Team USA Track Star Pens Blistering Essay About Biological Men Competing in Women’s Sports

/0 Comments/in , /by

Team USA World Masters track athlete Cynthia Monteleone issued a scathing rebuke against including biological men — specifically transgender women — in women’s sports. . .

In a lengthy essay for Fox News, Monteleone, who has competed in various world championships and is also a track coach, said that if biological males continue to compete on women’s sports teams, it will mean the end of women’s sports as we know it.

“I’m standing for the protection of women’s sports,” she wrote. “At the 2018 World Masters Athletics Championships in Málaga, Spain, I competed in the 200-meter race against a male-bodied athlete, whom I beat by only a few tenths of a second. The next year, the same athlete beat my teammate in the hurdles for a place on the podium at the 2019 World Championship indoor meet in Poland. My teammate had trained harder than anyone I know.”

Monteleone said that the trend continues: Her daughter, a high school-age track star in her own right, was defeated by a biological male identifying as a female in her first ever high school track race.

“I had watched proudly as my strong and determined girl did all the right things – made personal, difficult sacrifices to train her body to be as fast and fit as possible for her first race,” she wrote. “Yet all her hard work seemed to drift away along with the male-bodied athlete, who had just transferred from the boys’ volleyball team to the girl’s team the season before. The athlete breezed right by her to win first place, leaving her to finish second.” (Read more from “Team USA Track Star Pens Blistering Essay About Biological Men Competing in Women’s Sports” HERE)

Obama-Era Adviser Calls Out Biden for ‘Dishonest’ Excuses on Record Inflation

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Obama-era economic adviser rebuffed President Joe Biden on Thursday for blaming record inflation and growing economic woes on supply chain problems. . .

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last Thursday the consumer price index rose to an annual rate of 7.5% in January, the highest rate in 40 years.

NBC News anchor Lester Holt later confronted Biden over his assertion in July 2021 that inflation would be “temporary,” asking the president what his “definition of temporary is.”

Biden responded by calling Holt “a wise guy,” and then he proceeded to blame continued supply chain issues for growing inflation. Biden also claimed that advisers tell him that inflation “ought to be able to start to taper off as we go through this year.”

Steven Rattner — an economics expert who served as counselor to the Treasury Department early in the Obama administration — explained in an essay for the New York Times that Biden’s excuse is “dishonest.” (Read more from “Obama-Era Adviser Calls Out Biden for ‘Dishonest’ Excuses on Record Inflation” HERE)

Senate Republicans Had a Chance to Force Dems Into Defunding COVID Jab Mandates, and They Blew It

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Republicans declined to protect people’s right to decide what goes into their own kids’ bodies by caving to Democrats’ budget demands this week.

Despite efforts by some conservative legislators to defund Covid-19 jab mandates and shut down the radical, Democrat-controlled government, 19 Senate Republicans voted with leftists to pass a budget extension that was already approved by the House earlier this month.

Sen. Ted Cruz was one of the GOP members who tried to strategically cut off federal funding for schools and child care centers that are forcing the Covid shot on children through an amendment to the budget. Cruz said drastic action was necessary to combat an “absolute abuse of power.”

“Enough is enough. It’s time to stop the petty tyrants imposing Covid-19 vaccine mandates on families across the country,” Cruz said when he introduced the amendment. “No child should be denied an education because of his or her personal medical choice. Schools shouldn’t get federal taxpayer dollars to trample on our constitutional liberties. It’s time for all of us to take a stand. Are you with parents and kids, or power hungry politicians?”

The amendment garnered some support from his fellow GOP senators but not enough. Two Republicans, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Roy Blunt of Missouri, voted against the amendment while another four Republicans — Sens. Richard Burr, Lindsey Graham, Jim Inhofe, and Mitt Romney — did not vote on it at all, against Cruz’s urgings.

Pentagon Using Taxpayer Funds to Buy More COVID Tests Made in China

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the wake of the Biden administration’s decision to offer no-cost COVID tests to Americans, the Pentagon announced on Friday that the Department of Defense, working with the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded contract modifications to two companies to purchase 138 million over-the-counter COVID tests. But there’s a problem.

The contracts announced by the Pentagon are with Roche Diagnostics Corporation and Siemens Healthineers.

In at least the case of the Siemens test, the company’s site directs readers to an Amazon listing for their at-home antigen rapid tests which reveal an obvious conclusion: the country of origin is China. The other company, Roche Diagnostics, doesn’t have as readily available information on its test kits. But a release on an earlier contract mentions the tests are produced with Roche partner SD Biosensor, a South Korean manufacturer. Better than China, but still not great to know that the United States is dependent on other countries for supplies used in a public health emergency.

White House Spox Can’t Confirm if Biden Worked This Week

/0 Comments/in , /by

During a gaggle aboard Air Force One on Thursday, White House Principal Deputy Press Security Karine Jean-Pierre offered an awkward answer to a question about President Biden’s search for a Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Breyer.

A reporter asked whether Biden had interviewed any potential SCOTUS nominees, to which Jean-Pierre wouldn’t give an answer. “So, has he just not been working for four days, or what’s going on?” the reporter interjected.

“I just don’t have anything to share or to confirm or not confirm on this,” Jean-Pierre answered. Huh? She can’t confirm whether President Biden worked this week? Listen for yourself:

How A Trial In Finland Could Have Worldwide Effects On Government Persecution Of Religion

/0 Comments/in , /by

The trial of two Finnish Christians for publicly stating mainstream religious teachings that reserve sex only for heterosexual marriage is heading towards a judgment scheduled for March 30. The case could end up hitting Finland’s Supreme Court and even the European Court of Human Rights, which means its outcome could affect the rights of religious believers and political dissidents across the world.

Member of Parliament Paivi Rasanen and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola have been prosecuted now for nearly three years after Rasanen tweeted a picture of Bible verses in June 2019. Complaints about this tweet led to her prosecution under Finland’s “hate crimes” laws.

The government investigation of Rasanen’s tweet uncovered a theological pamphlet she wrote and Pojhola published in 2004, for which they have both been charged. The booklet states classic Christian teachings about sex as reserved only for marriage, and defining marriage as comprising only one man and one woman for life. . .

On Feb. 14, Pojhola’s lawyer Jyrki Anttinen argued “if the prosecution wins, the ability of pastors to preach the gospel is effectively over in Finland — without criminal sanction,” said Lorcan Price, a lawyer assisting the case for Alliance Defending Freedom International who attended the Helsinki hearing. An Irishman, Price listened with the aid of a Finnish translator.

The Finnish prosecutor who brought the case is seeking a fine of one-third of Rasanen’s annual income, the public erasure of documents and audio she’s made on the subject, and a financial penalty against the small religious organization Pohjola runs, the Luther Foundation. If the two Christians are convicted, the steepest possible penalty could be two years in prison.

Brewery Owner Compares Vaccine Mandate to Nazi Regime, Jim Crow

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New York City brewery owner sparked outrage online after comparing COVID-19 vaccine mandates to the draconian policies of Nazi Germany and the segregation-era South. However, he thinks the reaction was overblown.

“Everyone should have a basic human right what they decide to put in their own body,” Josh Stylman, 48, CEO of the popular Threes Brewing, told The Post. He was speaking out against the citywide coronavirus jab policies, which include requiring restaurant and bar patrons to present proof that they’ve been fully vaccinated prior to entry.

The controversy began brewing on Feb. 14 after the beer boss tweeted that “vaccine mandates are a crime against humanity” and “if you are not speaking out against them, you are a conspirator.” In a follow-up tweet, Stylman compared the policies to “early sentiments expressed in the Jim Crow South, Nazi Germany, Stalinism, Maoism, and other dark times in human history.” . . .

However, the restaurateur, who says he’s “pro-vaccine” but “anti-mandate,” said he felt that his statements were taken out of context.

“I’m not deluded enough to think it [the vaccine mandate] is like 1943 Germany,” Stylman, who said his grandparents were concentration camp survivors, told The Post. However, the brewer says he does see the parallels with regard “to banishment from public life,” adding, “I’ve heard this from my family.” (Read more from “Brewery Owner Compares Vaccine Mandate to Nazi Regime, Jim Crow” HERE)

Republican Congressman Dead at 59

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Jim Hagedorn (R-Minn.) has died following a battle with kidney cancer, his family revealed on Friday. He was 59.

“It is with a broken heart, shattered spirit and overwhelming sadness I share my husband Congressman Jim Hagedorn passed away peacefully last night,” Hagedorn’s wife, former Minnesota state GOP chair Jennifer Carnahan, said in a Facebook tribute.

“Jim loved our country and loved representing the people of southern Minnesota,” Carnahan added. “Every moment of every day he lived his dream by serving others. There was no stronger conservative in our state than my husband; and it showed in how he voted, led and fought for our country.”

Hagedorn was elected to represent Minnesota’s First District, which covers the southern portion of the state, in 2018. He was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in February 2019, just six weeks into his first term and two months after marrying Carnahan.

The lawmaker went public with his diagnosis in February 2020 after undergoing surgery and more than a year of immunotherapy treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. (Read more from “Republican Congressman Dead at 59” HERE)

Dem Politician: If Russia Invades Ukraine, ‘U.S. Troops Will Be There and Americans Will Die’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Friday on MSNBC’s “Craig Melvin Reports,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) warned of the “high stakes” involved if Russian President Vladimir Putin were to invade Ukraine or another NATO ally.

Moulton, who was in attendance for the annual Munich Security Conference, advised that if Russia were to invade Ukraine, “U.S. troops will be there and Americans will die.” . . .

“And if there is one thing we should learn about Vladimir Putin is that he’s not going to stop,” he continued. “We thought that he might just go to Georgia. We thought maybe he’d just take Crimea. Now he’s looking at taking Kyiv, taking Ukraine; we all have to ask what comes next. And of course, if it’s a NATO ally, that means U.S. troops will be there and Americans will die. So, the stakes are very high right now here in Munich.” (Read more from “Dem Politician: If Russia Invades Ukraine, ‘U.S. Troops Will Be There and Americans Will Die’” HERE)

Durham Report Proves Hillary Clinton — Not Trump — Was Putin’s Puppet; Media Turns From Ignoring Durham Evidence to Pretending to Rebut It; Hillary Clinton Screamed At, Called Names Ahead of New York Democratic Committee Speech

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By New York Post. Since 2016, Hillary Clinton has been trolling Donald Trump on social media over his alleged ties to Russia, calling him “Putin’s Puppet.” But Special Counsel John Durham’s probe has uncovered the truth about who was Putin’s Puppet. It was Clinton herself.

She and the Obama-Biden administration spy agency chiefs and their corrupt minions were unknowingly, or perhaps even knowingly, Putin’s little helpers in tearing our country apart.

It turns out that Clinton and her top foreign policy advisor, Jake Sullivan, spread a bogus Trump-Russia “collusion” narrative. To enable this Soviet-style disinformation campaign, Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign hired a tech firm to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower in Manhattan and at the White House in order to link Donald Trump to Russia.

Immediately following the 2016 election, the Russia-Trump collusion conspiracy became the intelligence community’s “bright and shiny object.” Serious intelligence briefings about the Russian threat and what Putin was up to were interrupted by national security officials asking irrelevant questions like, “What do the Russians have on Trump?” This was a major distraction that diverted intelligence resources and Washington’s attention from real threats, like China, Iran, and Putin’s hostile actions in Europe and Ukraine.

Media Turns From Ignoring Durham Evidence to Pretending to Rebut It

By WND. Legacy and social media kingpins learned what power they have when they decided, just before the 2020 presidential election, to suppress accurate – and devastatingly bad – stories about the Biden family’s lucrative overseas revenue strategies.

Few people heard the information, so they still supported Joe Biden, who was elected. It was only afterward that a Media Research Center poll showed that had those stories been reported more widely, Biden would have lost the election.

But the lesson was learned, and when special counsel John Durham recently submitted a court filing essentially describing how Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election hired cyberspies to look into web traffic involving candidate, then President, Donald Trump, to try to create a storyline that he was somehow linked to Russia, many media outlets developed laryngitis.

It was only days later they recovered, just in time to launch messaging that said the filing really didn’t say anything that bad about Clinton.

In fact, it wasn’t anything worth looking at, they contended. (Read more from “Media Turns From Ignoring Durham Evidence to Pretending to Rebut It” HERE)

Hillary Clinton Screamed At, Called ‘B—H’, ‘W—E’ Ahead of New York Democratic Committee Speech

By Radar Online. Hillary Clinton was booed, heckled, and called a number of obscene names by protestors before giving a recent speech on behalf of her fellow Democrats. The incident took place just hours after she addressed the bombshell accusations that she allegedly spied on former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

In photos and videos obtained by Daily Mail, Clinton was met by the angry protestors on Thursday upon her arrival to the Times Square Sheraton Hotel, the place in which she was staying ahead of her headline address at the New York Democratic Committee’s nominating convention the same day.

While the 74-year-old former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate was walking from her ride into the hotel, she was met by a contentious crowd that called her names such as “b—h,” “w—e,” and “criminal.”

The protestors were there not only to protest the former first lady but also to protest in opposition to the current NY vaccine mandates currently in place in both the city and state as a whole.
