Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/27/2023 1:37:23 PM

ESPN recognized Lia Thomas in a TV special dedicated to Women’s History Month, sparking outrage from female competitors who swam against the transgender-identifying man from the University of Pennsylvania. The segment honored Thomas for being the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA Division I championship title by winning the 500 freestyle race. “Thomas made her debut as a member of the women’s team in December 2021,” the network said in a glowing highlight, complete with uplifting instrumental music, of the student’s collegiate swimming career. Thomas was on the men’s team until sophomore year, after which he began transitioning.

As one of the head of the Five Families said (on a different matter), "That's an infamita." So now a mentally ill guy who cheats at swimming by taking on women unfairly is worthy of ESPN's special recognition for "women"? There ain't one damn cell in Will Thomas's body with an XX chromosome. Not one. He's 100% male, with equipment, and heterosexual.

Must suck to be a woman. Plus women must be pretty incompetent. A women can't even get a recognition for women sports month. It has to go to a guy. It used to be that people would give you grief if you said men were better than women in almost every way. Now the left is flat out pushing it. I'm so confused.

Allowing men to "compete" as women results in a rigged athletic competition, and robs women of their right to fair competition. Redistributing American resources to illegal aliens posing as asylum seekers is another way Dems have found to help foreign actors cheat the American people. What's with the ongoing hostility toward ordinary Americans?

Maybe it's time for these women to break the NCAA's monopoly on women's college sports. Why can't these top athletes compete independently and post the videos on youtube? Who needs ESPN? The athletes could pick and choose who they compete against either one-on-one or against a group (maybe some ambitious high school swimmers, post-collegiate swimmers, or swimmers from non-Division I colleges). The NCAA probably has some rules surrounding this, but if they don't take any earnings from the videos, what's the problem? If done right, the videos may prove more lucrative than college tuition. They could compete anywhere they want: in an Olympic size pool, at Lake Tahoe, one of the Great Lakes, the SF Bay. I'd watch that. It's time for these women to realize that, thanks to Title IX, they have more power than they know.

And why not? Many here are too young to recall the original tranny in women's sports...Renee Richards, formerly known as born Richard Raskind. Nearly 50 years ago (s)he went to court for eligibility to compete in the women's US Tennis Open...and won her case. The US Olympic Committee complained, "there is competitive advantage for a male who has undergone a sex change surgery as a result of physical training and development as a male." The court ruled "This person is now a female." Further, it found that requiring Richards to pass a gender test was "grossly unfair, discriminatory and inequitable, and a violation of her rights." Richards never won a pro tournament. Some advantage. Its highest ranking was #20. So, where has everyone been for the last 50 years?

Keep repeating the same devastating business and broadcasting mistakes and keep digging the hole deeper. Report Sports news only. Stay out of politics and stop supporting foolish social engineering policies- get back to just sports casting. Do you really know who your demographics mainly are? Likely straight men.

Former President Donald Trump has taken serious heat since late last week, when he shared an article on his Truth Social account that included an image of him holding a baseball bat next to a picture of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Yet contrary to corporate media narratives, Trump did not create the image and says he did not see a preview of the photo before he posted a link to the article. The bizarre post led to several media outlets claiming Trump was inciting violence against Bragg, who Trump previously announced intended to indict him on a case many legal scholars, including Trump critics,

The suspect who killed six people at a Nashville Christian school is the second transgender-identified woman who has attacked a school since 2019. On Monday, transgender-identified Audrey Elizabeth Hale, 28, killed three adults and three children at the Nashville school. In 2019, Alec McKinney was aged 17 when she helped killed one teenager at a school in Colorado while she claimed to be transgender. Female mass shooters are very rare, but a 2011 study of 133 women who went through Sweden’s masculinization treatment showed that: female-to-males had higher crime rates than female controls … [and] did not differ from male controls.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in February that it was suspending its participation in the New START nuclear arms treaty with the U.S., citing America’s military support for Kyiv as making it impossible for Moscow to engage with Washington. White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby said Tuesday that Russia has refused to share nuclear data with the U.S., prompting Washington to withhold

WASHINGTON — A federal judge has ordered former Vice President Mike Pence to comply with a subpoena in the investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, according to a source familiar with the decision. The ruling from Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, requires Pence to testify before the grand jury tied to the probe led by special counsel Jack Smith. The ruling was issued Monday but remains under seal because it involves grand jury matters. The judge's order gave Pence a partial victory regarding his argument that he was shielded from having to testify

A study commissioned by the Club of Rome and published on Monday found that the world population is approaching its peak and will begin declining swiftly after the middle of the 21st Century, averting the “population bomb” scenario in which longer lifespans, more abundant food, and better medical treatments cause the human race to overwhelm the capacity of the Earth to sustain it. The “population bomb” thesis derives its name from the sensationalistic, and later thoroughly discredited, 1968 book by Stanford University entomologist Paul Ehrlich. Ehrlich’s fanciful book touched off a worldwide overpopulation panic, presenting grim scenarios of imminent mass starvation and resource shortages that did not come to pass.

Way back in the mid-1980s, communist Yugoslavia exported the Yugo, a compact car that sold for around $4,000. It was so poorly made that bumping into a pole at 5 mph could total it. Fast forward to today, and a new class of cars has a similar problem. A minor accident can cause a total loss, even if the car’s been driven only a few miles. The only difference is that these cars aren’t cheap imports from some godforsaken socialist state. These are state-of-art electric vehicles that come with an average sticker price of $55,000. Why are insurance companies totaling low-mileage EVs that have been in a fender bender?

There is no laughter, though, when trying to decipher the biological sex of the school shooter who killed three children and three adults in Nashville (snip) She was, quite simply, a completely evil woman, although I’m certain that her sense of victimhood due to her untreated mental illness exacerbated the sense of ill-usage that drove her to slaughter children.
