Sherman R. Frederick Properly Subversive/Sherman R. Frederick The No. 1 news gathering entity in the world, the Associated Press, calls Riley Gaines a “swimmer turned anti-trans athlete activist.” That description says more about the way AP sympathizes with trans athletes than it does Ms. Gaines’ activism, which I would say is far less aimed at trans athletes than it is at protecting women’s sports....

Sherman R. Frederick Sherman R. Fredrick/Properly Subversive I ask you, is it really plausible that between Joe Biden’s February 2024 physical in which he was proclaimed “fit for duty” to now being diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer that has spread to his bones? I’m saying “no,” both as a journalist and prostate cancer survivor myself. First, Mr. Biden and his team’s record on transparency is completely shot with new reporting that shows they hid his severe physical and cognitive decline from the beginning of his presidency....
