NFL: Hold my Bud Light

"Everything that I’m going through now, it’s bigger than me," Lindsay told Elle magazine in an interview from Monday headlined "Loud and Proud."

"I’m setting things up for the younger generation," Lindsay added. "No one is going to stop this show."

Well it's not like i can not watch football harder.  [shrug]


As an aside, there are trans folks out there that can convincingly pass for the gender they're going for.  Jerry Springer used to have entire episodes on "guess the Transvestite" and some of those folks really, really, looked like women.


^^^  That cheerleader is clearly a dude.  Not even living his fantasy very well.

Education Secretary Cardona says that he doesn’t have “too much respect” for parents who have been “misbehaving” at school board meetings.

They’re “acting like they know what’s right for kids!”

Another reason to not watch NFL games.  The TV broadcast typically doesn't show much of the cheerleaders, but I bet they put that person front and center. 

I really don't blame the person.  They are what they are.  I blame the team organization.  They chose to go this route.

This. We can not allow them to wear us down into using their language.

Which, ironically, when reading what I wrote above, if they did wear us down, you wouldn't know if I was talking about "them" the group or "them" the confused individual.

From their website:  "Since our founding, scores of homeschool alumni have come forward with stories of abuse or educational neglect, "

Scores . . . out of many how many millions of homeschooled kids? I wonder how that compares to publik skuul alumni who experienced abuse or educational neglect. I remember a fairly recent story about a group of schools in Baltimore with ZERO students passing basic math proficiency:

 https://foxbaltimore.com/news/project-baltimore/state-test-results-23-baltimore-schools-have-zero-students-proficient-in-math-jovani-patterson-maryland-comprehensive-assessment-program-maryland-governor-wes-moore

That's ONE public school system from ONE city . . . bet the total of affected children is more than "scores."

Not getting any better

Quote
A slate of Baltimore schools have sparked outrage after zero students passed their state math exams - with almost 75 percent testing at the lowest possible score.

The poor performances came in the latest round of Maryland's state testing, where 13 high schools in the city - a staggering 40 percent - failed to produce a single student with a 'proficient' score in math.
Quote
Some of the city's best-known schools, including Patterson High School, Frederick Douglass, and Reginald F. Lewis, made their way onto the list, while Baltimore City Schools also received $1.6 billion last year from taxpayers.

It was the largest funding the educational authority has ever received, leading to questions over where the money went

Obviously not in improving the kids math scores

If they're stray dogs, can they be euthanized?

Or at least neutered?  Please?

JFC, Canada. Here's a bunch of people getting beaten up by Canadian antifa as the cops watch, then when antifa is done with them, they get arrested.

I'm soooo scared

https://twitter.com/betterworld_24/status/1705904107679088828?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

You should be.  Communist activists are cranking up violence all over the western hemisphere, and they are being protected by the police in their countries.  They can and will assault you given the slightes provocation, and if you defend yourself, you'll be mobbed, and if you survive that, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail.

They can threaten all they want, and make good on the threats with impunity.

So were Lenin and Trotsky.

I repeat, you should be scared of her.  Sure she can't take you in a fight, but she knows that too, and will happily send a mob to firebomb your house while you sleep.

That's 100% what the enemy looks like, and she's speaking at the UN.

This. You will never have the chance to face these people one on one and face to face in a "fair" fight (not that any real fight should work off of fair). Antifa is following the model. You won't see antifa try to firebomb my house, because if I kill them all, local LE will be buying me drinks. If I lived in Seattle, I'd be facing murder charges.

They know where to do their deeds, and the number of those places is growing. It starts small, like the woman arrested for silently praying outside an abortion clinic, or drivers who get arrested for dragging a protestor off the freeway, then leads to what I posted above about Canada, where someone gets the *expletive deleted*it beat out of them by antifa, then arrested for it. Then trans day of vengeance, then, "words are violence, so antifa killing that person for speaking was self-defense".

That is what I was thinking.  Just like the Antifa riots, they only got out of control in cities that supported them.  Still quite a few people that need to be careful.

Polls are polls, but this does not bode well for the future: 65% of Americans want to scrap the Electoral College. The poll claims that includes half of Republicans, who have "republic" right there in their party name. I wouldn't be surprised if we become mob rule before I die.

    Washington National Cathedral replaces stained glass windows to honor BLM protestors pic.twitter.com/iPQ2R4UGUa

Quote
Now in fairness, it must be reported that the old stained glass windows were not religious either, as one might expect in a church. They depicted Civil War-era figures, including from the Confederacy, in an attempt to show reconciliation between the North and South. Those windows were removed several years ago because they were deemed 'offensive.'

But instead of replacing them with imagery celebrating, oh say, God or Christianity, the updated windows celebrate America's new religion of woke.

Isn't there a Commandment about this? National Cathedral honors the god of ... BLM?

From the deep voice, I'm going with "transgender" though kids that age are just playing dress up. However, society is getting pretty bad when we let boys beat up girls and then try to hide their identity behind the clothes they wear.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/oregon-middle-school-wont-say-whether-student-filmed-attacking-smaller-girl-transgender

My money is on the girl who got beat up being the one who gets in trouble, since it's coastal Oregon.
