New mom and marathoner Natalie Daniels was booted from her running club for saying that people who identify as transgender should not compete against biological women in sports. When Daniels began training for the Boston Marathon just a few months postpartum, she interviewed with the organization XX-XY Athletics, a clothing brand which aims to protect women’s sports. Daniels, a five-time marathon winner, advocated for keeping the women’s category solely for biological women. This series of interviews came just after the Boston Marathon allowed a biological male identifying as female to qualify in the women’s division. Although the Boston Marathon has three categories—male, female, and non-binary—organizers nevertheless allowed the biological male into the women’s category. After Daniels spoke out against the unfairness of the decision, Olympian Nikki Hiltz went viral on TikTok, criticizing Daniels. “If you want to throw a fit and be like, ‘I want to drop out,’ then drop out,” Hiltz said. “This person forgot what the point of a marathon is. It’s to complete 26.2 miles and maybe make some friends along the way. Trans women are not stopping you from doing that.” Hiltz, a biological female who identifies as non-binary, argued that because Daniels was not in the running for the top three awards in the marathon, she shouldn’t complain about having a competitor who identified as transgender. Daniels responded in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday. “I am a very competitive person, and I think there are a lot of women who are finishing … even 900th or 901st, who are also competitive. They’re competing for that next spot,” Daniels said. “… [O]ne of the goals that I had going into Boston was to finish in the top 100 women. And so, I was kind of looking ahead of me … and thinking, you know, ‘What if she’s 101st?’” Family Research Council’s Mary Szoch, a former NCAA Division I athlete, weighed in on the matter with The Washington Stand. “Keeping women’s sports for biological women only isn’t about who comes in first or second—it’s about keeping the playing field fair. Without a fair playing field, competition is pointless,” Szoch insisted. “There is a respect that is earned on the track, court, or playing field. But that respect is never earned by cheaters or those who compete unfairly.” Because of Daniels’s stand for biological truth, she received criticism not just from Hiltz, but from her own running club. They told her she was barred from wearing their merchandise during the Boston Marathon since her views did not reflect their opinions. After the race, her club demanded she apologize for what she’d said or be ousted from the group. She did not apologize. Instead, she started her own running club with XX-XY Athletics, called Team Women. Her old running group is in the minority, according to nationwide polling. A New York Times survey earlier this year showed near-consensus against biological men in women’s sports. Almost 80% reject the idea that trans-identifying athletes should compete on or against girls—including 67% of Democrats. Their decision is also at odds with the Donald Trump administration’s executive orders on gender ideology. Earlier this year, the president barred biological males who identify as female from women’s sports in college and K-12 schools.  Despite his order, males who identify as transgender continue to compete against biological women in sports. Recently, the West Virginia governor, Patrick Morrisey, a Republican, spoke out against a 13-year-old biological male identifying as a girl competing in a West Virginia state track meet. “It’s wrong and unfair,” Morrisey said on Facebook. “I’m again urging officials to keep separate scores so that the true winners can be awarded once we win in court.” The court reference he made was a federal appeals court decision that West Virginia is appealing to the Supreme Court. After West Virginia made a law barring males identifying as females from women’s sports, the court ruled that it did not apply to someone who was of the age to be in middle school and who had been taking puberty blockers from a very young age.  Trump’s executive order has recently been making headway in California. The California Interscholastic Federation changed its rules, scoring biological males identifying as female separately from biological women. The California Interscholastic Federation is also allowing women to compete in sports where they previously were unable to qualify, since students identifying as transgender had qualified for limited spots in the women’s division. That had been one of Daniels’s concerns with the Boston Marathon. Only a limited number of women could qualify for the race, and one of the spots was filled by a male identifying as female. “I find it very demeaning,” Daniels told Fox News. “We’re not professional athletes, but that doesn’t mean that our value and our work that we put into what we do is any less worthy of integrity in our race results.” But is making a separate category for people who identify as transgender going to solve the problem? Szoch doesn’t think so. “[T]here should be a category for men and a category for women,” Szoch said. “While I feel for people with gender dysphoria, we shouldn’t be legitimizing their belief that somehow God created them in the wrong body.” Originally published by The Washington Stand.

The economy has done better under the Trump administration than the Biden administration, or should I say things are going quite eggcellent! A new USDA report has revealed that eggs prices have decreased dramatically since President Trump has taken back the White House. In the last year, the price of eggs has skyrocketed due to a bird flu outbreak that killed nearly 170 million chickens. This forced the United States to import eggs from Brazil, Turkey, and South Korea, which resulted in a price hike. However, according to the USDA’s latest report, President Trump has lowered the price of eggs nearly 61% since taking office. Fox Business provided the raw numbers: The most recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows white, large shell eggs are now $2.52 per dozen nationally. On Jan. 21, that same carton of eggs would have run an American about $6.49, according to data website Trading Economics. Trading Economics shows eggs were over $8 a dozen the first week of March. “Shell egg demand posted a slight improvement headed into the Memorial Day weekend but remained well below average in the continuation of a trend that began during the sharp price increases in late winter,” the USDA Egg Markets Overview weekly publication said. Back in April, a study by Clarify Capital said over 30% of Americans had stopped buying eggs due to their exorbitant cost. Weaker demand and a lull in new cases of bird flu helped cool prices, analysts said at the time. Here’s a visual: The media won’t tell you this… but egg prices have crashed 62% since President Trump took office! From $6.55 $2.52 per dozen — a HUGE win for hardworking Americans. They screamed when prices were up…Now? Crickets. Trump delivers. Again. pic.twitter.com/3VwXcNVD5g — Charlie Kirk Commentary (@CharlieK_news) May 31, 2025 Some users on X have found egg prices way below the $2.52 per dozen price: Egg prices are on sale for $1.99 today. Thank you, President Trump! pic.twitter.com/sUXTGB3cd7 — Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) May 4, 2025 Despite the lowered egg prices, the White House is preparing to be ready for the next bird flu outbreak. Here’s their plan: Trump’s Sec of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says the solution to high egg prices for Americans is to get some chickens and raise them in your backyard. pic.twitter.com/sYFAYKeR5Q — Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) March 3, 2025 Are you down with raising chickens?

The California High School Track and Field Championships have been in the news since news hit that a BOY would be competing against the girls. Didn’t President Trump already address this issue?  (Yes — but apparently that fight isn’t over yet.) Police had to step in Saturday night when things got rowdy. One protester was arrested, but I’m seeing video that shows at least one other person was detained. AB Hernandez smoked the girls he competed against in the preliminaries, and that’s when things got sketchy. The plane flying overhead with a “NO BOYS IN GIRLS’ SPORTS!” banner might have gotten under the skin of those who rallied in favor of Hernandez’ lofty goal of beating his FEMALE competition: No Boys In Girls Sports banner flying over CIF Track and Field Chanpionship at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Clovis CA! CA democrats take note. pic.twitter.com/GrJeEFKvJO — Oreo Express (@OreoExpress) May 30, 2025 But after Hernandez easily outmatched the girls, chants of “No boys in girls’ sports” started up from the crowd. That’s when the pro-trans protesters took it up a notch. The local Fox affiliate posted this clip showing the protester who was arrested just outside the event, and another that was allegedly pepper sprayed: A protester was caught on video Friday attacking a vehicle outside the California Interscholastic Federation State Track and Field Championships taking place in Clovis this weekend. They were later arrested. https://t.co/8AhUb7vLaV pic.twitter.com/h8DHGtUSCd — FOX26 News (@KMPHFOX26) May 31, 2025 Here’s the full screen video for convenience: A protester was caught on video Friday attacking a vehicle outside the California Interscholastic Federation State Track and Field Championships taking place in Clovis this weekend. They were later arrested. https://t.co/8AhUb7vLaV pic.twitter.com/h8DHGtUSCd — FOX26 News (@KMPHFOX26) May 31, 2025 The person shown to be in cuffs, obviously suffering from pepper spray, may have only been detained — there is no confirmation of that arrest that I can find. But the LGBTQ protester shown in the video attacking the man filming from his vehicle was arrested, as reported by Fox News: The California track and field state championship prelim round in Clovis on Friday was a scene of conflicting beliefs and even police intervention amid an ongoing controversy involving a trans athlete competing in the girls’ category. At least one person was arrested, the Clovis Police Department confirmed Fox News Digital. The person arrested was a protester who is accused of shattering a car window with a flag pole. The department confirmed the person arrested was an LGBTQ activist. The person has been arrested for assault with a weapon and obstructing a police, according to Sergeant Chris Hutchison. “We don’t have room for violence or property damage or anything like that,” Hutchison. “California is beginning to reap the consequences of defying federal law and brazenly harming girls,” said Kim Jones, co-founder of ICONS in a press release announcing the aerial banner. “How long will Governor Newsom and legislators in this state continue to prioritize granting a few boys the right to take opportunities and recognition away from girls? Not one single boy should ever be in girls’ sports. It’s the easiest problem in the world to solve—and the most brazen public ‘screw you’ to female athletes by Democrat leadership. Since when do we tell a single boy he is more important than every girl in the competition? That he has the right to ruin sports for all of them? It’s time for California to pay and it’s time to right these wrongs.” Witnesses at the event told Fox News Digital that pro-transgender protesters attended the event in support of transgender athlete AB Hernandez. The meet and the California Interscholastic Federation’s (CIF) entire track and field postseason has been under a national microscope in recent weeks. Trans athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley High School has dominated the girls’ track and field postseason in 2025, prompting national backlash and even the attention of President Donald Trump. I found an interview that just came out of the man who was attacked by that protester. He basically holds that this is a simple issue, and it shouldn’t be a point of conflict. Check out that clip: There has actually been a rule change for the event because of the controversy. But that hasn’t stopped the conflict. Here’s a report from the local NBC affiliate that reported live from the event last night. Their coverage includes an explanation of the rule change designed to calm the turmoil: The problem with that rule change is that the girls competing still have to “share” a podium. That’s just ridiculous and demeaning. How about we have girls compete against girls, and boys compete against boys? Hernandez went on to completely obliterate all the female ‘competition’, according to the Daily Mail: Trans athlete Hernandez made headlines after beating her biologically female opponents at the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Masters Meet last weekend for a spot in this week’s State Championships And she continued to controversially dominate as the preliminary qualifying events for the state finals kickstarted at Buchanan High School, Clovis on Friday afternoon. Hernandez sealed her place in three finals – high jump, long jump and triple jump – which will take place Saturday, after coming out on top in all preliminary heats. She finished the triple jump with a mark close to 41 feet, nearly 10 inches ahead of her closest competitor, San Francisco Bay Area junior Kira Gant Hatcher. Hernandez also led in the long jump with a mark close to 20 feet to advance to the final. She advanced in the high jump, clearing 5 feet, 5 inches with ease. The prelim results now leave the transgender athlete in prime position to claim a podium finish over her opponents in Saturday’s finals. However, her participation continued to spark outrage as many gathered to voice their furious opposition to the CIF’s decision to allow her to compete. One protestor, Fernando Banuelos from Fresno, CA told Daily Mail: ‘It’s unfair AB Hernandez is competing today. He is taking away from actually biological females. The reason he is competing with women is he can’t beat men.’ After President Trump already addressed this issue, I’m seeing this as intentional pushback from the pro-trans groups who want payback. This has all the looks of a setup, designed to create upheaval. Unfortunately for them, they might get more legal pushback than they expected, if the Trump Administration does what I expect and takes California to court over the whole thing. I’m looking for a response from President Trump.  And judging from his past involvement in this issue, he’ll probably come out swinging.

This is concerning. A bad actor is attempting to impersonate President Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. President Trumptly selected Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff shortly after winning the 2024 presidential election. She formerly served as his senior campaign director. The move by Trump made Wiles the first woman ever to hold the position. TRUMP, who Mark Cuban said can’t stand being around “strong, intelligent women,” just named Susie Wiles “the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history.” pic.twitter.com/ONvQyaiQLY — Spencer Brown (@itsSpencerBrown) November 7, 2024 Just months into her reign as the chief of staff, she is facing a significant security threat with the FBI’s concern. The FBI has reported that Wiles’s phone was hacked, and an unknown suspect is impersonating her and reaching out to her contacts. The Daily Wire broke down the story: Someone is impersonating President Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, in texts and phone calls — and the FBI is investigating. Wiles, who is the first female chief of staff in U.S. history, has revealed contacts were hacked from her personal, not her government, cellphone, The Wall Street Journal reported. Other top officials in the Trump administration were contacted via the fake identity. “The FBI takes all threats against the president, his staff, and our cybersecurity with the utmost seriousness,” FBI Director Kash Patel stated. “Safeguarding our administration officials’ ability to securely communicate to accomplish the president’s mission is a top priority.” Government officials believe that artificial intelligence was used in the fake messages. “It became clear to some of the lawmakers that the requests were suspicious when the impersonator began asking questions about Trump that Wiles should have known the answers to—and in one case, when the impersonator asked for a cash transfer, some of the people said,” the Journal wrote. Another clue leading to suspicion was the broken grammar used by the impersonator. FBI Probes White House Imposter One or more unknown people accessed White House chief of staff Susie Wiles’ personal cellphone and used her contacts file to reach out to other top officials and impersonate her, sources told CBS News Thursday. pic.twitter.com/8d0q3ie0H1 — America Out Loud News (@OutLoudNews) May 30, 2025 The FBI previously released a service announcment regarding criminals impersonating elected officials and their staffers: The FBI is issuing this announcement to warn and provide mitigation tips to the public about an ongoing malicious text and voice messaging campaign. Since April 2025, malicious actors have impersonated senior US officials to target individuals, many of whom are current or former senior US federal or state government officials and their contacts. If you receive a message claiming to be from a senior US official, do not assume it is authentic. The malicious actors have sent text messages and AI-generated voice messages — techniques known as smishing and vishing, respectively — that claim to come from a senior US official in an effort to establish rapport before gaining access to personal accounts. One way the actors gain such access is by sending targeted individuals a malicious link under the guise of transitioning to a separate messaging platform. Access to personal or official accounts operated by US officials could be used to target other government officials, or their associates and contacts, by using trusted contact information they obtain. Contact information acquired through social engineering schemes could also be used to impersonate contacts to elicit information or funds. “Smishing” is the malicious targeting of individuals using Short Message Service (SMS) or Multimedia Message Service (MMS) text messaging. “Vishing”, which may incorporate AI-generated voices, is the malicious targeting of individuals using voice memos. Both smishing and vishing use tactics similar to spear phishing, which uses email to target specific individuals or groups. Traditionally, malicious actors have leveraged smishing, vishing, and spear phishing to transition to a secondary messaging platform where the actor may present malware or introduce hyperlinks that direct intended targets to an actor-controlled site that steals log-in information, like user names and passwords. For smishing, malicious actors typically use software to generate phone numbers that are not attributed to a specific mobile phone or subscriber to engage with a target by masquerading as an associate or family member. For vishing, malicious actors are more frequently exploiting AI-generated audio to impersonate well-known, public figures or personal relations to increase the believability of their schemes.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—There’s something almost poetic about the Democratic Party’s desperation. Faced with a mass exodus of young men from their ranks, the Left’s solution isn’t to rethink their disastrous policies or the cultural rot they’ve championed. Nope, they’ve decided to shell out tens of millions of dollars to study us. Not talk to us. Not listen. Not ask honest questions. Just study us—like we’re alien creatures under a microscope.  That’s not strategy; it’s stupidity. And worse, it shows how wildly out of touch Democrats have become with reality, especially the reality young men live every day. You couldn’t make this up if you tried. Let’s get one thing straight: No amount of polling, focus groups, or think-tank memos is going to win back the respect of my generation. Because Gen Z guys aren’t confused about why we’re walking away—we’re walking away because the modern Democratic Party has spent years demonizing us, mocking masculinity, and replacing real leadership with TikTok cringe and rainbow flag activism. We’ve been told we’re toxic if we believe in traditional values. We’re called privileged if we work hard and succeed. We’re branded threats if we dare to question liberal narratives on gender, race, or the role of government. And now, when that propaganda isn’t working anymore, they’re throwing cash at consultants to figure out why. It’s laughable. And it’s offensive. If Democrats truly wanted to connect with young men, they’d have to do something radical—something they’ve proven time and time again they’re unwilling to do: Tell the truth. The truth about crime. The truth about border security. The truth about the value of hard work, responsibility, and yes—masculinity. But they won’t. Because to embrace those values would be to admit their entire cultural agenda for the last decade has been a failure. So instead, they’ll burn through tens of millions of dollars trying to “understand” us—money that will go straight into the pockets of overpaid consultants, liberal marketers, and out-of-touch campaign staff who think a few new slogans and a TikTok dance will change the tide. It won’t. If anything, it’ll backfire. Young men aren’t hard to figure out. We want freedom. We want opportunity. We want leaders who won’t apologize for loving America. We want a government that works for us—not against us. We’re tired of being ignored. We’re tired of being blamed. And we’re definitely tired of being studied like we’re some great political mystery. We’re not a mystery. We’re a movement. The fact that the Left is admitting they have to invest tens of millions of dollars just to understand us proves how disconnected they are from the very people they claim to care about. And it’s not just embarrassing, it’s revealing. It shows that even now, they still think politics is something you can buy. But here’s the truth they refuse to learn: no amount of money will make my generation go back to a party that’s lied to us, mocked us, and tried to erase everything we believe in. The Democrats want to know why they’re losing Gen Z men? It’s simple: because we’ve seen what they offer and we’re not buying it. Let them keep setting their money on fire. The rest of us are building something real. We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal.
