The woke public school district in Loudoun County, Virginia, has for years been a key battleground in the war over gender ideology, the primary victims of which have been children. For instance, a skirt-wearing male who identified as "non-binary" took advantage of Loudoun County Public Schools' ideological capture in 2021, entered the girls' restroom, and raped a 15-year-old female student. While students and parents have spoken out against the invasion of female spaces by opportunistic boys, gender-bending incursions in the district are not unidirectional. A female transvestite has reportedly been using the boys' locker room at Stone Bridge High. Following a gym class in March, she allegedly videotaped three boys in the locker room who were discussing their discomfort over her presence. In a bizarre twist, LCPS has launched a Title IX investigation into the boys for supposed sexual harassment, reported WJLA-TV. 'They're expressing their opinions, and now they're being targeted for expressing those opinions.' "We're concerned," a father of one of the boys under investigation for supposed sexual harassment told WJLA. "He was questioning why there was a female in the males' locker room." "And other boys were uncomfortable [with a female in the boys' locker room]," continued the father. "There were other boys asking the same question. They [LCPS] created a very uncomfortable situation. They're young; they're 15 years old. They're expressing their opinions, and now they're being targeted for expressing those opinions." According to the father, the boys weren't directly interacting with the female student but were rather "having a conversation with their peer group." "I don't think my son should be punished for expressing his First Amendment right and being able to ask questions," said the father. "If you were to get a sexual harassment charge on your record, even at a young age, I'm sure that's going to follow you around." The father also questioned why the transvestic student isn't facing serious consequences for allegedly filming minors in a locker room, especially when LCPS policy explicitly prohibits photography, audio, or video recording in bathrooms, locker rooms, changing areas, and clinics. "I have a daughter that's in high school as well, and if there was a male in there videotaping her in the locker room, I would have issues," the father told WJLA. "If it's my son and there's a female in the locker room videotaping, I have issues. Even if it was somebody of the same sex, I believe that this is an invasion of their privacy." The father wants the woke district to drop its Title IX complaint against the boys and suggested it should also axe "Policy 8040: Rights of Transgender and Gender-Expansive Students," which the Loudoun County School Board approved on Aug. 11, 2021. 'Their policies run afoul of President Trump's January 29, 2025, executive order.' "I think the policy itself creates an unsafe environment for all kids at all levels, from the elementary schools and middle school to the high school," said the father. "I think it creates an unsafe and unclear message for them. I think by not having clear policies in line with the presidential mandates that it has actually created these hostile environments and environments that these young boys and young girls do not feel comfortable in." The district's policy not only requires schools to allow "gender-expansive or transgender students to use their chosen name and gender pronouns that reflect their consistently asserted gender identity without any substantiating evidence," but to also allow students to "use the facility that corresponds to their consistently asserted gender identity." LCPS may not ultimately have a choice in whether it drops the policy. On Feb. 3, America First Legal submitted a Title IX complaint to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights alleging that the "transgender" policies embraced by LCPS and other districts in Virginia "provide greater rights to students whose 'gender identity' does not match their biological sex than it does to students whose 'gender identity' matches their biological sex.'" Ian Prior, senior adviser at AFL, added, "The policies of the five Northern Virginia public school systems have eliminated the protections that Title IX requires of K-12 institutions that accept federal funding, and their policies run afoul of President Trump's January 29, 2025, executive order." The OCR responded a week later, indicating it would investigate the schools for possible Title IX violations. This is not the only fight with the federal government the district has on its hands. Loudoun County Superintendent Aaron Spence notified the Trump administration last month that LCPS would not submit a certification affirming that the district follows federal anti-discrimination law and regulations prohibiting discrimination based on race. WJLA indicated that neither Spence nor any of the school board members have responded to its requests for comment regarding the investigation into the boys' apparent discomfort over the transvestite in their locker room. 'So open-minded their brain falls out.' Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) said in response to the woke district's investigation, "This is exactly why these schools should be adopting Governor Youngkin's model policies." In July 2023, the Virginia Department of Education released its final Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia's Public Schools, which not only emphasize parents' rights "to make decisions with respect to their children," but require schools to use students' real names; refer to students with the pronouns in accordance with the sex indicated on their official record unless given a formal written request by parents; and require that students use sex-segregated school facilities that correspond with their biological sex. "What you reported I find to be outrageous — that these young boys presumably felt uncomfortable," Miyares told WJLA. "They're 15 years old. We all were teenagers at one point. I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would be to have a member of the opposite sex in the locker room where people were obviously changing clothes and then later, on top of that, recording it." "Even though they're the victims in this, somehow, they're being treated as perpetrators. I think this is an example, yet again, [of] a school district that tries to be so open-minded their brain falls out," added the state AG, borrowing a quote from the English author G.K. Chesterton. "If this was 20 years ago, nobody in their right mind would think this was a smart policy. Yet here we are today," added Miyares. The Virginia AG hinted there was little that either his or Governor Glenn Youngkin's offices presently could do about the matter — especially given the Virginia Human Rights Act's carve-out for educational institutions — and stressed that the Trump administration's investigation will be "critically important." Miyares noted further that the new Loudoun County School Board should take a vote on Policy 8040 so that parents know where members stand when it comes to letting transvestites slip into the opposite sex's locker rooms and bathrooms.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said he will not be supporting Ed Martin, President Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., which could lead to some unintended consequences. After meeting with Martin Monday night, Tillis told reporters that he opposed Martin's nomination due to "concerns related to January 6." Notably, Martin was a defense attorney for January 6 protesters and has long advocated for those who he says were wrongly prosecuted in the aftermath of the riot for political purposes. With Tillis acting as a roadblock to Trump's agenda, it's possible that Boasberg will be able to tilt the scales in his favor. "I met with Mr. Martin; he seems like a good man," Tillis said. "Most of my concerns related to January 6, and he built a compelling case on some of the 15 or 12 prosecutions that were probably 'heat of the moment' bad decisions. But where we probably have a difference is I think anybody that breached the perimeter should have been in prison for some period of time. Whether it's 30 days or three years is debatable, but I have no tolerance for anybody who entered the building on January 6.""If Mr. Martin were being put forth as a U.S. attorney for any district except the district where January 6 happened, the protest happened, I'd probably support him," Tillis added. "But not in this district."Martin has been serving as interim U.S. attorney for the district since Trump's inauguration, but his interim term is set to expire on May 19. If the Senate fails to confirm Martin before then, his replacement will be chosen by activist judge and MAGA combatant Judge James Boasberg. Boasberg has been a thorn in Trump's side for several weeks now, primarily for issuing rulings that have halted and disrupted the administration's efforts to carry out mass deportations. With Tillis acting as a roadblock to Trump's agenda, it's possible that Boasberg will be able to tilt the scales in his favor. Like Blaze News?

For the first time in five years, federal student loan repayments resumed on May 5 — and the media is calling it “tragic” for borrowers. “American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies,” U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said. “The Biden administration misled borrowers: The executive branch does not have the constitutional authority to wipe debt away, nor do the loan balances simply disappear.” McMahon also noted that “hundreds of billions have already been transferred to taxpayers” and “for the sake of their own financial health and our nation’s economic outlook,” borrowers will now be forced to return to paying their student loans. “We all know that this justification for a student loan pause is a drawn out relic that should not be around anymore. The problem is, when you’re trying to win a presidential election, it’s really difficult to say to people, ‘Hey, we’re going to start turning on your payments again.’ Joe Biden didn’t want to say that, so he didn’t say it,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” says. “Now, the media treatment of this, of course, has been exactly what you’d expect. It has been the typical situation where they try to scare everyone and say that Donald Trump is mean,” he continues. On ABC News’ the “Start Here Podcast,” Brad Mielke made the case against student loan borrowers repaying their loans. “It’s important to note that student loan borrowers who couldn’t pay their debts typically don’t pay them not because they don’t want to, but it’s because they simply can’t. So this has been a hardship on them over the last five years, and now for the first, they’re going to have to repay the government in which the Department of Education says they willingly took these loans,” Mielke said on the podcast. “I love the spin here,” Stu says. “They entered into loans that they agreed to go into, number one. Number two, they received the money and utilized that to get a college education.” “It’s not a hardship when everyone’s telling you you don’t have to pay,” he adds.

Intel has revealed that it’s experimenting with direct CPU water cooling, where an Intel CPU package has a waterblock built onto it to remove as much heat as possible from the chip. The company has apparently been working on the tech for years, and says that the system can dissipate a massive 1,000W of thermal energy using standard liquid coolant. Removing heat from the CPU as efficiently as possible has become a huge market in recent years, with many of the best CPU coolers featuring closed-loop liquid cooling systems, where a waterblock and pump unit are attached to the CPU. However, there would be no need for a waterblock if these Intel prototype designs become standard, as it would already be a part of the CPU.

What are the secret room codes in Warzone? Verdansk is back and, arguably, better than ever. Season 3 was a throwback to the very beginning of the iconic battle royale map, and although it had a touch-up in the graphics department, it was the same rip-roaring fun as we remember. Season 3 Reloaded looked to enhance that further, with one of the additions being secret rooms full of loot. Those from way back in the early Warzone days will remember these secret rooms: heavily contested during the initial drop, it was about who could survive the initial firefight, then who had the secret room codes to hand to unlock them. We’ve collected all the locations of the secret rooms in the battle royale, and more importantly, the codes you need to unlock them.

This is one of the earliest lessons you learn in Minecraft, and with Mojang’s latest snapshot, called 25w19a, it’s about to get much easier to pull off those vital ranged shots.

Payday 3 hasn't been quite the success its maker and players might've hoped it would be. As the third entry to one of the most popular series of co-op games to date, expectations were high for the latest from creator Starbreeze Studios. Unfortunately, the FPS has struggled to meet those expectations, failing to grab attention from players content with multiplayer competitors like Helldivers 2, GTFO, or even Payday 2. While Starbreeze has continued to work on the game, issuing fairly regular updates, the latest move by the studio seems to be the most consequential to date: acquiring Payday 3's publishing rights.
