Shutting America down was the worst thing to happen to local government and other assorted bureaucrats. Once people were told they couldn't go to work or leave their homes, there were no more distractions from what really gets taught in schools. Or even more specifically, the extreme leftist agenda being pushed in schools. School boards are justifiably hearing it from everyone: white, black, AAPI, and even adorable little children. Each video of civic-minded residents lighting up the idiots behind the scenes grows more and more patriotic.
The latest video making it's way around the interwebs is from this Ohio school board meeting. It starts with an African-American mother sharing a story about the two doctors she raised and how everyone in the district got along. It ends with the mayonnaise-looking school board president trying to whitesplain to her about time limits.
This starts at the 45:00 minute mark. If for some reason it doesn't, fast forward to the 45:00 mark.
Chelsea Mitchell is a high school track star who feels she's been robbed of opportunities being forced to compete against biological males. It's a contentious and "controversial" issue unless you're most Americans who understand science. A lawsuit has been filed on her behalf. Mitchell wrote an Op/Ed about the matter for USA Today. Let me let you in on some insider lingo: "Op" stands for "opinion." Mitchell expressed her opinion. Someone who disagrees can write a rebuttal to express their opinion. That was how it worked in the olden days. Today? You can get USA Today to apologize for even running the piece and have them edit the op-ed on your behalf.
.@USATODAY published our client Chelsea Mitchell's opinion about the unfairness she experienced being forced to compete against male athletes. But after backlash from the woke mob, editors unilaterally changed Chelsea's words & called them “hurtful language." 1/3 pic.twitter.com/tAtzrZgPzt

Chelsea's op-ed now contains the following disclaimer/apology/the editors begging for forgiveness:
This column has been updated to reflect USA TODAY's standards and style guidelines. We regret that hurtful language was used.
Here is an original paragraph of what's considered Chelsea's "hurtful language."
Instead, all I can think about is how all my training, everything I've done to maximize my performance, might not be enough, simply because there's a runner on the line with an enormous physical advantage: a male body.
Nothing hurtful there that I see. It sounds more like science. Males and females have different biological traits. Some male traits are superior to some female traits, and vice versa. We were intelligently designed that way. If you want to find the hurtful language, you need to look really closely. Squint and try to turn off your brain. It's near the end of the sentence.
It's the word "male." As in, a biological male.
Instead, all I can think about is how all my training, everything I've done to maximize my performance, might not be enough, simply because there's a transgender runner on the line with an enormous physical advantage.
What I find most hysterical is that the word "male" isn't the most relevant part of that sentence. You can call the opposing runner male, transgender, or ham sandwich. What makes Chelsea's case is "enormous physical advantage." As in, the enormous physical advantage people who are born wielding a penis are born with. Her argument is still valid. Trans-activists (presumably) tweeting angry things at the newspaper aren't disputing that. USA Today and the permaoffended woke mob are simply arguing over labels. Their outrage only draws more attention to the issue.
Message received. Transgenders are okay with the unfair advantage. Just don'tt misgender them.
From Hollywood to COVID-19 to Joe Biden, China has been getting its hands on every aspect of American culture. We expose how and why that's a problem. Also, this may surprise you, but Biden's nominee to lead the ATF is a complete imbecile when it comes to guns. With special guest RUDY GULIANI.

NBA/ESPN- In 2019, ESPN and the NBA were barred from talking about the Hong Kong protests.
Chuck Salituro, the senior news director of ESPN, sent a memo mandating any discussion of Daryl Morey avoid mentioning China and Hong Kong. SOURCE: Deadspin
As a reminder, Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey sparked controversy after tweeting "Stand for freedom, fight for Hong Kong."
This tweet caused numerous Chinese companies to withdraw sponsorships of the Houston Rockets, and the Chinese internet/cable provider Tencent stopped airing Rockets games. SOURCES: Deadspin,Reuters
The NBA posted two different statements reacting to Morey's tweet, one in English and one in Chinese.
The Chinese statement was posted on Weibo and said the NBA was "extremely disappointed" by the "inappropriate comment" and that Morey's view "severely hurt the feelings of Chinese fans." SOURCE: ABC
The English version, however, given by NBA spokesman Mike Bass, read: "We recognize that the views expressed by Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey have deeply offended many of our friends and fans in China, which is regrettable." SOURCE: ABC
It never used the words "extremely disappointed" or "inappropriate."

However, now that the "right" people are saying the 'rona could be man-made, suddenly this is no longer a conspiracy theory. Curious what changed and how we got to this point? Here's Tucker Carlson with a handy explainer.
Can we just admit that Ron DeSantis has won? Not that the pandemic was a competition between the states. But we did wind up with fifty different examples of governing, and DeSantis crushed everyone. He made Andrew Cuomo his bitch, forced Gavin Newsom to cry mean girl tears, and caused Greg Abbott to say, "oh, so that's what an actual FREE state looks like." America's Governor went from having leftist dickweeds protesting as the grim reaper to a 53% approval rating due to his leadership. He's Tom Brady winning the Super Bowl and Bobby Lashley retaining the WWE title. Both events, mind you, also happened in Florida this year.
The corporate media won't give up. One outlet sent a reporter down for Florida's school openings to try and catch someone upset over maskless freedom. DeSantis dropped a few bars over it.
I think they sent, like, one of the corporate media outlets sent some reporter down. They were trying to make fun of Baker. "Oh, these yokels are having kids going to school. How crazy are these people, right?" The crazy ones are the people who are vaccinated still wearing six masks in New York City to be honest with you.
Interesting factoid about this clip. It's from a press conference where Ron DeSantis announced BONUSES for Florida teachers. Similar to the bonuses he gave to first responders. That means to the progressive nincompoops no doubt tweeting that DeSantis hates teachers by opening schools...
2024 is a ways off. DeSantis still needs to get past reelection in 2022 and his opponent ... former Florida governor Charlie Crist. Should DeSantis be able to easily dispose of this "threat," he's the clear front runner to go up against Joe Biden. The campaign would be simple. Compare records. DeSantis has a good one.
If you are an American even marginally concerned about the second amendment, you've no doubt been mocked by leftists. "You silly rube. Democrats aren't coming for your guns." Even when Joe Biden said he's coming for our guns and nominated an anti-gun looney tune for ATF Director, we're the ones being paranoid. We're told it's insane to think that the government is coming for our guns. Independent "fact" checkers say so.
Today, Ted Cruz got David Chipman -- the looney tune in question -- to testify under oath he plans on banning guns. It may not be what he said verbatim, but it's pretty damn close.
WATCH: Sen. Ted Cruz gets Joe Biden's ATF Director nominee David Chipman to admit that he wants to BAN the AR-15, the most popular rifle in America.
TED CRUZ: You said your views on guns are NOT out of step with the American people. Do you still want to ban the AR-15, the most popular rifle in America? It's a rifle and NOT a machine gun. Contrary to what some other people ::cough:::youridiotboss::cough:: think.
DAVID CHIPMAN: Senator, you're g*ddamned right I want to ban the AR-15. Also, thank you for the Dr. Pepper.
Quickly, am I the only one who thinks Chipman reminds them of Uncle Arthur from Bewitched?
Joe Biden's nominee for Alcohol, Tobacco, and FIREARM Director, under oath, admitted that he wants to ban the AR-15. Chipman said UNDER OATH that he wants to ban the most popular rifle in America. The Biden Administration is coming for your guns.
An "independent" "fact" checker may say that statement is false. Joe Biden isn't literally coming for your guns himself. But the guy whose job it will be to do so just admitted under oath he wants to do so. It's bad enough.
I don't know what to make of Russell Brand. Going from avowed socialist to based podcaster over the course of seven years is quite the intellectual leap. Maybe he replaced the cocaine with red pills. Or, crushed up the red pills to snort like cocaine. Maybe he's acting and knows bloggers will write about him when he has opinions I -- I mean THEY -- agree with. Or, maybe it's as simple as leftists going so batsh!t crazy during the Trump years, it caused a legit come to Jesus moment for the actor.
On his recent podcast with guest Glenn Greenwald, Brand broke the news that social media companies and the media conspired to elect Joe Biden. He points to the way Big Tech censored stories about Schmunter Schmiden. Honestly, I'm still not sure if I'm allowed to say his name.
