Megan Rapinoe Rips Mask off Once and for All in Letter on 'Protection of Women in Sports' Act

  RedState   "U.S. women’s soccer team star-turned-media darling Megan Rapinoe is truly one of the most annoying public figures on the planet. Not because I disagree with her from a political standpoint, but because she is constantly talking at cross-purposes, and clearly lacks the self-awareness it takes to realize that the arguments she makes on hot-button topics like “transgender rights” and “women’s equality” are on a collision course with each other.". . .

Admire me!

. . ."Athlete Ally’s stated mission “is to end the rampant homophobia and transphobia in sport and to activate the athletic community to exercise their leadership to champion LGBTQI+ equality.” Because apparently it’s “transphobic” to recognize that there are innate physical differences between men and women that can’t be changed by doctors.

"In my opinion, signing on to this letter was Joe Biden’s pal Rapinoe once and for all ripping the mask off, and picking the lane she wants to be in. Not the women’s equality one – as far-fetched as her position on that was, but the one that says men can be women if they merely claim to be and can take over their sporting events if they want to because it’s “just not that important” to make the distinction.

"To reiterate points I’ve made before, Rapinoe has been a pretty lousy spokesperson for the women who she claims to represent when you consider the fact that she’s also an advocate for men who identify as women to be allowed to play on women’s teams, a position which completely undermines women’s sports. Here’s what Rapinoe wrote about this debate two years ago:. . ."

Things Joe Biden Shouldn’t Say Or Do In Ireland

  Victory Girls Blog   "Resident Joe Biden will arrive in Belfast, Ireland late this Tuesday. He is there to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 1998 Good Friday Peace Agreement that officially ended the “Troubles” in Ireland. Ninety year old former Senator George Mitchell, who negotiated the agreement will be on the trip, despite ongoing cancer treatments. Because we Victory Girls are patriots and love this country, and because Joe Biden is guaranteed to say and do stupid things, we have provided a list of things, he should not say or do in Ireland.

"It would be pleasant to get through Biden’s visit to the “auld sod” without him causing a new outbreak of old troubles, so here we go.". . .

1. Do limit mentions of John F. Kennedy, Jr.. Biden will want too try to cloak himself in the “Kennedy Mystique”. By all means, speak of our first Irish President, but don’t beat everyone over the head with a shillelagh.

2. Don’t say “I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid”. Who can forget this one in December of 2022:

I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid. I married Dominic Giacoppa’s daughter. So, you know, I got a little Italian in me now, you know?”-Joe Biden

3. Don’t mention the Irish and drinking or being sober, or being in jail. Another one of Biden’s favorite shibboleths, this is as funny to me as jokes about my Appalachian family, you know what I mean. Here’s Joe from the Washington Examiner:

“I’ve been to Ireland many times, but not to actually look up, to find my actual family members. And there are so many — and they actually weren’t in jail,” Biden joked.
He then moved on to perhaps the most well-known Irish stereotype: their penchant for drinking alcohol.
“There’s still a place called Finnegan’s pub … that’s related to my family,” he continued. “I’m the only Irishman you ever met, though, that’s never had a drink, so I’m OK. I’m really not Irish.”

4. Don’t repeat the story about your Irish Aunt saying there was nothing wrong with your Dad except he was English. Like many Americans Joe’s heritage is mixed. That’s why it’s not a good idea do drag anyone’s ancestry. Biden is Irish but he is also English. From Politico:

Left out of the fanfare was most of Biden’s paternal lineage, which is about three-quarters English. While he has made a habit of name-checking his father’s Irish Hanafee ancestors, Biden’s non-Irish ancestry has not played a prominent role in his public image.

According to Biden, it has also played a limited role in his own self-image, on account of the early influence of his mother’s family. When the future president was a young boy, he recalled his great-aunt Gertie telling him, “Your father’s not a bad man. He’s just English.”
“There is an ongoing debate as to whether Biden is an Irish, English or German name,” Biden told Irish America in 1987, but his Scranton relatives preferred not to dwell on the likelihood that they were living under the same roof as an Englishman. “My grandfather and my mother were never crazy about it being English and used to say, ‘Tell him it’s Dutch,’” he recalled. (Later, Biden began describing his surname, accurately, as an English name).

5. For the love of Mike, don’t touch or sniff anyone else’s wife or daughter. Here is a compilation of Creepy Joe touching girls:

Merchant of Death' Viktor Bout Sends Trump a Message

 Brittney Griner, Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, and many other Democrats will be pleased to hear this.

Townhall

"The convicted arms dealer who was freed in a prisoner exchange by the Biden administration for WNBA player Brittney Griner, argued the 45th president should come to Russia for his own safety.

“First and foremost, I consider that his life is in danger and that the legal process which has now begun in New York, won't end in Donald Trump being convicted and barred from the election,” he reportedly said. “Most likely he will simply be eliminated there.”. . .

Bout's message in full reads: 

Dear Mr. Donald Trump,

I believe your life is in peril because during your term in the White House you had tried to save the American people from the genocidal globalist cabal, to protect the family, and to prevent the global conflicts which now destabilize the world.

Now this evil swamp is destryong(sp) the last foundations of the American republic, in fact turning it to full blown anarcho-tyranny. The future of humanity and life is at stake.

The Biden administration will not stop just by dragging you through the court/prison industrial complex, they would sooner end your life than let you stand in their way.

You will be welcome in Russia. You will have safe haven, and from here you can lead the fight for the American people, the rebellion against globalists, and for the bright future of the planet.  Sincerely yours, Viktor Bout

Riley Gaines Threatens to Sue San Fran. State University after Students Attack Her -

Kevin McCarthy Facing GOP Lawmaker Backlash After NYT Leak: ‘Can’t Imagine’ He’ll Make It Through His Term

 Kevin McCarthy Facing GOP Lawmaker Backlash After NYT Leak: ‘Can’t Imagine’ He’ll Make It Through His Term (msn.com)  "House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is facing backlash from GOP lawmakers after the New York Times published a report suggesting the Republican was blaming his own leadership for the lack of a budget.

"According to the Times report this week, McCarthy reportedly said he doubted House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington (R-TX) could deliver a budget proposal, and he called Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) an “ineffective” leader. McCarthy denied the accusation that his leadership team is not unified though.

"An Axios report later revealed some blowback to McCarthy’s alleged comments and suggested the speaker may be on “rocky ground” in his leadership position.

“ 'The members I’ve spoken with are just stunned by his rebuking of his budget chair, and certainly of our leadership,” one unidentified House Republican told the outlet. “I can’t imagine [he will last an entire term].”

Will you be surprised to learn that the Kentucky shooter was probably a leftist? -

Andrea Widberg   "You already know about the terrible event in Louisville, Kentucky, which saw a disgruntled former bank employee open fire at a meeting, killing several people and wounding several more. Invariably, after a shooting, leftists blame the GOP because it supports the right to armed self-defense. In Sturgeon’s case, though, it seems that, once again, this mass murder was probably carried out by a leftist.

"As far as the Biden administration is concerned, if there’s a shooting, it’s the GOP’s fault because the GOP, along with the majority of Americans, still believes in the Second Amendment:. . .

"The Democrats’ reflexive desire to blame guns may be because it’s the Democrats (especially people in Democrat-run cities) who are doing the shooting. There’s even a meme for it.

Meme; unknown creator.

. . ."In the case of the Louisville shooting, Twitchy put together a collection of tweets that purport to show Connor Sturgeon’s social media accounts. We don’t yet have proof that they were his accounts, but the fact that they were apparently being erased in real time indicates that they probably belonged to him. And how many Connor Sturgeons are there who worked for Old National Bank in the Louisville Metropolitan Area? It’s not that common a name.

"One of the signs that Sturgeon was a leftist is that his LinkedIn account identifies his pronouns. . . ."

If The Media Suddenly Stops Talking About That Louisville Bank Shooter -- There's A REASON (clashdaily.com)  . . .We routinely see knee-jerk accusations of ‘white supremacist’ violence etc when the victims are non-white. (When it later turns out that the ‘racist’ killer was also non-white, those stories are quietly dropped and forgotten, often without retractions or apologies.)

"If the aggressor is in one or more of the minority/oppressed categories, either they will be downplayed, or some will reframe the violence as a response to some kind of bad treatment by an oppressor class.

"But more likely, stories that are inconvenient to the narrative quickly pivot to some other Democrat narrative or fall out of the news cycle completely.

"For example, when a Christian school was shot up by a female-to-male transexual, the preferred storyline wasn’t about the killer, and it CERTAINLY wasn’t about anti-Christian bigotry.". . .

. . ."Sturgeon reportedly texted a friend prior to the shooting saying that "he was feeling suicidal and would shoot up the bank."

"In one group chat message, Sturgeon reportedly sent photos that included one that stated "they won’t listen to words or protests, let’s see if they hear this," one that said "Monday vibes" and "I could burn this whole place down," and another that stated "I know what I have to do but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it." A photo of the chat was reportedly posted to Sturgeon’s Instagram, with the same handle, on Monday morning.". . .

Raytheon Unveils New Dylan Mulvaney-Branded Patriot Missile |

 Babylon Bee  

. . ."President Biden immediately celebrated this new line of missiles, hailing it as a leap forward in lethal diversity.

" 'It's got this Dylan fella's face all over it," President Biden said in short remarks before he made several attempts to board Air Force One and depart for an Easter holiday weekend. ". . .

. . ."The missile features a trans flag and Mulvaney's image along with sparkling glitter and speakers to blast Lady Gaga songs as it soars through the sky toward its intended target. Upon impact, the missile is also designed to explode in an enormous mushroom cloud of pink confetti as it inflicts mass death and destruction. "This really is a perfect combination of modern warfare and fabulous transgender pride," said a Raytheon spokesperson. "And that's what we're all about here at Raytheon."

"U.S. Military officials were hoping this would be the first of many Dylan Mulvaney-themed weaponry projects in the future, including pink Humvees, ICBMs, and machine guns that have had their barrels surgically removed.". . .

Not satire: Bud Light Sales Plummet After Consumers Revolt Over Transgender Campaign… | Weasel Zippers

. . .Bud Light suffered a bloodbath this past weekend.

"Consumers nationwide revolted against the nation’s top-selling beer brand after it stepped “recklessly” into the culture wars last week with its new spokesperson, transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, according to bar owners and beer-industry experts around the country.

“ 'I think society flexes it muscles sometimes and reminds manufacturers that the consumer is still in charge,” Jeff Fitter, owner of Case & Bucks, a restaurant and sports bar in Barnhart, Missouri, told FOX Business.

“ 'In Bud Light’s effort to be inclusive, they excluded almost everybody else, including their traditional audience.”

"But even Fitter’s bar witnessed a catastrophic decrease in sales of the hometown suds among loyal and local consumers this week.". .

The Straight Hate On Bud Light Is Real And These Sales Numbers Show It | The Daily Wire 

 It wasn’t just Case & Bucks that saw sales of Bud plummet. Brewhouse owner Alex Kesaris told Fox that 80% of Bud Light drinkers ordered something else this week, “while the 20% who did order the beer ‘weren’t on social media and hadn’t heard yet.'”

WATCH: Bud Light Distributor Says He's Never Seen 'Such Little Sales on This Product' – RedState  ..."While I feel for this guy, I’m still not buying Bud Light. And while I’m not in the market for a sports bra, I wouldn’t buy one from Nike, who have decided the best way to sell women’s bras is to advertise them as worn by a biological male.

"It’s hard to fathom just what the heck the brass were thinking when they approved this ridiculous partnership or when they hired the person in charge of this alienating pivot. RedState‘s Nick Arama brought you the story of Vice President of Marketing Alissa Heinerscheid, who decided the brand was too “fratty” and that it needed more “inclusivity” in its marketing. Actually, neither statement is true, Alissa; many of us enjoyed the lowbrow but funny commercials of the past, and the “non-elite” status of the beer.

"Bud Light is a blue-collar beer, a brewski that guys and gals like to drink when watching sports or hanging out, a relatively cheap drink for young people who don’t want to blow twenty bucks on some hoppy IPA. No one claims it’s for connoisseurs. I’m betting most of its clientele is not made up of the kind of people who want to watch a biological male prance around in a dress, take bubble baths, and talk about their “girlhood,” and it looks like I’m right."

AOC's 'Small Brain/Big Mouth' Syndrome Gets Worse Every Day –

 PJ Media

DISCLAIMER: Despite what she may think, the following paragraphs are in no way an expression of a repressed desire to date Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) of New York. Everyone knows that if I were to ever date a leftist from this Congress it would be Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. Stephen Kruiser

"Congressional Mean Girl AOC has presented a variety of problems almost from the moment she was sworn in over four years ago.

"Yes, it does feel like she has been around a lot longer than that.

"America’s Dumbest Bartender has been given a platform to espouse her commie nonsense and never be challenged. That reinforces in her mind that she’s right, which she never is. Her farther-than-far-left ideology is a freedom-choking weed that keeps on growing no matter what the weather is like.

"AOC’s latest antic involves urging people to ignore any law that isn’t convenient for them. Victoria has the story:

After a Texas federal judge ruled on abortion pills, the Left collapsed onto their fainting couches and demanded free smelling salts. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was one of them, and Sandy was brooking no argument that perhaps the judge had a point. In fact, the New York twirly girl-turned-bartender-turned congresswoman told CNN what Democrats should do: “Ignore it.”

AOC confidently nodded to Anderson Cooper and unblinkingly asserted her belief Sen. Ron Wyden’s (D-Ore.) assessment of the ruling.

After the Texas judge issued his decision, Wyden tweeted that “there is no basis for this ruling in law, and I think that the Biden administration can and must ignore the judge and keep mifepristone on the market and this medication available for every woman in America.”

Germans Have Given Up On “Green” Energy

An overwhelming majority of the German population is of the opinion that a successful energy transition is not realistic. According to a Forsa survey, 88 percent of respondents share this view.

"88 percent! That is stunning."

The Germans have less and less confidence in the Federal Government’s plans for the energy transition. Only ten percent still believe that renewable energy systems such as photovoltaics and wind power can adequately meet the country’s energy needs.
