Washington is one of the bluest states in America. On Nov. 3, its voters passed Initiative 638, 56% to 44%, carrying 36 of 39 counties, to keep biological males out of girls’ K-12 sports.
Six days later, Seattle’s school board voted 7-0 to authorize legal action to stop it, saying it violates state anti-discrimination laws. The next day, the city's self-described democratic socialist mayor, Katie Wilson, backed them. She cited “inclusive learning environments where every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.”
Look at who’s missing from that sentence: girls.
Here’s what the left means by “inclusive” in practice. A boy who identifies as a girl gets the roster spot. A girl loses the race, the podium, and the scholarship.
When voters in a state this blue speak this clearly, and the political class’s first move is to find a way around them, you have to ask who is really defending democracy and who thinks they know better than the voters.
“72% of respondents considered it “inappropriate” for footballers to use their goal celebrations to express religious or political views”
So surely that also means wearing rainbow armbands ect no?
U cant pick and choose lol.
Let me let you in on a little secret
"Obidients" = Nigerians
And the APC knows this well
There is a reason Obi is the only candidate who has a widespread massive following without paying money - It is also the reason the establishment finds him dangerous & focuses only on him
Because,
1- They know the kind of insane landslide numbers they actually saw in 2023 before they rigged it, and
2- They know those numbers represent an outright revolution by the Nigerian people if it isn't curbed because he isn't paying anyone
Listen, man. I know I'm only one person, and people are going to feel the way they feel ultimately about Stephen A. Smith doing this interview. He's going to be a rich, powerful, and wealthy man regardless, but I've made HBCU advocacy and being a part of HBCU media my literal job.
Seeing these lies propagated without any pushback is enraging me.
1) He did not provide a record amount of funding for HBCUs. Both Barack Obama and Joe Biden provided more money to HBCUs.
He did not provide a record level of funding for HBCUs (both Obama and Biden allocated more). Trump's claim relies on the FUTURE Act of 2019, but that law just permanently renewed existing funding that had briefly lapsed—it didn't create a new, record-setting pot of money.
2) HBCUs were not failing before Donald Trump got into office and set aside that money. That's flagrantly false and disrespectful to HBCUs. Yes, HBCUs are under-resourced because many have been underfunded by state and local governments for decades, but HBCUs, as institutions across the nation, were not about to go bankrupt.
Especially given the fact that Trump's administration followed the Barack Obama administration, and then this second one followed record investment by the Biden administration
3) In February 2017, Donald Trump signed an executive order to move the White House Initiative of HBCUs from under the Department of Education to directly under the White House. I know this for a fact because months later, I was a White House HBCU All Star in the 2017-2018 school year (now called White House Scholars).
President Biden did move it back under the Department of Education, but it doesn't really matter what it is under if Trump isn't doing anything remotely meaningful with said initiative (outside of using it as his get-out-of-jail-free card when talking about these supposed things he's done for the Black community).
4) President Joe Biden had a board of advisors for HBCUs that featured Delaware State president Dr. Tony Allen as the leader of that board. They convened regularly. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris also invited HBCU presidents to the White House during this same time.
So saying Democrats didn't do that is patently false, but again, Stephen A. Smith isn't providing pushback.
I know this will be the one tweet that doesn't go viral or get anybody to like or retweet it, and I don't really care because I'm going to say what I have to say.
But I'm going to address this on my show next week. HBCU Pulse Radio. Don't worry about it.
President Trump was listing off so many things he has done for Black Americans that Stephen A. Smith had to stop him because it was taking up too much time. 🤣🤣🤣
This is one of the delegates who accompanied the INEC chairman to Chatham House yesterday, he was seen wearing an APC cap.
Independent commission indeed.
Yes Democrat voters are much more partisan than GOP voters, but it has nothing to do with intelligence, and everything to do with the fact that the Left is infinitely more cultlike than the Right
They went to call backup. I watched over 100 of them coming with weapons. We knew if they got closer, they were going to kill us. So we stood our ground. We advanced. They started retreating.
And the police? Armed security agents saw everything. They watched, yet turned a blind
Yesterday I was attacked for showing up for a new and working Nigeria.
At the NDC meeting in Ikeja, 10-11am, we converged — well-meaning Nigerians waiting for Peter Obi. Then they came.
