Marissa Rothenberger pitched all 21 innings of the state tournament for Champlin Park MINNEAPOLIS – The Champlin Park Rebels are state champions. The No. 2-seeded Rebels shut out No. 4 Bloomington Jefferson, 6–0, in the Class AAAA Minnesota high school girls’ softball championship game Friday morning at Jane Sage Cowles Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota. Once again, it was junior pitcher Marissa Rothenberger, a trans-identifying male athlete, who took the mound for Champlin Park — and never gave it up. Rothenberger threw a complete-game shutout, allowing just three hits and striking out six to secure the...

A group of Minnesota high school softball players is suing Attorney General Keith Ellison and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL), alleging that the state’s transgender athlete policy violates federal law and harms female athletes. Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a national legal organization, filed the federal lawsuit Monday on behalf of Female Athletes United (FAU), a group of Minnesota girls who say they have been forced to compete against a biologically male athlete in high school softball. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, claims the state’s current policy allowing males to compete in...

Meet "Marissa" Rothenberger, a 6-foot-tall MALE pitcher pretending to be a FEMALE, who has been dominating Girls' High School softball in Brooklyn Park, MN. Girls only hit 12% of his pitches, and he only allowed a SINGLE hit in a recent game. Even the announcers acknowledge his physical advantage, despite also pretending he is a girl. Rothenberger is a CHEATER. Keep men out of women's sports!

Holy “holistic,” Kamala. The vice president and Democratic presidential nominee was mocked Wednesday night over her rapid-fire deployment of the word “holistic” during a friendly interview with MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle. During an extended answer about housing, Harris used the SAT word — which refers to connections and complete systems rather than separate topics — three times in 23 seconds. “Some of the work is going to be through what we do in terms of giving benefits and assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars, and looking holistically at the connection between that and housing,” the 59-year-old rambled,...

There she goes again. Kamala Harris gave another interview that reveals why she hides from questions. She has nothing to say! In an 11-minute sit-down with a Pennsylvania ABC affiliate that has drawn over 5 million views on X, the vice president lapsed into recycled sound bites and snippets from past speeches. Reporter Brian Taff asked direct questions about policies, but never got direct answers. She filibustered with tales about her childhood, with the inane kicker being that “folks were very proud of their lawn.” Wow, so deep — if she’s mind-melding with Chauncey Gardiner from “Being There.” As for...

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Pskai has no issue with President Joe Biden's seeming disinterest in doing press conferences, saying he should entertain the ladies of The View instead. Biden has given just 89 total interviews and three press conferences in his first three years in office, a noted dip from former President Donald Trump's first three years, where he gave 300 interviews and 54 press conferences. The current president has chosen alternative media of late, appearing on The Howard Stern Show and the popular Smartless podcast. Psaki was appearing herself on the daily ABC gabfest and asked about...

Iconic television character Tony Soprano issued one of his most quotable lines in the hit show “The Sopranos” in 2001 when dealing with an unbalanced relative who had been living out West and had forgotten how things were done in North Jersey. “No, no, no. I don’t want any of that California bulls**t,” actor James Gandolfino’s Tony sternly told his sister Janice, reminding her where she was and how things were done there. Fans of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s women’s softball team offered a similar message to players of the University of California, Berkley – although they did...

For some apparently unknown reason, CNN’s Jake Tapper suddenly dropped his combative nature that he carries toward Republicans and shifted to an extremely demure disposition, as he interviews Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. This is the softest softball interview I have ever seen Jake Tapper deliver; and that history goes all the way back to his ABC days as a White House correspondent.It’s almost as if there’s an agenda here in the background for Jake Tapper. Remember, this is the guy who led the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy for over two years with his friends Carl Bernstein, Jim Sciutto and Manu Raju,...

CNN gives DeSantis softball questions while they root for the Biden regime to throw Trump in prison for 450+ years.This tells me that they don’t fear DeSantis. He is “approved” by the deep state. Major 🚩 Trump 2024. https://t.co/LIcwCXAlv9— Alex Bruesewitz 🇺🇸 (@alexbruesewitz) July 18, 2023 ------------------------------Excellent interview. Tapper was fair and DeSantis came across as thoughtful, strong and presidential. https://t.co/BYAQ8Ptw6J— Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) July 18, 2023

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) says she doesn’t let being a breast cancer survivor define her. But she is determined to use her platform to urge other young women to pay attention to their breast health. That’s why, when she made her battle public in 2009, she crossed party lines to launch the Congressional Women’s Softball Game (CWSG) with then-Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.). “We started the game in order to be able to raise awareness for our very young women … to pay attention to their breast health and know what’s normal for them so they know when something...

The Oklahoma softball team, recent winners of the Women’s College World Series (WCWS) championship, were asked about their play style and strategy on Tuesday, just days before the team won its third consecutive national victory. But some players spoke about their secret to maintaining joy and energy after a long season, all agreeing on one principle: faith. "The only way that you can have a joy that doesn’t fade away is from the Lord. And any other type of joy is actually happiness that comes from circumstances and outcomes," Oklahoma player Grace Lyons said in response to a question from...

The crazed ex-boyfriend of a popular Florida high school softball star repeatedly stabbed his former flame before cutting his own throat in a desperate suicide bid, cops said. The grisly, broad-daylight assault in posh Ponte Vedra Beach near Jacksonville was interrupted only after a courageous good Samaritan spotted the frenzied attack and intervened, according to police. Madison Schemitz, 17, a rising senior at Ponte Vedra High School, was eating at a restaurant Saturday with her mother, Jackie Roge, and friend Casey Estep when they spotted Spencer Pearson, a recent graduate of the school and a former football player. Estep told...

Lauren Bernett, a former standout at South Fayette High School in Pennsylvania and a current star for the James Madison softball team, has passed away the school said Tuesday. She was 20. No cause of death has been given.

ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos said Sunday on “This Week” that a new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows 54% of Americans do not believe President Joe Biden is mentally sharp during his interview with White House press secretary Jen Psaki. Stephanopoulos said, “The president is approaching his State of the Union in a pretty difficult political position right now, 37% approval rating, Democrats trailing badly in the midterm polling. A majority in our recent poll out this morning even question the president’s mental capacity. How is he going to turn that around on Tuesday night? And how much has his State...

Daily Mail - Assistant coach Katie Rietkovich Browder was allegedly romantically involved with a senior student-athlete on the team, who was dating another senior teammate at the time. The alleged inappropriate relationship was discovered in July when the girlfriend found a text sent from Browder pointing to a relationship between her partner and their assistant coach. She then printed out screenshots of the text exchange and and taped them to the coach's computer in her office.

Montana Fouts celebrated her 21st birthday to perfection Friday night. The Alabama pitcher threw just the fifth perfect game in Women’s College World Series history, blanking UCLA 6-0. It was also the first perfecto in the Series in . . . 21 years. The 21st out was tense for a second — UCLA’s Aaliyah Jordan hit a line drive to the warning track in left field that Alabama’s Alexis Mack hauled in. This was Fouts’ second win in as many nights in the Series. She tossed a two-hitter Thursday in beating Arizona 5-1. The Crimson Tide (52-7) are now a...

Reporters who were able to ask questions at Joe Biden's press conference Friday were torn apart by critics for failing to properly grill the Democratic presidential candidate. Biden, who took questions for the second time this week after going approximately a month without holding a single press conference, spent much of his time blasting President Trump over a report in The Atlantic magazine that he disparaged fallen World War I soldiers during a trip to France in 2018. However, those who were looking forward to hearing Biden respond to tough questions were left disappointed.
