Our insane world has hit woke bottom. This is from Fox News: Penn swimmer Lia Thomas came away with wins in the 100 meter and 200-meter freestyle races against Harvard on Saturday. The victories came days after NCAA updated its policy for transgender participation and how it will be determined on a sport-by-sport basis.What did Thomas do? He, and he is a he, shattered women's records. Who knows what women were denied scholarships because of this? The answer is for men to compete with men and women with women. It's not discrimination. It's common sense.Let's give a cheer for Texas...

As most know, there’s a contentious debate over whether it’s fair to let men who claim they’re female compete in women’s sports. It’s a debate driven more by emotion than reason, as so many things are. If a fellow claiming female status trounces woman athletes in a fairly high profile competition — as University of Pennsylvania swimmer “Lia” Thomas (birth name “Will”) did recently — the story makes headlines and raises ire; if such a man falters, as Thomas did quite suspiciously and conveniently even more recently, the story disappears. And each side in the debate often claims vindication based...

On Jan. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion nationwide with its ruling in Roe v. Wade. As we look back 49 years later, we mourn the more than 62 million babies in America whose lives since then have been extinguished while they were yet in their mothers’ wombs. Even as we grieve, however, we pro-lifers can also hope. The Supreme Court could be on the verge of overturning that infamous decision that even many abortion proponents concede to be a poor example of jurisprudence. Speaking last year to a group of fellow pro-lifers, I encouraged the crowd to...

""Even after a 12 hour night shift at the hospital last night, my wife still has the energy to shovel the driveway. God bless her and all our frontliners," wrote Winnipeg MLA Jon Reyes. Winnipeg Minister of Economic Development and Jobs Jon Reyes made the questionable decision of snapping a photo of his wife shoveling the snow after she had worked a 12-hour hospital shift. "Even after a 12 hour night shift at the hospital last night, my wife still has the energy to shovel the driveway. God bless her and all our frontliners. Time to make her some breakfast,"...

A new drug with the potential to treat endometriosis-associated pain with very few side effects is getting closer to official approval. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition and the leading cause of pelvic pain worldwide. With no known cause or cure, many patients have run out of options and are living with chronic and unrelenting symptoms. Safe and effective long-term treatments that can help patients live pain-free lives are desperately needed, and yet to date, very few drugs have been approved for clinical use. Those that have, like elagolix and leuprorelin (aka Orilissa and Lupron), don't work for everyone and...

Once it was easy to define what a dream girl was – created in Hollywood, she was a Marilyn, a Rita, a Betty Grable smiling artlessly over her shoulder. With the Sixties and the ‘youth-quake’, a more bohemian style was favoured – Julie Christie and Brigitte Bardot, less inclined to pander to men’s fantasies while still inspiring them. Then came the Seventies and it occurred to women that every other oppressed group seemed to be having their own rebellion. At the 1970 Miss World pageant, ‘Women’s Lib’ (what a great phrase – much better than poncy old ‘feminism’) protesters chucked...

Molly and Beth Davis agree that mother knows best. That includes when it comes to finding a man for daughter Molly — even if it takes a billboard in Times Square. Last week, mom Beth did just that, when a 47-foot-by-25-foot ad went up at the crossroads of the world, right above Tonic. “Date my daughter” it reads, with a photo of 30-year-old Molly and the URL for her dating profile. It’s all part of Beth’s quest “to know I am leaving her in good hands.” Beth, a 61-year-old from Boston, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 and...

CULVER CITY, CA—Trans woman Amy Schneider broke a winnings record on Jeopardy last week, earning more than any female contestant in the show's history. Experts say this proves once and for all that men really are smarter than women. "As a biological male, Schneider is once again proving the vast superiority of the male intellect," said MIT researcher Dr. Yamblo Figlenstrogg. "For better or for worse, this will be a huge boost for sexists and transphobes everywhere!" Audience members were reportedly in awe to find that Schneider's dress and pretty hair did not negatively affect the functioning of her brilliant...

EX-beauty queen Assunta Maresca, who became the first female boss of the dreaded Camorra gang after killing her rival, has died at the age of 86. The feared mob boss, dubbed Pupetta, or "Little Doll" in English, died at her home in Castellamare di Stabia, near Pompeii, following an illness. The heartless mafia icon rose to prominence when she shot dead her husband's killer in Naples at the age of 18 and went on to become the first female boss of the bloody Camorra clan. Maresca - the daughter of a notorious black marketeer - hunted down Antontio Esposito, the...

In other words, of the 130 million U.S. households, there are 23.1 million "nuclear family" homes in the U.S. -- the fewest since 1959. Here are some other related numbers from the same report: Percentage of U.S. adults living with a spouse: 50 percent (87 percent in 1960). Average age of a woman at first marriage: 28.6 years (20.4 years in the 1950s and 60s). Average age of man at first marriage: 30.4 years. Over 37 million adults lived alone in 2021 (33 million in 2011). 55.4 births per 1,000 in the second quarter of 2021 (58.5 in 2019). ---...

In this video, a man asks for a way out of a marriage with a single mom with 3 kids from 2 different fathers.

The order on the military registration of women as liable for military service will increase it by 3-4 million people. Viktoriya Arnautova, Advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, wrote about this on Facebook, Ukrainian News Agency reports. "The introduction of the order of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine No. 313 will increase this military registration (according to rough estimates) by 3-4 million people - highly qualified, trained in the relevant specialties and mastered the relevant professions, liable for military service. It seems that everything is logical as for a belligerent country defending its borders," she...

Beginning in 2022, women’s faces will circulate through the nation’s currency on quarters - something long overdue, according to Rep. Barbara Lee, a California Democrat who has been working on this legislation since 2017. “I wanted to make sure that women would be honored, and their images and names be lifted up on our coins. I mean, it’s outrageous that we haven’t,” Lee said. “Hopefully the public really delves into who these women were, because these women have made such a contribution to our country in so many ways.” Maya Angelou (April 4, 1928 – May 28, 2014) Dr. Sally...

WND recently covered a story from the U.K. in which a public health agency has declared – with total conviction – that Christian beliefs regarding marriage are "incompatible with human dignity." (snip) The LGBT agenda has always been the point of the spear of Cultural Marxism, and thus it is no surprise that the triumph of the putative Biden presidency is most gloatingly in-your-face in the heartbreaking, sexually dysfunctional parade of America's children dancing willingly into the flames of Sodom as the demonic media and politicians applaud. But, suddenly there is a small glimmer of hope thanks to a bold...

I JUST CAME UP WITH THE SOLUTION TO TRANS-WOMEN (FORMERLY MEN) DOMINATING WOMEN'S SOLO SPORTS: Simply have two categories in Womens Sports: XX Chromosone Records/Achievements XY Chromosone Records/Achievements Trans all you want. Your record goes into the appropriate category. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeesy. (This works for solo sports like swimming. Team sports, I haven't figured out yet)

When someone does the right thing, do you really care about why? Or do you care more about the right thing having been done? Personally, I care more about the results than the motivation. In politics, however, political opponents of anyone will make hay out of anything they can get their hands on. Can't blame them, really, but it's wildly dishonest and smells of desperation when it happens. Do you believe President Donald Trump did everything he did out of a deep-rooted belief in conservatism? He'd been a Democrats just a few years before running in 2016, having donated a...

If you want one exemplar of the moral and intellectual chaos that characterizes the age in which we live, there are a number of candidates: "Having fewer police leads to a decrease in violent crime" is one. "Men give birth" is another. But perhaps the most obvious moral and intellectual absurdity of all is the notion that Lia Thomas, a member of the University of Pennsylvania's women's swim team, won fairly in the team's recent meet against the Cornell University women's swim team. You see, Lia Thomas was a man until two years ago, when he announced that she is...

An analysis of modern DNA uncovers a rough dating scene after the advent of agriculture.Once upon a time, 4,000 to 8,000 years after humanity invented agriculture, something very strange happened to human reproduction. Across the globe, for every 17 women who were reproducing, passing on genes that are still around today—only one man did the same...Another member of the research team, a biological anthropologist, hypothesizes that somehow, only a few men accumulated lots of wealth and power, leaving nothing for others. These men could then pass their wealth on to their sons, perpetuating this pattern of elitist reproductive success. Then,...

After biological male transgender swimmer Lia Thomas dominated women’s events at the Zippy Invitational at the University of Akron earlier this month, athletes have expressed their frustrations at the fact that a man pretending to be a woman is setting records and overshadowing actual women in NCAA competitions.Last week here at PJ Media, my esteemed colleague Robert Spencer noted that Thomas’ fellow swimmers — the real women swimmers of the University of Pennsylvania — are secretly unhappy with their teammate.Behind the façade of joy and pride in Thomas’ accomplishments is growing discontent with the devaluation of women’s athletics that the...
