everything a man can do, a wom- an can do better, are missing in action. Transgender women (men who pretend to be women) are becoming the face of every- thing women. Why aren't feminists scream- ing in protest? Biology says any person born with a "Y" chromosome is a male. Humans are not God. They cannot create or reassign genetics. Transgenderism is incompati- ble with God. God created male and female in his image. He forbids men to dress as women and women dress as men. While God laughs at man's attempt to reinvent him- self, we humans are crying. The World Health Organi- zation and the American Psy- chological Association classify gender dysphoria as a condition related to the individual's identi- ty, rather than a mental disorder. They claim gender dysphoria involves a mismatch between a person's gender identity and the gender assigned at birth, causing significant distress and impair- ment in daily functioning. This is a psycho-jargon way of saying people are born transgender. Na- ture made a mistake. Clinical experts who treat gen- der dysphoria say many trans- sexuals have increased rates of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and suicid- al ideation. It is not a healthy lifestyle for most. The Nashville school shooter had a host of psy- chological issues associated with gender dysphoria. Major news media outlets have been quick to bury the Nashville school shooting by a transgender. The story has con- veniently dropped into a rabbit hole. The TV talking heads and newsroom editors have moved on from the story because it in- volves a transgender assailant and not a far-right white male nut job toting a gun and a Bible. The shooting exposes the radical nature and psychological danger of transgender reassignment. Major corporations want to signal how progressive they are. By promoting transgenders as their new spokesmen/woman, they are virtue signaling they are hip and buy our products. The latest woke companies to embrace transgenderism are Budweiser and Nike. Their poster child is a man posing as a woman. Nike is receiving crit- icism that it treats gender-con- fused men better than women. Budweiser is reeling from the backlash from its loyal male customers.

Their hiring a man dressed up to resemble Audrey Hepburn has set off a firestorm of indignation from loyal customers who say I'm switching to another brand. It appears they bypass consumer focus groups when preparing for their advertising campaign. It will be interesting to see how Budweiser backtracks from their self-inflicted fiasco without alien- ating the radical trans movement. And radical it is. For the consum- er, when a company goes woke it becomes broke. Why is corporate America/ World shoving transgenderism down our throat? Gender dysphoria is not going away. It is another nail in Amer- ica's coffin. It doesn't take a ge- nius to realize America is being destroyed from within. In 1956, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev said, "We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within...." We have relegated The Soviet Union to the dustbin of history, but communism is alive and well. Communism flies under the ban- ner of far-left radical progressiv- ism. The state has become God. The state is looking out for your welfare. The state says you can practice your religion if it agrees with us. That, my friend, is the outcome. Transgenderism celebrates the erasure of men and women along with all the values Christians and most Americans care about. As long as corporations, news me- dia, and politicians champion gender dysphoria, biologically born women will play second fiddle. Gone will be all the hard- fought gains women have achieved. Americans who are fed up with this nonsense will not vote themselves out of this predica- ment. It is too entrenched. Short of a military coup, returning America to its Constitutional form of government, I don't see things improving. Given the wokeness state of the military, I don't foresee a coup. Although we have had several coups in our history— JFK. Trump's two impeachment trials were coup attempts by the deep state. The deep state after the JFK, ML King, and RFK's murders, realized that public as- sassinations are messy and don't go away. Don't expect the pushback against corporate sponsored LGBTQIA to have any lasting effect. Satan is a chameleon, and so are his disciples. He'll back up and regroup. He's in this for the long haul and so are his acolytes. This is a spiritual battle against the powers of darkness sweeping across América.

Worry, self- pity and self-centered introspec- tion must no longer be found in us for we are God's workman- ship who must grow spiritually as we become His instruments in meeting the needs of others. "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) INSIGHT Continued from page B4 Blackard shoots record 5 under in 9 holes; Titans roll in recent matches By Andy Heuring Gibson Southern's golf team had a big week with two matches and a weekend tourna- ment highlighted by a Peyton Blackard's record setting per- formance at Christmas Lake. Blackard continues to wow golf fans. On Thursday the Titan sophomore roasted the famed Christmas Lake course for a five under 31 on the front nine. He started on hole three and proceeded to birdie his first four holes and then one more to birdie five of the nine holes he played. "His round could have been even better as his four foot birdie putt on the final hole lipped out. It was quite a show," said Titan Assistant Coach Al Lentz. It was a nine hole school record for Gibson Southern. It broke his old record of 32 last year. Blackard got plenty of help as the Titans posted a team 148 to beat host Heritage Hills' 168 by 20 strokes and Princeton 's 194. Titan freshman William Redden continued his strong play shooting an even par 36. "I just shot even par and got beat by five strokes," said Redden. Junior Ottie Droste shot a 38 and fellow junior Dawson Maurer posted a 43. It was the Titans' lowest team score of the season so far. "Blackard's efforts are making all the Titan golfers better with his hard practice and taking care of business atti- tude," said Lentz. On Tuesday, April 11, the Titans posted a team 151 to easily beat host Wood Memo- rial on Tuesday at the Oakland City golf course. Wood had a team score of 194 Peyton Blackard led the way as he shot an even par 35 for Medalist honors. He was followed by another strong round from freshman William Redden with a one over par 36. Junior Ottie Droste continued his excellent play with a 38 followed by junior Dawson Maurer with a score of 42 and Mitchell Gilles also with a 42. "We are starting to play some good golf," said Coach Matt Reinbrecht. On Saturday the Titans visited Country Oaks Golf Course in Montgomery for the Washington Invitational. The Invitational showcased six state ranked teams including #4 Evansville North, #6 Bloom- ington South, #13 Jasper, #14 Evansville Memorial, #17 Cas- tle and #19 Gibson Southern. Gibson Southern did not compete as a team, because of the prom only two starters were able to compete. "Unfortunately we were unable to field a full team due another scheduled event, which left us with just two players who competed as individuals and boy did they compete," said Lentz. Blackard won medalist honors with an even par 72. He had to win a three hole playoff with two other players. Blackard won the playoff on the par 5 first hole with a birdie putt. Redden, a freshman, shot a five over par 77 on the long 6700 yard course. "William has been playing excellent," said Lentz. The event was won by Bloomington South with a team score of 298 followed by Evansville North with a 301 and Jasper placing third with a team score of 317. "We look forward to playing these teams when they have a full complement of players in the future. All of the ranked teams mentioned feed into the Washington Regional to be played in June at Country Oaks," said Lentz. Lady Titan tennis sweeps Princeton 5-0 By Andy Heuring Gibson Southern's number one doubles team won a third set tiebreaker to keep intact a 5-0 rout of their county, conference and sectional rival Princeton to stay undefeated this season. Lillie Booth and Gab- by Smitha won the third set tiebreaker 7-1 over Princeton's senior duo of Albree Wallace and Kelsey Ellis at number one doubles. The Titan duo lost the first set 6-4 then mounted a turnaround with a 6-2 win in the second set. They then played ot 6-6 tie in the third set before taking the decisive tiebreaker. Gibson Southern's oth- er doubles team won in two competitive sets with Emilee Bullock and Mallory Maurer winning 6-3, 7-5 over Elizabeth James and Emma Craven of Princeton . In singles matches the Lady Titans rolled. Gracia Jones at number one singles beat Princeton Haley Davis 6-1, 6-1. Sydney Purcell won 6-2, 6-1 over Tiger Ali Medler and Lilly Schmitt beat Princeton Addison Schafer 6-1, 6-1. In junior varsity action Gibson Southern won all six of their singles matches. Lindsey Garbers won 6-1, Tali Maurer 6-0, Alysaa Welte 6-2, Tricia Long 6-2, Charity Baylor 6-5 and Becca Smith 6-2. In doubles matches Kelsey Spinder and Emily Holzmeyer won 6-1, Molly Foster and Vanessa Foster won 6-1 . "We had a light week of matches last week with only two matches played. We only play two matches this week, then for three weeks straight we play at least four matches per week. The intensity of the season is going to begin to ramp back up next week. We have had some time to get healthy and work on some of our weaknesses from early matches with all of the practice time," said Titan Tennis Coach Matt Grabbe.
