In case the persecution of the January 6 protestors, pro-lifers, PTA moms, and COVID dissenters didn’t convince you: Our enemies really do want us in prison. Or dead.
Headlines from around the world confirm the fact that those in the grips of principalities and powers — who favor aborting babies, grooming kids for pedophiles, castrating teens, coddling terrorists, importing jihadis, and destroying the economy in the name of the Climate — don’t have many scruples. These aren’t Walter Mondale liberals or even drug-addled libertines. They’re zealots, witch-hunters, inquisitors … choose your favorite epithet. And we must defeat them or end up as their slaves.
Let’s review just a few of many stories that prove my point. We’ll start with Brazil, where a corrupt establishment stole a presidential election and is trying to imprison the former president it kicked out of office. (Sound familiar?). The European Conservative reports:
A Brazilian women’s rights activist has been granted full refugee status in an unnamed European country after facing criminal charges in Brazil for referring to a male-to-female transgender politician as a man.
Isabella Cêpa, a social media commentator and feminist known for her advocacy against domestic violence, was facing up to 25 years in prison under Brazil’s “social racism” law, a legal provision that treats alleged transphobic speech as a form of racial discrimination.
Because, you know, a gender is kind of a race, if you really think about it … right? Not in a rational or scientific way, mind you — but once you buy into the theory of intersectionality, which holds that any form of “oppression” is equal to any other and somehow amounts to a war crime committed by a Nazi who must be rooted out and crushed, you can wrap your mind around pretty much anything.

This charge stems from a 2019 ruling by Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court which interpreted homophobia and discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals as a form of racism.
In 2023, the court further ruled that homophobic slurs are punishable by prison, equating them with racist hate speech. Sentences can range from two to five years.
“This case is not about a hate crime, but about a difference in political views,” Cêpa said in an interview.
This case just goes to prove what I’ve been saying for years: People who try to legislate “hate speech” really do just hate free speech. And they’re intent on stomping it out.
California College President Wants to “Eliminate Whiteness”
It’s not surprising that the same kind of people who want to imprison their political opponents are willing to use genocidal rhetoric against ethnic groups they hate. It’s the logical next step down the spiral staircase into Hell. Victor Davis Hanson reports on J. Luke Wood, the president of Sacramento State University, a taxpayer-funded school in California. Wood
gave an interview to a conservative black radio host, podcaster host, in which he said he wanted to “eliminate whiteness.” He was pressed on that question very effectively. And he said, “Well, you wanna eliminate whiteness, but then that comes from white people. So, if you want to eliminate the manifestation of white people, do you want to eliminate white people?” He said, “No.”
But he found himself in a dilemma, a rhetorical dilemma, an analytical dilemma, because if you apply that logic and you say, “I want to eliminate blackness,” what does that mean? You don’t wanna eliminate blacks. If you say, “I want to eliminate Jewishness,” does that mean you wanna eliminate Jews?
So, what did he mean? He couldn’t define whiteness when he was pressed. Apparently, what he was trying to refer to—and I don’t think he had the knowledge or the historical background or the analytical skills to explain what he meant—but he’s talking about the dominant culture in the United States. And he associates that with “whiteness” because the Founders, of course, were 95% white.
Remember The 1619 Project, which The New York Times, the Pulitzer Prize Committee, and most of America’s teachers unions wanted to implement in schools across the country? It’s basically a rip-off of the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion, but instead of dismissing democracy and capitalism as a Jewish conspiracy, the 1619ers blame those “evils” on a white slaveowner conspiracy. They say America was founded by a cabal of whip-wielding racists who only declared independence to stop King George III from freeing the slaves. (Which George III never tried to do, but never mind.)
The feverish, race-fixated paranoid mentality that pervaded 1930s Germany now dominates college campuses, and your tax money is funding it. When the young people trained at universities led by ideologues like J. Luke Wood join the modern brownshirts — Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and similar groups — should we really be surprised?
Our Diversity Is Our Strength
The influx of Somalian “refugees” who got flown over half a dozen safe Muslim countries to get resettled in wintry Maine and Minnesota didn’t begin with Barack Obama. It began during the George W. Bush administration, which targeted those states precisely because they had far too much “whiteness.” They needed diversity, and they got it good and hard. Now let’s see what strength such diversity has brought those places — apart from pro-sharia congressmen like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Revolver News reports:
In many of the countries we’re drawing migrants from, women are treated like second-class citizens, like objects to be used, abused, and discarded at some man’s will. These are not just isolated attitudes; they’re deep-seated cultural norms. And yet, we continue to welcome this disgusting mindset into our country under the left-wing banner of “tolerance and diversity.”
This isn’t just reckless behavior; it’s dangerous and deadly, to boot.
The latest case out of Minnesota proves that yet again. A 42-year-old Somali man was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl. That’s horrifying enough on its own. But what’s even more chilling is how his local Islamic center responded… not with outrage or condemnation, but with sympathy for the abuser.

This is the kind of immigration which the far Left and the pro-business Swamp Right have unleashed upon our country. And if you complain about it here, you’ll get canceled as a “racist.” Try complaining in Britain and you’ll actually end up in prison.
Court Rules in Favor of Woman Rejected for Adoption Because She’s a Christian
Occasionally, reluctantly, I’m obliged to report some good news. And this is an unadulterated win for religious liberty in America. Newsmax tells us:
A Christian woman in Oregon blocked from adopting foster children because she wouldn’t comply with a state policy requiring support of a child’s gender identity earned a victory in federal court Thursday.
A three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the Oregon Department of Human Services’ policy that prospective parents must “respect, accept and support” the sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression of children in its care violated Jessica Bates’ First Amendment protections of speech and religion.
Bates, a widowed mother of five biological children living in Vale in eastern Oregon, applied in 2022 to become certified to adopt two siblings under age 9 from foster care. But the state Department of Human Services denied her application, according to court records, because Bates would not agree to using a child’s preferred pronouns, allowing a child to dress and express themselves in accordance with their gender identity, or taking the child to events such as Pride parades.
Essentially, Oregon told its Christian citizens they are unfit parents — even if it hasn’t yet gotten around to depriving them of custody, which these kinds of policies could set a legal precedent for doing. Thanks be to God for this lucid interval inside our judiciary branch of government.
Trump to Fix Corrupt COVID Census
Okay, okay, another piece of good news. (Sheesh.) The Trump administration is going to exercise its constitutional right to conduct a new census early in order to correct the inaccurate 2020 count, which was skewed by COVID lockdowns and packed with illegal aliens — whose presence in blue states gave them congressional seats they don’t deserve.
I believe that this is the most important political fight of the next 2 years. For those who don’t know, Democrats “miscounted” the last census which resulted in their states getting more electoral votes and Congressional seats.
They expected us to wait 10 yrs for it to be fixed… pic.twitter.com/KxCvYFoD6G
