Robert Lynch on an “…anti-science movement that has enveloped nearly all the social sciences and distorted public understanding of basic biology…”

From Sex To Gender: The Modern Dismissal of Biology

“…Male and female are not capricious categories imposed by scientists on the natural world, but rather refer to fundamental distinctions deeply rooted in evolution…

and

…The assertion that male and female are arbitrary classifications is false on every level. Not only does it confuse primary sexual characteristics6 (i.e., the reproductive organs) which are unambiguously male or female at birth 99.8 percent of the time with secondary sexual characteristics7 (e.g., more hair on the faces of men or larger breasts in women), it ignores the very definition of biological sex — men produce many small sex cells termed sperm while women produce fewer large sex cells termed eggs. Although much is sometimes made of the fact that sex differences in body size, hormonal profiles, behavior, and lots of other traits vary across species, that these differences are minimal or non-existent in some species, or that a small percentage of individuals, due to disorders of development, possess an anomalous mix of female and male traits,8 that does not undermine this basic distinction. There is no third sex. Sex is, by definition, binary…”

The age of stupid is transmogrifying before our eyes into the age of the absurd…

Biden Admin Concedes It’s Unfair To Let Men Compete In Women’s Sports With New Rules Allowing Men In Women’s Sports

“…Biden administration is trying to have it both ways on transgender participation in women’s sports with new Title IX rules introduced Thursday. The White House aims to put the burden on schools with rules rooted in biology to prove their case on male athlete bans from female leagues while theoretically allowing them to maintain such rules, giving the president a talking point 18 months from an election.

Under the long-anticipated proposal, the Department of Education outlined new guidelines that would invalidate bans on men in women’s sports currently implemented across 20 states. At the same time, schools that receive federal funding and therefore subject to Title IX stipulations may bar male athletes on female teams in competitive leagues…”

Is liberalism a mental disorder?

Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band Guitarist Steven Van Zandt Deletes Call to ‘Exterminate’ GOP ‘Cockroaches’

Many of the left have gone bonkers. If you disagree with them it’s because you’re a white supremacist, a run-of-the-mill racist, a homophobe, or you hate trans people.

I think Trump broke a lot of people that were teetering on the edge of sanity.

Democrats can ignore court orders they disagree with…

Democrats for Defying Court Orders

“…Ron Wyden and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorse law-breaking over an abortion drug.

One depressing sign of the political times is that partisans on the left and right are willing to trash political norms and institutions to get their way. The latest example comes from Democrats urging the Biden Administration to ignore last week’s federal court order concerning the abortion drug mifepristone.

In an editorial nearby, we explain our doubts about Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s ruling. His national injunction is also excessive before the merits are even considered. But the judge delayed the enforcement of his order for a week to give the Biden Administration time to appeal. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will weigh in on the national injunction and the legal merits of the case.

But this regular legal process isn’t enough for many Democrats, who are demanding that a federal agency ignore a legal court order they don’t like…”

Some students underperforming? Segregate them according to skin color. The new fashion for liberal educators in Atlanta.

Segregation forever? Atlanta separates blacks from whites in ‘academic recovery’ summer program

“…Department of Education waited more than a year to open civil rights investigation after parents shared recordings of officials admitting to segregating black students…”

This will work, too. As long as you lower standards for the underperforming group.

We live in the age of stupid.

Democrats then. Democrats now.

In a free and open society we would have a robust public debate on the response to Covid. What we have is censorship of views not acceptable to the government.

Switzerland Stops Recommending COVID-19 Vaccination

“…Swiss authorities have stopped recommending COVID-19 vaccination, including for people who are designated at high risk from COVID-19.

Switzerland’s Federal Office of Public Health now says that “no COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for spring/summer 2023.”

People designated high risk are also not recommended to get a COVID-19 vaccine, authorities said.

They attributed the change to the number of citizens who have received a vaccine, recovered from COVID-19, or both received a vaccine and enjoy natural immunity from post-recovery protection.

“Nearly everyone in Switzerland has been vaccinated and/or contracted and recovered from COVID-19. Their immune system has therefore been exposed to the coronavirus. In spring/summer 2023, the virus will likely circulate less. The current virus variants also cause rather mild illness,” Swiss health officials said.

Seroprevalence data from mid-2022 showed that more than 98 percent of the Swiss population had antibodies against the COVID-19 virus, indicating that people had immunity from prior infection, vaccination, or both…”

The effects of Democrat policies and the lies they concoct to cover them up…

California’s Attacks on Big Oil Will Only Drive More People Out of the State

“…California does indeed have the highest gasoline prices in the nation. Those prices have fallen quite a bit in recent months to $4.82 a gallon. That’s still $1.38 a gallon higher than the national average—and $1.70 a gallon higher than in Texas. Oil companies are national operations, so a normal person might wonder why those companies are so much greedier in California than they are elsewhere.

The answer isn’t hard to find. For starters, California has the highest gas taxes in the nation. (We also get the least bang for our buck given the state of our freeways, but that’s a separate issue.) Those higher taxes instantly make our gasoline 48 cents a gallon higher than in Texas. There’s still a pricing gap, but despite officials’ blathering about a “mystery gas surcharge” here in California, it’s not a mystery at all.

“California’s tough environmental rules mandate that gasoline sold within the state be produced according to strict formulas that reduce pollution,” per a Los Angeles Times analysis. “But the gas is more expensive and difficult to produce than dirtier fuel sold elsewhere. Few refineries outside the state are equipped to produce it.” The report adds the number of California refineries is plummeting and our state has no interstate pipelines, thus forcing us to rely on costlier forms of transportation…”

Matt Taibbi eviscerates the garbage at MSNBC. Destroys them.

Eat Me, MSNBC

The piece is too long to summarize here. I recommend clicking over for a liberal journalist’s detailed take down of the fakery and Trump obsession from the usual suspects.

I estimate that I disagree with Taibbi on many issues. I respect real journalism and truth telling without regard to which side gets hurt and without regard to the politics of the journalist, assuming personal politics do not color the reporting.

There are few real journalists left. Taibbi is one of them. As is Glenn Greenwald.
