After 11 years as a sportsย columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biologicalย males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.

In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.
I will release it!
Podcastistan wants to talk about apartheid...
Let's talk about how I couldn't visit Bethlehem because the Palestinian Authority couldn't guarantee my security.
That's the only apartheid I saw when visiting Israel.
I toured the Holy Land, walked where my Savior walked. I also visited a few other places, including the Gaza border, and because I'm not a moron, had zero Ro Kanna moments.

I visited the reborn Sa-Nur settlement of a true hero, my dear friend Yossi Dagan, Governor - and Lion - of Samaria, and he told me itโs just the beginning, there are many more to come! ๐
This is why Israel has been prospering and thriving for 77 years.
Israel celebrates life. Israel celebrates love.
The people of Israel will live forever.
I will ALWAYS stand with Jews around the world against the stain of antisemitism. Always.
No amount of bots, Islamofascist threats, or astroturf campaigns will ever change my mind. If youโre trying to bait me into siding with the demon savages, kindly get the f#%^ off my timeline. You wonโt be missed.
Thanks,
Dan
90 million Iranians and 15 million Jews will never forget how Lindsey Graham stood with us.
Never wavered. Never backed down.
A true friend of freedom, Israel, and the Iranian people.
Rest in peace, Senator Graham.
