Is Insanity too strong a Word?
An article recently published on the website of Not The Bee featured a photo of the track team of a Connecticut high school named Old Saybrook which included 11 lovely young biological females dwarfed by the presence of a 6 ft. 3 transgender who clearly weighs well over 200 pounds. Rose McNaughton, the person in …
The Color of his Skin, he says, is Irrelevant
On May 19 The Daily Wire posted a wonderful interview conducted by Ben Shapiro with Black commentator/writer Coleman Hughes who recently published a work entitled “The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America.” Hughes quite rightly sees Critical Race Theory as a latter day permutation of Marxism which simply replaces “economic injustice” with …

Hope for the Future?
Emily Wilson, whose online site is entitled “Emily Saves America,” was a devout liberal just a few years ago given to examining the views of people like Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and others whom she assumed she would despise. To her amazement, however, she discovered they were all intelligent, courageous beings who inspired …
A Despicable Double Standard!
On Jan. 3 of 2022, Associated Press published an article by Michael Biesecker entitled: “Ashli Babbitt a martyr? Her past tells a more complex story.” Babbitt was shot to death by a cop as she sought to climb through a broken window of the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. Biesecker goes on at some …
