Use These Five Easy Tricks to Identify the Marxist in the Room
"People are waking up to the Marxist onslaught facing our nation. If you still don’t see the pile of bolshie we are up against, I suggest you read this brilliant four-part series by Larry Alex Taunton on Klaus Schwab, his not-at-all secret commie plans for global power, and, more importantly, just how close he is to succeeding.
Communism comes disguised as virtue. Rarely does a despot announce, “I’m here to control every aspect of every life I chose not to murder,” though Schwab is pretty upfront about his planned fascism. Actually, Hitler was too.
Look for communism masquerading as morality in the forms of:
- Black Lives Matter
- Critical race theory
- “Trans rights”
- Climate change
- ESG–Environmental, Social and Governance
All of these pretend to help the helpless, but in America, no one is defenseless.
The supposed “oppressors” here are straight white men. If you don’t think anti-white victimhood is real, watch this young, salad-dodging Indian girl blame white people for her obesity.

Poll shows Democrats still overwhelmingly support masking toddlers - TheBlaze:
President Joe Biden vowed in January 2021 to "listen to the science," especially to the kind that would ultimately make sense of COVID-19.
Scientific studies have since revealed the adverse impact that masks have on toddlers, particularly on their communication skills; the relative unlikelihood of children becoming severely ill from the virus; and the potential inefficacy of masks as a means to directly stop transmission. Neither the World Health Organization nor the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control recommend that kids mask up.

Harvesting Low-Effort Votes Is Working Great For Democrats, So They’re Going For More BY: VICTORIA MARSHALL DECEMBER 28, 2022 4 MIN READ Election 2020 IMAGE CREDIT PHIL ROEDER / FLICKR / CC BY 2.0 While some congressional Republicans might think the post-2020 election integrity fight is over, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Author Victoria Marshall profile VICTORIA MARSHALL VISIT ON TWITTER @VEMRSHLL MORE ARTICLES SHARE Share Article on Facebook Share Article on Twitter Copy Article Link Share Article via Email The dust of the 2022 midterm contests has barely settled and Democrats — invigorated by the Red Wave that evaporated under extended lax voting policies — are out to make sweeping changes to our nation’s election laws once again. Think back to 2020, when Democratic governors and unsuspecting Republican lawmakers made unprecedented changes to state election policies in the name of Covid that included mandating universal mail-in balloting and a month of early voting. Some states have kept these changes permanently. But Democrats are not satisfied, and why should they be? With their gubernatorial power retained (they kept all but one of the governor’s offices) and newfound control of state legislatures in both Michigan and Minnesota, Democrats are keen to ram through a whole gamut of unprecedented and unconstitutional changes. It’s working, so they’re going to keep doing it. As The New York Times reported, Democrats’ list of policy proposals for 2023 includes expanding automatic voter registration systems, preregistering teenagers to vote, granting the franchise to felons, and criminalizing what the left thinks is election “misinformation.” Of course, all these policy prescriptions have little to do with “voting rights,” but Democrats package them as such, and slander their opponents as — you guessed it — racists. Make no mistake about what these proposals are meant to accomplish. Take automatic voter registration. The New York Times notes that such a system — already adopted by 20 states — “adds anyone whose information is on file with a government agency — such as a department of motor vehicles or a social services bureau — to [a state’s] voter rolls unless they opt out.” During the 2020 election, Michigan’s Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson sent out automatic voter registration forms to all eligible Michigan residents. As a result of the mailer, 114,000 people were automatically added to Michigan’s voter rolls. Many were duplicate and otherwise inaccurate registrations. By padding state voter rolls with new unlikely voters, Democrats can target unsuspecting blocs of voters, harvest their ballots, and put their candidates over the top. Various leftist 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are solely dedicated to this. As I’ve previously reported regarding Democratic attempts to court high school-age kids, multiple left-wing organizations are targeting young people to effectively propagandize them into future Democratic Party voters. As two-thirds of Gen Z voters backed Democrats this past midterm election cycle, Democrats are hoping to capitalize on this emerging voting bloc while also setting their sights on even younger kids. While leftist organizations have tried to couch their outreach efforts as bipartisan, Democrat politicians admit they’re going after younger voters to benefit the left. “[Targeting young people] is something the left’s been pushing for quite a while — along with enfranchising noncitizens and automatic restoration of felon voting rights,” executive director of the Honest Elections Project Jason Snead told me earlier this month. “They’re always looking for new people to bring into the election system and calculating the targeted groups who will be more likely to vote Democratic.” Along with making the state a key player in their efforts to pad voter rolls in their favor, Democrats are also intent on criminalizing any information that could hurt their electoral prospects. Known Democratic Party hack and Michigan Secretary of State Joycelyn Benson told the New York Times that she wants new rules and penalties for individuals peddling “misinformation” in election mailers or language on proposed ballot amendments. “The greatest threats to our democracy right now continue to be the intentional spread of misinformation and the threats and harassment of election officials that emerge from those efforts,” Benson said. With Democrats’ history of using Big Tech to label the New York Post’s verified story on Hunter Biden as misinformation and its subsequent censorship during the 2020 election, as well as myriad true scientific claims that countered the bureaucracy’s Covid narrative, it’s clear Benson and fellow Democrats’ desire to censor “misinformation” is code for cracking down on any information Democrats don’t like. What’s To Be Done Republicans must be wary of Democratic efforts to fortify elections in 2023 and beyond. While some congressional Republicans might think the post-2020 election integrity fight is over, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Democrats have a massive ground game advantage over Republicans already, and if they pass these policy proposals — under the insufferable label of “voting rights” — in key swing states, that advantage will only grow to an insurmountable one. Republicans must realize election integrity is not a seasonal push nor a battle isolated to 2020. Rather, they must be on offense for years to come.

PayPal's bans are a form of censorship, put some businesses at risk, digital privacy advocate says | Fox News:
PayPal's purported content-based bans raise additional concerns about Big Tech's control over free speech, a digital privacy advocate told Fox News.
"For a decade I've been watching content moderation at the platform level go terribly awry," Corynne McSherry, the legal director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group, told Fox News. "Now, more and more we're watching the same problems … in other parts of the internet stack."
"It's not just PayPal," McSherry continued. "Several of the major payment processors have been playing an increasing role in policing online speech."

Is it coordinated?

Now one day later Time Magazine is promoting an article that argues that exercise has White supremacist roots. Two can be a coincidence, of course, but this is one hell of a coincidence...
- In it, the author argued that the medical establishment and our society as a whole stigmatizes obesity because Black women are the most obese demographic in America.
- People can be “healthy at any size,” and focusing on obesity as a health problem is racist.
