas does not release all the hostages, the gates of hell will open in Gaza."

To hell with Gaza and all of its terrorists.

The Houthis have been around since the 1990s, when they emerged as just another lunatic Shia terrorist organization. Oh sure... they were nominally a political movement that was anti-Saudi, and of course anti-American, but let us face reality. Every Muslim freedom movement or revolutionary movement devolves into terrorism.

Here is their official slogan. Seriously:

God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse be upon the Jews, Victory to Islam

They are a garden variety terrorist group, but with a twist. They are closely aligned with Iran, and receive a huge amount of aid from that paragon of international cooperation. Primarily weapons, which is why this group of 7th century maniacs can threaten shipping at the Red Sea choke point south of the Suez Canal, and shoot missiles at Saudi Arabia. If it weren't for that twist of geography, the Houthis would be scrabbling in the dust like everyone else in Yemen, and we would never have heard of them.

President Trump's statement

The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective. The Houthis have choked off shipping in one of the most important Waterways of the World, grinding vast swaths of Global Commerce to a halt, and attacking the core principle of Freedom of Navigation upon which International Trade and Commerce depends.

Our brave Warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrorists' bases, leaders, and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air, and naval assets, and to restore Navigational Freedom. No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the Waterways of the World.

But the vast majority of the commercial ships threatened by the Houthi terrorists are not involved in American trade. Much of our shipping is across the Pacific. So why is there not a commanding presence of European navies (stop laughing!) and perhaps the Indian Navy and Australian Navy and Japanese Navy and others busily pounding the Houthi military infrastructure into dust? Hell... what about the Saudis, who love to spend their petrodollars on high-tech weaponry, but are conspicuously absent, or on the losing end of the battle when it comes to using those toys! Yeah, the Houthis have smacked the Saudis around.

President Trump ran on a platform of no new wars, and a renewed focus on America. He is pursuing that platform with vigor, so why are we once again front-and-center in a fight that, while it does involve us, is best conducted by others?

Of course the damage being done to the Houthis is also hurting Iran, and that is an unalloyed good thing. Iran is in difficult economic straits, with inflation running at a reported 50%, demonstrations across the country, a depreciating currency, and all of their proxies getting the snot knocked out of them! Will Iran be able to resupply them with new weapons and more cash? Probably not, especially since they are very worried about an Israeli strike on their nuclear facilities, and must rebuild their destroyed air defenses.

If the long game is the destruction of the current regime in Iran, then the attacks on the Houthis make more sense. But... Europe and others still need to be involved, so at a minimum, they begin to understand that the Pax Americana that has allowed them to spend their money on themselves rather than a common defense has closed up shop.

Good morning kids. As the saying goes, when your enemy is making a mistake, never interrupt him. I find it deliciously ironic that of all people (at least on paper) Chuck Schumer is cancelling a book tour because of a leftist backlash for his support of the Trump-backed CR.

As a side note, the book is about anti-Semitism, disgustingly ironic considering the fact that despite his lineage, this self-gassing momzer, vontz, apostate has aligned himself with a party that is openly and brazenly anti-Semitic (and anti-Christian) given the events here and in Israel since October 7 2023 and the reactions of him and his party. And that is only recent history.

But that said, the vitriol and venom shrieked at him from his own side is quite enjoyable, as it certainly is one indicator that he and his party are tearing themselves apart at the mere mention of the name of Donald Trump. And if a Molotov cocktail lit with a Democrat-funded (not for long!) men's room tampon fuse should set his limo on fire, or a pre-positioned George Soros brick put a new part in his hair transplants, I won't exactly shed a tear as he and his ilk brought it upon themselves.

Despite what you may be reading and hearing in the Leftist Propaganda house organs, Trump's approval, both personal and most crucially agenda-wise are skyrocketing as the Democrats' have now dug their way clear through the Earth's core to the other side of the planet by continuing to embrace everything that normal Americans reject and are revolted by. Again, deliciously ironic for him to fear his own terror goon squads that were unleashed on America during the summer of love 2020 edition to destabilize the upcoming election and provide yet another smokescreen/excuse with the COVID lockdowns and evisceration of election security that helped the Dems steal that election. (And is COVID 2 Bird Flu boogaloo being prepped by the Deep State to take us and Trump down yet again?!)

So as Schemer cowers in fear, he and his coven of scum, criminals, degenerates and thugs continue to go all out in support of Muslim terrorists (BIRM) and criminal illegal aliens while normal people are revolted. Yup, keep raping that chicken Chucky, all the way through to the midterms and then the 16 years of J.D. Vance and his running mate.

Despite Schumer's fears, I very much doubt he'd be in favor of Kash Patel and Pam Bondi going after Antifa, BLM, ELF, Mecha, La Raza, CCAIR, Sharpton's NAN, the Black Panthers and every other official/unoffical Democrat-Leftist domestic terror organization.

Personally, I think Soros' "Open Societies" funds most if not all of these bastards and needs to be RICO'd the hell out of existence and all of his assets confiscated. And how about going after the ACLU and SPLC while we're at it?! They're the ones who conspired with this hack-in-back Boasberg to block Trump's deportation of the Tren de Aragua illegal alien animals.

Donald Trump is demonstrating a skill at backing his opponents into corners that he didn’t show in his first term. 
Of course, it helps that his enemies are, unaccountably, cooperating.
One of Trump’s best moves has been, repeatedly, to get the Democrats to take the “20%” side on the so-called “80/20 issues.” (To be fair, sometimes they’re more like 70/30 issues, but close enough.) One reason he’s been able to do this is that Democrats reflexively oppose anything he does.

So when Trump promises to cut spending sharply and reduce the debt, Democrats go all-in against it, even though it’s something a huge majority of Americans support. 
Agitating to continue waste, fraud and abuse — especially when there are truly glaring examples of it — is a bad look. But it was just the start.
Billions for USAID: An 80/20 issue. Dems took the 20% side. 
Keeping boys out of girls’ sports: Another 80/20 issue, Dems took the 20% side. 
Closing the border, energy independence, supporting Israel, deporting dangerous aliens, on and on. 
Trump has the Democrats jumping to defend basically every issue that a Democratic strategist of 20 years ago, or maybe even 10 years ago, would have told them to avoid like the plague.
Heck, while Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) was performatively trading in his Tesla for a gas-guzzling Tahoe SUV, Democrats’ new bete noir Elon Musk was rescuing Kelly’s fellow astronauts stranded on the International Space Station. (You can tell this dramatic space rescue is a good look for Trump and Musk and a bad one for the Democrats by the non-coverage it’s received in the mainstream media.)
As a consequence, Democrats have hit a new all-time low in approval ratings, while Trump’s approval is up, and the most Americans since 2004 say the country is on the right track.
Now Trump is drawing out the nation’s partisan district judges, causing them to overextend themselves in ways that will cost them — and the judiciary itself — a lot.
Lower-level federal judges have been issuing orders against the administration, purporting to block Trump-ordered spending cuts, halt layoffs of government employees and more.
In the latest incident, Chief Judge James Boasberg of the US District Court for the District of Columbia on Saturday tried to block Trump’s deportation of more than 250 illegal aliens tied to the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, a federally designated foreign terrorist organization.
Trump was relying on the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a venerable statute that allows the president to order the deportation of “alien enemies” in times of war, invasion, incursion or threat thereof. 
Trump’s deportation order declared that Tren de Aragua members were specifically exported here by the hostile Venezuelan government, as he placed them on airplanes and sent them to points south.
Though the law dates back to the 18th century, it has been employed regularly in modern times. A 1948 Supreme Court case, Ludecke v. Watkins, interpreted presidential authority under the law very broadly, holding that it precluded judicial review of the removals.  
Judge Boasberg is obviously inclined to disagree.
Boasberg’s ruling is part of a wide-ranging legal resistance effort, mostly organized by various left-leaning legal groups that engage in “judge shopping” to get anti-Trump decisions out of friendly district jurists. 
But in doing so, they, like the Democrats, may be playing into Trump’s hands.

Elsewhere, Israel seems to have had enough, vis a vis trading live terrorists for dead mutilated Jews. And Trump also seems to be signaling, with his retaliatory attacks on the Houthis as a warning to Iran. It might also be a green light for Bibi to strike at them before they can go nuclear.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. 

Have a great day.
