So a far leftist politician then?

Who said anything about research? It was a simple question. I'm asking if you'd have a problem with the government funding your so called "Some conservative dark money non-profit propaganda outfit", to make these ad campaigns against the Cleveland Clinic.

Nope, not confused at all. I'm simply asking if you'd have a problem with the government funding your so called "Some conservative dark money non-profit propaganda outfit", to make these ad campaigns against the Cleveland Clinic.

This thread is a perfect example of how 90% of the country agrees with Trump on this issue while the other 10% don't. While that is the case, the left side of the aisle will champion the cause of the 10% because they don't like the person leading the 90%. But when the left side of the aisle gets back into power, they'll eliminate men playing women's sports and take credit for it.

For our board leftists... to be clear, you're saying that if the federal government funneled tax dollars into "Some conservative dark money non-profit propaganda outfit", who's job it was to target organizations like the Cleveland Clinic in this fashion, you wouldn't want Trump and DOGE to shut it down?

Winner!

No, he blocks me because I prove how stupid he is all the time. He doesn't like that.

Yeah, that would be funny.

Nah, states rights. If the people in the state don't like it, they can elect someone to change the law.

The NCAA is the rule of law for universities. The E.O. states that men can be a part of the team, but can not compete. The NCAA is complying with that, so if a school like San Jose St wants to keep the dude on their Volleyball team, they're allowed to do so, he just can't actually play. I don't believe there's a work-around. Is it possible that SJSU and UCLA agree to let the dude play? Maybe. If that's the case, I'm ok with it as long as all the ladies involved are 100% unanimous in letting it happen. If 1 woman says "no", it's "no".

How would you know, you ignore all of us.

It wouldn't get to that point. If a team in Maine travels to a state upholding federal law, the dude can not compete. If they refuse, they forfeit. They'd travel for nothing. No one would be arrested.

State's rights. I'm fine with this. The thing is, the executive order protects the states that want to protect the rights of women against the ones who don't. So, if a team from Maine or California travels to say, Ohio, for example... any men on those women's teams will not be allowed to participate in those sporting events. Schools in states that want to protect women's rights, can decide for themselves if they want to schedule sporting events in states where they don't want to protect women's rights. The NCAA is currently saying that they will uphold the executive order, so this would mainly be for high school and lower level sports... is my guess. If the constituents of those states don't like their laws, they're free to elect someone who will change them.

ThEy WrOtE a BoOk!!!

All I need to see is what's happening right now. Democrats are absolutely furious... NOT at the actual programs being targets (i.e., trans operas and such), but the groups (i.e. USAID). This tells me that they don't care where the actual money is going, but how it's getting there. It tells me that there's even more than what we know about. I also see the Republicans very quiet. If they were on the side of stopping this, they'd be all gung ho in criticizing and pointing specific bills and whatnot, that had ear marks they don't like. But they're mum. That tells me that they're just as guilty.

Here's an article from December of 2020 confirming it was still happening in 2019 and there's no confirmation of it being fixed at that current point in time (a month after the 2020 election). Direct quote in the article: “Here’s the problem: there’s only 40 of those people alive in the entire world,” Andrzejewski said. “Last year, Social Security paid out $8 billion improperly.”

I remember when board lefties were all about the list when they felt Trump was on it. Now that Trump is putting out there that he wants it released, they're second guessing themselves and thinking, maybe Trump isn't on the list like I thought. So now they believe people they like are on it and want it squashed.

I haven't watched a halftime show in decades... actually, maybe even ever. I can't think of a single one that even comes to mind. Maybe the Bud Bowl ones??? Don't even remember if that was halftime or commercials. Maybe next year, they can do "Beer Bowl" and use it to give love to Canada and Mexico and have the teams be Modelo vs Molson.

I could probably list a few hundred.

After she made the comment about the Southern University (I think), band comment, you should've said, "I'm sure he is... he gave the HBCU's more funding than any other President."

This Super Bowl was just like 2020... the Chiefs had no answers for the pass rush and Mahomes wasn't able to make decisions at the line. Everyone on KC stunk... the OLine, Defense, Mahomes, and Reid, and for the 2nd time in 5 years, they weren't able to adjust.

I called this game after the Pick 6. I was at my friend's house and pointed to exactly this topic. In that Super Bowl, Tampa got to Mahomes rushing 4 guys, blitzing as well (because that's what Bowles does), but for the most part, 4 guys. Mahomes didn't have time to throw the ball because 1) the pass rush got in quickly and the WR's/Kelce were all practically double covered because 4 guys would go out and had 7 covering them. The only way to combat this from the Chiefs point of view back in 2020 was bring in an extra TE (which didn't happen until the 2nd half), keep the RB in, and basically run Hill deep and Kelce over the middle. The problem there was that the Bucs were still getting pressure and Mahomes was running around like a chicken without a head. This year, there was no Tyreek Hill to keep the secondary honest nor was there a competent blocking TE. The Chief's only resort was to keep the RB and Kelce in and force bad (and old), receivers, to try and beat the best pass defense in the NFL. The Chiefs never had a chance. That Pick-6 proved to be the nail in the coffin. After getting sacked on the first two plays, Mahomes gambled and lost. It was at that point the Chiefs quit. They knew they had no answers on offense or defense.

Clearly, I gave the Chiefs too much credit.
