I'm watching the bit with the WNBA and Caitlin Clark.
I've come to a conclusion that I suspect will cause some friction. That conclusion is that the WNBA tends to favor black lesbians, and clearly Clark isn't one of the club.
Yeah, OK, I know, I know. I hear the flamethrowers warming up already.
But, let’s look at the people directly involved with this mess. We'll start with Cathy Engelbert, the WNBA commissioner. She’s white, and has what has become in recent years an alarmingly conventional corporate background at Deloitte.
In her very first WNBA conference call as commissioner, Engelbert was asked specifically about diversity. Her answer was unequivocal. She described diversity and inclusion as a major part of her work at Deloitte and said she wanted to bring that "lens" to the WNBA. ... Engelbert choosing to lead with that language, unprompted, in her very first press conference as commissioner, is a real signal about what she considers core to the job.
...
Sheila Johnson, for another example, is a black woman and co-owner of the Washington Mystics. She, along with her ex-husband, formed BET back in 1980, which ended up getting sold to Viacom for around $3 billion. ... Forbes currently estimates her wealth at about $1.2 billion. When Johnson bought into the Mystics in 2005, she was quite explicit about the demographic imbalance she saw in professional sports.
At the time, she said that black people made up roughly 70–80% of the players but only about 5–10% of decision-makers, and she specifically said she wanted her ownership position to open doors for other black women in sports leadership. That is significant, because it establishes that racial representation in the WNBA's institutional leadership wasn't an accidental byproduct. It was something Johnson said she consciously wanted to change, and we certainly have no cause to doubt her statement.
While those goals expressed by both Engelbert and Johnson cannot be argued with on the surface, it seems that the WNBA has rather obviously developed an institutional culture in which race, sexuality, and progressive political identity have become sufficiently intertwined that a player who doesn't fit that cultural template, such as the shockingly white, female, traditional Catholic with strong family ties Caitlin Clark, can be targeted. ... She can be treated as an outsider and even an enemy with some impunity—despite, in reality, being the single most commercially valuable player in the league.
...
So we can say with reasonable confidence: roughly one-quarter to one-third of the WNBA's players are publicly out LGBTQ, depending on methodology.
...
The AP reported in July that the Clark controversy had brought race, gender and sexuality to the forefront of discussion about the WNBA, while players themselves were expressing frustration with league leadership, apparently disagreeing with Caitlin Clark's life choices. That disapproval extends to the basketball court, as you see here:
And here’s where Engelbert has to play both sides. She needs Clark on that court, being the league's biggest draw, bar none. Observing from the sidelines, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has suggested recently:QuoteThe player who may be doing more than anyone else to bring mainstream America into the WNBA is also a player who doesn't necessarily conform to the cultural identity of the institution she's helping to enrich....
I offer the thinking that nobody's coming to WNBA games to support a political ideology. They're coming to watch people who can play basketball. Clark seemingly is the one best able to do that. And the ones better equipped to play ideological games than they are basketball are objecting, and even attacking the ones with genuine ability in the actual game.
So here's where the league that built its entire modern identity around inclusion, self-definition, and progressive vocabulary finds itself: unable to answer the single most basic question its own rulebook depends on. What, precisely, is a woman? Cunningham forced the question. Kanter and White just made it impossible to keep dodging that question. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark continues to suffer physical abuse on the court.
The TEACHER OF THE YEAR in Nashville TM just walked away from her career B says the district ORDERED HER TO FABRICATE GRADES.
She refused. So they went into the system and CHANGED IT THEMSELVES.
According to the teacher, a student didn’t finish a project. Hardcastle (the teacher) gave the grade the student earned.
Then a parent came in and SAT IN THE OFFICE FOR HOURS until that grade changed.
Three administrators huddled up and decided the AWARD-WINNING TEACHER was the problem.
It turns out that a controversial University of Chicago professor arrested last year for alleged felony aggravated battery on a police officer is the sister of Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for a U.S. Senate seat in Michigan.
Eman Abdelhadi, an assistant professor focused on religion, gender, identity, and demography, is El-Sayed’s maternal half-sister, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
“A self-described ‘Queer Muslim’ and ‘community organizer’ who uses the pronouns ‘she/they,’ she has been at the center of far-left protests on campus,” the Beacon reported.
Abdelhadi, a signatory to an open letter pledging “solidarity” with the “Palestinian resistance” shortly after the October 7, 2023 slaughter of over a thousand Israelis by Hamas, she has been the focus of several College Fix reports over the last year.
In October, due to her aggressive actions at an anti-ICE protest, Abdelhadi was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated battery, a felony, and two counts of obstructing the peace, a misdemeanor, according to information from the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.
Texas state representative and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s campaign responded after a resurfaced video of his comments on the Bible and education sparked outrage.
A clip resurfaced this week of Talarico, a Christian seminarian, speaking in a video hosted by the Center for American Progress Action Fund in 2025. In the clip, the host asked Talarico about his legislative battles with “Christian Nationalists,” meaning people who consider America to be an inherently Christian nation.
The portion that went viral recently when Talarico blasted the “most insidious” legislation he fought to stop while serving in Texas government, claiming one bill required schools in the state to teach Bible stories as historical fact. He argued that this amounted to pushing “propaganda” on children and was not just bad for state schools, but for society overall.
“It was a new state curriculum that would teach Christian Bible stories as historical fact, as the only truth to our youngest students, and I mean kindergarten, first graders,” he said. “These are kids who aren’t able to think for themselves yet. They haven’t formed their own worldviews.”
He further warned that the alleged effort to “push propaganda, to push indoctrination on those youngest students is deeply immoral and should trouble all of us.”
and don't much care.At least five people have been shot and wounded, with one in critical condition, after a mass shooting took place at Virginia State University. Police have been actively searching for multiple suspects.
The shooting took place near the Quad Annexes of the Chesterfield County campus at around 1:30 am when multiple gunmen are believed to have fired their weapons. Five people were taken to local hospitals with gunshot wounds, one being in critical condition, according to the Chesterfield County Police.
"Officers responded to the 3300 block of Boisseau Street at approximately 1:28 a.m. and discovered five individuals suffering from gunshot wounds outside VSU residence halls," a spokesperson for the university told Fox News. "All five were transported to area hospitals. One individual is currently in critical condition. The remaining four sustained non-life-threatening injuries."
...
The shooting took place the same day that the resident halls were opening back up for returning students on Friday for the summer 2026 term. Classes for the semester will start on Monday.

POLITICO: 'Open Secret' That New Jersey's Illegal Voter Registration Is Much Larger Than Reported
https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/08/03/politico-open-secret-that-new-jerseys-illegal-voter-registration-is-much-larger-than-reported-n3817582
Registering was the default, and even those who checked "No" were registered. There could be hundreds of thousands of non-citizens on NJ's voter rolls, and Sherrill, et al, are trying to obstruct investigation.
HOW MANY OTHER STATES?!
