Breaking :Act Blue to be investigated for alleged foreign funding .
And here you are, "Frank", showing how much a non-American cares about how US tax dollars are spent. What do you think all this groveling will give you, buddy - a green card? -

Controlling hunger
It is simple, it is all about dicipline, same as smoking, alcohol, and using medication that mask the real problems. Simple -

The Illusion of Liberty: How the Anti-Woke Right Betrayed Its Own Principles
The hypocrisy and/or shallowness of the Woke brigade is breathtaking. Western societies have had enough, the powerful ideologues went too far. You don't have to be right wing to be have deep concerns about: 1. What is taught to children regarding sex. At what age do you folk think sexual orientation should be addressed at school? Let alone treating gender re-assignment as being quite normal, and nothing to tell your parents about. Don't know how some of you can sleep at night. 2. Critical race theory - that's right THEORY became a mantra in Anglosphere. So most white people apparently suffer from unconscious racism. Taught again to kids. In Australia, Caucasion students apologizing in class for their supposed ancestors' behaviours. Lord knows what the Asian kids make of it. Crikey my Grandad was a Colonel in the White Russian army and my parents taught me to respect all races while some of their friends were gay. 3. Anti-colonialism proliferates in our universities. Monuments defaced. Slavery is portrayed as a European colonial initiative, ignoring thousands of years of slave trade along the Silk Road and widespread in Africa. Western societies led the banning of slavery, but most kids, even adolescents unaware. Is it any wonder rates of adolescent depression in the West have soared to unprecedented levels. 4. DEI has reached ridiculous levels. Company policies, applying quotas and inane repetitive reporting. Who voted for this <deleted>? Well they're voting now. Many people wouldn't be aware of the silliness unless they work in corporations. 5. Speakers from anti-woke circles are banned, sometimes by governments or often from speaking at universities. Anti-woke celebrities cancelled. The cancel culture of the Woke brigade is abhorrent and devoid of respect for another's view - talk about free speech. So often, trying to have a discussion around the subject with Woke folk is not possible as quickly degenerates into personal attacks (you're just racist, or denier of colonial injustices etc etc) rather than discussion of the issues. I tend to find these people naively well meaning, devoid of historical context and unaware of what the Humanities and Law Departments of universities have turned into. Hey, unis were left wing, as I was 50 years ago (still see myself as Centrist), but it's much more insidious now with the history distortions and contempt for capitalism. Meanwhile, the workers were left behind amongst this righteous, divisive, unproductive, and ultimately corrosive chapter in the West, most prominent in English speaking countries. The rest of the world are either bemused or in some cases virulently opposed to the Woke movement, unless they want to join the anti-colonial bandwagon. -
