Donald Trump, Jack Brewer vs. Keith Ellison, Tim Walz, Title IX edition

Keith Ellison and Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL Attorney General and DFL Governor respectively, decided to sue President Trump in their attempt to eliminate girls and women's rights under Title IX. If successful, Walz's and Ellison's lawsuit would eliminate rights granted to women when Title IX was passed over 50 years ago. The key paragraph in Title IX says "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance[.]"

When women aren't awarded scholarships because biological males have placed higher than, for instance, Riley Gaines in a specific sport, how is that different than there only being men sports where women don't have ma realistic shot at winning? That's the world that existed pre-Title IX.

Keith Ellison isn't worried about protecting women's civil rights. He's interested in scoring political points. He's got an election to win in 2026. Check this out:

“[Minnesota] has veered so far off course that it’s doing the exact opposite of what it once stood for," said Brewer. "It used to be a national leader on Title IX and women’s rights. Now, it’s destroying women’s sports, degrading women and promoting situations where men are physically dominating women."

"It’s heartbreaking for any former Gopher, any former Viking, any professional athlete who’s lived in that great city. It’s embarrassing. It’s shocking. And, to be honest, it’s just devastating," added the former football player.

Keith Ellison is reciting the typical DFL talking points at the end of this video report:

In a statement, Ellison said "I will continue to defend the rights off all students to play sports with their friends and peers.The definition of peer is "a person who is equal to another in abilities, qualifications, age, background, and social status." How is someone who is bigger, faster and stronger be "a person who is equal to another in abilities?" That's the opposite of being a peer. As such, Keith Ellison's words are deceptive and/or dishonest. This lawsuit isn't about equal rights amongst peers. It's about Keith Ellison buying votes after getting his hand caught in the Feeding our Futures cookie jar. Scofflaws like that deserve a comeuppance.

PS- Jack Brewer is right. He said, correctly, that Minnesota "used to be a national leader on Title IX and women’s rights. Now, it’s destroying women’s sports, degrading women and promoting situations where men are physically dominating women."

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

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...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

Is this Tim Walz's 'One Minnesota'?

Image
Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, testifed last Thursday that Minnesota isn't a sanctuary state. Predictably, Gov. Walz wasn't entirely honest with Tom Emmer during Rep. Emmer's cross-examination of Walz. During Emmer's powerful cross-examination, Gov. Walz insisted that Minnesota isn't a sanctuary state. Keep that in mind while reading this article . First, this article isn't for the faint-of-heart. Next, it's obvious that Gov. Walz isn't comfortable telling the truth. Let's get into the report. Pay particulalr close attention to the dates included in the report. The report opens by saying "A Guatemalan national convicted of sexually abusing his stepdaughter is now facing federal charges after allegedly dragging a deportation officer down a Bloomington street with his car during a violent immigration arrest attempt. According to a criminal complaint, Roberto Carlos Munoz, 39, was charged with assaulting a federal officer with a deadly we...
