Good for Navratilova for speaking out - women deserve better. If you allow men to compete against them, it is obvious what will happen over time: there will be no women left in women’s sports.
Martina Navratilova, a true tennis icon, cuts through the noise with clear truth. Including biological males in women’s teams is not inclusive for the female athlete who loses her spot as a result. Biological realities of strength, speed, and power create inherent advantages for males that cannot be wished away. This erodes the fair playing field women have long fought to establish. Protecting sex-based categories in sports ensures women retain their opportunities and achievements. Listening to experienced athletes like Navratilova upholds genuine fairness and respect for female competitors.

There's no such thing as Palestine. There has never been a sovereign, independent nation-state called Palestine with its own defined borders, independent government exercising full control, currency, and international recognition as a fully independent country in the modern sense. The region has been the traditional home of the Jewish people for nearly 3,000 years. “Palestine” has long been a geographic name for a region (roughly the area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, sometimes broader), not the name of a sovereign polity. The term derives from the Roman renaming of the province of Judea as Syria Palaestina after the Bar Kokhba revolt in the 2nd century AD, drawing on the earlier name associated with the Philistines.

Undeniable truth of life: All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly Father, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender, assigned by God, is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.

This sicko SEXUALLY ASSAULTED and KIDNAPPED a 15-year-old while she was at a park in Idaho. @ICEgov is working to ensure he is NEVER released back onto our streets to prey on more innocent Americans.

📢ICE’s investigative arm, @HSIAtlanta, rescued human trafficking victims during World Cup operations and busted the criminals exploiting them. @POTUS Trump’s message is clear: Human traffickers have NO safe haven in the United States — ICE will find these criminal predators and arrest them.

NEWS Canada’s four straight years of record-breaking wildfires have emitted at least 800M metric total tons of carbon, now an annual public health crisis that’s wiped out the liberal government’s climate mandates including net zero powerplants, vehicle emission standards, and federal carbon pricing. Dangerous smoke now blankets 23 U.S. states and D.C. with dangerous particulates and toxins including toluene, xylenes, benzenes, and formaldehyde. Particulate pollution triggers strokes, heart attacks and asthma attacks. Senator Bernie Moreno to introduce a sanctions bill against Canadian officials to revoke their visas and block their assets. U.S. lawmakers demand Canada stop its policy choice of failing to manage its forests now annually exploding into uncontrollable fires. Americans are now forced to yearly breathe its hazardous smoke. #Canada #wildfires #news #breaking #BreakingNews #breakingnews #BREAKING #news @MarkJCarney @x @Reuters @AP @FoxNews @EveningEdit @FoxBusiness

We actually looked at California. A preliminary @DHSgov review found 81,336 California registrants whose name, date of birth, address, and Social Security number MATCH a non-citizen in our files. Not to mention, it takes California four weeks to count ballots in a mayor’s race. Third-world countries do it better.
California has free, fair, and secure elections and we will fight for them. Try us.
