Remember this name: Drew Jones. I have a feeling we will be hearing this name very soon and that’s not a good thing. Let’s discuss it.
The democratic socialists are talking again. The question I have is anyone going to listen to what they are saying.
And California has decided to toss out the First Amendment of the Constitution
There’s More to Come
This is from Matt Van Swol on X:
Outrage is erupting in Charlotte NC after a man who planned MASS SH00TINGS at FIVE Charlotte NC schools was JUST LET OUT OF JAIL…
…just FOUR DAYS before those schools open for the year.
Read that again.
His name is Drew Owens, he’s 31 and he’s been arrested 6 times in Charlotte NC alone.
Back in February 2025, police say he sent threats to five CMS schools, Hawk Ridge Elementary, Community House Middle, Ardrey Kell and West Charlotte High, and Garinger High. Investigators say he laid out actual mass sh00ting plans for them.
He was charged with five felony counts of threatening mass violence on school property.
On Friday night, he posted bond and by Saturday morning, he walked out.
Charlotte school kids go back to class on TUESDAY.
One mom said it was her number one fear: “If he gets out, when will he get out, and will we know?”
Well, he’s out, and it gets worse.
His OWN FATHER went to police.
He said his son had been harassing family, neighbors, and friends.
Sending threatening letters. Sitting outside their homes. His father even said Owens went to West Charlotte High and photographed his car, police believe to try to lure him out.
His own father took out a restraining order against him.
One neighbor said she is “constantly in fear for my life.”
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!!!!!!
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Charlotte NC after a man who planned MASS SH00TINGS at FIVE Charlotte NC schools was JUST LET OUT OF JAIL…

Members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are calling for major political change within the Democratic Party and the US, with some calling for a “violent” revolution.
A compilation of footage posted by the Canary Mission on X showed comments from DSA members, candidates endorsed by the organization, and far-left commentators discussing the future of the Democratic Party. Among those featured was DSA activist and streamer Michael Beyer, who said during a panel discussion that “The Democratic Party establishment that we have has to be ripped out.”
DSA members say they plan to take over America with a revolution
The DSA has gained increased prominence within the Democratic Party following a series of electoral victories by candidates backed by the organization, particularly the election of DSA-backed candidate Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City. A number of DSA-backed candidates have since won in a number of primary elections, particularly in Democratic-led cities.
The organization supports a range of radical beliefs that would dramatically change the landscape of the US. Among its stated positions are abolishing the US Senate, abolishing ICE, abolishing borders entirely, abolishing prisons, and defunding the Pentagon, among others.
Let’s discuss those changes:
Green New Deal.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Establish a 32 hour work week.
Defund Israel.
Free housing for all.
Universal health care.
End property rights.
Free college education.
Abortion for all.
Abolish the police and prison system.
Defund the Department of War.
Abolish ICE.
End all sanctions on our enemies.
Allow non-citizens and felons to vote.
Abolish the Supreme Court, the Presidency, and the Senate.
Abolish the Electoral College.
Expand the House of Representatives and abolish the two-party system.
Nationalize corporations.
Create a wealth tax.
Basically, destroy the Constitution and the country.
Gavin Newsom has been slammed for signing a controversial privacy law that critics have branded the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” — setting the stage for a potential First Amendment fight.
The law, introduced by Democratic Assemblymember Mia Bonta, expands the state’s address-protection program to immigration-service workers.
Supporters say it protects workers from threats and doxing, while critics argue it could hinder journalists and investigators from doing their job.
The nickname refers to Nick Shirley, a conservative citizen journalist who has gained attention for videos investigating government-funded programs and confronting workers at various facilities.
Republians across California tore into Newsom for signing it into law Saturday, saying they want the federal government to intervene before it takes effect.
California Republicans have portrayed the law as evidence that Sacramento is attempting to make government harder to scrutinize.
Under the legislation, the expanded protections are scheduled to take effect Oct. 1, 2027. Until then, the fight is likely to continue far beyond Sacramento.
A disturbing trend is infecting the country. All because we are too lazy to do what needs to be done.
To solve the problem of the highest gas prices in the country, California has decided to raise tire prices. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.
And countries in Europe are doing everything they can to bring themselves back to the Dark Ages.
I Find This Disturbing
PwC reported that, as of May 2026, 21% of U.S. households included a current GLP‑1 user. That is roughly 1 in 5 households, up from 9% in January 2025.pwc
What it means
This is a household-penetration estimate, not a claim that 1 in 5 Americans personally take one. A household with one person using a GLP‑1 medication—such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound—counts once, regardless of household size.
A separate nationally representative KFF poll found 12% of U.S. adults said they were currently taking a GLP‑1 drug in late 2025, while 18% said they had taken one at some point.kff

The rules are a “scam” that will actually increase costs more, Pratt claimed in a post on X.
The California Energy Commission unanimously approved new rules Monday that will phase out the sale of replacement tires that don’t meet the state’s energy-efficiency standards — potentially wiping out 70% of the tires currently available to California drivers.
The rules target a tire’s “rolling resistance,” or how much energy it takes to keep a tire moving down the road. Lower resistance means cars use less gas or electricity from better mileage, which Democrats claimed will help affordability.
“Look at the gas prices everyone’s experiencing,” Commissioner Nancy Skinner told KCRA. “If we can bring each Californian’s gas cost down just a little bit, then why wouldn’t we?”
Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom even trumpeted estimates that the new rules would save drivers $1 billion a year, with his office declaring that “MAGA hates to see it.”
But that was contradicted by estimates from Goodyear’s Bret Gladfelty, who claimed that actual price increases for tires could reach several hundred dollars by the 2030s as the industry scrambles to replace the 70% of tires wiped out by the regulations. .
According to the Tire Industry Association, average tire prices could increase from $81 to up to $157. If someone purchased four new tires for his car, the difference could exceed $300 per vehicle.
Pratt and others noted that the state has not done anything to address the underlying causes of high gas prices, such as the state’s taxes and environmental regulations demanding certain blends of gasolines.
“A longtime Democrat politician who made gas prices the highest in the nation complains about said high gas price and uses it as justification to raise the cost of your tires,” Congressman James Gallagher (R-Calif.) “You can’t make this up!”
Skinner was a past Democratic state senator known for writing pro-environment bills, Gallagher noted.
The article points out:
Critics said that the new rules ironically may make electric vehicles — a priority for Newsom’s environmental agenda — less affordable. EVs go through tires more regularly because they are often heavier.
Later in the article:
It’s not just costs; some critics worry whether the less resistant tires could mean more danger on the roads.
Lower resistance on tires can decrease the tire wear life and lessen grip, especially for stopping and starting on wet surfaces, car experts said. The commission did relax requirements for tires with increased “wet grip,” or traction in the rain.
Environmentalists and clean air advocates supported the new regulations for the aim of lower emissions from the tires’ better mileage.
More than 16,000 people died in a single week during Europe’s heatwave in late June — and in at least one area, the daily death toll spiked above the highs of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an analysis of mortality data.
In Wallonia, in southern Belgium, 313 deaths were recorded in just one day, June 28, compared to 245 daily deaths at the peak of COVID in November 2020, the New York Times found.
As temperatures soared to over 100 degrees, Wallonia recorded a death rate 77% higher than expected between mid-June and early July, leaving some hospitals overrun.
Despite the horrific toll, local leaders are still resisting installing air conditioning. Just 20% of European homes have the common technology — compared to 90% in the US.
“Air-conditioning can be appropriate in specific situations, particularly for vulnerable people or certain buildings,” said a spokesperson for Wallonia’s housing and energy minister, adding that their “long-term strategy is not based on its widespread use.”
Sniffy Belgians also do not “want to be Americans,” Belgian doctor Toon Ceyssens told the Times.
Half of all emergency rooms in Wallonia’s hospitals have no air conditioning, according to Dr. Philippe Devos, director general of a health care provider federation.
In the region’s overcrowded health centers, calls to emergency operators often took 10 minutes to get through, and many sick people were lined up in the hallways to allow privacy for the dead, the Times reported.
The number of households with AC, which is lower than most other developed economies, drops to between 4-6% in France, Germany, and the UK, which have all seen blistering heatwaves this summer.
Belgian officials continue to hesitate over introducing AC, warning it could overwhelm the power grid and heat up cities by pumping out hot air into the streets.
Authorities are instead looking at introducing more so-called cooling spaces and instituting policies to encourage housing renovation.
A 26-year-old man from Ghana has been arrested multiple times in the past two weeks for alleged sexual assaults, according to news reports out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. One of the alleged sexual assaults was witnessed by local firefighters who notified police about the attack in a park.
News reports and jail records identify the man as Jeff Kufi (Kofi) Asare, a 26-year-old born in Accra, Ghana, in October 1999. Police arrested Asare on Thursday after he allegedly sexually assaulted a woman on Lake Hefner Trail. Local firefighters witnessed the alleged assault and waited for police to make the arrest, KOCO ABC5 reported.
On Aug. 1, near Northwest 23rd Street and Classen Boulevard, police responded to a possible rape. Asare allegedly pushed a woman against a bus stop window and put his hands down her pants.
Another woman told police that Asare came up behind her while she was walking on Classen Boulevard, pulled her pants down, and fled after she pushed him away. He was arrested for sexual battery and indecent exposure.
Five days later, near Scissortail Park, Asare allegedly walked up behind a woman, grabbed her buttocks multiple times, and began digging in his pants. When the woman asked him to leave, he walked away. Police later spotted him and arrested him for sexual battery.
Six days after that, on Wednesday, Asare allegedly approached a woman from behind on the Lake Hefner Trail, pulled her down, and attempted to rape her. Firefighters intervened and called police.
A $75,000 bond has been set by a local district court judge on a charge of First Degree Rape, according to jail records obtained by Breitbart Texas.
The District Attorney’s Office reported that it is seeking to increase the bond due to an alleged series of crimes over a short period of time, KOCO reported.
Court records obtained by Breitbart Texas show at least 19 criminal felony and misdemeanor charges were filed against Asare, beginning in August 2023.
Some things:
Why is this guy still in the country?
Second, who the hell allowed this guy in the country in the first place?
A trans-identified male serving a 27-year sentence for the incestuous rape of his young sister is suing the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Corrections in an attempt to overturn a state ban on using taxpayer funding to provide transsexual medical procedures to convicted criminals – and, presumably, to ultimately secure a transfer to a female prison. Wayne Allison, 43, has adopted the name “Astrid,” and his case is receiving the support of theAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
In December 2013, Allison, of Bloomington, Indiana, was charged with five counts of child molestation and one count of incest. Allison, who was 30-years-old at the time, preyed upon his younger sister, who was 11-years-old. According to an affidavit provided to Reduxx by the Monroe Court, Allison raped his sister both vaginally and anally on several occasions during the period between July and November 2013.
In addition to repeatedly raping the girl, he groomed her by showing her pornography.
Now, Allison has begun calling himself “Astrid” and has recently secured the legal representation of the ACLU of Indiana in a lawsuit against the state’s Department of Corrections (DOC).
How about just “no.” You have no rights when arrested and we have no right to believe in your delusions.
Chris Watts, who is serving multiple life sentences for murdering his pregnant wife and two daughters, is reportedly planning to marry a 39-year-old Wisconsin realtor who has been regularly visiting him in prison.
Lizzie Henderson has confirmed she is in a relationship with Watts, who is incarcerated at Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin. Relatives told the Daily Mail that the couple has applied to marry through the prison system, while sealed court records show Henderson filed an application to legally change her name in September 2025.
Henderson has also relocated from Ohio to Wisconsin with her mother and has been a frequent visitor to the prison. Prison records obtained by the Daily Mail show she visited Watts 20 times last year and spent Christmas Day with him in 2024. During a visit in August 2025, witness Lisa Johnson told the Daily Mail that she saw Henderson and Watts kissing as their visit ended.
Watts was sentenced to five consecutive life sentences without parole after pleading guilty to killing his wife, Shanann Watts, who was 15 weeks pregnant, and their daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3, in Colorado in August 2018. Prosecutors said Watts killed Shanann by strangulation before killing their daughters and disposing of their bodies at an oil site where he worked.
Some things:
This is just sick.
This man murdered his family and shoved his daughters into a pipe. He did this because he was having an affair and didn’t want to deal with his family.
This man is pure evil.
This is not a condemnation of our current society. This is actually a real psychological condition.
Hybristophilia: a romantic or sexual attraction to people who have committed crimes.
Democrat nominee Angie Nixon: We had nearly 800,000 black people lose their jobs under Donald Trump, and that's because of these anti-DEI policies. Anti-DEI policies are basically allowing companies to discriminate against us. pic.twitter.com/eYVlXLsJ1p
So, 800,000 blacks were unqualified for their jobs. That would be the only reason they were let go.
It also means 800,000 white and Asian people were discriminated against because a black person needed to be picked for the job.
I don’t believe this statement. It’s flat out not that easy to fire someone. Maybe we should discuss cause a little.
This is a lot like saying the justice system is racist because 54% of the violent crimes are committed by black people. No one ever discusses whether black people in prison are actually innocent.
The trial of a woman who killed her children is moving forward. This is a trial a lot of people are watching and for good reason.
The socialists are pulling out an old card when it comes to crime, but reality always has a way of winning.
And let’s talk about flock cameras. I never gave a damn about them before, but the controversy just keeps rearing its ugly head.
The Needs to End
Lindsay Clancy, a former labor-and-delivery nurse from Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial for the January 24, 2023 killings of her three children — Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months — who were found strangled with exercise bands at the family’s home. After the killings, Clancy slashed her wrists and neck and jumped from a second-story window in a suicide attempt, which left her paralyzed from the waist down. She’s now 35-36 and has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder (CNN; PBS NewsHour).�
The legal question Clancy doesn’t dispute that she killed her children. The trial instead centers on an insanity-style defense under Massachusetts law: whether she was criminally responsible at the time. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, argues she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and undiagnosed bipolar disorder, worsened by problematic medication management, and that she heard a voice telling her to kill the children and herself (Boston.com; Boston Globe). Prosecutors (Plymouth DA’s office, ADAs Jennifer Sprague and Shannon Buckingham) argue she “acted intentionally, rationally and swiftly,” and that while she had mental health struggles, she was not in “the throes of psychosis” (CNN; CNN).�
Under Massachusetts law, prosecutors bear the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy could appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions. If they fail, the jury must acquit — but an acquittal by reason of lack of criminal responsibility wouldn’t free her; she’d instead go to a state psychiatric hospital with periodic reviews. A conviction carries a mandatory life sentence without parole.
Some things:
We need to get rid of the “Not guilty by reason of insanity” thing.
She’s guilty.
She admits doing it.
There’s no innocence here.
She was planning this for a couple of weeks before the murder.
She sent her husband away before the murder.
What is going to make her safer to be around if she gets out?
What about the kids? What about justice for them?
This is called “family elimination” and more common with men.
State Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher, who describes herself as a “neighborhood organizer” and “democratic socialist,” made her comments on Thursday outside Manhattan Criminal Court, the New York Postreported Saturday.
She was joined by members of Court Watch NYC, which claimed they monitored hundreds of arraignments for several days and found half of those cases were misdemeanors.
Gallagher said she is fighting to “pass things like treatment not jail and that we hold the line on the incredible criminal justice reforms that we have done over the last 10 and 20 years that are constantly being threatened by right-wing media who are looking to fear monger about people who are actually just in absolute dire straits.”

I’m so sick of the Left changing history to make America look bad.
Everything he points out is just wrong:
Most of the slaves from the transatlantic slave trade went to South America (Brazil) and the Caribbean (Haiti and Cuba). The United States only took in 5% of the African slaves.
The Native Americans were fighting a war with us. They lost.
The Native Americans DID NOT build this country.
The “oppression” of other people is not something the United States did.
He will never talk about the oppression of Islam.
He’ll never mention that most converts to Islam were conquered and did not convert voluntarily.
He’s never talk about the Barbary Slave Trade where Islamists from North Africa went into Europe and enslave white people.
Believe it or not, the slave trade in North Africa was worse and lasted longer than slavery in the United States.
And what does any of this have to do with football?
Let’s face it, this guy hates every aspect of America.
This Is What Happens When Crime Isn’t Punished
Lashawa Doyle
Here’s a list of news networks who have NOT covered the viral attacks on women in Charlotte NC:
– NYTimes – CNN – Washington Post – MSNBC – NPR – USA Today – Reuters – Axios – ABC News
Every single one of them wrote stories on George Floyd…
Well, for what we can understand because he can’t speak English.
We know he’s a racist.
He says these gals probably didn’t do anything, but maybe they or someone they know did.
Doyle is an equal opportunity criminal. He doesn’t care who he beats.
Of course, this moron want Doyle to go to prison because Doyle would beat his ass too.
Conclusion:
This is another example of a two-tiered justice system.
If Doyle was white, would he be released 22 times for the same crimes?
I think it is a little worse. I think the Justice System is broken. And it’s been coming.
The rights of the criminal is more important than the rights of the victim. Especially if the victim was murdered.
It has been heading in this direction for a very long time. We bitched about this decades ago where the justice systems is about rehabilitation and not about punishment.
The disgraced Westchester County police official charged with driving her gangbanging son to a shooting is a sorority sister of the mayor who gave her the cushy gig.
Mount Vernon Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard hired Jennifer Lackard to head up the newly created police department Wellness Unit in 2020, despite her having no law enforcement experience, an ex-con husband and an out-of-control son in a street gang.
City officials confirmed Thursday that the mayor and the disgraced police bigwig were sorority sisters, with sources telling The Post they were both sworn to Delta Sigma Theta.
They attended different schools however, with Lackard having studied the University of Michigan as an undergraduate and Cornell University for a master’s in labor and industrial relations while Patterson-Howard having attended Howard University and John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
The two also attend Grace Baptist Church, an influential congregation in the troubled suburban city, and sources said the church’s politically connected pastor, the Rev. Franklyn Richardson, may have pulled some strings to help Lackard land the lucrative job.
It is also unclear if Lackard, 49, was the only candidate considered for the $125,000 Mount Vernon police department position, and if Patterson-Howard’s reported friendship played a role in the selection.
The mayor’s office declined to address those questions, and maintained that Patterson-Howard didn’t even know the controversial cop until she was hired — and said the two aren’t even friends.
In a statement Wednesday, the mayor said Lackard was hired because of her 15-year career in mental health and substance abuse services, which fit the new unit’s task.
She said Lackard underwent a “rigorous background check,” and that her husband’s drug conviction did not disqualify her for the position.
City officials said the Wellness Unit was created to help cops address volatile situations involving emotionally unstable and intoxicated individuals they encounter in they day-to-day jobs.
A Christian, family-owned Korean spa is asking the US Supreme Court to intervene after Washington state sought to force the women-only business to admit biological males who identify as women into facilities where customers, including minors, are fully nude.
Attorneys with the Pacific Justice Institute and Alliance Defending Freedom filed a petition Monday asking the court to hear Olympus Spa v. Armstrong.
Olympus Spa, which operates locations in Lynnwood and Tacoma, offers traditional Korean jjimjilbang services, including communal steam rooms, soaking pools, and full-body scrubs performed in open areas where patrons are nude. The Christian owners have maintained a female-only policy based on both the nature of the services and their religious beliefs.
The battle began after Haven Wilvich, a biological male who identifies as a woman, filed a complaint with the Washington State Human Rights Commission in 2020 after being denied access. Wilvich still had male genitalia at the time.
The commission found the spa’s policy violated Washington’s anti-discrimination law, triggering a years-long constitutional battle.
The Ninth Circuit ultimately sided with the state in a 2-1 decision in 2025. In March, the court denied requests for panel and en banc rehearing, clearing the way for the spa’s appeal to the Supreme Court.
The case has also produced controversy from the bench. During oral arguments, Ninth Circuit Judge Margaret McKeown compared arguments defending the spa’s women-only policy to historical “whites-only” segregation laws.
“It is an abuse and perversion of the public accommodation laws to give biological males access to the intimate spaces of unconsenting females in a state of full or partial undress,” PJI Chief Counsel Kevin Snider said Monday.
Attorneys for Olympus Spa argue Washington’s enforcement violates the First Amendment and forces the Korean immigrant family to choose between its livelihood and deeply held religious beliefs.
The Supreme Court must now decide whether or not to take the case.
Zohran Mamdani, though not terribly popular, has received a “thank you” message from an unlikely source.
A city in California has been using tax money to…raise taxes. I’m not kidding.
And the co-chair for the Democratic Socialists of America proves that the Democratic socialists have no idea what they are doing.
A Special Thanks
According to the Post Millennial:
In a decided shot at DSA-backed New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Florida Chamber of Commerce has officially launched a Times Square campaign dubbing the socialist mayor as Florida’s Economic Developer of the Year through a massive billboard at the corner of Broadway and West 43rd Street in Manhattan.
“We wanted to thank him for the jobs, the companies, the people that they’re pushing out of New York — and a lot of them are coming to Florida,” Chamber CEO Mark Wilson first told Fox News.
“America is at a crossroads right now. I think everyone that’s paying attention knows that our country was built on freedom and free enterprise and people having the liberty to make their dreams come true,” he said. “And there’s a push in our country right now to take those liberties away and to attack free enterprise. And that’s never worked anywhere, and it won’t work in America.”
“What Mayor Mamdani is doing is dangerous for the country, right? It’s bad for New Yorkers. It’s bad for New York. It’s very harmful for the country,” Wilson continued. “We can choose free enterprise, which is what America was built on, or we can choose to destroy that, which is what the social[ist] policies do… And so, what we’re hoping happens from this campaign is that we refocus America on free enterprise.”
Wilson insisted that the campaign is meant to encourage the free exchange of capital rather than to tear New York down. He said he wanted every state to thrive.
“Even though Florida is winning right now, we’re not looking for New York to lose,” he said. “We’re hoping that these other states will say ‘no’ to this move towards socialism and say ‘yes’ to the very policies that our country was founded on,” he said. “This isn’t about spiking a football or looking at the scoreboard about Florida versus New York. This is really about trying to save our country from crazy.”
Spending taxpayer money to convince taxpayers to pay more taxes — it’s a California specialty.
But it seems Nevada County went too far, as the state’s political watchdogs found the Lake Tahoe-area jurisdiction spent more than $34,000 in taxpayer money trying to convince residents to raise their own taxes — and now that failed campaign is poised to cost county taxpayers another $31,500.
California’s Fair Political Practices Commission is scheduled to vote Aug. 20 on a proposed settlement stemming from Nevada County’s promotion of Measure V, a 2022 ballot measure that would have raised the county sales tax by half a percentage point for 10 years.
Measure V was pitched as a way to generate roughly $12 million annually for wildfire prevention, emergency services and disaster preparedness. But voters weren’t convinced.
The measure received just 48.41% of the vote and failed — despite Nevada County spending $34,614 in public funds on two mailers that state regulators determined crossed the line from informing residents into political advocacy.
The first mailer landed in the mailboxes of 33,351 residents in October 2022 at a cost of $17,708 and touted Measure V as “responsive to community priorities,” including preventing wildfires, improving evacuation routes, enhancing emergency communications and helping low-income seniors and people with disabilities.
But regulators found the county buried the less attractive part — the half-percent sales-tax hike — in the smallest font, while emphasizing the measure’s benefits.
This is the way, for anyone in politics. Make them fully explain their positions, the way in which they will implement it, and the reason why they have the position to being with (i.e. what specific problem is this solving). https://t.co/7XA7nYPpH4
I know I said I would keep this podcast about the uncommon new stories. The ones no one is talking about but we should pay attention to. Well, sometimes there are publicized stories that are just way too stupid to ignore. Let’s go over a bunch of them.
She’s Their Candidate?
According to the Post Millennial:
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez revealed on Saturday that she has decided to freeze her eggs, sharing the decision publicly in a post on Instagram and accusing the Trump administration of “punishing” women on the issue of pregnancy.
“And as women in general, we are not taught about our bodies, we are not prepared for our own lives, whether that is in puberty, whether that is in pregnancy, whether that is in perimenopause, menopause, whether that is in so many different aspects of our lives.”
What is she talking about?
“In the political context that we’re in, in an administration that is dedicated to politicizing women’s bodies and taking our choices away from us and punishing us around decisions to be pregnant or not be pregnant — and, frankly, this administration has made pregnancy more dangerous than probably at any point in the last 30 plus years — we’re gonna take our power back.”
The only ones politicizing women’s bodies is the Left. No one on the Right is preventing her from getting pregnant the natural way.
The congresswoman framed her decision within the debate over abortion, criticizing the current administration and saying women are currently in a “dangerous” position.
She also argued that women in politics face questions about their age and plans to have children in ways men do not.
God, she’s dumb. She freezing her eggs to have a baby when her body will not allow her to have a baby because of abortion rights. Wouldn’t make more sense if she got pregnant and shouted her abortion or something?
“This is just not something that men deal with. Men run for office, or frankly, they interview for jobs and people don’t think in the back of their mind, ‘OK this guy’s running for office, how old is he? Oh, well is he gonna wanna start a family?’ This is a choice I am making to feel more in control of my life.”
Well, people don’t ask men why they don’t have babies because men can’t have babies. And J.D. Vance just had another child with his wife. That was talked about.
AOC tells people “Don’t be weird about this” as she injects herself with medication and says she is freezing her eggs. pic.twitter.com/bPHG4RMN53
There is no reason she should do this. She’s young enough and, supposedly, has a finace.
She says that she may have kids 10 years from now. That would make her almost 50. What kind of life is that for a kid to have two senior citizens as kids?
During the video, she says “Don’t be weird about this.” Is she kidding me? She’s injecting herself on video and sharing it. She’s the weird one.
She looks crazy.
She looks dumb.
She looks fat.
She’s running for President. That’s why she’s promising not to get pregnant for 10 years.
He played in the NBA for 11 years averaging 10 points and 8 rebounds per game. He was a good player.
He quit the NBA for political reasons.
He will dominate the WNBA,
The more entertaining WNBA prospect is Royce White. He has also put his hat into the draft next year. He decided to wear a wig because he discovered his inner femininity.
He played in the NBA for 6 years and was the 16th overall pick in 2012.
He never played much in the NBA but averaged 14 point per game and 9 rebounds per game.
He is for the Senate as a Republican in 2024.
But he is really enjoying this. He has been making the podcast circuit wearing a wig and making the WNBA’s stance look stupid.
Here he is, saying his fear of flying was there because his inner woman was trying to be free.
Former NBA player Royce White who said he is declaring for the WNBA,
“I realized my fear of flying really wasn't a fear of flying. It was the transgender trapped inside of me, caged inside of me…” pic.twitter.com/cUoIseievl
Well, the WNBA is really worried about this. They decided to have an emergency meeting next week to discuss the criteria involved when joining the league.
According to the Post Millennial:
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has called for the league to hold discussions about transgender-identifying athletes competing in women’s basketball following ongoing controversy and the recent announcement of two former NBA players seeking WNBA draft eligibility.
Englebert sent a memo to WNBA teams on Friday to address the issue, according to ESPN.
“I know many of you have received questions in recent weeks regarding transgender athlete participation in women’s basketball, and I expect this topic will continue to receive significant attention,” the memo said. “I wanted to reach out to share how we are approaching these conversations at the league office and to thank those of you who have responded to questions from the media with thoughtfulness and professionalism.”
Engelbert said the issue will also be discussed next week at a previously scheduled meeting that includes team presidents and general managers.
“We recognize that this is a complex and nuanced topic, and we will continue to have important conversations with all of you and the Players Association in the weeks and months ahead,” Engelbert added in the memo. “We also plan to convene additional discussions and offer listening sessions for any team leaders who would like to participate. Your perspectives and feedback are invaluable, and I appreciate those who have already reached out to share their thoughts.”
The debate over transgender athletes within the WNBA community erupted after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham publicly supported prohibiting biological males from competing in women’s sports. Her comments prompted protests and criticism, including from some team executives and coaches across the league who opposed her position.
The controversy escalated further after former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White announced that they intended to declare for the WNBA Draft while identifying as women. The announcements were widely interpreted as intentionally provocative efforts to draw attention to the WNBA’s eligibility rules, which lack a clear definition of who qualifies as a woman and could include biological men who claim to be women.
On Friday, the Women’s National Basketball Players Association released a statement emphasizing its commitment to “justice equity, diversity, and inclusion.”
Why do we need to keep talking about this? Well, our last story will give you the answer.
It Ain’t Over
According to Reduxx:
A trans-identified male racking up wins in girls’ sports in California has been identified as the brother of a prominent US Olympian. Jaylin Liu is the brother of gold medal-winning figure skater Alysa Liu.
Jaylin appears to have previously gone by the name “Joshua,” and appears to have begun identifying as female relatively recently. Some news articles on his sister’s Olympic successes still refer to him by his birth name, while other profiles have been quietly updated to reflect his new name.
Since the 2025 outdoor athletic season, Jaylin has been participating in girls’ sports on teams at both Albany High School and El Cerrito High School in California.
At Albany, Jaylin took eight separate first-places spots at seasonal meets and races in 2025. He seized a silver medal at the NCS Bayshore Championship in the 400-meter race, and a gold in the 2025 Tri-County Athletic League Frosh-Soph Championship 200-meter race.
This year, Jaylin has continued to outperform his female competitors, and has taken first place at every 200- and 400-meter girls race he’s participated in for Albany. This includes a first place finish at the Tri-County Athletic League Finals that were held on May 8.
He is currently ranked the best “female” runner on his team in the 200- and 400-meter race, and the best “female” runner in the Tri-County Athletic League in the quarter-mile.
Jaylin was one of five children born to surrogates, though he had a different egg donor than his Olympian sister Alysa. The children’s father, Arthur Liu, has said that he explicitly sought out white egg donors for his children.
Arthur was briefly married to a much older woman named Qing Xin Yan, who also goes by the name Mary. While she was the legal guardian for Arthur’s children and helped raise them when they were young, she is not biologically related to any of them.
French transgender basketball player Julie Tetart wouldn’t turn down an offer to play in the WNBA amid debates on the participation of trans athletes in women’s sports.
The 34-year-old Tetart, who came out as trans in October 2021, plays in Monaco.
“If they contact me, I won’t say no. But you have to be realistic: I’m old, and there are far better players than me!” Tetart told OutKick over Instagram direct messages on Monday.
In the 2025-26 season, Tetart led France’s second-tier Ligue 2 in both scoring and rebounding — en route to Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Domestic Player of the Year accolades.
Tetart averaged 21.2 points, 20.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

A Brazilian influencer has been handed a two-year prison sentence after using male pronouns to refer to a transgender politician. Bianca Barreto received her sentence from the 9th Criminal Court of Salvador on July 29, after she was found guilty of the “intentional and pejorative use of the gender opposite… [to a] self-declared identity.”
The sentence follows a lengthy case stemming from a 2024 video posted to social media by Barreto. In the video, she criticized Duda Salabert, a member of Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies. Salabert is a member of the left-wing Socialism and Liberty Party, and was one of the first openly trans-identified people to be elected to the Chamber, serving since 2022.
Barreto’s video described an earlier case involving Salabert and conservative parliamentarian Nikolas Ferreira. Ferreira, another member of the Chamber of Deputies, stood in the same election as Salabert in 2020 to be a local councillor for the city of Belo Horizonte. At the time, Salabert was the first trans-identified person to run for office to the city council.
“He is a man. That’s what’s on his birth certificate, regardless of what he thinks,” he said, while in another interview saying he wasn’t worried about being sued by Salabert for his remarks. “It’s biology. I’m not saying something I think. He is a man. And it’s important to make it clear that there is no criminalization related to biology,” he added.
However, Salabert did file a criminal complaint against Ferreira, referencing the fact that Brazil’s Supreme Court had classified transphobia and homophobia as crimes of “social racism” since 2019. The case was later dismissed on procedural grounds, but in a separate civil action, Ferreira was forced to pay R$80,000 in 2023, equivalent to around $15,500 USD, reduced on appeal to R$30,000.
Zohran Mamdani’s city-run grocery stores are racist and sexist.
That’s great! They replaced the perverted Nazi in main with a guy who likes incest.
And we have another example of the mental health crisis within the trans cult.
What a Hypocrite
According to the Daily Wire:
As New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveils his new city-run grocery stores, his administration is taking steps to prevent some shoppers from taking advantage of the program — by requiring identification.
“So our RFP [Request for Proposal] makes it very clear that this is a program for New Yorkers to be able to put food on the table, not a program for people to be able to make a quick buck through reselling,” said Mamdani, answering a question on how his administration would safeguard the grocery stores.
Jeanny Pak, the interim president and CEO of the NYC Economic Development Corporation, revealed that the mayor’s office would be issuing a form of identification for New Yorkers to be able to shop in the government stores.
“We are looking to make sure that we target New Yorkers whether it be a sort of library card-esque thing and also we manage who’s buying and that it is focused on everyday New Yorkers,” Pak said.
According to proposals, the government grocery store operators will create free access cards that will help ensure that New Yorkers are not abusing the program. Shoppers without a card would not be prohibited from entering the store, but they would not be allowed to make any purchases without the ID.
Zohran Mamdani's communist grocery stores will require ID to prove that people using it are NYC residents.
Conservatives lit up on Thursday night in response to a report claiming that Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson, who recently replaced disgraced candidate Graham Platner on the ballot, fathered two children with his second cousin and high school sweetheart.
The report, from Maine Wire editor-in-chief Steve Robinson, found that Jackson shares two adult sons with a woman named Lana Pelletier, his second cousin with whom he shares the same great-grandparents.
The report pointed out that the relationship is not uncommon in northern rural Maine, where Jackson is from, and that it is not illegal, but many on social media reacted with shock and criticism.
“Can’t wait for Democrats to defend cousin marriage!,” Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., posted on X.
A transitioning son accused of killing his mother inside a Laguna Beach home bludgeoned her to death with a hammer — with the alleged murderer’s grandmother discovering the bloody aftermath, authorities said.
Police responded to the rental home of Safford James Wolfson, 36, around 11 a.m. on July 20 after Wolfson’s grandma entered the residence and found blood-spattered floors and smashed furniture, prosecutors revealed.
Investigators said Wolfson’s grandmother first found Wolfson lying on the floor covered in blood before discovering the body of Angela Caprioli, 61, in a bedroom with severe blunt-force injuries to her head and face.
Wolfson’s grandmother called 911, with cops and medics arriving and taking Wolfson to the hospital with self-inflicted injuries to his neck.
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said Wolfson faces murder charges as well as a felony enhancement for using a deadly weapon.
Later in the article, we learn a little more about this guy:
He said the house where the alleged slaying occurred has been a longstanding eyesore in the neighborhood due to vegetation overgrowth. Police have frequently been called to the address over the years, he added.
Caprioli showed up at the address about a week before the killing in a red pickup truck loaded with boxes and flatscreens, Pettit said.
Wolfson’s strnge online presence drew attention as investigators probed the alleged homicide.
An X account bearing Wolfson’s name says the owner is a “trans girl looking for fun in LA,” and a TikTok account associated with the suspect includes several videos showing Wolfson dancing in dresses, miniskirts, crop tops and underwear.
Wolfson’s LinkedIn profile says he co-founded Kevin’s House LLC, a Southern California dual-diagnosis sober living and assisted adult care facility that provides services for people facing mental health challenges.
Caprioli described herself as the founder of Kevin’s House on her Facebook profile. Her account features a post showing her posing with Wolfson as the two smile together.
A liberal-led federal appeals court handed President Donald Trump two immigration victories Wednesday, reversing separate district court orders that had delayed the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants from South Sudan and Ethiopia.
The judgments from the First Circuit Court of Appeals come after U.S. District Judges Brian Murphy and Patti Saris issued back-to-back orders temporarily blocking the Trump administration’s termination of TPS for Ethiopia and South Sudan, respectively, late last week. The rulings drew sharp criticism from legal experts and Trump administration officials, who called the judges “rogue” and argued their decisions defied the Supreme Court.
The three-judge First Circuit panel consisted of Judges Julie Rikelman and Seth Aframe, both appointed by President Joe Biden, and Judge Joshua Dunlap, who was appointed by President Donald Trump.
In nearly identical rulings, the majority liberal panel found that the lower court judges’ orders conflicted with the Supreme Court’s decision in Mullin v. Doe, which held that courts cannot block TPS terminations based on non-constitutional claims.
“Mullin held that ‘the TPS statute’s judicial-review bar applies to all non-constitutional claims’ challenging the Secretary of Homeland Security’s determination with respect to the termination of a TPS designation,” the judges wrote.
Iowa Solicitor General Eric Wessan told Fox News Digital that the First Circuit correctly applied the precedent established by the Supreme Court.
An $18,000-a-summer Maine sleepaway camp chartered private jets to ferry campers and their parents to the wilderness retreat.
But they might have been better off rounding up some yellow buses and a very thick book of singalong songs for the ride to the far north east — because Page Six has learned that the camps are now suing the air company for allegedly failing to provide the planes.
Camp Laurel — which is on the banks of Echo Lake in the Belgrade Lakes region of the Pinetree State — and its parent company, Coastal Camps Inc., filed suit against White Plains Aviation Partners, on Monday claiming that the firm owes it at least $355,000 for alleged “breach of contract, negligent supervision [and] unjust enrichment.”
Court papers reviewed by Page Six show the camp alleges the company failed to honor its agreements with the camp, and didn’t return the money after the flights fell through.
It seems that private flights have increasingly become just another line item on the summer budget for wealthy families.
There is a book called The Camp of the Saints about the third invading Europe and the consequences to Western Civilization. Guess what? This book, written in 1974, is happening today. We should really pay attention to this.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have taken another step towards a third straight World Series title. A lot of people are whining that the Dodgers are ruining baseball, but are they? Some who know baseball say, “no.”
And our courts, once again, prove we are living in a two-tiered justice system.
There’s A Book About This
According to Perplexity:
The most likely reference is the Ceuta border incident in late July 2026, when tens of thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, prompting Spain to deploy military and police forces. Spain described it as a breach of territorial integrity, while some politicians called it an “invasion.”
What happened
Reports say roughly 49,000 to 60,000 people crossed into Ceuta over about a day, mostly by swimming or crossing on foot along the shoreline, overwhelming local facilities. At least 18 to 72 people died in the crossing attempts, depending on the report and date.
Why Ceuta matters
Ceuta is a small Spanish territory on the North African coast, so a mass crossing from Morocco creates an immediate border, security, and humanitarian crisis. The incident also revived debate over migration policy, border enforcement, and Spain-Morocco relations.
Historical meaning
If you meant a historical invasion, the closest major conflict is the Hispano-Moroccan War of 1859–1860, which began over border tensions involving Ceuta and was fought in northern Morocco.
Others pieces of information:
72 people have died crossing.
Riots, murders, rapes and looting have occurred.
The people of Ceuta have been protesting.
The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, is full of shit.
He didn’t send the military. He sent 60 troops. CBS really had to work to prove there was a military presence.
The Sanchez government has offered complete amnesty including voting right for illegal aliens.
That’s because his government is corrupt and failing. Spain’s economy is a disaster.
He wanted this.
There is a book, called The Camp of the Saints , almost identically described what happened to Spain.
A non-English-speaking Ukrainian migrant killed two people while driving a semi-truck in Alabama after becoming distracted by his phone. Now, he’s getting off with a slap on the wrist.
Andrii Dmyterko recently took a plea deal, pleading guilty to two misdemeanor counts of criminally negligent homicide, while prosecutors dismissed two felony charges of homicide by vehicle, Fox 10 reported. He received a sentence of two years in Clarke County jail and was credited for 430 days, meaning he will need to serve less than a year behind bars.
While behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler on May 6, 2025, Dmyterko crashed into four vehicles stopped at a red light, resulting in the deaths of two people. Dmyterko didn’t stop until his truck was roughly the length of two football fields from the crash scene.
The victims of the crash were later identified as Woodie Earl Beck III, 53, and Ashley Marie Springer McDonald, 37, according to AL.com.
In an effort to ensure the Ukrainian national stays locked up, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with local authorities in Alabama requesting that they hand him over upon his eventual release.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the Biden administration let Dmyterko into the country in 2024 through its humanitarian parole program for Ukraine.
