The Trump administration’s Office for Civil Rights, part of the Health and Human Services Department, revealed they issued a notice of violation against the Maine Department of Education for violating federal Title IX regulations.
In a letter from the OCR to Democratic Maine governor Janet Mills, the OCR noted that the Maine Principals’ Association (MPA) is the governing body for youth sports in the state.
“Mike Burnham, the executive director of the MPA stated, ‘The executive order [President Trump’s Executive Order 14201] and our Maine state Human Rights Act are in conflict, and the Maine Principal’s [sic] Association will continue to follow state law as it pertains to gender identity,’” the letter pointed out.
Then the letter delineated two cases where Maine permitted boys to compete in girls’ sports:
On February 17, 2025, it was reported that Greely High, a public high school in the state of Maine, violated Title IX through the participation of a male athlete in a women’s high school track meet. On February 18-19, 2025, it was reported that Maine Coast Waldorf, a public high school in the state of Maine, violated Title IX through the participation of a male athlete in a women’s high school ski event.
The letter continued, ‘Under its leadership, MDOE is responsible for interscholastic and extracurricular activities in the state of Maine, which includes ensuring that the youth sports programs in the state’s public schools comply with federal nondiscrimination law. … Based on the MPA’s policy of allowing male athletes to compete against female athletes, OCR has determined that MDOE is in violation of federal law under Title IX.” […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
