“Results show how unreliable peer consensus can b, even when its peer consensus of highly intellectual people, if those people share a very similar vision of the world & treat its conclusions as axioms, rather than hypotheses that need 2 b checked against facts.” ~ Thomas Sowell
I was just on @CBSNews The Takeout with @MajorCBS. I was there to talk about the WNBA - what else.
I was introduced as the head of @xx_xyathletics, "an advocacy organization."
Correction 1: We are an athletic clothing brand. We are not a non-profit. We are a business. A brand. And brands influence the culture. Nike takes all sorts of positions. The difference between us and Nike is we mean what we say. We stand up for women when it is hard. When there is no upside in it for us. Nike takes their supposed stances as a marketing play ("woke capitalism"). And they go the opposite direction when the wind blows that way.
He then said our mission was to "keep trans out of women's sports."
Correction 2: No. Our mission is to stand up for female athletes, not just pretend to like Nike -- a brand that makes money off of "championing" female athletes while treating them with astonishing disregard. (See: Mary Cain, Alyson Felix for examples.)
We don't care if women who identify as trans (think they are men) play in women's sports. We don't care if women who declare a non-binary identity play in women's sports. Women like Nikki Hiltz. Or Layshia Clarendon. They are women. It's all good!
We don't want men in women's sports. Not "trans identified" men. Not DSD men. MEN. No men in women's sports.
80% of Americans agree with us.
This isn't culture war stuff. This is 80% of Americans being normal and 20% living in a misogynistic fantasy land where men can declare themselves women and take our privacy and opportunities away.
Thank you for having me but just needed to correct the record on my intro.
My wife is a nurse. She was pregnant during the pandemic. Her best friend is also nurse and she too was pregnant during the pandemic. She and her husband had been trying for a long time and this was their first.
They were both well into their pregnancies when the hospital that they work for started mandating full time employees get vaccinated. The hospital was pushing the vaccine so hard and the rhetoric was so crazy that they were both worried if it would even deliver their babies if they were not vaccinated. That's how scared they made people.
My wife and I decided immediately that there was no chance she was getting vaccinated while carrying our baby. She was only a couple months from giving birth so she tried to stall. She filed for an exemption, it was denied. She used whatever PTO she had. Then she quit full time and went part time. She made it through and gave birth to our beautiful, healthy, love of my life baby boy, vaccine free.
My wife's friend was just a couple months away from giving birth when she succumbed to the pressure to get vaccinated. She and her husband had already set up their daughter's room. They named her Penelope.
She was full term when she started having stomach pains. She thought she was in labor so she went to the hospital. The doctor told her that her baby was no longer alive. They induced labor and she delivered a dead little girl. Afterwards the doctor told her that a blood clot caused the death of her baby.
When my wife's friend sees our son she still gets emotional because her daughter would have been the same age as him. It breaks our hearts to see her still so heartbroken. What happened during the pandemic was just pure evil.
Small businesses were destroyed. Kids lost years of learning. Doctors who offered alternative therapies lost their medical license.
This wasn't public health. It was the federal government being weaponized by Left-wing groupthink.
All these talking heads can not take the stance they were working off the information they had at the time.

Many, myself included, tried to share info (that was much more convincing) with friends and family that COVID jabs were unnecessary and more risk than reward for most people. Especially healthy folks.
The whole thing was total BS. And I don't care if it takes 50 years... but there needs to be a reckoning.
Anyone who participated in shaming the unvaccinated, or shaming those who faked vaccine cards, can (in my best @elonmusk tone)... "Go fuck themselves."
2021. Terry Bradshaw rails against Aaron Rodgers for not getting vaccinated and for taking ivermectin.
Bradshaw falsely believed that the vaccine prevented people from getting and transmitting Covid. He was wrong.
Instead of being angry that Rodgers "lied" about being vaccinated, Bradshaw should have been angry that the country was lied to about the effectiveness of the vaccine.
Just a few weeks after this clip the CEO of Pfizer admitted that two doses of the vaccine offered virtually no protection against Covid.
RODGERS: “I don’t get to do this show as much as I would like to do.”
[McAfee can’t hold it together]
RODGERS: “So... when I get a chance to get after that GUTLESS organization you have to be connected with.”
MCAFEE: “Whoa! Jeez, Louise!”
CO-HOST: “What, the government?!”
RODGERS: “I just don’t care anymore.”
MCAFEE: “You have a lot of teammates that are vaccinated… heading into the season.”
RODGERS: “A lot of people had probably FAKE vax cards back in the day too.”
McAFEE: “Not me!”
RODGERS: “I remember seeing some of the vax cards. It was like written in CRAYON.”
“I’m like, all right, so we’re going to pass that up, but we [unvaxxed] are going to be second-rate citizens over here. I got to wear a yellow armband. Train in the back. Can’t be around more than three people.”
[Mocking] “‘Oh, you gotta wear a mask when you do your interview. And all of us are gonna be masked up the entire time back here. We’re 20ft away from you. Cause that’s safety first.’”
“What a CROCK OF SH*T we had to go through! Crazy time.”
2013. Obama is asked why his administration is deporting so many people and continuing to separate families.
Obama: I'm the President, not the Emperor. I have to enforce the law even if it is tragic and heartbreaking.
Per the New York Times, Indiana requested that the home-and-home series against Notre Dame in 2030/2031 be cancelled, which lead to Notre Dame being able to renew its rivalry with USC.
The game had long been considered in jeopardy given Indiana's preference to not play Power 4 non-conference games, which is what lead to the request from IU's athletic department.

July 2020. Steps of the Supreme Court. America’s Frontline Doctors stood in white coats and told the American people the truth the regime did not want spoken:
COVID was treatable.
Early treatment worked.
Nobody needed to die.
Lockdowns were never necessary.
We were censored within hours. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube erased the video. Careers were destroyed. Doctors were threatened. Patients were denied the medicine that could have saved them.
They called us dangerous.
They were the danger.
History has already rendered its verdict. We were right. They lied. And the people paid the price in lives, liberty, and lost years.
Watch it. Share it. Bookmark it.
Never let them memory-hole what they did.
The truth was never the threat.
Their power was.
