New in PJ Media:
The ruling party in America today operates on the basis of grievance. Various allegedly victimized groups all bring their pain and marginalization to the doorstep of the Democrat Party, which wisely and benignly confiscates the wealth of Americans and restricts their freedoms in various ways in order to appear to redress those grievances.
If, however, Americans have no grievances, the ruling party might rule no more, and so it needs to stoke a sense of aggrieved victimhood among the people wherever and whenever it possibly can. On Friday, alleged Vice President Kamala Harris did her part to make some people feel as if they had been treated unfairly by lying about women’s college basketball. Yes, really.
OutKick reported Friday that Harris, who was in Charlotte to announce that the Biden regime plans to squander $20 billion of your money on climate fantasies, digressed from the day’s theme of confiscatory socialism to whine about how terribly female college basketball players have been treated. Speaking about the NCAA women’s basketball tournament, Harris decided to demonstrate her superior knowledge of sports history, saying: “Do you know, a bit of a history lesson, that the women’s teams were not allowed to have brackets until 2022?”
At this, the befuddled and hapless reporter who was the recipient of Harris’ wisdom nodded in agreement. After all, what could he do? Say, “Madame Vice President, you don’t have the faintest idea of what you’re talking about”? Or maybe “Vice President Harris, not everything in the world has to be about racism or sexism or hatred of whatever new delusion or perversion you want us all to accept as perfectly normal”? Clearly, the poor devil decided (and who could blame him?) that it was best just to play along with Ms. Heartbeat Away, who could, after all, soon be able to sic Merrick Garland’s Gestapo on him if he dared to utter a dissenting word.
Harris, meanwhile, encountering no obstacles to her grievance agitprop, plowed on, adding: “Think about that. Talk about progress, better late than never. Because what that has done, how we love March Madness, and even just now allowing the women to have brackets and what that does to encourage people to talk about the women’s teams, to watch them, and now they’re being covered. This is the reality, people used to say ‘women’s sports, this isn’t interesting,’ well if you can’t see it, you won’t be. But when you see it, you realize, oh.”
All right, there’s a lot of twaddle, balderdash, and flapdoodle to untangle here, so let’s get started. A bracket, first of all, is simply a chart of the teams involved in the tournament. College basketball fans pick the teams they think are going to win, going from the first games down to the final game.
There is more. Read the rest here.

The only “balls” she has played with are not basketballs. How such a dim ball could be selected to be vice President incase the corpse in chief brakes his crown falling off his bike ,or the stage, or the stairs to anywhere is truthy scary ..
OLD GUY says
DEI Harris.
T.jefferson says
The reporters need to grow a pair and ask the tough questions and call idiots out when they make stupid or tyrannical statements!

I thought that a bracket was a special piece of basketball equipment that I had never heard about. Glad to read that there’s no such thing
SC says
Nope the bracket is mostly private, off the books, gambling for small groups. People choose to run a bracket. There are no external forces either forcing or preventing anyone creating bracket.

I am surprised that Kamala Harris did not talk about the Venn DIagram and talked something else. Americans should be proud to have such knowledgeable VP who could create a new history of basketball..
WPM says
A bag of hammers would make a better vice President then Harris ,at least a bag of hammers would not say stupid things and laugh at itself.

The salad fool is always trying to “educate” the people. ‘Those who can’t do, teach.’ And those who can’t teach, make up stuff and lie like cheap carpet.
In today’s news feed, there is the story about the new dei person at the state department and blinken was all agog about how she’s going to make things so much better for ‘women and poc.’ She is a black woman. Maybe some other things are checked off as well.
But, in the world of women’s sports….more and more males are *winning* what they couldn’t on men’s teams.
If these males were truly women at heart, they wouldn’t insist on playing where they are sure to win and taking legitimate wins away from women.
Soon, they will fill up all of the “brackets” and leave none for the women.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
To your point:
Women’s sports were created for a reason: for women to compete against other women.
And not trans “pretend” women – but REAL biological women.
Anyone who believes otherwise is delusional.
This position is pro-women – not transphobic.
