California Refugee. I love the Dodgers, In N Out, the Pacific, LA museums, and tacos, but I loathe palm trees and almost every CA politician, state & federal.
This is exactly who CA democrats are. They are dictatorial in every aspect of life. They literally want to tell you what to do and think in all circumstances. This is why I, a sixth-generation Californian, no longer live in my home state.
This fantasy that Gen Z and Millennials have some form of political enlightenment that has escaped the generations that came before them is a source of never-ending hilarity.
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.

The Constitution does NOT give you rights. You already have them.
The Constitution simply tells the government that it cannot take those s rights away.
I wish more people understood this.
When I spoke about abuse in gymnastics in 2008, people said I was a liar and a grifter and shitty gymnast even though I'd been a national champion. (Not sure why that would matter if I was shitty -- do shitty gymnasts deserve abuse? And I've said repeatedly I was the worst national champion that ever was so you're not hurting my feelings to say it.)
Then Dominique Moceanu spoke out a year later, an Olympic gold medalist, and they called her a grifter and a liar and an unwell person and an ungrateful former gymnast. The naysayers couldn't say she was a crap gymnast, she had a gold medal. So they went another route.
It wasn't until 2016-2018 that the cascade of Olympians spoke out.
And then everyone knew it was true.
When the trolls can't address your argument they call you names.
We are seeing this now in real time.
@Riley_Gaines_ spoke about men in women's sports in 2022. "You suck, you were 5th place."
Then Sophie Cunningham spoke in July and she is a grifter MAGA Barbie and bench player (with a firm grip on reality).
Now @SabalenkaA has spoken. She is #1 in the world in women's tennis. What do you have now people?? Seriously? Are you gonna say she sucks too? Is crazy? Is Russian? What??
Let the cascade begin.
We will win.
Because we speak the truth.
"I definitely support the trans community, but I also support the need of creating fairness in sport too."
Translation: I don’t want men in women’s sports but I’m scared to say it outright so I’m kowtowing to the gender people.
Pick a lane Coco.
“Islamaphobic” is a manufactured, imaginary term used to excuse inhuman behavior.
The proper term is “Refuser.”
I refuse to entertain any ideas that rip down the rights of American men and women.
Just a hardline “No.” There is no negotiating, no compromise, just complete and absolute refusal.
The answer is “No, end of discussion.”
Greatest Generation: survived the Great Depression and defeated the Nazis
Boomers: got shipped off to die in Vietnam
Gen X: saw 9/11, fought the Iraq War, and lived through the 2008 financial crisis
Millennials and Gen Z: ate overpriced burritos
Universities do not exist to promote "marginalized voices." They do not exist to promulgate social engineering experiments. They do not exist to engage in social justice activism. A university exists to expand the boundaries of human knowledge, to defend truth, and to create an ecosystem for intellectual enrichment. Once a university optimizes the wrong variables, we end up with the parasitized minds that we now see populating academia, business, politics, journalism, culture, etc. The West in general and the US in particular were founded on a set of key ideals that are unique to human history. Do not presume that these ideals are the default reality. There is always a tsunami of miscreants who are working day and night to end our liberties and freedoms, and destroy these ideals. Be vigilant. Fight for our civilization. Activate your inner honey badger.
You can hold two ideas in your head at the same time.
You can be pro-men and also anti-sexism.
You can be pro-women’s rights and also support trans people.
You can be pro-environment and against alternative energy fraud and waste.
You can have an allegiance to a political party and also be fiercely critical of any of their mismanagement.
You can support freedom of religion, but draw the line when that religion wants to fundamentally change the structure of the US.
You can support people with new ideas, and also tell them when their ideas don’t hold water.
You can also change your mind whenever you feel like it.
When a baby is born at the hospital, they are either a boy or a girl. There are no trans kids. Stop pushing that bullshit on this generation. It's only groomer parents.
The WNBA will never, ever allow a biological male into their league.
The WNBA will also insist that if you think biological males should be banned from girls sports in high school you are a bigot.
And they see no contradiction here.
My MLB CBA Proposal...
• Hard Salary Cap: $250M
• Salary Floor: $150M
Cap Rules...
- Every contract counts at its AAV.
- No deferred-money cap loopholes. Payment timing doesn't matter.
Revenue Sharing...
- Teams below the $150M floor receive 0% revenue sharing until they comply.
Transition...
Existing contracts are honored.
Year 1 Over Cap
- League-minimum free agents only
- No international bonus pool
- Lose 1st-round pick
Year 2
- Same restrictions
- Lose 1st & 2nd-round picks
Year 3
- Same restrictions
- Lose 1st, 2nd & 3rd-round picks
Penalties continue escalating until the club gets under the cap.
Goal: Reward teams that invest, eliminate payroll loopholes, and create long-term competitive balance without forcing immediate fire sales.
