One of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas' former teammates at the University of Pennsylvania has bashed the school for making female athletes undress beside the 6-foot-4 biological male '18 times a week.' Paula Scanlan, a former NCAA Division I swimmer, told lawmakers that university officials refused to hear complaints from the women athletes and instead said they should be 'reeducated'. Whether to let trans women compete in women's sports is a frontline issue in America's culture wars between progressives and conservatives. It played out in the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. 'My teammates and I were forced to undress in the...

When I was a boy there were occasionally lurid stories in the news that fascinated us about Japanese soldiers found on deserted Pacific islands, still fighting World War II decades after the war ended. These were sad, embittered and deranged individuals who had cut themselves off from the world and prosecuted their war alone. They lived furtively, rather like mole rats in caves, like some gollum from a Tolkien story, half starving, hysterical, half mad. And then came adolescence and girls and competitive sport into my life with the faint promise of learning to drive a powerful V-8. So the...

A 24-year-old transgender socialist who referred to herself as a 'poly, kinky trans, lesbian' announced her bid to unseat a Queens assemblyman accused of sexual abuse and become Albany's first openly trans legislator. Émilia Decaudin announced that she is running for the District 37 Assembly seat in an interview with THE CITY on Tuesday. Decaudin said she would run against Assembly member Juan Ardila, who has resisted calls from party leaders to resign over accusations of sexual misconduct. She credits her decision to run with the 'the lack of leadership in the district right now' along with a need for...

The Biden administration will announce Friday it is ready to distribute $20 billion in taxpayer dollars for “clean energy projects” across the nation. These include – but are not limited to – building more electric vehicle charging stations, residential heat pumps, and community cooling centers, all as the Biden administration continues its drive to push Americans away from relying on fossil fuels. Two programs from a federal “green bank” worth more than $14 billion and $6 billion between them will offer competitive grants to states, tribes and nonprofits to invest in clean energy projects, with a focus on disadvantaged communities,...

President Joe Biden has again been accused of delivering angry, abusive outbursts against his own staff when behind closed doors, a report Monday details. Axios reporter Alex Thompson laid out the accusations in a piece headlined — “Old yeller: Biden’s private fury” The story makes the point Biden likes to portray himself as a kindly figure given to eating ice cream and chatting to small children in public but in private he is reportedly prone to yelling invective. Thompson states: Behind closed doors, Biden has such a quick-trigger temper that some aides try to avoid meeting alone with him. Some...

This is not DU! Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL! Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc. We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "commrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked. Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be...

On Saturday, Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued a preliminary injunction that allows Tennessee’s law to prohibit health care providers from performing or administering cross-sex procedures on minors to take place, a week after a federal judge blocked it. “Because Tennessee is likely to succeed on its appeal of the preliminary injunction, we grant the stay,” Mr. Sutton wrote. Tennessee was one of several states this year to pass legislation to shield minors from cross-sex surgery, procedures, and hormones, which fall under the umbrella of “gender-affirming care,” and many of these...

Congressional Democrats have joined in bipartisan effort to reform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act amid abuses exposed in special counsel probes and in federal court. But GOP outrage over the matter, including recent calls out impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland over such matters, has likely hurt such efforts. Congressional reauthorization of FISA is due in December, with particular focus on Section 702 of the law, which permits the government to conduct targeted surveillance on foreign people outside the U.S., with the assistance of electronic communication service providers, to acquire foreign intelligence information. Beyond concerns about FISA abuses, lawmakers are also...

A Brooklyn brute landed himself in the doghouse Friday after cops found the owner’s helpless pooch dangling from a fifth-floor banister, law enforcement sources said. Cops collared sicko Shatik Bennett, 26, at his East Flatbush apartment just before 6 a.m. when the NYPD’s Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad found the helpless adult pit bull, Romeo, swinging from the elevated railing by a leash that was attached to a collar. Bennett was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals after a tipster alerted cops that Bennett was allegedly abusing Romeo to make him “tough,” sources said. “The dog is a sweetheart. Once we...

It’s easy for conservatives to think of the LGBT activist crowd as constantly crying wolf over pronouns and “deadnames,” but when self-described “queer” people try to describe who they are and what they do, pay attention. A prime example of this principle occurred just this week: participants in New York City’s annual Pride Parade chanted, “We’re coming for your children.”

On May 4, 2004, David Reimer drove to a supermarket car park and, still sitting in the car, pulled out a shotgun and killed himself. At 38, he ended a life that had been so full of pain and anguish that some who knew him were only surprised he had battled on for so long. From when he was only a few months old until into his teenage years, David had been subjected to a perverse, cruel and disastrously misguided experiment by a celebrated sex psychologist who was determined to show the world that he could transform a boy into...

For the entirety of his 2020 presidential campaign and the 28 months of his presidency, Joe Biden has been a sick man. During the campaign, he was so feeble that his political handlers kept him locked in the basement.

Georgia parents were arrested for child abuse and negligence after their starving 10-year-old son was found wandering their neighborhood looking for a grocery store where he could beg for food. They said the boy was intentionally starved and weighed only about 36 pounds when he was rescued, nearly the weight of an average 4-year-old. The parents were accused of locking the child inside his bedroom and leaving him alone in the home for “extended periods of time, and on multiple occasions, with no access to lights, food, clothing or adult interaction and/or assistance,” according to court documents. They also allegedly...

The special counsel’s report provides the summary Americans need to understand the breadth of the malfeasance.. Special Counsel John Durham released his long-awaited report on the Crossfire Hurricane investigation Monday. While the 306-page report includes some new details of the Russia-collusion hoax, the Clinton campaign’s role in the plot, and the FBI and intelligence agencies’ misconduct, much of the content merely rehashes what conservative media have reported for the last five years. Still, our country needed a public record of the events that represent one of the biggest political scandals in American history, and on that front Durham delivered. FBI’s...

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday was found liable of sexual abuse and defamation — and ordered to pay more than $5 million in damages — by a federal jury in writer E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit accusing him of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room decades ago. The nine person jury — three women and six men — decided the case after three hours of deliberations that began just before noon Tuesday. The jurors found that Carroll, 79, proved her 2019 lawsuit claiming that the 45th president raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room — most likely...
