One of the more interesting developments in recent years is how some leftists of varying degrees have felt compelled to abandon or even turn against their comrades who are pushing the limits of their ideology to extreme ends.
A recent example of that is renowned atheist Richard Dawkins resigning from the board of the Freedom from Religion Foundation after that organization rejected biology and science to embrace a pro-transgender position, Fox News reported.
Dawkins and two other board members resigned in protest after the FFRF took down a scientific fact-based rebuttal article authored by one of them in response to a psychology and emotion-based pro-trans piece published by an FFRF fellow that was promoted by the anti-religion organization.
Facts vs. feelings
According to The Telegraph, the controversy began in November when “non-binary” FFRF fellow Kat Grant published on the group’s website a pro-transgender article titled “What is a Woman?,” which asserted things like “any attempt to define womanhood on biological terms is inadequate” as well as that “a woman is whoever she says she is.”
In response, FFRF Honorary Board member Prof. Jerry Coyne published on the same website a rebuttal piece titled “Biology is not Bigotry,” in which he used science and basic biological facts to refute the arguments made by Grant. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
