Former NBA first-round pick and Minnesota Republican U.S. Senate candidate Royce White is taking his mockery of the WNBA’s incoherent gender policies to the next level.

The 6-foot-8, 35-year-old is now testing out a blonde wig and declaring he’s entered his “feminine era” as he prepares for the 2027 WNBA Draft.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday that White announced he has plans to enter the WNBA draft.

“As I stated a few days ago, I am declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft,” said former NBA player and current Republican Senate candidate in Minnesota, Royce White.

“I identify as a sometimes identifying transgender woman! My wig is in the mail,” he said.

Royce White said he will pursue legal action if the WNBA denies his bid.

“I have to file a discrimination lawsuit, right? I mean, that’s, that’s ridiculous,” Royce White said. “We’re gonna have to have a huge legal battle about discrimination if I can’t play.”

In a post on X Sunday, White shared a photo of himself sporting the new hairpiece while still rocking a full beard.

It came y’all… My 1st wig! Tomorrow I test it on the court. This is my feminine era glow up, did I slay? If y’all don’t “yassss queen” you’re transphobic. I really don’t understand all the hatred, I just want to play some hoops with my fellow ladies.

On the same day, Royce White joined Fox News to discuss his bid for a starting slot in the WNBA, arguing that until the league can “define the W in the name,” they should let him and other male basketball stars play.

White began by trolling the transgender insanity, telling Fox’s Griff Jenkins, “Right now, I’m just having a blast in my feminine era. I never thought that I was a woman.”

“You know, I’ve always trusted the science, and I thought I was a man my entire life. But you know, after further review, you know, a strong look at my personal preferences, it would appear that I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman,” he continued. “And I think it’s only fair I get a chance to play with some of my queens here in the twilight of my career, my athletic prime.”

On a more serious note, White told Jenkins, “It’s just astounding that the WNBA can’t define the W in the name, and I think we’re going through a very necessary conversation about who’s actually eligible to play in some of these professional sports leagues, I guess, on both sides of the gender spectrum.”

“But my goal is to help elevate the WNBA. I think the ticket prices and the attendance, you know, will soar. I think the audience, the live audience, will increase, and I think ultimately it’s good for the game. It’s going to help evolve the game,” he argued.

White further said that Enes Kanter Freedom and Lebron James, when he “wakes up one day and realizes he’s a you know a woman as well,” should be allowed to play.

On Sunday evening, Democrat Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur who is running for reelection for her 23rd term, provided an update after being injured in a car crash.

Rep. Kaptur was hospitalized last Sunday after a hit-and-run car crash in Toledo, Ohio.

The 80-year-old Ohio lawmaker was on her way to church when a vehicle crashed into her car.

According to WKYC, the driver of the other vehicle fled the scene.

“The crash was described by police as a “hit-skip.” A witness told WTOL 11 that the other driver was picked up by another vehicle and fled the scene shortly after the crash,” the outlet reported.

Rep. Kaptur, who was a passenger in the car at the time of the crash, was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Full statement from Rep. Kaptur’s office last week:

This morning Congresswoman Kaptur was a passenger in a vehicle on her way to a church service when the car she was traveling in was struck.

She is active, alert, and being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

We look forward to additional information from Toledo Police as they investigate the accident.

Congresswoman Kaptur is thankful for the quick actions of first responders from Toledo Police and Fire Departments who arrived promptly on scene, and the medical professionals helping to take care of those involved in the crash.

She expressed her deep gratitude to the hundreds of constituents who have reached out and looks forward to returning to a full schedule soon.

A week after the car crash, Rep. Kaptur provided a health update.

The Ohio Democrat said she is entering a rehabilitation center.

In the meantime, Ohio Republicans are working to unseat Kaptur.

“As I move to physical rehabilitation, sharing a message with the thousands who shared good wishes from our community, across our region, our country, and around the world. It’s made a huge difference in my very rapid recovery. Each of you continue to uplift my spirit as we move forward. Thank you!” Kaptur said.

The post 80-Year-Old Democrat Rep Running for Reelection Provides Update After Being Hospitalized in Hit-and-Run Crash (VIDEO) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Formed in July 2020, the Election Integrity Project or EIP project was created to silence voices supposedly reporting election misinformation. It was a partnership involving numerous leftist organizations and our government. They used a “ticket” system to log news articles or social posts they wanted taken down.

TGP obtained 558 internal project “tickets” logged from September into November of 2020. During this 6-week span, The Gateway Pundit was the most targeted with 24 tickets.

First, an analogy might be helpful.

When your internet service goes down, you contact your provider. They create a “service ticket” in their help desk software. They provide phone support or maybe dispatch a technician. Each action is logged in the system. The ticket is closed when the problem is resolved.

This group of election truth overlords called the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) operated the same way. They used Atlassian Jira Service Desk software as their central ticketing system. All the partners would submit “misinformation tips” to EIP.

Many partners had direct access to the Jira software to collaborate and help discredit content. Others would use the EIP tip line or send emails. EIP had ties to the intelligence community and held weekly meetings to solicit journalists to participate.

EIP’s goal was to get social media outlets to take down content or apply labels like “Disputed, might be misleading”. The tickets often mention “limit reach” or “reduce spread”. Labels can trigger throttling, which prevents others from seeing or sharing the content. The “reach” of each story was tracked.

Requests first flowed to roughly 30 students at the Stanford Internet Observatory.

These kids created the EIP tickets and initial investigation. Overall, 50 people at Stanford were involved. This entire EIP idea came from four of them working as interns at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

Ticket EIP-605: TGP reported that a GOP poll watcher was denied entry in Philadelphia. The video & audio prove he showed his court order. We also posted the court document granting him access. Yet, it was still ticketed as misinfo.

But EIP also needed people to proactively review content. This included content from news outlets, pundits, actors, and politicians on the right. For this help, EIP partnered with the retirement association AARP.

Retired adults from the Washington chapter of AARP were trained to be “Factcheck Ambassadors”. The state of Washington is a Democrat stronghold with twice as many DEM voters as Republican. So you can safely assume these “Ambassadors” were primarily leftists.

The Center For an Informed Public (CIP) ran this “Ambassador” program for AARP. CIP is a Seattle research center and part of the University of Washington, in Mary Gates Hall. It was created in 2019 to “resist misinformation”. This university played a significant role in EIP, especially with news outlets.

Once a ticket was created, partners including Graphika, DFRLab and others worked to discredit the content or change the narrative. The Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) is the research unit of the leftist think tank Atlantic Council. But not all content was checked.

In January 2023, the U.S. House of Representatives created the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. Throughout 2023, Stanford refused to supply the Jira tickets to them, even when subpoenaed. Only when threatened with contempt proceedings did they comply.

The Committee published a four-part 17,000-page report in late 2024. They list numerous examples where EIP takedown requests were made without checking if the story was incorrect. Ticket EIP-713 targeted TGP and said, “We are sending this to you quickly as we likely won’t be able to figure out a fact-check here”.

Report Part 3 says, “The approach demonstrated in these and other tickets makes clear EIP’s focus was not about the truth, but the advancement of viewpoint-based discrimination.

The report also said, “Tickets had no justification for reporting the content other than CISA’s and the EIP’s own political agenda.” (pg. 76)

The 558 “Jira tickets” from the Weaponization Committee, the 24 TGP tickets, and the comments transcription are posted below.

Note: The NYTimes is mentioned often, but never for misinfo status. It was used for fact-checking, background reporting, or an example of mainstream coverage. This was clearly a government apparatus to eliminate and reduce news that did not agree with the party line.

Alex Stamos and CIS are the only two names listed as creating requests targeting TGP. The names on the other 22 TGP tickets are redacted. Stamos left Facebook in 2018 as their Chief Security Officer and founded the Stanford Internet Observatory in 2019. Stamos left in 2024 for SentinelOne, then Corridor, and is still an adjunct Stanford professor. 

After the November 2020 election, the EIP election project was temporarily closed. In early 2021, with some new partners, the Stanford Internet Observatory was rebranded as the Virality Project. This was real-time monitoring of social media to identify and stop COVID “misinformation” or reports they disagreed with.

The EIP project was brought back for the 2022 election cycle and terminated afterward. The RNC declined to participate in EIP. Maybe they could have learned something, or obtained competitor insight if they did.

These projects didn’t just target news outlets, actors, or politicians. It also targeted everyday people who posted content they felt was truthful and important. In fact, the project had real-time access to 50 million COVID-related tweets per day.

Because of the House Weaponization Committee’s work, the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO) shut itself down in 2024. The negative press, lawsuits, and proof they undermined free expression were just too much.

The SIU’s demise was a result of a string of efforts including the Murthy v. Missouri Supreme Court lawsuit that this website, The Gateway Pundit, was the lead plaintiff.

Not once did the EIP project contact TGP to discuss published articles. They wanted to silence entities without them knowing. A project like this, even 20 years ago, would have been laughed out of this country. We are glad it is gone…for now!

On Saturday, during the Indianapolis Fever-Chicago Sky game controversial player DiJonai Carrington made headlines after she brutally assaulted Fever star Sophie Cunningham during her breakaway layup.

It is obvious from the film that Carrington did not go for the ball. She was aiming for Cunningham’s head and neck.

If this would have happened on a street corner Carrington would be arrested on assault charges.

Carrington was ejected from the game but she was not sorry for her blatant assault. She tweeted out “White Privilege” as if she was somehow the victim of her own violence!

After the game the screwball coach for the Fever, Stephanie White, who has a horrible record on and off the court, weighed in on the assault.

The Lt. Governor of Indiana, Micah Beckwith, commented on Fever coach Stephanie White’s defense of DiJonai Carrington after the assault on the court on Saturday.

Lt. Governor Beckworth is calling on Stephanie White to resign.

Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith: Ok… The @IndianaFever need to let Stephanie White go. No solid coach would ever take the side of the opposing team’s player who committed a flagrant foul on one of your own players. Terrible coaching!

The Fever need to defend their players.

That is just crazy.

She really needs to go.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) joined CNN on Sunday morning where the discussion quickly went to radical Islam in America.

Mace went off on the Islamic threat facing America today, something that was brought into focus with the recent slew of Islamo-communists running for office across America.

Mace was well prepared and did not this Islamic apologist get away with his typical CNN nonsense.

You gotta love how Rep. Mace is always prepared and is not your typical GOP doormat.

Nancy Mace:  Hamdani campaigned with an unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombings. You have Abdul al-Sayed, who was campaigning with Hassan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11.

Omar Jimenez:  Yes, we should be very concerned about— He said he regretted those comments, but I take your point.

Nancy Mace:  But that believe in this radical Islam ideology where women are covered head to toe, it’s very oppressive, where we’ve seen grooming gangs over in…

Omar Jimenez:  But Congresswoman, there’s no indication that Mayor Mamdani has brought any of those ideals to New York City governance, or that just being Muslim allows you, brings those in.

Nancy Mace:  I am deeply concerned about Michigan Democrats nominating a guy hanging out with Assan Piker, Who said America deserved 9/11, who has a framed photo of the Twin Towers.

Omar Jimenez (defending America-hating Islamist Hasan Piker):  Which he’s responded to and says he regrets those comments, but yes, keep going.

Nancy Mace:  Yeah, but I mean, this is who he’s hanging out with, this kind of person who’s promoting, you know, communist ideology. This is not something— America’s not built on those values. And in the future, when our granddaughters are wearing burqas to school, we’re gonna look back and say, f*ck this guy…

Omar Jimenez:  There’s no indication that that is happening on a wide basis. Folks that are getting into office— I mean, did you see the parade in Chicago today?

Nancy Mace:  You’ve seen Dearborn in Dearborn, Michigan?

Omar Jimenez:  An expression of culture, Congresswoman, is different than a blanket city policy.

Nancy Mace: …I think this is a conversation that we have to have. What are our values and what do they look like? I don’t want to hear the call to prayer 5 times a day in an American city.

Omar Jimenez:  If you don’t want to hear it, that’s okay. The First Amendment protects from freedom of religion. If you don’t want to hear it, Fine. You know, I grew up in a Christian household. I grew up in the South. Islam is not my religion, but I have Muslim friends who, if that is how they worship, even if I don’t want to hear it, that is their right to hear.

Nancy Mace:   In the privacy of their own mosque or their own home, not on the streets of America. I think that we’re speaking a very different vibe here. If it’s an expression. We shouldn’t be having that kind of thing going on. And if you look at the parades that are happening, I look at the women who are covered head to toe with little slits for their eyes. As a woman, that’s scary. You’re not being…

Omar Jimenez:  That’s not being forced on you, Congresswoman. But that’s not being forced on you to do, Congresswoman. It’s not happening at a congressional legal level.

Nancy Mace:  A 6-year-old girl doesn’t get a say on whether she should wear a hijab or not.

Via Eric Daugherty:

JUST IN: Rep. Nancy Mace GOES OFF on the Islamic invasion to this CNN host’s face, saying that if Islamism spreads nationwide, “our granddaughters will be wearing BURKAS to school!”
