What say the feminists about this? Rep. Illan Omar supports gender equality in public school weight lifting competition

  Trans are free to  compete in public school competition says Illan Omar.
 So is it OK for trans [young men who become women] to compete in public school weight lifting  competition?    Yes, says Democrat from Minnesota   Illan Omar, it’s fine  for school age trans   to  compete in public school athletics. Others think trans competition is not fair.  
Here’s  Rep. Illan Omar’s words:
“The myth that trans women have a ‘direct competitive advantage’ is not supported by medical science, and it continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk communities in the world,” So says Illan Omar.
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar wrote in a January letter to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, urging him to investigate USA Powerlifting for barring male weightlifters from female events.
Democrats’ Equality Act would make “gender identity” a protected category under federal anti-discrimination laws and  would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.
_________
Aptos Psychologist:   Up to age 14-15 young women can successfully  compete with young men in soccer.  By age 15-16 young men win overwhelmingly against young women.  Bodies simply  change.   A age 15-16 year old former male who now identifies and changes to be a female trans will win overwhelmingly against typical developing females.
Illam Omar, who was brought into the USA by  Somalian adults who  thwarted immigration laws,  now supports trans  thwarting the rules that  have long defined high school  sports.

Bernie Sanders part one and two

  Sen. Bernie Sanders said on Sunday he thinks it’s “unbelievable” that President Trump “attacks American cities” when asked about Trump’s tweet calling Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings’ Baltimore district a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”

However, Sanders sounded a different tune in 2015 when he likened Cummings’ West Baltimore district to a “Third World country.”

Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation. You would think that you were in a Third World country,” Sanders said during a tour of the city in the aftermath of riots over the April 2015 death of Freddie Gray, an African-American man who died after falling into a coma while in police custody.

Sanders’ 2015 “Third World” comments are not his only  statements criticizing the living conditions in Baltimore.

In 2016, the politician sounded off about Baltimore’s “poorest boroughs,” saying that residents have “lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea.”

Freedoms are protected by physical borders of USA?

Freedoms are protected by physical borders of USA?    So Trump’s administration maintains.

Freedoms are protected by physical borders?  

The U.S. Supreme Court  recently agreed it’s legal for Trump to use defense funds to build physical barriers for a wall  on USA’s southern border.

To cut or not to cut? Infibulate? Rep. Omar’s non-speak on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)

To cut or not to cut?  Infibulate?     Is Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) an OK practice anywhere? Ms. Illan Omar refuses to answer.

How free  are you when others can cut into your body as a young child?  Bodily integrity is a basic human freedom.

FGM is overwhelmingly practiced in Somalia.  Rep.  Illam Omar,  from Somalia,  probably knows family and others   who have experienced the practice.

Ms. Omar was born and lived in Somalia until age ten.  Overwhelmingly,  98%  of the population in Somalia practices Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).   Young girls  in Somalia are routinely   infibulated (female circumcision).

What Rep. Omar thinks of Female Genital Mutilation and other issues  matters to plenty of  women, voters and people in general.   Though illegal in the USA since 1997, it’s a cultural practice common throughout much of the  Muslim world. Roughly 100 – 140 million woman world wide have experienced FGM.

When asked whether she condemns  the  practice Ms. Omar said the question was “absurd”.  Omar questioned the question rather than answer.  Ms. Omar engaged in non-speak.

Some facts  on  Female Genital Mutilation:

Islam is currently the largest single religious group in which the practice is widespread.   

In-depth research has been done on FTM in Somalia.  

“These studies confirmed that FGM/C is a deeply rooted and widely supported practice that is sustained through many cultural justifications that reinforce its continuation.

The three main reasons cited were that FGM/C is a Somali tradition, that it is an Islamic requirement, and that it enforces the cultural value of sexual purity in females by controlling female sexual desires, thereby ensuring virginity before marriage and fidelity throughout a woman’s life.

The studies showed that there is a fear of women “running wild” and becoming promiscuous if they are not circumcised and infibulated.   FGM/C is erroneously
seen as a way of complying with the Islamic requirement of chastity and morality, and is also believed to enhance women’s ritual cleanliness to enable them to pray.
The perceived Islamic requirement is a major justification for FGM/C in practicing Muslim communities such as the Somali.”

Aptos Psychologist:  What kind of men support FGM?  Those men, probably Muslim, who say to themselves  ‘it’s always been done, it’s religious tradition and …. it ensures one can marry a chaste woman.’  FGM is all about control of women.    Yes   –  Rep. Illan Omar should answer the question, ‘Do you condemn the practise of FGM?

A horse race: Will Joe Biden fade & Michelle Obama replace him? Possible.

A horse race:  Will Joe Biden fade & Michelle Obama replace him?

Will Michelle Obama replace Biden as top Presidential hopeful? Michelle Obama may  appeal to many ‘middle of the road’  Democrats who find current  contenders too ‘progressive’ for their taste.

Joe Biden  cannot match Michelle Obama in important ways.

 

woman of color premiere?  Michelle Obama …

Michelle Obama is a premiere ‘woman of color’.  Michelle Obama is immensely popular. Michelle Obama can carry on her husband’s problematic    “legacy”.

Competitors?  Harvard’s first woman of color,  Elizabeth Warren,  cannot compete with Michelle  Obama when they are compared in terms of  their skin color and early background.  Elizabeth Warren’s story about her percentage of Indian blood does not hold up.

California’s ‘woman of color’ attorney Kamala  Harris comes across  as strident compared with former first lady Michelle Obama.  Though Michelle Obama often appeared angry she also had her garden and tried to improve food options for students per her views.

The Democrat ‘ pack of contenders’ are so similar with respect to ‘open borders’, ‘green agenda’ and free medical care for all who can get into the country.  There will be push back.  Michelle Obama may be the one ‘woman of color’ who  most  appeals.  Can Miclelle Obama replace contender Joe Biden?  Possible.

Flash! Attorney Kamala Harris never heard of 2nd Amendment

 To maintain our freedoms, Americans have the right to bear arms.  That’s the 2nd Amendment.  Will Kamala Harris’ proposed executive order, were she to become President,  work?  Remember Obama who sent guns across the border to Mexico.
Kamala Harris used a July 13, 2019, tweet to renew her pledge to bypass Congress and enact executive gun control.

Harris tweeted: “Gun violence is the leading cause of death for young Black men in America. We must stop this. When president, I will take executive action to ensure guns do not fall into the wrong hands.”

On April 22, 2019, Breitbart News reported Harris’ plan to give Congress 100 days to pass new gun controls if she wins the White House. Should Congress fail to act, Harris made clear she would simply use executive orders to achieve the gun control she desires.

To date Harris has pledged executive action to require private gun sellers to conduct background checks on their sales, to direct the ATF to take away the license of any gun dealer who breaks the law, and to ban fugitives from buying guns.

Fake Indian fakes us again? Elizabeth Warren, Harvard’s first woman of color …

Elizabeth Warren, one of several women running for President in 2020,  faked having Cherokee Indian blood.  Later,   as an affirmative action applicant Elizabeth  was  employed by east coast colleges. Elizabeth Warren was Harvard’s first woman of color.  

Now Warren seeks to spin  the story whether women got a ‘fair deal’ in compensation from Dow Chemical.  Warren was paid heaps of money  by Dow Chemical to keep compensation to women as low as possible.

Is Warren faking us again?

When Dow Corning faced thousands of lawsuits in the 1990s from women saying they had become sick from the company’s silicone gel breast implants, its parent firm, Dow Chemical, turned to one of the country’s leading experts in corporate bankruptcies: Professor Elizabeth Warren.

Warren, now a Democratic presidential candidate, has never publicly discussed her role in the case. Her campaign said that she was “a consultant to ensure adequate compensation for women who claimed injury” from the implants and that a $2.3 billion fund for the women was started “thanks in part to Elizabeth’s efforts.”

But participants on both sides of the matter say that description mis-characterizes Warren’s work, in which she advised a company intent on limiting payments to the women.

“She was on the wrong side of the table,” said Sybil Goldrich, who co-founded a support group for women with implants and battled the companies for years. Goldrich said Dow Corning and its parent “used every trick in the book” to limit the size of payouts to women. The companies, she added, “were not easy to deal with at all.” ….

A person familiar with Warren’s role who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe litigation strategy said the future senator was part of a Dow defense team that had containing the company’s liability as a goal….

Shortly after The Post contacted Warren’s campaign for comment on this story, a lawyer from Warren’s campaign called Gold­rich, the advocate for breast implant victims, to ask her to make a positive statement about the settlement.

“They asked, ‘Could I make a comment about whether the deal was fair? Would I say it was a fair deal? Was it fair?’ ” said Goldrich, recalling her conversation. “I wouldn’t say that.”

Person holes? Woman holes? Man holes? Oh dear …

Gender free language does little to promote real freedoms.  Berkeley CA is into  language changing for whatever purposes.

Berkeley, CA bans gas and man holes. How about person holes? Man holes? Woman holes?

At a Tuesday night city council meeting, Berkeley, CA  became the first city in America to ban the use of natural gas piping in new construction. But that was not the only utility-related issue they saw fit to attend to. No, there was another matter on deck: Eliminating the gendered connotations of words like “manhole” in the city municipal code.

No longer will the streets of fair Berkeley be dotted with manholes, nary a womanhole or nonbinaryhole in sight. With Tuesday night’s vote, they have all been transmuted into “maintenance holes,” that highest, hardest glass manhole-cover finally shattered.

Tip of the day: Don’t tip, you racist

  Tip of the day: Don’t tip! Why?

Read Jabborwocky  by Carroll as to why.

Word of caution to everyone who feels that they are doing some good in the world by being generous tippers: according to Politico, tipping has a “racist history”:

You might not think of tipping as a legacy of slavery, but it has a far more racialized history than most Americans realize. Tipping originated in feudal Europe and was imported back to the United States by American travelers eager to seem sophisticated. The practice spread throughout the country after the Civil War as U.S. employers, largely in the hospitality sector, looked for ways to avoid paying formerly enslaved workers.

The Rev. Dr. Barber II’s article is one long, desperate pitch for a horrible idea: raising the mandatory minimum wage to $15 an hour. The Rev. Dr. Barber II’s justification for doing so is that it will “end a pernicious legacy of slavery.”

Because of the allegedly “racialized history” of gratuities, the Rev. Dr. Barber II takes umbrage with the entire notion of having to hustle for a buck:

Tipping further entrenched a unique and often racialized class structure in service jobs, in which workers must please both customer and employer to earn anything at all.

Somebody should tell the good Rev. Dr. about all of the people who aren’t in the service industry and work on commission alone. I sold real estate to pay for college back in the day and my guaranteed minimum wage was $0.

Jabberwocky

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
      And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
      The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
      The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
      Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
      And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
      The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
      And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
      The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
      He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
      Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
      He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
      And the mome raths outgrabe.
