Controversy erupted in Arlington, Texas, after American competitor Jammie Booker took home the title of the World’s Strongest Woman. There was one big problem. Booker is not a woman, and organizers said he failed to disclose that he is a man.

Sanity won this time, and Booker was disqualified.

“It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women’s Open category,” organizers explained. “Strongman officials were unaware of this fact ahead of the competition and we have been urgently investigating since being informed.”

“Had we been aware, or had this been declared at any point before or during the competition, this athlete would not have been permitted to compete in the Women’s Open category.”

Booker claimed gold while British powerhouse Andrea Thompson, a former champion and one of the most respected figures in the sport, stepped off the podium muttering “this is bullsh*t,” according to multiple witnesses.

Within hours, her coach, former strongman Laurence Shahlaei, declared Thompson the real 2025 champion, praising her dominance in the deadlift, log press, and circus dumbbell. “Sport is sport,” he wrote. “Women’s classes exist for a reason.”

Even Booker’s own sponsor, Iron Ape, cut ties before he was disqualified, saying it had “reason to believe” Booker misrepresented critical information to the Official Strongman Games, stressing the decision was about integrity, not identity.

So, what do we learn from this circus? That when truth punches through the charade, the house of cards collapses. But here’s the kicker: this isn’t just about sports. It’s about every industry being hijacked by feelings over facts, ideology over integrity. Whether it’s on the field or in the aisle of your local drugstore, you’re constantly being sold lies wrapped in pastel packaging and virtue signals. You deserve better. You deserve products that don’t pander.

With the advent of internet shopping, the Black Friday landscape has certainly changed dramatically. Instead of risking life and limb to enter the Hunger Games of holiday shopping — often before you’ve fully digested your Thanksgiving dinner — gifts arrive on your doorstep in days with just a few clicks.

The Daily Wire is here to help with that — with holiday deals on everything from candles and cigars to All-Access DailyWire+ memberships — but first, let’s take a moment to celebrate all the chaos and catastrophe that you’ll be avoiding when you do your holiday shopping with The Daily Wire.

Larger-than-usual crowds — fueled by too much coffee, too little sleep, and the promise of a slightly cheaper video game console — increase the risk of injury. The crush of the crowd pushing to get in as soon as doors open can lead to scrapes and bruises — and in extreme cases, people have been trampled to death. In fact, a website called Black Friday Death Count tracked 17 deaths and 125 injuries that took place either during or in close proximity to Black Friday sales between 2010 and 2021.

In theory, we’ve come along way from the fistfights and near riots as parents scrambled to get their hands on the must-have Cabbage Patch dolls in 1983 …

In 1996, shoppers who had clearly learned nothing from the Cabbage Patch riots went crazy over Tickle-Me-Elmo. Originally $29, the doll quickly hit a black market price of near $1,000. When some 300 customers lined up outside a Walmart — all hoping to get their hands on one of 48 Elmos — an employee was trampled and had to be taken to a hospital for treatment.

In 1998, shoppers rioted over Furbies — tiny talking toys that looked like a cross between a baby owl and a Mogwai. In addition to being nearly impossible to find, the toys routinely caused additional headaches when they would not turn off. Still, desperate shoppers turned to the black market and paid far above the original list price of $30-35 to dealers who bought and resold the hot item for hundreds of dollars.
