Elton John discovers that even coronavirus won't stop the pronoun wars

Right now, Sir Elton is taking incoming fire from the woke crowd.  His crime?  "Misgendering" Sam Smith, a male who no longer understands what's living in his underpants.  That's why Smith announced a year ago that he's an "it."  Oh, pardon me.  He's "non-binary," which is the politically correct term for a living being that's neither male nor female.

Andrea Widburg  "One of the constants in social media posts from or emails between conservatives is the hope that the coronavirus pandemic will knock the underpinnings from gender madness.  The reasoning behind this hope is that the "gender is a social construct" theory was the luxury of a safe, affluent society.  With people feeling insecure about both their physical safety and their economic security, "wokeness" will be exposed for the frivolous nonsense it really is and quickly recede.

"The problem with this hope is that it doesn't consider that wokeness is not always frivolous nonsense.  Indeed, it seldom is.  Instead, there are two primary drivers behind gender madness.  The first is a concerted effort to break down traditional Judeo-Christian Western civilization so it can be rebuilt from the ground up.  The second is genuine insanity emanating from those poor souls driven mad by people in that first category (the power-hungry woke activists).

. . . 

"Also appearing was Sam Smith, the artist formerly known as "he."  When introducing Smith, Sir Elton said, "Here, from his bedroom in his home in London, is my dear friend, Sam Smith."  To his credit, Smith did not take umbrage at that introduction, even though it failed to acknowledge his it-ness.

"The woke twitterati, however, were surprised and outraged:"

Did Elton John just misgender Sam Smith?

Jim BIme (Gamer, Anti-Vape)@BimeJim

Was enjoying the #iHeartLivingRoomConcert until Elton John called Sam Smith the wrong pronouns. It’s 2020 and we still are discriminating against non-binary people. Elton John has no idea what kind of bigotry and hate Sam Smith has faced. Do better. #LGBTQoftwitter #BeKind

A mistake?
A MISTAKE?!
Calling a non-binary person “he” instead of “they” is an act of cisheteronormative violence.

Good grief.

Support Grows for 3 High School Girls Fighting to Preserve Fairness in Women’s Sports

Selina, Alanna, and Chelsea are not the only girls in Connecticut that have been impacted by this CIAC policy. In fact, two male athletes in Connecticut have taken 15 state championship titles that previously belonged to nine different girls. And they have taken 17 individual meet records that previously belonged to 13 different girls.

Tony Branco*

Alliance Defending Freedom  "Three brave high school girls in Connecticut have done what many of their much older counterparts have been unwilling to do… They have asked the simple question: Do female athletes deserve the right to compete on a level playing field?

"The answer should be common sense. That’s why Title IX was created, after all—to provide women and girls with equal educational and athletic opportunities. But those opportunities are being stripped from these high school athletes. And now they are speaking out.

"You see, in 2017, they started facing a different kind of competition. That’s the year that the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) first allowed male athletes who identify as female to compete as girls.

"That’s why these three girls are taking a stand. Last year, they filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education. And while the Department of Education agreed to investigate this CIAC policy, these female athletes are taking extra steps to ensure that the athletic opportunities of women and girls are preserved.

"With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, they filed a lawsuit against the CIAC in February. Since then, many have voiced their support for these three high school athletes. In fact, on March 24, the Attorney General of the United States and the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice filed a brief in that lawsuit supporting these girls. 

"Let me introduce you to these brave high school girls—who have been personally harmed by being forced to compete against male athletes." . . .  (Emphasis in the original)

Coronavirus Is Not the Only Thing Threatening to Cancel Women’s Sports

Remember the Young Woman Who Died While Waiting for a Coronavirus Test in New Orleans? ...Yeah, Well Now the Truth Is Out

The Gateway Pundit   "Last week the liberal media ran screaming headlines after 39-year-old Natasha Ott was found dead on her kitchen floor while awaiting her coronavirus test results.

"Rest in peace, Natasha.

"Of course, the left ran with the story as a way to whip up panic and attack the Trump administration.

"TRENDING: Remember the Young Woman Who Died While Waiting for a Coronavirus Test in New Orleans? …Yeah, Well Now the Truth Is Out

"But it was not true.
"A second coronvirus test came back negative on Natasha Ott.
"The media reported incorrectly that she died of COVID-19 while waiting for her test results.

"Furthermore, it was not revealed that she was in fact suffering for the last TWO years from an undiagnosed intestinal condition but her boyfriend lied and said she was perfectly healthy.
"She was a “Peace Corps Alumni.”
"The Sun Herald reported:

The exact reason the woman, Natasha Ott, died remains under investigation by the Coroner’s Office, spokesman Jason Melancon said. Such investigations can take several weeks to complete.

Ott’s death drew public notice when her boyfriend, Josh Anderson, wrote in a widely shared social media post that he had found her dead March 20 in her kitchen. Anderson recounted that an ailing Ott, after testing negative for the flu, had been tested for COVID-19 — the potentially deadly respiratory disease caused by the virus — but died before getting the results back.

"So will any of the liberal news outlets correct their lies?
"It’s doubtful."

Pelosi Suggests Dems Will Investigate President Trump Over Coronavirus. Mark Cuban praises the President (UPDATE)

Righteous anger and sincerity: if you can fake those you can go anywhere

Analyzing America   "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested another investigation into President Trump, this time to find what he knew about the coronavirus and when he first knew it.
"During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Pelosi said Trump should be held personally accountable for Americans dying to the coronavirus and said she would call for an “after-action review” of his handling of the crisis — delayed until after the coronavirus pandemic ends.
“ 'The president, his denial at the beginning, was deadly,” Pelosi told Tapper, as BizPac Review reports. “His delaying of getting equipment to where it it’s needed is deadly.”
“ 'And now the best thing to do would be to prevent more loss of life rather than open things up, because we just don’t know,” she continued. “We have to have testing, testing, testing. That’s what we said from the start, before we can evaluate what the nature of it is in some of these other regions as well.”
“ 'I don’t know what the purpose of that is. I don’t know what the scientists are saying to him,” Pelosi continued. “I don’t know what the scientists said to him. When did this president know about this, and what did he know? What did he know, and when did he know it? That’s for an after-action review.' ” 
" 'Tapper pressed Pelosi on exactly how much she will be holding the president accountable.
“Speaker Pelosi, when you say the president’s denial was deadly, he obviously downplayed the risks of coronavirus for several weeks, and it wasn’t until I think about two weeks ago that he started acknowledging the gravity of the crisis,” he said per the report. “Are you saying his downplaying ultimately cost American lives?”
“ 'Yes, I am,” Pelosi answered. “I’m saying that because when he made — the other day, when he was signing the bill, he said, just think, 20 days ago everything was great. No, everything wasn’t great. We had nearly 500 cases and 17 deaths already.”.

UPDATE: Mark Cuban Drops Bombshell: I Give Trump All The Credit In The World For Combatting Coronavirus [Opinion]  . . . “ 'Look, I’m not gonna throw anybody under the bus,” Cuban began, “I’m not a fan of Donald Trump’s as president, I haven’t been for awhile, but, that said, he’s obviously adjusted and adapted, and he’s doing his best,” he added. “We are where we are.”

“ 'In the past, it wasn’t all that long ago when he was saying — people were thinking, wondering how he understood medicine so well. They thought he was just a genius for being able to understand all this stuff, but now he’s kind of evolved to the point where he’s putting his experts up front,” he said. “There’s a reason why Dr. [Anthony] Fauci became a rock star, and he’s only a rock star because Donald Trump stepped aside.” He continued." . .

Joe Scarborough Applauds MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell: ‘I Salute Him,’ ‘I’d Like To Make 50,000 Masks’

“Once the Trump-aligned My Pillow guy came on to give a free infomercial from the Rose Garden, CNN cuts away– good on them for not giving oxygen to this partisan corporate bulls**t,” tweeted Bryan Tyler Cohen of Occupy Democrats. 

 One day, three egregious examples of media bias, hatred, and misinformation. This is not "news"; it's propaganda.

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell says God put Trump in the White House and tells people to read the Bible while standing behind a presidential seal on government property in a clear violation of the separation of church and state.

................................................................................................................................................

. . . "The media went out of their mind again when Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow, appeared at Monday's press conference to talk about the fact that he'd reconfigured his factory so it could produce fifty thousand masks a day.  Lindell, a Trump-supporter, added a little to his report, telling people Trump is a God-given blessing to the country and reminding them to read the Bible.

"The more ignorant media members thought that when a private citizen talks about God and the Bible, the mere fact that he is at the White House meant that he had violated the First Amendment: . . ."  Video at the link.

James Woods Wrecks MSNBC ‘Media Gnat’ Ali Velshi for Whining About MyPillow CEO’s Rose Garden Speech  . . . “ 'Trump just called the 'My Pillow' guy up to the podium in the Rose Garden. You cannot make this stuff up.” Woods (below, left) then did what he does best by slapping Velshi (right) down in a retweet: “Hard for a #FakeNews media gnat to appreciate Americans donating their resources to help others in a time of crisis…”

All because Mike said this:

. . . "Lindell also gave an inspiring talk about the importance of faith during the pandemic. He thanked the Trump administration for its leadership:"

“God had been taken out of our schools and lives … I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the word, read our Bibles, and spend time with our families ... Our president gave us so much hope where, just a few short months ago, we had the best economy, the lowest unemployment, and wages going up. It was amazing. With our great president, vice president, and this administration, the other great people in this country, and praying daily, we will get through this and get back to a place that is stronger and safer than ever."

Fox Business Parts Ways With Host Trish Regan, Who Said Coronavirus Was ‘Attempt to Impeach’ Trump

WSJ   Other hosts at Fox News have come under fire for minimizing the threat of coronavirus before changing tack

"Fox Corp.’s business channel said it parted ways with host Trish Regan, who was taken off the air two weeks ago after she dismissed concerns over the coronavirus pandemic as “impeachment all over again.”

The rest is behind a paywall

Daily Mail  The network also released a statement on Regan’s behalf, saying: ‘I have enjoyed my time at FOX and now intend to focus on my family during these troubled times. . . .

"Regan added: ‘We see the absolute opposite from the left tonight… The hate is boiling over.

‘Many in the liberal media using coronavirus in an attempt to demonize and destroy the president.
"After playing several clips of cable news pundits who criticized Trump for his administration’s handling of the outbreak, Regan accused Democrats of whipping up ‘mass hysteria.’
" 'I see. This is impeachment all over again… They don’t care who they hurt,’ she said.
" ‘Whether it be their need to create mass hysteria to encourage a market sell-off, unlike anything we have seen recently or to be to create mass hysteria to stop our economy dead in its tracks.’
"She then added: ‘They told us how much they crave a recession as a way to get rid of Donald Trump.
"‘This is impeachment all over again, complete with a whistleblower to complain about our health and human services committee, right.’
"Regan’s commentary, which came as more coronavirus cases were being reported and a greater number of Americans were dying, sparked outrage.
"The sharp backlash prompted Fox Business to announce on March 13 that Trish Regan Primetime would be put on hiatus. " . . . 

Historian: Trump best to handle virus crisis, 'born for this moment'

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Paul Bedard  "It’s been just shy of three months since the administration took its first action to fight off the coronavirus spread, and historians are already sizing up President Trump’s leadership.

"Most have focused on what they view as his “offensive” use of the term “China virus.”

"But author, historian, and former presidential adviser Doug Wead, who has followed every president since Gerald R. Ford, has been doing a back-of-the-envelope comparison of how the seven most recent presidents would have handled the crisis — and if they would have been successful.

"The current fight favors a president quick to decide, willing to let businesses help out, friendly with the media, and with “a deep desire to do it right,” said Wead, whose latest book is, Inside Trump's White House: The Real Story of His Presidency.

"Of the seven, he told us none had everything going for them, but two had three of four needed traits: Trump and Bill Clinton."  "Here are his findings." . . .

Geraldo: ‘We Have the Right Warrior for This Fight;’ Trump’s ‘Epic’ Effort ‘Is Getting the Job Done’  “ 'If the motive is to hurt Donald Trump, then save it. Save it for when this horrible disease is behind us,” because we all have to pull together in support of President Donald Trump’s “epic” efforts to combat coronavirus, Geraldo Rivera said Monday during his “Roadkill” podcast.

" 'There’s no point in nitpicking at Trump’s every misstep at a time like this – especially, since he’s doing “an epic job” keeping Americans safe from coronavirus, Rivera said:

“I know that many Trump-haters are clearly frustrated right now because most of the American people – 60 percent in that Gallup poll – most of the America people, many of whom did not vote for Donald Trump, approve of what I think is an epic job, that he is doing to mitigate the coronavirus catastrophe.”

Rivera described President Trump's performance as, "effective, yet flamboyant leadership".

CNN vs President Trump: Jim Acosta is CNN's Abbott to Don Lemon's Costello

Trump rips into Jim Acosta for ‘nasty’ question, says this is why people ‘don’t want to listen’ to CNN   "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi set the marker during her appearance Sunday on CNN that the new marching orders are to attack President Donald Trump for his handling of the Chinese virus COVID-19, which was hampered by an alleged early denial.
"With the coronavirus outbreak resulting in an unprecedented national emergency, as the U.S. economy has largely been shut down to counter the spread of the disease, the Democratic Party has fully politicized the crisis and their media allies have been quick to pick up on the marching orders.
"Eager to please, CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta confronted Trump Monday at a Rose Garden briefing, as if he was reading directly from Pelosi’s notes.
"“What do you say to Americans who are upset with you over the way you downplayed this crisis?” Acosta asked, before pointing to words of encouragement Trump made a few weeks back about the virus one day disappearing.
"Acosta then dropped the money line: “What do you say to Americans who believe that you got this wrong?” . . .

. . . More here.

The CNN hack wasted the American public’s time by asking a horrid, gotcha question at the White House presser today.  . . . "On Monday the president was accompanied by Great American industry leaders who praised the administration and vowed to begin manufacturing gowns and medical supplies for our nation’s care givers. It was another wonderful display of American patriotism.

"But Jim Acosta had to make it about himself and asked a sick gotcha question about the president’s comments from weeks ago.
"Truly Disgusting." . . .

CNN’s Acosta: W.H. Briefing Had ‘PR Stunt’ from ‘Mr. Pillow’ Plugging His Company
. . . "On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta suggested that the White House’s coronavirus briefings could be “better designed” by not having “these PR stunts like Mr. Pillow coming out and giving a plug for his company, and that sort of thing.' ” . . .

Jason Lewis

Mike Lindell, founder of My Pillow answered the call, and converted 75% of his manufacturing capacity to make 50k N95 masks a day.
Yet the left wing media & blue checkmarks are outraged he mentioned God?

PBS Reporter: Covering Trump Is A ‘Team Sport’ For Press: We ‘Have Each Other’s Back’ In Opposition To President…

Alcindor described her role as a reporter this way: “Stay forward, stay focused, be steady and continue do the job you were there to do. For me it's a journalist, to hold presidents accountable and that's what I did today.”
Of course, she’s rushed to the defense of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, so maybe this doesn’t apply to all politicians. For more on Alcindor’s back and forth with Trump on Tuesday, go here.

Biden, The media, Democrats vs Republicans

Mainstream Media Gave Kavanaugh’s Accuser Substantial Coverage, Ignore Biden’s Accuser   "Mainstream media publications that gave wall-to-wall coverage of Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 have not given any coverage on the woman who came forward last week and accused Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden of sexual in the early 90s.

"On March 24, The Intercept reported on the sexual allegations from former Biden staffer Tara Reade against then-Senator Biden in 1993.
"The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC have not reported the allegation in the six days following The Intercept’s story." . . .
"A brief review by The Daily Wire of The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC found that Ford and Reade were mentioned the following number of times by the publications in the first six days after the allegations were made publicly:

The Washington Post:Christine Blasey Ford: 100+Tara Reade: 0
The New York Times:Christine Blasey Ford: 90+Tara Reade: 0
MSNBC:Christine Blasey Ford: 100+Tara Reade: 0
CNN:Christine Blasey Ford: 100+Tara Reade: 0

Democrats Booker and Harris laughing during Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation ordeal as the Kavanaugh family looks on.  No shame on the part of Hollywood, CNN nor MSNBC. TD

DHS Whistleblower Dead Ahead of Plan to Expose National Security Corruption

The last publicly visible Facebook post on Haney’s page was meme protesting against the impeachment of U.S. President Donald Trump.  *

DHS Whistleblower Dead Ahead of Plan to Expose National Security Corruption

• Philip Haney’s mysterious death has caused a new wave of conspiracy theories to surface.

• Haney’s alleged suicide came just weeks before he was reportedly planning to publish another book exposing shortcomings within the Obama administration.

• Very few details about Haney’s death have been released.

"The untimely death of Philip Haney over the weekend has created another storm of political conspiracy theories. Haney gained notoriety in 2016 when he came forward as a whistleblower while working at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
"Haney had been missing since Feb. 19 and was found dead two days later in what police have ruled a suicide. But reports that his fatal gunshot wound was to his chest coupled with a lack of information about the circumstances that led to his death have reignited growing mistrust between the U.S. public and the American government."  . . .

Much more:
BizPac Review  . . . " 'We’ve received reports that Philip Haney, a DHS whistleblower on the Obama administration, has been found dead,” the website Law Enforcement Today reported Saturday afternoon.

*Here’s what you need to know:  . . . "According to his Facebook page, Haney was living in Plymouth, California, 40 miles east of Sacramento. Online records show that Haney lived in 2019 in Leesburg, Virginia. A statement on author Andrew Boston’s Twitter page, said that Haney had returned to California following the death of his wife. That statement also said that Haney was engaged to be married later in 2020. The statement adds that friends of Haney’s say that there was “no way” he would have taken his own life.

There are unfounded rumors on social media that Haney was killed having been shot dead. There are no reports of a shooting in the area around Plymouth, California."  . . . 
One review of Haney’s book described it as an “exposé of a “politically correct” federal government that capitulates to a subversive enemy within and punishes those who reject its narrative.”

"During a 2015 appearance on Fox News, Haney said that his work in the Department of Homeland Security had been curtailed and that if it were able to continue, it may have prevented the 2015 San Bernardino shooting. According to Haney, among the places that he was investigating was a mosque attended by the shooter, Syed Farook. Haney alleged that his investigation was curtailed by the Obama administration. Haney said, “Either Syed would have been put on the no-fly list because association with that mosque, and/or the K-1 visa that his wife was given may have been denied because of his association with a known organization.”4. Haney Testified in 2016 that the Obama Administration Could Have Prevented the Orlando Pulse Nightclub Shooting . . .

Biden is preferred over President Trump why?

Joe Biden Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Former Staffer: ‘Penetrated Me With His Fingers’

“He got finished doing what he was doing and I, how I was pulled back and he said, ‘Come on man, I heard you liked me.’ And that phrase stayed with me because I kept thinking what I might have said. And I can’t remember exactly if he said ‘I thought’ or if ‘I heard.’ It’s like he implied that I had done this. . . .

Hollywood’s Me Too Group Turned Down Biden Sexual Assault Accuser

Tara Reade

. . . "On Tuesday, the Intercept’s Ryan Grim reported that Tara Reade, one of several women to come forward with credible allegations of harassment against Biden last spring was turned away from the preeminent #MeToo legal institution when she sought help with her case.
"Time’s Up argued that the case was too political considering that Biden was a candidate for president, and it didn’t want to jeopardize its status housed with the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) as a 501(c)(3) non-profit with the Internal Revenue Service, which allows the organization to be exempt from certain taxes. Since launching in 2017, Times Up has raised more than $24 million through the crowdfunding platform GoFundMe and has provided substantial legal support for big name accusers such as those abused by Harvey Weinstein.
"In Reade’s case however, she was shown the door." . . .

The Ballad of China Joe  . . . "Imagine "D'oh!" Joe's utter confusion right now.  He's walking around his Wilmington, Delaware mansion (which a lifetime of "public service" has somehow afforded him) without pants, wondering where he is and why his staff keep having him talk to the funny flat screen with Democrat-operative news anchors whose names he can't remember staring back at him, and he's being told that Mario Cuomo's kid is now second in the betting odds for the nomination" . . .

Tumbleweeds Greet Credible Sex Abuse Accusation Against Gropey Joe
. . . "Remember, we have to believe all women…except when it’s a liberal like Bad Touch Biden who is doing the grabbing, in which case she’s either a lying tramp who wanted it or she simply doesn’t exist. You know, all these differing rules about how we are supposed to react to #MeToo stuff seems really complex and difficult, since they change based on the ideology of the alleged pervert, but it’s really simple if you just understand one simple thing.
"The liberal outrage is all a lie and a scam." . . .

Remember the furious outrage about the locker room chatter in 2016? Well, Malarkey Boy actually did that, claims this lady, and the Democrats are not only ignoring it but are still intent on nominating this senile doofus to be president.

 New poll shows disastrous news for Biden and will delight Trump supporters

In recent weeks, Biden has framed his campaign pitch against Trump simply, arguing that he would be better suited than the current Oval Office occupant to deal with a national crisis such as the pandemic and/or a recession that follows. But this poll suggests voters aren’t buying it.
