Trump Sues California For Violating Title IX's Purpose of Reserving Female Sports for Females

Remember when Transin' Newsom pretended he thought it was "unfair" to make women compete against men?

That's now been exposed as the toe-in-the-water first attempt at political reinvention that it was. He's a Trans Crusader and always will be.

Pam Bondi even quoted Transin' Newsom's statement that it's "deeply unfair" to force women to compete with men to support the lawsuit.

The Trump administration sued California Wednesday after a Department of Education probe found the state had discriminated against women by "allowing males in girls' sports and intimate spaces."
The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division alleged that the California Department of Education (CDE) and California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) violated Title IX and forced girls to be "displaced from podiums, denied awards, and miss out on critical visibility for scholarships and recognition," according to the complaint filed in Los Angeles federal court.
"This discrimination is not only illegal and unfair but also demeaning, signaling to girls that their opportunities and achievements are secondary to accommodating boys," the filing stated.
"It erodes the integrity of girls' sports, diminishes their competitive experience, and undermines the very purpose of Title IX: to provide equal access to educational benefits, including interscholastic athletics."
The complaint demanded a court order barring the policies, compensation for "female athletes who have been denied equal athletic opportunities ... including correcting past athletics records" and a requirement that California turn in "regular compliance reports" for at least the next five years.
The DOJ's complaint noted that California's compliance was necessary since the $44.3 billion in federal funding the state received this fiscal year was conditioned upon compliance with Title IX.
The 1972 law mandates equal opportunities regardless of sex in schools receiving federal funds.
...
California is one of more than 20 states that allows athletes to compete in sports that comport with their chosen "gender identity" -- despite President Trump having signed an executive order in February barring the policy and threatening to pull federal funding to those states that persisted.
"The Governor of California has previously admitted that it is 'deeply unfair' to force women and girls to compete with men and boys in competitive sports," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement.
"But not only is it 'deeply unfair,' it is also illegal under federal law. This Department of Justice will continue its fight to protect equal opportunities for women and girls in sports."

The left continues claiming that Trump didn't reduce the price of eggs despite the fact that Trump has already reduced the price of eggs.

But if they want him to do more to reduce the price of eggs further, fine.

He's also suing California for its interference in the national egg market.

The Trump administration sued California and Gov. Gavin Newsom over the state's anti-animal cruelty laws Wednesday, alleging they are contributing to the high cost of egg prices and are superseded by a federal law regulating egg quality, inspection and packaging.
In its complaint, the Justice Department is attempting to block state laws that require additional space for hen-growing chickens, arguing they are "unnecessary red tape" and "do not advance consumer welfare."
"California has effectively prevented farmers across the country from using a number of agricultural production methods which were in widespread use and which helped keep eggs affordable," the Justice Department wrote in its civil complaint.
Two California ballot initiatives, passed in 2008 and 2018, mandate higher standards and housing requirements for hen-laying chickens and eggs sold in the state, requiring the birds to be given enough space to extend their limbs and move without touching another bird.
The 2018 ballot initiative also bars hens from being kept in any "enclosure other than a cage-free housing system" and mandates space requirements for breeding pigs and calves raised for veal.

I don't know about this one. There is a doctrine of federal supremacy that says that any state law that conflicts with federal law is null and void. There's always a question about whether the federal law is "so comprehensive" as to preclude any state laws in this area.

And also: The federal government's power to intrude into state law is limited, or at least was intended to be limited.

Eh, I think it's weak. But I do like that Trump is hitting the idea that it's the left responsible for inflation and high prices, and he's doing what he can to improve things.

Lawfare for me? Then lawfare for thee.

Also: Trump is shutting down a Clinton-era policy that allows illegal aliens to use taxpayer educational funds to pay for schooling.

President Donald Trump's Department of Education announced Thursday that it will end a Clinton-era policy allowing illegal immigrants to access taxpayer funds for technical and career schools.
Key Details:
The Department of Education revoked a 1997 Clinton administration interpretation allowing illegal immigrants to access federal career and technical education funds.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon said taxpayer funds should be reserved for American citizens and legal residents.
Enforcement of the new interpretation begins August 9, 2025, following President Trump's February executive order ending subsidization for illegal immigrants.
Diving Deeper:
The Department of Education announced Thursday that it is formally revoking a rule put in place under President Bill Clinton allowing illegal immigrants to access taxpayer-funded programs in career, technical, and adult education. The Clinton administration issued a 1997 Dear Colleague Letter interpreting the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) to exempt these programs, effectively opening federal funding to illegal immigrants.
Under the Trump administration, the Education Department is now reversing that interpretation. The Department notified postsecondary education providers that they will no longer be able to operate under Clinton-era standards and will be required to verify the eligibility of participants for these programs.
"Postsecondary education programs funded by the federal government should benefit American citizens, not illegal aliens," Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated. "Under President Trump's leadership, hardworking American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for illegal aliens to participate in our career, technical, or adult education programs or activities."

Below, Transin' Newsom is incensed that Trump is trying to roll back trans rights all the way back to (checks calendar) 2016.

You are discussing the old era of E.C. Knight's dual federalism as applied to the commerce clause. Essentially though NLRB v Jones and Laughlin Steel and West Coast Hotel v. Parrish indicate that a state can regulate its own producers but NOT bar producers from other states from selling to vendors in that state.

California can cripple its own producers of pork and eggs, but not exclude Iowa's producers from selling to CA supermarkets.

53 And in instances where federal regulations of the marketplace exist, they override state regulations under the dormant commerce clause.

After Wickard and reemphasized by Raich, states can only regulate where fedgov is silent and fed power is absolute over commerce when exercised. That was one of the primary reasons that the constitutional convention was convened.

To fix the states monkeying up commerce among the states and specifically all the Framers agreed that state power had to be overridden via the supremacy clause in areas where the federal government has an enumerated power to regulate (aka commerce among the states).

The exception is when a state is allowed concurrent power (see state pollution control agencies or food production regulation) or federal regulatory power is absent when the subject is commerce.

If a chicken's internal organs are infected by Salmonella (usually via food or water transmission) then it lays Salmonella contaminated eggs. Field raised chickens almost always have a greater need (for commercial operations) for antibiotics, dewormers, and other medications because field conditions are less than sterile.

That is because chickens are essentially scavengers that can and do eat their own and other's crap among other nasty things. Left to their own devices, chickens can even be cannibalistic. Essentially dinosaur descendants with feathers.

Farm raised pigs on grazing land can have similar food safety issues.

Never assume what is natural is necessary safe and healthy (naturalistic fallacy btw).

NLRB uses the limiting major effects test on commerce clause and whether Wickard or Raich were involved, it is fair to say that NLRB would still permit that.

EC Knight was another bad decision from a particularly bad Scotus led by CJ Fuller. Other winners include Lochner, Plessy v. Ferguson, and Pollock. All of these show the limits of pragmatic corporate lawyer types placed on Scotus. They tend to justify whatever passes for thought in corporate circles.

But they aren't. Never. If you look of the photos and videos of the winning "trans" athletes, they are PROUD of themselves for blatantly cheating. Never any shame. Never any embarrassment. Never any self-doubt.

This whole problem would evaporate if these people had the slightest iota of self-consciousness. But there's something deeply wrong with them, and it's not even the "trans" gender stuff. They can have 6 billion people pointing out they they are immoral cheaters, and their response is to smile and wave and feel sanctimonious in their villainy.

They're all severely mentally ill, but not in the way people think they are.

That's not my primary concern. The chickens in the big factories are frankenchickens (cornish cross for meat birds, for example) who live a freakishly accelerated life cycle in a tiny cramped warehouse living in their own shit with only minimal ability to move.

They get in constant fights with each other, and are stressed out for their entire lives. Thus why the default for chicken feed includes antibiotics, because they're always all scrappy and cut up from the jostling and fighting.

Then we eat them.

Diseases are what they are. Yes, birds who spend their entire lives in warehouses are much less likely to catch diseases from nature then the birds who wander around outside, but that's a trade off.

If the law says "female" then there needs to be a definable measure of "female". Just like there is for weight class.

Female = XX chromosomes.

People with different chromosomes can compete, they just compete against the men, not the women. They compete in their weight class.

Even the fallback to NLRB would cause CA law to fail. Simply put, CA can disadvantage its own producers but lacks the power to constrain those outside its jurisdiction via long arm statutes. Not really a case about state power internally via the 10th but its power to extort other states to follow CA regulatory schemes. Even under EC Knight, that might be problematic.

Even worse is the forced contact in locker rooms while unclothed. Worse than that is forcing sharing rooms while on the road and even in dorms. These are sexual assaults.

I agree. Chickens like to move around and peck at shit (and each other).

And I think both the meat and eggs taste much better when chickens are free to be chickens.

Raising them in an environment where they literally can't move because they're in a crowd crush like they're at a travis scott concert is just kind of gross.

I missed the part where Cernovich is a specialist in agricultural practices.

He can still buy whatever eggs from CA producers that he wishes but he cannot and should not as a CA resident be able to bar a commercial producer of pork, chicken, and eggs from being able to sell to other willing consumers in CA.

CA is purposefully raising prices on subsistence foods for the public as well as energy prices for political gain. Even a majority of Californians has no power to compel other states from selling in CA.

State powers to do that were circumscribed during the Constitutional Convention and on purpose.

No, their interest is maximizing yield of meat (or eggs) per pound of food eaten by the animal.

I'm arguing that there should be other factors at play other than "what is the cheapest way to produce chicken (or eggs)?"

In other words, existing "food safety" laws are the reason for the current situation.

216 Focusing on the important things I see. The same people who bash the WNBA constantly are all of a sudden concerned about women's sports. Makes a ton of sense.

Is it not at all strange that the US government is involved in policing sports in the first place? Imagine if the government had its hands this deep in any other kind of game. Chess, Call of Duty, Magic the Gathering...It would be really fucking weird, wouldn't it?

Every state that has a trans athlete ban has gone on to put more and more laws into place that target us, making existing in public difficult or impossible to do safely. It was never about fairness in sports and always about finding any reason to justify othering us, demonizing us, and eliminating us.

So that whole "Trump believes in States rights which is why he pushed for Roe V Wade to be overturned so each State can decide what's best for their citizens" was nothing but bullshit and now the government has the final say?

Posted by: Smell the Glove at July 10, 2025 02:43 PM (JtH6i)

She has a second wedding to pay for? They stole the money from the Haiti earthquakes to pay for her first wedding. Running the same scam all over again sounds like Clintons.

The thing is, they tried to make Chelsea a thing. Gave her a talk show gig, tried to foist her on liberal AWFL mommies. IT bombed. She has zero personality and a wet noodle was funnier. I don't see a career in politics for her.

She got a small win with the money laundering behind that stupid "They Persisted!" children's book series about famous strong women she "helped create." I think she's fine living a luxe life behind the scenes. Like the Obama girl nepo babies, she has dreams of ambition but a soft life. She'll coast on that until she dies.

As much as I despise the Momdanis, Newsomes, Sandy Cortez's of the world, they do have a spark of charisma that makes them compelling enough to appeal to a voter. Chelsea Clinton is like anti charisma. A charisma black hole. And she's too pale and stale for these times.

225 Every state that has a trans athlete ban has gone on to put more and more laws into place that target us, making existing in public difficult or impossible to do safely. It was never about fairness in sports and always about finding any reason to justify othering us, demonizing us, and eliminating us.

Trannies are free to do whatever they want at home with whatever adult partner they can convince to participate with them.

But like other sexual antics it should stay at home - not in front of kids. And if you want to do sexual things in front of kids you belong in prison.

Posted by: Oldcat

You would be wrong. It is very easy to transmit a virus and the better run farms take great extent to keep from outside sources transmitting viruses to livestock. Most ban outside visitors from other farms, sales personnel, etc. from visiting the confinement houses. Because once the disease gets into a confined flock, it can be disastrous.

In part, that is why China repeatedly is and was a source for many livestock viruses that jumped the gap to humans. They literally live with their pigs, chickens, etc. Thus, aerial spread viruses such as flu due to proximity and dose (along with smoking, poor ventiliation, etc) create a petri dish for raising viruses.

But, there is also the problem with vaxx. Marek's disease is an example where a vaxx in the 70's created a dependency on continued vaxx.

By interfering with survival of the fittest, the vaxx for Mareks created a vax dependency where non vaxxed chickens die as it has destroyed native immunity to Mareks.

When I used to travel to China and had chickens at home, I always spent a few weeks isolating myself from my birds in case I picked up some weird Chinese bird flu.

And yes, wild birds do take a lot of interest in chickens and in the chickens food. I once had a blue heron try to, ahem, get a little too friendly with one of my hens. I was not too pleased.

I agree, it is a trade off. Birds outside are much more likely to come in contact with wild birds and other vectors for disease than birds in a warehouse are.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket at July 10, 2025 03:04 PM (ULPxl)

I never raised chickens commercially, but from what I understand from people who have done so, "organic" is a third party label (like the good housekeeping stamp of approval or whatever), that has strict and pedantic regulations and is not worth getting involved in for most farmers. For example, if a cow cuts her leg on a fence, you are not allowed to give her antibiotics. So you either see if she heals on her own or dies from infection. Obviously that's a waste of money and meat and most people would be fine with eating beef that got proper medical treatment.

The issue is the routine use of hormones and antibiotics and vaccines and everything else thats mixed in with commercial feed. That shit gets in our food supply.

Plus the inhumane treatment of animals in factory farms is pretty gross to a lot of people (me included).

You would find those far better than pictures from slaughterhouse for animals.

The should be whether or not the food is healthy and nutritious. Farmers have made great strides in the US to do so. Not so much for figuring out the optimal happyness of animals apart from gross calculations of yield aka weight on animals or the proportion of egg laying. Stressed animals of any sort fail to put on weight, don't lay eggs, don't give milk, don't breed. It is nature's way of self limiting the population.

I see the same talk by urban and suburban types regarding hunting. Then they get involved in whether or not some animal should be hunted.

Nature is often shocking cruel, violent, and absent of anything other than the law of the jungle. It ain't Disney out there. And one of the cruelest fate is not the gunshot that kills Bambi's mother but the relentless effects of starvation and disease when you ban it.

I didn't really answer your question though. Yes, it will likely be more expensive to raise animals how they were raised prior to the introduction of mass factory farming.

How much more expensive? It's hard to say. We can look to European countries and compare our prices to theirs, but there are a lot more factors at play.

299 There other shenanigans going on in an effort to confiscate property that started the week after the fires were put down. What the municipality did is require property owners to use the City designated debris removal services only. These limited entities (chosen by the City) are over charging. It gets tacked onto the Property tax invoice. Refusal to pay allows the city to put a lien on the property after condemning for safety reasons. Long term refusal results in an auction (in which developers swoop in and grab prime property).

Commercial operations have the greatest incentive of all to avoid animal cruelty--it affects their profits.

One finds far more animal cruelty and neglect among the general populace for domestic animals and lazy backyard farmers not raising for a profit.

Animal abandonment, starvation, and neglect on spending for medical care, etc. are common.

PETA itself is famous for slaughtering dogs, cats, or whatever comes within its grasp because dead animals don't consume their donations. HSPCA is another horrible organization.

378 Not very persuasive.

As I recall, much the same argument was made to claim that slavery wasn't cruel.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia
===========
Not really. You are putting animals into human terms which is unpersuasive itself. They ain't humans. So you can feel free to not consume animals anytime that you like or even food.

FWIW, By the time of the ACW, slavery was unprofitable except to a) sell new slaves westward, and b) cotton. Those that trained a slave to serve as skilled labor faced the real possibility of them fleeing to a free state as Frederick Douglass did. Those that allowed literacy, etc. of their slaves made them more human.

One of the problems that ended up draining a lot of eastern plantations was the soil was exhausted, their labor force aging, and Southern laws compelled slave owners to keep old slaves kept up with food, etc. The old solution before the 1820-30's was manumitting them when they aged. South though restricted that due to fears of a large free black population so the only thing left for older plantations was to breed slaves. The import ban, soil exhaustion via cotton, and western lands helped with that awful market.

Hillary continues to force herself into the public eye as she tries to change her epitaph from "2-Time Loser, Scorned Wife" to something more favorable. The Chelsea Project could help.

Blonde Morticia, you are so right. And I'm sure the CGI employees are doing the pushing too. "You're talents are SO wasted here, Chelsea! You should run for office!"

I think deep in their souls, these political nebo babies and minor celebs WANT to matter. They know they lead useless lives. I think the divine in us craves purpose. Unfortunately the liberals have taught her since childhood to use that divine spark of purpose in a twisted way: to grift, steal, and desire to dominate/bully others.

Most farmers markets are fake nowadays. If the produce is uniform and pretty; if there's any barcode stickers; if the booth has stacks of branded produce boxes etc. Then they are resellers who buy produce from the same wholesaler as your local grocery chain.

I only said eggs because that is what the people are arguing about now but I do think it should all be publicly accessible.

So what if people are revolted -- that is the point. Teach these idiots what the world really is about. I think it will do both - inform the public to make them less priggish, and improve some of the worst practices.

Ace, it's war. Have you not said that already umpteen times?

If the enemy keeps attacking you with poison gas, at some point you need to quit whining about the Geneva Protocol and gas their asses right back.

The stakes are too high to take the damn high road. This isn't a limited conflict. This is total war for all civilization. Quit letting the enemy use your morals against you.

"Lawfare for me? Then lawfare for thee."

In-f*cking-deed. Tear them limb from limb legally, especially now that things like USAID have been taken from them, and they cannot afford eternal lawfare.

So many on the Right seem to conflate moral victory with actual victory.

In what f*cking war ever, EVER, have the victorious acted absolutely, purely, according to morals?

None. War is hell. War inevitably compromises the warriors.

It's about goddamned time we make it hell for the OTHER side. You win a war by making the OTHER poor dumb bastard suffer for his ideals...
