Indianapolis   — Indiana’s governor on Monday vetoed a bill banning transgender females from participating in girls school sports. Opponents of the transgender sports bill argued it was a bigoted response to a problem that doesn’t exist, with the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana saying it planned a lawsuit against what it called “hateful legislation.” Republican sponsors of the bill said it was needed to protect the integrity of female sports and opportunities for girls to gain college athletic scholarship  CORRECTION*

You don't suppose NCAA headquarters being located in Indianapolis played a part in his decision.

They also say CRT doesn't exist. And that that there was no HS rape in Loudon County. Anything egregious and awful that they do to our children when we can't be there "doesn't exist." They are telling that, as far as they're concerned, WE don't exist.

Might I point out that even Vladimir Putin knows that girls are girls and boys are boys. He gave a speech about it last month.

The only solution is open athletic competition. The ladies want EQUALITY and a level playing field. Give them one. And while banning stuff, how about "Affirmative Action" or any special "advancement" program that is based on sex, sexual preference, gender, race...whatever? Why should anyone get any special advantage in admissions to professional schools, or why should anyone be penalized? If sports is so important...

And the "GOP" governor of South Dakota did the same. These RINOs pretend to be Repubs until an important vote comes up, which they can then block. Sorry, this is a "do or die" issue for politicians. If you, as a politician, cannot get behind keeping MEN from playing women's sports, you can't be trusted on ANYTHING, EVER.

Without reading the bill, it wouldn't surprise me if there were a poison pill or two written in. Although this Gov is as lame/weak as Pence was, he may be holding out for a better deal.

President Biden’s Putin speech in Poland
is a catastrophe

He came, he saw, he confused. Joe Biden’s call-to-arms speech in Poland was long on soaring rhetoric about the virtues of democracy but woefully short on what more the West will do to help Ukraine defeat the Russian invasion. But by the time he got to the finish, most of that was forgotten. What mattered most and what will be remembered for a long time was a single line the president of the United States said about the president of Russia: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”(Snip)Maybe the idea just popped into Biden’s addled brain and he added it on the fly.

Computers and other devices that amount to at least 8% of the Chicago Public Schools’ “technology assets” have been listed as “lost” during the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s official: 2021 was the most lucrative year ever for Wall Street financiers, according to data released Wednesday by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. The average bonus last year for those working in the New York City securities industry was $257,500 — that’s 20% more than 2020’s average bonus, the previous record high. Last year’s bonus pool of $45 billion, also a record, was 21% higher than 2020’s bonus bool of $37.1 billion. DiNapoli noted the massive surge in bonuses are “historically unique” given the nation was reeling from the coronavirus pandemic and resulting lockdowns.

In a sign of the times, a fed-up Queens landlord posted two giant banners calling out his allegedly deadbeat tenants for owing him $17,000 in back rent. “MY TENANTS ON THE FIRST FLOOR ARE NOT PAYING RENT” read the bold posters slung above the first-floor rental on 175th Street in Springfield Gardens. Landlords Calvin and Jean Thompson posted the banners — which can be seen from the Belt Parkway — in the hopes of shaming their tenants into paying up.(Snip)But with nearly 200,000 eviction cases pending in the city after pandemic protections and the state’s eviction moratorium created a historic backlog, the landlords see humiliation as the next best tactic.

When Vladimir Putin shattered the peace in Europe by unleashing war on a democracy of 44 million people, his justification was that modern, Western-leaning Ukraine was a constant threat and Russia could not feel "safe, develop and exist". But after weeks of bombardment, thousands of deaths and an exodus of millions of refugees, the question remains: what is his war aim and is there a way out? The goals he set at the start of Russia's invasion appear to have been watered down (Snip) Russia does appear to have accepted it cannot depose Ukraine's leadership and replace it with a puppet government, as exists in Belarus.
