Who Checks the ‘Fact-Checkers’?

J.K. Rowling Doxxed by Twitter Activists
If transgender activists really wanted to convince us that they’re not mentally ill, they could start by not acting like unhinged psychopaths all the time. Just sayin’. Of course, I’m not saying that all trannies are violent loonies, but, hoo boy, I’ve not seen so many swivel-

Information Triple Trouble: Dis, Mis and Mal
The MSM considers it has the insider low-down on information and, on the Government’s behalf, automatically brands sources it doesn’t agree with as either dis-, mis- or mal-information – the triplets of trouble. It is a sorry mess we currently find ourselves in: of dangerous leadership and

Religious Freedom Bill Chokes Free Speech
The difference between “freedom to” and “freedom from” may seem trivial and academic. To use its technical term, “Positive Freedom” (freedom to) may sound benign, compared to “Negative Freedom” (freedom from).
