DISPATCHES FROM THE LEFT’S WAR ON WOMEN GIRLS: What Dems Have Done to Deerfield girl—and the rest of Illinois—is Just Plain AWFL.
You hear that gruesome story of the 13-year-old middle-school girl from Deerfield confronted by school officials and ordered to disrobe in front of a male classmate?
It sounds too AWFL to be true.
But it happened, according to her mother Nicole Georgas who said Tuesday she was filing a police complaint with the police in Deerfield on top of a complaint she filed with the U.S. Department of Justice.
The mom alone standing up for her daughter’s privacy was repeatedly mocked and insulted by hostile trans activists as she addressed a crowded District 109 School Board meeting.
The story has gone viral world-wide and was broken by the Lake County Gazette and Dan Proft’s radio show “The Morning Answer.”
To understand this bizzarro world, please understand this:
Even though President Donald Trump has signed an executive order protecting girls’ privacy, and has vowed to cut federal education funding to rogue states, the Illinois Democrats are funded by billionaire Gov. JB Pritzker, who is the bankrupt state’s leading activist for transexuals.
And he’s running for president.
“The male student was present in the girls’ locker room,” Georges said at the school board meeting. “Feeling violated, the girls made the choice not change into their PE (physical education) clothes with a biological male present.”
The next day Georgas said, the officials at Alan B. Shepherd Middle School tried to bully a girls’ PE class into changing in front of the boy.

IF XI IS ANGERED, I’M PRETTY SURE IT MUST HAVE BEEN A WIN: China’s Xi Is Angered by Panama Port Deal That Trump Touted as a Win.
The Xi leadership had originally planned to use the Panama port issue as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Trump administration, according to people close to Beijing’s decision-making, only to see the rug pulled out from under it.
President Trump, who in the first minutes of his administration called for the U.S. to reassert control over the canal, celebrated the deal as a victory over Chinese interests in America’s backyard, turning Panama into a symbol of the U.S.-China battle for global influence.
Xi’s unhappiness suggests he, too, sees the canal that way and doesn’t like to be painted as the loser.
Exit quote: “Despite Beijing’s unhappiness, it doesn’t have a simple way to halt the deal. The assets to be sold are all outside mainland China and Hong Kong, and the parties to the transaction have expressed confidence that it can be completed.”
It certainly does look like a win.
LAWFARE UPDATE: Trump’s Fight With the Federal Judiciary Is Coming to a Head.
JOANNE JACOBS: What’s a ‘good’ school? Parents have more choices, need more info.
“A lot of the shiny schools in nice neighborhoods with slick websites that glowed with platitudes about child-centered learning and urban farming, and posted photos of racially diverse children, and which I suspected parents loved not only for those reasons but also because other parents who talked like them and dressed like them sent their kids there, too, were, in fact, academically middling.”
Considering the demographics, schools were underperforming and, in some cases, “leaving behind critical groups of students, like students with disabilities or English Language Learners,” he writes. Hunt also discovered other schools that were doing better than their student demographics would predict.
Hunt tried sharing the information with parents on the playground. They didn’t want to hear it.
Some had “subscribed to the luxury belief that as long as your kid has heard his necessary 30 million words before he turns 3 and his mac ‘n cheese is Annie’s brand, he can caper his way through elementary school on nothing more than vibes,” Hunt writes.
“Standardized tests are not perfect, most especially the ones administered by the states,” he concludes. “They’re probably too long. They’re not as precise as they should be. They can be logistical headaches. The move to digitize them is questionable.”
But they’re the only reliable way for parents to know if their children are doing grade-level work, Hunt writes.
It’s complicated but longer term, getting parents more involved must be a good thing.

The current state of the Hamas "playing cards" leadership: Of the 54 top targets set in Ocotber 2023, 34 are dead, and 8 are being harboured in Qatar or Turkey. So, of the 45 who were in Gaza at the start of the war, only 12 are still alive (Haniyeh was killed in Iran). Not bad. pic.twitter.com/kEF6TfoalB

COLORADO: Choked out: How Colorado’s regulatory maze is starving its energy producers.
Few states rival Colorado’s wealth of energy resources, but its oil and gas industry is up against increasing challenges. Small and mid-sized operators, once the industry’s backbone, are struggling with a growing tangle of regulations.
Delayed permits, overlapping oversight and rising fines are making it harder to stay in business, forcing many to reconsider their future in the state.
Ryan Clark, Vice President of Engineering at Petrox Resources and a fourth-generation Coloradan working in his family’s oil and gas business, has watched small operators disappear under the weight of increased regulations.
“Honestly, I don’t know if oil and gas has a future here,” he said. “Growing up, this was a business people built for generations. Now, I don’t see a lot of small operators doing much. And I don’t see a lot of big operators either. It’s like Colorado is pushing everyone out.”
Tyson Johnston, a father of four, serves as the Vice President of Land & Regulatory at Gunnison Energy LLC to ensure energy development is environmentally responsible and economically viable. He takes pride in industry innovations that reduce emissions and support sustainable energy solutions.
Johnston echoed similar concerns. “The end game under Polis will be importing energy. He believes it’s all going to be wind and solar, but the truth is that’s never going to be the case. We’ll be importing oil and gas from states that are less responsible with how they produce.”
I laugh — bitterly — every time I read some earnest tribute to my “libertarian” governor’s light regulatory touch.
Gov. Polis already signed a law banning the sale of pistols to anyone under 21. That strikes me as an unconstitutional infringement although perhaps I’m wrong. He’s expected to sign new legislation banning ammunition sales to 18-to-21-year-olds and requiring shops to store their ammo out of reach. The first part may or may not be constitutional but the second is a very big and expensive FU to gun store owners.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Spoiler Alert — Trump Is Going to Outlast Wearisome Activist Judges. “The diaper-filling judges are tedious, un-American, and doomed to fail. Yeah, they may get a few small victories here and there, but President Trump is going prevail for a couple of reasons.”
ARE THERE ANY THAT DON’T? Another Useless Agency Bilking Taxpayers Uncovered. “Some of these things may lie in a gray area, but others are out and out fraud against the American taxpayer. At the very least, these bureaucrats living like kings should be forced to reimburse the federal government for clearly illegal cases of bilking the American taxpayer. For others, they need to be indicted for fraud as an example to others.”

HMM: NASA Eyes Plan to Get Boeing Back on Track as SpaceX Alternative.
Boeing Co.’s Starliner is undergoing analysis and upgrades, a test campaign slated for this summer and at least one additional demonstration flight that could cost $400 million or more — all to prove it’s a viable alternative to Elon Musk’s Dragon capsule for getting Americans to orbit.
“We’re working hand-in-hand with Boeing as well on certification of Starliner, getting that vehicle back to flight,” Steve Stich, program manager for NASA’s commercial crew, told reporters on Tuesday evening.
The return of NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on SpaceX’s Dragon capsule “shows how important it is to have two different crew transportation systems,” Stich added.
His comments were the most bullish in months about the troubled Boeing program. But a question he and other NASA officials stopped short of answering Tuesday is who would foot the bill for such an extensive test campaign, or even the extent of the company’s commitment.
That’s a big if. Boeing was out $1.6 billion on Starliner — it was a fixed-price program and, the company swears, Boeing’s last — before thruster leaks forced CFT to come home without Butch and Suni.
Whether Boeing wants to go even deeper into the red trying to fix the leaky thrusters and on what could be two more flight tests — one manned, one not — is a question the company has yet to answer.
KEVIN DOWNEY JR: Unlike Raccoons, Demo-Communists Don’t Learn From Their Mistakes. “I’m beginning to believe that the Democratic Party is taking its direction from a right-leaning comedian with a taste for bourbon because, honestly, it’s making so many bad decisions that it’s almost like I am in their command and purposely giving it advice to make it look as though it’s nuttier than squirrel droppings.”

SPACE: 4 tiny, Earth-like planets found circling 2nd-closest star system to us — and could be visited by future human generations. “Astronomers have long suspected that there was at least one exoplanet orbiting Barnard’s Star — a red dwarf with a mass around one-sixth that of the sun. At 5.97 light-years from Earth, it is the fourth-closest star to our solar system, after the three interconnected stars of the Alpha Centauri system.”
