In the least surprising news of all time, the AP hints that Trump calls Harris a bitch in private. You don’t say! I’m pretty confident he calls her worse than that.

Former President Donald Trump reportedly has used a slur often targeted at women to describe Vice President Kamala Harris during at least two private conversations. His campaign denies it.

The New York Times cited two people who, on different occasions, heard Trump call Harris a “b——.” The people were granted anonymity to describe private discussions.

In response, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said, “That is not language President Trump has used to describe Kamala and it’s not how the campaign would characterize her.”

Another ratchet. Now he’s trying to sue people for noticing that he’s not a woman.

Who is this idiot and how does she get anyone to publish her idiotic drivel?

[Imane] Khelif’s crime – in the eyes and relentless social media feeds of the “let us tell you how women should look, act, reproduce, breathe and exist on this earth” brigade – lies in choosing not to portray herself as an aspirational Sports Illustrated swimsuit model when her job as a professional athlete is, literally, to punch other people in the face.

Could not be more wrong.

The reality is that it’s Imane Khelif and his enablers who are shitting on every single female athlete at the Olympics. Yes, Khelif is a boxer, and his job at the Olympics is to box, but it’s … Read the rest

Oliver Brown doesn’t mince words:

The smouldering scandal of these Paris Games has reached the most explosive possible conclusion, with a biologically male boxer winning an Olympic gold medal as a female. Imane Khelif, the 25-year-old Algerian whose DNA tests have shown the male pattern of XY chromosomes, has swept all the way to the women’s welterweight title after dismantling four successive opponents in four utterly one-sided contests. The outcome of which the International Olympic Committee had for so long been warned – that an overwhelming focus on inclusion could remove fair sport for women – has finally come to pass.

And it’s not even “inclusion” given that women are excluded from winning in their own damn sport.

“Oh right it was that other black guy. You know, the other one.”

World’s only other Black guy steps up:

Former Los Angeles city councilman and California state Sen. Nate Holden said Friday that he was with former President Donald Trump in the helicopter ride that made an emergency landing, despite Trump saying it was former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

“Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco,” Holden said in an interview with Politico late Friday. “I’m a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles.”

It’s a damn good thing there are only three Black guys to keep track of, because more would be just impossible.

Trump told reporters gathered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida

Hey, a public transportation nerd! I’m a public transportation nerd too!

The headline is misleading.

This man travelled from Canada to Mexico on only public transport

It’s misleading because duh, millions of people do that every week. It turns out they meant local public transportation, i.e. city buses and the like.

William Hui has been fascinated with public transportation for as long as he can remember. So it only made sense that the 40-year-old systems engineer would challenge himself to travel from his hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, to Tijuana, Mexico, solely on public buses and trains.

On 24 June, Mr Hui set out to do just that, taking a nine-day journey along the US Pacific coast. Mr Hui told

The BBC gloats over a man’s gloating over stealing a gold medal from a woman.

Imane Khelif said “attacks” over her gender eligibility gave her victory a “special taste” after she won Olympic women’s boxing gold a year after being disqualified from the World Championships.

The Algerian was banned and reported to have failed gender eligibility tests but, having been allowed to compete in Paris, beat Chinese world champion Yang Liu by unanimous decision over five rounds to win welterweight gold.

While the men roared with laughter.

Khelif said she had sent a “single message” with her gold – that her “dignity and honour is above everything else”.

“My message to the whole world is that they should to commit

Words fail me.

Trump stacks the lies one on top of another.

San Francisco’s former mayor Willie Brown has dismissed as “fiction” Donald Trump’s story that they once endured a scary helicopter trip together. The former president said on Thursday that he and Mr Brown “went down” in a helicopter together and Mr Brown was “a little concerned”.

That’s so Trump. He wasn’t concerned, but Mr Brown was. Geddit??????

“We thought maybe this was the end,” Trump said. “We were in a helicopter… and there was an emergency landing. This was not a pleasant landing.” Mr Brown, 90, told US media he had never shared a helicopter with Trump, adding: “I don’t think I’d want to ride on the same helicopter with

Human Rights Watch has nothing but contempt for women’s rights. I guess to them “human” just means “male.”

The outpouring of vitriol against Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif in the Paris Olympics boxing competition shows the immense harms “sex testing” policies cause. The International Olympic Committee is right to stand against sex testing.

Adults tell twerps we’re not going to invent new categories of sex/gender idenniny just for twerps:

BAFTA has dealt a blow to nonbinary performers, deciding – after spending two years debating the thorny question of ‘gendered’ acting categories – that awards nominees will have to pick a side and choose whether they want to compete as ‘actors’ or ‘actresses‘. 

There are no “nonbinary performers”; there are only twerps who call themselves “nonbinary.”

The announcement places non-binary performers – like Emma Corrin, Emma D’Arcy and Bella Ramsey – in a tricky position. 

If they’re so non-binary why are they called Emma and Emma and Bella? Also why can’t the Mail decide whether there’s a hyphen in non-binary or not?

The Telegraph:

Sharron Davies raised fears of a woman Olympian being killed as she joined fairness for sport campaigners in demanding sex tests for all competitors. The former silver-medallist swimmer said the “insane” gender row engulfing boxing at these Games amounts to “genuine neglect” by the IOC. 

Genuine, knowing, calculated, brutal, murderous neglect. A man’s feelings somehow matter more than a woman’s physical safety.

Davies and Fiona McAnena, of the group Sex Matters, appealed for sport not to get sidetracked by doubts over the credibility of the International Boxing Association, which carried out gender eligibility tests on Khelif and Lin in 2022 and 2023.

“In boxing, it is insane to put a male in a ring with a

Originally a comment by Your Name’s not Bruce? on There are no women.

I looked at that Facebook page. I get the feeling the motivation is not making menstrual products available but doing the whole “never mention women” thing. An opportunity to conspicuously erase women!

The more I looked at it, the more I thought the same. As far as I went (which, granted wasn’t that far, as there’s only so much delusion and dishonesty I can stomach), it was all sex denial and female erasure from both directions. The “Equity” in the Period Equity Project seems to come from their belief that anyone can have one:

Menstrual hygiene is a human right and refers to the practices and

And another thing. Why have journalists stopped using a closing comma after an interpolated explanation or detail or the like? The Telegraph journalist who wrote the piece about the Hope Not Hate guy skipped one in the second paragraph and I sneakily put it in because it’s NECESSARY.

Like so: Fiona Parker wrote:

“Nick Lowles, chief executive of Hope Not Hate used Twitter on Saturday night to claim there had been reports of an acid attack in Middlesbrough.”

WHY??

There obviously has to be a comma after “chief executive of Hope Not Hate” to close the interjection that started with “chief executive.” Why the hell do so many reporters leave it out? Pig ignorance or is it some kind of … Read the rest

If you can’t find any racist incidents, just make one up!

The Telegraph three days ago:

The boss of an anti-racism charity has apologised after wrongly tweeting that a Muslim woman had been attacked with acid during rioting.

Nick Lowles, chief executive of Hope Not Hate, used Twitter on Saturday night to claim there had been reports of an acid attack in Middlesbrough.

“Reports are coming in of acid being thrown out of a car window at a Muslim woman in Middlesbrough. Absolutely horrendous,” Mr Lowles wrote.

Sounds a bit Owen Jonesish, doesn’t it. “Apsly howwendous, mate.”

There’s activism and then there’s calling for cutting people’s throats.

A suspended Labour councillor has been arrested on suspicion of encouraging murder after a video emerged in which he appeared to call for far-right protesters’ throats to be cut.

Ricky Jones, who was a councillor in Dartford, Kent, was filmed making the call at a counter-demonstration in Walthamstow on Wednesday evening. He has also been arrested for an offence under the Public Order Act following the incident on Wednesday evening, the Metropolitan police said.

In a statement on X, in which a link to the original video was given, the force said: “Officers have arrested a man aged in his 50s at an address in south-east London. He was

I don’t think I knew that Trump actually gave important government jobs to members of his expensive golf resort.

Trump is making available four new and rarely available memberships at his exclusive Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where he mingled freely with unvetted patrons during his first term of office and accepted policy advice from guests scrawled on cocktail napkins.

The $1m cost of each membership, which will open for applications in October, exactly one month before the presidential election, also represents a 43% hike from the current initiation fee of $700,000 – an eye-popping increase given the former president has railed against Joe Biden for what he sees as out of control inflation.
