So were mine. I know their names and where they’re buried.
However…
Their descendant is free. He has an education. He worked a job making people safe. He bought a house. He has a family. He can read and write. He can walk around wherever he wants. He takes care of himself, his family, and his neighborhood.
My ancestors would be proud of me and the country I live in. They would be proud of the progress that was made. They would be proud of the freedoms we all have today.
You’re mad just for the sake of being mad. I’m happy and free because that’s what I am.
WHAT A DAY! Finally home after traveling to counties, marching in parade & meeting 2 great Xers: @lifeasjosh & @jhpostman!
Now to shower, do some laundry, & sleep. Gotta be back up by 5:00 a.m. for more parades on USA's 250th birthday! LET'S COME TOGETHER & CELEBRATE AMERICA!
🚨 Huge victory!
The Supreme Court has upheld the West Virginia and Idaho laws which ban males from female sports!
“Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are. Sex is an immutable ‘biological’ characteristic … it is binary … and ‘man’ and ‘woman,’ ‘boy’ and ‘girl,’ are the terms that correspond to adults and children of each sex.”
WISCONSIN, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, and JUNETEENTH are inextricably bound & the common denominator is FREEDOM. Read why I will always celebrate on Juneteenth how Wisconsin & the Republican Party were catalysts for the USA becoming a more perfect union.
🚨 Massive news with worldwide repercussions!
The FTC, along with Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, have filed a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), alleging the organization has provided the means for medical providers to make false and unsubstantiated claims to parents in order to sell pediatric medical transition services.
WPATH, an association of clinicians who profit from pediatric medical transition services, recommended medical interventions, including drugs and surgery, for children and adolescents who expressed dissatisfaction with or distress about their sex traits. In their complaint, the FTC and its state partners allege that these recommendations misled parents and children about the medical consensus and medical necessity, as well as the safety and effectiveness, of such services, in violation of the FTC Act.
"Today, the FTC filed a lawsuit against WPATH alleging that the organization made false and unsubstantiated claims regarding the necessity, effectiveness and safety of puberty blockers, hormones and sex-change surgeries," said Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson.
"Children, but especially their parents, must have complete and truthful information when making decisions to purchase medical services. For decades, the FTC has taken action against entities that make deceptive and unsubstantiated health-related claims. The complaint filed today reflects that same long-standing mandate: when an entity makes a claim about a medical treatment, the claim must be truthful, evidence-based and not misleading."
In 2022, WPATH omitted all mention of age limitations for breast amputation or penis removal from the "Standards of Care" document providing the organization's official recommendations for treating sex-trait-related dissatisfaction or distress in children.
As alleged in the complaint, WPATH did not base this decision on medical evidence.
As described in the complaint, in several instances, parents seeking help for their children were asked by clinicians whether they "would rather have a live daughter or a dead son," based on WPATH representations that pediatric medical transition services are "lifesaving." As the complaint argues, there is no competent and reliable scientific evidence to suggest these interventions reduce the risk of suicide.
WPATH claims its recommendations represent "consensus-based expert opinion." This leads WPATH members and other clinicians to repeat to consumers false, misleading or unsubstantiated statements about safety and efficacy found in WPATH guidelines, according to the complaint.
According to the complaint, despite the absence of competent and reliable scientific evidence, WPATH's guidelines label nearly every pediatric transition service as "medically necessary" to maximize the likelihood that insurers will pay for the pediatric transition procedures.
World’s highest IQ record holder just dropped a bombshell on X.
Dr. YoungHoon Kim (IQ 276 — officially recognized by Guinness World Records and Giga Society) declared:
“As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.”
When skeptics pushed back, the 36-year-old South Korean neuroscientist replied with powerful simplicity: “Amen. Christ is my logic.”
He went further: “The Bible doesn’t need to be updated. The world needs to catch up.”
Now with over 14 million views, Dr. Kim is using his platform to lead souls to God — proving that true intelligence doesn’t run from the Cross.
It kneels before it.

I’ve been asking myself lately: why did I start @xx_xyathletics? And why did I position the brand the way I did?
I’ve had plenty of brand savvy people tell me I should have made the brand about “women being badass.” People still do.
Yawn.
Should I have tried something more ambitious, more inventive? Should I have run for office — something I’ve been asked to do many times but always declined? Should I have just accepted my cancellation and ridden quietly off into the sunset??
No. The answer is no to all of it.
It may look like just a dinky athletic brand, but what we’re attempting to do here is significant.
Brands lie. Businesses feign “values” as a marketing strategy. They don’t mean it. They don’t mean any of it.
This is my skill set. I’m not an engineer or a math genius, but I have a feel for culture — and for how content (movies, books, brands) can move it forward.
I wrote “Chalked Up” to expose the systemic abuse in gymnastics. I said it first and I endured endless harassment when I did. But I was right.
I produced “Athlete A” to help drag the Larry Nassar scandal into the light. And we did. And we won an Emmy. And made a difference.
I know how stories and symbols shape what we tolerate — and what we fight against. And for.
There are a gazillion brands out there lying to your face, pretending to “care about women.”
Nike will make billions off female athletes while firing pregnant ones and driving others to contemplate suicide (ask Mary Cain). They’ll slap a “girl power” slogan on it and call it a day.
I will never lie to you.
XX-XY Athletics is putting it all on the line to take a real stand for female athletes and for women and for truth. We are proving we mean it every single day in this fight.
When we get kicked off TikTok, we don’t back down. When we get suspended from Meta, we don’t soften our message or change our principles.
Taking a stand for the protection of women’s sports isn’t the end of the line for us — it’s proof that we will put ourselves on the line, every damn time, for women, for truth, for fairness and for free speech.
When you buy from a brand, you’re not just buying a product. You’re voting.
You’re voting for the company, how it’s run, who runs it, how they show up, how they treat people and how honest they are.
I’m asking for your vote. For us.
We won’t lie to you. Ever.
This is a brand that means what it says. If you believe in protecting women’s sports, in biological reality, in free speech, in truth an an objective reality, in women’s rights, in refusing to bend the knee to corporate hypocrisy — then join us.
Wear the stand. Vote like you mean it.
Black pilot, West Point graduate, and combat veteran Wesley Hunt delivered a masterclass response:
“Hey Jasmine… Black pilot here.
I graduated from West Point. I went through Army flight school. I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache. I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color. Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Suggesting that Black pilots, engineers, doctors, or leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard. I wanted the same standard.”
He ended with a powerful line:
“Merit isn’t racist. Excellence isn’t discriminatory. And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.”
This is the kind of clarity and backbone America needs right now.
Gov. Evers thinks he can ignore the highest court in the land to push an ideological agenda. Well, the law applies to everyone.
Our federal lawsuit will protect the First Amendment and end Wisconsin’s unconstitutional ban on Christian Counselors. More👇👇
Did you hear what The View's Sunny Hostin just said? She called Maine's Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner "a cheater, an antisemite, a liar, a racist, and a homophobe."
Then she paused and said something very telling: “BUT...” the Democrats need "to win that seat in Maine" to stop Trump.
This once again proves that the Left has no moral code and will do anything to seize back power.
Here's something we all need to remember: Everything before you say “but” is what you actually believe. Everything after is what you’re willing to trade it for.
The Left is willing to trade exactly what they’ve been claiming to fight just to regain a little bit of power. All the harping about racism, sexism, and homophobia means nothing if they’ll compromise their beliefs for 'the collective good.'
Hello @AOC, while you smiled in a hijab at a New York event, I was in Federal Court facing the 4th hitman hired by the Islamic Republic to assassinate me, for campaigning for Iranian women to have the same freedom you performed for a photo op. Will you come to court with me in August when I face the 5th hitman? Or does solidarity only work when it doesn't offend the Islamic regime?
You wore hijab voluntarily in New York. Women are killed in Iran for taking it off.
You are the very woman who, at every opportunity, protests against violence against women, decries gender segregation, and champions "inclusion." Yet here you stand, smiling and wearing a hijab, at an event in New York, in the heart of the West, where men and women are strictly separated. To me and millions of Iranian women, this does not look like a choice. It is no longer "My body, my choice," but rather "My body for votes."
They who claim to fight for women's self-determination in the name of feminism voluntarily embrace an ideology that mandates our women cover their hair simply because they are women. They enjoy the prosperity, freedom, and privileges of the Western world, where they may live as autonomous individuals , yet they simultaneously accept that other women should not be afforded the same rights.

The Democrat frontrunner for governor in Wisconsin wants to abolish the police and raise state income taxes to 17% on thousands of small businesses.
These aren’t your grandpa’s Democrats.
THANK YOU TO THE THOUSANDS who came out to remember & honor America's fallen on Memorial Day! @tomtiffanywi & I were pleased to meet so many wonderful #Wisconsinites and grateful for the warm welcome.
I’ve posted this before, but there are a lot more of y’all now, and I think it’s worth repeating.
Imagine a scenario in which large numbers of white people start saying that they “feel black,” and that because of this feeling, and their enjoyment of stereotypically “black behavior,” they are now not just black themselves, but the most marginalized and vulnerable type of black person.
Imagine them insisting that they should be the main focus of all activism meant to help PoC. Imagine them having operations to darken their skin and mimic stereotypically black features. Imagine them walking around in blackface, and saying it’s the exact same thing as actually being black.
Imagine them being honored as black citizens by the White House, being summoned to talk to the President about issues facing the black community, being supported by celebrities, and having laws passed to make white people who identify as black a protected class.
Imagine these people demanding membership in black organizations, insisting that they receive a share of the reparations that CA is about to pay, and demanding they be given awards created specifically to honor black achievement. Then imagine them getting their way.
Now imagine mobs of them showing up to black events that don’t include them, carrying threatening signs and air horns to drown out any speakers with noise. Imagine them coming up with slurs for any black person who doesn’t accept that white people are black if they say they are.
Imagine them calling for the rape, torture, and mass murder of any black person who disagrees with them. Imagine them getting black people doxxed, harassed, assaulted, fired from their jobs, and investigated by the police for saying that you have to be born black to be black.
Now imagine the government supporting their demands.
That’s exactly the position that women are in right now, with a few extras, like being locked in cells with dangerous men, the sexual predation of lesbians via coercion, and the increased risk of sexual assault in what used to be female-only spaces. Our oppressors are now claiming not only the right to oppress us in whole new ways, but the right to erase our identities as women and rewrite the meaning of womanhood in ways that suit - and include - them.
If you wouldn’t support this kind of behavior towards black people, you have no business supporting this kind of behavior towards women.
