That thing that never happens has happened again

Riverside County, where the Jurupa United School District is located, is the fourth largest county in California and tenth largest the United States, but it has at least a little bit of sense — for the Pyrite State, that is — in that it was actually carried by Donald Trump on the 2024 election, albeit by the narrow margin of 463,677 (49.30%) to 451,782 (48.04%). Six congressional districts have parts of the county in them, represented by three Democrats and three Republicans, while there is again a split in the state Senate, but a 5-to-1 advantage for Republicans in the state Assembly.

But, alas! California overall is dominated not only by Democrats, but far-left Democrats, and every #woke[1]From Wikipedia: Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from … Continue reading policy possible has been enacted. And A B Hernandez, a male who is just absotively, posilutely certain he’s really a girl, is on the Jerupa Valley High School girls’ volleyball team.

Perhaps you’ve heard of young Mr Hernandez. He recently won the girls’ triple jump track competition by eight feet!

Now:

Patriot High School has forfeited an upcoming match to the Jurupa Valley High School.

Jurupa Valley previously saw three forfeits in one weekend at the Freeway Games tournament, as Aquinas High School, San Dimas High School, and Yucaipa High School all refused to play Jurupa Valley. Before this, the teams AB Miller High School, Orange Vista High School, Rim of the World High School, and Riverside Poly High School had all forfeited to Jurupa Valley.

Young Mr Hernandez’s presence isn’t the only ‘transgender’ boy causing forfeits in California.

From Fox News:

Three of Hernandez’s current and former volleyball teammates have filed a lawsuit against the Jurupa Unified School District (JUSD), the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and the California Department of Education (CDE) over their experience sharing a team and locker room with the transgender athlete.

The two current teammates in the lawsuit, seniors Alyssa McPherson and Hadeel Hazameh, previously told Fox News Digital they were stepping away from the team as long as the transgender athlete is participating. The third plaintiff is McPherson’s older sister Madison, who graduated last year.

“Plaintiffs have been intimidated by an intentionally hostile environment created by Defendants wherein they were bullied by school officials to censor their objections to competing with, and against, a male and to sharing intimate and private spaces with a male,” the lawsuit reads.

We have previously reported on the discovery that “Blaire” Fleming was actually a male named Brayden Fleming on the San José State University women’s volleyball team, and how it led to several forfeits.

I get it. Our good friends on the left, consumed by sympathy as they are, really, really, really want to accommodate the ‘transgendered,’ those afflicted with gender dysphoria, who apparently seriously believe that they are not really the sex into which they were conceived, developed, and born. They really, really, really want people like young Mr Hernandez and Will Thomas to be able to live out their dreams to be women, regardless of the fact that they just are not.

But there are real differences between men and women, between boys and girls, differences which make a difference when it comes to athletics, and for all of the ‘transgendered’s’ Wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’, Plannin’ and dreamin’ that girls can be boys and boys can be girls, they really can’t be. The ‘transgendered’ are mentally ill, and our very sympathetic friends on the left somehow believe that it’s better to go along with their delusions than to help them and tell them the truth.

However crazy you might think I am, no matter how much I really, really want to be as athletic as Bo Jackson, I’m at least sane enough to realize that I’m not.

Now, there are athletes, there are families in southern California, some of which might have been more sympathetic to people like young Mr Hernandez who are learning the hard way that the idiocy of the hard left wokesters is not something in the distance, something that happens to Other People, but happens to them as well.

The academic year has really just begun. How many more stories like this will we see before it’s over?

Woke (/ˈwk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from the African-American Vernacular English expression “stay woke“, whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues. By the late 2010s, woke had been adopted as a more generic slang term broadly associated with left-wing politics and cultural issues (with the terms woke culture and woke politics also being used). It has been the subject of memes and ironic usage. Its widespread use since 2014 is a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I shall confess to sometimes “ironic usage” of the term. To put it bluntly, I think that the ‘woke’ are just boneheadedly stupid.

Every time you think the left can’t possibly get more stupid, they say, “Hold my beer!”

I will admit it: when I first saw this tweet from Greg Price, I had trouble believing it. No one, and I mean no one, could possibly be this stupid.

Total Chaos at Arlington School Board Meeting, and You Won’t Believe What Left-Wingers Were Defending

By Bonchie | Friday, August 22, 2025 9:45 AM EDT

What started with a racist sign outside an Arlington school board meeting devolved into total chaos on Thursday night, as left-wing activists went wild.

The meeting first drew attention when a left-winger of the Boomer generation was pictured holding a sign that read, “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.” That was an insanely racist shot at Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R-VA), who is now running for governor. She showed up at the meeting to stand in solidarity with normal parents against the school district’s policy of allowing boys and men to use female restrooms and locker rooms.

Little did we know that a racist sign was just the beginning.

Once the meeting started, things went from bad to worse, with parents being heckled by rainbow-clad activists. Why? Because said parents had the audacity to object to a registered sex offender being allowed to use a girls’ locker room by claiming to be “transgender.”

Who is Richard Cox? He’s a man that the school district let use the aforementioned girls’ locker room, at which point he allegedly exposed himself to children. Innocent girls were actually forced to change next to him. That’s apparently something worth defending if you’re a deranged left-wing lunatic from Arlington, VA.

There’s more at the original.

As much as I like Bonchie and RedState, I will admit that they can get a bit strident, and not everyone will accept RedState as a legitimate news source, so I searched for credentialed media sources as well, and yup, Mr Cox was arrested for indecent exposure:

Transgender sex offender to appear in court for alleged exposure at Virginia schools, gyms

by WJLA Staff | Monday, March 3rd 2025 | 8:02 AM

ARLINGTON, Va. (WJLA) — Richard Cox, a registered child sex offender who identifies as transgender, will appear in court Monday for a hearing on alleged indecent exposure at a fitness center and two Virginia schools.

Cox, 58, is facing more than 20 charges in Arlington County, where he is accused of exposing himself to women and girls in female locker rooms. Continue reading

That thing that never happens has happened again

Even the Swarthmore College student newspaper, The Phoenix, acknowledged that the institution “is overwhelmingly liberal and regarded to be a politically active campus.” In her 2015 article, “Life as a Conservative at a Liberal College“, Gloria Kim wrote:

What I expected, really, was discourse of ideas. Yes, Swarthmore is a liberal school, but I imagined the Quaker tradition would allow a peaceful exchange of ideas and an open environment for opposing opinions to coexist. What I found was a bit different.

From my first semester, I found Swarthmore’s vaunted tradition of civil discourse had become a rigid and inflexible radicalism.

That the college is ‘transgender’ friendly is not in any doubt, but even Swarthmore can’t change President Trump’s executive orders or the NCAA’s policies, and that, of course, gets yet another lawsuit from a man male claiming to be female:

If you are not calling on Hamas to surrender and release the hostages, your cries about people suffering in Gaza are worthless.

Armand Domalewski describes himself, in his Twitter biography, as a “Data scientist” living in San Francisco, and “Co-Founder, YIMBYs for Harris”. He’s actually followed by several real people I know, so perhaps he’s not an actual Palestinian bot, like so many of the other pro-Hamas posters on social media, but in this, he might as well be.

Mr Domalewski tweeted that the headline on the Babylon Bee satire site, “Gaza Said To Be Starving But Not ‘Release The Hostages’ Starving,” “is an evil, evil, evil headline”, But, even from a sarcasm site, it’s an accurate headline. The only thing that needs to happen for tons and tons of food and other aid to flow into Gaza is for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages. But the Palestinians and their useful idiots on social media would rather keep on fighting an unwinnable war. Continue reading

Irreconcilable differences

We have previously reported on Will Thomas, the male swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania, who decided that he was really a woman, started calling himself “Lia”, and went on to compete on Penn’s women’s swim team. A 6’3″ tall man male, ranked 462nd, he quickly became number one in women’s swimming. Why, it’s almost as though there are real physical differences between males and females, differences which make a difference in sports and physical activities.

There are many, many things which made something of a difference in the campaign between former President Donald Trump and then-Vice President Kamala Harris Emhoff, and one of the issues hammered on by our then-former President was the far-left’s insistence that ‘transgender’ women, like Mr Thomas, really are women. Mr Trump won the election, and has been putting his policies into place.

Bad causes attract bad people Why do the pro-#Hamas groups always lie through their scummy teeth?

I have been amused by the so-called #GlobalMarchToGaza and the silliness of Western liberals in their sympathy for the people who started a war they couldn’t finish, and pointed out their naïveté of hundreds of protesters who believed that Egypt would simply allow them to march through the Sinai desert to the border with Gaza, in theory to break the “siege.”

In a recent post on Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — the group were kind enough to include the link to their website, which I naturally checked. So, what did I find?

Is Global March To Gaza a political movement?

  • No. Global March To Gaza is a civic, apolitical, and independent movement.
  • We do not represent any political party, ideology, or religion.
  • We represent the people, in all their diversity and humanism.
  • Our only guiding principles are justice, human dignity, and peace.

So, they claim to be apolitical, to suck in the Western liberals, but a group whose “only guiding principles are justice, human dignity, and peace” would also have been calling for Hamas to release all of the remaining hostages. That I did not find.

One of the six ‘luminaries’ shown, Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela, Chief of the Mvezo Traditional Council, the Amir of the Royal House of Mandela, and the grandson of former President Nelson Mandela, was depicted wearing a ‘Palestinian’ keffiyeh.

The Global March to Gaza are as apolitical as our Democratic Party.

I never expect any group which tells us it is apolitical to actually be apolitical, and once again, I was proven right.

I’ve said it before: bad causes attract bad people, and the Global March to Gaza organizers are simply bad people.

The Trump effect is doing some good things

We do not allow those under 18 to vote. We do not allow those under 18 to drink alcohol. We do not allow those under 18 to enlist in the military. In most states, those under 18 cannot legally consent to sexual intercourse. But, to our friends on the left, those under 18 ought to be able to consent to physical castration, plastic surgery, and life altering, physically irreversible surgical procedures. President Trump is trying to put a stop to that.

Penn ceases gender-affirming surgery for patients under age 19

The move comes after an executive order from President Donald Trump that directed agencies to cease grants and other funding that could be used for gender-affirming care.

No matter how much you hate the credentialed media, you do not hate them enough!

You know, I get it: everyone wants to keep his job, no matter how royally he f(ornicated) up! As we have previously noted, the credentialed media have been trying their d(arnedest) to blame their almost total lack of coverage of thankfully former President Joe Biden’s declining physical and mental health not on their own failures to be actual journalists, but on Mr Biden’s inner circle and staff of paid flunkies to tell them the truth. How naïve do the reporters and editors have to be to think that people whose jobs and positions depended on Mr Biden remaining in office would tell other people that their boss was losing it?

Well, apparently the Editorial Board of The Washington Post want you to think that they were stunned by events!

If Biden was too frail for his job, voters should have been informed

The left lie through their scummy teeth

I have frequently said that if Donald Trump walked on water, the left would complain that he stepped on and injured some fish. If President Trump cured cancer, the left would combitch that he was putting doctors and nurses out of work.

The tweet screen captured to the left — I always screen capture tweets I’m going to use in articles, because this way they aren’t lost if someone deletes them, and they make great illustrations without having to worry about copyright violations — was just one of many which claimed that the evil, reich-wing President Trump was responsible for the deaths due to an overnight tornado strike in London, Kentucky, because he’s cutting some National Weather Service personnel. The disappointed Democrat and “I am further left, I am more progressive, than anyone in the state of Kentucky,” twice-defeated candidate Amy McGrath Henderson chimed in with her own attack, without bothering with the actual facts.

What my, sadly late, best friend used to call the Lexington Herald-Liberal, the staffers of which absotively, posilutely hate Mr Trump, was forced to admit the truth: Continue reading
