A teammate of Lia Thomas appeared in What Is A Woman anonymously. A few days ago she came to us and said she is ready to come out publicly and tell her story. I had a longer conversation with Paula where she revealed a number of details that weren't covered in the film. Watch:
The most disturbing thing that @PaulaYScanlan revealed is the psychological manipulation from the school that made the real girls on the team question their own common sense and judgment. They knew it was wrong to have a man on the team but the gaslighting campaign was extremely… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

One of the big reasons for the current lack of patriotism and pride in our nation’s history is that about 40 years ago our most prominent storytellers in Hollywood just basically stopped telling stories about American history altogether, unless it has something to do with WW2, civil rights, or slavery. I mean they just released a movie about the meteorologist who did the weather report for D-Day. They’ll give WW2 weathermen their own movies before they tell a story from any other era of American history.
The Right has attempted to counteract this a little bit, but “conservative” attempts at American history films and TV shows are invariably hokey and kid friendly, the kind of thing you can watch with your grandmother and your 5 year old, and you’ll all be equally informed and bored by the experience.
We need R-rated adult-oriented American history stories. Daniel Boone should have his own series. It would be gritty and violent and not for children, but it would also be phenomenally entertaining and put an American legend back on the cultural map, so to speak. The fact that Daniel Boone hasn’t been depicted on screen at all since like the 60s is a travesty. Throw a dart at that guy’s Wikipedia page and you’ll land on something that could be its own feature length trilogy.
That’s just one example. How is there not a great R-rated movie or series about Antietam? Or Kit Carson? Or the Panama Canal? How does Theodore Roosevelt not have like 10 movies about different periods of his life?
You could go much farther back to pre-American history. A movie about Cortes’s conquest of Tenochtitlan would be tremendous and horrifying and fascinating, and it would introduce into the public consciousness one of the world’s most incredible stories that most Americans know next to nothing about. And on and on.
The possibilities are literally endless. All of these movies, if they’re executed to even a B+ level, could make hundreds of millions of dollars and transform the culture in a way that a million podcast monologues never could. If the Right actually wants to reclaim the culture, this is the place to start.
We blame the schools for the lack of historical knowledge and appreciation, which of course is fair. But people actually learn and appreciate history through stories. One good story could counteract a thousand bad textbooks. The stories are what matter.
In 1778, Daniel Boone escaped months of captivity by the Shawnee, fled over 150 miles of wilderness by horse and foot in just 5 days, and made it back to his settlement in just enough time to warn them of a coming attack. Then he fought to defend the settlement. That’s a movie right there. Perfectly divided into three acts. And that’s just one anecdote from the life of just one American legend.
A brief snapshot of the trans psychopaths calling for my death today. My catalogue of death threats and death wishes from trans people is now approximately the length of a Tolstoy novel.
Took some of my kids to see the Revenge of the Sith rerelease in theaters. Hadn’t seen it since it first came out. Even worse than I remembered. The worst dialogue I’ve ever heard in a mainstream Hollywood film. Abysmal action choreography. Not one good acting performance in the film. Truly a terrible pile of shit. An insult to the art of cinema. George Lucas should have been arrested.
Anakin: You’re so beautiful
Natalie Portman: It’s only because I’m so in love with
Anakin: No it’s because I’m so in love with you
Actual lines of dialogue in this moldy trash bag of a film. Outrageously bad.
My favorite part is at the end when they’re on the lava planet (for some reason) and they have a clumsily choreographed light saber duel that feels like it goes on for 6 and a half hours. Anakin jumps and flips through the air like Spider-Man but then at the end he loses because the other guy is standing on a small hill and has the higher ground. This was for some reason an insurmountable strategic advantage, even though Anakin had just seconds earlier leaped like 20 feet in the air while doing flips like an Olympic gymnast. So then Anakin decides to jump directly over top the other guy, close enough that he can just casually reach up and cut his legs off. He could have jumped anywhere else on the hill, or just a little higher, and avoided this issue.
The girlboss feminism routine isn’t just cringy. It also directly undermines our argument. The Citadel was a male-only space forced by law to admit females in the name of diversity and inclusion. That is the exact argument trans-identifying males use to invade female spaces. Nancy Mace was literally a beneficiary of a DEI program. It’s a ridiculous and tone deaf thing to brag about in this moment.
We rightly lament the death of female only spaces. But male only spaces died long before, thanks in part to the efforts of Nancy Mace.
Feminism set the stage for transgenderism. The feminists were the first to deny the fundamental and inherent differences between the sexes, and the value of sex segregation in many aspects of society. Feminists are largely to blame for the very problem that some of them now campaign against.
Next Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti. This is the culmination of our fight against the barbarism of child sex-changes, and it could be a Dobbs-style earthquake in terms of protecting children. Here's what you need to know.
2/ In Sept 2022, I published an investigation into TN’s most prestigious hospital — Vanderbilt — exposing staff talking about trans procedures as “huge money makers,” “consequences” when doctors object, and the hormones & mastectomies given to youth.
3/ The public was outraged, TN politicians demanded answers, and Vanderbilt promised to “pause” and “review” their surgeries for removing the breasts of healthy teenage girls.
1/ Kamala became VP in 2020 because of DEI. She became the nominee in 2024 because of DEI. Now, @DoNoHarm has compiled a list of all the ways the Biden-Harris Admin spent your money on DEI. As a certified DEI expert myself, here are my favorites:
2/ The TSA deployed new "imaging technology" to "reduce the instances of enhanced screening for trans persons." Basically, TSA officers no longer ask your gender, and they don’t mind seeing unexpected "objects" when "women" walk through the body scanner. Feel safer yet?
3/ HUD announced a new plan to combat the scourge of homeless asexuals.
