Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was reportedly assaulted during an attempt to speak at San Francisco State University. The attack followed another successful effort to shout down a speaker with opposing views on a campus. Gaines was rushed from the event and kept in a secure room for nearly three hours, according to her account on Twitter.
The former University of Kentucky (and All-American) swimmer was at the university to discuss her views on why women sports should be reserved to those who are biologically women. She believes that the effort to allow transgender athletes to compete is destroying the progress made in female sports since the start of Title IX. Like the author J.K. Rowling, Gaines has found herself under constant threat and attacked as a Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF).
On Twitter, Gaines objected that “[t]he prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU…I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man. This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces. Still only further assures me I’m doing something right. When they want you silent, speak louder.”
She videotaped herself being rushed by police officers to a safe location. Her husband, Louis Barker, is quoted as saying:
“She told me she was hit multiple times by a guy in a dress. I was shaking. It made me that mad. It makes me sick to feel so helpless about it. She was under police protection and was still hit by a man wearing a dress.”
The incident is all too familiar today. These activists have every right to protest. These are issues that go to the core identity of people on both sides. However, protesters do not have a right to disrupt a class or speech.
What is notable about this incident is that it appears that the shout down occurred just outside of the room. We have seen this tactic before. Indeed, at George Washington, I once debated law professor John Yoo, who is one of the authors of the controversial “torture memos” during the Bush Administration. We had disrupters opposed to Yoo in the debate who were removed. However, we had a large number of protesters who shouted down Yoo from just outside of the room and made it difficult for many to hear him. To its credit, the law school went outside and asked the protesters to move away from the windows and give some distance from the event. It was done without incident and the event continued.
That was clearly not done here. The university has to guarantee the safety of speakers as well as their ability to be heard. The protesters should not have been allowed to shout down the speaker from the hallway outside of the room in my view.
The Golden Gate Xpress, the school’s student-run newspaper, showed videotapes of how the protest grew in size and eventually became so large that the police removed Gaines for her own protection. A speaker should never have to fear for her physical safety in discussing contemporary issues on a campus.
There is no indication of an arrest in the case, which is also curious. If Gaines was struck, it occurred while she was being escorted by officers.
As for the successful canceling of the event, there remains the question of how the university will respond and whether it will hold any groups or individuals responsible for the disruption of this event. Equally important is the university addressing questions over its own actions before the cancelling of this event.

“Few details in SF stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee”
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Details of how tech executive Bob Lee came to be fatally stabbed in downtown San Francisco early Tuesday were scarce as friends and family continued to mourn the man they called brilliant, kind and unlike others in the industry.
San Francisco police found Lee, 43, on the sidewalk in front of a condominium building with stab wounds shortly after 2:35 a.m. Tuesday. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. He leaves behind two children.

Look, these trannys are literally mentally disturbed. Wringing our hands and clutching our pearls about the impropriety of it all does nothing since the Leftists have signaled their unlawful violence is so “understandable.” So the only solution is state-provided overwhelming armed security authorized to act. We spend $100 billion to provide security for people in a country whose only worth to us is a piggie bank for the Bidens. Now, maybe we can a few million to protect American heroes like Gaines. And godforbid we put security in schools like we do in courthouses, banks and legislatures. Shows our warped priorities don’t it?

Mespo, boys will be boys. What the hell am I saying?
Couple guys did the math recently, for the $100 Billion sent to Ukraine so far it would put 2 full time armed security in every school in to US.
All this Tranny Mental Retardation is just more of the harm coming from the US’s vaccine programs that are now being phased into US/foreign meat & other food products!!
Just like with the Neurotoxin Sodium Fluoride Rat Poison (as opposed to the needed Calcium Fluoride) in much of the US’s water supply, how much of the supposedly Medical Treatment of repeated doses of mRNA in the food/meat is a big enough Treatment?
Among other things many people & I like about these new media outlets like Infowars/Banned.Video/ The Gateway Pundit & others is they bring forward to the public that Govt/Corporations are using the old media to hide from us.
Recently we find out from a lawsuit against the EPA that the Tranny Rear Admiral Freak Rachael Levin head of HHS was hiding a multiple study of years of reports on the physical/mental damage from the Toxic Waste Sodium Fluoride. being put in the water. ie: IQs dropped 10-20% just from that, not counting this mRAN crap & damage to hormones in the (Gay) Frogs, for real;), & Humans, also causing Infertility.

Bonfire of the insanities. Keep it coming. This only ends one way – with the total destruction of the Democrat party. Which I will celebrate. Because normal Democrats, who became Democrats in college because it was “cool,” aren’t on board with this nonsense any more than the rest of us are. They’re just afraid to say so. But when it’s their kid who loses a sports scholarship to a man in a skirt, then that’s different. The fact that black girls lose scholarships to white males doesn’t bother the people with the BLM sign in their yards. They use the word “racism” as a weapon but they don’t really understand, or care about, what it looks like in real life. It looks like this.
This is probably a good time to remind everyone what that great constitutional scholar and future American President had to say about the security of rights:
Generally, the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties, says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the federal government can’t do to you. But it doesn’t say what the state or federal government must do on your behalf.
Isn’t this what we’re seeing today? We are living out Obama’s philosophical purpose for government. It’s so old timey to think they exist to provide us a better security of rights. We, the ungrateful masses, apparently don’t deserve it. And to prove their point, the beatings will continue until morale improves. Things have not gotten bad enough yet. We’re close, but the real question is what will we do when we get there?
A famous quote by Franz Kafka is apropos “it’s only because of their stupidity that they’re able to be so sure of themselves”.
God help the United States of America we are being overrun by fools and charlatans! I’ll educated the bunch, rude know it all’s blinded by their own deceit.

“Crazy Abe” threw the baby out with the bathwater – he threw out the Constitution and American freedom with reprehensible slavery, which must have been ended legally, the abductees appropriately returned home.
Everything “Crazy Abe” did was and remains illicit, unconstitutional and illegitimate. Secession may not have been denied (Confederate States would have failed and reunited of necessity). Reprehensible slavery must have been concluded through legal means, and persons prohibited by law compassionately repatriated. Lincoln had no power to commence any war including an unconstitutional war of aggression against States availing themselves of fully constitutional secession. The Supreme Court was required to act in Judicial Review and preclude the illicit and unconstitutional acts of the executive branch and Lincoln. Lincoln and his successors had no power, other than that of illegal kinetic force, to amend the Constitution with America held hostage, under duress and brutal military oppression and tyranny (Chief Justice Taney told Lincoln that he, Lincoln, was acting illegally and unconstitutionally).

Trans ideology is irreconcilable with women’s rights, and indeed with civilization itself. Those who embrace trans ideology are reality deniers.
It’s curious only a few women’s-rights supporters like J.K. Rowling recognize this. Where are the feminist groups? Perhaps they sold their soul by siding with Bill Clinton in his taking advantage of women and, having sold their soul, they no longer recognize actual threats to women’s rights and are dazed and confused by this whole reality-denying trans thing.
Feminists have sold their souls to Progressivism.
So-called Feminists are siding with the Democrat party’s war on women.

“The Tribune covered the failed 1848 democratic uprisings in Germany, France, Hungary, Denmark and other European nations. In Paris, Dana reported, “Everyone now is more or less a Socialist.” Dana met Karl Marx who would end up writing over 500 articles for the Tribune on a wide variety of topics. Later Dana was hired by Lincoln to be the Assistant Secretary of War.”

“Where are the feminist groups?”
While some feminists are speaking out, in the main they are stuck in an irreconcilable contradiction. They fueled this inflation of “rights” based on supposed “oppression.” What are they going to say now when some new group claims: We wish to inflate, too. And we’re more oppressed than you are.
An irrational premise, left unchecked, spreads and infects everything.
Too bad her former competitor, “Lia” wasn’t there to protect her. Girl looks like he can throw down with the best of them.
Female athletes should have refused to compete; they should have left the freaks all alone in the pool – because it is right, because it is correct, and because it is the truth.
Dear Prof Turley,
Hell hath no fury like a TERF-scorned ‘guy in a dress’ in San Francisco. Only in America.
Is there a ‘link’ to your debate with John Yoo on ‘torture’? You know, we hung people for that after WWII, and I had thought it was a matter of settled law.

DEI Captures the University of Florida
Left-wing bureaucrats have embedded indentitarian radicalism into virtually every department on campus.
“The University of Florida has created a radical diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) bureaucracy that promotes racial and political preferences in faculty hiring, encourages white employees to engage with a twelve-step program called Racists Anonymous, and maintains racially segregated scholarship programs that violate federal civil rights law.
I have obtained a cache of internal documents via Sunshine Law records requests revealing the stunning scope, scale, and radicalism of UF’s “diversity and inclusion” programs….”

Wow.
She could sue the university under title IX violations.
The globablists’ have successfully utilized the Red vs Blue, East vs West, Vaxxed vs Unvaxxed, Boy vs Girl dichotomies to exploit our innate tribal nature, and in doing so are dividing and conquering us. This ‘us-vs-them’ separation makes us easy to control and direct with simple angry thoughts about “the enemy” who isn’t really our enemy – while blinding us to the actual enemy behind the curtain pulling the puppet strings. If we could collectively recognize this for what it is the NWO wouldn’t stand a chance.

She is wrong. All public spaces should be sex-protected, and we should jail the violators. Society is not supposed to put up with nonsense.
From a different and slightly sarcastic point of view, I can’t wait until some 7’2″ really skilled male basketball player declares as a woman and proceeds to completely dominate the WNBA — as in 70 points and 30 rebounds per game. The reaction will be glorious, and I think it may take something like that to change the narrative.
Did you see the story of the Canadian male power lifter who entered a women’s competition and beat the trans persons record by 100 pounds? If a trans athlete wants to prove something, compete with the men. Then you would have accomplished something.
Or a (barely)professional male golfer who is tired of staying at Motel 6’s and eating at BK while he struggles to make the cut ever weekend. Declare himself a herself and cha ching $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

A 7 2 really skilled basketball player could score 150 and foul out every single player guarding him. Any serious high school basketball team would run any WNBA team out of the gym. It’s just unfair. When men can have babies, then we can have men competing with women. So it’s no diss on the WNBA players.
