Pushing Back on the Narratives
Legacy media falsehoods continue to permeate and spread. Here are a few important posts that either push back, or tell inconvenient truths. Weekend must-reads.
My recent series pushing back on the Climate Cult is but a tip of the iceberg on false or misleading narratives we are smothered with everyday in our increasingly corrupted media. It is a propaganda overload that might amaze even George Orwell, or Alduous Huxley, even as they warned us decades ago.
The propaganda knows no bounds: our southern border is “secure.” “Gender affirming care” - castration - is good for young children. Biological men competing in women’s sports is a civil right. Gender is a social construct.
Certain presidential candidates who espouse freedom, liberty, and push back on the administrative and regulatory state are “threats to democracy.” Man-cause “Climate Change” is the primary cause of today’s extreme weather events. Much of this propaganda is pure projection - they are guilty what they accuse us of. I’m fighting against become enured to it, it’s as voluminous as it is obvious.
Maybe that’s what they’re counting on.
And when they’re not trying to Jedi mind trick us, they’re glossing over or ignoring incredibly important historical anniversaries, including the most recent one - the disasterous and grotesquely incompetent Afghanistan withdrawal that occurred just two years ago this month? Seen much about that in the New York Times, or any of the broadcast networks? You shouldn’t be surprised. Fortunately, there’s a terrific new book, Kabul, by Jerry Dunleavy and James Hasson (both of The Federalist) on this genuine man-caused disaster for which not a single politician or military leader has been held responsible, despite 13 unecessary and tragic deaths from a suicide bomber.
The links to posts below include terrific contributions from longtime political demographer and pundit Michael Barone; David Harsanyi of The Federalist, and a couple of others. I strongly recommend them. They won’t take long.
Probably the most laughable media propaganda is regarding Argentina’s most recent presidential primary election and the leading candidate, who dares espouse conservative economic theory and principles, and challenge the status quo. It’s democracy in action.
Enjoy, although the last one, a podcast interview, will anger you.

Glad you shared the book, Kabul. My daughter is Tyler’s neighbor and she and her family have done fundraising from lemonade stands with the kids to galas honoring and calling attention to this travesty. People are talking. Take heart.
Kelly. Good stuff. For some reason I thought about your name, “Against the Grain.” It hit me as kind of defeatist. The grain doesn’t change. Our side determines the grain, not crazed, degenerate leftists. How could this have happened? The media is owned by the left. But this is more. Right out of hell. It is so not natural. Not the real “grain.” Once we admit they are in setting what’s normal ,we lose a battle. We are right, they are wrong. That is not political closed mindedness. In this case, of course they are wrong! We must never stop fighting. We must be bold. Here’s a name that I was going to use. It’s all yours. “Pitchforks and Lanterns.” 😉
