Did Planet Fitness Cancel a Woman’s Membership for Reporting ‘Trans’ Child Assaulter?

Planet Fitness canceled a woman’s membership — apparently forging her signature to do so — and called the police after the woman expressed discomfort that a large male was using female shower facilities. That “transgender”-identifying male is reportedly Christopher Beaulieu, who is a serial criminal and registered sex offender.

The established facts, based on Judy Walcott's testimony, are that Planet Fitness staff not only canceled her membership but later called police on her, claiming trespass after she requested a refund for her unused month of membership. The mentally ill man whose use of female facilities reportedly triggered the incident is tentatively identified as Beaulieu, a pedophile.

Judy Walcott has long been a member at a Concord, N.H., Planet Fitness, but had a shock on April 11 when she saw a man in the locker room's shower area. "I was shaking. Like I was actually trembling because it freaked me out that bad," she told Fox News. She ... went to the front desk to report the man. The employee at the front said there was nothing staff could possibly do about the man in the women's room because it was company policy to allow him there. The employee didn't even bother to head to the locker room to assess the situation.

A few days later, Walcott spoke with a different staff member and explained her safety concerns. This employee merely accused Walcott of being "transphobic" and ignored her complaint. ... Later that same day, the gym's manager called Walcott and told her that her membership was now canceled because of a "policy violation" but did not explain which policy.

Walcott later found that the gym had charged her for another month despite the cancellation. She did find a document requesting cancellation of her membership that was to be effective May 16 and listed "Nondiscrimination Trans" in the comment section. Walcott did not authorize the document, though it showed her signature, and she says the signature must have been forged. ...
...
The New Hampshire Registration of Criminal Offenders database shows that Beaulieu has a 2011 conviction for felonious sexual assault of a victim somewhere between 13 and 15 years of age. He also has a slew of misdemeanors stretching back to 2009 and four felony assault convictions between 2011 and 2012. ... If this is the man who was using Planet Fitness's female locker room, it's disgusting that gym employees are protecting him.

Someone needs to found a gym called, "We Are Not Woke-Crazy".

Border czar Tom Homan tells Texas Democrat to 'bring it' after her chilling threat to jail ICE agents

Border czar Tom Homan issued a fiery warning to a Texas Democrat after she promised to turn an ICE detention facility into a prison camp for former federal immigration agents and "American Zionists."

Speaking on "Jesse Watters Primetime," Homan refused to back down from Texas House candidate Maureen Galindo’s comments, telling her to "bring it."

"You know, she's obviously an idiot. Bottom line is, bring it. I'm sick of the threats from some of these out of touch Democrats," Homan said Thursday.

A certain large city in Denver needs to hear this, "'Bring it!' invitation".

Nolte: ‘Supergirl’ Actress Continues to Implode with Ridicule of ‘Christian Dads’

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2026/05/22/nolte-supergirl-actress-continues-to-implode-with-ridicule-of-christian-dads/

Public relations genius and Supergirl star Milly Alcock has decided alienating, insulting, and antagonizing the mostly male superhero fanbase is the way to go.
...
Back in March, this delicate, little, entitled princess,  who currently stars in a major HBO show and will soon arrive on 4,000 screens as the title character in the $250 million Supergirl, actually played the victim:

Milly Alcock told Vanity Fair in a new interview that she’s aware she’ll face backlash over leading Warner Bros. “Supergirl” simply because she’s playing a female superhero. ...

“It definitely made me aware that simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on,” Alcock said. “We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies. I can’t really stop them. I can only be myself.”

...
Let’s all bring out the violins for the 25-year-old millionaire living a dream life. Worse still, she’s not only LARPing as a victim, but as — lol — some kind of trailblazer.

Lynda Carter would like a word, child.
...
There was no backlash against the Wonder Woman series 50 years ago. No backlash against Ripley in Alien and Aliens over 40 years ago. Linda Hamilton? Pam Grier? Buffy? All of them loved, embraced, and are now iconic.

Anyway, after starting this fight back in March, Little Miss Entitled-Fake-Trailblazer is now responding to the criticism she desperately sought by ridiculing “Christian Dads.”

“I guess women know that this is just how it’s always been, unfortunately,” Alcock said of the criticism over her retarded comments back in March. “And it’s from a lot of people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts. Or someone’s name and then ‘Dad of four, Christian,’ which is hilarious to me. But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? If you’re pissing the right kind of people off, you’re doing OK.”

1. The first Supergirl comic was published in 1958 (I had to look it up). The strong female hero Wilma Deering was introduced in the first Buck Rogers novel in 1928. In the book, Wilma assumes leadership of her band when Buck was captured and after a time led his rescue. Strong female heroes have been accepted in US cultures for at least a century.

2. Alienating a large percentage of your potential audience is almost never wise. Ask the Ditzy Tricks how bashing GWB worked for them, and ask Kathy the Griffin how her Trump-Head stunt worked out for her.

DOJ Charges 15 Over $90 Million Minnesota Fraud Schemes

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-charges-15-in-90-million-minnesota-fraud-schemes-6034048?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport&src_src=partner&src_cmp=BonginoReport

Criminal charges have been filed against 15 accused fraudsters in Minnesota, involving more than $90 million in taxpayers’ dollars, federal officials announced on May 21 at a news conference in Minneapolis.

“Today, we are holding scammers accountable who ripped off the American taxpayer and harmed those deserving legitimate assistance from these programs,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.

According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the 15 defendants charged under the so-called Minnesota Health Care Fraud Takedown initiative include owners of child care centers as well as multiple Medicaid providers, including those involved in the two largest Medicaid fraud cases for which charges have ever been brought in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
 
“These alleged con artists stole taxpayer dollars while providing substandard care for children and abandoning at least one Medicaid recipient as they passed away,” Blanche said, listing some of the worst offenses alleged in the charges.

This is Medicaid fraud - Federally funded but state oversight. In this case, AGAIN, lack of oversight (Wink! Wink!), akin to the "Feeding Our Future" lack of oversight (Wink! Wink!) by the State of Minnesota.

Trump's and Vance's anti-fraud effort is looking like trying to cleaning out the Augean stables without a river to help with the clean-out.
