Lefties are still upset that Trump is reinstating the presidential fitness standards for students.

Trump focus on health is not 'inclusive' enough

A history professor said she generally supports President Donald Trump's interest in promoting health but criticized his plan to revive the Presidential Fitness Test.

Don't buy this jive turkey's jive that she supports Trump's health initiatives generally. You'll see.

"Trump is reviving an outdated and problematic practice for American schoolkids," reads the headline of Professor Natalia Petrzela's recent essay for MSNBC.

...

Petrzela criticized the appearance of a WWE wrestler, Paul Levesque, at the press conference.

"The swaggering, solo, white machismo is obvious -- and about as far a cry as it gets from Beyoncé dancing with a cafeteria full of New York City schoolkids to promote the Obamas' program," The New School professor wrote. "And of course, the WWE is primarily an entertainment franchise, not an athletic one, a fact that is both perfectly on brand for the Trump administration and further suggests this effort might be more show than substance."

1, of course you're yammering about Beyonce, who is the only person anyone is allowed to look up to because she's black and a feminist.

2, you just objected to including a WWE wrestler because he's in the entertainment business, not athletics -- and then you immediately praise Beyonce, a singing whore with more plastic in her than a 1984 Corvette, as a great athletic hero for children.

I'm serious about this -- are all professors, you know, actually retarded now? Are they incapable of following their own line of argument within a single paragraph?

"I too am deeply concerned about the lack of exercise among American children and adults, and am thrilled this is an administration priority," she wrote.

Oh yeah, obviously. Big fan. It's so apparent.

But the professor also criticized Trump for not focusing on an "inclusive" approach to sports like that of President John F. Kennedy.

"Gone is JFK's emphasis on inclusive, publicly funded recreation," she wrote. "And, crucially, JFK supported vaccines and Medicare."

That's her idea of "inclusive health initiatives" -- injections and subsidies.

I wanted to warn all of you about this, because I know my readership tends to be good-looking and fit and getting all kinds of GAINZZZ.

But be aware: People may see your fitness and hotness and brand you as MAGA due to your healthiness and good looks.

Since President Donald Trump's return to the White House, I've noticed a steady stream of rhetoric that attempts to make health and fitness partisan.

If you're fit and enjoy working out (or even sport a tan), chances are there's a progressive who will eye you with suspicion of being MAGA.

t's an extreme example of the "if-Trump-is-for-it, we-must-be-adamantly-against-it" mentality that has infected the left.

To borrow a phrase from former Democratic vice presidential contender Tim Walz, it's weird.

...

The rise in obesity and the decline in health is especially disheartening when it comes to the country's kids.

According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2024 report, about 20% of children are obese (2 in 5 adults are obese). That's a sharp increase from when childhood obesity rates were 5% in the 1970s.

Not only is this a national health concern, it's a national security one, as Trump acknowledges in his executive order.

The CDC report found that only 2 in 5 young adults are weight-eligible and active enough to serve in the military.

Yet, Trump's commonsense approach to boost fitness was met with consternation among media progressives.

"Trump is reviving an outdated and problematic practice for American schoolkids," proclaimed MSNBC.

"Generations of Americans who struggled to complete a pull-up in front of their classmates winced as President Trump announced that he was reinstating the annual assessment," The New York Times opined.

Leftists also have thoughts about fitness for adults and what it says about conservatism.

Earlier this year, fitness influencer MaryBeth Monaco-Vavrik posted a video that went viral connecting the "popularization of Pilates & running instead of strength training ... and the rise of extreme American authoritarianism." She also equated conservatism with "smaller bodies."

It may surprise you to learn that this woman is conventionally fit. But she's using her own fitness to sell obesity and ill-health to leftwing women.

Men, on the other hand, must avoid looking too manly and the trap of toxic masculinity and the "manosphere," which liberals tell us have flourished under Trump. For instance, actor Sacha Baron Cohen's appearance on the August cover of Men's Fitness UK sparked criticism over his newly chiseled body.

One headline said his physique "is repellent to most women."

...

In 2024, a columnist in The Guardian warned, "There is a dark side to wellness, which I always, for shorthand, thought of as political: getting fit makes you more rightwing."

And now, enjoying sunshine and getting a tan could mark you as a MAGA fanatic. After all, Trump and his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., sport a perennial bronze shade.

As The Atlantic recently observed: "Tanning is back. Only this time, it's not just about looking good -- it's about embracing an entire ideology."

Absolutely vile lunatics.

I've been getting some GAINZZZ. I've stuck to vigorous walking (so long as it's not 100 degrees outside or p*ssing rain).

Another study proves the value of just walking around for a spell.

An analysis of over 36,000 people with high blood pressure has shown that taking more steps, even below the recommended daily target of 10,000 steps, and walking faster, is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of major problems of the heart and blood vessels.

The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that compared to a daily step count of 2,300 steps, every extra 1,000 steps was linked to a 17% reduction in the risk of developing a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), up to 10,000 steps. Additional steps above 10,000 were associated with a lower risk of stroke.

...

Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, Director of the Mackenzie Wearables Research Hub at the University of Sydney, Australia, who supervised the study, said, "This study is one of the first to demonstrate a dose-response relationship between daily step count and major problems of the heart and blood vessels.

"In a nutshell, we found that, if you live with high blood pressure, the more you walk with greater intensity, the lower your risk for future serious cardiovascular events.

By the way, the leftwing propaganda media is continuing its five-days-old psyop claiming that only a few "online weirdos" pushed the Sydney Sweeney White Supremacy meme, so rightwingers are the ones really "obsessed" with it and must stop blaming Democrats.

John Sexton quotes the New York Times' effort.

They claimed that progressives were up in arms over the intentional double-entendre with the word "genes," suggesting it was winking at eugenics or white supremacy.

In reality, most progressives weren't worked up much at all.

Criticism of the ad campaign had come almost entirely from a smattering of accounts with relatively few followers, according to an analysis of social media data by The New York Times.

A "smattering of accounts with relatively few followers."

One video accusing the brand of Nazis got four million views.

Initial reactions were largely apolitical, though some progressives criticized the ad's sexual overtones while some on the right applauded a return to "traditional advertising" in what they viewed as a step away from more diverse representations. But on the fringes of sites including TikTok and X, some users began suggesting that the campaign had a more subtle and menacing message tied to eugenics: that blond, blue-eyed looks are somehow superior.

One video getting four million views is "the fringes of TikTok"?

"She has good jeans like she has good GENES! hahahaha like in a nazi way!!" stated a July 25 post on X that drew over five million views. The next day, a video on TikTok that also made a comparison to Nazism drew 3.5 million views.

So who's to blame for this misrepresentation of the sane and sober left forming a slavering cancel mob over nothing at all? Who is the guilty party in spreading this RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION about leftwing influencers and drama-farmers shrieking about White Supremacy for going on three weeks?

Would you believe... it's all Libs of TikTok's fault?

Again?

The tide began to shift on July 27, when large right-wing accounts such as Libs of TikTok began reposting critiques of the American Eagle campaign, mocking them as examples of "triggered" liberals. "Keep this up Democrats," posted the account, which is run by a woman named Chaya Raichik and has 4.3 million followers on X. "This is going to be great for you guys."

BTW, you see once again that all of the NPCs say the same thing. First someone says it on Slate or New Republic, then Rolling Stone says the same thing, then the NYT says the same thing. Once one of these idiots is infected with the Retarded Meme of the Day, they're all repeating it verbatim within hours.

They're liars. For one thing, it wasn't "just a few online weirdos," it was dozens of prominent" influencers, and we know that female and minority influencers strongly influence the Democrat Party.

And of course, the leftwing media itself pushed it hard:

Leftwing women are also melting down about sorority sisters doing dances to drum up interest in joining them.

I guess in a couple of days Dave Weigel will tell us that no leftwing women melted down over this video, it was all LibsofTikTok's doing.

YMCA, huh? Might as well be dancing to the Horst Wessel Leid, nein?

Strom comments:

This version of sexuality is innocent in the way that Tracey and Hepburn movies were, which is to say they are and are not. They are suggestive, but only because we recognize the unspoken and unseen. They are red-blooded, not pornographic in the way that the alphabet crowd is.

The reason why the left is going nuts over them is that they are not Queer. They celebrate the differences between the sexes, at least implicitly.

This trend is not really a rebirth of the old ways, but a symbol that the left can no longer suppress the natural exuberance that comes from healthy human relations.
