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
