And the last I saw, there are about 4% of the population that are not pure XX or XY.
The Olympics (like everyone else) should create a 3rd category where that 4% can compete. Pretty simple solution. It'll guarantee no cross gender competitions.
Every female gets a Gyno exam and a check (blood work) for hormone treatments that NO REAL FEMALE would have had.
Thought you all that support this BS would have learned by now that supporting the 4% over the 96% is a failure from the start.
The only other way to be sure is to have everyone compete naked. (not really, don't get pervy on me)

Why would you call another country a derogatory name? Why do you not think there is a problem with that? The world is a lovely place filled with beautiful people. Please take off your burnt-sienna glasses and go outside and enjoy the day. Life is to be loved. Stop disparaging other people you do not know.

But did it really? I suspect they are aware of the disdain Murikkkans hold towards anyone not a White Christian Nationalist.
Makes one wonder about your choice of an avatar depicting an American Indian in "White-face" because it projected power and strength. Some African tribes and the aborigines do that too.
President Trump lives in today's world while looking ahead, but, a short trip back to the 1700's for some common sense in policing and eliminating bad actors.
He may also be wondering if the right choices were made 80 yrs ago. Completely understandable considering. Makes one wonder what it would look like today if the USSR had been included in the formation of NATO.

Can some of the dems on here help get this ignoramus on the ticket in '28?

You had to RSVP to an unsent invitation to attend - the "No Bags, Signs or Guns" was a nice touch. 🤠
Makes one wonder how much this is costing the DEMS to support. No apparent ticket cost, road crew, roadies (for the bands) working 2x 18hr shifts, etc. Was it funded by Soros? (the irony of that boggles the mind)
And where does he stand ATM?
On February 21, the Times published an interview with Sanders under the headline “Bernie Sanders Isn’t Giving Up His Fight.” In it, Sanders advised the Democrats to recognize that “the system is broken, period. And you can’t patch it up a little here and a little there.”
Does he think the audience was going to be ok paying $2-4T more in taxes replacing what the "Oligarchs" usually cover? Ah Bernie, bless his heart.
At least he gets to hug the congressional "hottie" on stage.

The Alien Enemies Act was actually a federal law, it’s a statute, enacted by Congress and signed by a president.”
This simple statement means a single judge is trying to stop the highest law enforcement in the country and the president from enforcing the law, AFTER he'd taken the junket to an "Anti-Trump" event in Idaho. The law says exhibiting "Good Behavior" during his time on the bench.
He should be careful because there's also laws against sedition and treason and subversion.

In what world is 49.8% of votes cast a majority? This means that 50.2% of voters did not vote for the candidate. 50.2% is a majority. A 49.8% result is a minority. Harris' 48.3% result is a minority.
Dude, you need to contact the DNC and see if you can be a "Spin Doctor" for the '28 Harris/AOC ticket.
You really seem to believe that 49,8<48.3. Let's see if this helps: 49.8+48.3=98.1. That leaves 1.9 who voted for RFK (or other) even though he wasn't running.
The electoral college was 226(H)42% and 312(T)58% = majority.
https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/2024
By state: 16(H) and 34(T) = majority

Are ya seeing a pattern here? Big number good (majority), small number bad. (minority)

As a refresher:
The Soviet Union was composed of 15 constituent soviet socialist republics. Those were Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
Question is; How many of these countries has Russia attacked? Follow up question; How many European countries sent troops and arms to help?
Those who picked Georgia have short memories:
"The international reaction to Russia’s military campaign in Georgia was to prove remarkably muted, with Moscow suffering few negative consequences. On the contrary, EU leaders led calls for a ceasefire that appeared to favor Russian interests..."
Might be backing the wrong horse in this conflict. Interesting read.

now trump is trying to bully the world it ain’t gonna work and it will cause much misery for all and play rite into the plans for the bad actors.(in my humble opinion)it’s a sad time.
Have a beer, do some bongs and relax. It's gonna be alright.
https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/06/nato-5-percent-defense-spending-trump-russia-ukraine/
“To be honest, 2 percent is not nearly enough,” NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said in January. “To stay safe in the years to come, allies will need to spend considerably more.” His suggestion—a new minimum threshold of up to 3.7 percent—also came with a warning: “If you don’t do it, get your Russian-language courses or go to New Zealand.”
Trump's Five Percent Doctrine and NATO Defense Spending
"President Donald J. Trump is right to push US allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to do more for collective defense: The wolf is at the door in Ukraine."
"The US has been the world’s largest defense spender since the 1940s, tallying $880 billion in military spending in 2023[1] (3.36 percent of GDP), roughly double what China and Russia spent combined. NATO spent $1.28 trillion on defense in 2023, or about 54 percent of the global total (in constant dollars). Had all NATO members spent 5 percent of GDP on defense in 2023, their expenditures would have surpassed actual total global defense spending"
Had NATO and the EU made this a priority back in 2017, Russia MAY not have went after Ukraine. Peace through strength, what a concept.

Biden produced the highest growth since the late 1990s
To the untrained eye, Joe Biden leaves the presidency with what appears to be a sterling economic record: hiring proceeding at a solid clip, gross domestic product on the rise and consumers still spending at a strong pace.
There’s just one problem, and it is one that will forever taint Biden’s legacy, the one that sank him and his party politically and for which he will always be remembered.
“Inflation was two-and-a-half times higher under President Biden than it was under President Trump. That essentially was the key catalyst for the return to Trump’s policy, which was one of very good growth and low and stable inflation.”

France, however, has linked such a deal to fishing rights, further complicating negotiations. “Europe needs Britain’s defence industry a bit more than the French need a few extra fish,” a senior British government source said. “It is astonishing how puerile the French are behaving. They have not grasped the enormity of the moment.”
The French are planning ahead what with the newly unpurched stockpiles of wine and champagne and they know how much Russians love their caviar.
You know, just in case.

Yes, you do need a history lesson. Finland was invaded by the USSR or are you not old enough to remember them?

If you start a conversation with a threat (tarriffs in the situation with the EU, outright extortion in the case of Ukraine and bombings in the situation with the Iran), do not expect people to flock to you as friends.
If you want to create a beneficial situation to you by brute force instead of persuasion, you better have the might and endurance to see it through. That is why some call it bullying, and when those victims of the mobbing are finally able to smack the bully in the mouth, they are generally the ones cheered in the end.
This why the EU has many more sympathies compared to the US (outside of the US), and why there seems to be a sliver of understanding or even support for Iran in light of obviously superior powers ganging up subdue them.
Let's not make this a discusison if this is right or wrong (Iran is definitely not right here), but this is what is currently happening due to the inept threats and failed diplomacy in the Middle East.
This is no time for hurt feelings and wet panties. This also isn't the time for a meeting to set up a committee who will launch a study that will be sent to "An Expert Annalist" to review and write an opinion....

These judges are judging that orders from the administration may be illegal
Like the deportation of terrorists, gang members, illegals sucking on the taxpayer funded tit.
Like ruling that our military MUST remain DEI instead of defending the country with prejudice.
Like ordering the WH to restore waste, fraud and abuse by reopening USAID. (AND this is AFTER it was exposed)
The "List Of Lost Causes" and just blatant defiance because the troughs are drying up.
I'm sorry but I think ordering the US Government to continue the destruction of the country is wrong by any standards.
These judges are causing more countries to be nervous than tariffs are. Waiting and watching to see where the power lies.
In my opinion, No one but the SCOTUS should rule on anything coming from their counterparts.
Curious that ALL of these so-called "Legal Challenges" are coming with an accompanying "audition" video of dem relevance and insult hurling practice.

"What a difference a few yrs has made to today".
That is probably the truest thing you have said.
In those few years, the USA has lost, and is still losing under Trump, friends and allies that it cannot afford to lose, along with the respect of many countries, and the trust that it used to have as the leader of the free world.
The rest of the world will probably get along without the USA though sadly IMHO the USA won't be able to get along without the rest of the world.
I agree and disagree. For the past few decades we've only had 2-3 strong presidents. I include 45/47 as 1 of the strong ones BUT, as 45, he came in as purely a businessman and was attacked by a government machine "The likes nobody has ever seen before". If you completely remove emotion from the equation and do an analysis of the systematic attacks on "An Outsider" in the inter sanctum.
Surprise FBI visits, a smear campaign that extended across 9 yrs labeling him as everything evil, vile and imaginary, but is now driving citizens to him.
NONE of this is very calming to the world. I completely agree with the reciprocal tariffs push. Pretty much every current trade deal doesn't favor the US and as a businessman that's unacceptable. From my own personal experiences living in the states that a full tank of fuel costs about 20-ish% less than in 2024. Egg prices (blamed on President Trump) cost $7.98 in Jan 2025 and in just 2 months have dropped to $4.69.
As for your closer:
"The rest of the world will probably get along without the USA though sadly IMHO the USA won't be able to get along without the rest of the world."
This is what President Trump wants but NOT for the nefarious reasons being bantered about. He wants to make money for America yes (kind of part of the job) but he wants peace and prosperity for the good, controls in place for the bad and total annihilation of the ugly. If the EU and NATO were capable of backing a strong play without waiver, we could eliminate the ugly in a yr. JMHO

The Obama Administration had some people who understood the world. The current POTUS does not.
The JCPOA was working just fine. Iran---having learned US cyber capabilities when it was hobbled by Stuxnet---made a choice to give up nuke development. Enrichment reactors were filled with cement. High speed centrifuges---smashed via the Stuxnet worm---were abandoned. Inspectors were allowed to go anywhere at anytime to check if Iran was in compliance. Via HUMINT and SIGINT, the agency reported every six months on Iran's compliance. The Iran nuke program halted 100% (despite Netayanhu trying a cover op and releasing Iran nuke documents from 2003).
He canceled it because it was being enforced worse that "Prohibition" was. Especially when Biden released them from sanctions. A couple of interesting reads if you care to. Makes one wonder how deep this stuff went for money.

NY – Court Blocks Non-Citizens from Voting in Municipal Elections
"New York City’s attempt to allow non-citizens to vote in municipal elections was recently terminated by the highest court in New York State. In a 6-1 decision, the high court stated that “the New York constitution as it stands today draws a firm line restricting voting to citizens.”
Who cannot vote?

Congress Approves Civil Rights Act of 1957
An article from CQ Almanac 1957
"One of the notable features of the 1956 election was the movement of Negro votes into the Republican column. Republicans and northern Democrats alike interpreted the returns to mean that the Negro vote, safely Republican from Reconstruction days to 1928, and later, during the New Deal, overwhelmingly Democratic, currently could not be considered the exclusive property of either party. Rather, Negroes were weighing the performance of both parties, especially in the field of civil rights. Republican candidates scored heavily in the 1956 campaign by contrasting President Eisenhower's initiative in the civil rights field with the lack of performance by the Democratic-controlled 84th Congress."
Interesting use of language. Still don't find anything that includes non-citizens being allowed to vote.
Been this way in the US since the 1700's without challenge. The USofA belongs to US citizens only! IF you don't fight for it, you're fighting against it PERIOD! 🤠
