H.R.28 – Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025
Roll Call vote on 14 January 2025
DeSaulnier Democratic California Nay
.
Perhaps there hasn’t been time to issue a press release explaining his vote.
Thank you Biden for the last 4 awesome years! The stock market is at all time high! Enjoy your retirement!
Yeah, inflation does that. We all know everything is at all time highs. 12 bucks for a dozen eggs in this communist hellscape if you can even find them.
You pay $12 for a dozen eggs? You got ripped off big time. I pay $9 at most.
At least you could buy eggs I couldn’t. Yesterday I was going to Grocery Outlet and Trader Joe’s, both have good prices on eggs. I went to Grocery Outlet and they had plenty of eggs, at $7:49 if I remember correctly. I decided to wait until I got to TJ’s, not sure why prices usually about the same. However, Tj’s was totally out of eggs. So I bought frozen pancakes instead. Not as healthy, but delicious.
Like 9 dollars is really better. What a stooge
Inflation was a global problem as a result of supply chain issues. Due to Biden policies, the US inflation rate was mitigated more quickly that the rest of the world. Fact. Full stop.
What corrupt propaganda media outlet are you parroting today, Concord Guy?
Concord Guy just proved that he doesn’t know anything about economics, or he’s intentionally lying!
From day 1, everything Biden did either created inflation or made it worse, starting with restricting supply of fuel. He printed money like crazy and shoveled it out the door. And the Democrats knew the so-called Inflation Reduction act would make inflation much worse, but it sounded like it would make things better. They lied!
“full stop” No, you don’t dictate what anyone does. Full stop, what an idiotic democrat dictatorship phrase. No, you try and stop me. Your greasy daddy will never be president of MAGALAND
The cost of eggs have to do with the the bird flu, not who is president. I doubt you will see egg prices drop next week.
No, we will not see eggs drop next week or anything else. Trump already backed out of that promise. The only thing that will start to drop next week will be the billionaire’s taxes.
FAFO,
.
President Biden and his Democratic Party majorities in the House and Senate his first 2 years in office didn’t bother to repeal President Trump’s 2017 tax bill. Why?
Never a better time to get a hen or two. Chickens are cheap and easy to maintain. And are good insurance against an unstable supply chain.
Paul’s right!
We owe Joe Biden our thanks for his awesomeness
“The Great Uniter” who calls us “garbage”.
The “Pardoner in Chief”
Let’s review just some of Joe’s great accomplishments (aside from his family criminal activities that he can’t talk about):
*
*Joe canceled The Keystone XL pipeline, that left 11,000 unemployed.
Then he restricted domestic oil and gas production, leading to higher energy prices for Americans.
*Next, he begged OPEC and Russia to increase production of THEIR oil and gas in order to reduce those prices.
*Joe’s cluster#%ed withdrawal from Afghanistan, US soldiers massacred & billions of dollars’ worth of arms and equipment left for the Taliban.
*11-14 million unknown, unvaccinated foreigners Joe allowed to invade America, despite immigration laws and Joe’s own unconstitutional “vaccine mandate” that forced the firing of non compliant soldiers, health workers, police and firefighters.
*Joe gave us the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that caused half of the out of control inflation that’s still strangling America……. AWESOME!
*
Thanks Joe.
Let’s not forget that the Biden end gun show loophole. And he ended Trump era immigration policy because it is inhumane. We need more presidents like Biden and Obama. Maybe Newsom can be the next president for he protect us from traitor trump 🤷♂️
What is a gun show loophole and how specifically Biden ended it?
Oh yeah, Newsom can be president only in his and your wet dreams.
Look it up. It was in the news around April of last year. The new rule is temporary blocked by a Trump’s lackey.
Look what up? You made unsubstantiated and totally untrue statement and are asking me to find prove to your point? I am telling you this never happened, you don’t know what you are talking about, and cannot prove your statement.
Better explain who is the Trump lackey who can single handedly override the wonderful president of the United States.Did he close the “gun show loophole”, or not?
MSNBC and CNN is not news, it’s leftist liberal propaganda.
Paul You have to be kidding. 4 more yrs of Biden and our country would have been totally ruined, almost as bad a job that Newsome has done to Ca. Wake up! Maybe you think Newsome has done a great job in Ca? Look at the La area. Look at the homeless problem that seems to get worse every year. Look at all the big Co.s that have left or are leaving!
Biden ended nothing. The rules are just tighter and unlicensed dealers now must become FFL licensed dealers .
“The new guidance will still allow transfers and sales of firearms without background checks for scenarios including private transfers among family members or those who make occasional sales as part of a personal collection or hobby”
I personally have no problem with background checks and the 10 day waiting period.
What I DO have a problem with is there is a California law that requires citizens to pass a safety test before being allowed to take possession of a firearm, but no IQ or civics test required before being allowed to vote.
There are lots of stupid voters in California.
Stupid people should not be allowed to vote!
Uhm…the voters do have knowledge in civics.
The one who are born in the US learn civics (us history, world history, government) at least by high school. The civic lessons could be bias but that is another issue.
then there are those who acquire us citizenship by taken a test; they also need to learn about the us history for they have to study about 100 questions but just need to answer correctly 10 questions during the exam.
And…. a High School Diploma should be required too!
*
“Uhm…the voters do have knowledge in civics”
*
OK, so try asking people at random “What is the Supreme law of the land?”
the us constitution is the answer. So what that they couldn’t answer the question. Maybe they don’t recall because theirs mind are filled with things that they want to know. Or remembering civic lessons aren’t useful. For example, it has been at least 30 years since I recited the pledge of allegiance; if you ask me to recite it, I would be struggle unless there is a print out
And you proud that as an American, a US citizen, that you would struggle to recite the Pledge of Allegiance? Wow … words elude me on how to respond to someone that thinks this is acceptable.
Pathetic.
Naw. The us constitution grants citizens the right to vote. Trying to deny citizens theirs right to vote for whatever reasons is pathetic. But I am not surprised for some people have tried to deny the slaves and Chinese the right to vote for fear of losing; thank god and the constitution that these people have failed.
Paul knows NOTHING about the Constitution or Bill of Rights.
Citizens “over” the age of 18 can vote.
*
Letting clueless idiots elect our leaders is how California has ended up with the clowns running the circus.
You need to be tested to drive a car.
You need to be tested to buy a firearm.
You need to take a test to drive a boat.
But voting isn’t important enough to require that voters be educated?
We don’t even require a high school diploma?
*
“deny the slaves and Chinese the right to vote”?
What year do you think this is Paul?
https://www.archives.gov/research/african-americans/vote
it took 15th amendment, 24th amendment and the voting rights acts of 1965 for African American and other races the right to vote. Prior to them, around 1870, only white men can vote and they tried every tactics ( including literacy tests as you have advocated) to deny other groups to vote. But what do I know cuz I am from Cuba.
Thanks for the history lesson, but your most recent reference to any discrimination happened 60 years ago & it was racial discrimination, not simply a matter of questioning basic intelligence REGARDLESS of race.
Your words have helped me understand your reasoning though….
*
“civic lessons aren’t useful. For example, it has been at least 30 years since I recited the pledge of allegiance; if you ask me to recite it, I would be struggle unless there is a print out”
*
“But what do I know cuz I am from Cuba”
i recommend you to read the voting rights acts 65. It has been amended a few times. Right now, the act ban any literacy tests (intelligent, language, ect…) for voting eligibility. There is a section in the act that allows the government to provide voting instructions/ballots in languages other than English so that minorities voters aren’t disfranchised.
Paul, you’re just making the argument for me.
Government has no requirement for any degree of education to be able to vote and as a result California’s fate is being decided by idiots who keep voting for the same brain dead politicians over and over again, expecting different results.
Paul,
.
Not quite true. Some states allowed black males to vote prior to the 15th Amendment. It wasn’t only blacks and other races who couldn’t vote, but it also took many decades before all white males could vote. To say it took the 24th Amendment and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 for “African Americans and other races the right to vote” is untrue, they were necessary because of voting restrictions in certain states, counties, and cities, not because there was a nationwide ban on non-whites voting as your comment suggests.
You made a good point. Poor white male didn’t get to vote and black with property di d get to vote.
https://wcl.american.libguides.com/voting/history/timeline
this voting right timeline should reflect who get to vote and under which conditions.
Dr. Jellyfinger,
.
This is why occupation and party affiliation of candidates should be removed from our ballots. It would require some knowledge of who voters are voting for other than just looking for the words “incumbent,” the name of some elected position or occupation a candidate holds, and the name of a political party next to the name of a candidate.
paul says civic lessons aren’t useful and uses the pledge of allegiance as an “example.”
another example of her/his/its lack of knowledge.
so civic lessons aren’t important? Guess that demonstrates your lack of knowledge when it comes to VOTING.
History is useful if one wants to work in government related fields or law or teaching. I took a few history classes in hs and college for graduation requirements and found the history to barely to be useful in work or daily activities. Y’all like to make fun of people with a “weave basket” degree; history major is on par with “weave basket” major lol
Paul,
.
Is your use of the term “the Biden” meant to emulate the term “The Donald”?
No. I left out the word “administration” after Biden.
Biden did NOT end the “gun show loophole.”
You made the claim – now you PROVE it with unbiased sources.
Telling others to “look it up” says that you have ZERO proof, and likely have zero knowledge of what it was.
But he discovered a new constitutional amendment, so there’s that.
@ Dr. Jellyfinger- Don’t forget Biden released 1/3 (180 million barrels) of oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to bring down gas prices (AKA to get votes).That was our emergency stockpile of oil. That move dropped the reserve levels to the lowest level since 1984.
If this is not a big tongue-in-cheek post, then it is a prime example of why conditions under the Biden administration have been nothing short of horrible!
Just ignore the sore loser troll, everyone.
Paul,
Thank you for comic relief. Hard working honest tax paying citizens who are struggling in most every way just to survive day to day because of China Joe Biden and his regime appreciate it.
Paul (Pablo) is just a troll from Cuba.
Democrat Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao is finally indicted for corruption. She had claimed all this time that this was all false accusations concocted by supposid conservative Maga people that wanted her out of office.
While there’s all kinds of corruption in politics ,the Democrats are actually the most corrupt! You’re going to see more revelations about many more. They’ve just been protected for quite a while by the media. I think things are a changing!
Fairy Newsom is next
Only if the same fools that keep voting him & his ilk into office finally realize the consequences of of continuing to repeat their election choices.
Everyone who has an American flag display it

21 January could be real interesting in Chicago.
I got a new one ready to go, will be flying it every day…Loud and proud…
JUST IN – ICE prepping for “big operation” across sanctuary cities after Trump inauguration. You may want to stay away from the Home Depot parking lot. I heard they are setting up a command post on Monument blvd. Supreme court says it’s time for DACA to go home.
Ice says that it will cost about $26B/year. So it is not going to happen. Also Newsom protects us from Trump.
Would be money well spent. Building the wall would have been a lot cheaper. Not canceling “stay in Mexico” policy would not have cost anything al all.
Also, who is “us”? I don’t need protection from Trump.
$26b/year for deportation and there is a chance of them coming back isn’t really a well money spend. Building a wall isn’t cheap.
If this we really want to stop them from coming in, copy North Korea and put land mines along the border; and if they get pass the mines we should give them residency (like we give the Cuban who able to touch the US soil).
cry more,take a math class,mask up
it costs way more to keep them here, but not you,youre a freebee.Your dole stays the same.
Exactly how is Newsom going to protect anyone from Federal Law Enforcement enforcing immigration laws?!? Tom Homan is telling anyone who is listening that the Feds are going to immediately begin arresting illegal aliens and anyone who attempt to interfere will be arrested.
The Mayors of Denver and Boston both talked tough and when threatened with immediate arrest both backdown with their tails between their legs. Newsom will do the same.
If you think local law enforcement is going to prevent ICE from arresting and deporting anyone you are living in a castle in the sky.
Time to wake up and see which way the wind is blowing.
Exactly like California abandoned their diesel fuel ban so too will they abandon their interference in immigration enforcement or face the consequences.
Paul, a man, presumably needs protection from another man (again presumably), from another man. Dude man the hell up. Trump is your daddy now.
.
Oh it’s happening, you can go too if you want to live in mexico so bad
Good!
If you actually have a job, you can help pay for it!
Geez Paul, services for illegal aliens cost over $31 billion per year in California alone…. Do you think ICE can’t afford to deport them?
How does the math work on your planet?
Newsom doesn’t do 💩. He promised to end homelessness 20 years ago…..has that been solved? NO! And with essentially one-party rule, he can’t pin that on anyone except himself.
Speaking of Newsom, they say the Smelt Platter at the French Laundry is a dish best served cold.
And as expected, California is officially declared a kakistocracy.
Congratulations to Moderna for getting $560m to speed up the bird flu
Congratulations to Moderna for getting $560m to speed up the bird flu vaccine. Please get ready to get the jab cuz we don’t want to shut down like Covid 19. Or do we🤔
Bird flu isn’t real. There’s no such thing. Just like climate change and COVID HOAX. Useful idiots are however very real.

What did JAN. 6 COMMITTEE STAFFERS
do that they need a Presidential pardon ? ? ?
There are allegations of the committee withholding & destroying evidence.

Nancy Pelosi kicked Jim Jordan and Jim Banks off the committee at the very start signaling what the left leaning, predetermined outcome of the investigation would be.
Honesty & fairness were abandoned on day one.
I think that they are afraid the orange manbaby will throw a tantrum and try to get revenge on anybody that dissed him. I see that being a leader of a great nation, who should protect and defend that great nation, wants to hold anyone accountable for his 2020 loss and weaponize the justice department, fbi and other state organisations so he can enact said revenge. Sounds like this president is more akin to an 7th grader picked on by bullies. Not. My. President.
Jimmity just gave an exhibition of a true manbaby temper tantrum, but Trump is your President. Jimmity still thinks posting a disclaimer on his facebook page will keep them from using any of his posted pictures. Bwahahahahahahahaha
@Jimmity
Since you didn’t use a “z” in your spelling, perhaps you’re not a United States citizen, which is why you wrote: “Not. My. President.” However, if you are a U.S. citizen, then where have you been? Of course our President will be seeking revenge because he said so himself……and that revenge will be called “SUCCESS”. Enjoy!
Jimmy – “not your president?”
Then I suggest you pack your fat a$$ out to some third world $hithole country where you’ll be happy.
Just as a reminder – the GOP has the House, the Senate and the presidency…..and a conservative SCOTUS.
We’ll help you pack, Jimmy. And we’ll supply you lots of tissues to wipe away the liberal tears.
Bye, Bye Biden!

Thanks Trump for pardoning the antifa for committing J6 insurrection!
The KKK, Antifa, and BLM are all racist organizations, and they all serve as Democrat Storm Troopers.
Thanks Biden for pardoning his family … wait why would he do that if they did nothing wrong? Could it be .. I mean, could it be they were actually criminals?
though I don’t agree with pardoning the violent offenders, I find it laughable when people get bent out of shape about Trump pardoning people .
Paul,
You also better thank your incestuous pedo hero for pardoning child rapists and murderers.

Biden did such a great job, Trump won the popular vote. Remember that when pablo praises biden.
Some have claimed Trump’s inaugural speech humiliated the Biden Administration.
However the biggest humiliation was The Village People performing at last night’s festivities. After all, far left Democrats assume they have 100% of the gay concession.
The Fearless Spectator,
.
The Village People performed againg tonight at one of the Presidential Inauguration Balls.
.
I do think The Village People missed an opportunity, for these two performances they should’ve added a 7th member to the band, a blonde haired man wearing a blue suit with a red tie. It would’ve been received well.
After deportations,
will California still have a housing crisis ? ? ?
Will California have a budget surplus ? ? ?

It seems that the only person our Ex-President failed to pardon is Diddy. Does Joe have a thing against baby oil?
The Professor,

He didn’t bother to pardon some of his grandchildren who received some of the same foreign money other family members did and who did receive pardons, and he didn’t bother to pardon Jill either.
Why would minors need a pardon for financial arrangements made by adult relatives?
Dr. Jellyfinger,
.
I don’t remember if Hunter Biden’s oldest children from his first marriage were minors or adults at the time of the money transfers, I just rememberedthat they had received money. I didn’t hear anything about President Biden pardoning his former daughters-in-law either, Hunter Biden’s first wife and Beau Biden’s widow/Hunter Biden’s onetime girlfriend, because they also received money transfers.
It’s no big deal, it’s just odd that he left some out.
In fact, I don’t see where he pardoned any grandchildren, the adults or minors.
Paul you’re really disturbed this week.Did something happen in America that leaves a bad taste?How unusual…….
I’m guessing this is just one of maybe 200 sites you troll with anger daily.
For now birthright citizenship is over by executive order of President Trump, as expected a court challenge has already been mounted by democrat attorneys general from 22 states.
All going according to plan.

Case may eventually be heard by The Supreme Court.
It could take months or years, meantime should put a dent birth tourism from outside the US.

Democrats are upset about it sure, but remember…. they are pro cheating.
Dick Durbin is suggesting citizens and politicians not cooperate with Trump policy initiatives such as border security and DEI removal.
Perhaps they should remind him that the Epstein client list (The one he voted NOT to have released) could somehow be inadvertently leaked and gee whiz, that would be a shame wouldn’t it?
California is suffering in the throes of a deep-deep budget deficit, right?
No money for the everyday things citizen taxpayers need?
California Senate approved “Trump-proofing” bills to give $25M to CADOJ and $25M for immigration “legal services” to help them fight legal battles with the President.
