Last night, Canadians held their Liberal Leadership Debate. They are a strange group. Chrystia Freeland, who might become Canada’s new leader, has some bizarre ideas. For example, in a wild overreaction, she said she would create an international nuclear-armed international alliance to fight President Trump. She joined in a debate with three other Canadian liberals. […] The post Canada Held Their Liberal Leadership Debate: One Wants Nuclear to Fight Trump appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The GOP-led Senate will take up legislation that aims to protect women’s sports leagues by trying to keep male athletes who identify as females from competing. After journalist Megyn Kelly first broke the news on her podcast, Majority Leader John Thune’s (R-SD) office confirmed to The Daily Wire that the Senate will file cloture on the bill on Thursday. Then, a cloture vote — which requires a two-thirds majority to cap debate ahead of a final vote sometime in the future— is expected Monday. Called the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” the bill seeks to “provide that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” If enacted, the bill would amend Section 901 of the Education Amendments of 1972 by adding two provisions to the end: (1) It shall be a violation of subsection (a) for a recipient of Federal funds who operates, sponsors, or facilitates athletic programs or activities to permit a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls. (2) For purposes of this subsection, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who introduced the bill in January, has been joined by Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) and 36 other co-sponsors — all GOP senators. It remains unclear how Democrats and the independents who caucus with them will vote on the legislation. As it stands, the Senate GOP has a 53-47 majority. “79% of Americans agree: men don’t belong in women’s sports,” Tuberville said in a post to X on Wednesday, citing the findings of a recent New York Times/Ipsos survey. “I hope EVERY SENATOR will join me to PERMANENTLY restore Title IX protections and protect women and girls everywhere.” Back in January, the GOP-controlled House passed its own version of the “Protection of Women and Girls Act.” That bill, which came from Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL), got the support of two Democrats: Reps. Henry Cueller (D-TX) and Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX). If enacted, the House bill would “amend the Education Amendments of 1972 to provide that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of such Act in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth,” adding language that says it would be a violation for recipients of federal aid to allow a person whose sex is male to participate in a sports program for women or girls. Also included in the House legislation is a provision directing the comptroller general to conduct a study that would look at “the adverse psychological, developmental, participatory, and sociological results to girls of allowing males to compete, be members of a sports team, or participants in athletic programs, that are designed for girls.” Opponents argued the House bill would have invasive consequences and is supported by “bigoted folks.” If the Senate passes its own version of the bill, the House would need to pass it, too. Or both chambers of Congress would have to compromise on legislation that might integrate aspects of each bill. The House previously passed its version of the bill in 2023 with no Democrat support. However, it never got a vote in the Democrat-led Senate in the last Congress. Ultimately, a bill that passes both the House and Senate will go to the White House where the president can sign it into law or issue a veto. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February geared toward keeping men out of women’s sports at schools that receive federal funding. In the face of some opposition, Attorney General Pam Bondi has sent letters to officials in Maine, Minnesota, and California, warning the administration “will leverage every legal option necessary to ensure state compliance with federal law and President Trump’s Executive Order protecting women’s sports.”

Macy Maxson did not intend to become a lightning rod pushing back on the gender ideology agenda that has infiltrated so much of society—even feminine hygiene products. But when Maxon founded Garnuu, a tampon subscription service, in 2022, she chose to affirm biological reality.   “From the beginning,” Maxson says, she decided her company would stand firm on the fact “that only women can get periods.”   After Maxson launched Garnuu, rival Tampax started using transgender activists, such as Dylan Mulvaney, to promote its products. Maxson said she watched as other tampon companies began moving away from feminine branding and word choice in product promotion, but Garnuu, a word that means “rescue” in Nepali, branded itself as a “girls-only club.” That simple statement cost Maxson some customers, who claimed stating that only women get periods was not loving.   “We’re just calling it a ‘girls-only club’ and it’s just truth,” Maxson said. While some took offense at Maxson’s firm position on biology, many more celebrated the way Garnuu was upholding the dignity of women, leading to the small company’s growth.   Garnuu customers have been so supportive that Maxson says she quit her 9-to-5 job and is leading the rapidly growing feminine care company full time.   Maxson joined “Problematic Women” at the Conservative Political Action Conference to discuss the challenges and rewards of launching a company, and her commitment to truth. She also explains the value of cycle-syncing, a process in which women strategically work with their bodies as hormone levels rise and fall during their cycle.   Also on today’s show, Alexo Athletica CEO Amy Robbins joins “Problematic Women.” Alexo Athletica is a concealed-carry conducive athletic clothing brand.   Watch the show above.
