Virginia is leading the way: INSANITY Virginia’s New Transgender Rules For Public Schools: Use Preferred Pronouns, Don’t Question Bathroom Choices https://www.dailywire.com/news...m_campaign=position1 Virginia’s Department of Education was required by law to create model policies for school boards regarding treatment of transgender students no later than December 31, 2020. The draft model policies are now public, and require schools to use students’ preferred pronouns and to allow students to use the bathroom of their choice without question. The document lists the names of the people who created it, along with their preferred pronouns, most of whom use the obvious pronouns associated with their name. The document also includes a glossary of terms, one of which is “sex assignment” which is defined as: “A label, generally ‘male’ or ‘female,’ that is typically assigned at birth on the basis of a cluster of physical and anatomical features. Intersex refers to someone whose combination of chromosomes, gonads, hormones, internal sex organs, and genitals differs from the two expected patterns of male or female.” Students need not prove in any way that they actually are transgender, the policies state. No “diagnosis, treatment, or legal documents” are necessary for students to assert their gender is different from their biological sex and gain access to what’s offered to transgender students. The document states that faculty and students are to use students’ preferred pronouns or face disciplinary action, as this is considered a form of harassment. In addition, faculty and staff are to be told to create “short-term solutions” should a student’s parent or guardian not accept their claims of transgenderism. Such a plan “may include addressing the student at school with their asserted name and pronoun while using the legal name and pronoun associated with the sex assigned at birth when communicating with parents or guardians.” Of course, school staff are also encouraged to provide families that aren’t on board with the claims with information to get them in line, which can include calling Child Protective Services if they feel a student “is being abused, neglected, or at risk of abuse or neglect by their parent due to their transgender identity.” Schools will also need to make changes to their records systems, since some transgender students haven’t legally changed their name and sex. Schools are told to keep their legal name and sex private if they are using a different name and claiming to be a different sex. School staff are also not allowed to question students entering the bathroom or locker rooms that do not comport with their outward appearance or sex. In addition, if schools are planning new facilities, they should consider “single-user, gender-inclusive restrooms or changing areas.” Students who simply want more privacy in the restroom or locker room should be accommodated in a way that doesn’t make them feel stigmatized. These policies all apply to overnight trips as well. Further, school staff are instructed to help students come to terms with their “gender identity” without involving or informing their parents or guardians. The Virginia Catholic Conference noted that approving the draft policies “would undercut parents’ involvement in the life of their children at school, and endanger the bodily privacy and safety of all students.” “Take action to protect children and parental rights in public schools. … Schools should not be accommodating the especially harmful view that youth is an appropriate time to be encouraging, in some cases, irreversible ‘gender transitions,” the VCC added. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

This might encourage parents to take their kids out of public schools. Schools should be more about education not indoctrination. | |||

Wrestling, basketball? If a men's basketball team decide they are all girls, compete on the girls side, and win every game through the championship, can you imagine the outroar? How will the diversity-equality-justice crowd handle such? "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

Yeah and the first time a horny sixteen year old boy walks into the girls locker room, with lots of sixteen year old girls in various states of undress or nude, after gym class, there won't be nine kinds of uproar. And everyone knows that is going to happen. The sheer audacity and stupidity of the average, teenage boy in search of pussy is possibly one one the greatest forces in the known universe. One would think that hilarity will ensue from the unintended consequences. What is actually going to ensue is tragedy, humiliation, and incredible inequity for for everybody concerned. | |||

And the worship starts. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/ne...VLpFthp0Qfk9sYxXAevs President-elect Joe Biden is set to move into the White House in less than a week, but he may have to leave his Peloton bike in Delaware and revert to an old-school workout machine, according to a report. Peloton isn't your grandfather's stationary bike. The $1,895 machine comes with access to the internet, a microphone and a camera. Biden starts every day before 8 a.m. at his home gym in Delaware, where he uses his Peloton, a treadmill and weights, the New York Times reported last year. And "Future first dog Major Biden getting his own virtual ‘Indoguration’ If it were Trump; "Trump is obese and at risk for health problems, refuses to use Peloton" "His dog is not AKC registered as Trump claims, may be inbred" | |||

Good to see where the Dem priorities are. I guess they have no concerns about unemployment, Covid, terrorism or war with China. Everything is so good they only need to think about the very small transgender population. Calgary Shooting Centre | |||

I know a fellow who found out there was a particular spot in a back room of the high school where you could see through open windows into the girls locker room. He went there frequently. The activity built an appetite, he ended up in prison. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

IMHO the biggest loser with an impeachment trial will be Sleepy Joe. His agenda will be put on hold as the Senate holds the trial and the anger and dissent will continue. I do not believe any other inauguration had 25000 soldiers as security. I personally do not think he has it in him to call off the House. Time will tell. | |||

So much stupidity. And still today, not a damn study available to corroborate and prove any of that BS about masks accomplishing anything. I swear to god, if you told that stupid bitch in the second video that Fauci said smearing dog crap on her face was recommended to inhibit spread of the virus, you'd find her following my dog around praying for him to offer her up the cure. At a time when we truly need the best and brightest in place, we have the biggest morons in the history of this country infesting capitol hill. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Wow. Holy crap. Here's who gets a payment under Biden's $1,400 stimulus check proposal Denitsa Tsekova Sat, January 16, 2021, 12:10 PM·2 min read The new $1.9 trillion ‘rescue plan’ introduced by President-elect Joe Biden includes an additional $1,400 in direct payment to Americans. “We will finish the job of getting a total of $2,000 in cash relief to people who need it the most,” Biden said at an event in Delaware on Thursday evening. “The $600 already appropriated is simply not enough.” The new payment would top off the previous $600 payment that started to be distributed in December. Around $465 billion of Biden’s $1.9 trillion ‘rescue plan’ is earmarked to go directly to Americans’ wallets. The bonus per dependents would be $1,400 and would apply to all dependents. Previously, parents or guardians could only claim the bonus for dependents under 17. Now the bonus can be claimed for college students, disabled adults, and other adults who are dependents. If Biden's proposal is the same as the Democrats’ $2,000 stimulus plan passed by only the House in December, the income eligibility criteria would mirror the requirements for the current $600 stimulus payments being distributed. The payments would reduce gradually for those with adjusted gross income (AGI) over $75,000 for single filers without dependents and $150,000 for married couples without dependents. The phaseout thresholds would change depending on the number of dependents in the household. Eligibility would likely be based on your most recent tax return and your adjusted gross income. For the second round of checks, the Internal Revenue Service used 2019 tax returns to determine who qualified for the direct payment. The $2,000 stimulus checks would also mean a big increase in income for America’s poorest families. The 20% of households with the lowest incomes would see their annual income increase by 29% if Congress passed the Democrats’ $2,000 stimulus check proposal, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) found. The effect of Biden’s plan would be similar. For comparison’s sake, the current $600 payment gives the same group just an 8% raise, while the $1,200 direct payments last spring under the CARES Act lifted their incomes by 11%. https://money.yahoo.com/who-ge...posal-171037998.html ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

The party of tax and spend, not to be outdone. Let's see if the reparations bill authored by Ms. Lee passes and school loans are forgiven there will be little incentive left for small business to work. Oh, another special for small business is to raise the minimum wage to 15 dollars. GREAT timing! Success is not rewarded in a Democratic Presidency. All to advance social agendas, not really to help poor people. | |||

I know I am a broken record, but as to gov't handouts, a safety net becomes a hammock which then becomes a straight jacket; which is a core principle of socialism.

25,000 Troops and Biden Team is scared to do anything. I remember a time when a President was not afraid to step across the line into North Korea. Same President was able to workout two separate peace deals between Arab Countries and Israel. Here is the selected new guy: “Biden inauguration rehearsal is postponed due to security threats.” - Politico “Biden will skip his planned Amtrak ride to the inauguration because of security concerns.” - The New York Times “Biden's Sunday inauguration rehearsal postponed due to security concerns: report” The Hill “Biden team cancels weekend inauguration walk-through over security concerns: Politico” - MarketWatch “Joe Biden campaign event canceled in Texas over security concerns” - 25 ABC Connecting Central Texas “Biden Inaugural Parade Cancelled” - Mediaite “Airbnb to cancel reservations in D.C. during week of Biden Inauguration” - The Week “National Mall will be closed on Inauguration Day due to security concerns” - CNN “Joe Biden inauguration luncheon canceled over COVID-19 concerns: report” - New York Post “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this. We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,” Pres. Select, Joe Biden “Let’s go, Brandon” Kelli Stavast, 2 Oct. 2021 | |||

I am all for allowing immigration, by those who want better lives for themselves, AND who are willing to adopt the US founding principles/standards that provide the liberty and prosperity they seek in this nation. My concern is those who demand their "right" to come to America, and then demand their "right" that America adopt the very standards of their homelands, the fruits of which are the very thing they are trying to escape. More broken record from me, they come to America with moldy hamburger and demand to eat other people's prime rib. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

My family were refugees to our country. I am in no way saying there is something wrong with real amnesty requests or people coming in legally. These people aren't legal immigrants. For some reason the left is anti storming the Congress, but perfectly fine with illegals storming the boarder. Strange. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||
