Baseball Great Calls Out AOC Over Boulder Response – Challenges Her to Do Something to Help By Cole Harrison
Baseball Great Calls Out AOC Over Boulder Response – Challenges Her to Do Something to Help
Ever notice how some people in Washington are really good at talking? They can talk about problems all day long. They can say how sad and sorry they are when bad things happen. But when it’s time to actually do something, well, that’s a different story, isn’t it?
It’s like they have all the right words, but the actions just don’t follow. Thankfully, every now and then, someone steps up, cuts through the noise, and says what a lot of us are thinking. And sometimes, that someone is a sports hero who’s not afraid to speak his mind.
That’s exactly what happened when former baseball star Kevin Youkilis, a two-time World Series champ, heard what Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) had to say about a recent, shocking attack in Boulder, Colorado. After people calling for Israeli hostages to be freed were attacked, AOC said she was “horrified.” She talked about a “moral responsibility to confront and stop” antisemitism. Sounds good, right? But Youkilis wasn’t buying it.
From ‘Fox News’:
“Jews are targeted with violence and it’s the same virtue signal post time and time again,” he wrote on X in response. “What have you done to confront those calling for intifadas in NYC? Until you create a plan of action, your repeated virtue signaling after the violence occurs holds no weight.”
More Than Just Empty Words, Please!
Youkilis, who is Jewish, basically told AOC that her words felt empty. He said that real leadership means having a “plan of action,” not just tweeting nice things after people get hurt. He even pointed out that politicians, and it sure sounds like he means people like AOC and her Democrat colleagues, often “shy away in fear of losing votes and power” instead of taking a brave stand.
He challenged her to confront the “radical mobs chanting for intifadas in NYC.” That’s a strong call for action, not just more talk. It’s about holding people accountable for hateful speech before it turns into hateful actions.
When “Compassion” Opens the Floodgates
And hateful action is exactly what happened in Boulder. The FBI called it a “targeted terror attack.” Eight people, who were simply trying to raise awareness for Israeli hostages, were lit on fire with homemade devices. The man accused of this horror, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, wasn’t even supposed to be in the country.
Reports say Soliman came here in August 2022. His permission to stay ran out in February 2023. Yet, somehow, he got a work permit in March 2023 from the previous administration, valid through March 2024. He overstayed again and was here illegally when the attack happened. This is the kind of dangerous mess the Trump administration is now working hard to clean up, a direct result of the failed open-door policies of the past.
Suddenly Silent When It Counts?
This isn’t the first time AOC’s words have raised eyebrows. Remember those chaotic anti-Israel protests at Columbia University? While Jewish students were being told to stay home for their own safety, AOC called the agitators “peaceful.” It makes you wonder if some leaders only see what they want to see.When people are chanting for violence and hate, calling it “peaceful” doesn’t make it so. And when terror strikes, offering thoughts and prayers without a commitment to tackle the root causes – including who we are letting into our country and what hateful ideologies are being allowed to fester – just isn’t enough. Americans, especially conservative patriots, are tired of the double standards and the empty promises. They want leaders who will protect our nation and its values, not just talk about them.
Key Takeaways:
- Empty political talk is useless; citizens demand decisive action against hate.
- Failed past immigration policies enabled threats; President Trump is restoring order and security.
- Real leaders confront all hate, not just when politically easy or convenient.
Department of Ed Ditches “Pride Month,” Celebrates Title IX InsteadBy Noah Stanton
Department of Ed Ditches “Pride Month,” Celebrates Title IX InsteadBy Noah Stanton
It feels like just yesterday when you knew which bathroom to use, and girls’ sports were, well, for girls. Lately, though, it seems like common sense took a long vacation, and some people in charge decided to rewrite all the old, simple rules, especially when it comes to our schools and our kids.
Many parents have been scratching their heads, wondering if anyone in Washington remembers what’s truly important for families and for protecting young people. It’s been a bit like watching a confusing movie where you can’t quite tell the good guys from the ones pushing wacky ideas. But hold onto your hats, because it looks like someone finally found the remote control.
That’s right, a refreshing breeze of common sense is blowing through the halls of government! President Donald Trump’s Education Department has just announced that June will now be celebrated as “Title IX Month.” This is a big change from the previous administration, which seemed more interested in pushing other agendas during the summer kickoff.
For too long, it felt like the people in charge were twisting good rules to mean something they were never meant to. Title IX was passed way back to make sure girls and women got a fair shake, especially in sports and education. But lately? It felt like it was being used to push confusing ideas about gender, instead of protecting our daughters. The Trump administration says “enough!”
They’re spending June highlighting how they’re working to protect female sports and private spaces for girls. This is a direct pushback against the “woke” wave that tried to put boys in girls’ locker rooms and called it progress. It’s about getting back to basics and what Title IX originally stood for – fairness and safety for girls and women.
And this isn’t just talk. The Education Department, under Secretary Linda McMahon, is already taking action. They’ve launched investigations into some really concerning situations that happened under the old leadership. For example, they’re looking into the University of Wyoming. Can you believe a male student was allowed into a girls’ sorority and even lived in their female-only housing? The lawsuit from the sorority members describes disturbing incidents, including the male student reportedly watching female students in private moments. That’s not right, and it’s good to see someone stepping in.
Then there’s a case in Colorado’s Jefferson County Public Schools. Imagine getting a notice that your daughter would be sharing overnight school trip rooms with other girls, only to find out the school has a very different idea of what a “girl” is.
From ‘The Daily Wire’:
In a press release, the Education Department notes that Jefferson County Public Schools “allegedly misleads parents by informing them that girls and boys will be separated for overnight accommodations without divulging that its definition of ‘girl’ includes boys who claim a female identity.”
That’s just plain sneaky, and thankfully, the grown-ups are now in charge of investigating this kind of nonsense. Parents deserve honesty from schools, not trickery.
This all ties into a bigger promise from President Trump and Secretary McMahon: giving control over children’s education back to states and, most importantly, back to parents. They’ve been very open about wanting to get the federal government’s nose out of local school business, and maybe even get rid of the federal Department of Education altogether one day. Since President Trump returned to office, his Education Department has also started looking into states like California and Maine for possibly not respecting parental rights laws. It’s all about making sure moms and dads are in the driver’s seat when it comes to their kids’ learning and well-being.
It’s a welcome change to see an administration that values traditional principles and isn’t afraid to say that girls are girls and boys are boys. Celebrating Title IX for its true purpose – protecting and promoting opportunities for women and girls – is a giant step back towards sanity. This isn’t just about a month; it’s about sending a clear message that the safety, privacy, and fairness for our daughters are top priorities once again. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of rolling back the more extreme policies and restoring common sense across the board.
