    In order to effectively understand Democrats and their political collaborators, one must be able to discern between what they say, and what they actually mean. To this end, I’ve acquired a translation device that can process political propaganda and convert it into the truth that they'd rather you not know.. My first translation project comes from a NYT article published by Kevin Roose on Feb 2, 2021. Let’s take a look at what’s really going inside the minds of these totalitarian wannabees. How the Biden Administration Can Help Solve Our Reality Crisis [obvious lack of credibility] Last month, millions of...

The 72-year-old Gosnell gave up his appeal rights Tuesday, and prosecutors agreed to two life sentences without parole.

    Never in modern memory have Americans been so gloomy about their future. A record 90% of registered voters say the country is seriously off on the wrong track, according to the most recent ABC News poll. Whispers of a recession at the beginning of 2008 have turned into a full-blown financial panic, despite unprecedented intervention from Washington and other capitals around the world. ... But take heart. The editors of Kiplinger's Personal Finance and Kiplinger's forecasting put their heads together and came up with ten things going right these days.... 1.Oil Loses Its Swagger: {snip} 2.

    When The Reverend knew the mike was live, he had the following to say about his friend, Senator Obama. "My support for Senator Obama's campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal," he said in his statement. "I cherish this redemptive and historical moment." The average American would have to be off testing missile systems on Kwajalein Island to not know what Jesse Jackson had to say when he thought the mike was dead. While this isn’t Jesse’s first bad experience with non-off-the record commentary, it was gratuitous and over-the top like a bad Stallone movie. Jesse Jackson has reasons that are...

    NEW DELHI: Fear of raking up a communal controversy has made the health ministry keep mum about an international study which suggests that circumcised men are less prone to HIV infection. While the study - which says HIV rates among those not circumcised are two to eight times higher than in those groups which practice circumcision - may have a significant bearing on the country's AIDS-prevention programme, government seems to be keeping a distance from it lest it is accused of 'appeasement.' Conducted by France's National AIDS Research Agency in South Africa between 2002 and 2005, findings of the study...

    NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian man who left his wife and two young children two years ago shocked his family when he returned home as an eunuch, wearing garish red lipstick, the Asian Age newspaper said Thursday. After a fight with his wife, the jobless Nabiullah left his family in Hathipur town in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh in the summer of 2003 to look for work, the paper reported. During his absence, he got himself castrated and became a eunuch, earning money by singing and dancing, a common form of employment among India's ostracized community of eunuchs....

In doing a search, I've come up empty. I'd appreciate seeing the list, so I can save it for future reference. Thanks.

    Woman accused of circumcising sleeping boyfriend with scissors A woman is accused of circumcising her sleeping ex-boyfriend with a pair of scissors in revenge for being dumped.

It's believed Mr Lai woke screaming after the attack and was rushed to hospital where he needed 11 stitches. The paper reports it took him two weeks to recover. Chan is on trial before Hong Kong's District Court where she denies one charge of wounding...
