Seattle's New Socialist Mayor Tells Fleeing Millionaires "Bye" As City Prepares For Vibrant Post-Wealth Utopia

In a bold masterstroke of economic genius, Seattle's freshly minted self-proclaimed socialist mayor Katie Wilson has solved the city's millionaire exodus problem by simply not caring if they leave.

While speaking at a forum at Seattle University earlier this month, the new socialist mayor said, "I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are like super overblown. And the ones that leave, like, bye," she continued, waving her hand and laughing. 

The line drew laughs and applause from the adoring trained seals who presumably do not pay the city's bills, but online it landed about as well as a tax hike on successful people.

"Seattle's Socialist Mayor responds to exodus of wealth from Washington State by saying "BYE" ... then laughing. We're doomed," wrote Brandi Kruse.

Kruse's post has been seen over 4 million times on social media as of Friday morning, which is roughly four million more people than will be left in Seattle once the last productive resident packs up.

Popular conservative account "End Wokeness" also posted on X, writing, "Mayor Wilson seems to welcome the idea of a wealth exodus from Seattle. This is the FA part. FO coming soon.""Enjoy, Seattle," Fox News contributor Guy Benson posted on X.

"What do socialists think happens when the most productive, highest revenue driving members of their tax base leave their jurisdictions?" Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts posted on X.

"Socialists are driven by hate for the rich, not concern for the poor," Manhattan Institute scholar Daniel Di Martino posted on X.

"This is the reaction of a spoiled child whose parents paid her bills up until the point that she became mayor… She has no grasp of reality or economics," comedian Tim Young posted on X. "Seattle is extra cooked."

Discovery Institute Senior Journalism Fellow Jonathan Choe posted on X, "Seattle, you voted for this."

"This clip will live in infamy," the Washington State Republican Party posted on X. "
@MayorofSeattle Katie Wilson is not only unfit to be mayor, she lacks grace and gratitude. Perhaps, she's the one who should leave #Seattle."

Wilson shocked many political observers when she was elected Seattle's mayor last year, and many chalked up her victory to her ability to tap into a similar voting bloc that socialist Zohran Mamdani used on his way to becoming New York City's next mayor. Experts call this demographic "people who think other people's money grows on trees and also hate trees because they're not diverse enough."

Earlier this month, Fox News Digital reported on city advocates who say they are struggling to find solutions as homelessness and open-air drug use spread across Seattle’s streets, amid growing concerns about the direction of Wilson's new administration.

"You can just see the foil is like blowing down the sidewalks like autumn leaves," Andrea Suarez, founder and executive director of We Heart Seattle, told Fox News Digital in an interview."Very common to see property damage of our parks and shared spaces. You can see Narcan is used to reverse an overdose, so you'll see cartridges. But at least we're remodeling the bathroom to be gender-neutral. I'm not [kidding] you, that's where our priorities are."

City officials remain confident that once every last millionaire has been waved goodbye with a cheery "like, bye," the remaining citizens will thrive in a glorious, revenue-free socialist paradise where the tents are gender-neutral and the discarded drug paraphernalia forms a beautiful mosaic of progress.

Communist NYC Mayoral Candidate Pretends He Isn't a Communist, But Record Says Otherwise

Comrade Zohran Mamdani

Oh, look, another wide-eyed communist running for mayor of New York City, swearing up and down he's not a communist, even as his greatest hits album screams otherwise. Zohran Mamdani, the DSA darling who's got the Big Apple dreaming of bread lines and state-run bodegas, keeps batting away the red-flag label like it's a killer bee. But let's be real: the guy's resume reads like a Karl Marx fanfic come to life.

"No, I’m a democratic socialist," Mamdani lied CNN earlier this week when asked if he's a communist, a label bestowed on him by many critics, including President Donald Trump."I’ve said that time and again."

Sure you have, Zohran. And I'm the Shah of Iran. Because nothing says "totally not Stalin 2.0" like casually dropping lines straight out of The Communist Manifesto at your socialist pep rallies. A Fox News Digital review dug through the archives and found Comrade Mamdani hawking communist classics like they're hot dogs at Nathan's Coney Island, including his not-so-subtle nod to seizing the "means of production."

"Right now, if we're talking about the cancellation of student debt, if we're talking about Medicare for all, you know, these are issues which have the groundswell of popular support across this country," Mamdani told a Democratic Socialists of America conference in 2021.

"But then there are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS or whether it is the end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment."

Ah yes, the old "seize the factories from those evil capitalists" routine, vintage 1848 Marx, baby. 

As the late Lee Edwards, that sharp-eyed Heritage Foundation scholar, laid it out back in 2018: Marx was an "atheist socialist who insisted that his was the only 'scientific' socialism based not on wishful thinking but the inexorable laws of history."

"The whole of history, declared Marx and his close collaborator and friend Friedrich Engels, is the history of the class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. The inevitable collapse of capitalism and the victory of the proletariat would end the conflict and usher in a classless society and pure socialism or communism (Marx used both terms interchangeably). He listed 10 necessary measures as steps along the way to his utopia, including a progressive income tax, the abolition of private property, free education for all, and centralization of the means of communication and transport in 'the hands of the state.'"

Mamdani's got that abolition-of-private-property kink in spades, too. Remember that viral clip from July, the one where he basically said screw your deed, the state's got dibs on your walk-up?

"If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now."

And don't forget his tax-the-rich-till-they're-broke scheme, all while chirping that billionaires just shouldn't exist. Because nothing screams "freedom" like the government deciding who's too successful for their own good. 

Don't you just love millionaire commies?

But hey, it's not just Mamdani solo; his squad's got that commie glow, too. Take Cea Weaver, the housing firebrand in his campaign's "brain trust." She has her fingerprints all over radical outfits like Housing Justice for All, which rolls deep with the Communist Party USA and the New York Young Communist League.

"Elect more Communists," Weaver posted on social media in 2017, New York Post reported. "Seize private property," Weaver posted in 2018.

Classy crew. When Fox News Digital cornered him in July about the commie vibes and whether he'd disavow any of it to snag Hakeem Jeffries' blessing, Mamdani? Crickets, as usual.

Heritage's Mike Gonzalez, who's seen more red ink than a Soviet accountant, didn't mince words: Mamdani is "absolutely a communist" who "repeats lines out of the 'Communist Manifesto' and other writings by Karl Marx."

[Have you noticed, it's always easy for these communist leaders to hawk communism after they've made the money via capitalism.]

"When Marxists today say they are socialists, they usually want to convey the impression that they believe in elections and not just in shooting your way into power," Gonzalez added. "Of course, that election often ends up being the last free and fair one. Witness Venezuela."

Spot on. And Mamdani's got the full menu: state-run buses, government grocery stores—the works. As Gonzalez quipped in his July takedown, "Mamdani Is the Mayor New York Democrats Deserve": "State stores are the bread and butter of communism, except they don't contain either bread or butter and are usually empty."

Echoes of Marx's big 1875 flex, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs," right? Mamdani couldn't resist remixing it on X in 2020: "Each according to their need, each according to their ability."

Then there's his 2020 thirst tweet for a commie mayor: the city's next boss should be like "Comrade Arya Rajedran," that card-carrying communist running things in India.

And let's not forget his DSA sugar daddies, who the New York Post says are banking on Mamdani to shove their agenda down Gotham's throat—complete with their long love affair for every tinpot commie regime from Havana to Pyongyang.

New Yorkers, you wanted "progress"? This is your red dawn. Enjoy the gulag chic.

Compromised News Network blasted for "journalistic malfeasance" for Taylor Lorenz fawning over an alleged murderer

In spite of the fact that we all saw Luigi Mangione on a CCTV camera shoot Brian Thompson in the back, something only a would do, there is a handful of people who see him as some sort of hero for killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. 

But the Left has lost all sense of morality in the service of virtue signaling, and the media is complicit in this trend. 

Media watchdogs are flabbergasted that CNN, [aka the Communist News Network; aka Compromised News Network] has given a platform to Leftist lunatic Taylor Lorenz, the ex-Washington Post "reporter" who got all moist and heated discussing the murdering coward in an interview special "The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper." The piece was labeled "MisinfoNation: Extreme America," and focused on extremism's rise across the country.

The host of this leftist lunacy, Donie O’Sullivan, largely focused on far-Right figures but lumped in supporters of Mangione, who has emerged as a folk hero among the far-Left after he was arrested for the murder of Mr. Thompson, with some viewing it as retribution for the health insurance industry.

Sure, killing this man, the husband of Paulette Thompson and the father of two sons, ages 16 and 19, deserved to die because he headed an insurance company whose policies were not aligned with what Leftists believe they should be. In fact, if insurance companies aligned with the ideology of the Left, there would be no insurance policies because like any business in America, they are designed to make a profit. This is not to say that changes can be made to help those who need it most, but to kill a person for this is evil, and Taylor Lorenz deserves to lose all credibility as a human being.

During the macabre CNN primetime special Lorenz showed herself to be one of Mangione’s most outspoken supporters and actually expressed "joy," yes, joy, that this scumbag murderer brought attention to issues involving the healthcare industry, and she defended her stance.

"It’s hilarious to see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching their pearls about someone stanning a murderer when this is the United States of America, as if we don’t lionize criminals," Lorenz told O’Sullivan.

"As if we don’t star murderers of all sorts. And we give them Netflix shows. There’s a huge disconnect between the narratives and angles a certain mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels, and you see that in moments like this," Lorenz continued before touting an audience boost for her Substack publication due to her sympathetic writings about Mangione.

Lorenz then tried to explain why the alleged murder appeals to women [especially Leftist women, especially her].

"Here’s this man who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart, he’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find," Lorenz said, prompting laughter from the CNN reporter.

Fox News contributor Joe Concha couldn't believe what he saw on the segment aired on CNN.

"The executives who greenlit this idea to give a lunatic like Taylor Lorenz a platform in primetime should be fired," Concha told Fox News Digital.

"As should the host who nodded along, and laughed in agreement when she complimented a cold-blooded murderer and coward like Luigi Mangione," Concha continued. "And the fact that he’s getting any praise for this, and the fact that CNN platformed somebody who appears to support him, is journalistic malfeasance."

Tim Young of Heritage Foundation Media called the clown show "morally repugnant."

"It would make sense that a morally repugnant person would support another morally repugnant person. It also makes sense that a morally repugnant network would support not only Lorenz, but air her opinion that Mangione is morally good," Young told Fox News Digital.

"This is the modern left -- if they disagree with your opinion, they want you eliminated from society by any means necessary," Young continued. "As much as I and other conservative critics of media and the left dislike opinions and actions, I could never imagine wishing physical harm on them. It’s low, it’s disgusting, and it has no place in American society."

I could go on but you get the drift. Taylor Lorenz is an execrable attention-whore and CNN is the house where people like her have an anti-American platform.

AOC Caught Twirling Taxpayer Dollars Away on Dance Lessons: Ethics Complaint Claims

AOC: the woman every American male wants to date

In a shocking turn of events that has left the nation clutching its pearls, Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Commie (D-NY) has been slapped with an ethics complaint faster than you can say "cha-cha-cha." The government watchdog group Americans for Public Trust is demanding the House investigate whether AOC dipped into her taxpayer-funded Member Representational Allowance (MRA) to fund what they’re calling “troubling expenses”—namely, a $3,700 payment to a mysterious “Juan D. Gonzalez” and an $850 check to “Bombazo Dance Co. Inc.,” both listed as “training.”

According to the Congressional Research Service, the MRA is supposed to cover official duties, not personal salsa lessons or campaign cha-ching. But the “Squad” superstar allegedly waltzed right past those rules, prompting the nonprofit to cry foul in a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics on Tuesday. “This is in contravention of federal law and the dignity of the House,” the filing huffed, probably while adjusting its monocle.

AOC, never one to miss a beat, twirled onto X to defend herself. “100% wrong,” she tweeted, dismissing claims she’s wasting taxpayer cash. “None of this is taxpayer money, this is an FEC filing. Be loud and wrong somewhere else, haters.” Unfortunately for her, the filing shot back with a mic drop: “Either she doesn’t know campaign funds from her MRA, or she’s just hoping we don’t notice she’s been tangoing with the truth.”

Caitlin Sutherland, head honcho at Americans for Public Trust, didn’t mince words in a statement to Fox News Digital: “In an era of tightening the government’s belt, AOC’s using taxpayer money for dance classes is a pirouette too far. The American people deserve lawmakers who don’t treat their tax dollars like a dance floor.”

If you would like to support my work, you can Buy Me A Coffee. Thank you.

This isn’t AOC’s first spin through the ethics wringer. In 2023, the Heritage Foundation accused her of “defaming” the Libs of TikTok creator, and she faced heat for allegedly accepting fancy Met Gala gifts in 2021—proving once again that when it comes to controversy, AOC’s got all the moves. Whether this latest complaint will have her tap-dancing out of Congress remains to be seen.

PINO Biden urges his supporters to "beat the hell out of" Republicans

"Punch 'em, kick 'em, hit 'em in the mouth. Do it for democracy"

PINO Joseph R. Biden urged his progressive supporters on Tuesday to "beat the hell out of" Republicans in the November election. "Don't let them scare you like Cornpop tried to do when I was saving lives at the pool. Stand up to them and if they try to get past you to vote, you know what you need to do to save democracy," he mumbled, and then turned to shake hands with his uncle Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr. who was supposedly eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea during the Second World War.

Biden, who pretended to call for calm after former President Donald J. Trump was nearly assassinated in June, is back to using violent rhetoric at his first public appearance with his word-challenged Vice President, Kamala Harris. This was their first public appearance since Biden was un-democratically removed from office and replaced with Harris, in spite of him receiving all the electoral votes for the nomination.

Both Nancy "Dancing Dentures" Pelosi and Barack "Pooch-eater" Obama had no comment on this issue.

“Let me tell you what our Project 2025 is: beat the hell out of them,” the alleged president told the crowd during an event in Prince George’s County, Maryland. As the audience cheered this idiot, he shouted, “I mean it!” rather than shouting "no joke!" as is his go-to sentence concluder. 

His reference to Project 2025 was his plagiarizing the Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025" which is their conservative planning of transition policies when Trump wins the election. The left tries to link Trump to this plan, but he has rejected the association and correctly labeled it a “pure disinformation” campaign.

The call for people to “beat the hell out of” their political rivals did not sit well with some on social media, especially those who think such calls for violence is wrong.

Biden instructs the audience to "beat the hell" out of Republicans — a month after the assassination attempt against President Trump. Disgusting! pic.twitter.com/MpxSGBsu4h

— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom)

“Is this a call to violence?” asked the Libs of TikTok account on X that is operated by Chaya Raichik. a

Anyway, it's easy to see how the media is moist for the left and will never criticize them even when they call for violence.

Remember this: 

But the media would never allow a conservative or MAGA Republican to get away with the crap they allow the left to skate by with. 

“If Trump said this, it would be wall-to-wall coverage on MSNBC for the next three weeks,” responded Collin Rugg, who has an X account with 1.4 million followers. He also quipped that The Washington Post “would be putting the ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ banner up.”

Trump trounced Biden in the June debate on the Comedy News Network. It was so bad that the people behind the curtain pulling Biden's strings had to find someone else to run against Trump, even though to do so was a severe violation of the democratic process. Biden had every one of the delegates caste their support for him, which translates to the Democratic Party supporting Biden. Obviously that didn't matter to whoever has their hand up Biden's skivvies, whether it was Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, or both.




Trump faced Biden in a June debate hosted by CNN. In the weeks after Biden’s fumbling performance during that face-off sparked a crisis of confidence among his allies, the president stepped aside under pressure and Harris took the top spot on the Democratic Party’s ticket.

Biden is expected to speak at the Democratic National Contention in Chicago next week, along with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State and failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, are slated to accept their nominations and deliver remarks.

Heritage Foundation’s Overnight Project says Bowman should be charged the same as J6 folks

Conservative watchdog group, The Heritage Foundation’s Overnight Project, has pointed out that Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) should be charged with obstruction of the business of government the same as the January 6th “rioters,” some of whom have received long prison sentences. 

Bowman was caught red-alarm-pulling-handed on camera pulling a fire alarm in the House of Representatives building during tense talks to avoid a government shutdown last weekend. He gave a lame excuse that only a gullible person or a Democrat [but I repeat myself] would believe, saying that he didn’t realize it was a fire alarm and thought it was a thing one pulled to open a door [that had a sign in front stating that it was for emergency exit only].

Regarding the bill that was to be signed to avoid the shutdown, the Democrats claimed they didn’t have time to read it, but back when it come to Obamacare, Nancy Pelosi told lawmakers to sign it so they could know what’s in it.

In a letter seen by Fox News Digital, Heritage stated that Bowman’s criminal violations includes a federal obstruction statute, the same one used by the Biden DOJ to prosecute alleged rioters who entered into the Capitol Jan. 6, 2021, and in Bowman’s case calls for up to a five-year prison sentence.

Of course, the chances that a Democrat politician of African-American heritage would be sent to prison for allegedly supporting his fellow Democrats is as probable as getting run over at Times Square by a boat.

Better to leave the jacket unbuttoned than to have this look

"Rep. Bowman’s actions violated federal law in addition to D.C. criminal law. The Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigations have made ample use of similar legal theories recently to investigate and prosecute individuals across the country," the letter states. 

It was sent Thursday to Democrat U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, corrupt FBI Director Christopher Wray and the leaders of the U.S. Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan Police departments, some of whose staff held the doors open for the Jan. 6 protesters.

The federal statute states:

"Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress…shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years," the federal statute states.

The D.C. codes Heritage suggests Bowman violated say it’s a misdemeanor "for any person or persons to willfully or knowingly give a false alarm of fire within the District of Columbia," and that anyone who "corruptly, or by threats of force, any way obstructs or impedes or endeavors to obstruct or impede the due administration of justice in any official proceeding," can be sentenced to prison for at least 3 years. 

The New York Post's, [not to be confused with the Bezos-owned rag, The Washington Post] editorial board criticized Bowman’s fire alarm stunt saying it was "moronically irresponsible and wrong.” 

Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, scolded the relevant government organizations for having "come under significant scrutiny from the American public in recent years due to politicization and weaponization against your political adversaries."

Howell noted that, in an interview aired on CBS' "60 Minutes" Oct. 1, Garland stated, "We do not have one rule for Republicans and another rule for Democrats. We don’t have one rule for foes and another for friends. … We have only one rule; and that one rule is that we follow the facts and the law, and we reach the decisions required by the Constitution, and we protect civil liberties.” 

But of course they do.

"Similarly, at a recent Congressional hearing, Director Wray denied a double standard at the FBI stating, ‘The idea that I’m biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me, given my own personal background,’" Howell noted in the letter.

"This case presents an opportunity for course correction. The law should be enforced equally and without regard to political party," he concluded. 

Better watch out for that boat in Times Square folks.

Prince Harry may have lied on his visa application or been given special treatment only reserved for non-peons

Meghan Markle's husband, Prince Harry of merry old England, had his immigration status scrutinized by a conservative think tank that believe he may have fibbed on his visa filings. It's also possible that he was given special treatment by President Biden's decision-maker, whoever that is, in the Department of Homeland Security, a government agency that has become as impotent as a sperm donor who was given a photo of "The View" as incentive to perform.

The Heritage Foundation, citing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) asked the DOH for a copy of Harry's visa file, noting that in order to obtain a residency permit, the person must answer if he or she has ever used illicit drugs. Should the applicant answer "yes," they can be denied the visa. Harry may have answered "no," and that would have been a lie; or he could have simply answered "yes" and lied about his past. 

Either way, he should be investigated.

“I think what happens with this FOIA request has a direct impact on what happens with Harry’s future in the U.S. if indeed he wants to become a permanent U.S. resident or a U.S. citizen,” Nile Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Mail.

“The stakes are very high here,” Gardiner added.  “This issue of a visa application has major implications for his future in the United States.”

Seriously? Does anyone really believe that certain individuals are treated the same as the unwashed masses? Harry may be a ginger, an idiot, and a pain in the ass, but he's a royal pain in the ass.

As far as the possibility that Harry argues the DHS documents should remain private, Gardiner stated, “Harry can talk all he likes about protecting privacy, but he’s just written a massive book outlining all of his drug use. I’d say this isn’t a very smart move.”

Nobody ever has accused Harry of being intelligent.

“No one should be above the law,” Gardiner declared. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a member of the Royal Family, everyone should be treated the same.”

“I think it’s in the public interest to know whether or not Harry was completely transparent in documenting all of his drug use that he outlined in ‘Spare,’” Gardiner said. “I think that the public will be really outraged if he was admitted to the United States through a system of preference and privilege, or he got in without revealing the full information.”

They should have the Harry dilemma as an episode on tv's Border Security and have a dog sniff his luggage.

In his blockbuster book “Spare,” Harry admitted using cocaine and the psychedelic drug ayahuasca; the latter is illegal in the United States unless used for religious purposes.

Harry should immediately be deported along with his lovely wife Meghan.

Heritage Foundation attorney Samuel Dewey, who formerly supervised oversight and investigations on the U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, warned that if DHS does not produce the records by April 12, the foundation will sue the federal government.

“Even if he came in through a visa, it still has to be cleared by DHS, because you also have to be admissible to the country,” Dewey claimed. “Our request concerns whether or not he’s admissible without a waiver, given his long history of narcotics use. Individuals in the past with that history have not been let into the country.”

“There’s a precedent for getting this immigration information from the immigration authorities,” Dewey stated. “The first question that a court will ask is, how much of a privacy interest is there here? And we think it’s as low as it can be. This is a public figure who’s been notoriously open for commercial gain. He has so aggressively put himself into the public for his commercial benefit that it’s a perfect storm of diminished privacy rights.”

“The second question the court will ask is what is the public interest?” Dewey continued. “We’ve got a serious problem with our immigration system in this country. And a big part of that problem is laws are not being enforced.”

“If they’re spending a lot of time giving a special unjustified preference to Prince Harry, how does that affect the common immigration applications where people have carefully dotted every I and crossed every T?” he asked.

It's obvious to even the casual observer, that Prince Harry's narcotics history has affected his brain, and he doesn't have any extra neurons to spare. But at least he has Meghan to do his thinking for him.

NHL supports guys in skirts and trans hockey events where females get concussed--one did

It's only a matter of time before a woman is killed in a sport where men are allowed to compete against them. It won't happen in swimming or track and field, but it will in the strength sports such as mixed martial arts, football, hockey and the like. Serious injuries have already happened as been discussed in an article by the Heritage Foundation.

For example, in September 2014, male mixed martial arts fighter Fallon Fox, who "transitioned" from male to pretend female at the age of 30, fought an actual female Tamikka Brents. Within the first two minutes of the fight, Fox fractured Brents' skull and she suffered a concussion, but he continued beating on her until she was unconscious.

Now the National Hockey League (NHL) has become "woke" and is quietly promoting a "Trans Draft Tournament" in which men who claim to be women play against "nonbinary women who agree to play against men.

The NHL put on a tournament over last weekend in Middleton, Wisconsin, calling it the Team Trans Draft Tournament. It was the first of its kind comprised completely of transgender and nonbinary players with about 80 participating.

The NHL is proud to support this past weekend's Team Trans Draft Tournament in Middleton, Wisconsin. This was the first tournament comprised entirely of transgender and nonbinary players, with around 80 folks participating! #HockeyIsForEveryone #NHLPride pic.twitter.com/OfEoAVXtH5

The "trans" tournament featured a "Team Black" vs. "Team Pink" contest that included the Boston-based “Team Trans” organization. The team describes itself as “New England’s first LGBTQ+ hockey club.”

The NHL didn't promote the tournament very much but a video initially posted by Quillette shows a player on Team Pink [#90], a "bisexual trans woman" [aka a dude] shoving #91 on Team Black, described as a "female-to-male" [aka woman] down to the ice and then into the boards. The female suffered the same fate as the aforementioned Tamikka Brents--a concussion.

It took 17 minutes to get a stretcher to take her off the ice and transport her to a hospital [I'm assuming].

The Quillette article “Ignoring Biological Reality Puts Female Hockey Players at Risk,” by sports writer Jonathan Kay summed it up:

The contact doesn’t look particularly serious when you watch it on video. It may even have been entirely accidental. But the size imbalance between the two skaters was so great that the Team Black player ended up being propelled head-first into the boards with enough force to deliver a concussion.

The result of the lopsided tournament was Team Pink [with the dudes] was described as "head and shoulders taller than most of Team Black, and one of their players competed in Division 1 hockey. Team Pink destroyed Team Black by a score of 7 - 1. In fact, between the second and third period Team Pink held a team meeting to decide whether or not to continue the lopsided slaughter.

The left likely thinks they should, and the NHL should be ashamed of themselves for putting inclusion first over safety.

Study: Youth suicide increases with transgender treatments, lack of parental consent

You've heard the old adage, 'boys will be boys.' Nowadays that might be considered transphobic because we live in a crazy time. And while the Left seems to be encouraging and convincing kids born as one sex, that they are really the opposite sex, and they don't even have to tell their parents.

According to a recent Heritage Foundation study released Monday, state policies that allow children access to "gender-affirming care" without parental consent, have a significant rise in suicides.

The study found that 2020 saw 1.6 more suicides per 100,000 residents between the ages of 12 to 23 in blue states that allow children access to chemical castration drugs now called puberty blockers, along with other gender altering procedures without parental consent. [H/T The Daily Signal]

In other words, there is scant evidence that "gender reassignment" procedures prevent suicide, as the Left says is the case, according to Jay Greene, a Heritage research fellow in education. So don't believe the hype you might hear the Left try to pass off as fact.

Gender transition advocate and social worker Sarah Harte said, [with no data to back up her claim other than people who agree with her saying the same thing] that  “laws and systems barring gender-affirming health care will contribute to higher rates of significant mental health problems, including deaths by suicide.”

It's always risky trying to predict the future, especially when using emotions as your source for the prediction.

When Alabama passed legislation making gender-transition procedures and “treatments” illegal to perform on children, then-White House ginger press secretary Jen Psaki said that the new law would interfere with “life-saving health care.”

How did she come up with that conclusion? Did she 'follow the science'?

The Biden administration threatened states with a warning that they may be in violation of civil rights law if they put limitations on “gender affirming care,” which includes hormone treatment, puberty blockers, social affirmation, and surgery. But the Biden administration wants to put limitations on the age a person must be to buy a rifle, 21, while wanting to lower the voting age to 16.

“Every major medical association agrees that gender-affirming health care is a best practice and, potentially, lifesaving,” Psaki told the fawning press.

Of course "every major medical association" is going to agree with the administration--their economic survival depends on it.

Greene’s research found that gender transition and suicide studies have been horribly flawed and he also found a link between minors receiving chemical castration medications, or as the Left likes to call them, puberty blockers, without parental consent, and a much higher suicide rate.

The report can be read here.

“The average state suicide rate in this age group between 1999 and 2020 was 11.1, making an additional 1.6 suicides per 100,000 an increase of 14% in the suicide rate,” Greene writes.

The suicide numbers were obtained from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a non-partisan organization.

“If making it easier for minors to access puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones is protective against suicide, one should expect the frequency of youth suicide to be lower in states that have a provision allowing minors to get these drugs without parental consent,” Greene posits.

In other words, we should see a divergence toward fewer suicides in states that allowed puberty blockers and other gender hormone treatments after they became available in the United States after 2010, but the divergence is just the opposite.

So, as I said, don't believe the hype and have yourself a happy Pride Month, soon to be Pride Year, then Pride Decade, if the Left gets its way.

Saba Ahmed Says Yadda Yadda

On June 16th the Heritage Foundation held an event on the Benghazi consulate attack where two of the panelists, Frank Gaffney and Brigitte Gabriel addressed a question asked by the only Muslim in attendance, Saba Ahmed. Hannah Harris Green of  The Nation , a far left waste of web space, claimed that Gaffney and Gabriel ". . . promptly attacked her with an Islamophobic rant." It seems when conservatives answer a question with facts and historical content, leftists claim that they are ranting. When you see the video, you will agree that Ahmed's question was answered respectfully and in Gabriel's case, somewhat passionately; but certainly not as an attack. Judge for yourself by viewing the Benghazi Coalition Event video

Brigitte Gabriel

The Nation quotes one verse in the Qu'ran that says there is no compulsion in religion. "You can't force people to convert,"  Green writes. What she didn't tell you, either because she is clueless or doesn't want you to know,  is that there is a little thing in the Qu'ran called abrogation.

Abrogation is when one Koranic verse (I tend to spell Koran the American way not Qu'ran) is cancelled out by a latter one that usually contradicts it.

 Ibn Abbas, a Muslim scholar, is very clear when he addressed the verse Green referred to that states there is no compulsion in religion: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah yadda yadda), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost [all spiritual good]" (3:85). 

If you know anything about the Koran, which I suspect Green is clueless, you know that all the latter [Medina] verses are not generally peaceful.

Green, clearly an appeaser, goes on to say "There are a lot of peace verses 60:08 . . . "

But the rule of abrogation, as I mentioned, came about in Mohammed's (peas be up in him) Medina period, when his army of terrorists increased from about 250 terrorists when they were formed in Mecca, to around 10,500 by the time they killed their way to Medina. 

And just because the sura  Green cited is 60:8, this doesn't mean it came later in time. Sura 2, or "The Sura of the Sword" came later in Mohammed's history. 

The Koran is not laid out chronologically but in terms of the length of the suras--the longer ones are placed first in the Koran, followed by shorter verses, and they have nothing to do with when they were written. Oh, and by the way, they were written by a scribe for Mohammed because he was illiterate. And oh, the scribe often made suggestions to fix inconsistencies which Mohammed agreed needed fixing. So how could the Koran be the word of Allah if a lowly scribe could fix it? Oh, I almost forgot, then Mohammed had the scribe killed when he started asking the same questions.

But back to Saba Ahmed. 

Back in 2006, the then 26 year old Beaverton,Oregon woman (who grew up in Pakistan, which Obama pronounces "Pahkeestahn") made a run for Oregon's vacant congressional seat. Her website featured an Islamic prayer in Arabic. At that time, Ahmed said she was studying for an MBA and a law degree. However, in 2004, she was pursuing a double major: electrical engineering and physics at Portland State University. 

She is a family friend of Mohamed Mohamud (no relation to Mohammed Mohamad Mahammad).

 Mohamud is the Somali teenager who attempted to light up the Portland Christmas tree lighting ceremony with a bomb. Luckily the plot failed but Saba currently denies knowing this terrorist wannabe.

In January of 2011, Ahmed was featured in the local news after she was reported missing by her family. They explained to the police that she was diagnosed with a mental disorder and that she disappeared when she was scheduled to check herself into the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center.

Ahmed claimed she was not diagnosed with a mental disorder but she had a family dispute at the time and attributed the "lie" to that. On her blog, Ahmed explained that it all had to do with a complicated story about her involvement with a romantic involvement in Florida for which she was "unfairly arrested" for stalking and simply being trapped in the home of another man who had two wives (Mohammed had 12, peas be up in him).

Several nights ago, Saba discussed the Heritage Foundation "attack" on her, on 

Hannity She didn't stick to the issue and attacked Brigitte Gabriel instead of actually discussing Sharia law and its effect on women. 

Anyway, the good news is, Saba Ahmed's campaign was as successful as Obama's outcomes--she got less than 1% of the vote. There is a God, but His name isn't Allah, that's the moon god.
