[The NCAA now allows transgender females to compete in women's track events, and soon other sports.  The big concern that needs to be addressed is not that the transgenders are setting new records for women, but that this makes no never mind to the officials now fashioning this new sports world, β€œFocusing on performance advantage is largely irrelevant because this is a rights issue. We shouldn’t be worried about trans people taking over the Olympics. We should be worried about their fairness and human rights instead.” (more here)  gjr]

    Can you make an attempt to document that statement Todd? Trump down nearly 9% in consensus poll for example. Even Rasmussen has him down by 12 from the day he took office. that hardly shows he’s “gaining huge support”, as you put it. Again show me the basis for your statement.
    Here’s a link to Rasmussen to verify my numbers.

    Also Todd the Repubs lost 40 seats in the House last year. That’s not a sign that Trump has a groundswell of public support. Also his Presidency has sealed the fate of the California Republicans and specifically the Republicans in Nevada County.

    No matter how many times you say it matters not. The R’s have the Senate so all your goofy democrats resolution will die there. And we took 63 from your pal Obama and 60 from Clinton in the House. But when you keep repeating your mantra it makes me worried you have dementia. They repeat the same things over and over, just like you.
    As far as California, I tried my best in the 90’s but the swamp would not listen to any of the 58 chairs and we knew where they were headed. Yes it is the party’s leaders at fault and I have washed my hands of them here in Cali.

    Shucks, that was too easy to predict. When the Dems start falling apart, they always resort to the race card. The one trick pony show. It’s all they had left in their arsenal in the weeks leading up to Nov. 2016, and it was the first thing out of their pie holes the morning after Trump won the election on this very site here.
    When Trump’s numbers started to rise with Blacks a couple months back, a blindman could predict what was (is) coming next. They cannot afford to let any members of the black commmunity gravitate to Trump. No leaving the plantation, stay on the reservation. No way can the Leftinistas let any slippage occur. That would be disastrous to the max.
    Thus we have the scripted text Lanny Davis hands to Cohen and the first words out is β€˜Trump is a racist, a con, a racist con. Now, let’s get to why I am here.’ No Cohen, that was the why in why your were you there. A bit later that day, fireworks erupted when a black woman from the Administration was sitting on β€˜R’ side of section. β€œWho brought that PROP into this hearing! As a person of color, I find that racist!!!!!” No blacks allowed (unless it is someone from the Left side). πŸ™‚
    The GND may be too expensive, but Trump is a racist. Hi, my name is Kamala Harris and I am running for President of the United States!……and Trump is a racist. Welll, maybe Meuller’s report won’t contain any β€˜there’ there, but Trump is a racist!
    From here on out, no matter the issue, policy, or topic, there will be no more sentences ending in a period coming from the Leftinistas. The Lefties will end every sentence with a comma and the obligatory β€œTrump is a racist” then followed by a period. Hillary’s recent statesmens are just the warm up for more of the same to come, daily. Their one and only bullet left. Their silver bullet. Oh how imaginative.

    Funny guy. Yes, the Trump honeymoon period lasted a month before the cries of collusion with Russia and other claims started eroding public support.
    Now, by the Rassmussen polling numbers you’ve linked show his numbers back to even. 49/49. That probably has something to do with the now nearly universal belief that Mueller has nothing, or Schiff would have leaked something by now.
    Yes, you’ve spent over two years trashing a duly and fairly elected President of the USA only because he’s a coarse SOB that you don’t like. Got it.
    You might want to stop that behavior before it reelects him.
    But you won’t. You can’t. It’s in your blood.

    re: BillT@1:45PM I’ve moved on from the crazy gender words I think. Words like ‘zir’, ‘xemself’, and ‘eir’ don’t need any help from me to be mocked by any sane person.
    I was just reading about something called ‘food sovereignty’ and ‘food justice activists’.
    You know, I think that the Soviets at their height were never this whacked out. Perhaps it’s the kind of thing you’d hear around the camp fire at a Shining Path meeting? Maybe it’s new to our part of the multiverse.
    In any case, the proof is in the pudding as regards to our current mass insanity. It could be that Western culture will simply be a footnote in Long Time. People speaking a descendant of Mandarin will marvel at the Parthenon, Mont-Saint-Michel, and Graceland. Learned tomes written on the descent of a martial and somewhat expansionist culture into a group version of Williams Syndrome.
    Sadly, we can’t pick on our local bolshies for this since they never peep up on these matters. I expect they are mostly members of the Hillary Scouts rather than full-fledged Blue Mobsters.

    In an unusual step, China’s ceremonial legislature is due to endorse a law meant to help end a bruising tariff war with Washington by discouraging officials from pressuring foreign companies to hand over technology.
    The battle with China’s biggest trading partner is overshadowing the National People’s Congress, the country’s highest-profile event of the year. It brings 3,000-plus delegates to the ornate Great Hall of the People in Beijing to endorse the ruling Communist Party’s economic and social welfare plans.
    The congress will go on for two weeks.
    It gives President Xi Jinping’s government a platform for advertising changes aimed at ending the fight with President Donald Trump that has disrupted trade in goods from soybeans to medical equipment.

    The bigger picture is so much more compelling, yet how can the finite wrestle with and apprehend the infinite, no less comprehend? Putting the parts together to make a whole, but what but what does it mean….. to me? Making sense of this crazy world. Guess overarching themes is all I can come up with. Then, sooner or later it’s tiime to act, ready or not.
    Love this story from a Princeton grad (young man) who passes through this area now and then and needs a couch to sleep on for night or two on his world travels.
    At Princeton, some students and professors in conjunction with other universities like Harvard (?) and the government, were looking for the cure for diabetes or something. They gathered the best computer techies on hand, feed all the science and data into the government Super Computer, and hit the go button and waited…..and waited….and waited. Usually the computer spits out something in a few minutes, 20 minutes max. Finally, they got tired of waiting, locked up, and went away for the evening. The next day, after running all night, the Super computer was still running. Finally, it spit out page after page after page of numbers and figures and symbols.
    After looking at it, somebody asked, β€œWhat is this? What does it mean?” Another answered,, β€œIts # formula.” Another said, β€œIts the formula, but we stilll don’t know what it means.” πŸ™‚
    β€œYardely, an accountant who has had sex reassignment surgery, was among those arguing on Twitter that transgender activists are setting back women’s rights and threatening their safety by allowing transgender women access to female-only institutions. Her position has long been that while gender is flexible, biological sex is a fact and should be respected.
    β€œIslan – who is the mother of a transgender child and works for Mermaids, a group that advocates for transgender youth – accused Yardley’s side of β€œspreading hysteria.”

    That’s a bummer about robot cars, there’ll be a lot of pushback until they are perfect. Merely being better than humans will not be enough.
    Perhaps the insurance agencies will spring to the rescue since they are able to hold the concept of a statistical outcome in their noggins.
    Personally, I respect Musk. You have to be something of a huckster to start a car company and a rocket company, typically both are ways to lose your shirt.
    The protracted death of the US space program has been a real shame, but hopefully one of these hobbyists can make money at the thing. You can argue that at this point, the US interest in space is purely basic research in propulsion and habitats plus military.
    So far as Tesla is concerned, my take is that unless they have a boatload of patents, they are doomed. The minute battery technology hits some sort of tipping point, Toyota and their other car building friends will wipe them out. Perhaps the hope is a buyout, although I expect that the stock price is unrealistically high for that.
