When you take a transatlantic flight, the plane actually crosses the ocean. When you get a blood transfusion, the blood of another human actually enters your body. There is no such thing as a “transgender” person. There is no way to delete the Y chromosomes from the cells of a human male/ boy/ man. There is no way to insert a Y chromosome into the cells of a female/ girl/ woman. No amount of surgery or hormones changes this immutable biological reality. Even in the case of genital deformity, a human is immutably either a male or a female. There is no way to transition into a different sex/ gender no matter how strong the feelings. Anyone who disagrees, please define “woman” for me?
While I support early reproductive choice, I also recognize every successful abortion results in the death of a unique human being. Now that the left claims we have so little bodily autonomy that we can be coerced by the government or an employer into subjecting our bodies to a big pharma “vaccine” subscription plan, because the “voluntary” opioid subscription plan worked out so well, I say get rid of Roe v Wade and let the states figure it out. Sooner or later the woke in CA, WA, OR, and NY will have either driven out all families, or successfully indoctrinated the entire population into rejecting procreation. Let them crumble in overcrowded non staffed nursing homes in 20-30 years, and the rest of us can negotiate reasonable and balanced abortion policy. By the time the woke figure out they’ve mostly destroyed themselves they’ll be old and irrelevant. 🤷♀️
“Correction + some more: Last week, I wrote incorrectly that the transgender swimmer Lia Thomas swims for Penn State. She swims for the University of Pennsylvania. My apologies to all readers, especially those in the Keystone state.”
Well “she’s” a he so why is that person allowed to control everyone’s conversations? And I would bet he still has his he parts and he doesn’t take she hormones either. It’s a con. He’s a con.
“Meanwhile, AOC still says the crime is fake news: “A lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out,” she told The Washington Times.”

The very underrated part of this story is that Walgreens politely snapped back. The CEO of Walgreens is a black woman from Detroit who attended a ‘gifted’ magnet school, Rosalind Brewer. She’s one of the most successful people in America and, unlike AOC who is white and from the suburbs, she may have actually encountered some non-fake adversity in her life.
If the swimmer wants to identify as a woman, good for him. I should not have to call him a her just because that's what he wants. I wanted to identify as the boss in my career, but I was not the boss. So, no one referred to me as the boss.
He is a he regardless of what he calls himself. He will always be a he no matter what he does to his body, mind or preference.
Stop referring to Lia Thomas as a woman. Lia Thomas is a man. He competed on the men's swimming team for years because he is a man. On the women's swimming team, where he does not belong because he is a man, he broke several women’s swimming records and finished one race a full 38 seconds before his nearest rival, because he is a man. It is not because he is an especially magically better swimmer than the other women on the team. You refer to him as transgender -- this is because he is a man.
Your polite, virtue-signaling obfuscation of the immutable human sexual binary is worse than intellectually and morally lazy. It is insidious nonsense that has brought women to where we are today: having our reproductive rights and indeed our basic biology erased, forced to share prison cells with fully-functioning male sex offenders who "self-identify" as women, and seeing our hard-won athletic excellence turned into a pathetic joke. You should be furious, not polite.
The truth is precious. Stop giving it away for free.
So BLM believes Jussie Smollett unconditionally because basically he's black and the CPD is racist. Why doesn't BLM believe the two black Nigerian brothers that were hired by Smollett to assist with the hoax? Don't all black lives matter or just those BLM deems worthy?
There needs to be a version of ‘stolen valor’ for faking hate crimes. Maybe call it ‘stolen pallor’ because you’re pretending to be oppressed by whiteness?
I can't decide which of the many topics (brought up by Ms. Bowles) to weigh in on, so I'll just write this:
It sure seems like the wokesters are only doubling down on their special brand of unreality.....despite the fact that a solid majority of us normies believe the Elect (thanks John McWorter) to be delusional.
Bari, I am writing this here because I'm not sure how to contact you elsewhere. Thank you for all that you do and for the stories you tell. Thank you for your bravery. You say everything I wish I could.
I have been thinking about the dire need for a collective of independent journalists or at least a list of journalists who are united not by ideology but ethics and a commitment to finding the truth. It would be great also if they could have everything out in the open also as far as political and ideological biases as well as background and experience reporting etc. Can I get an amen? :D
So it turns out that Jussie Smollett, Elizabeth Holmes, The Brothers Cuomo, Ghislaine Maxwell are all victims. There’s a pattern here, I just can’t put my finger on it…
"What I resented was not this specific couple. It was their whiteness, and my feelings of helplessness at not knowing how to maintain the integrity of a Black space that I had created."
Swap black and white and you'd swear the Grand Kleagle Himself wrote this essay. Good God.

"The left’s argument this week is that adoption is so traumatic for a child, who bonds in utero with the mother, that abortion is a mercy."
May we assume the Left is now ready to outlaw surrogacy?

Once I heard the "attack" occurred in Chicago I knew it was a hoax. No one survives in Chicago as a MAGA person.

"Oat milk Americans" is my new favorite term.
