The elites of the left know what they are doing.Want a fractured divided society which makes it easier to win electrons.
The foolish liberals follow them blindly even when the elites are pushing a real absurdity.

I wonder why they are not pushing for trans right in mma and boxing? 🤔

Or they are selecting sport to promote their foolish agenda? 🤔

A second former NBA player is declaring himself eligible for the WNBA

Royce White saying
"I'm transgender. I identify, sometimes, as a woman, for purposes of basketball."

White is 6'8 and 260 pounds.

Critics say he would dominate the WNBA

"I'll be declaring for the 2027 WNBA draft."

He joins Enes Kanter Freedom

The WNBA now has three choices:

🟥Deny he's a woman - which would mean they'd have to k ow what a woman is

🟥Say only women are allowed in the WNBA

Or

🟥Allowed to takeover their league
.

What do you think they will do?

11 season ex NBA player declares he wants to join WNBA.
Hilarious. He gets support from across those pushing for exclusive women sports and washrooms.
If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.

'My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027


Liberalism is akin to madness.

Most times you guys just ramble with no thought behind your ears. Research funding is never decided by one single person unless it’s an executive decision like the president has decided that black women’s ailments do not deserve to be researched.
Funding passes through layers of bureaucracy. Fauci who declared himself the science, as director he had a huge say . His word was likely law having served as director for decades
.Don't twist yourself into a pretzel defending him.
I
Outside of that, research grants go through layers and bodies of approvals before they’re granted whether Fauci is the head of the institution or not.

And to show that you guys don’t understand science, you think researching a virus is a criminal offense.
I believe that's true. .
I said I'll defend Fauci while not defending him but I've not had the time. We are not ignorant , vaccines and drugs take decades to get approval.
Do you know how many medications you take today that were made available because of research on viruses and bacteria? It’s so steupid the way conservative ideals have robbed all of you of any common sense and ability to think about anything outside of elementary level black and white designations.

As we speak, research is ongoing on many many many viruses and bacteria. One day, another cure for a chronic condition will be developed and you guys will benefit from it without knowing the background work that went into it. But in the meantime stay online and villainize the people who spent their lives making sure you’re safe behind your raggedy keyboards.
Largely agree
Malaria, bilharzia, smallpox,etc took that route.
Covid didn't take that route though that's where you are 100% wrong. If you think you are right tell me why the virus in the bats is so different from the virus in the humans Why no bat has ever been produced with a similar gehetical makeup of the virus.
The little I know about you is that you won't answer that because no scientist has ever answered it ,strictly that question is beyond you.

Ebola, they isolated the exact source HIV they claim to have two near perfect matches of the chimpanzees COVID.Nothing, jusnat a similar virus that they claim mutated once it jumped I to the humans..

Questions that were raised about covid still remain unanswered by Fauci He gets a pardon as though whatver he did with covid had an element if crime.

The far left wants to shape America into a liberal heaven. They are secret socialists who take the usual path to achieve power. Their greatest impediment is a united conservative block that's mostly christian in the western world. Marxism bans religion.

DSA and the far left being socialists need Islam to suppress Christianity. They go to bed with Muslims. Socialism appeals to esp the government dependent citizens who are promised freebies from money obtained by taxing the billionaires. Majority of citizens are happy to re-chant tax the 1% more.

What they ( DSA) don't know is that Islam is expansionist.Muslim Brotherhood stated goal is bringing down the west and installing sharia.
The Muslims in the DSA are only using them to entrench Islam. While DSA is courting the MB ,they are too stupid to realize the Mamdani,the El Sayed,the Rashida Tlaib etc have a stated different goal and it's not socialism.



Iyobaba:
There are reports indicating that the DSA is in bed with the Muslim brotherhood, a terrorist organization banneld even in Saudi Arabia.

If the US as a country is going to crumble, it'll definitely happen from within.

I have never seen a bunch people hate their country and what it stands for this much like Americans.

2) you think your friend Ben has anything worthwhile to say that any serious minded person would consider?

It’s like the movie characters dumb and dumber, circle jacking each other thinking they’re doing something profound.
Stop being impervious to opposing thought.A broken clock is right twice a day. Bens post is 100% accurate.

Fauci as head of NIAD and a lead researcher with several patents to his name directly controlled where funds for research would go..It was your money that helped engineer the virus . That should make you mad .
I'll write a post defending Fauci whole mig defending him.

benalvino:
It sounds like you have not been following this topic at all.

This was not simply a case of a scientist getting something wrong. He knew what he was doing.

He concealed information, people around him discussed destroying conversations so there would be no trace, and efforts were made to discredit or go after those who questioned him.

He supported blanket policies, worked around concerns about gain-of-function research to keep funding it, and was accepting awards while people were dying, even pressuring organizations to honour him.

He lied to remove any culpability for the creation of the virus. He constantly deflected from lab leaks while in his private email he said it's from the lab.

The issue is not that he made a mistake; the issue is the xoncealment, evasion of oversight and misleading testimony.

Nobody is saying scientists should be jailed whenever a theory fails. But when someone knowingly conceals evidence, evades oversight or lies under oath, that is no longer scientific error. That is misconduct.

He himself had complications from the vaccine and hid it. He is behind the vaccine mandate that destroyed people's career. All these why seeing himself as the greatest celebrity.
Cococandy . This reply by benalvino aptly explains why Dr Fauci should face the worst form of punishment ever designed by men .
Fauci funded the research that turned a virus carried by bats into being able to infect humans. The modified virus was made more potent ,more deadly and more capable of spreading. The release be it accidental or deliberate killed millions around the world not forgetting the shutdowns.

It is clear why you people are MAGA. You hate facts, truth and reality. So studies and research can show systemic and institutional racism but you people will still deny it. Please, why are your anecdotes more important than professional research?

You need some schooling.
If you take 1 million of every race and calculate the percentage of those who have ever been indicted ,the race that scores higher has a larger per capita crime rate.

Really? Blacks commit more crimes per capita? Lies and misconceptions. That is only true for murder and robbery (and we know the reasons why). This is not true for specific crimes such as-

Clay Travis, the conservative media personality and founder of OutKick, has officially offered $10 million for a head-to-head "battle of the sexes" basketball game between the reigning WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces and a boys' high school state championship team of his choice.

Travis announced on Monday, August 3rd, that he is putting up $10 million. If the Las Vegas Aces win, they receive the money (which equates to nearly a third of their estimated $33 million annual revenue). If the high school boys win, the $10 million will be distributed among their team members.

The proposed matchup would be broadcast on pay-per-view. Travis states that all profits generated from the broadcast would be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to support families of fallen soldiers and first responders.

It was Lenin who said the goal of socialism is eventual communism.

According to Vladimir Lenin's 1917 book, The State and Revolution, society transitions through distinct phases after a capitalist system is overthrown:

1. Socialism (The Lower Stage): The working class seizes control of the state and the economy. Wealth is distributed based on the principle: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his work." The state still exists to manage society and prevent a capitalist counter-revolution.

2 Communism (The Higher Stage): Once class distinctions completely disappear and abundance is achieved, the state naturally "withers away." Society then operates on the ultimate principle: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

Therefore, Lenin viewed socialism as a necessary, temporary transition period whose sole purpose is to build the economic and social foundation required to achieve true communism.

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/08/02/democratic-socialists-america-platform/91092595007/

The DSA campaign recently released goals.
Abolish the U.S. Senate to transition into a unicameral legislature.

Abolish the Electoral College and replace it with a national popular vote.

Strip power from the Presidency by making the executive branch chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

Strip power from the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) by replacing it with a judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

Expand the House of Representatives to establish a multi-party parliamentary system.

Extend voting rights to all permanent residents, noncitizens, and individuals with criminal convictions.

Implement ranked-choice votng across all elections nationwide.

Ban lobbyists and "dark money" from the political campaign system.

What fallout?

Black women are some of the most educated demographic per capita out of all ethnicities in America.
Yet they get paid less than their counterparts of similar qualifications. Due to….wait for it….✨ racism✨
I would think Asian women are more educated than black women.
There is inherent racism in everyone. A white employer will likely want to pay a black less than the white or Asian . Black employers would also prefer to pay fellow blacks more if they can get away with it.

Black Americans do not commit more crimes that other groups. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. And any “skewedness” in statistics is because of negative racial profiling by law enforcement like we have already established. If you ignore the crimes of one community and focus on another, it makes sense that you will find more criminals among the group you’re focused on.
I would expect poorer people to be more prone to commit crimes. Ass in the lack of father figures, mentors and heroes to look upto.
Police deployment in affluent neighbourhoods is therefore likely less than in less affluent where minorities live. More police, more contacts and more arrests.

Black people do not kill each other more than white people do. They do not do as much or more drugs than any other demographic.
I beg to disagree. Data shows more black murders per capita among the black population. Most murders are intra racial,more blacks likely to murder blacks and more whites murdering each other. Overall the per capita racial data among blacks is the highest. You can thank the rap and gang culture for that
The fallout only exists in biased conservative media outlets. Stop accepting information from them. It doesn’t matter how good black people become, you will never hear anything good about them from racist people.

You have to let go of the notion that black people are worse than any other group in America.
Black people are just like any other. You can blame the entrenchment of welfare favourable to single parenthood. If a single parent can get say $5000 a month in benefits why bother getting a husband . That family breakdown as discussed here previously , to me is the main reason why black crime is quite rampant.
