Happy Tuesday! If you missed last evening’s special “Biden Blend,” you can catch it at “Evening Brew Bonus: A Biden Blend.” But if you’re ready for fresh Morning Brew, let’s get to it. Donald Trump: “I Never Admitted Defeat”A big splash Monday from former President Donald Trump. In an interview on Real America’s Voice, Trump declared that he “never admitted defeat,” he has “not conceded.” He also said again he’s “disappointed” Vice President Mike Pence did not toss the electors from dubious swing states back to the state legislatures. “I think you would have found that you might very well have a different president right now had he sent 'em back." However, the statement that’ll send media and Democrats heads exploding, is Trump’s response to the idea he would be reinstated, if widespread fraud is proven. “If the election was fraudulent, people are gonna have to make up their own minds,” he said. “It's not gonna be up to me. It's gonna be up to the public. It's gonna be up to, perhaps, politicians. I don't think there's ever been a case like this where hundreds of thousands of votes will be found.” Incidentally, Joe Biden had only one minor meeting Monday on his schedule. If Joe’s not going to use the Oval Office, why not just let Trump sublet it? Transgender Weightlifter Heading to OlympicsNew Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard is set to become the first transgender athlete to compete in the Olympic Games. Hubbard used to compete in men’s events, but will be going to Tokyo competing as a woman. How? Because Hubbard’s early May testosterone levels fell below the threshold required by the International Olympic Committee. New Zealand Herald describes Hubbard as a “genuine medal hopeful.” You think? Of course, there’s no guarantee the weightlifter will medal, but there’s no guarantee you hit a homerun with a corked bat either. The newspaper did note that “recent studies suggest transgender women maintain an athletic advantage over their cisgender peers even after a year on hormone therapy.” Last month Belgian weightlifter Vanbellinghen released a powerful, thoughtful statement, saying letting biological men compete against women “feels like a bad joke.” “Life-changing opportunities are missed for some athletes — medals and Olympic qualifications — and we are powerless.” Huh? US Military Base Hosts Its First Drag Queen Show?As if those weird recruitment ads using cartoons and astrology weren’t enough: “Exclusive — Nellis Air Force Base Hosts First-Ever Drag Queen Show: ‘Essential to the Morale, Readiness." This is not the Babylon Bee. It’s from Breitbart. According to the digital flier, the event was called “DRAG-U-NELLI.” Nellis AFB told Breitbart: “The event was sponsored by a private organization and provided an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the history and significance of drag performance art within the LGBT+ community. Ensuring our ranks reflect and are inclusive of the American people is essential to the morale, cohesion, and readiness of the military.” I don’t care how much you love sequins and wigs. How does a drag queen show help ready the Air Force to combat China, Russia or Iran? Along the The StreamEver have a father figure who steps up with an unforgettable lesson? Meet one of mine in "The Day I Wasn't Teased by My Girlfriend's Father." Also, just up this morning, The Stream's Tom Gilson asks "Does Anybody Really Know What Critical Race Theory Is?" |
