President Joe Biden is surrounding himself with over a dozen advisers in an attempt to prepare for his debate with Donald Trump.

Modern Monetary Theory, or MMT, is unlimited federal spending, borrowing, money printing, inflating, taxing, and regulating. It’s not only Bidenomics, which was fully adopted in 2020; it’s Obamanomics, which is Democratanomics. They think revenue doesn’t restrain them in any way. The crackpot theory of endless borrowing wrecked the economy and the Democrat presidency.

Two high school track coaches in Washington are speaking out after watching a trans-identifying male athlete crush his female competition at the state championship. Brad Anderson is the boys’ track head coach, and Jason Keniston is the girls’ track head coach at Liberty High School near Seattle. In May, the two coaches watched Veronica Garcia, a biological male formerly known as Donovan Brown, win first place at the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) state track meet. Garcia won the girls’ 400-meter race with a record-smashing time of 55.59. The two Liberty High track coaches began wondering how things could change and decided to speak up in an interview with the Independent Women’s Forum. He “just completely blew the competition away,” Keniston recalled. The win garnered 10 points for Garcia’s school, East Valley Spokane High School, which ended up winning the state championship by eight points, Keniston said. “And they shouldn’t have,” the girls’ coach added. The girls’ team from Cedar Crest High School, the “rightful state champions” according to Keniston, ended up in second place. “Their coaches and everyone who gave everything to their program deserved a title, and they’ll never get that,” he said. The mother of the girl who got third place in the 400-meter race behind Garcia said Garcia’s time would not have been impressive against male athletes. “He wouldn’t even have made it to districts,” the mom said. “That time isn’t even competitive for a varsity high school male athlete. He’s a [junior varsity] runner.” In October 2022, Garcia ran in the boys’ 5,000-meter junior varsity race and performed much worse against his male competitors, placing 164th out of 172. “How can anyone think this is fair, regardless of the politics of our world and our country?” Keniston asked. The problem was “really right in your face at state,” Anderson said. When Garcia stood on the podium, “It was very quiet. There [were] a couple people booing,” Keniston said. “This individual robbed these girls of their podium spot, and the girl who could have come in eighth [place] didn’t even get to be on the podium and earn a medal,” he said. Garcia previously said he was “somewhat hurt” the girls did not congratulate him. “I guess maybe I expected sportsmanship because I was cheering the rest of them on when they were called. So I guess I expected to get that reciprocated,” Garcia told The Spokesman-Review. “But I didn’t get that.” “I’m just a teenager. I wish people would remember that,” he said. Anderson, the boys’ coach, said biological males are simply faster than their female counterparts. “When you come down to a sport, an endurance sport especially, I think the numbers always speak pretty clearly that biological males are faster, and I just don’t know how you can argue otherwise,” Anderson said. “There’s a difference. [To] say there’s not is an injustice.” Anderson said that one of the girls “just put a heck of a time on the board — great time — and she still loses. That was hard to watch.” The two coaches emphasized that they are not the only ones who have a problem with trans-identifying males competing against girls. “There’s a large group that stands against this, however, they’re like most, where we feel the need to hide under this mask of going along with it out of fear that if you are willing to just speak up and say what you believe, even just your opinion, there is going to be a repercussion,” Keniston said.

We don’t back down from bullies,” Keniston said.

When X user Celia’s daughter asked her, “Do you ever have any regrets, Mom?” She thought for a short while and then answered that she regretted not buying a puffin sweater she had seen in Iceland three years earlier. While this may seem like a trivial regret to some, it carried meaning for Celia. She shared the story of the puffin sweater in a tweet on X and had an unexpected and unbelievable response. My daughter asked, “Do you ever have any regrets, Mom?” And while I know she was asking this question on a philosophical level, my mind immediately went to this puffin sweater I saw in Iceland. It’s been 3 years since I saw it in a shop there, & I still regret not buying it. pic.twitter.com/pnkVePdmaB— Celia (@CeliaBedelia) June 2, 2024 Dave Wiskus responded that he had the identical sweater he had purchased for his wife, who had never worn it. He volunteered to send it to Celia if she covered the shipping from New York City to Berlin. Image from X. With arrangements in place, the sweater began its journey halfway around the world. Dave was true to his word and wanted nothing more than the shipping price. The sweater sells online for 220 euros or just over $236 USD. The sweater traveled to Berlin in record time. Celia was elated. She made a second post to model the sweater. It fits her perfectly. Who could ask for more? The entire exchange, from the first post to the sweater’s arrival, was only ten days! People are amazing! Just 10 days ago, I shared a thought about one of my regrets in life. Of course, not buying a sweater sounds like a minor regret, but SO MANY could relate!And then @dwiskus made my wish a reality. This sweater made it from NYC to Berlin in record time! https://t.co/cWArXbQnxu pic.twitter.com/hgf0yl9tgC— Celia (@CeliaBedelia) June 12, 2024 Many of the comments under the puffin sweater tweet expressed interest in following the story. After receiving the sweater, Celia made the new post and then returned to add to her original post to keep those folks in the loop. The entire saga is a testament to the beauty of many people. Dave, with his generosity, has shown us that the world can still be kind. Images from X here and here. Celia no longer has to regret not buying the sweater, and Dave no longer regrets buying it.
