People don’t have pronouns — languages do. Despite this, laws have been made requiring people to use others’ “gender-neutral” pronouns, and transgressors in certain cases have gone to jail.
A recent example concerns an Irish educator who’s being persecuted for refusing to deny reality.

“Unprecedented and unethical.” So said late pollster Pat Caddell, commenting on a cooked October 2016 NBC/WSJ poll that showed Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 14 points less than a month before she would lose to him in that year’s presidential contest. Errant political polls are nothing new, and one general pattern is that they tend to underestimate Republican support — doing so in 2020 by four to five points.
And this year is no exception, says Randy Ellison, a public opinion and market research consultant and president of Targoz Market Research. Writing at The Hill recently, he asks, “Are we facing another big polling miss?” His answer: “Probably.”

It was last year already that a researcher predicted that for every child “saved” by the COVID “vaccines,” 117 would be killed by them. Such warnings not only fell on deaf establishment ears, but also often meant censorship for those echoing them. But now nine researchers from establishment institutions, such as Harvard University, are essentially sounding the same alarm.
In fact, they assert that COVID “vaccines” are for college students up to 98 times as dangerous as the disease itself.
Thus is forcing the shots upon these young people “ethically unjustifiable,” these experts say.

Is it the ultimate battle of the sexes? In the 2018 midterms, men supported the Republicans by the percentage margin 51-47.
Women broke for the Democrats 59-40 — overwhelming support that gave the party control of Congress.
Hardly a one-off, this phenomenon manifests itself every election and even has a name: the “gender gap” (“‘sex’ gap” would be the proper terminology). Moreover, far from showing signs of diminishing, a new survey of college students finds that the voting sex gap (VSG) may be reaching unprecedented proportions.

That Donald Trump, he’s something else. He couldn’t get too many Democrats to vote for him.
But he can, it appears, compel them to kill.
That’s according to a liberal reporter, do note, who apparently couldn’t think of any other way to explain why a Democrat politician (allegedly) stabbed a journalist to death in cold blood.
It never occurred to her that it could be because, as National Review suggested recently, Democrats may “have a murder problem.”

Along with that old gray mare, science, well, ain’t what she used to be. Perhaps the latest example is that Scientific American, our country’s oldest continuously published science magazine (founded 1845), recently made an interesting claim.
“Before the late 18th century,” the periodical tweeted a while back, “Western science recognized only one sex — the male.”
Perhaps Scientific American (SA) may want to explain how the book Western civilization held in highest esteem at that time tells us, in a divine message dating to antiquity, “Male and female He created them.”
Oh, SA is the magazine, do note, that states in its “About” section that it “is committed to sharing trustworthy knowledge.”

“They’re private companies; they can do whatever they want.” This sentiment has often been expressed by libertarians addressing complaints about Big Tech censorship. But here’s the question: Is GoogTwitFace really private now — in spirit? Or have the tech companies become de facto arms of the state?
I’ve warned in the past that the “Democrat establishment has been doing an end run around the First Amendment, using Big Tech as a proxy to stifle dissenting views.” Now this is being echoed by Newsweek opinion editor Josh Hammer, who tells us that by way of colluding with GoogTwitFace to censor regime opponents, the Biden administration has collapsed “the ‘public’-‘private’ distinction.”
Do note that this is a hallmark of actual fascism: Keeping business in private hands, but ensuring that government has a controlling hand in it.

On Sunday, Chile missed an opportunity.
To become Venezuela.
So say critics after a new constitution — described as “leftist” and “progressive” by even mainstream media — was resoundingly rejected by voters on September 4. While 2019 protests led to a 2020 referendum that saw 80 percent of Chilean voters support a new constitution’s drafting, the actual document created was not very popular, with 62 percent of citizens rejecting it and only 38 percent voting yea.
The constitution would possibly have been the world’s most radical. As The Washington Post reports:
“The proposal would have enshrined certain civil rights that have never before been included in a constitution, emphasizing many of the priorities of the leftist social movements led by younger Chileans: gender equality, environmental protections, Indigenous and LGBTQ rights, and legal access to abortion.”

A person may think that after media organs had to pay huge settlements to Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann for defamation, reporters might be more careful about smearing non-famous people as racists. Or you may suppose that after the Jussie Smollett hoax and the foot-noose and fancy free Bubba Wallace incident, the press might realize that hate-crime claims are just a bit more reliable than Elvis sightings.
But you’d be wrong.
Nothing has changed, and the latest example involves a recent Brigham Young University (BYU) volleyball game. It comes on the heels, too, of the media smearing 12-year-olds at the Little League World series.
