And no trophies past third place.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

Also believe he sandbagged here to avoid even greater scrutiny/criticism. Dude is a POS.
Why does this issue have to be black/white; either/or?
I have friends and family with transgender kids, think they should have every right to a happy life that anyone else does, and should not be discriminated against, hope we all agree with that. They are not crazy, most are very unhappy people trying to become happy, we should support that ideal.
But . . . the one exception is competition in athletics, it is also not hard for me to admit I would be severely chafed if my two daughters were competing for a big trophy, e.g., state or NCAA championship, for which they had worked all their life, only to see them lose out to a transgender male who was becoming a female. I think most of us would feel the same way. And I really don't think that makes me a bigot.
FWIW, there are really very very few transgender athletes competing and winning titles, this is a fairly uncommon situation. But where did nuance go in America? Seems in very short supply these days.

Get that well thought out logic out of this thread. Folks are trying to be outraged!
Let's face it, all of this stuff ain't even about sports, 'cause swimming ain't a sport. It's exercise. I don't care if you got a dong, had a dong, or are fixin to get one.
Just so the rest of you all can sleep at night. I too work in healthcare.....for the last 20+ yrs and talk to experts on a daily basis. Viewpoints like MurderCrows are in a very, very, very small minority.
It's refreshing to know that the liberal idiots are supporting a SCOTUS nominee who doesn't know what a woman is.
Just a little Biden update:
Oil is now trading $113.50/bbl.
The bond market (as measured by the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, you know... the "safe" stuff lol)... is now down 6.34% YTD.
Even if you were concerned enough about the incompetency of this moron... and move ALL of your money out of stocks and into bonds... your $1mm 401k is now only $936,600... in only 4 months.
Biden's America... sucks badly.
He needs to be GONE.

I understand what you are saying and it isn't that I don't want them to be happy but come on man we can't be everything to everyone. This whole mindset is nothing more than muddying the water what politicians are famous for. If you muddy the waters enough there is no wrong vs right. You see that more and more everyday in America. What made this country great from the beginning is that we were God fearing people who knew right from wrong and had morals. Now due to pressure from all the politicians, media etc. (You know all of those overly educated smart people who think we are just stupid peasants) everything is muddy. Think I am kidding? Look no further than the hearings going on right now to confirm Biden's Supreme Court pick who has purposely went out of her way to be lenient on child pornography felons. The state of California is passing laws to make it less punitive if you are caught with someone under age. These things are coming the more they are allowed to have the media promote it, teach it in schools and it is in every movie. It is crazy how stupid some people truly are. Like when they were saying years ago that they wanted to pass Medical Marijuana in some states lol. How did that turn out? It just opened the door for anyone to get Marijuana. And I don't really care if you smoke weed or not. That isn't my point as I feel weed is less harmful or dangerous as alcohol. It is the way they package these stupid ideas and people fall for them. Yes there is something mentally not right with someone who is born a male but wants to be a female. When you get down to it is no different from a man who wants to have sex with children or animals. It is all mental issues. Should we just turn our heads and go with it just in the name of (I hope they are happy)? Absolutely not. This will get out of control pretty soon and has already started if we try to be everything to everyone and keep preaching to not speak your mind or stand up for your morals. Rant over. Bash away will make no difference in my opinion.

Republican Senator Says Supreme Court Should Have Never Legalized Interracial Marriage
Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) said interracial marriage should be illegal federally and left to the states, before walking back his comments.

I liked this commentary:
"Other Twitter critics pounced on Jackson invoking biology in her response. Informed Dissent podcaster Leonydus Johnson pointed out, "In her asinine deflection, she accidentally acknowledged that being a woman is defined by biology.""
Mike Braun, senator from Indiana, said states ought to be able to criminalize interracial marriage.
LOL, Rolling Stone. Enough said. They totally put their own backasswards spin on what he said.Republican Senator Says Supreme Court Should Have Never Legalized Interracial Marriage

Yeah, that was stupid of him. If that were the case I could be criminalized for marrying a white woman.
Madelaine Albright dead ... 84.
Giant block letter on FoxNews.com .... CHAMPION OF DEMOCRACY.
Don't know if I'd go that far.

Don’t forget he puts together continuing education 😂
This woman has defended a number of evils...now defends violent vegans. It is scary to think such a person could reach the highest court in the land and she defends veganism. That is anti-American!
Now the Repubs need to get to work, and maybe file a lawsuit or two here in Ohio. The Ohio Supreme Court has nixed 2 or 3 redistricting plans.
I'm old enough to remember when redistricting was the accepted norm. Of course that was when Dems controlled most legislatures in addition to the House.

@Platinumdrgn : Another illegal gerrymandering attempt by your Democrat criminal friends is blown all to hell.
You know the drill. Yes, you are once again dismissed.
Very good news. But the OH & NC state court rulings counteract this.
How are those MD roads with no gas tax?
Thing is, OH Constitution prohibits their SC from setting the districts. So this could go on forever.
As a matter of science, there are only two sexes.
The social/psychological construct of gender is something totally different and that's where the debate really is.
Not sure what subject matter you're teaching, but hopefully you provide actual substance instead of appeals to authority and ad hominem attacks
I actually skimmed this article. The author is insane and the leaps she goes to is unreal.
"Physical fitness has always been central to the far right. In 'Mein Kampf,' Hitler fixated on boxing and jujitsu, believing they could help him create an army of millions of aggressive spirit and impeccably-trained bodies."
"It appears the far right has taken advantage of pandemic at-home fitness trends to expand its decade-plus radicalization of physical mixed martial arts and combat sports spaces." HAHA
The author cites an article titled "fascist fitness" by The Guardian about supposed British online chat groups are "radicalizing young men with neo-Nazi and white supremacist extremist ideologies" after initially being lured in with health tips but then are later invited to closed chat groups where far-right content is shared."
HAHA. GOLD. The author also tries to tie masculinity into white supremacy. Absolute psychos. Considering they label everything "white supremacy", no one should give a crap what they say but it was entertaining to read at what lengths the author tries to connect you to Hitler.
They sent the state legislature maps back to the state courts for more litigation. They tossed the GoP pleas for intervention for the federal congressional maps. So the House district map will stand but the state legislature map may get reworked or the state supreme court will just rule in its favor a 2nd time. They essentially punted on both rulings.
