"Biological sex [is] binary. It's been binary for like a hundred million years, longer than that. Temperament is not binary, temperament or personality… people who talk about the diversity in gender are actually talking about diversity in personality and temperament…" – Jordan B. Peterson, What Is a Woman? (The Daily Wire, 2022) Why is it that the most powerful people on earth have been so fond of promoting “equality”?

There is simply nothing else in the history of the material affairs of the world that can compare to that. -...

In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news.
