The 2024 Olympics initially sparked outrage for its ceremonial attack on Christianity but has attracted additional criticism over the perception that it is now facilitating attacks on women. The controversy follows two fighters in particular: Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting and Algeria's hulking Imane Khelif — both of whom Blaze News previously reported were disqualified last year from the 2023 Women's Boxing World Championships by the International Boxing Association for allegedly having XY chromosomes. Despite their apparent male sex chromosomes, the International Olympic Committee Paris 2024 Boxing Unit cleared Khelif and Yu-ting to fight women. On Thursday, Khelif — who some have suggested is actually a hermaphrodite — hammered Italy's Angela Carini hard enough to prompt the 25-year-old Italian to abandon the fight after 46 seconds, break into tears, and fall to her knees. Among the critics convinced this week they were once again witnessing male transvestites exploit their biological advantage at the expense of female athletes' safety was a young woman who was herself severely injured by a transvestite. 'This is morally wrong and evil.' Payton McNabb was a member of Hiwassee Dam High School's girls' volleyball team in Cherokee County, North Carolina, until a transvestite player playing for Highlands High School cut her dreams down in September 2022. During the fateful matchup, the male Highlands player, who towered over the girls at 5 feet, 11 inches tall, spiked the ball, smashing McNabb in the face and leaving the then-17-year-old unconscious on the court for 30 seconds with a concussion, a brain bleed, and whiplash. According to the Daily Mail, McNabb, now 19, was left with brain damage, vision issues, and paralysis on her right side, preventing her from pursuing her dream of securing a volleyball college scholarship. 'It used to be illegal for men to beat up women.' After parents, student athletes, school board members, and the athletic director at McNabb's school expressed concerns about safety and fairness, the Cherokee County Board of Education forfeited all remaining games in the season against the Highlands team. School board member Arnold Mathews told WLOS-TV at the time the decision was based on "safety concerns." McNabb told the Daily Mail that it is "disgusting" that two boxers who failed gender tests are allowed to thrash women at the Paris Olympics. "There is a biological difference between the two [trans women and women], there is a difference in sports because of this in the first place," said McNabb. "It's dangerous to have the two [sexes] competing together and just not OK. I am disgusted by this, personally. This is morally wrong and evil." "These women have worked so hard and trained tirelessly to get all the way to the Olympics, all so they can get punched in the face by a dude," continued McNabb. "It used to be illegal for men to beat up women, and now people are putting it on TV and watching it. It's such a weird reality we are living in now." McNabb, now a spokeswoman for the Independent Women's Forum, routinely blasts Democrats and other radicals, particularly those like Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Wash.) who claim that the inclusion of transvestic athletes is harmless. Like Blaze News?

In 1935, an archaeological expedition led by the Metropolitan Museum of New York unearthed a fascinating and eerie find in the tombs of Deir Elbahari near Luxor, Egypt. Beneath the tomb of Senmut, a prominent architect and possible lover of Queen Hatshepsut, archaeologists discovered a separate burial chamber containing the mummified remains of an elderly woman. Her mouth was agape, frozen in what appeared to be a scream, earning her the nickname the "Screaming Woman." For decades, this mummy has captivated researchers, and recent studies using advanced scientific techniques have provided new insights into her life, death, and the mysterious expression she carried to the grave. The findings have just been published in the science journal Frontiers in Medicine.

The Carthaginian military, renowned for its strategic ingenuity and formidable prowess, played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of ancient Mediterranean history. Central to this historical narrative are the Punic Wars, a series of three protracted and destructive conflicts between Carthage and Rome that ultimately determined the fate of both empires. These wars, spanning over a century from 264 BC to 146 BC, were characterized by fierce battles, legendary military commanders, and significant geopolitical shifts. Understanding the Carthaginian military's structure, strategies, and the broader implications of the Punic Wars provides invaluable insights into the ancient world’s military and political dynamics. The Carthaginian Military Structure The Carthaginian military was a complex and diverse force, heavily reliant on mercenary troops and naval supremacy. Unlike the Roman legions, which were composed primarily of citizen-soldiers, the Carthaginian army included a myriad of ethnic groups and nationalities. This eclectic composition was both a strength and a vulnerability, as it provided a vast pool of specialized skills while also posing challenges in terms of loyalty and cohesion.
