USA Today’s Nancy Armour lashed out at ESPN's Sam Ponder over Ponder's support of saving girls' sports. SPOILER: Armour opposes saving women's sports and is on the wrong side of history and supports boys dominating in girls' sports if those boys claim to be girls. The one is Nancy's colleague chirped up with the dumbest analogy you'll hear. It's become a whole thing.

Last month Ponder, in defiance of her woke employers at ESPN, tweeted against Joe Biden's changes to Title IX that would expand protections to boys who identify as girls instead of just girls. "This would take away so many opportunities for biological women and girls in sports. It is a shame that we are needing to fight for the integrity of Title IX in 2023 and the reason it was needed in the first place."

I had assumedPonder would be forced into an apology by ESPN. Instead, she doubled down, surprised by all the parents and female athletes who have thanked her for speaking out. After all, they get told they'll have their lives destroyed if they do. She again retweeted Riley Gaines, herself an advocate for both women's sports and NOT forcing girls to be exposed to penises in the girls' locker room. That shouldn't need to be said, yet here we are.

The last tweet set Nancy Armour off. She refused to calm down, accusing Ponder of "plain old bigotry." Armour is of the leftist belief this isn't about protecting girls' sports and providing especially girls in junior high and high school the opportunities to learn, grow, and develop they get in scholastic athletics. Not unlike the opportunities Lia Thomas received when she was still competing as WIll Thomas.

Nope. It's all about nothing other than hate, fear, and ignorance.

Don’t be fooled by the people who screech about ‘fairness’ to cloak their bigotry toward transgender girls and women, the transgender girls and women who have the audacity to want to play sports, in particular.

Then Lindsay Schnell, another USA Today reporter, chimed in with this bucket of derp.

That's like asking if it's fair to LeBron James that he'll never be as good as Michael Jordan. Sports IS fair. Some people are better at it than others, sure. But as long as there are set rules for people to start off on, you have the same ability to excel based on your ability and how much work you put in.

Girls who went through puberty as boys -- because they are boys -- have an unfair advantage with bone density, testosterone, and a number of other biological factors. It's why a lot of these trans superstars her mediocre athletes when they competed as dudes. It's also why you don't hear about women who transitioned to men dominating in women's sports.

I'm a conservative punk rock fan. Assuming 99.86% of the bands I listen to vote for different people than me is my default position. It's not surprising that Paramore leader Hayley Williams doesn't like Ron DeSantis. I was more surprised the band was touring, let alone still together. But it appears Williams thinks DeSantis is in the business of misery.

The band was playing a festival in New Jersey where the singer let her fans know if they vote for Ron DeSantis, they are, quote, "f*cking dead" to her. Not just dead, but f*cking dead. Her dissent was captured by a fan who I'm guessing will be making her account private as this video continues to blow up.

Williams was apparently in her feelings when she saw someone on the internet say she’s "too afraid to speak about politics on tour." This is her claiming "Nuh-uh." And it's not about being too afraid to discuss politics. But when fans are paying hundreds of dollars thanks to Ticketmaster premium seating, fans would prefer hearing the hits instead.

As I said, I assume the artists I listen to vote for different people. It only becomes an issue if a) they are douchebags about it, and/or b) they sound like they hate half the country that disagrees with them. My eyes are rolling too hard to render a verdict here.

Here's what I'm going to go out on a limb and say is Hayley Williams speaking out about politics. She thinks Ron DeSantis passed a law that makes it illegal to say the word "gay" in Florida. And that when elected president, he will ban America from saying the word "gay."

She'll also claim that Ron DeSantis is banning books. Because claiming glorified pornography is not suitable for school children is considered "banning" to some people. Even though kids' parents can still purchase the books for their children if they feel exposing them to pornography is important.

Williams may even be upset that, due to DeSantis passing laws to protect children, they are no longer welcome at a Furry convention. One can only guess at this point.

I'll have to go the rest of my life knowing that life no longer exists to Williams. That's ok. I'll be the bigger person and still acknowledge the banger after banger the band put out from 2005 to 2013.

A mass shooting happened in Hollywood, Florida over the Memorial Holiday Weekend. And right away, Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) want to you to blame Ron DeSantis for it.

Gavin Newsom was the first to claim: “DeSantis signed a permit-less carry bill in April that removes requirements for: background checks, instruction, training [and] oversight. Until our leaders have the courage to stop bowing down to the NRA and enact common sense gun safety this kind of senseless violence will continue."

Small problem. That law doesn’t go into effect until July 1. Meaning everyone illegally carrying before July 1st, are the same criminals they always have been.

Democrats and the media (again, repeating myself) are also eerily quiet about the Chicago shootings this weekend that included at least FIFTY victims from age 2 to 77.

Crowder and the gang discuss why they think that is on today's show.

There were multiple shootings this Memorial Day weekend but Democrats are only focused on one... Hollywood, Florida. A Twilight actress is angry with Target and refuses to bring her non-binary 7 year old. Also, AI is taking over the world and the person behind it all will make you sick.

A group of reportedly FIFTY teenagers jumping two Marines is not the way to acknowledge Memorial Day. At least not for you or me or anyone else who isn't a sucker-punching little biyatch. But it's what happened in -- surprise, surprise, surprise -- California this past weekend. All over some fireworks. And the fact the teens were setting off the fireworks in a crowd.

Hunter Antonino, one of the Marines attacked, tells KCLA-TV that the horde of teens was shooting fireworks on the beach and harassing other people. The two Marines asked them to stop. One of the Marine's was hit in the head with debris, and the other was hit from behind by one of the thugs. Then the beatdown started.

The Marines were overwhelmed and could only "turtle up" to protect their heads until two other bystanders ran in to break it up.

The San Clemente Times reports the two Marines only suffered minor injuries, and estimates between 10-30 teens were involved in the beatdown. Others, like one of the video embeds, estimate fifty.

No arrests have been made as of yet. The Orange County Sheriff's Department "will continue investigating this matter until all individuals responsible are identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

Upon the capture of any of the assailants, I would not press charges. I would however force them to face one of the Marines and see how they do in a one-on-one situation, without 49 of their friends jumping in. It's a proportional response.

If you are boycotting Target because you do not like the way they are targeting children with their woke propaganda, you are a literal economic terrorist. That is according to Economics Prof. Justin Wolfers on MSNBC. He literally used the word "literally."

To be clear, it is not literally economic terrorism for the left to boycott Hobby Lobby or the Salvation Army. Or boycott Major League Baseball unless they move the All-Star Game out of Atlanta. Or threaten companies if they hire employees from a company they don't like.

If that's the case, when Target caves into this, then it says that the moment you threaten the employees of a large corporation you get to control its policies. This is economic terrorism. Literally terrorism. Creating fear among the workers and forcing the corporations to sell the things you want, not sell the things you don't, so I think it's very worrying.

So, Poindexter claimed the Target changes were in response to "employees being threatened." I don't know how many employees are actually being "threatened" versus corporate media cherry-picking one or two instances to distract their audience from what the issue really is. If anyone is legit threatening part-time employees who weren't even supposed to be here today, stop doing that. And if the gayest thing about your video "exposing Target" is you, you might want to finesse your message.

Target doesn't that their employees are being "threatened." They care that after seeing what happened to Bud Light that Americans are choosing a different corporation to spend their money at. What's genuinely "very worrying" to leftists is that conservatives and apolitical voters are learning to vote with their dollars. That makes it difficult for the left to use corporations to force their radical; agenda on people.

We're already seeing it. Coca-Cola rejected an ESG shareholder push for the company to lash out at states that place limits on abortion. They even wanted the company to pledge to pull out of those states unless the laws are changed. Coca-Cola, a company that was all about pandering to woke activists prior to Bud Light, overwhelmingly voted against it.

Leftists bullying corporations into submission only worked because they were the only side speaking up. Now that the other side is telling brands they'll take their business elsewhere, corporations have a choice to make. Pander to the radical left, many of who don't shop at or support your company. Or continue to make money by selling things and leaving politics to MSNBC.

News broke over the weekend that new Lululemon employees were fired for calling the police on shoplifters. AKA, people who stole from their Atlanta based store. Now, you may be asking to yourself, "Self...aren't you SUPPOSED to call the police when someone steals?" You would think so, and in the olden days -- a bygone era of 2019 -- that's what we did.

But apparently it goes against company policy.

“Chill, b*tch. Shut your ass up." - one of the bad guys.

The women watched the men leave, then called the Fayette County Police. Three men (only two are seen in the video) were charged with theft by shoplifting and theft by receiving stolen property. It sounds like the system worked. But the two employees were fired for violating the corporation's "zero tolerance" policy. Lululemon has zero tolerance for employees doing anything to stop shoplifting.

What are they supposed to do?

After it’s over, you scan a QR code. And that’s that. We’ve been told not to put it in any notes, because that might scare other people. We’re not supposed to call the police, not really supposed to talk about it.

Odd that a company would have a policy NOT to call the police when a crime happens. Then you see that Lululemon's two biggest shareholders are ESG (Environmental, social, and governance) pushers Vanguard and Blackrock. ESG is the "framework used to assess an organization's business practices and performance on various sustainability and ethical issues." One of those ethical issues is whether it is equity or not to arrest criminals for committing crime.

And in 2020, at the height of woke virtue signaling, the company hosted a conference on how to "resist capitalism" and "decolonize gender." I'm not entirely sure how to "decolonize" "gender." What I do know is that these are the faces of the girls who got fired:

And this is the face of one of the shoplifters.

This is why while videos of bystanders getting fed up at shoplifters and taking matters into their own hands a fun content, it's inadvisable. If you are standing up for a small business struggling to make it, that's one thing. Not for corporate retail chains where the executives in charge have made it clear they don't care about you and will throw YOU under the bus no questions asked.

It goes criminal, progressive policies, shareholders, the homeless guy outside the store, whatever the issue du jour is that has nothing to do with the business, then at the bottom of the list... you, trying to do what's right.

Retired Army Sgt. Joe Cantasano shared a vulnerable video of himself on TikTok, expressing his frustrations with the health care he receives (or doesn't receive) from Veterans Affairs. When people point to the VA as an example of why the government has no place running this country's health care, this video is an example of why.

Some of the issues Sgt. Cantasano is dealing with are issues other Americans deal with trying to stay with the same health care provider. There is one key difference though. The VAs one job is to make sure he doesn't have to.

I gotta open f*cking Pandora's box again [every time he has to switch to a new therapist] because they're gonna want to know everything, and I'm gonna have to live through that for a month. It's not a lot to ask, I just want to be able to talk to the same person, and not have to retell these f*cking stories that torment me.

This is the line that really cut me.

I've been doing it all on my own, just white-knuckling it.

Every year or half a year when a different Hashtag Mental Health holiday comes up, we all say how "you are not alone" and "you are not a burden." It's clear that is not the case.

Even more infuriating, I don't know if you know this or not, but MANY of our veterans suffer from PTSD. The horrors of war are known to do that. It's one thing if the VA can't fill a prescription or might have a long wait to get a surgery authorized. But how the f*ck is helping veterans with their mental health NOT the one thing they do right?

Sgt. Cantasano says in a follow-up video that by allowing himself to be vulnerable and share an extremely emotional situation and an all too common problem inside veteran healthcare, he wanted to effect change and draw attention to the situation. It sounds like he's done that.

The problem is it should never have gotten so far that someone who risked their life for our country needed to post to social media to draw that attention.

I didn’t know who China McClain was until about five seconds ago. Basically, when I saw the video of her dragging Hollywood elites, I decided to do a Google search. I might not have known her, maybe you don’t know who she is, but your kiddos just might. She’s been in a handful of Disney movies over the past decade. And she’s just taken to Twitter to blast Hollywood’s—how best to put this--Satanic proclivities…

She lays it out in no uncertain terms just what she thinks about the toxic entertainment industry.

“The entertainment industry is about influence. There is a reason why you see people dressed up as Satan. Full-on visuals of Satan, people dressed as Satan, dressed as a demon, got upside-down crosses all on [their] clothes, or pentagrams all on their clothes. […] They know good and god-darn well that God exists. They also know that Satan exists. They’re just counting on the fact that y’all don’t know that.”

A few years ago, I would simply assume Ms. McClain here had just decided she wasn’t going to take her meds anymore, but this is 2022, and I cannot say this is even the craziest thing I’ve heard this week. A satanic cult in the entertainment industry is far more believable than human beings magically changing their genders based on how they feel when they wake up.

This might also explain why someone like Lil Nas X is able to get famous giving lap dances to a literal Satan figure. Or why Disney child stars always seem so messed up in the head. Or a litany of other things we see in the entertainment industry.

Do I believe McClain’s rant? I’m inclined to. But then, I already believed nearly every person in Hollywood and such were a bunch of godless heathens.

The schlimate crazies in America only care about the issue up to a certain point. The poors will signal their virtue on Twitter. Elitists will fly their private jets to lecture you about your gas stoves. No one truly commits to the gimmick. Overseas, they legit think the world is ending and are responding with some of the finest performative slacktivism this side of George Floyd influencers.

Before you get to this viral video, I did some journalisming while I wait for my neighborhood Memorial Day parade to start. Let's Dance is a Swedish dance reality show, kinda like America's Dancing with the Stars. Charlotte Kalla (the finalist) is a retired cross-country skier. And "Återställ Våtmarker" means "Restore Wetlands." Got all that?

Now watch the boom camera operator take this dinkus out.

Take your Wetlands and stick them up your nose, soyboy! These are the finals!

What I'd like to know is if this was a rogue camera operator, or if a director told him to do it. "Boom, swing down on my mark 3...2...1...make that schmuck unconcious!"

Though for the sake of allowing both sides of an argument, I can understand why the enviro-wackos might be resorting to more desperate measures. Nothing else seems to work. Motorists are fed up when you block traffic.

Crazy gluing yourself to concrete does nothing but get your hand removed the hard way.

Destroying priceless works of art is too highbrow for modern society. All that's left is to go low-brow and try to interrupt a reality television show. Silly, because people care about reality TV. If the boom operator didn't knock the guy out, security and a gaggle of angry choreographers would have handled business themselves.
