Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been doing the federal government’s job for some time now, cobbling together policies, legal cover, manpower, and infrastructure to repel at least a portion of the hordes the Democrats are importing into the country. In March of 2021, Abbott launched Operation Lone Star, an initiative of the Governor’s Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the Texas National Guard “to work together to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal behavior between ports of entry.”
Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 325,000 migrant apprehensions and more than 21,900 criminal arrests, with more than 19,400 felony charges reported. In the fight against fentanyl, DPS has seized over 352 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this border mission.
But Joe Biden’s invited guests have only increased their numbers. A week after being reelected last month, Abbott invoked the Invasion Clauses of the Texas and U.S. Constitutions, unlocking additional powers to help defend his state and nation from the third-world invasion.
Now reports are coming in that the Texas National Guard is deploying personnel, concertina wire, and vehicles along the border to repel the invaders.
But alas, the state can only do so much in the face of federal determination to pack the country with a new, socialism-ready underclass.
Texas’s valiant efforts may at least work partway to “stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas” and “prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal behavior between ports of entry,” but it won’t accomplish much to stop the invasion. Only a policy change at the federal level can do that. So for the time being, the unspeakable betrayal of U.S. citizens by a major political party will continue unabated.

Earlier today, Rick Moran highlighted just a few of the lowlights of the $1.7 trillion spending spree. I’m not going to use the word “pork” since that descriptor has been applied over and over again for decades, yet no one ever seems to get the message.
There are plenty of examples available on the web of how our legislators are going to essentially set fire to your tax dollars. And as Rick pointed out, the sheer size of the bill is staggering. And there is a good reason for that, mainly that if everyone knew what was in it, even as the clock winds down, the nation would collectively projectile vomit. Or maybe not. The public does enjoy remaining blissfully ignorant.
Nestled within the pages of the bill is a particularly odious appropriation. According to Fox News, Republican Congressman Dan Bishop of North Carolina found $575 million to be allocated to “reproductive health.” But it is far more ominous than it sounds. Bishop tweeted:
On a more sinister note, here’s at least $575 million for ‘family planning’ in areas where population growth ‘threatens biodiversity.’ Malthusianism is a disturbing, anti-human ideology that should have ZERO place in any federal program.
If you follow the thread, you will see that Bishop has unearthed a raft of things that are meant to infringe on civil liberties, not to mention fund gender equity in Pakistan, provide more money for NPR, and create a hike in the number of H2B visas, among other things.
In other words, the Democrats’ greatest hits. But let’s return to the original issue, “reproductive health” and “biodiversity.” Who determines what areas should be targeted? What is the definition of threatened biodiversity? Yes, the bill does include more funding for Planned Parenthood, but we knew that. But when you get into the territories of reproductive health and in particular, biodiversity, any number of agencies, regulations, and actions can be involved.
In my days as a reporter, I saw many incidents in which energy projects were curtailed because of the potential threat to an animal or plant species. At times, it was a stretch to find a species. At one point, a project in Utah was questioned because there might be a potential impact on the Mexican Grey Wolf.
Cutting back on America’s energy production is bad enough. But this means cutting back on Americans. The left has found yet another way to promote abortions and abortion clinics. So if there isn’t one in your town, there will be soon. There are animals, insects, and plants to be protected by preventing the birth of humans. It is an environmentalist’s dream come true.
There’s a chilling anti-human synergy between the Left’s pet projects, from throttling energy production and raising the cost of living to outright killing people in the womb. It’s all about making fewer, less vibrant, and wholly dependant people. It’s truly evil.
Of course, we know that this is just a ploy to promote abortions, and the environmental angle just adds some sex appeal. But your elected officials, even those with an “R” or an “I” next to their names, have a choice to make, not just about spending but also about the value they place on human life and dignity. And you need to let them know that you know what is in the bill and that they had better vote no.
For some of you, that may be a lost cause. If you live in Kentucky, you know that McConnell has gone all-in for the bill. And in some decidedly blue states, the matter may already be settled. But if you are not in a blue state, or even if you are, call or email your senator or congressman, anyway. Demand to know where they stand on babies versus biodiversity.

At the same event, MassResistance was banned from having a table for being "transphobic." Other pro-family groups boycotted it. [Photo: Slate]
[NOTE: A previous version of this article appeared in American Thinker.]
On Nov. 13, 2022, the occupant of the Oval Office signed into law the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act.” It repeals the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act and codifies same-sex “marriage” into federal law. It allows for Justice Department prosecution and private lawsuits against anyone who uses a state’s own laws to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages or carry out “any public act” pertaining to such marriages.
Its passage by Congress (with the help of numerous “moderate” Republicans) has been bewailed by conservative groups. But let’s not fool ourselves. This didn’t happen because of some weak-kneed RINOs. It’s the result of a near-total capitulation of the conservative movement on the marriage issue over recent decades, which has trickled up to Congress.
In the critical weeks before its final passage by the Senate followed by the House, major pro-family groups spent lots of money and energy lobbying tirelessly against it. These groups were at the same time polishing their image as stalwart defenders of the family (in their ongoing appeals for funding from conservative citizens).
The arguments that our side wouldn’t use
But with all that effort, here’s what Congress and the public did not hear from the mainstream conservatives as reasons to defeat the bill:
The Supreme Court’s 5-4 Obergefell ruling that supposedly “legalized” same-sex marriage was a complete political sham having no basis in actual constitutional law. (In addition, two of the liberal justices should have recused themselves.) As Justice Thomas hinted, it needs to be scrapped. To claim that the Constitution includes or implies such a “right” is simply nonsense. Previously, dozens of states rightly banned same-sex marriage to underscore that truth.
You can’t repeal the laws of nature. There is no such thing as same-sex “marriage.” The concept is an invention of the LGBT movement. The federal government cannot force people to believe a lie.
Same-sex marriage enshrines into law behavior that is fraught with horrible medical and psychological problems. (Our 600-page book, The Health Hazards of Homosexuality: What the Medical and Psychological Research Reveals, documents this in detail.) America’s medical associations have shamelessly – and unscientifically – sold out on this point. Moreover, it’s a scientific fact that no one is “born gay.”
People around the world have ordered this book.
Not least, there is the religious aspect that is well-known to nearly everyone. To put it succinctly, men using one another as women will always constitute a perversion. Don’t blame me; blame God.
The wimpy political brainiacs on our side say that we need to sound moderate and reasonable. They constantly insist that telling these obvious truths will anger the leftists and therefore won’t help. They’re wrong. Boldly repeating these truths actually moves the whole political discourse to the right. Ignoring them has the opposite effect.
Let’s be honest. Conservative leaders don’t want to be called “bigots” in the mainstream media. And they don’t want to alienate the false Republicans who go along with same-sex marriage. They might want their votes on other bills – or their donations.
Rather than face the wrath of the liberal media, this state GOP leader apologized after the GOP delegates passed a resolution correctly describing LGBT practices as "unhealthy and dangerous."
So instead, there was really just one message from our side. It centered on “religious freedom.” It basically said: If you insist on passing this, there must be some religious freedom protections added. People with “sincerely held religious beliefs” against same-sex marriage need safeguards.
The obvious questions are: What about people who don’t have “sincerely held religious beliefs” but just think that same-sex marriage is disgusting, unhealthy, or destabilizing for society? And who gets to determine whether one’s beliefs are sufficiently “sincere”? Our side’s argument was weak as dishwater, and the leftists basically laughed at us.
Yes, it is true that religious liberty is in grave danger with this new law. On the surface, the text of the bill seems to include many protections. But in fact, there are numerous possible loopholes.
More importantly, our side’s complete willingness to concede the overall Orwellian codification of same-sex marriage into federal law while fighting the narrow “religious liberty” battle sent a clear message that we weren’t serious.
We can’t expect conservative members of Congress to boldly use the necessary arguments if the big-money groups on our side are afraid to back them up. Make no mistake: If the tables had been turned, the Left would have thrown everything they could think of at us, and in as vicious a manner as they could muster.
The conservative movement vs. conservative activists
Conservative grassroots activists may have strong feelings about this, but the mainstream conservative movement went south on the whole LGBT issue a long time ago.
CPAC (the huge "Conservative Political Action Conference") now has the Log Cabin Republicans as a sponsor, and tranny contingents are welcomed, but groups deemed “anti-gay” or “transphobic” are banned from having a table (as MassResistance was in 2018). Last year President Trump and GOP Chairman Ronna McDaniel hosted a gala event promoting LGBT inclusion in the Republican Party.
Two days after the “Respect for Marriage” act was signed into law, President Trump held another gala event for homosexual Republicans. “We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard,” Trump told the crowd. “Conservative” stalwart Kari Lake of Arizona was also part of the festivities that night.

Moran, and others at the December 15 Mar-a-Lago LGBT event. [Photo: Lifesitenews - Twitter/David Leatherwood]
Tucker Carlson regularly has openly LGBT guests on his show, but except for the transgender assault on children, never includes anyone countering that overall movement. And virtually every one of the “moms” groups fighting porn in schools makes it clear that they are not against the LGBT movement in their schools. It goes on and on.
With that kind of capitulation on our side, it would have been a shock if we had won the vote on the “marriage” bill!
Going back decades …
This misguided approach goes back many years. After same-sex marriage was first “legalized” by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in 2004 and there was a battle to get the Legislature to pass a state constitutional amendment to reverse that, the mantra by the big conservative groups was “every child needs a mother and a father” and “marriage is between one man and one woman.” They shied away from suggesting that same-sex marriage was simply a “lie” – physiologically and morally impossible.
The amendment sunk like a rock. The LGBT movement countered that with slick emotional arguments, howling that they were all “about “love” and “equality” – and we were simply “haters.” They said that they could make very “loving” parents and that everyone should have “marriage” rights.
When the same-sex marriage lawsuits began to move through the federal courts, our side repeated the refrain, “Children do best when raised by a mother and father” (which is technically true but less relevant in this fight).

This mushy collection of arguments was used right up through the Obergefell case – and our side lost consistently. At one point during the Proposition 8 marriage lawsuit in California, the openly homosexual judgeactually reprimanded our side for presenting such an inept case. It was embarrassing, but our people didn’t seem to care.
Our side must do what’s right!
In order to achieve their deranged agenda, the Left must lie about virtually everything. Our side has the truth, which is much more powerful – if we’re not afraid to use it. In our own activism, we have experienced that first-hand many times.
Unfortunately, as someone once observed, on cutting-edge culture war issues the mainstream conservative movement is continuously willing to settle for “defeat with dignity.” It is cowardly, and dishonest, and doesn’t seem to bother them at all.
Boldly telling the truth works. Sadly, MassResistance is one of the few national groups willing to do it consistently and methodically – and we’re not stopping!
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!

Nigel Farage is once again holding the British government responsible for its illegal Muslim migrant crisis:
He was interviewed about the matter:
The BBC reported two months ago that the UK was spending a staggering $8.5 million USD a day on hotels, paid by taxpayers, many of who have not recovered economically from the Covid crisis.
According to the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, “In 2020, the top five most common countries of the nationality of people seeking asylum in the UK were Iran, Iraq, Albania, Eritrea, and Sudan,” which are all majority-Muslim countries except Eritrea, which has a significant Muslim minority. “Of all refugees resettled in the UK from January 2010 to December 2020, around 70% were Syrian.”
And how has the British government been handling the invasion of mostly Muslim migrants from North Africa and the Middle East coming across the English Channel? From Boris Johnson to Rishi Sunak, there have been empty promise after empty promise to end the arrival of these huge numbers of illegal economic migrants. The Conservative governments have all lied. While hardworking Britons get played for fools, traitorous politicians live high on the hog.

Come on, man. What’s a little rounding error between friends?
What’s a little rounding error between a corrupt hack and the country he’s running into the ground?
“In the second quarter of this year, we created more jobs than in any quarter under any of my predecessors in the nearly 40 years before the pandemic,” Mr. Biden said on July 8.
“The economy created more than 1.1 million jobs in the second quarter, or around 375k jobs per month,” the White House said in a statement on July 22.
A million or ten thousand. Come on, man. Who’s keeping track?
The Philadelphia Fed’s new assessment shows that employment numbers in 29 states and the District of Columbia were significantly lower than the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported for the March-through-June period.
The BLS, a division of the Department of Labor, estimated net job growth of 1,047,000 jobs in the second quarter. The Philadelphia Fed now says its data shows that 10,500 net jobs were created in that period.
Another reminder that anything from BLS or anything under the control of administration political appointees cannot be trusted. The Biden administration is actually worse than the Obama administration in this regard. Everything is corruptly politicized and appointees will flat-out tell the most outrageous lies.
Not that this comes as a surprise even to the media. How many times has this happened already?

So, you (and the world) survived the giant UN COP27 Climate Summit that finished up last month in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. And you thought you might get a little relief from the incessant hectoring by the Klaus Schwabs, Joe Bidens, and Greta Thunbergs of the world about how your fossil-fuel vehicle, bacon burgers, and AC are melting the icecaps and destroying the planet. But, nooooo! No sooner had the UN’s self-indulgent, globetrotting technocrats left their luxury digs at that world-savers confab than they were off to Montreal, Canada, for another lavish, two-week marathon event. We’re referring to the 15th UN Biodiversity Conference of Parties (COP15), which was tasked with gaining global buy-in for a world-shackling “biodiversity” treaty to complement the UN Paris Agreement on climate. Instead of hysterical hand-wringing about the supposed existential threat from melting icecaps, rising sea levels, wildfires, and hurricanes, the biodiversity disaster choir insists that we are facing doom from the imminent “mass extinction” of plant and animal species due to our irresponsible “overconsumption.”
“Experts are warning that if the 196 countries under the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity don’t agree on a deal by the end of the conference, then it will be almost impossible to save what’s left of the world’s wildlife and natural lands,” the International Business Times reported on December 8 as the Montreal conference got underway. The “experts” so frequently cited in news reports are those associated with the UN’s Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), which is the UN’s biodiversity “science” counterpart to it’s infamous Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC), which regularly dispenses frightful predictions of doom about to befall us — unless we grant federal and global bureaucrats omnipotent powers of regulation and control to protect us from ourselves. Like the IPCC, the IPBES program is supported by the usual “experts” from Big Green — World Wildlife Fund, Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, National Geographic Society, Greenpeace, International Union for the Conservation of Nature, etc. — and the usual Big Media sock puppets. Like the IPCC, the UN’s IPBES is generously funded by governments (the U.S., China, Japan, France, Germany, the EU) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (see here).
Another notable IPBES donor is the Kering Foundation, an image-polishing project of French billionaire and fashion mogul Francois-Henri Pinault (husband of actress Salma Hayek), whose seedy underbelly was recently exposed in the Balenciaga “fashion” scandal featuring outrageous child-porn ads with BDSM (bondage-dominance/sado-masochism) imagery (see here and here).
According to the IPBES’ often-cited 2019 report on “Nature’s Dangerous Decline,” “around 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than ever before in human history.” And, said the IPBES, “the rate of species extinctions is accelerating, with grave impacts on people around the world now likely.”
This “mass extinction” scare story is not new; we have been reporting on the scientific debunking of this manufactured “crisis” for decades, as the video below from 2012 shows.
Typical of UN summits, delegates representing 195 countries and the European Union at the Montreal biodiversity farce haggled for two weeks (December 7-19) over details of the text of the “framework” before going into an all-night, hyper-pressured session, with an army of NGO activists (subsidized by taxpayers and the usual tax-exempt foundations) pushing for negotiators to adopt the most extreme positions. Finally, at 3:30 a.m. Montreal time Monday, the great faux drama concluded with the announcement that an agreement had been reached on the framework text.
Billions for Eco-bribery
What’s inside the new “biodiversity framework”? The left-wing Guardian of Great Britain reported early on the morning of December 19 that “the gathering nations at the biodiversity summit have agreed to four goals and 23 targets. The goals include protecting 30 percent of the world’s land, water, and marine areas by 2030, as well as the mobilization, by 2030, of at least $200 billion US per year in domestic and international biodiversity-related funding from all sources, both public and private.”
“There is also a pledge,” the Guardian continued, “to reduce subsidies deemed harmful to nature by at least $500 billion by 2030 while having developed countries commit to providing developing countries with at least $20 billion per year by 2025, and $30 billion per year by 2030.”
It was a foregone conclusion that the summit would be another multi-billion-dollar UN shakedown of taxpayers in the developed world ostensibly to aid the poor in developing countries. That’s always the compassion appeal cover story. But everyone knows that whatever funds are finally delivered will be funneled through various national governments and UN agencies to kleptocrat regimes, politically connected corporations, and favored NGOs — and, of course, with ample pilfering by the UN banditti along the way. Whatever trickles down to local Potemkin-village projects for media exploitation are likely to be inconsequential (or even harmful) to the local people and the environment.
The Agenda 2030 “Masterplan for Humanity” and the 30X30 Initiative
However, while multi-billion-dollar payoffs provide plenty of incentive for politicos and corporates alike to hop on board the biodiversity bandwagon, for the consummate globalists the real objective is power — earth-shaking, “transformative” power, on a global scale. Power as envisioned by the Davos elites to “reset” the entire world — and all humanity — according to their own demonic whims. Thus, does the World Economic Forum’s majordomo Klaus Schwab openly put forward in the WEF’s proposed “Great Reset,” which supposes the need for Klaus and his fellow megalomaniacs to structurally “transform” the planet (and all of us who live on it) politically, economically, socially, environmentally, biologically, morally, and spiritually.
A big part of the Great Reset involves the promotion and adoption of the UN’s Agenda 2030, which has been prominently and repeatedly featured on the WEF website since it was officially launched by the UN in 2016 (see, for instance, here, here, here, and here).
Agenda 2030, as regular readers of The New American know, is a rebranding of the massive Agenda 21 that emerged from the 1992 UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. In his “Sustainable Development Goals Implementation Strategy Briefing” to the UN General Assembly on November 8 of 2016, then-President of the UN General Assembly Peter Thomson called Agenda 2030 a “masterplan for humanity.” Of course, a master plan assumes a master planner (or master planners), who will also be the master(s) that order the slaves to carry out the master plan. The Agenda 2030 “masterplan” is guided by 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets, to be fully cemented into place by the year 2030.
The 30-by-30 (or 30X30) initiative is a key component of Agenda 2030, calling for, as noted above, “protecting 30 percent of the world’s land, water, and marine areas by 2030.” In this context, “protecting” means controlling, which means putting huge swaths of land and ocean (as well as rivers, lakes, streams, and aquifers) under government (national and global) control. President Joe Biden jumped into the 30X30 initiative as one of his earliest actions in the Oval Office, signing an “Executive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad” on January 27, 2021. The Biden executive order announced the administration’s intent “to achieve the goal of conserving at least 30 percent of our lands and waters by 2030.” Notice the qualifying phrase “at least.” That’s because the 30 percent is viewed by Big Green as the first installment on the way to 50 percent.
National Geographic is one of the many “prestige” transmission belts to promote this 50-percent idea, writing, for instance, in 2019: “Countries should double their protected zones to 30 percent of the Earth’s land area, and add 20 percent more as climate stabilization areas, for a total of 50 percent of all land kept in a natural state, scientists conclude.” Again, we see those ubiquitous “scientists” who, like Anthony Fauci, presume to speak in the name of science. That means, of course, no drilling for oil or gas or mining for minerals in these “protected” areas. It also means farming and ranching — food production — will be made next to impossible for all except the huge globalist food cartels. (See here, and here.)
So, if we allow the globalists’ 30X30 land and water grab to succeed, they will soon be back for their 50X50 (50 percent of land and water by 2050).
But, hey, it’s all being done for Mother Earth, right? After all, she is reverentially mentioned eight times in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. (Note: It’s called the Kunming-Montreal framework because Communist China held the presidency of the conference and the event originally was to have taken place in the Chinese city of Kunming. However, the venue was changed to Montreal due to China’s renewed Covid outbreak.) Those Gaia-style references include pseudo-legal claims concerning the “rights of nature and rights of Mother Earth.” These, we are told, are “an integral part” of the biodiversity framework and “its successful implementation.” And we can count on Big Green and its army of lawyers to represent the “rights of Mother Earth” and interpret what she demands of us mere interloping mortals. This translates into more regulations and lawsuits aimed at farmers, ranchers, miners, loggers, manufacturers — virtually anyone who produces any of the things we need, use, and consume.
Veteran readers of this magazine will recognize in the 30X30 and 50X50 schemes a rebirth of the radical Wildlands efforts of 1990s to implement the 1992 UN Convention on Biological Diversity through “rewilding” half of the United States. (See the April 3, 1995 article “Global Green Regime: The Biodiversity Treaty” by this writer and the July 3, 2000 article “The United Nations’ Big Green Machine” by Idaho Congresswoman Helen Chenoweth-Hage). The John Birch Society and other property-rights groups and liberty-loving activists fought much of that agenda to a standstill. However, like the vampire that keeps returning unless a stake is put through its heart, these UN programs keep coming back, powered by infusions of U.S. taxpayer dollars. The only genuine solution is to Get US out! Of the United Nations; and Get the UN out of the United States.
The most recent effort in this direction is The American Sovereignty Restoration Act (H.R. 7806) introduced in this past Congress by Representative Mike Rogers (R-Alabama). It did not go anywhere in the Pelosi-controlled Democratic House, but it, or a similar version, should fare much better in the new Congress.

On December 16, a three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals determined that Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) rules allowing biological males to compete against girls in female sporting competitions were allowed by Title IX, a 1972 law that prohibits sex-based discrimination at educational facilities.
Four female athletes, led by Selina Soule — a Connecticut track and field athlete who was denied the opportunity to compete in the New England Interscholastic Track and Field Championships because two biological males “identifying” as females beat her out for the top spots — brought the suit. The other athletes are Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith, and Ashley Nicoletti.
Judges Denny Chin and Susan Carney, both Obama appointees, and Beth Robinson, a Biden appointee, agreed with a District Court ruling that the four girls lacked standing to sue for damages and their case must be dismissed.
“We are unpersuaded, with respect to the claim for an injunction to alter the records, that Plaintiffs have established the injury in fact and redressability requirements for standing; both fail for reasons of speculation,” the judges wrote. “And because we conclude that the CIAC and its member schools did not have adequate notice that the Policy violates Title IX — indeed, they had notice to the contrary — Plaintiffs’ claims for damages must be dismissed.”
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which is representing the female plaintiffs, strongly disagreed and is considering an appeal.
“The 2nd Circuit got it wrong, and we’re evaluating all legal options, including appeal. Our clients — like all female athletes — deserve access to fair competition. Thankfully, a growing number of states are stepping up to protect women’s athletics,” an ADF statement read. “Right now, 18 states have enacted laws that protect women and girls from having to compete against males, and polls show that a majority of Americans agree that the competition is no longer fair when males are permitted to compete in women’s sports. Every woman deserves the respect and dignity that comes with having an equal opportunity to excel and win in athletics, and ADF remains committed to protecting the future of women’s sports.”
“Our clients, like all female athletes across the country, deserve fair competition,” Christiana Kiefer, an ADF attorney, told the AP. “And that means the fair and equal quality of competition, and that just does not happen when you’re forced to compete against biological males in their sports.”
“The vast majority of the American public recognizes that in order to have fair sports, we have to protect the female category, and I think you’re seeing that trend increasingly with states across the country passing laws to protect women’s sports.… This is certainly not the end of the road in the fight for fairness for female athletes,” Keifer added.
The ACLU, who defended the CIAC policy on behalf of the two “transgendered” male athletes — Andraya Yearwood and Terry Miller — was, naturally, delighted with the biology-denying ruling.
“Today’s ruling is a critical victory for fairness, equality, and inclusion,” said Joshua Block, an ACLU attorney specializing in LGBTQ issues. “The court rejected the baseless zero-sum arguments presented by the opposition to this policy and ultimately found transgender girls have as much a right to play as cisgender girls under Title IX. This critical victory strikes at the heart of political attacks against transgender youth while helping ensure every young person has the right to play.”
“Trans student athletes belong on our sports teams and in our schools, and all trans youth should be celebrated and protected for who they are,” said Elana Bildner, an ACLU Foundation of Connecticut senior staff attorney. “Today, the courts have once again dismissed this lawsuit seeking to attack trans student-athletes. The record shows that our clients played by the rules, and the court agreed.”
Nobody was arguing that the two male athletes who competed in the girls' division didn’t play “by the rules.” Instead, they argued that the rules that allow the stronger and faster males to compete against females were ridiculous and wrong.
A tiny science-denying minority has gained an undeniable foothold in our culture. Merely by virtue of proclaiming themselves “female,” male athletes who would be, at best, middle of the road in competitions against other males are allowed in some jurisdictions to dominate sports that should be female-only. And many courts in America are bowing to the whims of that minority.
Military official bullied me over sex education: Concerned mom
New Jersey mother Angela Reading shares with Tucker Carlson how an Army officer allegedly bullied her on Facebook for voicing concern over her child's elementary school teaching pansexuality.
Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.
The U.S. military and police responded after a concerned New Jersey mother and school board member spoke out against bizarre posters targeting elementary children with hypersexual propaganda promoting homosexuality, transgenderism, and even the wonders of being “agender,” “pansexual,” and “polysexual.” Critics are now calling for all the officials involved to resign.
The local mother, Angela Reading, became “livid” and posted her concerns about these “perverse” posters on Facebook, along with photographs of the school propaganda for other parents to see. “It should be illegal to expose my kids to sexual content,” said Reading, noting that she saw the images as she was taking her seven-year-old daughter to “math night” at the elementary school.
“Also, how can my young children be accepting of people who are ‘sexually attracted to multiple genders’? They don’t know what sex is,” she continued. “Are adults talking about their sexual life with my kids and looking for affirmation? Are there elementary students engaged in polyamorous or multi-gender sexual activity who need my kids to know about it and cheer them on?”
“I am very confused and very angry,” added Reading, who said she welcomed debate but was appalled when her daughter asked what “polysexual” meant. Her children have now been pulled from the school with no plans to return, according to news reports. But the nightmare is not over yet.
Instead of apologizing to parents and firing all the groomers sexualizing school children under 10 years old, the government went even wilder. In fact, in what may be an unprecedented move even more outrageous than terrorizing concerned parents with the FBI’s “terrorism” forces, the Biden administration’s increasingly radicalized military went after Reading.
“The current situation involving Mrs. Reading’s actions has caused safety concerns for many families,” claimed Lt. Col. Christopher Schilling in a statement posted on social media. “The Joint Base leadership takes this situation very seriously and from the beginning have had the Security Forces working with multiple state and local law enforcement agencies to monitor the situation to ensure the continued safety of the entire community.”
The disgraced military officer, who called Reading an “extremist,” continued to haunt social media services attacking people who expressed support for Reading. However, he did not specify what may have caused supposed “safety concerns” for any families. Nor did he say under what supposed authority the military was getting involved in local educational issues.
Police chief Robert Duff of North Hanover, meanwhile, contacted the Facebook group and asked for Reading’s post to be removed. Citing concerns about “Homeland Security coming after me,” Reading agreed to allow the harmless post expressing her opinion to be removed from social media.
Thousands of parents have signed a petition supporting Reading and the rights of all other parents not to have their children sexualized — and to be able to speak out against grooming and perversion being imposed on children in tax-funded “educational” institutions. Many called for Schilling and all others involved to resign.
The national scandal, which was first reported on the Chaos and Control substack under the headline Woke NJ Military Goes After Local Mom, resulted in widespread outrage throughout New Jersey and beyond. Reading even went on Fox News’s Tucker Carlson show, the largest cable TV show in America, to expose the terrifying absurdity of it all.
Having the U.S. military get involved in this case represents a dramatic escalation in the Biden administration’s escalating War on Parents and Families. Anybody who participated in infringing on Readings rights under color of law must be removed from their offices and prosecuted under federal statutes dealing with precisely this sort of abuse.
