Biden Coming After Schools In Defiance Of Transgender Sports
The Biden administration kicked off back to school season by threatening schools that embrace traditional gender ideology.
In a video address on Tuesday, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said transgender students should be allowed to compete with whatever gender they identify with for sports and go into any bathroom they want. She then appeared all too eager to threaten schools that refuse to comply.
“We’re here to say that’s wrong and its against the law,” she stated.
“Right now we are fighting against laws that tried to ban transgender athletes in West Virginia and deny health care for transgender young people in Arkansas,” Clarke continued. “And recently, federal courts in both states have blocked those laws from being applied.”
Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Suzanne Goldberg also chimed in and urged students to report cases in which biological males are not allowed to enter women’s space such as female bathrooms.
“We know that you are resilient and we hope you find support where and when you need it,” she stated. “But we also want you to know the Department of Education and the entire federal government stands behind you. Your rights at school matter.”
Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary to the Department of Health and Human Services, Rachel Levine claimed that students have the right to sex-altering services, many of which have sterilizing effects.
This prompted former HHS Office for Civil Rights Director Roger Severino to say the Biden administration’s video address is pushing unscientific ideologies.
“Kids, especially girls, will be damaged by decisions being made by Biden administration appointees who won’t have to live with the long-term consequences,” he noted.
Wendy Rogers, Doug Mastriano, Teddy Daniels Demand Maricopa-Style 2020 Audit In Pennsylvania
“We’re not just doing this for 2022, we need to find out what happened in 2020”
Pennsylvania Sen. Doug Mastriano and Arizona Sen. Wendy Rogers hosted a packed election integrity rally in Scotland, PA on Tuesday evening. The event went through more than one venue change and was going to be held in Gettysburg until a last minute switch due to the threat of inclement weather.
Despite the switch, the rally was still standing room only and drew from across the state. Other speakers included Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington, Rep. Rob Kauffman, congressional candidate Teddy Daniels, Audit The Vote PA co-founder Toni Shuppe. Women For America First, the organization that put together the massive “Save America” rally on January 6th, organized Tuesday’s event.
Rep. Kauffman started the night by announcing plans to conduct a full forensic audit in Pennsylvania based on the Maricopa County model. “We can’t wait to see what’s coming and we thank you for leading the charge in America for voters,” Kauffman said to Senator Rogers. “But guess what we’re here for tonight? We’re going to be doing the same thing in Pennsylvania,” he then added. This resulted in a standing ovation and loud chants of “USA” from the crowd. Kauffman, along with Mastriano and PA State Senator Cris Dush travelled to Arizona in June in order to observe the audit process in Maricopa County.
Senator Mastriano was then introduced to a standing ovation and loud cheering. Mastriano has been the leading figure in calling for an election audit in Pennsylvania. In July, Mastriano submitted a forensic investigation request for records from three counties: York, Tioga and Philadelphia. Philadelphia, a Democrat stronghold, refused the request. A Republican-majority county board in Tioga county also declined the request and accused Mastriano of creating “unnecessary chaos” in pushing for a detailed view of the county’s election in 2020. “I’m disgusted of politics and politicians already, I’m disgusted by the dishonor, the lies, the games they play. I’m tired of the games,” Mastriano said on Tuesday. “If there’s nothing to hide, who not open up the books?”
Senator Rogers spoke next, again receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. “We’re not just doing this for 2022, we need to find out what happened in 2020,” Rogers announced to cheers from the crowd. “This is now a package-able, exportable, excellent, the best ever combination of technical expertise now. We have the blueprint,” the Senator said regarding the Maricopa audit. Rogers also dismissed threats from Merrick Garland and the Biden regime to shut down the audit. “Excuse me, that’s Arizona, federal government you’re over here, this is our audit. The state legislature has plenty of power, the U.S. constitution, that’s what gives us our power.”
Arizona audit results are expected to be released to the public in the near future. “Confirming audit companies are preparing the draft report to present to the senate team . Senate team will then review for accuracy and clarity for final report which will be released publicly,” Arizona Senate President Karen Fann (R) posted to Twitter on Monday. Rogers noted that the preliminary audit report will be released within days. “PRELIM AUDIT REPORT COMING IN SEVERAL DAYS,” Rogers tweeted.
Teddy Daniels, a Purple Heart veteran of Afghanistan and Republican candidate for Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, closed the event with a fiery speech. “They found nine military ballots in a dumpster, nobody seemed to care. Even a guy who announced for governor, his home county, nowhere to be found,” Daniels said. “Well I organized some folks and we went up there. The media hit me, well hit me all you want. I survived combat, there’s nothing you can do that can hurt me.”
“The time is now. This is the hill that we stand and fight on. If we lose this fight we lose everything,” Daniels said in regards to an election audit. “The time of playing nice is over, the time of political correctness is over….. The more they hit me, the more they try to silence me, the more I dig in.”
Senator Rogers will be in Virginia on Sunday for another election integrity event. “Once Arizona delivers our prelim report, it is up to the rest of the states to do forensic audits and issue their reports. We need to keep pushing,” Rogers wrote in a tweet last Sunday. A petition demanding a full forensic audit for Pennsylvania has garnered over 1,000 signatures to date.


Florida senator seeks probe of Ben & Jerry’s halting sales in Israeli settlements
Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R) is calling for a federal investigation into Ben & Jerry’s over its decision to stop selling ice cream in occupied Palestinian territory.
Scott, in a letter to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, called for her department to open an investigation into whether the company’s move violates the Export Administration Act.
The statute mandates that the president “prohibit compliance with or support of any foreign boycott against a country which is friendly to the United States, with specified exceptions.”
“Such boycotts of foreign countries are in violation of statute and horribly anti-Semitic. They have no place in the United States, and in conjunction with the Office of Antiboycott Compliance and the Department of Justice, I ask that you determine if these entities are violating statute, and if so, to hold them fully accountable,” Scott wrote in Tuesday’s letter.
He added that he is “extremely concerned with Ben & Jerry’s anti-Semitic actions.”
Scott’s request for an investigation is the latest in a chorus of politicians calling for increased scrutiny of Ben & Jerry’s decision. The company announced the move in July, saying, “We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).”
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) last month called on his state to block the sale of Ben & Jerry’s products, citing Louisiana’s “anti-boycott of Israel law.”
“#Benandjerrys has now decided they know more about Jerusalem than the Israelis. If Ben & Jerry’s wants to have a meltdown & boycott Israel, OK is ready to respond. Oklahoma has an anti-boycott of Israel law in place,” Lankford tweeted.
Florida took action against Ben & Jerry’s earlier this month, placing parent company Unilever on its “Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel” list.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said the move was “sending a message to corporate America that we will defend our strong relationship with the Jewish State.”
“I will not stand idly by as woke corporate ideologues seek to boycott and divest from our ally, Israel,” he added.
The company’s decision has also sparked pushback in Israel.
The Israeli government reportedly established a task force last month in an effort to pressure Ben & Jerry’s into loosening restrictions against the Israeli-occupied territories.
When reached for comment, Ben & Jerry’s referred The Hill to its July statement announcing the policy.
