The War on Pronouns is Really a War on Language
The use of plural pronouns (“they/them”) to refer to a single person has insidiously crept into our language. This practice is especially common in mass media publications and other establishment writings. It is more than a mere passing fad. It is time for us to understand what this trend really means for all of us.
One recent example I noticed was linked by msn.com and included the headline, “Non-Binary Ex-Biden Staffer Sam Brinton’s Family Calls Them A Liar, Claims Their Abuse Story Never Happened.” The headline is incomprehensible by traditional rules of grammar. The reader would not know who is meant by “Them” and “Their.” Even if we are familiar with Sam Brinton and his story, we would not know what people his family calls “a liar.” The plural words tell us that there are multiple third parties that Brinton’s family accuses. We are misled and distracted by those plural pronouns. An innocent reader would not have concluded that Brinton, himself, is the real target unless the reader undertook the process of clicking on the link and reading the article. The reader would then have to remember the new mandate that requires us to misread plural pronouns as applicable to single people – as the individual subject’s whim dictates. Singular is now plural. Plural is now singular. Words have no meaning.

Elites’ ‘Compassion’ at the Border Leads to Enslavement and Death
The Biden Administration has taken the relatively stable border it received from its predecessor and turned it into a killing field.
The Great Communicator was probably channeling the frustration of American citizens in dealing with the federal government, but his statement could also apply to those trying to cross our southern border illegally. For all the lofty rhetoric from our political class and their allied remora fish-like immigration activists about helping migrants, their policies result in appalling levels of enslavement, sexual assault, and death.
By its geographic characteristics alone, our southern border has always been a hostile environment for humans to pass. By surrendering operational control of the border under the guise of extending opportunity to the less fortunate, the Biden Administration has taken the relatively stable border it received from its predecessor and turned it into a killing field

Germany Closes the Last Nuclear Power Plants, Energy Spikes 45 percent
Insanity is shutting down your NPPs and expecting a different result (adapted from A. Einstein)
Germany, already in the midst of an energy shortfall due to the loss of natural gas supplies from Russia, has also just closed its last three operational nuclear power plants this past week, leaving the nation high and dry when it comes to easy accessible electricity. Germany has some of the highest residential electricity prices in all of Europe and they are about to explode even more in the near term.

BIG TECH’S DISINFORMATION BILLIONAIRE
From Russia smears to fake news to a lawsuit accusing former President Trump of rape, the money behind some of the dirtiest Dem tactics come from an obscure Big Tech billionaire.
When E. Jean Carroll first accused Trump of rape, the media quickly backed away. It didn’t help that she told media outlets that “most people think of rape as being sexy” and “it’s the responsibility of the woman, too. It’s equal. Men can’t control themselves.” But after a fitful attempt at using the story to sell books, Carroll vanished and then returned with a lawsuit.

ANIMAL’S DAILY BIDEN CORRUPTION NEWS
Now: Once again, Issues & Insights brings receipts on the Biden crime family. Excerpt:
American voters are a thick-skinned lot, and know pretty much that many politicians are scoundrels. But Biden is a different breed.
His family has, for years, received mysterious piles of money — we’re talking millions of dollars here — from questionable overseas sources, including Chinese Communist-linked executives, Russians with ties to Vladimir Putin and huge sums from Ukraine and its giant Burisma energy company.
The latest revelation is just stunning.
