Judge Says She Has No Authority to Reinstate Trans-Identifying Park Ranger Fired For Unfurling Trans Flag at Yosemite National Park
A federal judge on Friday said she had no authority to reinstate a trans-identifying park ranger who was fired last year for unfurling a trans flag at Yosemite National Park.
Trans biologist Shannon “SJ” Joslin was fired by the National Park Service after she unfurled a transgender flag at El Capitan last year.
Joslin, who uses they/them pronouns, filed a lawsuit to get reinstated.
Fresno-based US District Judge Jennifer Thurston, a Biden appointee, said she doesn’t have the authority to reinstate Joslin.
The judge said Joslin has to challenge the firing by taking her claims to the Office of Special Counsel.
The Hill reported:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/judge-says-she-has-no-authority-reinstate-trans/A federal judge ruled Friday that she has no authority to reinstate a Yosemite National Park ranger who was fired for unfurling a transgender pride flag at the El Capitan rock formation last year.
The decision doesn’t address Shannon “SJ” Joslin’s allegation that the firing selectively targeted them for speech protected by the First Amendment.
“But the government has another more fundamental and more persuasive point: under the laws that Congress has passed, and under the legal precedent that a federal trial court must follow, this Court does not have authority to decide whether Joslin was fired for unconstitutional or illegal reasons, nor to block a hypothetical criminal case against them,” wrote U.S. District Judge Jennifer Thurston.
Joslin, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, must instead bring their claims before the Office of Special Counsel, the judge said.
“The Court lacks jurisdiction to review Joslin’s termination or to offer any related relief, including a reinstatement,” she wrote.
New Bill Would Fleece Pro-Lifers for “Emotionally Harming” Abortion Doctors
New Jersey’s new abortion protection bill could make pro-life activism illegal in the state.
Bills A2218 and S2260 aim to prohibit protestors from “intimidating” people outside abortion clinics, and health insurers from denying coverage for abortion services, NJ.com reported Wednesday. Experts warn at least one provision of this bill could violate people’s First Amendment rights.
“A person is guilty of interference with reproductive health care services” if they “purposely or knowingly” cause “a reasonable person to suffer damage to the person’s business or personal reputation, financial harm, or pain and suffering, mental anguish, or emotional harm on the basis that the person, entity, or facility provides, volunteers, assists with, or receives reproductive health care services,” the bill states.
Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin’s office, the ACLU of New Jersey, and New Jersey Press Association did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
“These bills lack basic constitutional safeguards and would punish truthful reporting relating to reproductive health care services, as well as protected opinions about such services,” a New Jersey Press Association spokesperson reportedly told NJ.com. “A reporter could be civilly or criminally liable for publishing an article about the troubling practices of a reproductive healthcare services provider, even if the reporting was well-documented and fully accurate. A provider could simply assert his or her reputation or emotions were harmed by that truthful reporting.”
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)’s New Jersey chapter also chimed in their concerns.
“We have been supportive overall, but this one provision is concerning,” ACLU of New Jersey Legislative Director John Butler reportedly told the outlet. “From our point of view, we want protections for abortion providers and clients but we also need to protect people’s constitutional rights to speech. I don’t think that is what the bill drafters were aiming at.”
Nearly 60,000 unborn children were aborted within New Jersey in 2024, the New Jersey Family Planning League reported Oct. 2025. 11% were reportedly done through telehealth.
“Our caucus remains committed to protecting the freedom of families to make medical decisions with their doctors without fear of threats or intimidation, and we refuse to let legislatures and voters from states a thousand miles away dictate medical decisions to families here in New Jersey,” Coughlin reportedly stated.
Some pro-abortion activists dismissed their concerns.
“While Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey disagrees with the interpretation that the current language in S2260/A2218 infringes on protected First Amendment speech, our goal is to see this bill enacted for the benefit of our state’s patients and providers,” the Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey stated in a press release Wednesday. “The bill remains strong: it ensures unhindered access to reproductive health care facilities; protects providers and patients from out-of-state legal attacks; and shields providers from adverse actions that stem from the provision of care that is legal in New Jersey.”
The bill was amended Thursday. It originally aimed to ban interference with “gender-affirming care” access, according to a press release by New Jersey General Assembly’s Democratic caucus last May.
“Let’s work on something that really protects kids, focusing on the genuine underlying problems,” Republican Assemblyman Paul Kanitra posted on X the evening those provisions were axed.
“New Jersey Right to Life will continue to defend every child in the womb, support mothers and families in crisis, and protect the fundamental right to speak and assemble without fear of prosecution. We will not be silenced,” New Jersey Right to Life said in a press release June 1.

Trans man fired from daycare after offering to kiss an 11-year-old, but he claims he was fired for "transphobia"
A man who claims he is a woman was fired from a daycare in Letterkenny. He claims it was retaliation against him because he was trans. The evidence, however, paints a different story.In his first week on the job, the man had two very serious complaints filed against him. A child claimed that Aleena Starshine tried to play a “safari game” with a kid, offering a kiss as a prize. In the second complaint, he released a child without verifying the adult's relationship.
A trans-identified male has lost an employment discrimination case after alleging that he had been wrongfully fired from his job at a childcare center in Letterkenny. The Workplace Relations Commission found that Aleena Starshine had been terminated not due to his gender identity, but as a result of repeat parental complaints and concerns about child safeguarding.
The first complaint pertained to a “safari game” Starshine had organized with the children, during which he offered an 11-year-old child “a free kiss from me” or a “big kiss” as a prize. The child reported this to a parent, who then filed a complaint with the facility. An investigation was launched, and Starshine was confronted about the comment and admitted to making it.
Why am I not surprised that this man is being accused of offering “a free kiss” as a “prize” during a game he made up? This is 100% a fireable offense, and it is deranged that he thought his fake trans status shielded him from accountability.
While not all trans people are like this, it is bizarre how more often than not, trans-identified males seem to make their way into vulnerable places and allegedly prey on potential victims. Why do you think that is?

The next incident involved yet another safeguarding concern in which Starshine reportedly released a child to the care of an adult during a pickup without verifying the adult’s relation to the child or having any other adults present. When confronted, Starshine once again “did not accept that any safeguarding issue arose, instead characterising the practice as normal.”
Again, this is certainly an offense that would be taken seriously for any other employee. This man, however, does not live in reality. He believes because he claims to feel some type of way, he should be afforded special treatment. Again, that is not how reality works. And to claim this man should be barred from ever working around kids would be an understatement.
California Dems Blasted for Post Claiming Only the Woke Can Watch World Cup
California Democrats have posted a list of political beliefs they believe one must hold to watch the World Cup.
In a series of X posts, the official California Democrats account listed the political opinions you must hold to view soccer’s biggest event, and if you don’t, you are “not allowed to watch.”
“You’re not allowed to watch the World Cup if you’ve ever voted against immigration,” one post read.
“You’re not allowed to watch the World Cup if you’ve ever spoken out against DEI,” the party continued.
“You’re not allowed to watch the World Cup if you only want people to speak English,” the account added.
The posts led to extensive backlash from X users.
“Fine by me,” longtime conservative media analyst Dan Gainor wrote.
“Every one of those other Countries has its own immigration policy, where you can’t just cross the border. The hypocrisy is crazy,” another wrote.
“Who the f’ are you to tell us what to do, you open border lunatics,” wrote another.
“What does soccer have to do with people coming here illegally? The person in this account has the IQ of a potato,” opined another.
“Oh no an idiot X account and its army of undead voting followers told me I can’t watch the World Cup,” another added, sarcastically.
California is the site for eight World Cup matches, including Team USA’s opener against Paraguay on Friday night.
It is unclear if the California Democrat Party will be screening fans for their voter preferences at the gate.

No one is buying this.
Barack Obama dropped another video promoting his hideous library.
The Obama Presidential Center, which cost more than $850 million to look like a trash heap on the South Side of Chicago, will open to the public on Juneteenth (June 19).
Barack Obama never even spoke about Juneteenth during his presidency.
“My wife is super hot,” Barack Obama said as he gushed over Michelle Obama.
“Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center,” Obama said.
WATCH:
Obama got savaged for his latest stunt.

Almost zero coverage of brutal sexual attacks by Muslims
Men and women in Sweden have been swimming together in public pools quite peaceably for more than 100 years.
But as the government has welcomed tens of thousands of Muslim migrants to be resettled in the Scandinavian country, some are wondering if Swedes may soon have to revert back to separate swimming arrangements.
The reason is simple, reports Swedish journalist Ingrid Carlqvist, a fellow at the Gatestone Institute.
Women are faced with a new reality when they show up for a swim at any number of public pools.
"Young male asylum seekers have turned Sweden's public swimming pools into ordeals of rape and sexual assault," Carlqvist writes. "More and more Swedes are now avoiding the pools all together."
"Swedish politicians seem convinced that some education on 'equality' will change the ways of men, who, since childhood, have been taught that it is the responsibility of women not to arouse them – and therefore the woman's fault if the man feels like raping her," observed Carlqvist in her latest article.
In 1975, before Sweden began experimenting with a multicultural immigration strategy, it was one of the safest countries in the world.
Sweden and Denmark now have the highest rates of sexual assault in the European Union, according to a study by the European Agency for Fundamental Rights. The findings were based on data from 2012 that was published in 2014.
A recent survey published by Aftonbladet on women's fears in Sweden found that 46 percent of women felt either very or somewhat unsafe when alone after dark compared to just 20 percent for Swedish men.
"They're scared because of the Muslim invaders," noted anti-Shariah activist Pamela Geller on her website Monday. "And yet instead of doing anything to stop the invaders, Sweden (and Europe in general) are just bringing in more of them. Europe is committing suicide before our eyes. "

These trends have emerged in a country where police are not permitted to identify the immigration status or national origin of criminal suspects out of fear that it could fan the flames of "Islamophobia" among native-born Swedes.
Brutal attack outside Stockholm
The most recent example of the type of crime that has instilled fear in Swedish women is the case of Nathalie Hager, 29, who was on her way home from a bus stop last Tuesday night when a group of Arabic-speaking men suddenly attacked her outside a church. She managed to fight her way out of a gang rape but was left badly injured.
"They beat me black and blue and cut into one of my breasts, while shouting at me that I was a Swedish whore," Hager told Fria Tider, a nationalist magazine that published her story Sunday. Only one Swedish newspaper, Nerikes Allehanda, NA, published a brief mention of the attempted gang rape with scant information.
The attack took place near a church in the picturesque town of Nora, west of Stockholm, late Tuesday night.
"They pushed me down on my stomach and dragged me by my hair up a paved hill and into an alley," she said. "I have no memories of them beating me, but my face is all blue and swollen. They also cut into one of my breasts with something that must have been a carpet knife or a razor blade, the wounds are long and narrow. I also have big black marks on my arms where they held me."
She managed to break away. While running, she saw her boyfriend approaching from 50 meters away, and at that point the men, described as between 30 and 35, fled.
WND reported last week on a growing rape crisis in Germany, including a gang of 30 young Muslim men who chased three teenage girls after taking pictures of them on their cell phones at a mall, and an assault on two schoolgirls at a public swimming pool.
Counter-culture shockwaves at pools, beaches
The wave of sexual attacks and sexual harassment at public pools and beaches in Sweden goes against a longstanding history in Sweden of women and men swimming together.
Carlqvist gives a brief historical account of the Swedish tradition that swept across Europe in the late 19th century.
"Mixed bathing in Sweden started in the small southern fishing village of Mölle. Around 1890, the 'Sin of Mölle' gained notoriety. Men and women were swimming together! Out in the open and shamelessly flaunting their striped bathing attire. It was a sensation that echoed all over Europe, and people came from everywhere to partake in the exciting new activity. Danes poured in, and even the German Emperor Wilhelm II made his way to Mölle in July 1907."
But the young men coming from the Middle East and North Africa have no exposure to such a culture, and the clash of worldviews has been like the Titanic hitting ice in the open sea.
Carlqvist describes a sort of collective cognitive dissonance in her country.
"It should come as surprise to no one that men from the Middle East and North Africa have quite a different view of women than Swedish men do. The only mystery is why Swedish politicians have got it in their heads that everyone who sets foot on Swedish soil will immediately embrace our values, our view of women and our traditions."
Bikini-clad women seen as inviting sex
The largest ethnic groups coming to Sweden are Afghan, Iraqi, Somali and Syrian – the same groups that are now coming to the U.S. as refugees, although in smaller numbers as a percentage of total population.
She said Swedish politicians may be surprised to learn that many of these foreign men think women who run around in bikinis are fair game, but they cannot admit that the difference has anything to do with being raised under Islam.
"Of course, they cannot admit – to Swedes – that this completely alien view of women has anything to do with Islam, because then they would become victims of their own claim that everyone who criticizes Islam is an 'Islamophobe,'" Carlqvist writes.
Cover-up gets harder for media to pull off
For many years, she said, it was possible to cover up the abuse, partly because the Swedish media chose to call the perpetrators "youth gangs," and never mention that they were almost always immigrants from Muslim countries.
In Malmö, for example, one of the most immigrant-heavy cities in Sweden, and where Swedes have actually been a minority since 2013, the problems at public pools started at least 15 years ago.
Carlqvist gives a detailed history of the problems at public pools in Swedish cities that have welcomed large Muslim immigrant populations.
Sweden, like France, also has a history of topless beaches.
"The attitude towards nudity in Scandinavia is very different from that in the Middle East. Sweden has many nude beaches, where men and women swim together without a stitch of clothing, without the slightest hint of sexual harassment," Carlqvist writes. "In the gender-separated changing rooms at public pools, there is no sign of shyness. Swedish men and women see it as a matter of course to shower and wash properly before getting in the pool, and a couple of decades ago stern overseers even patrolled the changing rooms to check the patrons' shower habits."
In Muslim countries, nudity is seen as extremely private, and one does not willingly take showers with others, not even with members of the same sex.
All the public pool personnel with whom Gatestone spoke confirmed that Muslim men and women shower with their underwear on, and then keep them on under their swimwear.
Many Muslim women bathe in a so-called burkini, a garment that covers the entire body, so when Muslim men see Swedish women in a bikini, many of them conclude that they must be "easy" women whom one is "allowed" to grope.
In 2015, when roughly 163,000 asylum seekers came to Sweden, the problems at public pools increased exponentially, Carlqvist reports.
More than 35,000 young people, so-called "unaccompanied refugee children," arrived – 93 percent of whom are male and claim to be 16-17 years old. To prevent idleness, many cities offer them free entrance to public pools.
It's 'not wrong in Afghanistan'
During the past few months, the number of reports of sexual assaults and harassment against women at public pools has been overwhelming. Most of the "children" are from Afghanistan, widely considered among the most dangerous places in the world for women.
When the Swedish daily Aftonbladet visited the country in 2013, 61-year-old Fatima told the paper what it is like to be a woman in Afghanistan: "What happens if we do not obey? Well, our husbands or sons beat us of course. We are their slaves."
To expect men from a culture that views women as men's slaves to behave like Swedish men is not just stupid – it is dangerous, Carlqvist said.
Mr. Azizi, the manager of a large hotel in Kabul, told Carlqvist how an average Afghan man sees sexual attacks on women:
https://www.wnd.com/2016/03/swedish-rape-crisis-boils-over-as-media-stays-silent/"What the Afghans are doing is not wrong in Afghanistan, so your rules are completely alien to them. Women stay at home in Afghanistan, and if they need to go out they are always accompanied by a man. If you want to stop Afghans from molesting Swedish girls, you need to be tough on them. Making them take classes on equality and how to treat women is pointless. The first time they behave badly, they should be given a warning, and the second time you should deport them from Sweden."
