Gov. Kay Ivey offers to 'fix' ESPN coverage of Alabama's new law keeping men out of women's sports



Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) ratified a bill Tuesday banning public colleges from permitting men to participate in women's sports and vice versa.

Ivey minced no words, saying, "Look, if you are a biological male, you are not going to be competing in women’s and girls’ sports in Alabama. It’s about fairness, plain and simple."

In their coverage of the ban, mainstream media outlets uniformly evidenced their captivity to LGBT activist speech codes, including USA Today, Fox News, and CNN, referring to the men prospectively banned from women's sports as "transgender women."

One particular write-up on the ban caught the governor's eye.

ESPN tweeted, "Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed legislation on Tuesday that will ban transgender women from playing on female sports teams in college."

The linked article similarly referred to those men now barred from competing in women's sports as "transgender women."

Governor Ivey weighed in on Twitter, retweeting ESPN with a correction.

"Let me fix that, @espn," wrote Ivey.

"Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed legislation on Tuesday that will ban biological MEN from playing on FEMALE sports teams in college."

Ivey's tweet was well received and widely circulated on the platform.

Just days after ESPN tweeted about the Alabama bill, the network hoisted the LGBT activist flag above its headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut — a flag that now includes colors representing the gender-dysphoric community.

The flag signaling the network's ideological capitulation does not, however, represent the views of all those at ESPN.

ESPN hosts Sage Steele and Samantha Ponder, both mothers of three children including daughters, have recently spoken out in support of keeping women's sports free of male interlopers.

Alabama's new law will certainly help in that regard.

House Bill 261 notes physical advantages held by men over women relevant to sports, such as "a larger body size with more skeletal mass, a lower percentage of body fat, and greater maximal delivery of anaerobic and aerobic energy than biological females. ... Even at young ages, biological males typically score higher than biological females on cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and speed and agility."

"On average, biological male athletes are bigger, faster, stronger, and more physically powerful than their biological female counterparts," added the legislation. "This results in a significant sports performance gap between the sexes."

Rep. Maxine Waters accuses Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey of 'plain racist ignorance' after Ivey says that people will have to 'learn Spanish' if Biden keeps sending illegal immigrants into states



Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) fired back after U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) decried the governor over a gubernatorial campaign ad.

Ivey, who is currently seeking re-election, issued a campaign ad in which she said that if President Joe Biden continues sending "illegal immigrants into our states" everyone will need to "learn Spanish."

"My message to Biden: No way Jose," Ivey declares in the ad.

During an appearance on MSNBC, Waters slammed the Alabama governor.

"This is plain racist ignorance in your face," the congresswoman declared. "We don't have time to deal with that kind of stupidity and that kind of ignorance."

Ivey responded: "There’s nothing racist with telling the truth about the disaster Joe Biden is causing with illegals invading our country. I’m not going to be lectured by a liberal Congresswoman from California. We’ll handle our business in Alabama."

There\u2019s nothing racist with telling the truth about the disaster Joe Biden is causing with illegals invading our country. I\u2019m not going to be lectured by a liberal Congresswoman from California. We\u2019ll handle our business in Alabama.https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/04/18/exclusive-al-gov-ivey-to-maxine-waters-im-not-going-to-be-lectured-by-a-liberal-congresswoman-from-california/\u00a0\u2026

The U.S. continues to face an ongoing massive influx of migrants along its southern border, a situation that many expect to worsen once the termination of a Title 42 order is implemented next month.

"In total, there were 221,303 encounters along the southwest land border in March, a 33 percent increase compared to February," according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. "Of those, 28 percent involved individuals who had at least one prior encounter in the previous 12 months, compared to an average one-year re-encounter rate of 14 percent for FY2014-2019."

Border security is a critical for public safety — CBP press releases frequently highlight the arrest of previously convicted, previously deported sex offenders who have unlawfully entered the country.

Inadequate border security also leaves the nation vulnerable to the possibility of terrorists sneaking into the country.

Last year, the Border Patrol nabbed multiple individuals named on the terror watchlist, Fox News reported, citing CBP data it obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request. The outlet reported that between Jan. 20 and Dec. 27 of last year, authorities had 23 encounters with people who had names that matched with the Terrorist Screening Database.

"Before the 9/11 attacks, there were several different terrorism watchlists, making it difficult to share information," according to the FBI. "The [Terrorist Screening Center] consolidated that into one federal terrorism watchlist. This watchlist has information on people reasonably suspected to be involved in terrorism (or related activities)."

Horowitz: Alabama Gov. Ivey bashing Biden after sounding like him on COVID



“It’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down.”

Who said that? Joe Biden or Anthony Fauci? Or perhaps someone like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul or California Gov. Gavin Newsom? But in fact, that was the statement of Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey at the end of July, after it was quite apparent the vaccines were leaky and non-sterilizing, not to mention extremely problematic with side effects.

The challenge we face in the coming weeks is a cadre of establishment Republicans who bought into the illogical, illegal, immoral, and inhumane COVID biomedical fascism to varying degrees suddenly trying to ingratiate themselves with conservative voters as if they were with us the entire time. Kay Ivey is now putting out clever ads bashing Joe Biden and proclaiming herself as “the most conservative” governor of Alabama.

It’s not that we don’t accept converts to the cause. It’s just that a true convert would zealously push legislation dealing with the remaining COVID fascist policies and also support measures to prevent this from happening in the future. Have you ever seen a religious convert who converts just enough to get over the threshold but yawns at the rest of the religious practice? Well, expect no different from these primary election foxhole conversions of red-state politicians.

At every level of the fight — whether it was lockdowns, masking, or the experimental injections — Gov. Ivey bought into the full Fauci narrative and effectively converted Alabama into a blue state. Children were going masked in the state for months on end, especially in the major cities. She refused to call a special session to deal with any of the problems and Biden’s mandates. The reason? She was on the other side.

As late as March 22, 2021, nearly a year after basic reality discredited the efficacy of masks, Ivey was still pushing them on businesses and encouraging rather than banning them from local schools. “After April 9, masks will no longer be a mandate, but they remain one of the most successful tools we have to keep folks safe from COVID-19,” Gov. Ivey said in a statement. “I hope these are helpful to businesses around the state as they set their own protocols to operate safely. Masks are soon to be a memory, but until then, let’s wear them out!”

Thus, all the cultural problems we are dealing with to this very day are because of policies governors like Ivey pushed month after month, regardless of the legal, scientific, or human rationale and with no regard for the consequences. Masks are being pushed in Birmingham schools to this day, and some even went to remote learningthis January. Ivey has not lifted a finger to fight them like DeSantis did with some Florida schools.

The governor even closed the beaches in the spring of 2020, still believing there was outdoor transmission and denying the benefits of being out in the sun. She kept lockdowns going longer than other southern states. A year later, rather than affirming the illegal, inhumane, and ineffective nature of these policies and instead promoting early treatment, she declared, “Truly, this vaccine is our ticket back to normal life.” Again, agreeing to the premise that somehow our liberties should be tethered to the success of a private product.

It’s one thing to publicly admit that you were hoodwinked and come clean by pushing an aggressive agenda to codify prohibitions on lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates in the state’s constitution. But Ivey has offered zero support for anything that will help combat the residual effects of the existing biomedical tyranny, much less inoculate her state from repeating the same mistakes again. There appears to be no appetite in the legislature to address issues, such as pharmacists in Alabama denying ivermectin prescriptions, and the governor sure doesn’t seem to care.

Yet, now that several candidates have filed to run in the May 24 gubernatorial primary, Ivey is proclaiming herself to be the “most conservative” governor and the ultimate anti-Biden Republican. Except that she was actually promoting the illogical, inaccurate, and illegal COVID policies before Biden even championed them.

This is the predicament facing Republican primary voters in many red states. All these governors will try to bash Biden and align themselves with people like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in order to stave off primary challenges. Voters must not allow themselves to be afflicted with political amnesia. And the best way to see through the fog of their aggressive rhetoric is to verify whether they are even pushing back on all aspects of the Pfizer agenda today – or just using cheap rhetoric to draw a lifeline for the next election.
