Disqualified Lia Thomas Asks If He Can Still Just Hang Out Naked In The Olympic Women's Locker Rooms
[Babylon Bee] STATE COLLEGE, PA — After the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) made a shocking ruling on Thursday that Lia Thomas, a man, would not be allowed to compete on the U.S. women's Olympic team, Thomas requested further clarification on whether he might be allowed to still just hang out naked in the women's locker room on occasion or something like that.

"That's fine if I can't compete, but can I, maybe, I dunno, just hang out naked in the women's locker room?" said Thomas to the committee, according to sources. "I can, you know, help with the swimming gear and towels and whatnot. And I'd be naked while I'm doing it. No big deal."

"That shouldn't be too much to ask for a brave trans pioneer like me."

Thomas's request to lurk in the locker room invoked the spirit of Pride Month, saying all he wants is the right to creep out women while at the same time indulging in his own gross fetish even if he won't be allowed to humiliate those women in competitive sports.

At publishing time, Planet Fitness and 24 Hour Fitness had both reached out to tell him he's welcome to hang out naked in their women's locker rooms any time.
Lookiing at that photo, I have to ask: given he put up with the pain to have his chest — and presumably the rest of his body — waxed, why did he not wax his facial hair as well? It’s not that much more of a committment.

BB humor or likely ?

These mentally ill perverted POS agenda types has and will continue to cost the LSD's many votes.

The DNC as it is today is dead in the America.

Given, there are more practicing Christians, Jews and Muslims, than Liberals, atheist, evil or agnostics.

The Grand Turk
The Ottoman Janissaries are ready

… formed from members of the notorious "Hamza Division," led by Saif Abu Bakr.

Who is Saif al-Din Bolad, nicknamed "Abu Bakr"?

A Syrian Turkmen, he fled to Turkey in 2015 and participated in founding armed opposition factions. He gained notoriety after joining the Turkish "Operation Euphrates Shield."

Reports indicate he worked as an agent for Turkish intelligence within the "ISIS" organization.

He has strong ties with the leader of the Turkish Nationalist Movement Party, Devlet Bahçeli, and has appeared with him in shared photos.

Turkey continues to build its proxies inside Syria, recycling militias under new names to serve its interests in the north of the country.

Pro-Life Leaders Respond After Passage of ‘Big Beautiful Bill' Defunding Planned Parenthood for a Year
[OregonRightToLife] The Republican-led U.S. Congress passed the "Big Beautiful Bill" in a 218-214 vote Thursday, officially approving a provision cutting federal taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood for a year. The move is anticipated to cause the shuttering of hundreds of abortion facilities nationwide.

...The bill had undergone numerous revisions in both chambers of Congress prior to its Thursday passage. Significantly, an earlier provision to strip taxpayer dollars from Planned Parenthood for a decade was reduced to a single year in the Senate shortly before its final passage. Despite the changes, the surviving version of the bill will still temporarily cut funding to the abortion giant.

Planned Parenthood Action Fund recently estimated that the federal defunding of Planned Parenthood could trigger the closure of almost 200 Planned Parenthood abortion facilities in 24 states nationwide.

Pro-life advocates have responded enthusiastically to the bill's passage.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
AAR: Scorecard Israel
[Townhall] Below are data provided by the IDF on Operation Rising Lion through the first round of fighting:

Attacks:
1,500 Air Force sorties and 600 aerial refuelings

1,400 fighter jet strikes and 500 drone strikes

The furthest attack - in Mashhad at a distance of 2,400 km by a fighter jet

Eliminations:
11 senior nuclear scientists

More than 30 senior officials in Iran's security system

Hundreds of soldiers of the Iranian military forces

Nuclear:
3 nuclear sites were attacked: Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow.

Thousands of centrifuges (for uranium enrichment) were destroyed

Nuclear research and development centers were destroyed

Military infrastructure and weapons:
15 enemy aircraft were destroyed

80 surface-to-air launchers (air defense systems) were destroyed

200 missile launchers were destroyed (50% of all Iranian launchers were destroyed)

35 missile production plants were attacked

6 airports were attacked

Intercepts:
86% success in intercepting ballistic missiles (hundreds launched)

99% success in intercepting UAVs (thousands launched)

*SENIOR MOMENT
One needs to recall that the planes involved in the attacks are old. For example:

F-15 introduced in 1976

F-16 introduced in 1978

F-35 introduced in 2015

Tanker KC-35 introduced in 1957

For the Americans:
B-2 introduced in 1993

F-22 introduced in 2005

Israel added repurposed 767s as tankers in addition to C-130s. While the "I" version of F-15s (1998) and F-16s (2004) are newer, the planes are still based on old airframes. It is an incredible tribute to the designers and manufacturers of all of the planes above that they performed so well under difficult circumstances. Kudos must also be given to the ground crews that quickly and successfully turned around planes to get them fueled, loaded with bombs and back on their way. The B-2 waited over 30 years for this mission—the exact one for which it was invented. Drones obviously played a huge role in the attack, with their importance only growing in all major air forces.
