Is This the End of Women’s Sports?

"PRAGER UIf we don’t believe that biological men have a significant advantage over biological women in sports, then why did women’s sports ever need to be created in the first place? Let’s stop fooling ourselves."


"I have more posts that include Selina Soule, the girl in the above video:

  • The Destruction of Women’s Sports No Big Deal… To the Left (March 2019)
  • Girls’ Civil Rights Violated By Trangender “Athlete” (August 2019)
  • The Trans War On Women #FairPlay (May 2020)

"1995 NIKE AD – From youth sports to collegiate athletics to the Olympics, female athletes in every sport and at every level deserve a safe and fair playing field."

"What about this “intersex” charge? Does this then change our position as to being allowed into a female sport? No. XY is still present, as well as high levels of testosterone during puberty giving a life-long advantage over other [genuine] females:

Along this same line:..Oh-So-Tolerant Leftist Sends NASTY Hate Message to Riley Gaines   "This is how the Left treats women who don't toe the line on the transgender issue. Riley Gaines has been an outspoken critic of men in women's sports and spaces, and makes no apology for it.  

"So, naturally, the oh-so-tolerant Left can't stand her.

"And they think they're justified in sending disgusting, threatening messages like this because of it (NSFW language warning):" Read the words sent to Riley Gaines yourself at the link. Meanwhile here is Riley's reply:  Meanwhile, I've been getting hundreds of messages like this one for saying these boxers are male. So tolerant, right? What's false will never become reality just because it's accepted or encouraged by society."  The language leftists use on her.

Kam is a 'cheapfake' sub for Joe's bait-and-switch 2020 con

 Victor Davis Hanson   

. . ."On CBS, she egged on the 2020 protests that had already turned violent with deaths, law enforcement injuries, arson, and mass looting — despite the pathetic efforts of partisan fact-checkers to claim otherwise. Harris gushed of the turmoil: "They're not going to stop. This is a movement, I'm telling you. They're not going to stop, and everyone beware, because they're not going to stop.

 

Does my look intimidate you?

"Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election through a successful tripartite subterfuge.

"One, Biden never really campaigned. His handlers rightly assumed that the more the public and the media saw a debilitated Biden in the flesh, the less they would want him as president.

"So, the Biden campaign used the COVID lockdowns to ensure that Biden stayed safe in his basement office.

"Biden strategically distanced himself from disinterested journalists, using COVID as an excuse to avoid public appearances. It allowed him to run a 19th-century, front-porch sort of virtual campaign.

"In his place, the liberal media, Democratic grandees, and the billionaire donor class served as Biden campaign surrogates — vastly outspending, out-advertising, and out-lawyering the underfunded incumbent Trump.

"Second, again using COVID as a pretext, well-funded Democratic legal teams altered the voting laws during early 2020 in key swing states to encourage non-Election Day voting.

"For the first time, majorities in many key states voted by mail-in/absentee ballots and during weeks of early voting.

"We now know why the left was so motivated to push through radical balloting changes that were otherwise impossible prior to 2020 but have been mostly institutionalized since.

"Non-Election Day ballots outnumbered Election Day ballots. They were far more likely to be cast by Democrats. And as the number of such ballots soared, the traditional rejection rate of non-Election Day ballots prior to 2020 fell — even as registrars were swamped.

"Once obscure terms such as ballot harvesting and ballot curing became mainstream.

"Ballot deadlines were extended. There was lax enforcement of incorrect ballot names and addresses or auditing the registrars' rolls." . . .

The Hour of Israeli Leadership has Arrived

 Caroline Glick

"As [Obama] saw things, it was up to the U.S. to make amends to Iran by changing the way it operated in the Middle East. To accomplish this goal, Obama began realigning the U.S. towards Iran and its Sunni allies in the Muslim Brotherhood at the expense of Israel and the U.S.’s traditional Sunni Arab allies."

"Hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his address before the Joint Houses of Congress, Kuwait’s al Jarida newspaper reported that Iran has provided Hezbollah with electromagnetic pulse weapons.

"Citing a source from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Quds Force, the newspaper reported that the devices now in Hezbollah’s hands are capable of neutralizing Israel’s radars and communications systems. The IRGC also reportedly provided Hezbollah with drones with electromagnetic pulse warheads and EMP bombs. Some of the EMP projectiles can be launched from stationary launchers and others from drones and can reach targets deep inside of Israel, according to the Kuwaiti report.

"The implications of the report are stark. The destructive power of an EMP attack is equal to that of a nuclear attack. Given Iran’s nuclear advances there is every reason to believe that Iran has developed EMP capabilities, and would transfer them to Hezbollah. Iran’s now open threat of an EMP attack against Israel is nothing less that a threat to annihilate Israel. And since the threat was made in the midst of Iran’s multi-front war against Israel, it has to be taken seriously, with appropriate urgency.

"During the course of his address to Congress, Netanyahu described the existential threat Iran poses to both Israel and the United States and laid out his vision for contending with it.

"In his words, “America and Israel today can forge a security alliance in the Middle East to counter the growing Iranian theat.

“ 'All countries that are in peace with Israel and all those countries who will make peace with Israel should be invited to join this alliance. We saw a glimpse of that potential alliance on April 14th. Led by the United States, more than half a dozen nations worked alongside Israel to help neutralize hundreds of missiles and drones launched by Iran against us….

“The new alliance I envision would be a natural extension of the groundbreaking Abraham Accords. Those Accords saw peace forged between Israel and four Arab countries, and they were supported by Republicans and Democrats alike.

“ 'I have a name for this new alliance. I think we should call it: The Abraham Alliance.”

"On the face of things, since both Republicans and Democrats have played a role in forging the alliance – President Donald Trump through the Abraham Accords, and President Joe Biden by organizing the Arab states in support of intercepting Iran’s missiles and drones shot against Israel on April 14th – Netanyahu’s vision ought to really attract support from both sides of the aisle. The problem is that Trump and Biden view their regional alliance as a means to achieve opposite ends." . . .

For Kamala Harris ‘Weird’ Is the New ‘Deplorable’

David Catron; The American Spectator.
"But Harris may not be able to rise above schoolyard taunts. On inflation, for example, an AP article reported that she has never discussed the topic in the speeches she has made since she was installed at the top of Democratic presidential ticket . . ."

"One of the worst political pratfalls by any recent presidential candidate was Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” speech in September of 2016. At the time, most Democrats and their legacy media partners openly agreed with her assessment of Donald Trump and his supporters. When the targets of that snide slander sent her back to Chappaqua, it dawned on some of these geniuses that insulting the customer is a losing strategy. Most failed to learn the lesson, however, including the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee for 2024. Vice President Kamala Harris, with no apparent sense of irony, has taken to calling her Republican opponents “weird.”

"One would think that Harris, whose bizarre word salads have made her something of a laughing stock, would avoid the term “weird.” Yet she uses it to describe Republicans at every opportunity. Predictably, as Dave Rubin documents, this puerile taunt has been parroted by a long list of Democrats and talking heads. And they have by no means restricted their insults to Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. Democratic operative Max Burns writes in The Hill that Trump’s choice of Vance as his running mate reveals what he imagines is a profound insight about the former president and his supporters: “It’s reminding millions of voters that the MAGA movement is a clown car packed with off-putting weirdos.” In 2020, this “clown car” carried 74 million voters—8 million more than Barack Obama carried in 2012.

"This is why New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman describes this schoolyard name-calling as “the dumbest message Democrats could seize on right now.” These “weirdos” are the working-class voters who have endured the most pain from the economic policies of the Biden-Harris administration. They are the people struggling to pay for groceries, gasoline and rent. They are the young couples who can’t afford to buy a house because the median price of an existing home is at a record high and mortgage rates have skyrocketed. This is bad news for Harris and Democrats in general because these working class voters may well decide who wins the upcoming election. As political scientist Ruy Teixeira writes in the Liberal Patriot . . ."

Now this was weird: Of Kamala’s Coconuts, Venn Diagrams, and Yellow School Buses  "Lies come back to bite you."  

. . ."Now to Harris: Besides being very correctly attacked for her shameful immorality in entering public life, her extremely woke record in California politics, and her failed 2020 presidential campaign, Harris also has been mocked repeatedly for several things — primarily her cackling and her word salads.

"I have written elsewhere that we now have moved beyond the introductions and honeymoon, and it is time to focus for the next three months on 12 extreme-left policies and issues that lie at the core of her entire political identity." . . .

Don’t Fall For ‘Operation Demoralize’

Legal Insurrection  . . ."What is going on is something we have referred to in the past as Operation Demoralize.

"I believe that Republicans and Trump supporters, based on the feedback I’m getting, are getting very demoralized over the adeptness of the Democrats and the media at creating a completely fictitious narrative. Within two weeks, [Kamala] went from the worst vice president ever to the future of the country. . .

"Affect of the media, I think people don’t appreciate as much because everybody thinks, well, we’ve got a more free and open internet, conservatives have websites. Just look at a website called Memeorandum, on each of these points that are negative for Republicans, you have dozens and dozens of left-leaning and mainstream websites creating this narrative. And it’s getting people very demoralized because they don’t see the opposite.

"The only thing I can say is, and if you go to our website, we have a tag called Operation Demoralize because it happens every single election.

"They create a narrative that it’s over, that the Democrat’s going to win, that it’s hopeless for Republicans to do anything, that the public is moving against [you]. And we know from election results that’s not true."  . . .

Add to that is to nail a group of RINO Republicans to say this party cannot keep insiders who "know better":   . . ."Adam Kinzinger, Stephanie Grisham, Geoff Duncan, Joe Walsh are just a few of the Trump haters who have endorsed Kamala Harris.

Here’s the list of the other toxic RINOs who have endorsed Kamala Harris:

‘Momala’ Exposed: Dad’s Writing 5 Years Ago Revealed Kamala as a Vicious, Petty Bully, Now Doc Has Resurfaced

 The Gateway Pundit   "An account of the terrors of working for Vice President Kamala Harris during the days she was a U.S. senator has resurfaced.

"Terry McAteer, whose son worked briefly for Harris in a long-ago summer internship, wrote an op-ed for The Union in 2019 when Harris was in the midst of her failed campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"This is not exactly a startling revelation.

"In 2021, as Harris’s staff was heading for the exit one after the other, Politico wrote a piece describing the vice president’s office as a hotbed of dysfunction.

“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment,” Politico quoted what it said was a “person with direct knowledge of how Harris’ office is run.”

“It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s***,” the person said.

"That has not stopped some from gushing over Harris, including Hollywood elites like Drew Barrymore.

"During an April appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Harris was raved over by the celebrity host, who leaned into a nickname the vice president’s step children created as a play on Kamala: Momala."

Palestinians ❤ Hamas

 Gatestone Institute

"It is obvious why Abbas has not condemned the October 7 massacres against Israelis: he respects the "great" leader of the murderers and rapists and has even observed a day of mourning for the killing of Haniyeh. If you are so fond of the slain Hamas mass-murderer, it shows that you support the atrocities of October 7."

Pictured: Abbas (R) and Haniyeh in Gaza City, on April 5, 2007. 

  • By hailing Haniyeh as a "great leader," Abbas and his Palestinian Authority cohorts are sending a message to all Palestinians that the murderous Hamas leader is their role model.

  • [T]he Biden-Harris administration and those who continue to talk about the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.... must be reminded that Haniyeh, who is being praised by Abbas and the PA as a "great leader," belongs to a group that has long been waging a Jihad (holy war) to murder Jews and destroy Israel – and that does not have the slightest intention of being "revitalized."

  • Abbas and other Palestinian Authority leaders have once again demonstrated their preference to ally with Islamist terror groups such as Hamas rather than to secure a brighter future for their own people. Abbas and the PA have also once again served as a reminder that they share the same goal as Hamas: glorify terrorism and destroy Israel.

The World Is On Fire Thanks to Biden and Harris

 Jeff Crouere, Townhall

" Along with creating instability throughout the world, the Biden/Harris administration has allowed our southern border to be invaded by undocumented migrants from 177 of the 193 nations in the world."


"When President Donald Trump left office, there was peace throughout the world. Today, there are ongoing wars in several regions of the world and other conflicts could escalate into war at any time.

"While Trump was President, Russia did not invade any countries, in contrast to what happened during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations.

"Obviously, Russian President Vladimir Putin noticed a vast difference once Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took over. Immediately, the United States military made a dramatic turn towards woke policies, which contributed to a huge decline in recruitment.

"In August of 2021, the United States demonstrated tremendous weakness during the withdrawal of our military forces from Afghanistan. The debacle resulted in the death of 13 American military heroes and billions of dollars in military equipment left behind for the use of the Taliban terrorist regime.  

"In addition, Biden and Harris abandoned the massive Bagram air base in Afghanistan. The base featured a 12,000-foot runway, a 50-room hospital, and 100 parking spots for fighter jets. In their haste to depart the facility, the United States military left behind 3.5 million items, including armored vehicles, weapons and ammunition.

"Since our humiliating withdrawal, the Biden/Harris administration has rewarded the Taliban terrorists by sending $239 million in grants to “fake nonprofits” created to scam American taxpayers. According to a report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, the funds were sent by the Biden/Harris State Department to 29 phony Taliban organizations." . . .

Keep America Weird

 "But today in The Free Press, one Republican takes a different view. Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says weirdness is actually a good thing. More than that: it’s deeply American."  Oliver Wiseman 

John Adams was an abolitionist when slavery was the norm and a self-taught Hindu scholar. In other words, like the greatest Americans, he was a total weirdo.

America the Weird   Vivek Ramaswamy   "When I grew up in southwest Ohio in the 1990s, my immigrant parents always reminded me: if you’re going to stand out, you might as well be outstanding. They said it with a thick Indian accent, but I view their advice as quintessentially American.

"It’s what distinguished America’s Founding Fathers. The Old World was one that aspired to a certain form of normalcy—one where people stayed in their respective lanes. An inventor was an inventor, a lord was a lord, a philosopher was a philosopher. Much of this was determined at birth.

"But our Founders were different. They didn’t believe in those boundaries. 


"Benjamin Franklin was not only a co-author of the Declaration of Independence but also founded hospitals and universities; dabbled in medicine; created a musical instrument that went on to be used by Mozart and Beethoven; designed the lightning rod, bifocal spectacles, and the Franklin stove. Robert Livingston helped design the steamship as a side project while serving as an ambassador to France. Roger Sherman was a self-taught attorney who never had any formal education. Thomas Jefferson was fluent in four languages, wrote nineteen thousand letters by hand, and invented prototypes of the polygraph and the swivel chair. Oh, and he designed the architecture of the Virginia State Capitol building.


"They were weird. Often the ones who said the weirdest things adopted some of the weirdest viewpoints by the standards of their day. John Adams was an abolitionist during an age when slavery was the norm the world over. He was also a self-taught scholar of Hindu scripture and wrote letters to Thomas Jefferson about the Bhagavad Gita." . . . 

"But alleging “weirdness” is a troubling form of political argument. It’s anti-American, on at least two levels." 

Reflecting on Kamala and Democrat desperation; "Weird"

This juvenile campaign indicates the fear the Democrats have for Trump/ Vance. It all has the support of Google obviously, as TD had to click past six pages of links to find one that refuted the leftist meme, "weird". TD

. . ."But that isn't the point at all. Both of these lines of attack and their constant repetition are designed to undermine the advantages Republicans have--Democrats are undeniably weird, and Trump is undeniably courageous. The goal is to program these facts out of the brains of people who pay attention casually and don't think deeply about the issues." . . . 

Sunday Smiles  "I am deeply worried that the compressed election cycle will allow the mainstream media and the brainwashing complex which includes Big Tech and social media to carry Kamala Harris to victory on their backs.

Kamala herself is a mental midget with no political skills to speak of, but she has behind her a brainwashing machine with decades of experience and trillions of dollars of infrastructure behind it. 

But Kamala's political skills or her electoral prospects are not my focus here: there is one advantage to the compressed timeline, and that is the need for the brainwashing machine to drop all subtlety and use all its tricks in one massive push. We can see the machine work in a way that has been more difficult before.  

 "I didn't do any counting, but somebody else did and found that when you add up the use of the word "weird" it was used in the media hundreds of times in just two days. 

"Hundreds. Two days. 

"That, my friends, is how brainwashing works. You also saw it on social media when every leftist started using it simultaneously and constantly. 

"Normally this sort of campaign would be ramped up over days and weeks, building until the impression is built organically in people's minds. The point would be to avoid any jarring sense of discontinuity and let the idea become settled in people's minds." . . .

Lisa Boothe: If GOP Is ‘Weird,’ Then Democrat Party Is The Party Of ‘Purple-Haired Circus Freaks’  . . .“I mean, Joe Biden was the one that picked a guy who has an animal roleplaying fetish that he’s open about that went on to steal suitcases,” Boothe began. “He had a transgender activist in the South Lawn flashing the cameras.” 

“You had a Democrat staffer filming a sex tape on Capitol Hill,” she said. “Cocaine was found at the White House.”

Democrats Could Regret Calling Trump ‘Weird’ (politicalwire.com)

"Thomas Friedman: “For a few days this last week I started to believe that Kamala Harris and the Democrats could come from behind and beat Donald Trump. But then I started to hear Democrats patting themselves on the back for coming up with a great new label for Trump Republicans. They are ‘weird.’”

“I cannot think of a sillier, more playground, more foolish and more counterproductive political taunt for Democrats to seize on than calling Trump and his supporters ‘weird.’”

The absolute, extreme, extraordinary, weirdness of the left    . . ."What’s weird is allowing 8 million illegal aliens to enter our country from both borders, and not vetting them to be sure no terrorists and traffickers and agents of death come in.

"What’s weird are Kamala Harris’ speeches about “the passage of time,” “unencumbered by the past,” “keep doing what we’re doing,” “space is fascinating,” "my pronouns are she/her, I'm a woman sitting at a table wearing a blue dress," and other IQ-crushing statements even AOC can’t figure out.

"What’s totally weird and extremely dangerous, is this administration’s destruction of the American military in favor of DEI and affirmative action policies that degrade military competence, strength, and readiness and make us a laughingstock on a dangerous, saber-rattling world stage where madmen reign.

"What’s weird is destroying the average person’s ability to buy groceries, gas, and energy and then claiming the economy is great.

"What’s weird is demanding Americans suffering under Joe’s inflation be forced to buy expensive electric cars, then trying to penalize them when they don’t." . . .

Amazing ad from the Trump campaign … decimating Kamala without saying a single word.

The FOO

Quoting The FOO:

I did not like Barack Obama.

Like at all. But I didn't compare him to Hitler. Or shout 'NAZI' at people who supported him. Or call his detention centers concentration camps. And I sure as Hell didn't stop loving my country. You guys on the Left really need to get a damn grip.
