The insult against women continues as USA Today chose to honor a man as one of their “women of the year.” This time, biological male, state representative Leigh Finke who “transitioned” in 2017 made the short list of so-called heroic women. Finke was only elected last November but has been described as an activist for BLM and LGBTQ causes. The Gateway Pundit reported on her historic win back in November. Alongside Leigh were actual women such as Michelle Obama, and astronaut Colonel Nicole Mann. The intentional destruction and erasure of women is nothing new in this country. In 2015 Caitlyn...

Critics accuse her of trying to exploit the hurricane that devastated the region for political aims. In August, she tweeted, "Donate to the Harvey Hurricane relief fund." The fund's website stated that "your donation is vital to ensuring that we have the resources we need to organize and fight for...

The politically correct Glamour Magazine has reportedly waived the one defining requirement of candidates for its “Woman of the Year” honor—a double X chromosome—in conferring the title for 2015 on crossdresser Bruce Jenner, a move many women are finding insulting. The magazine is expected to formally announce its choice of Jenner as woman of the year, along with actress Reese Witherspoon, on November 3.
