Voldemort Defends Harry Potter Author JK Rowling

 

Ralph Fiennes, the actor who portrayed evil wizard Voldemort in the Harry Potter franchise, has come out swinging, defending author JK Rowling over the abuse she’s endured for speaking out about gender identity and trans issues.

“JK Rowling has written these great books about empowerment, about young children finding themselves as human beings. It’s about how you become a better, stronger, more morally centred human being. The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it’s appalling,” Fiennes told the New York Times.

“I mean, I can understand a viewpoint that might be angry at what she says about women. But it’s not some obscene, uber-right-wing fascist. It’s just a woman saying, ‘I’m a woman and I feel I’m a woman and I want to be able to say that I’m a woman.’ And I understand where she’s coming from. Even though I’m not a woman.”

Rowling has been the recipient of death threats for not being woke enough for the LGBTQ cult.

Fiennes also panned “cancel culture” in the interview, saying, “Righteous anger is righteous, but often it becomes kind of dumb because it can’t work its way through the grey areas. It has no nuance.”

Wisc. School Board Passes Sexually Explicit Curriculum, Despite Protests, Violating 1st Amendment in Process

 

The Wauwatosa School District in Wisconsin held a board meeting last night that drew protesters due to the inclusion of sexually explicit material in their curriculum. Parents showed up on both sides to tell the board what they thought of it. Outside the event was a protest that was attended by Moms For Liberty and the president of Gays Against Groomers, Jaimee Michell. One of the protesters had a sign with images from the curriculum that a local news channel refused to film, saying they could not show the images on television due to their graphic nature.

Not only are there graphic images but lessons that teach things to seven-year-olds like the vagina has “elasticity that allows a penis to fit inside.” Why a seven-year-old needs to know that is beyond imagining. The curriculum also includes gender ideology that pushes transgenderism on children. Counterprotesters showed up as well, holding “pride” flags, but when questioned by Michell, herself a lesbian woman, they admitted they were straight. It’s hard to understand why straight people are waving gay flags in support of giving explicit material to kids. Michell told them what she thought of it very plainly.

“You’re making the gay community look really bad,” Michell told them, “by supporting the sexualization, indoctrination, and mutilation of children’s bodies.” The women just stood there, mute, waving their rainbow flags.

 

When Michell tried to speak to the board during public comment time, the board president, Dr. Eric Jessup-Anger, tried to intimidate her by demanding she dox herself in a public meeting that was being broadcast online. Michell is a Wisconsin resident. Board members who don’t like being confronted often try to make unlawful rules to stifle speech. Jessup-Anger went a step further and tried to discredit Michell by pointing out that she does not live in the district. That information is irrelevant to public comment time. What Jessup-Anger did has been litigated in other states many times and found to be unlawful and intimidation of the citizenry by government agents.

The exchange can be seen below.

 

But Jessup-Anger didn’t stop there. After watching him do this to several people, I decided I should warn him that he was opening the board to liability. I had intended to just cover the meeting on my live stream but no one in the meeting seemed to know what he was doing was problematic, so I raised my hand to speak on the Zoom meeting. Jessup-Anger chastised members of the public for using the names of the school board members, another thing that puffed-up elected officials think they can demand — calling them “personal attacks.” Bad boards never object to people who use their names in a complimentary way, however, only when citizens are critical of them. But then Jessup-Anger did something really stupid after I began telling him where the board went wrong. He declared that he had the right to “cut off comments that are not in alignment with the dignity of the body,” and he silenced my microphone before my time was up.

This type of action has been declared illegal by the 6th circuit and as such has set a precedent that he would be unlikely to overcome in a lawsuit. The Free Speech Center at Middle Tennessee State University explains:

The court ruled in Ison v. Madison Local School District Board of Education that an Ohio school board’s policy prohibiting “personally directed,” “abusive” and “antagonistic” comments violated free-speech rights under the First Amendment.

The government can’t prohibit speech purely because it disparages or offends, the court said. Doing so would be discriminating against speech on the basis of the viewpoint of the speech.

Discriminating against my speech on the basis of my viewpoint was exactly what Jessup-Anger did by cutting off my comments before my time was up. He declared my remarks about the law “inappropriate” in his subjective opinion. The person who spoke before me, however, used swear words but was not cut off because he was complimentary to the board, calling critics “batsh*t crazy.” My comments contained no profanity, just some mild scolding and warning the board about the potential liability of violating open meetings laws and the Constitution. But Jessup-Anger, with the help of Board Clerk Dr. Jenny Hoag, cut my microphone off prematurely.

This is not what democracy looks like, in case anyone was wondering.

 

PJ Media reached out to Jessup-Anger to ask why the board did what it did. As of publishing, we have not heard back but we will update you if he responds.

After public comment, the board voted to adopt the sexually explicit content in the curriculum despite the public outcry and scolded the critics for not coming forward a year ago when the curriculum was introduced. There is no evidence the community knew what was included in the curriculum until recently.

A montage of the evening can be seen below.


The Rebirth of Mao Zedong

 

Mao Zedong (“Chairman Mao” to the Chinese people) served as the dictator of the People’s Republic of China from 1949, when the communists took over China, until his death in 1976.  Historians consider him the greatest mass murderer in human history, with somewhere between 60-70 million (after birth) innocent deaths to his credit.  This far outpaces Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler.  It would be hard to find a greater fiend in human history than Mao Zedong.

But since Mao’s death, no single individual in the Chinese Communist Party has been able to accrue as much power in his hands as Mao did.  Many have tried, but none has succeeded. 

Until now.

Xi Jinping has become the most dangerous man on earth, because he, without serious challenge, now unquestionably controls the Communist Party in China, a country with a huge economy, powerful military, and the largest population on earth.  At the current 10th Party Congress of the Communist Party, Xi was given an unprecedented third five-year term as President/General Secretary of the Communist Party.  This is actually unconstitutional in China, though the Chinese constitution is about as weighty to the CCP as the American constitution is to Democrats.  The Chinese Constitution states that a person can only serve two five-year terms.  This constitutional coup by Xi would be almost like, well, a President of the United States ordering the FBI to invade the home of a former President to find information that might prevent that former President from serving again.  Not exactly the same, but close.  Xi will now serve a third term, and no doubt, he will be dictator for as long as he chooses, probably for the rest of his life.  He is 69 years old, so he may be around for awhile.

A very bizarre event occurred on Saturday at the CCP meeting, one that solidified Xi’s power and sent a stern message to anyone in the Party who might dare to oppose him.  Former President Hu Jintao was sitting next to Xi when two men came, grabbed Hu by the arms, and forcibly removed him from the event.  Hu is seen apparently pleading with Xi Jinping, who basically ignored him.  Hu is gone, and nobody knows where.

The symbolism here cannot be denied.  International observers speculate that Xi orchestrated the event in order to send a warning to any possible opponents, to anyone who might have even a thought about challenging him.  Nobody will.  Xi is now free to follow any course he chooses, and there will be no serious resistance.

The Chinese people have not been given any clarification as to what happened in the Hu event, nor will they be—at least no true explanation.   The Chinese Xinihua News Agency posted the following hilarious statement on Twitter (which is blocked in China):  “When he (Hu) was not feeling well during the session, his staff, for his health, accompanied him to a room next to the meeting venue for a rest.  Now he is much better.”  Yes, accompanied him by forcibly dragging him out of the meeting.  Hu might indeed be resting peaceably now—with his ancestors.    

Xi hasn’t killed as many yet as Mao Zedong did; he hasn’t needed to.  We don’t know how many Uyghurs he has disposed of, and the number of “disappeared” dissidents who have “disappeared” forever will probably never be known.  The 6+ million deaths from the Wuhan virus can be directly attributed to him, as a new study (more on this in a subsequent article soon) indicates with near-virtual certainty that the virus was created in a lab. I have no doubt that the CCP released the virus into the world intentionally to not only see its effects, but also as a cover for China’s aggressions.  A few thousand Chinese deaths, and a few million others around the globe, are totally inconsequential to the Party that has killed more people than any other in history.  Xi Jinping is every bit as much of a moral monster as Mao Zedong was.  And now he has total power in China.  He’ll stop at nothing to accomplish whatever goals he has.  Taiwan is almost certainly on his radar, and soon, as in, before Joe Biden leaves office.

Xi Jinping, not Vladimir Putin, is America’s greatest enemy.  Americans, because of our western, Euro-centric history, have been slow to catch on that world power is shifting to Asia, and our knowledge of that continent is woefully inadequate.  We need to wake up soon to the greatest threat we face—a new Mao Zedong, who now has control of perhaps the largest military in the world and a huge economy.  Mao didn’t have that.  Xi does.

And we have Joe Biden as President.  

I said earlier that Xi Jinping is the most dangerous man in the world.  Maybe number 2.   After Joe Biden.   Stupidity in power is absolutely horrifying.

This is not good, folks.

Soros-Backed Group May Have Used Illegal Money From Biden Admin

 

A George Soros-funded group is being investigated for possibly using federal grants given to it by the Biden administration.

A former Trump administration official and  two congressional Republicans are questioning how Alianza Americas, an immigration advocacy group, got $8.5 million, which came from tax money from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the Health Resources and Services Administration. 

However, it is speculated that the money was used illegally for “lobbying.”

Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) wrote a letter to the agency’s inspector general expressing “serious concerns about blatant ignorance or gross negligence of awarding of grants.”

The group is known for following in the Left’s footsteps, calling to defund the U.S. Customs Border and Protection and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

On September 12, the group said that it met with representatives from Sen. Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) office to “share about the urgency of defunding” ICE and CBP.

In 2021, Alianza was given a $7.5 million CDC grant “to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate impacts among Latinx and Latin American immigrants.”

The woke group was also given $1 million to increase COVID-19 vaccine status” in certain communities.

“ I have continued to monitor actions taken by the Department and am deeply concerned that taxpayer dollars, in the guise of federal grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), are being used to fund lobbying activities and contacts in the United States and foreign jurisdictions and to promote illegal immigration into the United States,” the letter states. 

“ As members of Congress we take seriously our roles of ensuring taxpayer dollars are used wisely and within the confines of the law, and we are sure you share that goal,” Roy and Van Duyne wrote in their letter. “As such, we are requesting a review of all grants received by Alianza Americas as well as the publicly disclosed actions taken by Alianza Americas that would be in violation of the law and federal regulations,” the letter continues.

Clyburn Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Inflation

 

“What do you say to people who say, ‘Boy, yeah, but Washington can talk about all these big programs everything else, but I’m worried about the cost of food. I’m seeing the cost of eggs shoot up chicken, gasoline, you know, coming now with the winter, the heating.’ I mean, these are all concerns that hit very directly to people who may say 'you know what’s going on in DC doesn’t think of us’?” host Jose Diaz-Balart said to the House Majority Whip. 

“Well, let me make it very clear. All of us are concerned about these rising costs, and all of us knew this would be the case when we put in place this recovery program,” he admitted. “Any time you put more money into the economy, prices tend to rise.”

President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in March of 2021, and the $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act, a massive health care and environmental package, in August of 2022. 

In September, consumer prices were up 8.2 percent compared to a year ago, according to U.S. Labor Department data published earlier this month.
