Fact - as disabled people, we are required to be 10 times better to be seen as half as good. It's exhausting.

How do you know? You don’t audit them, and you’re obstructing the federal government’s audit, Rob. What are you hiding?

Will you share this? I need your help👇🏽

To use a leftie term, I’m feeling especially triggered by the response to what happened to Kallie Keeler. All the anon accounts screeching that it's a normal part of wrestling, just an "oil check" (an illegal move by the way, that this was not), that she's too wimpy and weak to be a wrestler if she can't handle it. Bullshit. She was assaulted. A man stuck his fingers inside her vagina and held them there. This incident echoes dark patterns that I have witnessed and even been caught in the midst of for decades. Bad men will hide behind shields of respectability while abusing girls and women in plain sight. As a former gymnast and whistleblower, I see the parallels to Larry Nassar immediately. Nassar hid behind the respectability of his medical degree and his role as USA Gymnastics team doctor. After he abused young female athletes for 30 years, finally women came forward in droves to report the assaults. Those victims were attacked for months until there were too many to ignore. My coach hid behind his "coach" title, while claiming to keep athletes safe as a spotter, then molesting in plain view. Athletes were shamed into silence. Predators will exploit any opening to find, abuse and assault their victims.

What would America look like if 55 million Visas were cancelled and all the illegals were deported? Let's deep dive it. If 55 million visas were cancelled overnight and all the illegals were deported, America would change in ways few could imagine. At first it would look chaotic. Hospitals short on nurses. Tech firms unable to staff support teams. Crops left to rot because migrant labor vanished. For a few months, the headlines would scream collapse. But then something else would happen. Wages would climb. Automation would soar. The price of an hour of work would be valuable. Trades and apprenticeships would surge. Competence and ownership would return to our society. Hospitals could bill people instead of government. Colleges that depended on foreign tuition would close, but community colleges would thrive again as Americans re-trained. Housing prices in major cities would fall for the first time in decades. Renters would finally have leverage. Families that were priced out could buy homes again. The GDP might dip at first, but the money would start circulating locally. People who thought they’d never matter in the economy would suddenly be needed again. The country would remember how to build, grow, fix, and teach without importing labor. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would be ours.

Let’s make one thing very clear: signing up for girls’ wrestling is in NO way a permission slip for sexual assault. As @ADFLegal explained in our lawsuit: “Digital penetration falls outside the scope of implied consent to participating in athletics because, under normal circumstances of girls wrestling, it is not a reasonably foreseeable hazard from the perspective of a girl wrestler. Nor is sexual assault or groping generally accepted by society as part of any lawful athletic contest.” Also: girls who sign up for girls’ wrestling aren’t consenting to wrestle boys. Kallie Keeler was betrayed by multiple adults in authority, who knowingly allowed her to wrestle a male without her knowledge or consent. They bear responsibility for what happened to her—and they are continuing to put female wrestlers in harm’s way through their actions and policies. That’s why, besides suing governing bodies @wiaawa, @waOSPI, and the Puyallup School District, we’re also suing: - State superintendent Chris Reykdal - Kallie’s principal - Her school district’s Title IX coordinator - Her opponent’s coach … and not just in their official capacities, but as individuals. I’m also glad to hear the local prosecutor is reportedly still considering action against those who failed to report the sexual assault, as required by law. These mandatory reporters should have reported the incident within 48 hours but waited 53 days. They should face consequences. We won’t rest until Kallie gets justice—and girls in Washington state get their sports back.

If she didn’t consent to wrestle with a boy, she didn’t consent for him to put hands on her, and she certainly didn’t consent for him to put fingers INSIDE her Every violation follows from the first Didn’t we tell you sex deception leads to sexual assault? Didn’t we tell you?

This is the kind of thing that haunts families, and it haunts me and my deputies.  All because a prosecutor won't prosecute a crime. A man cosplaying as a woman sexually assaults a young lady as part of a sport.  It's on tape. That's what happened.  We recommended charges.  The Pierce County prosecutor declined to charge and says the fact that it was a man doesn't have any bearing on the assault. It's right there. On video.  They don't want you to believe your own eyes.  It's gaslighting.  It's awful. To everyone on here.  Flood the internet with this story.  They're not listening and it's time we got loud.
