USA Boxing to Allow Men to Hit Women Under Certain Conditions
[Breitbart] USA Boxing, the governing body that oversees amateur and Olympic boxing in the United States, has decided to let trans fighters hit female fighters under certain regulatory conditions beginning in 2024.

The organization’s “Transgender Policy” stipulates that all fighters under 18 compete according to their birth gender. However, transgender fighters over the age of 18 will be allowed to compete in the gender category of their choice as long as they follow certain regulations.

“They must meet certain criteria, including declaring their new gender identity, completing gender reassignment surgery, and regular hormone testing,” the Daily Mail reports.

“Both male and female transgender athletes must have undergone quarterly hormone testing and provided US Boxing with documentation of their hormone levels for a minimum of four years following surgery.”

Furthermore, fighters who transition from male to female “must demonstrate that their total testosterone level in serum has been below 5 nmol/L for at least 48 months prior to her first competition.

“Their total testosterone level in serum must remain below 5 nmol/L throughout the period of desired eligibility to compete in the female category.”

Without a trace of irony, USA Boxing said on Friday, “The purpose of this policy is to provide fairness and safety for all boxers.”

#2  Even having done surgery and hormones, the men women will still be stronger, denser bones and have greater lung capacity and endurance.

Natural born women are gonna get hurt.

#3  Tonya could hold her own.

#4  It'll take a Duk Koo Kim moment to stop this insanity; these guys running USA Boxing just made it a distinct possibility.
Posted by: Raj || 01/01/2024 15:55 Comments || Top||

#5  Realistically, the stipulation is that the fighter has to be post-op. There are far fewer folks willing to undergo what Rush called a chopadickoffofme. This isn’t a “Lia” Thomas tuck swimsuit type situation. A post op dude is still liable to hurt or kill a woman in the ring, but I don’t expect to see more than a handful of trans boxers. The few that do go through the surgery will more likely be on the MMA track.

#1  It looks to me like this was taken out of context. I think he is arguing for government control of media to protect society from bad actors. I agree that he is describing the leftist strategy of flooding the public square with misinformation that he has participated in and championed, but I don’t think he is claiming victory. Obama is blaming right wing extremists for Biden’s failure to be popular and proposing information control by government as the solution.

Looks like he is fighting something medically.
Of course, it could just be he is overworked from running the Biden Regime.

#6  Sorry. I'll have to pass on watching this. Baraq is such as asshole that I just can't stand looking at pictures of him or, even worse, listening to the sound of his voice. Besides, I already know that he's full of shit so whatever he says will be shit. I don't need to hear it.

#7  Period pants

I do not understand this. The entire paraphernalia of female products was invented so that we would be freed from fussing with the mess of the reusables women had been dealing with since the stone age. This is exactly as stupid and unhygienic as cloth diapers for babies.

Report: Joe Biden Spent 37% of 2023 Enjoying a Getaway Spot
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden escaped the confines of the White House and the travails of high office for a host of other diversions in 2023, spending more than a third of the past year ensconced at a getaway spot, a report Monday details.

According to the New York Post, peripatetic Biden could be found on his absences from Washington, DC, at either one of his Delaware residences, a posh vacation site or Camp David, according to a review of public records by the outlet.

The octogenarian was away at one of the relaxing locations or famous retreat 138 days in 2023 — or 37 percent of the time. The Post report goes on:

He spent 22 days, including travel time, on official vacation in all in 2023. That time was enjoyed at either his Delaware homes or in St. Croix, Lake Tahoe or Nantucket.

He also was at Camp David 26 days, not including the two days he was prepping and getting ready for a trilateral summit.

Biden’s number of getaway days in 2023 was only slightly down from 2022, when he spent more than 38% of that year at the same locations.

#1  He will mostly be on the road or on vacation getting meds and rest for the next several months until he taps out. Maybe he can Zoom in to the situation room while Kamala handles the Houthi crisis.

Trump Wants New and Spectacular FBI Building in DC
[Twitter] The FBI Headquarters should not be moved to a far away location, but should stay right where it is, in a new and spectacular building, in the best location in our now crime ridden and filthy dirty, graffiti scarred, Capital. They should be involved in bringing back D.C., not running away from it, especially the violent crime. An important part of my platform for President is to bring back, restore, and rebuild Washington, D.C., into the "crown jewel" of our Nation. We will make it crime free and GREAT AGAIN. The FBI should not be fleeing for safer, yet much less convenient, environs. It should make where they are now the safest place on earth! DON’T MOVE THE FBI!

#3  I like it. Force the FBI to work in a building he constructs just for them. Lots of fun to be had there.

#4  Just convert an old DC McDonalds into the new fbi headquarters; it would be size and clown appropriate.
Posted by: Airandee || 01/01/2024 8:12 Comments || Top||

#5  Build 'em a skyscraper near a metro station with no parking. Put the SWAT team on the 10th floor.
(You know what happens when businesses get a big building. Because most organizations function in spite of management, not with it.)
Posted by: ed in texas || 01/01/2024 9:24 Comments || Top||

#6  Make it round so there are no corner offices.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 01/01/2024 10:24 Comments || Top||

#7  Well the building is big enough for current staff. Looks like we'll have to get rid of 9 out of 10 upper level folks. And anyone connected to the anti-American plots and plans against me will give up their pension to help pay for the new building.
Posted by: Ruprecht || 01/01/2024 10:35 Comments || Top||

#8  Lots of fun to be had there.

Unisex/no urinal/no door bathrooms...open locker rooms/showers. Foldout couches/daybeds.

#9  Any new FBI building main entrance foyer should include a 12 foot tall bronze of FBI Agent Lon Horiuchi, just as a daily reminder to these foks.

#10  no more FBI.
Posted by: irish rage boy || 01/01/2024 12:58 Comments || Top||

#11  Surely there is a dank, old windowless warehouse somewhere with lots of bad smells and cancerous chemical residue. Remove the AC and parking lot for enhanced virtue signalling. Require masks and daily vaccines.
