The NCAA was threatening states that if they didn’t allow men to compete in women’s sports then they would pull tournaments from those states. The entire issue even caused a once-loved Republican governor, Kristi Noem, to lose her support within the party after she bent the knee and refused to sign a bill banning biological men from declaring themselves women and signing up to compete against them out of fear of losing the revenue. (Snip) the NCAA was totally bluffing and picked three states for their tournaments to happen in. (Snip) the NCAA has announced that Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee will be host to the Women’s College World Series softball regionals:

The NCAA's threats served a purpose - they outed Kristi Noem as a squish with no backbone.

I'll bet that they discovered that they could be EASILY replaced with a new organization run by the states, and when the states explained this to NCAA, they decided to sit down and shut up, and take their cut, rather than be unemployed, permanently.

#3 is right. If the "banned" states were to leave and form another governing body it could easily take over half the colleges (and viewers) with it. Most people would rather see Alabama's Crimson tide play Clemson or Tennessee than Holy Cross vs Rutgers. Money talks.

The NCAA may be deathly afraid of the Congress and State legislatures requiring athletes be paid.

Members of the 1776 Commission, which President Joe Biden disbanded on his first day in White House, are reportedly set to meet again with a renewed focus on combating the teaching of U.S. history based on the Marxist critical race theory. The advisory commission was established by the Trump administration in November 2020 to celebrate and promote the principles enshrined in the nation’s founding documents. It is commonly seen as a response to The New York Times’ controversial 1619 Project, which argues that the United States was founded as, and remains today, a racist nation.

Dateline—The State of Columbia (née, The District of Columbia, a.k.a. “The Swamp”) By all accounts, Joe Biden wasn’t expected to be the 21st century’s reincarnation of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Senator Biden wasn’t cerebral; stolidly toed his party’s line; smeared Republican Supreme Court nominees; ended up on the wrong side of nearly every major foreign policy decision; and had a penchant for off-color and highly offensive remarks as well as an affinity for plagiarism, which sank his 1988 presidential bid. Even when he was selected to be vice president (an early indication of then-Senator Barack Obama’s decision-making prowess), Biden’s singular achievement was milking his contacts with our nation’s friends and foes to

Palestinian terrorists are bombing their own people, as 700 of the rockets fired from Gaza by Hamas and other terror groups land in Gaza. The explosions kill innocent Palestinian civilians whose deaths are subsequently blamed on Israel. The Israeli Defense force concluded Wednesday that a Palestinian family of 8 in the Beit Hanoun area was killed by a Palestinian misfired rocket, not an Israeli airstrike which was initially reported. The Associated Press reported: Israeli military officials say a mysterious explosion that killed eight members of a Palestinian family on the first day of the current round of fighting in the Gaza Strip was caused by a misfired Palestinian rocket, not an Israeli airstrike.

The attempt of America’s ruling class to convict 455 persons of “armed insurrection”—i.e. of waging war against the United States, a species of treason—for protesting insufficient scrutiny of the 2020 election on January 6 in the Capitol, while at the same time it excuses and even cheers the burning and looting of courthouses, police stations, and downtowns all over America, is not the exercise of a “double standard.” The people in and out of government who do this are not corrupt. Instead, acting as part of the regime—the oligarchy—they are replacing the American republic and waging war to crush its remains. The sooner Americans realize that we are being governed

A Michigan judge on Tuesday threw out a case challenging the 2020 election in Antrim County. 13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer, a Republican nominee, ruled that plaintiff William Bailey, a resident of Antrim County, had received the relief he sought after he filed the lawsuit last year following the election. Bailey was seeking an independent audit of Antrim County’s election but Elsenheimer decided that the February risk-limiting audit conducted by county clerks, who reviewed a random sample of some 18,000 ballots, was sufficient under state law. “There is no right either in the constitutional section or the statue for the independent audit that Mr. Bailey seeks,” Elsenheimer told the court.

The 81-year-old has also indicated to them that he believes he’s “the only Democrat that can win the seat,” said a person briefed on the conversations. Given that Bernie Sanders is an independent who caucuses with Democrats, Leahy’s the only Democrat ever elected to the Senate from Vermont.

Barack Obama was a 'parasite' on the Democrat party who sucked it dry for his reelection and left it saddled with debt, a new book claims. The former President used the party structure as a 'host' for his 2012 campaign for a second term then treated it like a 'husk' to be discarded with $2.4million in debt. Obama's aloof demeanor and professorial detachment masked the reality that he was full of 'self-assured self-regard.' He oversaw the 'pilfering of talent, money, resources, and purpose' away from the Democratic National Committee to his own reelection team.

There’s a new survey out about 2024, and it has great news for President Donald Trump. Even after being shut down on social media and having his primary avenue of communication — Twitter — cut off, turns out the Republican base still wants Trump to run for president again. According to a new McLaughlin & Associates survey, 73% of the base wants Trump to run again in 2024. Even more would vote for him if he did run, with 83% saying they would do so. Those are some pretty big numbers, and it’s clear that it means the base hasn’t moved on from Trump.
