    House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) stood in solidarity with the rest of his party on Thursday as not one of them voted in favor of the GOP-led bill designed to protect women's sports.

    Jeffries criticized the measure - claiming that all "kind-hearted Americans" stood with him in supporting trans-identifying children - and said that "extreme MAGA Republicans" were attempting to amplify an issue that "doesn't exist."

    Referencing the bill - which is expected to die in the Democrat-controlled Senate - Jeffries added, "I believe in the fundamental goodness and decency and integrity and respectfulness of the American people."

    He went on to argue that for him, that bill - which split along party lines - was not political. Rather, he said, it was about "being there for all of America's children."

    "... including transgender children, who just want to be able to live. And to belong. And to make friends," he continued. "That's something that all Americans, I believe, all decent, kind-hearted Americans fundamentally support. And extreme MAGA Republicans are trying to sensationalize an issue that doesn't really exist in the way that they are falsely portraying."

    But despite Jeffries' insistence that the issue "doesn't really exist," trans-identifying athlete Chloe Barnes just recently helped Brookline High School to win the Massachusetts State Interscholastic Athletics Association Division 1 Indoor Track and Field Championships.

    Just last year, trans-identifying University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas - who is still biologically fully male - won an NCAA women's championship title.

    And this issue didn't just suddenly arise in the last year or even over the last several years. The 2018 Connecticut State high school women's track & field championships were dominated by two biologically male trans-identifying students.

    Hulu has even released a documentary, aptly titled "Changing the Game," that follows the paths of three trans-identifying athletes involved in their high school sports teams.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?

  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.

  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.

  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

Considering the current overwhelming obstacles inflicting stress upon America's working class: rampant inflation; energy insecurity; supply chain turmoil; banking failures; foreign policy disasters; government corruption; (DEI) Diversity Equity Inclusion narrative, with WOKE extremes practiced; Climate Change ideology; intractable crime wave in Leftist cities; wide open border by executive design; a permanently discredited Legacy Media; failed or failing education industry, just to name a few of the many: Who should Americans blame?

  Donald J. Trump

  Joseph R. Biden

  Leftist controlled Congress for the last 4 years.

  Bloated, incompetent bureaucracy weaponized and poorly managed

  The electorate, US, for putting these fools in elected office that utterly fail
