The War on Pronouns is Really a War on Language

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 4/20/2023 8:32:13 PM

The use of plural pronouns (“they/them”) to refer to a single person has insidiously crept into our language. This practice is especially common in mass media publications and other establishment writings. It is more than a mere passing fad. It is time for us to understand what this trend really means for all of us. One recent example I noticed was linked by msn.com and included the headline, “Non-Binary Ex-Biden Staffer Sam Brinton's Family Calls Them A Liar, Claims Their Abuse Story Never Happened.” The headline is incomprehensible by traditional rules of grammar. The reader would not know who is meant by “Them” and “Their.”

Comments:

I refuse to play the pronoun game.

It may be a war on language, but more importantly it is a rebellion against the Creator.

I am not going to participate in this lunacy. Ever. My cousin’s son is a transgender. I still refer to him with his birth name and refuse to acknowledge his psychotic fantasy that he is a woman. Makes me rather unpopular with that side of the family. Ok.

What's funny is the pronoun game apparently does not apply to all the foreign-speaking people flooding the country. In most other languages the gender of words is set in stone.

I may be misremembering this from 2nd grade English but when unsure on a singular item when describing "it" but you can't tell if it's male or female it goes to the male. E.g. you see a dolphin chasing fish in the ocean. You can't tell if it's a male or a female. When describing what you're seeing to your friends you declare "Look at him go !!!"

I’ve never been asked for my pronouns but if it ever happens my response will be - my pronouns are grow/up. If I get pushback, my pronouns will become F/U.

Why Jimmy Kimmel Is Wrong About Arming Teachers 7 replies
Posted by Hazymac 4/23/2023 9:46:32 AM Post Reply
Jimmy Kimmel may never stop apologizing for making bikini models bounce on trampolines. That bit became part of The Man Show lore, and something no modern program would attempt today. Kimmel’s Comedy Central series, co-hosted by Adam Carolla, embraced faux misogyny and so-called toxic masculinity. So Kimmel uses his late-night ABC perch to make amends, hoping the woke mob won’t “rediscover” his problematic jokes of yore. (Snip) How? By embracing a hard-Left mindset and throwing out progressive talking points on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Case in point, this comment about arming school teachers to prevent future shootings. “What a remarkably stupid and dangerous idea,” Kimmel said. He joked that if this had

The media love affair with the most suspicious person involved with the Left’s Jan. 6 hoax, Ray Epps, continues. On Sunday evening, 60 Minutes is planning to air a profile of Epps, a man whom they claim has been unjustly vilified in the conservative media. In doing so, they’re just calling new attention to the gaping holes in their Jan. 6 propaganda narrative. The Leftist political and media elites have been insisting ever since Jan. 6, 2021, that the disturbance at the Capitol on that day constituted an “insurrection,” an actual attempt to overthrow the government of the United States and, presumably, to install Donald Trump as a dictator.
An update on 'Long COVID' 5 replies

On April 21, Tim Meads of the Daily Wire reported that nothing has come of the $1 billion in funding provided to the NIH for "Long COVID" research. He is right. A brief internet search for "Long COVID" reveals a common sentiment along the lines of "scientists don't know what causes Long COVID." Even the latest NIH publication from March of 2022 (over a year ago) says, "Scientists don't know for sure what causes Long COVID." This is amazing, since it took only a fraction of that time to come up with a miracle "cure" for COVID and distribute it all over the world.

At Billboard magazine, they are reporting that Sony is in talks for a $300 million buyout deal for a big record label, Rimas, that manages, records and produces a slew of top rappers, including the big one at the moment, someone who raps under the name "Bad Bunny": (Snip) That's quite an accomplishment for a guy who laid down a $2 million investment and in the buyout is expected to take out more than a hundred million dollars. Jimenez's majority ownership in Rimas was revealed in the wake of a lawsuit by an angry ex-wife of Jimenez's partner, Noah Assad, who wanted a greater share of the divorce spoils.

The funny thing about waging war against reality is that reality always wins. There is simply no way around it. Leftists will never prevail in their quest to claim that men can become women and women men. Even if technology advances to the point where every single cell of an individual can be transformed, that person will still have a male or female mindset that will manifest itself in all manner of unexpected ways. And the real-life downside of the transgender madness has still only partially emerged. Another aspect of it became clear in North Carolina recently, when a female high-school athlete was seriously injured in competition

Well, this is disappointing news. The Washington Post reported Thursday that “the national Democratic Party has said it will support Biden’s reelection, and it has no plans to sponsor primary debates.” It’s understandable: the Dems have a president, of sorts, and so they’re counting on the power of incumbency to help their superannuated kleptocrat get over the top again. However, it’s also immensely disappointing, because after years and years of Democratic presidential debates being dreary displays of candidates trying to out-socialist one another, 2024 Democratic primary debates would have actually had something to offer.

During a Congressional hearing about the Twitter Files and the government’s involvement in the censorship of speech on Twitter, Democrats were doing all they could to attack and try to smear the journalists who were involved in the reporting including an independent journalist, Matt Taibbi. Not only did they smear the Twitter Files reporters, but they also tried to find out their sources. So much for freedom of the press. Then Taibbi found out that on that same day, the IRS showed up on his doorstep. That’s chilling when you have to have such concerns about the government being weaponized against you because the Democrats don’t like that you’re challenging
Going Beyond Feel-Good Legislation: The
Truth about Gun Control Laws

Posted by Hazymac 4/21/2023 1:39:47 PM Post Reply
The list of things I hate about politics is long and distinguished. But near the top of that list is something I call “feel good legislation.” Feel good legislation refers to laws that don’t serve any purpose other than to make people feel as if the government is doing something to solve a problem. One example would be hate crime laws like the one Congress passed in 2021 ostensibly to address violence against Asians. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that this particular law won’t save a single Asian life. But it sure feels good, doesn’t it? The thing about feel good laws is that, while they make

In findings that will shock no one living in the real world, reviews of evidence in several European countries reportedly found that transgender treatments and surgeries don’t actually solve mental health issues as predicted. Many young people are talked into “gender transitions” because they are told that this is the best or only way to prevent suicide. But the evidence simply isn’t there to back up such a claim. A review published on April 14 for Current Sexual Health Reports acknowledged the fact that hacking off body parts and halting normal puberty development doesn’t create the utopian joy LGBTQ that activists anticipate. The review explains under “Recent Findings”:

The Oakland Athletics, who claim to be a major league baseball team, announced Wednesday: “The A’s have signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a future ballpark in Las Vegas. We realize this is a difficult day for our Oakland fans,” all five of them, “and community.” Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao underlined the team’s statement by revealing that the city was “ceasing negotiations” with the A’s on a new ballpark. The move is going to take a while: the Athletics don’t expect to be playing in Vegas until the 2027 season, but it does appear certain that woke Oakland is about to lose its third and last

An interesting argument from an even more interesting source, considering that the Wall Street Journal shares an owner with Fox News. News of the utterly predictable decision by the Murdochs to settle the Dominion defamation suit prompted wailing and gnashing of teeth from competitors and journalists throughout the land, who had wanted the court to force Fox and its hosts to admit on the air that they lied about “stop the steal.” WSJ’s editors quote Politico’s overwrought observation that “hopes were dashed — dreams torpedoed” as “hilariously revealing,” but as I noted yesterday, they were hardly alone in weeping over a lost apology. “Dreams torpedoed,” though?

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said New York City is being “destroyed” by President Joe Biden’s migrant crisis during a panel discussion in Washington, DC, hosted by the African American Mayors Association. “The city is being destroyed by the migrant crisis,” Adams bluntly stated. Adams was joined on the panel by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D), and outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D). Adams seemingly took a shot at other New York City officials, accusing them of not fighting hard enough to get federal resources to the city. “And none of my folks came to Washington, DC, to fight for the resources

Meghan Markle’s decision not to attend the coronation of King Charles III is said to be partly over “unconscious bias” regarding race, sources have claimed. Meghan Markle, the wife of wayward British Prince Harry, has reportedly refused to go to her father-in-law’s coronation over an ongoing race row she is having with the UK royal family, sources have told the UK press. It comes after confirmation that the American actress would stay in California instead of attending the event, with the justification given at the time being that she wants to celebrate her son’s birthday, which falls on the same day. However, according to a report by The Telegraph,

Thomas has traveled on GOP donor Harlan Crow’s private plane and megayacht for years without reporting those gifts as law requires. Additionally, in 2014 Crow purchased Thomas’ childhood home in Georgia, where he allows Thomas’ mother to live rent-free.

It looks like actions might have consequences in the matter of Anheuser-Busch and its partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.

AdAge is reporting that the marketing VP has taken a “leave of absence” and has been replaced by Todd Allen, who has been the global marketing VP for Budweiser. (snip) According to a statement from City Distributors, a Topeka, Kans.-based Anheuser-Busich distributor, the custom can decision “circumvented the proper approval channels.” Now, is that a permanent “leave of absence”? It’s hard to know, but when they replace you, it sure sounds like you might not be coming back.

New Yorkers have been on edge in recent years. And why wouldn’t they be? Crime is soaring, the streets are filthy, and local shop owners are struggling to keep their doors open. It is apparently the perfect time, in Governor Kathy Hochul’s world, to test-run a plan to completely prohibit the sale of tobacco products in her state, because nothing says “leadership” like inserting yourself in the lives of anxious residents and robbing them of their cigarettes. [Tweet] According to the New York Post, Hochul’s state Health Department quietly commissioned a new survey to see how the public would react to an all-out ban on tobacco.

Not even an event thrown by Mayor Eric Adams is immune from the violence plaguing the Big Apple. An apparent emotionally disturbed woman got clobbered to the face Saturday by an unidentified man roughly 10 feet away from Adams during a “Car-Free Earth Day” celebration he hosted in the South Bronx. The woman, who appeared to be in her late 20s to early 30s, started the brouhaha around 1:45 p.m. along Roberto Clemente Plaza on Willis Avenue, according to a video captured by a Post photographer. She began repeatedly kicking bags of recyclables left along the plaza before opening them and dumping debris while bystanders stared in shock.
