Surfer Bethany Hamilton found some support online from fellow athletes after she spoke out against the World Surf League’s (WSL) rules governing transgender women competing in events. Hamilton said in a video posted to her Instagram on Saturday that she would not be participating in WSL events if the rule remains. The WSL said transgender female athletes need to maintain a testosterone level of 5 nmol/L for at least a year to participate in the women’s division. Hamilton said in her video she would rather see WSL create a new division.

IF the women competitors were smart in my mind, everyone of them should boycott the event if the is a man competing as a woman. Why put up with this BS.

I still say, if we are going to appease these mentally ill transgender people, the only fair way to do it is to have three categories for sports: 1) Biological males competing with biological males (the men's category) 2) Biological females competing with biological females (the women's category) 3) Transgender people competing with transgender people (the freakshow category). I'm sure all the lie-beral women wanted to "stick it" to the male patriarchy by supporting all the homosexuals and other freaks (like transgenders). But it sounds like more and more women are realizing that normal biological men are not the problem. Homosexuals and other freaks (like transgenders) that are destroying women's sports are the problem!!!!!

Bethany is one tough cookie. Of course she is right about this issue, but she knows about competing with a disadvantage and overcoming. The transgender thing creates a far greater gap to overcome. A few years ago Bethany and her husband competed on The Amazing Race. It's usually about 12 teams of friends or spouses, parent and child, etc. The couple's race around the world and complete tasks that have something to do with the country or region they are visiting that day. The last team to complete the task is eliminated from the race. Many of the tasks involve running, climbing, heights and physical endurance. Because she only has one arm, she definitely was at a disadvantage. No one would have objected to loosen up on the rules. Bethany was amazing. She completed every task, everything that was asked of her. She and her husband worked as a team and didn't devolve into petty, fights like some other teams do. They stuck with it and completed the race. She never moaned or complained. It was inspiring. Women in sports have a terrific role model in Brittany Hamilton. It will be interesting to see who speaks out against her stand on this and what they will say. I wouldn't confront a lady who lost her entire arm to a shark and who went back into the ocean.

It was easier for her to battle the shark that took her arm than it will be against these woke insane beings. I back all these girls and women who simply want to compete on an honest level with their own kind.

Men's teams were not created to be only restricted to men. And they still aren't. But it turned out that the teams end up majority men because of nature. And it generally remains that way because of nature. So society recognized that in order to have women playing sports at all we would need to have teams specifically for women where men are not allowed. Allowing trans men-to-women to be on the women's teams cheats the purpose of having a women's sports team in the first place.

Why, oh, why do we on the conservative side continually allow our enemies to dictate the language of debate? THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “TRANSGENDER”! There are mentally defective XY males that pretend to be XX females and mentally defective XX females that pretend to be XY males. All of them suffer from severe mental illness. Some of them are deranged enough to mutilate their own bodies in their quest to achieve the impossible. Stop playing along with this totally insane delusion. “Transgender” is a term for something that quite simply does NOT exist.

For all of New York Mayor Eric Adams's whining about migrants rolling into his sanctuary city, inflicting unbearable costs onto taxpayers, he's quietly decided to play the same game the Texas border cities are playing. He's sending the migrants to someplace else. According to the New York Post: Disgruntled migrants fed up with the Big Apple’s crime and grime are taking off to the Great White North — on bus rides paid for by New York taxpayers, The Post has learned.

That claim about three Chinese spy balloons

The Milley boys at the Pentagon have come up with a new public relations "save" for Joe Biden and his pathetic indecisiveness about a China spy balloon brazenly traversing the continental United States until it was shot down over the Atlantic yesterday. According to the Pentagon's website, defense.gov: The balloon did not pose a military or physical threat. Still its intrusion into American airspace over several days was an unacceptable violation of U.S. sovereignty. The official said Chinese balloons briefly transited the continental United States at least three times during the prior administration. Predictably, the left has seized on that last line and had a field day:

Joe Biden has been hit by crisis after crisis as a result of his own bad decisions, and oddly enough, they are starting to look alike. Take the latest China balloon incursion, where some kind of spying device has been sent over military installations throughout the U.S. interior, with Biden doing nothing about it. That's a sovereign violation that ought to be drawing a major response to an arrogant, expanding wannabe superpower desperate to flex is military muscles, yet Joe's response, that shooting the invading device down might create debris or hit a populated area (America is loaded with unpopulated ones the balloon is traversing) is simply pathetic.

WASHINGTON — Outgoing White House chief of staff Ron Klain broke down in tears over and over again Wednesday while handing over power to his successor Jeff Zients — going so far as to praise President Biden as a role model for parenting and Vice President Kamala Harris as a great officemate. “This is the best job I ever had,” the 61-year-old Klain blubbered as he began his remarks at an East Room transition celebration, forcing his 80-year-old boss to supportively rub his shoulder as he regained his composure. In the moments when he wasn’t crying, Klain seemed to confirm that Biden is running for reelection in 2024

As if the cost alone weren't enough to make the millions of illegal migrants brought in by Joe Biden's open borders unpopular here, the ingratitude and entitlement mentality of these illegals now seals the deal. According to National Review: More than 50 migrants camped outside the Watson Hotel in Manhattan in protest on Sunday night as the city sought to move the single male migrants to a new shelter at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal to make space for migrant families. The new shelter holds as many as 1,000 single adult men and provides the same services the migrants had been receiving, city officials told the New York Post.

A certain amount of foofaraw came about when FBI bigshots Peter Strzok and Lisa Page drew headlines for their Trump-hating text-messages while in the throes of an extramarital affair. And rightly, most of the attention went to the pair's illegal use of government property and underhanded Borgia-style machinations against the incoming U.S. president. But their openly out there extramarital affair is worth noting, too. Under FBI regulations, adulterous affairs are a firing offense, given that such behavior puts national security at risk and automatically leads to the loss of one's security clearance. It makes sense that someone who can't keep a personal vow probably wouldn't be inclined to remain loyal to his country,

Joe Biden likes to advertise himself as ordinary 'Scranton Joe' who's a family man and "devout" Catholic to the public. A look at news rolling out about Biden's extended family in the wake of recent scandals suggests a different story. Far from being Lunchbucket Joe, House Biden is more like Venezuela's Maduro family, or Chavez family, or Cuba's Castro oligarchs. Cut to the chase and throw in Beijing's princelings or Russia's oligarchs, who frequently make cameo appearances. Not surprisingly, most claim to have a soft spot for "the common man." Some photos of "the life" can be viewed here, here, here, here, and here.

Just as the illegal migrant surge is hitting new highs, Joe Biden went to Mexico -- and blew his golden chance to make a deal with Mexico to stop the incoming border surge. According to Bloomberg News: US and Mexican cabinet officials ran out of time before discussing migration in a formal meeting in Mexico City on Monday, according to people familiar with the matter, leaving a major issue between the countries largely unaddressed. Uncontrolled migration across the US southern border remains a political liability for President Joe Biden, and the topic was on the agenda for a formal meeting between the American leader, Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador

I really miss Rush. Regardless how complex or critical the issue, I could always count on Rush Limbaugh’s entirely rational and moral analysis, delivered by an apex professional with genuine compassion, even for those with whom he disagreed. He was ensconced behind that golden EIB microphone; a master of ideas and argument. From his lofty height, he engaged with every thorny problem with an equanimity that drew a placid sagacity from an ocean of experience, and confidence. After all, Rush was “documented almost always right 99.7% of the time.” He was a compass that always pointed the precise bearing to truth. He was the constitutionalists’ loadstar.

Somehow, the weirdest thing that happened at the State of the Union was not Joe Biden proclaiming that he’ll veto any legislation that raises the cost of “frisizhnjubs,” a line I’m still trying to figure out. Instead, it involved a pre-speech kiss delivered by Jill Biden to Kamala Harris’ husband, Douglas Emhoff. Honestly, I have no idea what happened here. When I first saw that, I tried to rationalize it. Maybe non-family members kiss on the lips like that routinely and I just missed it all this time. But the more I think about it, the more I don’t think I missed it. Rather, it’s just incredibly strange.
