World Rugby's transgender ban WILL NOT be enforced by Canadian rugby authorities

Wonder what America would look like under Gavin Newsom? Look at Canada under Trudeau.

 - Rebel News   "The transanity continues! Bluevale Collegiate Institute in Waterloo, Ont. was the site of a female rugby playoff match this past weekend.

"The game featured the now-infamous Fergus Highlanders — or perhaps they should call themselves the Fergus Cheaters owing to the fact that they have a secret weapon on the team, namely a biological male named “Ash” Davis. 

"My last report exposing Ash went viral, racking up millions of views online and leaving many to wonder what the heck is going on here in the Great White North…  

"We have since learned that Ash is more gender-fluid than we initially feared — it was only one year ago that he won the hardest hitter award in a male rugby league. He has since left a trail of destruction, injuring numerous women who have had the great misfortune of playing against him. 

"Ash has an Adam’s apple. Male pattern baldness is setting in. And it’s impossible to ignore those leg and arm muscles — it’s sickening. 

"And so it was, I returned to the rugby field to get to the bottom of this. How is anyone OK with a biological male injuring female opponents?

The Biden Performance Review

 


2020: Obama Privately Voiced Concerns That Joe Biden Could 'F--- Things up' (businessinsider.com)    . . ."The report says Obama told an unnamed Democrat during the 2020 primary campaign, in which he declined to endorse any candidate: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f--- things up."
"Obama has now backed Biden in Democrats' race against Trump but is said to be concerned privately that Biden does not have an intimate connection with the electorate.
""And you know who really doesn't have it? Joe Biden," Obama told another Democratic candidate during the party's primary, according to Politico, specifically suggesting Biden lacked an intimate bond with the Iowa electorate.
"Politico said there had been lingering tensions between the Biden and Obama camps over the former president's level of support for Biden's White House aspirations dating back to 2016, when Obama backed Hillary Clinton, his former secretary of state.
"In this year's race, Obama did not endorse Biden until Biden had already seemed to lock up the party's nomination following momentum that began with his decisive win in South Carolina." . . .

Hot Air, August 27, 2021   #1; That time Obama was right: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up."
. . ."Biden is old and tired. His run for president was a vanity move. He felt entitled to the office after having run two other times and serving as vice-president. He had no political accomplishments to point to other than remaining in office for more than 40 years. He seems removed from reality, detached from what is happening, and pointing his finger at others. He says the buck stops with him, that he makes the decisions, and then when it all falls apart he blames Trump or Afghan troops or Republicans. It’s who he is – not a leader.

"One very wrong-headed move during his statement to the press yesterday was to incorporate his son Beau’s death. He conflated his grief over losing his son to that of families losing their loved ones in Afghanistan. Here’s the thing – yes, losing a child at any age is tragic. However, Beau joined the Delaware Army National Guard in 2003 and became a member of the National Guard’s 261st Signal Brigade. He was promoted to captain in 2005. He served in Iraq for a year. At the time he was also Attorney General and didn’t resign from that position while he was deployed. At the time, Joe was running for vice-president and said he didn’t approve of his son going to Iraq. Beau served as a judge advocate general, he was not in combat. His unit was a communications unit.

"At the time Joe said, “He’ll go. I don’t want him going,” he said while campaigning according to The Atlantic. “But I don’t want my grandsons or granddaughters going back in 15 years, so how we leave makes a big difference.” Ironic now, given the fact we’ll eventually likely be back in Afghanistan.

#2; That time Obama was right: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up." – HotAir

  . . ."Beau died of brain cancer in 2015. Biden blames the chemicals released by military burn pits as the cause of Beau’s brain cancer. I’m not here to argue that one way or the other. Beau’s death, though, is not the same as those of the soldiers yesterday. He made his speech to the nation about himself. Where was all the empathy, Joe?" . . .



Bigotry in Motion: The Frenzied Woke Attacks Jason Aldean -

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics 


. . ."So, I had to wait a few extra days until now to listen carefully to and view the music video of Jason Aldean’s “Try That In A Small Town.” Although the song first was released in May, the public tumult among the woke and the mass media (same thing) began only after the official video was released in July. I begin here by evaluating the song’s key lyrics, making up its first stanza, with strict scrutiny.

" 'Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk.”

"According to NPR and the Columbia Journalism Review, this is a real thing. It is called the “knockout game.” Is it unique to Black people? Why assume so? What does it say about a person who sees the term, hears the song and condemnation of this despicable behavior, and immediately assumes that the resentment of the law-abiding lyricist is targeted at Black people, not at the animals of all colors, races, ethnicities, and religions who would do that? Where is the hint in the lyric that — wink, wink — the lyricist means Black people?

" 'Carjack an old lady at a red light.”

"Do non-Black people never carjack? Is carjacking the exclusive domain of Black people? Are White or Asian carjackers guilty of cultural appropriation? I did not know that. Where in the above lyric is there any hint at race? And, for that matter, why not assume that it is an innocent Black elderly woman being victimized by a racist, blue-skinned Albanian?

" 'Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store.”

"I never was much of a “drinker” except for wine every Friday night at Shabbat dinner and Saturday at Shabbat lunch — and the first Shabbat of May, the Shabbat of the Kentucky Derby, when I would mix, serve to my Shabbat lunch guests, and drink mint juleps in honor of my amazing year in Louisville when I was honored to clerk for the Hon. Danny J. Boggs, who was chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit for six years. Such imbibing had to stop “cold turkey” after my lung transplant. Still, over the years, I have been at liquor stores. It is my impression that White people also patronize liquor stores. Also people of all other colors out there. Fortunately, I tended to patronize stores that were in the equivalent of “small towns” — i.e., Orthodox Jewish communities — where there is virtually no crime by the locals because, well, because. But what is in those lyrics that imply that Blacks, in particular, hold up liquor stores? Why assume so? And why not assume that a hard-working Black entrepreneur is the owner of the liquor store assaulted by the gun wielder? What does it say about the offended woke listener, not about the composers and singer, that such a lyric spells B-L-A-C-K?

There's Nothing Un-American About Protecting Your Kids -

 T.R. Clancy; American Thinker

The left calls it "banning books":  "As Philadelphia writer Kyle Sammin wrote last summer, dispelling the book-ban falsehood, "no one anywhere in America is banning books."  That a book has been excluded from a library's collection doesn't constitute a "ban," especially if it's still "available for purchase anywhere in America!"

. . ."According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia, it was "Nazi-dominated student groups [who] carried out public burnings ... in 34 university towns and cities."  It was the Nazi plan "to synchronize professional and cultural organizations with Nazi ideology and policy (Gleichschaltung)."  Nazi beliefs were imposed everywhere from town councils to glee clubs.  It was the Nazi Students' Association, in cooperation with Goebbels's Propaganda Ministry, who proclaimed a "nationwide Action against the Un-German Spirit,'" the climax of which was public book-burnings.

"Yet, while students stoked the bonfires, their willing conformity to the Reich is why the event was a "presage [of] an era of state censorship and control of culture."

"Or does anyone imagine typical American parents control the culture?

"Hardly.  Hollywood, mainstream media, academia, and Democrat policies leave no doubt progressives have controlled the culture for decades, and still do.  

"This is especially evident on university campuses, the virtual Forward Operating Bases of intolerance, speech codes, and groupthink.  Three out of five college students self-censor their views on politics, religion, or race.  Polls show as many as half of college students would "punish" free speech, 41% agree "physical violence can be justified to prevent [a] person from espousing" hateful views, and an astounding 48% agree "some kinds of expression are so offensive they deserve extremely harsh punishment — like the death penalty."  Conservative speakers on campus are routinely shouted down, attacked, or disinvited lest their presence on campus "harm" students.  In April, a mob of elite Stanford law students, "egged on by an administrator," shouted down a sitting federal judge, completely preventing his lecture.

"Meanwhile, evidence of the federal government's systematic censorship, particularly the Biden administration, piles up. . . ."

Mike Pence's Secret Notes About His Conversations With Trump Revealed in Latest Indictment

 Mike Pence's Secret Notes About His Conversations With Trump Revealed in Latest Indictment (resistthemainstream.com)


"The Justice Department indicted former President Donald Trump a third time in four months. The indictment flows from testimony and evidence provided by former Vice President Mike Pence.

"Pence, a current GOP presidential contender, took “contemporaneous notes” of his conversations with Trump in the days and weeks leading up to the breach of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

"The new 45-page indictment alleges that testimony before the Jan. 6 Select Committee and Pence’s memoir, “So Help Me God,” indicates Trump knowingly made multiple false statements regarding the 2020 election.

"An excerpt from the indictment reads:

“As the January 6 congressional certification proceeding approached and other efforts to impair, obstruct, and defeat the federal government function failed, [Trump] sought to enlist the Vice President to use his ceremonial role at the certification to fraudulently alter the election results.”. . .

Mike Pence: No surprises - American Thinker 

 . . .We know his ego was bruised by Trump’s typically honest and sharp reaction to his singular cravenness in passing on the relatively mild opportunity to send the pending election results back to the States.

But is that all this really is? Is Pence just bruised?. . .

An Avowed 'Anti-Trumper' Has a Surprising Moment of Self-Awareness, and Then It All Falls Apart – RedState  

Education doesn’t cause someone to believe that a man can become a woman. Politics does. Brooks is correct, though, that normal people are left walking on eggshells, wondering what word has been rendered offensive on any given day.

 "Sometimes I see a piece published that genuinely surprises me. That happened on Thursday morning when I came across David Brooks’ latest at The New York Times.

"The self-described “anti-Trumper” has spent years denigrating the Republican Party and its voters, insisting that he and his like-minded cohorts truly know what’s best. Brooks has been one of the more self-righteous examples of that anti-Trump movement, going from someone who once called Scooter Libby’s conviction a “farce” to fawning over the crease in Barack Obama’s pants.

"Still, in his latest writing, Brooks managed to have a brief moment of self-awareness, describing how the “elites” in modern culture preach diversity and equity to the downtrodden while setting up systems that ultimately benefit themselves.

The meritocracy isn’t only a system of exclusion; it’s an ethos. During his presidency Barack Obama used the word “smart” in the context of his policies over 900 times. The implication was that anybody who disagreed with his policies (and perhaps didn’t go to Harvard Law) must be stupid.. . .

Enjoy your water heater while you still can; Democrats again

Why are they doing this to us? TD

 Washington Examiner


"Ever heard the phrase “Give someone an inch and they’ll take a mile”? Americans gave Joe Biden the Oval Office, and now he is taking away their cars , dishwashers, gas stoves , and, most recently, their water heaters.

'Biden’s Department of Energy on July 21 released new proposed energy-efficiency standards for water heaters. This is the latest round in the administration’s ongoing home-invasion campaign in the name of stopping climate change and saving the world, all while actively making life harder for everyday Americans.

'If finalized as currently written, beginning in 2029, this regulation would require new boiler installations to use electric heat pumps , which pull heat from the surrounding air to bring water up to temperature, instead of heating the water internally. Moreover, standards for traditional gas-fired water heaters will become stricter, thus making them more costly, which is in line with the Biden administration’s push toward full home appliance electrification.

'This latest efficiency mandate, like the ones that came before, stems from the Environmental Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, signed into law by President Gerald Ford at a time when there were great fears of energy scarcity. But in 2023, with the advent of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, more energy is available to us now than ever before. According to the Energy Information Administration, in 1975 America imported more than 5,800 barrels of crude oil and petroleum products daily. But in 2023, America is the largest producer of oil and natural gas in the world and a net exporter of them.

"Following Biden’s crackdown on dishwashers , the water heater rule is the latest in a long series of attempts (in 18 categories, to be exact) to restrict Americans’ ability to enjoy cheap, reliable energy, brought to us by conventional fuels. The onerous home appliance efficiency mandates will raise prices of appliances, disproportionately hurting poor people and small businesses." . . .

Hunter Biden investigation: Why the Devon Archer testimony is so important | Washington Examiner   "When Devon Archer sits down on Monday with the House Oversight Committee, the Hunter Biden investigation could enter a new and more significant phase.

"That’s because Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden’s and a former friend to the family, is expected to testify about the extent of President Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings, potentially roping the president more deeply into a scandal he has thus far studiously avoided.

"Archer will be the closest business associate of Hunter Biden’s to speak with Congress to date. The two served together on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, and handled a range of other business deals together through Rosemont Seneca, their investment firm.

"While other witnesses have discussed the evidence that Hunter Biden engaged in illegal activity during his time working for overseas companies, Archer’s testimony could be the first that directly links Joe Biden to the lobbying his son did." . . .

Devon Archer, the man who will testify to Congress about his business dealings with Hunter Biden: Who is he? | Fox News    "Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s longtime friend and business associate, is expected to testify on Capitol Hill Monday and share intimate details about foreign ventures he worked on and the level at which President Biden was allegedly involved.

"Archer is set to appear before the House Oversight Committee Monday and is reportedly preparing to tell lawmakers that President Biden met with dozens of Hunter's business associates while he was serving as vice president between 2009 and 2017." . . .

It’s Year 5 of the Biden Crime Family Coverup | RealClearPolitics  "A truism that came out of the Watergate scandal is that often the coverup is worse than the crime. But that is not the case in the unraveling Bidengate scandal. The alleged crime here is so bad that it is probably the worst ever committed by an American president.
"Yet the coverup should be studied, too. It deserves superlatives for its longevity, inventiveness, and sheer audacity. The strategy has been simple: deny, deflect, destroy. Deny the facts. Deflect with distractions, and when all else fails, work tirelessly to destroy Trump, who was among the first to raise questions about the Biden family’s shady dealings. At Year 5, it may be the most successful coverup in modern history, especially since so many of the facts have been in plain sight for the entire time." . . . 
"Hunter Biden might be in prison now, and his father would have retired to Delaware to live out his final years in shame.
"Instead, Democrats in Congress put Trump on trial for daring to notice that which must not be named – the influence-peddling scheme run by Joe Biden and his kin. The impeachment was America’s crash course on Ukrainian corruption, but somehow the mainstream media missed the story and tried to convince the public that Biden was the victim. They hid the evidence then, just as they did last week when Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal fell apart." . . .


UPDATE: Douglas Murray mocks media yet to cover Hunter Biden's 'sweetheart' plea deal rejection    "Many media outlets have not yet covered Hunter Biden’s misdemeanours, and his “sweetheart” plea deal rejection has been a “surprise” to them, according to author Douglas Murray.
“ 'It was meant to see him plead on these relatively small minor charges, get a slap on the wrist and then get on with things,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “ 'But the judge in Delaware, it turned out, hadn’t been spoken to, as it were. She made sure that she actually read the detail of it and wasn't happy with it.' ”

Schumer and his little fists again

1. Jason Aldean’s “Racist” Courthouse

First, let’s talk about that Jason Aldean video that keeps your green-haired, trans-pansexual sister-in-law awake at night. Never mind that she/zhe/sheep never heard of Aldean before. Once zhe/zsa-zsa was told to jump, compliance kicked in.

The leftoid cranks screamed that Aldean’s video promoted lynching after an unemployed C.H.U.D. popped out of mumsie’s basement and revealed that a century ago, a black man was hung in front of the courthouse that is seen throughout the video.

How dare Aldean not search the history of what might have happened near a building?

What the self-loathers on the left failed to realize — or chose to ignore — is that Miley Cyrus, as Hannah Montana, shot a scene in front of the same building in her 2009 film, “The Movie.”

Why did Cyrus get a pass and not Aldean? Do you really need me to answer that? Okay!

Aldean is one of those abhorrent, straight, white men, and he is — even worse — a country music artist. I count four reasons for the left to fear him and weep violently into their N-95s." . . .   Keep reading; there's more.

Europe will be the Battleground … again

 EXCLUSIVE interview with Paul Craig Roberts: Europe will be the Battleground ... again - Herland Report (hannenabintuherland.com)

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts said in this exclusive interview to Herland Report, taped in 2018: “If there is a war, Europe is going to disappear. The Russians have already said that they will not fight another war on their territory. There are no independent governments in Europe, Washington owns them.” Say again?


 “If Russia and China have insulated themselves, it would be an enormous rise in power of Russia in the East and the complete collapse of the Western power. It would be like a world revolution. That would be the last thing that the Central Banks in the West would want because their main function is to expand Western financial hegemony.”

"Dr. Paul Craig Roberts is one of the leading political economists in the USA, awarded by the Treasury Department for “his outstanding contributions to the formulation of United States economic policy.”  He is also the chairman of the Institute for Political Economy, a former Wall Street editor, and an author of many books.

"Free intellectuals is a scarcity today. Most academics are dependent on state or private structures that demand conformity of opinion, while free thinkers such as Dr. Roberts depends on no one. It gives him a unique position to speak his mind, based on a lifetime of experience." . . .

Transgender researchers suffer from ‘traumatic harm’ when STEM students mock survey questions in their answers

 Eric Utter; American Thinker   . . ."Apparently, some students did not take the survey as

seriously as the gender researchers did, and have therefore drawn the ire of the intrepid, if
humorless, investigators. Of the 349 completed responses, 50 were of a mocking variety, and deemed “malicious” by the scientists -- who said they included “slurs, hate speech, or direct targeting of the research team.”

"Fully 12 percent of the “malicious” respondents identified their gender as an "Apache attack helicopter" (or similar aircraft), an apparent reference to a long-running meme meant to make light of individuals identifying as a broad range of “genders.”

"One student had the sheer audacity to write:

“I believe that is what is wrong with higher education. Students should be taught to focus on their chosen field and not their gender.”

"Students should be instructed in their chosen field, the one they are paying through the nose for, instead of being subjected to a radical social agenda? Egads!

"Another respondent wrote, “While I of course do not condone bullying or discrimination, I wish people in universities (especially the faculty) would not focus so much on gender and identity. That doesn’t matter.” Telling the faculty that’s supposed to be serving you that gender isn’t important to you, but being educated in your field is? The temerity! Hitler alert, Hitler alert!" . . .

That last comment turned out to be prescient: the OSU response turned out to be an accusation of fascism. We look for wisdom in the proper places and find only politically-driven silliness. TD

Biden the Democrat's albatross

 

'An albatross round his neck':  This phrase refers to lines from the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, in which the eponymous mariner, who shoots an albatross, is obliged to carry the burden of the bird hung around his neck as a punishment for and reminder of his ill deed.

"I really don’t like the President of the United States. Joe Biden has spent his life working tirelessly toward one thing more than anything else: to convince people he is a good man. He is not and never has been, as evidenced by how it took four years and political pressure from New York Times columnists to acknowledge the existence of one of his grandchildren. Now that people are beginning to notice and ask questions about things like how he got so rich, Joe has defaulted to the only defense left for him: He’s not corrupt, he’s just a horrible parent and brother." . . .
. . ."Biden has been unable to keep his hands off women. Even his supporters cringed when he was seen sniffing the hair, rubbing the shoulders or whispering into the ears of unsuspecting females, some of them minors. Stranger still, Biden waxed on about his commitment to the #MeToo movement. The handsy Biden has insisted that women who made accusations of sexual harassment must be believed." . . .
