Conservative Resources Conservative Resources THE PROUD MAJORITY Published by Middle Room Publishing 6924 Chester Trail Lakewood Ranch, FL 34202 Copyright©2021 by The Proud Majority A Florida 501c3 Non-profit Organization Library of Congress Identification Applied For THE PROUD MAJORITY 2 foreword America didn’t become the greatest country in the history of humanity by accident. It happened because America was founded based on the principles of Natural Law and Natural Rights, which is synchronized with Human Nature. Commitment to these principles enabled Americans to prosper, guided by the optimum balance between liberty and responsibility to community. Simply stated: Natural rights, according to Locke, were those rights that sprang from the exercise of “Natural Law”: · a right to property, since we have a corresponding duty not to steal · a right to life, since we have a duty not to kill ∙ a right to liberty, since we have a duty not to oppress). Today that ideal balance is threatened by the infusion of progressive ideology and principles. America’s core principles are simple and elegant and must be adhered-to, preserved, and strengthened. We are convinced that these truths can overcome the distortion of progressive ideals, but only if enough people understand them. Our goal is to assist Americans identify the quality Organizations, Publications, and Books that promote American core values. The journey of learning our history and principles is very inspiring. Armed with this knowledge, you will easily see through the progressive rhetoric, distortions, and tactics and help in saving our great country.

Gabrielle Adjerad In light of what has been institutionalized in the nineties as “intersectionality” (Crenshaw, 1989), but emanated from a long tradition of feminism fostered by women of color (Hill-Collins, Bilge, 2016), feminist theory has increasingly shed light on the plurality of women’s experiences, the inseparable, overlapping and simultaneous differences constituting their identities, and the materiality of the various dominations engendered. At the turn of the twenty-first century, this paradigm seems compelling to address fictional diasporic narratives addressing the diverse discriminations encountered by migrant women and their descendants in the United States. However, adopting an intersectional feminist approach of literature, for research or in the classroom, raises methodological issues that this paper contends with. Some thinkers have considered the double pitfall of considering, on the one hand, the text as a mimetic document of plural lives and, on the other, of essentializing a symbolical “écriture feminine” (Felski, 1989). Some have highlighted the necessary critical movement between the archetypal dimension of gender and the social and historical individuals diversely affected by this ideology (De Lauretis, 1987). Yet, beyond this tension between an attention paid to abstraction on the one hand and experience on the other, we can consider that hegemony is made of different ideologies that may contradict one another (Balibar, Wallerstein, 1991).

  • Wilburn 1 Ryan Wilburn Capstone Bednar 1 April 2021 First Full Draft
    Wilburn 1 Ryan Wilburn Capstone Bednar 1 April 2021 First Full Draft For the December 2020 issue, Harry Styles, ex-boyband heartthrob, appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine in a blue, lacey, floor length Gucci dress. The cover received attention from far and wide, especially on social media. Vogue and Styles tweeted the cover image and a link to the cover article on November 13th, 2020 (Figure 1), sparking conversation among Twitter users, both fans of Styles and those who found issues with the cover. I analyzed a set of responses on Twitter to Harry Styles’ Vogue magazine cover photo and the ensuing controversy over gender performance and masculinity. I followed Gillian Rose’s method of discourse analysis, Discourse I, and worked through the lenses of hegemony, hegemonic masculinity, and gender performativity to answer the following research questions: 1. How does hegemonic masculinity shape the way Twitter users respond to non-normative presentations of masculinity, like Harry Styles wearing a dress for Vogue? 2. What does hegemony look like on Twitter and how might that differ from society as a whole? What is dominant in this particular space? In my experience as a Twitter user, the platform is used in an incredibly unique way. As a social media site, it affords a possibility of wide reach for posts, allowing people to connect with posts from users they have no previous connection with, even no mutual friends with. The short, quick post style allows users to post their responses to an original post with lighting speed and share that thought with their followers.

  • We Welcome Your Support in Our Nonpartisan War on Waste. It's Your
    PAID ADVERTISEMENT President Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, In our previous two communications in The Wall Street Journal, we called attention to the lurking threat our country faces from an exploding national debt fueled by runaway government spending. We urged you to lead a national campaign to restore fi scal soundness to our great country by waging a nonpartisan War on Waste. From a recent U.S. Government Accountability Offi ce report*: “Since 2003…cumulative improper payment estimates have totaled about $1.4 trillion.” $1,400,000,000,000. Examples of improper payments are payments to doctors with suspended or revoked medical licenses or to people identifi ed as deceased in federal death fi les. A War on Waste is long overdue. We respectfully recommend that you announce to the nation that you are beginning a four-step War on Waste, that stamping out profl igate government spending is a top priority of your administration. Step 1 – Start a Transparency Revolution Publicize every White House expenditure. Direct every department and agency in your administration to follow suit. Classifi ed expenditures would be excluded. Transparency will be a culture-changing force. It will revolutionize government. It will infl uence how people vote. Knowing there is nowhere to hide will motivate politicians to earn votes with fi scal prudence rather than wasting taxpayer dollars by buying votes. We are living in the Information Age and the Big Data world. There is no reason why every government expenditure should not be public, accessible to the voting public via cell phone, computer, and iPad.

Under the First Amendment, the government cannot compel Twitter to produce information related to the Account unless it “can show a compelling interest in the sought-after material and a sufficient nexusbetween the subject matter of the investigation and the information it seek[s].” Inre Grand Jury Subpoena No. 11116275,846 F. Supp. 2d 1, 4 (D.D.C.2012)(internal quotation marksomitted).While Twitter does not have visibility into the purpose of the Subpoena, Twitter has serious concerns whether the government can meet this standard given the context in which it has received the Subpoena. It appears to Twitter that the Subpoena may be related to Congressman Devin Nunes’s repeated efforts to unmask individuals behind parody accounts critical of him. His efforts to suppress critical speech are as well-publicized as they are unsuccessful.He recently sued Twitter, attempting to hold it liable for speech by the parody Twitter accounts @DevinCow, @DevinNunesMom,@fireDevinNunes,and @DevinGrapes, and asking the court in that case to Case 1:20-sc-03082-BAH Document 3 Filed 03/10/21 Page 2 of 16 order Twitter to disclose information identifying those accounts.

  • UNIVERSITY of BELGRADE FACULTY of POLITICAL SCIENCES Regional Master’S Program in Peace Studies
    UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE FACULTY OF POLITICAL SCIENCES Regional Master’s Program in Peace Studies Master’s Thesis Understanding the rise and the internationalisation of online alt-right’s subculture: how memes are changing political culture worldwide Author: Anesa Omeragić 515/16 Mentor: Professor Marina Simić Belgrade, September 2019 1 Abstract and keywords This paper examines the creation and the development of alt-right subculture, their language and behaviour. Alt-right was mainstreamed in 2016, and it is growing fast in the post-truth environment. Alt-right fights with stigmatisation that usually far-right movement face with the ironic and subtler language, rejection of the political correctness and use of jokes, sarcastic and nihilist approach and dark humour memes to spread their ideology. Alt-right members seem young, smart and exciting. They are gathering in board-based websites and/or forums that have little or no freedom of speech control. Lack of regulation and anonymity give them the opportunity to say what they mean, to spread the message and radicalise more. Alt-right online subculture was somewhat connected with rising of white supremacy’s violence globally in the past couple of years. Alt-right online subculture was especially compared with the four mass shootings or attempted mass shootings in the past six months – In Australia, Norway and the US. There is a danger that this trend of rising alt-right violence will continue. The public is not very- well informed about the alt-right community and its language, and it is essential to educate, especially youth, because of the danger of radicalisation.

  • Introduction
    Brown 1 Erin Brown Professor Wood WMNST 492W 4/13/21 The Politics for Survivors of Sexual Violence: A Critique of the #MeToo Movement Introduction: The hashtag “MeToo” went viral online when actress Alyssa Milano tweeted on October 15th, 2017, “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet” (Gill 1). The tweet went viral with Alyssa Milano quickly giving credit to Tarana Burke, a Black women who created the phrase #MeToo and had been leading sexual violence activism for many years (Gill 1). In the following days, twitter would become flooded with accounts of sexual violence, showing many people, for the first time, the trauma of violence: @colecat06: Me too. There shouldn’t be so many of us, but there are. Let them hear us, we’re silent no more. #MeToo (October 15, 2017, 9:21 pm) @LJonasDaughter: #metoo tried to figure out how to explain it with the character restriction. Decided #metoo said enough (October 15, 2017, 8:28 pm) @LieutenantDainty: #MeToo because while I’m not ready to share my story, I can be strong enough to admit that it happened. (October 16, 2017, 7:15 pm) @JennyS38: #MeToo brings so many emotions right now . But one overwhelming emotion is admiration towards the people who have stood up and shared their experiences Brown 2 so that everyone will realize this problem is real and can’t be buried and ignored. (October 16, 2017, 8:08 pm) (Clark-Parsons 9). The initial flood of #MeToo tweets acknowledged the pain and trauma of sexual violence with the simple words “Me Too”.

  • 1 Morton Klein of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and Candace Owens of Turning Point USA Will Be Testifying at a Congr
    Morton Klein of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and Candace Owens of Turning Point USA will be testifying at a congressional hearing on hate crime. Not only does neither individual possess any expertise on the matter, they have also both engaged in bigoted and incendiary rhetoric that disqualifies them from engaging productively on the subJect. Morton Klein: In 2018, Klein compared Arabs to Nazis, and doubled down on his use of “filthy Arab” as a slur he found legitimate. Morton Klein came to the defense of Jeanine Pirro after Fox News condemns her anti-Muslim comments suggesting the HiJab is a sign of disloyalty to the United States: 1 Klein also called for the U.S. to adopt Israel’s discriminatory policies that profile on the basis of faith and background, saying: “we should adopt the same profiling policies as Israel and be more thorough in vetting Muslims.” Morton Klein leveled sexist attack on Harvard-educated actress Natalie Portman, suggesting she was attractive but stupid, over her criticism of BenJamin Netanyahu: 2 Klein regularly attacks more established Jewish organizations for failing to seemingly engage in bigoted attacks. Here, he makes the baseless allegation that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) does not condemn the murder of Jews by Arabs: Klein also attacks the ADL by accusing them of “promoting Black Lives Matter and … the extremist anti-Israel group J Street,” prompting criticism from the Conference of Presidents of MaJor American Jewish Organizations: 3 When Fox News host Jeanine Pirro found herself in hot water a few weeks ago, after suggesting that American Muslims who wear a HiJab (including an American Muslim Congresswoman) could not be loyal to the United States, Morton Klein tweeted his support for Pirro’s comments.
