After President Joe Biden traveled to Maui and all-too-typically cited his own personal history in order to comfort the grieving residents of the island, where at least 115 people have been declared dead from the fire that engulfed the town of Lahaina, he was blasted on social media for his colossal insensitivity.

Biden compared the fire to a small kitchen fire in his home nearly two decades ago, saying, “I don’t want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense, Jill and I, what it’s like to lose a home. Years ago — now 15 years ago — I was in Washington doing ‘Meet the Press.’ It was a sunny Sunday, and lightning struck at home on a little lake that’s outside of our home — not a lake, a big pond — and hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducts — the air conditioning ducts. To make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my ‘67 Corvette, and my cat.” A report from the Associated Press at the time said the fire was “a small fire that was contained to the kitchen.”

“Hearing you talk about your house that had a little fire, you ‘almost lost your house and your Corvette,’ there were children that were incinerated to ash, you f***king old man, you vile human being,” one man said in a viral video.

“You’re so out of touch with the common man, you don’t even know how to speak to them,” he continued. “The only way you think you can establish commonality with them is to lie, ‘The same thing happened to you no matter what the tragedy is.’ He referenced Biden attempting to commiserate with Gold Star Moms who lost their son in action by citing his son Beau’s death from brain cancer: “Your son wasn’t killed in action, by the way,” adding furiously, “Your house didn’t burn down. Your children weren’t burned to death.”

“How dare you get up there and speak this way?” he snapped. “Your job is to go there and assuage them in a way that you talk to them about their loss, that you can’t imagine what it’s like, that you can’t imagine what it’s like never to find the bodies of the poor children who were sent home from schools. They died alone! Alone. In fear. Without their parents or guardian. The most abhorrent thing happened. You’re a disgusting, despicable bastard.”

“You ‘almost lost your cat?’ Go f*** yourself,” he concluded.

There were plenty of others condemning Biden, including:

I’m sure the people in Maui whose loved ones burned to death are so comforted learning Biden didn’t lose his corvette or his cat in a small kitchen fire.https://t.co/JOrJUOM7mg

This is so gross and not even comparable. There are still approximately 1,000 people missing, including children.

Joe Biden’s shows ZERO empathy, compares the pain and suffering of Maui victims to the time he had a small kitchen fire back in 2004: "I almost lost my '67 Corvette and my cat!"

The International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) issued an ultimatum to the Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) warning the union to abide by its rules regarding men competing against women — which could mean a transgender powerlifter could be banned from the sport.

IPF President Gaston Parage told The Daily Mail that his organization issued the ultimatum on Monday, pointing out that IPF rules state “no lifter should have an unfair and disproportionate advantage over another athlete.”

“It is important to do that because we worked out the transgender policy we wanted to make sure that we don’t discriminate against women,” Parage declared. “It is needed to have such a policy to make sure if a transgender competes, that it is fair to the women. That is how we worked out the transgender policy.”

“It’s different in different sports; we are a strength sport so of course, it is different from other sport and so we worked out a long time this policy but Canada never did follow that policy,” he continued. “They risk to be suspended if they do not follow that policy.”

IPF rules state that a man competing against women, which refer to a man identifying as a woman as “her,” must “demonstrate that her total testosterone level in serum has been equal or below 2.4 nanomoles per litre (nmol/L) and/or free testosterone equal or below 0.433 nmol/dL (or at or below the upper limit of normal of a particular laboratory reference) for at least 12 months prior to her first competition …”

“The athlete’s total testosterone level in serum must remain at or below 2.4 nmol/litre (nmol/L) and free testosterone at or below 0.433 nmol/L (or at or below the upper limit of normal of the laboratory reference) throughout the period of desired eligibility to compete in the female category,” the rules continue. “Compliance with these conditions must be monitored by testing at interval as determined by IPF Medical Commission. In the event of non-compliance, the athlete’s eligibility for female competition is suspended and reapplication for validity to compete in female category is required. “

The IPF warning follows powerlifter April Hutchinson firing a salvo targeting transgender powerlifter Anne Andres after he reportedly set a women’s national powerlifting record and an unofficial women’s world record at a championship in Brandon, Manitoba.

Andres, 40, had a total powerlifting score (based on the total of the heaviest weight lifted for the bench press, and deadlift and squat) of 597.5kg, (roughly 1,317 pounds) over 200 kg more than the top-ranked woman, SuJan Gil, who had a score of 387.5kg (854 pounds), at the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s 2023 Western Canadian Championship, according to Reduxx.

“Andres’ total would have placed him amongst the top-performing male powerlifters in the entire championship had he participated in the men’s category,” Reduux pointed out.

This is NOT a legitimate 🇨🇦National Record.
This is a mediocre lift by a mediocre male who is being allowed to lift against women because… hair colour? 🤔
Shame on the Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU).
This is discrimination against the female competitors.#SaveWomensSports pic.twitter.com/F8mdFpnz01

“It’s been very disheartening,” April Hutchinson, a Canadian competitive powerlifter, said on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “For example, that national record that he broke — athletes have been chasing that for years. And we’re talking top athletes who have been training, and training, and training. It goes to show the advantages, the physiological advantages that a male has over a female, whether it’s muscle mass, bone density, lung capacity. I could go on.”

“A lot of women yesterday dropped out of the competition because they knew that Anne would be lifting,” Hutchinson continued. “They dropped, they quit, they wrote to the federation, and the federation basically did nothing about it.”
