Maine’s Laurel Libby: ‘I Have Never Apologized’

"The Democrats caved because they know that they are losing."
Maine state Rep. Laurel Libby (R) on Wednesday finally had her voice restored after state Democrats censured the Republican for a post calling out the state’s unpopular transgender sports policy.

Libby announced on X that state Democrats passed a House resolution to fully restore her voting and speaking rights, which were first stripped in February.
“VICTORY!! Democrats CAVE and give my Voice AND Vote back,” she said. “My constituent’s right to representation and my right to free speech should never have been stripped.”
Notably, Libby was told she would have to apologize to Democrats for her Facebook post drawing attention to Maine’s controversial transgender policies if she wanted her voting and speech rights back.
“I have NEVER apologized and NEVER WILL for speaking up for girls’ sports,” Libby said.


Libby filed a lawsuit over the censure, and last month she scored a legal win at the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled to give the Republican back her voting rights as the lawsuit plays out.
“The Democrats caved because they know that they are losing, they are losing in the court of public opinion, they are losing in the literal court, and they have to save face,” Libby said in a video post.
As highlighted by Libby, constituents in Maine — though a liberal state — side with Republicans and President Donald Trump on transgender sports issues: they want to protect female spaces and sports and keep trans-identifying males out.
“This is not over. This all began because I spoke up on behalf of Maine women and girls, who are being discriminated against,” Libby continued. “Their rights have not been assured. This is a Democrat maneuver to try to get themselves out of trouble — but they are still in trouble.”
In Maine, Democrat Gov. Janet Mills is still standing by her position to allow males in girls sports. The Trump administration has sued the state’s Department of Education and frozen federal dollars over that decision.

Janet Mills Booed Off the Stage

(Anybody who hunts big game understands what a HUGE deal it is to be one of the hunters picked in the lottery to be able to hunt a moose each year. People wait years and years to be picked sometimes. So when prospective moose hunters are distracted enough to boo the speaker off the stage, you know it's a HUGE issue.)

Pushback has begun against Democrats ramming LGBTism down the public’s throat. Watch Maine Governor Janet Mills receive the boos she so richly deserves:

https://x.com/laurel_libby/status/1936523484739383527

That’s the reception she gets in her hometown:
Mills was in her hometown of Farmington on Saturday to announce the winners of Maine’s annual moose hunt permit lottery…
The booing began as Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Commissioner Judy Camuso introduced the Democratic governor to the podium to start reading off names of the more than 4,000 hunters who will have the chance to hunt moose during the 2025 season that begins in September.
The audience was less focused on moose hunting than on her policy of subjecting girls to injury and ruining their sports.
“We have daughters!” objected a constituent. When Mills retorted that she has five daughters (actually stepdaughters), she was challenged to stand up for them. But that would mean standing up to the Alphabet People, who perch triumphantly at the apex of the Cultural Marxist pyramid of phony oppression and therefore must not be challenged.

Gaines Vs Biles

I would imagine that this will be the last post on this feud unless Biles says something more stupid than she has already. In all the posting I did about the feud, I never posted the post that caused Biles to lose her mind. It was a Gaines post about the Class 4A Softball State Championship Game, which was 'won' by the Champlin Park Rebels. The star player for the Rebels is their pitcher who is a MALE. That lead to this twitter post by Riley Gaines, a huge advocate for getting and keeping boys and men out of female sports and any other sex specific spaces.

You can look back to see the other posts in regard to this in my blog and this is all over the internet. I also included a tweet by Rep. Nancy Mace who is also a huge advocate for getting men out of women's spaces and sports.

I Called Out Biles For Her Bitch Potential

Back when I watched her competing in the Olympics several years ago. And now she’s proved me right.

Simone Biles wrecked online for attacking Riley Gaines’ appearance to boost ‘trans’ athletes. Biles, who is ironically a critic of "body shaming," suggested Gaines is the size of a man.
Olympic gymnast Simone Biles has been the subject of much criticism online after she attacked women’s rights advocate Riley Gaines for her physical appearance, apparently to show her support for transgender-identifying male athletes in female sports and spaces.
As highlighted by The Daily Wire, Biles suggested Gaines is the size of a man while attempting to boost “trans” athletes, which was called out for being extremely tone deaf and ironic. Notably, Biles is an outspoken critic of “body shaming.” Further, the gymnast’s comment could be interpreted by LGBT supporters as “transphobic,” since it recognizes general physical differences between males and females, which also undercuts Biles’ support in the first place.


Commentators, athletes, and women’s advocates rushed to Gaines’ defense online.
McNabb was seriously injured by a male player on an opposing high school volleyball team who spiked the ball in her face. She’s since become an advocate for girls and women’s sports and spaces.


Olivia Krolczyk, a women’s rights advocate, highlighted Biles fighting against nasty comments about her own body.

Conservative commentator Guy Benson struck a similar note, posting about Biles being attacked for her body and coming out against the “toxic culture of trolling.”


Journalist Megyn Kelly said she stands with Gaines and is “ashamed of Simone Biles.”


Others noted Biles’ fight against a male predator, while supporting males in female spaces, like locker rooms.

Education Department Celebrates ‘Title IX Month,’ Ditches Pride Month

The news bears a stark contrast to the June celebrations of President Joe Biden's Education Department.
WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump’s Education Department has declared June “Title IX Month” in recognition of the 53rd anniversary of the historic legislation’s passage, The Daily Wire has learned.
The department will spend June highlighting the Trump administration’s actions taken to protect female sports and spaces, as well as reversing the weaponization of Title IX that took place during the previous administration. The festivities offer a stark contrast to the Biden Education Department’s “Pride Month” celebrations, which focused on gender ideology, critical race theory, and DEI.


Title IX was meant to protect WOMEN—let’s keep it that way. For 53 years, Title IX has stood for fairness, safety, and opportunity based on biological sex—not ideology. This June, as the @usedgov marks Title IX Month, let’s remember what it was really about:
Protecting women’s sports
Defending girls’ spaces
Upholding equal opportunity
We stand for truth, biology, and real equality.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Trump have been very open about their plan to hand over control of children’s education to both states and parents and ultimately eliminate the Department of Education.

"Anything Men Can Do, Women Can Do Better"

BULLSHIT !!

We used to hear this shit all the time and it was bullshit then and today, fake women (men) are proving it. There are some things that women were designed and made perfectly to do. There are some things that men were designed and made perfectly to do. The two sexes are NOT interchangeable. If you're going to have competition, it needs to be XX vs XX and XY vs XY.

Two biological men just won the Ultimate Pool Women's Pro Series Event. Men are winning every Women's Sport. 

Obviously MEN can do it better, even if they wear high heels and panties. (This rant was mean to be sarcasm ... kinda. I got really tired of hearing the "Anything men can do ..." bullshit spiel.)

This WILL NOT STOP until real women stand up and stop it. 

Women's Pool Competition Ends With (Trans-On-Trans) Man-On-Man Final


After two men beat all the women … and NO, this is not ‘The Babylon Bee’ or ‘The Onion.’
Two trans-identifying individuals — men who identify as women — faced off against each other in a women’s pool championship match over the weekend.
Harriet Haynes and Lucy Smith made it to the final showdown for the championship title at the Ultimate Pool Women’s Pro Series Event 2 on Sunday in Wigan in the United Kingdom. Haynes went on to defeat Smith 8-6. Each beat out four female opponents to secure their spots in the finals.
Former U.S. college swimmer Riley Gaines, who rose to national prominence by taking a stand against men infiltrating women’s sports, reacted to the story by saying, “A real life South Park episode.”

We Need To Deliver A Killing Blow To This Perversion

Stephanie Turner took a knee in protest after standing on the piste before her bout against Redmond Sullivan, a biological male pretending to be a female because he couldn’t win as a male, at the University of Maryland. She was shown a black card and informed she would not be allowed to continue in the women's foil tournament.
International Fencing Federation (FIE) rules state a fencer is not permitted to refuse to fence another properly entered fencer for any reason. USA Fencing, which enacted its transgender and non-binary policy in 2023, said: "The policy is based on the principle that everyone should have the ability to participate in sports and was based upon the research available of the day."
It added: "USA Fencing will always err on the side of inclusion, and we're committed to amending the policy as more relevant evidence-based research emerges, or as policy changes take effect in the wider Olympic and Paralympic movement."

Stephanie Turner Stands Up For Women’s Sports By Kneeling Out

 

 https://x.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1907530614498029749

Women's fencer opens up on refusing to face transgender opponent, accepting punishment and backlash.
Turner says the issue has turned her from a lifelong Democrat to a conservative Republican.
Ahead of a bout at the Cherry Blossom Open in Maryland over the weekend, Turner, 31, made the decision not to compete against trans athlete (MALE) Redmond Sullivan. And Turner also wanted to make sure her refusal was caught on video for the world to see.
Turner came to the decision the night before the event when she checked the competition pools and saw that she would be competing against Sullivan, (a male) whom she had read about in an article last year.
"I saw that I was going to be in a pool with Redmond, and from there I said, ‘OK, let’s do it. I'm going to take the knee,'" Turner told Fox News Digital.
Turner went through all her warm-ups that day and went on to fence in four bouts before her matchup with the trans athlete (MALE). When it came, she was "nervous and shaky," but was sure about her decision.
"I knew what I had to do because USA Fencing had not been listening to women's objections regarding [its gender eligibility policy]," Turner said.
"I took a knee immediately at that point. Redmond was under the impression that I was going to start fencing. So when I took the knee, I looked at the ref and I said, ‘I’m sorry, I cannot do this. I am a woman, and this is a man, and this is a women's tournament. And I will not fence this individual.'
"Redmond didn't hear me, and he comes up to me, and he thinks that I may be hurt, or he doesn't understand what's happening. He asks, ‘Are you OK?’ And I said, ‘I’m sorry. I have much love and respect for you, but I will not fence you."
And right after that, Turner's punishment by USA Fencing commenced.
"Redmond says to me, ‘Well you know, there is a member on the board of directors here who supports me, and there is a policy that acknowledges me as a woman, so I am allowed to fence, and you will get blackcarded,’ and I said, 'I know," Turner said.
Minutes later, the referees dealt Turner a black card, which represents the most severe penalty, leading to expulsion from the tournament or event for serious rule infractions or unsportsmanlike behavior.
Turner said she was then escorted to the bout committee where she had to explain what she did. She says the members then handed her a copy of the association's transgender policy and made her sign a document acknowledging the black card. Turner said she signed the document under objection.
Then, Turner was escorted out of the venue, she said.

Trump Responds To Maine’s Liberal Governor Who Says She Will Defy His EO

A far-left Democrat governor discovered that President Trump is not someone you ever want to cross after getting absolutely embarrassed during an event with the National Governors Association (NGA) on Friday at the White House.
As Jim Hoft reported earlier this month, Trump signed a landmark executive order which ensured that biological men could not compete in women’s sports.
The executive order directs the Department of Education to enforce Title IX based on biological sex, threatening to withhold federal funding from educational institutions that allow transgender women to compete in women’s sports. In the event that the Department of Education is dismantled, other agencies will take over.
Following Trump’s executive order, several Democrat governors vowed to ignore Trump and continue to allow men to steal glory from female athletes. Maine’s Janet Mills then joined the list earlier today.
“The State of Maine will not be intimidated by the president’s threats,” she wrote in a statement.
“If the president attempts to unilaterally deprive Maine school children of the benefit of federal funding, my administration and the attorney general will take all appropriate and necessary legal action to restore that funding and the academic opportunity it provides,” Mills added.
Upon learning this, Trump decided to call Mills out to her face during the NGA event and school her on the basics of constitutional law.
“Is the governor of Maine here?” Trump asks. After Mills acknowledged her presence, Trump asked her if she would defy his executive order.
“I am complying with state and federal laws,” Mills retorted.
“Well, we are the federal law,” Trump replied. “You better do it. “You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t.”
“By the way…your (state’s) population doesn’t want men playing in women’s sports. So you better comply because otherwise, you’re not getting any federal funding,” he added.
Mills responded to Trump’s statement by telling him she would see him in court. Trump then hammered her one last time.
“Good. That should be a real easy (case) one,” he stated. “And enjoy your life after governor because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”

This Piece Of Shit CANNOT Tell The Truth

He KNOWS he's lying and still spews this filth. Americans know who the perverts are.

https://x.com/MediasLies/status/1879895659630690426

Dollar Store Obamas’ claim misrepresents the legislation. Protecting women’s sports is about fairness, not invasive inspections or fearmongering.
The method of determining sex is gathered from a buccal (pronounced “buckle”) cheek smear. This is a painless removal of a sample of cells from inside the mouth with basically an oversized Q-Tip.
Spreading misinformation only distracts from the real issue: ensuring a level playing field. And also protecting girls and women private spaces.

What do the Democrats find so offensive with standing up for women’s rights in sports? Why do Democrats want naked men in girls dressings and showers?

After Public Blowback, Biden Finally Withdraws Insane Title IX Rule About Gender In Schools

The docket cited public comment and pending lawsuits for the withdrawal.
The Biden-Harris administration on Friday officially withdrew a proposed Title IX rule that would have forced all publicly-funded schools to largely allow males to participate in female sports if the athletes “identify” as female.
The administration admitted that the decision to withdraw was because of public backlash, and the numerous lawsuits that were sparked from the gender rule-change.
“In light of the comments received and those various pending court cases, the Department has determined not to regulate on this issue at this time,” Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a five-page docket published Friday.
According to Cardona, the Department of Education received more than 150,000 public comments about the proposal, National Review noted. “Commenters offered a broad spectrum of opinions,” the docket said, adding, “there are multiple pending lawsuits related to the application of Title IX in the context of gender identity.”
The proposed change would have barred schools and colleges from outright banning males from girls’ athletics, largely permitting males who identity as females to compete. There was, though, a vague loophole offered for schools to ban some male athletes if they could prove it affected safety and fairness and served “important educational objectives.”

‘Tonight Was My Revenge’: Female Boxer Wins Title After Olympics Gender Controversy

Female boxer Angela Carini celebrated taking home the 2024 Italian women’s title for boxing after being forced to fight in the 2024 Paris Olympics against a competitor with a sex development condition who had failed previous gender tests with the International Boxing Association (IBA).
The victory for Carini came months after she had to endure being beaten up in the ring by Imane Khelif, an Olympic boxer from Algeria, who had failed past gender tests — per the IBA — and was later allegedly proven to be a biological male, according to a French journalist who obtained a medical report.
After winning the title, the female boxer said, “Tonight was my revenge,” a Telegraph reporter wrote on X. “Some 2024 for Angela Carini. She endured anguish and gross unfairness at the Paris Olympics, forced to withdraw after 46 seconds against an opponent who had failed two sex tests. Four months on, she has just won the Italian title…”

After Carini quit her match against Khelif — who had been allowed to fight in the female boxing category despite the controversy — the Algerian boxer went on to get the gold in the women’s welterweight final boxing match, something many criticized, as The Daily Wire has previously reported.
Megyn Kelly, host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast, blasted the move by writing, in all caps, about how unfair it was that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded Khelif the gold medal in a women’s event.

Bill Maher Vs Neil deGrasse Tyson - The Headline Should Read

Bill Maher Has A Hard Time Accepting The Fact That Neil deGrasse Tyson, Who Is, In Reality, An Arrogant Bitch, Who Pretends To Be More Than An Astrophysicist, Can’t Understand Science In Regard To Biology.
Actual headline:
Bill Maher Loses It When Lib Scientist Refuses to Admit Men Have Advantage Over Women in Sports.


(I personally cannot stand NDT. He pretends to be an expert in things he has no educational background in and he acts like an asshole when he is called out on his ignorance of the subject matter.)

"Real Time" host Bill Maher lost his cool during an exchange with liberal scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson when the latter couldn't bring himself to admit that, scientifically speaking, men have an advantage over women in sports.
Maher and the famed astrophysicist engaged in a conversation regarding Laura Helmuth, the chief editor of Scientific American magazine. Helmuth was forced to resign after posting unhinged comments about supporters of President-elect Donald Trump on the liberal social media wasteland known as Bluesky.
The comments were less what you would expect from an actual scientific American and more what one would see out of your typical quintuple-vaccinated owner of 14 cats.
Helmuth referred to Trump's supporters as "the meanest, dumbest, most bigoted" individuals while lamenting that her generation is "so full of f**king fascists."
But that wasn't Maher's main problem. No, the more significant issue to him was an article in the magazine that stated, "inequity between male and female athletes" is "a result, not of inherent biological differences between the sexes, but of biases in how they are treated in sports."
"That's nuts," Maher observed, adding that such ridiculous notions are "why the Democrats lost the election."
Tyson laughed off the suggestion, accusing Maher of finding a reason the resistance party got shellacked in the elections "every 20 minutes."
“First of all, you don’t watch this show, so you don’t know — It’s okay, but you talk as if you do, and you f**king don’t. That’s okay, just don’t bulls**t me," Maher fired back. "That’s the one thing people can never do on this show is bulls**t me."
The comedian-turned-political pundit proceeded to urge Tyson to "engage with the idea here."
"What I’m asking is Scientific American is saying basically that the reason why an NBA — WNBA team — can’t beat the Lakers is because of societal bias.”

https://x.com/Rusty_Weiss/status/1860683775547408422?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1860683775547408422%7Ctwgr%5E18eb40bb592ca7215fa9bbf99fcc20c2c85be8b6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Frusty-weiss%2F2024%2F11%2F24%2Fwatch-bill-maher-loses-it-when-lib-scientist-refuses-to-admit-men-have-advantage-over-women-in-sports-n2182415

“Why can’t you just say this is not scientific and Scientific American should do better?!” an exasperated Maher pressed.
Tyson pivoted, noting that Helmuth was out of a job. But Maher reminded him that her rant wasn't what he was taking exception to — it was the magazine's non-scientific bent on something so obvious to one's own eyes.
“Well, I’m going to file you under ‘part of the problem,'" Maher quipped, prompting gasps and laughter from the crowd.
If you thought the comedian and the astrophysicist set off fireworks comparable to a supernova during that exchange, you should have seen them continue to argue during the show’s "Overtime" segment.
Tyson prodded Maher by discussing vaccines, which he claims the medical field is 99 percent unanimous on. That discussion broke down when the scientist asserted he wasn't quite sure if Maher believed "science matters."
“Sometimes you don’t sound that way. That’s what worries me!” he said.
Maher cut him down immediately, calling back to the "men in sports" debate: "Actually, you’re the guy who doesn’t understand why the WNBA team can’t beat the Lakers, so I don’t know, you’re supposed to be the scientist, and you couldn’t even admit that!"
"This is not your field; you’re not a doctor.”
It's unclear if Tyson was able to identify the truck that just ran him over. Maher isn't always right, but when it comes to extreme leftists pushing a woke, anti-women agenda, he definitely gets it.
Scientific American, by contrast, does not.
As our colleague Jennifer Oliver O'Connell wrote in 2021, Scientific American teamed up with Dr. Anthony Fauci to sow the seeds of doubt during the pandemic and put the final "nails in the coffin of Science."
She points out that this was simply a continuation of "increasingly leftist and non-scientific bent over the last few decades."
All of that came to a head when, just weeks before the presidential election, Scientific American claimed without evidence that Kamala Harris would bring a "lifelong familiarity with Science" to the White House.
The entire premise was that because Harris' mother was a scientist, she, too, must be compelled by science.

Maher ended the exchange with Tyson by reminding him again that he is not a doctor and joking, "When I have a goiter on Uranus, I’ll call you."
It was a joke meant to defuse the situation, but the tension was rather obvious.

Men Pretending To Be Women To Participate In Women’s Sports IS WRONG Even If Only One Position, One Event, One Scholarship, One Award, Or One Medal Is Stolen

The HUGE number of medals female athletes have lost to trans opponents allowed to compete against them is revealed in UN report highlighting women's 'loss of fair opportunity'
A report from the United Nations has revealed the huge number of medals female athletes have lost to trans opponents.
The study - titled 'Violence against women and girls in sports' - stated that 'policies implemented by international federations and national governing bodies' had allowed athletes born male to compete in women's sporting categories.
It goes on to argue that athletes born male had gender specific attributes, such as higher strength, which were advantageous in certain sports and resulted in the 'loss of fair opportunity' for biologically female competitors.
Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, presented the findings of her report to the UN General Assembly earlier this month.
And this included the incredibly high number of biologically female athletes who had lost medals to transgender athletes.
It revealed that over 600 female athletes had lost over 890 medals across 29 sports.


The paper didn't elaborate on at what sporting events the medals were won, or over what time frame.
Transgender athletes who have won gold medals in sporting events include Canadian cyclist Veronica Ivy became the first transgender cycling champion when she won gold at the UCI Women's Masters Track Cycling World Championships.
Another transgender athlete is the American swimmer Lia Thomas who was the first transgender athlete to win the highest US national college title when she swam for the University of Pennsylvania in 2022.
Ms Alsalem, a civil servant from Jordan, goes on to say that while some sports federations mandate testosterone suppression for athletes in order to let them compete. However, she claims that only might this approach harm the health of the athletes, they also retain  a number of 'performance advantages' in certain sports.
The New York Post reported that Ms Alsalem also called on the UN to provide stronger protections for women and girls in sport.
Aside from the transgender issues, Ms Alsalem also argued that women face other obstacles in sport. This includes social stereotypes, pervasive sexism and limited access to training facilities.
She said: 'Women and girls already have many odds stacked against them that impede their equal and effective participation in sports.
'In addition, their ability to play sport in conditions of safety, dignity and fairness has been further eroded by the intrusion of males who identify as female in female-only sports and related spaces.'
During the Paris Olympics, a major gender eligibility row engulfed the woman's boxing surrounding Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.
Ms Khelif, who is biologically female and does not identify as transgender, went on to win a gold medal in women's boxing but her road to the podium was a bumpy one filled with controversies.
Before the olympics, she failed two two gender eligibility tests administered by the International Boxing Association (IBA). However, olympic officials - which no longer recognize the IBA -  dismissed these as 'illegitimate' and defended her participation.
This did not prevent a row from breaking out over Ms Khelif participation, with celebrities,such as JK Rowling, and fellow female boxers voicing their opposition to her continued inclusion in the tournament.
When she won the gold medal - beating China's Yang Liu - she said: 'I am fully qualified to take part in this competition. I’m a woman like any other woman. I was born a woman, I lived a woman, I competed as a woman, there’s no doubt about that.'
A handful of transgender men and women took part in the Paris olympics this summer but some such as New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard, who was the first openly transgender athlete to compete in the Olympics when she debuted at Tokyo 2020, did not compete this year.
