Massachusetts Primary Transgender Debate Could Have Implications For 2028 Democrat Primary

Don’t expect Democrats to have a reasonable position when the primaries start. Or end

Democrats hash out trans rights message in Massachusetts debate

Democrats have another chance to test their messaging about transgender rights that the party has struggled to make plain.

Two Democrats vying for the party’s Massachusetts Senate seat will face off Thursday in their final debate before the state’s Sept. 1 primary. Laws banning transgender women from participating in female sports surfaced as a key difference between Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Seth Moulton in their debate earlier this month and led to a contentious exchange.

The events represent one of few opportunities for national Democrats to publicly debate an issue Republicans have spent tens of millions of dollars attacking their support in the past several election cycles.

Democrats do not debate: they dictate. Get on the band wagon or get blasted in the face with a volleyball like a girl playing against a gender confused boy

Markey is looking to question Moulton’s commitment to trans rights given his post-2024 election stance that Democrats’ support of trans athletes was out of touch with voters. Moulton at the time cited not wanting his daughters “getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete.”

Gallup polling after that election found that 69 percent of U.S. adults — including about four in 10 Democrats — believe that transgender athletes should only be allowed to play on sports teams that match their birth sex.

And rises to near 100% when a gender confused is playing against their own daughter, taking their positions and scholarships. Same with voting age women. It’s not a hard position to also not want penis in female locker rooms, changing rooms, bathrooms, and showers.

Still, Moulton in the Aug. 3 debate apologized for those comments and tried to defend his LGBTQ+ record.

He realized he has to patronize the kooks who run the Democrat party

Lanae Erickson, senior vice president at center-left think tank Third Way, said part of the reason Republicans’ attacks have landed so well is “because Democrats were afraid to talk about” it.

“At this point, every person in America has a viewpoint on transgender participation in sports. It’s incumbent on Democrats to be able to speak about this issue authentically and not evade it,” Erickson said. “In a way that opposes blanket bans, but leaves room for people to have questions about the rules.”

In other words, come up with squishy talking points that patronize the LGBT and kook base folks while attempting to not piss off the voters

“The 2028 race is going to have a lot of pressure to go further left on all the social issues,” she said. “A primary that has 30 Democrats running for president is going to really risk elevating blue sky voices perspective over the rest of the Democratic coalition, and if we haven’t figured out how to talk about these issues by then, we’re going to miscalibrate where most voters are.”

Erickson is just one person, but, she’s not wrong. If this becomes an issue during the primaries, good chance of that, the wackos on the far, far left will push further and further left, which means more of the ones on the left will move their positions further left to satisfy the nutters in the base.

HRC President Kelley Robinson in the statement pointed to the senator’s leadership in several legislative efforts, including the Equality Act, which would explicitly codify certain anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ individuals.

“At a time when equality and freedom are under assault, we need leaders with the courage and conviction to lead — and stand unshakeable in their values,” Robinson said.

For Democrats equality means forcing biological females to accept the gender confused no matter how much it hurts females.

10K Swedes Protest For Climate (scam) Action

If only they had the same passion in stopping the 3rd worlders and Islamists who are destroying the nation

Thousands rally in Stockholm over climate crisis weeks ahead of general election

More than 10,000 people marched in Stockholm, the Swedish capital, on Sunday in a protest against human-made climate change, weeks ahead of a 13 September general election where the issue is top among Swedish voters’ concerns.

The protest comes as experts in Sweden and abroad have warned that the government’s climate policy jeopardises the country’s emissions-cutting goals, to reduce CO? emissions from transport by 70 percent from 2010 levels by 2030 and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045.

Organised by youth and sporting groups, unions, rural associations and rights groups, the rally in the Swedish capital included Sweden’s most famous climate campaigner, Greta Thunberg.

“There is absolutely no party in Sweden who are even proposing politics in line with anything close to what science says will take for us to avoid a climate disaster,” Thunberg said.

Maybe those politicians are reading what the majority of Swedes want, not what a bunch of mostly under-30s want. Also, St. Greta was still wearing her “Hate The Jews” Palestinian Intifada keffiyeh at the climate (retard) protest

According to a Verian opinion poll by the public broadcaster SVT, published on Thursday, Sweden’s centre-left opposition ?currently holds a 10-percentage-point lead over the ruling right-wing coalition

37% of respondents to the poll stated that the election’s top priority was climate change.

The government has argued that the phase-out of fossil fuels must be gradual in order to preserve and strengthen Sweden’s competitiveness and its companies.

That say that, but, most of them do not actually live it. All their phones, clothes, glasses, and more are made from petroleum. How many took fossil fueled trips to the protest? And, at the end of the day, they can say they care, but, voting tends to be different.

They look sane.

Silly Federal Judge Rules Visa Ban For 75 Nations Is Illegal

Here we go again, a single federal judge thinking she has the power to run the State Department

Trump administration’s 75-country visa ban was illegal, judge rules

A federal judge has struck down a Trump administration ban on issuing immigrant visas to people from 75 countries, saying the policy violated federal immigration law by discriminating on the basis of nationality.

The State Department said earlier this year that it was halting immigrant visas for citizens of Afghanistan, Brazil, Yemen and dozens of other countries because the Trump administration determined people from those nations were likely to need public assistance if they came to the United States.

The policy would have barred the U.S. government from issuing immigrant visas even in cases where consular officers individually assessed applicants and determined they were likely to be self-sufficient in the U.S., according to a ruling Friday by District Judge Jeannette A. Vargas in the Southern District of New York.

“In many ways, this is not a challenging case,” Vargas wrote. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 prohibits discrimination on the basis of nationality in the issuance of immigrant visas, Vargas said. However, the Trump administration’s policy banned certain people from receiving immigrant visas “based solely on their nationality,” the judge wrote.

With Marco Rubio involved I’m sure that the implemented policy complied with the law, but, with these leftard, unhinged, TDS, federal judges hearing cases you know they already have prejudged search for reasons to back up their beliefs.

“For 75 countries’ worth of families, this decision means a return to fair, case-by-case review, and a chance to be reunited with their loved ones,” said Antionette Dozier, senior attorney for Western Center on Law & Poverty, which represented the Catholic Legal Immigration Network. “No administration gets to override the law because it deems an applicant’s nationality unacceptable.”

Well, first, this will go to an appeals court. Second, the Trump admin will simply slow-walk the implementation in the meantime. Why do Democrats want people from around the world coming to the US and being drains on all our government systems? For one thing, part of getting a work or school visa is that they cannot be on government services. They have to be able to care for themselves. It’s time to stop allowing leeches into the USA.

LA Cultural Heritage Commission Upset Over Planned Anti-Homeless Fence

I’ve been told that fences do not work

I’m kinda shocked that it is only $2.3 million. That’s not enough to spread around the graft

LA Cultural Heritage Commission Voices Opposition to Fence MacArthur Park

The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission Thursday voiced their concerns over a proposed project to install a fence around MacArthur Park, arguing it would alter a cultural historic monument that has been an open landscape for Angelenos and visitors to enjoy more for than 100 years.

The Cultural Heritage Commission briefly discussed a letter Thursday morning in which they expressed their opposition to the project. The letter was sent to the Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation and its associated board of commissioners, who are overseeing the proposed fencing project.

“While the Commission is sympathetic to the Department of Recreation and Parks’ operational challenges and safety concerns, the commission is apprehensive about the concept of closing off a civic monument to the public,” according to an August 17 letter signed by Cultural Heritage Commission President Barry Milofsky.

“More specifically, the commission questions the appropriateness of the apparent permanency of the fence, as well as the height, proposed to be between 8- and 11-feet at various sections,” the letter continued.

It’s pretty much budgeted for, and they are getting ready for construction. It’s is ironic that the sanctuary city of Los Angeles wants to fence off MacArthur Park to keep all the homeless (that the city does everything to tempt to come to LA) while saying that walls along the border do not work.

Unhinged Women In Pink Rally In Favor Of Lindsay Clancy, Who Murdered Her 3 Children

There’s a saying that something is Peak X. The problem with that is that people are always able to go beyond. It continues to get worse. You thought liberal women were peak broke?

Women in pink rally in support of Lindsay Clancy at her trial for killing her 3 children

Hundreds of Lindsay Clancy supporters, many wearing pink clothing emblazoned with phrases such as “Believe,” “She Needed Help” and “Peace For Lindsay,” gathered Thursday outside the courthouse where she is on trial in the killings of her three children.

Several of the 300 women, and a few men, said Clancy’s story resonated with them and that they wanted to raise awareness about how the mental health system treats women. Clancy’s lawyer does not dispute that she killed the children, but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was mentally ill.

The livestreamed trial has sparked massive discussions online and has brought attention to postpartum psychosis, a rare mental illness Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington says she had that is linked to the stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes that follow childbirth. Reddington said she also has bipolar disorder. After strangling her children, Clancy jumped from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down.

Her mom was helping out. Her husband was working from home. She’s been given all sorts of medical/psychological help. She contrived to send her husband away on errands and then murdered her 3 kids, ages 5 years, 3 years, and 8 months. Even if suffering from postpartum psychosis, there is zero reason for so many women to support her in this manner

They’re nuts

The insanity of the Lindsay Clancy sympathizers

…..

The case is harrowing. Yet a surprising number of women online are eager to put themselves in the accused murderer’s shoes. “Same, Lindsay” is trending on TikTok. The videos follow a template: a phone propped at an intimate, low angle, a woman rocking or nursing her own toddler against her chest, voice catching as on-screen text quotes lines lifted straight from Clancy’s personal diary entries – the same ones read aloud in Plymouth Superior Court – before the caption lands on “Same, Lindsay.”

After one such clip circulated, critics accused the creator of “fake crying” while “using Lindsay Clancy’s diary words read in court” as content. One account, @courageandchaosss, fired back at the backlash: “My children are the furthest from being in danger. They have one damn good mama.”

Another posted the caption “me when I had to ask the neighbor to bathe her because I thought I would drown her,” treating a private, terrifying thought as a bonding credential. From there, the videos curdle into acquittal theater: women film themselves “hanging out their windows” to argue Clancy’s innocence despite her own lawyer conceding she did it. Others insist “he killed the kids” – pointing at Patrick, who made the 911 call – or, in one case, claiming to have dreamed that Patrick abused Cora, captioned, “Hopefully Lindsay gets justice.” Some have simply declared her the winner of a trial that hasn’t ended because she “proved postpartum psychosis the moment she killed her 3 children.”

Your Fault: Hotcoldwetdry Could Maybe Possibly Triple The Price Of Wheat

It’s your fault if only cake is left

Climate change could triple the price of wheat

Bread, pasta and breakfast cereals may seem far removed from dry fields in North America, Europe or Asia. Yet when water shortages hit several of the world’s most important wheat-growing regions simultaneously, the consequences can be felt all the way to supermarket shelves and bakery aisles.

This is the conclusion of a new international study published in the journal Earth’s Future. Researchers combined climate data, crop production areas and global commodity prices to investigate how drought affects wheat markets worldwide. The findings are striking: The extent of severe water scarcity alone can explain around 74% of annual fluctuations in global wheat prices between 2000 and 2021.

Among the co-authors is Jørgen E. Olesen, professor and head of the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University.

“We already know that climate change affects agricultural production. What is new here is that we can document a clear link between widespread drought across the globe and the prices faced by consumers and food markets,” he says.

They’re literally looking for things to scaremonger over. Wheat was down in 2025 in the US mostly because more are growing soybeans and corn (like to use as biofuels). Other areas of the world had fantastic crops.

At around 2 degrees of global warming, the model estimates an average wheat price of approximately USD 273 per tonne. At 3 degrees of warming, that figure rises to about USD 364 per tonne, roughly three times the inflation-adjusted global wheat price recorded in 2010.

So, sometime way in the future.

The researchers emphasize that drought is not the only factor influencing wheat prices. Energy and fertilizer costs, grain stocks, trade policies and geopolitical conflicts also play important roles. However, the study identifies a climate-driven factor that has previously been difficult to quantify and that already appears to be influencing global markets. That makes the findings relevant far beyond agriculture.

In other words, the other things are very important and the weather changes.

Haitians Are Being Sent Back To The Wonderful, Awesome Nation Of Haiti

It is a wonderful nation, is it not?

Here we go

ICE begins deporting Haitians who lost TPS back to homeland

The first deportation flight to Haiti since the Trump administration ended humanitarian protections for 350,000 people living in the United States landed Thursday in the Caribbean nation, and activists say immigration arrests are beginning to ramp up.

The flight carrying 170 people, ranging in age from 19 to 71, landed in Cap-Haitien, on the northern coast of Haiti. Commercial flights from the U.S. have been blocked from landing in the Caribbean nation’s primary airport in the capital of Port-au-Prince due to gang activity and reports of aircraft being struck by gunfire.

I thought it was great? Didn’t all that Clinton Foundation cash, as well as all the money and aid given after the big earthquake fix this?

The federal government has been sending deportees back to Haiti on monthly flights, but Thursday’s removal was among the largest that community leaders said they had seen during the second Trump administration.

Many of the passengers had been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the last three weeks, and at least one had recently lost temporary protected status, according to Guerline Jozef of the Haitian Bridge Alliance.

“People are losing TPS status and losing their asylum cases,” she said. “It’s become easier and easier to be taken and deported.”

As it should be.

On Thursday, community leaders in Springfield, Ohio, said ICE arrested a well-known Christian pastor, Joubert Adrien. He was driving home when officers boxed in his vehicle at a gas station, the activists said. He had recently lost TPS, according to Vilés Dorsainvil of the Haitian Support Center.

The arrest has sent chills through Adrien’s congregation and the larger Haitian community, Dorsainvil added.

Which is the point, so that they leave, be it back to Haiti or somewhere else. The T stands for temporary, and it’s time to go back and make Haiti great again.
