What will it take for the left, and their representatives in blue state governments, to stop the gender insanity and admit defeat?

Despite President Donald Trump’s election and the promised return to normalcy on gender issues, some states are refusing to adapt to the obvious “vibe shift” that has happened across the country.

Wisconsin Democrat Gov. Tony Evers supports a budget proposal that would get rid of gendered terms in state laws. Father would be “natural parent.” “Mother” would be replaced by the atrocious “inseminated person.” Evers argues that changing the words for “mother” to something disgusting like “inseminated person” is just a way to have “legal certainty that moms will be able to get the care they need.”

MAINE HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS DEALS WITH NEW TRANS-ATHLETE CONTROVERSY AS STATE’S POLICY COMES UNDER FIRE

The Biden administration had previously changed the word for mother to “birthing person” and introduced it in their 2022 fiscal year budget. The added insult is that they featured it in a section about maternal mortality.

Everyone knows this is a political statement, not a medical or even a legal one. No doctor will encounter a pregnant woman and not understand how to give her care even if she chooses male pronouns for herself. Biology remains constant, no matter what the left pushes.

Meanwhile, Maine Democrat Gov. Janet Mills is ignoring a Trump Executive Order that prohibits boys from playing in girls’ sports. It’s not up for debate. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Gov. Mills pointedly noting, “Where federal and state law conflict, states and state entities must follow federal law — not because we live in a dictatorship, but because the Constitution requires states to follow the supreme law of the land.” Bondi also sent letters to officials in California and Minnesota.

But even setting aside the actual law, allowing biological boys to participate in girls’ sports is a lopsided issue in American discourse, with a great majority, as much as 80% in some polls, saying that boys should not be allowed into girls’ sports. Governors still pushing the idea of biological boys competing against biological girls are representing a shrinking sliver of the American population. The rest of us know it’s wrong.

The Maine House has also taken the extraordinary step of censuring Maine state Rep. Laurel Libby, who posted a picture of a biologically male athlete who won the state championship in women’s pole-vaulting. Libby is not allowed to speak on the House floor nor vote over the social media post. This kind of bullying has been standard to literally shut down any conversation on the topic so they don’t inflame that 80%.

Charlamagne tha God, the leftist talk show host of “The Breakfast Club,” wondered, “Why are folks still talking about trans athletes? Like that is a losing talking point. America’s not with it, and they keep making a micro a macro with that conversation. It impacts such a small, small group of people, but it makes a whole lot of people think folks lack common sense. So why are they even having that conversation?”

It’s because the activists won’t give up. They don’t care that the great majority of Americans don’t support their extremist views. They’ve gotten used to getting what they want through tantrums and name-calling over the last four years, and they think they can force their way into a win now.

However, the election has made it more likely that people will tell them, “No.” People are tired of being bullied into accepting increasingly unhinged terminology and behavior. They’re tired of having to accept lies and the erasure of women.

What the activists are going to find is that the Trump administration is ready to fight them, and that fight will be on behalf of most Americans. Blue state governors need to decide if calling women an “inseminated person” is worth it.

Ilhan Omar doesn’t have any regrets for her ‘unavoidable’ outburst at State of the Union

Ilhan Omar doesn’t have any regrets for her ‘unavoidable’ outburst at State of the Union

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., spoke candidly on Wednesday, defending her outbursts during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.

Omar, along with colleague Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who was seated next to her, appeared on video repeatedly interrupting and gesturing toward Trump several times throughout his speech.

Omar appeared to shout “You are a murderer” and “You’re a liar.”

When appearing on CNN, Omar was pressed by host Wolf Blitzer, who noted that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., asked members of his caucus to either sit in silence or to not attend at all.

“Should you have just boycotted the address? And do you think you violated the guidelines set out by your own leader?” he asked.

“No, I think it was really unavoidable. The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents,” Omar responded.

“Do you have any regrets at all about the interaction we played between you and President Trump just last night?” Blitzer asked.

“I do not, and I think many people look at that moment when the president says, ‘It is our responsibility to protect Americans,’ and he does not acknowledge the fact that two Americans, two of my constituents, two of our neighbors, were killed,” she said. “And it was important for me to just remind the American people that the president and his administration was responsible for killing two American citizens.”

Blitzer proceeded to ask, with hindsight in mind, whether she still thinks she made the right choice by showing up.

“I brought four Minnesotans up as guests for the Minnesota delegation. It was important for us to be there, to bear witness, to hold space for our constituents that have lived through an occupation from federal law enforcement, that have been terrorized, that have seen our neighbors been killed and traumatized in so many ways and, so, no. I think it was really important for my constituents to see me there,” she said.

“It was really important to my constituents to hear that. I was reminding the president that Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed under this administration.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

It responded with a Truth Social post from Trump in which he called for critics like Omar and Tlaib to be put on a boat and “send them back from where they came.”

Rex Satterfield’s 1956 Bel Air takes 2026 Ridler Award in Detroit

Rex Satterfield’s 1956 Bel Air takes 2026 Ridler Award in Detroit

Rex Satterfield hoped to see his 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible snag one of the BASF Great 8 finalist spots at this year’s Detroit Autorama. But winning the Ridler Award — one of the highest honors in the custom car business — was something he didn’t foresee.

“It’s just overwhelming right now,” said the man from Russellville, Tennessee, as he left a ballroom at downtown’s Huntington Place and made his way back to the show floor on Sunday, March 1. “We weren’t expecting this.”

Getting a car recognized as one of the BASF Great 8 vehicles is a win in and of itself as they are considered the “absolute pinnacle of custom automotive craftsmanship worldwide,” according to the show. The cars undergo an intensive judging process.

And this effort had an unexpected and emotional complication with the passing in December 2024 of the original builder, Jeff Wolfenbarger, who was battling cancer even as he continued working on the car named “Elegant Lady.”

Kevin Riffey of Kevin Riffey’s Hot Rods and Restorations in Knoxville stepped in to finish the work Wolfenbarger started. He’d had two other cars in the past make the Great 8. He said the goal with this vehicle was straightforward, calling it a “purpose-built show car.”

From its prominent spot at the front of the show floor, “Elegant Lady” sported a creamy exterior, dubbed Light Coffee. The car carries a 1,000 horsepower Don Hardy race engine. The gauges, wheels and gas tank are custom, and the dash is from a 1956 Pontiac.

Satterfield plans to show the car around some and enjoy the moment with it. He said he’s been a car guy since he was a little kid.

The Ridler Award, named in honor of Detroit Autorama’s first publicist, Don Ridler, comes with a $10,000 prize. It was awarded on the final day of this year’s Detroit Autorama, which ran Friday, Feb. 27-Sunday, March 1. This was the event’s 73rd year.
