Try Ground News for 30% off: https://ground.news/Andrew Andrew Gold tears into Keir Starmer's cowardice, hypocrisy, and years of evasiveness on the question, “What is a woman?” From refusing to say whether women can have penises, to blindly parroting “trans women are women,” Starmer has consistently dodged reality—until now, when political pressure finally forced him into a weak admission that “a woman is an adult female.” This video breaks down how the Labour leader enabled the gender ideology madness for years, stayed silent while women were threatened and cancelled, and now wants to pretend it's all behind us. We're not letting him get away with it. This is a fiery, unapologetic takedown of the lies, the flip-flopping, and the Orwellian gaslighting that defined Britain's trans debate.

This week, we're talking: deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, the U.K. Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman, J.K. Rowling's Cigar, Nicola Coughlin, and Lady Gaga at Coachella.

JK Rowling y el triunfo del patriarcado lo que puede hacer el dinero y el poder un discurso odio hacia las personas trans hecha ley que también afectara a las mujeres porque, si, el esencialismo abarca a todas mujeres. Porque no todas mujeres cumplen con las características de lo que se considera mujer.

We open with how we always start a Friday show, with Tara Bull's Top 10 News stories the media likely didn't cover this week. Then we spend a good amount of time discussing a tale of two parties. We have one party that is fighting for American and the lives of all Americans. We have an America First agenda led by President Donald Trump. Then we have a party that is fighting for gang members, murderers, wife beaters and illegals and the expense of all Americans. The Democrats have become the America Last party. It is undeniable! We have news from Dr. Marty Makary regarding the start of the removal of the revolving door in the FDA. The COVID.Gov website has been updated and I don't think Dr. Fauci is going to be happy. Trump says Fed Chair Jerome Powell will be out quickly as soon as he makes it happen. JK Rowling is ecstatic that the UK now understands what a woman is and the Transmafia is coming unglued about it. Finally, it is Good Friday, heading into the Easter Weekend. I take a moment to tie in one of the closing lines from the movie Saving Private Ryan and the death of Jesus Christ. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media. You can find me on Facebook, X, Instagram, GETTR,  TRUTH Social and YouTube by searching for The Alan Sanders Show. And, consider becoming a sponsor of the show by visiting my Patreon page!!

Kat and Carol are back with another chatty and cozy catch-up on Pretty Much Fine. This week, we're spiraling through the anxiety of applying to jobs (and dealing with the inevitable rejection), cruise ship kids clubs and social anxiety at sea, and that moment when childhood comes to an end. We also rant about our hatred for litterbugs, Carol's Sunday roast in London, and her visit to the Harry Potter set tour (but f*ck JK Rowling). Carol also shares a few still stewing stories from her trip.Plus, why you shouldn't meet your heroes and the admin we're avoiding. Grab a snack, make a latte and join the spiral!Send us YOUR still stewing or survived it stories here: hello@prettymuchfine.comFollow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/prettymuchfinepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@prettymuchfinepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our YouTube channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@prettymuchfine2194⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.prettymuchfine.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠

Yesterday, For Women Scotland won a momentous victory at the UK's Supreme Court, where it was clarified that 'sex' within the Equality Act refers to biological sex. We discuss why men are so psychosexually unhinged about the outcome, as seen by the dismay and disbelief at a victory secured by middle-aged women, their subsequent crashing out online, and the fermenting of conspiracy theories relating the Gender Critical movement to the American evangelical rightwing because they cannot believe middle-aged women can win political vindications. How the court victory is retrospective justice for trans widows and every woman forced to call her perpetrator 'she' in court. And how all the man-crying about this win shows how transgenderism was almost entirely about reversing the gains of second-wave feminism. Plus, middle-aged women's unparraelled organising skills, JK Rowling as a benefactor for women's rights, and how GC women will go down in history as political dissidents who won.

Jonny and Heather discuss Heather's new novel, Goodbye Hello, an unconventional romance that begins with grief at a funeral. In the back half of the show, they examine new turns in the anti-trans rhetoric of TERFs and transphobes, turns meant to be rebuttals to arguments for trans righs. They offer rebuttals to the rebuttals and note the pervasive function of caricature as a tool of scapegoating embedded in all the antitrans rhetoric.

On today's show, we talk about what happened across the pond where the UK supreme court ruled that Trans "women" are Men and that women are a biological sex. Then we talk about Gab's fight with the UK government over their censorship regime. Then we talk about the left going after dog owners and the Pro Hamas idiots going after cops. Then we talk about that idiot NY AG, who's now facing federal legal trouble for Mortgage fraud.   Source: UK Supreme court rules that Trans "women" are Men. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14618127/JK-Rowling-celebrates-victory-leads-gender-rights-campaigners-joy-Supreme-Court-rules-biologically-born-females-women.html UK Supreme court backs biological definition of a woman. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg7pqzk47zo UK women are legally defined as women. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/apr/16/critics-of-trans-rights-win-uk-supreme-court-case-over-definition-of-woman Gab fighting UK censorship. https://reclaimthenet.org/gab-refuses-to-comply-with-uk-censorship-tyranny Leftist hate Dog owners. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/04/15/left-wingers-are-now-coming-for-your-dogs-n2187873 The pro Hamas cult is now going after cops. https://dailycaller.com/2025/04/15/opinion-the-anti-israel-left-now-wants-to-target-cops-ryan-mauro/ NY AG is in legal hot water. https://nypost.com/2025/04/15/us-news/trump-administration-refers-ny-ag-tish-james-for-prosecution/ No one is above the law including New York Attorney General Letitia James. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/breaking-trump-administration-criminally-refers-ny-ag-letitia/   Byrna Self defense offer Byrna LE: https://amzn.to/4kBWzgB Byrna SD: https://amzn.to/41FWhfX Byrna Site: htttp://rwrd.io/nhin6yf?c   Support my affiliates Podbean affiliate: https://www.podbean.com/NCPB Minds Referral: https://www.minds.com/?referrer=Shianp Minds + Referral: https://www.minds.com/plus?referrer=Shianp Byrna Referral: http://rwrd.io/nhin6yf?c Advertise on Podbean: https://sponsorship.podbean.com/NCPB NorthShore referral: https://www.northshorecare.com/referral-landing-page?referral-code=NSRP-VAOD-IBQQ Robinhood offer: https://join.robinhood.com/nickc1474 Shop MyID: https://lddy.no/1frus eBay Deals: https://t.ly/oBfE Protonmail : https://go.getproton.me/SH1OU Bentbox : http://bentbox.co/cover?referralCode=4cfj0i0F

If anyone is interested the author of this story has a patreon to support his many works.: https://www.patreon.com/TheSinisterManWelcome to the next part in, The Prince of Slytherin chronicles entitled: Harry Black and the Resurrection Game (Act I: The Games of Summer). Summary:It is the summer of 1994, and the newly renamed Harry Black seems to have the world at his feet. By his Third Year's ending, he has become wealthy, influential, and popular. And perhaps best of all, he has revenged himself on the parents who abandoned him as a baby. But beneath the surface, troubles lurk. Powerful supernatural forces continue to drive a wedge between Harry and his twin brother Jim (the Boy-Who-Lived) while prophecies swirl around both boys that threaten everything Harry and his friends have built. And against the backdrop of the Quidditch World Cup, Lord Voldemort and his Inner Circle set their most diabolical plans into motion.Support the author here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/TheSinister_Man/pseuds/TheSinister_ManHarry Potter and all associated characters are the property of JK Rowling.

How awful is your favorite author?  Did you once love the works of a film director and the ideals they expressed, but, to your dismay, they turned out to be a lout? How does their badness change their art? Do texts belong to the author once they're released into the world? In this episode, Doc and Mike talk with the Co-Director of the Center for Monsters Studies, Renee Fox, about the concept of the "death of the author" and how texts and art can take on their own life, beyond the creator's intentions or control, long after publishing. They discuss complicated artists, Dickens, JK Rowling, Harry Potter, fandom and more!   Renee Fox is the UC Santa Cruz Associate Professor and Jordan-Stern Presidential Chair for Dickens and Nineteenth-Century Studies, Co-Director of The Dickens Project and Co-Director of The Center for Monster Studies.   About this podcast: MONSTERS! They haunt our days and chill our dreaming nights, to paraphrase Emily Dickinson. There's not a population on earth that does not have its own unique monster stories to tell to frighten, but also to instruct on the nature of good and evil, right and wrong. But what happens when monsters get out of control, when the monstrous imagination starts to bleed over into the real world? What are the effects of monsters on real people's real lives?
