Trans wrestler sexually assaults female competitor

Susan Quinn - American Thinker; "Once again a beleaguered young woman is let down by her school, her coaches, law enforcement, and every other institution."

Which bathroom dare he use now?

"The latest in trans athletic outrages comes to us from Puyallup, Washington State:

During a wrestling match on December 6, Keeler competed in the 190-pound weight class against an opponent from Emerald Ridge High School. Video from the bout appears to show Keeler in visible distress. According to her testimony, the opponent, a transgender-identifying boy, forcefully inserted his fingers into her private area during a move, causing her to feel violated and disoriented. Keeler later said she allowed herself to be pinned in order to end the match and escape the situation.

‘I didn’t really know what to do or how to handle that situation. I just wanted the match to be over,’ Keeler said.

"Although Keeler’s mother filmed a video on her phone, the sheriff’s department said the evidence was inconclusive.

"But the malfeasance by the schools is deplorable. Keeler and her mother reported this attack to the Puyallup School District and to coaches; schools are required to report this type of crime within 48 hours. But the report wasn’t made for two months, and only the day after a reporter contacted the school district regarding the matter.

"Keeler feels she was twice-violated: besides the physical attack, no one told her that her competitor was a trans (biological male) woman.

"After Keeler reported the attack to her coach, the following was his response:

‘I most certainly would not put Kallie on the mat if I thought she was competing with a male,’ Keeler’s coach replied. ‘I will investigate this and look to see if we have a video on our end. I will touch base with you either this afternoon or tomorrow morning after I do my due diligence.’

However, Keeler’s family said they never heard back from the school. Additionally, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office did not receive a formal report until Jan. 30.

"Emerald Ridge High School has been overly accommodating to their trans students:" . . .

Is Olympian Hunter Hess more AIN than USA?

 Noel S. Williams - American Thinker   

"Maybe he’s just young and immature.  Maybe he can be redeemed before falling further into anti-Americanism." 

..."At the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milano, there are athletes competing without national flags, uniforms, or anthems. The designation given to them is Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN). There are about 20 of them: thirteen from Russia and seven from Belarus. There should be 21 of them — at least. 
    "The twenty-first AIN being from the great ol’ US of A. His name is Hunter Hess (sounds more German than American) and his ingratitude and disloyalty to America rather gets my dander up. Hess (he should change his name to the more anglicized version) is from Bend, Oregon, which is a sanctuary jurisdiction. While obliging himself to America’s beneficence, he dared to spew at a news conference that he doesn’t represent “everything that’s going on in the U.S.” 
   "That insubordination also got President Trump’s dander up as he took to social media, penning this: U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics. If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it. Very hard to root for someone like this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 
   "Hess had a hissy fit about his country’s (“his,” when convenient for him, that is) immigration enforcement. Fine, then take the uniform off and don’t dare wave the Stars and Stripes. You are not worthy. Even though a majority of patriotic Americans support deporting criminal illegal aliens and local cooperation with ICE, let’s concede that some may disagree with certain tactics. They may be entitled to their misguided opinions, but they should not misspeak overseas while wearing our colors. That’s more AIN than USA." . . .  More...

Why they want California ruined

Don Surber  
"California’s generous homeless program attracted 187,084 homeless people to the state by 2024 (which is the latest verified data). State residents effectively legalized store theft as long as it was under $950 per visit."

"CNBC reported, “Palantir moving its headquarters from Denver to Miami.”

"The story said:

Florida, which offers a friendlier tax environment, has welcomed a wave of billionaires in recent years. The region is also gaining more executives as California deliberates over a 5% wealth tax on residents with a net worth exceeding $1 billion.

Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly bought a mansion in Florida and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel has established a base in Miami.

Palantir, which was founded in Palo Alto, California, in 2003, previously moved to Denver in 2020. CEO Alex Karp has previously spoken out about the culture in Silicon Valley.

“Our company was founded in Silicon Valley,” he wrote in a letter in 2020. “But we seem to share fewer and fewer of the technology sector’s values and commitments.”

Other escapees from the Silicon Valley include Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the company that founded the valley in 1936 before there were silicon chips. Tesla, Oracle, Charles Schwab, Realtor.com, John Paul Mitchell System and SpaceX also self-deported to Texas.

Chevron, founded in 1879 in San Francisco as the Pacific Coast Oil Company, is loading up and moving to Houston.

That is $4.5 trillion in wealth—as measured by market caps—that California shed in recent years.

Conservatives mainly brush this off as an unintended consequence. The Heritage Foundation said:

California is already home to some of the highest taxes in the country, and another tax increase may be on the ballot this year: the “billionaire tax.” . . More...

 

Newsom Still Can’t Catch On - RVIVR

 . . . "California’s gasoline prices are higher because:

  • The state isolates itself with unique fuel standards.

  • It imposes layered regulatory and tax burdens.

  • It discourages refinery investment and expansion.

  • It blocks pipeline development.

  • It treats conventional energy as a transitional nuisance rather than a necessary input to modern life.

"Those policies ensure fragility. And fragility ensures higher prices." . . .

What Western Civilization Is, For The Benefit Of The Idiot Parasites Who Disparage It

  RVIVR    

"Together, these elements forged the West’s singular glory: a civilization unmatched in its fusion of intellect, order, passion, imagination, perseverance, and sacred purpose, a beacon that has illuminated humanity’s highest aspirations across millennia.


"If some idiot Marxist like AOC blathers about how “Western culture is thin” or that “there’s no rich cultural heritage that goes with ‘whiteness’”, tell them this:

"Western civilization stands as a towering edifice built upon the immortal Greek Wisdom, the fountainhead of rational inquiry and human excellence. From the sun-drenched agora of Athens sprang forth the relentless pursuit of truth through philosophy, logic, mathematics, and science – Socrates’ unyielding questioning, Plato’s vision of ideal forms, Aristotle’s systematic categorization of knowledge – that forever elevated the mind above mere survival. This wisdom birthed democracy, the arts of tragedy and comedy, epic poetry, and the very standards of beauty and proportion that still define aesthetic achievement. The West is Greek Wisdom incarnate: a civilization that dares to ask “why” and “how,” refusing superstition’s chains in favor of reason’s liberating light, forging a legacy where individuals are not subjects of fate but architects of their destiny.

"Upon this intellectual foundation, the West erected Roman Order, the unparalleled architecture of law, governance, and disciplined society that turned chaotic tribes into a unified empire spanning continents. Rome’s genius lay in codifying justice – the Twelve Tables, the Corpus Juris Civilis of Justinian – establishing principles of equity, contracts, property rights, and citizenship that became the bedrock of modern legal systems across Europe and beyond. Roads, aqueducts, and legions imposed stability and infrastructure, while republican institutions and imperial administration demonstrated how liberty and authority could coexist under the rule of law rather than whim. The West is Roman Order manifest: a culture that values structure, predictability, and civic duty, transforming raw power into enduring institutions that protect the weak and restrain the strong." . . .  More...

Without Victory, There Is No Survival; Humoring nitwits sinks ships

  Ann Coulter 

" . . .the men wading through freezing water looked up and saw Alex Pretti running around Omaha Beach, screaming, shouting expletives, swinging and kicking at them to block the mission. He would have been the first man in history killed by 1,000 bullets."


"How many times do Americans have to vote for Donald Trump to make the point that they want illegal immigrants deported? They voted for him in 2016, despite sheer hysteria from Democrats, the entire media, and nearly all elected Republicans. They voted for him again in 2024 by an even larger margin, with some misgivings, because he promised a mass deportation force.
"Do we have to make Stephen Miller president so you finally get the point? Is this Groundhog Day? Why do we always have to start at square one on the question of: Should we have a country?
"The open borders crowd has two counter-arguments: Virtue signaling and lying.
"First, the virtue signaling. While never so much as acknowledging the Americans brutalized, raped and murdered by illegal immigrants, the media are awash with humanizing details about “irregular migrants.”
"Apparently, it’s especially heinous for ICE to arrest an undocumented person if he or she is engaged in some “homey” activity, like “taking their dog to the vet,” or “working on their car” or “shopping for ingredients for a stew.” (Personally, I would accept that defense so long as the migrant can prove that the groceries she was purchasing were actually for a stew. Not “a roast beef sandwich,” or some kind of salad, but a bona fide stew.)." . . . More
