Great points. We are not aware of any biological men currently or historically playing in the WNBA. So why is the transgender issue so hot in the WNBA right now? The answer is obviously that it’s another right-wing invented wedge issue to demonize Democrats and win elections.
The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://t.co/ZvFnQUocq4
He attacks mail‑in voting while voting by mail. He mocks vaccines while getting vaccinated. He pushes “Buy American” while selling foreign‑made merchandise. He demands action against undocumented workers while his own properties hired them. He rages about classified information while mishandling it. And now he’s falling asleep on the job after calling Joe Biden “Sleepy.” The hypocrisy is staggering.
Reporters and pundits are already getting the context of Trump’s speech tonight wrong. For the love of god, the speech has ZERO to do with the idiotic delusions about 2020 and everything to do with creating the pretext for Trump and the Republicans to rig the 2026 election.
A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:
Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”
Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.
About 1.5% of those get drafted.
Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.
The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”
I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️
