"I realize that opponents of my bill predict that allowing males to participate in women's sports would effectively abolish segregation by sex and lead to the demise of unique female only teams," Ossoff admitted. "I say so what. Isn't the existence of separate teams a disparagement of females. Doesn't it say that these females...

Among his benefactors are Chinese businesses and al-Jazeeraa. Ossoff contends that "these connections make me especially well-qualified to serve in the Senate.

Outsiders are funding nearly the entire cost of Georgia’s Democrat Senate candidates Jon Ossoff’s and Rev. Raphael Warnock’s campaigns, a new report said. This is the same Fidel Castro-sympathizing Warnock who referred to himself as a “pro-choice pastor,” and the same Ossoff who has ties to Communist China. Warnock, in particular, had also disparaged service in the U.S. military, telling church parishioners in 2011, “America, nobody can serve God and the military.” Oh, and let’s not forget that Warnock also has a record of spewing anti-Semitic hate at Israel. Of the $100 million each of the two leftist candidates have...
