UPenn admits it violated Title IX

The Trump administration scored a major victory Tuesday when it reached agreement with the University of Pennsylvania, aka UPenn, that UPenn "has entered into a Resolution Agreement to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972." According to the Department of Education's statement, "the Department’s Office for Civil Rights’ (OCR’s) investigation that found UPenn violated Title IX by allowing a male to compete in female athletic programs and occupy female-only intimate facilities."

That's a big admission. UPenn admitted that they'd violated Title IX when UPenn let Will Thomas, aka Lia Thomas, compete as a female. I'm not a legal expert but I don't see why the DOJ couldn't use that admission in their lawsuit against the state of Minnesota and the Minnesota State High School League, aka the MSHSL in their lawsuit involving the transgender softball player.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is quoted as saying "Today is a great victory for women and girls not only at the University of Pennsylvania, but all across our nation. The Department commends UPenn for rectifying its past harms against women and girls, and we will continue to fight relentlessly to restore Title IX’s proper application and enforce it to the fullest extent of the law." Later, Secretsry McMahon took a well-desertved victory lap on the Ingraham Angle:

Riley Gaines joined Secretary McMahon on the Ingraham Angle for that well-deserved victory lap. Ms. Gaines is the catalyst in this movement. Without her getting on TV frequently and shining the spotlight on Lea Thomas, aka Will Thomas, this injustice likely would've gotten swept under the proverbial rug. These university presidents and athletic directors aren't profiles in courage. They're profiles in progressive activism. That's who these university 'leaders' are.

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...

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

Image
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...
