    It is interesting, & she should get to fight, but against whom? Against Women or Men (I’m probably confusing the two boxers, but is this the one that’s super high testosterone last year or is this the one that’s XY chromosomes?) or a Trans category (if that’s the case here?) or a DSD category...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Iran will almost certainly have to conduct some kind of operation against Israel. It has been attacked on its sovereign soil and retaliation will be expected. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said Wednesday it was Tehran’s “duty” to respond and pledged “harsh punishment” for Israel. The...

    Yes. Weird question but yes. I was actually one of twins, I survived, and the other was stillborn. My Sister the exact same story. Then one of my aunts had two sets of twins, 10 months apart.

    My father was like that. Being left-handed I’m back-and-forth depending on the sport, based upon what equipment I could borrow as a child when I was learning the sport…. So I’m predominantly left-handed but forced ambidextrous tendencies. My father could saw or hammer with both hands...

    High School. Jeff medaled in Wrestling (Silver in 120kg) in Barcelona but it wouldn’t have been a stretch of the imagination for him to have done the same in boxing. He was just gifted at whatever he tried physically. He was three years older than me, & the better part of 100 pounds on me, with...

    I’ve boxed in my youth (long enough to know that I was never going to be great by any means), and your headgear doesn’t shift on its own…but usually with significant help from your opponent. That was 30 seconds into the fight, and she bowed out at 46 seconds so something wonky happened. Cool...

    Well, here’s something detail wise that’s not just conflicting opinions from overnight: Angela Carini went to her coach 30 seconds into the fight to fix her headgear but after briefly resuming she returned to her corner and stopped, quickly leaving the ring. She later explained that she had...

The region faces a risk of widened conflict between...

    It's Kamala

    So, if some other Democrat floats to the surface of the pile, and dances the dance & jumps through the hoops…would Kamala have to split Biden’s $250,000,000.00 war chest she “inherited” or is that hers solely upon the endorsement of the handful of Democrat Royalty & Celebrity Endorsement she’s...

    Don't fall prey to 'hitman' scam, B.C. RCMP detachment warns

    The scams are real though, and I don’t know what the odds of profitability are, one in a thousand (?) or whatever, but if they didn’t work, they wouldn’t exist. Smart people can get fooled, just as easily as the not so smart at times. Here’s an attempt from the middle of the night, sitting on...

    Enlightening enrichment by Britain's diverse cultures

    Actually, the British Empire had governance over the most people at its peak. The Mongol Empire was the largest when looking at continuous land area… but that’s a different story.😉 I live in Canada, & those currently in governance in my nation sure as hell don’t own me.

    ALERT: Multiple outbreaks of a third-world illness called shigella (dysentery) is spreading in Canada.

    Shigella causes disease in primates, but not in other mammals; it is the causative agent of human shigellosis. It is only naturally found in humans and gorillas. During infection, it typically causes dysentery. Shigella is a leading cause of bacterial diarrhea worldwide, with 80–165 million...

    Enlightening enrichment by Britain's diverse cultures

    Did they “own” the people from which they held sway over the land?

    Like I was saying above, it’s all over the place, with conflicting information. Anyone on any side of the issue can find a current news story to back up their opinion. No idea which ones the actual truth at this point. The only consistent thing is that there’s controversy involved.

    Enlightening enrichment by Britain's diverse cultures

    Ruling over a land or territory is different that owning the people that occupy it. I think that’s the point that’s trying to be put across. Does King Charles own the people of Great Britain, Canada, Australia, etc…?

    Two Olympic boxers have found themselves at the centre of a fractious controversy in recent days, following a decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to allow them to compete in Paris. Thousands of comments - and numerous news articles – have claimed Algeria's Imane Khelif and...

    Only caught some headlines, and I’m trying to cook up about 30 pounds of bones for my dogs… In the women’s boxing division, two boxers, one super spiking testosterone and about a year ago, & the other failed the gender thing XY etc… Haven’t had a chance to dig into it.

    ALERT: Multiple outbreaks of a third-world illness called shigella (dysentery) is spreading in Canada.

    Had a relative that caught that years ago in Mexico….. high-end resort too. Sicker than a dog for a long stretch…& by the time she was better she lost 30 or 40 pounds. Crazy.
