Miss America contestant disses American President

Miss America contestant Madeline Collins was posed the question: "What is the biggest issue facing Americans today?" This was part of the program's interview section, designed to determine whether the contestant is a conservative [if so, she may as well go home] and whether or not she has a clue about what's going on in the country that she is competing to represent.

A good answer to this question might be: "The biggest issue facing Americans are the possible effects that illegal immigration may create in the future in terms of jobs and safety. How should we properly vet people from countries notorious for spawning terrorists? What will the effects be in the job market?"

Instead, the bombshell beauty said, "Donald Trump is the biggest issue our country faces. Unfortunately, he has caused a lot of division in our country."

"It was a mistake to dump the swimsuit competition for an "interview section." The theory for the change was that swimsuits highlight the beauty of a woman's body in beauty contests, and that's sexist.

So highlighting a woman's beauty is a woman's beauty contest is sexist? Logically, that means Miss America is a sexist competition. Just because there isn't a swimsuit competition doesn't negate the sexism, or else they would feature women who look like Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren and Eleanor Roosevelt.

But they don't. In fact, they usually don't even feature single women older than their early twenties.

So Miss America is sexist AND ageist. They say they want to be thought of as a showcase of a woman's intellect, but do they feature intelligent women like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Elena Kagan? The answer is no, they don't. And without a swimsuit competition, that should bode well for these ladies.

"Buh bye"

But wow, do they enjoy bringing politics into the fray, and the contestants dealt with it as well as a one arm juggler on a pogo stick in a minefield.

They only allowed a 20 second answer time for the questions, so Collins wasn't able to fully articulate her reasoning [thankfully]. The question however, might be the final straw that will kill the relevance of the contest [they dropped the word 'pageant'] among American viewers.

Last year's Miss America, Cara Mund, publicly claimed that she was "bullied" by the Miss America board, including that famous blond bombshell and former Fox News anchor and sexual harassment lawsuit filer, Gretchen Carlson.

Mund claimed she was ridiculed for her clothing choices and removed from interviews and appearances and nearly banned from the nationally televised 2018 broadcast.

The 96-year-old pageant has declined for ten years and is currently circling the bowl. Perhaps the controversies will pump up the interest again--it certainly won't be the "interview section."

By the way, who won?

PC Miss America no longer will be about physical beauty

The Miss America beauty pageant will no longer be about physical appearance and to prove that, they are ditching the swimsuit competition and will refer to the event as the Miss America Competition.

In place of the swimsuit competition, contestants will take part in a live interactive session with the judges and will need to answer tough questions such as: "If you had Donald Trump tied up in a room and knew you'd never get caught, what would you do to him?" And: "Who is worse, ISIS or all men?"

Contestants "will be asked to demonstrate their passion, intelligence and overall understanding of the job of Miss America," said Rachel Carlson on ABC News.

The organization is also getting rid of the evening gown part of the competition because it demonstrates individuality, style and grace, which can be offensive to progressive women who have no style nor grace.

They will be asking contestants to wear clothing that makes them feel confident and express their personal style.

If it takes a particular set of clothing to make one feel confident, isn't that really a false sense of confidence? Shouldn't confidence be an attribute separate from one's attire?

The women, including men who identify as women, I suspect, will also talk about how they plan to advance their chosen causes, referred to as "social impact initiatives" by the Miss America Organization.

"We've heard from a lot of young women who say, 'We'd love to be a part of your program but we don't want to be out there in high heels and a swimsuit,' so guess what, you don't have to do that anymore," Carlson said. "Who doesn't want to be empowered, learn leadership skills and pay for college and be able to show the world who you are as a person from the inside of your soul. That's what we're judging now," Carlson added, without providing ways and means of being able to know what is inside a person's soul. Perhaps that will follow.

Carlson was crowned Miss America in 1989 and looked very nice in her swimsuit and evening gown. But she has also been an advocate for victims of sexual harassment and a #MeToo movement maven. In 2016, she settled a lawsuit against former Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. He was forced to step down after other women came forward with similar accusations of sexual misconduct.

She no longer wants beautiful women to be seen merely as beautiful and hates that men tend to fantasize about these beautiful women in their minds, thanks to their ids.

While there is nothing wrong with what the #MeToo movement was created to stand for, it appears that it is snowballing in power and may be getting to the point where innocent men will feel the wrath of angry women who accuse falsely. Certainly not in all instances, because some men still suck, but in enough cases to do harm to the innocent.

And no, it isn't worth the collateral damage to those men, as some in the #MeToo movement claim.

Personally, I believe the Miss America Competition is going to do what the Scouts of America is going to do: become defunct-- especially if young men who identify as young women enter the competition for the sake of political correctness and inclusiveness.

Transgenderism has already ruined women's weightlifting and wrestling competitions.

Hey, and what about ageism? Is it fair that older people can't enter the contest? We must be totally inclusive.

It's political correctness run amok. Maybe there should be no losers. Everyone gets a crown.

But we shall see what happens. Well, except for me--I have no plans on watching it in September.
