A transgender-identifying boy took first place in women’s pole vaulting at Maine’s Class B state championship on Monday, days after the state declared it would not enforce President Trump’s executive order banning males from female sports at public schools. The victory by a boy in the female event helped Greely High School girls’ track and field team clinch the championship by one point. The same student, who now goes by a girl’s name, participated under a different name as a boy just years earlier, prompting outrage from a local lawmaker who wants the administration to investigate. Maine state lawmaker Lauren...

In early February, Democrats elected online activist David Hogg as the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Only days after the election, some Democrat strategists already began questioning elevating Hogg to a prominent role. In just his first two weeks, Hogg has become embroiled in controversy after allegations that he is using the DNC platform to solicit donations for his own PAC. Now, Hogg is being slammed for his tone-deaf criticism of President Trump’s weekend appearance at the Daytona 500. On Sunday, President Trump and Air Force One did a flyover above the race track. He then addressed...

Former Fox Sports anchor and reporter Julie Stewart-Binks has accused one of her ex-bosses at the network of sexually assaulting her on a balcony outside his Marina del Rey hotel room in 2016. A lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleges that FS1 executive producer of content Charlie Dixon held Stewart-Binks against a wall, “forcefully” pressed his body against hers and “tried to force his tongue into her mouth” after the two originally got together to discuss plans for an upcoming show. Stewart-Binks eventually slipped away from Dixon, the lawsuit states, but soon after the incident her...

On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about the NFL playoffs.Marlow said, “You guys know the NFL just rigs it for the Chiefs, right? Because they need to have Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl. … [T]hat does seem real, right? … I don’t follow sportsball that close. I haven’t watched any football this year, I don’t think. … I’ve seen some of the calls.”

Roki Sasaki, the prized Japanese pitching prospect who has had scouts drooling over his potential since high school, has chosen the Los Angeles Dodgers as his major league team, he announced on Instagram on Friday. Sasaki called this "a very difficult decision, but I will do my best to make it the right decision when I look back after my baseball career." The Dodgers, long viewed as the favorites for Sasaki, had recently emerged as one of three finalists for the 23-year-old right-hander, along with the Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres. On Friday morning, the Padres began agreeing...

Keep Title IX Out of College-Sports Revenue SharingLast year, the Boston College Law Review (BCLR) published an article on the “equity implications” of paying college athletes, a topic made pressing by Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s NCAA v. Alston concurrence and the related settlement of House v. NCAA. As a review, Kavanaugh joined in full the Court’s...

Wednesday evening Biden walked away without taking any questions about the NOLA terror attack after his remarks at Camp David. Biden had the same heartless attitude on Thursday. “The Sugar Bowl is back on. Kick off is going to take off very shortly. If I don’t get this damn thing done we’re gonna be in real trouble,” Biden said as he checked his watch. WATCH:

A terrorist killed at least 15 people in an attack early Wednesday morning in New Orleans, and among those killed was a former football player for Princeton: Tiger Bech. A New Orleans native, Bech suited up for the Tigers and was named to the All-Ivy League team as a kick returner. He played for Princeton from 2016-2018, and in his three seasons with the program, he tallied 825 receiving yards and three touchdowns off 53 passes. Bech graduated from Princeton in 2021 and pursued a career in finance, ultimately landing a gig in New York City as a stockbroker. He...

Results reported for Texas public schools bolster the case for privatization and universal education savings accounts to fund students directly. A study by Vance Ginn, an economist who runs the Texas-based Vance Ginn Economic Consulting firm, found that taxpayers pay over $15,000 per pupil per year for maintenance & operations and over $27,000 for debt service. Meanwhile, the average tuition for private schools is $11,000 per pupil. State Rep. Glenn Rogers (R-Graford) called the comparison "unfair to the public schools. Private schools can concentrate on education to the exclusion of other concerns. One of the big benefits that public schools...

Open Letter To Mark Williams: For Heritage And Freedom Dear Mark, you and your dad now stand together in a grassroots arts display at a national heritage site in the fourth biggest country in the world, the Republic Of Indonesia. The site, Air Kaca, is sacred to the memory of General Douglas MacArthur, sometimes known as The Saviour Of Australia. I find it amazing, Mark, that your dad achieved everything he achieved in football, after starting his senior career at the age of 24, because for five years he sacrificed playing sport to join the fight against fascism and imperialism...

Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s first international superstar, has taken a sharp turn down the path of woke politics, leaving many of her fans disheartened. Caitlin Clark’s meteoric rise—bolstered by her jaw-dropping, record-setting college career and stellar rookie season in the WNBA—seemed to offer a much-needed respite from the league’s ongoing struggles with dwindling viewership and ideological conformity. But instead of sticking to what made her a star, Clark appears to be prioritizing progressive virtue-signaling over her unique identity, alienating fans who admired her for standing tall amidst the leftist noise in professional sports. In her Time interview after being named...

The San José State University (SJSU) women’s volleyball team made international news this season, with coverage by the BBC, the Telegraph, Quillette, the New York Times, CNN, and ESPN. The reason for all this interest is that SJSU had a biological male on the team. This offense against athletic fairness was not received kindly by many involved. Brooke Slusser (a team co-captain), assistant coach Melissa Batie-Smoose, two former players, and eight players from teams that forfeited games against SJSU have all filed suit. Teams from Boise State University, Southern Utah University, Utah State University, the University of Wyoming, and the...

Shohei Ohtani was named the National League's Most Valuable Player unanimously on Thursday, capping the first 50/50 season in baseball history by becoming the first full-time designated hitter to ever win MVP honors. Ohtani joined Aaron Judge, who was named American League MVP unanimously moments earlier on MLB Network's broadcast. The announcement came three weeks after Ohtani's Los Angeles Dodgers defeated Judge's New York Yankees in the World Series and two years after Judge's record-breaking 2022 season was enough to edge Ohtani's two-way prowess for the AL MVP.

A couple of days ago we had a thread about the use of police force used on spectators at the Florida/Georgia Football played in Jacksonville last Saturday. Today, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office released multiple videos of two incidents that took place, both incidents the cops striking citizens with closed fists. These videos with audio show multiple angles of the incidents. The video is an hour long and can be fast forwarded to show what happened leading up to the incidents where the cops escalated the use of force. In the end the cops were cleared of improper use of force.
