"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

A Man for all seasons

Remember the Olympics and that boxing match between the young woman from Italy and someone who looked like a man from where ever he was from? The young woman walked away in tears.
It turns out that he was really a he. Let’s get the details:
A shocking new development has emerged in the case of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif after a French journalist reportedly gained access to a damning medical report revealing Khelif has “testicles.” The news comes months after Khelif seized a gold medal in women’s boxing at the Paris Olympics.
The report was drafted in June of 2023 via a collaboration between the Kremlin-BicĂȘtre hospital in Paris, France, and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine hospital in Algiers, Algeria. Drafted by expert endocrinologists Soumaya Fedala and Jacques Young, the report reveals that Khelif is impacted by 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a disorder of sexual development that is only found in biological males.
Okay. Let me confess that I don’t know anything about alpha reductase deficiency. That sounds like the reason that I only took basic biology in school. I got my requirement out of the way and signed up for a history or political science class.
All I know about men and women is that they are different and it’s very easy to tell the difference. Furthermore, boys are bigger and stronger and girls are smaller. Just go to a high school football game and check out the quarterback and the head cheerleader. I don’t need any biology expert to tell which one is a guy or gal.
Of course, the scandal here is that such a match was allowed in the first place. This is what happens when woke runs the show and a young woman is threatened by it.
Here is the scandal. Someone in the Olympics decided that the narrative was better than having a real woman win a medal. That is a disgrace and maybe there is someone in the media who wants to take it further. Of course, I am assuming that there is someone in the media who wants to write about something that isn’t Trump this or Trump that.
At the very least, a future President Trump should challenge the people running the Olympics and demand a correction.

We remember Glenn Frey (1948-2016)
We remember Glenn Frey who was born in Michigan on this day in 1948.
Back in the 1970's, The Eagles were one of the most successful recording acts in the world. Later, Frey was a solo artist but I loved his work with The Eagles a lot more.
We got some bad news in January 2016: Glenn Frey, one of the founders and principals of The Eagles, passed away. He was 67.
One of my favorite songs was "A new kid in town", a # 1 song the LP "Hotel California".

1860: Abraham Lincoln became president
Lincoln got only 40% of the popular vote but defeated Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge, Constitutional Union candidate John Bell, and Northern Democrat Stephen Douglas, a U.S. senator for Illinois.
The election did not settle any of the differences. By inauguration date on March 4, 1861, seven states had seceded, and the Confederate States of America had been formally established, with Jefferson Davis as its elected president.
One month later, the Civil War began when Confederate forces under General P.G.T. Beauregard opened fire on Union-held Fort Sumter in South Carolina.
