The WIAA was told by the state’s Attorney General Nick Brown and Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal, both Democrats, as well as the state’s Office for Civil Rights, that the proposals would violate state law.. The governing body for high school sports in Washington State has announced that it will not ban men from women’s sports following legal threats from Democrat officials. Washington state law currently requires educational agencies to allow students to participate in interscholastic sports "that most closely aligns with their gender identity.” The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) previously announced that it had proposed two bylaw...

An Illinois Christian college deleted a post congratulating Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, a graduate of the school, after facing backlash and later claimed it didn’t mean to be “political.”

The GOP-controlled Senate may be poised to sink Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation for Director of National Intelligence (DNI) without an outside soul knowing how they voted. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Senator Susan Collins (RINO-ME) may derail Gabbard’s confirmation as DNI due to concerns about Gabbard’s stance on Section 702 of the FISA which gives government permission to spy on supposed foreign targets without a warrant. Gabbard previously proposed legislation to repeal section 702 due to the government violating the Fourth Amendment by abusing the warrantless spying program to spy on American citizens. She has since tried to reassure senators...

Steve Bannon's fiery criticism of conservatives who "don't have the balls" to take action and fight is evident throughout his interview with GB News America's Steven Edginton. Bannon warns of the dangers of a third world war with the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, and urges conservatives to "take action" and defeat the woke Left. The former advisor to President Trump also urges Nigel Farage not to stand in the upcoming UK election and accuses Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak of betraying their conservative voters. Bannon says the assassination of JFK was one of the most important events of the...

It’s safe to say Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and NCAA President Charlie Baker won’t be exchanging Christmas cards any time soon. Baker, the infamous collegiate sports boss who’s allowed female athletes to be tormented by biological men for his entire tenure, flew to D.C. for what he thought would be a congressional hearing about sports betting. Instead, it turned into an explosive takedown of the NCAA’s wildly unpopular trans policy. From the opening gavel, there was no love lost for Baker, who’s presided over one of the most contentious chapters in college sports history.

Religious and political signage or advertisements will no longer be allowed on any Broward County Public School grounds after the board approved a policy change... The vote comes after issues at some schools including Cooper City High School, where a banner paid for by Pentecostals of Cooper City was removed from the school...

Not only are blue cities allowing criminals to run rampant, but they are also denying it’s happening.Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it “imagination” — despite video footage, police reports, and the city’s mayor confirming it’s happening. (Snip)After gaslighting everyone, they knew for weeks that Tren De Aragua was taking over buildings.Letters obtained by The Denver Gazette from the law firm representing CBZ Management — whose apartment complex in Aurora was shut down over what the city described as safety issues last month...

Video NEW YORK - Police sources have told FOX 5 NY that a person of interest is in custody after a murdered woman's body was found inside a sleeping bag in Manhattan last week. The body of 31-year-old Yazmeen Williams was found stuffed into garbage bags in front of a building on East 27th Street last Friday. The medical examiner's office determined that her cause of death was a gunshot wound to her head. Anger over the killing boiled over in Kips Bay on Monday when the NYPD took a man into custody just around the corner from where Williams'...

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl) has pivoted from her initial hardline stance against US Attorney General Merrick Garland. The House had previously voted 216 to 207 to hold Garland in contempt for failing to hand over the Robert Hur audio tape of his interview with President Joe Biden. The lone Republican siding with Democrats was Rep. David Joyce from Ohio. After promising to direct the House sergeant-at-arms to take Garland into custody, Luna has now proposed a daily fine of $10,000 until Garland complies with their subpoena. A source familiar with the situation revealed that she agreed to postpone the...

It doesn't get much more absurd than this. No, scratch that. It is 2024. We live in a simulation scripted by the Babylon Bee, and those guys are geniuses. It will get more absurd every day. Dr. Mary O'Connor is so respected by her colleagues that they invited her to speak as the keynote speaker at a Mayo event on the Florida campus. This is Dr. Mary O’Connor. She's employed by Mayo Clinic and was invited to speak at one of their conferences.Dr. O'Connor believes there are only 2 s*xes and men cannot be women. Due to these radical beliefs,...

Seattle is scrambling to raise the $5,000-a-day hotel costs for 240 asylum seekers who overtook a school play area with tents and foreign flags in a takeover locals called 'threatening.'. Seattle City Council members say they're working with Mayor Bruce Harrell's office to find an emergency solution to the cadre of migrants who camped at Garfield Tennis Courts, part of a community center used by local schools. A $50,000 donation has paid for the migrants and their children to return to the Quality Inn Hotel in Kent, but it's not clear what they will do when the cash for 61...

The State Department reportedly told staffers in a memo they should avoid using gendered phrases like “mother” or “father” for fear of offense.

This is the moment when the first grenade came over the wall while people were peacefully protesting. Note how packed the crowd is.

The Washington Post published then deleted a political cartoon depicting a spokesman for Hamas after the paper received backlash. Many readers felt the cartoon, which was published on Wednesday, was racist and offensive — promting WaPo opinion editor David Shipley to issue an apology. The cartoon by Michael Ramirez, which can still be found online...

@DougAMacgregor You have a understandable and justified interest from Israel to Destroy Hamas. However, I think the current plan will provoke an enormous reaction from the Muslim world. Pretty much everyone from Indonesia to Morocco is going to be extremely upset and I think we will see the front against Israel in the region coalesce into a real Military alliance against Israel. We need to protect Israel from itself. The problem is, it takes a President who has the authority and strength to tell the Israeli Government no, you can not go into Gaza and execute the plans you have.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier Wednesday, Jim Jordan lost a second bid for Speaker after 22 RINOs voted against him in a jealous fit.This marked the second time Jordan failed to achieve the necessary votes to become Speaker thanks to Republicans not sticking together.Their constituents responded to this betrayal by melting the phone lines and sending email messages demanding they reverse their illogical opposition to the Ohio conservative and ardent Biden opponent.Some of these Jordan-hating RINOs instead took to social media to lash out at We the People for daring to criticize their stances. Notice a few played up...

Carlson is far less kind about his colleagues in the press. “They're all fearful people,” the 54-year-old scoffs. Instead of holding the powerful to account, “they do exactly the opposite.” Indeed, “they do their bidding.” Looking ahead to the Presidential elections in 2024, he says: “They're trying to put Trump in prison for the crime of running against Joe Biden … That's what this election's about. Are we going to allow that, or aren't we? And I just don't think we can.”

<p>CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - City leaders voted to move a Ten Commandments monument out of a public park after an anti-gay preacher proposed his own monument saying slain college student Matthew Shepard is in hell.
