How This Trans-Sport Thing Will End

 In recent weeks....lot of negative hype (especially by young ladies) over young Trans-sports folks exceeding and breaking records.  After pondering over this....I will make this prediction.

Over the next five years....various women's sports will be taken over by young Trans people.  Some will be fully trans.....some will be marginally trans, and some will simply claim/identify themselves as females but just have long hair, painted nails, and wear female attire.  

Some high school girl's basketball teams will be filled with a starting five of trans folks.  

In some regions, an entire girl's volleyball team will be totally trans.  

Somewhere around 2025, a 'we-quit' campaign will start with young ladies refusing to participate in any sport....either at high school or college level.  It'll be noticeable at some colleges that one out of every three girl's sports scholarships will be going to a trans athlete.

Then at the 2026 Olympics....almost 50-percent of the women's sports will be filled on the American side by trans athletes.  

In 2027, a massive public outcry starts up over this, and audiences at female competitions will drift down to almost nothing.     Judges and courts will side with the trans athletes.  

So the simplest solution will occur....no one will care about female sports.  No audiences....no spectators.....no real TV coverage for college-level female sports.  Around 2030....female sports will have mostly dissolved away to nothing.  In some funny way....almost 90-percent of women are now converted into conservative voters.  Democrats will be shocked over how this trend dissolved their standing among female voters.

Just An Odd Thing

 Before Facebook and Twitter came along.....did you notice that we had virtually zero fact-checkers existing?  

If we removed Facebook/Twitter tomorrow.....would all the fact-checkers just go away?

Should The Term 'Homelessness' Be Retired?

 There was an interesting point made on the Fox program, 'The Five', for yesterday....on the term 'homelessness'.

It was created as one single umbrella, and you could talk about various folks who fell under the umbrella.  The problem is....these were various groups.

There were the people down on their luck....the drug addicts....the nutcases....the people with zero job skills....and the people who were severally abused in their youth.

Each has a different issue and a different solution....so it's a waste of time to package them into one single focus group.

In some areas of the US now....you've got a 'Mogadishu-like' situation brewing....where it's not really the police that you need to come and rescue you....it's some lite-Army-pretender unit.  

It's time to crank out some new words to define people seem to drift around the homeless umbrella....and identify them correctly.  

If You Read Between The Lines: Biden's Supreme Court Committee

 After a lot of talking and thinking....Biden's commission on updating the Supreme Court came to a conclusion.  The only thing that they did seem to agree upon....maybe there ought to be a 'cycle' where a Supreme Court judge stands for 18 years, then moves on.  This would be done in a cycle, ensuring each President had one chance to nominate a new guy/gal.  

Getting this actually done?  Well....you'd have to go to the Constitution, and get a two-third's vote of both the House and Senate....then get 38 states to agree to this.

Added to this burden, logically....once you openly discussed this 'forced' upon the Supreme Court.....the public would ask why you couldn't do the same thing to the House and Senate....enforcing a 18-year cycle upon them.  

For a lot of Democrats who felt the commission would write the script to 'fix' their court problem?  This was a total failure.  

USA Today Headline: Is Math Racist?

 Yesterday, as a topic for it's daily paper.....USA Today asked the question.....is math racist?

I've seen the subject on more than a couple of occasions, and generally laughed over the discussion.

There are around four issues which seem to 'hover' above this topic.

First, ever since Black Lives Matter started up.....they needed 'targets' to hype upon and this math business is one of them.  The belief is that black kids do badly in math and never grasp various applications.  So in the general mindset....it has to be racist.  In this case.....I would suggest that there are substantial numbers of math instructors (across America) who are not capable of teaching math.  

If you are in a crappy and marginally-run school....the odds are your math scores (from both whites/blacks) will be limited.  It's not a racist thing.....it's more like a poor instructor problem. 

Second, there are some individuals who believe you can dumb-down math, and make it simpler.  You know....the same way that you can dumb down geography, English, science, etc.  The problem with this logic is that math has spent several thousand years getting to the point where it is about as dumbed-down as it can possibly be.  

Third, if you tried to just stamp math as marginally required, and let kids off the hook at the fifth-grade level (doing the same for English, History, Science).....then you might as well release/graduate kids at the sixth-grade and send them off to Burger King to flip burgers.  

Fourth and final.....with the exception of the French Fry guy at BK.....there just aren't any jobs in America where math does not occur.  I know it's shocking but if you go dig into most all jobs (even as President)....some kind of math occurs with jobs.  Even dope dealers, transmission mechanics, and bartenders have to deal with some element of math to be successful in life. 

Observaions

 1.  Ukraine and Putin.  It would appear the game plan for Biden is to arm Ukraine with US weapons....thus getting Putin closer to the invasion goal.  People will be shaking their heads in January on how this mess got created.

2.  Fauci is now admitting this travel-Africa ban was hastily done......might go back in the next couple of days to undo this.

3.  Someone put up statistics to show the late-night TV crew (Colbert, Kimmel, etc) are in a spiral with the youth audience.  Apparently, some of them woke up and realized they aren't that funny.

4.  There's been some kinda claim this week that Joe Biden is getting more negative press/media attention....than Donald Trump.  I've probably wasted an hour pondering over this.  The suggestion here is like comparing chocolate ice cream, to vanilla ice cream.  It's a totally different kind of attention....where Biden seems to go walking out in some cow-field, intentionally stepping into a cow-paddy every third step....then standing there grinning while the Press-Spokesperson remarks that he might have accidentally stepped into a paddy.  Then he repeats this over and over.

The Second Amendment or Freedom From Tyranny

 If you could write some statement and find some way to provide protection (absolute in nature) from tyranny.....then you wouldn't need the Second Amendment.  That's really the long standing problem when you drill down into this whole discussion.

In the 1760s.....tyranny was some statement that you uttered in various ways, after having to deal with the British system of law in the colonies.  There just aren't 'protections' that exist....to give you some safe feeling against tyranny.  

So we edged through the 1800s...with tyranny always a step or two away (particularly in American western history, or the Civil War period), thinking over what would give us some chance of survival. 

As we arrived in the 1900s....tyranny was discussed in various other ways.  

If you live in a number of American cities today....tyranny has been replaced by fear of crime or threats.  You could be on the way home, and have some wild human creature with the idea of harming you at the gas station or super-market.  The Second Amendment is the only protection in this case.

This entire argument....to rid the nation of the Second Amendment?  You'd have to go and refer to tyranny, and build something to protect people from that.  Good luck on that search.
