Another day, another example of how our illiberal “inclusivity” mandates are taking a jackhammer to the integrity and fairness of female athletics. We’ve seen it in golf, swimming, skateboarding, cycling, surfing and volleyball. The latest entry for the women’s sports hall of shame happened on the hardwood. During a girl’s hoops game earlier this month in Massachusetts, Collegiate Charter School in Lowell forfeited a game against KIPP Academy at halftime because they had three players go down with injuries. The team, already battered and bruised, wanted to preserve themselves for the upcoming playoffs, according to the school’s athletic director.

These guys will kill what there is of women’s professional sports. For instance who would pay to see a PGA tournament if the winner was likely to be some guy calling himself Tigress Woods? They might get into golf , soccer and tennis but I have a feeling they won’t get much support from the players in the WNBA.

At this point, any girl or woman who willingly participates in any sport where a man is on the opposing woman's team deserves what she gets. The way to cure this is not to participate..Once you see there is a guy on the other team walk away. Don't even start.

When a man shows up pretending to be a woman and wanting to play sports the real women need to walk away. If there is no one to play against, if everyone refuses to watch then maybe something will finally happen. If you are not a biological woman then you CANNOT participate. Start a tranny league if you wish but leave the girls/women alone. Your DNA defines your biology not the game you are playing in your head. You can pretend you want to be a kangaroo if you want. Hop around your backyard. But that does not make you a kangaroo. The same with pretending you are a woman. I will not participate in your fantasy and frankly you can stick your "preferred pronouns" where the sun don't shine. Leave them alone and let them play.

I suppose the "woke liberals" do not want to hurt the feelings of these lunatics who claim to be what they aren't , but hurt feelings is a lot better than physical harm to the real girls who oppose them

Where were the referees??? Why didn't they call the game? Isn't it their job to ensure the safety of the players? They, the refs, should have intervened, maybe after the first girl was injured and certainly after the second. The third girl should never have had to end up in what was obviously a significant amount of pain. There is no reason that the bio-girls' team should have had to forfeit, which will go down in the record books as a loss for them. If adults--parents, coaches, refs--would act like adults, this would not be a problem. Full disclosure: When my older son was in high school, over 20 years ago, he and some friends thought they would make a point about sex discrimination, so they tried to sign up for girls' volleyball. The principal told them to take a hike. As he should have.

The policy is clear - Boys team & women's team. You have a vagina, then you play in the women's team. If you have a penis, you have no business in the women's team. The only thing these men, who think they are women, need to do is to check out their crotch. If they don't see a vagina between their legs, my suggestion to them is to get mental help because there is definitely something wrong with them. In other words, you guys who think you are women, are in dire need of some psychiatric help to get your brains straightened out to the fact that you are men.

Females athletes never "consented" to participate against male athletes. Their only "choice" is "take it or leave it." Years of training rarely overcome the mismatch of male vs female bodies competing against each other. Title IX originally was meant to protect female athletes, and it did, stating that "...no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Back then schools were not required to spend as much on female sports as they did on the males. That changed with Title IX. With that, standout female athletes could win scholarships, just as the standout male athletes did. That's what was supposed to happen. More opportunities for women than they previously had. Today, our politicians and bureaucrats on the left no longer believe women are entitled to the protections of Title IX as expressed in the original law. Instead, decades later, they tell us efforts to keep males off of female sports teams and out of their rest rooms and locker rooms, is "discrimination on the basis of sex." Females have no recourse to fair treatment, with the current far left agenda. They can risk bodily harm, including getting their teeth knocked out, limbs broken, and severe head injuries. What they cannot do is participate in fair athletic competitions thanks to politicians and bureaucrats who opened up female competitions to mediocre male athletes. No proof required of them. They must be believed when they claim to identify as female.

It's beyond infuriating to see males in female athletic competition. As many here know, this particular LDotter is a male professional golfer who is quite aware of the differences between men and women in athletic competition. If I had been, say, a brother of one of the girls injured by the hulking six-footer with the facial hair, I would have made certain that said six-footer left the arena that day injured more severely than what he did to the three girls. Eventually, a father, uncle, or big brother is going to kill one of these fake women playing athletics against real women. You can just about count on it happening. It would be fun to take one of these cheaters apart physically. And the girls would enjoy the show.

Attorney Terrence Bradley testified yesterday in the hearing on the possible disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Counsel Nathan Wade in the “conspiracy so immense” charges against President Trump et al. pending in Georgia state court. Bradley is Wade’s former law partner and lawyer in his divorce proceeding. He knows when the Willis/Wade romance began because Wade told him. Indeed, as Techno Fog notes, Bradley has previously stated in text messages to Ashleigh Merchant (attorney for defendant Michael Roman) that: (1) the relationship between Willis and Wade started before he was appointed special prosecutor,

Fani Willis wearing her dress backwards was the least of her worries while on the stand answering to ethics complaints in Fulton County, Ga., last week. Body language experts say the Fulton County top prosecutor has much bigger issues than simply storming the hearing, sashaying down the aisle, and demanding her surprised underlings let her testify. Willis' dress punctuated the absurdity of the story the sashaying DA tried to peddle. She spun yarns to explain why she did nothing wrong because she paid in cash.

One of the funniest passages in Mark Twain’s autobiography involves the effect of old age on his mental acuity: “When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened.” It’s less amusing when we recall that this could have been said by President Biden — if he could string together two coherent sentences. The latest example of his ability to remember things that never happened occurred last week, when he told fundraisers that foreign leaders have warned him former President Trump threatens democracy.

30 Questions Likely To Stump The ‘Sharp’

Joe Biden has the greatest mental acuity of any president in the history of the United States — at least that’s what the White House wants you to believe. Throughout the past week, regime-approved media and administration officials have twisted themselves into pretzels trying to gaslight Americans into believing Biden is as “sharp” and “vigorous” as he’s ever been, despite incident after incident showing he’s in mental decline. These laughable claims come in response to the release of the Hur report, which found that Biden mishandled classified documents but concluded that “no criminal charges are warranted in this matter” because the president

Why would a president running for reelection refuse to meet with the Speaker of the House to discuss a national crisis that most voters blame on the president himself? This would be regarded as bizarre behavior under any circumstances, but it’s particularly perverse considering that the crisis in question is illegal immigration — the signature issue of Biden’s probable challenger in November. Moreover, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, 63 percent of the voters disapprove of the way he has handled immigration. Yet Biden refuses to discuss the problem. It’s almost as if he thinks it somehow works to his advantage.

The deuce you say. It took several days, but NBC News' Ken Dilanian reported today -- on a weekend -- that Robert Hur actually had a case against Joe Biden for felony violations of 18 USC 793. Dilanian refers to this as "one of the most surprising findings" in Hur's report, but was it surprising at all? To Democrats, Hur’s finding that there was no criminal case to bring against the president is the most important takeaway. But to some national security experts, the disclosure that Biden told his ghostwriter that he discovered classified documents in his Virginia home in 2017 —

If Joe Biden is unfit to stand trial, he’s unfit to be president. Special counsel Robert Hur’s nearly 400-page report is full of damning evidence of Biden’s carelessness with vital national-security secrets. And his defense of Biden is that the man is just too old and forgetful to be held responsible for his actions. Consider Biden’s storage of Afghan war secrets in his Delaware home, including a classified handwritten memo he wrote to President Barack Obama in 2009 that Biden kept because he thought it would vindicate his opposition to sending more troops.

The worst kept secret in Washington is the President’s accelerating cognitive decline. Yet, when special counsel Robert Hur’s report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents made note of this obvious fact, the White House responded with outrage. Hur opted not to bring charges against him for several reasons, including how a jury trial might play out: “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” This led to a hastily called news conference, during which a semi-coherent Biden shouted at reporters as if they were attempting to take away his car keys.

Former President Trump is all but certain to win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and he will defeat President Biden in November — if the voters are allowed to decide the outcome. Though a number of polls show Trump leading in most if not all of the seven states that will be truly competitive this year, only Georgia and North Carolina have enacted meaningful election integrity legislation since the last presidential contest. The remaining five have doggedly refused to adopt serious reforms that will ensure fair and honest elections. Not coincidentally, they include states that Biden won in 2020 by tiny margins after protracted post-election vote counting.

It’s instructive to observe where Americans are moving, and where they are leaving. Such comparisons are particularly revealing when made during, or immediately following, a crisis, such as the recent Covid-19 pandemic. States dealt with that crisis quite differently. Movement statistics from recent years help to establish which of the 50 “laboratories of democracy” responded best to the pandemic. The Census Bureau publishes annual data on each state’s net domestic migration—that is, how many U.S. residents have moved to a given state, minus the number who moved from that state to elsewhere in the U.S.

If you had told the average person that an anarchist or an airman had set himself on fire to protest Israel’s campaign against Islamic terrorists, you would get two very different reactions. Unsurprisingly the media led with the data point most likely to produce a favorable reaction. And Aaron Bushnell cynically played the same game, wearing (the wrong) uniform to his Hamas suicide attempt rather than the Antifa red in which he had been previously photographed. The Washington Post gets around to admitting that Bushnell was an “anarchist”. [SNIP] But the Washington Post then misleadingly suggests he was raised in a Christian cult.

As Denver faces a budget crisis due to 40,000 illegal immigrants arriving in the last year, the city is warning hourly workers that they may be furloughed, while also considering hiring illegal immigrants to work for the city, The Daily Wire has learned. A spokeswoman for Denver mayor Mike Johnston told The Daily Wire that the budget crisis was caused by illegal immigrants being unable to work, causing them to be a drain on taxpayer dollars. The idea was to solve that by having them work directly for the city, she said. She said that a full-time salary funded by taxpayers was “not necessarily” more costly than social services.
