"Identity politics is best understood as a moral caste system.
Buying into variants such as critical race theory means accepting that your actions matter less than your race, gender or sexuality.
The promised liberation of identity politics imposes the collectivist understanding that nothing you do truly matters outside the constraints of your caste.
Who you were born is who you are. It’s difficult to think of a dogma that is more at odds with the philosophical worldview of the Founding Fathers or the Judeo-Christian theology of America.
Identity politics violates the political and religious foundations of this country.
These ideological assaults are bolstered by the conviction that personal redemption through economic strivings or repentance are conspiracies to fool people into believing that change comes through individualism rather than collectivism...

One of those retracted medical papers included “Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without a macrolide for treatment of COVID-19,” published in the Lancet and withdrawn after two weeks. The paper claimed that hydroxychloroquine increased the risk of death from COVID.
"I hate to play the gender card here, but maybe we paid more attention to the nefarious deeds of the Clinton Foundation because Hillary is a cold-hearted bitch.
Joe Biden is the affable grandpa who has been exposed for doing virtually the same thing as the Clinton clan, albeit he’s more than a brain cell shy of the intelligence that Bill and Hillary exhibit. Whether you like them or not, Bill and Hillary are cunning.
Toronto Blue Jays player Anthony Bass apologized after sharing content on social media that advocated for Christians to boycott Target, Bud Light, and other entities pushing pro-LGBT ideology.
It’s being perpetrated by whites through “antiquated systems of oppression.” Whiteness, the creation of white people of European descent, they say, is a lopsided “system of privileges and advantages” that favors whites at the expense of people of color “through government policies, media portrayal, decision-making power with our corporations, schools, judicial systems, etc.”...
