A judge in Tennessee has temporarily banned two federal agencies from enforcing directives issued by the Biden administration that extended protections for LGBTQ people in schools and workplaces, like allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice. US District Judge Charles Atchley Jr. on Friday ruled for 20 state attorneys general who sued last August claiming the Biden administration directives infringe on states' rights. The ruling could prevent students from participating in sports based on their gender identity or requiring schools and businesses to provide bathrooms and showers to accommodate transgender people. Atchley, appointed by President Donald Trump in 2020,

More federalism. The 10th Amendment reads: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." ANYTHING that is not specifically deletated to the federal government in the Constitution covers a HUGE amount of territory. And we need to pull back a LOT of massive overreach, in violation of the Tenth Amendment, from the federal usurpers. Much of the power they wield today is INVALID.

The article says the LGBTQ perverts need o be protected, but pays no heed to how or why normal students need protection from LGBTQ perverts.

Re #2, in the early days of our Republic things were more complex, but the federalists created and supported the Constitution. The anti-federalists opposed the Bill of Rights, and other things. And then then complexity....the anti-federalists were somewhat more on the States Rights side, but in that time even the most ardent federalist still supported very strongly the Bill of Rights, including the 10th Amendment. So the terms are a big muddled over time. Today, generally federalism in the USA means that certain powers are controlled by the central government and many powers are reserved to the states. And this is the way I meant the term. It is a fairly muddled term, both in the founder's times and now. Perhaps I will avoid it in the future. But the Federalist Papers were the explanation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and I have always referred to them as to what the founders were thinking, because they wrote it down. And much of it was about powers that remained with the states. Perhaps not quite as much as the anti-federalists of the 1790s might have wished, but still a lot. Now the Dems want the states to have NO powers to disagree with DC diktats.

I thought Dems were opposed to systems of "unearned privileges." Yet it was the Obama administration that decided biological males who couldn't prevail when matched with elite male competitors were now entitled to compete against FEMALE athletes. All these non-elite males had to do was claim female identity. Not surprisingly, when Democrats freed them from competing against elite males, these second string athletes walked away with scholarships few biological women had a chance of winning. This is what unearned privilege looks like.

It's the $$$$ stupid! Dims ignore laws and they buy loyalty with education and other grants which are accompanied by bureaucratic socialist democrat rules and regulations. When real conservatives regain Congress they must abolish the DoE and stop the flow of bribery, propaganda and indoctrination into the school systems and we must regain local control. Then we can move on to the EPA and the bought and paid for businesses

sounds like it would be a good ballot question for the voters to decide. 'Shall males who identify as female be allowed to participate in female sports, use 'female only' rest rooms, dressing/locker rooms?'

With population in the United States, it's amazing how we get bully and run over by such a splinter of the population of mental defective perverts. The perverts do have their supporters like Joe Biden, but he only sees them all as a weapon to punish opposition. Joe Biden revels in insulting American people with the grotesque like the Levine person in his administration. Levine couldn't get a normal job outside the Biden administration.

Two officials at one of the largest hospital systems in Los Angeles and Southern California dismissed government officials’ statements about another wave of COVID-19 hitting the region and the United States as “media hype.” Los Angeles County health director Barbara Ferrer last week said that her county is now seeing a “high” level of COVID-19 transmission, suggesting that indoor mask mandates might be reimposed. But in a recent news conference on July 13, Brad Spellberg, the chief medical officer of Los Angeles County and University of Southern California Medical Center, and epidemiologist Paul Holtom, said that there have been no changes in the transmission levels of COVID-19. “It’s just the same.

Either way, somehow, they end up as part of an arms deal from Serbia to Bangladesh.

The conservative radio legend, who died in February 2021, snapped up the 24,000-square-foot main house on Palm Beach's North Ocean Boulevard for $3.9 million in 1998, and has since bought up four neighboring properties to build a 2.7-acre estate, with an asking price of between $150 million and $175 million.
