The Vermont Principals' Association must reinstate a Christian school after its girls' basketball team forfeited a game against a team with a male on its roster, an appeals court has ruled, stating that officials acted with "hostility" toward religious beliefs. A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals released a unanimous opinion on Tuesday in the case of Mid Vermont Christian School et al v. Zoie Saunders et al. Circuit Judge Michael Park, a Trump appointee, authored the opinion, which reversed a lower court decision against the Mid Vermont Christian School and remanded the case with instructions for Mid Vermont’s reinstatement in the VPA.

Males playing sports on girl's teams is not a religious issue it is a biological one. It is a fact that males have more muscle mass than females at the same weight. Thereby giving males a definite strength advantage over a girl These are the bare facts and whoever thinks otherwise hates women and wants them to succumb to men.

Looks like maybe some sanity is coming to this nation. #2, Males not only have more muscle mass, but their skins are also thicker, their bones are denser, and their reactions are faster. Finally, 90% of men are bigger, stronger, and faster than 90% of women. That's a biological fact.

In a sane world, the school with the male player would have been forced to forfeit the game for using an ineligible player.

Lawyers for two boys blamed for sexual harassment by their Virginia school district after complaining about a transgender classmate, who was a biological female, using their locker room are now headed to federal court following a denial of their appeal. Earlier this year, the Loudoun County Public Schools in Northern Virginia launched a Title IX sexual harassment investigation into the two boys after they were videotaped by a biological female who identified as transgender inside the boys' locker room. The video caught them outwardly complaining to each other about the fact that there was a girl using their facilities.

Texas governor Greg Abbott has announced a ban on Sharia Law in the state after an imam launched a campaign to pressure Muslim-owned stores to stop selling pork, alcohol and lottery tickets. Imam F. Qasim ibn Ali Khan of Masjid At-Tawhid was seen in a viral video confronting a store employee and accusing the business of selling 'haram' products forbidden under Islamic law. As a response, Abbott said on Tuesday: 'I signed laws that BAN Sharia Law and Sharia Compounds in Texas. No business and no individual should fear fools like this.'

A federal immigration board said Friday that immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally are ineligible for bond hearings while they challenge deportation proceedings in court. The decision, rendered by Judge Keith E. Hunsucker at the Board of Immigration Appeals, affirms a previous July order from Todd M. Lyons, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who told ICE officers in a memo that such immigrants should be detained “for the duration of their removal proceedings,” which can take months or years. Lawyers say the policy will apply to millions of immigrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border over the past few decades

The Los Angeles Police Department has pulled its cops from a security detail at Kamala Harris’ Brentwood, California home after outrage that crime-fighting units were being diverted to guard the former vice president. A dozen Metro Division officers had been stationed outside Harris’ mansion after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection last week, ending an extension granted by Biden. The short-lived detail drew fury inside the department. “Pulling police officers from protecting everyday Angelenos to protect a failed presidential candidate who also happens to be a multi-millionaire … and who can easily afford to pay for her own security, is nuts,” the Los Angeles Police Protective League’s board said.

An Alaska man is petitioning the Supreme Court to consider whether the government's seizure of his $95,000 plane for transporting an illicit six-pack of beer is an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment. The Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm, filed a petition for writ of certiorari today on behalf of Ken Jouppi, an 82-year-old Alaskan bush pilot, asking the Supreme Court to rule on whether states should consider the gravity of a defendant's specific offense, rather than an abstract view of the general crime. Jouppi was convicted of a misdemeanor when a passenger was attempting to bring beer to a "dry" village where alcohol is prohibited.

In early September, a jury trial will begin in North Texas for a 32-year-old activist named Raunaq Alam. He is accused of spray-painting “F*** Israel” on the wall of a non-denominational church in Euless, a small city roughly 20 minutes from Fort Worth. But it’s not the graffiti accusation that’s most troubling for Alam and his attorney. Using a hate-crimes statute, Tarrant county has enhanced its criminal mischief charges against Alam so he now faces 10 years in prison. The county’s argument – and the charges – are the same for two other activists. (snip) Alam adds that anyone who knows him knows he’s not a hateful person.

For over a year the San Francisco Housing Authority has tried to evict dozens of families the agency says are living illegally in a decrepit Potrero Hill public housing complex that is slated for demolition as part of a major redevelopment. Now with the project behind schedule and many of the eviction cases likely to be tied up in litigation for months, the authority is trying a new tactic to convince families to leave: Airbnb gift cards. Resident Tania Guevara, an immigrant who has been living with her 13-year-old son in a Potrero apartment since 2023, said the housing authority sent her a letter offering a $5,000 Airbnb gift card

South Carolina called on the Supreme Court on Thursday to enforce the state’s transgender bathroom ban against a 13-year-old transgender boy. The Fourth Circuit issued an injunction earlier this month preventing South Carolina from banning a student identified as John Doe from using restrooms matching his gender identity. The Palmetto State argued that the limited injunction left the state “stuck between an impossible rock and hard place.” “On the one hand, the Executive Branch demands, on pain of loss of federal funding, that schools apply Title IX as originally understood,”. “On the other hand, the Fourth Circuit has required Applicant Berkeley County School District to do exactly the opposite.”

President Donald Trump‘s Department of Housing and Urban Development is giving every public housing authority in the country 30 days to share citizenship status of tenants or risk losing their federal funding. By law, every PHA is required to share eligibility information, including citizenship status, with HUD. The Housing and Community Development Act specifically bars illegal immigrants from public housing programs. The letter gives each PHA 30 days from the receipt of the notice to fulfill the following six requests: 1. Identify all “mixed family” units, all units “by one or more individuals who do not contend that they have immigration status,” granted assistance without verifying immigration status

WASHINGTON — Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, President Donald Trump may be uniquely positioned to tamp down the anger that suffuses American politics and lead a movement to bind up a bitterly divided country if he chooses. But, political strategists and officials from both parties told NBC News, that’s not the path Trump appears to be taking. Trump has been both a target of assassination attempts and a fount of vitriolic rhetoric. He knows firsthand the passions that drive American voters and, were he to renounce partisan attacks and call on others in both parties to do the same, that gesture could potentially send a healing message.

It is almost a quarter-century now since the Sept. 11, 2001 jihad attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City and Washington. Many Americans assume that the jihad threat was somehow neutralized and contained in the immediate aftermath of those attacks, such that a large-scale jihad attack can never happen again in America, and the public discourse has moved on to other issues: mass migration, skyrocketing crime in the cities, tariffs, and the like. In reality, however, the jihad against the U.S. has not ended, and in the near-quarter century since 9/11, the jihadis have made immense gains.
