DEMOCRACY: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson Backs Effort to Ignore the Will of the People on Barring Men From Female Sports

The state of Washington voted last week to bar biological men from competing in female sports. The measure won in 36 out of 39 counties, so it was a very decisive win.

And yet Katie Wilson, the mayor of Seattle, is now siding with leftists who want to override the measure, completely ignoring the will of the people. These are the same people who are always talking about their sacred devotion to democracy.

When things don’t go their way, suddenly democracy doesn’t matter.

FOX News reports:

Seattle mayor backs effort to block girls’ sports initiative that passed in 36 of Washington’s 39 counties

The statement was 148 words. Not one of those words was “girls.”

Tuesday, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said that she was going to back the Seattle School Board’s unanimous vote to pursue legal action against Initiative 638 — which would enforce separation of boys and girls in K-12 sports in Washington state.

Voters passed the measure by a 13-point margin last week, and it won in 36 of the Evergreen State’s 39 counties. But after deliberating behind closed doors Monday, the Seattle School Board voted publicly to authorize potential legal action against the measure without hearing public testimony. And the mayor fully approves…

Remember, Seattle was one of the epicenters of the “No Kings” movement, where tens of thousands rallied against a president they accused of disregarding the will of the people. Yet when Washington voters overwhelmingly supported a measure Wilson opposes, she had no problem backing an effort to overturn it. Apparently, the will of the people is only worth defending when the people vote the right way.

Capping off Wilson’s statement was a paragraph of political platitudes so empty it would make even a seasoned politician blush. She wants to build a Seattle “where all young people can thrive as their authentic selves,” and “create inclusive learning environments where every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.”

Democrat Doublespeak: A Dangerous Deception

The term “newspeak” comes from George Orwell’s 1984, a novel that highlighted a tyrannical regime’s intentional use of ambiguous speech to prevent people from being able to think critically, until they are brainwashed into believing that 2+2=5.

Was that merely the far-fetched idea of a novel? Not remotely, when you have brainwashed ideas like Brooklyn College professor Laurie Rubel thinking math “reeks of white supremacy,” and Seattle Public School’s “re-humanizing math” curriculum stating, “Who gets to say an answer is right?”

But from Orwell’s newspeakers, the modern left has branched out.

“What is really important in the world of doublespeak [emphasis added] is the ability to lie, whether knowingly or unconsciously, and to get away with it; and the ability to use lies and choose and shape facts, blocking out those that don’t fit an agenda or program,” according to Edward Herman in his book, “Beyond Hypocrisy.”

Adolf Hitler’s propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, stated the concepts of doublespeak a bit more succinctly when he said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it,” for that is how it works.

The Democrat party members have become masters at such manipulation, psychologically influencing their audiences as they push their socialist agenda. A classic example is Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), who at a recent rally for More Perfect University, a progressive campus organization, used doublespeak to support “trans rights” and men in women’s sports. AOC explained, “What’s so important for everyone to understand is that the moment you try to compromise the rights of a trans person in America, you compromise the rights of every citizen in America.” Illogical nonsense!

What a ridiculous false statement for which AOC received “massive, auditorium-wide applause.” AOC states that if you are against men competing in girls’ sports and stealing their trophies and scholarships, if you are against men injuring women in women’s sports, if you are against men in women’s dressing rooms, if you are against men in women’s showers, if you want to protect your daughter from being forced to have a male roommate in college, then you are compromising the rights of every citizen in America.

Then AOC continued saying,

Our basic rights shouldn’t have to matter. [Rights] don’t matter who you are, what you do. You have those rights guaranteed by being an American citizen. Point blank. Period.

Again, AOC’s remarks brought thunderous applause, yet her statement is another untrue word salad of nonsensical doublespeak.

The basic rights to which AOC is speaking are our inalienable (God-given) rights, recognized by the U.S. Constitution; yet these rights do not allow for men to have access to women’s spaces. AOC is a Democrat Socialist and the godless Democrat Socialist of America platform clearly states its plan to destroy the U.S. Constitution, abolish the presidency, abolish the Supreme Court, claiming to replace it with “A Real Democracy.” It is going to be “doublethink” in itself; how can a Democrat Socialist take the oath of office and swear to uphold the U.S. Constitution he plans to destroy?

Now are you ready for AOC’s crowning doublespeak? AOC exclaimed, “I support the rights of trans women because I’m a girl’s girl.” Horse-poo!

Parents win settlement after being punished for protesting ‘transgender’ male

A New Hampshire school district will shell out $275,000 to settle a lawsuit after it punished family members of a soccer player for wearing “XX” wristbands during a game.

The settlement also affirms the rights of spectators to quietly protest during games.

“Plaintiffs have a First Amendment right to silently wear pink wristbands bearing the XX symbol on the sidelines, in the spectator’s area, or in the parking lot of any Bow District sporting event,” the declaratory judgement states.

The school district also acknowledged that it “violated Plaintiffs’ First Amendment rights when it barred Plaintiffs from wearing the wristbands at the girls’ varsity soccer game on September 17, 2024.”

Controversy erupted after the plaintiffs, who included the parents and a grandparent, chose to wear the wristbands at a game two years ago. The family members did not interrupt the game, harass the gender-confused player, or otherwise cause a disturbance.

Still, school officials stepped in to violate the family members’ First Amendment rights.

As the Institute for Free Speech explained:

School officials, accompanied by a police officer, confronted them. The referee halted play until one spectator removed his wristband, and school officials later issued trespass orders barring [the plaintiffs] from school grounds, preventing them from attending their children’s games and other school activities for a time.

While First Amendment jurisprudence does allow for school district officials to regulate speech when it could cause a “material disruption,” attorneys failed to argue that the spectators were causing trouble.

Prison inmate wins $150K in unanimous verdict after being housed with trans cellmate who allegedly sexually assaulted her

A former prison inmate has won a federal civil rights case against the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC), which she accused of forcing her to room with a biological male who assaulted her, according to her lawyer.

Mozzy Clark said in a lawsuit initially filed in U.S. District Court in Tacoma in December 2024 that corrections officers did not take her seriously when she complained that a transgender-identifying inmate who had been transferred from a men’s prison had been harassing her. Her lawyer, David Pivtorak, announced that a jury unanimously awarded her $150,000 in the case.

“A unanimous federal jury in deep-blue Tacoma just awarded my client $150,000 for violation of her constitutional rights in this case,” the lawyer wrote.

“We are also scheduled to go to trial in February against the Department of Corrections in state court on her negligence claims,” he added.

Kraków Gunman Appears to Have Been an LGBT Leftist, According to His Social Media

Poland’s left-leaning Tusk government and international media labeled Kraków gunman Michał Oksiński far-right, but prosecutors found no evidence of a right-wing affiliation, while images circulating on X from deleted Facebook accounts attributed to him appear to show him posing with an LGBT Pride flag and mocking the pope.

On Nov. 7, Michał Oksiński, 24, drove a Subaru onto Kraków’s Main Market Square and opened fire at random, killing six people and wounding 15. Police officers Jakub Kulik and Artur Morański chased him from the square, and both were shot in the exchange of fire. Kulik, hit three times, approached the gunman, fired, and stopped him, then applied a tourniquet to his own arm. The dead included an Austrian woman and a British man. It was Poland’s deadliest shooting since the fall of communism in 1989.

Before driving to Kraków, Oksiński shot his father Janusz, 53, his mother Renata, 52, and his sister Magdalena, 21, a painting student at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts, in the family flat in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, according to investigators. Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek said Oksiński faced a separate murder charge over those killings, bringing the total number killed to nine. Investigators found two AR-15 rifles, two pistols and several hundred rounds of ammunition in his car and on his person. In all, they seized 11 firearms. Oksiński died in hospital on Nov. 9 after three operations.

‘Gayest’ Member of Congress Robert Garcia Compares Himself to Murderous Clown Who Targets Children

Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) thought it would be wise to compare himself to Pennywise, the fictional character in Stephen King’s horror novel It, to showcase how “low” he is willing to go against his opponents.

Garcia, who once described himself as the “gayest” member of Congress, made the “joke” days after the midterm elections, posting an image of the character with the caption, “when they go low this is me.”

Commenters on X were quick to point to the creepy absurdity of comparing oneself to a murderous entity presented as a clown who targets and terrorizes children, luring them into a sewer to eat them, feeding on their fear

“So, you’re a murderous clown waiting to take school age boys to a sewer… and we thought Swalwell was a perv,” one user wrote.

“The most honest thing coming out of the Democrat Party… A self proclaimed demonic clown!” another proclaimed.

“You become a clown that preys on children?” another asked. “That tracks.”

“Feels like you guys didn’t think this one through,” another said.

Indeed, Garcia made his declaration during an appearance at the LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference last year, telling the crowd, “I am one of 12 LGBTQ+ members of the U.S. House right now, but I am the gayest of all of us.”

He added, “I do consider myself the absolute gayest.”

Garcia’s failed attempt at humor in the form of Pennywise comes as some begin to realize that the Democrats may not be prioritizing quite what they said they would as they come into power. For instance, the Congressional Equality Caucus last week opted to celebrate what they described as the “Gayest Congress in American History” after the Democrat Party’s sweep of wins across the country in the midterm election.

“The American people have made their voices heard,” the Equality Caucus wrote on social media, with a photo of a rainbow behind the U.S. Capitol Dome. “The 120th Congress will officially be the GAYEST Congress in history! (that we know of).”

“Let’s get to work,” the leftists added, adding emojis of the American flag, LGBT flag, and transgender flag.

Crazy Dem Rep. Robert Garcia Raises Eyebrows as He Reveals THE REAL REASON Why He Wants to Go After the Trump Administration

The Democratic Party’s loudest mouth in recent days has inadvertently made a damning admission that is sparking online attention.

As TGP readers know, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, wasted little time threatening the Trump administration following his party’s victories in last Tuesday’s midterm elections.

“LAWYER UP,” Garcia wrote on X, signaling that Democrats are preparing an aggressive campaign of congressional investigations against President Donald Trump and his senior officials.

Garcia, who is poised to chair the powerful Oversight Committee when Democrats take control of the House in January, has already been preparing investigations into the president, his family and his administration.

This is even though he cannot name a single crime that new Chief of Staff Stephen Miller or other Trump officials have committed.

Now, viral footage has emerged showing Garcia, a gay man originally from Peru, making a revealing remark at Crooked Con over the weekend that shows why he actually wants to try to get Team Trump.

“We can’t forget about these folks that are causing harm,” Garcia told the Crooked Con audience. “Maybe it’s because I’m gay, but pettiness is a thing.”

“We’re not going to forget these crimes.” I’m mad, you know.”

‘Gay pettiness.’ That’s definitely a new one and very insulting to the gay community.

Brazil arrests woman over disputed remarks about trans colleague, citing racism law

Military Police in Indaial, Santa Catarina, Brazil, arrested a 48-year-old woman at her workplace on Monday, November 2, on suspicion of transphobia, after a 28-year-old supervisor who identifies as a woman complained about remarks concerning use of the women’s bathroom.

Officers gave her “voz de prisão” (a verbal order of arrest) around 7 a.m. in the Benedito neighbourhood and took her to the Civil Police in Blumenau. What she said is in dispute.

The two sides disagree on what was said. According to the supervisor, the woman called the colleague “um homem vestido de mulher” (our translation: “a man dressed as a woman”). According to the woman, she “só disse que a líder era uma pessoa transgênero” (our translation: “only said the leader was a transgender person”).

The headline of local station RC FM quotes the words “Você não deveria estar aqui” (our translation: “You should not be here”). The page does not say who actually spoke them.

The case was registered “em tese” (provisionally) as transphobia under Brazil’s racism law. The Supreme Federal Court extended that law to homophobia and transphobia in 2019, by 8 votes to 3.

Article 20 of the law sets a penalty of “reclusão de um a três anos e multa” (our translation: one to three years’ imprisonment and a fine) for practising, inducing or inciting discrimination or prejudice.

One outlet, Portal RBV, gives a range of one to five years. The law’s text says one to three.

An arrest is not a conviction.

Reduxx, an English-language outlet, also reported the case. Witnesses reportedly declined to give statements, and no camera footage was reported.

No officer or police chief is named in any report, and the person who decided to record the case as transphobia has not been identified.

It is also not known whether she has been released, or whether a formal arrest in the act (flagrante) was recorded. One outlet says she was arrested “em flagrante,” and others do not use the term.

Four States Have Voted to Kick Men Out of Women’s Sports — Including Deep-Blue Washington and Colorado

Voters in four states have approved ballot measures restricting transgender athletes from competing on girls’ teams.

The measures passed in Washington, Colorado, Arizona, and Nebraska.

The results in deep blue Washington and Colorado are particularly notable following an election in which Democrats made major gains nationally.

In Washington, voters approved Initiative 638 with more than 56 percent of the vote.

The measure requires participation on girls’ school sports teams to be based on biological sex and requires healthcare-provider verification for students seeking to compete on female teams.

Colorado voters also approved Proposition 134, with roughly 52 percent supporting the measure.

San Francisco Snubs Pelosi’s Pick For A Radical With Creepy Legislative Record

San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan (D-CA) conceded the race for the city’s open congressional seat to state Sen. Scott Wiener on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, handing the seat Rep. Nancy Pelosi held for decades to the candidate she did not endorse. Pelosi, the former House speaker, backed Chan and campaigned for her in the closing stretch of the race. Chan announced the result in a statement her campaign released Wednesday.

“After reviewing the results and the ballots remaining to be counted, while we expect the margin to narrow significantly, we do not have a clear path to victory,” Chan said. “I congratulate Scott Wiener on his election and wish him success in serving San Francisco.”

The concession ends a costly, bitter contest for a seat Pelosi seemed reluctant to give up for years, despite rumors of retirement. The race also served as a test of Pelosi’s influence in the city she represented since 1987. She and many of her House allies lined up behind Chan, and the voters chose Wiener anyway.

The rift between Pelosi and Wiener dates to October 2025. Many in local politics had viewed Wiener as Pelosi’s likely successor, but he launched his campaign that month while she was still technically a candidate for reelection. According to reports at the time, the move offended her. Pelosi reportedly wanted Wiener to hold off until after the vote on Proposition 50, the California redistricting referendum on the November 2025 ballot, and saw his announcement as a distraction from that. Pelosi announced her retirement shortly after voters approved the measure.

Wiener’s legislative record includes a series of far-left bills on LGBTQ issues, criminal justice, and public health that drew opposition from parents’ rights groups and law enforcement advocates during his tenure.

In 2017, Wiener authored SB 239, which Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) signed. The law reduced the penalty for intentionally exposing another person to HIV from a felony to a misdemeanor. In 2020, Wiener authored SB 132, which required California prisons to house inmates according to their gender identity, including placing male inmates who identify as women in women’s facilities, unless officials cite management or security concerns. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed it into law.

That same year, Wiener authored SB 145, which gave judges discretion to waive mandatory sex offender registration for adults convicted of certain sexual offenses involving minors ages 14 to 17, provided the offender is no more than 10 years older than the minor. The measure weakened existing safeguards surrounding the legal consequences of sexual conduct with underage teens. Wiener defended the bill as an effort to end discrimination against LGBTQ young people.

Wiener also authored SB 107, which Newsom signed in 2022. The law gives California courts temporary emergency jurisdiction over custody disputes involving children who are in the state to receive gender transition care, and bars enforcing conflicting out-of-state orders, even when a parent objects. That same year, Wiener introduced SB 866, which would have allowed children 12 and older to get vaccines without parental consent; it was later amended to age 15. Wiener pulled the bill in August 2022 before an Assembly vote, saying it lacked the votes.

Wiener also co-authored AB 957, Assemblymember Lori Wilson’s 2023 bill. It would have required judges in custody disputes to consider whether a parent affirms a child’s gender identity as part of evaluating the child’s health, safety, and welfare. Newsom vetoed the measure.

He also co-authored SB 94, Sen. Dave Cortese’s bill, which would have let some people sentenced to death or life without parole for crimes before 1990 petition for resentencing after serving at least 25 years. The bill died in 2024.
