Transgender Women's Soccer Player Outed On Free Kick | Babylon Bee

"House Democrats unanimously voted this week against legislation to build a new women’s history museum on the National Mall. The reason was an amendment that limited the exhibits to biological women to the exclusion of transgender figures. The museum failed 204-216 as House Democrats hoped that they could still secure a museum including transgender figures once they retake power after the midterm elections.

"The amendment drafted by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., states in part, “The Museum shall be dedicated to preserving, researching, and presenting the history, achievements and lived experiences of biological women in the United States.”

"It further mandated that the museum would not depict “any biological male as female.”

"The vote was notable after the release of the DNC “autopsy” report that flagged how transgender and identity politics contributed to the defeat in the last election.

"The report specifically noted the success of Trump’s “Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you” ad. The report noted that “If the Vice President would not change her position — and she did not — then there was nothing which would have worked as a response.”

"The fact that this was a unanimous vote among Democratic members is particularly notable and suggests that transgender issues will remain a rallying point for the Democrats.

"Democratic members called the exclusion a “poison pill” amendment.

"In the meantime, transgender issues continue to occupy the courts with a major decision by the Colorado Supreme Court this week that ordered Colorado’s largest provider of gender-affirming care for young people to resume medical treatments like puberty blockers and hormone therapy.

"That puts  Children’s Hospital Colorado in direct conflict with the Department of Health and Human Services, which has moved to block federal support for institutions providing such care.

"Justice William Wood III wrote that “We conclude that the actual immediate and irreparable harm to petitioners outweighs the speculative harm CHC may face if the federal government further acts against it.”

"In his dissent, Justice Brian Boatright said that this was hardly a speculative matter, but “a decision driven by the direct threat to the viability of the entire hospital.” . . . More...

Let’s Remember the Democrats’ Lies |

 The American Spectator

"I know Trump never misses an opportunity to point out that Joe Biden spent his days sleeping through official events and had no idea what he was signing or saying. And that’s fine. But I do miss hearing him remind people that Democrats lied about the end of democracy. As far as I know, there is still a separation of powers, there are still elections, and citizens still vote freely. And, for the moment, it doesn’t seem that Trump is throwing opposition leaders into gas chambers.

"There’s something funny about the way the Democratic Party has evolved. It has become a party empty of ideas and stuffed with slogans. Sometimes those slogans are highly effective during election campaigns, but after the election, if they lose, they dissolve like rain into the sea because they have no ideological identity whatsoever beyond the woke catchphrases they repeat like monkeys, along with four or five ideas that seem randomly generated by a monkey at a keyboard with ChatGPT’s help. You know the script: Trump is a dictator, Republicans are fascists, and give peace a chance.

"In the end, it all amounted to nothing, which is why it’s so easy for people to forget. But not for me. They lied to everyone when they claimed Trump would destroy the most important democracy in the Western world. They lied, and so did their European social democratic allies, who repeated that nonsense in every forum while trying — unsuccessfully — to influence the vote." . . .More...

Kamala Harris’ Dangerous Brainstorm

. . . "They are not merely bad ideas, they constitute a clear and present danger to the republic. Indeed, they suggest that the Democratic Party can’t be trusted with real power until it is divested of the radical leftists who now control its agenda. All of the braying about “our democracy” notwithstanding, it could hardly be more obvious that the Democrats want to eliminate the constitutional foundations of the Republic so they can establish one-party rule. This is why Harris speculates about what we “need to do” about the Electoral College. She and her fellow travelers believe that it impedes genuine democracy, but obviously don’t grasp the consequences of dumping it." . . .More...

The Biden Administration's Contribution to the October 7 Massacre

 Clarice Feldman - American Thinker

 "In a most thoughtful post, Newt Gingrich said he was convinced we are on “the edge of historic victory” as a result of the “historic coalition” President Trump formed."

"Did you imagine for a moment that the notion that the most openly diverse, democratic country in the Middle East, which goes to unheard-of lengths to protect citizens in enemy territory, was an "apartheid, genocider” sprung up spontaneously? That this defamation arose all on its own through large grassroots movements? Of course, this is not how so many libels against Israel took root. 

"In an extensively documented report, the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives found that the Biden Administration sent funds to NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) that used them to destabilize the Israeli government and fund anti-American and anti-Israeli activities here. These efforts, unsurprisingly, have generated a wave of anti-semitism in the U.S. and have certainly encouraged Hamas’ belief that the Netanyahu government was weakened enough that it could conduct the barbaric actions of October 7 without being stopped or being subject to an appropriate military response. The Committee Report details that these movements were never organic. They were well-funded, mostly by U.S. taxpayers. They did not spring up spontaneously. You and I paid for this through the underhanded, vile Biden administration. Everything was financed by the U.S. government funneling cash through tax-exempt, underregulated organizations." . . .

. . . I think he’s right, and, if so, the President managed this victory despite the many millions Obama and Biden pumped into Iran and into those NGOs which wanted a weakened Israel, a hogtied U.S., and a diminution of U.S. support for Israel, with the measurable increase in anti-semitism being just a perfectly foreseeable bonus to them."    More...

Joe Biden had a stroke?

 Mike McDaniel - American Thinker

Since Democrats have no further use for Joe Biden, a few of them have sort of admitted that he wasn’t all there. They can’t go all the way and admit he was demented, even when he ran for president. That would directly implicate them in perpetuating the most egregious political fraud in American history, and some statutes of limitation haven’t expired. Sure, Normal Americans knew it all along, but never expected honesty from Democrats and weren’t disappointed.

"While spousal loyalty is a virtue, Jill Biden has steadfastly refused to acknowledge the obvious until now—sort of:  

"Anyway, it turns out that Dr. Jill wasn’t so blown away by her husband’s performance that night. In an interview with CBS News, she admitted that she thought her husband was having a stroke while it was happening." . . .

. . . "The entire debate was embarrassing, as were the reactions of Democrats who had to pretend they were shocked!  Shocked, they told us. Why, they had no idea Joe was so far gone! They’d never seen the slightest indication of mental or physical decline! What an unnoticed and unforeseeable tragedy! Most embarrassing was Jill praising Joe as though he were an infant who managed to use the bathroom for himself for the first time: “You even wiped yourself, Joe!”

"That epic, political suicide forced Democrats to acknowledge reality. The result was the disaster that was Kamala Harris.

"Americans of goodwill wondered why Biden’s family ever allowed him to run for President, and why they let him continue, but they also knew the truth: he was nothing more than a doddering, pliable figurehead. His handlers ran the country. Yet unknown is whether Jill had any role in handling Joe, or whether the handlers merely manipulated her too." . . . More

The Newsom Nightmare: Why California’s Elites Refuse to Face Reality

  The Daily Signal and Victor Davis Hanson 

 "Amid the 2026 California gubernatorial race and the Los Angeles mayoral election, Democratic candidates seem determined to talk about anything except the problems facing the Golden State—an inadequate government response to the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, the highest income and gas taxes in the nation, and record-breaking homelessness.

Why? "For nearly two decades, Democrats have controlled almost every major center of power in California: the governor’s office, the state Legislature, and the state Supreme Court. "There is no one else to blame but themselves, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

No 'Autopsy' Is Going To Fix Democrats' Raging Anti-Americanism

 The Federalist

A real autopsy from the party would have concluded that voters rejected Democrats in the last election because of their anti-American policies.

"It was the anticlimax of the year when last week Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin finally released his party’s “autopsy” analyzing what led to its spectacular failure in 2024. It’s almost 200 pages long, but I’ll save you some time: There’s nothing in it about the Democrat Party’s fundamentally anti-American positions and therefore no indication that Democrats are interested in adapting to voters; rather, they’re still dead-set on physically eliminating their opposition.

"The report’s debut was bad enough. It only came months and months after prominent Democrats, including Kamala Harris (haha), called for its release. Then, when Martin did push it out, he warned everyone in advance that it was worthless and proceeded to annotate it to hell and back so as to make it painfully clear that he was not a co-signer of the document. “This document reflects the views of the author, not the DNC,” reads the top of every single page of the report. “The DNC was not provided with the underlying sourcing, interviews, or supporting data for many of the assertions contained herein and therefore cannot independently verify the claims presented.”

"To be fair to Martin and DNC leadership, it really is a woefully inadequate assessment of not just the 2024 election but the entire state of the Democrat Party. It spends most of its time chronicling results of past elections and contrasting Kamala’s performance with down-ballot candidates who were able to distinguish themselves from the party at large. The most useful portion comes on page 73, where the report suggests only a change in position would have blunted an attack from the Trump campaign.

"Well, yeah, except Kamala did change her position on several key issues, including energy production, immigration, and health care. And she did it with little to no explanation at all. The problem wasn’t that she refused to morph into something she wasn’t. It was that her boss was a terrible president and as his vice president, she bore every bit of responsibility for it. Just because she might have said the opposite of what she had done right up until it was time to get elected didn’t mean voters would buy it." . . .More...

Watch How a Hijab-Wearing AOC Is Treated by a Muslim Male Audience as She Tries Pandering to Them During Eid Celebration in New York City

While AOC was preaching “solidarity” in her hijab, the male-only crowd ignored her and spoke over her: pic.twitter.com/kyiOo9XZ2p

A Muslim male crowd gave AOC a rude welcome as she attempted to pander to them at a prominent Muslim holiday celebration in New York City.

"As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, AOC was seen wearing a hijab at an Eid Celebration in New York City, which was attended by Muslim men.

"Addressing a crowd on Wednesday, AOC called on people to “renew our commitments to one another” so together they “can bring light into the darkness.”

"Despite claiming to be a feminist who wants to dismantle the patriarchy, the hijab is widely seen as a symbol of female repression intended to prevent Islamic women from attracting the attention of men.

"Despite AOC’s pandering, the Muslim audience was unmoved.

"Instead of listening, the attendees ignored what she was saying and started speaking among themselves.

"In addition, the background noise completely muffled her speech.

"So much disrespect for AOC." . . . More...

Mr. President, Give The Iranian Regime Nothing

 Issues & Insights  

"In fact, that might be the best outcome of all possibilities. Exterminating the nest of some of the most wicked people on Earth would be a righteous act of humanity."

"If President Donald Trump is considering handing over billions to the terrorists of Tehran and leaving them in control of the Strait of Hormuz, as some news dispatches have indicated, he will have committed a blunder. The only choice they should be offered is to give up everything or lose it all to the almighty forces of the U.S. and Israeli militaries.

"If not, the Iranian threat will never be eliminated, only weakened for a time before returning to its demonic affairs, leaving a mess for someone else to clean up. Because Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had the courage to do what should have been done more than 45 years ago, the regime is staggering, and no lifeline should be tossed its way.

"Various reports indicate that the regime is unwilling to give up control of the Strait of Hormuz, wants as much as $120 billion in frozen assets released (and a $12 billion payment just to continue talks), is refusing to hand over its highly enriched uranium, and is demanding reparations and an end to the sanctions. It’s hard to know what are concocted narratives and what can be fully relied on. But if Trump is entertaining any of these conditions, he is contemplating a grave error.

"The president has no choice but to take a hard line as if the regime were the Nazis in 1945. The Allies then required Germany to “surrender unconditionally” the entirety of its “forces on land, sea and in the air who are at this date under German control.” Anything less would empower the depraved remnant in Tehran to start the cycle again.

"Then the trials must begin. Just as the Nazis were held accountable for their crimes, the remaining “leaders” of the regime must be brought to justice for the terrorism they’ve wrought abroad and the offenses, including tens of thousands of murders, they’ve committed at home. The best that any could hope for should be house arrest for life in a country far from the Middle East, which they should prefer over the obliteration they should be told they will receive if they don’t submit. We are dealing with tyrants, butchers of humans whose claim to absolute power justifies their evil acts. Extending mercy endangers hundreds of millions." . . .More... 

From Biden's mind and heart came these pleas to assassinate President Trump

 

'Dangerous': Biden delivers most 'divisive, hate-filled and fallacious' speech

Biden’s Toxic Nightmare of a Speech Made Americans Miss Trump  "President Joe Biden has always been a mean, self-serving, demagogic hack. Now he's a mean, self-serving, demagogic hack with clear cognitive issues, an extreme hatred for half of the country, a willingness to weaponize his government against his political opponents, and an easy fluency with lies. All of these dangerous elements were on obvious display during his malicious State of the Union address.

"Biden came off as an unstable, disturbed man who used a speech meant to be a unifying discussion on the state of the country as a launching pad for his re-election campaign, complete with vicious attacks on his predecessor and general election opponent, President Trump, and the tens of millions of Americans who support him. A ferocious attack on America First, the speech was also a tone-deaf celebration of Biden's historically catastrophic record.

"It was reminiscent of his September 2022 speech in Philadelphia, which was marked by a deep red, almost demonic backdrop and dark threats about going to war with "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans [who] represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic." That unhinged language was resurrected in his State of the Union, reminding us that he has no intention of changing his destructive policy or rhetorical direction." . ..More...

George Floyd: the MPD maintains the lie

 Mike McDaniel - American Thinker  

"But their trials were political farces with predetermined verdicts, carried out under threat of mob violence."

All this for nothing? Schumer, Pelosi: all Democrats

"Katie Blackwell is the high-ranking Minneapolis Police Department administrator who arguably perjured herself in her testimony in the Derek Chauvin murder trial in the death of George Floyd. With the resignation of MPD Police Chief Brian O’Hara for alleged sexual improprieties, Blackwell finds herself acting chief.

"Many Americans recall the photo of Chauvin, apparently kneeling on Floyd’s neck. What the camera angle of that photo didn’t reveal was that he was actually kneeling on Floyd’s shoulder and upper back, a technique taught, sanctioned, and used for decades by the MPD. In fact, the local coroner determined the technique had nothing to do with Floyd’s death:  

On May 26, 2020, Senior Assistant Hennepin County Attorney Patrick Lofton documented a virtual meeting via Microsoft Teams on the cause of Floyd’s death. Hennepin County Medical Examiner Andrew Baker told the participants, who included four FBI agents, ‘The autopsy revealed no physical evidence suggesting that Mr. Floyd died of asphyxiation. Mr. Floyd did not exhibit signs of petechiae, damage to his airways or thyroid, brain bleeding, bone injuries or internal bleeding.’ In sum, there was no evidence of a homicide.

"Under intense racial and political pressure, he changed his tune to cover Floyd’s actual cause of death from fatal levels of illicit drugs and internal damage from decades of drug abuse. Floyd was a violent, convicted felon who once held a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach during a home invasion robbery.

"Despite no fewer than 34 MPD officers testifying that the restraint technique was taught, routinely used, and MPD-sanctioned, and despite photographic and textual evidence from MPD training manuals, photographs of officers applying it in training, and even a photograph of Blackwell applying it in the field, Blackwell testified that the technique was never taught or sanctioned. That testimony was necessary to provide cover for a pre-determined verdict.

"Liz Collin of Alpha News produced the film “The Fall of Minneapolis,” which exposed Blackwell’s perjury. Blackwell sued Alpha News and Collin for defamation. It didn’t go well for Blackwell:" . . . More...

 There are some videos that stop you dead in your tracks and have you wondering what country you’re looking at.

"This is one of those clips.

When you first watch the video, you’d think this was some filthy, chaotic scene from Bangladesh.

But sadly, this isn’t Bangladesh.

It’s Canal Street in New York City.

Yep, the Big Apple looks downright rotten, folks. And the kicker is that this is basically a no-go zone for Americans.

And before the “refugee welcome” crowd starts screaming about how America was a nation shaped by immigrants. We know about the olden days. But the Ellis Island era worked because there was an expectation of assimilation. People came here, brought parts of their culture with them, and still understood they were joining something that already existed.

That’s not what this clip looks like.

This looks like a city that has stopped enforcing any American standards whatsoever. It looks like an illegal street economy operating out in the open, and it also looks like counterfeit goods, sidewalk chaos, territorial vendor control, illegals, foreigners, and Americans citizens being chased away from streets in their own country.

And all of that is a big problem.

Because there’s a big difference between “cultural flavor” and filthy, rage-fueled public disorder." . . .

Joe Biden Sues DOJ to Block Release of His Memoir Interviews (UPDATED)

 Biden and Bruce: America's best and brightest! Probably shouldn't trust Bruce's political judgement, you think?

Headline USA (Springsteen update)

"Former President Joe Biden has sued the Justice Department to prevent it from releasing transcripts and audio of interviews he conducted with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, for his 2017 memoir.   

"The DOJ obtained the interview materials in 2023 as part of then-Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden for mishandling classified documents. Hur eventually declined to press charges, in part because he thought Biden would present himself to a jury as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

"Since the investigation is now closed, the House Judiciary Committee and the Heritage Foundation have both sought the transcripts and audio of Biden’s interviews with Zwonitzer. But Biden said in his lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court, that disclosing those materials would violate his privacy.

"The conversations reflected in these audio recordings and transcripts were part of the writing process for President Biden’s 2017 memoir, Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose, in which he recounted the politically consequential and personally painful year of his life that began on Thanksgiving in 2014,” Biden’s lawsuit says.

“The public and private dimensions of President Biden’s life have always been intertwined, but perhaps never more so than during that difficult year. President Biden and Zwonitzer recorded their conversations for use in writing Promise Me, Dad, and they both understood that they were speaking privately.”

"Even if Biden’s lawsuit is ultimately unsuccessful, it’s unclear how much material remains from his interviews with Zwonitzer. That’s because the ghostwriter destroyed recordings once he found out that Hur was investigating Biden, as Bloomberg revealed in June 2024.

"Indeed, according to a heavily redacted transcript of the FBI’s interview with Zwonitzer, agents accused him of obstruction because he destroyed recordings. But because of the heavy redactions of the FBI’s interview transcript, it’s unclear how exactly the line of questioning went, or what Zwonitzer destroyed.

"Hur said in a February 2024 report that he didn’t charge Zwonitzer, either, because “the ghostwriter offered plausible, innocent reasons for why he deleted the recordings.” . . .
