There are certain things that would be a good thing to have. I want them all to be successful." 4:15pm- Nearly a decade later, Hillary Clinton still thinks the results of the 2016 presidential election may not be legitimate—noting, it's “why we still litigate the election.” Who the heck is still “litigating” the 2016 election (aside from her)? 4:20pm- Following Friday's summit in Alaska, Russian President Vladimir Putin hinted that he would not have invaded Ukraine in 2022 had Donald Trump been president of the United States instead of Joe Biden. 4:30pm- In a post to social media, Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity announced she will run for Governor of Pennsylvania—challenging incumbent Josh Shapiro.

Plus, Maldonado reacts to a recently resurfaced clip of Newsom from 2011 where he discusses his plan to make California great again. 5:20pm- In a bizarre video he voluntarily posted to social media, former FBI Director James Comey went into great detail about how much he loves Taylor Swift and her music. He's even in a Taylor Swift fan group text! 5:40pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his call for the “Trump administration to investigate what it suspects is a coordinated ‘national lawfare campaign' by left-wing climate activists aimed at influencing thousands of judges on how to approach climate litigation.” 6:05pm- Prior to Monday's multilateral meeting at the White House, President Donald Trump was caught on a hot mic telling Emmanuel Macron: “I think [Vladimir Putin] wants to make a deal for me, you understand that?

This week on The Lisa Burke Show, a powerhouse panel of experts explored Europe's precarious position in the new space race, urging urgent action to reclaim leadership through innovation, unity, and sovereign ambition. We began this week's episode of The Lisa Burke Show with Sasha Kehoe's round-up of global news. From the diplomatic unease surrounding Donald Trump's controversial allegations against South Africa, to critical updates on humanitarian aid delays in Gaza and Luxembourg's shifting pension policies. The segment also touched on CargoLux's heartwarming mission rescuing two brown bears, and the growing geopolitical stature of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni internationally.  Europe's place in the Space Economy François Leproux has just published his second book on space: 'La nouvelle conquête spatiale: quelle place pour l'Europe face au NewSpace?', and he brought a passionate perspective on why Europe must reclaim ambition in crewed spaceflight. A space engineer and author, François is building on his first book about the Hermes shuttle. He believes that Europe has the technical foundation, through Ariane rockets, industrial expertise, and past collaborations on the ISS, to lead independently. Yet without a sovereign crewed space program, François warns that Europe risks becoming irrelevant in the geopolitical narrative of space exploration. His call is urgent: invest in autonomy, unify internally, and inspire a new generation with human-led missions. Joining us online from Paris, Aurélie Bressollette, CEO of Latitude, offered a commercial lens on the space economy. With a formidable background at Airbus, OHB, and Redwire, Aurélie now leads a company pioneering dedicated satellite launch services. She debunked the myth of cost-per-kilo dominance by SpaceX, advocating instead for an ‘Uber-to-the-stars' solution that prioritises mission specificity over brute launch mass. Her view: Europe's competitive edge lies not just in technology, but in agility, customer responsiveness, and institutional backing that can support nimble NewSpace players. With strategic orbits like sun-synchronous within reach, her optimism is grounded in engineering reality. Dr. Laetitia Cesari completed our stellar panel with her legal and policy insight into outer space governance. A practitioner and researcher with expertise in cybersecurity, in-orbit servicing, and the upcoming EU Space Act, Laetitia emphasised the complexity of coordinating Europe's multi-layered space apparatus. ESA, the EU, and national agencies must align more efficiently, she said, if Europe is to compete with faster-moving powers. Defense, though historically out of ESA's remit, is now tightly interwoven with space policy, as satellites become essential for secure communication and surveillance. Laetitia's insights highlighted how law and policy are not just supporting acts, but mission-critical elements. Whether through political will, commercial innovation, or regulatory harmonisation, the message was clear: Europe has the tools and must now use them strategically. The ISS is nearing retirement, Artemis is Moon-bound, and commercial stations are on the horizon. If Europe doesn't step up, it risks becoming a subcontractor in a future it should be helping to lead.

It's Monday, April 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus New law criminalizes praying with someone about gender, sexuality identity On April 4, the Australian state of New South Wales began enforcing a new law criminalizing anti-conversion therapy, which now includes praying with someone about their gender or sexual identity and even encouraging abstinence for homosexual Christians, reports International Christian Concern. On the website “Anti-Discrimination New South Wales,” a government body that administers and investigates anti-discrimination, they note that “praying with or over a person with the intent to change or suppress their sexuality or gender identify is unlawful … even if that person has asked you to pray for them to be able to change or suppress their sexuality or gender identity.”  The law – known as the New South Wales's Conversion Practices Ban Act 2024 -- is part of a trend of laws that seek to outlaw so-called “conversion therapy,” the clinical practice of helping someone embrace their God-given sexuality and gender. What makes the law different is how broadly “conversion therapy” is defined beyond a traditional clinical setting.   In an interview with The Washington Stand, Arielle Del Turco, director of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Family Research Council, said, “This is a terrible new law in this Australian state, and they aren't even trying to hide it. According to the state government's own admission from their website, this law will prevent a pastor or any believer from praying with someone who is asking for prayer for freedom from gender identity issues.”  Genesis 1:27 says, "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Italy's top court scraps ‘mother' and ‘father' on ID cards Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation has restored the use of “Parent 1” and “Parent 2” on Italian ID cards because it deemed that calling parents ‘father' and ‘mother' is discriminatory against homosexual couples, reports the European Conservative. To her credit, conservative Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had announced the return of the terms “father” and “mother” on identity documents back in 2023. Supreme Court blocks deportation of illegal Venezuelans On Saturday, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting an unspecified number of illegal Venezuelan men, currently in immigration custody, who are alleged to be members of a criminal gang, reports The Epoch Times. The order was issued after the American Civil Liberties Union filed an emergency request on behalf of its Venezuelan clients late on April 18 asking the Supreme Court to immediately block the Trump administration from deporting the clients. On March 14th, President Donald Trump signed Proclamation 10903, in which he officially declared that Tren de Aragua, a designated foreign terrorist organization, “is perpetrating, attempting, and threatening an invasion or predatory incursion against the territory of the United States.” The president invoked the Alien Enemies Act to authorize the “immediate apprehension, detention, and removal” of members of the group who are Venezuelan citizens 14 years of age or older and who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States. Democrats want to visit El Salvador's prison housing deported illegals Democrats in both chambers of Congress are working to organize delegations to El Salvador to see the prison where President Trump is sending these violent illegal immigrants. Initially, El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele built the prison in 2022 as part of a response to surging gang violence in El Salvador, according to National Public Radio. Each cell can fit 65 to 70 prisoners, and the prison has a capacity of 40,000 inmates.  Trump asked Bukele to build five identically-sized prisons to receive more violent illegal immigrants from America. The deported Venezuelan illegals are living in the same conditions as convicted gangsters. Democrat Representatives Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) as well as Democrat Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) are the politicians who want to fly to El Salvador. However, House Homeland Security Committee chair Mark Green, a Republican from Tennessee, said he wouldn't grant their request, reports Axios. CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings explained that this kind of move by the Democrats is why they only have a 21% approval rating by the American public. JENNINGS: “First of all, I'm more than happy to hear the Congressman say they're all going to El Salvador. I think for Republicans, this just confirms what we have believed about the Democratic Party and why it currently has a 21% approval rating in Congress. “Look where the energy in the Democratic Party is. It's around retrieving illegal aliens from El Salvador. It's around fighting for these college campuses that have been rife with anti semitism. It's around biological males who want to play in girls' sports. “This is why they are losing to Donald Trump every day, because the energy that Democrats feel comes on all these issues that are fundamentally not where the American people are.” Rahm Emmanuel wants to run for President In the world of politics, Democrat Rahm Emanuel has done a lot. Not only did he serve as President Bill Clinton's Senior Advisor for policy and strategy and as U.S. Congressman from Illinois for three terms, but Emmauel was President Barack Obama's White House Chief of Staff, served as mayor of Chicago, and most recently was the United States ambassador to Japan. Now, Rahm Emmanuel wants to be president. In a recent speech, he said, “I am done with the discussion of locker rooms. I am done with the discussion of bathrooms. We better start having a conversation about the classroom,” drawing applause as he alluded to a new study showing more than two-thirds of eighth graders can't read at grade level. Texas House greenlights $210 million to support pregnant women To hear it from abortion activists, pro-life Americans don't care about women and children – especially after banning abortions. But in the state of Texas that notion is totally false, reports LifeNews. On April 11th, Texas lawmakers gave preliminary approval to $210 million in support for pregnant moms. Texas Right to Life explained, “The Texas House voted to fully fund life-saving nonprofits at $210 million in the Thriving Texas Families program. These providers help mothers choose Life by offering baby materials (like diapers and formula), counseling, and job skills training. This victory isn't about dollars. It's about the children and families rescued from abortion.” Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, April 21st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

In a recent Oval Office meeting, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sat across from Donald Trump as part of a European Union effort to navigate the ongoing trade turbulence. The meeting was cordial enough. Meloni emphasized transatlantic unity and expressed hope for deeper economic collaboration. Trump, however, was unmoved. He praised Meloni personally, but made his stance clear: the U.S. is not in a rush to finalize trade deals. According to him, tariffs are “making the United States rich,” and other countries want deals more than he does.This exchange happened during the 90-day pause in Trump's Liberation Day tariffs — a moment intended, at least in theory, to give global leaders time to negotiate. But what the meeting really signaled is that Trump views this pause as leverage, not compromise. Yes, he did lower EU import tariffs from 20% to 10%, but that move was largely a reaction to bond market jitters. When it comes to negotiating with Europe, he's staying firm.Meloni's presence is notable. She's a controversial figure in Europe — once derided by the American press as a far-right nationalist and compared to Mussolini. But in this moment, she's being positioned as the EU's Trump whisperer. She attended Trump's inauguration. He's reportedly fond of her. He even accepted an invitation to visit Rome. But none of that moved the needle in this meeting.What Trump wants is access to European markets. But in European politics, protectionism isn't just a policy — it's a survival tactic. Leaders there know that anything perceived as selling out local interests could cost them their jobs. Italy, for example, has a trade surplus with the U.S., not because of anything shady, but because Americans genuinely love Italian exports: high-end fashion, food, luxury goods. We buy a lot from them. They don't buy much from us. That's not an imbalance that tariffs alone can fix.So the real question is: what happens next? Trump has all but said he's happy to wait everyone out. That leaves European economies in a holding pattern. It leaves small and medium U.S. businesses — especially those tangled up in international supply chains — in limbo. And it leaves Meloni with the unenviable job of being the friendly face of a negotiation that isn't really moving.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:13 - Interview with Gabe Fleisher00:23:00 - Update00:23:36 - Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's Visit00:27:44 - Birthright Citizenship Arguments00:30:05 - FSU Shooting00:31:47 - Interview with Gabe Fleisher, con't00:59:13 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the United States may “move on” from trying to secure a Russia–Ukraine peace deal if there is no progress in the coming days. “It's not our war,” Rubio said. “We have other priorities to focus on.” He said the U.S. government will decide its course “in a matter of days.”More than 10,000 pages of previously classified government records related to the 1968 assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy were released by the Trump administration on Friday.

We speak to the chair of the European Parliament's delegation for relations with the United States: Italian politician Brando Benifei. He recently led a group of MEPs to the US to meet members of the US Congress and other players in a bid to de-escalate the trade crisis between Washington and Brussels. He talks of the probability of a negotiated solution, and comments on the complicated political relationship between the US president and the EU – as evidenced by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's tightrope act when she was hosted by Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday.

President Donald Trump on Thursday at the White House greeted Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a close ally who wants to act as a power broker between Washington and Europe amid tensions over U.S tariffs.Alphabet's Google illegally dominated two markets for online advertising technology, a judge ruled on Thursday.European and Ukrainian officials held talks in Paris to plead Kyiv's case to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff.

Two people have been reported dead and at least six injured following a shooting at Florida State University. Police say the suspect—the 20-year-old son of a sheriff's deputy—is in custody. President Donald Trump responded to the news today, calling it a "terrible" thing, and stating, “the gun doesn't do the shooting, the people do.”Trump revealed that the United States and China are actively in talks amid escalating tariffs. He promised a trade deal with Europe, as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni became the first European leader to visit the White House since the start of the reciprocal tariffs.As U.S. officials hold peace negotiations in Europe, fighting between Russia and Ukraine continues. Trump says Russia is expected to respond to a cease-fire proposal this week. He also noted that the United States and Ukraine could sign a critical minerals deal as early as next week.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is in Washington to meet with Donald Trump, a visit that puts her in a delicate position, as she tries to balance the interests of the European Union while staying in the good graces of the U.S. president.To dig a bit deeper into what this visit means for Europe, but mostly for Italy and Giorgia Meloni's political strategy, I'm joined by David Carretta, journalist for Radio Radicale, Il Foglio, and the newsletter Il Mattinale Europeo.Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Musk, Zuckerberg and Vance have stomped into the EU's canteen, overturned the tables, smashed the glasses, and drawn their pistols. They are scanning a crowd of bewildered Eurocrats and asking menacingly: who really wants a fight over what belongs online? It wasn't meant to be this way. Three years ago the EU agreed a landmark law, the Digital Services Act, or DSA. Hopes were high that hate speech, content that harms minors — as well as fake news and weaponised social media — could be reined in. The biggest platforms would be fined up to 6 percent of global annual turnover if they failed to deal with issues like election interference that amount to a systemic risk. Since then the transatlantic far right has stepped up a campaign to discredit the EU's rules, and often in fanatical terms. Under this new form of McCarthyism, any impediment to online expression is branded as a form of censorship. That is patently absurd. Bans on speech linked to the Nazi period have been in place in parts of Europe for decades. But concerns are growing that the European Commission's ongoing cases against X and Meta under the DSA could become bargaining chips or even get traded away to ease standoffs with the Trump administration. Already the Commission is reportedly lowballing digital markets fines against Silicon Valley giants and talking about simplifying its range of digital regulations — including the DSA. That looks like complying in advance with US intimidation. On the other hand, the Commission could use the Trump administration's bullying tactics to invoke another law — the so-called Anti-Coercion Instrument. That could restrict aspects of Musk's businesses as well as the services of some US digital companies — and it would amount to a more muscular response. In this episode: two prominent MEPs urge the European Commission to hold firm on enforcement of the DSA after their mission to Washington, where they met MAGA hardliners like Congressman Jim Jordan and where they witnessed the kind shocking disdain for Europe echoed most recently in Signal messages shared with The Atlantic. "Everything we are doing in EU is seen as an attempt to be anti-American," says Christel Schaldemose, the Danish social democrat who is a vice president of the European Parliament and an architect of DSA. "That was very, very scary." Christel also is a coordinator on plans to combat foreign influence with a so-called Democracy Shield, which she suggested could allow for suspension of social media in the run up to elections. Sandro Gozi, the Italian liberal who is a former member of French and Italian governments, says the EU must show it has the nerve to impose its laws in the face of U.S. coercion. Sandro says lawmakers would never agree to sacrifice the DSA, which he characterises as "non-negotiable," in exchange for lower tariffs. Sandro also excoriates Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her party for retreating from previous enthusiasm for Ukraine — and for the DSA.Support the show

A strong relationship is being forged between Italy and the United States. Donald Trump has called Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni a “fantastic woman”, and says she's taken Europe "by storm”. Meloni was the only European leader present at Trump's inauguration as President, and had also visited him at his Mar a Lago retreat in Florida a couple of weeks ago. Italy Correspondent Jo McKenna told Ryan Bridge that she's positioning herself as the “go to” leader of Europe. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Tuesday, January 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Cuban pastor released from prison Cuban Protestant pastor Lorenzo Rosales Fajardo was released from prison following the United States' announcement that it would remove Cuba from its list of state sponsors of terrorism.  Pastor Fajardo was one of 553 political prisoners chosen to be released as a gesture of goodwill. He had served about half of a seven-year sentence for trumped-up charges. Franklin Graham cited Daniel 2 and urged Americans to turn to God Before Donald Trump was inaugurated and sworn in as the 47th president of the United States in the Capitol Rotunda on Monday, Franklin Graham offered this prayer in which he quoted Daniel 2:21. GRAHAM: “Our Father and our God, Thou hast said, ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.' As the prophet Daniel prayed, ‘Blessed be the name of God forever and ever. For wisdom and might are His. He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings. He raises up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.' “Our Father today, as President Donald J. Trump takes the oath of office once again, we come to say thank You, O Lord, our God Father. When Donald Trump's enemies thought he was down and out, You and You alone, saved his life and raised him up with strength and power by your mighty hand.” Graham concluded his 3-minute prayer with these words. GRAHAM: “We remember to keep our eyes fixed on You and may our hearts be inclined to Your voice. We know that America can never be great again if we turn our backs on You. We ask for Your help. And we pray all of this in the name of the King of kings, the Lord of lords, Your Son, my Savior, and our Redeemer, Jesus, Christ. Amen.” Trump took oath of office Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts administered the presidential oath. ROBERTS: “Please raise your right hand and repeat after me. I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear…” TRUMP:  “I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear…” ROBERTS: “that I will faithfully execute…” TRUMP:  “that I will faithfully execute…” ROBERTS: “the office of President of the United States …” TRUMP:   “the office of President of the United States…” ROBERTS: “and will, to the best of my ability…” TRUMP: “and will, to the best of my ability…” ROBERTS: “preserve, protect and defend…” TRUMP: “preserve, protect and defend…” ROBERTS: “the Constitution of the United States.” TRUMP: “the Constitution of the United States.” ROBERTS: “So help me, God.” TRUMP: “So help me, God.” Argentinian, Ecuadoran, and Italian presidents attended Foreign dignitaries attending the inauguration included Argentinian President Javier Milei, Ecuadoran President Daniel Noboa, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.   In addition to U.S. President Joe Biden, former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton witnessed Trump's inauguration.  Michelle Obama was the only presidential spouse who chose not to attend in order to send a message of disapproval. Trump: "The golden age of America begins right now!” On Monday, President Donald Trump gave a 30-minute inauguration speech inside the Capitol Rotunda beginning with this memorable line. TRUMP:  “The golden age of America begins right now!” (applause) Once he has implemented his policies, he's convinced that America's reputation will dramatically improve. TRUMP: “America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world.” Trump affirmed two genders. TRUMP: “As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female.” (applause) He encouraged national pride with the caveat that Americans need to remember God. TRUMP: “National unity is now returning to America and confidence and pride is soaring like never before. … We will not forget our country. We will not forget our Constitution. And we will not forget our God. Can't do that.” (applause) And President Trump referred to the first assassination attempt on his life. TRUMP: “Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then, and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again!” (applause) Read a transcript of Trump's inauguration speech here. Martin Luther King's niece: MLK Day & Trump Inauguration providential Alveda King, Martin Luther King, Jr's niece, spoke up in an op-ed column on FoxNews.com yesterday. She noted first that “It is no coincidence that on the very same day as MLK Day, we will celebrate the second inauguration of President Trump. I believe that God made it so that these two events would align.”   King's main concern was protecting the lives of the unborn. She wrote, “Let us all praise the Almighty that abortion is no longer a constitutionally protected right in the United States. Yet this does not mean that our work is over as a movement. Instead, as we continue to march in support of the unborn, we will also turn our efforts to the state level to protect life through state legislatures.” Biden issues pardons for his own family minutes before Trump's oath Lame Duck President Joe Biden pardoned several controversial figures who have yet to be indicted for any crime.   The list includes Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, General Mark Milley (Ret.), Democratic Senator Adam Schiff of California, and former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming. Then, just minutes before leaving the presidency, Biden issued blanket pardons for members of his own family including his brother James and his wife, Sara; his sister, Valerie, and her husband, John Owens; and his brother Francis. However, Trump prosecutor Jack Smith, former FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Attorney General Merrick Garland were not on the list of pardons. Trump's executive orders set a new course President Trump immediately went to work signing over a hundred presidential directives, reports CBS News. Among other initiatives, he (1) Closed the border to asylum-seeking migrants. (2) Declared an end to birthright citizenship. (3) Assigned the military to border security. (4) Established biological sex definitions of male and female for federal workers and schools. (5) Declared a national energy emergency for the nation's energy resources and rolled back regulations on energy production. and (6) Opened up Alaska to more oil and gas drilling. Trump released his own cryptocurrency The incoming president, Donald Trump, also released his own cryptocurrency over the weekend, reports USA Today. In less than 24 hours, the Trump Coin increased in value by 18,000% -- with a market cap of over $5 billion. And Melania Trump also got her own crypto coin, now with a market cap of $2.15 billion.   Fartcoin, another joke crypto has got a value of $1.8 billion as of today. The total market capitalization for cryptocurrency is approaching $4 trillion. That's about five times the size of the U.S. oil and gas industry. A few less Americans are investing in 25,000 different crypto-coins. 40% of men and 16% of women invested in 2024 — slightly lower numbers than 2023. People most stressed in Louisiana And finally, WalletHub did a study on the most stressed out state populations in America. Louisianans were the most stressed and Minnesotans were the least stressed. Generally, those in the northern states are not stressed, while people in the southern states are more stressed out -- based on money, work, family, and health-related issues. Philippians 4:6-8 reminds us to “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, January 21st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

And if this is too big of a commitment, I'm always thankful for a simple cup of coffee.]You may or may not have a relative or friend or acquaintance in your life who has posted on social media in the past few days, quite sardonically, that there's a lot of money to be made in betting on Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who just made it to the semifinals of women's boxing in the 66kg weight class at the Paris Olympics.The past several days have seen a deluge of disinformation across the internet regarding Ms. Khelif, whose sex has been called into question because she was simply too good in her Olympics match against Italy's Angela Carini, who gave up 46 seconds into their bout and then implied Ms. Khelif may not be a fair competitor.Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, J.K. Rowling, rightwing Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and YouTube star Logan Paul, among others, have viciously spread vile propaganda that Ms. Khelif is actually a man, not only smearing her reputation with transphobic and misogynistic nonsense but also likely putting her in danger.To be clear, there are three trans athletes in the Paris Olympics, none of whom are trans women. You can read more about them right here. But hey, it's been interesting to watch the response of sports betting markets!That's probably why your “very concerned” relative insisted on plunking down a wad of cash on Ms. Khelif winning the Gold Medal in her weight class, despite simultaneously dehumanizing her.Let's review how betting odds work. 1. The better the odds for an athlete winning, the lower they yield for bettors. Ms. Khelif, for example, currently has -500 odds on Fanduel. This has jumped substantially in light of the anti-trans propaganda online this week.That means a bettor has to wager $5 on her in order to make $1. The question then becomes: would you put down $500 to make $100? Some folks would, but it's pretty risky. It's even riskier when you consider that the odds are very likely inflated due to the incomplete reporting on Ms. Khelif over the past several days. That brings me to my second point. 2. Ms. Khelif has a 42-9 record. She has lost previously to nine other women. Nine. That includes a loss to Amy Broadhurst of Ireland in the World Boxing Championships, who is among the women loudly defending Ms. Khelif against these horrid accusations. Nine times she's lost to other women in the ring. Think about that. That brings me to my third point.3. There has been no evidence presented that Ms. Khelif has XY chromosomes, but a woman having XY chromosomes does not mean she's a man. Contrary to what I think most of us were taught in 6th grade biology, there are non-trans women with XY chromosomes and non-trans men with XX chromosomes. This is long-established science. You can read more about it here. There is also no evidence that Ms. Khelif has differences in sexual development (DSD) or Swyer's Syndrome or any other condition that may present her chromosomal status as having substantially "male" sex characteristics. That brings me to my fourth point. 4. Ms. Khelif was disqualified by the IBA last year in incredibly murky circumstances. The International Boxing Association (IBA) refused to be transparent about their testing methodology, which, in itself, is bonkers. Her disqualification just so happened to come three days after she beat Russian boxer Azalia Amineva in the semfinals of the IBA Women's World Championship. The IBA has strong, documented ties to the Russian government. Its president, Umar Kremlev, is a Russian citizen. He also serves on the Executive Committee of Russia's boxing federation. After becoming its president in 2020, Mr. Kremlev moved the IBA's operations to Russia and made Gazprom, Russia's state-owned energy company, its sole sponsor. Mr. Kremlev is an associate of Putin, which feels pretty redundant to state after all the above. All of this, plus a number of other concerns over corruption, led to the International Olympic Committee, last year, stripping the IBA as an eligibility authority for the Paris Olympics. In response, Mr. Kremlev called IOC President Thomas Bach a "chief sodomite." Classy. That brings me to my fifth point. 5. Ms. Khelif's country, Algeria, is notoriously anti-LGBTQ. The rights of queer Algerians is abysmal. Are there non-LGBTQ Algerians who support equality? Of course, but the Algerian government does not. It is illegal to be transgender in Algeria. It is impossible for a trans woman to obtain an Algerian passport indicating her as female. Ms. Khelif would literally not be able to leave the country with a female passport if she were transgender, which she is not. Of course, this is further moot given that 1) Ms. Khelif's father has provided her birth certificate establishing she was assigned female at birth and 2) trans women are barred from competing in boxing at the Olympics. That brings me to my sixth point. 6. This isn't really about whether or not Ms. Khelif is a woman. It's about women athletes only being valid when they meet arbitrary standards of femininity as defined through the male gaze. Women athletes as varied as Serena Williams and Katie Ledecky—whom I think most of us would agree are gorgeous (not that it should matter, of course)—have been targeted in the past by vile rumors that they aren't really women. Because they're too damn good and aspects of their bodies may not align with the absurd and arbitrary expectations of the male gaze. Women can be successful in the male gaze if, and only if, they please the male gaze. And even then, not really. That brings me to my final point. 7. Male athletes don't deal with this nonsense. When a man is stronger and faster, preternaturally gifted, has extraordinary biological deviations from the norm, he is celebrated and mythologized. When a male boxer KOs their opponent in the first ten seconds of a bout, it is cause for adulation. When a woman does it, she is suspect. Sounds a lot like misogyny to me. Of course, Angela Carini, the Italian boxer whom Ms. Khelif defeated in that bout that launched this whole controversy, recognized this within a day of the match. She said: "All this controversy certainly made me sad, and I also felt sorry for my opponent, she had nothing to do with it and like me was only here to fight... It was not intentional, in fact I apologize to her and to everyone. I was angry, because my Games had already gone up in smoke. I have nothing against Khelif and on the contrary if I happened to meet her again I would give her a hug." She hasn't been the only one to back off. The Boston Globe released a rare statement apologizing for their sloppy reporting on the story, and Logan Paul released a statement backpedaling on his claims. I'm gonna leave it there. So, if your relative would like to risk $500 to win $100 on all this controversy and disinformation surrounding Ms. Khelif, they are welcome to do so. But it seems like a wobbly bet.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Pope Francis hosted the inaugural World Children's Day, a Vatican initiative held from May 25 to 26 at Rome's Olympic Stadium and St. Peter's Square. The event drew around 50,000 children spanning more than 100 nationalities and featured conversations between the young participants and Pope Francis. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and actor Roberto Benigni were also in attendance. With the event, the pope hoped to raise awareness about children's plight in war, promote global peace, care for the environment and empower the younger generation.  On the show, producer and guest host Ricardo da Silva, S.J. and veteran Vatican reporter Gerard O'Connell discuss this unique event and the Vatican's ongoing efforts to foster peace and dialogue among warring factions worldwide. Later, Gerry reflects on “20 Days in Mariupol,” the award-winning film he saw at the Vatican. The documentary, screened as part of a special event hosted by the British and Ukrainian embassies to the Holy See, exposes the atrocities committed by Russian forces in Ukraine. It highlights the horrors of war and underscores the crucial role of journalists in uncovering the truth.
