The University of Pennsylvania is facing a wave of criticism from professional athletes for nominating transgender college swimmer Lia Thomas for the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s 2022 “Woman of the Year” award.
“This is yet another slap in the face to women,” Riley Gaines, a University of Kentucky swimmer who was also nominated for the award, tweeted in response to the news on Friday.
“First a female national title and now nominated for the pinnacle award in collegiate athletics. The @NCAA has made this award worthless.”
Thomas — who won the 500-yard freestyle at the 2022 NCAA Women’s Division I Swimming and Diving Championships earlier this year — is one of 577 graduating female student athletes nominated by their schools for the prestigious award.
The 22-year-old’s record-smashing season this year has been mired in controversy with some critics claiming competing in the women’s division gave her an unfair advantage because she was biologically born a male.
“This award combines athletic performance with academics, service, and character. What character has Thomas shown other than sheer selfishness and entitlement?” Gaines continued, accusing Thomas of showing “disrespect” and “disregard” for other female athletes.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova also criticized the decision.
“What is wrong with you?!!!!!!!?” she tweeted at the NCAA.
Former NCAA swimming champ Marshi Smith, an outspoken critic against transgender women competing in women’s sports, said UPenn is “doubling down on their anti-woman campaign” by deciding to nominate Thomas for the honor.
“@RileyGaines deserves “NCAA Woman of the Year” for sheer guts alone!” Smith tweeted.

In May, Thomas acknowledged the criticism against her in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and said she had been prepared for the backlash.
“I knew there would be scrutiny against me if I competed as a woman, and I was prepared for that,” the star athlete said at the time.

What do you think?
“I intend to keep swimming … It’s been a goal of mine to swim at Olympic trials for a very long time, and I would love to see that through,” she said.

Last month, the controversy surrounding transgender women in sports led to the world swimming’s governing body, FINA, effectively banning them from competing in elite women’s events.
UPenn did not immediately comment on the criticism over Thomas’ nomination for the NCAA.

Economic/Political 'Yin/Yang'-Critique of Establishment NWO/TRUMPIAN Dogma

Trumpian, aka neo-Libertarian, dogma relies too much on the economic forces being the leveraging determiner of the politics [See the economic analysis of Michael Lind (2012)]. This view disregards the emotional energy of the humanistic ethos of individuals and their collectives. Equally flawed is the Neo-liberal NWO that relies on a political framework in which a preferred economic system exists [The fatal flaw of neoliberalism: it's bad economics by Dani Rodrik (2017)]. This also discounts the provincial and individualistic aspirations of the contrarian niches.

Governance is more the Yin of collective composition of economic arrangements-for their own sake, sorted for a manageable cohesive social order.

Both the Neo-libertarian (Trumpian) and Neo-liberal (NWO-Establishment) dynamics infringe on the integrity of the individual for either economic or political expedience. Because of these infringements the Right and Left extremes are the inherent, consequential and balancing dynamics when the societal order becomes ossified in its non-responsiveness to those L/R-populist objections.

Since the populist dynamics is more an intangible virtue, plus rare and anecdotal social-pathological militant actions by comparative small collectives, they are disregarded until they reach a threatening critical mass of asymmetric action against the authorities in-charge. Even the present-day Trumpists with their political State-rights leverage and martial gun-culture comprise by some estimates less than 25% of the populace. The cohesiveness of that 25% makes them formidable, but not overwhelming without another 15-20% who favor any sort of order for their cultural "well-being".

It's for that extra marginal percentage of people to obtain the political will for either of the competing claims that gives politics its venue of importance. For the unorganized 40% of the remaining 55% only their narrative interpretation of 'in the course of [cultural] events works as the obstruction to the aspirations of the Neo-libertarian/Trumpists and the Neo-liberal/NWO-ist.

[Ed. epilogue-WE are in that 40%. Without a martially-maintained and aligned, political land base that's more than scattered metropolises, we're provincial enclaves of diverse (not bad, per se) cultural expressions as vulnerable to the whims of external forces as any formerly ransacked and plundered economic entities, such as Tulsa of June 1920.]

A group of Republican lawmakers is backing a pro-life bill that would give mothers the opportunity to receive child support before a baby is born.

The Unborn Child Support Act reflects the reality that life starts at the time of conception, and therefore, pregnant mothers should be able to get child support as they carry their child.

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) introduced the legislation in the Senate, with Senators Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kan.), and James Lankford (R-Okla.) as additional original cosponsors.

Humourous but sad.
Females have been exercising their biological ability to give birth and nurture babies into adulthood. As science would have it, the female cannot reproduce on her own so a man is therefore needed. Do we all agree?
Maybe you don't agree and feel compelled to question both the biology and the science by asking, well, What's The Definition Of A Woman?
The man in the video, perturbed by the nascent gender psychosis, has been making a living challenging asinine contemporary concepts and interpretations on the female specie by asking so called experts and general public: what defines a woman? Incredibly, the logical millennia held definition is no longer the general consensus! The argument is so ridiculous it's laughable. Parody aside, there's an insidious agenda at play here and as usual it involves vulnerable children.

I know the 40 series GPU's are coming soon, I was still rocking a 2080 MSI card. I went for the EVGA 3080 Ti and a new cooler from NZXT. Can display the Temps from the CPU and GPU, and many other things, can even display any gif if you want.

Do you still listen to him? I personally don't, and don't care if anyone does.

Salutations all.

They took out the last one who was able to convert water to fuel. There must be a way to protect our engineers and scientist not just for the community but for the planet sake as well.

I only played a few titles in the franchise. My main fighting game has always been Mortal Kombat but I won't lie, this game looks pretty fire.

The animation they used in it, it feels like a comic book style. I might have to get this one.

This article isn't too long but I find it interesting, in my opinion I think certain people are trying to date themselves to give themselves more credibility.

Space entrepreneur Robert Bigelow donated $10 million to the reelection campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday, according to the Friends of Ron DeSantis committee.

Bigelow, the founder of Budget Suites of America, has also invested in other projects including Bigelow Aerospace and National Institute for Discovery Science.

The entrepreneur garnered attention after telling a “60 Minutes” host that he was “absolutely convinced” after she asked if he believed in aliens. Bigelow told the show that he believes aliens are “right under people’s noses” on Earth.

Full story:

I am not one to say this isn't happening. For all we know, they been here for centuries but how is it that these people have money like this to be throwing around? Anytime I hear of people like this, they are some smoked out white hippy types who think they were butt probed by aliens. LOL

Apparently, he has some sort of Showtime series on aliens as well.

The old white people are crazy! lol

Since we have a flat earth thread, why not a moon landing one?

So this is something that I never fully believed. I am not sure why. Like I believe people been in space but never far enough to be on the moon. The temperature changes alone make me question that. If you look back at the suits and things they used, those mf'ers were using TAPE and PLASTIC for 80% of their getup. I just can't see those old suits protecting them in space where it is beyond freezing cold.

So let's talk about it. Do you believe the moon landing happened?

I remember when Trump gave him a pardon. I thought he won't f up again. I really did but it seems like young black men in the rap game have a habit of screwing up time and time again.

Now the thing I don't like about the story was that they pulled him over cause "they thought" the windows on his SUV were tinted beyond the legal limit.

The cops are always looking to bust black people by using this crap against them and yet so many rappers continue to risk this for a trend or style.

He is stupid for having drugs and attempting to sell them or whatever but how he was arrested, it just annoys me.

This is the exact argument they have been using against us.

As we debate nonsense and things that get us nowhere, the pilgrims are taking oaths to protect "their" homefront. They just booted 60,000 soldiers and guardsmen from the military, then a few days later claiming they don't have enough people to man a war.

Take note...

The view that it’s mostly men who cheat because their partners lose interest in sex is outdated. Science says that it’s actually women who struggle most with monogamy because they get bored in the bedroom. Women crave sexual variety and while some stifle their desire, others will be unfaithful.

Anthropologist and author of Untrue, Wednesday Martin, refers to this new research as ‘the great correction’. Martin interviewed dozens of sociologists, sex researchers and anthropologists for her book on female infidelity and says the sad, sorry picture painted of the female libido is grossly wrong. It is alive and kicking — and eager to be satisfied.

“The new research is correcting false notions that women have lesser libidos, that women are more naturally monogamous and that it’s easier for women to partner for life,” explains Martin. “Women don’t like sex less [than men] — but they do get bored of sexual sameness.”

Check on Ghostface someone please

Up to his usual nonsense, Elon Musk mentioned working on Mars and making it inhabitable but he would need 1 million people to start.

It got me to thinking... Who would actually be willing to leave Earth to live on Mars? So I wanted to ask all you fine people. Would go you live on Mars?

I personally would not. Not for anyone. I am good on that.

Trump announced that he is running without saying he is running.

Biden and several people around him have already said he is going to go for a second term.

WTF.

Like I expected Trump to run again and as much as I don't like him, if he can fix the economy, I will suffer through a few more years of his nonsense but Biden is beyond gone. The dude was just on stage the other day shaking a hand that wasn't even there. The fact that he is still the sitting president now is a JOKE. This just shows us how little the government thinks of us.

What other options are going to be on the table at this point? Hillary? LOL
