“She is the first woman in history to win the 100 and 200 meters in back-to-back Olympics.”
That is how USA Today summarized the performance of Elaine Thompson-Herah, the Jamaican sprinter who dominated women’s track events in the COVID-delayed 2021 Olympics.
Thompson-Herah won a third gold medal in Tokyo that year as the first runner on Jamaica’s 4×100 meter relay team.
In the 100-meter race, she not only won gold for the second Olympics in a row but set an Olympic record by running the race in 10.61 seconds.
That was the second-fastest 100 meters any woman has ever run in any competition, according to the Mirror. The only woman who ever ran faster was Florence Griffith-Joyner, an American, who in 1988 set the women’s world record of 10.49 seconds in the 100-meter dash.
But what if Elaine Thompson-Herah had been forced to run in the men’s 100-meter final at the Tokyo Olympics?
She would have finished last.
The slowest contestant in the men’s 100-meter final in Tokyo was Bingtian Su of the People’s Republic of China. His last-place finish was timed at 9.98 seconds — 0.63 seconds faster than Thompson-Herah’s Olympic record of 10.61 seconds in the women’s final.
The swimming competition saw similar results at the Tokyo Olympics.
Emma McKeon of Australia won the 100-meter freestyle swimming race with a time of 51.96. Caeleb Dressel of the United States won the men’s 100-meter freestyle with a time of 47.02. The slowest swimmer in the men’s 100-meter final in Tokyo was Nandor Nemeth of Hungary, who had a time of 48.10.
Nemeth’s last-place time in the men’s race was 3.86 seconds faster than McKeon’s winning time in the women’s race.
What is the lesson here? President Joe Biden is once again exposing his radical idiocy by opposing legislation that would prevent biological men from competing in women’s sports at federally funded institutions.
The House Rules Committee last week sent to the full House a bill (H.R. 734) that is called the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. As the House Committee on Education and the Workforce explained in its report on the bill, it has a simple — and important — purpose. It would prohibit “a recipient of federal financial assistance who operates, sponsors, or facilitates athletic programs or activities to permit a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.”
The committee’s report further explained that, in the context of this legislation, “sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
So, for example, a 6-foot-10-inch 290-pound biological male could not play center on the women’s basketball team.
Nor could a male high school student who hit 50 home runs as a junior on the varsity baseball team switch to the women’s softball team in his senior year.
Biden claims the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act is “discrimination,” and his White House last week put out a statement condemning it.
“The Administration strongly opposes the House passage of H.R. 734,” said the statement.
“H.R. 734 would deny access to sports for many families by establishing an absolute ban on transgender students — even those as young as elementary schoolers — playing on a team consistent with their gender identity,” the White House said.
“Discrimination has no place in our nation’s schools or on our playing fields,” it said. “Congressional Republicans have instead chosen to prioritize policies that discriminate against children.”
“If the president were presented with H.R. 734, he would veto it,” said the White House.
Were Biden to do so, he would be mocked by history — for mindlessly engaging in a battle with a biological fact: There are two human sexes, male and female.
This nation was founded on the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” As the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. famously noted in his Letter from the Birmingham Jail: “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.”
Laws and regulations that require or permit schools to pretend that biological males are actually females — or that let biological males compete on female athletic teams — violate the natural law. They are unjust.
The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act would be a just law in keeping with the natural law.
If Congress passes the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act and President Biden vetoes it, Biden would be guilty of an unjust act that violates the natural law.
His victims would be women and girls in schools all across America.
Why all the fuss about not allowing men to compete in women’s sports by saying it is discrimination? But we discriminate in many ways and it is not illegal to do so. Children are not allowed to marry, drive cars, work, vote or be elected to parliament – isn’t that ‘age’ discrimination? Professional tennis tournaments like Wimbledon have separate men’s and women’s events – isn’t that sexual discrimination? People cannot attend sport’s events, theaters, without paying to enter – isn’t that discrimination the basis of wealth?
First, Biden doesn’t know the difference between day and night, or good and evil, let alone male and female. Second, he doesn’t have to worry about the political fallout from a veto. Our garbage “news media” either won’t report it or will report it as a blow for civil rights. Anyone who criticizes it will be labeled an intolerant Hitlerite Trump voting enemy of “Our Democracy.”
Joe probably couldn’t tell the difference even after he showered with them, except of course for his niece.
Biden is a sexually perverted pedophile who doesn’t care.
Only when they pass the sniff test…..
Obviously Joe is deciding on the basis of getting more votes in the coming election. He wants the far left, the youth vote, anything that can get him over the line to stay in the WH longer. The longer he is in the WH, the more money flows to the Biden family in the way of board positions and LLCs and so on. Just as it has in the past. Of course there are investigations in the House, but he may be able to get past this unscathed. He has the media and justice department in his pocket, and he is appointing more and more leftists to judgeships and other positions of authority. So why not go all out for what he wants?
How do the instances of women wanting to compete as men stack up against the instances of men wanting to compete as women? Bet there’s quite a disparity there. Even they know their claims are bs.
I don’t think he much cares which is which. “Get them before they grow teeth” is his only thought
One can only hope the States still operating under the laws of nature will take on this absurdity. The D evil’s bargain they’ve all signed on for, federal money, will cause some apprehension but the sane will find a way to get around this. What is needed is an administration and Congress willing to call out these warped ideas constantly being pushed by Marxists who desire the total destruction of the tried and true standards that have advanced civilization since the Cave Man days. As bad as it looks now, the Marxists will fail because the laws of nature can not be altered nor can they be violated for long before the consequences are felt by the civilized and rejected.
Letting boys compete against girls is discrimination against the girls. And don’t try selling that a biologic male is a girl just because he says so.
When are the women of this country going to wake up to the fact that the crazy Leftist Dems are out to destroy them, along with white males and Christians.
Sure, he can tell the diff between a boy and a girl and prefers girls but this does not make him a pedofile. He just enjoys the transfer of affection grandfathers have with their grandchildren.
What about his proclivity to sniff and touch little girls that aren’t related to him? His “grandfatherly love” runneth over? Yeah, that must be it.
