  • Riley Gaines Fires Back at Dem Who Wanted Swimmerโ€™s โ€˜Transphobicโ€™ Remarks Stricken From Record

    Former collegiate swimmer-turned-activist Riley Gaines accused Rep. Summer Lee of being a โ€œmisogynistโ€ after the Pennsylvania Democrat derided the NCAA All-Americanโ€™s testimony as โ€œtransphobicโ€ and asked that it be stricken from the record during a fiery congressional hearing Tuesday.

    Lee, a member of the so-called โ€œSquadโ€ of far-left lawmakers, accused Gaines and other witnesses on the panel of being โ€œtransphobicโ€ in her opening remarks while arguing in support of the Biden administrationโ€™s proposed rule changes to Title IX that would outlaw banning transgender students from participating on teams consistent with their gender identity.

    โ€œItโ€™s disappointing to me that although the title of this hearing implies a much-needed discussion weโ€™re likely going to be forced to listen to transphobic bigotry,โ€ the first-year House lawmaker said during the House Oversight Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services hearing. โ€œBecause actually protecting female athletes and Title IX is important. Participating in sports provides so many benefits to our young people.

    There was perversity in the pool at the East Bayfield Community Centre in Barrie, Ont., last weekend. This was the venue for the Trojan Cup swimming competition. And guess who dropped by for a dip in the pool? That would be none other than Nicholas Cepeda, a.k.a., โ€œMelody Wiseheartโ€. We first got wind of Cepeda back in October when he competed at a swim meet in Markham, Ont. We were tipped off by concerned parents that this 50-year-old biological man prefers to compete with teenage girls, some as young as 13! And incredibly, everyone from the Barrie Trojans Swim Club to Swim Ontario to Swim Canada seem to be perfectly fine with this gender-bending grifter breaking the rules.

    No running. No diving. No lifeguard on duty. No swimming after dark.

    Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, the producers of M3GAN, high dive into the deep end of horror with the new supernatural thriller, Night Swim.

    Based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire, the film stars Wyatt Russell (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) as Ray Waller, a former major league baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, who moves into a new home with his concerned wife Eve (Oscarยฎ nominee Kerry Condon, The Banshees of Inisherin), teenage daughter Izzy (Amรฉlie Hoeferle, this fallโ€™s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) and young son Elliot (Gavin Warren, Fear the Walking Dead).

    Secretly hoping, against the odds, to return to pro ball, Ray persuades Eve that the new homeโ€™s shimmering backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical therapy for him. But a dark secret in the homeโ€™s past will unleash a malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of inescapable terror.

    Night Swim is written and directed by Bryce McGuire (writer of the upcoming film Baghead) and is produced by James Wan, the filmmaker behind the Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring franchises, and Jason Blum, the producer of the Halloween films, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man. The film is executive produced by Michael Clear and Judson Scott for Wanโ€™s Atomic Monster and by Ryan Turek for Blumโ€™s Blumhouse.
