An injury on a high school girls basketball team is another reminder of why Title IX exists and why the definition of “sex” is not up for interpretation.  A high school girls basketball team decided to forfeit a game earlier this month after a male athlete playing for the other team injured one of the young women.  The game was between Collegiate Charter School of Lowell in Massachusetts and KIPP Academy in Lynn‚ Massachusetts. A male who identifies as female plays on KIPP Academy’s girls basketball team‚ and during the game‚ he wrestled with one of the other team’s female players for the ball. Video shows the female player from Collegiate Charter School of Lowell falling to the ground after the exchange and holding her back in pain.  Two other players from the Lowell high school got hurt earlier in the game‚ but it’s unclear whether their injuries were caused by the male player as well.  At halftime‚ the coach of Collegiate Charter School of Lowell made the decision to forfeit the Feb. 8 game against KIPP Academy. Fox News reported that the team’s playoff games were scheduled soon and‚ recognizing that the team couldn’t afford to have any more players injured‚ the coach made the decision to forfeit.  In Massachusetts‚ a student can play on a “team that is consistent with the student’s bona fide gender identity‚” according to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association handbook.  Unfortunately‚ this is not the first time a female athlete has been physically injured competing against a male. A North Carolina high school volleyball player suffered a neck injury and concussion during a game in 2022 after a male who identifies as female spiked a ball and hit her in the face.  In 2023‚ a female athlete was injured by a male during a field hockey game in Massachusetts when the female was struck in the face with the ball and had her teeth knocked out. Even with the injuries mounting against female athletes competing against men‚ the Biden administration is continuing to promote policies that would allow men to compete against women.  Early in his administration‚ President Joe Biden proposed changing the definition of the word “sex” in Title IX‚ a portion of the Education Amendments of 1972 that prevents discrimination on the basis of sex within public education. Biden would redefine sex to include gender identity and sexual orientation. Under that proposed change‚ boys and men who identify as girls and women would be permitted to use females’ restrooms and locker rooms at school and to participate on their sports teams. The debate over the change is ongoing‚ and Sarah Parshall Perry‚ senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation‚ joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to explain the latest in the fight over Title IX and why the battle to protect women’s sports is far from over. The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation. Also on today’s show‚ we discuss a ruling by Alabama’s Supreme Court that declares frozen embryos are children. And former President Donald Trump is facing many legal challenges.

Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee signed legislation Wednesday permitting public officials to refuse to perform same-sex marriages if they object based on their “conscience or religious beliefs.” “Even though the bill doesn’t specifically address same-sex marriages‚ critics say it means LGBTQ+ couples could be denied their right to marry‚” KATC reported last week. House Bill 878 “states that a person is not required to solemnize a marriage if the person has an objection to solemnizing the marriage based on the person’s conscience or religious beliefs.” Tennessee governor signs bill allowing public officials to refuse to perform same-sex marriages https://t.co/LlA9PRU8nL pic.twitter.com/RUPoAP4kqY — The Hill (@thehill) February 22‚ 2024 The Hill reports: The bill does not allow officials to deny marriage licenses to couples based on their beliefs but prevents officials from being required to solemnize a marriage. The State House first passed the bill in March 2023‚ but the State’s General Assembly booted it to 2024 for consideration. Lee was thrown into the spotlight last year after signing a bill that became the first-in-the-nation restriction on drag performances‚ and banned gender-affirming health care for transgender youth. A federal judge later ruled that the restrictions on drag shows were unconstitutional. The legislation has faced some criticism from LGBTQ advocacy organizations. Molly Whitehorn‚ associate director of regional campaigns for the Human Rights Campaign‚ said last week the bill was “intended to exclude LGBTQ+ folks from equal protection under the law.” Tennessee Republicans argued that the bill was not meant to discriminate against same-sex couples or prevent them from getting married. State Sen. Mark Pody (R)‚ the bill’s primary sponsor in the Senate‚ said on the Senate floor last week that the bill has “nothing to do with getting a license.” Tennessee Gov. Lee signs bill permitting officials to decline to perform same-sex marriages | Just The News https://t.co/Kf9ayQJiB5 — John Solomon (@jsolomonReports) February 22‚ 2024 Per KATC: LGBTQ+ groups‚ like the Tennessee Equality Project‚ say the law creates confusion for same-sex couples. Ministers and priests already have the right to deny same-sex marriages in the state. One of the bill’s sponsors says the bill is “designed to protect the rights of officiants at wedding ceremonies.” “I don’t think there’s any law that says I have to go through‚ but there’s no law I’m not required to either — so this would just make it clear‚” said Sen. Mark Pody. Tennessee lawmakers gave final approval to legislation that would allow public officials to refuse to perform same-sex marriages‚ sending the controversial bill to the governor‚ who has not said whether he will sign it. https://t.co/f9ZJnYdELM — The Hill (@thehill) February 14‚ 2024 The legislation will likely face a court challenge due to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. Just the News noted: The Supreme Court in 2015 ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that states must both recognize and perform same-sex marriages on constitutional grounds. In December of 2022‚ President Joe Biden signed the “Respect for Marriage Act” into law‚ codifying certain protections for same-sex couples and interracial pairings.

According to a released audio conversation between American Red Cross officials and an undercover journalist‚ the organization does not separate blood donations from COVID-19 vaccinated individuals and unvaccinated individuals. “@RedCross official tells undercover journalist they DO NOT SEPARATE donated blood based on COVID-19 vaccination status; ADMITS unvaccinated recipients can UNWITTINGLY RECEIVE blood from vaccinated donors‚” Steven Crowder wrote. “Situations where you may be in a car accident or something‚ you need blood right away‚ there is a possibility that you’ll be getting vaccinated blood‚” an American Red Cross phone operator told an undercover journalist posing as a doctor. “And is there any way for my patients to know if they were getting vaccinated blood?” the journalist asked. “There isn’t any way. The blood isn’t separated. You know‚ depending on if you’re vaccinated or not. It’s not separated. The only way that they can get it‚ blood‚ that’s not vaccinated is if they donate for themselves. Or if they have a family member that’s willing to donate for them‚” the phone operator said. “Do you guys like track that?” the journalist questioned. “Track vaccinated vs. unvaxxed?” the phone operator replied. “Yeah‚ like ending up to the patient‚” the journalist said. “No‚ so some people have‚ you know‚ had the vaccine two years ago and are still experiencing some type of symptoms. So that’s why we specifically ask regarding that one. Like‚ for instance‚ I’ve had one donor before call in and after she received the vaccine‚ her doctor was able to find that she had a direct correlation to ringing in the ears afterwards. And so we see that as a symptom. So anything abnormal and it still proceeds to this day‚” the phone operator continued. “So she essentially wasn’t eligible to donate. So that’s why we have to ask it. Just because of any type of symptom‚” the operator added.

American Red Cross Reportedly Asking Blood Donors To Disclose COVID-19 Jab Status According to an image shared by conservative commentator DC Draino‚ the 79th question of the organization’s RapidPass system questionnaire asks if you’ve “ever had a Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine?” “The American Red Cross is now asking blood donors if they ever received the Covid vaccine. If you answer yes‚ they want you to call ahead to see if you’re still eligible‚” DC Draino writes. “I thought the vax was ‘safe and effective’? What info are they hiding from us?” he added. 🚨The American Red Cross is now asking blood donors if they ever received the Covid vaccine If you answer Yes‚ they want you to call ahead to see if you’re still eligible I thought the vax was “safe and effective”?

If you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine‚ you’ll need to provide the manufacturer name when you come to donate‚” American Red Cross writes. “Upon vaccination‚ you should receive a card or printout indicating what COVID-19 vaccine was received‚ and we encourage you to bring that card with you to your next donation. In most cases‚ there is no deferral time for individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine as long as they are symptom free and feeling well at the time of donation. The following eligibility guidelines apply to each COVID-19 vaccine received‚ including boosters‚” the organization added. Per American Red Cross: There is no deferral time for eligible blood donors who are vaccinated with an inactivated or RNA based COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca‚ Janssen/J&;J‚ Moderna‚ Novavax‚ or Pfizer. Eligible blood donors who received a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine or do not know what type of COVID-19 vaccine they received must wait two weeks before giving blood.

Ladapo has called to halt the usage of all mRNA COVID-19 injections‚” 100 Percent Fed Up previously reported. I am calling for a halt to the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. pic.twitter.com/olg8VTh6gB — Joseph A. Ladapo‚ MD‚ PhD (@FLSurgeonGen) January 3‚ 2024 From 100 Percent Fed Up: Ladapo cited “concerns regarding nucleic acid contaminants in the approved Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines‚ particularly in the presence of lipid nanoparticle complexes‚ and Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA.” “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have always played it fast and loose with COVID-19 vaccine safety‚ but their failure to test for DNA integration with the human genome – as their own guidelines dictate – when the vaccines are known to be contaminated with foreign DNA is intolerable‚” Ladapo said. “On December 6‚ 2023‚ State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo sent a letter to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Robert M. Califf and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Mandy Cohen regarding questions pertaining to the safety assessments and the discovery of billions of DNA fragments per dose of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines‚” the Florida Department of Health stated in a press release. “The Surgeon General outlined concerns regarding nucleic acid contaminants in the approved Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines‚ particularly in the presence of lipid nanoparticle complexes‚ and Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA. Lipid nanoparticles are an efficient vehicle for delivery of the mRNA in the COVID-19 vaccines into human cells and may therefore be an equally efficient vehicle for delivering contaminant DNA into human cells. The presence of SV40 promoter/enhancer DNA may also pose a unique and heightened risk of DNA integration into human cells‚” it added.

Back on October 3‚ 1958‚ the crew of a freight train traveling through Indiana had a remarkable experience in the middle of the night. Their train was buzzed and then pursued by four glowing‚ disc-shaped craft that flitted back and forth across the tracks at a low altitude in an encounter that lasted for more than an hour. Despite the impressive credentials of the witnesses‚ including one retired Air Force bomber pilot with extensive experience‚ the incident never wound up generating significant attention from the media. The event‚ hereafter referred to as the Indiana incident‚ is similarly rarely mentioned in documentaries that examine the history of the UFO phenomenon‚ which is surprising. But the response from the US Air Force when people eventually began requesting information from the offices of Project Blue Book may be even more shocking.
