Scientists Shocked to Discover That Male
and Female Athletes are Different!

Original Article

Posted By: DVC, 1/3/2024 12:56:57 PM

It was once a commonsense belief and universal truth that men and women, boys and girls, are different, especially in the realm of athletics. With rare exceptions, men and women compete in their own categories, from high school level through college to the Olympic games and professional sports. Mixed competitions place women and men on the same team, such as mixed doubles in tennis, or dancing, either in the ballroom, or on ice. Equestrian sports are an exception, but the fact that a horse is a major part of the sport reduces the sex difference between competitors.

I can compete with women in golf but 100% of the current LPGA players would mop the floor with me. It's unfair.

Proof that biology is racist and must be cancelled, by getting rid of cis whites. (what, the article says nothing about race or gender? no matter -- the foundations of virtually all of leftist dogma is self-contradiction and non sequiturs, anyway.

This is shocking about the scientists. Even my grandson, when he was 6 years old, used to say "boys have penises and girls have vaginas".

Of course they're different. Just compare standing behind a man and standing behind a woman in the supermarket checkout line.

Would this be the same scientists who have been selling the "boys can be girls" scam for several years now? And they wonder why nobody trusts academia.

A DNA test should determine athletic eligibility. If one has XX chromosomes, one can compete against other women. If one has XY chromosomes and tries to compete in sports of strength and speed against real women, he should be humiliated, then beaten, have his pants pulled down, and forbidden ever to try that again against women. Or else, a harder beating next time, hard enough to end the confusion over sex. World records in field events: High Jump 6-10 1/4 (women) 8-0 1/2 (men); Long Jump 24-8 1/4 (w) 29-4 1/2 (m); Triple Jump 51-7 3/4 (w) 60-0 1/4; Pole Vault 16-7 1/4 (w) 20-5 1/4 (m) The weight throws are not terribly different in the distances, but understand that the men's shot (16 lb vs 8.82 lb), discus (3.53 lb vs 2.2 lb), hammer 16 lb vs 8.82 lb), and javelin (800 g vs 600g) are all much heavier than the women's. In high school, the boys' shot weighed 12 pounds.

Next, we will read that these same 'scientists' are "shocked" when they discover that water runs downhill. Where are the NOW (National Organization of Women) who Rush used to call the NAGS (National Association of Gals)? I have yet to read ANY statement from them in the media. If the men-competing-as-women continues, it seems to me that it will be increasingly absurd to have one category for 'men' and one category for 'men pretending to be women', and the sports organizations will eventually just have the sport, each event open to everyone. All swimmers compete together, all runners compete together, all soccer players compete together, etc. The females will be shut out for most events. Another example of Leftists destroying everything they touch.

I have yet to read any article which includes an obvious advantage men have when competing against women. Males have a natural higher hemoglobin which give them more stamina in any athletic endeavor. Remember when the sports articles reported men donating units of blood before an important race and then on the day of the event, being infused with the packed red cells that they had donated the previous week? I think Lance Armstrong was found guilty of this trick, thus raising his hemoglobin level on the day of the event, hence more stamina.

Have you ever driven a Tesla? I have. It’s a lovely car to drive because it accelerates quickly, handles well, and is stocked to the brim with cool gadgets. In a sane world, rich people would buy it and other electric vehicles (EVs) for fun and, as competition drove the price down, ordinary people would think about them, too. But we don’t live in a sane world. We live in an insane world in which our governments are forcing us to buy EVs to “save the climate.” That’s why it’s important to focus on just how awful EVs are

Chip Export Controls

Last summer, my Legal Insurrection colleague Vijeta Uniyal reported that despite U.S. sanctions, China was building up its chipmaking capabilities at breakneck speed by importing manufacturing equipment at a record pace. However, later in the year, the U.S. indicated it was planning to update new chip restrictions on exports to China related to the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. This came as China implemented its own restrictions on minerals needed to produce semiconductors and other advanced technology. Now comes news that the Netherlands has blocked the export of equipment to China, which it needs as part of its chipmaking process.

“Affirmative Action lowers the standards wherever it touches.” -Martin L Gross The above observation by the late sociologist Martin Gross is especially relevant today after the president of one of the most esteemed universities in the world resigned in disgrace after her serial plagiarism was exposed. The genesis of the policy that led to her hiring can be found in a 1968 memo that then-Xerox CEO Joseph C. Wilson wrote in which he directed his hiring managers to hire underqualified and outright unqualified minorities in the name of “diversity.” Using Claudine Gay’s example as a case study, we can now clearly see the dismal fruit of this well-intentioned but sadly naive policy.

[snip] Now comes more good news for those who are concerned about inefficient and costly wind farm projects being thrust on Americans by green energy barons. The Osage Nation took a European wind farm company to court and prevailed…and now the operating windmills have got to be dismantled and removed per court order. A federal judge has ordered Enell Energy to remove an 84-turbine wind farm in Osage County, with a final ruling that ends more than a decade of litigation over illegal mining on the Osage Reservation. Court documents estimate the cost of removing the turbines at $300 million.
The Electric Car Con Explained 13 replies

Is electricity a source of energy? Most people will answer yes, which is incorrect. Electricity carries energy but it is not itself a source of energy, which in the U.S. is supplied 60% by natural gas and coal, 18% nuclear and 22% renewables (hydro, solar and wind). The related question is whether cars are a major consumer of energy and hence a significant contributor of Co2 emissions? Again, most people believe both statements are self-evidently true, hence the importance of moving to electric cars. In fact, cars (light-duty transportation) account for less than 5% of global energy demand, with U.S. cars accounting for 19% of the global car fleet,
Useless Degrees, An Analysis 8 replies
Posted by DVC 1/9/2024 12:56:55 PM Post Reply
For a long time now, the debate has raged as to whether it’s worth going to college anymore. The libertarian view on this question has typically been along the lines of… if people are foolish enough to waste money on worthless degrees, the world will soon enough teach them another lesson. While valid, that view ran aground on the Democrat vote-buying scheme to insulate those with useless degrees from the consequences of their poor choices and indebtedness, with our tax money. The cynical motives behind this ploy aside, I very much doubt many students enroll in college with the intention of eventually being bailed out by their fellow citizens.
Separating fact from fiction on ‘climate change’ 10 replies

Why is it easier to find lies in the media about “climate change” than truthful information? Why is honest reporting on the environment an outlier instead of a rule? Media parrots have said for decades that humans, and our use of natural resources are killing the planet, and that oceans, species, and forests are dying. They report on future predictions, but rarely on scientific facts—so I thought I would fill the vacuum. We have been told that we are responsible for irredeemable destruction in the Great Barrier Reef, but that is not true. The reef is making a “comeback,” yet we don’t see that story

Should our government decide “our democracy” is in imminent danger and it’s necessary to suppress dangerous insurrectionists like Catholics and soccer moms, would America’s federal, state and local police play along? It has long been common knowledge Federal agencies have been stockpiling enormous quantities of mil-spec arms, ammunition and other gear. Agencies like the Railroad Retirement Board, Department of Education and Fish and Wildlife Service have automatic weapon-armed SWAT teams. Apparently, railroad retirees, federal education grant applicants and Trout are a greater threat to “our democracy” than anyone imagined. Let’s evaluate the real potential threat:

Presidential candidate Nikki Haley, like most of us, doesn’t like chaos. She’d prefer that America be an orderly, law-abiding, harmonious nation. Unfortunately, that is no longer the America in which we live. But in her condemnation of “chaos,” Haley confuses correlation with causation, and is using our current turmoil to attack Donald Trump. At a campaign stop in Bluffton, South Carolina, she said: I agree with a lot of his policies, but the truth is, rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him (Trump). We have too much division in this country, and too many threats around the world to be sitting in chaos once again.

Claudine Gay, erstwhile Harvard University president reliably accused of serial plagiarism, resigned yesterday. It is not a victory. She should have been fired. In a collectivist world, no one owns anything. Neither name, face, voice, nor written words. Neither right, title nor interest in anything tangible or intangible attaches to anyone. No clothes, no food, no shelter, no means of transport, no currency, no birthright, no property. No progeny. No legacy. Everyman, and woman, is named Emanon, or Emanona.

While Republican primary voters think Donald Trump is their best shot in November, it's Nikki Haley who right now holds a bigger lead over Joe Biden than either Trump or Ron DeSantis in potential head-to-head match-ups. In fact, as the GOP presidential nomination kicks off, Trump, Haley and DeSantis all have at least a slight national edge on President Biden right now, were they to emerge as his challenger. (Haley and DeSantis have tougher roads to get that chance, of course, since they trail Trump substantially in the race for the nomination.) What's behind Haley's lead? Here's why Haley has such a lead over Biden:

United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry, is expected to leave the Biden administration in order to join the president's 2024 reelection campaign, according to an announcement Saturday. Kerry believes that Biden's reelection is the "single biggest" difference that can be made in terms of progress when it comes to climate change, a source told Axios. He will be working with White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients to make the transition in the coming months, according to reports. As of now it is unclear who Kerry's successor will be. Kerry played a major role helping to broker the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and the UAE Consensus. He praised

White House staff had to be 'relocated' after thousands of pro Palestine supporters descended on the building, threatening to breach the security fence and lobbing over bloodied dolls as part of a huge demonstration demanding a ceasefire on Gaza. Law enforcement defending the People's House donned riot gear as a baying mob pelted them with dolls and other projectiles. Video taken at the event on Saturday shows how the metal perimeter was shaken so hard that portions of it were shunted back, forcing secret service operatives to rush to one part to prevent a breach.

Republican presidential primary candidate Nikki Haley once seemingly parroted a talking point used by Democrats that suggests climate change is partially to blame for mass immigration to the United States and other countries. In January 2017, Haley went before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to be confirmed as ambassador to the United Nations (UN) in then-President Donald Trump’s administration. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), in a written question, asked Haley about so-called “climate refugees,” as Democrats claim that mass immigration to the U.S. and other countries is partially due to global warming’s destroying crops, conditions, and communities in certain regions of the world. Merkley wrote:

You know what would make Americans feel a whole lot better about President Biden’s penchant for forgetting where he is or what he is saying? Fewer ties. Without those constrictive nuisances — and with a few more “subtle shifts” — voters will surely see that the octogenarian isn’t too old to run a nation when the world is on fire. As a “buttoned-up president who often appears behind a lectern in a suit and tie,” Biden is now “heeding pleas from top advisers to return to his original form, according to multiple people familiar with the conversations,” NBC News reported on Friday.
