An Illinois K-5 school’s male library director started publicly wearing female clothes Wednesday and insisting students call him “Ms. Madison Sabovik.” Until then, the former fourth-grade teacher had been known to students as Mr. Steve Sabovik.

Parents were alerted to the librarian’s impending transsexual exhibition in a letter Owen Elementary sent two days before it happened, Oct. 20. Many parents pulled their children from the elementary this week, at least temporarily.

Other parents are opting their children out of using the library. On Wednesday alone, more than 100 parents sent the school principal and district leaders emails protesting the public transition and its quick rollout, said Shannon Adcock, founder of the parent advocacy organization Awake Illinois.

Parents are unhappy the school gave them such short notice about exposing their children to inappropriate sexual information, a dad with a child in the school told The Federalist. He asked for anonymity to protect his child.

The school also sent a “talking points” memo to parents about the ongoing public exhibition, made public by Awake Illinois. Here’s a district-suggested response to “student questions or statements”: “Our LMC Director is amazing and continues to do great work here. Let’s support her [sic].”

“Our LMC [library media center] Director has always been amazing and continues to be amazing,” the talking points suggest as a “response to parent questions or statements.” “I fully support the work that they [sic] continue to do here at Owen.”

U.S. intelligence officials appear “clueless” about an alleged campaign money-laundering scheme on behalf of Democrat candidates now the subject of several lawsuits and soon lawmaker subpoenas, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson tells The Federalist. 

For the better part of the past two years, the Wisconsin Republican has been raising alarm bells about alleged “smurfing” activities through ActBlue, Democrats’ online donation platform that has taken in millions of dollars for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. As Johnson notes in a recent column in The Daily Caller, the practice appears to involve hundreds, even thousands, of low-dollar donations made in the names of individuals without their knowledge. Some suspect the money is coming from wealthy foreign actors looking to affect U.S. elections — especially next month’s presidential election. 

As Just the News first reported, Wisconsin conservative strategist Mark Block, who claims he’s a victim of the alleged scheme, names ActBlue in a recent racketeering lawsuit charging that unnamed participants have violated the Wisconsin Organized Control Act. 

‘Straw Donations’

On Thursday, Johnson and fellow Badger State Republican Rep. Bryan Steil sent letters to the U.S. Treasury Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) seeking a classified briefing on “potential election interference through fraudulent donations by foreign actors.”

Johnson, ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and Steil, chairman of the House Administration Committee, requested Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to ActBlue. They also requested that all three agencies provide classified briefings on the matter.

Steil’s committee has been investigating

A heavily debunked Atlantic hit piece gave Kamala Harris the pretext to justify political violence against former President Donald Trump in a Wednesday afternoon address from the vice president’s official residence in Washington, D.C.

Harris, without an iota of evidence, told the American people that if Trump were to become president again, he would create a dictatorial, Adolf Hitler-esque regime. That exact rhetoric is part of a larger pattern of priming Democrat voters for violent resistance to another Trump presidency. It has been most recently fueled by an Atlantic hit piece that relied on unnamed sources and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, well known for his disdain of Trump, to smear the former president of being a “fascist” and wishing for the kind of generals Hitler had.

“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds-of-thousands of Americans,” Harris said. “All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is. This is a window into who Donald Trump really is, from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the Oval Office and in the Situation Room.”

Kelly’s allegations about the Hitler comments came, conveniently, five-and-a-half years after they allegedly occurred and just two weeks before a presidential election. To put it bluntly, Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., said, “John Kelly is full of sh-t, and I have the receipts.”
