The Supreme Court Knows What a Woman Is After All
In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily struck down the Biden Administration’s attempt to effectively nullify Title IX by redefining sex according to “gender identity”.
Monkeypox: The Latest Planned Panic
Now that the monkeypox hysteria is back, we can expect the news media to avoid the mistakes it made last time, instead trying to mainstream the illness and downplay the stories of gay “parents” infecting the children placed in their care (or purchased through surrogacy).

Don’t allow rhetoric against radicalization to be used to silence the only remaining honest sources of news.
