May 27, 2025 – Such happy little authoritative Malthusians.The living, breathing adherents and practitioners of the ideology are particularly interesting in localities and states where, for some reason known only to God, they've managed to accrue power and wield it with a fierce, unmerciful intensity over their increasingly helpless peasant flock.Conditions are especially egregious...

May 27, 2025 – In some cases, it has to do with the continuing Democratic and progressive fever dreams.David Hogg, he of the sunken chest and tiny stick arms, now being recast as a New Age masculine beacon.
