Or you are a conservative tired of hearing the Left molest the English language in order to push their progressive agenda while hiding their true intentions behind newly created words.<\/p>\n<p>If you fall into the latter camp, the only way to shut down this phenomenon is to reject the Left\u2019s premise on such topics completely while calling to attention what they actually mean when they use phrases that no normal person would ever say in conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, if one uses the Left\u2019s language, conservatives risk being manipulated into discussing politics on a progressive playing field, conceding that Democrats and the like hold the moral high ground on various issues.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Townhall.com\u2019s Storm Paglia recently <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/storm_paglia\/status\/1512114179955736581?s=20&#038;t=cEGE0kZZ5exU45f7ncllSg\">tweeted<\/a>,\u00a0\u201cAh I see the new DC lingo for illegal immigration is \u2018irregularly migrate.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, that same day White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki used that phrase while discussing the government\u2019s choice to provide taxpayer-funded smartphones to illegal immigrants, supposedly so the feds could track them as they move about the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur concern is ensuring that individuals who irregularly migrate to the United States proceed through our process of, you know, of course, being monitored, but also participating in hearings to determine whether or not they will be able to stay,\u201d Psaki <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-house-defends-giving-smartphones-to-illegal-aliens\">told<\/a> Fox News\u2019 Peter Doocy.<\/p>\n<p>Does Psaki get paid by word count when she speaks at the White House press lectern? Psaki took eight words \u2014 \u201cindividuals who irregularly migrate to the United States\u201d to say what could be said in two words, in a variety of ways: \u201cillegal aliens,\u201d \u201cforeign nationals,\u201d \u201cillegal immigrants,\u201d or \u2014 even giving these individuals the benefit of the doubt \u2014 \u201casylum seekers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Irregularly migrate sounds like a flock of birds being forced to change direction because of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/wind-energy-company-fined-8-million-after-turbines-kill-at-least-150-eagles\">a wind farm<\/a>, or perhaps it is a medical term akin to irregular bowel movements.<\/p>\n<p>Psaki, of course, does not get paid by word count nor is she a part-time ornithologist or dietician who simply mixed up her terms. She\u2019s a spokesperson for the Left.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few weeks ago, California Senator Alex Padilla (D) praised President Joe Biden\u2019s then-Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson for avoiding saying illegal alien in court rulings while emphasizing that \u201clanguage matters\u201d during her confirmation hearing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond our often cruel and counterproductive choices when it comes to immigration policy, the language that we use to speak about immigrants can often have dehumanizing effects,\u201d Padilla <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/23\/ketanji-brown-jackson-noncitizens-illegal-aliens-language\/\">said during the hearing<\/a>. \u201cFor example, in the Immigration and Nationality Act, it\u2019s replete with references to \u2018aliens\u2019 and court opinions \u2026 can be found referring to undocumented persons as \u2018illegal aliens.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s be clear, no person is an alien and no human being can be illegal,\u201d Padilla added.<\/p>\n<p>But that simply is not true.

It may be the most brazen attempt by the Left to completely abolish the traditional way of thinking about the difference between the two sexes.<\/p>\n<p>Mothers do a lot more than just give birth, but saying birthing people reduces mothers to a purely utilitarian function. That is because the Left is seeking a gender-neutral world where there is no difference between men and women.<\/p>\n<p>The differences do not matter. The only thing that matters, at least to those who subscribe to such thinking, is what people can provide to the state, such as the ability to birth other humans.<\/p>\n<p>The Left also loves to say that we must tackle \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.feedingamerica.org\/hunger-in-america\/food-insecurity\">food insecurity<\/a>.\u201d At first, you might think it means somebody who is insecure about their cooking skills much like \u201cbody insecurity\u201d means somebody with low self-esteem because of the way they look.<\/p>\n<p>It is actually used to describe poverty or hunger. If a government\u2019s first responsibility is to provide security to the people, doesn\u2019t food insecurity imply that the government must also provide food to the people thereby creating food security?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there is a role for the government to play in ensuring Americans do not starve, especially children, but under the Left\u2019s worldview, solving food insecurity requires the government to divvy up and redistribute wealth and resources to ensure everybody has the same amount of food, much like they ensure everybody is equally protected under the law.<\/p>\n<p>Most Americans want to solve hunger, but it is doubtful they want the government to determine who eats what in the name of \u201cfood security,\u201d unless you\u2019re a leftist who believes in socialism.<\/p>\n<p>These are just several examples of newfangled language created by the Left. There will undoubtedly be additional terms added to the political lexicon.<\/p>\n<p>Next time they are introduced, stop and ask yourself, \u201cWhat are they really trying to say?\u201d After determining that, correct whoever uses the phrase, explain why the original words are better to use, and refuse to have the conversation based on their imposed newspeak.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
