Colin Allred vs. Ted Cruz, televised debate edition

Colin Allred, Ted Cruz's opponent in the Texas Senate race, is getting hit with a $3,000,000 ad buy that's hitting Allred for one of his votes. It must be effective because Josh Stewart, Allred's campaign spokesperson is already whining. Stewart is complaining "This is a disgusting, false attack, and another example of how Ted Cruz only wants to divide Texans." To provide some context, the ad accuses Allred of "vot[ing] against the Protection of Women and Girls Act of 2023. He stood with woke progressives and radical Democrats, not our daughters."

There's nothing false about the ad. According to this vote-tracking website, Allred voted no on "H.R. 734: Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023." The vote happened on April 20, 2023. According to the text of the bill, it simply states that "for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of such Act in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth." In other words, people born with 2 X chromosomes are considered female and are eligible for competition in women sports. All other people are excluded. This is the first time I've looked into Allred. Here's what I found out about him:

Colin Zachary Allred (born April 15, 1983) is an American politician, civil rights lawyer, and former professional football player serving as the U.S. representative from Texas's 32nd congressional district since 2019. The district includes the northeastern corner of Dallas, as well as many of its northeastern suburbs, such as Garland, Richardson, Sachse, Wylie, the Park Cities, and Rowlett. A member of the Democratic Party, Allred defeated 11-term incumbent Pete Sessions in the 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas.

Allred was a linebacker who played for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL) for five seasons. He left football to pursue a degree in law, receiving his J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, followed by positions in the Obama administration, first at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and later at the Executive Office for United States Attorneys.

This guy sounds like a Pelosi yes-man. Allred isn't a leader. Sen. Cruz is. Sen. Cruz knows the definition of a woman. Based on his latest vote on the issue, Allred apparently doesn't know that definition. Soon, Pelosi's yes-man will debate Sen. Cruz:

What type of sycophant thinks that biological men should compete with women in women's sports? This isn't just an academic question for Allred. He's a former NFL player. He knows the difference between male and female athletes because he was a male athlete. When they meet for their debate, Sen. Cruz will enlighten Allred on the subject.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
