OK, So US House Rep Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) is BARELY Smarter Than Her Voters.

May 30, 2026January 17, 2023 Skip

Otherwise, She’s Right There with Rocks. Is that Enough to Convict Me of “Hate Speech Towards Minorities”? And I’m betting that bringing up US Rep Hank Johnson’s utterance that putting all the US Military on one end of Guam would make it tip over would be hate speech as well? And don’t get me started … Read more

Guy Whose Job Title Includes a ‘Harmful Word’ Admits, Stanford “May Have Missed The Mark” With Their ‘Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative’

January 3, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Last week we shared news about the Stanford IT department speech police issuing a language guide. For the good of the community until they walked it back the next day (something about the backlash after the Wall Street Journal took it wide) /snicker.

Religious Intolerance at The University of New Hampshire (UNH)

December 30, 2022 Steve MacDonald

UNH typically gets good marks from groups like FIRE for free speech that, in my opinion, they do not deserve. UNH may put policies in writing that sell a commitment to open and free expression, but the entire campus culture stands on the intolerance baked into identity politics.

Having Fun with the “Neurodivergents” That Created Stanford’s Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative

December 28, 2022 Steve MacDonald

When UNH created its Bias-freeLanguage Guide, we wrote stories that went national. Then UNH President Mark Huddleston made it disappear and talked about the University’s commitment to free and open speech.

JP Sears: What Corruption? News Update!

December 25, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The Marxists want to make sure you see them as the higher power, so happy holidays. That’s from JP Sears, who has an important ‘holiday’ corruption update for you.

A New Use for the Last Four Words of the Bill of Rights

December 24, 2022 Op-Ed

What Happened This Year (2022)? When I scan the horizon, I am not looking for particulars. I am always trying to look behind the scenes. And since I don’t have a viewer to take me there, I rely on guessing what’s going on.

Don Surber’s Point #2: Normal Parents Reaction to Teachers’ Sexuality

December 19, 2022 Skip

Part 1 was the reveal by Don Surber, while letting the info drop that I’d been looking for some time (where did the policy on “Transgender and Non-conforming” originate?). But as I said at the end of that post, Surber also made another observation I think is important, one that I think all Normal people … Read more

Truth

December 17, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The decline and fall of truth is, sadly, our legacy in the 21st Century. Science is defined by political rhetoric, and opposing the popular thing is labeled as misinformation or disinformation.

Twofer: Twitter Twiddling and Russians Meddling

December 5, 2022 Steve MacDonald

I had two thoughts to share in one post. Each is brief, self-explanatory, and connected, but I felt it needed to be out there or, at least out there, here! First, what do Democrats mean when they say ‘Russian’ Meddling?

Democrats in the Government “Admit” to Censoring You Online

December 3, 2022 Steve MacDonald

No one should be surprised by this headline. We’ve all likely experienced this. The progs in Big Tech “take issue” with your content. And getting tagged, flagged, gagged, tossed “in jail,” or de-platformed by a “private company” is one thing, but what if it was at the direction of the Feds?

Failed Democrat Candidate Demands I Censor A Grokster Who Wrote About Her – Fat Chance!

November 22, 2022November 22, 2022 Skip

It was Stephen Scaer’s post about Elle Gallo that got her “copyright demand panties” in a wad. Once again, we see that yet another “transgender activist” can’t STAND that someone has an opinion that varies from theirs. Go ahead and read Stephen’s post and then come back. I’ll wait… So now, having read Stephen’s post, … Read more

Free Speech Absolutism in 2022

November 20, 2022 Ian Underwood

So, Donald Trump’s Twitter account has been reactivated.

Because everyone should be free to speak in the ‘digital town square’?

No.

November 15, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Hal Shurtleff and Camp Constitution won their day at the Supreme Court in May. The High Court voted 9-0 against the city of Boston, which is now on the hook for Shurtleff’s legal costs and fees totaling over two million dollars.

Unions Help Southwest Airlines Police Workers to Purge Conservatives and Christians

November 3, 2022 Steve MacDonald

If you are one of those #woke, vaccinated libs working at Southwest Airlines, you better be careful. While you might not object to your union targeting its own dues-paying employees on political grounds, allowing that sort of internecine surveillance will inevitably come back to bite you in your fat blue ass.

Will Anyone on the Executive Council Also Please Ask Judicial Nominees about Protected Free Speech?

March 5, 2026October 30, 2022 Dana Albrecht

I’ve recently received a flyer in the mail (attached) that says, “Reproductive Rights are on the Ballot,” but I can’t identify where, on my sample ballot (also attached), there’s any mention of “Reproductive Rights.” Is anyone able to assist me? More importantly, however, the flyer also promises me that “As your Executive Councilor, I [Ms. Kelly] … Read more

Speaking about Elon Musk’s impending takeover of Twitter, David Kaye, a professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law, had this to say:

Debra Altschiller is Not Very Good At Filing Campaign Finance Reports

September 18, 2022 Steve MacDonald

You might know Democrat Rep Debra Altschiller for alleged attempts …to censor the press, hit an old lady, suppress free speech on public sidewalks, create speech carveouts for legislators to suppress the free speech of others, and just being an intolerable Democrat stooge, but now there’s this.

Big Tech Get’s Spanked in Texas

September 18, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Big Tech (Google, Facebook, Twitter) has been having its way with the law. On the one hand, they can’t be held accountable for anything published on their platforms, while on the other, they can unpublish whatever they want in the name of accountability. They claim the First Amendment protects this behavior.

We Have All Lost Our Way

September 14, 2022September 14, 2022 Op-Ed

It will soon be Christmastime and I am always transported to my childhood, a time of gorgeous sunsets and those thoughts of limitless success now fading as the ever-deepening recession eats up food, sundries, and retirement money alike. As the snow fell outside, in a room illuminated by a yellow electric candle reflected on frosty … Read more
