Trump: Kamala Wants to Duck Debates

What is a woman? A new landmark court decision implies Australia rewrote its definition of gender a long time ago. “Sex is changeable,” a federal court judge decided in a ruling against a girls-only social networking platform for “discriminating” against a transgender “woman.”  Roxanne Tickle, a middle aged man who believes he is a woman sued the app, Giggle for Girls in 2022, alleging “unlawful gender identity discrimination” after they refused to allow him on the platform, NBC News reports. Sall Grover, the app’s CEO says she created the platform as a “safe space” for girls to share their experiences as…girls. According to Tickle’s lawsuit, she revoked the account he created in 2021, after seeing his profile picture and “considered (her) to be male.” With the looks of Biden official Rachel Levine, how could anyone mistake this for anything other than a beautiful lady? “Sex is changeable”. These were the judge’s words as he delivered his judgment finding Giggle guilty of indirect gender identity discrimination against Tickle, for refusing him admission to her female-only app. A disappointing but unsurprising outcome given the judge said at… pic.twitter.com/Tl4YnpWQJj — Rachael Wong (@RachaelWongAus) August 23, 2024 The Judge, Robert Bromwich apparently agrees. On Friday, he ruled Grover and the Giggle app “indirectly discriminated” against Tickle for believing he’s still a guy, despite reportedly receiving some kind of “gender affirming” operation in 2019 and changing his birth certificate to say “female.”  Bromwich justified the defendant’s delusion, arguing “a long history” of court cases decided over 30 years “established that on its ordinary meaning sex is changeable.” Thus, Giggle must fork over $10,000 in legal fees to Tickle…on top of $6,700 in legal costs. That still didn’t match Tickle's initial demands. He wanted the app to pay $200,000 in damages to compensate for his “constant anxiety” and “suicidal thoughts” that he blames on Grover’s “persistent misgendering.” Tickle v. Giggle (yes, that’s the actual case) marks the first time Australia’s Federal Court has ruling on gender “identity” discrimination since changes were made to the Sex Discrimination Act in 2013, according to NBC. In a press briefing outside the courthouse on Friday, Tickle celebrated the case’s outcome, emphasizing how much trauma he apparently suffered for not being allowed to enter the app for young girls. It seems he omitted why he was so adamant on joining the platform in the first place. @10newsfirst Transgender woman Roxanne Tickle has spoken of her relief after a Federal Court judge ruled in her favour, deciding that she was discriminated against by a social media app who banned her from use. The Giggle for Girls app, and its CEO Sall Grover, was found to have breached the Sex Discrimination Act by booting Tickle from the "women-only" platform in 2021. She has been awarded $10,000 plus costs in the landmark case, and says she is excited to return to normal life. #transgender #court #australia ♬ original sound - 10 News First Australia “I’ve been bursting into tears at different moments, because I knew that…(sighs)...soon this would all be over…” Tickle announced as he choked up outside the courthouse after Friday’s ruling.  “I know that I can now get on with the rest of my life…have coffee down the road with…play hockey with my hockey team,” he added.  That is another woman’s space he forced his way into.  

Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard helped put a nail in the coffin of Kamala Harris' presidential campaign in 2020. It appears as though she is ready to help deny the California Democrat the White House once again. Days after meeting with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago for a reported "practice session," Gabbard announced Monday to an energized crowd at the 146th general conference and exhibition of the National Guard Association in Detroit that she was formally endorsing Harris' opponent. "I am proud to stand here before you today," said Gabbard. "Whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent, if you love our country as I do — if you cherish peace and freedom as we do — I invite you to join me in doing all that we can to save our country and elect President Donald J. Trump and send him back to the White House to do the tough work of saving our country and serving the people." Gabbard explained precisely why she believes it is imperative that Trump win. Whereas she has previously indicated that Harris would both continue putting America last and dutifully serve the military industrial complex, Gabbard expressed confidence that Trump would alternatively "do the work to walk us back from the brink of war." 'We can't allow our county to be destroyed by politicians who will put their own power ahead of the interests of the American people.' "We cannot be prosperous unless we are at peace," continued the former congresswoman. "We can't live free as long as we have a government that is retaliating against its political opponents and undermining our civil liberties, weaponizing our very institutions against those they deem as a threat. Kamala Harris has done this over the last three and a half years. She won't hesitate to continue that if she is elected as president." Gabbard revealed to nationally syndicated radio host and co-founder of Blaze Media Glenn Beck earlier this month that the Biden-Harris administration was allegedly surveilling her via a program designed to identify and monitor potential terrorists. — (@) After noting Monday that Trump has been the primary target for the Biden-Harris administration "because they don't want us as voters to even have the option to vote for him," Gabbard indicated that it is critical for Americans now to "stand together to reject this anti-freedom culture of political retaliation and abuse of power." "We can't allow our county to be destroyed by politicians who will put their own power ahead of the interests of the American people, our freedom, and our future," added Gabbard. In her speech, the former congresswoman who served in both Iraq and Kuwait, also made clear that Trump takes seriously "the grave responsibility that a president bears for every single one of our lives." Earlier in the day, Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery to honor the lives of the 13 American service members who lost their lives during the Biden-Harris administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. According to Gabbard, Trump evidenced this understanding in part by breaking from the tradition set by his establishmentarian predecessors and not starting any new wars, but rather taking "action to deescalate." Trump also had kind words to say about Gabbard, noting, "She's got great common sense, great spirit, and she loves our country." Like Blaze News?

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance pledged that former President Donald Trump would veto any nationwide ban on abortion if he were elected again.Vance made the comments during an interview Saturday on "Meet the Press" with Kristen Welker. Welker cited Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina saying that he would work to pass a federal ban on abortion if Trump were elected. 'Donald Trump wants to end this culture war over this particular topic.' "If such a piece of legislation landed on Donald Trump's desk, would he veto it?" asked Welker. "I need to be very clear, we do not support it," said Vance. "But would he veto it?" Welker responded. "Yeah, I mean, if you're not supporting it as a president of the United States, you fundamentally have to veto it," he replied. Earlier in the interview, Vance explained the ticket's view on abortion rights. "Donald Trump wants to end this culture war over this particular topic. California wants to have a different abortion policy from Ohio, then Ohio has to respect California and California has to respect Ohio," he said. "Donald Trump's view is that we want the individual state and their individual cultures and their unique political sensibilities to make these decisions because we don't want to have a non-stop federal conflict over this issue," Vance continued. "The federal government ought to focus on getting food prices down, getting housing prices down."Pro-life activists expressed disappointment with the statement from Vance. "Trying to sound like a Democrat on abortion isn’t going to help Trump. It hurts him. It’s politically unwise and morally wrong," wrote Live Action president Lila Rose on social media. "Many people would love to support Trump, but becoming like Democrat[s] on abortion hurts him."Vance also hammered the Biden administration for its failures related to the border crisis. "If you want to get control of the illegal immigration problem, you have to stop the bleeding," he continued. "You have to stop so many people coming here illegally in the first place, and that means undoing everything that Kamala Harris did, practically on day one of the administration." Like Blaze News?

A game-worn jersey of legendary baseball player Babe Ruth from Game 3 of the 1932 World Series sold for $24.12 million at auction after hours of bidding.The jersey was allegedly worn by Ruth during his famous "called shot" home run while playing for the New York Yankees against the Chicago Cubs. The home run was hit off of the Cubs' Charlie Root in the fifth inning.The event has been speculated on for years, as footage exists of Ruth pointing to the outfield, but it is unclear as to whether or not he was gesturing to fans or promising a homerun. 'The legend of Babe Ruth and the myth and mystery surrounding his ‘called shot’ are united.'The event is legend enough for it not to be the issue at the auction, where the true value came from an authentication. Two Getty Images photos along with a Chicago Daily News photo were used to verify the jersey. The images showed Ruth, teammate Lou Gehrig, and manager Joe McCarthy in the Wrigley Field dugout in Chicago on the day in question. The authentication sent bids through the roof, Washington Post reported, which led to a six-hour bidding war that closed at around 5:30 a.m. ET."It has been an honor and a privilege to work with this incredible piece of American history, and I am proud that it will now be part of one of the finest private collections in the world," said Chris Ivy, director of the sports auction company called Heritage. "This is essentially the Mona Lisa.""It is clear by the strong auction participation and record price achieved that astute collectors have no doubt as to what this Ruth jersey is and what it represents. The legend of Babe Ruth and the myth and mystery surrounding his ‘called shot’ are united in this one extraordinary artifact," he added.This was the first time in 19 years that the jersey was available at public auction, carrying with it an estimated value of $30 million. Clearly, auctioneers were looking for a record-setting day and achieved it by eclipsing a Mickey Mantle Topps rookie card that sold for $12.6 million in 2022.Other high profile sales of memorabilia were made for a $9.3 million Diego Maradona soccer jersey from his "Hand of God" goal in 1986 and a century-old Honus Wagner baseball card in a safe that went for $7.25 million.Michael Jordan's jersey worn in Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals sold for $10.1 million in 2022, as well.The name of the winner of the $24 million Ruth auction was not revealed.Like Blaze News?

Monday marked the third anniversary of when an ISIS-K suicide bomber attacked Abbey Gate during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, resulting in 13 U.S. service members being killed, dozens wounded, and over 100 Afghans killed. The service members killed in the terrorist attack were: Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Darin T. HooverMarine Corps Sgt. Johanny Rosario PichardoMarine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. GeeMarine Corps Cpl. Hunter LopezMarine Corps Cpl. Daegan W. PageMarine Corps Cpl. Humberto A. SanchezMarine Corps Lance Cpl. David L. EspinozaMarine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared M. SchmitzMarine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollumMarine Corps Lance Cpl. Dylan R. MerolaMarine Corps Lance Cpl. Kareem M. NikouiNavy Petty Officer Third Class Maxton W. SoviakArmy Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss The attack, which troops on the ground say was preventable, was another in a long list of failures the Biden-Harris administration had made during the chaotic evacuation. On Monday, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris marked the tragic incident in different ways. 'As I have said, President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war.' Trump traveled to Arlington Cemetery, where some of those killed are buried, and stood with a few of the Gold Star families to pay his respects to the fallen. He and two service members who were wounded in the attack also laid wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. — (@) — (@) In contrast, Harris released a lengthy statement about the attack but did not attend any event to mark the solemn occasion."Today and everyday, I mourn and honor them. My prayers are with their families and loved ones. My heart breaks for their pain and their loss. These 13 devoted patriots represent the best of America, putting our beloved nation and their fellow Americans above themselves and deploying into danger to keep their fellow citizens safe," Harris said.Harris went on to justify the way the administration had ended the United States' longest war."As I have said, President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war. Over the past three years, our Administration has demonstrated we can still eliminate terrorists, including the leaders of al-Qaeda and ISIS, without troops deployed into combat zones. I will never hesitate to take whatever action necessary to counter terrorist threats and protect the American people and the homeland."Most of the Gold Star families from the attack have expressed their disgust and disdain for how the Biden-Harris administration handled the deaths of their loved ones. — (@) Like Blaze News?
