Let me tell you, then, Jessie, why I’m a TERF.

See, there’s a man in California who’s doing life for a third strike armed robbery. His first two strikes came from kidnapping young women on two known occasions, and forcing them to fellate him.

Mr. Carroll is a 6’2, 250 lb, fully intact man with a beard. He doesn’t take estrogen or wear women’s clothing. He doesn’t use a woman’s name. Nevertheless, the state of CA agrees with Carroll that he is actually a woman, and he was transferred to a CA women’s prison, where he was given a female cellmate.

He impregnated her.

Technically it was rape, because inmates can’t legally consent, but that didn’t stop the prison officials from giving him another female cellmate. Whom he also raped.

When this victim reported him, he counter-accused. She - all of 5’1 and 120 lbs - went to solitary, and he — 6’2 and 250 pounds — got a third female cellmate.

Whom he also raped.

Mr. Carroll is back in the men’s prison he should never have left, and it only cost three women the injury of being raped for the state to figure that out. You claim to care about poor women — do you care about the incarcerated woman impregnated during her prison term? They’ll take her baby when it’s born, too — so the trauma affects a second generation.

This is not an isolated incident. Incarcerated women are incredibly vulnerable to sexual abuse, even when they aren’t knowingly locked in cells with a convicted male sex offender whom guards know raped his last two cellmates. Oh — and to make matters worse, the judge has decreed that the victims must referred to Mr. Carroll as “she.”

You claim to be a feminist, and yet you have turned your back on perhaps the most vulnerable population of women in the Western world. You claim to be a feminist, yet you abandon other women to suffer at the hands of violent men, brushing aside their pain with a quip about toilets and genitals.

Genitals become extremely important when someone is forcing his way into yours.

Ask me how I know.

Let me get this straight. Virginia voters created an independent redistricting commission in 2020 specifically to end partisan gerrymandering. Democrats then bypassed their own commission, rushed a constitutional amendment through while over a million people had already voted, and tried to turn a 6-5 seat advantage into 10-1. Obama backed it. Jeffries campaigned for it multiple times. House Majority PAC spent $38 million on it. The Virginia Supreme Court ruled the process violated the state constitution.

Now Jeffries calls it "unprecedented and undemocratic" when a court enforces the constitution against his party. He calls it "voter suppression" when Democrats are stopped from suppressing five Republican districts into one. And he invokes Jim Crow to describe a ruling that upheld the very redistricting reform Virginia voters chose in 2020.

You did not lose your voice. You lost your gerrymander. There is a difference. And the fact that you cannot tell the difference is exactly why you should not be drawing maps.

Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul?

In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable.

He calls the result “men without chests.”

People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing.

Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear.

Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning.

Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians.

Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.

The average IQ of an Ivy League undergraduate is about 125. The total freshman class size of all the Ivies plus Stanford is about 15,000. Each year, 57,000 Americans are born with IQs over 130. We can fill our elite universities with our own higher-quality students.

Arguments never made about Lance Armstrong:

Is there really an advantage to doping?

He’s only one guy out of millions.

There is a lot going on in the world, why do you care so much about this?

Why didn’t all his competitors refuse to race against him?

He is incredibly vulnerable.

Don’t be mean to him!

You’ve got a huge prejudice against dopers. Get over it!

Cycling doesn’t matter anyway.

You voted for this.

Lots of people support him.

Some cyclists have a better body built for cycling, are you going to ban them too?

There are only ten guys doping.

Why don’t his competitors just quit and start their own league?

Dopers rights are human rights.

Why should I care?

Men have been doping for years and you never noticed.

Blah blah blah genital inspections.

Any more I forgot?

Reading this college applications, essays - it's all pretty ridiculous. 4.5 GPAs. 1580 SAT scores. This club and that club. Volunteer work at the hospital or homeless shelter. Math competition.

What a complete waste of a childhood.

I see this guy every Sunday at the NYC hostage rally. Today I finally asked him his story.

His name is Simon, and he was born in South Sudan. When he was 9 years old, he was kidnapped and spent 3 years as a slave. He’s been living in New York for many years now, and on Oct 7th he said he felt like it was 9/11 again. He comes every single Sunday for the last 17 months to show his support. “ I know that when you ignore evil, it wins. We have to say enough is enough”

Simon recently traveled to Israel with a group of south Sudanese, where they walked from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to show their support. He said he’s proud to be a friend of the Jewish community and of Israel. Thank you, Simon!

ICYMI:

An FBI attorney pled guilty to a felony for doctoring evidence and lying to the FISA court so the FBI could continue to illegally spy on President Trump and his campaign as part of the Russian collusion hoax.

Crossfire Hurricane is the biggest scandal in American history.

DC Obama Judge Jeb Boasberg, who served on the FISA court, ignored the sentencing recommendation of imprisonment and gave FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith probation.

This is when Jeb Boasberg destroyed his credibility.

Don’t let Jeb Boasberg fool anyone that he is somehow the guardian of the court’s integrity.

Jeb Boasberg is the Democrats’ court jester.

Boasberg The Clown.

Giant male in a MA school injured 3 girls during a girls basketball match. They ended the game early before he can hurt more girls and had to forfeit the game due to injuries.

Every single Democrat Senator just voted against keeping men out of women’s sports.

Democrats don’t care about your daughters’ safety.

John, the fully grown 6’4, 22 year old man in Pennsylvania that undressed in my locker room EIGHTEEN times per WEEK was not a “schoolchild”

He was a predator.

And no woman should ever experience this. Not even once.

or in other words, the government of Maine is so dedicated to putting male feelings above safety, fairness, and the law that they are willing to let their citizens go without medical care to ensure that two boys continue stealing medals and scholarship opportunities from girls.

Biden Justice Department tells court an acceptance of pardon is “a confession of guilt.”

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Biden is leaving office dropping one lawless, norm-defying, justly impeachable un-democratic transgression after another. That’d be bad enough. But these are all precedents for the successor he thinks is a threat to democracy. It’s reckless, spiteful, and incandescently stupid.
