Men in Women’s Sports: Imane Khelif wins boxing gold to cap 2024 Olympics defined by gender controversy

Her time in Paris, though, was filled with the lingering effects of a controversy that started last year when she was disqualified from the world championships — along with Taiwan boxer Lin Yu-ting — for allegedly failing a gender test issued by the International Boxing Association. Yu-ting, who has a gold medal fight on Saturday in her division, has blasted that test as “false” and said that the process “didn’t follow any standards.” Khelif added that winning was extra special with all of the recent detractors. “That also gives my success a special taste because of those attacks,” she said.
Secret Service in Butler, PA
Acting Director Rowe of the Secret Service lied to Congress when he testified that there was a briefing prior to Trump’s speech, and that the blame lay with the locals. I have stated that what happened was a direct result of complicity through incompetence. The Dems and the associated government agencies have shown through their statements and actions that they would be delighted to have Trump eliminated. The question now becomes how far would they go to accomplish this.
Fuming cop caught on video saying he told Secret Service days before to secure roof where Thomas Crooks opened fire at Trump: ‘I f–king told them’
A police officer assigned to the Pennsylvania rally where former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated fumed to a fellow cop that he told the Secret Service to man the roof where the gunman opened fire, body camera footage shows. A fired-up Butler Township Police Department cop can be heard seething over the Secret Service’s decision to leave the roof unoccupied — just 130 yards from where Trump was speaking on July 13, according to footage published by the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
“I f–king told them they need to post a guy f–king over here,” one cop is heard saying shortly after a shot rang out.
“Who?” another officer asks.
“The Secret Service,” the officer responds. “I told them that f–king Tuesday.”
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has played a significant role in establishing Minnesota as a "trans refuge" or "sanctuary state" for transgender individuals seeking gender-affirming care. In 2023, Walz signed a bill and issued an executive order to protect people seeking and providing gender-affirming healthcare from prosecution by states with restrictive laws. This legislation prevents Minnesota courts from enforcing out-of-state laws that penalize such medical procedures, making the state a key destination for transgender individuals, especially minors, seeking treatments like puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or surgery. Walz's efforts have been part of a broader progressive agenda that includes banning conversion therapy and ensuring access to gender-affirming care. His policies have attracted individuals and families from states with more restrictive laws, contributing to Minnesota's reputation as a safe haven for the transgender community. Additionally, Walz's advocacy for LGBTQ rights extends beyond healthcare, as he has supported legislation protecting LGBTQ individuals from discrimination and has actively promoted inclusivity throughout his political career
. Executive Order 23-03, signed by Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, provides several specific protections for minors seeking gender-affirming care:
Protection of Access: The order ensures that individuals, including minors, have the right to seek and receive gender-affirming healthcare in Minnesota without facing penalties. This includes medical, surgical, counseling, or referral services, as well as telehealth services, to support and affirm an individual's gender identity or expression
Walz Scorecard
Increasing taxes, though Minnesota already has the fifth-highest top income-tax rate among the states, 9.85% at $193,000 of earnings for a single filer. Mr. Walz added a 1% surtax on net investment income above $1 million, while reducing deductions, and the Governor wanted more.
Minnesota is a rare state that still levies a death tax, up to 16%, on top of the federal 40% rate, which is one reason the state is losing taxpayers to better climes.
Making an estimated 81,000 illegal immigrants in the state eligible for driver’s licenses, along with health insurance through the MinnesotaCare public marketplace.
Funding “the North Star Promise Program, which provides free college for students with a family income under $80,000,” including illegal immigrants.
Creating a state system for paid family and medical leave, capped at a combined 20 weeks a year and funded by a 0.88% payroll tax.
Mandating that public utilities generate 80% carbon-free electricity by 2030, ramping up to 100% by 2040. He’s a fervent believer in “climate action.”
Subsidizing electric vehicles by “requiring EV charging infrastructure within or adjacent to new commercial and multi-family buildings,” as the Governor’s office bragged.
Passing one of the nation’s most permissive abortion statutes that has essentially no limits and no age consideration for minors.
Declaring Minnesota to be a “trans refuge,” with a law saying that the state will ignore a “court order for the removal of a child issued in another state because the child’s parent or guardian assisted the child in receiving gender-affirming care in this state.”
Establishing automatic voter registration and letting Minnesotans sign up for a permanent absentee ballot option.
