Amidst all the other issues facing the country - tariffs, the deficit, a judicial lawfare system, renewed antisemitism, a cabal of unaccountable functionaries that ran the country in lieu of our mentally incapacitated president (aided and abetted by the entire MSM) – we still have to deal with men in women’s sports. And it’s a hot mess.
But actually, it’s indicative of a much larger problem:
I was born into and grew up in an era of miracles wrought by hard work, dedication, and dearly earned competence. So it’s a bitter pill to swallow when I look around now and see that our greatest challenge isn’t going to the moon and back with slide rules and vacuum tubes; it’s trying to figure out who gets to use the girls’ bathroom at an Ivy League swim meet. We no longer build aircraft that can fly at 100,000 feet and Mach 3+ because the solar grid lacks sufficient power to replace the AG-330 Start Cart needed to spool up a J58 engine. Also, a snail darter might get harmed by the sonic boom.
We are, these days, a nation in the thrall of lazy, dishonest, spineless, clueless, incompetent, yet endlessly entitled and arrogant academics, bureaucrats, politicians, media figures, and other “experts” who can’t seem to find their way from their heads to their asses with their hands when something important, like, say, COVID or the 25th Amendment, is in play. But it doesn't slow them down in the slightest when they decide, despite millions of years of evolution (and a plethora of other ancillary evidence to the contrary), that men can transform into women, that merit is a manifestation of oppression, that opposing ideas are vulgar, and that disagreement is tantamount to prejudice. How the hell do you expect these nimrods to figure out that men don’t belong in women’s sports?
That’s where we are right now. When you can’t do hard things anymore, sophistry rules. I just don’t know how long that’s sustainable.
When we can’t get the simple things right it’s hard to see how we’re going to work our way through the tough ones.
It’s a good thing Trump is a human dynamo who has lined up a team of human dynamos to assist him in Making America Great Again. May God help him.
