The Daughters of the American Revolution National Board of Management on Saturday rejected a proposal from its Texas chapter to keep trans-identifying men out of the group. In a letter to the Martha Laird Chapter, the DAR National Board of Management, said it “found the proposed amendment” to prohibit all men, including trans-identifying males, from the group “not to be suitable for inclusion in the bylaws and not to be in the best interest of the Society.” “The board rejected the proposed amendments in their entirety. The proposed amendments will not be forwarded to the 134th Continental Congress,” it added, noting it will continue to allow “state-certified birth certificates” and not base membership on “chromosomal DNA tests to establish an applicant’s sex.” Daily Wire host Michael Knowles revealed — in a viral thread on X — how a group of DAR members were “channeling the rebellious spirit of their forebears” by fighting back “this time building a larger, grassroots effort to affirm the original intent of the bylaws and prevent men from continuing to invade their genealogical society.” The Daily Wire spoke to Martha Laird Chapter Recording Secretary Laura McDonald after the vote, and she said the chapter was “disappointed but not discouraged.” “The rejection of our proposal to define a woman in our bylaws from the National Board of Management sadly confirms what we knew all along. That is a political stance the leadership is taking,” McDonald said. “We have another proposal ready, and our chapter will vote at our next meeting in March,” she added. “The language of the new proposal will be slightly tweaked to accommodate the concerns the NBM addressed in their rejection letter.” “We are looking forward to this process again in the coming year. Our goal is to restore our iconic, historic and once prestigious American institution founded by women, for women, and we intend to see it through,” McDonald continued. In January, the Texas chapter decided to fight back against its national organization’s decision to allow trans-identifying males into their organization, as The Daily Wire reported. In a letter, the chapter pushed back against a threat from its leadership that by prohibiting transgender males, the DAR would somehow lose its tax-exempt status, Fox News reported. “Members have been told that in order to keep our nonprofit status we must allow men who submit an altered birth certificate indicating they are female to be eligible members,” a letter on the DAR Facebook page read. “Our hope is that once members and the NBM can feel confident that our nonprofit status is not in jeopardy, they will no longer feel intimidated and vote to allow this bylaw amendment to be heard at Continental Congress.” The vote comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order stating that the United States will only recognize two genders.

The Poynter Institute for Media Studies is a left-wing hive of activists badly disguised as journalists. They run the very biased “fact-checker” PolitiFact, and one of its executives, Kelly McBride, moonlights as the baldly boosterish “public editor” making excuses for National Public Radio. Tom Jones—not the hip-swaying Welsh pop singer—is their resident Brian Stelter, penning a daily media newsletter. Check out this headline: “Fox News goes all in on MAGA by adding a Trump to the payroll.” “The network continues to peddle itself as a legitimate news outlet,” the subhead reads. “Hiring the sitting president’s daughter-in-law makes that claim indefensible.” Fox News is creating a Saturday night show hosted by Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of the sitting president. Just like Stelter, Jones ripped Fox as “simply an extension of the Republican Party and, in particular, a megaphone for Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. … ‘News’ really doesn’t belong in the network’s name.” He underlined it, with a rhetorical highlighter: “If Fox News really does see itself as a legitimate news outlet, then the hire of Lara Trump is just baffling. … Don’t they see the obvious conflict of interest?” It’s very easy to point out that NBC News hired Chelsea Clinton as an “objective” reporter. NBC still pays Jenna Bush Hager as a morning show host. But Jones said that’s different: Trump is in office now. Chelsea Clinton was making $600,000 a year for doing less than one fluffy feature story a month as her mother, Hillary Rodham Clinton, prepared for a 2016 run for the White House. She resigned before it became too obvious. But if a news network is “not legitimate” for hiring a Trump while Trump is president, what about hiring a former Biden press secretary as a contributor, and later as a host of a weekend show, while Joe Biden is still president? Jones and Poynter didn’t see that as a problem for MSNBC—at all. Jen Psaki was still in the White House while she negotiated that deal. They seem incapable of imagining anyone could write “MSNBC goes all in on Team Brandon by adding a White House spokesman to the payroll.” Jones greeted the Psaki news with pure gush: “Psaki has earned rave reviews for the job she has done. Chris Wallace, back when he was with Fox News, called Psaki ‘one of the best press secretaries ever.’” What about Kamala Harris’ “chief spokesperson,” Symone Sanders-Townsend? In the very same newsletter, Jones expressed zero concerns, just this blurb: “The debut of ‘Symone’—MSNBC’s show hosted by Symone Sanders, a former senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris—debuts Saturday at 4 p.m.” The headline on that newsletter was breezy: “A new press secretary, interesting reads, and notable media tidbits to wrap up your media diet for the week.” When “Inside with Jen Psaki” debuted in 2023, Jones posted a piece with the bland headline “Jen Psaki officially enters the Sunday morning lineup.” He liked it just fine. “Was it groundbreaking? Not really. Was it different? A tad. But was it solid? Sure.” Adding Psaki’s show to Monday nights a few months later? No problem. Again, Jones found absolutely zero need to wonder about conflicts. He didn’t find it “baffling” that MSNBC would ignore the “obvious conflicts of interest.” Nothing was “indefensible.” This is why conservatives don’t take the Democrat defense team of Stelter, Jones, and Oliver Darcy seriously when they preach about “legitimate” news outlets and media ethics. Everything is situational on the Democrats’ side. Apparently, there are no conflicts of interest when everyone is allied in “saving democracy” from Trump. “Journalism” and Democrat messaging are indistinguishable.
