“That’s not the resume of a ‘uniter in chief.’” — Jarrett Stepman, columnist for The Daily Signal and author of The War on History: The Conspiracy to Rewrite America’s Past What do you consider to be the biggest failures of the Biden administration (or, as some prefer, “Biden regime”), so far?

A Conspiracy by Any Other Name

Posted by on February 25, 2024 at 7:32 pm

Some conspiracies are true. We hear a lot about “conspiracy theories” and the “nuts” that espouse them. In many cases, the theories are indeed unbalanced and not supported by evidence and/or rational thinking. But, conspiracies happen all the time, especially in the halls of power. The etymology of the word “conspire” means to “breathe together”. […]

Transgender activism is everywhere these days. If we aren’t careful, we can get inured to this aspect of the Leftist agenda. We can forget what it is they promote — what they do and why they do it.
