The Week in Woke

The fascist state of Vermont banned a small Christian school from all sport and academic competitions because they forfeited games against schools featuring male cheaters on their "female" teams. But they're now faced to pay a half million in damages (which seems... inadequate).

Vermont pays $566K in damages, legal fees to Christian school it banned from all sports competitions for years

A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized Tuesday after the school was barred from athletics and academic competitions for two years

FIRST ON FOX: State education agencies in Vermont have paid over $566,000 in damages and legal fees to a Christian school that was banned from all sports and academic competitions for two years after its girls' basketball team refused to compete against a trans athlete in 2023.
A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized on Tuesday that awarded the plaintiffs, including the Mid Vermont Christian School and its law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the $566,000.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Vermont Principals' Association and the Vermont State Board of Education for a response.

The settlement comes after a years-long saga in which all the school's sports teams, and even its academic teams, like spelling bee and mathletes, had to travel out of state to compete against other schools.
The conflict dates back to an afternoon early in the 2023 school year at Mid Vermont Christian, when the school decided to forfeit a girls' basketball postseason game against a team with a trans athlete.
Their Christian faith was more important to them than a game. But it was still a hard call, and it brought some tears.
"We were all in agreement that the right decision was to not compromise our beliefs and to withdraw, but the conversation with the players was the hardest," Mid Vermont Christian girls' basketball coach Chris Goodwin told Fox News Digital.
"Because you play a 20-game season, and you put in the work and the expectation is that you enter the postseason tournament with a shot to see how you're going to do and to see how far you can get. So there were some teary eyes, and some sad faces, but in the end, they all really did understand that it was the right thing to do."

But it was about to get much harder for not just the team, but for the entire school of about 111 students.
Within days of the forfeit, they learned the consequences escalated far beyond a single game. The Vermont Principals' Association banned the school, not just from basketball, but from all athletics and a range of academic competitions.
"Almost immediately... they came out very strongly," Goodwin said. "We were going to be banned from all athletic competition in the state... and then on top of that... science fairs and spelling bees."
What followed was not a single lost season, but years of dislocation. The school was forced to arrange competitions with schools out of state just to make sure their extracurricular programs could continue.
Instead of short bus rides to nearby schools, teams traveled hours across state lines. Familiar rivalries disappeared. Home gyms sat quieter.
"The travel is probably triple," Goodwin said. "You're getting back at 10 o'clock at night... kids trying to do homework. I don't want to say there's a nightmare, but it was difficult."
...
ADF Senior Counsel Dave Cortman told Fox News Digital that he was shocked at how firmly the education authorities in Vermont wouldn't back down from their sweeping sanction on the small Christian school.
"It's been surprising how much the state has dug in their heels," he said. "The arguments they've made... even saying your beliefs are wrong...
"Their message was, 'in order for you to follow your religious beliefs, boys are boys, girls are girls, that would actually violate their nondiscrimination policies.' So the irony of it was, they were discriminating against religious schools."

In Formerly First World (FFW) country Australia, women are being forced to sign pledges that they will not object to playing a team packed with five (5!) male cheaters, will not protest being forced to play against male cheaters -- not even silent protests, like taking a knee -- and will not forfeit games to avoid being injured by the five male cheaters.

By the way, the "Flying Bats," packed with not one, not two, but five male cheaters, were the undefeated champions (17-0) of the Premier League. Gee I wonder how they managed that.

Sydney's Flying Bats sparked debate after an unbeaten title run, as new league rules now require teams to play them, with penalties for refusing fixtures.
Women's football in Sydney is facing a heated debate.
The focus is on Flying Bats FC, a club that won the 2024 season unbeaten and has since become the center of controversy.
The team, which included five transgender players, won the title without a single loss. They scored 65 goals and conceded only four.
According to reports, they recorded six clean-sheet wins, including two in the semifinals on the way to the final.

A clean-sheet win is a win where you do not give up any goals to the opponent. Boy this team must really practice hard!!!

Women are being forced to sign this pledge as a condition for playing in the league at all.

Note that there is an intersex league that permits men and women to play together, but the male cheaters refuse to play in that league. They want to beat up women because they're envious that the women are women and they are not.

Those last two stories via aPauling News.

Thomas Jipping and Hans von Spakovsky revisit the "swinging dicks" decision from the Ninth Circuit.

We usually give just one judge our "Dishonorable Judicial Conduct Award" but the opinion recently issued by two judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Clinton appointees M. Margaret McKeown and Ronald M. Gould, was so outrageous -- and so outside the law -- that we felt compelled to give them both our April award.
Olympus Spa v. Armstrong began as a lawsuit by the owners of two Korean spas that limited entry only to "[b]iological women." They refused entry to a man claiming to be a woman who had not had surgery to change his intact male genitals, and he filed a complaint with the Washington Human Rights Commission (WHRC).
...
Lee, who replaced the notorious liberal icon Stephen Reinhardt, provided important context for this case. Korean spas, he explained, are "steeped in centuries-old tradition" and focus on "rejuvenating the body and mind through treatments" that "require their patrons to be fully naked."
...
McKeown and Gould, Lee wrote, are telling Olympus Spa that "women -- and girls as young as 13-years-old -- must be nude alongside patrons with exposed male genitalia as they receive treatment." Plus, the female employees will be forced to "provide full-body massages to naked pre-operative transgender women with intact male sexual organs."
The spa's owners explained that their "Christian belief in modesty between men and women" is a "central tenet" of their "traditional theologically conservative" beliefs. But as Lee says, their "pleas fell on deaf ears," and there was a complete lack of sympathy for "members of a racial minority group who want to share their cultural heritage and provide a safe space for women and girls."
...
Shockingly, the full Ninth Circuit refused the spa owners' request to review this outrageous three-judge decision. In his dissent from that denial, Judge Lawrence VanDyke (a Trump appointee) used graphic language to describe this miscarriage of justice. This case, he wrote, is about male genitals, plain and simple, although Vandyke used a much more graphic term about "swinging d**ks."
...
VanDyke wrote that anyone disturbed by his choice of words should consider how much more distress Washington state and the Ninth Circuit are forcing upon women and girls in Korean spas. VanDyke added that while his "distressed colleagues appear to have the fastidious sensibilities of a Victorian nun," they have no such scruples "when it comes to the government trampling on religious liberties and exposing women and girls to male genitalia. That kind of selective outrage speaks for itself."

Is diversity the strength of the Canadian military? Turns out that a platoon containing 83% foreigners from Africa devolved into "interethnic infighting" with each other.

Juno News:

A confidential Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School report has revealed a complete breakdown in basic officer training following a surge in permanent resident enrolment.
One French-language platoon, which had over 80 per cent non-citizens, was reportedly wracked by an inability to communicate fluently, a lack of respect towards female CAF members and infighting between Cameroonian and Cote d'Ivoire candidates.
The Quebec platoon saw fewer than one in two recruits graduate, while allegations of racial discrimination were made in multiple directions, from candidates against staff and between candidates of opposing ethnic blocs themselves. Additionally, command saw "challenges" in training permanent residents as they lacked "respect towards women" peers and superiors.
"For many candidates it is the first time they have lived with members of a different sex, and for some it is also the first time they have been expected to treat women as their peers," explained the confidential report.
"Platoons are also reporting inter-candidate cultural frustrations, with lack of respect towards women being the most common concern."

Theory: A country whose military is made up 80% of foreign invaders will not be a country in ten years' time.

Breaking: The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against anti-ICE protesters, issuing another block against a judge's order prohibiting federal officers from deploying crowd control munitions on protesters at the Portland ICE facility.
The three-panel decision, issued by judges Kenneth Lee, Eric Tung, "and Ana de Alba (dissent), reads as follows:
"The First Amendment does not protect vandalism, criminal trespass, or obstruction of law enforcement. Such unlawful acts, however, have been commonplace around the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") building in Portland over the past year."
Numerous provocateurs--many wielding bats, shields, and strobe lights that disrupt vision--have hurled bricks, smashed security cameras, and blocked the driveway to prevent ICE cars from entering or exiting the building. In response, the government has used tear gas, pepper balls, and other non-lethal munitions to disperse the crowd."
"Five plaintiffs sued the government, alleging that they are peaceful protesters who have been injured as a result of the crowd-control tactics. But they do not contend that they are collateral casualties caught in the crossfire--they claim that the government specifically targeted them in retaliation for exercising their First Amendment rights."
"The plaintiffs have not shown that the agents had the subjective intent to retaliate or that the government has an unwritten policy targeting them. Much of the evidence shows the government trying to clear the entrance to the ICE facility in the face of unrest and an unruly crowd. And while some individual incidents might indicate an arguably disproportionate use of force, they alone do not amount to an unwritten policy of retaliation."

Trash clickbait mill the Daily Mail breathlessly reported that a pretty female JP Morgan executive had sexually harassed a male underling, drugging him with Rufies and telling him she would turn him into her "sex slave."

An investigation found there was no wrongdoing and that the charges were fabricated.

As proof, they offer this picture of the woman, and this picture of the Super-Stud she just couldn't help but rape:

11 >>A confidential Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School report has revealed a complete breakdown in basic officer training following a surge in permanent resident enrolment.

Armies are generally a microcosm of the society from which they come. They are the ultimate melting pot that forges unity, brotherhood and sense of purpose. This is especially true in times of war where the man standing next to you is all that matters.

Having said that you know why liberal, commie Democrats have continually tried to break that espirit de corps, and replace creed with incredulity.

A breakdown in the military proceeds or at least runs in tandem with a societal breakdown. Molding troops into factions based on politics makes them more likely to support the authoritarians who have allowed them to evolve into balkanized partisan gangs.

It’s why SecWar is changing the culture and restoring the warrior spirit top to bottom. We can not, we must not devolve in that way for the good of our democratic republic.

16 The Trump Administration is Preparing to Attempt a Nationwide Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Adults
The Trump admin is now defending its anti-trans prison policies by arguing care for trans adults can be banned because it isn’t healthcare. The consequences will extend far beyond prisons.

Yeah, i brought up to my union that the insurance company asked about my spiritual and religious beliefs. I was worried that they’d deny my hrt and insulin. Still am.

2025 playbook in action. force women into men's prisons, subject them to physical and mental torture daily to force detransition as their only means of survival and escape, Guantanamo Bay style, while preventing and covering up all attempts at self harm.

It's pretty amazing to think that politics can determine medical procedures. It's the most illiberal and unethical approach that does harm in a context of 'do no harm.'

HRT has done more for me than years of therapy and medications. You can pry my testosterone from my cold, dead hands.

BTW, he was there when the CV-3, Saratoga, came through. He said they got most of here crew passed-out drunk.

137 Brazil has really made it now if professors are making up Race and Class crimes there rather than ignoring and excusing them.

Posted by: Oldcat at May 01, 2026 06:57 PM (8avO+)

Racism is 'illegal' in Brazil.

The 1988 Federal Constitution explicitly defines racism as a crime that is non-bailable and not subject to a statute of limitations. The law prohibits various discriminatory acts, including the refusal of entry to public or private facilities, employment discrimination, and the dissemination of racially offensive symbols or epithets. Violations can result in imprisonment and fines, although activists and legal experts often argue that enforcement remains inconsistent and that penalties are sometimes insufficient to deter the practice

He was actually re-elected being black, in a state-wide race.

The Quebec platoon saw fewer than one in two recruits graduate, while allegations of racial discrimination were made in multiple directions, from candidates against staff and between candidates of opposing ethnic blocs themselves. Additionally, command saw "challenges" in training permanent residents as they lacked "respect towards women" peers and superiors.

A lot of people can't tell.
In Italy they have experts that judge the oil and give it a rating. after it starts to oxidize (go rancid) they call it lamp oil as it is unfit for consumption, but again, many people can not tell until it it really bad.

Most real oils will go rancid -- nuts too. "cooking oil" doesn't because of how it is processed to make it stable. That is part of the problem. Even fats -- I have had lard go rancid. It is still edible, just not as good. (I had two containers, one in fridge, and one out. The one in fridge was OK, but summer in Japan is very hot and about 85 or so and all my oils start to turn. comparing them it was obvious.

Understanding Evaporated Water vs. Distilled Water

Evaporated water is simply water that has transitioned from liquid to vapor form due to heat or reduced pressure. On its own, evaporated water is not a consumable product—it's a gaseous state of water, not something you can bottle or drink.

What people often mean by "evaporated water" is actually distilled water, which is produced by evaporating water and then condensing the vapor back into liquid form. This process removes impurities like salts, minerals, and contaminants, resulting in highly purified water. (cont'd)

209 Why Evaporated Water Isn't Sold

You cannot buy "evaporated water" because it’s not a stable or transportable form.
Gaseous water vapor cannot be stored or sold like bottled liquids. Even if captured, it would need to be condensed to become drinkable.

Moreover, the natural water cycle already involves evaporation and condensation, but the resulting rainwater often picks up pollutants from the atmosphere. So, rainwater or atmospheric vapor isn’t reliably safe to drink without treatment.

There's another two paragraphs but I'll spare you all.

One of the black wives was typically dem if there was a racial aspect to a candidate but another was as big an asshole as I am when it came to talking about liberals. She is the civic club pres. that serves after we left.*

We lived in three different neighborhoods over 43 years and blacks, hispanics, orientals, jews, etc. lived amongst the wypepo in every one.

* she and her black husband did not know the deed restrictions still contained the language that negros could live in out buildings for service staff only.

224 What people often mean by "evaporated water" is actually distilled water, which is produced by evaporating water and then condensing the vapor back into liquid form. This process removes impurities like salts, minerals, and contaminants, resulting in highly purified water. (cont'd)

all water was probably evaporated at some point, unless you just made it or something.

229 I don't think you can find just Condensed milk. it usually sweeten condensed milk.

Yes; people often abbreviation sweetened condensed milk to condensed milk, but they mean the same thing.(*)

Evaporated milk is milk with the water removed. (Sweetened) condensed milk is a more complicated process that adds a whole of of magic (i.e., sugar). Good stuff, but it’s not a replacement for milk in most cases.

*In her first, self-published, Joy of Cooking, Rombauer referred to evaporated milk as condensed milk throughout, which probably confused the hell out of her readers. This may have been a mistake on her part, or it may have been a regional (St. Louis or Missouri, perhaps) term.
