There are posts that were made for today. Then there are posts that were made for all-time. This one is neither. I don't know what it's for. I just don't care anymore.

□ [“WNBA Commissioner Engelbert Panics, Sends Memo Calling This Issue 'Complex and Nuanced'”]

Chicks, amiright?  Looking to make things way more complicated than they need to be.  Why is this the "Women's" NBA?  What medical basis was made when this organization was formed to determine who could or couldn't be on it?  It was founded in 1996, the starting players aren't much older than I am.  A lot of the people in charge over the last thirty years are still alive, just ask them.  Or were they all doing so many drugs that they just picked some random words that have been ignored ever since?

It sounds like this is becoming a big deal.  Makes sense, in sporting events you kind of need to move fast or you'll lose.  Even the *woke* commissioner probably understands that much.  They also need to start preparing for the next season and now they'll get a bunch of candidates who are just want to meet guys from the NBA.  You think the team lesbians want to compete with that?

At least one player has announced that she's totally fine competing against men.  Must not have been hired for her brains.  There will be a meeting this week, we'll see if any of the people in charge are any better.  They put themselves in this position and don't have any good defenses.  Well, other than acknowedging what a woman actual is but then they'd lose all the liberals who don't go to WNBA games anyway.  You can see how they're stuck.  Should just take "woman" off the league's name.

□ [“David Hogg Says Moderate Democrats Don’t Have the Right Values – Brags Up Zohran Mamdani"]

And this was why he was kicked out of the DNC after only a few months.  He just wants to burn the place down.  This is what the left has been aiming at, it's why they made him famous with a school shooting when he didn't even show up that day.  And of course he's young so you understand why Democrats-in-charge want that (wink wink) but it didn't work out, at least officially.

This is causing several problems for the near and not-to-distant future.  The DSA-type are hopefully driving away a lot of voters, that will hurt in the elections.  But they're also in place to take over the party altogether, so they'll be burning things down right away, meaning the party will have even bigger problems with management and operation for future elections.  It looks like it'd be a few years before they'd even be capable of rebuilding what they tore apart and they'd still need to attrack more voters.

□ [“Jill Biden Press Secretary Endorses 'Reasonable Republican' Mike Rogers Over Abdul El-Sayed"]

I'm going to stay pessimistic about the mid-terms until after they're over.  I also don't trust these Democrats who are speaking out against their psycho-leftist allies.  Furthermore, we have to worry how many people who actually vote "D" without fraud are just going to stay in line no matter what.  The leftism runs too deeply to have any confidence in a victory, no matter what it looks like at the moment.

That said, I've been going through my posts about the then-upcoming 2010 mid-terms and recall how obvious it was that Republicans would win big.  This is the same thing, to the nth degree.  The only real difference is that Republicans (and RINOs) are in charge of the executive and legislative branches.  For those who were watching in the Obama era, we're still seeing the same thing happen, this is what we're fighting.

□ [“3,000 University of California Professors Demand Return of SAT - Incoming Students Can't Do Basic Math"]

This illustrates the basic problem of leftism, how it always lowers the standards and proclaims this somehow makes things more "just."  I thought of that earlier today seeing an internet video mentioning that the youth of today were showing interest in older music, movies, etc.  This isn't a new observation, it's not remotely original, but back then even leftists had to recognize ability and quality.

We see that in works of fiction, interesting characters doing interesting things.  Maybe they aren't realistic but they have to be believable to the audience.  With music you needed actual talent, not just repeating sound over and over.  When was the last time we heard a brand-new song that's really catchy?  The use of technology has ruined almost everything people can bring to these mediums and that's not including the ability to write.

And then we see these professors complaining about math.  That's an example of leftist laziness, they always expect to have their cell phone with them so they don't need to learn anything.  But if you don't learn anything, you can't apply any skills to anything else.  Which leaves the leftist teachers more space to include the *woke* agenda, training children to be mindless slaves.

Nothing can be built that way and what has been built can't be maintained.  This is what generations of learning and education were supposed to do.  I always cite Laura Ingalls Wilder's account - I think it was Little Town on the Prairie - showing off what she'd learned to get a teaching certificate.  Just the questions included in the book are quite difficult and very few people would be capable of answering all of them today.  The effort required to learn so much developed the ability to think which could be applied in all the difficulties these frontier inhabitants faced every day.  And that's exactly what modern teachers want to destroy.
