A boy who is a high school sophomore took first place in the girls’ high jump competition at the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) indoor track and field championship. Maelle Jacques‚ who celebrated as a female competitor failed to match his winning jump‚ jumped 5’2”‚ one inch higher than any girl but roughly a foot lower than the winning jump in the boys’ competition. Twelve-time All-American swimmer Riley Gaines slammed Jacques’ parents‚ posting on X‚ “How could the parents of this boy allow their son to cheat deserving women out of opportunities? And why don’t the parents of the girls stand up and say ‘no’ for their daughters? This country is full of failing‚ gutless mothers and fathers.”   The NHIAA has an eligibility policy that asserts‚ “The NHIAA is committed to providing transgender student-athletes with equal opportunities to participate in NHIAA athletic programs consistent with their gender identity. The NHIAA has concluded that it would be fundamentally unjust and contrary to applicable state and federal law to preclude a student from participation on a gender-specific sports team that is consistent with the public gender identity of that student for all other purposes.” The organization that oversees the track competition reportedly allows athletes to compete in whatever division they want. Shannon McGinley‚ executive director of Cornerstone Action‚ said‚ “If school boards feared their constituents more than they feared [law firm] Drummond Woodsum and leftist superintendents‚ in a matter of months‚ we could have half the school districts in the state organized into an alternative NHIAA. The solution is for parents to stop accepting cowardly excuses from school board members who ran as conservative.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Meanwhile‚ New Hampshire Democrats are opposing proposed legislation that would prevent boys from competing against girls. SB 524 states that it would require “any interscholastic‚ intercollegiate‚ or club athletic team‚ sport‚ or athletic event that is sponsored or sanctioned by a school‚ school district‚ an activities association or organization under the control of the state board of education‚ or an institution of higher education under either the university system or the community college system to be designated based on the biological sex at birth of the participating athletes‚ and restricts those participating in sports designated as ‘female’ to biological females.” One Democrat‚ Rep. Tim Horrigan said of Jacques‚ “We don’t even know if she’s actually trans‚ but if she is‚ that’s certainly a very unfair thing [to keep her from competing]. A lot of these cases‚ they are pretty obscure competitions that normally sports fans wouldn’t be paying much attention to.”

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced on Tuesday that he was sending more National Guard troops to Texas as illegal crossings at the southern border continue at record levels.  Kemp said that he would be sending an additional 15-20 Georgia National Guard troops to help Texas with logistical and mechanical tasks. His announcement comes as Customs and Border Protection announced on Tuesday that they had a total of 176‚205 encounters at the southern border in January‚ a new monthly record.  “After record breaking numbers of illegal crossings at the border and seizures of dangerous drugs‚ weapons and violent criminals. No one complains there’s not a crisis at our Southern Border. And thanks to the failures of the White House. Now every state in the country is a border state‚” Kemp said.  Kemp previously traveled to Texas to support Governor Greg Abbott amid his stand off with President Joe Biden  over control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass‚ an area that was once a hot spot for illegal crossings.  “The crisis on the border is a national problem‚ and it demands a national solution‚ but if the Biden administration continues to fail the American people‚ then we have no choice‚ no choice but to step in‚” Kemp added.  While total January encounters were lower than the astounding 301‚983 in December‚ they still were about 20‚000 higher than the previous January record and roughly 100‚000 more than Biden’s first January in office.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “As a result of seasonal trends‚ as well as enhanced enforcement efforts by the men and women of CBP and our international partners‚ southwest border encounters between ports of entry dropped by 50% in January. We continue to experience serious challenges along our border which surpass the capacity of the immigration system‚” CBP official Troy Miller said.  Miller added that CBP had intercepted 34% more fentanyl and 68% more cocaine at the border than in December.  The release of the encounter numbers came just before the House voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas 214-213 over his handling of the border.  “Joe Biden could end the Biden border crisis right now. He has all the authority he needs to reserve his disastrous Far Left open border policies‚ which have turned every community into a border community and destroyed countless American families — but he refuses‚” the House GOP conference said in a statement. 

  In a move that is sure to draw national attention‚ President Donald Trump is expected to make a surprise appearance at a highly anticipated hearing in Atlanta. This comes amid swirling allegations of an improper relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and lead prosecutor Nathan Wade‚ which could potentially disqualify Willis from the RICO case against Trump. The controversy reached a boiling point when Judge Scott McAfee mandated an evidentiary hearing to examine the claims of misconduct. The judge emphasized the importance of establishing whether a conflict of interest exists‚ stating that the nature of Willis and Wade’s relationship‚ its timeline‚ and any personal benefits derived from it are central to the proceedings. DA Fanni Willis finally answers questions on her alleged affair in a 176-page court filing. What does it reveal? We cover this and the newest updates on Trump's legal battles. pic.twitter.com/QKlAcBb3yn — Facts Matter (@FactsMatterRB) February 6‚ 2024 The legal community was abuzz when it was revealed that Wade provided conflicting sworn declarations about his relationship with Willis. In one court‚ he denied the existence of a relationship‚ while in another‚ he admitted to it‚ raising serious questions about his credibility and the integrity of the prosecution. Trump’s potential presence at the hearing is not just a strategic move but also a symbolic one. It would mark his first courtroom appearance in the Georgia racketeering case since the grand jury’s indictment. His attendance is expected to intensify the scrutiny on Willis’s personal life and professional conduct‚ casting a spotlight on the prosecution’s actions. Fanni Willis on Verge of Being Dismissed from Phony Trump Case in Georgia.. https://t.co/4XWny6bgFy pic.twitter.com/N3e3AI1sGc — Grace Chong (@gc22gc) February 13‚ 2024 The drama unfolds as Trump juggles multiple legal challenges‚ including a closed-door hearing in Florida regarding federal charges of mishandling classified documents. Despite these concurrent legal battles‚ Trump’s decision to attend the Georgia hearing underscores the gravity he places on the accusations of prosecutorial impropriety. Security preparations at the Fulton County Courthouse are under scrutiny‚ given the former president’s rumored plans. With the courthouse’s security overseen by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office‚ there is speculation about their readiness for the potential influx of media and supporters that Trump’s appearance would bring. The stakes are high as subpoenas have been issued for both Willis and Wade to testify under oath. Their testimonies could be pivotal in determining the outcome of the motion filed by Trump’s co-defendant seeking to dismiss the RICO charge and disqualify Willis due to her alleged romantic involvement with Wade. As the political and legal worlds collide‚ all eyes will be on the Atlanta courthouse where the unfolding events could have far-reaching implications for the case against Trump and the broader narrative of justice and accountability in high-profile prosecutions.   The post Trump Set to Shake Up Georgia Hearing Amid Allegations appeared first on The Conservative Brief.

Integrating a new animal into an existing ranch can result in a period of trial and error. Depending on the new animal’s background‚ introductions should be made slowly. When the folks at Railhead Ranch adopted a new llama named Lola‚ she was a bit quirky. They did not expect their new llama to become a dance sensation‚ but there it is. Image from Instagram. Every time the handler took a sidestep toward Lola‚ the silly llama took a sidestep away. The Instagram post has line-dancing music playing in the background. The sight is pretty hilarious. In the caption‚ they were quick to note that the dancing was not intentional. While getting to know Lola‚ the ranch hand observed that she likes her personal space. So‚ the quirky sidestepping was an effort to maintain that space. We can laugh at the antics and the silliness‚ but we also need to be aware of Lola’s feelings. We are confident that‚ while laughing at this llama dance‚ ranch personnel were working with Lola. Their goal was to ensure that she felt welcome and safe.
