The year 2023 was a dark year geopolitically, plagued by an increase in wars, depravity, depression, border invasions, and racial-religious hatred. Democratic misleaders howled about safeguarding democracy while turning the Constitution on its head, and law enforcement into their private Stasi against ideological opponents, such as an ex-president, his supporters, and Christian conservatives. Yet amidst this dystopian utopia, the counterculture gained strength, led by wise warriors able to be heard and read despite calls for their cancellation, thanks to one of them. Below I cite him plus four more, and five big losers they damaged.
Heroes
Elon Musk. The government-industrial-media matrix hit the Modern American Prometheus with everything they had this year. It didn’t matter to them that he almost single-handedly advanced the U.S. space program and clean energy transportation, plus protected Ukrainian communications during the Russian onslaught. His one crime superseded all the good. He enabled free speech on X, the leftist organ formerly known as Twitter. The DOJ sued Musk, and woke corporations tried to cancel him. His response to them: “Go f__k yourself.”
Laurence Fox. Even before the full manifestation of Britain’s poli-cultural collapse, with rainbow-adorned squad cars and police rousting silently praying folk as thousands of Muslim immigrants assaulted London cops while condemning Israel, one stentorian voice sounded the alarm. That of Laurence Fox, who sacrificed his popular screen career (Inspector Lewis) to found the Reclaim Party and preserve time-honored British traditions. Fired from a TV hosting job and arrested the same day on a trivial charge, he remains publicly defiant and right.
Although an insignificant, ignorant starlet, she inadvertently exposed the mind rot that has blighted the company, and the rest of Hollywoke.
Jeremy Boreing. The multi-talented CEO of conservative powerhouse The Daily Wire has been picking up free money discarded by what he calls “woke companies that hate you.” In 2022, he launched a profitable shaving-supplies company, Jeremy’s Razors, after Harry’s Razors pulled their advertising to ideological virtue signal. Last year, Boreing hit woke culture where it hurt as the producer, director, and star of the most anti-transactivist movie ever made, Lady Ballers.
Michael Cassidy. When the Iowa Statehouse demonically and insanely allowed a satanic monument to stand in the seat of government at Christmastime, one man exorcized it by beheading the statue beyond repair. Navy veteran Michael Cassidy took righteous action against a powerful enemy who had cowed local officials into sanctioning evil. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary, the devil … walketh about …”, Cassidy tweeted, citing 1 Peter 5:8.
Javier Milei. In the 18 days since the new President of Argentina took power, he has eliminated 12 out of 21 cabinet positions, fired 5,000 government employees, ended 380-thousand government regulations, banned woke language from the military, legalized homeschooling, affirmed the right to self-defense, unleashed the Argentinian oil industry, and much more. He may be the one Latin American the Biden regime would hate to see crossing the border.
Zeroes
Pope Francis. Javier Milei’s countryman — whom the Argentinian president mocked — was a bigger disaster last year. He began the year by restricting the Latin Mass celebrated by purist Catholics. “I saw that the good pastoral measures that were put in place … were used in an ideological way, to go backward,” Francis said, as if that were a bad thing given the fall of liberalized churches. The Pope ended the year with a staggeringly ambiguous declaration which gay activists and clergy interpret as permission to bless same-sex couples. What an infamia.
Joe Biden. “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing,” Winston Churchill said. “After they have exhausted all the other possibilities.” By this measure, Americans have finally realized what a leftist, inept, divisive, petty, mindless zombie President Biden is. And all the king’s guard (the media, spokeswoman, and Democrats) can no longer hide it, as his crashing poll numbers reflect. Just one of his countless lowlights last year was a Chinese spy balloon tranquilly crisscrossing the country and recording sensitive data as government goons tried to convince the American people there was nothing to see up there.
Rachel Zegler. If you had to put one face to the collapse of the once esteemed and titanic Walt Disney Company, it would be Rachel Zegler’s. Although an insignificant, ignorant starlet, she inadvertently exposed the mind rot that has blighted the company, and the rest of Hollywoke. Ironically yet appropriately, she did this by trashing the movie that established the Disney empire in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which millions of girls still love, and she intended to politically correct. But Zegler just voiced the attitude of the feminists and woke fools who cannot create art, only disfigure it.
Nikki Haley. In all fairness to Ambassador Haley, she didn’t earn her zero status by herself. Much of it was heaped on her by the vampiric Republican establishment she represents. People like New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu who endorsed her, and the semi-liberal media trying to make her a thing. But she’s not happening. Her only chance for White House residency is the Vice President’s Office in the West Wing under Trump, much to his discredit. Hopefully her RINO slip-ups — such as forbidding social-media anonymity — won’t get her any closer to it.
Claudine Gay. One thing’s for sure after the past month this diversity-hire president of Harvard has had. Next time she’s asked if calling for the extermination of Jews violates university rules, she’ll answer, “Being a Jew is no problem here,” to plagiarize from Golda Meir.
