The new Title IX rules from the Biden administration leave American girls in public schools completely defenseless from males who are not only dominating their sports but who are showing up in their locker rooms. The Biden administration is doing this by redefining what constitutes sex-based discrimination in schools to include gender identity in the definition. “By the way‚ those who don’t use somebody’s preferred pronouns would be in violation of the new Title IX guidelines according to the Biden regime‚” Sara Gonzales says‚ disturbed. “I would ask if they had ever read the First Amendment‚ but I know the answer is no‚” she continues‚ adding‚ “This leaves young females in this country completely vulnerable to having their rights assaulted.” However‚ there is at least one state official fighting back. Ryan Walters‚ Oklahoma’s superintendent of public instruction for the state’s department of education‚ sent an official letter to all public school superintendents instructing them not to make any changes to their policies based on the latest Title IX guidance. Walters called the federal rule changes “illegal” and explained that the USDE “has not been given the legislative or judicial authority to redefine sex.” The response Walters has received from the school administrators has been hopeful. “I’ll be honest with you‚ the initial response has been a lot of them thanking me‚ a lot of them telling me how much they appreciate it‚” he tells Gonzales. “I’ll be honest with you‚ Sarah‚ not only should states not comply‚ not only should states fight back‚ we should send a loud resounding message to the Federal Department of Education: You guys shouldn’t even exist‚” he adds.

Subscribe to cut through the noise and get the insights that matter. Exclusive for Blaze News readers — don't miss out&;#33; All eyes were on President Joe Biden at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner‚ though few came for the jokes. (This is good‚ considering how few he actually cracked.) The question is far beyond whether his cognitive abilities have declined — all honest assessors understand he’s slowed dramatically just since he was vice president — but on how he presents. Could he cut and jab like he did at the State of the Union&;#63; Or would he mumble into the microphone‚ mixing up continents and dishing the latest on long-dead leaders&;#63; Mind you: Very little of the glitzy annual D.C. party weekend is concerned with reality. It’s performance‚ just as this whole White House has been. The president’s January State of the Union successfully quieted the growing chorus of professional Democrats calling for a new candidate‚ and this weekend the White House hoped to reinforce that win in front of the courtiers (which is exactly what the people in the room are). He toasted them‚ they toasted him‚ and he slurred on‚ garnering the kind of forced laughs an elderly relative might get from polite grandkids. The reporters and their celebrity guests applauded themselves when the president lauded their bravery. &;quot;You literally risk your lives doing your job‚” he assured the champagne-drunk crowd. The crowd tensed up when Biden instructed them to “rise up to the seriousness of the moment‚” however. It’s all well and fine that the American corporate media effectively ran Biden’s election campaign and will have to run his re-election effort‚ but you’re not supposed to talk about it out loud. Outside‚ anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protesters let the D.C. elites know their kind of liberalism isn’t nearly enough‚ hurling curses and tossing fake blood onto bedazzled attendees who had to wade through the crowds to get inside. Violent radical protests have been a left-wing election constant since 2016 but weren’t a concern to the Democrats when they consisted mainly of masked‚ black-clad radicals attacking grandparents at Trump rallies. Now that the cosplay revolution has come for Democrats‚ pitting elite liberal Israel supporters against black-clad‚ masked Hamas supporters‚ it’s finally become an electoral liability — a painful thorn the White House has struggled to remove. Time and again‚ politics tie Biden’s instincts down to the earth. Like Gulliver‚ he is a creature out of his element‚ stumbling and alien among the newest new left. “I condemn the anti-Semitic protests‚&;quot; Biden told reporters April 15. &;quot;I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.” “Those who don’t understand”&;#63; It’s the kind of both-sides-ism that feels politically necessary to a White House staff whose classmates and peers are among the mob‚ but that pleases no one. And it’s far from the first time we’ve heard such equivocation stepping on political momentum in this administration. The White House‚ for example‚ pressured the president to walk back one of the finer moments of his State of the Union‚ when he apologized for calling Laken Riley’s illegal immigrant murderer an “illegal.” His impromptu boldness in passionately answering Republican heckling with righteous anger had been a shining deflection of GOP criticism to a national audience. The internal politics of the White House‚ however‚ would not let him enjoy the win‚ lest he insult illegal-immigrant murderers and their many proponents. Of course‚ there’s no better example of the White House’s elitism than its response to the East Palestine train disaster‚ when a moment to appeal to white working-class voters with an environmental‚ pro-regulation message was squandered by a White House that disdains the voters it used to represent so much that it can’t even hold a presser for their sufferings. And now‚ the White House is tripping over itself to get around the end-of-year disorder gripping America’s most famous universities. While even the politically tone-deaf Republican speaker was able to travel to Manhattan’s Columbia University to condemn violent and menacing anti-Semitism‚ an administration staffed by a lot of friends and peers of those masked radicals is missing the moment. But back in D.C.‚ an NBC comedian was busy telling jokes about Donald Trump‚ and it was time to laugh and mingle. Afterward‚ the guests would try to get into NBC’s party at the French ambassador’s house. Earlier in the weekend‚ a goodly number of them had partied with Washingtonian magazine and the government of Qatar at the Four Seasons‚ where you can be sure they toasted themselves some more. The Telegraph: Israel could be Biden’s Vietnam: The war in Gaza is hammering the president’s domestic support and could lead to ’68-style convention bust-up. IN OTHER NEWS They’re already drafting next Ukraine supplemental Just days after passing $60 billion in aid to Ukraine‚ news leaked that another supplemental is already in the works for the fall. Did you really think this would be the end of it&;#63; “A Republican congressional aide‚” The Hill reports‚ “said Department of Defense officials and European allies will begin putting together a new funding request for Ukraine in September and for it to come to Congress in the lame-duck session.” Tuesday’s vote was a political triumph for outgoing Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)‚ who took the unusual step of whipping for the Democrats’ bill‚ deeply unpopular with his own voters‚ just to rack up more Republican votes for his own legacy project. The effort even helped flip Senator Steve Daines (R-Mont.)‚ who‚ as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee‚ had repeatedly warned against sending money abroad before tackling serious border security. Daines pointed out how the move would be a hard thing for his candidates to defend back home in their states. Taxpayers have already sent at least $174 billion to Ukraine. Meanwhile‚ even the war’s staunchest champions have voiced skepticism that money and equipment can materially change the outcome of the war. None of that matters in D.C.‚ where “the consensus” exists outside and apart from reality. TikTok now‚ Big Tech next&;#63; TikTok news was muffled by the $95 billion foreign aid package it passed with‚ but with it‚ the United States struck the first blow against the Chinese-owned tech company. While the White House has been pumping the brakes on other pet projects that officials worry will upset constituents in an election year‚ such as their proposed ban on menthol cigarettes‚ the president lauded the success of the TikTok bill. While TikTok’s expensive and ham-fisted lobbying efforts even saw the Chinese government lobbying Congress‚ it was unable to convince enough lawmakers the forced foreign divestment was an attack on free speech. Thus far‚ all signs point toward TikTok’s parent company‚ ByteDance‚ choosing to shutter the highly popular and addictive app rather than selling the algorithm to a non-Chinese company. “Our batting record on Big Tech — we’re batting zero‚” Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) told Punchbowl News. “We’ve not done privacy‚ we’ve not done kids’ online safety‚ we’ve not done low-hanging fruit [bills]. … Taking this first step is really important.” Reuters: ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail‚ sources say Punchbowl: After TikTok‚ are more Big Tech hits coming&;#63; While the lawfare rages on‚ the Supreme Court seems poised to give Donald Trump a rare reprieve The Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday on the question of whether former presidents have immunity for actions they took while in office. Most of the justices seemed primed to establish at least some level of immunity for official actions. A ruling would impact the former president’s D.C. January 6 trial most directly but could have implication far beyond that. The Federalist: Last Week In Lawfare Land: Witness Testimony‚ Another SCOTUS Case‚ And A New Indictment Drop. Here’s the latest information you need to know about each case. The Federalist: SCOTUS Agrees Presidents Do Have Immunity From Criminal Prosecutions‚ But To What Degree&;#63; Will Biden debate Trump&;#63; Joe Biden in a Thursday interview with aging pervert Howard Stern suggested he might‚ saying he's planning to but doesn’t &;quot;know when‚” adding: “I’m happy to debate him.” The announcement might make for unwelcome news at a White House so eager to hide the octogenarian boss’ age that staff have recently taken to sending aides with him on his walk to Marine One to take focus off his unsteady walking. Don’t count on any debates happening any time soon‚ however. The White House and corporate media have long established that their political opponent is beneath their dignity and could well make that case again to avoid debating Trump entirely. The fire rises: “Inside the Crisis at NPR‚” The New York Times Illiberal bias‚ insufferable self-regard‚ and Republican calls to defund National Public Radio aren’t the only problems the facing the nonprofit. “Internal documents reviewed by The Times and interviews with more than two dozen current and former public radio executives show how profoundly the nonprofit is struggling to succeed in the fast-changing media industry. It is grappling with a declining audience and falling revenue — and internal conflict about how to fix it.”

If there’s a leftist cause‚ a protest is bound to follow — no matter how little those protesting understand why or what they're protesting in the first place. This is especially the case after Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel. Pro-Palestinian protesters have now taken over college campuses across America‚ from Columbia University in New York to the George Washington University in D.C. and Cal Poly Humboldt in California. The protesters spent the past weekend setting up autonomous zones in solidarity with Gaza‚ held Islamic prayer sessions‚ and chanted about the intifada. “Seems to be the only thing that Americans want to do these days is protest the right of Israel to exist‚” Stu Burguiere says to Glenn Beck. In one of the protests at Columbia University‚ the students knelt on Islamic prayer rugs while a man sang a prayer. “The nice thing is they’re including women in the call to prayer‚ which is very popular in the Middle East. They love it when women get down and pray right alongside the men‚” Glenn jokes. At another protest in Canada‚ a woman praised Hamas’ attack on Israel. “We stand with the Palestinian resistance and their heroic and brave action on October 7. And they said‚ 'Long live October 7‚' and we say today‚ 'Long live October 7&;#33;'” she yelled. “You know‚ I love it when the Nazis are like‚ ‘Long live the Holocaust‚’” Glenn mocks. “‘Long live those really cool showers and oven system that we came up with.’” Want more from Glenn Beck&;#63;To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling‚ thought-provoking analysis‚ and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos‚ subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America‚ defend the Constitution‚ and live the American dream.

Twerking teenagers were caught on surveillance video recently vandalizing a Los Angeles-area business called Pink Sponge Home Cleaning‚ KTLA-TV reported.What are the details&;#63;The station said vandals broke into the Glendora business in the early morning hours of April 20. Surveillance video from the Pink Sponge's rooftop parking lot showed at least three teens carrying out vandalism‚ including blasting a fire extinguisher and chucking a large object at one of the company’s 25 pink Volkswagen Bugs‚ KTLA said. Image source: YouTube screenshotOf course‚ two of the vandals also were infamously caught twerking atop the hood of one of the cars. Image source: YouTube screenshot“They kicked in every headlight they could‚” Jennifer Ahlgrim of Pink Sponge told KTLA. “They pulled down the windows so hard‚ they broke the regulators. They carved on the hoods of cars.” Image source: YouTube screenshot“They tore open a door and threw products over the side of the building‚&;quot; Ahlgrim added to the station. &;quot;It was disgusting.&;quot;Dumb and dumberYou'd think that today's teens would be savvy enough to know that just about every business is outfitted with surveillance cameras‚ but the dumb teens either didn't know or didn't care.Dumber still is that police told KTLA gang symbols were carved upon some of the Pink Sponge company cars‚ and that led them to a juvenile suspect — a 15-year-old gang member from La Verne who was arrested in connection with the break-in. Authorities added to the station that they have the suspect's cell phone and are hoping to use it to find the two teen girls who were involved in the break-in.Meanwhile‚ the outfit is picking up the pieces after 18 of its vehicles were heavily vandalized to the tune of $25‚000 in damages‚ the station said.“I couldn’t understand how someone could do something like this to a company that’s trying to do good‚” Ahlgrim added to KTLA. “It just doesn’t make sense.”The co-founder of the company added to the station that the insurance claim was denied because the company had been vandalized previously. A GoFundMe has been organized to help the business with the cost of repairs and the loss of many of its supplies‚ KTLA noted.

Dr. Hilary Cass is an award-winning British medical doctor who previously served as president of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health. Esteemed in her field‚ politically innocuous‚ and a recipient of the Order of the British Empire‚ National Health Services England evidently figured Cass was the ideal candidate to lead an independent investigation into the U.K.'s sex-change regime and its youth-facing services. Cass obliged them and started work on the review in 2020. Her landmark report — the product of roughly four years of penetrating investigation and analysis — came out earlier this month‚ transitioning public opinion and effectively putting a nail in the coffin of LGBT activists' narrative about so-called gender-affirming care. The 388-page report not only indicated that the sex-change regime is built on weak and unreliable science but that if left unchecked‚ it has the potential to continue irreversibly damage minors‚ many of whom are‚ to begin with‚ likely incapable of properly consenting to sex-change medical interventions. For daring to present the facts as they are contra what some may have hoped them to be‚ Cass has become a popular target for threats and smears by desperate gender ideologues and other leftist radicals. The 66-year-old pediatrician recently told the Times (U.K.) that the most recent wave of backlash &;quot;started the day before the report came out when an influencer put up a picture of a list of papers that were apparently rejected for not being randomised control trials.&;quot; Among the fact-averse activists who seized upon the suggestion that the Cass report had failed to factor in various transgender narrative-affirming studies was Labor parliamentarian Dawn Butler. Butler told her fellow lawmakers in the House of Commons‚ &;quot;There are around 100 studies that have not been included in this Cass report and we need to know why.&;quot; Cass called Butler's assertion &;quot;completely wrong&;quot; and said it was &;quot;unforgivable&;quot; to undermine the report with such blatant falsehoods. The pediatrician told the Times that contrary to Butler's suggestion‚ researchers had gone through all of the activist-preferred studies‚ but pulled results from only 60 as the remainder were of inferior quality. Butler eventually had to eat crow‚ apologizing in the British parliament‚ indicating she made the mistake of quoting a Stonewall briefing. Last week I inadvertently misled the House by quoting a figure from a Stonewall briefing.\n\nI'm grateful for conversation with Dr Cass and am happy to correct the record because that's what politicians should do.\n\nI have more to say watch this space &;#33; — (@) Stonewall‚ of the U.K.'s most influential LGBT activist groups‚ has a knack for circulating false claims‚ having responded last month to NHS England's decision to end the prescription puberty blockers for children with the suggestion that luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists‚ long used to chemically castrate sex offenders and known to deplete bone density‚ were &;quot;reversible.&;quot; Stonewall has also parroted the claim that &;quot;children as young as 2 recognise their trans identity.&;quot; &;quot;If you deliberately try to undermine a report that has looked at the evidence of children's healthcare‚ then that's unforgivable. You are putting children at risk by doing that‚&;quot; added Cass. Cass has apparently also been flooded with abusive emails‚ such that security services have reportedly had to intervene with advice. &;quot;There are some pretty vile emails coming in at the moment. Most of which my team is protecting me from‚ so I'm not getting to see them‚&;quot; she told the Times. Some of them contained &;quot;words I wouldn't put in a newspaper.&;quot; &;quot;What dismays me is just how childish the debate can become‚&;quot; continued the pediatrician. &;quot;If I don't agree with somebody then I'm called transphobic or a Terf [trans-exclusionary radical feminist].&;quot; Apparently‚ the security services Cass has been dealing with figure some radicals may seek to do more than threaten the doctor online. &;quot;I'm not going on public transport at the moment‚&;quot; she told the Times‚ &;quot;following security advice‚ which is inconvenient.&;quot; Cass drew the ire of radicals for noting in her report that: the &;quot;systematic review showed no clear evidence that social transition in childhood has any positive or negative mental health outcomes‚ and relatively weak evidence for any effect in adolescence&;quot;; puberty blockers &;quot;exert their intended effect in suppressing puberty‚&;quot; but compromise bone density and have no apparent impact on &;quot;gender dysphoria or body satisfaction&;quot;; there is a dearth of consistent evidence about the &;quot;effect of puberty suppression on psychological or psychosocial wellbeing‚ cognitive development‚ cardio-metabolic risk or fertility&;quot;; there is a lack of high-quality research assessing the outcomes of hormone interventions in adolescents confused about their sex; there is no evidence to support the popular claim amongst gender ideologues that cross-sex hormones reduce the elevated risk of deaths amongst those suffering from gender dysphoria; clinicians are incapable of determining with certainty which prospective child victims might simply grow out of their confusion; for &;quot;most young people‚ a medical pathway will not be the best way to manage their gender-related distress&;quot;; and the so-called science regarding &;quot;gender-affirming care&;quot; is &;quot;an area of remarkably weak evidence&;quot; built on &;quot;shaky foundations.&;quot; Whereas Stonewall and leftists find the facts hard to digest‚ others have willingly admitted fault. A group of 16 senior clinical psychologists penned a letter in the Guardian on April 21‚ noting‚ &;quot;Whether intentionally or not‚ and many were doing their best in an impossible situation‚ it was clinical psychologists who promoted an ideology that was almost impossible to challenge; who‚ as the Cass report found‚ largely failed to carry out proper assessments of troubled young people‚ and thus put many on an 'irreversible medical pathway' that in most cases was inappropriate; and who failed in their most basic duty to keep proper records.&;quot; They concluded‚ &;quot;We are ashamed of the role psychology has played [in gender-affirming care].&;quot; Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
