Links on "X" in article. But, thank you Ms Rowling for your point of view. That this is even a question is absurd on it's face.

Be a patriot, not a 'hateriot'. Happy 4th to patriots out there.

“You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.”

Rowling has got some stones. She is not backing down from the Rainbow Mafia.

Harry Potter is pro-2A, they CCW their wands and use them for self-defense. There’s a couple of scenes where they have lessons in self-defense using the wands at Hogwarts. I’d hardly call that “Faggoty crap”.

I think what is being referred to is Rowling’s friendly view of homosexuality under pinnings for some of her characters. She spoke of this a decade ago but now she sees where it has led.

She is as liberal as they come and she helped create this monster. When it took over, you fought back and the left can’t have that. Now she is hated by them, even though she built them up herself.

Today’s left will not let you deviate one iota from the path or you will be destroyed.

Harry Potter is an outstanding series. I never got into it with my kids years ago, but recently did, and was impressed. Great writer, and I also like that, despite portraying wizards, they all still celebrate Easter and Christmas, and there is a lot of Christian symbolism in the books which increase towards the end.

It’s the communist way - in every one of their playbooks since the late 1800s.

Speaking of Rowling, this was interesting...

...especially given the timing.

Well, better late than never.

Paging the menfolk...

She discovered the truth—Give her that! We on the right believe in redemption—people can change and be forgiven from past beliefs. The Left doesn’t believe this. This is why they will lose in the end.

I think it’s sad and disappointing that so many can’t simply acknowledge someone for being on the right side of an issue.

Do you mean the character or the actress Emma Watson who plays her?

Because Watson was seeп holdiпg a sign at a No Kings protest that said

“No Kiпgs
No Tyraпts
No Sycophaпts
No Trυmp.”
