Emilia Clarke explains the horrifying truth behind Game of Thrones nude scenes and on-screen rape
By Jonathon Van Maren The pornographic and violent show Game of Thrones is finally over, and thus we no longer have to watch many prominent conservative commentators thunder about Judeo-Christian morality while also plugging a show that featured 82 nude scenes in the first 67 (out of a total of 73) episodes. The HBO fantasy show was,…
Satanists have entered the culture wars–and they’re fighting for the LGBT movement and the abortion industry
By Jonathon Van Maren One of the most grotesque videos I have ever seen is currently making the rounds on social media, and it is so brutal that I shivered when I saw it. It shows a New York drag queen named Blair Black sitting at a bar, visibly pregnant. To the tune of Ke$ha’s…
