The U.S. Supreme Court granted an injunction to Maine State Representative Laurel Libby yesterday in a 7-2 decision, ordering the Speaker and Clerk of the House to allow her to speak and vote. This follows her repost of already public, truthful information showing a 1st place "girls" pole vaulter who previously competed in boys pole vaulting for which she was censured and silenced - a first in Maine history. And just in the nick of time! Also yesterday the Judiciary Committee in the Maine Legislature deadlocked on bills that would undo the gender madness in ME and prevent boys from competing in girls sports and soon the proposed legislation will hit the House floor where Democrats have a slim 3 seat majority over Republicans.
Read MoreThere's a lot of common ground to be tilled in Maine by hopeful gubernatorial candidates when it comes to gender. Angus King III can build things, apparently, but does he believe women are real? Shenna Bellows is the torch bearer for the gender warriors in Augusta where she was elected by progressives in the legislature to be the chief election officer. Can she earn the vote of the overwhelming majority of citizens who disagree with her stance on biological boys playing on girls teams?
This former Democrat is looking for leadership and political party no longer matters. Republicans ended slavery, maybe their next big win will be freeing women and girls from the chains of wokeness and the heavy burden of "gender identity."
Read MoreDid you know in 2021 the Maine Legislature passed a law that defines "female" as any individual who self-identifies as a woman, regardless of biological sex? "An Act to Bring Gender Parity to Corporate Boards" passed without Governor Janet Mills signature but is law nonetheless, and the similarities to England's law recently clarified by the UK Supreme Court is striking. One major difference is nobody knew it happened in Maine until recently - and we still don't know how or why it did - except that Maine seems to be following the playbook of trans activists from across the pond.
Read MoreYou might have heard the State of Maine is being denied millions of dollars in federal funding by the Trump Administration because of the an ill-conceived "gender identity" law enacted in 2019 for special interest groups. What you haven't heard is that most Maine women (a) don't discriminate against transgendered people and (b) don't accept that "trans women" are women and should play on women''s sports teams. Do you?
Read MoreThe Alphabet Elites are twisted over Trump's two-gender rule. What to tell the kids? How about the truth? Induction into the rainbow club does not mean angst-free adolescence. You don't need a label to be loved! There is no silver bullet or limit on the road to self-discovery.

Read MoreFormer US Senate Sergeant at Arms and local political legend Larry Benoit is voting "no" on the Cape Elizabeth $94.7M school bond come November 5th for a lot of very good reasons. The bottom line? The tax burden for residents far outweighs any educational benefits.
And claims by the local school board that the proposed alternative $42M bond to cover the cost of essential renovations and repairs has not been vetted? "Disingenuous," Benoit says. "Utter nonsense."

Read More"Smoke and mirrors" is what Reiniger calls the latest legal threats by gadflies who hired a law firm to stop a bond measure of $42M for essential school repairs that would raise taxes by 5% to be put out to voters along side the pricey $90M "Middle Ground" proposal that would build a brand new school to the tune of a 15% tax increase.
