My February birthday fund-raising campaign for this website, Behind the Black, is now over. Despite a relatively weak initial three weeks, the last week was spectacular, making this campaign the second best ever.

 

Thanks to every person who donated or subscribed. It continues to astonish me that people who can read my work for free like it enough to donate money voluntarily. Words cannot express my appreciation for that support, especially in these uncertain times.

 

If you have been a regular reader and a fan of my work and have not yet donated or subscribed, please consider doing so. I take no ads, I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands (most of the time). Thus, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are five ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

British bureaucrats offended by “gingerbread man”, rename him “gingerbread person”

Political correctness gone mad: British bureaucrats, offended by the term “gingerbread man” on school menus, had the menus changed to read “gingerbread person.”

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    APPLES AND ORANGES, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AT ITS MOST RIDICULOUS

    A biological man who is now a transgender woman competes in a woman’s bicycle race and amazingly……………wins!

    (The transgender winner in the picture is standing in the middle on the stage)

    This is a prime example of political correctness and how it is fundamentally flawed and unfair. Political correctness for all of the “equality”, feelings and compassion it is based on will in the end kill everyone. Like I told a Liberal lady today. “If a Liberals mouth is moving and words are coming out of it they are lying”. You can only lie so long before reality catches up to you and serves you up a nasty dose of itself as a reminder and re-instruction. Refuse to listen and in time you will be no more.

    The #2 rider from Europe said: “I can only imagine what she had to go through in her life to be where she is now, how hard it is to fit in,” she added.”

    What this person has had to go through in their life has not one thing to do with fairly competing in a sports event when they were born a man and is now a transgender woman and is competing against women.

    Life as a general rule is not fair, might it be a better idea for transgender people to compete against transgender people of the same transgender? That seems the more fair and respectful to all arrangement to me.
