[Powerline] A group of boys at Lakeridge High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon, showed state lawmakers exactly what they thought of HB 3294, the "Menstrual Dignity Act," legislation that passed in 2021.
They pulled the newly installed feminine hygiene dispenser off the boys room wall and threw it in a toilet, precisely where the unnecessary and offensive device belonged.
It's encouraging to see that boys will still be boys. We all need a little good news once in a while. Hat tip to powerlineblog.com, much more at the link.

Fuck Powerline blog, or at least Steve Hayward - that is all.

#1, I don't always agree with the folks at powerlineblog.com but often times I do as well as finding a lot of interesting information there. Their coverage of the George Floyd incident was far more enlightening than any other media outlet that I could find. It's a bit much to expect total agreement on every subject from everyone. I'm certainly not inclined toward any kind of sexual activity with them.

Portland might make the news ... but real Oregon is NOT Portland. You go guys!
[FoxNews] Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, R., is baffled why Democrats continue to push far-left cultural ideology such as allowing gender reassignment surgery for kids and insisting biological men should be able to compete against female athletes, but he’s determined to "protect" Mississippians if the federal government won’t do it.
"I've been known to say that the Democratic National Committee has moved so far to the left that I heard they were going to move their national headquarters to somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean," Reeves told Fox News Digital.
"That's how far left they've moved on so many issues. And this gender reassignment surgery is the latest push from the far left to change the makeup of America," Reeves continued. "It makes absolutely no sense to the average American and certainly doesn't make any sense to the average Mississippian."
Reeves, who is running for re-election, signed a law in 2021 that prohibits transgender athletes who identify as female from competing in girls' and women's sports. In March, he signed a law that prohibits medical professionals from conducting sex reassignment surgery, also called gender-affirming or confirming care, and from prescribing puberty blockers or hormone replacements to anyone in the state under 18 years of age. Reeves wasn’t finished, and recently signed bills designed to limited children’s access to sexually explicit material.
"Why on Earth is this so important to the far left that they want to literally mutilate our children? Why is it so important that they have the opportunity, and are pushing, for our children being able to see pornographic material? Why? What makes them think the way they think? It makes no sense to me at all as to why they're pushing these things," Reeves said. "We're going to defend our kids and protect them against this left-wing woke ideology that is beyond the pale of what most average Americans can even imagine."
Reeves is aware that Mississippi, which hasn’t had a Democrat governor since 2004, is seen as a deep-red state by much of the country. Many coastal elites from Democrat-run cities assume the Magnolia State doesn’t need to concern itself with transgender issues that are rampant in blue states, but Reeves feels he needs to be proactive in order to protect Mississippians.
"There's no doubt that there's probably less of this going on in the state of Mississippi than there is in some other states. But the fact of the matter is that there are clinics in Mississippi that prior to me signing legislation in the last several months that were looking at gender reassignment surgery on minors, they were looking at and offering pills and other things for kids," Reeves said.
"The D.C. elites and those in California, in New York, who always say, ‘Well, you really don't have to worry about this because you're in a red state,’ and that's never actually true because if it was allowed in large blue states, and then it moves to the purple states, and then it moves to states such as ours," Reeves continued. "And the most important thing that we can do is be proactive and do everything we can to protect our kids. And that's what I'm going to do as long as I'm governor of Mississippi."
The buried lede:
The Biden administration has unveiled its proposal for new Title IX rules to expand the meaning of sexual discrimination to include gender identity as it relates to the application for transgender athletes participating in women's sports. Under the Department of Education's proposed rule, no school or college that receives federal funding would be allowed to impose a "one-size-fits-all" policy that categorically bans transgender students from playing on sports teams consistent with their gender identity. Such policies would be considered a violation of Title IX. Reeves strongly opposes the Biden administration’s views on the topic.

Ask yourself why totalitarian dictatorships find it necessary to pour money and effort into propaganda for their own helpless, chained, gagged slaves, who have no means of protest or defense. The answer is that even the humblest peasant or the lowest savage would rise in blind rebellion, were he to realize that he is being immolated, not to some incomprehensible noble purpose, but to plain, naked human evil. —Ayn Rand

When I was a child, the world seemed so beautiful and sweet. Summers and holidays on my grandparent’s farm were wonderful. Cows, heifers, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits and much more. Riding on the tractor with grandpa through the fields, helping gramma make noodles and drying them on the back of a towel laden kitchen chair, feeding the chickens, collecting eggs, getting ready for the county fair, and weeding the garden, all part of a beautiful summer.
I drove the tractor while grandpa and my uncles put hay and straw bales on the wagon. I was paid a dime a load and by the end of summer, I had $5.00 to go to the county fair.

[BBC] Part neurologist, part philosopher, the 73-year-old Stefánsson has become ever more convinced that the complex cocktail of DNA we inherit from our parents, along with around 70 spontaneous genetic mutations which we acquire by chance, subconsciously dictates our behaviour to a far greater extent than we are aware.
We may not realise it, but it appears that many routine aspects of our daily lives might be partially driven by our genome. Subtle genetic tweaks in your taste receptors help to determine whether you prefer drinking coffee or tea. It turns out that coffee lovers are less sensitive to the bitterness of caffeine, while tea aficionados do not perceive other types of bitter chemicals quite so potently.

I remember once starting in on a tirade at one of my teenagers, and clearly heard my father's voice come out of my mouth.
I stopped, took a breath, and thought I could hear Daddy laughing in the distance. (He'd been in the ground 20 years at that point.)

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
