The New NIMH
This will turn out to be relevant. I promise. There is a 1982 movie called “The Secret of NIMH,” which is an animated story for children about quite dramatic and dangerous events in a world most of us pay little attention to. In fact the movie itself has been characterized as one of the greatest and yet most forgotten masterpieces of its film genre. NIMH won a prestigious ‘Saturn’ Award but achieved only modest initial success at the box office, though it became quietly popular with home purchases over the 40+ years since.
Here’s a quickie plot overview, courtesy of Google:
“Mrs. Brisby, a widowed mouse (Elizabeth Hartman), must move her children out of their home in a field before the local farmer starts plowing. Unable to leave because her son is ill, Mrs. Brisby seeks the help of nearby rats, who have heightened intelligence after being the subjects of scientific experiments. She receives an unexpected gift from the elder rat, Nicodemus (Derek Jacobi). Soon Mrs. Brisby is caught in a conflict among the rats, jeopardizing her mission to save her family.”
You can meet Mrs. Brisby yourself in the linked YT clip, along with a blundering, unreconstructed male crow named Jeremy and a truly terrifying cat who seems to be the Dark Lord of the piece.
All of which should make it clear that “The Secret of NIMH” is an entertainment with an allegorical dimension, as many children’s stories are, indeed as many fantasy works involving mice are, including “The Rescuers,” “Stuart Little,” “Ratatouille,” “Flushed Away,” and most daringly “Maus.” Children (and even many of us adults) can relate to their stories because, like children, mice can feel themselves underfoot and lacking in station; the big wide world above their heads is a danger, but one they can learn to navigate through and survive. Which we know because they are visibly clever at avoiding traps and acquiring what they need. Even little children can see this pluckiness in them.
Children can also perceive the nature of the danger. Grownups regard mice as pests or (if you’re a teenage girl) creepy and scary, even worth screaming about. Cats and snakes and other animals regard them as prey and hunt them relentlessly. Easy to see the drama in the swashbuckling mouse trick of staying alive. (Pun intended.)
In allegories created for children, the key to understanding the intent is discovering what plot elements are unique in a tale that is a classic fable of underdogs overcoming long odds. In this unexpectedly prescient movie, the unique element is NIMH, initials which stand for the National Institute of Mental Health. The rat population in the rural community where Mrs. Brisby is trying to save her family is the result of a genetic experiment designed by the government to effect radical increases in the intellligence of the species. Having been subjected to cruel experiments testing their artificially enhanced IQs, the mutant rats escape and become a powerful force able to defend themselves — and the bravest mice — from the enemy farmer and his predatory Cat. All the heroics flow from this premise. And the greatest hero of the story is not a mutant at all, but a mother mouse made incredibly brave by the need to save her vulnerable son.
If you know me at all, you know that I am going somewhere with this. I have discovered that we 21st Century Americans have our very own “NIMH,” which has remained mostly a secret for far too long and must now start receiving the attention it deserves.
The new NIMH? Not Inside the Matriarchal Hive (i.e., this Hive). There is a population of women who have not surrendered to the niche victim identity foisted on Americans by the Progressive woke cancel culture. Instead, they have spent years fighting back vigorously against the corruptions that are destroying the United States. They do not belong to any one group or organization but have all made extraordinary contributions in the battles on multiple fronts to restore and preserve liberties and values which have been direly threatened in this young century. In most cases, their bravery, perseverance, and insight have exceeded that of most men. This post is designed to name and honor such women. It is not complete by any means. I intend to return with updates as I remember more heroes I have overlooked or forgotten.
THE NEW NIMH
The alphabetized list contains women from multiple walks of life, ages, educational backgrounds, religious affiliations, and professions. Race and sexual orientation are not called out, though they vary as does the American population as a whole. Collectively, they crush the whole idea of identity as a function of demographic check boxes. What the list does not include is elected officials. For each I have provided (hopefully) a photo, a summary quote from Wiki or other bio source, and a link to some illustrative work or media appearance. Where possible, I have also included brief takes of my own on them and/or their achievements. Following up with your own research is your prerogative and privilege.

Clarice Feldman
From American Thinker: <<AT readers already know about the lively wit and insightful analysis brought to this site by Clarice Feldman, whose Sunday column "Clarice's Pieces" is a smash hit. But word is getting around. On Pajamas Media's Tatler Blog, Belladonna Rogers pens a tribute to Clarice and Clarice's Pieces, entitled, "A Woman and a Blog to Watch: the New Washington Monument, Clarice Feldman." An excerpt:
<Sunday mornings are now enlivened by a new and lustrous successor to [the New York Times] The Week in Review. It comes in the form of a far sweeter treat, Clarice's Pieces, which appears on The American Thinker. PJM contributor Clarice Feldman's mega-brain compresses each depressing, lie-filled, irritating past week's news into a succinct, trenchant analysis that always includes delicious zingers to start off the week. Her wit is wry and her writing is crisp. She's the thinking person's Sunday Morning Live.
Once a top-notch lawyer in the pre-Eric Holder Department of Justice, where she was a powerful intellectual force in the Office of Special Investigations, there's nothing rotten that escapes her eagle eye or sharp commentary. Heranalysis of the lack of credible evidence in the vicious, politically-motivated prosecution of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby in 2006 in The Weekly Standard remains the definitive statement on that tragic chapter in American legal history.
A voracious reader of countless political and legal-analysis blogs, Clarice Feldman distills them for her Sunday pieces, as well as for readers of The Tatler. If the names of all the websites she devours were compiled in a vertical collection, they would tower over any sky-scraping edifice you can think of: The Washington Monument, Chicago's Sears Tower, Boston's Hancock Tower and San Francisco's Transamerica Tower.> >>

Megyn Kelly
I’ve given her a hard time in the past, but she’s learned a few things since
2016, which makes her native aggression a force for good instead of ungood.
From WIKI: << Megyn Marie Kelly (/ˈmeɪɡən/; born November 18, 1970)[3] is an American journalist, attorney, political commentator, and media personality. She currently hosts The Megyn Kelly Show, a talk show and podcast that airs daily on Sirius XM’s Triumph channel and has over 3.2 million subscribers on YouTube.[7]Kelly previously worked at Fox News from 2004 to 2017, where she hosted programs including America Live and The Kelly File, and at NBC News from2017 to 2018, where she anchored Megyn Kelly Today.

She left NBC in January 2019 and later transitioned to independent media with her podcast and online platforms.>>
In Wiki’s eyes, of course, Kelly’s life ended when she severed ties with NBC. According to her, it was the opposite, a fresh start as her own person. Her podcast now has millions of listeners, and she has become a ferocious champion of MAGA and Trump. She doesn’t much description.

SAMPLE PODCAST EPISODE:
Lara Logan
Lara Logan (born 29 March 1971] is a South African television and radio journalist and war correspondent. Logan's career began in South Africa with various news organizations in the 1990s. Her profile rose due to reporting around the American invasion of Afghanistan in 2001…
CBS News offered her a full-fledged correspondent position in 2002. She spent much of the next four years reporting from the battlefield, including war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, often embedded with the United States Armed Forces. But she also interviewed famous figures and explorers such as Robert Ballard, discoverer of the wreck of the RMS Titanic. Many of her reports were for 60 Minutes II. She was also a regular contributor to the CBS Evening News, The Early Show and Face the Nation. In February 2006, CBS News named Logan their chief foreign affairs correspondent.
Logan left CBS News in August 2018. The following year, she joined the Sinclair Broadcast Group on a temporary basis, as a correspondent reporting on the United States–Mexico border.
In October 2022, Logan was banned from right-wing television network Newsmax for what the network described as "reprehensible statements" during an interview where she said that "the open [United States-Mexico] border is Satan’s way of taking control of the world through all of these people who are his stooges and his servants ... You know, the ones who want us eating insects, cockroaches and that while they dine on the blood of children?">>
Lara Logan is a very brave woman.
Harriet Lublin
From FB: <<Many conservatives are hoping that SCOTUS will step in and stop this "unconstitutional" usurpation. What constitution? I replied. It is not even a speed bump in our modern body politic. Conservatives, for the most part, just don't get it. They still believe we can defeat the Left's progressive political machine through using the law. This kind of naive thinking is one of the big reasons why conservatives get their collective arses kicked by the far superior, savvy progressive machine. As my Reagan Administration friend, Mark Kreslins said, "If you can't tip your hat at evil, and appreciate just how clever evil is and how successful they have been at changing our culture, you really should sit in the stands and pray; you’re not ready for the fight before us. I didn't say endorse or celebrate evil, so don't jump all over me. But you need to have the ability to discern it, and the resources to combat it. Because if you don't, you're going to get out-flanked every time."
I added the boldface to highlight the real naïve thinking on display here. Even now, progressives can’t win by just showing up. What Constitution? The one no one will be able to kick out of the driver’s seat the first time a virtual Super State tries to cast electoral votes that disenfranchise voters in constitutionally recognized individual states. There’s no need for thickets of legal mumbo jumbo here, though they will arise like brambles around this topic, of course. The court’s long loyalty to precedent will carry the day in the end, however the mumbo jumbo is tricked out. A U.S. Supreme Court with a conservative majority simply will not allow an election to be stolen in this way. They hold all the cards. They determine who has standing to sue. They are the last word on matters of U. S. law, and no amount of “far superior savvy” by the Left’s progressive machine can defeat them. What they rule in such a case becomes the fact of that case. Period. But by all means amuse yourselves by running around shrieking and chewing the curtains. As for the rest of you, go back to whatever it is you were doing before.>>

Heather Mac Donald grew up in Los Angeles, California. Her original family name was MacDonald; she later added the space to her surname, but recalled that it was a "bad idea".
In 1978, she graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, in English. After receiving a Mellon Fellowship from Yale, she attended Clare College, Cambridge, earning an M.A. in English. While at Cambridge she also studied in Italy through a Cambridge study grant. In 1985, she graduated with a Juris Doctor degree from Stanford Law School.>>
So, yeah, she’s CHYOS. But she’s also old, which is a good thing when it comes to education. A phalanx of teachers taught her to think, which is the whole point. You won’t find many who do it better than Heather Mac.

Sage Steele
From WIKI: <<Sage Marie Steele (born November 28, 1972) is an American television anchor who is the former co-host of the 12 noon (ET) SportsCenter on ESPN. She also hosted SportsCenter on the Road from various sporting events such as the Super Bowl and The Masters, and NBA Countdownon ESPN and ABC for four seasons, ending in 2017. For five years prior to the NBA assignment, Steele was a full-time host of SportsCenter, ESPN's flagship show, and had previously contributed to ESPN First Take, Mike & Mike in the Morning, and SportsNation. Steele hosted SportsCenter's daytime coverage of the NBA Finals in 2012 and 2013, and covered every NBA Finals from 2012 to 2020.
Steele is the daughter of Gary and Mona (O'Neil) Steele. Her father is African-American and her mother is of Irish-Italian descent. Gary Steele became the first black varsity football player at West Point during the mid-1960s.[1]He was inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2013 for his standout career on the Black Knights football and track & field teams. He retired from the army as a colonel after a career of 23 years…>>
Steele had a highly successful career as a television sports host for ESPN, but then battled the network over a point of principle:
From WIKI: <<On October 5, 2021, Steele was suspended with pay by ESPN for remarks she made on Jay Cutler's September 29 podcast about COVID-19 vaccine mandates, women who dress in a way she feels is provocative, and Barack Obama calling himself black even though he, like Steele, has a white mother. In conjunction with her suspension, Steele issued an apology: "I know my recent comments created controversy for the company, and I apologize. We are in the midst of an extremely challenging time that impacts all of us, and it's more critical than ever that we communicate constructively and thoughtfully."
Steele filed a lawsuit against ESPN in April 2022, alleging that the network had retaliated against her in the months following the suspension. Steele's suit accused ESPN of taking opportunities away from her and steadily degrading her career, alleging that her free speech rights were being curtailed through ESPN's retaliation against her for comments she had made as a private citizen. The parties settled the lawsuit in August 2023, at which point Steele left the network.
In March 2024, she was named the first podcast host on Bill Maher's Club Random Studios podcast network. Maher said, "I am looking for people who are not talking-point people. I'm looking for people who don't, before they speak, say, 'What's the right answer here?'"
In April 2024, Steele replaced Candace Owens in the animated series Mr. Birchum after Owens' departure from The Daily Wire, following "clashes with co-founder Ben Shapiro over the Israel–Hamas war".>>

Naomi Wolf
From WIKI: <<Naomi Rebekah Wolf was born in 1962 in San Francisco, California, to a Jewish family. Her mother is Deborah Goleman Wolf, an anthropologist and the author of The Lesbian Community. Her father was Leonard Wolf, a Romanian-born scholar of gothic horror novels, faculty member at San Francisco State University, and Yiddish translator. Leonard Wolf died from Parkinson's disease on March 20, 2019. Wolf has a brother, Aaron, and a half-brother, Julius, from her father's earlier relationship; it remained a secret until Wolf was in her 30s.
Wolf attended Lowell High School and debated in regional speech tournaments as a member of the Lowell Forensic Society. She attended Yale University, receiving her Bachelor of Arts in English literature in 1984. From 1985 to 1987, she was a Rhodes Scholar at New College, Oxford. Wolf's initial period at Oxford University was difficult, as she experienced "raw sexism, overt snobbery and casual antisemitism". Her writing became so personal and subjective that her tutor advised against submitting her doctoral thesis. Wolf told interviewer Rachel Cooke, writing for The Observer, in 2019: "My subject didn't exist. I wanted to write feminist theory, and I kept being told by the dons there was no such thing." Her writing at this time formed the basis of her first book, The Beauty Myth.>>
How does one get from that set of origins to MAGA and the bête-noir of the Deep State medical/technocrat tyranny that locked up millions of Americans in 2020/21? A big part of the answer lies in the part of the Wiki entry we’re not showing you here, the Overview, in which she is derided as a right wing dupe and conspiracy theorist for opposing vaccine mandates and questioning the safety of the vaccines themselves. It’s nonsense. Thanks to a lot of good, hard work on her part, it is now known that the conspiracy theories about COVID, the cackles, and the lockdowns were conspiracies in fact, not fantasy. People have died, are dying, and will continue to die from the actions of the entire global medico-government complex.
She made money as a fashion consultant for vain Democrat politicians. She got to see them up close. She began to suspect they had a penchant for lying about very big things. Now she’s a muckraker, a hero, and a target all at the same time. She’s also a frequent guest in Bannon’s War Room.
This is pretty heavy duty. So is she:

She later appeared on MTV Unplugged as a back-up singer for Jay-Z in 2001, and was featured in a Coca-Cola advert as part of the brand's "Nu Soul" campaign. She has released two solo albums to date: Denials Delusions and Decisions in 2002, and Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul in 2005.[3] Wright also recorded an album titled ...And Your Point Is? which was due for release in 2003 on MCA Records (who also distributed her debut), before the label folded. Many of the tracks recorded for that album later appeared on Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul, which debuted at number 62 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in July 2005.>>
Great career, right? Wiki doesn’t mention any controversies regarding sexual molestations and other vile activities. Wiki doesn’t want to hear it. But Jaguar has heard all about it and she’s doing something about it:
There’s a lot of money and power arrayed against the Jaguars who have the courage to fight for the real victims. She and we must have faith, and we must trust one another to be there when needed.
We’ve seen a variety of heroes here. They come everywhere and reflect multiple ethnicities, religions, and propensities. What they have in common is courage and conviction.
Then there are the Many who are not famous…
