Sex Is Real

KANTER FREEDOM EJECTED FROM WNBA GAME OVER 'WOMAN: ADULT HUMAN FEMALE' SHIRT...

Read at foxnews.com →

Security tossed former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom from Sunday's Fever–Sky game in Chicago — no reason given, by his account — after Sky guard Natasha Cloud confronted him for cheering a Sophie Cunningham three while wearing a shirt reading "WOMAN noun. adult human female." Cloud cursed him out in front of kids, posted a pro-trans manifesto after the game, and her coach praised her for it. The Sky knew he was coming; the GM texted back "Enjoy the game."

Freedom has declared for the 2027 WNBA draft to force the league to define its own rule: the CBA says "only players who are women" are eligible — and never says what a woman is. G League players told him the quiet part out loud: identify as a woman and the salary jumps from $45,000 to $1.4 million. "This is not a right or left issue," Freedom said. "I'm only here to defend women."


WNBA COACHES CALL SAVING WOMEN’S SPORTS “POLITICAL NOISE”...

WNBA coaches slammed the Save Women’s Sports movement as tensions flared outside an arena. The league continues to chase biological men in women’s uniforms while pretending the fight is about politics instead of fairness.

A Seattle Times sports columnist resigned after the paper refused to publish his story on girls forced to compete against male athletes. The credentialed press would rather bury the truth than admit sex is real.

RECORDS EXPOSE PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S 14-POINT PLAYBOOK FOR STATE AGs TO TARGET PRO-LIFERS...

Read at Daily Signal →

One month after Dobbs, Planned Parenthood handed Democrat attorneys general a 14-point plan to go after crisis pregnancy centers — the places that give expecting moms care, food, clothing, and shelter — and the AGs ran the plays, according to records the Daily Signal pulled from Wisconsin AG Josh Kaul's office. Consumer alerts branding CPCs "misinformation" (Ellison delivered within a month), FTC referrals, state FACE Act enforcement, AG opinions asserting minors can consent to abortion, and legal task forces in Arizona, California, New Jersey, and New York.

New Jersey's Matthew Platkin went furthest — subpoenaing a pregnancy center for the names, addresses, and employers of every donor, a move the Supreme Court unanimously shut down this April as a First Amendment violation. The memo traveled through the Progressive State Leaders Committee, a "nonprofit" with no paid staff that shares an address with the Democratic AGs Association. Their own complaint tells the story: pregnancy centers outnumber abortion clinics 3-to-1. That's the pro-life movement winning on the ground — and Big Abortion weaponizing state law enforcement to stop it.

TALARICO: GOD IS NOT A CHRISTIAN, RAISING KIDS IN RELIGION IS LIKE FORCING THEM TO DRINK ALCOHOL...

Read at Daily Wire →

Texas Democrat James Talarico said in an unearthed sermon that God is not a Christian, religion is bad and divisive, and he feels ashamed to admit he is Christian because of toxic Christian Nationalism. He compared raising children in a faith to forcing them to drink alcohol.

The same radical wing just got Bernie Sanders’ endorsement for a Florida Senate seat. Democrats are more radical than ever — and the midterm stakes could not be higher.
