82-Year-Old Woman Threatens YMCA with Legal Action After Ban for Confronting Trans ‘Woman’ Leering at Girls.

An 82-year-old woman from Port Townsend, Washington, is threatening her local YMCA with a lawsuit after it banned her from confronting a transgender ‘woman’ in the women’s locker room. Julie Jaman says she approached the individual, later identified as ‘Clementine’ Adams, after noticing his attention directed towards young girls. Her ensuing query about Adams’s biological sex resulted in accusations of discrimination.

“I was showering in the women’s dressing room when I saw a man wearing a woman’s swimsuit watching little girls undress. I was obligated to speak up and ask for help,” Jaman said. “Since that moment, I have suffered mob-like attacks, public humiliation, and widespread mendacious reporting,” she continued.

The Center for American Liberty, representing Jaman, has called for an exhaustive investigation. The group’s CEO, Harmeet Dhillon, insists the YMCA and the city are tarnishing Jaman’s reputation through a devious smear campaign, causing significant emotional distress.

Jaman visited the police station to report the incident. Instead, she allegedly became the subject of an investigation based on reports from the YMCA.

The Center for American Liberty emphasizes that the primary concern should be the potential risk to minors. The organization has urged the city and YMCA to rescind Jaman’s ban, apologize, and provide financial compensation or else risk legal action. Dhillon’s letter warns that unwavering stances on transgender ‘rights’ should not overlook probable dangers posed to children in private spaces.

Jaman’s ordeal highlights the increasing concerns about the risks posed to child safety by the transgender movement.

NY Dem Wants To Repeal 100-Year-Old Adultery Law.

New York Assemblyman Charles Levine (D) is looking to repeal an over-100-year-old New York law that classifies adultery as a misdemeanor. The law, which was enacted in 1907, stipulates that cheating on one’s spouse may result in up to three months imprisonment. Despite the law technically still being on the books, it has rarely been enforced in the Empire State.

“It just makes no sense whatsoever, and we’ve come a long way since intimate relationships between consenting adults are considered immoral,” the Democrat lawmaker said regarding his efforts. He continued: “It’s a joke. This law was someone’s expression of moral outrage.”

“The state has no business regulating consensual sexual behavior between adults,” Levine added.

The legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Levine, A.4714, would repeal the misdemeanor charge for adultery — defined as engaging in sexual intercourse when either of the parties is married to another person. Levine’s legislation cleared the State Assembly’s Codes Committee in March, later being adopted by the full chamber by a 137 to 10 vote. The legislation must pass through New York’s state Senate before heading to Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul to be signed into law.

Records indicate at least 12 individuals have been charged under New York’s adultery law since its inception in 1907. Five of those arrested were convicted, each serving a three-month-long prison term. The last known charge was filed in 2010. It was later withdrawn.

Despite a 1960s initiative to repeal the legislation, the law remained intact, mainly due to concerns that its removal might be misconstrued as a state-sanctioned endorsement of infidelity. Several other states have similar laws which classify adultery as a misdemeanor. Meanwhile, in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Michigan, adultery is legally considered a felony.

STUDY: SJWs More ‘Anxious, Depressed, and Unhappy’ Than Conservatives.

A study led by the University of Turku, Finland, shows people who subscribe to “woke” ideology and the cause of “social justice” are more likely than conservatives to be anxious, depressed, or both.

Researchers used the Critical Social Justice Attitudes Scale (CSJAS) to evaluate nearly 900 people based on their agreement or disagreement with certain culturally charged statements.

These included, “If white people have on average a higher level of income than black people, it is because of racism,” “University reading lists should include fewer white or European authors,” and “trans women who compete with women in sports are not helping women’s rights.”

Higher scores on CSJAS correlated with strong woke beliefs, but it turned out that, overall, a “lower level of mental well-being was mostly associated with being on the political left and not specifically with having a high CSJAS score.”

Women were found to be more susceptible to woke ideology than men. People who identified as “non-binary,” supporters of leftist political parties, and female students studying humanities, education, or social sciences were also found to be disproportionately “woke.”

MeidasTouch Author Blasts America’s Founders as ‘White Supremacist Rapist Pedophiles’.

MeidasTouch, the White House-linked group behind the “bloodbath” hoax, employs a contributor who believes America’s Founders were all white supremacists, rapists, and pedophiles.

Run by the Meiselas brothers, MeidasTouch gives ‘Coach D’ pride of place on its contributors page alongside editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski. ‘Coach D’ made his comments about America’s Founders on social media in response to ACT for America chairwoman Brigitte Gabriel.

“If President Trump were alive during the Revolutionary War, I have no doubt he would have been one of the first signers of the Constitution,” Gabriel wrote.

“Yes,” the Meiselas lackey agreed. “He absolutely would’ve been a white supremacist, rapist and pedophile like the other signers.”

‘Coach D’ also said seeing the American flag on trucks “gives me a bad feeling.”  He also said he was not surprised Iowans voted for Trump due to their “overt white supremacy.”

He also regularly trashes black people who lean right. He suggested Candace Owens “wakes up daily wishing she were white.” He also described comedian Terrence Williams as “a proud agent of white supremacy” who “hates being black.”

“If there were a way to have a surgery to become white, Terrance would be fighting Candace Owens to be first in line,” he said.

Planet Fitness Gets ‘Bud Light Treatment’. Here’s Why…

Planet Fitness has seen a $400 million plunge in its market value. The popular fitness center franchiser has faced media, and now financial blowback, for canceling a woman’s membership after she complained about a biological male shaving in the women’s locker room at an Alaska gym location. Patricia Silva, the now former gym member, shared a photo of the man online as he groomed himself in the locker room.

According to Silva, she wasn’t the only individual present in the women’s locker room with the biological male. She says a female minor – approximately 12 years old – was also present. Silva recounted the young girl sitting in the corner of the locker room “in a towel, kind of freaked out that there’s a man shaving in her locker room.” Planet Fitness dismissed her concerns regarding the incident, according to Silva.

After Silva posted the photo of the man on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, Planet Fitness revoked her membership. “The member who posted on social media violated our mobile device policy that prohibits taking photos of individuals in the locker room, which resulted in their membership being terminated,” the gym franchise said in a statement.

The gym instructs staff not to discriminate against biological males who use women’s facilities. “Some members may feel uncomfortable with a transgender member using the same locker room facilities, bathrooms, showers, or other facilities/programs separated by sex,” their handbook reads, telling staff: “This discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.”

Following Silva’s social media posts — and the subsequent revocation of her gym membership — Planet Fitness shares plunged 7.8 percent, sliding from $59.44 to $54.80 on Tuesday. The trading losses have led some market observers to conclude that Planet Fitness is receiving the ‘Bud Light treatment’ for their pro-transgender policies.

BLM Agitators Disrupt Kyle Rittenhouse Event, Chant ‘F*** His A** Up!’

A scheduled appearance by Kyle Rittenhouse at a Turning Point USA chapter event at the University of Memphis was disrupted by Black Lives Matter (BLM) agitators chanting “lock his ass up!” and “f*** his ass up!”

Video footage of the demonstration shows BLM activists chanting “Kyle is a killer!” as well as cheering and even chasing people leaving the event after it finished.

Rittenhouse, 21, shot three men who attacked him during a riot at the height of the BLM disorder in 2020. All of them had criminal records, with the first man Rittenhouse shot, David Rosebaum, being a convicted pedophile.

TPUSA has accused University of Memphis administrators of actively sabotaging the Rittenhouse event by claiming their ticketing system had not been “equitable” and forcing them to redo it on short notice.

“Most shockingly, we have gathered credible information that school administrators have leaked the new ticketing information to protester groups so they can reserve large numbers of newly issued tickets and sabotage the event,” said TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet.

Govt Funding of DEI Banned in This State…

On Tuesday, the Alabama state legislature passed a bill that defunds Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs at public universities.

Now awaiting Republican Governor Kay Ivey’s signature, the bill could go into effect by October 1. Alongside public universities, it would strip funding from school boards and other government agencies pushing DEI initiatives.

The legislation also requires students to use restrooms associated with the biological sex rather than their gender identity and bans the dissemination of “divisive concepts” rooted in Critical Race Theory (CRT) and related ideologies, suggesting certain groups — principally white people — are “inherently responsible for actions committed in the past” or should “accept, acknowledge, affirm or assent to a sense of guilt, complicity or a need to apologize.”

Republican state Rep. Ed Oliver, one of the bill’s primary sponsors, said DEI initiatives “deepen divisions, set up race-exclusionary programs and indoctrinate students into a far-left political ideology.”

The Alabama legislation advances as the University of Florida is firing all DEI staff.

Ramadan ‘Hadiths of the Day’ Removed After Backlash.

Network Rail, the government body responsible for most of Britain’s rail infrastructure, has apologized for displaying ‘Hadiths of the Day’ in London’s King’s Cross Station during Ramadan.

A message on the busy station’s public bulletin board reading, “The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) [Peace Be Upon Him] said: All the sons of Adam are sinners but the best of the sinners are those who repent often,” was apparently the ninth such message to have been displayed since the start of Ramadan.

Network Rail initially defended the hadiths, insisting “King’s Cross station is made up of a diverse and multi-cultural workforce and at times of religious significance, messages such as these are displayed to celebrate the station’s diversity and inclusivity.”

However, despite Britain being a Christian country, at least constitutionally, no messages appear to have been displayed for Lent, which is currently ongoing.

Amid growing backlash from Christians, cultural conservatives, and secularists, Network Rail backed down, claiming: “We value the feedback of our passengers and while these messages were intended to celebrate the beliefs and backgrounds of some of our colleagues and passengers, we have removed them.”

They also claimed they would be “looking into” why hadiths were preached at station users rather than “general Ramadan celebratory messages.”

DEI Jobs ‘Costing Taxpayer at Least Half a Billion a Year,’ Says UK Govt.

Publicly-funded Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) roles in the United Kingdom are costing the country “at least half a billion pounds a year,” according to the Cabinet secretary responsible for business and trade.

Olukemi ‘Kemi’ Badenoch, raised partly in Nigeria and partly in the U.S., made the admission in an op-ed for the notionally right-wing Telegraph following a review of so-called Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) – the preferred term for DEI in Britain.

“The UK has seen an explosion of EDI roles in organisations,” she wrote. “Studies found that the UK employs almost twice as many EDI workers per head than any other country. This same analysis estimates that EDI jobs in our public services are costing the taxpayer at least half a billion pounds a year.”

She noted that, in the private sector, “employers are even inadvertently breaking the law under the guise of diversity and inclusion by censoring beliefs or discriminating against certain groups” — namely Christians, heterosexuals, and white people — “in favour of others.”

She also acknowledged the scandal involving an unlawful, anti-white recruitment policy at the Royal Air Force — for which no one was punished.

Badenoch built her reputation in Britain’s Conservative Party by criticizing race ideology, breaking out as a public figure by insisting that teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) and “white privilege” as fact in British schools was unlawful during the Black Lives Matter disorder of 2020.

However, no action was ever taken against schools disseminating such ideology, and she later refused to comment on the socialized National Health Service (NHS) pushing anti-“whiteness” training on staff.

In recent weeks, she posted a picture of herself wearing a hijab at a mosque in the Sharia-governed United Arab Emirates, claiming it was a symbol of “tolerance,” as her party was being accused of “Islamophobia.”

RBG Awards Canceled After Late Justice’s Family Objects to Murdoch and Musk Presence.

The planned Washington, D.C., gala for the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award — set to honor Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Milken, Martha Stewart, and Sylvester Stallone — has been canceled, according to the Opperman Foundation, which was organizing the event. The cancellation comes after the family of the late Supreme Court Justice objected to Murdoch and Musk receiving the awards.

Objections to Murdoch and Musk being named as awardees were raised by Ginsburg’s children, James Ginsburg and Jane Ginsburg, as well as former Ginsburg clerk Trevor Morrison. The trio argued that the proposed honorees did not align with the principles espoused by the late Justice.

The initial focus of the award was to honor “an extraordinary woman” each year, a tradition from which the Opperman Foundation this year when it selected male honorees without conferring with the Ginsburg family. It remains unclear whether the selected honorees will still receive awards in the absence of the ceremony, as the foundation has made no further information available. The drama surrounding the awards caused the Library of Congress to dissociate itself from them, stressing its role as only the planned venue.

Ginsburg’s family primarily objected to the selection of Murdoch and Musk due to political reasons. Murdoch is the founder of NewsCorp, the parent company of Fox News. Musk is known for his stalwart defense of free speech and promotion of right-wing causes. “I think she’d be appalled,” James Ginsburg said in an interview. “When you think about trying to create a more just society, which, of course, was mom’s ultimate goal, those are probably about the last names that would come to mind.”
