One of the first Republican female immigrants in the U.S. House of Representatives, Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz, who emigrated from Ukraine, took an implicit shot at President Biden, noting that she is a naturalized American who has been to the southern border of the United States three times, and despite the various crises that plague the nation during the Biden presidency, the greatest crisis is the border situation, pointing out it “poses a risk to our sovereignty as nation.”
Spartz <a href="https://grabien.com/story.php?id=364985?utm_source=cliplist&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=cliplist20220125&amp;utm_content=story364985">stated</a>:
<blockquote>I know that we have talk a lot about different crises. And we do have a lot of crises. We have economic crisis; we have inflation crisis; we have energy cost crisis; we have supply chain crisis; we have education crisis; we have crime crisis; we have Covid response crisis; we have health care crisis; we have foreign relations and security crisis; we have freedom of speech crisis, we have centralized government and infringement on our rights crisis.</blockquote>
“But I think there is one crisis that is very disturbing and concerning to me as a naturalized American who immigrated to this great country,” she continued. “I went to the border three times. And what I saw it’s lawlessness, it&#8217;s issue of national security, it&#8217;s anarchy and it is a crisis that poses a risk to our sovereignty as nation. And we can see what&#8217;s happening in the country. Drug cartels are controlling the border. They control drug trafficking and making billions on that. We have the highest deaths from overdoses in our country that ever existed. Our kids are dying and they are making a lot of money. The border is open. No one can control it. It poses risk to our national security.”
“I hope we all, as Americans who care about our country, and our president, at least are dealing with one of the crises, because it’s a serious issue and we cannot disregard it: the national security of this greatest country that ever existed on earth and put our people at risk,” she asserted. “It is our responsibility as representatives in this republic to stand up, regardless of political affiliation, and raise this issue as our duty to the American people.”
Last August, Spartz <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/congresswoman-who-grew-up-in-socialist-country-rips-biden-his-policies-underline-socialist-system/">ripped President Biden</a>, saying his policies had “underlined” the policies of the socialist system.
In an exclusive interview, <a href="https://cnsnews.com/article/washington/elisabeth-nieshalla/exclusive-rep-spartz-lot-bidens-policies-have-underlined">CNS News</a> asked Spartz, “Do you think President Joe Biden, in his policies, is a socialist? Or how would you describe his policies?”
“Well, I think there are two ways, and, you know, people kind of use words, there are two economic systems, right, one system where the decision done by stakeholders in the market, by private enterprise, free enterprise system,” Spartz answered. “We exchange transaction, and we decide, right, what you’re going to buy, and you decide what you’re going to pay and we come to an agreement. We have this arms-length transaction. Another system where decisions are more centralized and made by the government.”
“You know, that is what socialist system is about,” she continued. “Government &#8230; intervenes in making a lot of decision and providing, you know, really, you know, the centralized, you know, power, accumulation of centralized power. So if you look about that, you know, I mean, great example, you know, all of the price controls, wage controls — when the government decide what is gonna be paid in the market, when the government decide what prices are going to be, when the government start controlling assets and talking about public option insurance company, government owns assets. Actually, by pure definition of socialism by Karl Marx, when governments start owning assets and owning companies it is the definition of socialism. When government make this decision for you instead of you, you know, that is actually the definition of socialism.”
“So a lot of his policy have underlined, you know, the policy of socialist system,” she charged. “You know, so I think it’s unfortunate that the system that failed in a lot of countries — it took Soviet Union 70 years to fail — you know, now is being promoted in our country because its centralized government and decision making never works out. You know, I think Margaret Thatcher said until you run out of money it works, right? Because you do. And you see what’s happening in countries like Venezuela, you know, you can see what’s happening in countries like Cuba, you know. These are countries — they have resources, you know, they have good people out there, the system is just rotten from inside, and it’s unfortunate that we promote some of them.”

Virginia GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin has implemented a tip line for parents to report teachers that teach subjects considered “divisive.”
Youngkin <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqmpwXiji0c">stated</a> on the “John Fredericks Show”:
<blockquote>We have set up a particular e-mail address, called <a href="mailto:helpeducation@governor.virginia.gov\">helpeducation@governor.virginia.gov</a>. For parents to send us any instances where they feel that their fundamental rights are being violated, where their children are not being respected, where there are inherently divisive practices in their schools. We’re asking for input right from parents to make sure we can go right to the source as we continue to work to make sure that Virginia’s education system is on the path to reestablish excellence. At the end of the day, we are going to raise standards. We are going to have the largest education budget in the history of Virginia; we are going to raise teacher pay; we are going to invest in facilities; we are going to invest in special education for kids with disabilities; we’re going to get Critical Race Theory and other divisive teaching practices out of the schools, and we’re going to press forward on our charter school agenda big-time. This is what I ran on and this is what we are going to work every day to make happen.</blockquote>
Youngkin continued, “We&#8217;re asking for folks to send us reports and observations that they have that will help us be aware of things like ‘privileged bingo,&#8217; be aware of their child being denied their rights that parents have in Virginia, and we&#8217;re going to make sure that we catalogue it all. And that gives us a greater insight into what’s happening at the school level and that gives us further, further ability to make sure we&#8217;re rooting it out.”
“We all know this: that parents have a fundamental right in Virginia to make decisions with regard to their kids’ education, their upbringing and their care,” Youngkin asserted. “There is no one better positioned to look after the health and well-being of their child than their parents. &#8230; If there&#8217;s one thing that hopefully everybody heard in November it&#8217;s that it is time to listen to parents.”
Responding to school districts that have balked at his executive order allowing parents to make decisions on whether their child wears a mask in school, Youngkin stated, “Is it a surprise that some of these school systems &#8230; aren’t recognizing the rights of parents today? Oh, by the way, they haven’t been recognizing the rights of parents all along. And so I’m not surprised at all to hear these reactions from school boards that have consistently prioritized bureaucrats and politicians over the rights of parents.”
Youngkin stated on his <a href="https://www.governor.virginia.gov/news-releases/2022/january/name-924074-en.html">website</a>: “I have said all along that we are going to stand up for parents. Executive Order 2 is not about pro-masks versus anti-mask, it’s about empowering parents. I am confident that the Virginia Supreme Court will rule in the favor of parents, reaffirming the parental rights clearly laid out in the Virginia code § 1-240.1. In the meantime, I urge all parents to listen to their principal, and trust the legal process. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at <a href="mailto:helpeducation@governor.virginia.gov">helpeducation@governor.virginia.gov</a>.”
Youngkin spokesperson Macaulay Porter has stated regarding the blowback to Youngkin’s executive order, “The governor and attorney general are in coordination and are committed to aggressively defending parents´ fundamental right to make decisions with regard to their child´s upbringing, education and care, as the legal process plays out.”

Virginia Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Glenn Youngkin Holds Election Night Rally

Youngkin Sets Up Tip Line For Parents To Report Teachers Using ‘Divisive’ Practices

Critical Race Theory

Glenn Youngkin

Speaking on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg attacked HBO host Bill Maher for mocking what he called the &#8220;mask-paranoid world.” Goldberg snapped, “This is not something we’re doing because it’s sexually gratifying.” Co-host Sara Haines chimed in, “I think there’s a prudence we’ve learned with the mask,” adding, “I may never ride a subway again without a mask.”
Goldberg introduced a clip of Maher from his show saying, “Over the weekend Bill Maher made a case for people who are vaccinated, boosted, and had been following the rules since all of this started.”
The clip showed Maher asserting, “I don’t want to live in your paranoid world anymore, your mask-paranoid world. You know, you go out, it’s silly now. You mask; you have to have a card; you have to have a booster; they scan your head like you’re a cashier and I’m a bunch of bananas. I’m not bananas; you are.”
Goldberg ranted, “That’s not really funny to people who’ve lost their kids to this vaccine or people who have lost family members &#8230; listen, nobody on the planet really wants to go through this. This is not something we’re doing because it’s sexually gratifying. This is what we’re doing to protect our families. And you don’t have to do it, but stay away from everybody, because if you are the one who’s not paying attention and you’re coughing and sneezing, then stay out of the public, man. Nobody wants this. I don’t want it. And I think he&#8217;s forgetting people are still at risk who cannot get vaccinated, little kids under the age of five or people with health conditions. How dare you be so flippant, man?”
“I think there’s a prudence we’ve learned with the mask, with the hand sanitizing, that, kind of 9/11 with flying, is always going to be here now,” Haines opined. “There’s a new normal. In the beginning, at post 9/11, people didn’t want to fly, and the security measures felt like, ‘Uhhh &#8230; how do we do this?’ And now it’s the norm. I think some of the things we’ve learned in this pandemic are going to stay the same. I may never ride a subway again without a mask. I may never go indoors to big crowds and ever feel comfortable without a mask. And that’s up to me to do that.”
“What I think is changing, though, are some of the things that are happening in treating this virus as it is right now, as we did in 2020 and 2021, because this Omicron variant, one interesting statistic is: if you’re vaccinated and boosted, the deaths are now equal to the people dying of the flu each year,” Haines acknowledged. “So people who are vaccinated and boosted and are being prudent, we need to learn how to coexist with this lesser variant. Highly transmissible but much less severe.”

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Times published an <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2022-01-23/damon-albarn-blur-gorillaz">interview</a> with Damon Albarn, the lead singer of Blur, in which he asserted bluntly of pop icon Taylor Swift, “She doesn’t write her own songs.”
That precipitated an avalanche of criticism, starting with Swift herself, who <a href="https://twitter.com/taylorswift13/status/1485714267269738498?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1485714267269738498%7Ctwgr%5Ehb_1_8%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.dailywire.com%2F%3Fp%3D334212preview_id%3D334212preview_nonce%3Dec1f19a749_thumbnail_id%3D334217preview%3Dtrue">tweeted</a>:
<blockquote>I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. I write ALL of my own songs. Your hot take is completely false and SO damaging. You don&#8217;t have to like my songs but it&#8217;s really f***ed up to try and discredit my writing. WOW. 
&#8230; PS I wrote this tweet all by myself in case you were wondering.</blockquote>
The Times’ pop music critic, Mikael Wood, had asked Albarn, “You think a lot of modern musicians are relying on sound and attitude?”
“Name me someone who’s not,” Albarn replied.
Wood persisted, “She may not be to your taste, but Taylor Swift is an excellent songwriter.”
“She doesn’t write her own songs,” Albarn bluntly answered.
Wood insisted, “Of course she does. Co-writes some of them.”
“That doesn’t count,” Albarn continued. “I know what co-writing is. Co-writing is very different to writing. I’m not hating on anybody, I’m just saying there’s a big difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes. Doesn’t mean that the outcome can’t be really great. And some of the greatest singers — I mean, Ella Fitzgerald never wrote a song in her life. When I sing, I have to close my eyes and just be in there. I suppose I’m a traditionalist in that sense.”
Albarn later apologized, saying to Swift, “&#8217;I totally agree with you. i had a conversation about songwriting and sadly it was reduced to clickbait,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10437055/Its-really-f-d-Taylor-Swift-SLAMS-Damon-Albarn-saying-does-not-write-music.html">The Daily Mail</a> noted.
Criticism of Albarn came fast and furious:
Record producer and songwriter Jack Antonoff, who has worked on all of Swift’s albums since 2014, lashed out:
<blockquote>i’ve never met damon albarn and he’s never been to my studio but apparently he knows more than the rest of us about all those songs taylor writes and brings in. herb.
 &#8230; if you were there … cool … go off. if not … maybe …. shut the f*** up?</blockquote>

‘Blur’ Frontman Says Taylor Swift ‘Doesn’t Write Her Own Songs.’ Swift: That’s ‘Really F***ed Up’

Taylor Swift

“Reservoir Dogs” star Michael Madsen’s son has been found dead in a suspected suicide in Hawaii.
Hudson Madsen was the 26-year-old godson of noted filmmaker Quentin Tarantino. A spokeswoman for the Department of the Medical Examiner in Honolulu stated,  “I can confirm Hudson Lee Madsen, 26, died by a gunshot wound to the head in a suspected suicide on the island of Oahu,” as <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/4533070/michael-madsen-son-dead-suicide-hawaii/?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_campaign=sunustwitter&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1643075542-4">The Sun</a> reported.
Hudson Madsen, survived by his wife Carlie, had been living in Wahiawa, Hawaii; he was based at the Schofield Barracks in Oahu after having had reportedly served in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan.
As recently as January 15, Carlie Madsen, who had undergone breast surgery, posted on Instagram:
<blockquote>I just want to give a shout-out to my amazing husband! Yesterday I had surgery to remove a tumor from one of my breasts and he was and has been so patient throughout this whole process! We were at the hospital for about 7 hours yesterday and while I was in surgery he went to target and got me flowers, comfy pajamas, my favorite candy and a card! He&#8217;s also been amazing in helping with my recovery and I&#8217;m just so thankful! I also want to thank my family and friends that have reached out to make sure I&#8217;m okay and to check in on me! I love you all so much.</blockquote>
After meeting her future husband in 2017, Carlie Madsen told a friend who asked if Hudson was a “keeper,” “He&#8217;s actually in the army and stationed down in Colorado! I met him through my best friend that lives there! And I think he&#8217;s a keeper!”
Hudson commented in response, “I am a keeper by the way.”
In November 2017, Hudson got down on one knee to propose to his future wife on Pike’s Peak in Colorado; they were reportedly married in 2018 before he was deployed, as <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10438009/Michael-Madsens-son-Hudson-dies-suspected-suicide-Hawaii-age-26.html">The Daily Mail</a> reported.
The Daily Mail added, “On January 20, 2019, a friend commented: ‘Yo you home already Hudson Madsen?’ Carlie replied: ‘No, it keeps on getting pushed back’ &#8211; accompanied by a crying emoji.”
But Hudson was back home by the end of January 2019. In June, they conducted an “official wedding”; Carlie posted on Instagram that they held the wedding “even though we had been married for a year and half already at that point. &#8230; It was one of the happiest days of my life but also very uhhh&#8230; interesting I&#8217;ll say. We had an outdoor ceremony during a thunderstorm and no one could hear us. I was puking in the bathroom till about 2 minutes before I walked down the isle (sic), We had to fire our DJ halfway through the reception and thankfully a different, way better, DJ showed up. We almost got kicked out of our reception place because people got caught sneaking alcohol in and got caught attempting to do uhhmm.. ‘extra curricular activities.’”
“BUT even after all of that it was still one of the best days of my life because I got to celebrate with all our family and friends and I got to marry my best friend for the second time,” she continued. “Thank you to everyone that was able to make it and make it a day I will never forget. And thank you to my wonderful husband for everything you do for me and our family. I couldn&#8217;t be happier to have you by my side through this crazy life. I love you more.”
In May 2020, Hudson left Hawaii for a new deployment; Carlie wrote: “Saying goodbye to you never gets easier. I&#8217;m already missing the s*** out of you. Please come home quickly. I&#8217;ll see you in 5 months my love. I love you more.”
In March 2021, Carlie wrote: “In the last 2 months Hudson and I found out that we can&#8217;t have kids naturally and we have to do IVF. We also were told that it will probably take 2 or more times of IVF treatment for me to get pregnant. I&#8217;m only sharing this because it needs to be normalized and more talked about.”
Hudson made numerous loving comments in response to photos of his wife, including:
<blockquote>Dats my wife. I love you baby.
Dayyyuuummm gurll. You fine. 
Ooooo gurlll. Can i get yo number?</blockquote>
The last photo of them, from November, depicted him carrying his wife piggy back on a beach.
Carlie commented, “So in love with how these pictures turned out.”
Michael Madsen also starred in the films “The Natural,” “Kill Bill Vol.1,” “Kill Bill Vol. 2,” “Die Another Day,” “Sin City, “Thelma and Louise” and “Donnie Brasco.”

Suicide

A California mother whose sixth-grade daughter was allegedly recruited by teachers and encouraged to change her name to a boy’s name while being told not to tell her mother is taking legal action against the school district.
Jessica Konen filed a legal claim against Spreckels Union School District, claiming Buena Vista Middle School teachers Lori Caldeira and Kelly Baraki “planted the seed” to convince Konen’s daughter to believe she was bisexual, then urged the girl to believe she was a transgender boy.
The Center for American Liberty, which is representing Jessica Konen, <a href="https://libertycenter.org/cases/konen/">stated</a>, “Teachers encouraged Jessica Konen’s daughter to change her name to a boy’s name as an expression of her new identity and specifically instructed her not to tell her mother about her new identity because her mother couldn’t be ‘trusted.’ Then, they gave her articles—and required her to read them—on how to hide her transgenderism from her mother. Still without Jessica’s knowledge, teachers and administrators created a ‘Gender Support Plan instructing faculty to refer to her daughter by a new name, male pronouns, and to let her use the unisex teachers’ restroom.”
A statement of <a href="https://libertycenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/FINAL-Statement-of-Facts-and-Claims.pdf">facts and claims</a> from the Center for American Liberty notes:
<blockquote>Ms. Caldiera and Ms. Baraki operated the Buena Vista Equality Club, a club for students comprised primarily of students that they had identified as potential LGBT+ students. &#8230; Ms. Caldiera and Ms. Baraki took measures to keep students’ participation in the Equality Club and new LGBT+ identities—including new gender identities and expression— secret from students’ parents. Specifically, Ms. Caldiera and Ms. Baraki: (1) instructed students that they should not tell their parents about their new LGBT+ identities and expression; (2) failed to keep Equality Club rosters or records so that parents could not discover their children’s participation in the club or new LGBT+ identities through a review of school records; and (3) held Equality Club meetings during lunch—as opposed to after school—so that students, who were too young to drive, could better hide their participation in the club and their new LGBT+ identities and expression from their parents.
Katelyn Pagaran was the Principal of Buena Vista. &#8230; Ms. Pagaran was aware of the Equality Club and Ms. Caldiera’s and Ms. Baraki’s tactics as set forth above and approved of them. In fact, Ms. Pagaran often attended Equality Club meetings.</blockquote>
Referring to Konen’s daughter as “A.G.” the statement continued:
<blockquote>For the 2020-2021 school year, A.G.’s eighth grade year, Buena Vista continued remote operations, and if students chose, they could stay remote for the duration of that school year. A.G. chose to be remote for the entire school year. Although distance learning was difficult on A.G. (like many students), there was a silver lining—because A.G. was at home throughout the school day, she was no longer in the clutches of Ms. Caldiera and Ms. Baraki. Freed from their influence, A.G. began to return to her old self. A.G. started high school in the fall of 2021 in a new school district. At her new school, she goes by A.G. and she uses female pronouns.</blockquote>
Jessica Konen, who said that the two teachers gave information to her daughter on how to bind her breasts to keep them from developing, <a href="https://libertycenter.org/cases/konen/">told</a> Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, “You wouldn’t expect a teacher to be predatorial toward a child. They’re supposed to be trusted. &#8230; Their tactics are disgusting.”
In a <a href="https://abigailshrier.substack.com/p/how-activist-teachers-recruit-kids">shocking report</a>, Abigail Shrier, the author of the best-selling book “Irreversible Damage,” revealed that at a late October meeting at a conference of California’s largest teacher’s union, California Teachers Association (CTA), Caldeira reportedly stated:
<blockquote>I’m the teacher who runs our morning announcements&#8230;.That’s another type of strategy I can give you. I’m the one who controls the messaging. Everybody says, “Oh, Ms. Caldeira, you’re so sweet, you volunteered to do that.” Of course I’m so sweet that I volunteered to do that. Because then I control the information that goes home.</blockquote>
Baraki allegedly informed the teachers how she hoped to “mitigate” parents’ objections, saying, “Next year, we’re going to do just a little mind-trick on our sixth graders. They were last to go through this presentation and the gender stuff was the last thing we talked about. So next year, they’ll be going first with this presentation and the gender stuff will be the first thing they are about.

After University of Pennsylvania women’s swimming team member Lia Thomas, formerly known as Will Thomas, won two more events against female swimmers on Saturday, one teammate who preferred to remain anonymous spoke out, saying, “Women are now third-class citizens.”
Lia Thomas won the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle races in the meet against Harvard University.
The anonymous teammate told <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/women-are-now-third-class-citizens-says-penn-swimmer-in-exclusive-interview">The Washington Examiner</a>, “Lia was not even close to being competitive as a man in the 50 and the 100. But just because Lia is biologically a man, [Lia] is just naturally better than many females in the 50 and the 100 or anything that [Lia] wasn’t good at as a man.”
The teammate continued, “The top people at NCAA, who are on the board of directors … they are not protecting women’s rights. Imagine if there was this kind of inequality in men’s sports. Or someone found out about doping in a men’s sport. It would be fixed in a blink of an eye. Everyone would be all over it. But because it’s women, they don’t care.”
“People have come up to me and said this is so wrong,” she said. “I am typically liberal, but this is past that. This is so wrong. This doesn’t make any sense. &#8230; I’m trying to do everything I can without harming my future from stopping this from happening. I can’t just sit back and let something like this happen. I’m not just going to sit back and say, ‘My rights are being taken away, too bad.’ It’s embarrassing that people aren’t speaking out more.”
“I can’t see how anyone could feel good about this,” she concluded..
The Examiner noted:
<blockquote>For the 2021-2022 University of Pennsylvania women’s swimming team, the top <a href="https://pennathletics.com/sports/2019/11/14/womens-swimming-top-times.aspx">time</a> for the 50 free is 22.78 seconds, accomplished by Thomas. Comparatively, the <a href="https://pennathletics.com/sports/2019/11/14/mens-swim-top-times.aspx">men’s</a> top time in the same event during this season is 20.32 seconds. Thomas’s record time for women would have been the 17th best time for men this year. Furthermore, Thomas&#8217;s performance was the third-fastest time for the university&#8217;s women’s team in the last <a href="https://pennathletics.com/sports/2019/11/14/womens-swimming-top-times.aspx">13 </a>seasons. </blockquote>
On January 8, Thomas swam a race in which Thomas’ time was suspiciously slower than previous times, permitting Iszac Henig, a Yale swimmer who is biologically female but identifies as male, to win.
That prompted a young woman who is on Penn’s swim team with Thomas to surmise in an interview with <a href="https://www.outkick.com/penn-swimmer-alleges-lia-thomas-colluded-with-fellow-transgender-swimmer-before-race/">Outkick</a> last week that Thomas and Henig colluded before the race in order for Henig to win and thus disprove the assumption that Thomas, as a biological male, could not be beaten by a biological female competitor.
The swimmer, who preferred to remain anonymous out of fear from activists, told Outkick, “Looking at [Lia’s] time, I don’t think she was trying. I know they’re friends and I know they were talking before the meet. I think she let her win to prove the point that, ‘Oh see, a female-to-male beat me.’” Asked if she thought Thomas and Henig had colluded, she replied, “I do. I can’t say for sure, but I wouldn’t be shocked if I found out that was 100% true.”
Outkick noted, “In the 100 freestyle race, Henig finished with a time of 49.57; Thomas touched the wall in 52.84. During a November tri-meet with Princeton and Cornell, Thomas swam the 100 freestyle in 49.42.”
Thomas’ teammate also noted that in the January 8 200 freestyle race, Thomas only won by two seconds. She stated,  “I was on deck and said to a friend, ‘She’s literally not trying.’ You could just tell. It was blatantly obvious. I was watching the 200 free and she was literally keeping pace with the other girls.”
“She was No. 1 in the country at one point,” she continued. “These are definitely talented swimmers, but they’re not the caliber of being at the top in the country or anything like that. &#8230; You can tell when someone is dying and they’re swimming slow. You can also tell when someone is not trying and I could see [in the 200 freestyle] that Lia was not trying.”
In early December, Thomas utterly crushed the women competing with Thomas at the University of Akron&#8217;s Zippy Invitational, winning the 1650 free by a gargantuan 38 seconds ahead of the young woman finishing second, winning the 500 free by a whopping twelve seconds ahead of the woman finishing second, and winning the 200 free by a still-huge seven seconds, setting new Penn records along with meet and pool records.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Just to show you how absurd this is. Here’s the trans swimmer “Lia” Thomas crushing all of the female competitors by 40 seconds. This is what that looks like in real time. A total farce.

In an indication of how unpopular President Biden has become across the country, even failed presidential candidate and former Texas Democratic Congressman Beto O’Rourke, who is running for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination of his state, told reporters he wants President Biden to stay away.
Asked at a news conference in Austin if he would accept help from Biden, O’Rourke told reporters, “I’m not interested in any national politician — anyone outside of Texas — coming into this state to help decide the outcome of this.&#8221;
&#8220;I think we all want to make sure that we’re working with, listening to and voting with one another here in Texas,”  he added.
“No one in Washington D.C. right now can help us with the challenges that we have,&#8221; he said according to the <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2022/01/21/democrat-beto-orourke-no-interest-in-texas-gubernatorial-campaign-help-from-president-joe-biden/">Dallas News</a>, &#8220;This one is on all of us.&#8221;
The Daily Wire reported on Sunday that only 20% of respondents in a new poll “strongly approve” of how Biden is doing as president:
<blockquote>According to a <a href="https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2022/01/Fox_January-16-19-2022_Complete_National_Topline_January-23-Release.pdf">Fox News poll</a> conducted between January 16-19 with 1,001 registered voters and a margin or error of +/- 3%, the number of Americans who “strongly” approve of Joe Biden’s performance as president stands at just 20%. The poll asked: “Do you approve or disapprove of the job Joe Biden is doing as president?” 47% of respondents approve, 52% disapprove. Only 20% “strongly” approve, down four points from November and tying October’s number. Those who “strongly” disapprove are at 37%, down from November’s high of 41%.</blockquote>
Last week, an <a href="https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-joe-biden-business-health-inflation-6b6b0abfef867fc405e9f358ce2c3a09">Associated Press</a> (AP) poll found less than 30% of Americans  and less than half of Democrats wanted to see Biden run for reelection in 2024.
AP reported:
<blockquote>More Americans disapprove than approve of how Biden is handling his job as president, 56% to 43%. As of now, just 28% of Americans say they want Biden to run for reelection in 2024, including only 48% of Democrats…
It’s a stark reversal from early in Biden’s presidency. In July, 59% of Americans said they approved of Biden’s job performance in an AP-NORC poll. His approval rating dipped to 50% by late September in the aftermath of the chaotic and bloody U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan and amid surging coronavirus infections and the administration’s fitful efforts to push economic, infrastructure and tax policies through Congress.
Just 45% say they approve of Biden’s handling of COVID-19, down from 57% in December and from 66% in July 2021. Americans are even more downbeat about his handling of the economy, with just 37% approving. Growing angst about his economic policies comes as inflation rose at its fastest pace in nearly 40 years last month, a 7% spike from a year earlier that is increasing household expenses and eating into wage gains.</blockquote>
In early December, a <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3830">Quinnipiac University poll</a> showed Texas GOP Governor Greg Abbott absolutely crushing O’Rourke among registered voters by a whopping 15 points, 52%-37%. Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy pointed out, &#8220;How far behind is Beto O&#8217;Rourke? 15 points is more than your typical two touchdown deficit in football and an even bigger hole in the game of politics.”

On Monday, a staunchly Christian member of Finland’s parliament who is a mother of five children and a grandmother of six went on trial, facing criminal charges for her Biblical views as demonstrated in a <a href="https://twitter.com/PaiviRasanen/status/1140693636176384011">2019 Bible tweet</a>, a radio show in 2019, and a church pamphlet from 2004.
Dr. Päivi Räsänen, whose husband is a pastor in the Lutheran Church, is a veteran member of parliament and former minister of the interior. The Finnish Prosecutor General has brought three criminal charges against her with possibly two years of imprisonment.
As <a href="https://adfinternational.org/when-a-tweet-can-land-you-in-jail-criminal-charges-brought-against-finnish-mp/">ADF International</a>, which is supporting Räsänen, reported, “Police investigations against Räsänen started in June 2019. As an active member of the Finnish Lutheran church, she addressed the leadership of her church and questioned its official sponsorship of the LGBT event ‘Pride 2019,’ accompanied by an image of a bible text.”
ADF International noted that Räsänen is being “prosecuted for the crime of ‘ethnic agitation,’ under the section of ‘war crimes and crimes against humanity’ in the Finnish criminal code.” The prosecution argues that Räsänen’s views are discriminatory towards minorities.
Räsänen stated last week, “I will continue to stand for what I believe and what I have written. And I will speak and write about these things, because they are a matter of conviction, not only an opinion. I trust that we still live in a democracy, and we have our constitution and international agreements that guarantee our freedom of speech and religion.”
She has also stated:
<blockquote>I cannot accept that voicing my religious beliefs could mean imprisonment. I do not consider myself guilty of threatening, slandering or insulting anyone. My statements were all based on the Bible’s teachings on marriage and sexuality. </blockquote>
She continued:
<blockquote>I will defend my right to confess my faith, so that no one else would be deprived of their right to freedom of religion and speech. I hold on to the view that my expressions are legal and they should not be censored. I will not back down from my views. I will not be intimidated into hiding my faith. The more Christians keep silent on controversial themes, the narrower the space for freedom of speech gets.</blockquote>
“Freedom of speech is one of the cornerstones of democracy,” Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International, pointed out. “The Finnish Prosecutor General’s decision to bring these charges against Dr. Räsänen creates a culture of fear and censorship. It is sobering that such cases are becoming all too common throughout Europe. If committed civil servants like Päivi Räsänen are criminally charged for voicing their deeply held beliefs, it creates a chilling effect for everyone’s right to speak freely.”
Elyssa Koren wrote in <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/01/freedom-of-religion-and-speech-is-on-trial-in-finland/?taid=61ee9c7f1673170001ca061d&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">National Review</a>:
<blockquote>Let this be a warning for us all. Europe may be leading the charge on the proliferation of silencing <a href="https://adfinternational.org/resource/censored/">“hate speech” laws</a>, but the United States is far from immune to this insidious trend. The idea that the government has the prerogative to silence speech with criminal sanctions is gaining traction across the world, with severe ramifications for all fundamental freedoms. &#8230; Could what’s happening to Räsänen happen here? The ease with which social-media giants censor and ban accounts with “wrong” opinions should give us pause.</blockquote>

Speaking of the mask mandates that have been imposed on children in her state, New York Democrat governor Kathy Hochul opined, “My daughter had a meltdown about having to put sneakers on to go to kindergarten. She got used to wearing sneakers in school. They adapt better than adults do.&#8221;
A reporter asked Hochul, “Regarding the mask mandates: I want to know if the state has a particular number, whether it be a test of positivity rate or a hospitalization rate that when you go under the mask mandates would be lifted or is the state playing that by ear?
“We’re not paying it by ear; we’re going to be driven by data,” Hochul insisted. “And look at what our situation was prior to the mandates and assess was that the right number to go back to. I can’t say with certainty but that is a starting pit to look at the number before we instituted these. We instituted these because we saw the storm coming our way. We watched the global trends; we saw how quickly this escalated in our countries, like England and South Africa and we knew that could hit us.”
“That’s why we took steps literally the day the first case arrived in New York state which was December 2 and announced the first series of restrictions going up for the next couple of weeks,” she continued. “So I think about this a lot; I’m not going to operate in a vacuum; we’re going to have data and experts and people who know a lot about what the next trends are, but I am really looking forward to lifting them; I truly am.”
Then she offered her opinion about children and masks: “I know people are tired, but I also want to say one thing about the kids: My daughter had a meltdown about having to put sneakers on to go to kindergarten. She got used to wearing sneakers in school. They adapt better than adults do.”
“And I’m really proud of the parents who made sure that their kids understood this is for their safety and got it done,” she added.
She concluded, “But we’re looking forward to the day we can lift the school as well as the business requirements. I truly am. That’ll be a fabulous day. That means that we’ve turned the corner in a way that we don’t feel we’re going to be sliding backwards any time soon.”

On Saturday, only days after the NCAA <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/ncaa-overhauls-transgender-athlete-rules-after-upenn-swimmer-dominates-womens-competition/">announced new policies</a> governing transgender athletes in college sports by claiming they would implement a “sport-by-sport approach” to rules, Lia Thomas, the University of Pennsylvania swimmer on the women’s team formerly known as Will Thomas, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10430987/Transgender-swimmer-Lia-Thomas-wins-100m-200m-freestyle-races-against-Harvard.html">won</a> the women&#8217;s 100m and 200m freestyle races in a meet against Harvard University women’s swimming team.
The NCAA stated on Wednesday that the standards for transgender athletes in college sports would be set by the national governing body of a sport or by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Last July, IOC medical and science director Richard Budgett <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/laurel-hubbard-set-to-be-first-openly-trans-olympian-thanks-olympic-committee-for-making-sport-inclusive-and-accessible">claimed</a> that “everyone agrees that trans women are women.”
“There are lots of aspects of physiology and anatomy, and the mental side, that contribute to an elite performance,” Budgett continued. “ It’s very difficult to say, ‘yes, she has an advantage because she went through male puberty,’ when there’s so many other factors to take into account,” the medical and science director added. “It’s not simple. Each sport has to make their own assessment depending on the physiology of that sport so that they can ensure there is fair competition, but also the inclusion of everyone – whether they’re male or female – so they are able to take part in the sport they love.”
“In early December, Thomas utterly crushed the women competing with Thomas at the University of Akron’s Zippy Invitational, winning the 1650 free by a gargantuan 38 seconds ahead of the young woman finishing second, winning the 500 free by a whopping twelve seconds ahead of the woman finishing second, and winning the 200 free by a still-huge seven seconds, setting new Penn records along with meet and pool records,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-penn-swimmer-lia-thomas-colluded-with-female-swimmer-to-lose-race">The Daily Wire</a> reported.

Lia Thomas Wins 2 More Races, This Time Against Harvard’s Women Swim Team

Speaking to the press on Friday about Intel’s planned semiconductor factory in Ohio, President Biden concluded his remarks, then dodged any questions about Russia by saying, “By the way, the reason we’re not going to have any time for questions now is these guys got to get quickly on a plane and go out and do a major announcement in Ohio. And you guys will ask me all about Russia and not about anything having to do with chips.”
Biden triggered widespread condemnation after his remarks regarding Russia at Wednesday’s press conference.
A reporter asked, “Your top foreign policy advisors have warned that Russia is now ready to attack Ukraine. But there’s still little unity among European allies about what a package of sanctions against Moscow would look like. If the U.S. and NATO aren’t willing to put troops on the line to defend Ukraine and American allies can’t agree on a sanctions package, hasn’t the U.S. and the West lost nearly all of its leverage over Vladimir Putin? And given how ineffective sanctions have been in deterring Putin in the past, why should the threat of new sanctions give him pause?”
“Well, because he’s never seen sanctions like the ones I promised will be imposed if he moves, number one,” Biden answered. “Number two, we’re in a situation where Vladimir Putin is about to — we’ve had very frank discussions, Vladimir Putin and I. And the idea that NATO is not going to be united, I don’t buy. I’ve spoken to every major NATO leader. We’ve had the NATO-Russian summit. We’ve had other — the OSCE has met, et cetera.&#8221;
Then he burbled, “And so, I think what you’re going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera. But if they actually do what they’re capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further ingra- — invade Ukraine, and that our allies and partners are ready to impose severe costs and significant harm on Russia and the Russian economy.”
When asked later to clarify what he meant by &#8220;minor incursion,&#8221; Biden said he drew the line at &#8220;Russian forces crossing the border, killing Ukrainian fighters,&#8221; CNN reported.
As <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/white-house-has-to-issue-statement-cleaning-up-bidens-disastrous-remarks-on-russia-ukraine/">The Daily Wire</a> reported, “Biden&#8217;s comments were widely interpreted as giving a green light to Putin.”
