‘The Last Of Us’ Finale Finally Got Love And Masculinity Right

Published

on

Spoilers.

For everyone who has faithfully tuned in to the post-apocalyptic video game turned television series “The Last of Us” through its first season, the last two months have been a wild and bumpy ride.

That’s true in every sense. Thematically, viewers have endured everything from a brotherly reunion to a cannibalistic cult, the treacherous birth of a beautiful baby girl to the untimely death of a deaf boy and his tormented brother. The contrasts have been poignant. 

Morally, it’s been no less turbulent. Just three episodes in, a near-feature-length vignette introduced us to two characters, Bill and Frank, who reject the natural order not only in their sexual relationship but also in their responsibilities as men. In committing suicide together, they send the message that selfishness is “incredibly romantic,” love is coercive, and healthy masculinity can involve renouncing the responsibility to defend the vulnerable within one’s care. 

If episode three was a dark valley, however, the finale offered an unexpected beacon of light.

Joel and Ellie — now bonded into a compelling father-daughter-like relationship by mutual self-sacrifice, shared experiences, and equal but opposite trauma — finally make it to their destination: the hospital where the Fireflies and their resistance leader Marlene have planned to create a cure for the deadly Cordyceps fungus using Ellie’s unique immunity.

It isn’t the rosiest of roads to get to the hospital. As they exchange puns while wandering through an old Army emergency camp, the traveling duo gets knocked out by armed Fireflies.

Will Secret Service Agents Protect Trump With ‘Queer Joy And Resilience?’

Published

on

The U.S. Secret Service has acted with such breath-taking incompetence that former President Donald Trump, the GOP’s presidential candidate, narrowly escaped being murdered by at least two would-be assassins. 

What is this criminally negligent agency going to do next? 

It’s going to Disney World! 

That’s right. USSS staff are off to Orlando, Florida, next week for a taxpayer-funded, four-day summit on the LGBTQ agenda in the land of Mickey, Pluto, and Goofy. 

As RealClearPolitics’ National Political Correspondent Susan Crabtree first reported earlier this month, the Secret Service’s Office of Equity Diversity and Inclusion was seeking “nominees to participate in “an all-expense paid trip” to an LGBTQ+ “Out and Equal” Workplace Summit at Disney World Oct 7-10. All branches of the USSS — Special Agent, Uniformed Division, Technical Law Enforcement and Administrative, Professional and Technical — were encouraged to apply, according to an agency email obtained by Crabtree.

Outcry, particularly from within the agency, has Secret Service brass changing course, however, with officials suddenly limiting representation at the summit to non-law enforcement employees, Fox News Digital reported late last week.

More Than 200 Retired Admirals And Generals Endorse Trump

Published

on

With the United States facing arguably the “most important election since our Nation was founded,” more than 200 retired generals and admirals are endorsing former President Donald Trump for president.

In a letter published Monday morning, Flag Officers 4 America issues a stinging indictment of the failed policies of President Joe Biden and his cackling vice president, Kamala Harris, the Democrats replacement standard bearer following the party’s silent coup in July. The endorsement is also a counter shot at the recent letter from Trump-hating former national security officials endorsing Harris. 

Signed by highly respected former high-ranking members of the military who understand as well as anyone the critical necessity of strong leadership, the Flag Officers 4 America letter is sure to draw the fire of the Democratic Party and the accomplice media, as an epistle from the group excoriating the leftists in power did three years ago.

“The undersigned retired Generals and Admirals are endorsing Donald J. Trump for president in 2024 because he is a proven leader who will secure our border, repulse our adversaries, revitalize our economy and keep America safe and strong,” the document opens. 

The retired admirals and generals argue America is at a stark crossroads, with the nearly 250-year-old republic facing an existential choice between standing with the constitution and “ its underlying traditional values which have made America great” or continuing down the path to “the deadly abyss of socialism and authoritarian cultural marxism.” 

“Today our Nation has never been more divided as

Along With America, Alex Clark Is Waking Up To The Lies Of ‘Big Food’

Published

on

When I was 12 years old my parents decided to try a gluten-free diet. Within weeks, my dad’s indigestion disappeared, both parents lost weight, and they were free from muscle pain. Although they were in their mid-30s, they felt better than they had in years.

They were astonished but also confused. Why had no one suggested this to them before? Why was our food made with such harmful ingredients?

My parents had always been relatively healthy, but from that point on, our family embarked on a journey into health and wellness. We stopped eating fast food, began researching vitamins and supplements, and started uncovering the lies that government was, quite literally, feeding us.

Alex Clark’s discussion at a Senate panel on chronic illness on September 23 validated everything I had grown up learning. I am so grateful for that panel’s efforts to shine a spotlight on what my family and many others have practiced for years.

Alex Clark is a TPUSA contributor, strong MAGA supporter, and host of the new Culture Apothecary podcast. In an interview with Evie Magazine, she shares the reasoning for her recent re-brand: Covid-19 plus a personal medical diagnosis.

As with many Americans, the misinformation about Covid-19 opened her eyes to the deep problems with food and medicine in our society. Also, in early 2024 she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an increasingly common autoimmune condition affecting the thyroid and hormones. Due to this shocking diagnosis, she began to investigate ways to heal her body naturally.
