Congrats, Man! Five Biological Dudes Who Won 2021 Women-Only Contests

Roman Catholic Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said, “To a great extent, the level of civilization can be measured based on the level of its womanhood” — which is bad news for much of the Western world, because in 2021 it would appear all of our best “women” are actually biological men.

As civilization goes to hell in a hand basket, it is difficult to keep track of all the latest leftist absurdities foisted upon the average citizen.

To help document our decline, here are five biological men who won woman-only prizes, listed under their respective category, in no particular order.

Female Survivors of Child Sex Trafficking Allegedly Experienced More Sexual Abuse at Texas Healing Shelter 

A state-funded Texas shelter for young female victims of sex trafficking is under investigation after a former employee allegedly coerced two of its residents into creating “sexual exploitation material” for sale, the facility confirmed in a statement Thursday.

Operators of The Refuge Ranch in Bastrop, which serves females ages 14-19, said they fired the employee after the allegations came to light on Jan. 24, and “immediately” alerted the Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office and the state Department of Family and Protective Services.

An investigation has since revealed more victims who alleged they were trafficked by the same ex-employee, and that others who remained employed by the facility appeared to be involved as well, according to a court document obtained by Austin TV station KXAN.

In an emergency court hearing Thursday called by U.S. District Court Judge Janis Jack, nine perpetrators were alleged to have victimized seven children, ages 11-17, who remained in the facility for over a month after the claims were first reported, according to the Texas Tribune.

One staff member of The Refuge Ranch, who was not identified, has been arrested, KXAN reports.

Boston social justice activist, hubby charged with fraud and conspiracy in federal indictment

A prominent social justice activist in Boston and her husband have been charged with using a $6,000 grant to take at-risk youth to a Philadelphia retreat on themselves — for a getaway to Maryland, restaurants and shopping sprees, among other things.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 41, founder of the nonprofit Violence in Boston, and her husband,, Clark Grant, 38, were charged Tuesday in an 18-count federal indictment, including charges for wire fraud and making false statements to a mortgage lending business.

In June 2019, she was given a check for $6,000 for a trip to Philly “to give these young men exposure to communities outside of the violence-riddled neighborhoods that they navigate daily,” the Boston Globe reported.

Instead, the couple used the money to take a vacation to Maryland, eat at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Shake Shack and other eateries, and pay for car rentals, Walmart purchases and visits to a nail salon, the feds allege.

Hunter Biden emails show Secret Service provided false info to Congress

The Secret Service has told Congress it doesn’t have three years of records related to its protection of Hunter Biden, the then-vice president’s son.

However, emails discovered on Hunter’s laptop, which has been in government custody for more than two years, show multiple Secret Service communications during the time he “crisscrossed the world from China to Ukraine seeking foreign business on his father’s vice presidential watch.”

Just the News has reviewed the emails and written a new article about them.

“The Secret Service’s inability, or perhaps unwillingness, to comply with my requests for records relating to Hunter Biden is unacceptable,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) told Just the News. “We now know that Hunter Biden’s laptop contained records that the Secret Service claimed they did not possess and therefore failed to produce to me and Senator Grassley. I can think of only two explanations for their lack of compliance, either the Secret Service is incompetent or it is corrupt.”

The emails are from a laptop Hunter reportedly abandoned at a Delaware repair shop in 2019. The shop owner turned over the laptop to the FBI when he says he saw it contained evidence of alleged criminal activities. The FBI never took any public action on the laptop material. Lead Democrats at the time spread a theory that it was probably Russian disinformation.

Ukraine Approves Law Criminalizing Dissent, Punishes Pro-Russia Sentiment with Up to 15 Years in Prison

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has passed a law punishing pro-Russian dissent with up to 15 years in prison.

Snitches Get Riches From the FBI

Snitches have a new way to make money in Charlotte, North Carolina. By texting the FBI and tattling on people that have illegal cash, informants can make up to 25 percent of the money seized, according to an FBI news release. Jilted lovers, jealous friends, and nosy neighbors can now score big. The good news for anyone tempted by the offer is that federal law makes asset confiscation far too easy.

By using civil forfeiture, law enforcement agencies can take cash, cars, and other assets without convicting anyone of wrongdoing. The government doesn’t have to make an arrest, develop a theory about a specific crime, or even witness illegal behavior. Agents can bypass the criminal courtroom altogether.

According to the release, the tip line is designed to help agents intercept drug trafficking shipments through Charlotte. An example campaign graphic shows two agents gazing at a large pile of cash in the trunk of a car. A glowing neon headline reads: “Shine a light on drug trafficking.” The fine print focuses on the kickback, stating that if the tip “on where drug cash is being stored or transported” pans out, “you could receive up to 25% of the seized money.” The message is clear: snitching can be rewarding. But the ad fails to mention four important details.

Ukrainian TV Host Calls For Genocide of Russian Children

Ukrainian TV host Fahruddin Sharafmal took to the airwaves to demand the genocide of Russian children, quoting top Nazi Adolf Eichmann as he called for “killing children.”

Yes, really.

Sharafmal uttered the vile comments during a segment on the Channel 24 news station.

“I know that as a journalist, I have to be objective, I have to be balanced, in order to report information to you with a cold heart, but to tell you the truth, it’s very hard to hold on now, especially at a time like this, and since we are called Nazis, fascists, and so on in Russia — I will allow myself to quote Adolf Eichmann, who said that in order to destroy a nation, you must destroy, first of all, children. Because if you kill their parents, the children will grow up and take revenge. By killing children — they will never grow up and the nation will disappear,” Sharafmal said.

He then went on to assert that he would personally kill Russian children.
