At least one state has the courage to enact legislation to halt the overrunning of female sports by males who claim to be female. On Tuesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation that prohibits biological males from competing in female sports.
I have been writing for a long time about the usurping of Americans’ constitutional rights under the guise of a pandemic. The lockdowns, and other restrictive measures (no in-person religious services, no face-to-face schooling, wearing masks, etc.) is leading America to becoming a totalitarian state. The populace is being trained to submit to any and all dictates coming from our elected politicians. This is always couched inside the rhetoric of this being for one’s own good.
Naomi Wolf is an American liberal, feminist author, journalist and former political advisor to Al Gore and Bill Clinton. Wolf was an advisor to Bill Clinton’s successful run for a second term in 1996 for the Presidency. Wolf has written a number of books including the bestseller The End of America released in 2007.
This week Wolf appeared, believe it or not, on Tucker Carlson’s show. As Tucker noted, he’s sure she probably lost friends just for doing that. Such is the nature of the Cancel Culture in this country.
Why did she take this step which must have been fraught with trepidation for her? Even though she is someone who might be characterized as being on the Left, Wolf sees what is going on in the country as the precursor to a full-on police state. In her mind this transcends everything liberals and conservatives might disagree on. The people must unite to fight back against this appropriation of our liberties.
This young lady talks about how she came to realize just what the Democratic Party has become. She includes this in the depth of her reasons for walking away from them. This was an intellectual journey that helped her leap the chasm between the Left’s narrative and reality.
I have included her own notes that she posted after the video went viral. I certainly understand the process that she went through to arrive at where she is today. The video is lengthy (47 minutes).
Former NFL player Burgess Owens spoke at the Republican National Convention. It is a pity that the NFL today doesn’t have more men such as Burgess Owens. His comeback story after he left the NFL is one for all to hear.
Jack Brewer, a former NFL player and a lifelong Democrat, talked about his support for PDJT. Brewer talked about growing up and witnessing racism. As he noted, that is not President Trump. Brewer said that the insults of people who dislike the fact that he’s black and supports Trump only serve to stiffen his support for the President.
An acquaintance in another state sent me some pictures of more COVID-19 insanity. The media has been hugely successful at propagating a fake narrative about what would happen if you get exposed to the virus. This has terrified many people. This has led to this kind of idiocy among those administer to a school population that has a near zero chance of suffering a serious outcome from the virus.
The following is a release by House representative Ralph Norman (R-SC). It addresses an alarming tendency by Facebook to censor viewpoints they do not agree with.
Last week, 24-year-old Jessica Doty Whitaker was shot to death following an argument with Black Lives Matter supporters. According to her family, the BLM supporters shouted “Black lives matter” at her and her group, to which they replied, “All lives matter.”
According to her fiancee, he and the victim and two other people were hanging out along a canal near Indianapolis when someone in their group used a slang version of the N-word. That word prompted a confrontation by a group of strangers.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that our system of “higher” education is closed off to students with conservative viewpoints. Such students are pilloried for their views. They are doxxed and smeared in an attempt to get them removed from the college or university where they are attending. Many of these smear campaigns are outright lies used to enrage the mob so that school administrators will cave to their demands.
The Jesuits were once renowned for their intellectual rigor. Any person who graduated from a Jesuit-run institution was presumptively well educated, morally centered, and capable of reasoning. Marquette University is one such Jesuit institution. Marquette has consistently been highly ranked among American universities.
News is now surfacing that some NCAA conferences are punting on a full football season. Why this is happening is a topic for another post. While many of us have recognized for some time that higher education in this country has been compromised on the altar of political correctness, the recent lack of intestinal fortitude by Penn State is stunning.
