Maine’s School Sports Officials Reject
Trump’s Orders, Will Allow Transgender Athletes
Posted By: Imright, 2/12/2025 8:39:57 PM
The governing body for school sports in the state of Maine officially rejected President Donald Trump’s new Title IX rules and will continue to allow transgender athletes to play in girl’s and women’s sports, its director says. Mike Burnham, executive director of the Maine Principals Association (MPA), confirmed on Wednesday that it will not abide by Trump’s executive order to “keep men out of women’s sports,” Fox News reported. “The executive order and our Maine state Human Rights Act are in conflict, and the Maine Principal’s Association (MPA) will continue to follow state law regarding gender identity,” Burnham insisted.

As we reported, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday, 52-48, to be the new Secretary of Health and Human Services, despite the failed efforts of Democrats to derail him. Kennedy was then sworn in, in the Oval Office by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, and both he and President Donald Trump delivered remarks. Given the drama around Kennedy, particularly from the Democrats, you would think that this would be big news to show — one way or another, that it was pretty historic. Kennedy delivered some very powerful and touching remarks in which he praised Trump. I'll tease that we have
For your edification, here’s a selection of recent headlines published in our major news outlets:
“Elon Musk’s political power grab threatens democracy and the economy.” “How Trump’s war on federal workers threatens democracy.”
“Trump showdown with courts puts U.S. on the brink of abandoning democracy.”
“Trump’s blitz to expand his power is direct threat to democracy, experts say.”
I could find a few dozen more if I wanted, but I think you get the point. The Washington swamp and its media allies have settled on their line of attack against the new Trump administration, and it’s a tired one: Our democracy is in peril!
A Russian drone struck the containment shell protecting the radioactive reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, causing significant damage, Ukraine claimed Friday morning.
The protective covering that was placed around Reactor 4 in 2016 sustained a large hole from the unmanned aircraft.
“Last night, a Russian attack drone with a high-explosive warhead struck the shelter protecting the world from radiation at the destroyed 4th power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant,” Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelensky said Friday.
“This is a terrorist attack for the entire world,” he added.
In announcing the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza, Trump gave the world a brilliant masterclass in realpolitik. Let’s break it down:
If there is one thing we should be able to agree on, at least the few of us who have opened a history book, it is that ethnic hatred courses just under the skin of civilized men ready to erupt from the slightest of provocations.
This has been the case throughout history. The Ancient Greek city-states, from Athens to Sparta, from Thebes to Corinth, despite having so much in common, would periodically descend into brutal wars over seemingly nothing. This paradigm has continued unabated for millennia.

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Thursday that he is paying “very close attention” to who is executing the lawful orders from President Donald Trump and that woke generals “will have a different job in due time.”
“I’m paying very close attention. There’s plenty of three- and four-star generals up for promotion or up for new positions, and there will already be a few folks that that we’ve identified who will have different jobs in due time,” the defense secretary said.“I’m not here to declare anybody woke and they’re out. We’re watching the the execution of culture change and willingness to support
The Trump administration is preparing to designate a series of Mexican drug cartels and two from Central and South America as foreign terrorist organizations. The move comes as Mexico continues to experience unprecedented levels of violence, including the widespread use of landmines and improvised explosive devices, despite empty government claims that crime has decreased and impunity has ended.
A document reviewed by Breitbart Texas revealed that the U.S. State Department is expected to designate the Sinaloa Cartel, Cartel Jalisco New Generation, The Gulf Cartel, The Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas (Northeast Cartel), Carteles Unidos, and Familia Michoacana as foreign terrorist organizations on February 19.
A military aircraft transporting Secretary of State Marco Rubio to the Munich Security Conference in Germany was forced to return to Washington Thursday night after it encountered a “mechanical issue.”
“This evening, en route from Washington to Munich, the plane on which Secretary Rubio is flying experienced a mechanical issue,” State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a statement.
“The plane has turned around and is returning to Joint Base Andrews,” she added, referring to the Maryland air base just outside Washington, DC.
“The Secretary intends to continue his travel to Germany and the Middle East on a separate aircraft,” Bruce said.
The mass firings of government workers have begun. On Thursday, the Trump administration met with the Office of Personnel Management, advising them to fire federal workers on probationary status. NBC News said this could put hundreds of thousands of workers in the crosshairs. These workers are essentially recent hires, and some might get fired very soon (via NBC News): President Donald Trump's administration began a mass firing of federal workers Thursday.
Office of Personnel Management officials met with agency leaders and advised them to dismiss probationary employees,
President Donald Trump locked horns with CNN's Kaitlan Collins as he signed a reciprocal tariff plan at the White House Thursday, saying her network has "no credibility."
As he held up the signed plan for the cameras of the press gathered in the Oval Office, Collins began asking, "Mr. President, you won the White House, in part, because of high inflation. If your tariffs make prices go up-"
"Excuse me," Trump replied, "We haven't asked you to speak yet." (Photo) Trump then answered questions from reporters about the military conflict in Ukraine, saying he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin wants the war to end.
"I believe he wants peace,"
The Trump administration has sent 53 Venezuelan nationals to the Guantánamo Bay detention facility in Cuba as the effort to deport criminal illegals gains steam.
The 53 criminal illegals were not identified by name but are now being housed in the military-operated detention center where some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists have been kept since the attacks on our homeland in 2001, the New York Times reported.Officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Defense Department have not made any statements on the more than four dozen detainees, but did confirm they had entered the U.S. illegally and are “violent gang members and other high-threat illegal aliens.”
A $20 billion Biden administration green-energy slush fund was collecting interest at a private bank and is being distributed without proper oversight, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin reveals in an exclusive interview.
President Joe Biden’s EPA parked $20 billion at the financial institution, which The Post has learned is Citibank, as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. But the awardees weren’t announced until August 2024 and Citibank not brought in until September — after Biden’s disastrous June debate performance led him to withdraw from re-election in July, making a very different race with Kamala Harris the Democratic nominee.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) pushed a bizarre explanation for why women might not pursue jobs in manufacturing.
Schakowsky made her remarks on Wednesday during a Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade subcommittee hearing entitled “AI in Manufacturing: Securing American Leadership in Manufacturing and the Next Generation of Technologies.”
Schakowsky suggested that perhaps the reason fewer women choose a career in manufacturing is that the term has the word “man” in it.
Schakowsky stated, “Yesterday, I met with a manufacturing company, but they also are engaged in getting young people more engaged in manufacturing. I asked them, ‘How many of those students that are signing up and want to do this, how many are women?'”
Former Vice President Kamala Harris would be the Democratic front-runner for governor of California if she jumped into the Golden State’s 2026 race to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), polling shows.
Harris snagged support for a hypothetical gubernatorial bid from nearly 6 in 10 Democratic primary voters in California, 57 percent, according to a survey from Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill.
Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), who left the House to mount an unsuccessful Senate bid last year, followed at 9 percent support.
Ex-Speaker of the California State Assembly Antonio Villaraigosa (D) and sitting Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalaki (D) brought in 4 percent each, and another 17
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said during an interview that Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) final vote against Tulsi Gabbard, the newly sworn-in director of national intelligence, indicates that President Trump’s “cult” can be “broken.”
“Mitch McConnell breaking yesterday with his Republican colleagues telling the truth to power, indicates that maybe the Trump cult, the intimidation and threats can be broken,” Blumenthal said during his Thursday morning appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“Our tools are limited. We’re in the minority. They control obviously both houses of Congress and the White House and indirectly the United States Supreme Court,” he added.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth began a tour of Europe Tuesday, starting at the headquarters of US European Command at Patch Barracks in Stuttgart, Germany. The newly minted SecDef has a heavy schedule in front of him, inspecting US forces in Europe and dealing with his first meeting with NATO. He is obviously trying to move beyond the controversies associated with his confirmation. He is also trying to lead by example and reverse the cultural rot in the US military by force of will.

In his first week since being nominated Archbishop of Detroit, Edward Weisenburger denounced Donald Trump’s immigration policies, and criticized the president’s plan to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Pope Francis nominated Arizona Bishop Weisenburger for the position on February 11; he is slated to replace outgoing Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron, who resigned from the post in 2023 after serving the diocese since 2009. An Illinois native, Weisenburger comes to Detroit from the city of Tucson, Arizona, where he has been since 2017.
Weisenburger wasted no time after being appointed to attack the Trump administration, taking issue with efforts to eliminate USAID spending.
Denver Public Schools has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over a policy allowing ICE immigration agents to enter schools.
The federal lawsuit claims that the policy has caused attendance to plummet due to the amount of illegal aliens in the district.
“DPS is hindered in fulfilling its mission of providing education and life services to the students who are refraining from attending DPS schools for fear of immigration enforcement actions occurring on DPS school grounds,” the lawsuit states, according to a report from ABC News.
Longtime vaccine critic Robert F. Kennedy is now the nation’s top health official, after the Senate Thursday voted almost entirely on party lines to confirm him atop a department of nearly 100,000 employees that run 13 agencies.
The 52-48 confirmation vote brings to a close a contentious three-month confirmation fight that served as a significant test of the Republican Party’s loyalty to President Trump.
Only Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) cast a GOP vote against Kennedy’s confirmation, after previously bucking his party on Trump’s defense secretary and national intelligence director.

What the hell is this? I get why Ohio Democrats are doing this, trying to be cute with the whole ‘regulate our bodies’ narrative that no one cared about in 2024.

Current and former employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) sued Elon Musk and his cost-cutting operation, levying the novel argument that the world’s richest man should have been confirmed by the Senate before wielding such enormous power.
The Trump administration, Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have moved in recent weeks to stanch the flow of foreign aid, dismantle the agency responsible for administering it and dismiss thousands of people working for the agency at home and abroad.

We’ve been reading so much about all the rampant waste in the federal government, from USAID to the Education Department to FEMA, that Elon Musk and DOGE continue to uncover at a staggering pace.
But sometimes you wonder, who are the beneficiaries of all this fraud and waste—where’s the money going? I mean, besides to terrorists, social justice warriors and the like.
Your questions may soon be answered. Grab the popcorn and fluff the couch pillows because Donald Trump told reporters at a briefing in the Oval Office Wednesday afternoon that he plans to name names at a press conference scheduled for Thursday. Responding to a reporter's question, he charged:

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said Thursday that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffers are now examining the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), warning against access to U.S. taxpayer data.
Democrats have sounded the alarm over DOGE and its leader, Elon Musk, attempting to overhaul the U.S. Agency for International Development and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and to gain access into the Treasury Department’s payment systems.
“My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk’s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America,” Wyden wrote in a Thursday post on the social platform X, which Musk owns.
