WHAM = Activists' Hockey League?

The Women's Hockey Association of Minnesota, aka WHAM, just lost a legendary player due to its firm refusal to pay attention to a petition and player complaints. Alpha News reported that "Another player for the Women’s Hockey Association of Minnesota (WHAM) publicly calls it quits in heartbreaking goodbye letter to hockey. Despite a petition and player complaints, WHAM has refused to change its trans policy allowing men to participate."

In their reporting, Alpha News also reported "Rachel Stoneberg, 42, a former University of St. Thomas player and 20-year staple in the Women’s Hockey Association of Minnesota (WHAM), shared her “Dear Hockey: Goodbye” letter to social media. In her letter, sent to WHAM on Oct. 10, Stoneberg laments the end of her three-decade long relationship with the sport over the league’s decision to allow biological males to compete on women’s teams."

This is still another encroachment into women’s sports by men. Further, it’s proof that the league is more interested in a political agenda than in player safety:

Citing physical differences, Stoneberg touched on the potential dangers of biological males playing against females on the ice.

"Men’s hockey is a different sport than women’s hockey, and male bodies are built differently than female bodies. These are factual truths that I would hope we can all agree on. If someone has played men’s hockey their whole life, are we confident they can turn off that switch? Or are they going to check someone in a corner, or lay someone out mid-ice, causing a concussion – or worse? There are documented instances of this occurring in WHAM, and yet the association has taken no action," stated Stoneberg.

It's time to admit that the people who run WHAM are misguided activists, not league executives. Further, it's time to tell these types of leagues this isn't ok, that endangering player safety will cost the league extra in insurance.

Tim Walz's hostile work environment at DHS

Image
It isn't a secret that Tim Walz is running for a third straight term as Minnesota's governor. What's been a secret up until this tweet appeared is that Tim Walz's Deparment of Human Services is a hostile work environment. According to the tweet, "Tim Walz is utterly dishonest, malicious at heart & has dangerous intent. The 'folksy' public image Tim Walz portrays is not even remotely what he is like to work with. Despite repeated warnings about fraud, Tim Walz opted to ratchet up the retaliation and silence any ethical voices. Besides fraud, Tim Walz has allowed agencies to spend thousands, possibly millions on retaliation efforts to scare, threaten, and silence concerned employees." The tweet continues "Worst of all, despite unprecedented funds awarded or appropriated to DHS, our agency is now a hollow shell of incompetency as our programs have been destroyed & most ethical staff have left." Don't think that this much fraud happ...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
