An 80-year-old woman was banned from using a community pool run by the YMCA in Washington state after she expressed her anger because she said that a man dressed in a woman&#8217;s swimsuit was watching little girls undress and also saw her naked in the women’s showers, according to local media reports.
Julie Jaman, 80, had been swimming at the <a href="https://www.olympicpeninsulaymca.org/locations/branch/mountain-view-pool/">Mountain View pool,</a> a Port Townsend facility, for <a href="https://thedistance.substack.com/p/woman-80-banned-from-the-city-pool?r=uglk&amp;s=w&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">35 years</a>, but on July 26, the Y’s aquatics manager, Rowen DeLuna, allegedly informed her that some children needed the lane she was swimming in.
Jaman said she headed to the women’s showers, where she soaped up before hearing a man’s voice, then turned to see a biological male named Clementine Adams, allegedly an employee at the pool, “looking at the little girls as they were taking off their suits,” the Port Townsend Free Press <a href="https://www.porttownsendfreepress.com/2022/08/02/mountain-view-pool-punishes-woman-for-her-gender-expression-and-identity-part-one/">reported</a>.
The Daily Wire reached out to the Mountain View pool for comment.
“There were gaps in the curtain and there I was, naked, with soap and water on me, and this guy, right there very close to me,” Jaman said. “I asked, ‘Do you have a penis?’ He said, ‘That’s none of your business.’ That’s when I told him, ‘Get out of here, right now.’”
Jaman said she turned to DeLuna, who was outside the shower stall, and said, “Get him out of here,” but DeLuna responded, “You’re discriminating and you can’t use the pool anymore and I’m calling the police.”
Jaman claimed that when she got dressed and tried to leave the building, a YMCA staff member told her she could not leave, echoed by DeLuna, prompting Jaman to respond, “Bull****! I’m going to the police right now. I want help and I need it immediately.”
Jaman said Wendy Bart, the CEO of the Olympic Peninsula YMCA, spoke to her later that day, and told her that she was banned from the pool, and said a staff member told her that Jaman said to Adams, “You’re going to stick your f***ing penis in those little girls.” Jaman, the mother of two adult daughters, said she reacted, “I am an 80 year-old woman and I do not talk like that.”
Jaman told the city council, as can be seen <a href="https://thedistance.substack.com/p/woman-80-banned-from-the-city-pool?r=uglk&amp;s=w&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">here</a>, “My experience after having my swim was hearing a man’s voice in the women’s dressing area and seeing a man in a woman’s swimsuit watching little girls pull down their bathing suits in order to use the toilets in the dressing room. I reacted by telling him to leave, and the consequence is that I have been banned from the pool.”
“There is no signage informing women the shower room is now all-gender and what that means, nor have parents been informed of what they can expect with these new policies,” she declared. “The Y has not provided any dressing shower room options for women who do not want to be exposed to men who identify as women. It is unconscionable that the YMCA would implement these new policies without clearly informing pool patrons and parents.”
She concluded, “The YMCA, the city, the police and sheriffs, the parents, the professionals who assist victims of voyeurism, peeping Toms, pedophilia and assault need to come together figure too out how to make the new policies work for all pool patrons, not just one group. How to keep children, who are less able to discriminate, safe. It is ironic that women who discriminate when a situation threatens their safety or their children — a message from our ancestors — are now accused of discrimination as if they have made someone else a victim.”

Washington

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump offered more hints of a 2024 presidential run on the same day that he and his former vice president, Mike Pence, gave separate speeches in Washington, D.C.
“This November, the people are going to vote to stop the destruction of our country, and they’re going to vote to rescue America’s future,” Trump told the crowd gathered at the America First Policy Institute summit.
“I’m here before you to begin to talk about what we must do to achieve that future when we win a triumphant victory in 2022 and when a Republican president takes back the White House in 2024, which I strongly believe will happen,&#8221; he added to applause.
He later referred to the 2020 election, saying that he had won a &#8220;second time,&#8221; adding amid strong applause, &#8220;That’s going to be a story for a long time, what a disgrace it was, but we may just have to do it again. We have to straighten out our country.&#8221;
The former president has not officially announced that he will run in 2024, though he has frequently hinted at it as of late. Some Republicans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-aides-staffers-fear-trump-will-upend-midterms-by-announcing-too-early">have expressed</a> concerns that a pre-November announcement would upend the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2022-election">midterms</a>, but many Republican lawmakers urge the president to come out and announce.

Meanwhile, earlier on Tuesday across town at the JW Marriot, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-pence">Mike Pence</a> called for unified conservative action as he outlined his “Freedom Agenda&#8221; to young conservatives at the Young America’s Foundation conference. The former vice president’s speech was originally scheduled for Monday evening at The Heritage Foundation, but was delayed due to weather.
“Some people may choose to focus on the past,” Pence said. “But elections are about the future. And I believe conservatives must focus on the future to win back America.”
“We can’t afford to take our eyes off the road in front of us,” he added.
In a brief question and answer session after the speech, Pence addressed a student’s query about his relationship with Trump.
“I couldn’t be more proud of the record of the Trump/Pence administration,” he responded. “And for four years, we advanced the policies that I just described, without apology.”
“I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to serve as vice president,” he continued. “I don’t know that our movement is that divided. I don’t know that the president and I differ on issues. But we may differ on focus.”
“I truly do believe that elections are about the future, and it’s absolutely essential at a time when so many Americans are hurting, so many families are struggling, that we don’t give way to the temptation to look back,&#8221; Pence said. &#8220;I think the time has come for us to offer a bold, positive agenda to bring America back. And I’ll continue to carry that message all across this nation.”

WASHINGTON — Former Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-pence">Mike Pence</a> called for unified conservative action in remarks delivered Tuesday outlining his &#8220;Freedom Agenda.&#8221;
&#8220;More than ever, we need to lead America with a freedom agenda focused on the future,&#8221; Pence told young conservatives at the Young America&#8217;s Foundation conference in downtown Washington, D.C. &#8220;God must have had different plans for today. For he must have decided that a talk about the future &#8230; should be given to the rising generation.&#8221;
The former vice president&#8217;s speech, originally scheduled for Monday evening at The Heritage Foundation, comes hours before Donald Trump will speak at the America First Policy Institute&#8217;s America First Agenda Summit on Tuesday afternoon.
&#8220;Some people may choose to focus on the past,&#8221; Pence said. &#8220;But elections are about the future. And I believe conservatives must focus on the future to win back America.&#8221;
&#8220;We can’t afford to take our eyes off the road in front of us,&#8221; he added.
In a brief question and answer section after the speech, Pence addressed a student&#8217;s query about his relationship with Trump.
&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t be more proud of the record of the Trump/Pence administration,&#8221; he responded. &#8220;And for four years, we advanced the policies that I just described, without apology.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;ll always be grateful for the opportunity to serve as vice president,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know that our movement is that divided. I don&#8217;t know that the president and I differ on issues. But we may differ on focus.&#8221;
&#8220;I truly do believe that elections are about the future, and it&#8217;s absolutely essential at a time when so many Americans are hurting, so many families are struggling, that we don&#8217;t give way to the temptation to look back. I think the time has come for us to offer a bold, positive agenda to bring America back. And I&#8217;ll continue to carry that message all across this nation.&#8221;
During his remarks, the former vice president praised the overturn of Roe v. Wade and pushed for Americans to help mothers and babies in need across the nation. He called for an end to the radical, woke ideology in schools and in the military, and he emphasized the importance of the United States showing strength toward world leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Pence repeatedly pointed Americans toward the future, noting that &#8220;we&#8217;ve all been through a lot over the last few years&#8221; and referring to the COVID pandemic and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot before adding, &#8220;I want to assure all of you, I remain incredibly optimistic.&#8221;
&#8220;I came today not to look backwards but to look forward,&#8221; Pence said. &#8220;The truth of the matter is, now more than ever, conservatives need to be focused on the challenges Americans are facing today and offer bold and positive agenda solutions for the future.&#8221;
&#8220;The conservative movement has always been built on the notion that ideas have consequences,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Conservatism is bigger than any one moment, any one election, or any one person. It’s always been about ideas.&#8221;

Mike Pence: ‘Elections Are About The Future,’ Warns, ‘Don’t Give Way To The Temptation To Look Back’

Mike Pence Calls For Unity Ahead Of Trump DC Speech

The United States Capitol Police arrested six House staffers on Monday who were protesting in Senate Majority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chuck-schumer">Chuck Schumer&#8217;s</a> office.
Law enforcement responded to the protest that took place in room 322 in the Hart Senate Office Building around 11:15 am, the Capitol Police told The Daily Wire.
&#8220;Six demonstrators were arrested for DC Code §22-3302 Unlawful Entry for failing to leave the office after they were told to leave,&#8221; police said. &#8220;The six people who were arrested are all House staffers.”
The individuals arrested were Saul Levin, Aria Kovalovich, Rajiv Sicora, Courtney Koelhel, Phillip Bennett, and Emma Preston, according to the police.

A mother in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/washington">Washington</a> opened up about turning in her 17-year-old son to the police three years ago after she found his notebook, which outlined plans to kill her just before attacking his high school.
Nichole Schubert first told her story to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/school-shootings-should-parents-call-police-11657465830">The Wall Street Journal</a> and then later sat down with <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/family/story/mom-opens-turning-son-police-mass-shooting-threat-87172549">Good Morning America</a>, recalling one of the most heartbreaking moments of her life. She hopes that sharing her story would encourage parents to pay attention to warning signs and stay in their children&#8217;s business — even if they don&#8217;t like it.
&#8220;Your first instinct is, as a parent, is to protect your child,&#8221; Schubert told Good Morning America. &#8220;But at that point, I felt like if he is actually going to do these things, he would be safer in jail.&#8221;
In 2019, Schubert came across her son&#8217;s notebook while cleaning her home and turned him over to authorities within hours, admitting she had previously found what she believed was a homemade pipe bomb in her son&#8217;s room.
&#8220;It was very descriptive,&#8221; Schubert said. &#8220;It was just heartbreaking.&#8221;
“I didn&#8217;t — I didn&#8217;t really want to know the details,&#8221; she added.
Her son denied the plans were real and argued his writings were only a fantasy or a story. But police still had enough evidence to arrest him. He later pleaded guilty to a felony charge for threatening to bomb or injure property and misdemeanors for harassment.
Following his charges, he underwent mental evaluations while completing community service time and a rehabilitation program. He now has a job, hopes to attend college, and has not had any further problems with the law since his arrest.
The experience still feels devastating for Schubert.
“That&#8217;s my child,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I gave birth to him — it hurts a lot — it still hurts.&#8221;
However, she stands by her choice as she believes it saved lives, and she advocated for parents to take responsibility for keeping their children and others safe.
&#8220;Stay in their business,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Even if they don&#8217;t like it — they&#8217;re not going to like it. But as parents, it&#8217;s our job to know what our kids are doing.&#8221;
Schubert said her friend&#8217;s children attended the same high school as her son, which led to her calling the police.
&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t just about me and him at that point,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It was about a whole school — hundreds of people, hundreds of kids, children. Just be aware and watch for signs — kids will normally tell you by their actions when something is wrong.&#8221;

A 25-year-old man allegedly viciously beat a disabled senior citizen at the Bellevue Transit Center in Washington two days after authorities released the attacker from prison on a sexual assault conviction.
The elderly man later died from his injuries in the hospital on Tuesday.
“It’s one of the most disturbing cases that we’ve seen this year, and we see a lot of disturbing cases every day,” Casey McNerthney, a spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, told <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/victim-alleged-bellevue-transit-attack-dies-attacker-was-released-prison-32-hours-earlier/5XQQCMFOJBBLZERH7R5LETXKKM/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KIRO7</a>.
On July 10, Eric Larson, 63, was sitting in his wheelchair shortly after midnight when Gabriel Vargas-Garcia, 25, allegedly began pacing up and down nearby, according to court documents.
Surveillance footage shows Vargas-Garcia allegedly approaching Larson and knocking his wheelchair over before repeatedly kicking him and stomping on his head. Then, despite Larson appearing unconscious, Vargas-Garcia allegedly viciously beat the 63-year-old for at least 90 seconds.
When authorities arrived to transport Larson to a nearby hospital, reports said the attack had left the elderly man bloodied and with a fractured skull.
“Oh, my goodness,” Kai Baylon, Bellevue resident, told KIRO7 as she looked at a photo of Larson. “Why? Do they know the reason?”
Authorities said Larson and Vargas-Garcia were not connected, calling the attack unprovoked.
When police tracked down Vargas-Garcia, they discovered he had only been out of prison for less than 48 hours after serving 15 months for sexual assault.
“This is a disturbing case where someone gets out of jail with the statewide sentencing guidelines that are set by state lawmakers,” McNerthney said.
McNerthney said that Vargas-Garcia would likely get a long prison sentence if authorities find him guilty since he has a previous conviction.
Authorities are currently holding Vargas-Garcia on $750,000 bail.
Safewise, a national crime and safety survey conductor, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.safewise.com/blog/safest-cities-washington/#Violent_Crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> the city of Bellevue missed the cut as one of the 20 safest cities in Washington. However, statewide, the survey shows violent crime experiences rose about 10% in 2022 — climbing for the third consecutive year.
“Aggravated assault is the most prevalent violent crime, accounting for 64% of reported crimes, versus 70% nationally,” the report reads. “Washington sees fewer murders statewide than most of the country, but murder accounts for a slightly smaller percentage of violent crimes in the safest cities (1% versus 2% nationwide).”
“68% of Washington residents believe that crime is on the rise, up from 64% the previous year,” the report added.
Tyler Devert, a resident of Seattle, told KIRO7 he sees “violence happening more and more,” like shootings on public transportation in both his home city and Bellevue.
Bellevue Transit Center visitors said they often saw Larson at the center sitting in his wheelchair.
Bellevue resident Jake Walden called Larson “a nice guy.”
“He’s never bothered anybody,” Walden told KIRO7. “He’s a nice guy — I haven’t talked to him personally — but he always minds his own business.”
Larson’s family reportedly said he seemed to have been recovering after doctors took him off the ventilator until he died on Tuesday afternoon.

WASHINGTON — The United States Attorney&#8217;s Office for the District of Columbia said Monday that it cannot move forward with misdemeanor charges against members of Stephen Colbert&#8217;s crew.
Nine members of the late night television host&#8217;s team were arrested on June 16 in the Longworth Office Building, the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office said in a Monday statement. But charges will not be sustained against these individuals.
&#8220;After a comprehensive review of all of the evidence and the relevant legal authority, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has determined that it cannot move forward with misdemeanor charges of unlawful entry against the nine individuals who were arrested on June 16, 2022 at the Longworth Office Building,&#8221; the attorney&#8217;s office said.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia &quot;cannot move forward with misdemeanor charges of unlawful entry against&quot; members of Stephen Colbert&#39;s staff and crew arrested June 16, saying they were &quot;never asked to leave by the staffers who invited them.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/d77sVbB88k">pic.twitter.com/d77sVbB88k</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;The individuals, who entered the building on two separate occasions, were invited by Congressional staffers to enter the building in each instance and were never asked to leave by the staffers who invited them, though, members of the group had been told at various points by the U.S. Capitol Police that they were supposed to have an escort,&#8221; the statement continued.
The U.S. Attorney&#8217;s office said that the defendants will no longer be required to appear for the July 20 scheduled hearing in a DC court since &#8220;the Office would be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that these invited guests were guilty of the crime of unlawful entry because their escort chose to leave them unattended,&#8221; and it does not &#8220;believe it is probable that the Office would be able to obtain and sustain convictions on these charges.&#8221;
The United States Capitol Police (USCP) also released a <a href="https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/uscp-s-unlawful-entry-arrest-june-16-2022">Monday statement</a> in which it said the police force had been working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office on the &#8220;unlawful entry case&#8221; that involved the Colbert team.
&#8220;The United States Capitol Police was just informed the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia is declining to prosecute the case,&#8221; the USCP said. &#8220;We respect the decision that office has made.&#8221;
According to <a href="https://twitter.com/ChadPergram/status/1537971491416854532">Fox News&#8217; Chad Pergram</a>, the individuals unsuccessfully tried to get press credentials for the January 6 committee hearings since their late night show did don&#8217;t classify as &#8220;news.&#8221;
The team conducted interviews with Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff, Democratic Florida Rep. Stephanie Murphy, and Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Jake Auchincloss while they were in the office buildings, Pergram said.
&#8220;However, the Colbert group left the House office buildings at some point,&#8221; Pergram tweeted. &#8220;Fox is told they were let back into the Longworth House Office Building sometime after 4 pm et by an aide to Auchincloss.

&#8220;The group apparently then roamed the House office buildings unattended for hours,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;They were arrested near the office of Rep.

US Attorney's Office Says Misdemeanor Charges Against Stephen Colbert's Crew Cannot Proceed

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/seattle">Seattle</a> convict with a prolific rap sheet was arrested in a dumpster Thursday afternoon after fleeing a hospital room in nothing but his birthday suit while attempting to evade <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/police">police</a>.
Billy Chambers, 29, was injured following a shootout and multiple vehicle crash in Seattle on Thursday afternoon, Fox13 reported. Chambers was taken to the hospital, where he provided police with a fake name and asked for a lawyer, The King County Prosecutor&#8217;s Office told the media. He then ran.
Authorities discovered that Chambers had a felony warrant out for his arrest for escaping community custody. Prosecutors also allege that Chambers had a firearm on his body, which he is unable to have because of previous felony convictions. Most notably, as a teen in 2008, Chambers was convicted of manslaughter in the group killing of  Ed &#8220;Tuba Man&#8221; McMichael.
The &#8220;Tuba Man&#8221; was a popular Seattle fixture who often played the brass instrument throughout the city at various sporting events, festivals, and other cultural activities. Fox 13 reported that Chambers has been arrested at least eight times since the murder of McMichael. He has <a href="https://www.q13fox.com/news/man-convicted-for-killing-seattles-tuba-man-ran-naked-from-police-on-thursday-to-avoid-arrest">had</a> at least five felonies during that stretch as well.
In 2010, Chambers served prison time after being convicted of using a fake firearm to rob a man in downtown Seattle. And in 2011, Chambers was sentenced to prison for attempted assault and hit and run after taking his vehicle and ramming it into a woman&#8217;s car after she reported him for allegedly stealing goods from her vehicle.
In 2013 — just two weeks after being released from prison — Chambers was arrested and convicted of possessing an illegal rifle after authorities caught him and some other men stealing objects from a vehicle in the Burien neighborhood of Seattle.
For those crimes, he was sentenced to six years in prison and three years supervised release, <a href="https://komonews.com/news/local/tuba-man-killer-headed-back-to-prison">according</a> to Komo News.
&#8220;This is your last best chance,&#8221; Judge Robert Lasnik <a href="https://komonews.com/news/local/tuba-man-killer-headed-back-to-prison">said</a> to him in 2013. &#8220;Please take advantage of it.&#8221;
The career criminal&#8217;s sister was confident that Chambers — who was only 20 at the time of his 2013 prison sentencing — was turning his life around.
&#8220;He&#8217;s saying things I&#8217;ve never heard him say,&#8221; she <a href="https://komonews.com/news/local/tuba-man-killer-headed-back-to-prison">said</a>, according to Komo News. &#8220;He&#8217;s growing into a man.&#8221;
Authorities have not said if charges will be pressed against Chambers for his latest run-in with the law.

Two days before his 19th birthday last week, Logan Schneider may have saved a helicopter pilot&#8217;s life in the middle of Washington when it crashed into a set of power lines above the teenager and landed on top of his tractor.
Schneider had just finished working on his family&#8217;s cherry orchard in Orondo, Washington, when he heard a loud crash above him and saw a Hiller UH-12E.
&#8220;I had noise-canceling headphones on, and all of a sudden, I just hear something so loud above me,&#8221; Schneider told <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.ncwlife.com/news/victim-of-orondo-helicopter-crash-turns-rescuer/article_d8a1fdf4-fe41-11ec-96e1-97e11278557c.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NCWLIFE</a>. &#8220;And I look up, and I see the helicopter hit the power line, and then it comes crashing down, and it hit me on the tractor and pinned me against the steering wheel.&#8221;
Schneider told <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/helicopter-falls-tractor-orondo/281-375b50c1-b64d-4cfe-9e3b-844f806468fe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KREM2</a> that the nose of the helicopter wedged him against the steering wheel.
Just after he escaped the trap, he saw the pilot, Cori Johnson, 39, from Idaho, screaming while hanging upside down in his harness as the helicopter burned in flames.
&#8220;I had to go in through the fire, reach my arms through and unclip him,&#8221; Schneider told the <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/13/us/helicopter-crash-washington-state.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a>.
He said he &#8220;really wasn&#8217;t thinking&#8221; at the moment when he rescued Johnson.
&#8220;I was just doing,&#8221; he said.
Orondo Fire authorities responded to the crash on July 7 around 9:00 a.m and found the helicopter wreckage and the tractor on fire.
&#8220;Firefighters initial efforts were hindered by difficult access and high voltage power lines,&#8221; authorities <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0upehcYkZNukbLienbNeeLwYjdSTA4VoSz2hZqp5vKB8MCRUze4DJd7dxRrpNMRzRl&amp;id=207235355980728" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Once the power lines were de-energized firefighters extinguished the fire on both the tractor and helicopter.&#8221;
Authorities reported the initial investigation showed the helicopter struck high voltage power lines then swiftly moved into the cherry orchard.
The New York Times reported the F.A.A. said out of the 12,000 civilian helicopters flown last year, 114 crashes occurred.
David Schneider, Logan&#8217;s father, told the New York Times he received a call about the crash while at work about 20 minutes away.
&#8220;I&#8217;m still in awe,&#8221; David Schneider said. &#8220;I still get goosebumps thinking of what could have happened and trying not to dwell on what could have happened.&#8221;
Both men only sustained minor injuries and were transported to Central Washington Hospital for treatment. While the pilot suffered a broken arm and minor burns, Schneider, sustained minor, second-degree burns on his arms and muscle damage in his back. 
Schneider described the odds of that happening as one in a million.
&#8220;I feel like I always have someone watching over me, God watching over me, protecting me,&#8221; Schneider told <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/helicopter-falls-tractor-orondo/281-375b50c1-b64d-4cfe-9e3b-844f806468fe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KREM2</a>. &#8220;And you never know when it could be your last moment.&#8221;
Schneider told reporters despite the accident, he plans on fulfilling his goal of enrolling in an aviation program to learn how to fly commercial airliners.
But perhaps the strangest part about Schneider and Johnson crashing into each other — they both share the same July 8 birthday.
&#8220;I just thought it was so bizarre,&#8221; Schneider said.

A school board director in Washington state who owns an “identity-inclusive sex shop” announced sex-education classes there for children as young as nine years old that include subjects such as “sexual anatomy for pleasure and reproduction” and “safer sex practices for all kinds of sexual activities.”
Jenn Mason, formerly the school board president, is a sex educator and owner of WinkWink in Bellingham.
“The class for 9- to 12-year-olds is an introduction to topics related to relationships, puberty, bodies, and sexuality,” Mason <a href="https://mynorthwest.com/2882429/rantz-trans-book-controversy-reveals-school-board-president-owns-all-ages-sex-shop/">emailed</a> Jason Rantz of KTTW. “We focus on what makes healthy vs. unhealthy friendships and romantic relationships, the science of how puberty works, consent and personal boundaries, defining ‘sex,’ and discussing why people may or may not choose to engage in sexual activities.”
“This course includes understanding the basics of sexual anatomy, including the names and function of body parts related to reproduction and pleasure,” she continued. “We also cover the basics of biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.”
In May 2021, in a first-grade class in Bellingham, a teacher decided to educate her children on the value of transgenderism, reading them “I Am Jazz,” a book about a two-year-old biological male starting to transition to a female.
As Kara Zupkus of Young America’s Foundation <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/1st-grade-class-read-transgender-book-school-board-pres-owner-of-all-ages-sex-toy-shop-does-nothing/">detailed</a>, Jennifer Miller, a first-grade teacher in Bellingham School District, was confronted by one angry parent, who asked in an email, “Did you read this book to 1st graders today?”
Miller defiantly responded, “Yes, I did read this book. As a district we are working hard to support all members of our school community and promote inclusion through understanding and compassion.” Zupkus reported, “Concerned parents reached out to school administrators and the school board, both of whom refused to take action.”
Mason was then the school board president.
WinkWink, according to Rantz, is an &#8220;all-ages sex shop.&#8221;
The store <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-1st-grade-teacher-reads-book-to-students-about-transgenderism-female-school-board-prez-who-owns-sex-shop-does-not-object">reportedly</a> offered informational classes on topics including “Intro to Vibrators” and “Butt Stuff Basics.” Mason boasted, “Many of us become adults that are still lacking in the language and information to have the type of sex life that we’d like to have. The classes are really to help broaden people’s understanding and skills,” adding, “I’ve always done important work, but I really wanted to do something that was important and fun. There are few things more fun than getting to talk to people about sex all day.”
“I am a lifelong feminist and all of the work that I have ever done has been focused on people who have been marginalized,” Mason stated. “I’m always going to do my best to center marginalized people. All of us need to have our eyes wide open about the ways that conservatives want to legislate our bodies and that their actions will impact the people who are already more marginalized.”
“Mason, who has <a href="https://bellinghamschools.org/about/school-board/meet-the-board/">held</a> her presidential position since 2017, was approached by concerned parents about pushing transgenderism on their first-grade children. She did not provide a response to their concerns,” Zupkus wrote. “An angry parent went so far as reaching out to Bellingham Public Schools superintendent, Greg Baker, with his concerns. Baker refused to engage over email with the parent, and instead requested a phone call — but shut down the idea once the parent asked if he could record the call.”

Thanks to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/supreme-court">Supreme Court</a>&#8216;s 6-3 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-supreme-court-affirms-religious-liberty-rules-in-favor-of-public-high-school-football-coach-punished-for-praying-after-games">ruling</a> in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, freedom of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/religion">religion</a> is protected once again — even when you enter the public <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/education">schools</a>.
In an interview with The Daily Wire, First Liberty attorney Jeremy Dys — part of the legal team representing lead plaintiff and Bremerton High School football coach Joseph Kennedy — broke down how the Court&#8217;s ruling will affect Americans.
On Monday morning, the high court <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21-418_i425.pdf">ruled</a> that Kennedy&#8217;s First Amendment rights were violated after he was placed on administrative leave by the Washington state school district and was banned from participating in the football program for praying on the field in view of students.
Dys explained that the Court&#8217;s ruling &#8220;stands for the principle that no one should be fired from their jobs simply because they can be seen engaged in some sort of religious activity.&#8221;
&#8220;And more than that, this reaffirmed the promise of the First Amendment, that you don&#8217;t have to choose between a job that you love and your faith,&#8221; he added.
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority decision and was joined by justices Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and Chief Justice John Roberts.
&#8220;Gorsuch was very clear here, that the school district went out of their way to discriminate against Coach Kennedy, for activity that was clearly protected under the First Amendment, the Free Exercise Clause,&#8221; Dys explained.
The attorney for First Liberty explained that the Bremerton School District was &#8220;using the Establishment Clause like some sort of cudgel to deflate his First Amendment freedoms. That&#8217;s something that&#8217;s unnecessary. And in this country, we&#8217;re able to welcome religion even through the schoolhouse gates.&#8221;
On Twitter, leftists have been making much hoopla over the fact that Gorsuch — essentially — did away with what&#8217;s called &#8220;the Lemon test&#8221; in this ruling.
<a href="https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/first-amendment-center/topics/freedom-of-religion/establishment-clause-overview/">The Lemon test</a>, from <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/403/602">Lemon v. Kurtzman,</a> developed three questions designed to demonstrate whether or not a political action violates the First Amendment:
<div>
<ol>
<li>Does the government action have a secular purpose?</li>
<li>Does the government action have the primary effect of advancing or inhibiting religion?</li>
<li>Does the government action foster an excessive entanglement between government and religion?</li>
</ol>
Dys explained to The Daily Wire that the Lemon test hasn&#8217;t been used for quite some time and received a hefty blow in 2018 for another case which First Liberty won — American Legion v. American Humanist Organization, AKA the Bladensburg Cross case.
&#8220;The Lemon test &#8230; was always used to sort of prevent religious activity within the public square,&#8221; Dys argued. &#8220;So anytime the Lemon test was trotted out, the person who was engaging in religious activity in the public square always lost every time,&#8221; he summarized.
In the <a href="https://firstliberty.org/cases/bladensburg/">Bladensburg Cross case</a>, a group of atheists argued in court that a giant cross erected in honor of World War I veterans in 1925 ran afoul of the First Amendment while &#8220;alleging that the public ownership, maintenance, and display of the memorial violated the Establishment Clause.&#8221;
In 2019, the Court ruled 7-2 that the cross did not violate the First Amendment, and also whittled away the aforementioned Lemon test, Dys explained.
With the Bladensburg Cross victory, &#8220;the Court really, more or less, put away the Lemon test in that case, without formally overruling it.&#8221;
&#8220;They took really the extra step [in Kennedy] and said again, &#8216;This is not a test for us to be using,'&#8221; Dys continued.
Instead of that standard, &#8220;the Court looks to the history and tradition of our country.&#8221;
The Court asks questions like, &#8220;Have we welcomed the speech and religious activity of individuals or religious paraphernalia, language, monuments, memorials &#8230; as a country? And do we welcome that in the public square historically? And if so, then they&#8217;re entitled to protection and there&#8217;s nothing to be feared from at all,&#8221; Dys explained.
In effect, Americans can be assured that the right to religious liberty has now returned to the public square.
&#8220;What the Court has basically done has been to reaffirm the importance of welcoming religion in the public square, rather than taking bulldozers to monuments that are maybe the shape of the cross, or in the case of Coach Kennedy, people who take a knee in silent prayer by themselves at the 50-yard line on a public school football field.&#8221;
&#8220;What the Supreme Court said in this case, with regard to Lemon and other things is that school districts around the country can&#8217;t close the schoolhouse gates to the constitutional rights of every American. They have to welcome their First Amendment freedoms.&#8221;

As the Supreme Court overturned <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/roe-v-wade">Roe v. Wade </a>on Friday, several <a href="https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2022/06/24/abortion-laws-by-state-roe-v-wade-00037695">states</a> will move to restrict or ban abortion entirely while others have already taken measures — and will continue to further instill laws — that will maintain abortion availability in the states.
On Friday, the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/united-states-supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-leaves-abortion-restrictions-to-states">voted</a> 6-3 in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which has the effect of overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion, “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” adding, “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
As of last month, Alaska, Oregon, Colorado, New Mexico, New Jersey, Vermont, and Washington, D.C., had no <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/05/14/abortion-state-laws-bans-roe-supreme-court">limits</a> on abortion. However, several states, including California and Washington, allow abortion until viability but provide exceptions to the latter standard to protect the life or health of the person seeking an abortion.
After the ruling was <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/06/24/west-coast-states-launch-new-multi-state-commitment-to-reproductive-freedom-standing-united-on-protecting-abortion-access/">announced</a> on Friday, the governors of Oregon, California, and Washington “issued a Multi-State Commitment to defend access to reproductive health care,” including abortion and birth control, and “committed to protecting patients and doctors against efforts by other states to export their abortion bans to our states.”
The governors of the three states released a video describing how the West Coast will remain an area in which women will be able to get an abortion.
Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said the Supreme Court “want[s] to strip women of their liberty and let Republican states replace it with mandated birth,” saying that the justices want to go back to a time period “when women were not treated as equal citizens under the law.”
Governor Kate Brown (D-OR) said, “For all the Americans today feeling scared, angry and disappointed — for everyone who needs an abortion and does not know where they can access safe reproductive health care — please know you are not alone, and the fight is not over.”
Governor Jay Inslee (D-WA) added that over half of the population in the U.S. “now lacks safe access to a medical procedure that only a patient and their doctor can and should make for themselves. Instead, law enforcement, vigilantes and judicial systems can force patients to bear the burdens of forced pregnancy and birth.” Inslee added that Washington will keep committing to “protecting the ability and right of every patient who comes to our state in need of abortion care.”
The governors laid out the ways that each of them has expanded abortion, such as Newsom proposing a $125 million Reproductive Health Package to, in part, prepare for women coming into the state from areas that restrict abortion. California Democrats also recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-dems-to-introduce-bill-enshrining-abortion-contraception-rights-into-state-constitution">introduced</a> legislation to enshrine abortion and contraception rights into the state’s constitution. Newsom also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-moves-radical-on-abortion">signed</a> a measure that eliminated out-of-pocket costs for abortions, making abortion essentially free for most people with insurance.
In 2017, Oregon codified abortion into state law when Brown signed the Reproductive Health Equity Act, which also broadened so-called reproductive health care for all citizens of Oregon.
Earlier this year, Inslee <a href="https://www.king5.com/article/news/politics/state-politics/washington-state-abortion-law-jay-inslee/281-a2a3e9b9-6c21-4a1e-9c92-f5be7676cbfb">signed</a> a bill that would not allow lawsuits to be brought against those who try to get an abortion or those who provide them.
New Jersey is another state that could act as a “safe haven” where women will get abortions from other states in which the procedure is banned or restricted. Last year, the state altered its rule for who is <a href="https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/health/2022/06/24/supreme-court-abortion-new-jersey-legal-roe-v-wade-dobbs/7683890001/">allowed</a> to perform abortions, allowing some licensed medical workers other than doctors to do so. Governor Phil Murphy (D) has proposed even more access, including forcing insurance companies to pay for abortions with no out-of-pocket costs for the woman.
The piece of draft <a href="https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2022/A4350">legislation</a> would also prohibit prosecutors in the state from working with investigations across states or <a href="https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/health/2022/06/24/supreme-court-abortion-new-jersey-legal-roe-v-wade-dobbs/7683890001/">extradition</a> attempts of New Jersey abortion doctors or people who go to them. It would provide $20 million &#8220;with $15 million for an abortion care clinical training programs and $5 million for security guards and security equipment to protect abortion facilities from attacks,&#8221; <a href="https://www.nj.com/politics/2022/06/murphy-sends-nj-lawmakers-bill-to-expand-access-to-abortion-but-its-unlikely-to-pass-sources-say.html">according</a> to NJ.com. This draft legislation has so far not gained much traction in the state legislature in New Jersey.
&#8220;We&#8217;re never going to be a state that looks like Texas or Georgia or other states — Oklahoma — that are going in the direction of taking rights away from people,&#8221; Murphy reportedly said in a recent NPR interview. &#8220;We are going to expand rights.”
New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) <a href="https://gothamist.com/news/supreme-court-roe-v-wade-abortion-new-york-new-jersey-explainer">told</a> New Yorkers Friday that “an abortion remains safe, accessible and legal in New York,” adding, “Our state will always be a safe harbor for those seeking access to abortion care.”
In Michigan, there is a law from almost a hundred years ago that would ban abortion in the state if Roe was overturned, but Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michigan-supreme-court-poses-questions-to-whitmer-in-abortion-lawsuit-looks-into-taking-up-case">challenged</a> the law, along with another lawsuit, to get rid of the potential ban. The law is currently paused by the state court.
“The 1931 law would punish women and strip away their right to make decisions about their own bodies,” Whitmer <a href="https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2022/06/gov-whitmer-ag-nessel-condemn-roe-decision-work-to-stop-michigan-abortion-ban.html">said</a> in a statement, as the punishment for providers would reportedly be felony manslaughter. “I am deeply disappointed that Michigan’s Republican legislative leaders have been in court defending this draconian ban, to the detriment of women and families.”
Governor of Pennsylvania Tom Wolf (D) has <a href="https://whyy.org/articles/supreme-court-roe-abortion-rights-pennsylvania-new-jersey-delaware/">said</a> he will continue opposing pro-life bills while he is governor, but his term ends in several months.
In Alaska, abortion is <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/abortion-stands-state-state-state-breakdown-abortion-laws/story?id=85390463">protected</a> under the state constitution and law, but Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy <a href="https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2022/05/04/alaska-political-fight-brewing-roe-v-wade-looks-be-overturned-soon/">said</a> last month that he thinks “turning over Roe v. Wade, if that happens, will cause a renewed conversation in Alaska as to where Alaska wants to go on this particular issue.”
On August 2, Kansas voters will decide whether the state constitution should be altered to state that there is no right to an abortion.
The <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/abortion-stands-state-state-state-breakdown-abortion-laws/story?id=85390463">states</a> that protect abortion by legislation or codified laws include California, Colorado, Delaware, Kansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, where the state’s code does not allow interference with someone’s right to abortion.
Other states that have a right to abortion protected in their constitution include Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, and Oregon.
