Biden’s Executive Order Allows Men Dressed Like Girls To Compete in Women's Sports


 Mere hours after stressing the need for “unity,” President Biden sparked a new civil war with an executive order letting transgender women compete in women’s sports.

On social media, #BidenErasedWomen and #TERFs (an acronym for “trans-exclusionary radical feminist”) trended following the action. That’s understandable: It’s one thing, after all, to ban discrimination; it’s another to tell schools and colleges that transwomen athletes — biologically born boys who now identify as female — must be allowed to compete with biological women and girls, despite their physical advantages.

The notion is patently ridiculous and may result in millions of girls losing out on prestigious sports victories (and maybe scholarships that go with them). It also risks greater injuries to women. A better solution, perhaps, might be to give trans athletes a league of their own.

Meanwhile, the US Education Department will now switch sides in two court battles, one in Connecticut and another in Idaho, over whether transgender athletes are treated by their biological sex or by how they identify.

Surely Title IX, the landmark federal law that guarantees equal opportunity for women and girls in education and sports, wasn’t drafted with the intent of allowing biological women to go up against female-identifying men.

“A new glass ceiling was just placed over girls,” Wall Street Journal contributor Abigail Shrier tweeted.

Clearly Biden wants to signal his left-wing bona fides early, but if such foolish moves foreshadow what’s to come, forget about “unity.”

Amazon offers Biden vaccine assistance after months of silence with Trump... Amazon Wasn't Interested in Saving Lives With Trump!



Amazon is offering to help President Biden hasten distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, inviting questions about whether the offer was ever made to the Trump administration.

Amazon executive Dave Clark pitched the idea to Biden as soon as he took office in a Wednesday letter that also congratulated him on his inauguration. 

“We are prepared to leverage our operations, IT, & communications capabilities and expertise to assist your administration’s vaccination efforts. Our scale allows us to make a meaningful impact immediately,” Clark wrote.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at a Thursday afternoon briefing that “we’ve had a lot of outreach, some privately, some publicly from a range of businesses and private sector entities. And we certainly welcome that. And we’ll be considering all of those offers.”

A journalist pressed Psaki about the timing of Amazon’s offer, inquiring if the tech giant waited until after Trump left office as “a political call… while lives are hanging in the  balance.

“I’m not aware of the timeline of when Amazon reached out. That sounds like a question for Amazon to me,” Psaki said.

Georgia conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Thursday made good on her promise to file articles of impeachment against President Biden.

“I’ve just filed articles of impeachment on President Joe Biden, we will see how this goes,” Greene said.

Congresswoman Greene released the following statement:

Pearls of Wisdom from Newt Gingrich .. Explaining Why He Cannot Accept the Outcome of the 2020 Elections.

 From Newt Gingrich former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives 🇺🇸


A smart friend of mine who is a moderate liberal asked why I was not recognizing Joe Biden’s victory. The friend made the case that Mr. Biden had gotten more votes, and historically we recognize the person with the most votes. Normally, we accept the outcome of elections just as we accept the outcomes of sporting events.

So, my friend asked why was 2020 different?
Having spent more than four years watching the left “resist” President Donald Trump and focus entirely on undoing and undermining the 2016 election, it took me several days to understand the depth of my own feelings.

As I thought about it, I realized my anger and fear were not narrowly focused on votes. My unwillingness to relax and accept that the election grew out of a level of outrage and alienation unlike anything I had experienced in more than 60 years involvement in public affairs.

The challenge is that I — and other conservatives — are not disagreeing with the left within a commonly understood world. We live in alternative worlds.  The left’s world is mostly the established world of the forces who have been dominant for most of my life.

My world is the populist rebellion which believes we are being destroyed, our liberties are being cancelled and our religions are under assault. (Note the new Human Rights Campaign to decertify any religious school which does not accept secular sexual values — and that many Democrat governors have kept casinos open while closing churches though the COVID-19 pandemic.) We also believe other Democrat-led COVID-19 policies have enriched the wealthy while crushing middle class small business owners (some 160,000 restaurants may close).

In this context, let’s talk first about the recent past and the presidency:

"Lekoved" Biden's First Day in Office "UrANUS" The ice giant is set to make a rare appearance TONIGHT as it hangs between the moon and Mars

 UrANUS is going to be on view for the world to see tonight.

NASA reports the ice giant will be on view January 20 a few hours after sundown. 

The seventh planet from the Sun shines at the edge of naked-eye visibility, especially in areas with light pollution, so it's notoriously hard to view.

But stargazers with a telescope or binoculars should be able to spot it hanging in the night sky between the moon and Mars.

That evening, find the crescent Moon and the Red Planet in the couple of hours after it gets dark,' advises NASA's What's Up skywatching guide

Mars will stand out in the night sky with an orange, reddish tint near the moon, reports Axel Diaz, a Solar System Ambassador for NASA.   

People say you can't find the planet Uranus—it's very hard to find, it's very faint, it's very small,' says Diaz. 

'The best way to find it is to look at the moon. Look at the moon and look at Mars.'

Biden to Allow Males in Girls Bathrooms on Day One

 At the top of Joe Biden’s position page on gay and transgender issues is a quote from Biden that’s supposed to neatly express his guiding principle on the issues:

“Who do you love? Who do you love? And will you be loyal to the person you love? And that’s what people are finding out is what all marriages, at their root, are about.”

My guess is that the Biden campaign didn’t choose that epigraph from Biden because it was profound, eloquent, bold or revealing. It’s from May 6, 2012 — just days before then-President Obama announced what can charitably be called his “evolution” on the matter of same-sex marriage.

It’s platitudinal. If I told you the quote came from Joel Osteen or Woody Allen or Kim Kardashian, you’d have no reason not to believe me. Unless it’s slapped atop a page laying out a candidate’s positions on LGBT issues, it means nothing.

Rather, it’s there because it’s safe. No matter how you feel about Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court case that legalized gay marriage nationally, it’s not something that’s going to get you angry. It’s meant to tell you, the reader, that this is what Biden’s positions are all about: It’s just about love, and whom you love, and loving, and being loved, and did I mention love?

The problem is that what’s contained therein isn’t quite as voter-safe as that. Consider what will be one of Biden’s most controversial moves on day one of his presidency: 

Reinstating Obama-era Title IX guidance allowing students to use the bathroom or locker room they best feel fits with their gender identity.

“On his first day in office, Biden will reinstate the Obama-Biden guidance revoked by the Trump-Pence Administration, which will restore transgender students’ access to sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms in accordance with their gender identity,” Biden’s website states.

“He will direct his Department of Education to vigorously enforce and investigate violations of transgender students’ civil rights.”

He’s following through, too. Fox News reports that reinstating the guidance, revoked by the Trump administration in 2017, will be one of almost a dozen executive orders Biden plans to sign Wednesday.

Satmar in Yerushalyim Keep Yeshiva Open Against Regulations ... Then Throw Rocks At Police When They Try to Close it ..

 


Yes Yes ... it's not a typo .... there are actually thousands of Satmar Chassidim living in Israel despite the founder's prediction in 1967 that there won't be Torah in Israel in 20 years and yes they take money from the "Medina" absolutely ...

Now I don't know how much Torah they actually learn in Satmar ... but I see that they learned how to throw rocks and how to physically  injure their opponents ...  I see that they must be studying Jewish history well ... because they are very familiar with the word "Nazi" which they spew frothing at their mouths every time the Medina decides to save their lives!...

A Eulogy for Lost Truth Within the Torah Community

 


We are in the middle of an era of unprecedented upheaval, fury and dissent to the point of violence. But underneath the loud boisterous anger and arguments, we are also – and predominately – in an era of mourning.

Obviously, we are mourning the physical loss of loved ones to this relentless virus. We mourn the financial losses and terrifying instabilities that accompany it. The psychological toll of these losses is beyond measure. That deep-seated sorrow is generating much of the current political upheaval.

And yet beyond those physical losses we are also mourning the metaphysical loss of truth. Truth is a fragile creature. We have seen it twisted, manhandled and quite frankly, slaughtered like some sort of a choice sacrifice. On the altar of what? Fear and fear-based thinking. On the altar of fear without facts. In short, on the altar of conspiracy theories.

Conspiratorial ideas no longer seem to be merely whispered along the fringes. Rather they are increasingly becoming the dominant narrative in many pockets of the Torah community. Even more concerning, they are very often shared in the context of Torah teachings and wisdom.

Biden Warns His Staff to be "nice" after Having Just recently threatened Pres Trump that he "would have beat the Hell out of Trump if they were still in High School!

President Biden warned new members of his administration Wednesday that he’ll fire them "on the spot" if they fail to treat others nicely.

"If you’re ever working with me, and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot," Biden told new aides during a swearing-in ceremony following his inauguration. "On the spot."

He told the appointees that part of it is that he wants to root out systemic racism and that failing to maintain his standards of decorum would cost them their jobs.

"My dad used to have an expression: He said everyone, every single person, regardless of their background, is entitled to be treated with dignity," Biden said. "I expect you to do that for all the folks you deal with, all the folks we work for, the American people."

"No ifs, ands or buts – everybody, everybody is entitled to be treated with decency and dignity," Biden concluded during his remarks Wednesday. "That's been missing in a big way for the last four years."

The stern call for workplace pleasantness comes after a 2020 presidential campaign in which he said he’d "beat the hell" out of his opponent, former President Donald Trump, if they were in high school together.

"If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him," Biden said on the campaign trail in March 2018, taking issue with some of Trump’s past remarks.


The statement prompted a fiery rebuke from Trump and stood out as Biden tried to campaign on a platform of unity and normalcy – concepts he mentioned during his inaugural address Wednesday.

"We can join forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature," he said. "For without unity there is no peace, only bitterness and fury. No progress, only exhausting outrage. No nation, only a state of chaos. This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward."
