No more empowering Women and Girls instead defame them and destroy them.

The Democrat Senator recently voted 51-45, Democrats filibustered the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, introduced by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala. It fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance as Democrats dismissed it as a distraction and a cynical political move. When elected officials who claim to be representing their constituents deny voting for a bill that would protect girls and women in sports against males claiming to be girls only to overpower them to gain trophies they’d never win in their own class.  

This just goes to show how the old feminists who claimed to have championed women’s rights and protections for Title IV are nowhere to be found at this time of life. Have they all died or are they hiding to ensure Title IV dies a slow death for future generations? Instead of having warriors to fight for girls and women in sports, we have old cows such as the ladies of the View who claim to be for empowering women and girls sticking up for males claiming to be women and competing in sports, winning trophies and sports opportunities for women and girls under DEI programs in school, universities and even the Olympics. Throw in female governors like Hockel, and Mills who are standing up for males posing as females to compete in sports they never could have won as a male. Talk about fraud in sports. And yes Whoopie the Woke movement caused this and you are taking it to the next level. You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting this nonsense. 

Then we have the ladies of the View who are absolute hypocrites! They know nothing about politics, nor do they understand how the government works. They just like the idea of hearing themselves speak nonsense and the network lets them get away with their defaming people which ultimately results in lawsuits against these women and the network.  I for one am glad that Karoline and other conservatives have filed lawsuits against them and the network. Bankrupt them into space. 

It makes me laugh to hear Joy Behar degrade a woman like Karoline Leavitt to the likes of a porn star, then Whoopie chimes in and helps her disrespect Karoline even more then spits on the ground as she talks about the President of the United States. The women of The View are like parasites who should be taken out back and beaten for their lack of respect for other women and people who love this country because they apparently don’t love or even like America. Throw them out once and for all.

The View started by Barbara Walters to discuss politics and the issues of the day while uplifting and empowering women has unfortunately turned into a bitter old broad club that is filled with untalented and unworthy women who sit around and degrade women for their accomplishments out of pure jealousy looking for clicks and viral clips for the internet. Has ABC sunk so low that they allow these cows to treat women as verbal punching bags?

I say these women are jealous of women like Karoline Leavitt for her brilliance, work ethic, and dedication to this country, and then they’ve just become has-been comedians (Joy), actors (Whoopie), corrupt lawyers (Sunny), failed actors/journalists (Sarah) and of course we can’t forget the failed political analyst (Anna) then we have the political turncoat (Alyssa) who couldn’t hack it in DC after Covid 19 and went to the dark side of the View.

What kills me is that I was in politics for over 50 years, and I’ve seen jealous females in my life, but these cows take the cake for being jealous and envious of someone so talented and well-educated that they can’t even hold a candle to someone like Karoline Leavitt.

With daytime viewership declining at the same time defamation lawsuits piling up, add in advertising dollars declining and running for the hills, when is ABC executives going to wake up and kick this show to the curb along with the overblown cows off the air?

No wonder society is all for men taking over women’s sports, the men in charge of ABC are proving that men can’t keep up with men anymore, so why not degrade and belittle women and allow cows such as the ladies of the View to be their weapons, yet the ladies of the view don’t realize they’re being used as the weapon against real women of the world. Get a life ladies and stand up to the men who are scamming the world and setting women up for medieval failure.

The women in Congress are hypocrites!

The women in Congress are hypocrites!

During the President’s address to the Joint House on Tuesday night, many Democratic women in Congress wore pink to protest President Donald Trump’s policies and their effect on American “women”. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-New Mexico) the chair of the Democratic Women’s Caucus had the nerve to claim that they “wore pink to raise the alarm about the negative impacts his policies are having on women.” What hypocrites these women are. They claim to want to help women maintain respect and power, yet when the vote in the Senate came up recently their Democratic counterparts voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, by a vote of 51-45. Yeah, ladies you are so in favor of protecting women, you allowed the members of the Democratic party in the Senate to vote against Protecting Women and Girls in Sports Act. You’re all pathetic in what you support and what you don’t. You claim to have so much power on the hill in Washington, DC, so why can’t you get your senate counterparts to vote to protect women and girls in sports. Why don’t you all just resign and stop with the grandstanding in pink? You fail at protecting women and girls every day of the week, yet you spout off that you are elected to help support them and empower them to greatness, when in fact it’s all just lip service. Your constituents should be so proud of you for your falsehood lip service that is full of lies and grandstanding to make yourselves sound like you care when in fact you don’t give a damn.

The Alamo History

 

The Alamo History

Learning history has always been fascinating to me and having visited San Antonio and the site of The Alamo, intrigued me even more as the anniversary of the Alamo battle is upon us. The Alamo is an 18th-century Franciscan mission located in San Antonio, Texas, U.S., and became the iconic battleground for a brave band of fighters seeking Texan independence from Mexico in 1836.

Originally part of Mission San Antonio de Valero, it was abandoned before emerging as "the Alamo," named for nearby cottonwood trees. 

Tensions started In December 1835, when Texan volunteers seized control amid the Texas Revolution and held their ground despite leadership urging retreat.

By February 23, 1836, General Santa Anna led a sizeable Mexican force to besiege the Alamo with estimates ranging from 1,800 to 6,000 men against around 189 defenders commanded by Colonels Bowie and Travis—alongside Davy Crockett! 

For thirteen days they resisted; however, on March 6th Mexicans stormed through a breach in the wall. Tragically wiped out nearly all defenders while suffering heavy losses themselves.

Despite their defeat, Texan defenders transformed the Alamo into a powerful symbol of courageous resistance.

On April 21, 1836, as Houston's troops triumphed over Santa Anna’s forces at San Jacinto, they rallied with cries of “Remember the Alamo!”—a battle cry that inspired U.S. soldiers in the Mexican American War.

After Texas joined the United States in 1845, it became a hub for military troops and supplies. In 1883, Texas acquired ownership of this historic site and has since restored it to honor its legacy. Today, it's managed by the Daughters of Republic of Texas (established in 1891), celebrating Texan pioneers.

In 2015, following its restoration alongside four other Spanish missions and an adjacent ranch in Floresville, UNESCO recognized it as a World Heritage Site!

A pivotal clash during the Texas Revolution, fought from February 23 to March 6, 1836, in San Antonio. This fierce confrontation ended with a crushing victory for Mexican forces over Texian volunteers and became a powerful symbol of resistance for Texans and their rallying cry in the Mexican American War. 

The revolution ignited in October 1835 with early Texan triumphs that pushed Mexican troops south by December. However, this momentum waned as General Santa Anna's army marched northward to quell the uprising while many Texas rebels returned home. Small garrisons remained at key locations like San Antonio de Béxar (the Alamo), which was fortified but poorly stocked under command from William Travis and James Bowie.

Surprised on February 23 by Santa Anna’s advance force—ranging anywhere from 1,800 to an astonishing 6,000 men—the Texians defiantly rejected his demand for surrender. A brutal siege ensued; artillery bombardments rocked both sides as tension escalated around the historic mission!

Cold winter conditions plagued both sides, leading to minor skirmishes with few casualties. Texan reinforcements briefly broke through Mexican lines, boosting their numbers. However, the disorganized Texas government failed to send relief.

On March 6, before dawn, four columns of Mexican infantry launched a fierce assault on the Alamo’s walls…

Texans defended valiantly with makeshift cannon and rifle fire but ultimately succumbed after brutal close-quarters combat. The legendary Davy Crockett was among the fallen.

The siege ignited a mass exodus known as the “Runaway Scrape.” Yet upon hearing of Houston's victory at San Jacinto, many returned home—shouting "Remember the Alamo!"
