They Are Not Fact Checkers, They Are Propagandists

             FACT-CHECKERS  have been a very significant topic this year, especially as the intensifying electoral season saw social media roll out “independent” fact checkers to police content on their websites regarding the election, COVID-19, and other major topics of the season. Of course, these measures became greatly lambasted by all because of their dubious and flagrant partisanship , especially as such fact checks extended to President Trump. The topics of free speech, private industry and constitutional law, and impartiality became significant due to these actions. As is usual, leftist outlets and voices belittled opposition to such measures, calling opponents misinformed and conspiracists, and claiming that no one in their right mind would have a quarrel with the oh-so-noble act of policing misleading content in lieu of such a pivotal election. Well, they would be right, making sure misinformation is curtailed leading up to an election is important, but if only they had act

The Anti-Nationalism of Warhawkism

             NATIONAL  identity, national security, and national spirit. These are values that are very integral to the conservative. They recognize the legitimacy, the superiority, and the preeminence of the nation-state and its unadulterated sovereignty.

There has been a suspicious rise in a specific faction, one which has been responsible for millions of deaths and trillions of wasted dollars, one which do  not  represent – beyond label only – any national values:  the neoconservatives .             The beginning of the modern neoconservative trend has its basis in the Reagan-Bush era

The Lie About Gender

THE  composition of this article comes in light of the annual “Transgender Day of Remembrance” that occurred on November 20. This subject matter, quite prominent in contemporary political discourse, is not one I have discussed beforehand. So, quite naturally, in my first discussion ever of it I will endeavor to totally deconstruct the notion of “gender theory” is constructed upon. This originally fringe and universally rejected concept rose, along with the politicizing trend of modern science ( which persists intensely to this day ), in the mid-to-late-2000s, brought to the forefront by the socially progressive goals of the Obama administration, then popularized by Bruce Jenner’s…odd announcement in 2015. It has since become institutionalized and formalized by mainstream and “credible” scientific bodies, based on nothing near science and nothing less than social justice dogma.             The beginnings of this contemporary trend of gender ideology, outside of the sowers of the early
