The Midterm Election Rigging is Underway - Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish articles"Acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman, the leftist election rigging activist appointed by Gov. Tom Wolf, warned that it will take days to determine who won...
Chapman, a veteran of The Advancement Project, funded by Soros and the Ford Foundation, which worked against voter ID rules to stop voter fraud, and Let America Vote, a leftist group to eliminate election security regulations, urged voters to “feel confident in our election system and in the final results.”
- Nothing creates confidence in an election system like a radical partisan activist being put in charge of it and then warning that the FBI will target any critics.
- Being told that “nothing nefarious is happening” is incredibly reassuring whether it’s hearing it from a strange guy in an alley, a corporate CEO or an election official.
People who aren’t doing anything nefarious don’t usually feel the need to assure you of that...

NPR vs. Masculinity - American Thinker
NPR vs. Masculinity - American Thinker - By Alexander Riley
"...Well, have no fear, NPR is here to give you the lowdown on how to properly think of this topic in 2023 in a podcast from their series LifeKit, which magnanimously offers the benighted populace invaluable “tools to help you get it together.”
Here are just a few of the scintillating bits of wisdom dispensed by the (self-proclaimed) cultural experts at LifeKit:

Hawley: Corporate Media Echoing TikTok's Lines, Let's Put a Ban to a Vote Now:
“[T]he CCP has access right now to any data they want that belongs to us. And that’s why I say, again, this is a back door for the Beijing government into our private lives, into our personal security, into the heads of our children, and we’ve got to close that door. The only thing to do, Laura, is to ban it. You mentioned the Biden administration, TikTok’s not stupid, they went out and hired a PR firm that was founded by Biden administration people.
