The state is poised to pass legislation barring transgender athletes from competing on women's high school and college sports teams, outraging some and allowing others to breathe a sigh of relief, but the debate is far from over.

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves pledged on Thursday that he would sign the legislation which passed the state Senate last month and was approved by the House earlier this week. In a recent Facebook post, he mentioned his two daughters' dedication to team sports, suggesting they were being unfairly disadvantaged thanks to "the push for kids to adopt transgenderism."

The governor skewered Biden's recent executive order barring women's shelters, prisons, and other gender-defined institutions from ejecting men, arguing - as many others have - that pitting transgender athletes against biological females constitutes a "radical social experiment" and that young women athletes are being placed at an unfair disadvantage.

While the extremely vocal transgender lobby reliably goes to bat for young trans people who feel they're being discriminated against, advocates for female-born athletes who just want to play their sport without having to face much bigger, stronger athletes who have all the advantages of having gone through male puberty are few and far between. Worse, Biden's executive order deprives schools that continue to divide student sports by biological sex of public funding.

Emboldened by Trump and Netanyahu, Jewish settler terrorism is spiking

On the night of Jan. 28, Alaa Sawafteh was driving back with his family to Tubas from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank when his car was attacked by around 30 Israeli settlers.

The Israelis, from the nearby settlement of Beit El, smashed the car windows, opened the doors, and struck his three-year-old son's face with a rock, leaving him with a scar on his forehead. Sawafteh's family was supposed to be celebrating his son's birthday, but instead the family spent the night in the hospital.

Settler violence is a daily reality for Palestinians living in the West Bank, but in recent months the attacks have increased in severity and frequency. In 2020, the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OCHA) recorded 772 incidents of settler violence. So far, in 2021, the OCHA has reported 152 acts of settler violence.

The Israeli occupation police on Tuesday morning kidnaped an Islamic Awqaf employee and prevented once again renovation works inside the Aqsa Mosque's Dome of the Rock prayer building.

The police threatened to arrest the workers and banish them from the Mosque if they continued their work at the Islamic holy site. In recent months, the Israeli police claimed that such works needed Israeli permits.

Jordan, at the time, condemned such Israeli interference in the affairs of the Islamic holy site in Jerusalem. Its foreign affairs ministry described the police's practice as an infringement on the jurisdiction of the Jordan-run Administration of the Jerusalem Awqaf and Aqsa Mosque Affairs.

Sheryl Guy, County Clerk for Antrim County, MI
On November 23, 2020, attorney Matthew DePerno of DePerno Law filed a lawsuit on behalf of Central Lake resident William Bailey against Antrim County, MI. In addition to thousands of votes that were flipped from President Trump to Democrat candidate Joe Biden in Antrim County, MI, in the November election, Bailey was concerned about ballots that were re-run through the Dominion tabulator machine after a 262-262 tie on a vote a ballot initiative that would allow a marijuana establishment to be located within the Village of Central Lake.

Michigan's radical Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson blamed the incredible vote switch from President Trump to Biden, as well as additional unexplainable errors on Antrim County County Clerk Sheryl Guy, saying it was simply a "clerical" error.

Macron said Covid-19 jabs would be optional... so an EU vaccine passport should be a reason for France to leave the EU

It's unacceptable that the EU is pushing big brother authoritarianism on its member states via vaccine passports. French President Emmanuel Macron should stay true to his word and take a stand against this nanny statism.

After all, Macron couldn't have been more clear when he said in a national address last November that Covid-19 vaccines would not be mandatory. And that's exactly as it should be.

No one should have the right to dictate what substances you inject into your body - and especially not the state. The rights of the collective end where the rights of the individual begin, and that's precisely with one's own physical being. If someone is worried about catching Covid-19, then they have every right to get vaccinated in the interests of self-protection, but no one should have any ability to impose it on anyone else.

Staff at a Canadian Tire store wrestled to the floor and handcuffed a man who refused to wear a mask last week, highlighting again the apparent use of excessive force by non-governmental actors to impose mandatory mask mandates in Canada.

One video of the ordeal was posted on Twitter by a user named Dan Dicks. The clip shows the maskless man being apprehended by five Canadian Tire staff in Burnaby. They struggled to subdue the man for his apparent non-compliance with mask mandates inside the store.

"You're f--king pushing me ... Get your hands off of me, get your f--king hands off of me," the man can be heard shouting in the video, while store staff tried to subdue him.

Governor Gavin Newsom says Californians should wear two masks in public

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced new state health guidelines Wednesday that recommends Californians wear two cloth masks or a single filtered mask when in public. Newsom said, according to the Sacramento Bee:
"We are encouraging people basically to double down on mask wearing, particularly in light of all what I would argue is bad information coming from at least four states in this country. We will not be walking down their path, we're mindful of your health and our future,"
The governor noted the guidelines apply only to cloth masks and not masks with filters. His remarks come as several states have begun lifting COVID-19 restrictions, including Texas and Mississippi.

Newsom has denounced those efforts, condemning Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to lift mask mandate as "absolutely reckless" in a tweet on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the petition to recall Newsom has exceeded 1.9 million signatures, crossing the 1.5 million threshold to trigger a recall election.

Woops! California coronavirus vaccination site gives thousands wrong vaccine dosage

An estimated 4,300 in California individuals received a smaller coronavirus vaccine than they should have due to an issue with syringes.

According to KTVU, the Oakland Coliseum site received orange-capped syringes that left a third of the vaccine stuck on the bottom of the plastic container. The problem was eventually detected on Monday but individuals vaccinated before that point reportedly only received 0.2 mL of the Pfizer vaccine instead of the optimal 0.3 mL.

The California Office of Emergency Services, which helps run the site with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said high-level meetings were held on Tuesday afternoon after whistleblowers alerted the issue.

Cal OES spokesman Brian Ferguson reportedly said he didn't think anyone was formally underdosed and that there wasn't any need to contact the individuals who received the lower vaccine amount.

On Wednesday, he said authorities were told that the dosing fell within medical guidelines and protocols.

Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease expert, reportedly said the patients were "likely protected" and could make up the lost dosage in the second round of vaccine dosing.

The incident came as Gov. Gavin Newsom expressed optimism over the state's vaccination efforts.

Comment: The vaccine given was 'within guidelines and protocols'. Why would anyone require makeup dosage?

The Left's vision of equity will cripple a generation of minority students

Is there anything worse for black K-12 students who want to become engineers than teachers who think they can't meet the same standards as their classmates?

New York City's Department of Education recently decided to change admission into its Gifted and Talented program from a single test for students in kindergarten through third grade to a questionnaire for the pre-K teachers of applicants and a lottery system. This change — widely criticized by parents — is a perfect example of the pitfalls of the current push for equity in education.

I have no issue debating the merits of the previous admissions process. My problem is that the entire justification for replacing the previous process was that black and Hispanic students make up about one-quarter of students in the program despite being 70 percent of students citywide.

City leaders don't claim minority students are being kept out of gifted programs because of their race. If they did, I would support steps to address the discrimination, because the success of the program is personal for me.

Almost all of the students in my elementary school's gifted program were black. We had teachers who cared about us, pushed us to strive for excellence, and helped each of us maximize our potential. This is the type of equity I believe in.

Vice President Kamala Harris's definition of equity reflects the dominant position on the left: in a truly equitable world, all people would have the resources they need to succeed and we would all end up in the same place. The left claims to believe distributing resources according to need is the means to equity, but in reality, they see the uniformity of outcomes as the measure of equity.

A man was arrested and charged this week with allegedly defacing "America's Stonehenge," an archaeological site and popular tourist attraction in Salem, N.H., by carving in a QAnon hashtag as well as his own name.

The Associated Press reported that 51-year-old Mark Russo was arrested in New Jersey on Monday and charged Tuesday in New Hampshire with one count of felony criminal mischief. He pleaded not guilty.

Police say Russo carved "WWG1WGA," an acronym used to identify QAnon supporters, as well as "IAMMARK," matching a Twitter account, into the rock at the site in September 2019. He also allegedly erected a tall wooden cross, on which sketches and various drawings were found.

Much of the damage was done to a large stone table thought to have once been a sacrificial site, the property owners said on Facebook.

Comment: A facebook post described the incident:

During the night on Saturday, September 28th, a major feature of our site was defaced. A power tool was used to carve into the 9,000-lb grooved table. We have been working closely with the Salem Police Department this last week. If anyone has any information on this crime, or if you are a neighbor with security footage, we urge you to call the Salem PD at (603) 893-1911. We have received a huge outpouring of support from our friends and neighbors, and we feel truly blessed to be a part such an incredible community. Our business continues to operate as normal.
Thank you,
