[NY Post] You will be made to care
Five West Virginia middle schoolers who protested a transgender athlete’s participation in a track and field competition have been barred from future meets — prompting the state attorney general to ask the US Supreme Court to weigh in on transgender student-athlete bans for a second time.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education on the dissenting students’ behalf after they were blocked from upcoming meets following their protests at the April 18 shot put competition, West Virginia Watch reported.
Five girls from Lincoln Middle School stepped up to the circle for their turn before refusing to throw in the event, which was won by Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 13-year-old girl who takes puberty-blocking medication and estrogen hormone therapy.
While West Virginia law bans transgender girls from playing on girls’ sports teams, a recent federal appeals court ruled that the law couldn’t lawfully be applied to the eighth-grader.
Judge Toby Heytens wrote that offering her a "choice" between not participating in sports and participating only on boys’ teams "is no real choice at all."
Despite the ruling, Morrisey has rallied against both the ruling and the treatment of the student-athletes who protested competing against Becky.
"Their actions at the earlier track meet were not disruptive or aggrandizing. They were the quiet demonstration of the student-athletes’ evident unhappiness with the competitive consequences of a federal appellate court’s decision," Morrisey, a Republican currently primarying for governor, wrote in the amicus brief filed April 26.
Joined by one of Becky’s classmates on Wednesday, Morrisey said he plans to ask the US Supreme Court to hear the case involving the state’s restrictions on transgender student-athletes for a second time.
Former collegiate swimmer-turned-activist Riley Gaines, who has been an outspoken critic of trans athletes participating in girls’ sporting events, has weighed in on the issue, writing, "These girls stood up for what they believed and their coach barred them from competing. Insane" in a post on X on Monday.
Morrisey quote-tweeted Gaines’ message, noting he plans to do "everything in my power to defend these brave young girls."
"This is just wrong. We must stand for what’s right and oppose these radical trans policies. Thanks to @Riley_Gaines_ for her leadership on this critical issue."

Putting the clampdown on middle school girls is a bad look.

Get on with your lives, girls. You have to live 60-70 years past high school and 99% of you will never be pro athletes.
So just pick a profession and get a job.

Those girls(and all those that support them) should show up to every sports event in school and disrupt every event by rolling balls onto the playing fields…. The school board likes balls… give them balls
[Gateway] President Trump shared last week that he believes the FBI stole his will. The FBI also stole 1,800 other items that were not documents that belonged to President Trump. This was not lawful or necessary.
It is also widely known at this point that Joe Biden who ordered the FBI access to Trump’s documents at Mar-a-Lago and President Trump’s personal belongings.
On pages 2-3 of the ruling Judge Cannon revealed that it was JOE BIDEN who ordered the FBI access to the Mar-a-Lago documents and President Trump’s personal belongings.
Yet another example of why O'Biden Regime fears Trump rightfully being elected in 2024.
Given, many would be convicted of Treason or face a list of felony level crimes. Which could get them shipped to one of those little islands we don't openly speak of in the middle of nowhere surrounded by water, or ADX.

During the Mar-A-lago raid Trump's attorneys were not permitted to be present. This allowed the FBI to plant whatever they were looking for and take what ever they wanted. IIRC the warrant wasn't presented in full to Trump's staff, allowing for changes after the raid.

Another Deep State hoax that ended up even more embarrassing for Joe when DoJ said he couldn't be prosecuted for his classified documents because he's too old and feeble.

[ZERO] Soon on the heels of President Biden last week signing into law a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine's defense, President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday indicated that he's working with Washington on a bilateral security agreement which would last ten years.
"We are already working on a specific text," Zelensky said in his nightly video address. "Our goal is to make this agreement the strongest of all."
"We are discussing the specific foundations of our security and cooperation. We are also working on fixing specific levels of support for this year and the next 10 years."
He indicated it will likely include agreements on long-term support centering on military hardware and joint arms production, as well as continuing reconstruction aid. "The agreement should be truly exemplary and reflect the strength of American leadership," Zelensky added.
But ultimately a key purpose in locking such a long-term deal in would be to keep it immune from potential interference by a future Trump administration.
Below is what The Wall Street Journal spelled out last year:
[NYPOST] An OnlyFans creator and TikTok star has claimed she was paid to spread "political propaganda" for the Biden administration on social media — and that she was asked to hide the fact it was advertising.
Farha Khalidi said she’d been asked to help boast about then-Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to her tens of thousands of social media followers after Brown Jackson was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Biden.
"I was doing full-on political propaganda," the social media personality said during a recent podcast interview with commentator Richard Hanania.
"The funny thing is they’re, like, ’Do not disclose this as an ad’ because they [were], like, ’Technically, it’s not a product, so you don’t have to disclose it’s an ad.’ Because I think they just wanted, like, some edgy girl of color to just tell people — like when they nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson, they’re, like, ’Can you say "as a person of color," you know, that you feel "reflected"?’"
When probed about the Biden admin, Khalidi, who boasts more than 119,000 Instagram followers, clarified that she was dealing with a "conduit" third-party media company at the time.
"It’s not Biden, but it’s, like, a third party. You know what I mean? It’s, like, a media company that’s doing it on his behalf. I’m not blaming him for this," Khalidi said.
She went on to say that she ultimately pushed back against the "script" because it was a white woman from the media company telling her what to say.
"And I’m, like, ’No,’ and she’s like, ’Please,’ and I’m like, ’No.’ I’ll talk about the news of it, but I’m not gonna be like — I’m not gonna have a white person tell me to be, like, ’This is how I feel as a person of color.’ It’s just so — I think that black-pilled me slightly on political propaganda," Khalidi said.
"Yeah, they’re basically, ’As, like, another black person, can you just say that you feel reflected by Ketanji?’ I’m like, ’No, I’ll talk about Ketanji’s background and her accomplishments,’ but you know what I mean? I’ll never — I’m not gonna say, like, the corny stuff, even if it was a brown person emailing it to me."
The White House didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Elsewhere in the interview, Khalidi said the political payments were just one way she was raking in cash during college.
"I was taking ads by the time I graduated college from, like, the Biden administration, Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party... and, like, dating apps and stuff. So it was, like, fully financially sustaining me," Khalidi said.
It wasn’t immediately clear exactly how much Khalidi was paid.

We, like, get your message, like.
I worked with a kid who talked just like that, like, you know? I wanted to slap him and ask him if he could speak an American dialect other than fucking Valley Girl.
[FoxNews] Democratic strategist James Carville unloaded on young voters in a video posted Sunday and mocked the key voting bloc for being sour on President Biden, angrily declaring there would be "no rights left" if former President Trump wins the election.
Carville, who has been warning the Democratic Party about losing support from younger voters and specifically, young Black voters, said he heard a lot of complaints from younger voters about Biden, the oldest president to hold office.
"‘James, young voters are just not into this. It’s two candidates, one’s in their 80s, one is almost in their 80s, they’re concerned about things that Washington politicians, and you just can’t blame them for—‘ Oh, sh--. F--- you!" Carville yelled.
Are you watching what is happening in the Supreme Court?" Carville continued.
"If you’re 26, do you see what they’re doing? First of all, they’re gonna take every right that you could possibly have away from you," he said.
Carville said the "originalists" on the Supreme Court were "illegitimate whores" and went on to argue the Supreme Court was not a legitimate branch of government.
"Don't teach anybody that the current Supreme Court has any moral or legal legitimacy. It doesn't. It's in there because of contrivements, and it's in there because of weakness and cowardice," he said.
Carville has warned that the president won't replicate the coalition he had in 2020.
"I do think that the polling has gotten a little bit better," Carville told MSNBC's Ari Melber in April. "But we’re not going to replicate the 2020 coalition. Most people think we’re going to lose Hispanic males. The young, Black males have become so disengaged from this process, and it’s happened rapidly. That’s a great concern for me."
"There will be no government left, there will be no rights left, you will live under theocracy, you’ll end up with Christian nationalism," Carville said during the Sunday video, warning against what he believes would happen if Trump wins. "But that’s all right, you little f------ 26-year-old, you don’t feel like ‘the election’s important to me. They’re not addressing the issues that I care about.'"
Carville previously said the polling among younger voters was "horrifying."
"I've been very vocal about this," Carville said. "It's horrifying our numbers among younger voters, particularly younger Blacks, younger Latinos … younger people of color, particularly males."
