This last week was a remarkably disastrous week for the foes of freedom and civilization and a great week for the rest of us. First, Dalrock---one of the most anti-religious promoters of the so-called 'Gender Wars' went down. Then, the Impeachment/coup attempt against President Trump failed, as did the final attempt to overturn BREXIT.
Today, too, is the NFL's final game before the debut of the XFL next week. The annual Trash Culture Extravaganza featuring drag queens and tributes to Feminism kicks off about the time we're posting this article. It's estimated that Wall Street Robber Barons, the Corporate Media, and gambling racketeers will rake in about $18 billion on this year's game. It seems, to my mind, that the cities of San Francisco and Kansas City could put the money to more constructive uses. Given the number of murders and proliferation of drugs in KC and the appalling social conditions in SF, it's difficult to comprehend why residents think it better to funnel billions into the hands of national parasites.
Tradition plays a big part of it. Just like the author of the SF article noted: "If you traveled to San Francisco 25–30 years ago, you would have found a different city, different people and a different atmosphere. However, things have changed drastically since the 90’s; not only the universities in and around it have regressed and lost much of the free thought in particular, but the city itself is undergoing a major crisis and perhaps one of its worst times." It's the same with the Super Bowl and the NFL in general. Millions of Americans are thinking of the past Super Bowls of Joe Montana and Len Dawson. They're thinking of Super Bowl parties from their school days and friendly 'fish-bowl' betting pools at the office. They don't see that things have changed---and not for the better. Pro football used to be fun. Today it's just a cesspool of Political Correctness and Gangland-Ethos wallowing in Dirty Money.
Only since the regular NFL season ended on December 29th, already three NFL thugs have found their way into jail. Seriously: who could respect or admire scum like these?
Pro football certainly has come a long way (down) since 1920 when the NFL was organized in Canton, Ohio for the express purpose of "raising the standard of professional football in every way possible, and to eliminate bidding for players between rival clubs," i.e. to keep corruption and big money out of the game while promoting positive contributions to the community. But those guys are all Dead White Males today; men who actually believed in such quaint idealism. The Smart Boys and the Ones in the Know in our postmodern era think those are all nice platitudes, but the real winners know whose back to stab or scratch at the opportune moment is how you get to the top.
The XFL is an attempt to break up this cabal of crime and bring pro football back to its intended purpose. Despite the pooh-poohing from the MSM, I believe that the XFL has a real chance of success. Earlier ventures like the WFL and USFL were trying to compete against an established and popular system. But, again, things have changed since the 1970s and 1980s. People then weren't turning from the NFL in sheer disgust. Now many of us are. The NFL senses the threat is real, too. They've already pulled a couple of ploys like scheduling scrimmages opposite the XFL schedule and moving the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas, where the XFL planned to put a team. But the NFL will ultimately fail because it can't offer what the XFL does: a genuine commitment to both the sport and community. Fans will actually see the difference and the NFL will continue going down the toilet.
"I, the Night Wind know many things, because I walk by night. Many strange tales of those who have stepped into the shadows...and of those things which they dare not speak."

FAT FEMINIST HAS TDS BREAKDOWN; ATTACKS MAR-A-LAGO
With the whole Impeachment farce rapidly disintegrating, it was only a matter of time before Liberals nationwide would resume having mental breakdowns and Trump Derangement Syndrome would again rise to the surface. TDS has been recorded since 2016 in the US, though psychologists and medical doctors are at a loss to explain the phenomenon. It mostly strikes Liberals, though a few RINOs occasionally are afflicted. When TDS strikes, a seemingly typical Liberal suddenly shifts from their normal snide, passive-aggressive demeanor to inexplicably insane and often violent antics. TDS has resulted in people losing their jobs, ending up in hospitals or jails, and even occasionally committing an unintentional suicide.
Today an obese Feminist member of the NYC Metro Area's Arts and Croissants crowd had a TDS attack which nearly came to a violent end.
Hannah Roemhild, a opera-singer from Connecticut and veteran of several women's marches, reportedly went berserk at Breakers Palm Beach Resort. It's not clear what triggered the TDS attack; but Roemhild ran screaming from the lounge, shouting anti-Trump slogans. She jumped on the roof of her rental car, dancing, stripping off clothes, and yelling incoherently. Police arrived, Roemhild jumped into the car and sped off in the direction of Mar-a-Lago.
Roemhild reached the President's home, ignored warnings to stop and crashed through two security checkpoints, nearly killing two guards in the process. The Secret Service opened fire on the car; at which point, Roemhild slammed the car into reverse and sped towards the airport. Deterred by police roadblocks, she then fled to a nearby motel and, according to WSVN-7 Miami, tried to break into a room there. Police surrounded the hysterical female, who was dragged away while shouting anti-Trump slogans and making obscene gestures at the shocked onlookers.
Palm Beach Police said that a second woman was taken into custody at the same time, but as of this writing we have no details. Roemhild was reportedly taken to the local police hospital to undergo drug-tests and a psychiatric evaluation.
A sad reminder that we never know where and when TDS will strike. But expect more such incidents as Impeachment continues to fail and Trump gains more and more support before the 2020 Elections.
As for President Trump, neither he nor Melania were in any danger. They were both in Washington today, and are planning to leave tonight for a weekend in Florida. While Democrats in the Senate and their followers on the street were engaging in all of this zaniness, Trump was on the job. He authorized a a new action plan to fight the Opioid Epidemic in rural areas; an Executive Order expanding resources to fight human trafficking; tightened immigration vetting processes; and imposed quarantines to prevent the spread of the Wuhan Virus. These are the kinds of things that people like Roemhild, Pelosi, and other Feminist/Left-Wing Whackos would like to stop---by force or fraud, if necessary.

LEMON, ALI, AND WILSON BEHAVE LIKE JACKASSES ON NATIONAL TV
CNN blowhard Don Lemon has once again made a complete fool of himself; this time spending nearly ten minutes of airtime laughing like a drunken sot while some stupid pundits heaped insults on Trump voters and supporters.
The background to this disgraceful spectacle followed a recent hit-piece on the President authored by arch-RINO John Bolton. Lemon was interviewing Wajahat Ali and Rick Wilson about some silly allegations made by some NPR reporter, when Wilson (pictured right) went on a (NSFW) rampage, which sent Lemon into spasms of laughter. The Whacko Left Wing and 'Never-Trump' RINO Republicans are good buddies these days.
Wilson---who himself looks like he probably started in political activism during the Eisenhower Administration---ironically started in about "the credulous Boomer rube demo who supports Donald Trump". Ali then chimed in: "They think us elitists is dumb and Trump's the smart one. You elitists with your geography, and yer maps and yer spelling and your reading!Only them thar elitists know where Ukraine is! Yuk-yuk-yuk."
"Elitists" the two bozos continued in mock-redneck voices, "You sit sippin' your lattes, looking at lines on a map! We got no use for that thar book-larnin'!" Throughout this, Lemon had his head down on his desk laughing so hard that he teared up. Well, in fairness, these two pundits are funnier than most actual Liberal comedians. But this was supposed to be a news program.
Speaking of intelligence, it's interesting that the latest poll on media confidence shows that 13% of the population trusts the media a great deal while 28% trust them most of the time. I'm certain that it's only a coincidence that these numbers closely parallel the rates of functional and total illiteracy in the United States. And, it wouldn't hurt to read again our article just previous to this one, which illustrates quite pointedly the character of those Elites who are oh-so-superior to Trump and his supporters. That guy thought he was smarter than Trump too, and now he's in jail.
But really all we have to do is look at US cities. Forbes Magazine recently the most Conservative and most Liberal US cities. Let's compare #1's, as listed on Areavibes.
Most Conservative: Mesa, Arizona. Pop. 500,000.
Cost of living: 5% lower than US average.
Crime: 9% lower than US average.
Unemployment: 8% lower than US average. Mesa's largest employers are the Mesa Public Schools, Banner Health, and Boeing.
Most Liberal: San Francisco, California. Pop. 850,000.
Cost of living: 106% higher than US average.
Crime: 141% higher than US average.
Unemployment: 7% lower than US average. SF's largest employers are the City of San Francisco, University of California-SF, and the Unified School District of San Francisco. Wells-Fargo Bank, at #4, is the only private company in the city's Top Five.
It doesn't seem like all that superior education that Liberals claim to have helped them very much. Maybe instead of yukking it up with a pair of Deep State mental midgets, Lemon and CNN should do an analysis of why Conservative-run cities actually function while Liberal ones are disaster areas.
While we're at it, let's look at how well CNN's home city of Atlanta fares. Atlanta is about 70% Democrat and currently has a Democrat mayor who recently endorsed Joe Biden and declared Atlanta a sanctuary city. Atlanta has a population of 457,000.
Cost of living: 8% higher than the US average.
Crime: 110% higher than the US average.
Unemployment: 45% higher than the US average.
But fortunately for Don Lemon, Atlanta also ranks as #3 'gay-friendly' city; which, to a homosexual millionaire like himself, compensates for the drawbacks. After all, Lemon isn't like us dumb rubes who work for a living and believe that Biology has anything to do with gender. Just watch CNN, take your Valium, and we can go back to being a happy world once again while the Elites laugh all the way to the bank.

ANOTHER ACADEMIC ELITE IN JAIL
One of the most positive things that the Trump Administration's Justice Department has been doing is draining the Swamp and putting once-untouchable self-styled 'Elites' in jail where they've belonged for a long time. Academia is one of the most corrupt and fouled sectors of the Swamp. From Headstart to Postgraduate levels, American public education has been a cesspool of corruption---operating with practically no public oversight---willing to sell out to the highest bidders while failing to educate the youth in anything other than Political Correctness, anti-Americanism, and the Art of the Graft.
Today, the FBI announced that it had bagged a big Swamp Rat at Harvard.
Dr. Charles Lieber, one of the highest-ranking professors at the formerly-prestigious school was arrested for selling classified information to the Chinese. Specifically, Lieber conveniently forgot to tell the NIH---from whom he was receiving fat research grants---that China was also paying him over $200,000 in cash and perks; along with a $1.5 million 'research grant' of their own. One of the conditions of receiving these particular federal grants, which involved sensitive nanotechnology studies, was that the research was secret. A research assistant at Boston College working on the same programs was also indicted, but had already escaped back to China. As it happened, this assistant is a Chinese national on a J-1 student visa sponsored by Lieber. The good professor also conveniently forgot to mention to ICE that she was a Lieutenant in Chinese Military Intelligence, among her other skills.
According to the FBI, Harvard University itself was unaware of Lieber's activities. That may well be true, given the uncharacteristic rigor with which the University responded.
"The charges brought by the U.S. government against Professor Lieber are extremely serious. Harvard is cooperating with federal authorities, including the National Institutes of Health, and is initiating its own review of the alleged misconduct. Professor Lieber has been placed on indefinite administrative leave and will not be allowed on campus. He will not be able to participate in his teaching or research roles." a Harvard Press Release said. This is what happens in Academia when one of its own is caught stealing---from the wrong people.
Well, at least taxpayers in China got their monies' worth. But I wonder how much American taxpayers ended up getting fleeced in this whole fiasco; not to mention how much nanotechnology American manufacturers lost to Chinese competitors. At any rate, Lieber's going to be changing his lab coat for a black-and-white striped suit and missing the Boston Cocktail Circuit for the foreseeable future.

LIBERAL MEDIA MORONS CHOKE ON KOBE BRYANT'S DEATH
I suppose that we've all heard that NBA star Kobe Bryant died yesterday in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. He was 41 years old; and nine others died in the crash including Bryant's 13 year-old daughter and another family. In the interests of full disclosure, I never followed the NBA that much; but Bryant was like Michael Jordan or Wilt Chamberlain: a household name.
Unfortunately, many on the American Left have a spectator sport of their own: which is bringing down powerful Black men. Around the turn of the Century, Bryant was falsely accused during a Feminist witch-hunt and was one of the few men in this predicament to escape with his life, fortune, and career intact.
Now I'm certain that we all realize that American Liberals are mostly a bunch of racists; ergo they're constantly projecting racist motives upon everybody else. This hypocrisy is worst of all among Academia; but the Media is a close second---despite the number of tokens and Toms they hire to perform for the entertainment of White Liberals. This tendency really manifests itself as soon as some prominent Black man succeeds and becomes too uppity for Liberal tastes; then it's #BelievetheWomen time and old-fashioned lynchings often seem more merciful in comparison.
Since the beginning of the Trump Era, support for Conservatives among Black men has been growing; which in turn has caused Liberals in the Media to lose it more often and drop their masks. This really showed in their coverage of Kobe Bryant's death. Clip-haired MSNBC newswoman Allison Morris suffered a real Freudian Slip, explaining that Bryant was "perfectly cast for the Los Angeles Niggers...ooops! I-I- mean the Los Angeles Lakers!"
MSNBC went into full damage-control mode denying (no doubt after some rapid audio editing) that such a thing was even said. However, as we have seen before, that such sentiments are not all that uncommon among the Media Left. Usually, the Elites restrict expressing their attitudes towards our duskier brothers to private conversations during exclusive cocktail parties and $20,000-a-plate fundraisers. Occasionally, though, the Amphetamines run out and they explode in public.
Meanwhile, over in England---where the virtue-signalling is even more obnoxious and condescending than here---the BBC choked in the clutch and really made themselves look especially stupid. The quality of the BBC has really declined during the last few years: no doubt occasioned by mass-depression over Brexit, the Trump victory, and the scandals involving the buffoons in Buckingham Palace. While reporting the news of Kobe Bryant's death last night, the network ran some clips of Kobe in NBA action. The only problem was that the clips presented were of NBA star LeBron James.
Oh well. After all, they all look alike to White Liberals, don't they?
And nasty Feminist Washington Post reporter Felicia Sonmez---who was a teenager when Kobe Bryant was falsely accused of rape---got thrown off of Twitter. Even though Kobe Bryant was fully exonerated during a fair trial, the Feminists have never forgiven him for proving his innocence.
The Washington Post, caught between pandering to Feminists and pretending to care about the Bryant Tragedy, quickly invented some story about personal information being leaked, or something. The bottom line here is that the Corporate Media is, overall, spiraling downward faster than the Elites can control the damage. It ought to be obvious by now that the English-speaking Mass Media is in need of a thorough overhaul before their credibility sinks into complete oblivion.

THE CHINESE CORONAVIRUS AND AMERICAN PANDEMIC HYSTERIA
The American Media hyenas are once again seized with a bad case of Epidemic Fever. Whenever ratings get bad, the American press often casts about for some new, exotic disease to fan fears of a global pandemic. Sadly, in today's America, mass-hysteria is not very difficult to induce among the general public.
A few days ago, a type of pneumonia caused by an unidentified virus began being detected in hospitals in and near Wuhan, China and was responsible for several fatalities. To its credit, the Chinese Government reacted rapidly. Medical experts from all over China went to the scene.
The main problem that China faced however, is that Chinese New Year is tomorrow (January 25th). Just like our holidays here, people travel. President Xi took the decisive though controversial step of placing Wuhan---a city the size of Los Angeles---under Quarantine. This has never happened in China's recent history, and the CPC newspaper, The Global Times published an editorial appealing to Wuhan's citizens to patriotism and understanding.
The other threat that China faces from such a drastic step is the threat of panic: especially with Soros-instigated unrest in Hong Kong and elsewhere. This doesn't seem to have happened in China so far; although Xinhua News reported yesterday that China's largest retailer, Alibaba, issued a directive warning its franchises against profiteering on respiratory masks, which have been in short supply since the breakout.
It's kind of shameful when we consider that reactions to emergencies in America usually happen the opposite way. Instead of appealing to people's better natures, our media fans panic; instead of the relative calm as in Wuhan, we get looting and violent rampages; our businesses turn into Black Markets and gouge consumers for the last possible dime. And Chinese politicians take decisive action while ours posture and pontificate while doing nothing of any substance.
As the Global Times' op-ed makes clear, the Quarantine decision was taken to keep the virus from spreading all over China and beyond on account of the holidays. But the US Corporate Media and numerous conspiracy theorists (which sadly today amount to nearly the same thing) have painted the whole thing in Apocalyptic terms. The reality is that China already turning the tide against the outbreak.
The latest update from the Chinese National Health Commissariat states that they have confirmed 830 cases so far; 25 people have died and 34 others have been treated and released from Wuhan hospitals. While this is a serious situation, it doesn't exactly sound like a global pandemic. Less than a dozen cases have been found outside of China; including two in the United States. The ones in the US were found because China gave our authorities a list of persons who'd recently traveled here from Wuhan.
The World Health Organization declared after an emergency meeting that: "We are not declaring a public health emergency of international concern....Make no mistake, though, this is an emergency in China. But it has not yet become a global health emergency."
The fact that some victims have already been cured and that WHO has already determined that the virus is a mutated pathogen that jumped from an animal shows that the scientists are close to stopping this virus already. Some unconfirmed reports suggest that the virus may have originated in infected snakes. This could be so since snake meat and snake eggs are eaten in parts of China; and various parts of the serpent are employed in traditional Chinese folk-medicine.
Virology is a complicated and esoteric science. While we don't know everything about these pernicious organisms, the specialists in this field know more than most of us. Specialists, incidentally, don't include the American Media. For those concerned about the Emergency in China, there are many scientists monitoring the situation, and we should pay attention to them and not hired blowhards on CNN and MSNBC who are often tied to Big Pharma.

RED PILLS DEPRESSED OVER DALROCKIAN DOWNFALL
Yesterday's news that Dalrock---one of the ringleaders of the Red Pill Cult---announced that his blog was closing has sent several of his acolytes into a seriously Blue Funk. As of this writing, there are about 250 of these lost souls pining away because they no longer have anyone telling them what to think and do. Dalrock hasn't deleted his site, as threatened; but today said that the sheer pathos among his flock has led him to reconsider archiving it. This isn't really surprising given an ego as massive as Dalrock's. Hearing hymns and praises to himself has been the hallmark of his blog during the last decade.
There are several pingbacks at his site leading to the blogsites of his lesser-known imitators. The most sycophantic of them all was written by another high-profile Game Cultist, Rollo Tomassi at the blog The Rational Male. His entire article, Exit Dalrock, reads like the lamentations of a woman whose boyfriend just terminated a long romance.
"I am so depressed!" Tomassi wails from the outset, "We've been together for ten years!" "I've been talking to him, trying to get a reason for his decision!" "The Blogosphere is dead and meaningless without him!" Boo-hoo-hoo, etc.
The histrionics aside, the Blogosphere is not dead. The fact is that Red Pill blogs are withering and dying because they don't really offer anything to men. In its heyday a few years ago, the Manosphere was a resource for Men's Rights and other issues that men actually care about. In the last few years, it's become nothing but a sludge-pit of confidence-men, bullies who abuse women, and overall a herd of racist pigs. They promote some of the most utterly absurd pseudosciences, as well as the most idiotic conspiracy theories imaginable.
All this is bad enough; but what drives normal men (and women) away from them is that it is painfully obvious that they conflate pointless violence with masculinity. They encourage senseless violence openly; and they boast of their bloody fantasies. Even though they talk tough behind a keyboard, when called out and confronted they behave like utter poltroons. In spite of these debilities, none of them entertain the slightest doubt that they are smarter and better than other men; coveted by the most 'high-value' women and the continual targets of other men's envy. In other words, blogs like Dalrock's are disappearing because more and more men are awakening to the fact that they are mostly the work of arrogant and pretentious crackpots who talk like perverts and psychopaths, and are very likely on the local police's watchlist.
A man's instincts tell him that these are people to avoid; and that hobnobbing with them can't possibly lead to any good end. The way for young men who are insecure about their masculinity isn't to take some stupid 'Red Pill.' Pick a hero you admire and study him and try to imitate his virtues. That's how men have always done it, without fiddle and farce.
