    While Nikki Haley will probably gloat a little about it officially being a “two-person race,”

    HAHAHA. Haley was never in this race. Trump never attended the debates because there was no debate and no competition from the republican side. Haley should have run as a Democrat.

    I still think the Democrats will throw in a ringer at the last minute. Biden will continue to be the face of failure of Democratic party policies until he withdraws “for health reasons”. The replacement candidate will run from a fresh platform of “all those errors were Biden’s errors”. Lots of cheap talk about working together with Republicans to get at the two big issues that matter to everyone: Climate change and comprehensive immigration reform. Then depend on the machine to generate the votes needed.

      The ballots are already generated the Democrats are just waiting to fill in the name. And then of course to have all their billionaires determine how many extra ballots need to be printed. Takes a lot of work to steal an election you know.

    14 of the richest 20 Americans contribute to the GOP, not to the Dems. Most convictions of voter fraud have been rabid GOPers. The signature on the outside of every mail in ballot must be verified by at least 2 people before bein opened
    Biden economics is killing the economy. Dow breaks 38000 for the first time. Donny openly hoping it crashes before the election. Wages going up, especially in the blue states. 15 dollar minimum now in 6places. Some red states still have a minimum wage of $7.25, lol, that is 2 bucks an hour less than KOREA.
    Honor labor.

    Ex-president Trump wants to delay any and all government efforts to control the border until AFTER the election (which he will lose but protest etc etc etc). Sigh. He is willing to roll the dice, betting the next Congress will NOT have a narrow Dem majority, and that he WILL win in 2024. Long shots all.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson admits he talks to Trump EVERY day, and admits Trump has asked/told him to NOT pass the bill.

    Johnson realizes his position depends on Trump, who would signal to House MAGAts, specifically Marjorie Taylor Greed, to dump Mike.

      That’s actually funny!

      Comedian Ricky Gervais was criticized for saying that Caitlyn Jenner’s fatal auto crash proved she was a female.

      Funny is as funny does!

    The Women’s Pro Tour say its guidelines have been formulated in alignment with those of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and United States Golf Association (USGA).

    The guidelines state players should have declared their gender as female, have undergone gender reassignment surgery and must have undergone hormonal therapy and maintained testosterone levels appropriate for the assigned sex.

    The tour says that when (Hailey) Davidson joined she complied with its policies but that her participation and success in Florida has “highlighted a range of viewpoints” and that “our decisions are guided by what is best for our players, setting aside personal beliefs”.

    Speaking to Sky News, Ayrshire-born Davidson said:, external “I recognise that I did have an unfair advantage a few years ago. I’ve been transitioning for nine years. I’ve been on hormones for almost nine years, I had surgery coming up almost on three years. I’ve lost just over 50 miles an hour swing speed.

    “Trans athletes shouldn’t be banned, but at the same time, there needs to be regulations in place because it shouldn’t just be a free for all.”

    (N.B. – Since the average swing speed of PGA players is ~ 115-120 mph, and of LPGA players ~ 95-105, it’s unlikely that Ms Davidson lost 50 mph in swing speed. She may have been misquoted (15 mph vs “50” mph) or meant she had lost 50 yards in driving distance (300 vs 250).

    Besides muscle mass/strength, males tend to be taller than females, presumed a result of estrogenic hormones causing senescence in long bone growth plates. While loss of testosterone from assignment surgery and/or androgen blockers results in the loss of muscle mass, when started after puberty bone length (height) is maintained. Height contributes to increased distance in golf, as does muscle mass. PGA players average about 300 yards of the tee, LPGA players average about 250 yards. The average male “duffers” average 250 or less. An aside: I used to play golf with a 5’1″ woman post-doc who had played for Ohio State. She was a scratch (par) golfer. I could hit it farther, but she was a more skilled golfer.

    Anyway, it’s possible that a trans woman retains an advantage based on height compared to LPGA players. It sounds as if the women’s tours are still trying to determine their most fair path forward.

    Here’s a paper examining the impact:

    Here, we report that current evidence shows the biological advantage, most notably in terms of muscle mass and strength, conferred by male puberty and thus enjoyed by most transgender women is only minimally reduced when testosterone is suppressed as per current sporting guidelines for transgender athletes.
