Check out what Joe Rogan and Aaron Rodgers had to say about the media’s blistering attacks



Joe Rogan and Aaron Rodgers are no strangers to controversy. The fact that these two have dared to share thoughts contrary to those promoted by the radical left have resulted in both men being crucified by the liberal-owned media.

But that hasn’t stopped either of them from fighting the woke mind virus. Dave Rubin is encouraged by Rogan and Rodgers’ willingness to share their red-pilling experiences because it’s people like them who are encouraging others to “wake up.”

A couple of days ago, Rodgers, who the media has painted as a “conspiracy theorist” and a “racist,” was invited on “The Joe Rogan Experience” again to discuss Big Pharma’s iron grip on the narrative.

“They are f***ing controlling the message,” Rodgers said, adding that “the alphabet companies,” such as the CDC and the NIH, “have been lying and misleading the public for so long.”

Rodgers explained that the reason people, including himself and Rogan, get “slaughtered by the media” for speaking out or even questioning the narrative is because it’s Big Pharma “who’s paying [the media].”

“It’s corporate controlled,” agreed Rogan, and “it's not beneficial to the greater good of society.”

Dave remembers how, during the height of the pandemic, “they'd be covering COVID on NBC News, CNN, ABC, etc. and then they'd cut to commercial – ‘Brought to you by Pfizer.”

“Oh really? So you're taking money from the very people who you are supposed to be objectively talking about and criticizing where criticism is due?” he scoffs.

CNN specifically went to great lengths to villainize Rogan for his position on COVID. Dave plays an old clip from CNN of Rogan explaining how he used “ivermectin” and other tried-and-true medications to treat COVID next to the original clip Rogan posted himself.

In CNN’s version, Rogan’s face is a sickly shade of greenish-gray, whereas in the original clip, his coloring is completely normal.

“At the exact same time as all of this was unfolding, suddenly for two weeks the entire mainstream media was calling Joe Rogan racist because they unearthed videos of him saying the n-word even though he was not saying it in a racist way; he was saying it to mock the people who actually are racist,” Dave recounts, clearly showing the media’s obvious motivation to de-platform and defame Rogan for being a nonconformist.

On the subject of motivation, Rodgers had something to say about what fuels companies like CNN and people like Jimmy Kimmel, who also blasted Rogan on his show for taking “horse goo” instead of getting vaccinated.

“I lost friends, allies in the media [and] millions of dollars in sponsorship because I talked about what worked for me, my own beliefs, and my own health reasons [behind] why I didn't get vaccinated,” Rodgers explained.

“They vilified all early treatments,” including widely used ivermectin — a Nobel Prize-winning drug — because if they hadn’t, they wouldn’t have gotten “the [user acquisition].”

“The point of all this,” says Dave, “is that when you stand up, there is going to be a cost.”

Luckily, “the truth does work over time.”

Leftists tear into AP Stylebook for recommending avoidance of the term 'TERF'



Leftists pounced on the AP Stylebook for recommending that people avoid using the acronym "TERF," which stands for "trans-exclusionary radical feminist."

"Avoid the vague and politicized terms trans-exclusionary radical feminist or its acronym, TERF, and gender-critical to describe cisgender women or others who object to the inclusion of transgender women in women's spaces. Instead, be specific about a person's or group's objections, and paraphrase quotations that use the terms unless needed for a compelling reason," AP Stylebook tweeted.

\u201cOn our updated Transgender Topical Guide: trans-exclusionary radical feminist.\nWe recommend avoiding the vague and politicized term to describe cisgender women or others who object to the inclusion of transgender women in women's spaces.\nhttps://t.co/HEBdoiEWnM\u201d
— APStylebook (@APStylebook) 1686764560

But leftists tore into AP Stylebook for making the suggestion.

"This isn’t a style tip. It’s a politically-motivated transphobic wet-paper-towel mealy-mouthed stance. This is wrong, and it’s anti-queer, and cruel. Do better, AP. Right now," one person tweeted.

"This is journalistic malpractice," someone asserted.

"TERF is specific. It says exactly what it means. You are f****** cowards at best, and TERFs at worst. Literally trash. Glad that my editorial house doesn't follow your style, and I will certainly not be taking advice from you any time soon," someone else tweeted.

"'TERF' and 'Gender Critical' are concise, useful terms that describe a reactionary political bloc whose "objections" are based in transphobia and junk science. AP is laundering a hate movement's reputation and giving it legitimacy it doesn't deserve. Shameful," someone tweeted.

"Pretty f***** up that @APStylebook is siding with literal fascists trying to literally kidnap and literally murder trans people rather than advise journalists use the literal descriptive term. Cowards!" someone wrote.

Cultural debate continues to rage over whether men who identify as women should be allowed to utilize faciltiies designated for females, such as women's restrooms, and whether men who identify as women should be allowed to compete in women's and girls' sports.

'Total bulls***': Legendary author responds after she is accused of being a 'TERF' for supporting JK Rowling



Legendary author Judy Blume was forced to issue a clarifying statement on Sunday after she offered public support for J.K. Rowling.

In an interview with the Sunday Times, Blume — whose books have reportedly sold more than 90 million copies — explained that she "100%" stands behind Rowling, who is repeatedly targeted for believing that the trans agenda erodes women's rights.

"I love her," Blume told the news outlet. "I am behind her 100% as I watch from afar."

Blume later characterized Rowling as "a victim of Twitter, because people believe what they read on Twitter, whatever you actually said."

The comments led to online outrage and accusations that she is a "TERF," which stands for "trans-exclusionary radical feminist." Trans activists use the term in a derogatory manner to describe women who do not support the trans agenda.

But what is Blume saying now?

The 85-year-old author released a statement that declared unequivocal support for the trans community and claimed the Sunday Times took her comments out of context.

"I wholly support the trans community," Blume said.

"My point, which was taken out of context, is that I can empathize with a writer — or person — who has been harassed online," she added. "I stand with the trans community and vehemently disagree with anyone who does not fully support equality and acceptance for LGBTQIA+ people. Anything to the contrary is total bulls**t."

\u201chttps://t.co/jaRYqNPJv1\u201d
— Judy Blume (@Judy Blume) 1681680444

It's not clear, however, exactly how Blume's comments were taken out of context.

The article, in fact, contextualized her remarks, explaining that Blume was "referring to the abuse Rowling has received for speaking up in defence of women's sex-based rights, and given that Blume has faced repeated attacks since the 1980s, for her books' descriptions of adolescent sexuality and puberty, she knows what it’s like to be pilloried as an author."

The only way that Blume's remarks could be out of context, then, is if the writer was being dishonest about the context provided.

The article, moreover, does not suggest that Blume agrees with Rowling about everything.

The article's headline — "Judy Blume: ‘I’m behind JK Rowling 100 per cent’" — may suggest more similitude with Rowling's beliefs than Blume was trying to communicate, but that would only be an assumption by online critics ready to pounce on anyone who supports Rowling. Blume did say she supports Rowling, and later contextualized that to mean she supports her insofar as she believes Rowling is a victim of online harassment, which her statement reiterated.

Fans turn on Bette Midler when she defends women from 'inclusive' trans agenda: 'Don't let them erase you!'



Actress Bette Midler sent her woke fans into an outrage on Monday when she defended women against the onslaught of the transgender agenda that says biological men can be women.

What did Midler say?

Declaring independence from the increasingly aggressive trans agenda, Midler said that women are "being stripped" of everything that makes them unique.

"WOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name! They don’t call us 'women' anymore; they call us 'birthing people' or 'menstruators', and even 'people with vaginas'!" Midler tweeted.

"Don’t let them erase you! Every human on earth owes you!" she added.

\u201cWOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name! They don\u2019t call us \u201cwomen\u201d anymore; they call us \u201cbirthing people\u201d or \u201cmenstruators\u201d, and even \u201cpeople with vaginas\u201d! Don\u2019t let them erase you! Every human on earth owes you!\u201d

Midler did not specify whom she meant by "they," but she was presumably referring to activists and organizations that demand everyone uses "inclusive" language. Such language claims that biological men can also be women and undergo the same experiences that are unique to women.

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, for example, the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood made it clear they believe that "abortion care" is not limited to women.

What was the reaction?

Midler's tweet generated fierce backlash from people who believe she is promoting discrimination and — gasp — "transphobia."

The actress was even accused of being a "TERF," or trans-exclusionary radical feminist, a term that pro-trans advocates call women who believe that calling a biological man/transgender woman a "woman" erodes the true meaning of femininity.

  • "Bette. Don’t be a TERF. Don’t make us boycott Hocus Pocus 2," journalist Kris Vire said.
  • "SAD NEWS: Macy Gray & Bette Midler have come out as TERFs.Unfollow, un-support, and unsubscribe," journalist Ernest Owens said.
  • "F*** Bette Midler too. It’s all of us or it’s none of us. We don’t get there with transphobic nonsense," Imani Barbarin said.
  • "No one is trying to erase women with inclusive language about people who need abortion care. No one is calling you anything but what you prefer. You should extend that courtesy in return," author Roxane Gay reacted.
  • "Suddenly I don’t want Hocus Pocus 2 anymore…… Really shocked to see she has fallen into this Voldemort way of thinking," YouTuber Roly West said.
  • "Oh Christ almighty you bought this bulls***," journalist Katelyn Burns complained.
  • "Of course she's a TERF," activist Wagatwe Wanjuki said.

Transgender journalist India Willoughby even accused Midler of promoting "fascist propaganda" disseminated by foreign intelligence agencies and claimed Midler has adopted tactics used by Joseph Stalin and chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

Adele ‘Loves Being A Woman,’ Just Like Other Females Whose Spaces Are Being Erased For ‘Inclusivity’

When cultural influences ditch sex-specific prestige, they take away the honor that comes with being an accomplished woman.

Adele says 'I really love being a woman!' and a few woke folks accuse singer of transphobia. But Twitter backs up Adele — and tears detractors to shreds.



When world-famous singer Adele was named artist of the year at Tuesday's Brit Awards — which for the first time ditched male and female categories in favor of gender-neutral prizes — she seemed quite relaxed and admitted she wasn't expecting it.

With that, Adele tossed off a casual confession in the wake of her win: “I understand why the name of this award has changed, but I really love being a woman and being a female artist! I do!” she said to the adoring audience. "I do!"

“I’m really proud of us, I really, really am,” she added.

What happened next?

If you figured the woke mob blasted Adele for her oh-so-gender-exclusive remark, it doesn't appear to be the case, believe it or not.

Oh, sure, a few folks spoke out against the singer's pro-woman declaration. Page Six, which cited the Times of London, said some detractors indicated they “lost a lot of respect for Adele” and would no longer “spend a cent on her music.”

Then there was a “staunch feminist” performer named Jacob who posted to his Twitter followers, “Please, no, ADELE can’t be a TERF,” Page Six added. TERF stands for "trans-exclusionary radical feminist."

But alas, Jacob's Twitter page — for some reason — indicated on Wednesday afternoon that it's now protected.

Screenshots of two Twitter users' posts read as follows: "Adele honey, that was ... low-key transphobic" and "why is Adele transphobic?" But the original tweets weren't on the users' pages Wednesday.

Another screenshot showed a Twitter user's post that read: "I love Adele, but that 'woman' comment seemed like a bit of a dig; non-binary artists deserve better." But again, the original tweet was nowhere to be found on the user's page Wednesday.

So it would seem headlines referring to a pitchfork-wielding woke mob out to get Adele are overblowing it a bit.

Lots of support for Adele

But what isn't overblown is the vast number of folks supporting Adele's statement. Here are a couple:

  • “Thank you @Adele. Just, thank you. For speaking the 2 words being vilified. Woman. Female," author Onjali Rauf tweeted. "Despite all the hate this world throws our way for being (double then triple that if you're a woman of colour & visible faith), I wouldn't have it any other way, either."
  • Teacher and journalist Debbie Hayton noted in an op-ed for the Spectator “girls need role models, and last night Adele stepped up to the plate. For that, she deserves applause, even greater than the adulation she received for her music.”

Numerous others followed suit:

  • "Thank you Adele for using those words," another Twitter user said. "Really important that we NEVER lose them."
  • "Yes, Adele," another user added.
  • "The words, 'woman' and 'female' are being erased," another user observed. "Well said, Adele."

And a whole bunch more fired back at any hint of backlash that might be heading for Adele:

  • "Let’s get society to a point where a woman saying 'I'm a woman, and I like it' isn’t an act of f***ing bravery," one commenter noted.
  • "She's a woman. She's a female artist. This should not be problematic," another user said.
  • "2022. The year in which the cult of gender has taken such a hold that when the winner of the Brits says "I really love being a woman and being a female artist" she is castigated. She'll now be [pressured] to apologize," another commenter offered. "Are you getting it yet?"
  • "A decade ago if someone had said a woman would criticized for the thought-crime of saying she liked being a woman, I would have laughed at such a ludicrous suggestion. Now it is happening, I don't know whether to cry or scream," another user noted. "Congratulations #Adele, and thank you."

JK Rowling pillories trans activists who shared her address on social media, says she will never stop defending biological women's sex-based rights



Famed "Harry Potter" author J. K. Rowling has come out swinging against trans activists who reportedly attempted to intimidate her by sharing photos of her address to social media.

What are the details?

In a lengthy Twitter thread, the 55-year-old author — both a feminist and vocal supporter in defending biological gender — revealed that three transgender activists doxed her on social media.

She wrote, "Last Friday, my family's address was posted on Twitter by three activist actors who took pictures of themselves in front of our house, carefully positioning themselves to ensure that our address was visible."

"I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who reported the image to @TwitterSupport," the author continued. "Your kindness and decency made all the difference to my family and me. I'd also like to thank @PoliceScotland for their support and assistance in this matter."

Rowling also asked social media users if they would remove any instances of the photos featuring her personal information.

"I implore those people who retweeted the image with the address still visible, even if they did so in condemnation of these people's actions, to delete it," she continued, pointing out that women ought not be intimidated after speaking up for that which they believe.

She added, "Over the last few years I've watched, appalled, as women like Allison Bailey, Raquel Sanchez, Marion Miller, Rosie Duffield, Joanna Cherry, Julie Bindel, Rosa Freedman, Kathleen Stock, and many, many others, including women who have no public profile ... but who've contacted me to relate their experiences, have been subject to campaigns of intimidation which range from being hounded on social media, the targeting of their employers, all the way up to doxing and direct threats of violence, including rape."

Rowling pointed out that such women are no way as prolific as the worldwide best-selling author and have far less of an arsenal of protection with which to fight back.

"None of these women are protected in the way I am," she continued. "They and their families have been put into a state of fear and distress for no other reason than that they refuse to uncritically accept that the socio-political concept of gender identity should replace that of sex."

Rowling then went on to identify those she said intentionally revealed her private address, calling them out by name: Holly Stars, Richard Energy, and Georgia Frost.

"I have to assume that @IAmGeorgiaFrost, @hollywstars and @Richard_Energy_ thought [doxing] me would intimidate me out of speaking up for women's sex-based rights. They should have reflected on the fact that ... I've now received so many death threats I could paper the house with them, and I haven't stopped speaking out," she concluded. "Perhaps – and I'm just throwing this out there – the best way to prove your movement isn't a threat to women, is to stop stalking, harassing, and threatening us."

I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who reported the image to @TwitterSupport. Your kindness and decency made all the difference to my family and me. I\u2019d also like to thank @PoliceScotland for their support and assistance in this matter. 2/8

Rowling's thread has received tens of thousands of likes at the time of this reporting.

What else?

Stars ultimately removed the photo after heavy criticism of the move, the Daily Mail reported.

Stars, Energy, and Frost have also reportedly deleted their own Twitter accounts.

Rowling has been under fire since at least 2019 when she voiced her support for researcher Maya Forstater, who lost her job after insisting that people are not scientifically able to change biological genders.

In 2020, she took fire after criticizing a news article that referred to "people who menstruate" instead of calling them "women."

At the time, she quipped, "People who menstruate. I'm sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?"

Following the incredible backlash, Rowling added, “If sex isn't real, there's no same-sex attraction. If sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is erased."
