White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told Fox News Monday that President Donald Trump’s condition amid his COVID-19 diagnosis is still improving and he’s “optimistic” that Trump “will be able to return to the White House later today,” according to Fox News Chief White House Correspondent John Roberts. Trump’s doctors also said the President could be released Monday if his condition continued to improve.

The President began his treatment shortly after being diagnosed with COVID-19 and after he was transferred from the White House to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday. During his treatment at the hospital, Trump has received a cocktail of drugs including the anti-viral medication Remdesivir, monoclonal antibodies, and an anti-inflammatory steroid dexamethasone. Trump also reportedly briefly received oxygen when his levels dropped on Friday.

Trump has been in good spirits and is still working in his official capacity, according to his doctors and the President himself, who has been delivering messages to his Twitter followers in videos he’s posted to his Twitter profile throughout the weekend. Trump also surprised a number of his supporters stationed outside of the hospital Sunday with a motorcade drive by.

Lia Thomas, trans female swimmer was honored Sunday in a panel on ESPN celebrating “Women’s History Month.”

Thomas was a former swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania and his decision to compete against women after his transgender surgery spurred controversy.  The issue of trans-females competing in female sports has been the most questioned cultural manifestation in modern times. It started with Renee Richards, a transgender, who decided to compete against women in tennis after leaving a career as a male tennis player.

Many women and even feminists have urged lawmakers that allowing trans women to compete in female sports is not progressive but rather regressive and is a step backwards for women’s rights.

“The average man is much stronger then the average women,” according to Matt Brzycki Coordinator of Health Fitness, Strength and Conditioning Programs Princeton University. In the ESPN segment Thomas echoed what she believes other think saying, ‘Oh, she just transitioned so she would have an advantage so she could win.’ I transitioned to be happy.”

Although Thomas may have transitioned for what she claims to be personal reasons does this mean it can be at at the risk of taking happiness away from all the female swimmers who don’t stand a chance against someone who is a biological male. Riley Gains a swimmer from the University of Kentucky slammed Lia Thomas on twitter saying “Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title. He is an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman.”

If equity is what the woke-left is looking for then why has a Trans competing league not been created so we can avoid all of this together and create an environment for all groups to stand a chance?

Well, the World Athletics said it would exclude transgender female athletes who have been through male puberty from world rankings competitions, according to Fox News. The news report also quoted Sebastion Coe of World Athletics saying, “Decisions are always difficult when they involve conflicting needs and rights between different groups, but we continue to take the view that we must maintain fairness for female athletes above all other considerations,” he said. “We will be guided in this by the science around physical performance and male advantage, which will inevitably develop over the coming years. As more evidence becomes available, we will review our position, but we believe the integrity of the female category in athletics is paramount.”
