School Administrators Support Teacher with Fetish
By Laurie Higgins   |   09.21.22
By now many Americans have heard of the male shop teacher in Ontario, Canada who sports mammoth mammaries with erect nipples in skintight tops to class. The mentally ill and morally degenerate teacher goes by his new name, Kayla Lemieux, and he now sashays around school in a drag queen-like costume with wig, womanface, and women’s clothes. It is a grotesque and insulting caricature of women and surely a fetish.
How to Make Immorality Unjudge-able: Redefine Identity
By Laurie Higgins   |   09.15.22
Sexual libertines long sought to transform cultural disapproval of homoeroticism into approval, and one way they pursued this goal was to co-opt the fight of blacks for racial equality. Hence, they pursued the inclusion of homosexuality (and now “gender identity”) in anti-discrimination law. To that end, sexual libertines relentlessly compared those two groups (i.e., blacks and homosexuals) who had been historically mistreated, suggesting without proving that since blacks have been stigmatized and mistreated and homosexuals have been stigmatized and mistreated, the two conditions are ontologically the same and must be thought of and treated in all contexts as identical.
Illinoisans Beware: Leftist SAFE-T for Criminals Act Takes Effect Jan 2023
By Laurie Higgins   |   09.14.22
Leftists, practiced at the art of deception, do not care about anyone who lives in America. They care about one thing: maintaining power at all costs. And they think catering to criminals will achieve that goal. The most controversial provision of this 763-word behemoth that was passed in the middle of the night, takes effect on Jan. 1, 2023 and is just now receiving its overdue public outcry.
Evanston Follows “Trans” Cultism & Equity Logic to Their Indecent End
By Laurie Higgins   |   09.09.22
The Human Services Committee of Evanston City Council recently voted unanimously to send Alderman Devon Reid’s proposed ordinance to allow women to go topless in “all public places” to the “Equity and Empowerment Committee.” Reid wants his proposed ordinance reviewed over concerns that “it excluded the transgender community.” How?!?! Well, apparently, some objected to the ordinance’s “gender binary” language. Evanston sex-deniers cannot tolerate any public acknowledgment that the human species is a sex-binary species.
Does the Bible Mandate Nice Language When Condemning Evil?
By Laurie Higgins   |   09.06.22
While their sanctimonious and empty proclamations of fealty to inclusivity, love, tolerance, unity, autonomy, freedom, and diversity echo systemically throughout American institutions, leftists reveal their inky underbellies rotted with hypocrisy and depravity when they screech hater and hurl death wishes at Christians who dare to disagree boldly with critical race theory or evil ideas related to sexuality.
Dark Lord Biden’s “Soul of the Nation” Speech
By Laurie Higgins   |   09.03.22
Biden began his speech by extolling the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution as the “rock upon which this nation is built. They are how we became the greatest nation on Earth. They are why, for more than two centuries, America has been a beacon to the world.” But then his dark side flickered to life...
Who Are the Semi-Fascists?
By Laurie Higgins   |   09.02.22
Days ago at a private fundraiser, our semi-pervy, semi-senile semi-president said that “not just Trump” but “the entire philosophy that underpins”—well, that’s where it gets a bit fuzzy, since our semi-articulate president broke off his semi-thought for a semi-moment as is his practice. When Biden-the-Unifier regained consciousness, he described “the entire philosophy that underpins”—presumably support for Trump—as “semi-fascism”...
Lincoln Park Zoo and Paramount School of the Arts Drag Children Down
By Laurie Higgins   |   08.31.22
Just eight years ago, drag queens were a smallish plague found only in weird clubs catering to weird adults with weird “entertainment” tastes. Then lesbian/unfit mother Michelle Tea's darkened mind spawned a dark idea that she mistook for a brilliant one: drag queen story hours for preschoolers at public libraries. The dark idea has swept the nation in a movement that only a father of lies could love. And now it’s landed in Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo, giving new meaning to the zoo’s motto: “Lincoln Park Zoo. For Wildlife. For All.”
Public School Teachers Have Become Deceitful, Depraved Dogmatists
By Laurie Higgins   |   08.25.22
Perhaps you missed the story about a Naperville, Illinois elementary school where third-grade teacher, Nicholas Cosme, a 25-year-old man who “paints his nails like a woman does—and is teaching eight-year-old boys” in his class at Elmwood Elementary School to do likewise... And to top it off, he read to his young students the picture book My Shadow is Pink, in which “a young boy who likes to wear dresses inspires his father to also wear a dress.”
Facebook Meme-Slayers Target IRS Memes
By Laurie Higgins   |   08.18.22
On Tuesday, August 16, I discovered that the Facebook Overlords had “fact-checked,” not one, not two, but three of the satirical memes I had posted over the past four days on my personal page. All of the memes satirized Biden’s proposed 87,000-member Schutzstaffel: the IRSS. This is a sure sign that Dems are quaking in their jackboots about how much the public hates their Inflation Reduction Act that spends buckets of hard-earned ducats on more bureaucrats, whose job will be to squeeze more money from Americans.
Wheaton Illinois School District’s Atrocious Leadership
By Laurie Higgins   |   08.11.22
With regard to public schools and sexuality, this is the worst of times. It is an age of incomprehensible and destructive foolishness. It is a season of darkness into which America has been plunged by sexual anarchists like Maia Kobabe whose creepy adult comic book graphic memoir continues to divide communities.
Regarding Brittney Griner & Monkeypox
By Laurie Higgins   |   08.10.22
Brittney Griner is the gun-toting, hashish-vaping WNBA player with a temper who seduced, assaulted, and abandoned her pregnant former “wife.” She’s now in a Russian prison for violating their drug laws. Despite Griner’s support for the Second Amendment, her abusive treatment of women, and her arrogant disrespect for another culture demonstrated by breaking their laws, the left will celebrate her. Why? Because Griner is a lesbian and hates America’s national anthem.
Regarding the Kansas State Abortion Referendum
By Laurie Higgins   |   08.09.22
Across the country, Americans of all political stripes were surprised—some pleasantly, some unpleasantly—by the recent failure of conservative Kansas to restrict abortion. Perhaps conservatives would feel less dispirited if more news outlets reported on the confusing language of the referendum written by Republicans and the alleged “dirty tricks” perpetrated by unknown people or organizations. It’s likely that many voters had no idea what “yes” or “no” meant when they voted.
The “Trans” Cult Marches On Even As Its Harms Are Exposed
By Laurie Higgins   |   08.05.22
A 25-year-old man who pretends to be a woman was kicked off a community college campus in Texas and charged with a class C misdemeanor for allegedly choking a 17-year-old female student. Like the teen victim, the strange adult man who goes by the name Averie Chanel Medlock was a member of the women’s cheerleading team. Medlock complained that the teen girl said he is a man—which he is—and that he has a penis—which he presumably does.
The Newest Member of Biden’s Stable of Degenerates
By Laurie Higgins   |   08.03.22
There is no degrading depth to which the Biden administration will not sink in its effort to appease sexual deviants and promote sexual deviance while concomitantly offending deplorables of every color. No, I’m not talking about Biden’s appointment of Dr. “Rachel” Levine... Nor am I talking about Sam Brinton...
