Made Historic Gains With Minority Voters
in 2024 (Video) replies
Conservative professor and historian Victor Davis Hanson recently appeared on the Piers Morgan show to discuss the 2024 election and how Trump won.
Hanson points specifically to the massive gains that Trump made with minority voters and suggests that had Trump not done that, he would not have won. He says that Trump won these voters by reminding them that they are Americans first and have more in common with each other than Democrats and the media would have people believe.
Hanson is directly implying that this election was a flat-out rejection of the left’s obsession with identity politics.
As Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston says he would be willing to go to jail over his opposition to the Trump mass-deportation plan, a new study claims the mayor’s Blue city has spent a whopping $356 million of taxpayers' hard-earned money on migrants.
The eye-popping sum, which amounts to $7,900 per foreign national in the city, was revealed by an updated analysis last week by the Common Sense Institut (CSI), a non-partisan research organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the U.S. economy.
Vice President Harris is still pumping Democratic donors for cash weeks after her blowout election loss — but its leaving supporters spent, critics said.
“With Trump nominating MAGA loyalists left and right, there is nothing more important than making sure we can fight back and hold him accountable,” read an email from Kamala HQ which The Post received nearly three weeks after election day. “That’s why we need you to step up today. Yes, today.”
“Our records show that you haven’t pitched in to support our Harris Fight Fund program yet,” the missive scolded. “We know the election didn’t turn out as we’d hoped, but we’re not backing down.”
Hamas has posted a harrowing video showing a weeping American-Israeli hostage held captive for 420 days.
In the footage, 20-year-old Edan Alexander identified himself and addressed his family, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President-elect Donald Trump.
A pale-looking Alexander can be heard pleading for Trump to secure his release. He said: 'Soon... time is running out.' He added: 'The fear is at its peak, and we are dying a thousand times every day that passes, and no one feels for us.
'The people of Israel: Do not neglect us. We want to return home with a full mind. Fear and isolation are killing us. Please do not forget us.'
On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” Washington Post Associate Editor and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart stated that “among many things that I found troubling about the 2024 election” was the fact that voters decided “Gas is too high, grocery store prices are too high. And so, yeah, we’re just going to go with” President-Elect Donald Trump, “leave aside all sorts of other things he said, such as mass deportations.” And charges against him where they hadn’t seen all the evidence.
Co-host William Brangham said, “[T]he voters looked at all of that, again, as much as you could, the charges, they don’t see all of the evidence, but they looked at it,
Trump Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth’s mother apologized to her son immediately after sending him an emotional email in 2018 accusing him of mistreating his ex-wife in the midst of their difficult divorce, according to an email viewed Saturday by Breitbart News.
In the follow-up email, sent on May 1, 2018, Penelope Hegseth apologized for sending an email the evening before out of emotion and frustration, saying she should know better.
She added that the divorce had been difficult and frustrating for her and that she had felt desperate.
Liberal women are sterilizing themselves in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s win earlier this month, according to a new report from Newsweek.
The outlet spoke to five women who are so concerned about losing access to abortions that they are having their fallopian tubes removed over the election results.
“If I am to be denied any rights in the next four (or more) years, I will not give them up without a fight,” 28-year-old Texas resident Lydia Echols told Newsweek.
A 39-year-old from Washington, who asked to remain anonymous, told the outlet that she has already undergone a bilateral salpingectomy, removing her fallopian tubes, over Trump.
The media has been attacking Pete Hegseth, President Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, with leaks about a years-old sexual assault allegation that was already investigated by police and proven to be false.
However, The New York Times reached a new low when it published an out-of-context private email between Pete Hegseth and his mother, Penelope Hegseth.
The New York Times obtained the private email between Hegseth and his mother from a person with ties to the Hegseth family.
Hegseth’s mother, in a 2018 email to her son, expressed her disappointment in him for his treatment of women during his divorce from his second wife.
Penelope Hegseth sent her son a follow-up email
According to a new report, President-elect Donald Trump’s supporters are poised to outspend Kamala Harris voters this holiday season.
Since the election, shopping volumes have been surging in red states and scaling back in blue states — a sign that his supporters are feeling pretty good about the economy’s future.
CNBC reports:
CNBC analyzed shipping trends in red and blue states and spoke with shoppers in Texas, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, North Carolina and Virginia to better understand how the 2024 presidential election results could influence the holiday shopping season.
People who voted for President-elect Donald Trump were overwhelmingly positive about the future of the economy,

In an interview on CNBC on Friday, Gottlieb said he has been meeting with senators and that there is "skepticism in the Republican caucus [on RFK Jr.’s nomination], more than the press is reporting right now.” [Video]

When it comes to antisemitism, it's usual to think of parts of the Middle East, Russia during the pogroms, or 1940s Germany. The word "antisemite" doesn't often conjure images of toques, poutine, and people registering their discontent with cries of "Tabernac!"
But that's what you should be thinking of because it seems now that the biggest hotbed of antisemitism in North America is... Montreal.
There is an old saying that when the United States sneezes, Canada catches a cold. Recent events in Canada, however, suggest that the US should immunize itself from a dangerously virulent virus that has swept across the nation — nowhere more so than in Montreal:
Now that Donald Trump is headed to the White House, he has to make a decision vital to the Republic's health. Over the last eight years, President Trump and his allies have been the subject of a non-stop stream of lawfare attacks designed to cripple him while he was president and later, after he peacefully turned over the reigns of power to the addled Joe Biden, to imprison him for what could have been the rest of his life. The campaign to jail him was clearly a conspiracy involving Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg,

Actor George Clooney was a key participant in the coup to push Joe Biden out of the 2024 election.
Radar Online reports that Clooney is now said to have expressed outrage at “being manipulated by former President Barack Obama into lobbying for Kamala Harris.”
Following Biden’s disastrous June debate performance, Clooney kicked off the calls to put old Joe out to pasture with a column for the New York Times demanding that he step aside.

President Trump has officially nominated Kash Patel for the role of FBI Director.
This comes after rumors that deep-state hack Mike Rogers were quashed by longtime Trump adviser Dan Scavino.
Rogers, as The Gateway Pundit reported, conceded his highly questionable Senate race in Michigan despite Trump winning, and he was very vocal in trashing President Trump in 2020 for challenging the rigged election. He would be a horrible pick for FBI director, especially concerning election integrity.
Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post commending his career of “exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People.”
Apple released a pro-family ad reflecting on the joys of fatherhood to kick off the Christmas season after Jaguar’s recent ad was accused of peddling wokeness: The ad is shot mainly through the eyes of a loving father who struggles with hearing loss. It traces back over memories of his young daughter throughout her childhood, but they are muffled in sound because of his handicap.
In present day while the family is exchanging gifts around the Christmas tree, his daughter, whom he watched grow up, receives a guitar and begins to sing and play “Our House” by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova hit out at a publication this week over its reporting on the debate surrounding transgender athletes in women sport. The New York Times published an article on the current controversy sweeping through women's college volleyball after multiple teams forfeited games against San Jose State University and transgender player Blaire Fleming. In the article, the outlet used the term 'non-transgender women' to refer to biological females when discussing the varying levels of testosterone. 'NYT- you stink. We are women, not Not Transgender Women. Just women will do in the future,' the 18-time Grand Slam winner posted on
Most opinion-based shows don’t stop to share legal notes.
Tell that to “The View.” Reading legal notices has become the norm on the far-Left showcase.
“The View” featured four such notes on November 22 alone, all related to President-Elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks. The show shared similar notes earlier in the week to avoid potential lawsuits. (X Video) That’s just one week in the life of Trump 2.0. And it only scratches the surface of the show’s Trump Derangement Syndrome.

A gigantic inferno erupted inside a $4 million Connecticut mansion after residents attempted to fry a turkey in the garage on Thanksgiving.
Firefighters faced several challenges on the holiday afternoon after the stunning mansion at 40 Weston Road in Weston went up in flames.
The aggressive blaze quickly spread throughout the home, and soon, its structural collapse created dangerous conditions for responding firefighters. Residents were attempting to fry a turkey for the big meal Thursday afternoon when the garage went up in flames and began 'rapidly extending into the residence,' according to Weston Volunteer Fire Department.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was spotted having dinner with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago last night.
It’s noteworthy that Trudeau’s public itinerary did not list a scheduled visit to Florida, as The Gateway Pundit previously reported.
The unexpected visit sparked controversy, especially after Trump announced his intention to apply a 25% tariff on all goods imported from Canada and Mexico—a daring step to address the ongoing illegal immigration crisis.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Trudeau and his liberals are panicking to react to news about tariffs to be imposed on Canada.

“Our leader forever” was a slogan one often saw in Syria during the era of President Hafez al-Assad, father of today’s Syrian president.
The prospect that the dour, stern Syrian leader would live forever was a source of dark humor for many of my Syrian friends when I lived and worked in Aleppo in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Hafez al-Assad died in June 2000. He wasn’t immortal after all.
His regime, however, lives on under the leadership of his son Bashar al-Assad.
There were moments when the Bashar regime’s survival looked in doubt. When the so-called Arab Spring rolled
It got ugly after Michigan’s win over Ohio State.
Moments after the Wolverines’ 13-10 win, the two teams got into a brawl near midfield after Michigan players tried to plant their flag on Ohio State’s logo on Saturday.
Multiple players could be seen going at it as security, police and team staff tried to separate them. (Video, Photo) And Ohio State linebacker Jack Sawyer, who had an interception in the game, ripped the Michigan flag away from the Wolverine players before tensions finally calmed down.
“Unnecessary gesture by the Wolverines,” Fox play-by-play man Gus Johnson said. “They won the game, no need to be disrespectful.”

BEIRUT — Thousands of Syrian insurgents took over most of Aleppo on Saturday, establishing positions in the country’s largest city and controlling its airport before expanding their shock offensive to a nearby province. They faced little to no resistance from government troops, according to fighters and activists.
A war monitor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the insurgents led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham seized control of Aleppo International airport, the first international airport to be controlled by insurgents. The fighters claimed they seized the airport and postefd pictures from there. Thousands of fighters also moved on, facing almost no defense from government forces,
The second-biggest loser of the 2024 election is Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who is being demoted from the powerful Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate to the largely powerless Minority Leader.
Schumer’s demotion to the minority status — which is shared by the other 46 Democrats — was smoothed by his support for President Joe Biden’s maximum-migration policy. That Schumer-backed policy imported roughly nine million southern migrants — ensuring the defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris and the loss of three Democrat-held Senate seats. That three-seat loss created a new 53-seat Republican majority in the Senate, thus forcing Schumer to hand over the gavel and return to minority status.
British prime minister Keir Starmer accused his predecessors of intentionally designing a “one-nation experiment in open borders” after the latest statistics revealed that more than 900,000 migrants entered the U.K. last year. The Labour Party leader laid the blame on the Conservative Party for the record-high numbers, claiming the opposition failed Brexit voters on its vow to curtail illegal immigration. Brexit, which authorized the U.K.’s exit from the European Union, narrowly passed in June 2016 and formally took effect in January 2020.
“Time and again the Conservative Party promised they would get the numbers down. Time and again they failed, and now the chorus of excuses has begun,”

Class warfare is nothing new when it comes to the left. It’s a massive part of how liberals sow division among people who would otherwise get along. We see it in how Democrats always portray Republicans as only looking out for the interests of the rich, as though wealthy people are always the enemy. In the UK, the Labour Party has had power since July. Labour is a far-left party that has its roots in protecting the interests of labor unions and socialists. But today’s Labour Party is playing a different sort of class warfare game.

Retiring President Biden hit the shops on Black Friday and surprised onlookers by picking up a copy of a book describing the establishment of Israel as “colonialism” that’s been met with Palestinian “resistance” — an acquisition its author bemoaned was “4 years too late.”
Biden, 82, left Nantucket Bookworks holding in full view of the press a copy of “The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonial Conquest and Resistance, 1917-2017” by Columbia University professor emeritus Rashid Khalidi.
The book argues that “the modern history of Palestine can best be understood in these terms: as a colonial war waged against the indigenous population, by a variety of parties,
I wore body armor during my police career. In those days of yore, it was heavier and more expensive than armor is now, but armor threat protection levels really haven’t changed. The armor police officers wear on duty protects against handgun and shotgun cartridges, but absent ceramic or metal insert plates, not against rifle fire. That kind of tactical armor is thicker, heavier and much more expensive. However, in recent years, armor has become more affordable and ubiquitous. It’s available in several levels from level II, which will stop 9mm and .357 magnum rounds, to Level V, which will stop up to 30.06—true high-powered rifle—rounds.

In a move that could have seismic implications for NATO’s strategic capabilities, two critical undersea communication cables in the Baltic Sea—lifelines of military coordination among NATO allies—were severed in what increasingly appears to be a calculated act of hybrid warfare. The timing of these incidents, coming mere hours after the Biden administration authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied ATACMS long-range missiles against Russian targets, raises the unmistakable specter of a coordinated response by Russia, with China’s complicity, aimed at halting NATO’s ability to act decisively during a crucial moment in this escalating conflict.
The severing of these cables appears to be more than a mere act of sabotage.

A top Democratic leader is pointing fingers at “MAGA” Republicans, accusing them of threatening Congressional Democrats on Thanksgiving— just one day after members of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks received bomb threats on their front doors. Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) implicated that Trump supporters were hurling violent threats to Democrats with messages that included bomb threats and swatting— the practice of making prank phone calls to emergency services to bring about the dispatch of a large number of armed police officers to a particular address.
More than three weeks after election day, commentators still try to explain the results. The more “establishment” the commentator, the more likely they are to discuss less relevant details and miss the main point. The Democrats lost the 2024 election because of bad policies that failed very publicly. Those failures lingered through Biden’s entire term. Their nominee could not recover from those failures.
The Democrats began their term with a trillion dollar + spending bill. That spending caused inflation by sending too many dollars after the same goods and services in the U.S. economy. Prices of all consumer goods exploded to previously unknown heights.
WASHINGTON — Democrats spent Thanksgiving eating crow — privately confessing that President Biden’s handling of the border crisis fueled voter outrage and the Republican sweep of the White House and both chambers of Congress.
Lawmakers, aides and sources close to powerful Dems finally admitted after President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory over Biden’s successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, that the party’s permissive lurch on the border helped doom them in 2024. (Photo) “We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,” a Democratic senator confided to The Hill under the condition of anonymity.

I don’t always agree with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services, but I can’t help but feel a bit of healthy schadenfreude at the prospect of America’s corrupt health care establishment getting the bitter taste of well-deserved disruptive medicine.
Kennedy isn’t exactly a conservative. He’s on the record supporting abortion, and he has a long track record of working not just in environmental conservation (which I support), but in advancing climate alarmism, which I consider not only wrong, but disruptive for freedom, prosperity, and environmental protection.
The Iranian regime's sudden willingness to negotiate following Trump's reelection is nothing more than a tactical maneuver. It seeks to buy time, stave off tough sanctions, and delay decisive action while advancing its nuclear program, while waiting out Trump.
This is a familiar strategy, designed to outlast the Trump administration and neutralize any efforts to hold the regime accountable. Such deceptive overtures must be recognized for what they are — a fake truce to secure the Islamic Republic's survival and expansion.
The West must stop deluding itself into believing that any deal with such a country can succeed.
Joe Biden's staffers have reportedly been 'triggered' by his inability to hold the tradition of the outgoing president taking 'departure photos' with White House employees.

Now, however, he'll be handing the presidency back to Trump after Kamala Harris was soundly beaten by Biden's predecessor. The staff, however, has apparently reached a new low in terms of morale, launching into unhappy groupchats about not getting their goodbye pictures.

Vladimir Putin’s alleged secret love child is living in France and working as a DJ under a pseudonym — with her fake identity linked to a dead ally of the Russian president, according to a report.
Elizaveta Krivonogikh, 21, who is believed to Putin’s youngest daughter, is reportedly living and working in Paris under the names Luiza Rozova and Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova, according to an investigation by Ukrainian TV station TSN.
The stunning discovery was made using leaked airline manifests, which matched Krivonogikh’s date of birth and phone number with one of her aliases.
It was a not-so-merry message.
Former Republican Congressman David Jolly ripped Democrats on MSNBC Friday — specifically the network’s “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski — for giving President-elect Donald Trump “parity to traditional American values.”
Jolly took issue with Scarborough and Brezinski, who came under fire after meeting with Trump, 78, at his palatial Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida two weeks ago.
“Don’t just say we’re going to give equity to Donald Trump, which some people are doing in the Democratic Party, in media, among the electorate,” Jolly pontificated on “Deadline: White House,” according to a clip shared by Mediaite.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to serve as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), gave “thanks to God” for his family and the success of the “MAHA movement” on Thanksgiving.
In a holiday Instagram post showing his family, Kennedy wrote, “I give thanks to God for all the extraordinary gifts of a year guided unerringly by Providence: my wife Cheryl, my children including Amaryllis without whom my campaign would have faltered”:(Snip) Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, who married Bobby Kennedy III in 2018, served as her father-in-law’s campaign director while he was still running for president, and remains a “proud steward
President-elect Donald Trump played DJ in chief at his private club Mar-a-Lago on Thanksgiving —spies told Page Six — as his BFF Elon Musk grooved at his VIP table.
Also at the Thanksgiving dinner, sources said, was “Rocky” star Sylvester Stallone, 78, former Patriots coach Bill Belichick, 72, and his young girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, 24, as well as Trump’s family members including wife Melania and son Barron.
Said a source: “Melania looked very svelte and chic in a brown/orange fall colored dress with long sleeves with bursts of color in squares. Eric and Lara [Trump] were there, as was Elon Musk and his mother Maye, and Tiffany Trump and her husband.”
The damage done by President Joe Biden’s migration policy pushed a large share of undecided swing voters to support Donald Trump during the last week of the 2024 campaign, according to a report by BluePrint2024, a pro-Democrat polling firm.
The polling data helps to explain why Democrats are moving closer to blaming Biden and his pro-migration border chief — Alejandro Mayorkas — for their political disaster. “We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,” a Democratic senator told the Hill for a November 29 report.
Daniel Penny's family said they were left in awe at his strength as he spent Thanksgiving with them despite a jury in New York preparing to deliberate his manslaughter case.
The marine's mother Gina Flaim-Penny said the family were focusing on being grateful for what they have, telling the New York Post: 'We’re blessed and grateful for everything we do have. We have each other.'
Daniel reportedly gathered at his maternal grandmother's home to mark the occasion, alongside his mother and his younger sister Taylor Penny, 24, while other family members Facetimed into the meal.
All appeared to be well between Donald Trudeau and Justin Trudeau in an all-smiles photo of the president-elect and the Canadian Prime Minister at Mar-a-Lago Friday night.
The liberal PM Trudeau has often clashed with Trump but facing re-election in 2025, he appears intent on working with his counterpart, even as Trump threatens Canada and Mexico with high tariffs.
A person familiar with the details called it a 'positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours.' The official said topics included trade, border security, fentanyl, defense, Ukraine, NATO, China and pipelines, as well as the the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year.
The Washington Examiner quotes Della Volpe, polling director at Harvard’s Kennedy School Institute of Politics and a loyal Democrat, on what the Democrats need to do to try to regain power. Much of what Volpe says is sensible, but I want to focus on just one point: his identification of the Democratic Party with democracy.
You see it all the time. Loss of faith in the Democratic Party equals loss of faith in democracy, attacks on the Democratic Party equal attacks on democracy, and so on. Volpe writes:
Millions of Americans aren’t shifting right — they’re walking away.
Joe Rogan argued that the establishment media that once was friendly to President-elect Donald Trump has since been engaged in a years-long "psy-op" to convince Americans he is dangerous.
"The Joe Rogan Experience" is one of the world’s most popular podcasts, and Rogan is seen as having been one of the key players in the 2024 election, for interviewing Trump and then endorsing his bid for the presidency in the 11th hour. The podcaster has since mocked the media for losing their credibility with voters and alienating lifelong liberals like himself.
On Thursday's episode, with comedians Shane Gillis, Mark Normans, and Ari Shaffir, Rogan recalled how friendly people in entertainment and
Officially, Donald Trump will not be inaugurated until January 20, but his impact to-date and his actions are already demonstrating early governance and how he will proceed as President. He makes no apologies for his plans, and he’s essentially started his term.
How can anyone dispute his selection of Tom Homan as Border Czar? Homan has made it clear that he will begin to protect our national security by removing criminals and the cartels. And he’s warned anyone who wants to stop him and protect these illegal migrants will be committing a felony:
For the 2024 election cycle, Alex Bruesewitz had a significant role with the Trump-Vance campaign as a social media advisor. The social media presence, podcast interviews, and other outreach efforts certainly played a role in President-elect Donald Trump emerging victorious earlier this month. Even after the election, especially as Democrats are still in serious disarray, Bruesewitz doesn't look to be done. In a detailed post over X on Friday, Bruesewitz called out the Democrats' operation, specifically with "influencers" like David Hogg, who was part of those pushing for Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) being selected as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate.
There is no doubt that MSNBC's Joy Reid is insufferable. We see regular examples of it.
Even for Thanksgiving, she couldn't just put her animosity aside for a moment and talk about people coming together. As we reported, instead she preached at Trump voters, saying people had a right to fear them and might not want to celebrate with them because they voted for an autocracy. Then she sought to cast MAGA as whining over the issue -- even as she was whining about Trump supporters. It was bizarre as she claimed no one seeks to understand liberals,
A few days ago, the Gateway Pundit featured a story about Trump border czar Tom Homan saying that if Denver Mayor Mike Johnston decides to defy federal law on illegal immigration, he’ll go to jail.
This was the exact exchange between Homan and Sean Hannity:
Sean Hannity: Tom, you heard this mayor out there in Colorado. I want to get your reaction to it, and I want you to be clear about who has jurisdiction—the federal government or state and local governments. And if you’re a sanctuary state or city, are you breaking the law?
Tom Homan: You’re absolutely breaking the law.
The Hill on Friday floated Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as a potential contender for the 2028 Democrat Presidential nomination.
Amie Parnes, a senior congressional correspondent for The Hill, included Ocasio-Cortez as the last name on a list of seven Democrats who could be contenders for the nomination in 2024. One Democrat strategist, speaking anonymously, told the outlet that Ocasio-Cortez can “cut through the BS and tell it like it is,” adding she “doesn’t talk like Washington.” However, Ocasio-Coretz’s very progressive record could hinder her odds if she does run, according to some Democrats.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Florida on Friday to have dinner with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club after Trump threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products.
Trump threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if they don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders.
A person familiar with the details called it a “positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours.”
The growth of classical education schools is astonishing. The numbers keep rising; there is no sign that the movement is beginning to plateau. Schools open, networks are created, charters are authorized, and kids fill the seats. [Snip] The reason for the loss cannot be ignored; the departure is an indictment of leftist theories of learning. Classical schools treasure precisely what leftist principles reject: old books and Great Books, Western Civilization, memorization, religion, dead languages, high art. [Snip] Every shift of public school children to classical schools erodes the authority of progressive schooling.
A quiet revolt is stirring in women’s sports: Female athletes are saying “enough” and refusing to play unfair match-ups against biologically male opponents.
This season, woman volleyballers at the University of Wyoming, Utah State, the University of Nevada, Reno and Southern Utah have forfeited games against San Jose State instead of playing against a reportedly transgender athlete on the Spartans, Blaire Fleming.
The Boise State squad not only forfeited twice during the regular season, it made the painful decision to sit out the Mountain West Conference semifinals game against the Spartans.
With coaches being fired for spelling out the issues here, the team’s statement still made it obvious:
