As some of you may know I am on the far side of fifty and thus closer to sunset than to sunrise. I suspect that a lot of us “older sort” remember Looney Tunes, which were cartoon shorts featuring cherished characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Tweety, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Taz, Marvin the Martian, and Beaky Buzzard.
Oh … the nostalgia! However, for the younger readers who do not recall the old Looney Tunes, there are 206 strange characters that are we can now refer to as “looney.” These are the 206 House Democrats who on 1/14/25 voted against the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which excludes males from participating in women’s sports sponsored by organizations that receive federal funding.
The text stipulates that “sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
From Clay Travis on X
“Only two Democrats voted yes to keep men out of women’s sports. How insane is this? I can’t believe that it is Democrat party orthodoxy that men pretending to be women should be able to play women’s sports. Legit crazy town.”
I would love to be a fly on the wall when each of these 206 loonies individually explain his/her rationale to their daughters and granddaughters!
