Is Misgendering Someone an Act of Violence?

Published on January 14, 2024 By sirrahc

If you haven’t heard of Brad Polumbo before, he is one of those rare birds — a “gay conservative”. Not as conservative as, say, Guy Benson. (In at least one podcast, Brad implied that he is more “center-right / moderate”.) But, he is certainly anti the most woke stuff, which he talks about and reacts […]

Homeland Security’s Latest Orwellian Activity

Published on September 18, 2022 By sirrahc

Remember that business a few months ago with Biden’s new (now-disbanded) Disinformation Governance Board (within the Dept. of Homeland Security) and its controversial executive director, Nina Jankowicz? Well, this is sort of like that, only different. As reported by The Heritage Foundation’s Erin Dwinell, Homeland’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has been meddling where it […]

Published on July 18, 2021 By sirrahc

No need to set this up, really. Here is a quote you may have missed from a piece by Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform: “Congress should not increase funding for the IRS.

(If you don’t want to read the articles I link to in the original post, you can get the important […]

Amazon and the Pedophile

Would you boycott a book called Marijuana-Lover’s Guide to Growing Cannabis, perhaps published by High Times magazine? I probably wouldn’t. The moral issue is a bit ambiguous (to me, anyway) and the legal issue depends on where you are and what your purpose for growing cannabis is. How about How to Build a Better Bomb: […]

Shenanigans at the California Science Center

Published on January 6, 2010 By sirrahc

First the California Science Center agreed to show the pro-Intelligent Design film “Darwin’s Dilemma” last October (along with a pro-Darwin film). Then they changed their minds when pressured by associates at the Smithsonian Institution. Their excuse was that a rental agreement had been violated by the film’s sponsor, the American Freedom Alliance (AFA). The AFA […]
