Michelle Obama’s Snarky Lecture To America; ‘Don’t Waste My Time’—Grow Up’

Michelle Obama delivered a dismissive take on potential presidential ambitions during a recent appearance, suggesting Americans aren’t mature enough for a female leader—blaming voter immaturity for Kamala Harris’s 2025 defeat rather than campaign shortcomings. 

Her snarky elitist perspective ignores policy realities, framing rejection as a sign of national adolescence.

In the clip from her discussion with Tracee Ellis Ross, Obama dismissed the idea of running, stating, “Don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. So don’t waste my time. We got a lot of growing up to do.” 

She rejected the notion that the First Lady role limits women in politics, saying, “I don’t agree with that… Do you think that impacts the room we have made for a woman to be president?” 

Obama then further intimated that America’s “immaturity” on gender is the barrier, rather than policy failures on the left.

‘Free to express opinions’: Oregon district pays $650,000 to settle with educators who objected to trans lessons

Schools ‘can’t retaliate against speech simply because they disagree with what’s said.’

An Oregon school district has agreed to pay $650,000 to settle with two educators who were punished, then fired, for speaking out against the injurious transgender agenda the district was adopting.

The trans ideology as promoted by Joe Biden and his administration for years includes giving chemicals to children to delay puberty, then doing mutilating body surgeries on the child.

Grants Pass, Ore., educators Katie Medart and Rachel Sager had launched a grassroots movement called “I Resolve” to speak out on a school gender identity education policy, and to offer alternatives that would allow teachers to continue teaching without submitting their religious beliefs to the social agenda.

And one that would respect the rights of parents to know what their children were being given in school.

They posted a video on their own website promoting their beliefs and efforts.

Subsequently, Grants Pass School District 7 officials suspended them, then fired them.

“Educators are free to express opinions on fundamental issues of public concern—like gender identity education policy—that implicate the freedoms of teachers, parents, and students,” said Mathew Hoffman, of the ADF, which represented the teachers along with the Pacific Justice Institute.

“The Grants Pass School District is taking the right step by acknowledging that teachers don’t give up their First Amendment rights when they set foot on school property. Public schools can’t retaliate against speech simply because they disagree with what’s said.”

Sager and Medart have worked in the education field for many years, including at North Middle School in Grants Pass. Sager served as assistant principal, and Medart taught science there, the legal teams explained.

Their legal action charging the school violated their free speech, religious freedom and equal protection rights was settled with the district agreeing to pay $650,000 in damages and attorneys’ fees.

Pelosi’s Likely Successor Dwarfs Her Radicalism

With the Wicked Witch of the West Coast — a.k.a. Nancy Pelosi — finally retiring from Congress, the race is on for her broom ride to Washington, DC. Unfortunately, if you can believe it, those seeking to fill this congressional power vacuum are even more ideologically and morally duplicitous.

One such front-runner candidate for Pelosi’s seat is California State Senator Scott Wiener.

Wiener, a San Francisco politician, has generated immense human suffering in the Golden State. He’s responsible for SB 132, the 2020 law that allows males misidentifying as females to be housed in women’s prisons. This heinous legislation has turned into a form of cruel and unusual punishment for incarcerated females, many of whom have been raped, harassed, and intimidated by mentally ill males.

Wiener would rather see these women experience brutalization than admit that his stance is terribly wrong. In fact, whenever he’s confronted with the issue, he shuts down, doesn’t actually address the problem, and in some cases calls those who protest it “disgusting.”

Wiener is also behind SB 357, a law that decriminalized loitering with the intent to solicit prostitution. Guess what that hellish decision led to? The sexual slavery of young women and men — some of whom are minors — who are being flaunted with impunity down the streets of Los Angeles. This is not justice. It’s a tragedy.

SB 357 is even unpopular with some Democrat lawmakers because when legislators tried to introduce a bill to protect these vulnerable children by prosecuting their customers, Wiener and his ilk changed the legislation beyond all recognition.

Wiener was behind SB 107, which made California a sanctuary kidnapping state for gender-confused kids to run to if their families disagree with their adoption of gender pathology. As California Policy Center President Will Swaim put it, “Team Wiener says the law, which Newsom signed in 2022, protects vulnerable kids from bad parents and regressive red-state policies. You might say it violates parental rights, encourages runaways, and makes those kids vulnerable to abuse, including sex trafficking.”

These are but a taste of Wiener’s legislative bugaboos. If any bill has anything to do with the promotion of promiscuous sex and/or annihilating the freedoms of parents and the safety of children from predatory behavior, his name is generally associated with it. Even recently, after black lesbian rap artist Tish Hyman got kicked out of her gym for confronting a gender-confused man for being in a women-only space, guess who Wiener defended? Hint: It wasn’t the black lesbian; it was the wife-beating, gender-confused sociopath.

The Olympic ban on cheating men is long overdue

Finally, common sense has prevailed at the International Olympic Committee (IOC). If rumours are to be believed, a blanket ban on transgender-identifying men competing in women’s Olympic events is set to be introduced. At last!

This is great news for female athletes who will no longer have to endure the indignity and inherent unfairness of being made to compete against males. And it will no doubt be a huge relief for women who engage in contact sports, such as boxing, and who were put in danger by being made to face bulkier, stronger rivals. But why has it taken the IOC so long to see sense?

Feminists have long known that defending women’s rights is a marathon, not a sprint. But when it comes to single-sex sports, this marathon has been undertaken at snail’s pace. Rather than simply saying ‘no’ to cheating men, the IOC has been around the houses. Since the last Olympics, it has elected a new president, established a ‘working group’, launched a review and commissioned a presentation. Even after all of this, we are told that ‘no decisions have been taken yet’.

The cause for celebration this week is solely down to sources having revealed ‘that a ban is likely to be introduced in 2026’, but probably not before February’s Winter Olympics in Italy. In fact, the ban may not take full effect until the Los Angeles Games in 2028.

Sadly, this will be far too late for New Zealand’s women weight lifters. They missed out on the life-changing opportunity to compete in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, when their spot was taken by transgender athlete, Laurel Hubbard. Hubbard competed in men’s events before declaring himself to be transgender in 2013. He took medication to reduce his testosterone levels and – hey presto! – gained a place in the female category. Hubbard did not win a medal at the games, but, unlike the women who did take the top spots, he garnered global media plaudits.

Brave black lesbian instantly silences baying woke mob while confronting Democrat senator about encounter with trans creep in female locker room

A lesbian singer banned from her LA gym for complaining about a transgender woman in the female locker room eloquently silenced a woke mob while grilling one of California‘s most powerful Democrats.  

Tish Hyman confronted state senator Scott Wiener, who represents parts of San Francisco, about the alleged encounter in the women’s locker room at Gold’s Gym in Beverly Hills.

The dispute gained national attention after a video of her screaming about ‘grown men with big d**ks’ in the gym’s locker room went viral.

She was referring to Alexis Black, a 32-year-old trans woman who told the Daily Mail that she still has male genitalia and previously went by the name Grant Freeman.

Hyman spoke to Wiener, who is gay, because he is running for Nancy Pelosi‘s seat in the House of Representatives. If he wins, he would have more power to legislate on the issue of women’s safety in female-only spaces.

‘I want to support you. I have millions of people behind me, watching this right now and we want to know, are you going to protect women?’ she asked. ‘Not trans women. Women. Women and trans women are a different thing.’

When an audience member interjected that ‘trans women are women’, Hyman dared to step on the third rail and declare: ‘No they are not, they are men.’

As the crowd began to boo and jeer, she stood up and stood her ground, shouting: ‘He broke his wife’s jaw so bad she needed reconstructive surgery’, referring to Freeman’s criminal history.

Are ‘trans’ people worrying about biologically impossible diseases yet?

Every one of us has done it, even if it’s just for a fleeting second. It crosses your mind. You have some symptoms that could be anything from a headache to brain cancer, and at some point you doom out, staring at the list of symptoms, thinking that cancer doesn’t care who you are, anyone could get it. You think you’re being reasonable, after all. “Who am I to think I’m immune?” Right?

Then, having deemed yourself reasonable and rational to boot, you click back to your search results and check another website other than WebMD just to be sure. Something a little more academic, more…medical. More professional. After all, you don’t want to go off half-cocked. It’s about then, when you start hitting the NIH/PubMed or NEJM articles that are published by doctors for doctors, that you realize you’re in waaaaay over your head, being ridiculous, take a couple of aspirin and calm down. The whole thing lasts a couple of minutes.

Right? Who among us hasn’t done it?

Now, knowing what we know about lefties, how much do you want to bet that one of them, a “trans” person, born female but masquerading as male, is out there thinking she has prostate cancer? She has no prostate, of course, but that doesn’t stop her from thinking…maybe?

You know they’re out there. Because they’re insane, as we’ve amply proved again, and again. If it hasn’t happened already, you know it will. A born female will make an appointment with a urologist. It’s bound to happen.

We know the reverse is true. There are people born men who have been surgically given a cavity where their penis used to be, then demanded a gynecological exam. The title of this piece from a couple of years ago gets right to the point: “A Cavity is not a Vagina.”

If you Google “Do trans (men masquerading as) women need a gynecologist,” you get a mish-mash of answers, some yes, some no, and some, frankly, are you insane? A common related question that pops up when you do these kinds of searches is whether a person born male but pretending to be a female needs a pap smear.

I can answer that! Of course not. Where there is no cervix, there is no need for a pap smear! That doesn’t mean they won’t ask, though, based on some articles I’ve found of trans patients (a.k.a. men going to the gynecologist) and being completely unreasonable, here and here.

Olympics set to ban ALL transgender athletes for LA 2028 – but row rages over whether those with Imane Khelif’s reported condition will be able to compete

A ban on transgender women competitors is strongly expected to be in place for the  2028 Olympics – but it remains unclear if there will be barriers against athletes with differences of sexual development (DSD) after the boxing furore at Paris 2024.

Under the existing rules, each sport is empowered to decide if transgender women can compete if their testosterone levels fall below a designated threshold.

But the International Olympic Committee, under new president Kirsty Coventry, is in discussions about a dramatic policy shift that would impose a blanket ban across all sports for the Los Angeles Games. 

Such a move would prevent the kind of scenario that saw Laurel Hubbard contest the weightlifting at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Hubbard transitioned in 2012. 

While Olympic sources have confirmed that such a measure is very much the ‘direction of travel’, it is highly unlikely to come into force before the Winter Olympics in Italy next February. 

One report suggested that a rule change could be announced in February, but insiders estimated it might take between six months and a year for it to be approved and cleared.

The move would be seen as a box ticked by Coventry, who campaigned to protect the female category on her way to winning the presidential election earlier this year.

Supreme Court Allows Trump to Mandate Biological Sex on Passports – Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Fumes

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision on Thursday, allowed President Trump to enforce a new policy that has ended the use of the “X” marker on passports.

The high court issued the decision in an unsigned order.

President Trump signed an executive order shortly after his inauguration, which directed agencies like the State Department and Homeland Security to issue IDs, including passports, visas, and Global Entry cards, based solely on biological sex assigned at birth.

This reversed prior allowances for self-selected genders, including “X” for unspecified.

The anti-American ACLU represented transgender individuals who sued over the Trump Administration’s passport policy.

Two liberal district court judges struck down the Trump Administration’s new passport policy.

“The President’s choice to revert to prior policy and rely on biological sex—a choice that bound the State Department—should be the last place for novel equal-protection claims or Administrative Procedure Act objections,” DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer wrote in a petition to the Supreme Court.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court upheld the Trump Administration’s passport policy and allowed the State Department to mandate biological sex on passports.

“Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment,” the Supreme Court said.

Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, with whom Justice Sotomayor and Justice Kagan joined, dissented.

“As is becoming routine, the Government seeks an emergency stay of a District Court’s preliminary injunction pending appeal. As is also becoming routine, this Court misunderstands the assignment,” Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote.

“Here, the balance-of-the-equities factor requires weighing the harm to the Government from not being able to proceed immediately with its allegedly unlawful policy against the harm to the individuals who would be subjected to that policy,” she added.

Bondi celebrated the latest SCOTUS win.

“Today’s stay allows the government to require citizens to list their biological sex on their passport,” Bondi said.

“In other words: there are two sexes, and our attorneys will continue fighting for that simple truth,” Bondi added.

BBC Finds Star Anchor Showed Bias by Correctly Pointing Out ‘Pregnant People’ are ‘Women’ During Report

On the surface, the transgender issue seems like nothing more than an opportunity for woke liberals to virtue signal.

When powerful people try to censor obvious truth on that issue, however, one begins to suspect that the invalidation of truth itself represents their ultimate goal.

According to The Times of London, the BBC has punished anchor Martine Croxall for a singular act of on-air bravery when, in June, she changed the woke BBC teleprompter script from “pregnant people” to “women.”

News of Croxall’s punishment came one day after the U.K.’s Telegraph reported “effective censorship” of transgenderism-related stories at the BBC. Indeed, a leaked internal memo written by a former independent BBC advisor cited a “constant drip-feed of one-sided stories.”

BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit has censured Croxall for violating its rules pertaining to “impartiality,” per The Times of London.

Croxall, in fact, did more than correct the woke teleprompter. She briefly rolled her eyes in a clear show of exasperation with the phrase “pregnant people.”

Meanwhile, on the social media platform X, “Harry Potter” author and women’s advocate J.K. Rowling described Croxall as her “new favourite BBC presenter.”

But the ECU would not tolerate Croxall’s truth-telling.

“The ECU considered the facial expression… laid it open to the interpretation that it indicated a particular viewpoint in the controversies currently surrounding trans identity, and the congratulatory messages Croxall later received on social media, together with the critical views expressed in the complaints to the BBC, tended to confirm that the impression of her having expressed a personal view was widely shared across the spectrum of opinion on the issue,” the ECU said in a statement, per The Times of London.

“As giving the strong impression of expressing a personal view on a controversial matter, even if inadvertently, falls short of the BBC’s expectations of its presenters and journalists in relation to impartiality, the ECU upheld the complaints,” the statement added.

X users reacted by likening the BBC’s punishment related to her “facial expression” to history’s most famous dystopian novel.

‘All they did was wear wristbands!’ Judges question school district’s ban on ‘XX’ at girls’ games

Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island risk becoming hotbeds of censorship by school districts if the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals construes perceived offense as harassment. School districts risk massive liability for harassment if it does not.

Lawyers for censored parents and New Hampshire’s Bow School District laid out alternate visions of legal calamity to a three-judge panel of the Boston-based court at a hearing Wednesday on the constitutionality of Bow banning “XX” wristbands, a silent form of advocacy for female-only sports, from school athletic events.

Parents and a grandparent sued the district more than a year ago, after it threatened to arrest them at a Sept. 17, 2024, girls’ soccer game featuring a male player for not removing their wristbands, which refer to the female chromosome pair, and issued no-trespass orders. Bow set up a “protest zone” for critics of male inclusion soon after the suit was filed. 

Their passive protest shortly followed a federal judge blocking The Free State’s law that “prohibits biological males from participating in female athletics,” an injunction that applied only to the male athletes who sued, not every male who identifies as a girl.

A district judge nominated by President George H.W. Bush rejected a preliminary injunction against Bow this spring, claiming the wristbands send a “demeaning and harassing” message to males who identify as girls and participate in girls’ sports.

Wednesday’s oral argument suggested the panel might buck the 1st Circuit’s reputation as a rubber stamp for schools on gender identity, frequently leaving Bow School District lawyer Jonathan Shirley seeming to stumble for answers that would satisfy their questions.

Another panel upheld a school district’s ban on a student wearing an “Only Two Genders” shirt because it “assertedly demeans characteristics of personal identity” even if done “passively, silently, and without mentioning any specific students.” Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas blasted their colleagues for not accepting that case.

One of Wednesday’s panel members, Judge Julie Rikelman, served on another that upheld a school district’s practice of hiding students’ identification as the opposite sex from their parents. President Biden nominated Rikelman, who argued to preserve federal abortion rights in Dobbs, a month after SCOTUS ruled against her abortion-clinic client.

The 1st Circuit was the only federal appeals court until recently without any active GOP-nominated judges, which Reuters reported has made its lower courts “magnets for lawsuits challenging Trump’s agenda by Democratic state attorneys general and advocacy groups.” The Senate confirmed President Trump nominee Joshua Dunlap on Tuesday.

Wednesday’s panel included two judges with senior status, meaning they are allowed to handle a reduced caseload compared to active judges: Jeffrey Howard, nominated by President George W. Bush, and Sandra Lynch, by President Clinton.
