The sexualization and ideological indoctrination of children has become a major point of political conflict in the US in the past year as progressives ramp up a flurry of “family friendly” and “all ages” drag show performances across the country. In the majority of documented cases the performances include sexual elements common to most drag shows, but in this case in the presence of young children. The shows have specifically targeted predominantly conservative states and venues in what appears to be an attempt to incite a reaction from residents.
An all ages drag show scheduled this past week at the Memphis Museum of Science and History was suddenly cancelled as groups of conservative protesters including the Proud Boys arrived to show opposition. Mainstream media affiliates and progressives were quick to admonish the decision to shut down the event as “censorship,” and accused protest groups of “intimidation” (Yes, it’s rather hypocritical). Many in the media fail to mention the “all ages” aspect of the shows, which is the main reason why protesters show up in the first place.
It is unclear who actually gave the order to close the event, and the Memphis PD denies any involvement in the decision.
The common argument made by leftists in support of drag shows for children is that they are not at all sexualized. This is a lie. As we have witnessed in numerous leaked videos they tend to be highly sexualized and children are even encouraged to give drag queens dollars as they dance or strip on stage. Only two weeks ago, another family drag show at Tennessee Tech University hosted by the “Backdoor Playhouse” caused a public outcry as video evidence revealed a stripping man in drag and what appears to be a cod piece taking money from small children.
The question is not IF leftists are grooming children with trans propaganda and sexualized imagery, but WHY are they doing it? They deny the practice exists, and when they get caught they defend the practice as normal. An argument could be made that it is the parent’s decision what their children should and should not see, but if we reverse the roles and consider parents taking their kids to a straight oriented strip joint, it’s obvious that law enforcement would immediately be involved and the parents would be punished. The very notion that we have to explain why it is wrong to expose children to sex propaganda sets a tone of extreme social instability and moral relativism for 2022.
While leftists might describe these events as a family friendly exercise in “tolerance,” many others would describe the shows as the glorification and normalization of mental illness. In any case, opposition to the trend is growing now that the American public is being made aware of it.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly dropped its universal masking recommendation for healthcare workers last week.
According to the federal health agency, which updated its guidance September 23, the changes were made “to reflect the high levels of vaccine-and infection-induced immunity and the availability of effective treatments and prevention tools.” The guidance emphasizes that it is applicable to United States healthcare settings before clarifying that areas without high transmission levels of the Chinese coronavirus “could choose not to require universal source control.”
Per the updated guidance:
Individuals might also choose to continue using source control based on personal preference, informed by their perceived level of risk for infection based on their recent activities (e.g., attending crowded indoor gatherings with poor ventilation) and their potential for developing severe disease. For example, if an individual or someone in their household is at increased risk for severe disease, they should consider wearing masks or respirators that provide more protection because of better filtration and fit to reduce exposure and infection risk, even if source control is not otherwise required by the facility. HCP [healthcare personnel] and healthcare facilities might also consider using or recommending source control when caring for patients who are moderately to severely immunocompromised.
The CDC openly removing the universal masking recommendation for United States healthcare workers is significant, because the federal health agency has remained a staunch supporter of masking throughout the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, as the Biden administration misled the American public after touting “just” 100 days of masking.

The push for masks extended far beyond President Biden’s original 100-day pitch, and the mask mandate for United States transportation was only lifted after a federal judge struck the rule down in April. After months of extensions, the judge deemed the rule “arbitrary and capricious.”
Despite the controversy over universal masking, proponents, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, originally — albeit quietly — admitted that cloth and surgical masks were not effective at stopping the spread of the virus. Yet, they continued to push it publicly, accusing critics of spreading misinformation, despite studies showing that cloth and surgical masks are not efficient at blocking exhaled aerosols — a more widely accepted fact now, over two years after the start of the pandemic.
A recent survey from The Economist/YouGov found a plurality, 45 percent, indicated that they “never” wear a mask outside their home, followed by 27 percent who said they do “some of the time.”
Just 14 percent said they “always” wear a mask.

Canada is finally ending the absurd COVID vaccine mandates. No, Trudeau did not come to his senses. The truth of the matter is that the majority of people dying from COVID are the triple and quadruple vaccinated. In fact, they account for 90% of COVID-related deaths in the past three months.
There is true mass psychosis surrounding the vaccination. It does not prevent transmission or infection. Despite that being a known fact, politicians are eager to promote the vaccine, along with the media that continues to push boosters on every platform available. People are bringing their babies and elderly loved ones to get the latest vaccine with lines out the door. What happens now when the mask falls and people realize the truth? There are people crying online that it is “too soon” to remove the vaccine requirement. It is cognitive dissonance. They cannot allow their brains to process that they were lied to for years. The vaccine only weakened people’s immune systems and made them more susceptible to COVID.
IT WAS NEVER SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.
I congratulate the Canadian Truck Convoy and all others who risked their liberty and lives to protest this false narrative. The silent majority has won, but at what cost? Countless lives were destroyed over this mandate. People lost their livelihoods and homes. Some who I personally know were forced to flee Canada as they were not willing to risk their health. Businesses were ruined. Families were separated as the demonized unvaccinated could not even enter Canada. Lives were completely uprooted due to this vaccine mandate imposed by the Trudeau Administration.
And now they want to pretend everything is ok and sweep it all under the rug. No. We should remember what Trudeau and the globalists did to the people. The unvaccinated were gas lighted and banished from society for years. The people were threatened in every way possible until they agreed to submit to the government’s order. We now see how much control the government has over the people. Public confidence will never be the same.
The only people dumber than politicians like Trudeau are the people who believe him and vote for him. Sadly, they deserve their fate. – The Liberator
In case you’re not mechanically inclined, that is a gas-powered portable electricity generator being used to “fill” an electric vehicle with electricity (i.e. recharge his battery). And I’m betting that car is in California where they are probably experiencing a brownout in this moron’s neighborhood. You cannot save liberals from themselves. Besides, they are not worth saving. – The Liberator
The left is so afraid of a red wave this November that they will do anything to allow illegals to vote. California’s Gavin Newsom, who admitted his party is “getting crushed,”signed into law an act that will permit illegal immigrants to obtain an official government-issued ID. “We’re a state of refuge – a majority-minority state, where 27 percent of us are immigrants,” Newsom said after signing the legislation. “That’s why I’m proud to announce the signing of today’s bills to further support our immigrant community, which makes our state stronger every single day.”
“I mean, if we are going to be realistic, they pay you to be homeless here.”
In addition to providing illegals with government IDs, Newsom is campaigning for votes in other states. His campaign has placed billboards in seven states, urging women to move to California where abortion is legal (a bit odd since women do not exist in woke America). Newsom placed billboard and newspaper ads across Texas to criticize the state’s gun laws, claiming California is so much safer. He has even run commercials in Florida to beg people to move to California.
Newsflash: people live in other states because they do not want government tyranny and sky-high taxes. Democrats love saying that “Democracy is under attack” while threatening to remove our freedoms. The exodus from California continues as civilians and businesses can no longer handle living under Newsom.
I’ll say it again…Liberals are Certifiably Nuts, and they prove it every single day. – The Liberator
“Democrats have defunded the police and embraced the transsexual sickos who groom and physically deform children. Democrats who have driven the economy into a ditch, waged war against affordable energy, embraced violent criminals, and want us to eat bugs, are in serious trouble this cycle. Sane Democrats are shifting to the Republican column, along with Hispanics and an increasing number of black Americans. The Democrat party has gone insane to the point of becoming dangerous, and even some Democrats are sick of it.” – John Nolte
A new report by the Heritage Foundation claims that the average American had lost over $4,200 in annual income since Biden was sworn in due to rate hikes and inflation. They clearly are not factoring in retirement accounts or other investments, as most have lost substantially more.
Consumer prices are up 12.7% since January 2021, equating to each American losing $3,000 in purchasing power. The foundation estimates that the higher cost of borrowing has cost Americans another $1,200 annually. Mortgages have doubled, consumer debt is rising, and every area of life costs substantially more.
EJ Antoni of the foundation points out that Biden failed to act as inflation began to rise and pushed Congress to continue spending. The Fed miscalculated the situation and called the situation “transitory” while allowing the printing press to roll. Both Biden and the Fed attempted to dismiss inflation to avoid responsibility. Antoni stated:
“This financial catastrophe for American families is the direct result of a president and Congress addicted to spending our money, combined with a Federal Reserve compliantly enabling this addiction by printing more dollars. Washington recklessly spent trillions of dollars it did not have and paid for it with newly printed money, causing rampant inflation that has destroyed people’s purchasing power and jeopardized Americans’ financial futures.”
All gains under the Trump era have been erased in less than two years. Biden began paying people to sit at home and not work when he took office. Thousands were forced to leave their jobs due to COVID mandates. When people went back to work, the current administration led the public to believe that they were doing well due to higher wages, when in reality, inflation consumed any gains.
Biden eliminated America’s energy independence and created an energy crisis domestically that did not previously exist. Biden put America in direct confrontation with Russia and continues to funnel billions through Ukraine when some American cities do not even have clean drinking water. The $4,200 estimate is extremely low, considering that major US indexes are significantly down. Simply put, we are all worse off under the Biden Administration.
The raging debate among us on the Right is whether the Biden cabal is doing this to intentionally destroy America, are pushing ideology that has been disproven long ago, or they are merely the most incompetent morons to ever inhabit the White House. I believe it is a combination of all three. They are definitely pushing Marxism, and ideology which has been disproven in a variety of ways. But they don’t much care if it fails as that gives them the opportunity to start over, or to use their term, “build back better”. But when you combine the above two with gross incompetence, you get what we now have: an economic dumpster fire of epic proportions. – The Liberator
Murders increased by 6% in 2021 across the nation but spiked 30% from 2019 to 2020. New Orleans, Louisiana, surpassed St. Louis as the murder capital of America with 52 homicides per 100,000 residents. Overall crime in New York City rose 37% this year alone – grand larceny is up 49%, auto theft rose 46.2%, robberies are up 39.2%, and assaults increased 18.6%. Crime in Chicago makes NYC look like Disneyland. Murders in Chicago are 5X higher than NYC and 2.5X higher than LA. Crime in Lightfoot’s Chicago rose 37% from 2021, and the police cannot do anything to help due to the law. Car-jackings occur every five hours in that city. Homicides in Philadelphia reached a record high of 562 in 2021 and are on track to surpass that level in 2022. The full data for 2022 is not available, but crime is up everywhere you look. – Armstrong Economics

Below is my column in The Hill on the recent “disinformation conference” held by leading democrats and media figures. It was a confab of the liberal politicians and journalists over how to deal with problems like Republicans, Fox News, roughly half of the voters and most television viewers. The solution for some seemed to be reeducation led by the media through even greater advocacy journalism and censorship.
This weekend MSNBC analyst John Heilemann and Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa) added their own suggestion for such reeducation. Dean agreed with Heilemann that Democrats “have to scare the crap out of [the Democratic base] and get them to come out. They can’t motivate them on the basis of hope or their pocketbooks or any of these accomplishments. They have to scare the crap out of them.”
Here is the column:
Tennessee Williams once lamented, “If I got rid of my demons, I’d lose my angels.” That fear came to mind this week when former President Barack Obama called upon “our better angels” at the ironically named “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy” conference at the University of Chicago.
The conference was a confab of media and political elite, gathered to discuss how to defeat their common demons: Republicans, Fox News, and apparently half of the electorate and most television viewers. In fact, the conference offered a chilling display of not just disinformation but delusion in dealing with current controversies.
It proved fascinating as the media and political elite openly worked through intractable problems like the backlash over burying the Hunter Biden scandal before the election. For that reason, it was particularly ironic that the conference was sponsored by The Atlantic magazine, which has been a source of some of the most criticized coverage.
One of the figures in special counsel John Durham’s ongoing investigation is Atlantic staff writer Franklin Foer, who has been identified as “Reporter-2″ in Durham’s investigation of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann. Foer allegedly sent an early draft of the article for review by operatives working with the Clinton campaign, according to Durham, and the campaign later used the article to spread a false story involving Russia’s Alfa Bank and the Trump campaign.
Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, declared this week that “only one party in the American system has currently given itself over so comprehensively to fantasists.” He further denounced “social media-Big Data” for not censoring such views. Apparently, the extensive censorship of conservatives by Big Tech is not sufficient because any access to such forums “makes it easier and easier to inject falsehoods into political discourse.”
The Chicago conference resembled a mainstream-media version of a car show, featuring new political-narrative models for eager buyers. One came from Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum, who joined CNN figures in denouncing conservative media. That’s when University of Chicago student Daniel Schmidt delivered a haymaker question:
“A poll, later after that, found that if voters knew about the content of the [Hunter Biden] laptop, 16 percent of Joe Biden voters would have acted differently. Do you think the media acted inappropriately when they instantly dismissed Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation, and what can we learn from that in ensuring that what we label as disinformation is truly disinformation, and not reality?”
Applebaum responded by saying that she really did not care if the laptop was legitimate because she did not find it “interesting”: “My problem with Hunter Biden’s laptop is I think it’s totally irrelevant. I mean, it’s not whether it’s disinformation … I didn’t think Hunter Biden’s business relationships have anything to do with who should be president of the United States.”
It appears that laptop is no longer Russian disinformation. It is now just uninteresting or irrelevant, even though the president’s son may soon be indicted on this evidence.
Applebaum was one of those pushing the Russian disinformation claims in calling for censorship by Big Tech of conservatives. Back then, the Hunter Biden scandal was “relevant” as Russian disinformation. For example, in a column titled “The Science of Making Americans Hurt Their Own Country,” Applebaum praised the killing of the Hunter Biden “saga” and encouraged even greater efforts to control information for voters. She criticized those who “argue … that these 2020 efforts don’t need to be taken so seriously, because they failed.”
CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter also was confronted by a student, Christopher Phillips, who listed false stories run by CNN, from the Russia collusion stories to the Jesse Smollett case. Phillips then asked: “All the mistakes of the mainstream media and CNN, in particular, seem to magically all go in one direction. Are we expected to believe that this is all just some sort of random coincidence, or is there something else behind it?” Stelter responded dismissively that it was all just “a popular right-wing narrative” before returning to the narrative of the true demons on the right. Stelter has previously embraced censorship as part of a “harm reduction model” for media.
The conference was more about the demons than the angels of the mainstream media. The sense of frustration was palpable.
While pushing for greater private censorship, the conference adopted an almost clinical tenor of conservatives and Fox News-watchers being brainwashed or cognitively challenged. Yet, despite years of such attacks, Fox remains the most popular cable news network; it not only often doubles the viewership of its rivals, but more Democrats watch Fox than CNN. (For the record, I work as a Fox legal analyst. I previously worked for NBC, CBS and the BBC.)
Obama denounced “anger-based journalism” while promoting an advocacy-journalism model in which the media shape the news for citizens who supposedly need help to properly frame ideas. He and many other speakers highlighted a much-touted study by political scientists David Broockman and Joshua Kalla. The study has been featured by the Washington Post and many of these same outlets for its conclusion that Fox News viewers change their views when exposed to “good” news sources like CNN.
Obamadeclared the study as hopeful since it showed “how easy it is to shift people’s views on issues by changing their media diet.”
But the study itself is a study in bias. The researchers at Berkeley and Yale only subjected Fox viewers to this type of re-educational viewing; they paid Fox viewers to watch CNN but did not do the opposite to see how CNN viewers changed their views after being exposed to Fox. Moreover, the study assumed as fact what would be viewed as a contested viewpoint. For example, they assert that “Fox News largely did not inform viewers of Trump’s failure to protect the U.S. from the COVID-19 outbreak, whereas CNN extensively did so. This is concerning for democratic accountability.”
In the end, the study found the change was often slight, with less than 10 percent shifts on most questions and short-lived results, as viewers returned to their original viewing preferences.
The “hopeful” message — that we just have to change what people watch in order to save democracy — is hardly a new idea. Just last year, some Democratic members of Congress sought to pressure cable companies to take Fox off the air.
There is another possibility: As Obama summons the “better angels” of the left, they might consider promoting free speech. After all, we once believed good ideas can prevail over bad ones in an open marketplace of ideas. Instead, this crusade to rid liberals of their demons would kill the most angelic part of who we are as a people.
Liberals are the most intolerant humans on the face of the Earth. They are convinced of their intellectual and moral superiority based solely on their educational credentials and opinions, and never based on the facts on the ground. They have no common sense whatsoever as it is clouded by opinions formed in an echo chamber of like-minded know-it-alls. OF COURSE they want to silence dissent! Otherwise, their carefully crafted arguments get destroyed by the truth.
To paraphrase Obama’s condescending comment, LIBERALS need to change THEIR media diet!
