I SEE A HALLMARK MOVIE IN THE MAKING:

RILEY GAINES: Olympics finally picks biology over ideology to save women’s sports.

The International Olympic Committee finally did what so many of us have been demanding for years: it drew a clear, unambiguous line in the sand to protect women’s sports. Under its first-ever female president, Kirsty Coventry, the IOC announced a new eligibility policy that limits competition in the female category at the Olympics, Youth Olympics and all IOC-sanctioned events to females only. Novel concept, right? In today’s world, it is.

Starting with the 2028 Los Angeles Games, this will be verified through a simple, one-time SRY gene screening — a cheek swab, saliva sample, or blood draw — to confirm the absence of the male sex-determining gene. Chromosomes don’t lie. No more gray areas. No more pretending biology is optional.

This is a giant leap forward for women’s sports. They’ve done the right thing with a strong, clear policy. No equivocation, no tap-dancing, no pretense of “balancing priorities.” And they’ve backed it up with an objective, verifiable means of enforcement. Those responsible this time around deserve real congratulations.

We’re finally developing immunity to the social contagion.

IT’S COME TO THIS: Kristi Noem’s husband seen ‘pouting in photos with fake breasts.’

Bryon Noem, the husband of former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, was reported to have a secret double life as a model for adult entertainers.

Hundreds of online messages reviewed by The Daily Mail, involving three women in the “bimbofication” scene, in which performers dress as real-life Barbie dolls. The alleged messages indicate that Bryon praised the performers’ surgically-enhanced bodies and even, allegedly, confessed to how he lusted for “huge, huge ridiculous boobs.”

In one selfie shared by the insurance mogul, Bryon can be seen slipping into a flesh-colored crop top and skintight pink shorts. It also appeared that Bryon managed to stuff two balloons inside his shirt to resemble breasts and positioned the knots to resemble nipples.

• Trump grills aides on Kristi Noem’s alleged lover profiting off her $220M ad campaign

• Kristi Noem caught in awkward moment with husband as she’s questioned about alleged lover

Another photo obtained by The Daily Mail shows the father of three wearing a form-fitting pair of green leggings with a white top over two orbs. In a bizarre twist, Bryon’s face is fully visible in both photos.

Well, now we know why Noem was fired by Trump at the beginning of the month. But perhaps her husband is angling for a job in the next Democratic administration:

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Ex-Amazon Studios Head Slams Woke Hollywood.

Price stepped aside as head and founder of Amazon Studios, the company behind the Ryan Gosling smash, before it conquered Hollywood.

Price can still appreciate both the film and the message it hopes to share with major movie studios.

Audiences want to be entertained, not lectured. “Project Hail Mary” does the former oh, so well.

Price shared a jaw-dropping op-ed in, of all places, The New York Times, slamming Hollywood for losing the plot. It’s why the film industry is in big trouble, he argues. The only hope may be more movies like “Project Hail Mary.”

Smart. Uplifting. Original. Human.

Fun.

Fun sells tickets and popcorn. Lectures, not so much.

ALLIES:

But there’s this from the full report: “Corriere della Sera added ‌that ⁠permission was not granted as the U.S. had not sought authorisation and Italy’s military leadership was not consulted, as required under treaties governing ​the use ​of U.S. ⁠military installations in the country.”

Bad communications, perhaps?
