BACKLASH BUILDS: American Olympic Athlete Under Fire for Shunning US Flag During National Anthem
A potential Olympian faced a growing backlash on social media Monday after the athlete turned-her-back on the American flag during the performance of the National Anthem at a track and field competition.
“Why does the Left hate America? Sure, we have our faults, but no nation in the history of the world has liberated more people from captivity, has lifted more out of poverty, has bled more for freedom, or has blessed more w/ abundance. God bless America,” posted Sen. Ted Cruz on Twitter.
Remove her. She doesn’t deserve to represent the USA.
How ‘Experts’ Abused Science to Saddle America with the Microaggression Mania
The need to combat “microaggressions” has recently saturated America. In higher education, business, and government, programs and policies have been implemented to deal with a supposed problem that almost no one recognized until a few years ago.
Microaggressions are statements by non-minority individuals that convey racist ideas to minority hearers, thereby supporting the white power structure and harming the listeners, who become depressed at their powerlessness.
At least, that is the theory propounded by a small number of academic researchers.
‘Woke Reformation’ Reveals Cancel Culture’s Insidious Roots
Documentarians avoid tackling Cancel Culture for understandable reasons.
Say the wrong thing on screen, or have the wrong social media message in your digital past, and suddenly you’re the next Cancel Culture victim.
Even the 2019 docudrama “No Safe Spaces,” a brilliant expose of how woke thinking conquered the college landscape, is partially out of date thanks to Cancel Culture’s exponential rise.
Director Travis D. Brown isn’t afraid to cover Cancel Culture. He’s the driving force behind “The Woke Reformation,” a new YouTube (and Locals.com) based series examining this cultural blowtorch.

Trudeau government unable to define the term ‘woman’
The Trudeau government does not know what a woman is. This is not rhetorical, it is what they have directly said. A ministry known as Women and Gender Equality states that it “does not use a specific definition of ‘woman.'”
You Won’t Even Believe What’s Triggering the Thought Police Now
Back in 2013, campus activists started demanding the policing of speech. They pushed to ban “microaggressions” (words or phrases that may offend certain minorities often unintentionally) and demanded “trigger warnings” before professors assigned certain controversial reading materials. Recently, the Prevention, Advocacy & Resource Center (PARC) at Brandeis University released a new list of verboten words and phrases — and “trigger warning” itself has been canceled, along with words like “victim,” “addict,” “survivor,” “tribe,” “picnic,” and even the phrase “people of color.”
Biden Admin Engaged in Full-Fledged Assault on Women: Here’s What We’ve Learned
On Thursday, the Biden Justice Department filed suit against West Virginia over a newly passed law restricting women’s sporting competitions to biological women.
“Athletic teams or sports designated for females, women, or girls shall not be open to students of the male sex where selection for such teams is based upon competitive skill or the activity involved is a contact sport,” says the state statute, and by any rational measure, it makes perfect sense and is appropriate.
The only ‘weird’ thing here is that the law was necessary in the first place.
