American Greatness
During Biden’s latest visit to Kyiv and Warsaw, the Oval Office occupant defended his administration’s escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war and pledged unlimited U.S. taxpayer support in the name of “defending democracy.”
But is Ukraine a democracy?
In 2004, the Bush Administration and the West amplified claims that the Ukrainian presidential election had been rigged after the Moscow backed candidate Viktor Yanukovych defeated the U.S. and West backed candidate Viktor Yushchenko.
Western pressure combined with mass protests in Ukraine—known as the Orange Revolution—resulted in the overturning of the election results and a redo election that fulfilled the West’s desired outcome. Yushchenko was elected president, instead. Afterward, then-President George W. Bush called the Orange Revolution a “powerful example of democracy for people around the world.”

Educating schoolkids about communism is…racist toward Asians?
Recently, Republicans in the Virginia state Legislature proposed a bill to instruct students on the dangers and victims of communism. All of the Democrats in the state Legislature opposed the bill. The College Fix reports:
Democrats in both legislative chambers voted “nay” following the Virginia Education Association’s claim that the bill might lead to negative reactions against Asian students.
According to the VEA’s Emily Yen, this is because four of the planet’s five remaining communist countries happen to be in Asia: China, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam. (The fifth is Cuba.)
Having met many refugees from communism in Asia, this take is backwards. Asians have been the biggest victims of communism. Most of the victims of communism were and are Asian. Their Asian lives mattered. To ignore that reality is to ignore history and potentially doom the world to repeat those events.

THE COURT SAYS THEY’RE PIRATES, THE IRS SAYS THEY’RE A NONPROFIT
In Front Page Magazine’s extensive series on the leftist organizations that the IRS has allowed to keep their tax deductible status, we have covered Chinese Communist front groups, art vandals, domestic terrorists, pedophiles, illegal alien smugglers and the enablers of murderers.
Every time we dive deeper into these investigations, someone asks if there’s anywhere that the IRS will draw the line. A few weeks ago, someone suggested pirates. Surely there couldn’t be nonprofit pirates with tax deductible donations that the IRS has decided is a legitimate charity.
Not only is there a pirate nonprofit, but it’s been denounced by the court, described as eco-terrorists by the FBI, and has shown up on Interpol’s Red Notice while being the subject of international incidents without ever persuading the IRS to drop its 501(c)(3) status.

Someone needs to check the water supply in Loudoun CountySomething is making public officials lie through their scummy teeth
It seems that Loudoun County, Virginia, isn’t the greatest place to work or go to school.
Remember the sexual assault by a ‘transgender’ student against a girl in the girls’ bathroom, which came to light when the victim’s father was demanding answers from the school board, and then dragged to the floor and arrested. It was all a big right-wing myth, the credentialed media told us:
- The New York Times: The Right’s Big Lie About a Sexual Assault in Virginia, October 28, 2021
- Reason: Conservatives Wrongly Portrayed the Loudoun County Sexual Assault as a Transgender Bathroom Issue, November 1, 2021
- New York Post: Mom of Virginia teen convicted of sex assault says he doesn’t identify as female despite wearing skirt, November 2, 2021
- Amanda Marcotte at Salon: Conservatives conjure up a 21st-century Satanic panic. Will it work? October 22, 2021
The media’s defense of transgenderism fell apart quickly when the rapist was found guilty.

Ben & Jerry’s Boycotted Israel While Using Child Labor
Selling ice cream in Israel was inconsistent with its values, child labor wasn’t.
No company has been as vocal about fighting for migrants and exploiting them.
“We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: human beings can’t be illegal,” the ice cream maker declared. Its advocacy for illegal migrants even led to a clash with the British government which told it to “stick to ice cream”. In the United States, the leftist brand debuted a new flavor ‘Pecan Resist’, and bragged that it would “resist the Trump administration’s regressive and discriminatory policies” to build a future for “refugees and immigrants”.
The ugly truth behind the virtue signaling was that Ben & Jerry’s depended on migrant labor to make its overpriced ice cream. A year before Trump took office, the progressive company faced protests by migrant workers who spoke of having to live in barns without heat during the Vermont winter while milking cows at midnight and being injured by exploding glass milk bottles.
