The Enemy of the Truth is the Myth

“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.” – John F. Kennedy

“Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.” – Arthur Conan Doyle


An Office of Strategic Studies (now the CIA) report titled “A Psychological Analysis of Adolf Hitler: His Life and LegendWalter C. Langer stated:

His [Hitler’s] primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

Does this sound familiar? Are these rules used by politicians at every level in America today? Is truth being replaced by big lies or by myths?

Truth is now at risk in the world.

Truth is the bedrock of any moral culture and healthy society. Without truth there is no justice. Telling the truth is fundamental to the wellbeing of individuals, families, workers, leaders, law enforcement officers, members of the military, judges, juries, journalists, artists, doctors, nurses, scientists and of course the politicians.

English writer Al David wrote, One lie has the power to tarnish a thousand truths.” While this may be true it is also true that every myth is the mortal enemy of truth.

As John Fitzgerald Kennedy said the enemy of truth is the myth.

QUESTION: What myths are now driving the world and now our nation?

Truths and Myths

We have compiled a list of myths that have taken root in the world and many of these myths have come across the porous borders of America to destroy the truth.

The following are some of the myths we have seen over our lifetime:

  1. The world is going to end because of climate change (a.k.a. global warming, global cooling, the weather).
  2. Government is God (i.e. government is the only means to make you happy, healthy and wise).
  3. Communism is better than capitalism (e.g. central control of the means of production is better than an individual’s right to purse his or her happiness)
  4. Guns, not people, murder (e.g. the instrument used to murder another is the real culprit, not the individual using that instrument to commit murder).
  5. There is no God (see #2 above). No further explanation needed.
  6. Going into debt is good (e.g. nations indebting their citizens is needed in order to care for its citizens).
  7. Human beings evolved from apes (i.e. you are evolved from gorillas, bonobos, orangutans, etc.).
  8. Humans use only 10% of their brains.
  9. Intelligent Quotient (IQ) testing is racist (e.g. testing a person’s intelligence is harmful and hurtful especially for minorities).
  10. A mother killing her unborn child is a woman and only a woman’s choice (i.e. my body my choice).
  11. Islam is the religion of peace and if you imply otherwise you are Islamophobic (e.g. shouting Allah Akbar in a crowded theatre is okay).
  12. If you believe that gender is binary (male and female) and your believe marriage is between one man and one woman your are homophobic (e.g. J.K. Rawlings)
  13. Government can spend its way out of debt.
  14. Politicians have your best interests at heart.
  15. Men continue to oppress women and must be stopped at all cost (i.e. the feminist movement vs the alpha male).
  16. Government can provide you with everything if you just let it (e.g. Karl Marx).
  17. The police are evil and must be defunded.
  18. Black lives matter more than any other lives.
  19. Peaceful demonstrations include looting, burning down buildings and attacking innocent individuals randomly.
  20. You don’t need identification in order to vote (i.e. voter ID)
  21. You can vote in any country even if you are not a legal citizen of that country.
  22. Eliminating a country’s borders is a good thing.
  23. Social justice trumps equal justice under the law.
  24. If you are born white you are a supremacist.
  25. If you believe in one all powerful God then you are an enemy of the state.
  26. What you read on the internet, watch on the news and read in your local newspaper is the truth.
  27. The Torah and Bible are filled with lies that have become the opiate of the people.
  28. Finally, there is no need for any Jude’s Christian God but it’s okay to follow Mohammed.

Myths are now driving global public policies. Those who stand against these myths, like parents questioning what their children are taught in public schools, are now considered domestic terrorists by various governments.

Truth is absolute. The truth will set you free. Tyrants fear the truth. The truth is the greatest enemy of the state.

Myths are the preferred tools of the dictator (e.g. Hitler and the Jews). Hitler and the Nazi Party understood that, “Repeating a lie often enough and it eventually becomes the truth.”

History has proven that telling a myth often enough eventually makes the people believe that the myth is the truth.

The more “persistent, persuasive and unrealistic” the myth the better for the tyrants, the worse for the people of the world.

As Elvis Presley said, “Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t goin’ away.”

If you have more myths that you wish to share please add them in the comment section below and we will update this column.

Thanks for reading and sharing this column.

Crime and No Punishment

In the classic sitcom from the 1960s, “Get Smart,” the bad guys were from an organization called “Chaos.” The good guys, led by Maxwell Smart, were called “Control.”

Today, chaos is often prevailing over control. Only this isn’t a comedy, and the results are tragic.

We are experiencing a crime wave seldom seen in previous times in America.

Murders are up. ABC News notes:

“At least 12 major U.S. cities have broken annual homicide records in 2021—and there’s still three weeks to go in the year.” One police captain said it’s “worse than a war zone around here lately.”

But homicide isn’t the only crime that is way up. On “Black Friday,” when stores are supposed to have such strong sales because of Christmas (putting them in the black), many businesses were instead hit with a rash of smash-and-grab robberies across the country. Home Depots, Nordstrom’s, Best Buys, Foot Lockers and others have been hit in places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

NBCChicago.com (11/27/21) reports,

“Police are alerting businesses in Chicago to recent thefts of purses at retail shops….The thieves flee in vehicles, most of which were reported stolen.”

Fox32 of Chicago reports on a robbery over this past weekend, in which luxury jewelry items were stolen. Yet Mayor Lori Lightfoot apparently blames the companies hit. She recently said,

“I’m disappointed that they are not doing more to take safety and make it a priority.”

In early December, thousands of dollars’ worth of toys and other goods for Christmas were gathered by a non-profit in Chicago to help the underprivileged—and were stolen under cover of night.

When California Governor Gavin Newsom was on “The View,” Joy Behar, no friend of conservatives, told him,

“Critics in law enforcement blame this on your lax bail and theft policies emboldening criminals.”

Newsom responded that the crimes like this are just as bad in Texas as they are in California, only Fox News won’t show that. The claim is misleading at best.

What’s going on? An incessant call for defunding the police is taking its toll. Meanwhile, we have crime with no punishment. Leftist prosecutors, district attorneys, and judges are letting many criminals go with a slap on the wrist, if that. Recently a career criminal who tried to run over his wife with a car in Wisconsin was released on a mere $1000 bail—only to purposely drive into a Christmas parade two days later killing six and injuring 62.

Some of those magistrates (including the prosecutor who let the parade killer out) have been elected with money pouring in from George Soros, an atheist who wants to see America (his adopted country) brought down several pegs.

I interviewed Rabbi Daniel Lapin, founder of the American Alliance of Jews and Christians, for our D. James Kennedy Ministries television special on Soros.

The rabbi told our viewers, “There’s no question that Soros money and Soros-inspired money is flowing into the crowds busy smashing plate glass windows in the cities of Denver, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, and in cities everywhere else around the country.”

As Tucker Carlson of Fox News has pointed out, as quoted in Newsweek:

“[Soros’] latest area of focus is criminal justice. From Texas to Philadelphia [and] the state of Virginia, Soros has reportedly spent millions of dollars backing candidates for District Attorney, for prosecutor. Once elected, these candidates…have ended cash bail, treated felonies like misdemeanors, and sometimes ignored some crimes entirely.”

Rabbi Lapin adds,

“Does he want chaos in the streets? Absolutely, that has always been the dream of the revolutionaries. It’s always been the fervent desire of those who understand that in order to rebuild society, you first of all have to destroy what is.”

The founders of America were very concerned about order in society.

What’s happening in America today with our crime wave is bad anthropology run amok. Biblical anthropology asserts that man is sinful and crimes need to be punished. Bad anthropology, like that espoused by Marxists, asserts that man is basically good—but that it’s society or structures that are bad and need to be torn down. Instead, the theory goes, we will rebuild these structures to be more just, affirming the goodness of man. We see the results now being carried out by coddled criminals on the streets.

What horrors Marxism has unleashed on planet earth. Yet it continues to exert its demonic influence. These magistrates, many funded by the George Soros the Marxist, are among the latest examples.

And we all suffer—especially the poorest among us—who lack stronger security measures.

The founders of America showed a better way to live in a controlled society, with liberty under the rule of law. How much better that is than the chaos that so many leftist elitists try to unleash on the rest of us.

10 Undeniable Proofs That Mask Mandates Work

Still don’t believe mask mandates work? Over and over, we’ve screamed “DIE, YOU SCIENCE DENIER!” in your face, and yet you still doubt the science.

Once and for all, we bring you indisputable scientific proof that mask mandates just work, period:

1) Look at this simple bar graph: SCIENCE.

2) Florida never imposed mask mandates, and now they’re all dead: It is literally a barren wasteland of corpses lying on the beach, playing pickleball, going to restaurants, etc.

3) Intellectual juggernauts from “The View” say so: Not even the brilliant AOC would dare challenge the incomparable wisdom of the show’s co-hosts.

4) The COVID can’t get into your body if you literally can’t breathe: Mandates: 1, COVID: 0.

5) Very low rates of infection among old-timey stagecoach robbers: Have you ever heard of an old western robber dying of COVID? No, you haven’t. There’s a reason for that.

6) The science is settled. Until it changes: But if you question it now, you’re anti-science, even if the science later agrees with you.

7) Residents of Antarctica wear face coverings outdoors: Zero COVID.

8) All the politicians and celebrities follow the mandates, and they know best: Hell will freeze over before we hear of an elected official breaking their own mask mandate.

9) If it doesn’t work, why is it mandated by the government? Checkmate.

10) The CDC has reams of scientific studies proving mask mandates work: And they will happily publish them in 75 years.

U.S. Sending Hashtags to Taiwan to Fend off Chinese Invasion

China has made over 140 sorties with combat aircraft near Taiwan’s airspace in a four-day period. The act of provocation was met swiftly and decisively by our Defense and State Departments.

At a White House press conference, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin warned, “First, we are going to vet all of our senior officers to assure that none of them have made any racially motivated jokes about Asians since kindergarten. If anything inappropriate is found out, they will be relieved of command immediately. We want the world to know that we will not tolerate extremism. Secondly, we are going to demand that the People’s Liberation Army use gender appropriate pronouns throughout all their ranks. Let Beijing be warned not to take us lightly on this. We have #respectallgenders hashtags ready to deploy in both English and Mandarin, and we’re not afraid to use them.”

Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, followed with equally stern warnings: “We are in a stare-down with the Chinese military, and we’re not going to blink. I would urge the Chinese government not to misread our hasty, ill-planned, and disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan as an indication that America is lacking sound leadership. As we speak, military transport aircraft are en-route to Taiwan with #pleasedontbombus and #gunfreezone hashtags. These too are written in both English and Mandarin and make our message clear to allies and potential foes alike.”

When asked whether the stockpiling of hashtags was premature, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated, “While some see the deployment of these hashtags as unnecessarily provocative, let me assure you that they will actually bring stability to the region and make the world safer. I am personally standing by with a red, white, and blue dress, a piece of posterboard, and a sharpie. I will declare #unitedfortaiwan so fast they won’t know what hit them. I did it for Ukraine and I’ll do it again for Taiwan. Don’t test us.”

Ending the conference by dramatically leaning forward to the microphone, President Biden, scowling behind his favorite pair of aviator shades, warned in a menacing whisper, “Let there be no doubt about the, you know, the thing.” Chinese intelligence officers are not completely sure whether “the thing” is a cryptic reference to a stockpile of nuclear hashtags which the United States has previously denied possessing.

Meanwhile – Back in the Swamp!

Our corrupt elites never fail to disappoint.  In recent weeks:

Chuck Schumer, who criticized President Trump for being in bed with Russia, along with other top Democrats took campaign contributions from a prominent Democrat fundraiser whose lobbying firm received $8.5 million from the Nord Stream 2 pipeline which is owned by Gazprom, the Russian state-run energy giant.  Schumer recently refused to have a floor vote on sanctions against Russia.  No conflict of interest here, nosiree.

Then, again, congress critters are not known for their high ethical standards.  Nancy Pelosi’s husband owns up to a million dollars in call options on Tesla stock, while Nancy is out there pushing federal subsidies for electric vehicles to the tune of tens of billions of dollars for charging stations and tax credits.  It might all be legal, but it sure stinks -p-ew! – and Nancy won’t comment.

Lawmakers are supposed to report stock trades but seven of them – four Democrats and three Republicans – did not, according to an ethics watchdog group that filed complaints.   One lawmaker failed to report 300 transactions.  Critics say lawmakers are finding ways around reporting requirements and little is being done to enforce the rules.

Democrat Maxine Waters paid her daughter another $81,000 in campaign funds in fiscal 2021, raising the total to more than $1.2 million since 2003.  Nice work, if you can get it, but most of us can’t.

A Democrat Congresswoman from Florida used her official Twitter account to push followers to her Senate campaign account, apparently violating House rules against using taxpayer-funded resources for campaign purposes, critics said.

Speaking of campaign contributions, a health firm in California whose personnel donated almost a million dollars to Joe Biden and other Democrat campaigns was just ordered to pay $90 million to settle claims it had defrauded Medicare.  Worst case, this is an example of companies greasing the palms of politicians in the hopes they will look the other way when it comes to questionable activities.

A lawsuit is alleging the EPA violated the law when it threw out a Trump administration conflict of interest rule in order to replace Trump appointees on advisory committees.  “In an unprecedented purge, EPA eliminated all industry representatives from two important advisory committees in order to stack those committees with academics who are financially beholden to EPA for multimillion-dollar research grants,” the complaint reads.  People dependent on the EPA for their livelihood now passing judgment on what the EPA wants to do – imagine that.

Over at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the agency announced its intention to prohibit the use of education benefits at some for-profit schools, but investor activity in the stocks affected picked up before the announcement was made.  Some are concerned the announcement was either mishandled or intentionally leaked to facilitate insider trading.

Finally, sixteen Biden appointees have gotten ethics waivers exempting them from the ethics rules other people have to follow.  Observers anticipate the adventures of these swamp creatures will become the subject of congressional investigations if Republicans take over the House or Senate next year.  We can only hope.  We deserve better than swamp gas, don’t we?

Fauci & Mengele: Evil, for the Greater Good

Two doctors, almost a century apart, united in a common purpose. 


Respected South African TV and radio journalist and war correspondent Lara Logan recently triggered leftist ire when she compared Dr. Anthony Fauci, with the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele.  “What you see on Dr. Fauci, this is what people say to me, that he doesn’t represent science to them. He represents Josef Mengele … the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps . . . The level of suffering that has been created because of this disease is now being seen in the cold light of day, i.e., the truth, the people see there is no justification for what is being done.”

Mengele was notorious for causing serious harm and injustice – torturous experimental procedures and surgeries on Jews primarily, but also on Romani and others.  If we review Fauci’s history and allow him to continue ad infinitum, there’s no telling that he may well exceed Mengele’s title, “Doctor of Death.”  The experiments performed by both were often touted as being for the greater good, that the intense suffering of some is acceptable for medical advancements that benefit the more worthy.

The world has been made aware of Fauci’s painful experiments on dogs, whose vocal chords were cut to eliminate their barks and whimpers, and on monkeys, without benefit of pain killers or anesthesia.  Research in psychology and criminology shows that animal abuse is not just the sign of the abuser’s minor personality flaw, but a symptom of deep mental disturbance.  They will move on to cruelty to their fellow humans – and he has.

We now know that Fauci used tax-payer dollars for NIH-funded experiments performed on hundreds of AIDs orphans in a New York City hospital in 2004, resulting in the death of more than 200.  Nurses revealed that they tested Thalidomide on some children, a medication already known to produce severe birth defects in thousands of children.  One report said that pregnant women or those considering pregnancy were forbidden to dispense the drug, yet it was administered to children through a G-tube directly into the stomach and intestines.  The children “shriveled and died,” but it was deemed for the greater good.

There is a growing body of research that links cruelty to animals to cruelty to people: both are living beings, both feel pain, experience distress, and may die.  Fauci’s insistence that the current insufficiently tested chemicals be given to everyone, from infants to the elderly, despite the revelation of ensuing heart muscle damage, nerve damage, and serious muscle pain, reveals his bent toward apathy and cruelty.  Fauci and his associates are serial killers.

Today’s injections of presumed cures for COVID-19 are coming under intense scrutiny, with reports of raised welts at the point of entry; followed by nausea and swollen lymph nodes; followed by symptoms of Guillain-Barre syndrome (neurological disorders), thrombosis (blood clots), and myocarditis (inflammation of heart muscle), spontaneous abortions, miscarriages, eventual cancer, damaged immune systems, and death.   World Health Organization’s VigiAccess provides public access to the reported potential side effects of 24 medicinal products.  With the second-highest number of deaths for influenza vaccine noted at 272,202 (1968-2021), the absolute highest is for the COVID-19 vaccine at 2,457,386 (2020-2021).    Nothing else comes close.

A December 5, 2021 report from Americasfrontlinedoctors.org published news of  Vaccine-Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS), that we will soon become aware of widespread immune erosion.  The vaccinated will be more vulnerable to illness and death than the unvaccinated.

The UK’s Lancet studies of 1.6 million Swedish individuals shows the vaccinated were at greater risk than the unvaccinated; a sign of “immune erosion” or “acquired immune deficiency,” leading to the aforementioned post-vaccine illnesses, resulting in either chronic illness or death.

Scotland reported that the infection fatality rate is 3.3 higher in the vaccinated than in the unvaccinated, the risk of death 2.15 times higher.

An Israeli report of August 17, 2021 revealed that the severe cases are the fully vaccinated who account for 85-90 percent of the hospitalization.  Their infection fatality rate is 3.3 times higher for the vaccinated than for the unvaccinated, and that 3,133 people contracted the illness from the vaccinated individuals.

The insanity continues when people refuse the shots.  They are threatened with job loss, banned from attending functions or shopping, and put under lockdown, including serious and prolonged self-imprisonment in some countries.

This is not the government’s strong desire to protect its citizenry for the greater good, but the worldwide plan of the Marxist’s Great Reset, and the numerous ways that have been set into motion to control and eliminate large swaths of people (billions) for depopulation without casting suspicion on the “well engineered bioweapon toxin,” the spike protein.  Dr. Shankara Chetty explained, “They’ve engineered a virus and put this weapons-grade package onto it, called ‘spike protein’ . . . The vaccine will kill at least 1,000,000,000 people.”

Now we come to the opposition to Lara Logan’s position, the Jewish groups that are protective of the Holocaust, that the term may not be used in vain.  They fear that by using it for issues other than the Nazi genocide, the severity of the term may be diminished.  They understandably seek to protect the use of its application, but Logan did not say “Holocaust.”  She said that Fauci “represents Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps.”   Clearly, she was referring to the psychology that explains how humans can view others as guinea pigs, lower life forms.  She was perfectly correct.  The two share that similarity and who is to say how far Fauci would go if he were allowed to continue.

There are also Jews (who disassociate or are self-hating) whose psychology has never been completely understood, not for lack of trying.   They are uncomfortable with the mildest reference to the Nazi killing machine, preferring to disengage from the nightmare.  They may be escaping painful memories or family history, but keep their identity rather than convert to another religion.  They remain recognizable but choose to distance themselves from the entire Yiddishkeit of Eastern Europe and the successes of modern-day Israel.

There are also Jews who are simply antisemitic, such as in the ADL, who stray from their mission to fight defamation.  They feature antisemitic speakers who openly express their hatred of Israel.  The now-woke CEO Jonathan Greenblatt has begun telling the Jews that they must fight their own anti-black racism.  How ludicrous indeed when Israeli Jews includes Jews of color.  The ADL raises funds presumably for Jewish issues but uses them for other causes.  Greenblatt has joined George Soros, Bill Gates, and other globalists in the not-so-secret globalist meetings in Aspen. They hate their heritage (Judaism and America) but pretend otherwise so as to continue inflicting harm.  The ADL is not worrying about trivializing the Holocaust.  They are worried that they’ll be drumming up more sympathy for Jewish causes.

Lara Logan sees the comparisons of Fauci and Mengele as a way of awakening the masses.  We learned the extent of Mengele’s deeds after World War II; we may not learn Fauci’s totals until after this war against civilization.  Fauci, the revered scientist, and Gates, the benevolent philanthropist, are protected by our media and this administration.  The suffering of  people who’ve had the injections and the looming misery by the delayed spike proteins remain in question, but there are courageous voices who are beginning to speak out.  Not everyone has access to unexpurgated news, and there are those who would rather not know, so they cover their ears and their faces, trust a socialist government that claims to be working for the greater good, and obey without question.

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko has warned that administering the experimental gene therapy, called “vaccines,” is mass murder, crimes against humanity, but who’s listening?  Zelenko tried cautioning Israel, but the state is still injecting its citizens.  Pfizer has bullied several countries into taking the shots and has signed documents against their liability for harm.  Pfizer has paid out hundreds of billions of dollars for severe harm caused to children; few are aware, or accept the suffering of others for the greater good.

Lara Logan quoted what she observed.  There are no trains to concentration camps or extermination camps, but there is already news that Austria and Germany are Nazifying again with lockdowns for as long as 20 months to date, comparable to incarcerations.  Severe fines are among the punishments for walking without injection confirmation – “Your papers, please.”  Australia is beyond incomprehensible.  Do we really want to allow our government to exercise such police-state control over our citizens?  Logan is right to expose what she can – the number of sick, hospitalized, permanently damaged, breathing problems, nerve damage, and heart muscle damage much worse after COVID jabs than all other vaccines.  We must also alert the public about the number of children who are whisked off by school authorities for injections without parental knowledge.  This is medical tyranny, and they’re now coming for the babies.

Logan used the example of Mengele to call to our attention the increasing dangers.  This is a new world, with new techniques, but the same justification, that they have our welfare in mind; it is for the greater good.   This is a modernized world with new techniques – invasion without tanks, death without bombs – but we still have people who seek to rule uber alles.

#TeamTERF Pushes Back Against Trans Activism

The vast majority of the planet could be classified as TERFs, since most people do not believe that people can change sex at will.


TERFAbbreviation for:

  1. Trans Educated Rational Female (female form)
  2. Trans Educated Rational Father (male form)
  3. Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist (archaic)

During the recent controversy about Dave Chapelle’s Netflix special, The Closer, the term TERF was in the news although, as is common when it comes to trans issues, the mainstream media reporting was melodramatic and contained inaccuracies. Dave referred to himself as belonging to “Team TERF”, and made various jokes which were perceived to be transphobic.

The term TERF (“trans exclusionary radical feminist”) is widely used by trans rights activists as a slur. It appears that it was originally coined to describe people who do not believe that men who wish to be women, and who claim that they were “coercively assigned male at birth”(?!), are in fact women, and then proceed to “discriminate” against them as a result by declining them access to female-only spaces and entitlements.

We are reliably informed that these TERFs are a small minority. These activists seem to be blissfully ignorant of the fact that the vast majority of the eight billion people on the planet could be classified as TERFs, since most people (for some strange reason) do not believe that people can change sex at will.

The use of the term has since broadened to apply to anyone who dares to question any tenet of trans ideology. This of course includes parents such as myself who attempt to protect their kids from premature medicalization when they suddenly claim a trans identity, and instead try to obtain appropriate care and support for them. Even a parent who eventually agrees to allow their child to transition will be vilified as a TERF if they question the pathway laid out for their child by the ideology in any way at all.

TERF is such a silly term – and the way it is flung around reminds me of the immature name calling which (in a more dignified former time) was restricted to the schoolyard. Yet these days, supposed adults use it freely to vilify anyone who disagrees with them, in an attempt to disguise the fact that they have no valid or rational arguments to present to support their position.

So much of the discourse of trans activists is so childish that it is tempting to simply ignore it. For example, we have the use of euphemistic baby talk such as “top surgery” (for mastectomies and breast implants), and “bottom surgery” (for genital surgeries) in place of the correct medical terms. Not to mention a variety of irresponsible, histrionic pronouncements, such as the claims that being “misgendered” or prevented from competing in sports competitions set aside for the opposite sex, may cause gender questioning kids to quite literally die.

The need to manage our distressed teen offspring, who have an intense desire to permanently alter their bodies in the name of an ideology, does at times become a bit overwhelming. So I confess that we parents do allow ourselves the occasional giggle at some of the more bizarre pronouncements of our adversaries, which provides much needed comedic relief. The solemn assertion that there is such a thing as a female penis is undoubtedly my personal favourite.

However, there are very many activists who issue the most vile, offensive insults and threats against those they consider to be TERFs . Feminist Meghan Murphy suggests that the term TERF is not just a slur, it is hate speech. I tend to agree.

In the current political climate, it appears this behaviour can occur with impunity. The use of the term TERF, accompanied by insults or threats of violence, is enabled or supported by institutions such as universitieslocal councils and even libraries. Needless to say, none of this is in any way funny.

It is also true to say that, because of the frightening power that this movement seems to have somehow gained over society, accusations of being a TERF often achieve the desired effect of silencing critics.

Recently, however, something has changed. Activists are losing access to one of their favourite silencing tactics. People critical of gender ideology are reclaiming the term TERF. After the Chapelle Netflix special, #TeamTERF began trending on Twitter. You can now buy feminist t-shirts emblazoned with the phrase. Others have come up with much improved versions of the acronym such as the delightful “Tired of Explaining Reality to Fools”.

We also have TRE (Trans Rational Educated) Voices, a brave, no holds barred cry for sanity with regards to child and youth transition from trans people themselves.

Well, we parents would also like a piece of the action. People within our networks have come up with much needed improvements to the term TERF. We already have Trans Educated Rational Parents (TERPS).

Now it is time for us to embrace the term TERF, to repackage it and to use it with pride. Mums (and indeed all adult human females who fight gender ideology) are “Trans Educated Rational Females” and Dads are “Trans Educated Rational Fathers”.

We parents often joke that we have PhDs in gender ideology, and in what passes for “medicine” in the care of gender questioning kids. We have educated ourselves extensively in the service of helping our beloved kids. We have read the studies. We have talked to the experts. We are clear that there are only two sexes, and that it is not possible to change sex. We know that no one is “born in the wrong body”. We understand that there is a social contagion going on. We know there is no evidence base for the practice of transitioning children and young people being beneficial in the long term.

Once educated, we then proceed to act rationally. We attempt (often against the odds) to guide our kids, to nurture them into adults who will be happy with their natural sexed bodies, un-mutilated and un-medicated. We seek to obtain help for their many issues (anxiety, ADHD, autism, depression, eating disorders, internalized homophobia) before considering drastic permanent steps. We refuse to be coerced by activist tactics such as exaggerating the risk of suicide, or pretending that there is evidence that transition will be beneficial in the long term for our kids.

So next time I am called a TERF for questioning gender ideology or attempting to care for my child, I will inform the name-caller what the term really means and thank them for the compliment. I suggest others begin to do the same.

Brave: Chris Wallace Comes Out Of Closet As Fake News Journalist

ATLANTA, GA—After being in the closet for over 18 years at Fox News, news anchor Chris Wallace has come out officially as a fake news journalist. After being turned down by The Babylon Bee, Wallace will make the move over to CNN’s new streaming service.

“I attempted real news for a long time, but I was living a lie,” said Wallace in his official statement on Fox News. “It’s time for me to finally be honest with the world and live out my truth. It’s time for me to finally show the world who I really am: a fake news journalist.”

Journalist advocacy groups applauded Wallace’s brave move as a “huge step” for fake news journalists everywhere.

CNN will feature Chris Wallace on its new streaming platform, which promises to be even more fake than their cable news service. Other anchors will include Jussie Smollett, Chelsea Clinton, Joy Behar, and Big Bird from Sesame Street.

Fox News applauded Wallace for his bravery and thanked him for the inevitable ratings boost.

U.S. Navy to Determine Ships’ Preferred Pronouns

Naval Station Norfolk, VA — The United States Navy has contracted experts to determine the preferred genders of all its nautical vessels.

For millennia, mariners have assumed ships and boats were female and referred to them as “she/her.” As the world becomes more aware that people are actually whatever gender they happen to be thinking of at the moment, a nearly universal outcry erupted that we are assuming the genders of all sorts of objects.

Despite initial objections from some high-ranking Trump era holdovers, the Navy has decided that now is the time to come into 21st century thinking by figuring out what gender each ship actually would prefer to be. This is a new field, but experts from top US universities soon stepped up and were promptly hired.

“Aside from the fact that it is naturally just sexist and homophobic, it is also illogical.” says Dr. Indigo Yehuda, a gender studies expert from Brown University who is working on this effort. “We’ve been assuming since, like, forever that all ships are female, right? But think about it – all ships can’t be female, because then where would the little baby ships come from, like that rowboat over there? Duh.”

It is expected to take between 2-5 years and cost approximately $123M to fully understand the preferred genders of every vessel in the US Naval fleet. But the US Navy is committed and knows that someday, in the words of one Admiral who preferred to remain unidentified, “when you talk about one of our ships, you’ll feel confident you won’t offend it or anyone else around by referring to it by the wrong pronoun.”

Beto Surges To The Lead For Governor Of Texas In Poll Of Californians

CALIFORNIA—Beto O’Rourke has surged to the front of the Texas gubernatorial race according to a recent poll of Californians.

O’Rourke is polling at the front of the pack, being an incredibly popular candidate to become governor of Texas. Not, of course, among people who live in Texas, but he’s very well liked in California. While he’d be at the back of the pack in Texas, over 60% of Californians say they would vote for him as governor of Texas if they lived in Texas.

“This is great news for Beto,” said one CNN anchor. “I mean, it would be. If he were running for governor of California. He’s not. He’s running for governor of Texas. So. You know. It doesn’t really help him there. But it must make him feel really good.”

“So there’s that.”

At publishing time, Democrats had proposed allowing Californians to vote in Texas, a proposal that was wildly popular in California, but sadly, not in Texas, where the proposal will be voted on.

Biden. You suck.

For the first time since I became an extremely proud American citizen on February 26, 2003, I am ashamed of what my adopted country has become. Let me explain before you get upset at me!

First, I am proud to be an American patriot. I love my Constitutional Republic and the constitution which I think, after the Bible, is the most amazing document ever written by man. I even was proud during the King Obama dictatorship years although I never understood how Americans elected him. He is a lowdown, testosterone challenged traitor. He led this country down a dangerous slippery slope that the election of My President, Donald J Trump stopped in its filthy tracks.

Then for four years I was ecstatic as my country grew in pride and strength. The economy boomed – every single aspect of it. Unemployment of every ethnic group was at its lowest as individual wealth and savings were at a high. Everything was incredible. We were the most powerful nation in the world as President Trump did his thing – making America great. Surely the role of every president who lives his country.

Then in 2020 along came a fraudulent, stolen election and we end up with a decrepit, mentally deficient, criminal, pervert, corrupt Commie loving so called president who from day one has run this country as if it is a communist nation where the government has all the power and we the people are serfs.

In a short 11 months the Democrats have taken this nation and reduced it to almost a third world nation status. It has destroyed our economy. It is destroying the middle class. It is trying really hard to destroy our fossil fuel industry. It is destroying education. It is destroying our military. It is destroying our law enforcement. It has weakened us to the degree that we are actually at great risk of our security as a nation. It has destroyed our secure borders. It has destroyed our faith in the election system. It has destroyed our infrastructure like the supply chain. It has badly affected black employment and ruining all the gains minorities mad in the preceding 4 years. it has made us a laughing stock to our enemies who perceive us as weak and pathetic. We see this with Russia, China and Iran who are running rampant as they take advantage of our country as this administration attempts to bring us to our knees.

Let’s be honest. The list above is short and just a brief synopsis of the evil activities this administration has done in a very short time. The Build Back Better Bill they are trying to pass will be the final nail in our coffin if passed as is. This will be a 5 Trillion dollar Socialist program that will keep growing as many of the programs planned will never be stopped. Ever. It must never be passed but to do that Joe Manchin from Virginia is going to have to grow a huge sets of testes and vote against it. If he doesn’t his home state of Virginia will have a massive economic downfall as will the USA. It’s all on him.

How sad that our countries future is on the back on one man, a Democrat. He can make or break it with his vote. Republicans, all 50, will be voting against it so without Manchins vote it will pass.

I am not running around like a headless chicken or yelling the sky is falling. Trust me all of you. If this Bill passes it will be the destruction of everything this country ever stood for and the end of our self rule. It’s simple as that.

For my Virginian readers – GET UP AND TELL MANCHIN TO VOTE NO. TELL HIM IN NO UNCERTAIN TONE. VOTE NO!

So going back to my original paragraph I am ashamed that we Americans have been so fooled and been so careless with our freedoms and liberties. That we have allowed this country to have got here. That we have not put a stop to the extremist lunacy of the left. That we have acted like cowards and ensured that our founding fathers are rolling in their graves. That we have allowed such disdain for our armed forces and law enforcement. That we have allowed the sentiment that criminals are more worthy than victims. That our citizenship is so worthless.

2022 will give us a chance to recoup and prevent any more damage to our beloved country.

Ensure everyone you know – including you all – vote. Do the right thing for my beloved country. Your country. Destroy the New Socialist Democrat Party. Annihilate it.

If we do not then the only other alternative will be civil war.

Your choice America. Will you stand up now while we still can and make the changes needed. Move our country to the center or right.

I feel the change!! We can do this.

ABSURD: 007 to become Non-Binary? You have got to be kidding me!

“The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other – until one day when they are suddenly declared to be the country’s official ideology.” – Ayn Rand

“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.” ― Ian Fleming


Non-binary or genderqueer is an umbrella term for gender identities that are neither male nor female‍—‌identities that are outside the gender binary.


I have grown up watching Ian Fleming’s James Bond films. Ian Fleming in his novel Goldfinger wrote, “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.

It now appears that Hollywood has become the enemy of white alpha male heroes and the next 007 film may seal the deal.

Have you noticed that male heroes have disappeared from the silver screen? Have you noticed that males, especially white males, are now portrayed more as villains than heroes?

Have you noticed the feminization of Hollywood to the detriment of the alpha male? BTW, have you also noticed that white heroes have been replaced by black heroes?

Have you watched on screen and felt the pussyfication and Black Lives Matter idol worshiping of the Hollywood elite?

Are you sick and tired of it yet? Many of us real men and real women are!

Woke Hollywood

The Daily Caller’s David Hookstead in his column titled “James Bond Might Become Non-Binary In The Future, Producer Says” reported:

James Bond’s future sounds like it might head down a path fans won’t like.

According to the Daily Mail, producer Barbara Broccoli appeared on the “Girls On Film” podcast to talk about what’s ahead for the legendary spy, and her comments are bound to have fans talking.

“I do, because I don’t think that we should be making films where women are playing men,” Broccoli explained when talking about whether or not the character will always be male.

However, she left the door wide open for the character to change pronouns.

Hollywood is now definitely “woke” and addicted to non-binary steroids. First we have males competing in female sports and the woke are silent. Now we may have 007 turned into a non-binary character. And again the woke are silent.

Maybe the solution is to have a non-binary male, who thinks he’s female, play the male in the next 007 film? I would laugh at this but can you picture Bruce Jenner or Ellen DeGeneres or Elliot (formerly Ellen) Page or the cisgender male drag queen RuPaul as the next 007? Seriously!

Insanity is being driven by the cancel culture and its first target was the alpha male and it is now the white alpha male. If you’re any white male you are labeled a white supremacist by Hollywood.

QUESTION: Is it just a matter of time before the black alpha male becomes non-binary?

Bottom Line

I have watched 007 from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig’s Bond, James Bond. 007 is an alpha male and has always been an alpha male. The number 007 is synonymous with the consummate alpha male character, period. 007 is the good guy who always gets the bad guy!

I am tired of watching action films where the leads are all female. This is a way of denigrating manliness. To make James Bond, and now 007, non-binary is a direct attack on every heterosexual male.

The culture war zealots have now claimed yet another victim – James Bond. Now 007 is a cisgender number without substance.

As far as I am concerned if Hollywood continues to go non-binary I will continue to boycott Hollywood.

A non-binary James Bond is the proverbial straw that has broken the camel’s back. Bond died in the last film No Time To Die, and the number 007 has died with him. Sad but true.

In Casino Royale Ian Fleming wrote, “Surround yourself with human beings, my dear James. They are easier to fight for than principles.” 

Hollywood has no principles. I will fight for the human alpha male and real woman, not what non-binary Hollywood wants.

Just call me Bond, James Bond!

I, Psaki

A remnant of the Obama administration, Jen Psaki has mastered the art of shamelessly dissembling before a largely friendly press corps and has proven relentless in her efforts of omit or distort facts, spin events, highlight the inconsequential and diminish the consequential.

But this soulless android in the service of the Biden administration may have, indirectly through misdirection or incidentally by disinformation, broken all three laws of Robotics:

First Law

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Jen Psaki Defends Joe Biden Reopening Border Detention Center: ‘This Is Not Kids Being Kept in Cages’

Second Law

A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
WH’s Psaki Defends Inflation — ‘Good Thing’ Because It Means ‘More People Are Buying Goods’

Third Law

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Missions Accomplished – History Revisioned

It took only 1,857 days (or, for those who are counting – 160,444,800 seconds, or… 2,674,080 minutes, or… 44,568 hours) but our moment has come! President Hillary has finally bestowed upon us what was rightfully ours…. Her VICTORY speech of November 8, 2016!

Hillary Clinton Chokes Up as She Reads Parts of the Victory Speech

Our moment was stolen from us. But, as the great American philosopher/thespian Jeffrey Goldblum has so eloquently said…

Quote:

If there’s one thing history has taught us, it’s that liberalism will not be contained. Liberalism breaks free, it expands to new territories, and crashes through barriers painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh, well, there it is…. Life finds a way

And so here we are. The world of last Tuesday is now the world of next Tuesday.

But we cannot stop here, comrades. This shall not be a one and done. We must take this revisionism and correct all the wrongs of the world. We must reshape history in our own image.

I have begun a list of revisionism events for which the record must be corrected. Please join me in compiling a list of historic wrongs you expect to be corrected. Because the future deserves our past.

  • Joe Biden Delivers Speech as if he knows who Joe Biden is
  • Hunter Biden Sells Art Masterpiece
  • AOC delivers brilliant remarks
  • Kamala Harris voted Boss of the Year by White House staff
  • Bill Clinton waves finger saying he did have sexual relations with that woman
  • Jen Psaki circles back
  • Transpo-Pete working diligently
  • Chris Cuomo named head of CNN Worldwide
  • Kyle Rittenhouse sentenced to life in prison for double murder
  • King George III celebrated throughout the American colonies

Hotel USSR: A new book by Oleg Atbashian

I’m happy to report that I’ve just published my second book, Hotel USSR. It’s a story of а young man coming of age in a totalitarian state. He wants to be an artist but he isn’t authorized to buy paints. He wants to see the world but the authorities brand him as politically unreliable. He wants to get married but the system separates him from his bride. He listens to Hotel California and wishes he had their problems: he himself is stuck in a real-life trap that he “can never leave,” and he calls it Hotel USSR. To check out, he must break every rule in the book.

This young man is me and this is my real life story. People have often asked me what growing up in the USSR felt like. This book is my answer. It’s illustrated with my own drawings and paintings, which I did in my twenties before I quit drawing. The reason for quitting is in there as well.

In addition to it being humorous and entertaining, I hope this story can be an eye-opener for younger people who may naively believe in the false promise of socialism. Rather than debating Marxism directly, I demonstrate how it fails in practice and what absurdities ensue when the entire state lives in denial of its failures, forcing people not to trust their own eyes. The book describes socialism as an attempt to regulate human existence in cumbersome ways that defy human nature, leaving no doubt that to build “real socialism that works” is no more possible than to build a house based on an optical illusion.

I hope you enjoy my story and help me to spread the word. Amazon allows a short preview – please rate it and leave a comment:

Art from this book can also be found in Oleg’s Art Gallery. Prints on demand at RedBubble.com.

Book description on Amazon:

As a child, he was promised abundance and freedom in a communist paradise. In that bright future, he dreams of being an artist. But as he grows up, he discovers that his dream is based on a fraud and that his country is really a dictatorship governed by bullies, liars, and thieves. He and the girl he loves find themselves trapped in a labyrinth of a dysfunctional utopia they call “Hotel USSR,” where every aspect of life is regulated by improbable rules that override human nature. To live their dream, they decide to break the law. This takes him on a series of tragicomical adventures that feel like acts in the theater of the absurd: a worker in Siberian oil fields, an army conscript, an inmate at a forensic psychiatry facility, a visual propaganda artist, a Soviet dissident, and an immigrant to America. And everywhere he goes he draws pictures…
