    Oregon is facing its second lawsuit in a month over the issue of biologically male trans athletes competing in girls' high school sports. Two of the state's girls' track and field stars, Alexa Anderson and Reese Eckard, filed a lawsuit against the Oregon School Athletics Association (OSAA) after an incident on May 31 when they refused to stand on a medal podium with a transgender competitor at a state title meet. Footage of the stunt went viral, as Anderson later told Fox News that officials instructed them to step away from the podium and get out of the shots of...

    The FBI spied extensively on a Roman Catholic priest who declined to disclose private conversations he had with a parishioner, according to a report released earlier this week from the House Judiciary Committee that has raised religious liberty concerns. “This new information demonstrates that the FBI not only used its federal law enforcement resources to surveil certain Catholic Americans, but it also used these resources to investigate a clergy member,” the committee said, according to the July 22 report that Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, shared with the Catholic News Agency. After he expressed reluctance to comply with a January 2023...

    Billionaire mogul David Geffen has rubbished his estranged boytoy husband's explosive claims that he's a sex and drug-crazed abuser. Geffen, 82, branded 32 year-old Donovan Michaels' divorce filing allegations 'false and pathetic'. Donovan Michaels, 32, alleges that his billionaire beau Geffen, 82, forced him to take drugs, subjected him to abusive sex and controlled his every move, according to the latest lawsuit in their messy divorce battle. ...

    Louisiana Illuminator ^ | July 20, 2025 | Halle Parker, Verite
    Louisiana is one of 30 states with criminal penalties related to exposing or transmitting HIV. Most of the laws were passed in the 1980s during the emergence of the AIDS epidemic. Since then, several states have amended their laws to make them less punitive or repealed them outright, including Maryland and North Dakota this year. But Louisiana’s law remains among the harshest. The state is one of five that may require people such as Smith to register as a sex offender if convicted, a label that can follow them for over a decade. And state lawmakers considered a bill to...

    The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a split decision Thursday rejected an Oregon administrative rule that barred a woman from becoming a foster parent because she said wouldn’t respect the sexual orientation of an LGBTQ+ child.Jessica Bates, of Vale in Malheur County, had sued the state, alleging its policy violated her rights to free speech and religious freedom. Bates, a widowed mother of five, said on her application to become a foster parent that her religious beliefs prevented her from following a rule requiring her to “respect, accept and support” the sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression...

    New York Post ^ | July 24, 2025 | Rikki Schlott
    Dating is hard, but blaming all men for your horrible choices is easy. A new New York Times piece, “The Trouble With Wanting Men,” by Jean Garnett, posits that the trouble with wanting men is … men. Like, all of them. It’s part of a genre of man-hating thought pieces that turn hetero love and dating into an all-out gender war — and totally absolve women of any agency or responsibility in their relationships. There’s no accountability or introspection, just the big diagnosis that men are the problem, from a woman who has decided to pursue open relationships, casual sex...

    Kaiser Permanente plans to pause surgical gender-affirming care for patients under 19 beginning Aug. 29. The health care provider confirmed the change to SFGATE and said the decision was made due to “significant risks” stemming from escalating federal scrutiny under President Donald Trump’s administration. In January, Trump issued an executive order titled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” which directed federal agencies to roll back funding, coverage and legal protections for gender-affirming care. In a statement, Kaiser said it made the “difficult decision” to pause surgical care for patients under 19 after consulting with internal and external experts in...

On Friday afternoon, police responded to a shooting outside a Safeway grocery store on Northeast Sandy Boulevard. A deceased man was found on the ground outside a vehicle in the parking lot. Hall...

    An abortion business in New Hampshire has been accused of attempting to groom and indoctrinate young girls by promoting its business using American Girl Dolls, which have long been marketed to girls 12 and under. While it is unclear if the American Girl company approved the use of its dolls in this manner, its own TikTok account shows it has shifted some of its marketing to young adults — many of whom grew up with the dolls and remain fans. Key Takeaways: * Lovering Health Center, a New Hampshire abortion business, used American Girl Dolls in a recent Facebook post...

    Three Alabama men have been arrested for allegedly operating what local authorities described as an “abhorrent” and “horrific” child sex abuse ring out of an underground bunker near their homes in Brent, Ala. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office announced this past weekend that William Chase McElroy, Dalton Terrell, and Andres Velazquez-Trejo have all been arrested and charged in connection with the child sex abuse case. Local authorities began investigating the case back in February, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office said in a social media post announcing the men’s arrest on Saturday.

    The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has effectively barred transgender women from competing in women’s sports, telling the federations overseeing swimming, athletics and other sports it has an “obligation to comply” with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump. The new policy, announced Monday with a quiet change on the USOPC’s website and confirmed in a letter sent to national sport governing bodies, follows a similar step taken by the NCAA earlier this year. The USOPC change is noted obliquely as a detail under “USOPC Athlete Safety Policy” and references Trump’s executive order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,”...

    A three-year-old girl was triggered to enter precocious puberty following exposure to her trans-identified father’s “gender affirming” topical estrogen gel. The toddler was seen by pediatric endocrinologists after experiencing breast development and vaginal discharge over a time frame of six months. The father, a male who identifies as a “woman,” told clinicians that he was having daily skin-to-skin contact with the toddler girl, despite his daily application of estradiol gel 3.75mg to his chest, abdomen, shoulders, and thighs. He had previously been using an estradiol spray on his forearms only. A case study, first published in the European Society for...

    The policy update does not use the word "transgender," but says it will comply with President Donald Trump's executive order on the matter. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee updated its policies to say it would comply with President Donald Trump's executive order banning transgender women from competing in women's sports. The committee made the change in an updated "Athlete Safety Policy," posted to their website Monday, which does not mention the word transgender in any of its 27 pages. But the document does include language that implies that transgender women will no longer be able to compete in women's...

    California Governor Gavin Newsom’s wife makes “gender justice” movies and sells them to the state public education system through her non-profit, The Representation Project. By 2023, she had charged the state $1.5 million for her “gender justice” movies. That’s a screaming example of a conflict of interest. If that’s not enough, the governor requested nonprofits and private corporations to contribute to his wife’s charity before taking their side on state issues.
