[FoxNews] The Biden administration's sweeping Title IX proposal, which would bring in gender identity, mirrors an action memo from a George Soros-funded advocacy group that quietly works with the administration on policy, according to a Fox News Digital review of documents.
The Title IX proposal, unveiled last Thursday, contains rules on anti-transgender bias in schools, reversing Trump-era guidance. Governing for Impact (GFI), a secretive liberal nonprofit whose board includes a high-level Soros director, prepared a legal memo for the Education Department that is similar in structure and reasoning.
A backbone of the Biden administration's proposal includes expanding language to bring in gender identity and sexual orientation, which GFI advocated for within the memo.
GFI's legal policy memo recommended "implementing regulations to include sexual orientation, gender identity, and transgender status; and that Title IX and its implementing regulations require schools to treat students consistent with their gender identity for purposes of Title IX and not to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity."
Rachel Klarman, GFI's executive director, told Fox News Digital that they are proud of their "ongoing efforts to help ensure that the federal government works more effectively for everyday working Americans, not just for members of industry groups that have long devoted vast resources to pursuing their own policy agendas."
"We're glad the administration is revising its Title IX guidance," Klarman said. "During the transition, Governing for Impact made a number of recommendations for how this policy could be improved, which are available on our public website."
GFI, which has maintained a shadowy presence, has quietly worked with the Biden administration behind the scenes and boasted in internal memos of implementing more than 20 of its regulatory agenda items as it attempts to reverse Trump-era deregulations by zeroing in on education, health care, housing, labor and environmental issues, Fox News Digital previously reported.
GFI's website does not appear on internet search engines but is discoverable to those who know the URL. It contains dozens of legal strategy memos for shaping executive orders and regulations.
The memos; however, generally do not identify their authors. Some show partnerships with outside groups such as The National Student League Defense Network, the Center for Law, Energy and the Environment at Berkeley Law School and the Economic Policy Institute.
The group has prepared legal policy memos for at least 10 federal departments and agencies, according to an internal slide show from the group. They also produced 10 administrative law primers as of 2021. The slide also included multiple federal officials as a part of its "listening tour."
GFI, meanwhile, is not a stand-alone nonprofit. Instead, the New Venture Fund, a nonprofit incubator managed by the D.C.-based consulting firm Arabella Advisors, fiscally sponsors it. This setup allows GFI to avoid filing tax forms with the IRS.
The group's attachment to the Arabella-Advisors dark money network, which raised $1.6 billion in anonymous donations in 2020, is not discoverable from public records. The New Venture Fund does not report GFI as a trade name in its D.C. business filings.
However, GFI's links to the New Venture Fund are discoverable in George Soros' Open Society Foundations (OSF) grant database. A search of the database shows that Soros nonprofits sent $12.98 million to GFI and its related action fund in 2019 and 2020.
The Foundation to Promote Open Society awarded $5.53 million to GFI. Meanwhile, the Open Society Policy Center sent $7.45 million to GFI's action fund. The Sixteen Thirty Fund, also managed by Arabella Advisors, fiscally sponsors the action fund.
GFI also sports additional links to Soros' network. Tom Perriello, the executive director of Soros' Open Society Foundations, sits on GFI's four-person board.

Its time a number of Departments and agencies simply be unfunded.
If you had real 'leadership' plans would already be on the table for federal funding for the next fiscal year if the Trunks take the house. Send each appropriation bill up by individual Departments and agencies, no f'ing omnibus bills. Just leave off those who decided they work for the party not the people as represented.

Well, with Roe rescinded, we can look ahead to getting rid of the Department of Education now too.

[Breitbart] During an interview with Newsmax TV on Monday, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) reacted to Democratic proposals for the Biden administration to use federal lands to conduct abortion by pointing out that many Democrats have tried to block oil drilling on federal lands, something that would "help every mom in America. It’ll help every dad in America. They won’t do that, but they’ll open it up for abortion." Coming soon.....'Open to the public.'
Donalds stated, "[T]hese ridiculous policies like using federal lands to conduct abortions on, that’s insane stuff. They won’t give federal lands for drilling for oil, you know, the thing that will help every mom in America. It’ll help every dad in America. They won’t do that, but they’ll open it up for abortion. This is crazy policy from a party that has completely lost their mind and has followed the radical left down a rabbit hole. No, I don’t think it’s going to work for suburban moms. Because suburban moms are concerned about how much it’s going to cost them to fill up their tank, they’re concerned about how much it costs to put food on the table, and they’re concerned, is their child actually getting an education or are they getting an indoctrination? And that’s where the radical left is taking us and they don’t like it, just like no other voter in America likes it."

[NYPOST] A New York City law allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections was struck down Monday by a judge who said it violated both the state constitution and various provisions of state law.
Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Ralph Porzio also issued a permanent injunction that bars the city Board of Elections from letting around 800,000 non-citizen residents register to vote.
In a 13-page ruling, Porzio said city officials can’t "obviate" restrictions in the state constitution, which "expressly states that only citizens meeting the age and residency requirements are entitled to register and vote in elections."
"There is no statutory ability for the City of New York to issue inconsistent laws permitting non-citizens to vote and exceed the authority granted to it by the New York State Constitution," he wrote.
Porzio said the city’s move also violated sections of the state’s Election Law and Municipal Home Rule Law.
City Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island), among the plaintiffs who challenged the law, hailed the ruling, saying it "validates those of us who can read the plain English words of our state constitution" and accused the measure’s proponents of seeking to "skirt the law for political gain."
"Opposition to this measure was bipartisan and cut across countless neighborhood and ethnic lines, yet progressives chose to ignore both our constitution and public sentiment in order to suit their aims," he said in a prepared statement.

[NYPOST] The ShopRite worker arrested for allegedly hitting Rudy Giuliani on the back inside a Staten Island supermarket walked free from court Monday after his charges were downgraded.
Daniel Gill, 39, who was still dressed in his ShopRite uniform following his Sunday arrest, kept his head down and refused to answer questions as he left Staten Island Criminal Court after his arraignment Monday.
His charges were downgraded to third-degree assault, third-degree menacing, and second-degree harassment over the caught-on-camera attack inside the supermarket.
Gill, who had no priors, was initially charged with second-degree assault involving a person over age 65.
Judge Gerianne Abriano refused the Staten Island DA’s Office’s request for supervised release and instead let Gill go on his own recognizance.
[NYPOST] Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of propity.... inadvertently financed his son Hunter’s dalliances with a Russia-linked escort ring, according to a report Monday.
President Biden wired his 52-year-old son $100,000 to help him pay bills from December 2018 through January 2019, the Washington Examiner reported, citing records from a laptop Hunter Biden left behind at a computer repair shop in Delaware. The was for the nose candy. The whores were billed separately.
Hunter Biden, meanwhile, had spent more than $30,000 on hookersprostitutes sex workers ...the oldest profession was legal (though not always unregulated) for thousands and perhaps even millions of years. That never has made it something most people want their daughters doing... between November 2018 and March 2019, records show — including many linked to Russia-based email addresses and connected to an "exclusive model agency" called UberGFE, the outlet reported.

No actual criminal activity taking place. Hunter, Bill Clinton, Epstein, Prince Andrew, Gates, and Maxwell were simply testing product samples for Klingon honey traps.
[NYPOST] CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... fact checker Daniel Dale refuted uncorroborated claims circulating online that Rep. Lauren Boebert once worked as an escort, had two child sacrifice abortions, and advertised her services on a "sugar daddy" website.
The rumors were started online by American Muckrakers PAC, a Democratic Party ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... -aligned super PAC that was behind the unearthing of embarrassing and compromising videos of Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC).
Among the spurious claims that went viral about Boebert (R-Colo.) was that she was introduced to Sen. Ted Cruz; ...US Senator from Texas. Republican contender for president in 2016, his stiff and abrasive manner earned him the title most hated man in the Senate. After a close win over Beto O'Rourke, who tried to out-Lastino him, he grew a beard and let his biting wit shine through. Cruz's comments have been known to leave life-threatening wounds at better than forty feet... (R-Texas) after being hired as an escort by a member of the Koch family. Boebert, who has denied the claims, has threatened legal action against the super PAC.
Dale appeared on CNN on Monday and relayed to viewers that David Wheeler, the super PAC co-founder, "acknowledged to me that all five of these [claims] were indeed inaccurate, but that his group still stands by what he calls the main points of the allegations, all of which Boebert vehemently denies."
Dale’s on-air remarks were reported by the online news site Mediaite.
"But so far the PAC has not provided corroborating evidence to prove the so-called main points," said Dale.

...This sort of thing is EXACTLY why Justice Thomas is encouraging a good, hard look at Sullivan. If Sullivan got shot down, American Muckrakers would be watching their little business go right into Rep. Boebert's pocket.
[NYPOST] Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. S You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... called his son Hunter in late 2018 to discuss a New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... article detailing the younger Biden’s dealings with a Chinese oil tycoon accused of economic crimes — telling him, "I think you’re clear," according to a report Monday.
The voicemail, discovered on a cell phone backup contained on Hunter Biden’s infamous discarded laptop, would appear to contradict President Biden’s continued denial that he ever talked with his disgraced 52-year-old son about his overseas business transactions — and was aware they could be improper.
"Hey pal, it’s Dad," Joe Biden said, the Daily Mail reported. "It’s 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk to you."
Biden then made his intentions clear.
"I thought the article released online, it’s going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good," Biden continued. "I think you’re clear. And anyway if you get a chance give me a call, I love you."
[NYPOST] A newly elected GOP congresswoman accused House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... of "pushing" her young daughter during a photo op at her swearing-in ceremony last week.
Rep. Mayra Flores of Texas made the accusation after a video posted on social media showed her posing with Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her family at the ceremony — with conservative commentators saying the speaker "elbowed" Flores’ daughter.
"No child should be pushed to the side for a photo op. PERIOD!!" Flores captioned a retweet of the video.
"I am so proud of my strong, beautiful daughter for not allowing this to faze her," she said. "She continued to smile and pose for the picture like a Queen."
The video shows Pelosi, standing next to Flores’ daughter, as she waves over the family’s pastor. Pelosi then looks at the girl and extends her elbow at the same point that the child moves over.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
