Former NCAA swimmer Kaitlynn Wheeler spoke to Blaze News about the increased pressure states are coming under for allowing these competitions to go unchecked.
"If Congress doesn't intervene now, we're not just watching the death of women's sports; we're watching the collapse of basic truth and fairness in America," Wheeler claimed. "Female athletes are being ignored, injured, and erased, while the very institutions designed to protect us, like the NCAA, USA Fencing, and even public schools, are actively violating Title IX and spitting in the face of common sense."

A British Media Outlet Wants To Censor Anyone Who Publishes “Climate Change Counter-Narratives,” Including Me.
Who’s funding the effort? A company backed by Al Gore’s investment firm. - Stephen Heins
Last month, a new media outlet called Tortoise Media launched a database called “Hot Air,” which it claims is “making sense of climate misinformation.”
Let’s be clear: Tortoise, an online outlet based in the UK, is saying there’s too much free speech, and thus, it’s tacitly endorsing censorship for people who don’t toe the line on the official climate narrative...
Last month, a new media outlet called Tortoise Media launched a database called “Hot Air,” which it claims is “making sense of climate misinformation.”
The database includes “274 online actors,” a group that includes David Turver, Roger Pielke Jr., Bjorn Lomborg, Jordan Peterson, Alex Epstein, Tom Nelson, me, and many others who are committing the sin of “frequently disseminating climate change counter-narratives.”..
But here’s the real reason for the database:

Tortoise says that “pressure on platforms to filter out misinformation has given way to an online ecosystem that favors free speech — sometimes at the expense of leaving falsehoods unchecked and allowing conspiracy theories to become widespread.”What a load of flaccid piffle...

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan county has settled a lawsuit over an elected official who flashed a rifle during a COVID-19-era public meeting on Zoom.Patricia MacIntosh accused Ron Clous of trying to silence her right to free speech when he displayed the rifle during a 2021 meeting of Grand Traverse County commissioners.
The county last week approved a $100,000 deal with MacIntosh, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported. Insurance will cover it.

Clous, who is no longer a commissioner, also apologized...
The incident occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic when the county board held public meetings over video conference.

The US Navy is Sleepwalking into Defeat - CDR Salamander
This last quarter century’s process has a record of consistently producing sub-optimal performance.This isn’t just my opinion.
- Look at everything from how we manage our people using a Cold War framework, to program management that cannot design a laudable warship or a fit-for-purpose airwing, to the shambolic results of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and the Horn of Africa.
- The results speak for themselves.
- That challenge is in the Pacific.
To fight and win, there is one simple thing that is common to all wars, but in the Pacific is an order of magnitude greater, because of time, distance, and geography for a sea power coming from the other side of the planet to fight: logistics...

'In the name of diversity': Law firms sanctioned by Trump accused of illegally discriminating against whites * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
The report continued, "The AEO's charge of discrimination, brought on behalf of its members, cannot be so glibly dismissed. And with an official charge of discrimination filed against SEO and the law firms, the EEOC now has a statutory duty to investigate."
The report noted a finding of race discrimination, which evidence suggests could be obvious, "will vindicate Trump against charges his administration is targeting political enemies."
New Beard, Same Buttigieg Stephen Green
I wish I could locate the Twitter wit who said, during the Biden administration, that "Pete Buttigieg is so bad at being Secretary of Transportation that people actually know the name of the Secretary of Transportation."That line stuck with me — because it’s true.
And yet, here he is again, back on the virtual campaign trail with a town hall-style appearance for Vote Vets in Iowa.
- Nothing seems to stand in the way of the unaccomplished former Indiana mayor taking another stab at his party's presidential nomination — and he's so serious about rebranding himself that he's even grown a beard.
- The beard jokes write themselves, but I'm not here to take cheap shots at Buttigieg; I'm here to take high-class, data-rich cheap shots.

Instapundit - GEORGE GASCON SMILES
...under California‘s youthful offender law because they committed the crime under the age of 26.
GEORGE GASCON* SMILES: Menendez brothers have sentenced reduced to 50 years in prison opening possibility for parole.
Erik and Lyle Menendez are eligible for parole 35 years after they were imprisoned for murdering both of their parents.
The brothers faced Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, where Judge Michael Jesic reduced their sentences from life without parole to 50 years to life.
This change means they’re now eligible for parole under California‘s youthful offender law because they committed the crime under the age of 26.
* Which means George Soros smiles.
Gascon may have been tossed out of office, but plenty of Soros-backed D.A.s remain.
As Tom Cotton wrote in 2021: Recall, Remove & Replace Every Last Soros Prosecutor. - Ed Driscoll

The Chinese admit that Joe Biden’s weakness fed their trade depredations - Andrea Widburg
First, it reveals how utterly feckless Joe Biden was and, second, it reveals how America benefits from a manifestly strong president.
Here’s Bessant explaining that the groundwork for the deal was already laid by the agreements reached with China during Trump’s presidency, deals China unilaterally ignored because it rightly understood that Biden was too weak to matter:

US Tariffs and What’s Next for Canada: Trump’s Strategy Through a Canadian Lens
Unlike the United States, Canada’s economy relies largely on exports, which made up about one-third of its GDP in 2023.
In contrast, U.S. exports accounted for just 11 percent of its economy that year.At the same time, more than 75 percent of total Canadian exports went south of the border in 2023, while Canada received only 18 percent of total U.S. exports that year...
- China Would Use Canada as a ‘Storehouse of Natural Resources’
The United States may require Canada to align with its China trade policy as a condition for continued access to the U.S. market, says Crowley, particularly to ensure Canada does not become a “backdoor” for Chinese goods entering America...
“That will be a tough pill for the Liberal Party of Canada to swallow because they have, to a considerable extent, hitched their wagon to China as a rising power,” he said, arguing that the Liberal Party “has been an active promoter of China as an important partner for Canada for many years.”

- In addition to aligning with the United States on trade policy, Crowley says Canada must also contribute more on security and defense.
- “I think the biggest role that we play in that is that we have become a haven for money laundering, for the people who are actually behind the drug trade, which is mostly China,” he said...
