The Passport Sanity Act prohibits the secretary of state from issuing a passport, passport card, or Consular Report of Birth Abroad that includes the unspecified (X) gender designation. "Radical gender ideology must be eliminated from every facet of the American government, root and branch,” Roy told The Daily Signal. “Passports exist to protect our national security by verifying the identity of those who exit and reenter our country, and that’s why they need to be grounded in reality. They are not a political delivery system to push a false notion that goes against the fact that the only two genders in existence are male and female,” he added.

Fetterman Interview
It's hard to transcribe or sum up Fetterman speaking. I feel like I got a stroke while listening to him.
Fetterman mentions the Democrat purity spiral, and how they are basically anti-men. He talks about voting for Pam Bondi, but says he's a no on Gabbard, RFK Jr, and Kash Patel.

I transcribed a few bits:
Tara Palmeri: "Why is the Democratic Party viewed as toxic by so many? Even people inside the party acknowledge that."
John Fetterman: "I think their primary currency was shaming and scolding and talking down to people and telling them, hey, I know better than you, or you're dopes, or you're a bro or you're ignorant, how can you be this dumb?
They're they're fascists. How can you vote for that? And, you know, when you're in a state like Pennsylvania, like, I know, and I love people that voted for Trump, and they're not fascist.
If you go to an extreme and you become a boutique kind of a proposition, then you're going to lose the you're going to lose the argument."

Palmeri: "How do Democrats win back white men like yourself?"
Fetterman: "I don't know, and truthfully, I'm not sure. I'm not sure if that's possible, to be honest.
Men are to blame or their, their masculinity is toxic. Or if you unless you're able to conform to our very strict kinds of definition of what we think is appropriate. Well, then I'm just I'm going to find an alternative. And they, they've done that."

Palmeri: "Another reason the left is so suspicious of you is because of your unwavering support of Israel. Speaking of Israel, what do you think of Donald Trump's proposal that the U.S. occupy Gaza?"
John Fetterman: "I describe it as provocative and it is provocative, but but I don't think that that's really in an actual serious kind of way. But, I think it was more of a way to shake things up. To have a more honest conversation about Gaza. 90% of the housing has been destroyed or damage; where are you gunna live? Where are folks gunna do? There's no utilities, there's no water. [...] How you gunna rebuild it, especially when Hamas is allowed to function? Where's the money gunna come from and who's going to do all the building? That's a gigantic undertaking. And no ones been honest about it. We're starting to have that conversation. All of the experts on the middle east where wrong, and my top priority in that region is destroying Iran's nuclear facilities."

Fetterman: I personally don't believe they're going to turn Gaza into Trump Plaza

On why people voted for Trump
Fetterman: It was a gut check kind of vote. Who is going to protect or project my personal view of the American way of life

My head hurts from trying to decipher Fetterman thunks. I better not grow a lump on my neck from this.

I've got a friend whose family left the Soviet Union when she was really young. In a conversation once I mentioned how the Soviets basically won WW2 (and of course we were the closers opening the other front that made the end come sooner) and she told me I was the first American she'd ever hear admit that or knew about the millions of people they lost. If it was a real kid filling in those answers, good for him on that.

absolutely not the Soviets lost all of those men because the Soviets were not good soldiers and their commanding officers make mark milley look like a model General.
if you actually look at all those Soviet advances guess what they're driving us made trucks I wonder where they got those from.
without the tens of millions of poorly-trained Soviet troops guess what America and the British could have still crushed the Germans because we were better equipped a better planes better tanks and better everything the Soviets were a opportunistic group of some human slime balls throughout the entirety of the war

I think some really really big scandals are going to drop regarding USAID. Did anybody notice that the big 2525 protests completely fizzled this week? Why is that? Why have we not seen a repeat of the angry Mobs outside the Supreme Court? Or the Summer of Love?

Where were all the busses that normally show up dmping hundreds of protestors?

Why did this recognizable pattern of bussed in violent anarchists seemingly stop as soon as USAID was shut down?

Also note that on the LA freeway, they're all waving flags. There are absolutely zero preprinted professional placards being utilized and of course they won't fly the Stars and Stripes so they literally have no other choice - even though it looks even worse for them. Also has anyone seen those yellow-vested Legal Aid folks out there with them that were ubiquitous at all other "protests?" I'd like to see where their funding comes from.

Fetterman's thoughts much like his fashion sense are beyond any normal person's comprehension.

He doesn't have eloquence but he seems perfectly understandable to me. He drops into third person and hypotheticals a few times which makes it slightly harder to understand, but not impossible unless you can't comprehend hypotheticals or alternate viewpoints.

He's basically just staying the same things we are, just that being a liberal he doesn't have the vocabulary to do so clearly.

@Cats, I'm incredibly interested on your opinion on this statement.

his sacrifice will benefit the local cat conglomerate and provide new thoughts and nourishment for the Toxoplasmid hive mind. When a human brain is eaten by a cat, all of the associated thoughts and memories become absorbed into the collective. Any useless and/or displeasing articles shall be permanently discarded.

Men are more likely to shut off sympathy/empathy when constructing a particular view than women are. Its not a bad thing -- someone has to think of the brown children -- but I just wish there weren't forces in culture and the media that seek to hijack that empathy.

The worst thing we ever did was cede environmentalism to the left, the EPA was created by Nixon afterall, and despite the bloated faggotry it has morphed into, we should always strive to be good stewards of the earth. All this climate change shis is retarded, but we need to get back to being mindful of what we do.

My dream is that "The chart has been updated" will become lexicon for "Dude dealing with a annoying/crazy bitch".

Oh nice, Trump just said that he agrees with Vance on hiring the DOGE kid back.
