  1.  @nicolaipedersen6269  No one is being excluded from sports. Lia Thomas swam, as a male, at UPenn and wasn't all that good. She could have stayed on the men's team but nothing fails like failure and being a relatively poor swimmer, I'm sure there was a lot of frustration for her. Since she was "assigned" male at birth, she swam as her assigned gender. However, and this is by your standards, she swam as a male even though she was transgender, which is fancy talk for "not a woman". Since she DID swim as a male, she wasn't being held back from participating at all. However, she was held back from WINNING because she wasn't good enough to swim at an extremely high level. She could have kept right on swimming as a male but she chose not to. So your claim that she isn't allowed to participate in sports is bogus. She swam for most of her collegiate career on the men's team. You're intentionally muddying the waters because you know damn well that this isn't about not being allowed to compete in sports. It's about whether it's fair for a biological man to compete as a woman. Argue on that point and don't make up issues that do NOT exist.

  2.  @jeffsmeff5792  Permission??? Then why did the Capitol Police tell them to leave, that they had no business being there? There are protocols and the building security staff told them to leave which implies those protocols were not followed. The Jan 6th rioters should not have been in the building and neither should they. The rules apply to everyone, MAGA supporters and Democrat supporters. If they were kicked out, they had no permission....it's rather simple.

  3.  @robbrown9337  Maybe, but I know one thing. This transgenders in girls sports issue would not have been a thing 40 years ago. We would have laughed at the suggestion of it. Johnny Carson would have had a field day making fun of it. Now, late night talk show hosts are afraid to even talk about it in a negative light.

  4.  @CalebTrask  Try it yourself. Go to your local theatre and when the movie starts playing, pull out a bullhorn and start screaming into it about the right to free speech and refuse to stop. Just keep repeating it. Let's see what happens.

  6.  @recline69  It's not "their" area. It's the area of what happens to be there, including you, if you decide to go to that spot. NY City is also their area. So is Jackson, Mississippi. It's also "our" area as well as the north woods of Minnesota. Animals don't recognise property rights like we do. It's theirs to steal and protect when they can and as they see fit. I have every right to protect myself from them when I encounter them as they have the right to protect myself from me.

  7.  @TheDJanssen  I can turn my TV off or change the channel if I feel the material isn't age appropriate. I'm NOT at school when my kids are there. I can't follow them into the library to see what books they might be reading. I have to trust the school officials to ensure that what my kids are exposed to is age appropriate. However, I'm not going to blindly trust them. I want to know what's in the library and what is a part of the school curriculum. Keeping that from me will ultimately create a rift between me and my children, with the school system aligned with the kids against me, expanded to being between kids and school against the parents. Also, the PG gives me an indication that I might not want my kids to see it and that I should look a little closer at the material before I make a decision on whether to allow my kids to watch these programs or not.

  11.  @sherryh7485  What's maddening is that adopting is a process that can take YEARS but any crack head can get pregnant and deliver a baby. I have a sister and brother who have adopted children and they both have stable marriages, good jobs and nice homes. However, the hoops that they had to jump through to adopt those kids were beyond believable. 2 of those kids are now married and have started their own families. Being adopted was the best thing that could have happened to them. If a woman is fertile, breed away no matter how stable your life is. However, young women, who have fertility problems, have to prove their abilities and their moral character, in triplicate, before they're even considered to adopt a young child in dire need of a stable home. What a weird system we have. I'm not suggesting that we restrict the rights of women to get pregnant but why is it SO difficult to give their children a good home if the mother doesn't want the child. I'll never understand it.

  12.  @ponygirl1624  There will ALWAYS be problems, no matter where you go. That's life. What's important is the overall picture. Best economy, best education, people flocking to live there. People are flooding across the Mexican border, into the US, because of the scope of problems in their home countries. People in the United States are leaving their home states and going to other states for the same reason. Populations in California, New York, New Jersey and a few others are going down because of people and businesses leaving. Populations in Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Idaho and others are going up. Logic says it's because the problems are worse in some states than in others. You figure out why that would be.

  13.  @melgillham462  If it's that case, then the baker didn't discriminate against a gay couple. They were quite willing to bake the cake but they refused to write something, on the cake, that they didn't believe to be true. That would violate their freedom of expression. However, they even submitted the names of other bakers who would be willing to do the decorating. Let's turn this around. If I went to a bakeshop and I knew that the owners were LGBTQ+ activists, could I force them to decorate my cake with "Men can't get pregnant"? I would say "No, I can't force them to express themselves in ways that they don't believe to be true". I might not agree with them and I don't, but it's their right to believe as they wish and express themselves accordingly. Now, if they told me to get out and that they refused to bake a cake for me because of my beliefs, THAT would be discrimination.

  14.  @jimmcloughlin  Estimates for the deaths of the famine, brought on by collectivisation in China, put in motion by Mao, run as high as 55 million. That's in the fifties, NOT WW2. Then there was the cultural revolution that started in the mid sixties and lasted 10 years. Add that to the famines, and it may be as high as 70 million. These are deaths, not due to wars, but to the disastrous policies of the Chairman Mao and his associates. Then there were the disasters of Stalin and Lenin. Once again, not due to WW2, but to the famines caused by collectivisation of farms and the horrors of their police state. These are deaths brought down on their OWN people. Then the famines of the Soviet Union, brought on by the same communist policies under Lenin and Stalin. Around 5 million in 1923 and maybe as many as 7 million in 1933, including around 3.5 million Ukrainians. Then another 1.7 in the Gulags. Who knows how many millions have died in North Korea in the 20th century. Another 2 million in the killing fields of Cambodia by the communists there. Around 1 in 4 Cambodians died because of Pol Pots great agrarian society. These are just the numbers from the main communist powers. We have no idea on the numbers in the Iron Curtain countries of those times, or Cuba, Zimbabwe and other socialist regimes. These are all deaths NOT through foreign invasions or wars. These are deaths caused directly from the policies of the communist governments. I have references for all of it. All you gotta do is ask.

  16.  @user-te9ut7ms4l  That's who I would go to. The person who's being accused of wrongdoing. They'll always tell you the truth. (BIG eye roll). That's how our courts should operate. "Are you guilty? No? Okay....you can go home now." Makes sense to me. It would save us a fortune and all the prisons would be empty is 15 years.

  17.  @coryburns4309  There's so many questions that this reporter could have asked, in face of state emergency. Questions that might even help his audience prepare for the hurricane. Instead, he quoted someone who said something about racism, which helps no one with the emergency and may even cause harm for some. Basically, he was rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

  18. @Ron White This is so unbelievable shallow. What you're suggesting is a chain reaction of rising inflation, rising minimum wages to catch the inflation which causes MORE inflation which will induce another round of rising minimum wages to catch inflation which will cause MORE inflation. You can't control inflation through controlling wages. Increasing the minimum wage only sets a new bar for poverty. In 1972, I made 2 bucks an hour. I make 22 bucks now and I'm worse off. In other words, more money doesn't mean greater wealth if that money becomes worthless. I don't CARE about Republican and Democrat politics. What I know is that this administration is orchestrating higher energy prices intentionally and that forcing higher wages isn't going to solve the suffering of the those who can least afford to pay for that energy Don't let politics get in the way of common sense.

  22.  @darwinhaditbackward5899  I've not read Bell but I know who he is. His roots are in Marxism although his ideas have evolved past that. I know that the term "Critical Race Theory" was suggested by Kimberle Crenshaw, at a Marxist or Communist meeting, held in an old nunnery in Madison Wisconsin. Derrick Bell was in attendance as well as other radical socialist luminaries. I HAVE read Paulo Freire, a Marxist educator from Brazil, who's influence has taught how to teach students using his educational methods which he called Critical Consciousness. They use his methods, not to teach about CRT and the other Critical Theories, but to teach with those ideas embedded in the lessons. I do know that. I also know that CRT is just a reworking of Marxism. Instead of revolution where the working classes seize the means of production, they're using race to pit one group against another. It's an updated call to revolution....that's all it is.

  23.  @queent3343  Haven't you seen any of the school board meetings where parents were reading from books that were recommended reading for primary school children. Some of it so explicit that the school board members told the parents that it was too offensive to read at this meeting, yet those books were in the classroom and school library. Maybe you should see the TikTok videos about the teachers of kindergarten to grade 3, talking about their sexuality, holding pride parades for the little tykes, drag queen story time and more. Besides, even if none of this was true (which it isn't), why not make sure that teachers don't talk about sexually explicit material to little kids whether it be LGBTQ or STRAIGHT. It's just not necessary. What's really strange is that Dave Rubin and his husband have been guests of Desantis and he even congratulated them on the adoption of their little babies. Why would a man, who supposedly hates gays, do that? You're the one that so filled with hate that you won't dig deeper into the topic. You WANT the divide. It makes you feel superior somehow that you're better than those "bigots". Watch "The Quartering" here on YouTube. He's got all kinds of videos showing teachers who brag about how they've come out to their students of a very young age and how good it makes them feel. What kind of narcissism, must a person have, to find validation from 6 year olds? Why would a teacher even talk about their personal life let alone their sexual preferences to little kids? It's just plain weird.

  25. It is not up to Congress to demand anything. It's the job of "we the people". We elect Congress to do the things that we feel are best for out country. A Congress, or any governing body, that makes demands, without the will of the people, will become an autocratic and tyrannical state. We should be demanding that our representatives, in Congress, make the changes we feel necessary, using the Constitution as the ultimate authority.

  26.  @AllAboutDrumming  What's so complex about the question? It's either "Yes they need help" of "No, they have the capability to do it on their own". Strange how some minorities do quite well. East Asians are extremely successful and they're a minority. Why is that? They're not asking for help. In fact, they're being discriminated against by some of the best colleges in the country and they STILL succeed. So, now I'll leave it to you. Do minorities need special help to succeed? Answer the question. Don't hide behind left or right wing politics. Give us YOUR opinion.

  28.  @rayray8687  The minute he started going on about the court, Kennedy knew that he wasn't going to answer his question. Kennedy asked what HE thought, not the courts, not the milkman or his grade 4 teacher. The answering process is extremely simple. It goes like this. "I think that......." and you say what it is that YOU believe. Biology isn't a matter for the judicial. A person with a mind of their own and speaks forthrightly will answer the question as it is asked. A person who's about to parrot the party lines won't say what he believes. He will skirt the issue and talk in circles. Kennedy has seen this too often to be fooled by those who are afraid to answer what's in their heart.

  29.  @rayray8687  Maybe it's YOU that's confused about sex and gender. I have a copy of the 1986 edition of Webster's Dictionary and it's quite clear that sex and gender are the same thing. That it's different is a new phenomena the idea that gender is assigned at birth wasn't even a thing 10 years ago. This is a version of Orwell's depiction of the ordeal that Winston Smith had to go through. Instead of 2 plus 2 equals 5, depending on how you look at it, it's that there is no definitive gender and it's all how you look at it....a social construct. It's the socialist mindset that says that there's no objective truth. Besides, all he had to say was "No, I do not believe sex and gender to be the same thing" That's it. You had no trouble saying it with your claim of it being an "irrefutable" fact. If you could do it, why couldn't he?

  30.  @almosthuman1398  " I allowed you to get there under your own steam." How magnanimous of you. You "allowed" me to do it. Sounds condescending to me. The roles of procreation has been the defining factor on how we defined men and women throughout all of human history. To carry out those roles depends on the plumbing. If you don't have the plumbing, you can't get pregnant. That means that you're NOT a woman. Our survival depends on this binary relationship. One carries the sperm. The other the egg. We need it to ensure genetic diversity to survive. So how do we describe the binaries that take part in procreation? The one that carries the sperm is the man. The one that carries the egg is the woman. Beattie became pregnant using donated sperm. That implies that he carried the egg which means that biologically he's a woman. You can dress him anyway you want, surgically remove body parts, give him drugs but his body still functioned as a woman. He carried the egg and then had full female capabilities that enabled him to carry a child to birth. That will NEVER happen to me. I'm NOT a woman. I do not and will NEVER have those capabilities. I am a man. Not because I wish it or feel it or passionately want it. I'm a man because that's what my body developed me to be. Neither the doctor or my parents assigned my manhood to me at birth. NATURE did. Biology. My role was clearly defined by how my body was designed and it defines its role in the perpetuation of my species. That's been the clear designation of gender all through history. In fact, 20 years ago people would have laughed at the ideas of multiple gender roles. The entire Beattie thing is a game of sleight of hand.

  31.  @bigperm3853  They've been taught the ideology all through school. It wasn't called CRT, at the time, but it was in line with radical leftist thinking. When those students were finally confronted with the idea of CRT, they were already well versed in the mindset and found that it aligned with what they learned in school. The ideas of CRT had already been planted in their minds.

  32.  @JohnSmith-yd5wq  Now that you've explained it that way, I have to take back everything I wrote. LOL. You've laid out such a fantastic case, I just can't refute it. Who would've thought that just saying "wrong" could be so deep, so cerebral, so intellectual. I bow before your philosophical mind. Honestly....I do. There's no need to explain yourself any further. There's nothing more that you can teach me on the subject.

  33.  @mattwilliams3427  A kid can even check it out and keep it in his locker and read it under a tree in the schoolyard during lunch. They can show it to their buddies and they can all have a good laugh. Then they can return the book, a week later, without the book ever being taken off school property. Why would a kid do that? Because they know that his parents will think it inappropriate and that it could set off problems that the kid doesn't want. I'm betting that some of the teachers and librarians are even encouraging their students to NOT let their parents see them. More secrets from their parents. A conspiracy between teachers and kids against parents.

They didn't work on their economy or social infrastructure. They built a huge tunnel system and then bought all the weapons that this donated money could buy. There's a reason why Israel is so rich and Gaza is so poor and it has NOTHING to do with oppression.

  37. That's funny. I had a guy tell me that Trump is a liar. He lies about everything, he said. "A politician that lies" I said, in return "Say it ain't so!!". In spite of the rough edges, I sure wish Trump was back. I never felt this uncomfortable when he was president, even during the year of Covid. Now it's inflation, high gas prices, war ramping up, illegals flocking in, trouble on the border with Canada with trucking, supply chain issues, and SPENDING. INSANE SPENDING. Biden has got to go as soon as possible.

  38.  @khalilfreeman7194  The question was "Can men get pregnant?" It wasn't "Can transgender men get pregnant?" The addition of the word "transgender" changes the question. Men and transgender men are two different categories. In fact, you've just confirmed it by your use of the descriptor "transgender" to show that they are different.

  39.  @firebrand69  "Standards of care" are conclusions drawn from scientific studies. The standards are supposed to come from what the studies have shown. They aren't the studies of themselves. So, we'll have to ask again. From what scientific studies do the "standards of care" draw from?

  41.  @CalebTrask  "Free speech also involves not imposing your speech on others." That was my original comment. So, you replied with a mocking remark about being home-schooled, implying that I didn't know what I was talking about. So, I suggested that you try it out for yourself. Try and see if your right to free speech is absolute and that you have the right, in a public setting to disrupt a scheduled event by giving a speech, just like the guy in this video. See how that works out for you. As a matter of fact, if you were attending an event and someone started to disrupt proceedings with his "free speech" rights, you'd be upset with him, especially if you paid good cash to be there and be part of the audience....like at a movie theatre. I'm going to suggest that your "blathering" comment is fake. That you know damn well what I'm talking about but you know damn well that what I'm saying is true but you can't admit that. You're being intellectually dishonest.

  47.  @laurenhahn101  Because they're not focusing on running the best service possible. They're acting as if the personnel that they employ is more important than the customer and providing what the customer wants. Worse, it encourages the chaos and resentment that comes when the activist employee is looking for every misstep or misspoken word that their fellow employee makes instead of focusing on being the best employee that they can be. Everyone knows that the word "man" is a generic for all humans but can also be used to designate gender. They're creating a whole new list of swear words while abandoning the swear words of the past. It's telling people what to say and that's not only ethically wrong, it goes against the Constitution. That's what's wrong with it.

Instead, the people of Gaza, which is an independent state, used all available cash to dig hundreds of miles of tunnels and bought all the military gear that their money could buy. Explain to me how that helps ANYONE in Gaza, other than the leaders of Hamas and arms dealers from other countries. Gaza, Pol Pot's Cambodia, Cuba, the Soviet Union, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, they're all examples of countries that expect success through the largess of others, instead of getting it for themselves. Envy is a powerful drug and it's completely destroyed the people of Palestine.
