I agree and it should be mandatory. Everyone who advocates this must be mandated to do it and go to jail if they get caught eating anything else. Everyone else on the planet can continue to make their own choices.

Re: Pro Abortion Extremists Threaten To Burn Down Supreme Court…

I guess they are the “right wing extremists” the Capitol Police warned us about shortly after the leaking of the draft opinion on Roe.

To be fair, that SI cover model ain't a bad-looking lady. But the majority of American men aren't keen on that body type. A few decades of Marxist indoctrination won't overtake centuries of basic biology.

I think she's good looking. Well within the range of a typical woman's figure.

#4.1 jack walter on 2022-05-20 17:12 (Reply)

She looks like any healthy young Mediterranean woman at any time in the past - she could be beautiful dressed up and not in a swimsuit. Nothing wrong with her body at all - she just isn't the idealized type.

If guys like George Monbiot believe biotech food factories can replace farms, then he ought to do or join a start-up developing biotech food factories. Of course we all know leftists do not create value of their own but, rather, seek to parasitize value created by others.

Vangelis was a great composer. Unique. He will be missed.

George Monbiot, pro abortion extremists, Democrat nutter, Sports Illustrated, US soccer, CNN, MSNBC, and Biden...they could all use an increase in testosterone levels.

Believe me, George Monbiot is a very, very silly man and should simply be ignored. Not for nothing does his surname resemble moonbat.

(I know this not only from the gibberish he writes for The Grauniad but also by being at close range; I lived in London for several years and had the misfortune to encounter him a couple of times.)

Re: Democrat Nutter: Men Can Get Pregnant And Have Abortions…

After the idiot witness said that men could become pregnant and have abortions, Representative Bishop missed a golden opportunity to then ask, "I'm a man. Can I get pregnant?"

From there all sorts of great questions can follow.

#8 mudbug on 2022-05-20 12:05 (Reply)

The whole point of the exchange is the part that was ignored in the coverage and analysis. The Senator's point is that a Man is not a Woman under any circumstances in a sane society. A transgender individual will always be sterile and transgender - a walking tragedy in the human condition.

The witness's testimony was pointing out that a pregnant man has already happened: A surgically-implanted fertilized egg with souped-up endocrine enhancements and constant attention has been brought to term. It follows that such a medical procedure could be reversed by a doctor unethical enough to dabble with it in the first place.

If the object of the exchange was to point out the untenable nature of the witness's position, then it failed completely, didn't it? The modern press fails us 98% of the time whether it's Progressive or Conservative on the mast head. That is to the shame of our society.

#8.1 Aggie on 2022-05-20 13:05 (Reply)

I understood the purpose of the exchange. MY point was that he missed an opportunity for her to explain just how much of an idiot she is.

Example:
Bishop: I'm a man. Can I get pregnant?

If the witness said he can...
Bishop: But I don't have ovaries or a uterus. How could I possibly get pregnant?

Or if he wanted to inject some humor...
Bishop: So if a man and a woman have sex, should the man be concerned about getting pregnant?

If the witness said he can't get pregnant, then she just contradicted herself...
Bishop: But just a moment ago you said that men could get pregnant. Is there a certain type of man that can get pregnant? What kind of man can get pregnant than?

If the witness said that only transwomen could get pregnant, she contradicts herself. To which Bishop could reply...
Bishop: Then what you're saying is that only men who are biological women can get pregnant?

I think he minored in disinformation and majored in dysfunctionalism at the School of Clownworthiness.

The real problem with the contract deal for the US Women's team is that the Women's World Cup pays somewhere between diddley and squat to win. This is largely due to the fact that the TV rights to the Women's tournament is, in most countries, little more than a throw-in wtih the right to the Men's World Cup. If all the male players that came forward in support of giving the women a better deal, they should have made their beef with FIFA, not witih the US Federation.
Of course they won't, since that would risk them getting blackballed from playing internatonal club soccer, which is where the few top-rank American male players derive most of their income.

This is socialism and quite stupid. It is essentially openly admitting that no one gives a shit about women's soccer so men's soccer must pay the women's wages to make believe that they are actually worth watching. l Would be ashamed if I were on the women's soccer team. Get rid of the lesbian activists and "maybe" more people would watch women's soccer.

U.S. Soccer Agrees to Pay Men and Women Equally

The comments on Front Page for this one were fair to good. Reading them made me think of HS freshmen gym class. The games our coach/instructor came up with.

BiffBall - each player wore a boxing glove on one hand to biff/punch the other players. You were only allowed to punch someoe when YOU had the ball. If you were caught punching without the ball in your posession it was a foul. It was great fun. The bigger fellows spent more time chasing the others guys down to administer punches than shooting baskets when they had the ball. 1970 was a long time ago….

RIP Vangelis. I love the music you left behind.

New York's Eric Adams should be more succinct. What happens to black children who qualify for the gifted programs the leftists want to end?

Re Sports Illustrated. If some men want to look at fat women in skimpy swimsuits, more power to them. I don't think it's going to going to work for the bottom line.

If every climate change accolyte self-immolated, not only would it raise ecoconsciousness, it could reduce the human population’s pressure on climate change.

So go forth climate change accolytes - be somebody!

Re Sports Illustrated. and fat women. It becomes comedy and cause for derision. Everyone but Sports illustrated and the fat models get it. But it's kind of mean, it's like making fun of mentally ill people. Sports Illustrated shouldn't do this, it's just not nice for these poor fat ladies to be laughed at.

#13 OneGuy on 2022-05-20 22:37 (Reply)

"Progressive" always reminds me of CANCER, as cancer is "progressive".

Sports Illustrated: Is that still something? Not for me!

Soccer: I have NO interest. Same for football. Also, CNN (as I call it, the Crap "News" Netweak.

MSNBC: As above.

If You're Reading This, Karine Jean-Pierre Probably Hates You: I'm not reading her. not now, not later, NEVER.

"The Typhoid Mary of Disinformation": Nicolle Wallace. Nobody Spreads it More Relentlessly." I gave up on The ATLANTIC in 2015 when it went NEVER TRUMP.

"George Monbiot says farming should be ABOLISHED to save the planet"

These people deserve to be publicly executed. There has developed an entire industry based on these retarded lies. At the very least, he should live out his wretched life in the manner he prescribes for others: freezing and starving in the dark.
