Fencing was my sport.

The female fencer says the issue has turned her from a lifelong Democrat to a conservative Republican

…

Minutes later, the referees dealt Turner a black card, which represents the most severe penalty, leading to expulsion from the tournament or event for serious rule infractions or unsportsmanlike behavior.

Turner said she was then escorted to the bout committee where she had to explain what she did. She says the members then handed her a copy of the association’s transgender policy and made her sign a document acknowledging the black card. Turner said she signed the document under objection.

I imagine that this rot is coming from the college and university level.  I can’t believe that the private clubs and adult fencing organizations are supporting this.  But I don’t really know, it’s been decades since I racked my blades.

How about this mendacious  POS statement issued by USA Fencing.

A USA Fencing spokesperson also told Fox News Digital that Turner was not penalized for her stance against trans inclusion, but simply for refusing to fence.

But Miss Turner was never given advanced warning or a choice to fence or not to fence a male fencer.  Her statement afterwards is clear and true; “Something needs to be done, and there are activists who have embedded themselves in authoritative positions in sports bodies.”

Bingo!  It is the activists who worm their way onto the ruling bodies of sports, doesn’t matter what sport because they don’t care about the sport. Doesn’t matter because they have one interest and one interest only; push the Progressive agenda and make the grotesque “normal“.  People who served on the ruling bodies of most amateur sports mainly used to be retired from that sport and served from a love of that activity or a sense of duty to give their time and efforts back.  My fencing instructor was Ed Richards, fencing champion nationally and in the Pan American games as a young man and later was a member of the governing body of US fencing, many decades ago.  I can’t conceive of him or the men and women like him supporting this insanity.

President Trump is right, the only way to fight these ‘rats in the wall’ is to cut all funding and support until these infected organizations clean themselves up.

I knew RFK was being put in the right place!

RFKJr. Rumored to Be on Verge of Blocking Big Pharma From Advertising on Television
—Ace

MAHA: RFK Jr. is moving to ban Big Pharma advertising on TV, a direct strike at the lifeblood of networks like CNN, MSNBC, & CNBC, where Big Pharma bankrolls the programming generating 75% of ad revenue. The US is 1 of 2 countries that still allow them.

I don’t really care about this issue, to be honest.

But here’s what I do care about:

1, Big Pharma does not advertise on television to influence consumers, who cannot of course just buy the medications themselves. (It can tell consumers to suggest the drug to a doctor, but there are other ways to market to doctors, and of course Big Pharma does that too.)

Big Pharma advertises on television to influence the media, because the media would die without their billions in advertising dollars.

The Vigilant Fox @VigilantFox

Why are there so many pharma ads on TV?

HINT: It’s not to sell drugs.

A TV news president admitted to RFK Jr. that any host allowing him to speak negatively about Big Pharma on air would be FIRED because “this is where our advertisers are.”

Jaws dropped when former pharma insider @CalleyMeans
told Tucker Carlson on his show, “The news ad spending from pharma is a public relations lobbying tactic, essentially to BUY OFF the news… The media plays referee because they’re funded by so on all levels.”

There are only two countries that allow pharma ads on TV: one is the United States, and the other is New Zealand. And those pharma ads make up a BIG chunk of money.

RFK Jr. was told by a network executive that “during non-election years, during some months, up to 70% of his news division revenues are coming from pharma.”

During the 1950s and 1960s, when evidence about the dangers of smoking began to emerge, news organizations hesitated to expose Big Tobacco because they depended on the industry for its ad revenue.

Now, the same conflict exists today with the pharmaceutical industry and TV news. This is why the mainstream media is in full-blown PANIC over RFK Jr.’s HHS appointment. They know that once he gets in, he is going to END pharma ads on TV. And that’s going to be a devastating blow to their wallets.

Liz Wheeler says that the media will literally go bankrupt if Big Pharma is banned from advertising. They’re on life support as it is

Foreign born Federal Judges.

Posted on March 25, 2025 by On the North River

A third of all federal judges on the DC district court were born outside the United States.

The United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the source of many of the cases interfering with President Donald Trump’s authority, has 15 judges, (Counting Chief Judge James Boasberg) and five of them were born outside the United States.While country of origin doesn’t come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges with ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the U.S. military or immigration.

The concept of foreign-born judges is a newer phenomenon in this district. In addition to the 15 main judges, the D.C. District has 10 older, senior judges who still occasionally hear cases in the district. This group, nominated as far back as Ronald Reagan the 1980s, were all born in the U.S.

But starting in 2014, former President Barack Obama appointed Judge Tanya Sue Chutkan, born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was in the U.S. by 1979, attending George Washington University. Before sitting on federal court, she had no experience as a judge. Chutkan is overseeing the legal challenge to DOGE’s work to slash excess government spending.

Obama also appointed Judge Amit P. Mehta to the D.C. court. Mehta also had no previous experience as a judge. Mehta was born in Patan, Gujarat, India. He and his parents came to the U.S. when he was a baby, age one. He was raised in Maryland. Mehta will oversee four January 6 civil cases that aim to blame Trump for injuries and squeeze money, court time, and political embarrassment out of him.

The other three foreign born judges were nominated by former President Joe Biden.

 

What a surprise.

Nolte: ‘Snow White’ Bombs — Breaks Record for Lowest Live-Action Remake Opening

With its dreadful $43 million opening, Snow White now holds the record for the lowest debut weekend of any of Disney’s live-action remakes.

JOHN NOLTE
 
Before promotion, this disaster cost $270 million. At this point, it’s doubtful it will gross $270 million worldwide, and when you remove the 50 percent theater cut, the Disney Grooming Syndicate is looking at a brutal, brutal loss.

I’m just glad this is finally out and will quickly disappear, never to be seen or heard from again. Like “Cats (2019)”.

WATCH: Kevin O’Leary Warns Left-Wing Thugs Terrorizing Tesla Dealerships of Brutal Consequences

“They’ll rot in hell in prison for 20 years. And frankly, as far as I’m concerned, that’s okay.”

Kevin O’Leary just tore into the leftists hitting Tesla dealerships nationwide, laying out a crystal-clear warning: this administration’s itching to nab someone, and when they do, it’s game over for decades.

Here’s Mr. Wonderful’s no-BS take: “All those cars have cameras in them, and those dealerships have cameras. You’re beyond being stupid when you do that. You’re going to go to jail.”

“And you now have a government that just got their mandate. They can’t wait to find idiots that do this.”

“You’re going to spend 5 to 20 years in prison. If they get them on terrorism, which I think is a stretch, they will have no parole, no shortened sentence.”

“They’ll rot in hell in prison for 20 years. And frankly, as far as I’m concerned, that’s okay.” “Breaking in, shooting a car, setting it on fire—nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with Tesla—you are a criminal and you should go to jail!”

Jaw dropping Government waste and fraud.

Another Useless Agency Bilking Taxpayers Uncovered

Another day, another revelation of another useless government agency where bureaucrats lived like kings on the taxpayer’s dime.

One of the seven small federal agencies that President Donald Trump ordered downsized or eliminated on Friday was rife with corruption, with its employees hiring friends and relatives, commissioning paintings of themselves, and using government credit cards to indulge in constant luxuries.

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) occupied a nine-story office tower on D.C.’s K Street for only 60 employees, many of whom actually worked from home, prior to the pandemic. Its managers had luxury suites with full bathrooms; one manager would often be “in the shower” when she was needed, while another used her bathroom as a cigarette lounge. FMCS recorded its director as being on a years-long business trip to D.C. so he could have all of his meals and living expenses covered by taxpayers, simply for showing up to the office.

FMCS is a 230-employee agency that exists to serve as a voluntary mediator between unions and businesses. As an “independent agency,” its director nominally reports to the president, but the agency is so small that in effect, there is no oversight at all — and it showed, becoming a real-life caricature of all the excesses that the Department of Government Efficiency has alleged take place in government.

This reporter spent a year investigating the agency a decade ago, and I found egregious and self-serving violations of hiring, pay, contracting, and purchase card rules. One thing I could not discover is why the agency actually existed, other than to provide luxurious lifestyles for its employees. Endless junkets to resort destinations, which employees openly used to facilitate personal vacations, were justified as building awareness of the agency in the hopes that someone would actually want to use its voluntary services.

FMCS seemed, quite clearly, to exist for the benefit of those on its payroll, and not much else. One employee told me: “Let me give you the honest truth: A lot of FMCS employees don’t do a hell of a lot, including myself. Personally, the reason that I’ve stayed is that I just don’t feel like working that hard, plus the location on K Street is great, plus we all have these oversized offices with windows, plus management doesn’t seem to care if we stay out at lunch a long time. Can you blame me?”

Top FMCS official George Cohen used a “recreation and reception fund” to order champagne and $200 coasters for his office, and to purchase artwork painted by his wife. The tiny agency commissioned paintings of its top employees — as one employee told me, “like they were reigning kings or something…I’ve never seen anything like it before.” It spent $2,402 retouching the portrait of someone who briefly held the top job in an acting capacity.

It goes on and on, some of it will blow your mind.  This is the truth of your Federal Government NOT at work.

Read it all.

Steak and BJ day.

Posted on March 14, 2025 by On the North River

Steak and BJ Day is a holiday celebrated on March 14th, established as the male counterpart to Valentine’s Day, which is why it’s celebrated exactly one month after. To understand how this holiday is celebrated, one simply needs to read its title.

The two main components of this holiday are for women to prepare a steak for their men and engage in some “oral intimacy.” Simple, right? However, since it coincides with Pi Day—the day dedicated to the mathematical value of π, often celebrated with the pun of eating pie—men should be cautious not to overindulge in pie if they plan to partake in Steak and BJ Day as well.

History

The origin of this holiday is unclear. However, the widely accepted theory is that it was created in 2002 by Tom Birdsey, a radio DJ, while on air. If true, the holiday spread rapidly thanks to word of mouth, first across the North American continent and then throughout Europe. It is now celebrated by people worldwide.

Customs, Traditions, and Celebrations

Steak and BJ Day is predicated on the notion that the traditional Valentine’s Day celebration is primarily for women. Proponents of this holiday argue that men have no interest in candy, romantic dinners, or flowers.

They claim that what men truly desire is some oral gratification and a substantial piece of meat—a sentiment many men would agree with, unless they are vegetarians or vegans. However, since Steak and BJ Day is a conditional holiday, men do not automatically receive steaks and oral favors on this day.

It all hinges on how well they treated their wives or girlfriends on Valentine’s Day. If men failed to meet their obligations on that day, or if their partners were dissatisfied with their efforts, then women are not obligated to indulge men on this holiday.

Thus, some view this holiday as an incentive for men to fulfill their Valentine’s Day responsibilities. If they fall short on the holiday dedicated to their ladies, they receive nothing on their own holiday. This establishes Steak and BJ Day as a quid pro quo arrangement.

From the comments on Islam…Hell cult.

Posted on March 10, 2025 by On the North River

I’m going to keep putting this up until everyone gets it:

Imtiaz Mahmood: “Let me tell you why a Muslim would drive his car into a crowd of innocent people. I was raised Muslim, and I know exactly why this happens. It’s not poverty. It’s not oppression. It’s not even radicalization. It’s the logical outcome of Islamic doctrine itself.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a Muslim or not; we, as human beings, carry guilt deep inside us. We know we are not good enough and spend our lives trying to redeem ourselves through good deeds, thinking it will make the guilt disappear.

Christianity, for example, offers a way out of guilt, a solution not based on your works but on Christ’s. Salvation isn’t earned; it’s given. You accept that you can’t redeem yourself because Christ did everything on your behalf. That means you’re free. Free to live, free to build, free to serve, free to love.

When Christians feel lost, broken, and needing forgiveness, they can go to church, talk to a pastor or priest, and leave knowing they have been forgiven.

Islam, on the other hand, doesn’t offer redemption; it weaponizes guilt. Instead of providing salvation, Allah exposes you, holds your sins over your head, and threatens you with hellfire and torture in the grave.

The Quran isn’t a book of peace; it’s a book of threats. It bullies Muslims into obedience through fear, humiliation, and punishment.

So, what happens when a Muslim seeks redemption? They try to be better Muslims. They pray, fast, give to charity, go on Hajj, and do everything Allah commands. But it never works. I know. I did it.

And no matter how much you pray, no matter how much you try, the guilt never goes away. Because deep down, every Muslim knows it’s not enough. Allah always demands more.

Allah loves those who die fighting against the infidels. That’s not an opinion, it’s in the Quran, Hadith, and every lesson taught to children.

This is why Muslims, even the so-called “moderates,” always hesitate to condemn terrorism. Because they know Allah requires jihad. They might not be willing to commit it themselves, but they cannot say it’s wrong.

So when a Muslim fails to reach peace through religious rituals, they have two choices:

Give up, stop being devout, and learn to live with the guilt, or commit to jihad because that’s the only way to be true to yourself.

The Quran spells it out clearly: “Kill those who do not worship Allah or obey the Prophet” (9:29).

So when a Muslim embraces this identity fully, killing infidels isn’t just justified; it’s joyful. It’s an act of:

✔ Saving yourself
✔ Obeying Allah
✔ Securing your eternity
✔ Finally escaping the crushing weight of guilt

This is why a Muslim can drive his car into a crowd of innocent people and feel nothing but satisfaction.

Because for the first time in his life, he finally believes he has done something worthy of redemption.”
