The Christophobic ABC Strikes Again

The Feminist War Against Motherhood

Mar 29, 2017

Children, Mums, Dads and the Gender Benders

One hundred German women sexually assaulted by a thousand migrants and recent refugee arrivals may have finally woken Europe up – if it is not too late already. Cologne was not alone, with many other German and European cities also

Islam, the Hijab, and Clueless Westerners

Jan 1, 2016
