Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Greg Corombos of Radio America and David French of National Review applaud the Trump administration for rescinding Pres. Obama’s demand that all public schools embrace transgender accommodation and leaving the issue to states or local school districts. They also slam the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for ruling that any gun can be banned if it’s “useful for military service.” And David vents about the one of the worst trades in NBA history.

In re time stamp 9:20 did the fourth circuit really assert that you can fire with a semi-automatic weapon at a rate of 300 to 500 rounds per minute? I’m no gun expert but even I know that such an assertion is nonsense. If the fourth circuit majority opinion really included such a statement then we are witnessing not so much an example of judicial lawmaking as judicial gaslighting.
During my last years as a teacher I had a substitute sent to cover my classroom during the morning hours that I was required to attend a workshop. This particular individual was a transsexual man/woman in the process of change. To me, he/she looked like a Viking with boobs. He/she was over 6 ‘ tall, had broad shoulders, long blond hair, and a five o’clock shadow that I envied, not ever having a very heavy beard. Even though he/she was nowhere near the end of the process of change, he/she considered himself/herself a female. The only “feminine” attribute, as far as I could tell was the obvious protrusions from his/her chest.
Setting aside the rather awful effect the presence of this person had on my classroom of adolescent kids classified as Emotionally/Behaviorally Disabled, I am truly wondering what would have happened if Obama’s edict had been in place at that time and this individual felt that he/she could use the Women’s Room in the school building. I don’t know if this was an extreme case or simply run of the mill. I have only seen one such person in my long life. I do believe that Obama was absurd and/or totally ignorant in his decision to do this, and that President Trump has once again proven my opposition to him to be wrong-headed by correcting this absurdity.
Isn’t in direct conflict of Miller?
