DeSantis: “Gender Affirming Care” Is A Euphemism For Castration And Sterilization.
First link needs sugar?
Fixed. Thanks.
Weird, now it shows up.
Woops! Typed that before I read it was fixed.
We all understood when Colin Kaepernick didn’t want to engage in compelled sooech, he was only praised because he opposed expression that the media also disliked.
Oppose compelled speech that the media like, and you’re evil.
“”Gender affirming care is medically necessary, safe and effective for transgender and non-binary children and adolescents.”
Bullshit.
I identify as a pirate and demand that one of my eyes be removed.
There is actually a thing where people identify as amputees and ask surgeons to remove perfectly healthy limbs. That’s part of the disturbing contemporary trend towards learned helplessness and claiming victim status. I would love to put one of those people in a room with one of TOK’s teammates for five minutes.
I’m aware of them and have used them as counter arguments to the advocates of genital removal. Just because you don’t use your balls for ambulating, doesn’t mean they aren’t necessary appendages.
Most MTF are non-op. Although, the issue here is kids.
Puberty sexualizes the brain. So it’s impossible to correctly diagnose gender dysphoria in someone before puberty. Even if it were possible, the decision to transition is something only adults should make.
This is one of the worst arguments that is coming from the left right now, as they, at least to rational people, destroy that argument with all of the blathering about raising the age for gun ownership. If someone cannot be trusted with a gun, why would you let them “reassign” their sex via irreversible mutilation?
They kind of talked themselves into a corner with the normies on this one.
Queue the all-purpose response:
“THAT’S DIFFERENT!!!111!!11!!1”
They lost the normies when they sought to deny millions of years of evolution.
I agree, and teachers and clinicians pushing it make it even worse.
Although, calling it “mutilation” in regards to adults is unnecessarily pejorative. We don’t describe plastic surgery for non-trans women that way.
I do.
You’re not wrong. I know one person who lost their legs in a fire, a few from cancer, some from car and motorcycle accidents. But about half were injuries from IED’s. These are tough people. But none of them are that way by choice.
Well, that’s a rather dumb analogy. Gender dysphoria is a real thing supported by scientific evidence.
Anyway, most pirates who wore eye patches didn’t because they were missing an eye. They did it so they had one eye used to the dark in order to be able to see when they went below deck (eg. to fetch cannon balls).
It’s not for the reasons Tonio mentions. Identifying as a something you’re physically not is a disease of the mind, not the body. Mutilating the body to address that problem is ridiculous.
There is no debate that sexual dimorphism exists. That brains can be sorted into to two groups, male and female, is supported by evidence. Sexual dimorphism has a bimodal distrubution. Which doesn’t mean that men can’t have some typically female traits, or that females can’t have some typically male traits. Eliza Dushku has lower eyebrows that Ben Shapiro, and Chuck Schumer has bigger boobs than Kristen Stewart. So it stands to reason that males can have female brains, and females can have male brains (the former should be more common because males have more eccentric brains). At the current level of technology there is no way to change this, so for some people living as the opposite sex is the best option, and changing their gender expression with surgery and hormones is often part of that.
. Gender dysphoria is a real thing – I think wanting to be an amputee is also a real thing. different mental disorders
So eye patches were early PLZT goggles?
As far as I know it was to block sunlight. I don’t think it was to block their eye from the muzzle flash of the cannon, unless maybe if they were fighting at night?
Sure, poke holes in my exaggeration, lol.
“Arrr! Slip below deck and fetch me balls!”
“Well, walk my plank and shiver me timbers!”
There must be a movie with that line.

“They will actually take a young boy and castrate the boy.”
Well, chemically castrate.
“They will take a young girl and do a mastectomy, or they will sterilize her because of the gender dysphoria.”
That’s true.
The irony here, is that puberty blockers actually make transition more difficult in the long run.

She’s bitching about what other ladies are doing? If they aren’t hurting anyone, just laugh at them. Not going to the gym instead sounds self sabotaging.
Is it not against any policy to video at the gym. It should be.
If not, record their narcissistic asses. When they ask what the hell you are doing, tell them you are just giving them the attention they crave.
Fair play. Personally, I wouldn’t care either way.
Have to say, that was my gut reaction as well. Especially with the extra “Hollywood types are hypocrites who get plastic surgery and insist yoga and good genetics are why they still look that was after 40!” [personal addition: To a point, then they go too far with the surgery and firmly enter Uncanny Creepy-Ass Valley.].
And the side bar is nothing but celebrity “Look at XXX who looks so good even at 40!” crap.

“North Carolina Courage defender Jaelene Daniels refused to play Friday night when the team celebrated Pride Night and wore jerseys to support the LGBTQ community.”
We really need to get politics out of sports.
The 1936 Olympics laugh at you.
They stopped laughing in 1945.
The Olympics are still laughing at taxpayers expense.
It’s not politics to them.
Coach Sean Nahas said after the game against the Spirit that he wanted to make sure the LGBTQ players on the team were celebrated and that Daniels’ decision wasn’t a distraction.
“What we have to remember is, it’s the second time that they’ve worn those jerseys and I know how powerful it was for them, and how much it means for them. And my number one thing was nothing is going to come in between that, because that’s important to them and that means something to them, and I stood by that,” Nahas said.
The Courage supporters group, the Uproar, encouraged fans to go to the game and celebrate the players despite Daniels’ decision.
You’re nobody ’til somebody
lovescelebrates you.When is Christian jersey night? Don’t you want those players to feel welcome?
What if a team decides to celebrate their heritage by putting a Confederate battle flag on their jerseys?

In local news, some video about a band called twentyone pilots at a music festival in Romania got a bunch of views and the press felt the need to write about it. anyway how many glibs heard of that band?

I’ve purchased their music.
I’m indifferent to them, but my kids like them.
Unfortunately.
The first time I heard one of their songs on the radio, I honestly thought they were a parody band.
They are the suck.
This is correct
That’s a lot of pilots. Did they get in a bar fight or just play volleyball?
I’m troubled by this, not because I’m some sort of prude – it’s great when women feel confident and attractive – but because it’s duplicitous. It’s pretending to sell health and fitness, but really it’s saying: ‘Look at my body.’
Young men looking at this think about sex, to be blunt. And studies have shown that the more they view such images, the more they see women as objects. So really, anyone claiming all this is somehow empowering women – it just isn’t.
Things I’m bad at should be banned.

How a Torsen differential works. I never knew and now I do. Seems to be used on cars up to around 300hp. I’m guessing either size required or the lack of any slip makes it not take kindly to high HP.
I’m an engine guy, not a gear guy, but I’d encourage you to think about gears’ ratings by torque, not HP. You could make a Torsen tiny if you’re willing to spend on the alloys that can carry the compression, shear, and friction loads: tradeoffs almost always include a cost component.
I’d think the question is why and how you need more than 300HP to do anything. In my case, my engine develops 380lbft of torque, but, due to the (plated) rear end, trans ratio, and torque converter, it delivers almost 9,000lbft at launch, even if one wheel is off the ground. If you’re pulling a four ton trailer up a rocky trail in Wyoming and get a tire off the ground, the Torsen stops and you’re kinda stuck (or stalling or falling back for a moment); you can get unstuck, but why would you want to when Chevy and Dodge deliver a better solution off the shelf on all their trucks?
Good point on tq v. hp!

What percentage of those cases aren’t gay men who engage in extreme levels of unprotected promiscuity? I’m sure there are some but it has to be low.
They’re saying 5%.
But here’s what I don’t get. They’re also saying it’s transmitted not by a specific sex act but by “close contact”.
That doesn’t seem to square with the numbers.
Wow, so it’s much safer to be gay. I’m to understand from the popular media that gays account for somewhere north of 50 percent of the population integrated across racial categories. They account for a much smaller fraction of the cases than their representation in the general population!
But somehow I’m suspicious of that 5 percent number given what I understand about the transmission and demographics of the disease thus far. But that’s based only on what I’ve heard in the background noise – I simply don’t give enough of a fuck to listen to any of these public health, ah, ‘experts’ about anything.
No, gay men account for 95% of the cases.
That’s what I don’t get, assuming that what I heard about how it’s transmitted is accurate.
Copy.
Maybe they have a different definition of ‘close contact’? Have you checked Merriam-Webster to make sure you are not using outmoded definitions?
Fuck knows.
But yeah, who’s going to trust “the experts” at this point.
Watch out. Kennedy would say your bigoted now.
Jesus… you’re, not your. What the ever living flip is wrong with me this morning….
Sigh. I feel like I’ve lived through this story before.
0.00007 percent of the state’s population.
REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
You just pulled that number from your ass.
[golf clap]
What you did there was seen and spread.
Squints suspiciously….
It’s 0.0068 percent, 0.000068 as a ratio.
No need to get anal about it.
I had included that little bit in an Ack-shoe-a-li conditional, but wordpress ate my conditional block…
Wait, how is 1400 out of just over 19 million people 0.0068 percent?
I dunno. I did 1400/20365879 and got 0.000068472 = 0.0068 percent. Perhaps I need more coffee as I wait for someone to wake up so I can make breakfast, but I’ve already had 3 cups, so maybe that’s not the problem
Oh, I’m sure you have a better grasp of the math than I do. I just typed in the first results for the current NYS population I saw and consulted the calculator then regurgitated the number that came across the screen. How 0.000068 turns into 0.0068 is beyond me.
percent is literally ‘per 100’. So the ratio is ‘per 1’ – there are 100x more instances per 100 units, so multiply ratio by 100.
OR maybe a simple example.
Say 50 people out of 100 are gay – we sort of intuitively know that’s 50 percent. i.e. 50 people per 100 people. If we do the ratio, we have 50/100 = 0.5 which means .5 people per 1 person is gay. To make that percent, per 100, multiply by 1 or 100/100: 0.5 people/1 person * 100/100 = 50 people/100 people. But percent is literally per 100, so the “/100 people” part becomes percent and you 50 percent.
Time for breakfast! And then out to the garage… I mean the shop, yeah, that’s it the shop!
Gotcha….kinda. Anyway, enjoy your breakfast.

But Edward Chancellor, a financial historian, journalist, and investment strategist who has been described as “one of the great financial writers of our era,” argues central bankers are to blame. In his view, central banks’ unsustainable policies have created an “everything bubble,” leaving the global economy with an inflation “hangover.”
In other news, water is wet.
Oh, I have a message for Creech.
I was sitting in a bar in State College, PA. I overheard two guys next to me talking about the gubernatorial election. One said to the other, “I think Shapiro has a chance, but if I was a betting man, I’d put money on Mastriano.” Yeah, the rural parts of Centre County are very Republican, but I was in a bar less than a ten minute drive from the University Park campus. These guys are almost certainly Democrats, and also almost certainly far more Left than anyone in the Philly suburb counties.
What was your fuel bill for the trip?
I haven’t gone through my receipts. My estimate: High but not as high as Hunter Biden on crack.
Now if I had taken the Mustang, maybe it would be as high as Hunter Biden on crack.
The most expensive gas was purchased in Nevada. More than $5/gallon, I think it was 87 octane.
The cheapest was in eastern Tennessee at $3.57/gallon for 87 octane. That place also had ethanol-free 87 octane gas for $5.15/gallon.
Thanks for the anecdote. Mileage may, of course, vary. My GOP source says internal polling puts Shapiro ahead by 7% over Mastriano, at this point in the race. Shapiro is hammering Mastriano with ads – snippets taken out of context, e.g. Mastriano saying he has the power to decertify any voting machines he wishes – that paint him as a dangerous extremist.
Mastriano may be strong in the thinly populated upstate regions, but Philly (where votes can be manufactured almost at will) and the surrounding counties swing the state.
Word is money is being put into Dr. Oz’ senate campaign (where he is behind by only 3%) against the Sanders Socialist Fetterman.
My GOP source says internal polling puts Shapiro ahead by 7% over Mastriano, at this point in the race.
My gut tells me the polls are purposefully skewed to serve as an excuse to dump money elsewhere. The GOP Establishment hates Mastriano.
I remember the RGA being cagey about whether or not they’d support Mastriano. My take on the RGA’s comments on Mastriano is that they don’t support him but don’t want to say it out loud.

“Rich countries are not monolithic. However, outside the US and a few microstates, they vary in a limited range: Abortion is available on-demand (de-jure or de-facto) for between 12 and 24 weeks, plus later under varying exceptional circumstances.
The US is unusual in both directions. Some states now ban abortion from conception with exceptions only for the pregnant woman’s life. This is more restrictive than almost anywhere else. But some states also allow abortion on-demand at any time. This also does not exist almost anywhere else in the rich world.”

Digging deep to unearth the truth
Although the House Jan. 6 committee has presented evidence of the carnage law enforcement faced at the Capitol that day, little time has been devoted to law enforcement’s failure to predict and prevent the attack — at least not publicly.
But behind the scenes, sources tell NBC News, those failures have not been from forgotten. As the committee prepares for an additional round of public hearings in September, they’re expected to put more focus on the intelligence and law enforcement failures at the FBI and Department of Homeland Security that left police woefully underprepared for the mob that stormed the Capitol. Those failures will also be a key component of the committee’s final report on Jan. 6.
——-
Liz Cheney said in an interview on Fox News Sunday last week that the Blue team’s work will be featured in committee’s final report and would “likely” be featured in upcoming hearings.
“What we aren’t going to do… is blame the Capitol Police, blame those in law enforcement, for Donald Trump’s armed mob that he sent to the Capitol,” Cheney said. “Clearly there were intelligence failures, clearly the security should have operated better than it did. But this was a mob Donald Trump sent to the Capitol, and I think that’s important to keep our eye on.”
The FBI has been generally defensive about its preparations ahead of Jan. 6, and noted in the past that they took some actions to discourage extremists from traveling to D.C. ahead of the attack. But a new FBI statement to NBC News indicated the bureau had “increased our focus on swift information sharing” and “improved automated systems established to assist investigators and analysts” since Jan. 6.
Obviously, the cartoon villain gutted our domestic security apparatus, no doubt relying on bogus concerns regarding outmoded concepts like freedom of speech and assembly. We cannot allow that mistake to go uncorrected.

Interesting definition.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Libtard
More interesting that nobody has tried to edit or remove it. Also the use in context is perfect.
A lot of the “definitions” are friendly to liberals. And then there’s the requisite pot-shot at libertarians:
There’s a limited timeframe to help call attention to the need to fix the intelligence failures. If Republicans take back the House in the midterms, as many analysts expect, oversight could very quickly flip from examining FBI shortcomings to investigating alleged law enforcement overreach against those who stormed the Capitol on Trump’s behalf. Instead of trying to understand how to make sure the FBI can make sure they are prepared for domestic extremist violence in the future, some congressional Republicans have downplayed the insurrection, protested the pre-trial detention of some Jan. 6 rioters whom they recast as “political prisoners,” and flirted with the “fedsurrection” conspiracy that posits the FBI instigated the attack to set up Trump supporters.
Elections have consequences. Or so I have heard.
That’s what I don’t get, assuming that what I heard about how it’s transmitted is accurate.

Paging Ernest Hemingway…
Lawrence and Bianca Rudolph shared a passion for big game hunting.
In late September 2016, the couple traveled from their Phoenix home to the southern African nation of Zambia, where Bianca Rudolph was determined to add a leopard to her collection of animal trophies. They carried two guns for the hunt: a Remington .375 rifle and a Browning 12-gauge shotgun.
After killing other animals during the two-week trip – but not a leopard – Bianca Rudolph never made it home. She suffered a fatal shotgun blast in their hunting cabin at dawn as she was packing to return to Phoenix, federal prosecutors allege in court documents.
Now Lawrence Rudolph, 67, is charged with foreign murder and mail fraud in the death of his wife of 30 years. He has pleaded not guilty, and took the stand in his own defense this week at his trial in Denver, CNN affiliate KMGH reported.
“I did not kill my wife. I could not murder my wife. I would not murder my wife,” he told jurors.
Rudolph told investigators he heard the shot while he was in the bathroom and believed the shotgun accidentally went off as she was putting it in its case, court documents say. He found her bleeding on the floor of their cabin at Kafue National Park, he says.
But federal prosecutors allege Rudolph killed his wife for insurance money and to be with his girlfriend.
This sounds vaguely familiar.
“I don’t care”, replied the lead Federal marshal assigned to the case.
The courtroom then all took a flying leap off of a dam.
I wonder what she had on the Clintons?
Well… substitute Beverly Hills for Zambia and it’s the plot of a Quincy I watched yesterday afternoon.

Just the facts
The House passed legislation Friday to revive a ban on certain semi-automatic guns, the first vote of its kind in years and a direct response to the firearms often used in the crush of mass shootings ripping through communities nationwide.
Once banned in the U.S., the high-powered firearms are now widely blamed as the weapon of choice among young men responsible for many of the most devastating mass shootings. But Congress allowed the restrictions first put in place in 1994 on the manufacture and sales of the weapons to expire a decade later, unable to muster the political support to counter the powerful gun lobby and reinstate the weapons ban.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed the vote toward passage in the Democratic-run House, saying the earlier ban “saved lives.”
President Joe Biden hailed the House vote, saying, “The majority of the American people agree with this common sense action.” He urged the Senate to “move quickly to get this bill to my desk.”
You’re slipping, NPR. That should be ” the high-powered firearms are now widely blamed as the weapon of choice among young WHITE men responsible for many of the most devastating mass shootings” shouldn’t it?
So silly. Any casual study shows they should ban handguns, then knives, then sharp scissors. Licensing hammers is the final step.

ban pointy knives
Ban 16 ton weights
They weren’t really banned anyway.
“Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed the vote toward passage in the Democratic-run House, saying the earlier ban “saved lives.””
Bullshit.

Fucking awesome, stolen, and uploaded to Facebook
Yes.
DeSantis is no Massie or Rand Paul, but from what I’ve seen so far I’d be pretty happy casting a vote his way. Really hoping that he is the Team Red nominee instead of TDog. A DeSantis versus Newsom matchup would be absolutely great to watch, there really could be no better distillation of the two parties as they currently sit. If that happens it is a landslide of 38-12. A Trump/Newsom matchup is a total tossup I would say. The Dems have really backed themselves into a far left corner, they could easily be the minor party for the next decade or more. Much has been written here about the uniparty, and there are grains of truth to that, but I’d say it’s more accurate that Dems have mostly controlled the Overton Window since FDR and that is looking like it might just change.
As long as the right doesn’t get too stupid with it…which means we’re screwed…but at least there’s hope.
It’s too much to hope that they don’t get stupid, but the political moment has very much changed from the G Dub era. There are very much still those elements in the party, but they aren’t the ones dominating the narrative now.
Speculation right now is saying Desantis will not run against Trump next cycle.
He’s young anyway.
Ball’s in Trump’s court.
The safe bet is that Trump runs again. If so, he may just manage to squeak enough votes by the margin of Dem fortification, but it will be close, even with two more years plus of the Biden disaster. I’m still holding out hope that he has some kind of health issue that thwarts another run. The 30% die hards either way will vote for or against him, but I can’t quite see him carrying the squishy middle, especially against a younger opponent.
Trump has lost most of his base though.
I believe you are right, Count.
Much of Trump’s appeal was that he said it’s ok to be proud of America, and you don’t have to take all the labels that the left wants to put on you (“deplorable”), and that maybe your sex life should be private.
But then, much like what happened with Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, Trump revealed he has a very thin skin against insults.
Not a good quality in a politician.
Just stick to Money raising rallies this time, Trump!!
It’s not that he has a thin skin (although he does). It’s that he didn’t know how to govern very well. Couldn’t hire the right people when he needed them.
Do you really think that? I would like to believe that, but I don’t think it’s true. I very much do not want to see him run again, but it seems to me that he hasn’t really lost much of his base. He has most certainly lost independents I would say. The question is has he so turned them off that even in light of a shitshow Dem party would they hold their nose and vote for him? I don’t think he gets enough of them unless his opponent is Biden or Harris. If it’s Buttigieg or Newsom he loses in a relatively close race.
Biden was instrumental in helping secure the first semi-automatic weapons ban as a senator in 1994. The Biden administration said that for 10 years, while the ban was in place, mass shootings declined. “When the ban expired in 2004, mass shootings tripled,” the statement said.
I’m sure the fact-checkers gave that one thorough scrutiny.
Tripled because we’ve been allowed to play the definition game yeah. Even the word definition is getting redefined
Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said the weapons ban is not about taking away Americans’ Second Amendment rights but ensuring that children also have the right “to not get shot in school.”
Write the magic words on the paper, and our safety will be assured.
Oh snap.
Ted Cruz just tore a new asshole on the cabinet nominee for “science officer” (do we really have that??!?).
I have some issues with Cruz but I do love the fact that once he understood he’d be vilified by the left no matter what he did, he grew the Star Trek alternate universe goatee and ran with it.
Evil Spock was the best science officer.
Evil Abed was actually redemption Abed from the darkest timeline.
You misspelled Dax.
When Cruz gets his game face on, he can be very effective in hearings. The federal prosecutor in him comes out.
Other than that, though, he seems like an opportunistic shitweasel, but honestly I don’t pay that much attention.
