Tucker Carlson interviewed Conservative Libertarian Rep. Thomas Massie. He began the interview by explaining that Ukraine was never going to beat Russia‚ and the US has lost a lot because we supported Ukraine. We all know Ukraine won’t win‚ but Congress will keep this going anyway. Most of Congress supports continuing the war‚ but Thomas […] The post Tucker Carlson Interviews Rep.

A 62-year-old former police officer named Michael Chadwell sent a meme of multi-colored parrots and children of diverse ethnic backgrounds accompanied by text asking why diversity is celebrated in animal species but not humanity. The meme said‚ “Because I’ve never had a bike stolen out of my front yard by a parrot.” He only shared […] The post Ex-UK Cop Convicted of an Offensive Parrot Meme‚ Faces Prison Time appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Representatives and witnesses highlighted concerns for girls and women during a contentious hearing on Tuesday challenging 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. The hearing opened with a rather fiery interaction between former NCAA swimmer-turned-advocate Riley Gaines and Democratic Rep. Summer Lee (PA)‚ who preemptively suggested Gaines and other witnesses’ testimonies would be “transphobic” and filled with “hateful misinformation.” “And Ranking Member Lee‚ if my testimony makes me transphobic‚ then I believe you’re opening monologue makes you a misogynist‚” Gaines said in closing her opening statement. Lee interrupted the next witness to ask to have Gaines’ words taken down. Gaines chimed in‚ “Can I just ask‚ how it’s fair to be called transphobic —” before Lee interjected‚ “I never called you anything.” Lee was ultimately unsuccessful in her effort‚ as the point of order was withdrawn. 🚨BREAKING: After Democrat @RepSummerLee (D-PA) said @Riley_Gaines_ engages in "transphobic bigotry" by opposing boys in girls sports‚ Riley fired back by saying "if my testimony makes me transphobic then you are a misogynist." Lee then moved to have her words taken down. pic.twitter.com/MdZRc4RgUM — Greg Price (@greg_price11) December 5‚ 2023 Gaines and other witnesses argued that refusing to separate sports by sex harms women and girls; they cited studies showing the physical differences between males and females post-puberty‚ even after hormone treatments; argued that women and girls are losing out on scholarships and other opportunities; discussed the invasion of girls’ privacy in places like locker rooms; and noted female athletes who’ve been physically harmed by biologically male opponents. “Not only do women have to worry about losing out on opportunities and being exploited in locker rooms‚ allowing men into women’s sports also puts girls at greater risk of injury‚” Gaines said. “In September of last year‚ North Carolina volleyball player Payton McNabb suffered serious injury after a trans-identified male player spiked a ball at her head‚ rendering her unconscious. Payton experienced extensive trauma to her head and neck and long-term concussion symptoms. Still to this day‚ a year and three-ish months later‚ she is still partially paralyzed on her right side‚ her vision is impaired‚ and she isn’t playing college sports‚ like she had dreamed of.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The Biden administration’s Title IX rewrite is a direct attack on women’s rights.@Riley_Gaines_ has more courage than many of our elected officials‚ who let men compete in women’s sports and invade female-only spaces instead of standing up to pressure from left-wing activists. pic.twitter.com/muptQ768cn — Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) December 5‚ 2023 Sarah Parshall Perry of The Heritage Foundation‚ another witness at the hearing‚ argued that separating sports by sex comes down to common sense‚ adding that it’s also widely supported by the American people. “Ultimately‚ what keeps us here is our failure to identify biological distinctions between one sex and another‚” Perry said. “We can use terms like ‘cis’ or ‘trans’ all we want‚ but men and women are different and the American public knows it‚ which is why 70% of the American populace wants sports separated by sex.” Perry also noted that nearly two dozen states have already passed legislation to protect girls and women’s sports; those states would face “significant financial harm” under the proposed Biden rule-change. She also predicted that if the Biden rule were to go through‚ it would “automatically be challenged in a federal court.” Supporters of the Biden rule-change spoke a lot about supposed “bigotry” and “transphobia” of those who disagree with them‚ as underscored by Lee’s opening remarks. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) even argued that supporting sex-separated sports is akin to supporting racism. Fatima Goss Graves‚ president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center‚ agreed with AOC that rules protecting women’s sports hurt black and brown people most. She also argued that the issue of women’s privacy in locker rooms could be addressed by “curtains” or “doors” during a heated exchange with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). “I actually think this is really‚ really important‚” Graves said when pressed by MTG about Gaines having to share a locker room with a biological male during collegiate swimming. “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.” Greene moved on to Gaines‚ who said those are not in swimming locker rooms and suggested that the onus should not be on women and girls. At today’s hearing on protecting Title IX‚ the Democrat witness defended men beating down women by competing against them in women’s sports.

Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) December 5‚ 2023 The hearing also made mention of DailyWire+ comedy “Lady Ballers‚” which skewers radical gender ideology in women’s sports. Gaines said she was pleased that the movie “mocked the mockery” some on the Left have made of women and girls. “I encourage everyone to watch it‚” she said. “Watching that movie … didn’t feel like satire. It felt like a documentary of what‚ again‚ myself and girls around the country continue to go through.” WATCH: .@RepEricBurlison: "If it weren't so tragic‚ it would be comical.

President Joe Biden said he is “not sure” he would be running for re-election in 2024 if former President Donald Trump was not also seeking a second term. The commander in chief made the comment during remarks to donors at one of the fundraisers he attended on Tuesday in Massachusetts. “If Trump wasn’t running‚ I’m not sure I’d be running. But we cannot let him win‚” Biden said‚ according to a press pool report from the event. This appears to be a shift from Biden’s stance as recently as April‚ when he said he thought that would still be running again even if Trump was not. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN)‚ who is running a long-shot challenge against Biden for the Democratic Party’s 2024 nomination‚ responded to Biden’s quote on Tuesday‚ saying on X‚ “Says the candidate with lower approval figures and losing to Trump in every poll of consequence. It’s downright delusional.” Ahead of a possible rematch against Trump‚ who is the clear frontrunner to secure the GOP presidential nomination next year‚ Biden has leaned on messaging that hearkens back to January 6 and warns of Trump’s talk of “retribution” if re-elected. “Our democracy is at stake‚” Biden said in a speech last week. But Biden is facing mounting concerns about his fitness to serve a second term. Already the oldest person to be president‚ Biden would be 86 at the end of a second term. His tendency to lose his train of thought while speaking‚ along with moments caught on camera where he has tripped or fallen over‚ have spurred concerns about Biden’s ability to lead effectively. Polling this year reflects concerns about the president being too old‚ and some Democrats‚ including former Obama adviser David Axelrod‚ have openly pondered the wisdom of Biden running for a second term. Biden snapped at a reporter‚ saying “that’s stupid‚” when asked last month if he was too old to be running again. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Trump is 77‚ but polls don’t reflect as much concern about his age as they do with Biden. Trump even released a doctor’s note touting a clean bill of health on Biden’s 81st birthday on November 20. Still‚ Trump faces his own challenges. He has to contend with a flurry of criminal and civil cases that are lining up trial dates throughout the 2024 election calendar. Though some challengers have recently dropped out‚ Trump still faces rivals in the GOP nomination fight including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former United Nations Ambassador and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. When it comes to the prospect of a general election clash‚ Trump has been narrowly topping Biden in head-to-head polls taken over the past several weeks‚ including in battleground states. And Biden’s approval numbers have been sinking into the 30s lately. But there are other factors at play‚ including a third-party run by Robert Kennedy Jr.‚ who has received double-digit support in some polling examining a three-way matchup.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called out women’s groups and human rights groups on Tuesday over their silence about Hamas’ brutal‚ sadistic sexual violence against Israeli women. Netanyahu made the remarks while speaking at a press conference in Tel Aviv alongside Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz as horrifying stories have emerged in recent days of the extreme acts of violence that the Palestinian terrorists have inflicted upon Israeli women. “I heard heartbreaking stories of abuse‚” he says. “I heard‚ as you have heard‚ about sexual abuse and unprecedented cases of cruel rape.” He said that women’s groups and human rights groups have not “scream[ed]” about what has happened‚ and asked if they were silent because the violence was against Jewish women. “I say to the women’s rights organizations‚ to the human rights organizations‚ you’ve heard of the rape of Israeli women‚ horrible atrocities‚ sexual mutilation? Where the hell are you?” he asked. “I expect all civilized leaders‚ governments‚ nations to speak up against this atrocity‚” he added. I say to the women's rights organizations‚ to the human rights organizations: You've heard of the rape of Israeli women‚ horrible atrocities‚ sexual mutilation – where the hell are you? I expect all civilized leaders‚ governments‚ nations‚ to speak up against this atrocity. pic.twitter.com/eFg3i6Y24h — Prime Minister of Israel (@IsraeliPM) December 5‚ 2023 Israeli officials and eyewitness accounts have painted a grisly picture about what happened on October 7 as experts say that Hamas had a premeditated plan “to use sexual violence as a weapon of war.” “They cut limbs and genitals‚ they raped‚ they abused corpses‚” said Israeli Police Chief Kobi Shabtai. “There were sadistic sexual acts.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Some of the rapes against grandmothers‚ women‚ and children were so violent that the women had their pelvises broken. Women were gang raped by the Palestinian terrorists‚ some of whom shot and killed the women “while inside her‚” according to eyewitness accounts. Another highly disturbing report that was published over the weekend revealed that one woman was gang raped by eight to ten terrorists. “She was screaming‚ ‘Stop it already! I’m going to die anyway from what you are doing‚ just kill me!’” an eyewitness said. “When they finished‚ they were laughing‚ and the last one shot her in the head.” Related: Gal Gadot Demands Human Rights Orgs Immediately Pressure Hamas To Release All Female Hostages
