The Oceangate Titan
may have been destroyed but already the media is being castigated for attention
on the event while a ship carrying 750 migrants off the coast of Greece has
sunk with few picked up out of the water and reports are swirling that the Titan
was not safe and Oceangate’ s CEO Stockton Rush failed to disclose that
fact. In the Ukraine War it looks like Putin is now engaged in a two front
against the Ukrainians to the West who have commenced their counter offensive
to regain lost territory and behind the Russian front lines the Russian
Mercenary Forces called the Wagner Group who are outraged that their
headquarters have been attacked by drones and their soldiers led to being
slaughtered. On the Earth wears a bullseye front, Asteroid 2023MU2 13-29 feet
in diameter discovered just last week will pass within 134,000 miles of Earth
this Sunday. More and more it looks like the FBI and DOJ “investigation” of
Hunter Biden is a sham as the DOJ allegedly warned the FBI not to interview any
of the Biden Grandchildren who were indirect recipients of some of the $5.1 million
wired from China in response to Hunter’s Joe Biden will make your life
miserable threats. Billionaire Jay Bloom must be thanking his guardian angel
who whispered in his ear that going on the Titan that imploded on the
way down “a lack of safety you should fear” to cause him along with his son’s
concerns to ignore Rush’s claim the ship was safer that a helicopter as he
offered a $100,000 discount only to have the trip offer turned down. On the
growing Hunter Biden scandal that looks like more and more each day it will
drag in the “Big Guy” it looks like the White House Press Corp is starting to
ape journalists and refusing to accept the evasive platitudes of Karine
Jean-Pierre.

Famous Quotes on Transgenders
Participating in Women’s Sports:
Megan Rapinoe, noted U.S.
National Women’s Soccer Team Star: “I’m 100% supportive of trans inclusion.
People do not know very much about it. We’re missing almost everything.
Frankly, I think what a lot of people know is versions of the right’s talking
points because they’re very loud. They’re very consistent, and they’re
relentless. Show me the evidence that trans women are taking everyone’s
scholarships, are dominating in every sport, are winning every title. I’m
sorry, it’s just not happening. So we need to start from inclusion, period. And
as things arise, I have confidence that we can figure it out. But we can’t
start at the opposite. That is cruel. And frankly, it’s just disgusting.”
Samantha Ponder, noted ESPN Sports
Reporter: “This [Biden’s proposed Title IX Amendment on transgender
participation in women’s sports] 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.”
Portion of Letter Signed by
Riley Gaines and 99 Other Women Athletes Protesting Biden’s Proposed Title IX Amendment on
Transgender Inclusion in Women’s Sports: “It is well known that male athletes dominate in sports where
strength, size, or speed are relevant factors. That is because,
physiologically, the average male is stronger, bigger, and faster than the
average female.
Forcing female athletes to
compete against males is not only unfair, it’s discriminatory. Allowing
biological males to take awards, roster spots, scholarships, or educational
opportunities away from female athletes violates Title IX’s prohibition of discrimination
“on the basis of sex.”
