Jasmine Crockett is now claiming that Charlie Kirk’s “rhetoric” was racist
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

...She’s now openly attacking the “Caucasians” in her own party who supported the resolution.

What a sick and vile human being.

“One of the things I do want to point out that’s not been laid out, that honestly hurts my heart, is when I saw the no votes, there were only two caucasians.”

“For the most part, the only people that voted no were people of color.”

“Because the rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out, there was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color.”

“And so it is unfortunate that even our colleagues could not see how harmful his rhetoric was specifically to us.”

“And I can tell you that a month prior to him passing away, he had actually gotten out on his podcast, I wasn’t aware of this at the time, but he got out there and he was talking negatively about me directly.”

“So if there was any way that I was going to honor somebody who decided that they were just going to negatively talk about me and proclaim that I was somehow involved in the great white replacement, yeah, I’m not honoring that kind of stuff.”

“So to me, just like we wanted to make sure that those confederate relics were taken down, the idea of a new age relic being propped up was something that I just could not subscribe to, and it is unfortunate that more of my colleagues, even on my side of the aisle, could not see the the amount of harm that this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities.”

Disgraceful.

#2  The boycott at the memorial service was not mentioned by the media but missed by no one. Yes, camera shots panning the massive crowd were indeed revealing.

#3  The Dem platform became anti- God a couple of decades ago. Charlie’s promotion of faith made him an existential threat to them. Crockett knows Charlie wasn’t racist. It is the wrap-up smear as Pelosi famously outlined. Bash is a merchandiser in those operations.

For a lark like a dark Parson Weems,
A bird of ill omen
Abroad in the gloamin',
A star, or a black hole for dreams.

Sex tests brought in after data showed 50-60 DSD athletes in finals, World Athletics says
[Outkick] A new report from World Athletics reveals what many women’s sports advocates have been warning about for years: Dozens of male athletes with differences in sex development (DSD) have been dominating women’s track and field for more than two decades.

In a presentation Friday at the World Championships in Tokyo, Dr. Stéphane Bermon — head of health and science at World Athletics — revealed that between 50 and 60 DSD athletes who went through male puberty have competed in the finals of elite women’s track and field events since 2000.

In total, Bermon said 135 DSD finalists were identified between 2000 and 2023 (because many competed in multiple events).

Athletes with male biology are "significantly over-represented" in women’s finals, Bermon explained, which "compromises the integrity of the female competitions."

DATA SHOWS DSD ATHLETES OVERREPRESENTED IN WOMEN’S FINALS
The data, which was pulled from years of anti-doping testing, showed consistently elevated testosterone levels. Officials say the actual number of DSD athletes is likely even higher.

This new report lands just as World Athletics begins enforcing its updated eligibility rules for the first time at a global meet. Starting with the 2025 Worlds in Tokyo, any athlete who wants to compete in the women’s category must take a one-time genetic test.

That test looks for the SRY gene, which lives on the Y chromosome and triggers male development. If the gene is there, you're male, and you’re not eligible to compete in the female category.

"We are saying, at elite level, for you to compete in the female category, you have to be biologically female," World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said. "It was always very clear to me and the World Athletics Council that gender cannot trump biology."

The Newspeak around the word gender is annoying.
