Maher, GOP Rep. Hunt: You Can't Be Taken Seriously on Policy if You Can't Tell the Difference Between Male and Female

Maher, GOP Rep. Hunt: You Can't Be Taken Seriously on Policy if You Can't Tell the Difference Between Male and Female: 

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher and Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) stated that you can’t seriously talk about policy if you can’t tell the difference between male and female.

Hunt said, “So, this is a sanity check. If you can’t tell me the difference between a man and a woman, then what happens is, I don’t want to hear your other argument, because it’s just that simple. If you don’t think that biological men should not compete against biological women, if you can’t say, that’s not a good idea, that’s ridiculous, we saw the issue with Riley Gaines and Simone Biles, we saw that debate unfold.

The Minnesota Star Tribune was the first outlet to report on the existence of the letter, citing two sources familiar with the investigation. According to those sources, the disturbing one-and-a-half-page document was found inside a Buick that Boelter abandoned shortly after murdering Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, and shooting Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.

Must read!!-----Five Takes on Bombing Iran - by Glenn Harlan Reynolds

From the department of Earth-shattering kabooms - Glenn Harlan Reynolds

People have been singing about it since 1980, but yesterday’s bombing raids on Iranian nuclear facilities were the first bombing attack since the 1979 hostage seizure.

• Despite numerous calls for action against the Islamic Republic, Operation Midnight Hammer was the first U.S. military action against important Iranian assets on Iranian territory. 

The bombs fell less than 24 hours ago, but here are a few preliminary takes.

• Competence. The most striking thing about the attacks was the extreme competence displayed by the Air Force, the Defense Department under Secretary Pete Hegseth, the various intelligence assets involved, the State Department, and the entire administration. There were no leaks. (How did they avoid leaks? Basically, they didn’t tell any Democrats what was coming. Take note.)...
• New Diplomacy...

Billionaire Walmart heiress funds anti-Trump chaos, backs radical 'No Kings' protests | Blaze Media

Christy Walton, a geriatric heiress to the Walmart fortune who had a 2% stake in the company as of last year, has made no secret of her liberal bent and has proven willing to shovel money into initiatives she apparently reckons will further the cause.

• She is the widow of John T. Walton, who was one of the sons of the Walmart founder Sam Walton. In June 2005, her husband died in a homebuilt ultralight plane crash, making her the main heir to his fortune of US$18.2 billion. (Wiki)
• Walton, whose net worth Forbes presently puts north of $19 billion...previously dumped tens of thousands of dollars into the Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump group founded by a handful of former Republican operatives, including John Weaver, who allegedly had a habit of sexually harassing young men online. 
• Walton continued donating to the group even after it staged a fake white supremacist rally in late 2021 to smear then-candidate Glenn Youngkin ahead of the Virginia gubernatorial election.

After throwing her money behind various political failures, she now appears keen to support something more consequential.

• While fellow travelers were attacking police and federal law enforcement agents in Los Angeles, the Walmart heiress set about promoting even more unrest, placing a full-page ad in the New York Times on Sunday featuring an image of the Statue of Liberty and a list of collective declarations, including "we defend against aggression by dictators" and "we uphold and defend the Constitution."...

No, Trump Didn’t Violate the War Powers Act - David Catron

The unhinged Democrats making that claim obviously haven’t read the statute.

It was hardly necessary to consult Nostradamus to know that the Democrats would denounce President Trump’s decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday. 

Nonetheless, the combination of 

• hypocrisy, 
• historical illiteracy, and 
• constitutional ignorance 

that characterized their reaction to the raid was startling even by Democrat standards. 

• Several actually claimed that Trump somehow committed an impeachable offence by ordering the strikes, though none seemed able to specify any “high crimes” or “misdemeanors.” 
• Some insisted that Trump violated the War Powers Act...

Obama never even bothered to formally report the action to Congress - Ed Driscoll

ED MORRISSEY: ‘We Came, We Saw, He Died:’ Dems’ Breathtaking Hypocrisy On War Powers.

...All of this venting reveals very short memories on the port side of Capitol Hill. Fourteen years ago, they couldn’t get enough of presidential strikes on a nation in the very same region. Remember Hillary Clinton’s chortling over the fall of Moammar Qaddafi and the role she and Barack Obama played in it? “We came, we saw, he died,” she raved to Leslie Stahl after a joint US-EU bombing campaign decapitated Qaddafi’s regime, and left a failed state in its wake:

In March 2011, Obama ordered a series of military strikes on regime targets in Libya, not because of a clear and present danger to US security or assets, but because of a “responsibility to protect” doctrine promoted by Samantha Power. ...and without going to Congress conducted military attacks with the express purpose of collapsing his regime in favor of the rebels in and around Benghazi — a bitter irony, in the end.

Obama never even bothered to formally report the action to Congress...

Its slogan “death to America“ was not window dressing but core ideology....

I served on the National Security Council under President Clinton. - Jamie Metzl@JamieMetzl

I was Joe Biden’s Deputy Staff Director of the Senate foreign Relations Committee. 

I voted for Kamala Harris and have been a vocal critic of many dangerous and undemocratic actions taken by President Trump. 

• But I’m not a blind tribalist and am perfectly comfortable praising President Trump for bold and courageous actions in support of America’s core national interests, as he took last night. 
• Iran has been at war with the United States for 46 years. 

Its regime has murdered thousands of American citizens.

Ilhan Omar Hates America, But There's a Reason Why She Stays Here - Geller Report

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) is deeply disappointed in her adopted country...  - Robert Spencer 

In June 2024, video began circulating of former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Khaire standing next to a beaming Omar and saying: 

• The interest of Ilhan are not Ilhan’s, it’s not the interest of Minnesota, nor is it the interest of the American people, the interest of Ilhan is that of the Somali people and Somalia. The success of Ilhan is the success of Somalia.”
• That video followed one in which Omar is giving a speech in which she says: We Somalis must have the confidence in ourselves that we call the shots in the U.S. The U.S. government will only do what Somalis in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else.” 
• She says that the U.S. government “must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia… Sleep in comfort, knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.”
• A third video contains footage of Omar from 2022, once again speaking in Somali to a Somali audience. She begins by saying: “We must fix our roads.” Nothing wrong with that, except that she isn’t talking about the roads in her congressional district. She is talking about roads in Somalia.

Preventing Another Pearl Harbor: Wargaming a Chinese Surprise Attack | The Epoch Times

Is the U.S. military prepared to deter a potential Pearl Harbor–style surprise attack by the Chinese communist regime? - Shen Zhou

As U.S.–China tensions escalate, the U.S. military is preparing for the possibility of a major war with the Chinese Communist regime—one that could begin with a surprise attack.
The top priority in any U.S.–China war game scenario is preventing a repeat of Pearl Harbor.

• On Dec. 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor—even knowing it couldn’t win a war against the United States—in an attempt to prevent the United States from interfering with its plans in Southeast Asia. The U.S. military was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, triggering the start of the Pacific War.
• Recently, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been aggressively building up its military to counter the United States, with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) openly confronting U.S. forces and allies across the western Pacific. The PLA has made breaking through the First Island Chain a key objective...
