Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin warned Congress on Tuesday that it is very likely we’d have to send US soldiers if they don’t provide funds to Ukraine. “If [Vladimir] Putin takes over Ukraine‚ he’ll get Moldova‚ Georgia‚ then maybe the Baltics‚” House Foreign Affairs Chairman and warmonger Michael McCaul (R-TX) told The Messenger after Austin […] The post Austin Threatens to Send US Soldiers If GOP Withholds Funds to Ukraine appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

CIA mouthpiece‚ The Washington Post‚ is promoting 15-Minute cities in the suburbs‚ which is what the UN and World Economic Forum have promoted for some time. It begins with this cheery message: Cities are in a hurry. Many are declaring themselves 15-minute metros‚ promising access to housing‚ shopping‚ schools‚ and jobs within a 15-minute-or-so walk‚ bike or […] The post WaPo Pushes 15-Minute Cities- Out of Cars- Into Climate Lockdowns appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

During testimony before Congress on Tuesday‚ top NCAA swimmer-turned-advocate Riley Gaines responded to the suggestion of another witness that athletes like Gaines learn to “lose gracefully.” Last year‚ Gaines competed in the women’s 200 freestyle at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships and placed fifth‚ tying with trans-identifying swimmer Lia Thomas‚ who previously competed on men’s teams. Thomas was given the only fifth place trophy for the photo-op after the event‚ while Gaines was told by the NCAA that her trophy would come in the mail. “Just for the record‚ I have lost gracefully many times in my career. Even speaking to the incident of Thomas and I‚ at the national championships‚ we tied for fifth — granted‚ fifth in the entire nation‚ so it’s still an incredible achievement‚” Gaines told Congress. “But there were four women who beat me. I’m incredibly proud of those women who beat me. So‚ I certainly can and have lost gracefully many times in my career.” “When I think of great Kentucky athletes‚ our witness‚ @Riley_Gaines_‚ is the first name that pops out.” @RepJamesComer DESTROYS Democrat witness who suggests talented‚ hardworking women like Riley should “lose gracefully” to biological men. pic.twitter.com/fOBe5xyUNx — Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) December 5‚ 2023 Gaines was joined by three other female witnesses to discuss the Biden administration’s proposed changes to Title IX‚ which would effectively broaden the definition of sex to include “gender identity.” The proposed changes would rewrite Title IX in such a way that policies banning biological males who identify as trans from competing with or against females would now be in violation of law. Issuing such sex distinctions to protect girls sports‚ therefore‚ could strip a school of its funding. The rule would be applied to public K-12 schools‚ colleges‚ universities‚ and other institutions that receive federal funding. Earlier in the hearing‚ a supporter of the Biden Title IX rewrite named Fatima Goss Graves‚ the president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center‚ suggested sex-separated sports actually harm girls and women‚ especially non-white athletes. In her opening statement she also emphasized how sports should teach athletes how to “learn to lose gracefully.” Rep. James Comer (R-KY)‚ when speaking to Gaines‚ blasted Goss Graves for the remarks. “I know we had a witness on the panel who suggested you should have just ‘lost gracefully‚'” the Republican said. “I think that’s a slap in the face to any athlete who works so hard.” As highlighted by The Daily Wire‚ Goss Graves during the same hearing downplayed concerns over biological males in women’s spaces‚ such as locker rooms. “I actually think this is really‚ really important‚” Graves said‚ responding to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). “The issue of privacy in locker rooms and in bathrooms – there’s a wide range of ways to address this. … You could put up a curtain‚ you could put up a door‚ you could have rotations.” At today’s hearing on protecting Title IX‚ the Democrat witness defended men beating down women by competing against them in women’s sports. But even Fatima Goss Graves’ hero‚ tennis star Serena Williams‚ admitted she would be beat in straight sets if she was forced to play… pic.twitter.com/3rqgMNBADK — Rep.

Taylor Swift revealed the surprise gift she received from country singer Kenny Chesney early in her career which she said helped “fuel my dream‚” and she’s never forgotten. As Time magazine’s “Person Of The Year” for 2023‚ the 33-year-old shared a heartbreak she experienced at age 17 that came after she’d scored a coveted spot on Chesney’s tour. “This was going to change my career‚” Swift said. “I was so excited.” However‚ when she arrived home a few weeks later‚ she saw her mom weeping on the steps and said she thought there had been a family emergency. Through the tears‚ Swift learned Chesney’s tour would be sponsored by a beer company‚ and she was too young to join. “I was devastated‚” she added.

Inside the card‚ she said‚ was a check. “It was for more money than I’d ever seen in my life‚” Swift told the outlet. “I was able to pay my band bonuses. I was able to pay for my tour buses. I was able to fuel my dreams.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Chesney told the reporter Swift’s story-telling ability is why he gave her the gift all those years ago. “She was a writer who had something to say‚” Chesney said. “That isn’t something you can fake by writing clichés. You can only live it‚ then write it as real as possible.” And while that heartbreak so many years ago seems far off given her insane popularity now‚ Swift said she’s keenly aware “nothing is permanent.” “I’ve been raised up and down the flagpole of public opinion so many times in the last 20 years‚” the “Shake It Off” hitmaker told the outlet. “I’ve been given a tiara‚ then had it taken away.” “So I’m very careful to be grateful every second that I get to be doing this at this level‚ because I’ve had it taken away from me before‚” she added. “There is one thing I’ve learned: My response to anything that happens‚ good or bad‚ is to keep making things‚” Swift continued. “Keep making art. But I’ve also learned there’s no point in actively trying to quote-unquote‚ ‘defeat your enemies.’ Trash takes itself out every single time.” Related: Taylor Swift Named Time’s ‘Person Of The Year’ For 2023: ‘Are You Not Entertained?’
