After a long quiet spot, transgender rights in sports just reappeared . This is the official IOC statement . First, the IOC statement is mostly a scientific statement, starting with "Eligibility for the female category is to be determined in the first instance by SRY gene screening to detect the absence or presence of the SRY gene. Based on scientific evidence, the IOC considers that the presence of the SRY gene is fixed throughout life and represents highly accurate evidence that an athlete has experienced male sex development." It continues, saying "Furthermore, the IOC considers that SRY gene screening via saliva, cheek swab or blood sample is unintrusive compared to other possible methods. Athletes who screen negative for the SRY gene permanently satisfy this policy’s eligibility criteria for competition in the female category. Unless there is reason to believe that a negative reading is in error, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime test." The NPR article reports...

Though I don't know what it's like to go through a TSA line these days, I'm definitely getting pissed with heartless Democrats who've kept TSA agents, Coast Guardsmen and women, FEMA agents and the people who protect us from cyber attacks, aka CISA off the job for 84 days since Oct. 1, 2025. That's a total of 157 days on the calendar. That means that these heartless Democrats have inflicted 80+ days of unpaid pain on the men and women of DHS. It was just a matter of time before President Trump entered the dispute . According to the article, "President Donald Trump at a cabinet meeting Thursday urged Congress to find a quick resolution to the Department of Homeland Security shutdown that’s leading to increasing headaches for air travelers. 'They need to end the shutdown immediately, or we’ll have to take some very drastic measures,' Trump said from the White House." This falls primarily on Democrats, starting with Sen. Schumer but also including Mi...

It isn't difficult understanding Scott Presler's frustration after reading Scott's tweet . It reads "Sometimes, I wonder why I do this work. I wonder why I work so hard to elect Republican majorities into office & when we are in power, our very elected officials don’t wield or harness that power. I wonder why I lose sleep, miss family vacations, & put my personal life on hold, so wealthy Senators can go on paid vacations after not achieving the very promises they campaigned on. Sometimes, I wonder if they truly care about us & if they actually want to represent the will of the very people that elected them into positions of authority. I will tell you this: if the Senate ultimately does not pass the SAVE America Act, I will use all of the energy, hustle, & organizing efforts we used to elect these Senators into office as tools to peacefully & respectfully defeat them in their upcoming elections." Blame it on the men that wrote the Constitution a...

Speaker Mike Johnson is one of the most mild-mannered men in Congress. That Mike Johnson didn't show up at this morning's press conference. Today's Mike Johnson was to-the-point and the opposite of diplomatic. House and Senate Democrats deserved everything they got from Mike Johnson. And then some. Johnson told reporters during a news conference this morning that "This is common sense versus crazy. It's crazy. I don't know another word to describe it. They're putting everybody in jeopardy — all this inconvenience and all this hardship for their own political skins." Democrats aren't negotiating. They're performing. If Democrats were serious, they wouldn't keep shifting the proverbial goal posts each day. Remember the 43-day Schumer shutdown? You should because it started on Oct. 1 of last year. Remember the reason Democrats gave for shutting down the government that long? This morning, Josh Holmes remembered perfectly. Then he plunged the ...

The heart of the case for Operation Metro Surge 'reparations' has always rested upon the premise that people were too afraid to leave their homes because of ICE's presence in Minneapolis. Further, Jacob Frey, Minneapolis's mayor, insisted in national TV interviews, that the Surge was making Minneapolis less safe, not more safe. I don't buy that because Minneapolis isn't that safe to start with. This article provides the proof, saying "According to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office, St. Paul had 196 auto thefts in January and February compared to 1,054 in Minneapolis. That's a more than 5.25:1 dicrepancy between Minneapolis and St. Paul. The article then reported "Police were called to a report of a shooting on West Lake Street near Grand Avenue on Friday just before midnight. Three injured parties were found on site, and a fourth later showed up at an area hospital, police later said in media statements. One of the teens was 16, the other thr...

Not that it's surprising but Chicago was the scene of another horrific murder this weekend. Guy Benson's op-ed should awaken the senses of people with common sense across the nation. That means idiots like Hakeem Jeffries, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Sen. Amy Klobuchar will continue with Joe Biden's open borders and sanctuary city laws. FYI- Sen. Klobuchar isn't stupid. She's just spineless . Benson's op-ed opens by saying "Sheridan Gorman was just 18 years old. A freshman at Loyola University in Chicago, she hailed from Westchester County, New York. She posted on social media that she was looking forward to the warmer weather arriving in the city she planned to call home for the next four years. Her friends adored her. Her family loved her deeply. 'She was full of life, full of kindness and full of a love that she gave freely to everyone around her,' they wrote in a statement, adding, 'she made people feel seen. She made people feel valued.'...
