Andrew Tate and progressive culture both get masculinity wrong. The third way.

 While the WNBA struggles to define the word woman, politicians can’t figure out masculinity. The campaign ad “Man Enough” failed to guilt men into voting for President Kamala Harris. Even “White Dudes for Harris” couldn’t stop Donald Trump from returning to the Oval Office with 55% of the male vote. As both major parties now battle for the midterms, their manhood playing cards are on the table.

James Talarico is a seminarian candidate for Senate in Texas, complete with a 50’s-style haircut. Despite his choirboy exterior, he believes “God is non-binary.” His love of “trans children” is second only to family. With ads of eating barbecued meat and driving a pickup truck, Talaico is trying to put political hair on his chest by appealing to masculine traditions in the Lone Star State. Graham Platner looked the part in Maine, but his gruff exterior couldn’t hide a steady stream of female abuse scandals.

The “manosphere” of the political right isn’t much better. Andrew and Tristan Tate built a following among young men who are tired of the emasculating politics from the Left. These youth know the culture is stigmatizing their male potential. Unfortunately, the Tate brothers replace political victimhood with brutish vanity. This isn’t the kind of “masculinity” young men need.

While drag shows and pride parades destroy male virtue, Atilla the Hun isn’t the solution. Neither respects women. Must we choose between two harmful models? Perhaps we've lost a better third way: the biblical standard. It’s not a compromise or a middle ground; it’s everything missing from the other two. Let’s consider three characteristics of biblical masculinity.

Andrew Tate, the Left both get masculinity wrong. The third way.

WNBA says security was wrong for telling fans to cover shirts opposing men in women's sports

 The WNBA and one of its teams say security officials were wrong to tell fans to cover their shirts expressing opposition to trans-identified men competing in women's sports. 

In a video posted on X Sunday, YouTube personality Adam Francisco spoke with a mother and daughter who were attending a WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and the Indiana Fever.

"We were made to cover up our XX-XY shirts at this game," the mother said. XX-XY Athletics is an apparel company known for its outspoken opposition to trans-identified male athletes competing in women's sports. 

"They gave us T-shirts during overtime and told us we had to leave or cover our shirts," the mother added. Both the Atlanta Dream and the WNBA released statements weighing in on the controversy following backlash. 

"The Atlanta Dream believes in creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone.  Unfortunately, at last night's game, WNBA security took actions that fell short of that standard.  At no point was Dream personnel involved in the decisions made by WNBA security," the team stated in a message posted on social media Monday. 

The Atlanta Dream's PR account also shared a statement from the WNBA, which acknowledged that "The WNBA is aware of interactions at last night's game in Atlanta in which fans were asked by league security to cover their shirts" while insisting that "This should not have happened."

The mother-daughter duo said they paid $1,000 for their seats to show support for Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham.

Chinese Communist Party-backed exchange program is infiltrating American schools, report warns

 China is influencing American K-12 classrooms and universities to shape how Americans view the country, according to a report by the watchdog group Defending Education.

Defending Education released its report "Little Red Classrooms" Thursday, stating that at least 83 universities and 26 K-12 schools across 30 states have participated in China's Young Envoys Scholarship (YES) program.

The YES program is run by the China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE), which facilitates study abroad opportunities for American youth “to deepen and expand cross-cultural understanding among countries.”

“These aren’t just cultural trips," Reagan Dugan, director of the education initiative at Defending Education, told The Christian Post. "They’re an integral part of China’s broader soft power strategy aimed at infiltrating America’s classrooms."

According to the report, CEAIE states on its Chinese website that it is guided by “Marxism-Leninism” and "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism" and must “always adhere to the leadership of the Party and integrate the Party’s work into the entire process of the association’s operation and development.”

Dugan noted that federal pressure resulted in the closure of Confucius Institutes “after Congress saw what they were.”

The devil’s socialists: Karl Marx and the DSA

 I’ve been patiently waiting for sensibility to prevail in the current wave of elections that has bubbled to the top avowed communists who openly reveal their anti-America agenda. “Surely this will be the last one,” I think. But the wave continues, most recently with the crowning of Abdul El-Sayed, who won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Michigan by racking up impressive margins in progressive pockets and university settings (shocking!)

Heck, even Francesca Hong, the openly democratic socialist candidate for governor in Wisconsin, who campaigned on public grocery stores and a 17% state income tax, just narrowly lost, by about 4,000 ballots, to Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. Thankfully, Thanksgiving came early this year to Wisconsin (ha, get it, Francesca?) But that’s too close for comfort.
