Batshit Crazy America

“Look at what all these white patriarchs built. Without pay. In their spare time. Anonymously” — Jordan Peterson on “X”

     Before the saints come marching in, the human archetypes strut down the avenue in their revealing regalia. Do you know why the archetypal batshit crazy women of the Democratic Party adore “Joe Biden?” I’ll tell you: because he represents perfectly and exactly the “patriarchy” they revile in his floridly comic senescence. “Joe Biden” is the patriarchy disabled, feeble, feckless, impotent, and reduced to inanity. He would be pitiful if the patriarchy itself were not so contemptible. This is exactly how the batshit crazy women want it to look.

     Do you wonder why “progressive” (i.e. batshit crazy) elite class women seem so unperturbed about the conspicuous number of rapes committed by “newcomers,” as they style illegal border-jumpers these days, who are by an overwhelming percentage “military-age men”? Because, having functionally transformed the ranks of American men into eunuchs, they relish the arrival of so many wild and lustful fellows on the scene, as long as — post the imagined bodice-ripping exploits — they can be dominated and domesticated and turned into so many swimming pool cleaners and busboys to be ordered around.

     Of course, much of that archetypal psychodrama is only played out in the batshit crazy mind of batshit crazy women; for the sake of decorum it is never acted-out. The lurid, shameful fantasies are instead displaced onto Donald Trump, the archetypal “Big Daddy” who so insolently evaded the castration shears of Hillary Clinton — with the help of Russian arch-rapist “Putin” — and keeps on coming at the batshit-crazy women like Jason Voorhees, the psycho-killer in the Friday the 13th horror series (Qu’est-ce que c’est, ladies?)

    Proof of Mr. Trump’s rapey-ness has been finally and formally declared in the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial. It’s certified, you see, though the trial itself was a joke of performative pretense. All you really need is a cast of characters, including the judge, Lewis Kaplan, who are sufficiently deranged and degenerate to carry out the performance.

    New York State Attorney General Letitia James was up next to attempt the financial castration of Mr. Trump with an artfully concocted civil case that magically transformed a normal real estate transaction into a victimless fraud (say, what?), prompting the Rumpelstiltskin-like Judge Arthur Engoron to declare an unprecedented cash penalty of $354-million, designed to enable the confiscation and forced sale of Mr. Trump’s buildings.

     That hasn’t quite worked yet, and may never work, given how appeals courts up to SCOTUS might view the malicious prosecution based on Ms. James’s repeated campaign promise to. . . pin something on Trump. Batshit crazy “progressives” have managed to not notice how inconsistent with American legal precedent this case was — because they held all the levers of power in New York State: governorship, legislature, and AG’s office, and their power to do whatever they liked was all that mattered.

     For the moment Judge Juan Merchan presides over Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s fake case of 34 clerical misdemeanors (past the statute of limitations on them), repurposed as felonies committed for the intention of breaking some federal election law (unspecified). Last time I checked, county courts have no jurisdiction over federal law, most particularly unspecified federal law, which is to say no law at all. The question nobody has asked or answered is: what is the flaw in our system of jurisprudence that allows such an insane and preposterous case to play out so harmfully? I can only suppose that this is what happens when ethics and moral codes are brutally excised from the larger culture that law is but one part of.

    It is the way of Homo sapiens that moral codes derive generally from the supervision of fathers in the upbringing of human young and, later on, as children develop into adults, these codes are archetypally re-enacted and enforced by men in the greater social matrix. Why? Because it requires a strong sense of boundaries. Boundaries are the essence of the “patriarchy.” Remove men from the scene, or castrate them politically, and you are sure to end up with a problem knowing right from wrong. We’re apparently subject now to the misrule of women with boundary problems who, for one reason or another, rebelled against Daddy and never got over it. It’s a peculiar irony — so far unexplicated by the hierophants of social theory — that the more affluent and successful Daddy was, the more he was hated for it by his female offspring.

      The result of all that is the Democratic Party of our time as run by the batshit crazy women, fearful of sex and its consequence (babies), paradoxically subject to biological promptings and unable to find suitable mates among the men they’ve turned into eunuchs of one sort or another; resentful of the dull managerial jobs that have replaced the anathematized “jobs” of motherhood; filled with rage and revenge fantasies which, because of their boundary problems, have now extended to willing the destruction of our country. It’s an uninviting view of what’s happened to us, but there it is, like so much meat on the table.

    Exactly. Moral relativism is the pliable belief system that allows the moving of boundaries to suit one’s agenda. There is no hard and fast right and wrong. It’s relative. For this reason one cannot “discriminate” against or commit “hate crimes” against Christians, makes, whites. They are the majority. And when they become the minority, why, then we’ll have new rules!

    • crudgemudgeon April 19, 2024 at 9:18 am #

      Males, not makes.

      • abbybwood April 19, 2024 at 2:08 pm #

        “Progressivism” is a CULT.

        I saw a whistleblower from a sex change clinic interviewed yesterday and she said hysterical girls are calling in tears saying, “I want my breasts back!”

        “Sorry honey. We donated them to a boy who thinks he’s a girl.”

        And this CULT supports major wars too. Even the end of all life on Earth!

        How to snap them out of their psychosis and get them to step away from the “Progressive Koolaid” they continue to sip (mixed with their Hillary Clinton Chardonnay)?

          When the emerging hyperinflationary depression gets going full steam (give it about 6 months max), issues of access to food and energy, and the growing struggle of daily living, will completely over-ride the concerns about all the bat shit (i.e. gender issues, DEI BS, etc). I predict that most of the bat shit crazy women, and men who think they are women, will either 1) commit suicide or get killed by messing with the wrong person, or 2) forget about their delusions around, and obsessions with, bat shit and get to work finding/growing food, and making ends meet. Think about the roaring 20’s and what happened thereafter, only this time the economic collapse will be exponentially worse, for obvious reasons.

            When supply chains start to get rickety, the trans folks aren’t going to get their hormones, so the pretend women are going to get their beards back, but not their bits that they’ve given up.

            Although most of the autogynephile men pretending to be women never gave up their bits in the first place. Lots of them get fake boobs but keep the family jewels. The higher the yuk factor, the happier they are.

    • Uncle.Al April 19, 2024 at 10:34 am #

      A human mommy will enthusiastically sacrifice her entire family to benefit the most recent runt of the litter. This is why somebody must be the Daddy- Mom must embrace reality and lose the runt.

      America is become a nation of damaged bizarre lashing runts desperately suckling the enthusiastic Federal teat. Trump is the outraged Daddy determined to save the family. Mom wants a divorce and 18 years of unlimited child support.

      • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 10:59 am #

        I have never personally witnessed nor have I even heard of this “sacrificing for the runt” business.

        I have also never heard of anyone getting unlimited child support.

        • Jarek April 19, 2024 at 12:21 pm #

          DeSantis (the Saint) got rid of unlimited or unto death alimony. A lot of women didn’t like it. They are so entitled!

          • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 12:55 pm #

            You know something, Jarek?

            Alimony until death was pretty much a relic, so is “spousal support”, you pretty much only see that among your wealthy celebrity types.

            New York State had and maybe still has something called a Displaced Homemaker program.

            It seems that the trad wife staying at home cooking and seing and raising the kids didn’t always work out in real life like it did on TV, and growing up I knew of many women who would get married, have a bunch of kids, and dad would just disappear, or sometimes he would be drinking and gambling and womanizing so much that the woman would seek a divorce.

            Sometimes the man would tire of the frumpy haufrau with the ruined figure and decide to turn her in for a newer model.

            This is where the alimony for life comes in. At the time you had to have grounds for a divorce. So, being as the woman had no other means of support if the man decided to dump her, she was awarded alimony until such time as she might find another man to support her.

            As employment opportunities for women opened up, and more and more women were working even after having children, alimony became less and less of an issue.

            Some older women were caught in a bind. They made do with child support while the kids were still at home, but once the kids were 18, they were faced with having to go out and get a job without skills and at an advanced age.

            One of those things that is nobody’s fault, but is the underside of that “traditional” role that everyone fantasizes about and reveres.

          • Jarek April 19, 2024 at 1:54 pm #

            So you agree with me that it’s wrong, now at least?

          • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 3:34 pm #

            I don’t agree that alimony is wrong. I agree that for the most part, it is antiquated.

            I don’t see how someone who claims to want to see women back in what they see as traditional roles, can think alimony is wrong.

          • Jarek April 20, 2024 at 1:09 pm #

            Bending over backwards not to agree with me at all – a classic feminine trait.

        • Anthea April 19, 2024 at 11:30 pm #

          Uncle.Al’s comment is bizarre. Like Beryl of Oyl, I am unfamiliar with any instances of a mother sacrificing her family for a “runt.” I am actually uncertain what Uncle.Al means by a “runt,” or what scenario he envisions.

          Is he suggesting that we go back to decreeing death by exposure to infants who appear to be weak? Is he saying that preemies should be tossed in the trash can at birth, because they might require some extra care? Is he saying that a child who proves to be asthmatic should be abandoned at the side of the road?

          It is rather odd, too, that he apparently believes that a mother’s care in such a case is reprehensible.

          He’s essentially proposing murdering inconvenient children, a position that is facially contemptible.

          • Grace April 21, 2024 at 10:10 pm #

            I bet he also believes the lies about “liberals” *aborting* babies after birth. But then, lots of people believe lots of things that simply aren’t true. It’s not their fault they’re so stupid.

  2. NickelthroweR April 19, 2024 at 9:20 am #

    Greetings,

    Traditions are the solution to long-forgotten problems. Given that there is nothing new under the Sun, there must be a reason why women were not allowed to choose their own husbands or have political power. It would appear to me that men ran the greater society and women ran the home.

    We have a lot of data and it would appear that women have never been more miserable than they are now. They were much happier 120 years ago and they should be miserable. Why? They were tricked by the patriarchy into becoming Boss Babes – women that would give it up to anyone with no strings attached and that would go out and work 60 hours a week to see 40% of their earning snatched by Uncle Sam. Tricked into becoming nothing but objects so that lazy men (now only 67% participation rate in the workforce) could sit around and smoke weed and play video games all day long.

    Keep being fierce and brave women – lots of layabouts depend on you.

    • liber8tor April 19, 2024 at 10:08 am #

      Well said Nickel… I noticed the same thing back in the 60’s, when the women’s rights movement convinced the ladies to abandon the home.

      They split the men’s salary in half and collected taxes on both workers.

      The only problem, the kids became latchkey, with the TV and the Schools becoming the babysitter.

      • rainmaker April 19, 2024 at 10:21 am #

        If you, as a woman, think that it is possible to work a full time job, and raise children at the same time, you are mistaken. Your children will be raised and educated and socialized by Hillary Clinton’s village, or as my mom likes to say; by the neighbors and the flies.

        • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 11:16 am #

          A woman can be a great mother. A woman can be a great career climber. But she can’t be both at the same time. One will succeed, the other will fail.

          Failure as a mother means a life time of regret.

          • Lawfish April 19, 2024 at 12:30 pm #

            Agreed, Cankerpuss.

            My wife and I made a conscious decision for her to stay home with our kids full-time until they were in school, so about 7 years on a single income. Then when they went to school, she went to work teaching at that same school. We would be a lot wealthier if we hadn’t done that, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

          • Ron Anselmo April 19, 2024 at 12:38 pm #

            @ Lawfish

            You’re far wealthier than you realize, wealthier than had you taken the other path, trust me. The value you’ve placed on your children has made them wealthy as well.

            You’re everything a father should be, and you and your wife, everything parents should be – sacrificing for your children’s benefit. Good job, too bad there aren’t more like you all out there.

          • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 12:56 pm #

            Lawfish, I did the same thing. My wife and I agreed that she should be home with the children. We didn’t want our child raised in a day care by uncaring paid professionals. It was a sacrifice. We had to live in the same starter home while all of our friends moved into bigger homes after a few years. I drove the same 1993 Toyota Pick Up truck for 26 years before it finally died. We didn’t go on cruises or fancy vacations but took simple day trips to local National Parks. We made it work but it was a struggle at times.

            I wouldn’t change it for the world. All of my children have turned into good, decent law abiding citizens and, for the most part, very conservative and god-fearing people.

          • Ron Anselmo April 19, 2024 at 1:06 pm #

            CP – you’re a strong father, we need more like you. Your children will always look up to you and need your wisdom and guidance, no matter their age – so stop the “last bullet” foolishness. You’re not going anywhere, no matter the circumstance.

          • Grace April 21, 2024 at 10:19 pm #

            I couldn’t agree more, Cankerpuss. Investing one’s time in raising sound, grounded children cannot be overvalued.

            At the same time, the ‘home school’ folk get to shape & mold those children’s values & morals.

            I have such a family within my own – a cousin in Minnesota who has had 9 children with a hard-out Reagan Republican. He (the husband) hasn’t quite gone MAGA but still believes all the bullshit tropes about ‘liberals’ and baby-eating Hillary Clinton. They’re crazy-assed Christians (out of Catholicism, possibly the worst brain infection you can contract).

            The children (now ranging from 32 to 16) have absorbed Maw & Paw’s hard-right beliefs, which is a shame. However, two of them, who chose to become teachers, now reject those weird, one-sided lies, so there’s still hope I guess.

      • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 11:15 am #

        In World War 2, women abandoned the home and went to the factories to build air planes, bombs and tanks. When the war ended many of these women didn’t return to their full time jobs in their homes. With so many women in the work place, men were not able to support the entire household on his salary. Now? Women MUST work to pay the mortgage and put food on the table.

        How is this a win win for our female friends? They are now FORCED to work meaningless jobs to support the family while their children are raised in daycares being raised by paid professionals who don’t love their children.

            I had not considered that but it makes a lot of sense. Yet again another idea learned from the CFN commentariat.

    • Nathan April 19, 2024 at 10:30 am #

      No form of human government is perfect, because we are people cursed and fallen into sin and death. But God instigated human patriarchy for very specific reasons:

      [Genesis 3:16-17 ESV] 16 To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.” 17 And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;…
      [1Timothy 2:11-15 ESV] 11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing–if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control….
      [1Corinthians 11:3, 7-9 ESV] 3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. … 7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

      • Nathan April 19, 2024 at 10:33 am #

        Lest we men think we can lord it over our wives, remember also that men have a massive responsibility to love, cherish and protect our wives with our life.
        [Ephesians 5:25, 28, 32-33 ESV] 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, … 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. … 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

        • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 11:00 am #

          Nathan, thank you for this.

          Proverbs 9:13-18

          Foolishness is like a loud woman; she does not have wisdom or knowledge.
          She sits at the door of her house at the highest place in the city.
          She calls out to those who are passing by, who are going along, minding their own business.
          She says to those who are uneducated, “Come in here, you foolish people!
          Stolen water is sweeter, and food eaten in secret tastes better.” But these people don’t know that everyone who goes there dies, that her guests end up deep in the grave.

          Proverbs 31:10-31

          10 A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds.
          11 Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it.
          12 Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long.
          13 She shops around for the best yarns and cottons, and enjoys knitting and sewing.
          14 She’s like a trading ship that sails to faraway places and brings back exotic surprises.
          15 She’s up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day.
          16 She looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she’s put aside, plants a garden.
          17 First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.
          18 She senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.
          19 She’s skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking.
          20 She’s quick to assist anyone in need, reaches out to help the poor.
          21 She doesn’t worry about her family when it snows; their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear.
          22 She makes her own clothing, and dresses in colorful linens and silks.
          23 Her husband is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers.
          24 She designs gowns and sells them, brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops.
          25 Her clothes are well-made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile.
          26 When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly.
          27 She keeps an eye on everyone in her household, and keeps them all busy and productive.
          28 Her children respect and bless her; her husband joins in with words of praise:
          29 “Many women have done wonderful things, but you’ve outclassed them all!”
          30 Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.
          31 Give her everything she deserves! Festoon her life with praises!

          • Anthea April 20, 2024 at 10:22 am #

            @ Cankerpuss:

            In the real world (as opposed to the world of your bizarre fantasies) this is what most women do: They are the breadwinners and the caretakers of their homes and children. But (also in the real world) they are often accomplishing these things with little or no male support–and very often with a husband who is either so much dead weight or who actively undermines the financial and emotional well being of the family. E.g., he is a loafer and/or a spendthrift, is psychologically or even physically abusive, has emotional or psychological problems, is addicted to get-rich-quick schemes or has substance-abuse problems, and probably has his hand in his wife’s pocket down to her knee.

            One of the reasons I’m familiar with this type of thing is from doing daycare for a number of years. It was commonly the case that the wife was working and bringing the kids to daycare because hubby was chronically unemployed–often over a period spanning several years.

            In case you’re not getting a clear picture here, let me clarify. The kids were coming to daycare–even though Dad was unemployed–because Dad was either too lazy to care for the kids while Mom was at work, or because Mom could not trust him with the kids. In some cases, Dad was too lazy to even drive the kids to and from daycare, to relieve his wife of at least this task.

            One of the kids in my daycare was a baby I got when he was one or two weeks old, and his mom quite urgently had to get back to work, because Dad hadn’t worked for a couple of years–and remained jobless for another three or four years. When Dad brought the baby to daycare in winter, he was often very cold when he arrived–meaning Dad has left him in a cold car for quite awhile, for unknown reasons.

            Since we knew the family socially, we once visited them in the evening. Mom was at church function, so Dad was alone with the three kids. At 8:00 at night, the baby was wearing a dirty diaper–and it was the same one he’d had on around 3:00 in the afternoon, when Dad picked him up. The way I knew it was the same diaper is because I had put one of my daughter’s pink diapers on him, because his weren’t handy. Dad–perceiving that he had company who might think he was remiss–kept telling his 9-year-old daughter to change the baby. (Obviously, I took care of that.)

            Now, this sort of thing will, at the very least, lead to Mom being the head of the household and the husband having no authority within the household–and certainly no authority over his wife. Most likely whatever love the wife had for her husband has grown cold (particularly if he neglects the kids). It is also unlikely that this is a guy who “is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers.”

            Often such a state of affairs leads to divorce. In this particular case, it didn’t, as the wife was deeply religious. (Her husband did spend several years of the marriage living in the basement.)

            When you do daycare for awhile, you are familiar with your clients’ lives, and you see a lot of this.

        • Jarek April 19, 2024 at 12:26 pm #

          Yes, the man must love and die for his wife if need be. She only has to respect and obey him. No one expected her to be able to love him all that much, knowing women. Romanticism reversed all this, making women the great lovers.

          Given their lower existential status, the above is not only realistic, but a very, very good deal for women. But of course their pride has gotten the better of them, and they want to be the man – sans the love part which they are not capable of nor the rationality.

            The Sioux said they would never be defeated until the hearts of their women were broken.

            In their wisdom, they understood that the strength of their warriors came from the strength of their women – the strength they needed to protect their women in battle.

    It’s clear that Trump haters hope to prevent his return to the Oval Office with a strategy of Death by a Thousand Cuts. Each cut may be trivial, but their cumulative effect is hoped to be fatal.

    To be sure, Trump’s foes are impeding his candidacy in ways that would be ruinous for any ordinary politician – tied up in court actions when he should be on the campaign trail, kissing babies.

    But Trump of course, is unlike previous presidential candidates. Recall the wrestler Antaeus, son of Gaia, the earth goddess, who slew all who challenged him. As long as he remained in contact with the Earth he was invincible. Each time the mighty Hercules flung him to the ground he became even stronger.

    Hercules figured out that he must hold Antaeus up off the earth, until his power waned. Trump’s opponents are not that clever, They don’t seem to notice that each time they attempt to cast him down he draws more power from the people who can see the game for what it is.

    My money is on Antaeus/Trump this November, despite all of the dubious impediments placed in his path, if the vote counting can be monitored. The handling of the ballots that night will matter more than anything that transpires between now and Election Night.

  4. mary.m April 19, 2024 at 9:50 am #

    Wtf?

    “the more affluent and successful Daddy was, the more he was hated for it by his female offspring”

    I grew up in an affluent neighborhood & attended an affluent college.

    In my experience, at least some affluent fathers were off making money, not setting moral examples for their daughters. The worst of them (2 that I know of) were incesting their daughters.
    My father started barging into the bathroom when I was 11, standing over me berating me while on the toilet or in the tub.

    Some, like my father, committed insurance fraud (2 accounts that I know of), tax fraud and wage theft. (I was made for a short time to work for him. He stole my wages & stuck me with the tax bill along with interest, penalties & threat of jail by the IRS.) Once my sister was off to college, 6 counts of child abandonment when he & mommy dearest took off for weekends leaving me locked out in the street.

    He apologized to me once in my life, when I was 16. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault your face is so ugly. You got your ugly face from me. You’re so ugly nobody is ever going to marry you.” & walked away muttering “I don’t know what we’re going to do about Mary. No one is ever going to marry her she is so ugly.”

    Nothing was ever good enough for them. Perfect performance in 1st piano recital: too easy a piece. 99 on a test: not 100. 100: what about the bonus point. Number 2 in class: not #1, held by genius daughter of NASA scientist & genius wife. “Discovered” by one of the top horse trainers in the world (Lockie Richards, went on to form the Kiwis, the #2 team ranked behind Germany; top student 2-time individual Olympic gold): kill the horse, try to blame witnesses, smear my character with witnesses, trainer, friend, anywhere & everywhere.

    That said, I got off lightly, although my beautiful pony didn’t. You have no idea what horrors lurk behind pristine, manicured lawns. Look at the Kennedy’s “wild child.” Lobotomized & smeared. I have it on good authority (one of the nurses who worked at the institution where she was kept) that she was not alone. It was how many of the very wealthy treated their less than perfect children.

    • Prospero April 19, 2024 at 11:19 am #

      “It was how many of the very wealthy treated their less than perfect children.” There is much speculation that Charles Lindbergh was involved in the kidnapping and murder of his son who suffered from a rickets-like condition that affected the development of strong bones.

      Lloyd C. Gardner, professor of history emeritus, points to Lindbergh’s fascination with Social Darwinism and evidence that health problems plaguing his 20-month-old son Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. suggested the child was far from perfect. He had hammertoes on his left foot, a too-large cranium and unfused skull bones.

      This entire 1932 kidnapping may have been engineered by Charles Lindbergh to destroy evidence that Lindbergh had fathered a very sick child. To this day, the details of this “kidnapping” event remain highly suspicious.

            Yes Beryl, Bruno Hauptmann went to the electric chair in 1936. But he didn’t stay long.

            He and his wife claimed his innocence to the end. The most serious circumstantial evidence against him was $14,600 of the $50,000 ransom money found in his garage.

            Of course, evidence has been planted in the past.

      Wow Mary! As you wrote today, we often have no idea of what really goes on people’s lives–people we know–until something happens, or they tell us.

      I’m sorry to read what you endured. Hopefully the adversity didn’t unduly color life for you and yours later; perhaps it made you stronger. It’s not always easy to jettison our parents’ less-than-ideal traits.

      For what it’s worth, coming from an unknown here (and I think others here would agree), I can see you being a mult-talented, “top performer” growing up, and in life in general, based on your comments here, which I find thoughtful and well-written. Including this one.

        We are all walking wounded, & we have all been subject to the hugest psy-op of all time.

        The fault lies with the subhuman, amoral exceptionalist animals who have been corrupted absolutely by an absolute power grab.

          If you are ugly, Mary, it’s not by physical inheritance but spiritual. Your pathological hatred and animus towards Israel is but a reflection of your parents’ sins. You are your parents. Until you come to a place of forgiveness towards them, in recognition of your own culpability as a perpetrator, you will be their prisoner and ugly by disposition.

            @Uncle Abraham

            In your comments in general, it seems that anyone who states the facts about Israel, or who does not agree 120% with the Israeli government has a “pathological hatred” of Israel.

            Are the lies and ignorant comments so eloquently displayed by your comments in general, and this one in particular,I wonder, are those the result of inherited genes or the result of the environment you grew up in?

          What JHK was doing is called pattern recognition. Pattern recognition allows us to come to conclusions based on logic.

        Yes. His parents came here from Serbia post WW1. My therapist suggested they must have been aristocracy, since both my grandfathers & grandmothers were college educated.

        According to my aunt, they were “a family of geniuses” & their father was “a mean little man.”

        I suspect my father was “the dumb one” in the family & his father beat on him as a result.

        On arrival here, my grandfather was put to work in the coal mines. Slavs were the new slaves, believed to be stupid by the science of tbe day — phrenology. He became an alcoholic. That must have been a big comedown, from aristocrat to slaving in coal mines. During the depression, his mother hired out as a wet nurse to help feed the kids.

        It has been close.

        First, my mother convinced a dr to give her a hysterectomy. Her aunt found out & intervened. Otherwise I wouldn’t be here.

        Then my 4 year old sister tried to drown 1 year old me. My mother intervened.

        Then when I was 5, my father zoned out & almost tickled me to death, literally. He didn’t notice me gasping & begging him to stop, crying it hurts it hurts, & then just gasping. My chest felt like it would explode, & I must have started turning blue because my mother jumped on his back screaming “Stop it! Stop it! You’re killing her! You’re killing her!” He finally snapped out of it.

        When I was 30ish, my wisdom teeth came in crooked & caused septicemia & sepsis. The hmo doctor told me it was all in my head, prescribed sleeping pills & sent me packing. My dentist saved my life, & a pair of women with a holistic health clinic brought me back to health.

        When I was 45, a jealous barn manage doubled my horse’s grain behind my back. (He was a high energy arabian I rescued from a breeder in trouble). He went nuts, stood up, lost his balance & fell over backwards. I was able to jump free, he landed right next to me. Before I could crawl away, he rolled over me & dug his elbow into my back when hoisting himself up. I was a quadriplegic for a while…just a head in the dirt. Was ready to die then & there, but then thought about my rescued critters woth special needs, so grit my teeth & came back.

        Last year my lan & I were attacked by a pack of huge, loose, unsupervised & aggressive pit bulls. I faced them down, bellowing get back & stopped them in their tracks. We emerged unscathed.

        So, yeah. I made it out alive. Barely, lol. You really have to believe in God when people (& dogs) keep trying to kill you & somehow you keep walking (or limping) away.

        But I am getting really, really tired.

      Wimin are bad shit crazy these days. Hell, women aren’t even pretty anymore. Ever gone to a mall lately and observed the behaviors of the “fairer sex?” My God. Gone are the days of pretty dresses and skirts. Females now all wear baggy sweat pants or ripped jeans and ugly, puke green T-shirts. Gone are the days of women sitting with their legs crossed. Now they sit all man-like with their legs spread wide open. Women today talk like men do with Americas favorite word, “fuck” peppering every sentence. When I go to the gym to lift some weights I am amazed at the number of women who come in and work hard to make their bodies beautiful but then turn and cover them with unidentifiable graffiti like tattoos, purple hair and strange piercings all over their faces. Women today go out and screw anything that will take them to bed, get pregnant and then use the methods of ripping their own child out of their bodies as birth control and then get froth at the mouth anger fighting for the right to protect it.

      If a woman does decide to wear a dress it is usually a tight dominatrix like mini skirt with thigh high leather boots. Whatever happened to the delicate, pastel colored summer dress than enhanced her curves and femininity.

      Women are angry, full of hate, have loud foul mouths, fat, ugly and have lost their femininity and then they wonder young men want nothing to do with them? American women, especially the young ones, are bat shit crazy. Just watch them. You’ll see it.

She in her arrogance then thinks that she can raise her sons and daughters by herself, forgetting that only a man can teach a young man how to properly be a good man.

          I knew a 40-ish female NCO in the Army who constantly played psychological games to humiliate, put down, and castrate her male coworkers. Then she wondered why men weren’t calling to ask her out. Seriously.

          She had been married earlier to a “simpler” male soldier. One day (a little tipsy) she implied to her husband’s chums that he was gay. He wasn’t, but it was the most devastating way to harm his reputation.

          An argument got physical, he broke her arm and got in serious trouble. She was acclaimed the innocent, poor victim. It gave her the needed excuse to divorce him. And it reminded me of a coyote chewing off the appendage caught in a trap to go free. Of course, such introspection was absent from her mind.

        Very few are capable of reason – no matter how smart. Reason is above IQ, being the fruit of both good character firstly, and knowing how to use your mind and being willing to do so because you love the truth.

        • mary.m April 19, 2024 at 1:13 pm #

          IQ is simply a measure of pattern recognition. Nothing more; nothing less. Definitely nothing to do with integrity, honesty, decency…

          • Jarek April 19, 2024 at 2:00 pm #

            Yes, it measures intelligence. Not nothing. But not creativity or wisdom.

            Your feminine obstinacy is showing.

          • Ron Anselmo April 19, 2024 at 2:17 pm #

            Janos – you’ve not been doing your homework. Let’s review, it’s not what we say, it’s how we say it.

          • Jarek April 19, 2024 at 2:27 pm #

            She seems to thing pattern recognition is something other than intelligence. There’s no nice way to talk her down.

            If a man revealed a horror story from childhood of being abused by his mother, what do you think the feminine response would be, eh Ron? The mirror image of what just happened?

            Oh Ron!

          • Ron Anselmo April 19, 2024 at 2:43 pm #

            Yes Janos – the mirror image. My point is that not all men are heartless savages, and not all women are not vindictive bitches.

            The majority of both? Yes, probably.

            The challenge is in separating the wheat from the chaff, but always realizing there’s wheat in there somewhere.

          • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 3:19 pm #

            If pattern recognition is the same thing as intelligence, why isn’t it intelligence?

            IQ tests measure something, but above a certain level they don’t work.

            They are useful in determining just how retarded you are, but we have all seen people who would probably score at least as high as us on an IQ test do and say really, really stupid things aren’t the scamdemic.

          • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 4:11 pm #

            Mary M is nothing like Mary Q, apart from some common feminine qualities.

            And no, Ron. Women don’t line up to offer sympathy to men, except in a social ritual, say like a funeral. Rather they are quite likely to say he’s exaggerating or that he should get over it.

      We won’t really know what Israel hit in Iran, just like we won’t really know what Iran hit in Israel, because the media is controlled on both sides. Media, like propoganda, and real guns and bombs, is another facet of war in 2024.

      We (think we) know a bit about the Iranian strike last weekend because there is some OVERLAP between what both sides told us. The Iranians claimed to have launched xxx weapons, and the Israelis/Americans claim to have shot them down.

      Both sides had, have, an interest in telling us their side regarding last weekend. Regarding last night, it’s too early, but I don’t think either side is as motivated to “brag”.

      I like listening to Alistair Crooke with Judge Nap. He says we are in an eschatological battle with the Zionists who hate Christians and Muslims and the Muslims who hate Zionists.

      WW 3 will be an eschatological battle. Now THAT is nuts!

      The Evangelicals should step away from The Old Testament and focus on The New Testament where Jesus said, “The most important commandment is that Ye love one another as I have loved you.”

    I was reading something about Bank of America de-banking someone
    whose views they did not like, and it got me thinking about the mortgage meltdown and how nobody went to jail, and how that fact relates to events we are seeing today.

    There is Tish James, doing what she said she would do, get President Trump no matter what.

    Then there is Bank of America, carrying out political attacks.

    The people who run or worked at BoA don’t have to have it spelled out for them.

    If James can try a president for crimes that weren’t even crimes, that he didn’t even do, long after the statute of limitations has passed, whether the prosecution follows the law or not, what happens to those who committed real crimes, if they don’t cooperate with TPTB?

    James can go back in time and prosecute any of them, any of the banksters or corporate CEOs or anybody.

Don’t hire enough illegal aliens at $50/hr? Well, maybe you overvalued an “asset” 25 years ago. Don’t donate to the right political party? Maybe you fart raped (yes, fart rape is a real thing now) some random woman in a Sears 25 years ago. Perhaps something you said 15 years ago gave someone the “sads”?

        In Ct the legislature just extended ‘Paid Family Leave’. An employee can now take 3 months off with 80 % pay for any reason, even to take care of your sick dog. Businesses, especially small businesses, are closing all over the place. How can anybody run a company with these kind of anti business laws? Lazy state employees will take most advantage of this the most, a second paid vacation. With this kind of mentality you can imagine what our cities look like.

    “Remove men from the scene, or castrate them politically, and you are sure to end up with a problem knowing right from wrong. ”

    JHK hit it out of the ball park today with this one. I couldn’t agree more with what today’s write up is getting at. It is essentially this, that the feminization of America has resulted in the problems we are encountering.

    I love women. I do. I am married to a great woman. My boss is a good conservative woman. However, even as conservative as she is I notice a problem with her. She can’t say “no” to people. No. The most simple word in the English language that carries the most powerful meaning is a word that is very difficult for a woman to say. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to utter the word “NO” to an bratty son or an unruly daughter.

    Most of America’s issues are tied to the rise of feminism and the removal of mothers from the home. As women have given up their god given natural responsibilities of womanhood and nurturing their children in exchange for a meaningless paper pushing job for some corporation our children are growing amoral and have vacuous souls.

    I blame what ails America on women. Yeah, I said it.

    It is women who are turning a blind eye to the transgender madness. It is women who are turning a blind eye to the wholesale murder of their babies. It is women who are spreading their legs and creating new humans with unworthy males not committed to them. It is women who have their heads up their asses and can’t seem to find a way to pull them out. It is women who are denying their own biological code and trying desperately to be men.

    Most men have been beaten down or have just all but given up. This is leaving women in quite a pickle as most women, biologically, want to marry “UP” instead of “DOWN.” Way to go ladies. You’ve made a real mess for all of us.

    • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 10:27 am #

      The transgender problem was CAUSED by men like Bruce Jenner.

      Women are not ignoring the problem, as I have proved with evidence over and over and over.

      Women who do not identify as feminist in any way, shape or form except to acknowledge that they are in favor of equal pay for equal work, are as much in favor of women with children holding down a job, if not more so.

      This isn’t 1950s small town America anymore.

      In fact, in one large office I worked it, when the topic of working mothers came up (and I and one other woman were the only “feminists”) the statement was made that mothers come to work to get away from their children, and the other working mothers nodded their heads in agreement.

      What people think of when they think of traditional home life in America was largely an invention of Madison Avenue.

      Television is fake.

      • crudgemudgeon April 19, 2024 at 10:33 am #

        • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 10:42 am #

          All transgender men are making a mockery of women. Period. It’s revenge. Its revenge against a system that has turned masculine men into ear ring wearing, mani pedi pussies who can’t tell their “women” to shut their mouths.

          It’s not the men’s locker rooms being invaded by women. It’s the women’s locker rooms being invaded by men.

          It’s not the men’s prisons being invaded by female convicts. It’s the women’s prisons being invaded by male convicts.

          Good God, ladies. You have got to wake up. It’s YOUR gender that is under attack.

          Can’t call a woman a woman these days. Now they are “birthing people” or “people who menstruate.”

          Yet you women still sit their and bloviate about men and how men have caused this.

          Ketanji Brown couldn’t even define what a woman is and Ketanji is a woman. Need I say more?

          • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 11:06 am #

            Men have caused this, and women ARE fighting this, and always have been.

            I have posted here example after example of how this is a fact, but every Monday and Friday it’s Groundhog Day again.

            Some women are….sure. I admire that female athlete, I forget her name, who is going around to colleges and universities fighting against transgender women competing in sports. She’s a strong, beautiful woman who is proud of who and what she is and she gets abused for her stance and protection of women’s sports…….by other women.

            How many university presidents are women who permit this madness to proliferate on their campuses?

            You women have all the power these days! Men don’t. It has been taken away. Yet women with all the power still refuse to stop the transgender madness and many push and support it.

            You both are right here, but your targets are confused.

            It is the progressive left who is distorting the role image between men and women. It is the left that delights in promoting all the role confusion that is going on.

            Why? Because their agenda is divide and conquer, and that includes the division between the sexes which just keeps getting worse thanks to the Leftist influence, especially in the media and the courts.

            @Cankerpuss:
            “Good God, ladies. You have got to wake up. It’s YOUR gender that is under attack.”

            Our gender has ALWAYS been under attack. Women are the niggers of the world. Oh yeah, let’s go back to the days when women couldn’t vote, or own property, or divorce a husband who drinks and beats them, or support themselves when their man dies. When my great grandfather was killed in an explosion, my grandmother was made to work for other farmers, paid with a sack of beans.

            Women working is NEW??? What do you think women have been doing for, like, EVER? In many cultures, it was women who planted the fields and took care of the animals. Just look at some of those old paintings of women reaping grain right alongside the men. Office jobs? Women have been doing those for as long as there have been offices. They just got paid half of what a man doing the same job would get. Because, you know, they had a vagina.

            It is only the influence of the Abrahamic religions with their total expungement of the female sex from divinity that brought this horrible state of affairs into being. And Christianity ran with it. Look at how they treat Mary, who can only be good because she was a virgin, and yet somehow also a mom. Look at how they treat Mary Magdalen, how Christ had to “forgive” her. For what? Prostitution? No, for being a woman. They just couldn’t stand that she was Christ’s most beloved apostle. It was she who stuck by him when he was denied by the men. She to whom he first appeared. As Woody Allen once said, “If Jesus were alive today and could see what was being done in his name, he would never stop throwing up.”

            I suggest you all read “When God was a Woman” by Merlin Stone.

            I have suspected it for a long time, and now I can actively see, that the intense hatred of women that brought about witch burnings is alive and well right on this list. And it’s not just Jarek, not by a long shot. Sure, blame US for the state of the world, you MEN who invented war and atomic bombs, and rape, and the MIC, etc. etc.

            The fact of the matter is, you men painted yourselves into a corner by inventing machines and power tools and all sorts of devices that don’t require strength to perform physically arduous jobs. You did it to make more profits. Who ran those machines? Women paid a pittance. Children. You forced people into cities. You took away all the old, rewarding jobs women did on the farm, and YOU are the ones who replaced them with menial labor. My grandmother spent 2 years in a sanitarium with TB, because she had to work at night cleaning office buildings during the depression, and raise her family and endure my grandfather’s beatings during the day. Did my grandfather help? Oh no, he was, after all, a MAN, who are above such things. No, he pulled my mother out of high school, where she was an excellent student despite English being her second language, and turned her into the mother, caring for him and my uncle.

            You people disgust me. Blame the woman, always. One step above kicking the dog.

            @ Ron Anselmo: yes, I know it’s not all men. I deeply loved my father. I was speaking of the men on this list, and JHK himself. Old boomers who regret the passing of the days when they could have their cake, and eat it, too. Reminds me of a scene in “All in the Family”, where Gloria is arguing with Mike about women’s equality, and he says, (as he starts kissing and undressing her) “You are perfectly equal. In this room.” Oh yeah, the 70’s.

            “Office jobs? Women have been doing those for as long as there have been offices. They just got paid half of what a man doing the same job would get. Because, you know, they had a vagina.” — Cactus Girl

            No, they got paid half as much because their responsibilities were fewer and less severe. The male owner works/worked longer hours, is under pressure to hold everything together to make a success of the business, and has trained longer, more consistently, and devotedly to be in a position to thrive in a competitive environment.

            The woman, OTOH, can take a break whenever she pops out a kid, as well as having a childrearing break of some agreed-upon length. And, the final issue, a woman more often quits the job for good if she marries up significantly, not having to depend on her own wages, or a two-wage income.

            The equal-pay-for-women issue has been thoroughly debunked, by Peterson (who made JHK’s header quote) and others.

            Not speaking for her, but I take her to mean lateral, not vertical. Two cubicles side by side, same educational background, same credentials, same years of experience – the man usually made more money.

            Your points on leave and opting out after marriage are well-made. Neither you nor I had them. Well, there was this older divorcee from a prominent family…

          • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 3:50 pm #

            Soul, the MAN doing the same job means that it was the same job.

            What Peterson and others ‘debunked’ is a different issue.

            You think childbirth and caring for a newborn is the equivalent of taking a break?

            THIS is one reason we are seeing a population decline. The outright hostility to women who want to or have to be in the workforce, if they choose to have children.

            Are you ENVIOUS of these straw women who can just up and quit if they do get married to someone who makes a lot of money?

            I thought that was the traditional role we so revere.

            And if you paid attention to what I wrote, you would understand that I said THE SAME JOB, not the same PAY. Of course an owner makes more; he (or she) gets the profits in addition to a salary. And yes, they have more responsibilities. As would head of a department over a janitor.

            Cactus Girl, you are so blinded by your feminism and hatred for men that you can’t see past your own biases. If you read my comments and consider my words deeply you will see that I am very much pro woman. I’m pro what a woman should be. Not what she has become.

            I would assume that any who ventures onto JHK’s website is well aware that society is amiss. Unless you are a troll or a bot. You can’t sit there and admit that where women are today is better than it was in years past.

            Our daughters don’t even know what a woman is.

            No matter what, all you see is an attack against WAMIN by we evil and oppressive men. You can’t for the life of you just take a deep breath and try to consider that the condition of women today is not good. Women are miserable creatures right now. Unhappy. Haters of themselves and everyone else. Killers of their children.

            I stand by what I said and I don’t apologize. Pull your head out and set yourself right. Be a leader and an example to your sisters, daughters and grand daughters.

            “THIS is one reason we are seeing a population decline. The outright hostility to women who want to or have to be in the workforce, if they choose to have children.”

            You are right. The feminist movement was one of the largest offenders and bullies of women, like my wife, who chose to forego a career and stay home and raise her children.

            Feminists typically are women. Are they not?

            Thank you for your comment. I do agree with what you had to say. My wife worked many long, hard and unrewarding hours raising our children while I worked to provide. I truly honor any woman to who does that. That is what I admire about a woman. The sacrifice she makes to bring a child into this world. The sacrifice she makes to raise that child in the face of the feminist bullies who deride her choices.

            It is what women have become today that I truly pity.

            Strangely enough, when I read your comments, I see that you do get it and that you do understand. But, like all women, you have had years of feminism pounded into your skulls that you just can’t get past yourselves long enough to see it.

            @Cankerpuss:
            “Cactus Girl, you are so blinded by your feminism and hatred for men that you can’t see past your own biases.”

            No I’m not, LOL. And I don’t hate men. What I hate is anyone who yearns for the good ol’ days, when women were chattel, and had no say in their own lives. When a woman who had no man, for whatever reason, was relegated to a life of poverty because no well paying jobs were open to her. I don’t know what kind of “Leave it to Beaver”, 1950’s middle class, white collar fantasy you guys are living in, but many, many poor women raised children AND did some kind of work, like sewing or laundry or taking in boarders. I don’t think it’s worse for women now. We have so many more choices, including NOT having children. Not all women are good mothers. Not all women have genes they want to inflict on children. To relegate a human being with a high IQ or a talent for something besides being a broodmare, if that’s not what she wants to do, is grossly unfair.

            Yes there are bad things in this world. But I’d much rather be here than in some middle eastern country where women are so abhorrent, they can’t even show their faces.

            The nuclear family, stay at home mom is a relatively recent thing. Women have always worked, in and out of the home.

            “I’m pro what a woman should be. Not what she has become.”

            Who are YOU to decide what a woman SHOULD be? Oh yeah, I forgot. A man. A woman is a human being, no more, no less. She should be free to do what she wants, if her strength and IQ and talent permit it. Just like a man.

          • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 5:48 pm #

            Cactus, I didn’t decide what women should be. God did. Only a Godless soul wouldn’t understand this.

            “Soul, the MAN doing the same job means that it was the same job.” — Beryl

            Yes, and that situation, in the 60s when women first entered the workforce in significant numbers, was quickly resolved during the first wave of feminism many decades ago. But you’re still complaining about it. Women, without mitigating circumstances, now make equal pay, and have for quite some time. News flash: you won!

            Even here, there are still issues with men and women doing the same job. The women taking time off for parturition and childrearing still applies, obviously, as does the mathematical certainty that there’ll always be the possibility that women will up and quit at any time if they become, more permanently, stay-at-home mothers. Men, hence, when it comes to long-term planning by employers, makes for more dependable workers.

            “You think childbirth and caring for a newborn is the equivalent of taking a break?” — Beryl

            From work at the office, yes. What’s hard to understand about that?

            “Are you ENVIOUS of these straw women who can just up and quit if they do get married to someone who makes a lot of money?

            I thought that was the traditional role we so revere.” — Beryl

            I’m just relaying facts, but like a typically unbalanced woman, you have to turn it into a value judgement.

            Your “feelings” about the situation don’t accord with the facts.

            Of course there’s nothing wrong with women quitting or taking time off to have a kid or kids. There’s also nothing wrong with employers paying men more for being more dependable (overtime, longer-term development withing the company structure) in otherwise comparable positions.

            And “straw women”? Maybe do some research and you’ll realize how naive and foolish are your views.

          • Jarek April 20, 2024 at 1:27 pm #

            Huge numbers of women become doctors and then quit to have kids. That’s a good thing. Passing those high IQ genes on and raising them to be good people is the most valuable job she could perform. The huge deficit in the medical field is then made good by foreigners, a very bad thing.

            Maybe if women had their kids early, they could then take up a career once they were a bit older? Get college out of the way, have kids, and then start medical school in her early 30’s? Easy to say I know. The challenge would be steep and one’s energy not as good as it was in one’s early 20’s.

            Of course it would help if they didn’t fill medical school with initiation rituals designed to break people. Europe doesn’t overwork its aspiring doctors. It takes a bit longer but they get there.

      • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 10:39 am #

        The transgender problem is caused by women permitting one deranged man who thinks he is a woman to compete with other young women in swimming competitions.

        The transgender problem is caused by women who sit on school boards and permit transgender and homosexuality issues to be proliferated in public schools.

        The transgender problem is caused by women who invite nutjobs on their TV shows, such as Dylan Mulvaney, and interview and congratulate him for winning the “woman of the year” award, knowing full well the “woman” they are interviewing is still equipped with a fully functioning male member.

        It is women who are permitting deranged men who claim to be women to enter their locker rooms and their restrooms.

        It is women who, when their little boy shows an interest in dolls, assume the boy must be a girl and then goes out of her way to make sure that that little boy becomes a girl.

        It is women who take their children to drag shows and watch disgusting men make a literal mockery of their gender and then assume that this is good for the mental health of their children.

        Need I go on? Women could put a stop to this madness immediately…….if they wanted to.

        • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 11:11 am #

          The women who try to stop this get punished for it. Not the men.

          I have posted example after example supporting this right here.

          Some little girls just refused to compete against a boy, in Missouri. The state passed a law keeping boys out, but a court struck it down.

          MAN (sort of) Barack Obama started this.

          The only way girls can stop this is by ending their own sports.

          The MEN ruining women’s sports get off on ruining it for the girls.

          • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 11:19 am #

          • JohnAZ April 19, 2024 at 11:48 am #

            Not only that, they are dealing with their own inadequacies by bullying the less able, women. A very typical bully attribute.

            Girls need to continue their sports, but boycott any competition that “males” are involved in. And definitely avoid the invasion of their safe zone, the restroom by anyone with a dick.

            As always, crying towels do nothing, our courts are so effed up that they do not work. Girls need to sacrifice themselves to stop bullshit from happening, just like any other group.

          • loosethedogs April 19, 2024 at 12:23 pm #

            Beryl: IMHO the answer is quite apparent to wit: allow tranSEXUALS to compete but BAN transGENDERS (TINOs) who haven’t made the ultimate, permanent commitment to their choice.

            Each tranSEXUAL would need to be officially certified as being correct biologically and hormonally. THEN we will see this stupid issue quickly disappear.

          • Jarek April 19, 2024 at 12:49 pm #

            Transgendered men will still have the advantage of longer arms and legs and a stronger frame – even if some of the muscle mass is diminished because of the surgery and hormones.

            Yeah, Jarek, I’m figuring that out. Beryl hates us for being mysoginisitc pigs but she her self is just as mysognitistic towards men.

            I acknowledge that men have to get their act together and start doing better. Beryl will never acknowledge that women have clearly dropped the ball and abrogated their sacred responsibility of womanhood. You know, make babies with men committed to them and stop murdering their own offspring.

          • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 3:45 pm #

            I don’t put down women. I try to help women see that there is much more to their existence beyond being paper pushers, typists and cashiers. The greatest gift any woman can give to society is to embrace her natural order. That order is to be a loving wife, encourage more from her husband, bear children, nurture those children, make a stable and safe home for those children.

            I despise what women have become. They are no longer the equals of men. They either seek to empower themselves over their male counterparts or they seek to be like, and in many cases, lesser than their male counter parts.

            That, Beryl, is what I put down. I also stand for men. Especially straight, white, Christian men for that is one demographic of our society that has nobody representing them.

            I stand by what I say. Women need to pull their heads out of their asses and straighten themselves out. They are gatekeepers of morality. It was women in tamed the wild west. It will be women again who tame the madness. Question is, when will happen?

          • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 3:52 pm #

            They’re either silent, or foursquare behind the women.

            Shitty men go along with their feminist wives, girlfriends, and sisters because they’re brainwashed, neutered slaves to their womens’ wishes. They also don’t want to get fired from their tenuous jobs for voicing wrongthink. That’s the ‘lucky’ ones who can overcome the bias of women hiring women over more qualified men. (What, you thought that all those feminism 401 courses just produced once-student women on the unemployment line? They get all the human resources jobs, and enforce their ideology to a T.)

          • GreenAlba April 19, 2024 at 9:25 pm #

            I’ve seen how social contagion works, from my grandson. He’s male.

            Re women ‘with their own money’ (the horror, the horror …), my mother started work at the age of 14, in 1932. She earned 8 shillings a week (£0.40). She gave 7 shillings to her mother and was left with 1 shilling for herself.

            When she married in 1949, she entered a traditional marriage. She loved her job and didn’t want to quit, but my dad said that if that was the case he’d just wait and they’d get married when she was ready to give up her job. So she gave up her job. Men didn’t like people thinking they couldn’t ‘keep’ their wife.

            My dad got his pay on a Friday and gave his paypacket to my mother. That was the tradition, as it had been the tradition with her father before her. The men kept some pocket money for themselves, while their wives managed the household budget.

            That was in the ‘respectable working class’. In the non-respectable working class, the men drank their paypacket before they got home.

            I see it in terms of supply and demand. Obviously, there is a severe shortage of hideous women and defective men.

            But seriously, we are living in an unfortunate era to bear witness to all this. In perhaps in a few hundred years, men (who can instigate 10,000+ pregnancies) and women (who can birth at most 30 offspring) will finally be equal.

            The common people will long already be sterile from pollution, injections, radiation, genetic modification, and other, yet to be determined toxins. Only the State will have the capabilities to produce additional people, a la Brave New World, through complex and expensive medical and genetic engineering (eunuchs make great administrators).

            The penis will be removed and the vagina sewn up post hysterectomy at point of production. Males and females will appear physically indistinguishable, with the same tiny hole in the crotch through which to urinate.

            People will be engineered by the State for the State’s needs and purposes. The State makes the people, while the people are solely beholden to the State, their maker. History will be written to castigate the very notion of gender as ever having been a positive attribute of homo sapiens—a filthy animal act retarding our progress toward a golden age of perfect equalness, ever just beyond reach.

            Of course, the elites will still have their genitals and a harem of unmodified, barren females that are rarely seen in public, if ever. Someone should write a dystopian novel about it. At the end, one of the elites and his miraculously not barren female go off-world and restart male/female relations…

            1. child rape – stealing innocence.
            2. blood drinking – the adrenechrome-rich blood of their victims.
            3. child sacrifice – once innocent children are used up.

            They will tightly control procreation just as the Chinese did but with far fewer people on the planet, it will be easier to accomplish. Newborns will be swept away, never to be seen again by their birth mothers

      It’s not up to government to put an end to it, it’s up to the church, and I mean the real one, not the ones that meet on Sunday morning. Many of the problems we have in the United States today are because the church dropped the ball in addressing sin and its consequences, in supporting and electing evil men and women (yes, there are evil men and women) to government positions, and in not speaking out against the obvious wrongs of racial discrimination and the harassment and persecution of gays and lesbians. Had the church addressed these issues in the past, they wouldn’t be problems today.

        Is banning gay marriage persecution? The real church sees things much differently. If you let them marry, you can’t stop them from adopting – and that’s monstrous.

        • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 1:14 pm #

          The church I have limited contact with is constantly caving to the women. Here’s a few recent examples:

          1. During their conference the men used to have their own “priesthood session.” That has been eliminated because of bitching women.
          2. Only men could stand as witnesses for ordinances like baptisms. Now women can do so.
          3. In their temples the women covenanted to follow their husbands as long as the husbands followed god. That has been eliminated in that now the women covenant directly to God thus eliminating the need to be loyal to their husbands.
          4. Majority of the congregational budget is spent on women’s activities while all the men are asked to do is babysit for their wives so they can go to the church women’s commemoration parties.
          5. Men are repeatedly bashed for not getting married while the women are told to sit and be pretty and keep doing what they are doing.
          6. Women wear less and less or more revealing attire to church services and get away with it wile the men are chastized for not wearing a white shirt and tie.

          Thus far they haven’t given women the priesthood but I fear it is coming as the vocal minority of unhappy “wamin” is growing and turning into a majority.

          When that happens, what purpose do men have in the church anymore? And the church “leaders” wonder why they are losing men and young men in droves? Duh!

          • Anthea April 20, 2024 at 12:43 am #

            @ Soul Forensics:

            Well, now that you mention it, none of that happens in my church, either.

            There is a tendency–though subtle–to encourage women to wear dresses and veils to church.

            One thing that I think is apparent in most churches is that the women do nearly all the church work: cleaning the church, working in the kitchen to prepare church dinners, cleaning up after events, organizing dinners and small parties for baptisms, funerals, etc., organizing vacation Bibile school and School of Religion–and the little parties for the last day of these programs.

            There used to be some complaints about this, and some effort was made to get the Knights of Columbus to do something besides meeting once a month to drink beer and eat sandwiches–and not clean the place up very well afterwards, so that the women had to take care of that, as well as the resulting problem with mice. But I think this problem with the guys being layabouts may have been somewhat alleviated.

            One of the men at church recently paid for a replacement faucet and sink sprayer for the kitchen, and was going to pay a plumber to install it, but my daughter (who knows quite a bit about plumbing) did the installation. (Once you understand plumbing, you understand that it is basically Tinker Toys–though often in tight, dark spaces, with all kinds of crap in your way–and often done while holding a 5-pound pipe wrench over your head and using it to unscrew something you can’t see, because it’s behind something else, and it’s dark.)

            The guys may well observe that my daughter has the time for this, but she brought the baby with her, and he was fussy most of the time, and she had to make a trip to the hardware store for “plumbin’ fittin’s.”

            But, despite the fact that the women are doing most of the work, I don’t see any instances of the dreaded “usurpation” of the men’s roles, or even any desire for any such thing. Women who engage in church work do it because they love it. And it’s a pretty conservative parish.

          • Anthea April 20, 2024 at 12:49 am #

            @ Soul Forensics:

            Are you experiencing the problems Cankerpuss describes in your church? If so, it seems to me like you could find another church to attend.

            Of course, probably neither you nor Cankerpuss attends church. Cankerpuss’s anecdotes about about “a church I have limited contact with,” so he’s going by hearsay, rather than actual experience.

            So…. You complain that I base my arguments on experience, when you base yours of gossip and hearsay.

          • Soul Forensics April 20, 2024 at 1:40 am #

            Anthea,

            My reference to you wasn’t about your personal experiences with men vs women in church power plays. It was about your general views on men based only on personal experience and your experiences with the small number of men in your community.

            That’s why I rarely make comments about women (or men) I meet, because I can’t extrapolate from that into any accurate generalized conclusion, even though I’ve lived a long time and have been very outgoing with a wide range of social, political, intellectual, and work groups.

            I’ll ironically break that rule, only because you asked — I quit going to church at 13, but I remember with fondness the older women who volunteered with chores and social events. They seemed like good Christians. I’m happy that you don’t have problems along the lines described above.

            Jarek: No in fact you equated Beryl and Anthea as examples of flawed feminine thinking – a point I heartily agree with.

      • Anthea April 20, 2024 at 1:00 am #

        @ mary.m:

        Yes, many women and girls are very strongly socialized not to say no, and many women become skilled at saying no without actually saying no. E.g., “I’ll have to discuss this with a dozen other people before I can give you an answer.” You may have to use your psychic powers to realize that she just said no.

        Not all women are like that, but if you work with other women very much, you come to recognize the type.

        Jarek, of course, has scarcely any human contact at all, so his thoughts on this matter would be mere fantasy.

            Genuine conservatives are horrific for feminists of course. Truthful, tradition-revering conservatives wouldn’t water down — or worse, invert — their policies to placate feminists.

      Not individuals. It is society’s attitudes, mores and folkways that are influenced by these power people that cause the problems.

      Do you agree that the loss of sexual roles in society causes societal mental disorder? All of us need a big picture, a role to grow up into. IMHO, that is what is being mucked up.

      The most obvious example of this is today’s Trans movement, feeding on the sexual dysmorphia that kids face today. The goal of the LGBTQ+ lobbyists is to create more sexual insanity, to create more fodder for themselves. Their influence in Church, schools needs to be reduced to elimination. Having kids be exposed to their perversity during crisis times like puberty needs to be stopped. The mental disorder called public schools needs to be controlled.

      LBGTQ+ is contagious.

      • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 11:40 am #

        And what gender comprises the greatest majority of public school teachers? Yeah. Wimin. My sons didn’t have a single male teacher until they entered high school. For the most part these female teachers were good and avoided the LGBTQESEEEVEASE nonsense. But I live in Utah. My brother’s children in Wisconsin? It’s constant. His teenage daughter has to shower with boys who claim they are girls. The administrators and teachers in his school? WOMEN!

        • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 4:01 pm #

          More women go into elementary education.

          There are still more male principles, but that will change because DEI insists on hiring Indians and foreign black women.

          The trans perverts seem to prefer elementary teaching though.

          Why does everyone think it’s a bad thing for teachers of small children to be women?

          • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 4:33 pm #

            Because those women think that small boys should learn in the same manner as small girls. When in fact, small boys, by nature are more rambunctious and energetic than a small girl. So, instead of structuring their teaching to meet the learning capability of a little boy, they demand the boy be doped up with psychotropic drugs so render the boy more girl like in the classroom.

            Men know instinctively know how to handle little boys better than women do. As a father, it was always I who played rough with my sons, it wasn’t my wife. It was I who had to teach my sons how to respect and treat their mother and sisters.

            As I said, many women teachers were good for my children and did a good job. Many women are excellent teachers. Some of my favorite teachers were women. But the teachers that stand out the most to me were the men. They didn’t put up with the crap the idiots threw at them.

          • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 4:35 pm #

            Today? If a man teacher handled rowdy children the way male teachers did in my youth they’d end up in jail for child abuse and lose everything they own and have worked for.

            Very few men there be that want to be part of an education system like that.

          • TruthSeeker1986 April 20, 2024 at 7:16 am #

            @Cankerpuss

            You are quite wrong about women entirely. My mother was rough, you want to know how rough? SHE BEAT OUR ASSES. Teachers down South use to do that male or female. My mother picked up that habit and started whooping me and my brothers ass when we got out of line, or did something we shouldn’t have. She didn’t have to “play rough” with us, because she wasn’t playing. LOL.

          • Anthea April 21, 2024 at 10:51 pm #

            Managing young children all day long is more appealing to women than to men, and women have more of a natural aptitude for it. And, frankly, teaching is an all-around shitty profession and, compared to other “professional” jobs, poorly paid. It’s also highly political, in the sense that parents are eager to find fault and love to stir shit. (Best not to live in the same town where you teach. You are under constant surveillance.)

            No sensible person goes into teaching unless they are a “connected” person, in which case the job is a kind of sinecure reserved people (and their families) who have political or economic power in the local community. This often means they can get by with many indiscretions.

            Another way to get job security in teaching is by being the principal’s drug or booze connection. The principal cannot be seen buying booze (or weed, etc.) anywhere within about a fifty mile radius of his school. He will require the services of one of the teachers for this. Further, he will need to have some serious dirt on said teacher, who might otherwise blackmail him or rat him out. So he will choose a teacher who is known for engaging in some kind of unsavory shit. (Often, that’s why the principal hired him.)

            You probably don’t encounter these problems in the field of welding. So teaching, especially in elementary school, would be a hard pass for most normal guys.

            I suppose what I’m getting at is that teaching only makes sense if you’re a housewife who’s in it for the summer vacations and work schedule, so you can be with your kids. It’s not really a job for a grownup.

            I often state that I don’t like what women have become. That should not be construed to mean that I appreciate what men have become. I believe both sexes have lost their way. Both men and women need to get their act together and start living moral and virtuous lives again and provide a sanctity for their children to grow and thrive in.

            I just believe that women are the critical element in all of it. Without them, we are doomed.

      Sexual role identity in males is really screwed up today, confused by the lack of roles caused by yes, the women’s movement. The women that were In charge did not want parity, they wanted the power.

      Take a man being laid off at a job he has worked at for years. His role to his wife and kids is breadwinner which is entrenched in his mind.

      A righteous people would never tolerate an unrighteous government.

      We must first fix ourselves.

      Women need to return to their biological nature and become loving wives to their husbands and loving mothers to their children teaching and rearing them in stable homes.

      Men need to return to their biological nature and protect, love and provide for their women, support them in their motherhood and teach their children how to property behave, and succeed, in the real world.

        Did it take 2 incomes to provide a middle income lifestyle for a family 60 years ago?

        Can 2 incomes provide for a family today?

        Can the US accommodate a middle income lifestyle for all of the population? If not, why not?

        Do you think the dominant factor is attitude or environment?

          I don’t consider capitalism, or the free market, to be evil. The problem with capitalism evolves from human nature. Name greed and the lust for power. When you put human greed and capitalism together you have a recipe for disaster. For example, why does a billionaire like Bill Gates, who has more money than he can ever spend in many generations, continue to impose his will and grow his wealth and power? Greed. Greed. Greed.

            And what is the solution?

          • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 4:46 pm #

            Evolution. Until humans evolve and purge the endemic gene of greed and lust for power, there will never be a solution. All good things can be corrupted and perverted into something evil.

            Communism is a good example. On its principles Communism wouldn’t be too bad if it was employed appropriately. But it doesn’t get employed appropriately. It is warped, corrupted and twisted into a evil that ends up murdering millions while a select few at the top hoard all the wealth.

            Capitalism would work if people could cast off the greed. I mean how much money does a person truly need to fulfill their needs? Does a man and his wife need three 20,000 square foot homes? Does a person need more than a billion dollars? Hell, give me 5 million and you’ll never see or hear from me again. Why does a corporation need to continue to grow until it gobbles up every competitor and ultimately collapses itself due to a lack of competition? I don’t know. Greed?

            Until humans cast off the lust for power and greed, we are doomed.

          • TPTB-USA April 20, 2024 at 9:00 am #

            I would suggest that human nature and greed are consequences of our environment and the survival instinct that we all come preprogrammed with.

            The cycle seems to be that capitalism evolves to socialism, and socialism evolves to capitalism.

            Perhaps we just need to comprehend and learn to live with the cycle?

            I believe that the architects of the 2030 Agenda are trying to provide a solution.

        Well, another intelect bites the dust. So, you’ve got a brilliant mind, but it comes along with a vagina, so, NO LEARNING FOR YOU!!! Just pop out brats. Then have the men kvetch and moan about how they have all the responsibility, and the women are freeloaders and gold diggers, sitting around watching soap operas and eating bonbons. Have them make jokes about women “trapping” men, probably with their vagina dentatas.

            “Oh no! a woman spoke her mind based on her own experience! She must be bitter. Probably needs to get laid, too. Or maybe it’s “that time of the month”, or menopause, when women become useless.”

            I’m not bitter, because things are so much better now. At least girls today have some opportunities, and some legal freedoms.

            My Father was not charming. He kicked my ass when I mouthed off to my Mother. He also told me firmly when I was acting like a fool and making life difficult for myself. I make no allusions to his charm. He was a real man. The kind of man women today would not know how to handle.

            My mother knew how to handle him. He cherished her above all things and she was faithful and loyal to him.

            Charming? HELL NO. Awesome? HELL YES.

            You are bitter. I’ll tell you right now that the number one cause of death in our young men is suicide and you don’t give a fuck. But hey, “at least girls today have some opportunities, and some legal freedoms.” Yeah. They can butcher their own babies and run roughshod over our sons.

      • Anthea April 21, 2024 at 11:15 pm #

        @ Cankerpuss:

        I could be mistaken, but I think most women would prefer to be stay-at-home wives and mothers. There are two reasons why they choose not to: 1) The job is uncompensated, and 2) There’s a high risk of being, as Tammy Wynette described, “stepped on, lied to, cheated on, and treated like dirt.”

        So you could say it is both an uncompensated career choice, as well as being a low-status one.

        Feminism, at least back in the old days, was simply a matter of women’s desire to be able to choose something other than an uncompensated, low-status career with a high probability of abuse.

        If men–or women, for that matter–would like to see the restoration of traditional sex roles and the traditional family, that’s the problem that must be solved.

        In other words, something has to change so that women’s traditional roles are both reasonably well compensated and hold a reasonably high status (are respected)–and are reasonably secure financially (should hubby die, run off, or require divorcing), and of course provide security from abuse.

        I don’t think the government can legislate to secure all of these. I.e., I don’t think the government should be sending every housewife a paycheck, and while the government is quite good at influencing social mores, I’ve never known of a case where it was to the good.

        The only way this can be achieved is through social power, and I see little indication of people flocking to embrace traditional values.

    • BackRowHeckler April 19, 2024 at 11:42 am #

      Not all women. Were talking about the women with purple hair, crazy eyes, wierd glasses, a little overweight, and a tatt or two … who dominate local school boards and advocate for ‘Tranny Reading Hour’ in the local kindergarten, and LBGQT ceremonies where 2nd graders pledge allegiance to the Pride flag hanging in every classroom.

          Yes, BackRowHeckler. Those women! However, when you deride those kind of women, women like Beryl and Cactus Girl believe you are referring to ALL WOMEN. Even if you tell them you are not referring to ALL WOMEN, they come back and accuse you of referring to ALL WOMEN.

          It’s a fruitless endeavor.

          TPTB, when you spend 6 years in the ‘Womyns Studies’ program at Brown University, learning not only to hate men, but ‘the Patriarchy’, the traditional family, all religions except Islam (which is sacrosanct), children who aren’t on their ‘Trans Journey’, the United States as it was founded, White people, straight people, ‘Climate Deniers’,… this is what you get. And what else are these lovely ladies going to do besides get on a school board and start f#kkng with the little ones, seeing as how their prospects for marriage is basically 0 and they’ll never have children of their own?

          @ TPTB-USA:

          Now that you ask “Why do you think those women are the way they are?” I have a pretty good guess. I think that it was almost certainly abuse.

          A huge percentage of female children have been molested or raped, and a very high percentage of women have been raped. Plus they have also probably found that they can’t go out on a date with a guy without things getting unpleasant on the sexual front. (When you have five grown daughters, as I do, you hear a lot of stories about how men treat women on dates.) In short, these women are probably quite sincere in their desire to have nothing to do with men. They have good reason.

          • TPTB-USA April 22, 2024 at 1:52 am #

            That which you describe is hard for me to comprehend. That is not the world I grew up in.

            That being said, I have no experience from which to say that is not the case.But, I do believe that it relates to many issues.

            I believe that one of the primary issues relates to the climate change mentality with the world coming to an end. So, the frustration and despair like TruthSeeker1986 has expressed.

            Another primary factor relates to my assessment of the existing format for life, where you have a family of four and a cart, with the object being a race to the finish line.

            All four Chinese are pulling the cart 23/7, and the ladies, as BackRowHeckler explains, haven’t got a snowballs chance in hell of wining the game. And the same goes for many of the younger generation, as messianicdruid pointed out, the system has been gamed to perfection.

            Another factor is, as many on this board have pointed out, the values people treasure today are shallow and meaningless.

            There remains a long laundry list, but you get the idea.

            ****

            I assume that you are sharing your daughters experiences. Do you think it has anything to do with the area/environment where you live?

            I suspect that the small town area that I will live out my life in is similar, but suspect that would not be the case with males from many/most Jehovah Witness families (just a guess).

      • Soul Forensics April 19, 2024 at 6:33 pm #

        Much broader problem than that, BRH.

        The females you describe are the obvious ones, easy to make fun of, but feminism itself is a cancer, destroying both men and women.

        Women, today, have an incredible amount of power in society, and even more incredibly, it’s happened in a historic blink of an eye.

        Instead of being grateful for their political and social largesse, they complain even more vociferously. Nothing is ever good enough for most women.

          • Anthea April 21, 2024 at 11:56 pm #

            @ Cankerpuss:

            The bottom line is that women do not choose traditional female roles as stay-at-home wives and mothers, because it is so often a bad decision, as a career choice–objectively so. As I mentioned above, it is a career choice that is both uncompensated and disrespected, and also one that exposes the woman and her children to the possibility of extreme poverty and abuse.

            If you ask yourself why this should be so, and who is to blame for it, it is unquestionably men. In a traditional marriage, who is deciding to treat his wife disrespectfully? Who is deciding to treat her abusively? Who is deciding that the wife have no decision-making about the family finances, nor any access to funds for her personal wants/needs? Who has placed the wife in a position in which she must endure abuse, because leaving the guy would plunge her (and her chidren) into dire poverty?

            Um…. Could it be…(to mimic Church Lady)…men?

            Duh. Of course it’s men’s fault. Is there someone else in the picture (like some kind of third spouse) who is contemptuous of the wife, abusive of the wife, or failing to provide for her needs?

My son helps diligently with the kids and takes care of them by himself on the weekends when his wife is working. That and maintaining the home fixing and upgrading things, and the yard. I feel for both of them, they are both incredibly hard working dedicated parents.

      Here is the rub. However. Young people are up against an economic reality that they are really upset about. However, they have little ability or wisdom to know what to do about it. So they protest and protest and protest. They can identify all kinds of problems, but do not have the physical or mental resources to do anything about it.

      Some will tell you families can manage better by giving up cable TV etc. (as if this is 1980) but even families that pinch pennies so one parent can be at home while the kids are home run into the astounding cost for run of the mill childbirth.

        A simple 1400 square foot townhome in my state runs anywhere from $380,000 on the low side to over $1,000,000 on the high side. A TOWNHOME.

How much land does one human being need? My Dad always said its foolish to invest a ton of money into a lot of cars. I asked him why. He said because you can only drive one car at a time.

            Greed is humanity’s achilles heel. It is our downfall. Our lust for more and excess beyond any human need is why capitalism fails.

        @ Bery of Oyl:

        I’ve mentioned this before re the cost of hospital birth. The solution is home birth–preferably, for most people, with a midwife, though unassisted home birth is definitely not off the table for experienced moms.

        I haven’t kept up on the availability of midwifery here in Missouri, though I know a couple of women who’ve had home births in fairly recent years. One lives in Amish country in northern Missouri and had an Amish midwife. The other has three children born at home, but I don’t know how she arranged this. Apparently midwifery is not illegal here.

        Three of my kids were born at home. These were unassisted home births.

        A midwife will probably provide better prenatal care, and will definitely provide a safer delivery than a hospital. She will also be familiar with and alert for complications that might indicate the need to go to a hosptial–though such situations are rare.

        • Paula D April 20, 2024 at 12:05 pm #

          I agree. Home birth is the way to go. Much less dehumanizing.

          • Mac April 21, 2024 at 4:29 am #

            Or more dehumanizing, when your newborn’s brain gets injured by the lack of availability of oxygen and becomes a vegetable.

          • Anthea April 22, 2024 at 2:03 am #

            @ Mac:

            Back when I was researching home birth (that would have been in the 80s), statistics showed it was far safer to have a planned home birth than a hospital birth.

            If I remember right death or injury to the mother was 14 times greater in a hospital birth, and death or injury to the infant was 7 times greater.

            There are a lot of reasons for this, among them unneccessary procedures and drugs.

            Also, back in the 80s, the C-section rate was about 25%, and this was considered a scandal, since the real need for C-sections is only about 2%. The current C-section rate is now 32.1%. There no long seems to be any outcry about this.

            I think one reason for a high C-section rate is that it is preferred by doctors, because it allows them to schedule births (at their convenience). No 3:00 am calls to come into the hospital. So there will naturally be a tendency to schedule a C-section delivery whenever they can think of a plausible excuse.

            Americans have long been brainwashed into believing that pregnancy is an illness and childbirth is a medical event. While medical support or intervention may sometimes be necessary or advisable, the same is true of your average baseball game. While it’s possible that somebody could get hurt, that is not a reason for baseball games to be held at hospitals.

  19. JohnAZ April 19, 2024 at 11:11 am #

    Anybody notice that the world is separated by its attitude about male-female roles.

    The West has allowed women to acquire a dominant role in society as they work to get away from traditional roles as homemaker and wife/mother,

    Most of the rest of the world says, no, nyet. Men hold the power almost exclusively. Even the RCC holds women in traditional roles.

    So guess what the pu——whipped American male does, kowtows to the power seeking American dominitrix to convince the rest of the world how wrong they are and how all women must control.

    It is not going to happen, period. Why?

    Because men are defending their turf. A man has one biological function, women have many. Men have created a male dominated society to justify their own existence. Abstract thinking, morality, power, breadwinner, hunter, enforcer , all have been assigned to men. Mother’s as an example, defer to father’s as the ultimate disciplinarian, “You just wait until your father gets home.” Even men’s deeper voice allows more “fear” in his role of enforcer.

    Men have created societies since cave man days to enforce his dominance. Women not allowed, it might spoil the message.

    Even *&^%$# is affected, the f word used to be verboten in female company, not so much today.

    The separation of the sexes in youth is a big problem, how do you acquire knowledge about the opposite sex in all facets to be able to choose a spouse or just get along with the opposite sex. There is a reason why women become sex objects, because of the mystery caused by the void of knowledge between the sexes due to isolation in youth. Teenagers are an enigma, fully developed and fitted out to be parents without the societal tools to do so. And we wonder why adolescence is nuts.

    So who is right, 9 to 5, or Leave it to Beaver? American femininity or Islamic Shia law?

    It took 2000 years to convert the world to the message of Jesus, it will take considerably longer to convince the world that it needs a matriarchal make-up.

    Anybody notice that the Feminine “world”, the West is in severe decline? That their foe, BRICS++ is predominately masculine. Throughout history, rough and tumble male societies have always conquered effeminate societies. IMHO, this is about to repeat itself once again. One of the ironies here is that women leaders are tough, think Golda Meir, or Margaret Thacher, or Indira Ghandi. When women face big power issues, they can be tough as nails.

    The feminization of a society, however, spells disaster, historically. Like everything else,I guess it just depends who can get the power and hold onto it. Ah, humanity.

        Typical male fantasy. Wife at home while husband gets ‘sexual therapy’ from the Witch of Hebron. Wife isn’t told (because who does she think she is anyway?), but she’s to be grateful for his revived sexual prowess. Doubtless he can now fantasise about the ‘witch’ while he’s going through the motions with his wife. That should do it.

        Nothing new under the sun. And then there’s the bloke whose wife conveniently dies so that he can live with a waif half his age.

          In fairness, if I recall correctly (it’s been a long, long time), the wife was shagging the one who got the waif, either until he got the waif or until hubby got his prowess back from the witch.

          • GreenAlba April 19, 2024 at 1:18 pm #

            Women do what more often? Go through the motions with their partner while fantasising about someone else? Never insulted anyone like that myself, but what other people do is their own business.

            I’m more interested in the practical stuff. I’m not a feminist, although I appreciate that I own my own home and was able to earn a decent living doing something reasonably satisfying. I also think it’s not a good idea for a woman not to have qualifications of some sort behind her (not necessarily academic), because husbands do occasionally die, become maimed or sick and unable to work, or just run off with the local Witch of Hebron, so her children will be less poor if she can take over the reins more effectively and put food on the table.

            And when I see people promoting a regime where women have no rights and no vote, I can see that such a regime would appeal to the kind of men who don’t want to be accountable and would like to be able to cheat on their wife without the wife having the economic power to leave.

            Sorry for being a killjoy. I’m sure there are plenty of other sources of entertaining oneself to death.

            I’ve read them all – years ago. I don’t know what incident you’re referring to – nothing to apologise for as I didn’t suggest I did. I made a general comment, something you approve of when it suits you and don’t when it doesn’t.

            I have a preference for truth and honesty, generally.

            I won’t demand an apology for ”women aren’t moral beings’, since you are just being a clown, as usual.

          • GreenAlba April 20, 2024 at 6:41 am #

            I didn’t say you were lying. You were defending the hiding of the truth. There’s a lot of it about these days – people complaining that discovery of deception is worse than the deception.

            I’ve never cheated on anyone, so if anyone had been cheating on me, I’d have wanted to know, whoever ‘blurted it out’ or just plain told me because the truth matters, nowhere moreso than in personal relationships, which are – or rather should be – based on honest, transparency and trust.

          • Jarek April 20, 2024 at 1:49 pm #

            You said: Lying is now moral. Got it.

          • GreenAlba April 20, 2024 at 2:22 pm #

            I could have expressed it better. Perhaps ‘hiding the truth is now moral’. In any case I was referring to the unremembered (by me) incident you referred to from the novel, not suggesting in any way that you were lying yourself. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. And no, I am not and was not lying. I take lying seriously, being a moral being. I consider it a travesty of human communication.

            I’m sorry so many people do it all the time, and thoughtlessly. Studies show men do it more than women and that they do it for personal gain, whereas women largely tend not to want to offend people or hurt their feelings, so tell that sort of lie. Both will lie when engaged in cheating, obviously.

          • Jarek April 20, 2024 at 11:13 pm #

            Expressed what better? Your faulty memory of the novel? Or your accusation? In any case, you owe me an apology.

          • GreenAlba April 21, 2024 at 9:29 am #

            I owe you no apology. I already said I was sorry if I wasn’t clear enough. Some of that ‘inner work’ you need to do revolves around your narcissitic need for people to grovel to you, especially women.

            I’m now beginning to think you are just obtuse. How much clearer do I have to make it before it penetrates your brain?

            I expressed my extremely fleeting, offhand thought in such a way that you thought I was accusing you of lying. I was not accusing you of lying (and no, for the nth time, I don’t remember the incident to which you refer – nor did I claim to remember it).

            You strongly suggested that a truth being ‘blurted out’ (in the novel) was some kind of terrible sin, which made the person blurting it out a non-moral being, whereas my position is that the sin is whatever the person didn’t want exposed (blurted out) and truth is what we should generally welcome. Heaven forfend that someone should ‘blurt out’ how dangerous mRNA injections are.

            If you still don’t get it, I can’t help you. I am, however, sorry for your inability to understand English.

            YOU said blurting out THE TRUTH made the character a non-moral person.

            I revised the word ‘lying’, which NEVER referred to you, but to the act of hiding the truth in the novel, and substituted ‘hiding the truth’, because that was more apposite (YOU were defending hiding the truth).

            I even said sorry if I’d confused you by using ‘lying’ (despite the fact that lying and hiding the truth objectively have the same result – dishonesty) and specifically substituted ‘hiding the truth’, emphasising ONCE AGAIN that I had never accused YOU of lying.

    I read somewhere that the reason mothers get so much blame if the mess up but not fathers is because people feel entitled to their mother’s love, but feel that they have to earn their father’s.

    Having grown up in a large family during the rise in having children after WWII, I can attest that the “moral code” many a dad passed on to his sons in the 50s/60s was a kick in the pants for not taking out the garbage.

    • Paula D April 19, 2024 at 11:37 am #

      I had a great dad. He came from a starving family of 10, so my mom and he only produced 2 children. He wanted to be able to feed us.
      He gets points for that, right away.

      Plus, he read to me every night, taught me songs that we sang together, tried to teach me math and table manners and how to make a bed, and had the philosophy of child rearing “I try to say ‘no’ rarely, but when I say it, I mean it.” (He passed that on to me when I had kids.)

      I have no complaints about my dad. He also didn’t believe in destroying his family and his life by trying to make a lot of money. He thought that other things in life were more important.

      I have a feeling that a lot of the problems in this country are caused by men, and women, who think that making money is that only important thing in life.

      They are wrong.

      • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 12:10 pm #

        That making money as an end unto itself really ramped up during the Reagan years.

      • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 1:43 pm #

        Well said, Paula D. The love of money is the root of all evil. It induces an insatiable desire to “keep up with the Jones.” As I mentioned above my wife and I have lived in the same “starter home” for more than 20 years. When we first built our home we had many friends in the neighborhood. After about 10 years one of our “friends” put their home up for sale, wanting to move to a bigger “executive” home (thank you real estate agents for coining that one). I remember telling my wife to watch for the soon to come exodus of families in favor of bigger homes that they do not or could not possibly need. Sure enough, one by one, our friends left the neighborhood moving a little as a mile away into bigger, fancier homes. Friendships ruined. That interpersonal relationship we had built just doesn’t remain the same when people leave.

        People in today’s world put money above human relationships. Families are torn apart by living thousands of miles apart from each other. Friendships are sour, temporary or non-existent because nobody stays in place long enough to form them.

        Money itself is not evil. The LOVE of money has a strong detrimental impact on the human psyche. We are witnessing that today.

            No human can completely fulfill another person. Men know this and don’t expect it. Women don’t know this and do expect it.

  24. BackRowHeckler April 19, 2024 at 11:33 am #

    Yup, this is exactly what happened in Sweden. 25 years of a ‘Feminist Domestic Policy’, a ‘Feminist Foreign Policy’, and hardcore 3rd Wave Feminism that dominates political policy to this day, turned Swesish Men into spineless eunuchs The result is Swedish cities overrun with African & Muslim street gangs, giving the country the highest murder rate in Europe, & Swedish women having to travel to Argentina & Brazil to find men who aren’t P-Whipped and would make suitable husbands.

    A sorry state of affairs.

    • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 12:17 pm #

      If policy can turn men into girls they weren’t very manly to begin with.

      Interestingly, the only female prime minister Sweden has ever had only lasted for less than a year, and the policies you decry had been in place for decades before she showed up.

      Why did all these MEN do that to men? Turn them into girls? Is it their mothers’ fault?

      • Jarek April 19, 2024 at 1:20 pm #

        Because they hate men in some case. Or in others, they hate the men of another culture and have used women to destroy them.

        Some men have taken issue with the Muslim gangs grooming their daughters. The State arrests them and lets the gang continue on. The Feminist powerbrokers of Europe LOVE Muslims. In Sweden they campaign wearing hijabs…..

        The State and its goons are the alpha male. They have the firepower. No individual male can stand toe to toe with them, no matter how masculine he is.

    The trans agenda is coming from the top.

    Batshit crazy men who larp as women, are allowed to do so by the Establishment, not women.
    The propaganda, the laws, DEI, corporations, courts, the police, prison authorities, media style books, schools and universities, mental health authorities, the medical conglomerate, Big Pharma….they all enforce the completely ridiculous belief that humans have a gendered soul that can accidentally be trapped in the wrong sexed body.

    Women didn’t invent this. We are just the ones most affected by having men in our private spaces, our bathrooms, our locker rooms, our showers, our prison cells, our rape centers, our barracks, and our sports.
    It is just as ridiculous to blame women for what is being imposed on them from the top, as it is to believe in the New Trans Catechism. They’re both irrational beliefs.

      Women are it biggest enablers in our institutions as Rowdy always says. Men may have come up with it – as do most everything, right? But women are the foot soldiers of this one.

    • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 1:48 pm #

      But many women, many powerful women are TOLERATING this miscreant behavior by deranged, crazy men.

      Don’t you see this?

      If women would stand up and say enough to this it would stop.

      A dude pretending to be a female swimmer wouldn’t be an issue of the rest of the women refused to swim until the dick bearer got out of the pool. Don’t you get it?

      Women are their worst enemy right now. They gotta pull their heads out. If only they knew the true power they held with men and utilized that power as it was designed to be utilized.

      • Paula D April 20, 2024 at 12:15 pm #

        Yes, I see that many women are tolerating and even encouraging this.
        But I see it not as male and female, but as slave and not-slave.

        Most people, male or female, do what their owners tell them to do.
        Some people internalize the rationale and do it willingly.
        Some people realize it’s bullshit, but go along to get alone.
        Very few people are willing to risk their job to stand up to it.
        And since the trans agenda is coming from the top down, there is a very real risk of losing your job.
        There is a very real risk of facing ostracism. There is a very real risk of threats of rape and violence, and a risk of physical harm.
        And women are socialized to “Be kind” more than men. We are also trained to be submissive, especially to men. So if women put up with men beating them in their sports, even going as far as to applaud them when they win (!), I attribute that to indoctrination and peer pressure.

        Not many people are willing to go against the Establishment, and the violent mobs who enforce their edicts.
        It may be true that more men are willing than women, but the truth is that most of what men face is the stupidity of using personal pronouns.
        It is the women who face naked men in their locker rooms. It is women who have violent men in their prison cells.
        And so on. I listed where men are now allowed already.

        Do you really think that women initiated this? Do you really think that women rewrote the laws and the style books and the curriculum?

        That’s batshit crazy.

          Paula D, are you familiar with Jennifer’s Newsletter at Substack by Jennifer Bilek? She started it in 2022 writing about transgenderism and the synthetic sex industry. Reading her articles has been an education.

          I’d heard of Jennifer Pritzker and Rachel Levine, but not Martine Rothblatt. Bilek did a long story on the former Stephen Rothblatt, who is one of the billionaires behind transgenderism, synthetic sexes, and transhumanism. The vision these guys have for humanity is frightening.

          • Paula D April 20, 2024 at 2:59 pm #

            Yes, Jennifer Bilek is really following the money.

            I saw an enraging quote by Rothblatt on Facebook yesterday, but when I just tried to google it, all I got was Stunning and Brave articles about him, including the most enraging
            “Meet the highest paid CEO in America”.
            Man puts on a dress, becomes highest paid woman. Like Lia Thomas puts on a one piece swimsuit and becomes the best women’s swimmer. Etc., etc., etc. The entire Establishment is in on this outrage.

            And there are people who think that women initiated this?
            Sure, dudes.

    Wow, I’m really surprised to see how many on this board readily foist the blame for today’s dystopian-leaning sociopathic agenda on ‘batshit crazy women.’ How about blaming it on the power-hungry sociopaths and no one reining them in? On top of which, as JHK noted, a lot of the men of today have allowed themselves to essentially become eunichs. I often have the thought these days, ‘where are the men of my husband’s and father’s ilk?’ – Few and far between! – A few years ago I was confronting two men (past middle age) who were on my property without my permission and they whipped out their phones: ‘Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!’ – OMG! Weak and pathetic… And I’m a small woman so it wasn’t like I was going to physically kick the living daylights out of them (although someone smarter than me has said that ‘it’s not a person’s size – it’s all in the motivation)…

    At any rate, Deep State’s been working on their military-grade indoctrination agenda since at least the 40’s, so let’s not forget that it’s the elected and unelected sociopaths of both sexes who are to blame. In order to fight this assault on our freedom we need to question everything, take what actions we can to subvert attempts at further centralization, and remain vigilant. None of us has the luxury to go soft.

    • JohnAZ April 19, 2024 at 12:28 pm #

      Yup!

    • Jarek April 19, 2024 at 1:27 pm #

      Yes, the phone is an essential weapon. Many men have been attacked by their wives or girlfriends and whipped out their phone to defend themselves.

      Obviously you can’t hit back. But what if she punches herself in the face afterwards and then says you did it? At least you have her on camera attacking you.

      So you’re basically wrong. And yes, men are physically abused at about the same rate women are. Emotional abuse? Much higher.

      • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 1:50 pm #

        But men don’t report it because if they do they are cast as “pussies” or “wimps.” Women report they are heralded as brave victims.

        Such a double standard.

        The leading causes of death in many countries of our young men is suicide. Why is that? Do the wamin care?

        Not one goddamed bit. Nothing is said of it. Nobody gives a rat’s ass about your young men. They are cannon fodder, joke fodder, and fodder for a women to financially destroy after she uses her vagina to lure him into her snares.

        God help us.

        • River April 19, 2024 at 2:30 pm #

          I feel that I’m too young to be opining about the ‘good old days,’ but I am nostalgic for the time when, in general, men actually liked woman and wanted to discuss things as friends… Thankfully there still are a few of them around.

          As far as I’m concerned anyone who uses his/her phone in an attempt to intimidate others into letting them get their way is weak. And then when the person whose privacy is being disrupted attempts to block the phone the perps cry with a gleam in their eye, ‘Assault!’ What a bunch of pansies. – Not to mention that Deep State is thrilled that citizens assist them in spying on you and keeping you in ‘your place.’ –

          Too many adults use them as pacifiers. If the grid goes down won’t miss ’em. I leave mine in a faraday bag most of the day, certainly don’t carry it around everywhere so that I can be tracked 24/7.

            My best days are when I accidentally “forget” my phone. I’m free. Nobody can contact me and if they really need to reach me they have to work hard at it to do so. No texts. No pings. No notifications. If it weren’t for my job and my children I’d never carry the cursed thing around. I, afterall, was one of the lucky ones who grew up without a cell phone. I said good bye to my mother in the morning, went out and raised hell, and came home for dinner before going out again to raise more hell. I had a great childhood. I wish my children experienced youth the way that I did.

          @Jarek, A close family member was physically abused by his wife, a typical grifter type whose clutches he fell into when he was young and naive and he stopped to help her change a tire. She felt free to hit him with any and every object that came to hand, some of which could have killed him. He never reported it to any authority, partly from shame and partly because she was a pathological liar and would undoubtedly have accused him of something. I’ve been told of similar situations by other men, and have known personally of several. So – whatever the figures are, I doubt if they tell the whole story.

        • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 3:28 pm #

          My brother married a snotty little harpy from Germany. Quite often when I would see him he would have large bruises on his arms, shoulders and neck. I once asked him what those bruises were from he said his wife likes to pinch him. That is one hell of a pinch that results in a bruise the size of a 50 cent piece. That was the last time we talked about it.

  27. Rowdypiglet April 19, 2024 at 12:01 pm #

    Today’s post is most appreciated.

    I temped in offices for many years when I was single, and later after I married. It gave me great flexibility so that I could be home to take care of things and also bring in extra money when it was convenient. We lived in a suburban university town where there were a vast number of banks, insurance firms, corporate offices, etc. I worked in most of them. The women our host is describing were endemic. They ran everything, everywhere, either overtly or covertly from the HR office (women only, intense hothouse atmosphere). Men were afraid of them, and the few sane women kept a low profile.

    These were, in my experience, the most miserable human beings on the face of the earth. Their unhappiness was palpable, and poisoned the atmosphere in such a way that any sensitive person felt overwhelmed by it. The places were full of undercurrents, plots against particular people who somehow ran afoul of these harpies, and plots within plots. I’ve mentioned before that the more these women get of what they claim to want, the angrier and more unhappy they are. So what is the problem?

    I’d say that they’ve been convinced that they want something, or SHOULD want something, that they actually don’t want. And they’ve been sufficiently shamed and indoctrinated from an early age, mostly by other women, to despise any traditional role to the extent that they don’t dare consider whether they would want such a life even in the privacy of their own thoughts. That’s not to say that there aren’t women who genuinely long to sit in an office all day, but if we were all really choosing the lives we want and are suited for, I suspect there would be few – and, perhaps more importantly, their numbers would be small enough that their excesses would be under control.

    We’ve propagated the myth that, before feminism, women led unfulfilling lives; this is a lie. I know this from having bothered to listen to the stories of my grandparents as I grew up, and of other, older people, all my life. I have a lot of family pictures, one of which was taken outside in the safe, friendly, clean, middle class Philadelphia neighborhood in which my family lived in the 1930s. All the Mamas of our street were posing with their babies and young children on the steps of our family house. All were neatly dressed and smiling at each other, enjoying the sunshine. The kids played outside on the steps and in the yards, and if someone fell down and skinned their knees, these were the Mamas who would all come running out of their clean, well run, comfy houses to pick you up and comfort you with love and cookies. They made and enjoyed the cozy nests that their families loved to come home to. The idea that these women were somehow oppressed and secretly miserable at being unable to be bank tellers or typists is simply grotesque. I’m not claiming this was everyone’s life; that’s never the case. But it was in no way uncommon.

    • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 12:28 pm #

      There have been women working in low-level clerical jobs long before second-wave feminism or even many of our suburbs.

      Yes, it was oppressive when good-paying jobs were off limits to women because of their sex.

      What about women who never got asked to be married, women who couldn’t have kids, women whose husband died or left them, or women who just never found someone they wanted to marry?

      They were just as pressured to fit the mold, weren’t they?

      • RD3 April 19, 2024 at 12:53 pm #

        Homely (or devout) women can join a convent. Of course there are bad husbands, absent husbands, dead husbands, etc. That is why you live among your extended family and join a church. They are there to help you. How did you not know this?

        • Jarek April 19, 2024 at 1:30 pm #

            Thank you. Theresa of Avila was said to be one of the most beautiful women in Europe. No one who saw her ever forgot her.

            To be that feminine, there must be an increased masculine component to support it, as per the contraries. Pretty pe se is feminine. To be beautiful requires a bit more. As Poe said it in his hyper-romantic way – the influx of the “strange”.

            Enraged by the Muslims, as a young women she dressed up as a young man and tried to march off to the Crusades.

      • Rowdypiglet April 19, 2024 at 3:26 pm #

        Beryl, if you accept the belief, as they did, that the natural condition of men and women is to marry and raise a family, then yes – they were pressured, not to fit a mold, but to obtain for themselves what most people thought was a desirable life. Families wanted what was best for their loved ones and, whether you agree or not, marriage and family was their idea of “best”.

        In my own family, long before my birth when the family was large and closely knit together, there were numerous unmarried women, childless women, widows (unmarried men as well). They lived within the extended family and often cared for the children of their relatives. They were loved and valued.

        As for the low level clerical and other jobs, with the exception of unmarried young women who helped support their parents’ households, wives usually worked not from choice but from necessity.

        “What about women who never got asked to be married, women who couldn’t have kids, women whose husband died or left them, or women who just never found someone they wanted to marry?” — Beryl

        That’s not a woman problem, that’s a human problem.

        Feminists like to go and on about the bad ole days, where women were oppressed in many ways. But since we’re playing the “whatabout” card, what about men in those supposedly men-friendly days? About 60% of all men died virgins, and not because they all got killed in tribal wars. (Though that itself was a dire problem, obviously.)

        Wealth was even more concentrated then, and there were far fewer men than now with limited resources. Women wisely avoided such men because their entire life was built on having kids, having the resource support of able (financial, physical) men to rear them, and having at least a few of their kids survive long enough to take care of them (the women) if they made it to middle-age or beyond.

        And the culture strictly enforced this. Hence, family and community chaperones, arranged marriages, and severe punishment for ‘wayward’ men.

        “Go to war to protect others’ families, but don’t yourselves dare to think of fucking”, was the heavy-handed message.

        • RD3 April 19, 2024 at 10:49 pm #

          Yes. Visit an old cemetery. Look at the headstones. In a heavily industrial / mining area of the country, like my area, most men never made it to 60, while most women lived into their 70’s, 80’s, or beyond. The men had dangerous jobs, like steel work, or mining and they died young.

    This issue is about 40 years overdue in the black community. Feminism has replaced jim crow. I have come to despise feminism. It’s like a learned, tolerant beyond reason weakness and a learned distortion of reality. I recall several months ago looking at a youtube short. A bodega owner wanted to reward rarely seen good behavior from some black school kids who as the short played out, you realized were siblings. The sisters came to the counter with candy, gum, chips, treats for themselves. The young boy, without prompting came to the counter with a couple of bags of beans and rice, he was thinking about the survival of the group. I shared and commented to a friend, this boy probably has a challenged home, probably no adult male figure in his life The male traits of reason,
    selfcontrol,are seen as suspect in a culture the has been dysfunctional and weak made that way by our “helpers”. Looked how they helped Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago. Look at the breathtaking incompetence of the DEI “leaders”.

        I think thug culture is a subset of the same dysfunctional feminism. There is no functional adult male (by design) to counter that poison that is being used as a babysitter. You can pass govt mandated programs all you want. Listen to all kinds of experts, 60 years of evidence, there is NOTHING to replace intact functional,values driven families and culture. 20 Billion dollars with all kinds of experts didn’t erase homelessness in California.

          This is a truth that is voiced repeatedly by two “invulnerable”, impossible to be racist, BLACK men, Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell. Mr. Sowell in particular emphasizes what happened to black families after LBJ’s Great Society handout.

          • RD3 April 19, 2024 at 9:41 pm #

            Larry Elder seems like a decent guy. Thomas Sowell seems to have some fine qualities, but as his core, he can’t admit to black failures. He still thinks blacks misbehave because they learned it from living in close proximity to white rednecks. He’s never moved beyond this thesis.

          Jarek, I think you believe them when you’re very young. Later on, especially if (as I did) you encounter a nest of these creatures, you develop discernment and immunity. I had to move and leave no forwarding address, but I was aware that a few of these predators disguised as “victims” made every attempt to locate me. I guess they felt they hadn’t yet entirely drained me of all resources, both emotional and material, and didn’t want to miss out. I can say that the experience ultimately had value, because my spidey sense is quiveringly sensitive. I can spot one across a crowded room.

    • Rowdypiglet April 19, 2024 at 12:43 pm #

      Anyone who has worked with disturbed, out of control children in an institutional setting will notice how desperately they need the kind of boundaries usually set by fathers. These places are dominated by women now. The first thing you might notice is that there is no acknowledgment of reality. You are ALWAYS to tell a child with an IQ of 40 that he/she can do anything they put their mind to. The problem is that, even with an IQ of 40, they have proof every moment of their lives that that statement is a lie. It’s hard to convey the rage that results from this idiocy. You have to actually see a not very strong 8 year old tearing kitchen cabinets off the wall with his bare hands. From the point of view of the women who have told him he can master something that’s way beyond him, they’re being kind and encouraging – honesty doesn’t come into it. The goal is to make the child feel good; the emotions in the moment are all that matter.

      • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 1:03 pm #

        A lot of parents make the mistake of inadvertently teaching kids that their perpetual happiness is not just attainable, but that it’s the parents’ responsibility to make it happen.

        The kids don’t need the kind of boundaries set by fathers as much as they need the kind of fathers who set those boundaries.

          The key word that kids have not had taught to them by dads is

          “NO”.

          • GreenAlba April 19, 2024 at 1:29 pm #

            A lot of dads can’t say no to themselves.

          • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 3:22 pm #

            I stated above that the word “NO” is the easiest word in the english language and it also conveys the most powerful meaning. Another commentor stated that her/his father always tried to say “yes” but when he said “no” he meant it.

            Women, by their natures, are appeasers. They want to please everyone. Saying “no” for them is not as simple as it is for a man.

            And so it is with our Government. Our Government, as it has become more and more feminized over the decades cannot say “no” to any pet project. So, we now send millions to study the effect of a human foot on cryptobiotic soils instead of sending millions to build an effective border wall.

            No. Say it ladies. NO! It’s easy to do and it packs quite a wallop!

          • Jarek April 20, 2024 at 1:59 pm #

            They have no interest in appeasing men most of the time. The closer to them, the less interest they have. But non-Whites and immigrants? Of course! Virtue signaling is second nature to women, their fallen selves on display.

      I think that thug culture is also encouraged from the top. Look at the difference between black music before, and after, the 90s.

      One rapper (I can’t remember his name) testified that he was told by a music producer that they were going to switch the black music to encourage violence. He refused to go along, so he didn’t get a contract.

      Mothers are at a loss to compete with the culture of the streets, trying to raise the kids.
      I assume that fathers also have problems. Add to that that the people reproducing today were brought up in that culture, so they just pass it along without thinking.
      I saw a video of some bratty little punk kicking a cop, while his parents stood there and let him.
      That was a few years ago. I’m guessing that child is gang banging big time by now.

          Like Trump, both Bibi and Hamas have kept power by inspiring and riding waves of hostility to “the other.”

    Despite protestations, the author of the Kelly Turnbull series, Kurt Schlichter, is often amazed A(as he tells us), that so much of what he writes as fiction, soon comes true in reality.

    Case in point is today’s post about bat-shit crazy women. There is in fact a scene in ‘The Split’ (Schlichter’s 5th Turnbull book) wherein “a dozen nude middle-aged women sat in the middle of Chauncey Street shrieking. It was not coordinated shrieking; instead each one was shrieking in her own way. And it was unclear why. They were just doing it, in the middle of rush hour. Cars were backed up in each direction”.

    One brother wrote of being divorced by his wife. When he went to church, everybody was hugging her and asking her if she was alright. He was ignored, an utter pariah.

    She was one the one divorcing him yet she got ALL of the sympathy and he was unpersoned.

    So of course he left that church or perhaps all churches.

      You keep bringing up this nonsensical argument.

      If a man cheats on his wife or spends his life watching porn, or is abusive, and she divorces him, you somehow think it reflects badly on her for not putting up with his egregious behaviour.

      Maybe you know why the ‘brother’ was being divorced by his wife. If you do, you should have said so. If you don’t, then maybe consider that the huggers knew something about his behaviour that you don’t and the ‘brother’ isn’t telling. The fact is you just don’t know.

      • Jarek April 19, 2024 at 11:18 pm #

        But you do? In your defense, I just read women bring only 60% of the divorces in Britain. So it’s not so out of balance there.

        • Mac April 20, 2024 at 4:20 am #

          Jarek- I once read that in Britain men frequently get custody of the kids in divorce, which would explain the lower incidence of woman-instigated divorce.

          • GreenAlba April 20, 2024 at 6:59 am #

            The woman’s income will be taken into account, as well as the man’s, and she will be the one paying child maintenance, if he’s got the children and she earns enough. Whether it’s the man or the woman who’s paying the maintenance, a portion of their salary is untouchable. That portion was made bigger a few decades ago, when men’s rights types started complaining that they couldn’t manage to keep their first and second families.

            My ex-husband was ordered to pay me a total of £3/week towards the keep of his two children. And that’s all he paid, although he could have voluntarily paid more (he’d been paying £25/week for about a year until they changed the amount of his pay that was protected.

          • Jarek April 21, 2024 at 1:03 pm #

            Good point, Mac. Tempt not thy sister for she will fall.

          • GreenAlba April 21, 2024 at 5:54 pm #

            Mac: I wouldn’t say it was frequent. Most men do not want custody of the children, as it would affect their ability to do their job properly. Women are more used to working around their children when they have a job – they’re the ones expected to take time off when the kids are sick and to sort out cover during school holidays, not their father.

            If you’re pointing out that women are requesting a lower percentage of the divorces (I have no idea of the actual percentages) then remember it’s a percentage, not a number of divorces. What you’re saying is that men are requesting more of the divorces. There’s another side to every coin.

        • GreenAlba April 20, 2024 at 6:53 am #

          No I don’t know. I never said I did. Neither of us knows unless your man told you (and told you the truth), which is the point.

          People divorce their spouse mostly for their bad behaviour, including cheating. So it’s ludicrous to talk about anyone’s divorce without knowing the cause. And mostly, it’s none of our business, at a personal level.

          • Jarek April 20, 2024 at 2:02 pm #

            American women use tiktoc as a confessional and talk about how bored they are in marriage and how they have to find themselves. Open marriage is now a big thing too. The awakened male response is not no, but immediate divorce since she probably already has some one in mind and will just cheat behind his back.

            So we do know in many cases, at least o’er here.

          • GreenAlba April 20, 2024 at 2:25 pm #

        Well, OG, victims of war always happen, but my mind is unchanged.

There is no way that they are going to be defeated, so let’s get it over with. War is to be won by winners, Palis are losers, they will lose. If they just keep it up, they are responsible for the collateral damage.

          Why is it called a war?

          It seems to me that one very powerful military, backed by foreign capital and supplied with high-tech weapons is genociding thousands of innocent men, women, and children after they have pushed or ensured that they cannot leave densely populated centers.

          There are thousands of hours of footage of said military not just murdering said civilians, but also playing games with them before they murder them, like a cat with a mouse.

          It does make me wonder how one can unsee such images, or write them off as inconsequential or just part of a “war” that only one side seems capable of fighting.

          • KappaJoe April 19, 2024 at 10:14 pm #

            True, a “war” is usually between or among equals or near equals. The current Mideast doings are seriously lopsided. Stop the killing and maiming already—a head for an eye and both upper and lower jaw for a tooth just feeds more outrage and revenge (but perhaps that’s the intent).

      • Socrates-Detroit April 19, 2024 at 6:38 pm #

        Yes, “victims of war happen.”

        Spoken like a true American. No American, in the US, has experienced war as a civilian since 1865, and then, only if he or she lived in the Confederacy.

        As @crudgemudgeon wrote in the first comment (it is excellent, so I reprint it here):

        Moral relativism is the pliable belief system that allows the moving of boundaries to suit one’s agenda. There is no hard and fast right and wrong. It’s relative.

        That is Israel, in a nutshell. A pliable belief system. Situational ethics.

        Since European Germans killed many (but obviously not all) European Jews (and the Germans killed more European non-Jews, who are never mentioned),

        this gives Jews the right remove Palestinians from their land in 1948, and then, to invade and occupy them in 1967, and to confiscate most of their land in the West Bank or keep them on a “starvation diet” in Gaza.

        Since the poor Jews are victims, anything they do is fine. Many of them (and some of you) believe this.

        Since the Israeli Lobby is so powerful in the US, Israel can do as it wishes. That’s why all three Presidential candidates all are so pro-Israel.

        The Israeli Lobby is interlinked the financial lobby (big capital), though I can’t tell who is first. The Israeli Lobby is interlinked with the military industrial complex. Those are the three biggest parasites subsisting off the American body politic.

        With Big Pharma–the mRNA shots that get so much bad press here, that were forced on many people. The health insurance lobby. All of these lobbies are interlinked–‘you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours’.

        All these parasites are killing the US.

        One cannot blame the parasitic lobbies directly for the millions of foolish individual actions taken by Americans, like choosing to eat crap and get fat, borrowing to get stuff they don’t need to impress people they don’t know. Getting knocked up without thinking, and bringing children into a bad or non-existent environment, or worse aborting them.

        The parasitic lobbies encourage and promote bad choices for individuals, because poor individual choices enrich them.

        The Israeli Lobby impedes any honest discussion of the Middle East, or an honest assessment of whether or not Israeli crimes against the Palestinians really serve the US national interest.

        $4.5 million in Israeli Lobby money to Joe Biden, 1994-2016. Just one person. Senators Hillary Clinton, Menendez, McConnell, Rubio, Schumer, and so forth also got big bucks.

        $400 million in just Adelson money to Trump AND the Republican Party, 2016-2020. That’s just ONE wealthy Jew (and rabid Iran-hater).

        Yep, Israel owns the US. And Israel, possibly even more than the Ukraine, is going to be the lead weight that breaks the US camel’s back.

        But until that happens, “victims of war always happen”. OK.

      • benr April 19, 2024 at 7:05 pm #

        As long as Hamas is running the Palestinians they are losers period end of story.
        They did not learn their lesson when they put the PLO in power nor when their young men were used as mobile bombs and the families were paid 10k-25k by Iraq.
        In April 2002, Saddam Hussein increased from $10,000 to $25,000 the money offered to families of Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers. The rules for rewarding suicide/homicide bombers are strict and insist that only someone who blows himself up with a belt of explosives gets the full payment.

        The are the foot soldiers for militant Islam to be used as props and meat shields.
        This is also why Iran is interested in Palestinians and specifically Hamas.

    “Do you know why the archetypal batshit crazy women of the Democratic Party adore ‘Joe Biden’?”

    Sure. He is the Daddy avatar (elderly and failing and clueless as such is) for the ‘Daddy & Mommy State!’ that such batty broads crave love from to compensate for the deep lack of receiving real love and affection and proper life grounding from their real flesh-and-blood parents. No caring parent would ever let their offspring turn into a Lunatic Leftist and a person who is that ‘needy’ for the rest of their Earthly lives.

    “Do you wonder why… batshit crazy elite class women seem so unperturbed about the conspicuous number of rapes committed by ‘newcomers’…”

    These oversexed invaders without National legitimacy represent the ‘taking’ of a woman without the woman having to actually consent. Therefore, it’s a ‘free pass and get-out-of-jail card’ for these sex-starved loons with legs outstretched and minds vacated to ‘feel’ something without the need to actually participate or feel anything real and meaningful and truly loving. This is animal sexuality in its most raw and brutal and empty form. And Loony Leftist Broads are actually that desperate to feel… anything (inside and out)… so they welcome the attention.

    “… moral codes derive generally from the supervision of fathers… these codes are archetypally re-enacted and enforced by men in the greater social matrix.”

    That’s why the War on Men… particularly all-out war on Men Not Of ‘Color!’. White males have been the leadership heart of the Western Civilization family and civilization for uncounted generations. And with stated goal of the Dark Deep State to fully erase men from any useful participation in the society of the future… actual ‘men’ had to go. And most of all, Men Not of ‘Color!’.

    Look at the most progressive and stable societies in recent memory and they all have been anchored by Men-Not-Of-Color. This is most certainly not to say that there are not many men ‘Of-Color’ who are also family-oriented and who contribute something positive to society. But if one is keeping an honest score-card… it is Men Not Of ‘Color’ who are going to win that total. One quick look into what used to be called the ghettos of America will quickly bear that out. And apologies to all those ‘Sensitives’ or ‘Triggered-People’ out there if this offends you. But facts are facts. And time is short. And truth must be spoken into the short window we have left to express truth before the Dark State shuts that down for good. And before all Men-Not-Of-Color are fully drowned out of existence by Cancerous Wokeism and Out-Of-Control jokester Wokesters.

    “… the Democratic Party of our time as run by the batshit crazy women…”

    And there is only one reason why this is so. The Men-Of-The-Dark-State want this to be so and let this atrocity happen. Batty-Leggy-Lefty-Loons think They are in charge. They have no idea how wrong They are and what foolish tools They actually are in this campaign to wipe the best of Western Civilization fully off the Earth.

    And besides… you should know just ‘what’ and how much ‘stuff’ gets left behind and piled high by large groups of… Crazy Bats. The Left-Outs of honest and useful civilization.

      Yet you see them in the ads, such devoted and loving fathers, powerful providers.

      But remember and be aware. Just as the Left is afraid of Trump, many men are now challenged if not actually afraid of the capabilities of women.

        It is almost comical to see some of the situations that Blacks have been written in to in commercials these days. These commercials have clearly been written by Whites in their tone and content. But to satisfy the wretched and weaponized ‘Diversity’ program of American social wreckage these Blacks are placed into forced, clearly Lily White-ified situations that have nothing to do with traditional Black culture or ways of thinking.

        No one with any sense would argue with the notion that for a long time Blacks have not had the opportunities in America that they should have. But that is no longer the case today. In fact, Deep State has weaponized Blacks into now reaching an elevated state within American society.

        On regular television these days… one can routinely flip the channels up and down the remote and see a constant stream of Non-Whites looking back at them. I have done this myself several times. And in one instance (but not the only one) I reached ten successive channels in a row and saw nothing but dark faces every time. Psy-Op Social Agenda by someone, much? Ya think?

        Of course Blacks have a place on TV and other media. But not ALL places in them.

        And it’s not just media. Talk to White Males in the workplace and the treatment they are getting from the vast majority of Human Resources Departments across America. In short.. In many workplaces today it is a hopeless endeavor for a White male to be hired… or if by some miracle still employed there… to be considered for promotion even when they are the most qualified.

        But since Merit no longer matters in ‘The Indispensable Nation!’… this standard of blatant unfairness has now been normalized and codified.

        I honesty thought we were all done with this Race Thing (the contention among the races) after our great-grandfather’s generation had moved on. Hardy, har har. The Deep State had other ideas and worked to re-weaponize racial conflict in America for their own pathological and sick purposes.

        As a spiritual person I believe in the true and real equality of all individuals as we are all aspects of Divinity. But I also can recognize the sledgehammer of a sick social Psy-Op when I see one… an agenda to permanently demonize and displace and disempower Whites as part of an overall program of sick social engineering for the benefit of those who actually hate ALL of humanity of every color.

        Blacks are being used today by sinister Hidden Hand-ordered techniques for agendas that will one day be turned back against Blacks as well as is currently being done to Persons Not Of Color.

        We don’t need any ‘superior’ race on this Planet. We need to honor our shared humanity… and know who our real enemies are.

          I don’t watch much TV these days, but there are times, on a local news broadcast, when every segment will be filled with a litany of ghetto deprivations in Hartford, New Haven & Bridgeport — carjackings, home invasions, street takeovers, auto theft, stabbings and shootings, beatings, arson fires, rapes, assaults … you name it, intersected by commercials showing the same people hawking financial instruments or life insurance … driving a new Volvo into the driveway of their well appointed suburban McMansion, with two neatly groomed kids, an Irish setter, and a lovely wife greeting him at the door. Its like a bad case of cognitive dissonance has infected broadcast studios.

    “It is the way of Homo Sapiens that moral codes derive generally from the supervision of fathers in the upbringing of human young and later on as children develop into adults.”

    This is one big issue, the origins of moral behavior, that JHK is grappling with.

    Just to throw out an alternative, more anthropological hypothesis– having to do with more antecedent events then the important role of Big Daddy.

    Morality may have began, instead, with having a conscience snd that conscience began with a systematic but initially non-moralistic social control by groups that involved direct punishment of individual deviants–the demand that meat be divided according to rules rather than allowing a few Alph males to hog the meat or monopolize a medium sized carcass and then to make sure that all share in the proceeds equally (talking about events that maybe happened 250.000 years ago). See writings of Christopher Boehm.

    The rules individuals internalize are the cultural products of groups that gossip moralistically on an ongoing basis. That’s an alternative hypothesis on how moral codes may have originated–never underestimate the role of good ole group gossip.

      Pastor Doug Wilson has an interesting discussion with Tucker in which he makes the case that morality is different for different groups.

      This supports Jarek’s argument of the need for “birds of a feather flock together”, which it appears that the open border advocates and 2030 Agenda architects are unable to comprehend.

      I suppose they intend to utilize Xi’s model, and send all the mis-fits off to the re-education camp.

            It’s both. But God help the People who forget about the lower morality of putting your own People first. They are not long for this world.

            Christ said, Go out and teach all men. Did you say bring them IN? We helped. The missionaries helped create nations. And because of their help, those nations over-bred. But that’s another discussion. My point: We had a balance of both moralities, but the Globos used our universal Christian morality to destroy our natural love of our own People. Soon we won’t be able to help anybody. You have to exist to help people, right?

    • Anthea April 20, 2024 at 3:08 am #

      @ jim:

      I think it’s fairly obvious that basic morality is absolutely essential for a group’s survival–and, secondarily, for its prosperity.

      This is kind of a duh. In a community without strong prohibitions against lying, cheating, stealing, and killing there will be little or no productivity, because, if you produce anything, your labor products will be stolen–or simply destroyed. There will be little or no cooperative effort, nor will anyone make trade agreements or engage in partnerships, because you can’t trust anyone. This is why you have “food deserts” in black neighborhoods; everything get stolen. The guy working the cash register at the liquor store gets shot. There are no gas stations or drug stores.

      This is where basic morality comes from. It’s existential. Now, without business ethics in relation to outsiders, there can be no trade with other communities, which means that many opportunities for prosperity and innovation are lost.

      Now, re this whole kerfuffle about the sexes, the same rules apply. Where men are not honorable in relation to women, and vice versa, there can be no family formation, nor even a replacement rate of reproduction.

      This is as much of a “natural law” kind of thing as the natural law that says that a community where everyone goes around killing each other and stealing from each ofther cannot survive.

      Honorable relations with the opposite sex mean that sexual relations are only permissible within marriage–that is, after you have formally agreed to assume the responsibilities and obligations of procreation. This is as essential to the formation of a viable community as is the acceptance of the fact that you are going to have to pay for your groceries, rather than steal them.

      If you are unchaste, what you’re doing is stealing the goods without paying for them. A viable community cannot allow unchastity, any more than it can allow people to rob the gas station, hold up the bank, or steal from the retail store.

      So, guys, that means that you may not solicit sex outside marriage, and that you must have honorable intentions towards women.

      I think that the fact that men have had almost universally dishonorable intentions towards women for several decades now, accounts for a lot of women’s contempt for men. This sort of behavior means that you are not a protector of women and children, but rather a predator, and a person who is willing to undermine their community.

      The woman you treat dishonorably is your neighbor’s sister or daughter. That means you can’t stick your hand down her pants.

      Shit, try acting like a man, and you might find that women would have a more positive opinion of you.

        Great post, overall.

        I was with you until “I think that the fact that men have had almost universally dishonorable intentions towards women for several decades now, accounts for a lot of women’s contempt for men.

        Somehow, after all of the measured reasoning above that, the whole thing came back to men being at fault for “womens’ contempt for them”.

        Have you seen TikTok or Instagram? Women are gleefully encouraging each other to be dishonorable slabs of meat, on display for the entire world. This rests on us all, no matter the sex. It’s the decline of moral integrity across the board. No accountability for men, no accountability for women, the end result is the same.

        But I agree with everything else you put forth.

    Not to mention a whole different category of crazy: The Cat Lady. Many of them, too, have blue or purple hair. Their name is usually Karen, and they sit on the board of your local HOA. Have a 3rd car in your driveway? Your lawn is 1″ too long? An unauthorized American flag hanging off your front door? Expect a visit from Karen, who lives with 9 cats and spends her free time studying the HOA rulebook. Karen is a stickler for the rules; she’ll bust your balls, threaten to levy fines, show you who’s boss. And don’t argue with Karen she has no problem calling the police and reporting you for assault and attempted rape.

    • Cankerpuss April 19, 2024 at 5:06 pm #

      Boy are you correct. I live in a subdivision with an HOA that requires two trees in the front yard. One of my trees died and I had it removed. I replaced it by planting two Bur Oak acorns in the spot where the other tree once stood. The acorns germinated and began to grow. Next thing I know I get a letter from the neighborhood HOA telling me I was in violation of the two trees edict. Our HOA board is 5 women, 2 men. I wrote back, sent pictures of the baby Bur Oak that is now about 1 foot tall and told them that I comply as Bur Oaks will one day grow to be mighty trees. I shut that HOA board up pretty fast. Felt good.

      • JohnAZ April 19, 2024 at 5:22 pm #

          • Anthea April 20, 2024 at 3:51 am #

            There was a landowners’ association in the town I used to live in. My understanding is that the original covenants of the community, which had been formed around 1970, called for such an organization, but that it had either never existed or had been short-lived, due to the bankruptcy of the original developers. (It was a failed real-estate development.)

            A few years before I moved there, a group of people decided to reconstitute the landowners’ association. As far as I could tell, the only reason they did so was so that they could levy what was essentially an additional tax on the residents, which they used mainly to provide themselves and their relatives with paid jobs. It also gave them a certain amount of political clout over the city government.

            They were really just a bunch of grifters. Some of the funds collected by the landowners’ association were allocated–at their discretion–to the city, for things like maintaining the roads. That meant they had a lot of control over city government, which they used to their personal advantage. (If the city government didn’t do as they were told, funds would be withheld.)

            These people were pure grifters.

            They weren’t into being Karens. The association was made up of both men and women, by the way. They were interested in gaining certain financial opportunities, paying themselves a regular paycheck, and exempting themselves from things like traffic tickets or property maintenance tickets.

            One of my neighbors–who was on the landowners’ association–was able to buy a house very cheaply from the landowners’ association. It was auctioned off for many years of non-payment of landowners’ association dues. I was told that the auction was kept pretty much of a secret, so he, my neighbor, could buy the place cheap–I am guessing for as little as $10,000.

    Young men today are in a world of trouble.

    77% of suicides are men.

    92% of men perform high-danger jobs.

    Men, of course, are on the front lines of every stupid, imperialist war.

    Over 80% of those incarcerated are men.

    Over 80% of the homeless are men.

    Half of all violence one sex to the other is committed by women. That can be further subdivided into kinds of violence. Women’s violence towards men is far more emotional in nature, while men’s violence towards women is more physical (though only in severity, not amount). And studies are now more numerous that show that emotional violence is far more devastating — short- and long-term — than is physical violence. So the bottom line is that violence is more severe woman-to-man than the reverse.

    Who/what is to blame? Many strands. Here’re a few:

    Women are hypergamous. Yet they’ve put themselves into a trap, and put men in a no-win position. Women have been scolding men for decades into becoming more gentle, more agreeable, more sensitive, to talk with them more, to defer. IOW, they want men to be ersatz women. Men have complied, so why are women still complaining? Because women, deep down, don’t want sensitive, crying men. Those men actually disgust them. Women, most often, are confused. Hence, women’s fantasies and desires to be overpowered by men, to be taken aggressively in sex, to hear and desire men who challenge them and not put up with their manipulative tests and whining.

    Women now make up 60% of university grads, soon to be two-thirds. Men are raised kindergarten through university to sit still, to not question authority, to play nice. But that’s natural behaviour only for women. Men are naturally action-oriented, boisterous, challenging, bold. So the education system neuters them, by shame, punishment, and Ritalin. And of course, the ‘instruction’ itself is slanted and infested with Woke feminism.

    After college success, women get the better jobs, and now make more money in the aggregate. So they can’t satisfy, obviously and mathematically, their hypergamous nature. On dating apps, 90% of women go for the top 5% of men (by looks and status). The lower 50% of men get zero swipes/clicks/interest. Not only that, but those men are openly belittled, mocked, called out, and shamed.

    On that last point, men have nowhere to turn. They’ve been told all their lives to suck it up, contrasted with women, who naturally talk about their troubles, perceived or otherwise, with their women friends or support groups. Men who try to do the same are laughed at for being weak. Men’s groups are mocked with “suck it up, buttercup”, or worse, attempts are made to cancel them. So men bottle it up and give up.

    It’s amazing that men aren’t becoming more violent, but that’s the purpose of the Woke agenda: promoting no exercise, getting them to play video games and jack off to porn which jacks up the sympathetic nervous system and crashes testosterone, vaxx shots killing libido, AI girlfriends which offer a no-rejection zone to combat getting scorned when approaching and asking out average-looking women who think themselves all 10s.

    Men have never been more disposable, and no one cares, not TPTB, not the women, and not the Left, Woke ‘men’.

      SF, Awesome posts. I’ve been trying to make many of your points in numerous comments above but women like Beryl and Cactus just deride and sneer at my words.

      I have two sons and I fear for their future. I read that the highest cause of death in young men in America is suicide. Further on in that read what disturbed me the most is few there be that care. Few there be that give a damn. Women like Beryl of Oyl, in their vaunted intelligence, care nothing of this or any of the things you mentioned in your post. All she will say is what you described is “man’s fault.”

      It’s all contrary to biology. All of it. Designed by the wokesters bent on destroying humanity. Humanity cannot survive without strong men and fathers, securely in the home, helping his woman raise their children in security and sanctity.

      But every time I say this, I am derided and castigated. It’s amazing how deep the feminist brainwashing is on our women.

      Like all things the pendulum will shift swing the other direction. Men will have had enough. Well, maybe they already have. Many young men will have nothing to do with the bat shit crazy all American Girl, choosing to jerk off to porn instead. In the mean time the lonely women clamor for the few worthy males out there guaranteeing themselves a life of loneliness and an empty womb.

      I pity them.

      • Anthea April 20, 2024 at 4:23 am #

        @ Cankerpuss:

        All the young men I know have managed to marry and have kids. Most have bought houses.

        I know of only two male suicides within the past 30-40 years. Both were incarcerated at the time. One (about 35 years ago) was a young teenager in some kind of minor trouble. The other (less than a year ago) was probably around 30, with a long history of drug problems. He’d been in and out of rehab countless times and often in trouble with the law for minor offenses.

        These are pitfalls that one may reasonably hope your sons will avoid. Nor do I see any reason why they shouldn’t marry. Nobody is forcing them to marry some loony.

        It’s like the way the king advised his daughter to go about finding the handsome prince: “Kiss frogs, daughter! Kiss frogs!” I suppose this also goes for sons.

        “Mansplaining”, in particular, irritates me. It’s a phony, made-up term, like so many others, in an attempt to shame men. When that’s what men do. We like to give advice and make corrections. Yet it hurts women’s feelings because God forbid they should be wrong about something. To them, feelings are all powerful and correct, but only if your feelings accord with theirs, and feelings always trump facts, of course.

            You got all of that from a response about mansplaining.

            I’ve had my husband mansplain to me repeatedly that I’m a conspiracy theorist because I talk about covid ‘vaccines’ while he’s the one who knows about *science*.

          • Night Owl April 19, 2024 at 6:43 pm #

            You should ask your husband what he thinks of those who hold scientific credentials and talk about Covid “vaccines” being poison.

            For a scientist, I would have expected logic that would be a bit more complicated to attack.

          • GreenAlba April 19, 2024 at 7:28 pm #

            NO – he deals with those scientists by refusing to listen to them. I’ve sent him links to them over a period of nearly 3 years and he’s never clicked on a single link. He wouldn’t be able to function as a doctor if he admitted what doctors have done (even if by stupidity rather than malice), so he keeps it at bay. Thankfully he’s never been involved in the jabbing programme or things would be much worse.

            If we’re in the same room and I start listening to anything on the covid/vaxx topic, he gets up and takes himself off to another room (often, just listening to UK Column News will have the same effect!). Having said that, he’s heard enough to know that I’m not talking rubbish, but he’ll never admit it, even to himself. Interestingly, though, he’s even stopped taking the flu shot, which he had previously taken every year, because UK doctors are supposed to (medics currently down to about 25% now with the flu shot, which I think must be a record low).

            I’m fairly persistent. But for the last year or so, when I send a link that I know he’s not going to open, I paste the most important bit of the content into the actual email, so it can’t be avoided! Doesn’t work for interviews, obviously.

            He knows, at some level, but will never admit he knows. That’s why all this nonsense about men ruling the roost as of right just makes me roll my eyes. I presume those who think like that believe that if I had young children and the lord and master of the household wanted them vaxxed I’d be honour bound to get them vaxxed, as a good little wifey, deferring, as I should, to a man because he knows best simpy by having dangly bits.

            Mainsplaining is (for example) what my daughter encounters when she’s working on her car. Often some guy will drop by to offer advice that reveals that he knows exactly zero about cars. This has sometimes happened when she and her husband are both working on the car.

            Another example was when I brought a loaf of challah to a holiday party. Some guy felt the need to explain to me that it was a traditional Jewish bread.

            Women, quantitatively, are just as violent to men as are men to women, (though men’s physical violence is more severe).

            Women are far more emotionally abusive to men than the reverse. And emotional abuse is more devastating, certainly long-term, than is physical violence.

          • GreenAlba April 19, 2024 at 7:38 pm #

            “And emotional abuse is more devastating, certainly long-term, than is physical violence.’

            Not if you’re dead, it isn’t. Woman are killed every day by men.

            Emotional abuse is atrocious, whoever is committing it. And there are men who are abused by women, both emotionally and physically.

            If I had to choose, as a potential victim? I’ll take the emotional abuse over being beaten, possibly to death, thanks. Any day. I’m not frightened of emotional abuse, unpleasant as it is.

            But then, I own my own home, so it’ll never happen to me. Most women in that position don’t.

          • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2024 at 9:29 pm #

            “Not if you’re dead, it isn’t. Woman are killed every day by men.” — Green Alba

            Of all acts of violence, manslaughter or murder makes up a very small percentage.

            Emotional abuse, through financial ruin from divorce, false rape and/or abuse allegations and charges, permanent separation from children, and social ostracization and reputation destruction is much more prevalent, painful enough to last a lifetime in itself, and it causes many men to commit suicide. It’s killing by other means.

            I found that study just now via Google, Paula. No mention of the other side of stats in that article, to be sure.

            I also saw a study from a few decades ago saying women killed their male partners at about a 75% rate compared to men killing their female partners. Not exactly a stat that gets ladies off the hook…

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder April 20, 2024 at 8:33 pm #

            Also, the article study said “almost three women per day”, not “more than three women per day”…trivial, but hey, if we’re going to discuss the details…

            The one I looked at, Mango, said 3.2 women a day, but I didn’t want to put that number in because it would trigger the autists.

        But most people have other things to do. Not to mention (again) that sugar is toxic.

      Oddly, none of them seem to have anything, personally, to complain about. Several have said they’re happily married. So either they are upset about something they read online about some crazy woman in Seattle or somewhere, or their thoughts on this subject are pure fantasy.

      No doubt there are some crazy women in their neighborhood. They may even have met them–so all these fulminations may not be based on pure inventions. So…(duh)…don’t marry them. This should be especially easily avoided if you’re already married.

      None of the stuff these guys are complaining about seems to impact, or be likely to impact, their own lives. And the idea that it does impact somebody’s life, somewhere, appears to be derived from the media, and not from real life.

      • Jarek April 20, 2024 at 2:41 pm #

        That’s right. Men are able to get outside themselves far more than women can for the most part. Even if they are happily married, they can see the carnage of feminism and divorce.

        Rowdy is a happily married woman and can see it too. She’s one of the rare exceptions to the general rule.

        Knowledge is just personal experience? An extraordinary error. As has been said, experience is a dear school. But a fool will have no other. Many young men see the horror their dads, uncles, brothers, and friends have gone through and vow it will not happen to them. No marriage in the West! Not until the laws change.

  42. tucsonspur April 19, 2024 at 9:11 pm #

    Some stuff from Camille Paglia from more than ten years ago:

    If men are obsolete, then women will soon be extinct — unless we rush down that ominous Brave New World path where women clone themselves by parthenogenesis, as famously do Komodo dragons, hammerhead sharks and pit vipers.

    A peevish, grudging rancor against men has been one of the most unpalatable and unjust features of second- and third-wave feminism. Men’s faults, failings and foibles have been seized on and magnified into gruesome bills of indictment. Ideologue professors at our leading universities indoctrinate impressionable undergraduates with carelessly fact-free theories alleging that gender is an arbitrary, oppressive fiction with no basis in biology.

    Is it any wonder that so many high-achieving young women, despite all the happy talk about their academic success, find themselves in the early stages of their careers in chronic uncertainty or anxiety about their prospects for an emotionally fulfilled private life? When an educated culture routinely denigrates masculinity and manhood, then women will be perpetually stuck with boys, who have no incentive to mature or to honor their commitments. And without strong men as models to either embrace or (for dissident lesbians) to resist, women will never attain a centered and profound sense of themselves as women.

    From my long observation, which predates the sexual revolution, this remains a serious problem afflicting Anglo-American society, with its Puritan residue. In France, Italy, Spain, Latin America and Brazil, in contrast, many ambitious professional women seem to have found a formula for asserting power and authority in the workplace while still projecting sexual allure and even glamour. This is the true feminine mystique, which cannot be taught but flows from an instinctive recognition of sexual differences. In today’s punitive atmosphere of sentimental propaganda about gender, the sexual imagination has understandably fled into the alternate world of online pornography, where the rude but exhilarating forces of primitive nature rollick unconstrained by religious or feminist moralism.

    It was always the proper mission of feminism to attack and reconstruct the ossified social practices that had led to wide-ranging discrimination against women. But surely it was and is possible for a progressive reform movement to achieve that without stereotyping, belittling or demonizing men. History must be seen clearly and fairly: obstructive traditions arose not from men’s hatred or enslavement of women but from the natural division of labor that had developed over thousands of years during the agrarian period and that once immensely benefited and protected women, permitting them to remain at the hearth to care for helpless infants and children. Over the past century, it was labor-saving appliances, invented by men and spread by capitalism, that liberated women from daily drudgery.

    What is troubling in too many books and articles by feminist journalists in the U.S. is, despite their putative leftism, an implicit privileging of bourgeois values and culture. The particular focused, clerical and managerial skills of the upper-middle-class elite are presented as the highest desideratum, the ultimate evolutionary point of humanity. Yes, there has been a gradual transition from an industrial to a service-sector economy in which women, who generally prefer a safe, clean, quiet work environment thrive.

    But the triumphalism among some — like Hanna Rosin in her book, The End of Men, about women’s gains — seems startlingly premature. For instance, Rosin says of the sagging fortunes of today’s working-class couples that they and we had “reached the end of a hundred thousand years of human history and the beginning of a new era, and there was no going back.” This sweeping appeal to history somehow overlooks history’s far darker lessons about the cyclic rise and fall of civilizations, which as they become more complex and interconnected also become more vulnerable to collapse. The earth is littered with the ruins of empires that believed they were eternal.

    After the next inevitable apocalypse, men will be desperately needed again! Oh, sure, there will be the odd gun-toting Amazonian survivalist gal, who can rustle game out of the bush and feed her flock, but most women and children will be expecting men to scrounge for food and water and to defend the home turf. Indeed, men are absolutely indispensable right now, invisible as it is to most feminists, who seem blind to the infrastructure that makes their own work lives possible. It is overwhelmingly men who do the dirty, dangerous work of building roads, pouring concrete, laying bricks, tarring roofs, hanging electric wires, excavating natural gas and sewage lines, cutting and clearing trees, and bulldozing the landscape for housing developments. It is men who heft and weld the giant steel beams that frame our office buildings, and it is men who do the hair-raising work of insetting and sealing the finely tempered plate-glass windows of skyscrapers 50 stories tall.

    Every day along the Delaware River in Philadelphia, one can watch the passage of vast oil tankers and towering cargo ships arriving from all over the world. These stately colossi are loaded, steered and off-loaded by men. The modern economy, with its vast production and distribution network, is a male epic, in which women have found a productive role — but women were not its author. Surely, modern women are strong enough now to give credit where credit is due!

    We agree that Proud Mary left CFN because she could not abide by my free speech on what she viewed as her bully pulpit. But Mary is only one woman. “Many,” of course, is substantially more than one. I’ve politely asked you for a second example of your allegations against me … but off you flit like you do not owe me a clarification or an apology.

    When did this snit occur? For all you know she could be reading the blog at another source, to avoid the repetitive drivel that comes back like a rash.

    Proud Mary snitted out in about August or September 2023. Prior to snitting out, she lobbied hard to have me banned from CFN as she did not like the way I exercise my free speech. When it became apparent that she could not squelch my free speech, she snitted, said that she was leaving us and has never returned.

    As I stated upthread, it is my contention that CFN is much more professional without her bullying and trolling and drama.

    I don’t miss Proud Mary one little speck. I really doubt that she reads CFN elsewhere as her entire m.o. was all about dominating CFN. Regardless, as long as she’s not here posting her bullying, trolling and causing all sorts of repugnant unnecessary drama, CFN is all the better for it, imho.

        Eschatology is more divisive than the current debate. Are you ready for that? You may not want to be labelled a “hierophant“.

        “Zionism is proving to be a nightmare on the international scene. What if it isn’t the fulfillment of Bible prophecies regarding the regathering of the house of Israel? No one can understand the Zionist state without first knowing the history of Esau, whose descendants were known as Edomites. There are many prophecies about Edom (or Idumea) about his desire to return to the land that he lost to Jacob. These prophecies are almost entirely ignored or forgotten, because there is no longer any nation known as Edom. It disappeared after the Edomites were conquered by Judah in 126 B.C. at which time the Edomites were converted to Judaism. Since that merger, the Jews have had two streams of prophecy to fulfill.”

    CRUELTY: Israeli drones play recordings of crying children to lure innocent Palestinians into IDF crosshairs

    naturalnews.com/2024-04-19-israel-drones-crying-children-lure-palestinians-idf.html

    It has come to light that the Israeli military is tricking innocent Palestinians into their own deaths by playing recordings of crying children in the streets of Gaza.

    Much like that famous scene from Schindler’s List in which a high-level Nazi is randomly picking off concentration camp prisoners with a gun, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are luring innocent Palestinians into the streets of Gaza so they can be picked off by much more advanced weaponry than anything that existed during World War II.

    Israeli quadcopters are reportedly flying around the streets of Gaza in search of human targets. Once those targets are identified, the quadcopters start playing recordings of crying children and women, prompting innocent Palestinians to come out of their homes in search of those crying in need, only to discover that the sounds are fake as they get shot on sight by Israel.

          Gazans could have pursued a peaceful coexistence with Israel, took advantage of Israel’s technological & industrial acumen, which Israel would have gladly shared. For example, when Gaza was turned over to the Arabs Israel left behind a whole system of greenhouses which would have gone a long way to helping Gaza feeding itself. Gazans smashed up all of them with Kalashnikov rifles on the first day. Instead, Gaza then elected by an 80% margin a party of fanatics, murderers, and terrorists who call themselves Hamas.

            Hamas wants a ceasefire so they can regroup, resupply and rearm.
            They don’t want peace they want it all which is why they never went for a two state solution and probably never will.

            The day they come to the table and say yes we want peace and will create a state from what is given.
            We will provide for our people, create industry, hospitals, clean water, deal with sewage, a police force, abide by international law, stop terrorism, and live in peace is the day I support them in their bid to be real humans and not meat shields for Islamic terror groups.

            But the Palestinians are the victims here, based on the historical record. There have been Israeli victims of terrorism, for sure, but there is no comparison between the degree of victimization of the two groups.

            In any case, Israel/Palestine is not a contest of equals–and every year, the US gives Israel BILLIONS in aid on top of that.

            Why should my tax money go to Israel? Or Jordan or Egypt for that matter?

            I’m not saying that the US should be bombing Israel because of Israel’s war crimes,, but I resent my tax money going to subsidize a genocide.

            I resent that today, Congress voted to and my tax money is going to go to Ukraine and Taiwan (mostly connected American pockets) and Israel.

            BUT, THE BORDER SECURITY PACKAGE to fund protection of the US border FAILED. FAILED!!!!!

            It garnered a majority, 215 to 199, but the rules on THAT package call for 2/3 majority. How does that work?

            We are funding THREE conflicts, all of which are going to prolong war and/or make the world more unstable, while adding to our deficit, but our border…nahhh, that’s not a priority.

            So I’m mad as hell about that.

            Maybe the IDF can make itself useful, and instead of bombing Palestinian women and children, maybe they can make the District of Columbia look like Gaza? I wonder, would that help, or make things worse? Would I, as American taxpayer, be willing to fund that?

            Let me think about before I answer and get in trouble….

        • Socrates-Detroit April 20, 2024 at 8:21 pm #

          The Israeli public is probably 60-70% in favor of the war ON Gaza.

          The t-shirts you mention, the hit songs about “killing them all” just reflect, and play on, popular sentiment.

          Even in 1920 in Alabama, I don’t think we’d have hits in the South “It’s a great day to hang a ni$$er in a tree and make ‘Bama beautiful!”

          If I posted a t-shirt depicting an pregnant Israeli woman in cross-hairs, with Arabic writing underneath, all hell would break loose (rightfully so!!!).

          The Palestinians are, and have been, dehumanized by the Israelis at every level, to make this level of hate possible. Over the decades. Even the “good ones” can never “give enough” or “submit enough”. So the logical conclusion is, “they just need to go somewhere else”–that’s what the Israeli establishment wants to get across to Israelis. A few of them don’t buy it, but they are too few and not in power.

          The Nazis did the same thing with the Jews–but we are supposed to feel bad only for the Jews, not the Palestinians. And because of the Nazis, it’s OK for the Jews to do the same to the Palestinians.

          In any case, as reviled as the Palestinians are by many, probably most, Israelis, I’m pretty sure the Israeli government and mainstream media are carefully managing the images from Gaza, and most Israelis do not realize the extent of the death and destruction the Israelis have inflicted.

          A “motivated” Israeli who wants to know (regardless of their view–they may want to applaud the slaughter, or they may weep in shame) can find out. Just like a motivated American who wants some context to the (most of) the news, can come to CFN, or antiwar dot com, or sonar21, or the Duran, or Bill Bonner, and find out the news that the mainstream media paints out of the picture we see.

          But, IMO, most people, even educated people who take an interest, are not going to go to that trouble.

          So the Israeli public does not know the extent of the death and destruction their government is inflicting on Gaza.

          And there will by payback–in this life, or the next.

          Genocide in Gaza is no molehill, SSL. Over 1,000,000 people displaced, cities gutted and bull-dozed, estimates of the dead ranging from 34k-41k [1,700-2,050 9/11s], etc.

          Maybe your life is too short to bother over such ongoing war-crimes and those who support such things. To each: their own. The great part about freedom of speech is that I believe that you are making a molehill out of a mountain and I can debate accordingly.

    From Dylan’s ‘Just Like a Woman.’ Check out the lyrics and video on you tube.

    She takes just like a woman, yes
    She makes love just like a woman, yeah, she does
    And she aches just like a woman
    But she breaks just like a little girl

    Yeah, it was raining from the first
    And I was dying there of thirst
    So I came in here
    And your long-time curse hurts
    But what’s worse
    Is this pain in here
    I can’t stay in here
    Ain’t it clear that

    I just can’t fit
    Yes, I believe it’s time for us to quit
    But when we meet again
    Introduced as friends
    Please don’t let on that you knew me when
    I was hungry and it was your world

    Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
    You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
    Then you ache just like a woman
    But you break just like a little girl

        As Freud said, Civilization depends on the control of female sexuality. It can be done! The Muslims do it. We used to do it. And women are the first line of defense since naturally love to call other women sluts. Wise men make use of this. Cank gets confused about this and then thinks that are the moral paragons and not US.

      Hmmm? Could it be that these “lesbians” just fear men? Or subscribe to the myth that men control sexual relations and their power drives cannot handle that?

    Then you see the news about thousands chanting death to America in Dearborn Michigan.
    Send them all back from whence they came already.
    Next come the no go zones and when 10% of the population is reached then comes demands for their own sharia court systems.
    The constant outrage because the Burger king Ice cream cone looks something like the Arabic symbol for Allah.
    Then the demands come for people stop eating during the fasting times even though they are not Muslim.

      Benr, I noticed the invasion. Of socialism in San Diego, just like in Phoenix.

      In the 50-80 time frame, the difference between the American and Russia average housing was propagandized by America and rightfully so. State subsidized apartment complexes, cheaply built, the average domicile in Russia and the single family home the same in America.

      Look round, the primary residences being built are apartments and lately state subsidized “cheap” housing.

      A high school teacher, a lo-o-ong time ago, predicted that Russia and the USA would exchange roles over the long term. I think we are witnesses to that. Socialism is a toxic state and must be repelled.

    I don’t have much to say in regards to women honestly. I look at it from a perspective that when it comes down to destructive behavior, and ideologies women and men are both equal in destroying shit around them. You have a lot of men who run this world today and the vast majority of them are horrible scumbags to the core. All the Elites like Schawb and Bill Gates are males yet they want to out right kill everybody.

    Sure they have their female Queen among them that this blog spoke of before…I already forgot the bitch name. But other than that, if you look around you the world today that we are dealing with is being destroyed mostly by power crazed males… Nikki Haley is the only woman I know of that was war mongering hard, I don’t know too many women like her who are hardcore war mongers besides Hilary Clinton. I almost voted for at least one female and her name was Zephry Teachout.

    I didn’t even bother to look deep into her background to find out if she was Democrat or Republican. Because to me neither side matters, they both suck at this point. Just that if you vote Democrat you’ll get the destruction a lot faster than you would with a Republican that will just play it cool by pretending they got your back…

    But like someone else here said, no one has tried to stop the illegals from pouring in, NONE! I live in California and we have Galven Newsom, he’s proof that men can screw up severely bad, and he takes a lot of pride in doing it. But I also believe he was taught all this from his Aunt Nancy Pelosi. Regardless I wouldn’t put the whole blame entirely on her that Newsom was taught how to be a garbage leader. Case in point, women and men have worked together to destroy everything around us.

    If Women can benefit from the shit policies that some of these men come up with, they will support it. That’s why they use Abortion rights to manipulate liberal women. Galven Newsom did it very well when he stood in front of a crowd of women and told them out right “Women can run this world better than men.” And the women clapped for his ass when he said it. Then he started saying how California will be paradise for any woman that seeks abortion rights. He got applauded for saying that crap too.

    • TruthSeeker1986 April 20, 2024 at 10:04 am #

      Look for the common trait between the two.

      Power! Power is evil, it is the invasion of power in the public square that screws everything up.

      The insanity of your governor is there because he is blinded by power, “My way or the highway”, the belief that his way is right and everyone else is wrong. Such attitude leads to dictatorship, which for all intents, Newsom is one in California now.

      The result? He is turning the most beautiful, fruitful state of the union into a fiscal nightmare.

      BTW, has he figured out who he is going to steal from to fund HIS budget deficit? How many more of the middle class is going to be driven out to infect other western states with BLUE?

      • JohnAZ April 20, 2024 at 11:34 am #

        Dictators believe themselves to be the equivalent of God in their little mind battles. Roman Emperors declared themselves gods, The USSR removed God for the State, and the USA is in the process of rejecting God right now.

        Every socialist attempt is marked with the State trying to minimize God in competition with their power base. And the results are the same, dissolution of the socialist state. Humanism comes up last.

        Why? God believes in the individual, Jesus preached to the individual. The State hates the individual, it is a threat to their collectivism. Stalin killed millions of “individuals” in Ukraine because of collectivism.

        The State and God are diametrically opposed in the battle for the human individual heart. Revelation says God will crush Babylon, ie the State and all it stands for, its whoring itself and the materialism that it creates.

Corporal Damien Williams, 102 Infantry, 26th (Yankee) Division, US Army. The family must have gotten some compensation from the govt because a little after that, in 1920, the family bought a small farm out here that is still in the family.

But men also have bad traits: their toxic masculinity and truncated emotional lives. Most of this is socially constructed and needs to become widely understood and detoxified.

            The CIA had all sorts of LSD experiments between Elvis on Sullivan and it becoming a street drug in the late 1960s. I seriously thought that anybody smart enough to spend time on CFN already knew that!

      The women doesn’t have to love the man too? Happy wife, happy life? Nope. Many good men love their wives and think they have great marriages only to find out that she has been cheating on him all along. Are his kids even his?

      Women are very good at juggling many balls at the same time. They don’t let Truth get in the way of that. Nor their husband’s rights and dignity. As long as he loves her what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.

      We’re not people to most women. Just accessories. Just things.

      • TruthSeeker1986 April 20, 2024 at 3:26 pm #

        @Jarek

        You forgot to mention the men who purposely get off on being cheated on, and cucked. Not as in using the term cuck loosely, but real actual cucking. Especially among white males who have wives.

      • GreenAlba April 20, 2024 at 7:09 pm #

        “Many good men love their wives and think they have great marriages only to find out that she has been cheating on him all along.”

        I knew a woman once in a school where I was teaching, whose husband worked for a big insurance outfit in the city. I was in it once, being interviewed for a temporary job and everyone it it seemed to be about 30. It was apparently virtually a knocking shop – they were all having affairs with one another.

        Anyway, this lovely woman and her husband had a young child and her husband was having an affair with a colleague (which the wife didn’t know about). He then persuaded her to have another baby while he was having the affair. No words, really. Anyway, she finally found out and left the pig. That would be one of those divorces you keep going on about, instigated by women.

        Another woman I knew, when my kids were small was everything most men would want – attractive, fit, good mother, the whole shebang. On the day that their second little boy started school, he took the kid to school himself, then came back to the house and told his lovely wife that he was leaving. He’d been having an affair with a colleague, while telling her he was playing badminton. Another of those divorces instigated by a woman.

        A third woman – an absolutely lovely middle-aged woman who worked with me – got terminal cancer, and her husband felt so sorry for himself that he had an affair while she was dying. Couldn’t even wait until she was dead. I don’t think his son ever spoke to him again.

        Why do you come out with this nonsense, as if men haven’t been having affairs behind their wife’s back since the beginning of civilisation? It’s only recently that women have been catching up on men’s appalling behaviour. And no, I’m not saying that’s a good thing, but your blinkered view of men and women is frankly beyond parody.

        • GreenAlba April 20, 2024 at 7:25 pm #

          If there’s anything that really, really pisses me off it’s men who think women should stay at home with the children, but when they have an affair it’s with a colleague, because working women are sexier. Vomit inducing, it is.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder April 21, 2024 at 10:12 am #

            It’s always vomit-inducing. The thing people seem to disregard is that for every man cheating, there is a woman also participating (well, generally speaking…I’m sure there are plenty of stories involving some guy named Bruce or Randy or whatever, to each their own).

            Either way, statistically, most cheaters are married (both of them), and for some reason they don’t use protection when cheating, leading to devastating DNA revelations later in life for some men. Apparently if you’re gonna go off the rails, might as well do it all the way! Obviously, sometimes there is one of them who is single, and sometimes they don’t know the other is married or attached, because cheaters lie by definition.

            I would add a personal anecdote to your list though. My first wife was the smug offender in bringing about the end of that marriage. I even caught her plotting and confronted her before she officially did it, and she went and did it anyway. She was bored and thought she was in control of everything, including me. She had turned out to be the batshit crazy template that JHK describes.

            I divorced her with extreme prejudice immediately. Luckily I was still relatively young, we didn’t have any kids, and we both made decent livings on our own, so it was a fairly simple process in my case (at least legally…obviously it was not a fun time, and I lost my ass on the short sale of the house and my retirement funds got wiped out in my early 30’s, only to have to start over again.)

            This “easy outcome” is extremely rare though. Most men and women are not so lucky when things fall apart and they go to file…advanced age, kids, and alimony ruin lives for the divorced. And Janos is correct that the system unfairly favors women in this situation in America. Doesn’t matter what she may or may not have done, she gets half (or more), cuz…the 1950’s…or cuz Ralph Kramden, I guess? If it’s the man that was the offender, he’s a pig (and she gets the kids, and half or more). If it was the woman, the prevailing social stigma is that she must’ve done it because the man was a pig (and she gets the kids, and half or more).

            The point is for every cheater, there is another participating cheater by definition, and most often one is a man and one is a woman. So the gender war is kind of unnecessary in this argument. It’s bad behavior and loss of character that is to blame, in every case. Both sexes are capable of destroying their situations handily.

          • Jarek April 21, 2024 at 1:20 pm #

            Superb post, Mango. As you say, in women’s eyes, men are always the offender. They deserve anything they get at the hands of women. This serves the State very well, so they back them up on this. Most marriage counselors are women and take the woman’s side. Most judges in divorce court, etc.

            If a man wants to keep his shirt he should hire a female lawyer who knows women and has no sympathy for them – and can get away with tearing them a new one in court.

          • GreenAlba April 21, 2024 at 3:36 pm #

            I wouldn’t disagree with any of that, Mr M. Perhaps some of the gentlemen could have pointed out to Jarek exactly what you say, in reverse, that every time he goes on e-n-d-l-e-s-s-l-y about cheating women, he should remember they’re cheating with somebody else’s cheating husband.

            The issue, I think, with Jarek, is that he actually has genuine double standards. He thinks it’s OK for men to cheat but not women. Because, you know, it’s harder for men, blah blah, so they shouldn’t be considered responsible. Even though half of men manage perfectly well to be responsible.

            For what it’s worth, I have a daughter who was in a toxic relationship (toxic both ways) and they split up, after about 15 years. My grandson lives with his dad. They didn’t go to court over it and there was no-one else involved. His dad is an obsessive gamer and my grandson (almost 12) is into screens in a big way, to his mother’s chagrin – she’s always trying to get him to do healthier things. So he was always going to choose to live with his dad.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder April 21, 2024 at 8:41 pm #

            Even though half of men manage perfectly well to be responsible.

            GA – Agreed.

            Same for women, by the numbers, which is why the gender war is unnecessary in the cheating/divorce argument. The male (and I presume Jarek’s) dispute is with the legal view of the situation. However, I don’t agree that women see all men as offenders though. But they do know that they will win in court, as that is the State’s position. So the State is the offender in that situation.

            To affect a southern accent, even though I live in the nord…I ain’t perfect, but I ain’t never done that shit to a gal in my life.

            The people that do deserve to be called out.

            I’m thankful every day that my real wife, the mother of my 7 yr-old beautiful boy, got to to know me after that experience. We were brutally honest about boundaries from day one. Life experience counts.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder April 21, 2024 at 8:44 pm #

            And I’m sorry your grandson is stuck with a gamer instead of your daughter. Video games were dumb after about the age of 22.

    • Paula D April 20, 2024 at 4:45 pm #

      That song could actually be Jarek’s theme song, but nice thought.

      When a man loves a woman
      Can’t keep his mind on nothing else
      He’ll trade the world
      For the good thing he’s found
      If she’s bad he can’t see it
      She can do no wrong
      Turn his back on his best friend
      If he put her down

      When a man loves a woman
      Spend his very last dime
      Trying to hold on to what he needs
      He’d give up all his comfort
      Sleep out in the rain
      If she said that’s the way it ought to be

      Well, this man loves a woman
      I gave you everything I had
      Trying to hold on to your precious love
      Baby, please don’t treat me bad

      When a man loves a woman
      Down deep in his soul
      She can bring him such misery
      If she plays him for a fool
      He’s the last one to know
      Loving eyes can’t ever see

      When a man loves a woman
      He can do no wrong
      He can never own some other girl
      Yes when a man loves a woman
      I know exactly how he feels
      ‘Cause baby, baby, baby, you’re my world

      When a man loves a woman

    Keeping, for a change (yes, I am guilty), to the topic our host chose, I’d be interested in knowing what the rest of you think of a substack I read yesterday. It goes into great and convincing detail about the evils of the entertainment industry, Hollywood, Disney. Most of the people spoken about are completely unknown to me; I don’t follow this stuff, and know nothing about the world of rap “music”. But this is tied into other matters, and other people, such as Jeffrey Epstein. As you read, it becomes clear that there is much more to this than corruption in Hollywood.

    The essay describes the behavior of a pop icon, Jennifer Lopez, and the way in which her narcissism eventually became too much even for her fans and seemingly resulted in the death of a woman who had a huge TikTok following. This woman, “Kyle,” was a sort of whistleblower and amateur journalist, digging into these people’s lives. It appears they decided to get rid of her, and didn’t expect the backlash that occurred as a result. This was the part that really caught my attention:

    “Anyone who calls them on it and has a powerful voice is killed. Kyle was reaching the people most asleep, ie middle-class women, the obedient foot soldiers of the supposedly leftist-enlightened-compassionate-fascist state. Her account, if continued, could have 10Xed in a year, easy. And then where would they be? Their soma, their corporate entertainers, outed to the people they most needed, the Karens, the AWFULS (affluent, white, female, urban liberals), the Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon admirers, the housewives who bully their sons and husbands into voting for the puppets Biden and Kamala and Gavin Newsom.
    Kyle was their sacrifice. They took energy from it. She was used to propitiate their dreadful gods.”

    This is a story of Satanism. I don’t have a way of knowing if all of it is true, but I will say this: it amazes me that people laugh at the idea of Disney (for instance) as a nest of Satanists. Why is it hard to believe that an entity that is overtly and openly Satanic is also covertly Satanic? The videos presented within this essay are deeply disturbing and have the ring of truth. If you read the essay, take the time to watch all of them.

    It appears the recent raids of Diddy’s (!) mansion have opened a door, and that there is much more to emerge from that opening – enough, perhaps, to even affect and awaken the very women described above, the women who have been the foot soldiers without whom none of this would have been possible. I strongly recommend you read this:

    //elizabethnickson.substack.com/p/is-jennifer-lopez-responsible-for?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#media-9876c509-adeb-4214-b0bd-b94f4a447d9d

    I’d like to know what the rest of you think.

    • SoftStarLight April 20, 2024 at 1:45 pm #

      Not only are they Satanists but they devour babies and kill and drain children of all of their blood for complete blood transfusions to reinvigorate themselves as they attempt to find the fountain of youth. They also get high on adrenochrome. JLo is technically a he, too.

    • Jarek April 20, 2024 at 3:12 pm #

      See the videos of the young Justin Beiber left alone with Diddy for two days. Pre-adolescent. Just an innocent boy. A beautiful boy. His mother sacrificed him for success.

      He has a lot of resilience and wasn’t completely destroyed. He has done well, has a beautiful girlfriend and may well be set for life. But he does seem broken in some way. Speaking out might be very healing, or it could get him dead.

      • Night Owl April 21, 2024 at 4:51 pm #

        That video of Bieber in the club performing what looks like oral sex on Diddy’s compatriot is pretty crazy.

    • beantownbill. April 20, 2024 at 3:28 pm #

      @Rowdy:

      All I can say about this is that there’s a not so-undercurrent of severe fucked-upness about this whole subject. The people in the videos are not impressive.

      Ordinarily, I would automatically call bullshit on this entire matter, but my problem is I once thought the covid vaccine story was bullshit, but I was very wrong, so I no longer feel confident about what is real. My gut – which isn’t automatically accurate anymore – tells me the people involved in all this crap are ego-driven maniacs.

      AFAIC, whatever the truth is, shows how many people are totally whacko.

      • Rowdypiglet April 21, 2024 at 10:11 am #

        @beantown, I agree they’re ego-driven maniacs. But the few who have extracted themselves from it and dare to speak out seem, in spite of their character defects, to be impelled to tell the truth. When you consider the sort of people these are, it’s hard to imagine them saying “no” to any sort of degradation of themselves and others – which is why I’m inclined to believe this is as bad as it appears.

  63. SoftStarLight April 20, 2024 at 1:33 pm #

    From a purely political perspective i wish to take your thesis to a slightly different place and perhaps you’ll feel somewhat persuaded to reassess your conclusion. If Democrat women are swirling in a hysterical spiral to destroy the country then I would submit to you that Republican men are also caught up in that whirlwind and are completely facilitating the exact same. Look no further than Mike “Johnson”. And all the Republican men in the House and Senate who are prioritizing warrantless spying on American citizens and billions of printed dollars to Ukraine and Israel over the most fundamental duty the Federal government is supposed to exist for..protection of the national borders, which are boundaries.

    MTG was recently excoriated once again for stating outright that yes indeed, she does hate the Democrats and many of the Republicans. She hates them for what they are doing to the country. There is a place for righteous hate as opposed to the media manufactured emotional blackmail hate btw.

    • Rowdypiglet April 20, 2024 at 2:34 pm #

      SoftStarLight, Yes, Republican men are also caught up in this. My point, which I’ve made often here and most are probably tired of hearing, is that – whether it was started by men or not – women had the power to shut it down at the outset but failed to do so. The transing of children, which I would have expected women to refuse and utterly reject even if they had to stand before a firing squad, was seized on by many women as a way to get attention, be seen as special, to virtue signal at the expense of their children’s destruction. The Woke thing hadn’t yet infested everything, and it could have been stopped dead in it tracks instead of being welcomed. There would have been absolutely NO CONSEQUENCES to women who spoke out against it and put a stop to it.

      Even now, look at the very small number of women who have objected to biological men in women’s sports. If the women who have trained to take part in them were to stand up and refuse to play, they could shut the entire system down immediately and with NO PENALTY to themselves. Why? Because if they allow it to go on, they have no career in sports anyway, so they have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. Yet relatively few stand up, and many fervently support their own demise and attack others who will not do the same.

      In this instance, I think that women have the greater blame. After all, bad actors of any sex can always try to inject some idea into the culture that is patently and obviously harmful. You can’t get much more obvious than castrating confused children, whose confusion you have in most cases deliberately crafted. Adults, sane humans, have a responsibility to recognize such ideas and stomp on them before they get a chance to work their way into the institutions. If any idea ever deserved that treatment, this was the one. And yes, of course, some women treated it with the contempt it deserved. But the fact that it is now endemic is due to the actions of women in supporting it.

    We agree that Proud Mary rage-quit on account of me and her “this town’s not big enough for the both of us” attitude. Name a second woman or retract your statement. This will not go away as you flit off to your next brain fart. Man up!

    2) The validity of the report of IDF luring innocent Palestinians with recordings of babies and women in distress to, ultimately, be sniped is, for the purpose of my question to Heckler, benr and yourself, immaterial.

        I can point to any report and ask people for their opinions on the report. I can also, as explained, use the report to ask a philosophical question of Heckler, benr & JAZ. In trying to understand our differences, this philosophical question is useful regardless of the validity of the report.

        As for the rest: I calls ’em as I sees ’em.

            I asked Heckler, benr and JAZ their opinion of the alleged war crimes.
            benr said, “A dead enemy is a good thing.” displaying his answer to my question while you jump in attacking me on the validity of the original report of the allegations.

            Call that legalism all that you like. That’s what happened.

            This whole mess was caused by you wrongly assuming that I believed the report hook-line-and-sinker while I never actually said so or even did.

    Also, upthread, JAZ, you asked me why I do not believe Israel’s official story for 10/7.

    1) Mossad’s modus operandi is, “Make war by way of deception.”
    2) D’uh! It was a lousy deception. Pure Amateur Hour.

    The most secure border on earth is breached while the standard scape-goat (incompetent boobs) lose all the moon-landing tapes or barricade U.S. citizens into a raging inferno kill-zone. Incompetent boobs who are never held accountable while TPTB luckily get exactly what they always wanted.

    Give your head a shake.

    Fifteen (15) breaches in the most secure border fence on earth. Each breach big enough for terrorists on dirt bikes. While gaggles of paragliders, apparently working in tandems, flocked to and fro with hostages. While a music festival was moved there just two days prior. For 7+ hours of complete standown in a country as tiny as New Jersey and a military that prides itself in being anywhere in 20 minutes. While bull shit claims of debunked atrocities of infant beheadings and pregnant women mutilations. While Israel won’t allow international investigators access to eye-witnesses. While Bibi faces all sorts of charges. While there was about to be wider peace. While they plan to put the Ben-Gurion Canal through Gaza. While they’ve announced settlement plans for Gaza. While …

    As I say: D’uh!

      what kind of charges is he going to face, and why the hell do people call him Bibi? What a weird name for a man….The only Bibi I know of is from a tv show I grew up with in the 90s called Doug. And she was a girl, a spoiled, bratty ass rich girl with purple skin and a naggy obnoxious high pitched voice.

        Let’s hope that he will face his charges. I believe that he’d literally blow up the world first.

        Benjamin Netanyahu: What are the corruption charges?

        bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-47409739

        Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been indicted on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. The cases involved are known as 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000.

        Mr Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing and says he is the victim of a “witch hunt”.

          Some countries have “parliamentary immunity”. In Greece, it is obscene. While I completely disagree with it, it puts MPs above the law. As long as their are in Parliament, they cannot be prosecuted. However, if/when they leave, they can be prosecuted.

          I don’t think Israeli Knesset members enjoy the same degree of parliamentary immunity as Greek MPs, but I thought they had some. Apparently, it is not enough because:

          Per google, I found news report that says that in March 2023:

          The Israeli parliament, the Knesset, has approved a law which will grant Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immunity from prosecution on criminal charges. The Basic Law: The Government passed its second and third readings, and will prevent a sitting prime minister from being dismissed from office and declared to be unable to fulfil his or her duties.

          So, as long as Netanyahu is PM, he can’t be prosecuted. So, if he can’t deliver on his “promise” to “destroy Hamas”, he may need another war to get people to rally around the flag and set aside their dislike for him. And that’s a big factor in the situation with Iran. It’s also a big factor in making sure the Iranian strike is perceived as being for show, that all the missiles were shot down, no damage. Because, a damaging strike, could damage Netanyahu’s fragile coalition of extremists–and topple his government.

I’ve always been confident that I can make my way in this life without any undue influence from either sex. I have no problems with that. I’ve always loved women, but I know I’m my own person.

      I’d agree with you completely beantown, as far as my personal opinion.

    Would you study one verse, thoroughly, and then tell me with a straight face that human beings are capable of this?

    “Abstract. On the basis of the self-evident facts presented here the first verse of the Hebrew Scriptures – already featuring the most widely read words of all time – must be regarded as the most remarkable combination of words ever written, and a standing miracle.”

      @Messianicdruid

      The Bible was rewritten over and over, but it also doesn’t change the fact that man wrote it the first time, changed parts he didn’t really like, or parts he felt were “too scary” or too much for the masses to grasps. Either way there’s a reason why religion is used in a way to keep people controlled, scared, and enslaved. Honestly it’s no different from any other cultist system. I stopped believing in all that religious stuff the moment I found out that a majority of people cling to it because of fear. The thought of going to hell or fearing a pissy GOD only reinforces the fear in those who believe it. I’m no Atheist, but I don’t follow blind faiths either.

      • messianicdruid April 20, 2024 at 7:18 pm #

        “Would you study one verse, thoroughly, and then tell me with a straight face that human beings are capable of this?

        I’m not asking you to join a denomination, get baptized or go to seminary. Just one verse, at the link.

        “The thought of going to hell or fearing a pissy GOD only reinforces the fear in those who believe it.”

        Eternal Punishment is against the Law. The idea of hell was brought in by Augustine and Jerome for, as you say – motivation. But a study of the scriptures shows it to be a lie.

        Much of what you say is true, but we will still have to stand before the Judge and answer for our activities in resisting evil.

        Now, as far as a “pissy God” maybe we should look at this a little closer. Some say that the entity that presented himself as YHWH is an imposter, mainly because of what started happening afterwards. We are commanded to “rightly divide the word of truth”. Do you wonder why?

    Important Announcement:

    CFN is instituting the first annual MHF (Male Hot Flashes) Award. This will be a highly-coveted competition open to all nominally male Cluster posters and will recognize the biological “male” with the highest serum estradiol levels. The prize will consist of a hot water bottle and a year’s supply of Midol.

    Of course, as it is generally recognized that Canadian “males” are to female hormones what Kenyans are to marathons, the CFN Canadian posters sit on the pole position and have to be considered the favorites to take the inaugural award (this is a topic for another discussion, but there is a school of thought that attributes the origin of transgenderism to Canada as Canadian males are virtually indistinguishable from women). But competitions are not held on paper as the saying goes and there are quite a few other posters who look to give the Canadians a run for their money. Frequent hysterical references to genocide, pronounced susceptibility to jihadi propaganda and an unshakable belief that if it weren’t for the Jews and women keeping them down, they “coulda been a contender” mark the efforts of the strongest non-Canadian competition.

    Best of luck to all the competitors and may the best “man” win.

        Genocide is the object of war. War is to destroy the opposition, not make continuous ceasefires and pacts with them.. They just keep coming back.

        Since the Civil war, the object of war is annihilation of the enemy and its elimination.

        War is not a nice thing, it is legalized murder and the crisis to eliminate one side after the Fourth Turning.

        Israel, finally, is going to eliminate the Hamas contingent inside the Gaza, like scratching an itch. War IS genocide and from now on will be nothing but.

        Ukraine and Russia have not learned this yet. Like the USA, they think they can fight a naive war, where no one really wins and no one loses. Hahahahaha.

        Like Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Balkans, all resounding successes that continue on and on. Viet Nam created Pol Pot who killed many more than the USA.

        Those that have read The Fourth Turning recognize that the Crisis must be resolved for the next cycle to start. Otherwise, it is a festering sore. There must be a winner.

          Before the Industrial Revolution, war was about capturing territory and resources, but more importantly, enslaving the conquered population. In those days, natural resources were plentiful, labor was not. Today, conquered populations are not an asset to be exploited, they are a liability to be eliminated. Socialists–be they Communist/Socialists or Fascist/Socialists figured this out 75-100 years ago because the Socialist elite knew that their Socialist economy was not efficient enough to provide for any conquered population, and not even efficient enough to provide for its own population. So, by necessity, every Socialist regime eventually becomes genocidal.

          Socialists always sell their ideology on the premise of wealth redistribution to allow the less advantaged to live better when, in fact, the actual goal is to kill off the old, the weak, the sick, and those who dare oppose the regime.

    Everything has its flaws. The universe is expanding to the end and will suffer heat death; the sun depends on burning hydrogen and will eventually run out of it and die; the Earth is so close to the sun that it will be subsumed when it expands; humans are killing themselves off because they think they’re invincible; some nations hate each other because they have different ideas; individuals have serious issues with each other; DNA kills some people because it has mutations that wreak havoc; and gravity warps spacetime if it grows too strong.

    Reality isn’t what you think it is, nor is it what you want it to be, but it is what it is.

There I was throwing the dice, and I could feel them talking to me. I seemed to know what my next throw would be. I told the person standing next to me that my next throw would be a 2, which it was, and it paid 30-1. The dice told me to bet on 4’s and 10’s which pay 2 to 1. I bet them and proceeded to throw a shitload of them. I had this confidence that I knew I would.

        If only I could do this all the time. It’s not about winning the money, it’s about being in tune with the universe. I could feel it.

            I did win at craps. That was somewhat tempered with me losing at blackjack, but I ended up way ahead. I played blackjack 8 different times and couldn’t win once. Luckily for me I never got the chance to up my bets, so I didn’t lose much there. I couldn’t believe how bad I did. It was at the point I was wondering whether the whole thing was fixed. I must have had about 10 hands of 20 and lost to 21’s. The dealers got a lot of blackjacks. Many of them occurred when the dealer had a 16. Then they’d get a 5. Aargh! But craps more than made up for it.

    A bunch of Climate Crazies tried to shut down the airport in Boston this morning. Cops cleared them out and arrested some of them. One was shouting about the seas are boiling when she was being dragged away. So I decided to check it out on a site that I found that had weather data going back to 1880, including coastal water temps. Today April 20 the water at the Coast Guard Station on Cape Cod is 46°F. In 1950, on this date, it was 47°F. In 1922 it was 48°F, in 1900 46°F. Back in 1880 the water was a balmy 46°F. See any pattern here? No you don’t. The water was pretty goddam cold in 1880 and it’s cold now. My conclusion is that the seas are not boiling, and people who go into airports and raise hell over this stupid sh#t are delusional and perhaps mentally ill.

    Israel blew up the Iranian embassy in Syria.

    In retaliation, Iran sent a bunch of drones to Israel, without killing anyone, and then said that they considered the matter finished, but if Israel attacked Iran again, they would not just send harmless drones.

    Israel, like a five-year-old brat, reached out with one finger to say
    “Nah, nah, hah, I touched you.”

    Holy shit! Are they crazy? They want to start WW3, just because they have to have the last word?

    I thought for sure that Iran would respond so as not, as we say in the US, to “lose face”.

    But it looks like they are going to be rational adults about it, suck it up, and let Israel do a victory dance, in order to save the world.

      • Socrates-Detroit April 20, 2024 at 7:40 pm #

        @BackRowHeckler

        Your selective half-truths are completely irrelevant to the fact that the Israel government deliberately attacked a foreign embassy and killed several people.

        I’m sure if some one murdered a relative of yours, you would not accept law enforcement and a judge saying “you know, there’s xx,000 murders in the US annually. The death of your loved one hardly makes a difference.”

        Your half-truths also conveniently overlook the very pertinent facts that:

        1. Israel invaded Lebanon in the 1980s, before Hezbollah, culminating in the massacres of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps, earning Ariel Sharon the nickname of “the Butcher of Beirut”. Israel lobs missiles and shells into Lebanon, so Hezbollah retaliates as best they can.

        2a. The US bears much of the responsibility for the “civil war” in Syria, as the US (and Saudi Arabia and Turkey) armed many anti-Syrian government factions, in an attempt to remove the Syrian President and replace him with a US/Israeli puppet.

        2b. If the Obama/Hillary Clinton administration had not green-lighted the plan, Syria would not be such a “crap-hole country”, as the rebel factions themselves had neither the muscle nor the popular support to destroy the country.

        2c. The US literally occupies part of Syria, a relatively rich, oil producing part. The occupation is illegal by any standard, since the Syrian government did not invite the US, but it’s there nonetheless.

          2b. The rebel factions had neither the muscle NOR the popular support to take over and GOVERN the country. But thanks to outside aid, they did cause a lot of damage until Assad, with Russian help, beat them back to a large (but not total) degree.

          The rebel groups are less popular than Assad is. Many of the rebels are Sunni Islamic fundamentalists (call them ISIS or any other name);

          or they are KURDS, who are not Arabs like the other Syrians (who are Arab Shiite, Sunni, Christian or Druze, most of whom support the Assad government).

          The Kurds want more self-determination–their own state. The US won’t support that–and if it did, then Turkey might just invade MORE of Syria, as Turkey has said it will not allow a Kurdish state.

          3. Turkey has also invaded part of Northern Syria and has their own Sunni Islamic proxies.

          4. Israel regularly bombs Syria at will.

      • Paula D April 20, 2024 at 9:16 pm #

        I agree with Socrates. I would just add that Syria is not a craphole country with no buildings left standing, it is the only secular country left in the middle east. Why would the US want yet another fundamentalist Muslim government in the last secular country in the area?
        Why would the US support terrorists destroying a city and murdering its citizens, in Syria which has been Christian for centuries, and in which the inhabitants speak Aramaic, the language that Jesus spoke?

        It isn’t a “civil war”, it’s a proxy war on Syrians, with terrorists armed by the US, as well as the Gulf states and Turkey.

        The US occupies not just a part of Syria. It illegally occupies 30% of Syria, and steals their oil and wheat, while Syrians go hungry and cold.

        It is illegal under international law to bomb an embassy, and most countries abide by that law. Israel caused international outrage when they destroyed the embassy and killed the Iranians.

        I agree with you, BRH, that it is astonishingly hypocritical to wax hysterical about Gaza, while ignoring the deaths of far more Arabs in other countries. People are being played by the media, which is expert at whipping up emotions. The only time people got hysterical about Syria is when the SAA and Russia cleared out the terrorists occupying east Aleppo. The Blob went insane with anger, and the Mighty Wurlitzer pulled out all the stops, culminating with little Bana Abed claiming that she was in imminent danger of extinction, and saying that WW3 would be preferable to “Holocaust Aleppo.”
        She got a standing ovation at the Oscars the next year, which was fitting.

Nobody would win an all out nuclear battle.

    Middle class and affluent leftist women make great Socialists because most of them have never really worked at an actual productive job–they shuffle papers, tap on computer screens, or just sponge off of the most convenient and compliant male that they can find–Daddy, immature boyfriend/man friend/husband tool, etc. Some of the prettier ones can venture into marriage–not to have children or raise a family (that’s why they love abortion so much)–but to control the man in their life. In community property states, that can be easy to do because, as Beth so eloquently stated in the series “Yellowstone,” in community property states, the wife “has half the money and all of the pussy.”

    Leftist-created feminism’s main goal was not to make women “equal” to men, it was to abolish motherhood as a respectable, necessary, or desirable profession for a woman. Seven decades after the supposed emancipation and “equal rights” feminism movement became the leftists’ darling cause, most women now HAVE to work at a career most of their lives just to financially survive–married or not. Unless, of course, they take the Socialist-preferred path–be a single, public welfare-dependent parent of unwanted children with no father figure anywhere in sight–except at fornication time to create another unwanted child to get a welfare benefit increase. Hell of a way for women to win a “war” for emancipation, equality, and opportunity, I dare say.

    Of course, what leftist women (and men) in the lazy, brainwashed stupor that they wallow in while heading the U.S. into full-blown Socialism don’t realize is that, if they are successful in making the U.S. into a Socialist utopia, women will be back to beating their clothes on a rock next to a putrid pond to try to clean them, while the man (if there is one) will be standing in line for some scraps of food at the local Socialist commissary. What a funny turn of events it will be when leftist suburban men and women will no longer have obesity problems, they’ll have starvation problems. And they won’t have to worry about Social Security going bankrupt because few of them will live long enough to even start collecting it.

  77. JohnAZ April 21, 2024 at 1:53 am #

    Two Sources

    Both Wikipedia, to see what actually caused this disaster in the ME

    Dissolution of the Ottoman Empire

    Homeland for Jewish People

    Started in 1266, when the ME united under the Ottoman Turks, The ethnicities included: Albanians, Arabs, Armenians, Kurds, Yemenese, Lebanese and Jews and Christians.

    In 1896, Theodor Herzl started Zionism with the purpose of creating a 20th century Jewish homeland.

    The Ottomans and ironically the Zionists backed the German Empire in WW1. Part of the Ottoman Empire was in Europe, now the Balkans. Revolution by states in the Ottoman Empire were already trying to break away, Lawrence of Arabia organized an Arab uprising to help England.

    The war was won and the victors got to carve up the Middle East as they wanted. Britain and France claimed mandates in what is known now as Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine, and the Arabian peninsula. The Turks under Mustafa Ataturk rebelled and successfully created Turkey as we know it.

    They split up the Empire in a totally obnoxious way, not paying any attention to clans, ethnicities or even nationalities. IMHO, looking at the map, they split it up like they thought it was in Jesus’time. In 1920, the Treaty of Sevres did the job. In 1923, the Turkish rebellion ended with the Treaty of Lausanne, creating Turkey.

    In 1917, Britain indicated it was willing to allow the Zionist group to start organizing in its Palestine mandate. Ir created the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to show this intention. Zionist work was done within the League of Nations regarding Palestine before it petered out.

    Anyway the Brits and French really mucked up the nation creating at this time. I remember Iraq being split between Turks, Kurds and Arabs, Yemen still rebelling, Syria having no real focus with many groups constantly rebelling.

    Then 1948 happened which kicked off the Palestine fiasco we live with today.

    The real problem is that the Middle East is too important to allow the regional or ethnic continuing conflicts to interrupt its resource flow. Ideally, this area should have its national boundaries redefined according to the “tribes” that live there. Powers much greater than themselves that are dependent on them will not allow them to Duke it out themselves and stop the flow of oil.

    Enter stage Left. Iran, Persia, not involved in the Ottoman Empire. They see an opportunity for power and have been pushing it ever since. The USA controlled it for awhile, the Shah, but since 1979, radical Shia Islam has been poking at the Middle East unrest.

    Genocide has been practiced multiple times here, the Armenians and Kurds are examples. Western powers have installed the Zionist state to attempt to stabilize the region. Not happening yet, but the Abrahamic Accords were starting to bring cooperation, until Hamas torpedoed it.

    Just like Africa, the Europeans have created more problems than not by ignoring the wishes of the locals.

    • SoftStarLight April 21, 2024 at 3:28 am #

      I just posted about this too. In reality modern maps are filled with countries that have a very tenuous relationship with actual history. Most of our history is also simply propaganda. In a very general way there is no real reason to continue to consent to the current construction of society and the systems of power as they exist today. The truth is that most governments are actually just criminal cartels. There is no real difference between the Middle East and the United States in this regard. The ultra centralized mega governments that cover thousands of miles of land are a symptom of the overall disease.

  78. messianicdruid April 21, 2024 at 9:10 am #

    “Western powers have installed the Zionist state to attempt to stabilize the region.”

    “Zach Foster is a fascinating guest: he hails from a strongly Zionist background, but it was through his scholarly research of Palestine that his perspective changed.”

    Foster’s main point is that Palestinians have NO VOICE in western media. They do not exist except to be good victims.

    Repent – change mind – change perspective. The Western Powers should have, as Franklin said, “Mind Your Business”.

      A good guess, George and Alex Soros. The media has been going after Bibi and the conservatives ever since the beginning of Gaza. For example, they have tried in many ways to disprove the Hamas involvement in the onset and get it blamed on Netanyahu.

    The left hates Donald Trump so much….But I suspect it is even more simple.
    This software company is helping the left “win” elections.

    Prosecutor Says Charges Dropped Against Election Software Company for Political Reasons

    A tort claim alleges Los Angeles DA George Gascon dropped the case after being praised by former President Donald Trump.

    Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon dropped charges against an election software company’s CEO despite strong evidence of wrongdoing because he was worried about politics, according to a prosecutor who works in Mr. Gascon’s office.

    Eric Neff, the prosecutor, who was helping with the case against Konnech CEO Eugene Yu, alleges in a new tort claim that the charges were dropped in 2022 because Mr. Gascon, a Democrat, became concerned after receiving praise from former President Donald Trump.

    Mr. Gascon “was overwhelmingly concerned that since he had inadvertently gained Mr. Trump’s … support, the outlook of such support by prosecuting Mr. Yu would impact his stance and popularity politically,” states Mr. Neff’s claim, a copy of which was obtained by The Epoch Times.

    Mr. Gascon first shuffled which officials oversaw Mr. Neff in the prosecution of Mr. Yu. Then, about three weeks later, Mr. Neff’s new supervisor “informed him that management from the DA’s Office had ordered the case to be dismissed,” according to the document.

    Mr. Neff objected because he thought the dismissal was illegal in part because the motivation was political gain for Mr. Gascon. That would constitute fraud, because Mr. Gascon and his workers were misrepresenting the reasons for the dismissal, Mr. Neff alleges.

    After Mr. Neff complained, he says he was placed on administrative leave as an internal investigation took place. That investigation wrapped up recently. No disciplinary actions were taken against Mr. Neff, and he was reinstated, although he was reassigned to “a much less desirable assignment” in retaliation for his pushback, the document states.

    The claim alleges personal injury caused by Mr. Gascon and others. It estimates Mr. Neff suffered $11 million in damages.

    “Mr. Neff complained about the unethical and unlawful dismissal of the prosecution against Mr. Eugene Yu and was then retaliated against by George Gascon,” Tom Yu, a lawyer representing Mr. Neff, told The Epoch Times via email. “We look forward to seeking justice for Mr. Neff.”

    Mr. Gascon’s office declined to comment. “The office does not comment on personnel matters,” a spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.

    The county has not responded to the claim, Mr. Neff’s lawyer said.

    Los Angeles County settled a lawsuit filed by Mr. Yu after the charges were dropped, agreeing to pay the Konnech CEO $5 million.

    County lawyers advised the county Board of Supervisors to approve the settlement due to “the risks and uncertainties of litigation.” Their justification noted that all charges against Mr. Yu had been dismissed.

    The approval came after Mr. Neff appeared at a meeting and told supervisors they should not approve the settlement.

    “Why are we settling a claim for lack of probable cause, after the DA decided, after they became aware of all these supposed problems with the case, they still went ahead with filing a complaint?” Mr. Neff wondered. He said the timing of the request might be linked to Mr. Gascon’s re-election campaign.

    Mr. Gascon won enough votes earlier this year to advance to a runoff election, which will take place in November.
    Charges Suddenly Dropped
    Mr. Gascon’s office announced the charges against Mr. Yu in October 2022. Prosecutors said evidence showed Mr. Yu stole the personal information of poll workers and stored that data on servers in China, which was outside the scope of a $2.9 million contract the county had with Michigan-based Konnech.
    “Data breaches are an ongoing threat to our digital way of life. When we entrust a company to hold our confidential data, they must be willing and able to protect our personal identifying information from theft. Otherwise, we are all victims,” Mr. Gascon said at the time.

    According to charging documents signed by Mr. Neff, he said that the breach was “probably the largest data breach in United States history.”

    Mr. Gascon’s office, though, soon asked a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to dismiss the charges. The judge did so on Nov. 9, 2022.

    “We are concerned about both the pace of the investigation and the potential bias in the presentation and investigation of the evidence,” Tiffiny Blacknell, a spokeswoman for the office, told The Epoch Times in an email at the time. “As a result, we have decided to ask the court to dismiss the current case, and alert the public in order to ensure transparency.”

    A lawyer for Mr. Yu said his “good name was tarnished” by the allegations.

    Ms. Blacknell also said that prosecutors had assembled a new team to explore whether any criminal activity occurred. It has not issued an update since on what the new team found.

    “Our office has an ongoing obligation to continually reassess the case in light of all of the available evidence. We currently have an immense volume of digital data that will define this case, but the processing of that data will take months,” Ms. Blacknell said. “We would not be able to fairly and accurately process and present all of that evidence within the statutory timeframes. For all of the aforementioned reasons, it is in the interest of justice to dismiss the current prosecution until all of the available evidence can be processed and understood.”

      Surprise?

      In 2020 and 2021, many suits were brought up showing election irregularities, nation-wide. Sworn affidavits by election workers and computer snitches talking about computer misuse were brought up. Unanimously, federal judges dismissed every single one of these suits as “nonsense”. All of the lawyer-types that brought up the suits are now under indictment in Georgia for election abuse.

      At that time, it was so apparent that the Leftists were achieving total control of the US judiciary, actually the entire Deep State. Election fraud now has total access to the election process as there is no one to challenge it. The Left, the Mob know this. That is why no alarm bells are going off about Trump leads in polls. These Leftists are in control. Your post is an example.

      The Deep State controlled Senate just violate the Constitution by ignoring a House generated impeachment.

      We are so-o-o close to uniparty totalitarian control. Victory by the Mob this fall will be it.

      Look at the foreign aid bill yesterday. The Left side of the House got everything they wanted, Biden’s Ukraine influence and money are now protected again. Another 100000 Ukes are condemned to more warfare. Aid to Israel got second fiddle to assuage the Muslim community.

      The Congress is now a rubber stamp to the Executive Order sketch pad on the Resolute desk. It is almost where the rubber stamp legislature of the USSR was.

      US “democracy” is almost gone. Like all “democracy” attempts, actually republican attempts, control by the people falls apart by the brainwashing and ignorance programs of a relentless governmental group.

      The USA seemed to have some philosophical balance as the power base swung back and forth over the long term between Conservative and liberal. Extremists were kept under control as majorities were made from centrists on both sides of the aisle.

      Then came Bush X2, Cheney, Mc Cain, Flake, Mc Clusky, the Senator from Maine, Ryan, Mc Connell and the swings stopped, hung up on the Left. Bernie Sanders et al saw the opportunity and ran with it. The fiasco we have in Dc is the result, the entire political spectrum now is centered on the far Left. The Right is now represented by less than ten Congressmen and one Woman in the House. One, one person, a women is trying to stop the slide into Progessive chaos we are moving towards.

      History shows that “Democracies” seldom fight off the progress of the Leftist power mongrels. The USA has faced this before and fought back into balance. Any chance that the people recognize the onslaught will be tested this fall. IF the election is not a sham.

    The explosion comes just a day after Israel appeared to have hit the city of Isfahan in response to the regime’s direct attack on Israel on April 13. The city plays an important role in Iran’s nuclear program.
    Iran said its attack was in retaliation for a deadly precision strike on two of its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military generals that it blamed on Israel. They were in a building adjacent to the Iranian and Canadian Embassies in Syria’s capital of Damascus. Five others, including a member of Hezbollah, were also killed in the attack.
    One of the generals killed was Gen. Ali Reza Zahdi (also spelled Reza Zahedi), who the IRGC says led its elite Quds Force in Lebanon and Syria until 2016. He was honored on April 3 by the Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces for his role in “planning and executing the Al-Aqsa Storm” Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Iranian dissident news organization Iran International reported.

      The dream that wars would be settled by the two Crowns meeting for a battle to the death at mid-field is being approached by a network that can bomb out a few leaders instead of blanket bombing an entire city. So far, no Dresdens with Israel.

    TruthSeeker1986 said, “I’m no Atheist, but I don’t follow blind faiths either.”

    “The transmission of reliable information from one person to another, from one place to another and from one generation to another has ever been a necessary feature of the human enterprise. Of particular concern to humanity is the status of the Bible in this regard. It has come down to us as a translation of early documents written largely in Hebrew and Greek, declaring itself to be the Inspired Word of God – a claim which hitherto has necessarily been accepted by faith alone. However, there are now good reasons for believing there to be some inherent property of the autographs which – having escaped the attention of generations of translators and others – confirms the Bible to be both self-authenticating and the work of a Supremely-gifted supernatural Author.“

    Informed Faith [ via an inherent property of the texts ] is vastly superior.

      Cast your eyes through You Tube at some of the posts about historical verification of the Bible.

      Hint: The Bible in many areas is being validated, including the ministry and death of Jesus Christ. For example, Pilate has been verified, and Caiaphas ossuary has been found. Evidence of the Tower of Babel, the Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah have been found.

      The greatest miracle, the Resurrection, is still a matter of faith. However, the fact that a small bunch of peasants could be so inspired by “something” that they could convert Europe and willingly die for “the Message”, leads an awful lot of credibility, even to the Doubting Thomases.

Sure, Rumble and, especially, BitChute cut right to the truth and are far superior but YouTube is a tremendous depository of knowledge.

            Well, I choose to condemn genocide while you wrongly support it, for one.

            The fact that He gave you free choice does not mean that you are exempt for choosing wrong. It is your test. And you are supporting the Synagogue of Satan (i.e. failing).

            No, it is a terrible idea.

            “But the basic doctrine of the Gush Emunim is that other people’s land belongs to Jews alone. They get this teaching, not from the Bible, but from the Talmud, where we read in Schulchan Aruch,

            “All property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which consequently is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples. An Orthodox Jew is not bound to observe principles of morality towards people of other tribes. He may act contrary to morality, if profitable to himself or to Jews in general.”

            This Talmudic teaching is their “tradition” of what the Old Testament teaches…In my view, the Bible calls this theft.”

            It is this attitude [ colonialism? ] that Jarek defends by obligating everyone born in a former colony to praise the invaders [ we deserve it all ] for invading instead of blooming where you’re planted.

          • Jarek April 21, 2024 at 5:50 pm #

            The two moralities, Messi. The Talmud says only one – the lower – at least in regards to other peoples.

            I don’t do that. Do you wish our people didn’t come here, conquer the Indians and create all this? If so, have the integrity to get out. Or are you an Indian and loyal to all that? Don’t try to have it both ways like the you know whos. Choose.

            But don’t say only higher morality is real. That cannot be in this world, this fallen world ruled by the Strong Man.

            Depends on which god you serve. If the Creator God [ the owner through right of creation ] It is the Abrahamic Covenant. If the god of this world [ the usurper{s} ] other contracts are offered.

            It seems your “morality” [ commandments and doctrines of men – traditions of the elders ] whether cleverly modified or not, would engender a desire to study the act of usurpation so some truths could be discovered.

            Could you explain this question?

            “Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,”

            “For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. And indeed, if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one…“

      No it’s not. New Jerusalem will be if you believe in the biblical prophecies. If Old Jerusalem or now Jerusalem were the center of the world then why is there going to be a New Jerusalem at all?

      Thanks for making me nauseous, John

      • messianicdruid April 21, 2024 at 5:21 pm #

        Hagar and Sarah represent the two Jerusalems.

        “Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the [ New ] Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.”

        Those religions who consider the Old Jerusalem to be their “mother” are in bondage with their children. They are NOT the inheritors of the promise. They will NOT fulfill the responsibility of the Birthright.
        Their methods are carnal, even bloodthirsty. They attempt to establish the rulership by violence and force. They want to be inheritors apart from the Holy Spirit. They still have confidence that the Old Covenant is the true path to Sonship.

            1) Lousy joke, Dude. $29B of your tax dollars to support ongoing genocide and you’re cracking wise? For shame.

            2) If Israel can take care of itself, why is DC giving them $29,000,000,000 of your tax dollars? One can’t claim that they do not take charity while taking charity.

            3) All jokes aside, are you ok with giving Israel an additional $29B of your taxes? Or are you always against Biden unless and until he’s kissing Israel’s hairy butt?

        • JohnAZ April 21, 2024 at 3:33 pm #

          Okay, OG. there is Truth,huh?

          We are studying Revelation in Church,

          Do you believe in the God of Love as Jesus preached, or the God of wrath as John wrote about in Revelation.

          God will wipe out 90% of the human race during Revelation in His wrath.

          And I am starting to understand why.

          I wonder how He feels about your bad mouthing of His People in Israel?

          • OG April 21, 2024 at 6:52 pm #

            ***
            First of all, my holding genociders accountable for their ongoing genocide is not merely “bad mouthing” them. I charge them with war crimes against humanity.

            Secondly, I am in very, very good company. Jesus Christ of Nazareth Himself said:

            I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
            – Revelation 2:9

            I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
            – Revelation 3:9

            God knows the truth and God knows my heart while I try my best to discern the truth.

            ***
            You believe that God “entrusted” the present-day geocoding Jews to run this planet but this planet is completely corrupt and evil. Maybe it is God & I that are on the same page and it is your support of genocide that He disapproves of.

          Honestly, OG, i have changed my feelings about the US interference overseas over the last couple of decades. I feel that post WW2 the US had good motivation to get the world out of the war fever mode and did good things. Then the Cold War started with Russia and Korea ,VietNam, etc. My feelings of US benevolence started to change in Vietnam after I saw what a fiasco it was. It did not totally change though until the Obama mess with the Arab Spring, Libya, etc. Trump kept us out of most stuff but iit is the Biden’s and their corruption that has turned me cold about our doing anything. Everything we touch turns to shit.

          You and I disagree on the ME situation, but the end result is the same. Israel will win any conflict and I do not think the US should get involved at all. The situation will resolve itself without the US turning it into KA-ka.

          This country is in an internal crisis and no longer serves as a good example of how to govern anything. We cannot even govern ourselves.

            2) Condemn sending US tax dollars totalling $29,000,000,000 of MIC killing machines to Israel.

    Yesterday, Mark Levin’s opening monologue from Life, Liberty & Levin focused on exposing the George Soros groups and dark-money Democrat billionaires that are funding all the Democrat party nonsense. His conclusion was that they are out to destroy America.

    So, they are out to destroy America. But why?

    Why is no one looking to make sense of all the nonsense by looking at the situation from the perspective that “Joe Biden” along with other leadership throughout the world are doing their part to implement the 2030 Agenda?

    Do they not know? Are they unable to connect the dots? Is it better not to go there until the existence of the 2030 Agenda has been well established by MSM?

      To make sense of the nonsense in the Mid East, consider the following:

      Based on recent discussions Macgregor and Ritter have had with Napolitano and others, and looking at the situation in the Mid East from the perspective of the 2030 Agenda, I think the issues could be resolved, and the agenda set, in a year or two.

      The obstacles appear to be:
      Bibi Netanyahu and his government
      The Supreme Leadership Authority in Iran
      The Palestinians and Hamas

      The nonsense:
      Bibi flattening Gaza
      US financial aid for Israel
      US financial aid for Palestinians
      US (financial) aid for Iran
      “Joe Biden” not condemning the associated civil unrest in the US
      “Joe Biden” enduring months of hostility by Iran and it’s proxies
      … the list is endless

      Some PR and other discussions:
      The US promotes that Arab nations participated in Israel’s defense against the drone and missile attack by Iran.

      “Joe Biden” promotes peace in the region (and throughout the world), but promotes the war against Russia (Putin).

      Macgregor insists that no one in the region wants war, that they all want to get down to the business of doing business.

      Macgregor also promotes that various Arab populations are outraged by the way that Israel is conducting it’s operation against the Palestinians, and some (Egypt and Turkey to name 2) are a spark away from overthrowing their government who has not condemned the action.

      I believe it was either Macgregor or Ritter that said that Sisi would be pressured to allow the passage of the Palistanians so as to clear out Gaza and allow Israel to finish the job, and once hostilities cease, the Israelis and Iranians will deal with their radical leadership, and everyone can get down to the business of doing business.

      2030 Agenda Mode of Operation:
      It appears that back-room deals are (have been) made with leadership throughout the world in order to get a country to adopt and impose the 2030 Agenda on their population. They know that there would never be a unanimous vote of approval from the great unwashed, so they do it in a deceitful and dishonest manner, and restrict their deal-making with leadership.

      Saudi Vision 2030
      Kenya Vision 2030
      Zambia Vision 2030
      Zimbabwe Vision 2030
      Jamaica Vision 2030
      Egypt Vision 2030
      Namibia Vision 2030

      So, how might this be resolved in support of the UN 2030 Agenda?
      As per last posts discussion, power is a major motivating factor for leadership.

      Will projects like The Line employ and appease the great unwashed? How about if they toss in basic needs like food, shelter, and medical?

      If the basic needs are met, will the sediment change and the population in Egypt and Turkey support their current leadership?

      Would the Ben-Gurion Canal project save Bibi? Did Bibi flatten Gaza to remove the obstacles? If the Palistanians get the West side, and Israel gets the East side, can that mend the differences? How about if it entails a project like The Line for Palistanian housing and the new government supplies the basic needs?

      What “bone” can be tossed at the Supreme Leadership Authority in Iran? How about we let them continue to sell their oil to China, and release the funds the West has held hostage? How about if the UN tosses in basic needs like food, shelter, and medical for leadership to provide for their population?

      As bleak as the current situation in the Mid East appears, I view “Joe Biden’s” actions aligned with the hope for implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

    • SoftStarLight April 21, 2024 at 4:08 pm #

      To make sense of the nonsense in Ukraine, and against Russia (Putin):

      The obstacles appear to be:
      Putin needs to go
      Ukraine needs to clean-up corruption
      Ukrainians hate Russians (and vise versa in some instances?)

      The nonsense:
      “Joe Biden hates Putin, but he is in bed with Xi???
      What is “Joe Biden’s” business in Ukraine?
      Why is it that the majority of DC politicians insist on funding for Ukraine?
      All the lies we are continually being told about how Ukraine is wining the war

      Some PR and other discussions:
      If Putin isn’t stopped, then “he’ll be back for more”.

      Once again, Macgregor insists that the majority in the region do not want war, and that they only want to get down to the business of doing business.

      How does this relate to the 2030 Agenda?
      I realize that like some of the above suggestions and proposals for a Mid East solution, this one might appear even more far fetched.

      In regard to a NWO, klaus schwab of the WEF has stated that “All nations must participate”. My thinking is that if it is not unanimous, then at times, various nations will have advantages over others, like the key currency advantage, a resource advantage, a military advantage, etc..

      The likes of Janet Yellen, Antony Blinken, Gina Raimondo, John Kerry, Joe Biden, etc. are desperate to be friends with Xi, while on the other hand, they are outspoken and quick to vilify Putin, even promoting regime change. They justify their condemnation of Putin for his Human Rights Abuses, while they turn a blind eye towards Xi with his Human Rights Abuses of the Uyghurs.

      Could it be that their hypocrisy is a result of Putin wanting to make Russia Great Again from a domestic perspective, while Xi envisions that China will be the center of the world if his One Belt One Road initiative comes to fruition (and he will be “King” by default), so for now he is going along and will wait and see how it all plays-out?

      Their actions suggest that they are subservient to Xi, and my sense is that they would not hesitate to put the UN with the 2030 Agenda under Xi’s control (to salvage their 2030 Agenda / to save their hide (I believe that they have basically committed treason, and may be susceptible to blackmail by the likes of Xi) / if it isn’t essentially so already (due to Xi’s demands (like approval to bring online two new coal power plants per week (how about the draining of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve?)), which they have accommodated to get him onboard their 2030 Agenda)).

      So, how might this be resolved in support of the UN 2030 Agenda?
      What kind of “bone” could the UN toss at Putin to get him to sell-out the Russian population in exchange for getting onboard with their 2030 Agenda?

      What kind of a “bone” would the Russian population accept for getting on board with their agenda?

      As Macgregor has been promoting after the Moscow concert hall attack, if the West were to concede at this point, Putin would likely demand territory East of the Dnieper River for the citizens of the Donbas, and Odesa and Crimea revert to Russian control. Would this entice Putin and/or the Russian citizens? How about if they were allowed privileges which the rest of the world were not allowed?

      Perhaps the West has a secret weapon or an alien army that the population doesn’t know about? Perhaps the 2030 Agenda fanatics are fu*ked, and their only option is nuclear?

      • TPTB-USA April 21, 2024 at 6:10 pm #

        I forgot to add, that perhaps the war, with 500,000 Ukrainians killed, was an effort to clean-up the corruption.

      • TPTB-USA April 21, 2024 at 6:26 pm #

        Perhaps Xi would assist in the matter?

      • TPTB-USA April 21, 2024 at 6:59 pm #

        Passing aid for Urraine would imply that the 2030 Agenda fanatics are desperate, and view their only option as being to replace Putin with someone who will get onboard their 2030 Agenda.

          Hmmm.

          Biden’s gang seems to enjoy using divide and conquer techniques to get their way.

          Could it be he thinks he can use the same technique with China and Russia? Or like Ukraine, is China another patsy for the Biden family and Mob.

          Is the world about to be taken over by criminal Mobs? Is it a Mafia wet dream?

          • TPTB-USA April 21, 2024 at 11:40 pm #

            John, my impression is that Joe Biden and his administration are treating Chinese leadership, in manner and actions, like in the following video clip,

            youtube.com/watch?v=XNKpvXXrqaA

            It’s like the Chinese administration telling the US administration where to kiss them, like elysianfield often instructs. and Schiff and Nadler fighting over who is going to get to get there first.

            “Joe Biden” doesn’t do anything about the balloon, the 20,000 illegal migrants, Xi’s drug war against the US, again, the examples are endless.

            My impression is that Xi owns them all.

            ****

            Concerning Putin, I am starting to think that Victoria Nuland’s assignment was regime change throughout the world for implementation of the 2030 Agenda, and she failed in regard to Putin.

            ****

            I have read some of your discussions about the Mafia. I have little sense of this, and am basing my assessments on the news and actions of “Joe Biden”, commentary by the likes of Macmaster, information from the UN about their 2030 Agenda, the WEF picture of the future, etc., and feel that most every aspect of that which I am trying to describe makes sense of all the nonsense (I’ll work on the US next).

            If you are asking about those at the top, like the Rothschilds, I don’t have a sense that they are Mafia, and can only guess that they are the original architects of the 2030 Agenda, and if Xi does not go along, they will lose. But, yourself and others that post are infinitely more knowledgeable about all of this than myself, so I try and keep an open mind.

          • TPTB-USA April 22, 2024 at 2:03 am #

            Armstrong promotes that the “Joe Biden” plan is to defeat Russia, and then China.

            Based on how “Joe Biden” is catering to China, I don’t see his assessment as being a fit that makes sense of all the nonsense.

      • Grace April 21, 2024 at 10:31 pm #

        So many pf you guys are now overtly in the “Putin Wing” of the GOP. But you may have noticed that it’s a minority and is having its ass handed to it on a regular basis. The Russians are mightily pissed that the House has voted a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine, to the point that here’s the vitriolic response:

        “For his part, leading Russian politician Dmitry Medvedev had his own reaction to the House’s passage of the national security supplemental bill with aid for Ukraine. He vowed that Russia would win the war anyway and added: “[C]onsidering the russophobic decision that took place I can’t help but wish the USA with all sincerity to dive into a new civil war themselves as quickly as possible. Which, I hope, will be very different from the war between North and South in the 19th century and will be waged using aircraft, tanks, artillery, MLRS, all types of missiles and other weapons. And which will finally lead to the inglorious collapse of the vile evil empire of the 21st century—the United States of America.”

        Is this what YOU all wish for too? My god, you cannot call yourself a ‘patriot’ if you do. Wake the fuck up – unless Trump is soundly defeated this November, and the likes of Gaetz, Greene and the associated propagandists for Moscow, this may come to pass. Vote Blue, whatever you feel.

        • OG April 21, 2024 at 10:57 pm #

          Right. The USA bombs other people in other lands. The USA does not play home games.

          The USA is about to get what it deserves.

          Sad but true.

          • Grace April 21, 2024 at 11:38 pm #

            OG, it won’t ever come down to F-16s, MLRS, or tanks & cannons. These are military-level items, owned by the US Government Inc.

            Who will be the two sides in this Civil War 2.0 that this Russian Prime Minister seems so eager to invoke?

            On one side “The Union” and on the other…who? The Proud Boys et al? The Play-Date Soldiers? Where will they get their weapons from? Russia, probably, but this is fantasy. It won’t happen. An open insurrection would be brutally crushed and I, along with a great majority of Americans’ will applaud that.

    The betrayal goes much deeper then at first imagined. I saw today that it was Trump himself that gave the go ahead to Mike Johnson to push those bills through Congress. So the political debates are essentially hypothetical for the regular person. Maybe I am just making too much of it but it really seems to be a low point. If Trump and Biden would both sign off on the bill then isn’t support for Trump basically as if you are supporting Joe Biden anyway? My support, my cheerleading and magnanimity and deference have been taken for granted.

    • Grace April 21, 2024 at 10:35 pm #

      Nicely put SSL. I agree entirely.

      Trump is nothing more than a bloviating spent force, snoring & farting his way through a court case he cannot defend, and pretending to have ‘power’ by holding court to the likes of little Mikey Johnson who is a spineless tool and a useful idiot.

      In the meantime, Biden is alert and cohesive. He measures what he says, unlike the dribbling mewling whining, and victimhood that spews forth from Trump when you can ungarble his word salads.

      • SoftStarLight April 21, 2024 at 11:43 pm #

        Sorry Grace, you lost me with the Biden is alert and cohesive part. The man doesn’t know what world he’s in. And in any event as near as i can tell that is exactly the way the overlords like it. They just need a puppet. They’re not even too much into the show any more. Thus the sloppiness and sheer totalitarianism of it all.

      Talking and doing are two different things.

      • SoftStarLight April 21, 2024 at 8:42 pm #

        Well let me think. Trump has never talked about it as far as i know. And Trump has been President before and he didn’t do anything to reign in putting chemicals and hormones in food. Right? So with him there is a record to go on. RFK Jr. has not been in office yet but he and his campaign have talked about it. Trump still thinks Operation Warp Speed was wonderful.

  88. SoftStarLight April 21, 2024 at 4:43 pm #

    With that said voting does seem like a waste of time. As Mike Johnson put it the Congress has worked its will. So clearly Congress and the regime have a will separate from the people and they no longer even care to have a veneer of pretense. So no reason to pretend that we have any say so either. Such a clarifying moment is a good thing in the end as it burns away those last remaining cords tethering you to the old ways. I hope and pray their miserable house collapses in on itself and that their karmic harvest is quarantined to them and unable to hurt the innocent and ignorant.

      “Such a clarifying moment is a good thing in the end as it burns away those lost remaining cords tethering you to the old ways.” Nicely said SoftStarLight.

      This Saturday infamy will not soon be forgotten.

      But what will replace the remaining cords ( beyond the hope for social collapse) seems more obscure than ever.

      What specific types of political structures, cultural beliefs and economic arrangements offer a viable future vision for grass-roots political dissidents who no longer believe in the uni-party or its narratives?

      • SoftStarLight April 21, 2024 at 8:49 pm #

      “So clearly Congress and the regime have a will separate from the people and they no longer even care to have a veneer of pretense. ” – SSL.

      If you look at the most recent polls, you’ll soon see that what you refer to as ‘the will of the people’ is the will of a minority. Likewise with access to abortion.

      On these issues alone, The GOP will lose the House, lose more Senate seats and will not regain the White House. oh, bummer. I just hope and pray that the Putin Wing gets kicked out on its ass.

      • SoftStarLight April 22, 2024 at 12:44 am #

        A large majority of Americans oppose additional aid to Ukraine and its been that way for quite some time. A small minority support the additional aid. You seem to think there is a major difference between the GOP and the Democrats. That is laughable given what we’ve just witnessed. Here’s what’s guaranteed. Your mythical Putin wing will not be the ones getting kicked out on their ass. It will be the everyday person. Who gives a shit about abortion access, ending poverty and hunger, providing quality healthcare, general access to healthy and clean food and water, access to an actual education, and on and on when the Ukraine border with Russia must be defended with apparently everything the degenerate Congress can muster.

    Interesting how Jim usually gets two to three dozen TRACKBACKS/PINGBACKS per essay but just three TRACKBACKS/PINGBACKS for this particular essay.

    Being critical of DC, its swamp creatures and their machinations is fine … but start calling out bat-shit crazy bitches and very few will jump on that bus. Far too close to home methinks.

      • OG April 21, 2024 at 9:25 pm #

        Right … because most Sunday evenings there are dozens of TRACKBACKS/PINGBACKS while this particular Sunday evening there are only three.

        • SoftStarLight April 21, 2024 at 11:37 pm #

          There have been other posts in which the pingbacks and trackbacks were not plentiful. And it differs in timing and topic and probably more on timing though there is no doubt that the control grid may have something to do with it. However you have no real data to back up your assertion. And it seems a little bit clear to any sentient being that plenty of criticism of bat shit crazy bitches has occurred here and occurs basically everywhere. More like you enjoy throwing grenades and triggers. Meanwhile the DC swamp creatures and their machinations are just fine. But this gets in the way of the fact that OG knows best apparently.

          • OG April 22, 2024 at 1:18 am #

            I’ve been following Jim for years and never before saw an essay with less than a dozen TRACKBACKS/PINGBACKS let alone only three.

            That is real data, SSL.

            As for the rest, I clearly state “methinks.” That means that I am sharing my opinion.

            Well perhaps you are not paying as much attention as you imagine you have been. I’ve seen it before and i’ve also been following Jim for years. That is real data. The knows best was a bit of tongue in cheek commentary but it appears some free speech isn’t as valuable as other free speech. But really didn’t seem worthy of the rude tone. And I’ve not been attacking your posts though i’ve seen you on the attack. And please do not utilize legalistic language with me when you made it perfectly clear to let me know that this is not a court of law. It is very interesting that you are speaking this way and yet you try to also insist on being some kind of victim. Talk about manipulative.

    TPTB-USA

    Just looked up the 2030 Agenda you talked about.
    Enacted by UN in 2015, it is a Mission statement for the Bullshit artists of the world.

    Zero specifics and total generalizations. The WEF must have thrown it together in Davos in concert with the EU.

    Bullet points

    * End poverty and hunger everywhere
    *Control inequalities within and among countries
    * To build peaceful, just and inclusive societies
    * To protect human rights and promote gender equality and the empowerment of women
    * To ensure the lasting protection of the planet and its natural resources.

    The US position (got to be the Biden Mob) is to be committed to the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda at home and abroad.

    This is total unadulterated BS from the Woke side of the USA. This is Liberal dogma. 50 % of this country would go to war to stop this globalization attempt.

    The good news? We are at the 60% point and almost nothing has been accomplished of this tripe. The reason is obvious, the statement could be used as a title for a Mission Impossible episode.

    It is a power grab by the global elite in 2015 and will never be accomplished. More war, less power with women, more poverty, less human rights and more ethnic discord are earmarks of what has really happened. Biden is pumping more oil than Trump did, in spite of John Kerry, and has emptied half of the Strategic reserve.

    I remember that Biden tried to force the US car manufacturers to be EV only by 2030.

    Hahahahaha. That worked well as all the EV conversions are becoming hybrid based.

    Agenda 2030 is a total failure to date with the world actually regressing.

    Maybe next time, the scientists used to create the 2050 agenda will have a clue what they are talking about, and the damnable politicians will just bug out.

    I nominate BRH to go to the conference to present actual data regarding the heating of and rise of the oceans.

    And get rid of the global influence in the USA, crush Biden and the Mob, no matter who the nominee.

        Ya think?

        I spent a few moments today again pondering the proposal, wherever it originated, of moving the ‘UN HQ’ to somewhere such as Thailand.

        I take is as move it ‘anywhere, elsewhere, and make it remote wherever it lands ‘.

        It would be a beginning…..

    • Grace April 22, 2024 at 12:01 am #

      What’s the matter with aspirational goals?


      * End poverty and hunger everywhere
      *Control inequalities within and among countries
      * To build peaceful, just and inclusive societies
      * To protect human rights and promote gender equality and the empowerment of women
      * To ensure the lasting protection of the planet and its natural resources.”

      Which of these aspirations don’t you like JohnAZ? I’m guessing the ‘inequalities’ that put you ahead of the pack would be one. You know…the white, male ‘backbone of the country’ type. Right? You feel under attack and put upon. You see commies under every bed and behind the eyes of anyone who expresses any kind of empathy for the downtrodden. No, wait – you think YOU’RE one of the downtrodden, right?

      And we all know that ‘promoting gender equality’ is a HUGE no-no for the likes of you, but I can guaran-damn-tee that our definitions of what that looks like are completely different from each others.

        @Grace

        What the hell are you even talking about?

        All this fantasy nonsense is laughable. Everything you posted is what WEF claims they are trying to do, which is a damn joke. And Inclusive? Ugh you actually use that leftist word? Inclusive societies are trash, just look at America right now and tell me if “Inclusion” is benefiting the United States, or even Europe.

        Let me tell you, ITS NOT, instead you just have idiots discriminating against their white population in favor of their new slave population of brown and black people they get to pretend they care about.

        And Gender Equality is another joke, women make a lot more money than men do doing stupid shit online, look at Onlyfans for proof of that, women becoming instant millionaires just from exploiting men with crap self esteem that pay them fortunes for something they can see freely on porn sites. But if men went around exploiting women like that Onlyfans would have gotten shut down. But what woman is going around paying a guy almost $50,000 a month? Lots of men are doing that shit on onlyfans and women are taking full blown advantage of it.

        Ending Poverty and Hunger is never going to happen either. Why would the powerful who run the world want to do that? Look at all the stupid countries importing tons of poverty stricken people into their own nations, why are they doing this? Because they want more dependent people they can exploit and take advantage of. While slinging that “We care” bullshit around.

    Virtually everything that JHK loathes, past and present originated with Jews. I’m not sure how that is reconciled in his mind. Perhaps it is irrelevant. You can simply rail at Blinken, Mayorkas, Bourlas, … the list is in the thousands, without pointing out the trait they have in common.

Why? Because it requires a strong sense of boundaries. Boundaries are the essence of the ‘patriarchy.’ Remove men from the scene, or castrate them politically, and you are sure to end up with a problem knowing right from wrong. We’re apparently subject now to the misrule of women with boundary problems who, for one reason or another, rebelled against Daddy and never got over it.
