THE PARTY'S OVER

      Anyone who's been following the news lately has no doubt heard that the quondam opposition to the Regime has unearthed some major issues that spell the impending doom of the 'Administration.' The Republicans have not explained to us why building a Red Wave in 2022 was a better strategy than supporting a legitimate government in 2020. Nonetheless optimism among the Right is booming despite the Junta mowing down our Civilization and our Rights with an exponential speed. 

     The first major political earthquake (so we're told) involved our 44th President. He invited his political and Hollywood cronies to his estate in Martha's Vineyard for a huge birthday bash. And to the horror of the American Conservative Movement, Obama and many other Elites were seen not wearing masks nor practicing social distancing. 

    From what I've seen of the party itself---especially concerning the guests who attended---I probably would have wanted a mask, gloves, and maybe goggles had I been there. I'll bet the place literally stunk. The videos leaked to the MSM to me gave off a really unsanitary 'vibe.' I can only imagine what scenes of debauchery and perversion went on off-camera. But however heterodox this may seem to modern Conservatives, I seem to think that the Elites are doing far worse things to society than rioting in drunken orgies out on some Atlantic island. It also happens that I don't believe in Mask Mandates and Social Distancing. So if these Liberals are flaunting their own laws they are hypocrites: but what would that make a Conservative for condemning them for not doing what I'm not doing myself?

    I did draw a delineation here, because most so-called Conservatives are going along with masking, vaxxing, distancing, and social shaming right along with the Liberals. So to them, Obama's Birthday Blowout really is a big deal. In the Real World, however, it's about as relevant as the controversies that Hollywood idiots start in social media every day.

   The other major scandal involves the impending downfall of New York dictator governor Andrew Cuomo. The Republicans are seriously hoping that Cuomo's scandals will open the Empire State and Gotham City to Republican control again.

    There are bipartisan demands for Cuomo's resignation and/or impeachment. Not because Cuomo illegally seized dictatorial powers and suspended Constitutional Rights in New York, though. And it's not because he intentionally killed thousands of senior citizens by warehousing them with influenza victims; or because he bankrupted thousands of businesses with curfews and martial law quarantines and lockdowns. It wasn't because of the numbers of his associates who ended up in jail when Trump was draining the swamp; nor because of his complicity in the Election frauds of 2020. Cuomo has been accused of the only crime in Postmodern America considered worse than Treason, Murder, and Corruption: Cuomo is accused of being a White Male who made sexual advances toward members of a different gender. 

   I'm hoping that readers see the obvious problem with Conservative approaches to both the Obama and Cuomo scandals. It's not just that these stories are distractions from far more serious issues or that they both reflect a troublesome immaturity of American political judgement. Condemning Obama and Cuomo (for the reasons given in the official narrative) is giving validation to their underlying premises. As we mentioned above, one cannot criticize Obama's celebration without accepting that the Scamdemic and the accompanying policies are legitimate. Likewise, as pointed out in an earlier article, condemning Cuomo's actions are inextricably connected with the anti-heterosexual hysteria fanned by Feminists and Red-Pilled Incels. 

  The unfortunate reality is that most Republicans are actually Neocons and Churchians who do agree with the Left; and this means that the Republican Party and American Conservatism, as a political movement, are dead. The so-called 'Silent Majority' is long dead as well. We haven't been getting a long line of RINOs and other deadweight because they don't have a large---a majority---constituency. The events of the last 18 months have ripped the mask off what we had believed was an opposition. 

   There's no point either in listening to these grandstanding public figures who are talking tough now, but have gone along with everything. Senator Rand Paul, for example, has been making headlines with calls of 'rising up and resisting'. He never said anything of the kind last year, when mass-resistance actually would have made a difference. Senator Paul complains that the Regime is out-of-control. That's true, but Rand Paul voted to confirm four of the Junta's Cabinet Ministers: Lloyd Austin (Defense); Gina Raimondo (Commerce); Pete Buttigieg (Transportation); and David McDonough (Veterans' Affairs). He also voted in favor of the Regime's candidates for US Trade Representative, UN Ambassador, Chairman of the Office of Science and Technology, and Chair of the US Small Business Administration. Just as great a Patriot as he is a Conservative, Rand Paul voted with every other Senate Republican to replace Independence Day with the Critical Race Theorists' holiday, Juneteenth. 

    The truth is that we're not getting any help from any of these jerks. We need to accept the reality that we're a minority now and that we need to start working on building networks among the marginalized. Adrienne had a good post up today with some suggestions on how. 

    Those who believe that we're really going to take back the Government via the Republican Party won't admit it, but their entire hopes are based upon basic premise: that the Democrats and the Elites who actually control them have so much respect for the Rule of Law and the Popular Will that they will permit a fair and transparent election. 2020 showed that their side is willing to burn the country to the ground before they allow that to happen. The only way I can imagine a Republican win would be if the Junta made itself so thoroughly hated that they allow a RINO to take over until the public calms down. But even that diversion is a long shot. The Elites have established very specific timelines for their goals.*(see note). The Junta has already begun implementing WEF policies and even appointed sleazy John Kerry an unofficial ambassador to Davos. 

   There's no turning back now: Making America Great Again no longer has a chance of happening. We have to focus on building our communities and conserving our traditions for the future. 

******

Note: Just to illustrate the complete insanity plaguing our society today, fake-news outlet Thompson-Reuters' official fact-checkers claim that the WEF has no such agenda. This, in spite of the fact that the WEF advertises their goals openly on their official websites. The state of Denial that Ameroboobs are living in must be historically unprecedented. 

   

YES, TAKING THE RED PILL IS JUST AS BAD

   It took a strong dose of White Boy Summer last weekend to undo the imagery from that horrible video featured in our last post. Our community kicked off its County Fair season with a classic car show, some Monster Truck rallies, and some craft-shows which are ongoing through this week. I took in a lot of pizza, hot-dogs, and ice-cold Coca-Cola checking out the good work a lot of guys did on their vehicles. As for me, maybe in a year or two again (depending upon whether the Republic is still around). I have way too many projects backed up to take on another one. 😇

  The one thing that struck me (though it probably shouldn't have) was how few younger men (say 15-30 or so) were around. It occurred to me afterwards, though that at bottom such displays represent a lot of hard work, imagination, dedication, a certain level of intelligence and skill which led to achievement: things that our current generation of men aren't widely noted for possessing. A depressing poll reported by the Catholic League last week explains a lot of it. Building and creating things are deeply rooted in Masculine nature: it has its correspondence with child-bearing in the Feminine one. Since we've managed to produce a generation of men that doesn't even understand that boys and girls are actually different, it's no surprise that men have basically turned into parasites with no interest in achieving much of anything. 

   There is a minority of young men out there who sense something's wrong; but the Misandry permeating our culture right now---along the scarcity of contemporary positive role models---doesn't offer them much guidance. Blogger Insanity Bytes had a good article lately on the superficiality of so much so-called 'traditional' guidance. She writes:

    "My faith now totally revolves around my performance, mostly how well I perform for YOU, how beneficial my behavior is to YOU...So what is responsible for the decline of America, for the fact that we now have men without chests, for us being so complacent, so easily led by fear? We have been taught to root our faith in an act, in a performance, in a set of Western behavioral standards, in a culture. We’re all very compliant and obedient, tripping over ourselves to win people favor in fact, but obedient to what?? To whom?"

    In a healthy society, men understand that they are first true to themselves, and by extension true to their neighbors and country---ultimately all rooted in being true to God. But we're not a healthy society, and there's been another toxic movement afoot preying on young men. We've spoken of them many times---a loosely confederated online cult which offers men the promise of reclaiming masculinity by swallowing their programs (which they call taking the Red Pill). The Red Pill is dangerous for men because it does exactly what IB describes: it teaches one how to act like a man without actually being one. There are a whole bunch of these saps running around the Web, and they profit off many younger men desperate for any sign of life among American males. 

    "Taking the Red Pill" or following any of these clowns is like walking into a swamp where you see solid ground---until you step on it and fall into a deep pit of foul waters. The Red Pills are the same kinds of low-T creeps that Sam and Colby proved to be in our last article: the only difference is that the Red Pill teaches you how to put up a front to disguise it. These guys always get exposed in the end; because real manhood is manifested in action---not just cheap talk and posing. 

    A great example of this fake manhood in action happened this weekend in a story that went viral in the Manosphere. Mike Schiele, a podcaster and comedian who goes by the name 'Mersh' is a friend of our blog and has exposed a lot of these red-pilled frauds over the years. On Friday night, Mersh was in Tampa with some friends when a Red Pill who goes by the online name of Baked Alaska confronted him in public. We've had occasion to mention this Baked Alaska bozo a few times ourselves, here, here, and here. His real name is Tim Treadstone, and is suspected by many---and not without good reason---of being a paid informant for the Deep State. Mersh has been exposing a lot of Treadstone's shady dealings recently

   Basically what happened is that Baked Alaska appeared with some of his goons (and probably lawyers) live-streaming him calling out Mersh on a public sidewalk, throwing insults, daring Mersh to fight him, etc,---real manly Alpha leader behavior. Especially, since as Mersh pointed out, there were police foot-patrols on both ends of the sidewalk (which Treadwell didn't show in his camera angle). Mersh rightly saw that he was being baited and withdrew from the scene; which has since sent Treadwell off to beating his chest online talking like a he-man. 

   Mersh gave his side of the story on last night's broadcast of Nightwave Radio. He explained that he had a lot to lose by getting into a public brawl with this guy. I agree with Mersh's decision, though I'd certainly be plotting revenge. I sympathize with Mersh because I've been in that situation. Our legal system used to recognize a concept of fighting words. That legal doctrine held that when punks like Treadwell talked their way into getting their butts kicked, it was considered a form of self-defense. A few decades ago, Mersh could have given this thug the punishment he asked for and probably would not even have been charged. But that was then, this is now. Greedy trial lawyers and anti-male activists have so cut down the self-defense laws that scum like these can abuse their betters in public with impunity and a man's only real defense is to take it as stoically as possible. 

  That, however, is another topic. The point here is that Treadwell exposed the shallowness of the Red Pill more than anything else. This isn't how real men act; this is how passive-aggressive little dirtbags acted in Middle School who'd provoke other guys into fights and set it up beforehand so that the other guys got in trouble for it. Passive-Aggressiveness is apparent in both Baked Alaska's video and the video in the previous article. In the previous story, Sam and Colby talked all tough until the moment of truth came and they showed themselves cowards. In this case, Baked Alaska hid behind the protection of a system that he's gaming and talked tough without having to look like a coward. That's all the Red Pill is really about; faking it and putting up a facade without ever having to prove oneself either with words or deeds. 

   The Red Pill is really a concomitant of Feminism and depends upon a 'deconstructed' masculinity for its success and promotion. Our culture promotes passive-aggressiveness in men. It depreciates everything truly masculine as 'toxic' and makes heroes out of both feminized men and out of bully-boys as well. Look at pro sports: the cheat who plays dirty and wins-at-all-costs is idolized and so is the limp-wristed openly gay player and losers like Colin Kaepernick. Look at the military: punks who sit behind consoles and launch missiles on defenseless peoples are war-heroes today; so are the brave men and women in uniform* who are purging so-called 'toxic masculinity' from our ranks. Look at Corporate America; the woke CEO is the new model businessman; the perverts in HR and PR departments are also hailed as business leaders. And look at our Government: the conniving, go-along-to-get along Conservative is supported by one faction, the Leftist promoting the Great Reset is supported by the other. Fair play, standing for principle, the courage of a conviction---these masculine qualities are laughed at, if not openly persecuted. 

   Young men today need to be aware of this false dichotomy and avoid falling into the Red Pill trap. Online today when you see men talking about getting red-pilled, becoming 'Alphas' or learning 'Game', it's best to turn and head in the other direction. Remember that in the past there were men who became men in spite of negative social circumstances too. What many boys and young men did was to pick leaders of the past---the kinds of men whose statues the Liberals are destroying---and learn about them. Take them as your role models. (It's recommended that you try and read material on them published before 1980 or so; which are usually free of PC biases in the writings). Granted it's harder to become a man today anywhere in the Anglosphere than ever before. But men are so constituted that the greater the obstacle overcome the more secure one becomes in his true strengths. 

**********************************

(*this term, BTW, was started as a public talking-point by George Bush Jr.; who incidentally campaigned on a promise to reverse the feminization of the military started by the Clintons. Previously, Conservative pundits had a stock phrase, "our brave men in uniform" but the Right quickly forgot all about that. We might recall that Bush made it a point in nearly every speech to emphasize that the Taliban "didn't let girls go to school" that's even worse to most Conservatives than training and equipping international terrorists who kill Americans). 

   

 

THE REAL TOXIC MASCULINITY

      A few years ago, we started (a now closed) site that was directed at creating a resource to guide American men. It's been painfully apparent for the last decade at least that the United States is suffering a crisis of Masculinity. Nationally, we seem to have run out of it, and can't even seem to be able to define it anymore. That's one of the reasons why the blog ended up closing; not because it wasn't getting readers, but because it wasn't meeting its purpose. Most of its readers were men who already were in sync with its message, and while they probably picked up some self-improvement tips and were entertained by the stories, it became apparent that we were simply talking over most younger guys' heads. It really became noticeable when Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life came out. When you have a huge percentage of men who think that being told to stand up straight and make their beds every morning are life-changing revelations,---and even have these debated by a lot of other men---then obviously writing articles about building leadership skills and complimentarian relationships was bound not to gain any traction. 

    The sad state of our men was brought home again today when I had occasion to revisit a (then) cold-case that had piqued my interest. It happened a little over two years ago. The police have zero interest in investigating it any further, which is probably understandable since the deceased has since been identified and there's nothing but circumstantial evidence of foul play. To summarize what happened, in the Summer before the Scamdemic and Color Revolution broke out, a hiker was going up a trial in the 'Enchanted Forest' in Altadena, California. The park of this name was formerly the rancho of a lumber company executive named Charles Cobb. The estate fell into foreclosure later, and in 1971 (back in the day when Americans cared more about community than turning a fast buck), money was raised to turn the land into a park.

   At any rate, this hiker noticed the unmistakable smell of something dead and, upon investigating further, found a tent in the underbrush with a dead body inside. The police determined that she was a woman at least 55 years old and had been dead around five months. This was July, 2019. 

  This may sound like a relatively routine police case, except that almost five months to the day earlier, a Youtube video got posted which seemed to throw a different aspect on the case. A group of four Millennial idiots who host a really stupid monetized channel with over 5 million subscribers decided to film a night-time trek through the Enchanted Forest, hoping to document alleged cult activity going on there. I'm posting the link to their video, with the caveat that it is excruciatingly painful---on many different levels---to watch. If I had sons like any of these guys, I'd seriously contemplate suicide: it's that bad. 

  So these four fellows had gone only a short distance down the trail when they heard a woman crying out for help. And they did what any average American man would do these days: they turned tail and ran. Even though they made sure they had the cameras rolling for good content, it didn't even dawn on them to call the police. 

   Eventually, when they felt it safe to return, they slinked back and found some of what women call 'accessories' strewn about; and I might add here that they were of the type a woman approaching her golden years would have worn as opposed to a school-age girl (the woman found dead in the tent was 68 years old). And it's notable also that the Coroner's Report listed the cause of death as what we non-medical people refer to as a heart attack; something that easily could have been brought on by a group of attackers in a woman of that age with those pre-existing conditions. In other words, the poltroonery of these four men very well might have allowed a fatality which could have been prevented. 

  All of this would have been bad enough, but the producers of this video didn't even have enough shame not to post it. It's gotten over 8 million views since 2019 and controversy around it still goes on. As far as I know, the producers have never issued an apology or expressed remorse in any way to the woman's family; or even acknowledged her existence. 

  We hear a lot about toxic masculinity these days, but this is a specimen of what vastated Manhood really looks like. In the village I grew up in, these guys would have been run out of town for something like this. Granted, they may have staged the video and just coincidentally a corpse was found in the area later on that matched the circumstances they portrayed. It's possible---we don't know all the facts. But it doesn't the fact that their conduct---real or staged---was a disgrace to men everywhere. There were four of them who could have intervened, but chose instead not to get involved and save their own skins. And why call the police when you can get exclusive footage of someone dying and cash in on it? 

  Masculinity is not toxic because there's anything inherently wrong with men; it's been poisoned and made toxic by dysfunctional families, corrupt schools, a degenerate media, and a venal Government-Corporate Complex. We've managed to raise a generation of boys who seem to have lost the instinct to preserve and protect. In fact, the last 18 months or so seem to indicate that they've lost their instinct for self-defense as well. There's a very good chance that we won't recover anytime soon.

  The majority of comments on these videos bear this out. Most are indifferent to what went on; some were critical but outnumbered by these schmucks' defenders. The linked video was 'liked' 244,000 to 3,000. 

"People use girls screams to lure innocent people in and kill them. If they all went over to check what was happening they could've gotten killed!"

"The amount of people who think they should bring a weapon to protect themselves."👇

"They could’ve also put themselves in danger I mean, they did. Even if they would’ve went and helped her they would’ve gotten killed themselves."

"Why hate on someone for that? i would've been scared out of my mind and would've ran for my life too."

"If you would call 911 you would just get more attention pulled towards you then the Satan people would be mad at you and start trying to kill you too!"

"Why would someone hate on them for leaving? They were chased by a freaking killer cult! I would leave too!"

"You must be a Trump supporter or something. You can tell the screaming was a prank or was to lure them in because no killer would let their victim scream. So when you call the police all they're gonna find is nothing. Again you'll be wasting their time."

There we have it: the Ameroboob in all his glory. Not a thought about a fellow-human being in trouble. It's all "what's in it for me?" "I got mine, that's their tough luck!" "Blow your ideals, the thing to do is survive!" such is the spirit of the New America. That's why the Great Reset scum are running the table right now. Americans don't care if the Elites take the whole pie just as long as I get my slice!

Our culture has failed our men; and failed them radically. Some tried to warn that we were headed in this direction. Now we're here. We need real men and we don't have them.

    

THE NEW WAVE OF TERROR

    It's difficult to imagine that only two Summers ago, America was on track to being Made Great Again. The economy was moving faster than it had in over 20 years; jobs were coming back from foreign outsourcing. We were on track to Energy Independence again by 2025. Bureaucratic overreach was being scaled back; the Opioid Crisis was being reversed; gangs broken up, the Government investing in infrastructure, research and development again. Americans could put up religious displays again without fear of persecution---we were generally looking forward to 2020 and second Trump term tackling school choice, expanding infrastructure reform, and curbing price inflation.

   Then one day, a bunch of assholes showed up with a blueprint to 'reset' us back to Deep State times. Playing off of Americans' love for LARPing and Real-Time Soap Operas, they turned a Chinese lab leak into a national meltdown and employed it as cover for a Color Revolution. As usual, Americans acted first, and thought later; throwing all the gains of the previous three years away and many of our remaining Civil Liberties along with them. Along the way, a few of the realists even saw a golden opportunity to cash in on the panic, and some small fortunes were made. The Elites couldn't take our freedoms fast enough to keep up with the hysteria; and so when they finally overthrew the Government, they have been trying to catch up with the public ever since. 

   Today, following some recent threats from the degenerate Dr. Fauci, the Regime's Ministry of Health announced new orders 'recommendations' to bring back the Mandatory Mask. And right on cue, the Corporate Media suddenly produced a flurry of articles with the usual COVID hysteria; a 'surge' and 'record numbers of cases' being the most common propaganda-points I'm seeing in the news feed. 

   The Ameroboobs of course are already buying into it wholesale---just like they do any 'emergency' that feeds into their hunger for drama. I doubt there will be any resistance this time---probably even more compliance. The American male has sunk to the level where the State could probably order him to wear a mask but stop wearing pants; and tomorrow we'd see 4/5 of our men in public in just their underwear. 

   Unsurprisingly, the 'surge' is supposedly happening in predominantly Conservative regions. Like last Summer, when the 'pandemic' suddenly went dormant wherever Antifa and BLM were rioting, it's now supposedly come back hardest among populations of those who doubt the vaccine. The transparency behind this latest fraud ought to be obvious. The Junta's masters in Big Pharma and the Insurance Cartels are below their vax-quotas to turn an acceptable profit-margin, so they're bringing back the hated Mask to put public pressure on the 'Unvaccinated'. Instead of turning against an illegitimate 'government' as he should; the Ameroboob can always be counted on to turn against his neighbor. 

  As proof of this, just note the number of public venues voluntarily requiring Vax Passports. Small businesses: the supposed backbone of America's economy, have been leading the charge here. These are the same venues which the Revolutionaries callously locked down and turned violent thugs against just a year ago; but where money is concerned, the American of today isn't going to let a little thing like that stand between him and his bottom line. 

  Expect in the coming months an all-out pogrom against the 'Unvaccinated'. We're about to be turned into an object of public hate like Soviet Kulaks or German Jews were in the 1930s. The Regime already initiated the program of creating a quasi-Secret Police agency: The Vaccine Strike Force, empowered to ignore your privacy and property rights to offer you the chance of joining up or being put on a blacklist. The Vax, like the Mask, is a symbol of submission. 

  And don't make the mistake of believing that all of this will go away in some electoral 'Red Wave'. Just remember that what the Regime is doing now with compulsory masks and vaxes was made possible by those 'Conservatives' who exploited previous 'crises' to mandate things like drug tests, national age-limits, and sobriety checkpoints. 

     We have to start facing the reality that it's not just our national leaders, but our national character that is corrupt. If there really was a 'Silent Majority' it never would have let things deteriorate to this point. What we have to do is begin unifying within our own communities and breaking our dependence on the Beltway at the personal and communal levels as much as possible. And please don't succumb to any of this stupid 'Red Pill' advice about going with the flow and being an army of one. Interdependence with those whom we trust is going to be more important now than ever before.

   

   

      

DREAMS OF THE OLD KALE-YARD

     It's been awhile since we've had a food-related post, other than covering some of the food shortages and the Elites' schemes for controlling our diets. Right now, however, we're about mid-way through White Boy Summer and more cookouts and clambakes than usual are going on. Admittedly, we do reach a certain age though, when things like surfing and beach-volleyball are best left to those who don't take quite as long to recover from that kind of strenuous recreation; and so our experience is best employed manning the grills, bonfires, etc. 😉

   One other fellow of middle-age was discussing his campaign this Summer to lose weight and get in shape (something that hanging around with younger guys often brings to mind). He was describing a type of nutritional drink he made, but complained that he disliked the taste of kale. I frankly asked why he ate that stuff and set him to thinking. 

  Americans have, for some reason, adopted similar attitudes towards food as their dysfunctional attitudes towards sex. Eating anything that is actually good is considered unhealthy, or dangerous; while consuming things that our ancestors long ago gave up on is virtuous somehow. Kale is a good example. Even though vegetables which are actually edible are sufficient to keep one in good health, it's somehow not trendy to eat them anymore. Kale itself is a European weed that poor people once ate when they couldn't afford better vegetables, or was gathered during wartime shortages. Some farms in the old country kept 'kale-yards' where they cultivated it to feed their goats. 

  Marketing pros in this country saw an opportunity to capitalize on the gullibility of American consumers and promoted the product. We've become conditioned to believe that anything that peasants or primitive peoples eat must be healthier and more noble that civilized diets. The fact that developed countries have life expectancies 20-30 years longer than those cultures doesn't seem to occur to them. Madison Avenue has a long history of doing this, even touting 'miracle foods' which are common with only the name changed. I recall a few years ago, the new wonder-grain was Kasha. Kasha is simply the Yiddish word for buckwheat. 

  All of this supposed health-consciousness hasn't a lot of results to show for it. Americans are said to be the greatest consumers of these products, and yet we're the world leaders in morbid obesity, declining fertility and birth rates, and the most over-medicated society on the planet. Unfortunately, to most Americans, reality contradicted by expert opinion doesn't count for very much. The same people who protest that a McDonald's hamburger contains nothing but meat by-products think that synthetic meats and vegetable proteins are healthier than real red meats. And we should also note that in spite of our dietary superiority, we are the world's largest consumers of vitamin supplements. 

   I suppose this level of ignorance isn't surprising in a culture which holds as settled science that gender is determined by feelings; that bad weather is caused by internal combustion engines; that marijuana is safer than tobacco; that wearing masks prevent pandemics, etc. Americans are no less ignorant when it comes to food. 

  Most of this ignorance has to do with bad parenting and faulty education. Americans today---while they stand as wholly supportive of parental rights---prefer that parental responsibility be assumed by the Government. Schools used to pick up some of the task by offering courses in Health Sciences and Home Economics; but the latter is gone and the former is run by agenda-driven ideologues. What we've produced is a population of fat, frigid females and low-T, passive-aggressive males who don't know that cheese is produced from milk but have hubris enough to believe that they are qualified to manage a national food supply. The most ridiculous example of that was in last Summer's short-lived Chaz Republic in Seattle, when the Revolutionaries addressed their new country's food supply issue by seizing a vacant lot and planting Swiss Chard there.

    Granted, there are many of us like my friend mentioned above who simply get taken in by the slick marketing and junk science. Those things are so pervasive today that we can't help but fall prey to it on occasion. In the interests of full disclosure, I once decided as part of a 'buy local' campaign to consume only local microbrews and wines. Those concoctions were so bad that today I can't drink wine at all and prefer Root Beer to anything resembling the Golden Ale. The wines were almost as bad as the Vinegar Switchels that certain elders used to drink back in the day because they thought that promoted health. BTW, I've recently seen switchels popping up in health-food stores, although under different aliases. 

   The best way to maintain a healthy diet is to eat balanced meals with about as many calories as you use in a normal day. To lose weight, exercise more and eat less calories. Stop listening to the fake 'experts' and above all, don't assume that everything that tastes bad is good for you or vice-versa. Listen to your body because that will tell you what you need far more reliably than some media blowhard who's been hired by Big Ag. Common sense tells you that eating should be a pleasurable---not a guilty---experience. 

   

   

WHY OUR SIDE IS LOSING

      Earlier in the week, the Regime handed down its first prison sentence in the political show-trials of the January 6th Insurrection---a name that has a distinctively Communist ring to it. What these alleged 'domestic terrorists' actually did, of course, was less than Leftist kooks did during the Kavanaugh Confirmation Hearings. And, in less 'woke' times, a march on the Capitol might be considered an understandable reaction to a putsch where a group simply declared itself winners of an election and seized power. But those were the days when American men still had self-respect, a love of freedom, and functional Testosterone levels; today, not so much. 

    In the past 8 months, the Conservative faction in American politics has done about this what it usually does: sit on the sidelines and do nothing while the Left tramples Human Rights into the ground. Yes, there has been a lot of talking---not though to the people who could actually do anything about it. I mean, a delegation of Republican Congressmen and Senators could meet with the Junta and try to secure their release. They could hold down critical legislation until the issue is addressed. They could even demand that the Supreme Court intervene: in fact, governors of States where these prisoners reside could do the same thing. Another thing they could do---which might even get some bipartisan support---is to repeal the Patriot Act and other Bush Administration laws that made things like charging Americans as domestic terrorists or enemy combatants and restricting due process for those so accused possible. 

    Yes, the Party of Principle, the Defenders of the Constitution, could do those things and maybe even have other options which their crack legal teams could devise. But they prefer instead to fight the good fight on social media. 

   One of those online bastions of Conservative thought had an article this morning about the newest standout females stepping in and taking charge: Marjorie Taylor Greene. (We should point out for non-American readers that, while Conservatives talk about traditional gender roles, the same Oedipal Complexes and Sexual Masochism so prevalent among our male population today afflicts the political Right as much as the Left. Males of both sides really prefer submission to a powerful mother-figure over the hard work and integrity it took to be an old-fashioned Statesman).

   At any rate, the Congresswoman seemed less bothered by the treatment of American citizens than by the fact that the Junta is disproportionately targeting people on the political Right.

   "8 months in prison for walking in the Capitol & taking a selfie in the senate? Did he assault anyone, steal anything, or cause damage to the Capitol? BLM rioters were let off their charges in NY & other states. During covid lockdowns, CA let murderers & rapists out of jail."

   What do the cases of the BLM in New York or prison releases in California have to do with the January 6th case? Nothing. Is she arguing that 8 months would have been acceptable if others got longer sentences? Anyway, she goes on:

   "The stories coming out seem to be political targeting designed for intimidation. Has there been an investigation into the BLM rioters who were bailed out from Kamala & Ilhan sharing the Minnesota Freedom Fund bail bond fundraising links? And their friends, family, & followers?"

   Well, no kidding! This is how Revolutionaries behave, in case nobody's noticed. This is a great example of why nobody takes Conservatives seriously. We have a massive Human Rights violation ongoing and the best that our leadership can come up with is "your side riots too and doesn't get punished." 

   The bottom line here is that American citizens should not be getting thrown into dungeons, held indefinitely without bail or charges, subject to torture and brutal prison conditions regardless of what they are accused of doing. This entire case probably violates at least a dozen Constitutional provisions and Amendments, and that should be the issue. 

   

    Our Founding Fathers came out of a political system where these kinds of 'legal proceedings' were normative. Being accused of a crime was considered something like a personal insult to their Royal Majesties and treated accordingly. This January 6th Case is of the same stripe: the Elites, their toadies in the Media, and their hired judges and prosecutors are all simply butthurt because a few people thumbed their noses at their authority and now they want revenge: to make examples of them. 

   Dinesh D'Souza, another renown Conservative thinker chimed in on the discussion: “The sentencing of Paul Hodgkins is a window into the face of American injustice. The problem isn’t just the Biden DOJ; it’s also Obama appointed judges willing to destroy the lives of working-class people solely for being Trump supporters." It happens awkwardly enough for D'Souza, however, that so far the only person charged in connection with January 6th was released from custody on bail by an Obama-appointed judge.

  None of this was even legal in the United States until October of 2001. Actually I suspect that this is a major reason for such a milquetoast reaction from the Right: they would have to own up to the fact that Senate RINOs under Clinton and an entirely Republican Administration under Bush set every legal precedent for nearly all of the crimes that the Junta has gotten away with and more that they tend to commit. 

   These injustices aren't going to go away because the Right puts its heads in the sand; and public support for the Right is going to keep dwindling until they stand up and face the facts. The Republicans have to admit responsibility and take action to correct their mistakes because their obfuscations aren't fooling anybody. Something else that Republican leaders may wish to consider is that once the Regime has finished sacrificing the January 6th 'rioters', it's unlikely that their bloodlust is going to be satisfied; they'll soon be seeking other Right-Wing extremists to hunt down. 

TEACHING CRITICAL RACE THEORY

      So tonight will perusing a few online articles, I across the usual fare among 'Conservative' authors of some reputation with their typical refrain. "Oh, dear. Look what that awful Biden is doing to America. Goodness me. If we don't turn things around soon {i.e., by voting in Republicans like Bruce Jenner and Tim Scott} we could soon devolve into tyranny!" 

      We actually are devolving into tyranny; that isn't my issue with articles like these. My issue is with their solution. Assuming that there are even going to be elections in 2022/24, let's look back from the time President Reagan left office in 1989 until today. That's 32 years---almost one 'generation' by standard reckoning. 

      Republican Presidents: 16 years (50% of the time)

      Republican Congresses 20 years (62.5% of the time).

      7 of 9 current Supreme Court Justices appointed by Republicans (78%) Republican-appointed Chief Justices have held the position for the entire 32 years. 

     In 32 years, what do we have to show for this? Take any issue that Conservatives support: property rights, privacy rights, school choice, strengthening family and community, smaller government, pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, medical choice; name one of these that's gotten better because Republicans were in office. Yes, Trump accomplished a lot---by Executive Order. He couldn't get Obamacare repealed, end Federal abortion funding, or Infrastructure Bills passed through a Congress controlled by his own party. The Junta has since nullified most of Trump's Executive Orders. Trump, incidentally, did revoke some previous EO's: something Bush never bothered to do for 8 years. 

   One of these articles had to do with the latest hot-button topic on the Right: Critical Race Theory. The author of this piece gave a hypothetical scenario (as if he couldn't find a real one) about a parent going to a public school where his daughter (it certainly couldn't be a son in this story) was in trouble with the Bureaucracy for alleged 'hate speech.' He writes:

  "Far-fetched? Sadly, no. Much of this is already happening to one degree or another. Look at all these schools that conduct something called a “Privilege Walk.” This involves all students lining up and then taking steps forward or backward based on supposed privileges they have or are denied. These always include whiteness as a privilege. This divisive, racist event tells white kids that they did not earn their achievements and black kids that they were unfairly denied theirs.

   "This is all based on supposed systemic racism, which is the invention of the critical race theory (CRT) so much under discussion recently. Things like the Privilege Walk and antiracism training use the concept of systemic racism to call for changes to our systems that they now demand produce equity, i.e. equality of outcome. But that ignores the fatal flaw of CRT: it takes any disparate outcome for blacks and attributes it to systemic racism and eliminates any other possibilities for the difference."

   The main flaw with this statement isn't that it is untrue; it certainly is happening in our nation's public schools. The problem is that we could similar articles written by David Horowitz, Walter Williams, William Bennett, Thomas Sowell, William F. Buckley, and even Rush Limbaugh---like 25-30 years ago. I can recall reading about 'Privilege Walks' back in the 1990s. 

   When the Clinton Co-Presidency came to power in 1993, Hillary put her good friend Donna Shalala in charge of purging reforming public education. Clinton's Educational Policy Advisor was Johnnetta Cole---a Communist who'd actually been registered by the FBI as a foreign agent of the Cuban Government---and they all soon went to work radicalizing our school system. Variations of CRT started appearing back then. 

  This is one reason why I have no patience with Conservatives today who are squealing that "Whaaaaa! They're imposing Critical Race Theory! We could lose a generation of kids to these radicals! Whaaaaa!" The fact is that we've already lost one (the Millennials); we're about to lose another (Gen Z); and are on a trajectory to lose a third once today's toddlers start reaching Kindergarten age. And as far as I know to the contrary---despite 'school choice' and 'parental rights' being a Conservative position---nothing whatsoever has been done at the Federal level to rein in our out-of-control public schools since the mid-1980s. 

  The same author in the above piece had, in his hypothetical example, a futurist School Diversity Enforcement Officer. Every major public school district, college, and university has had positions like these for 20 years, at least. 

   

     

     

    Now tell us all again that Conservatives didn't know there was a problem, and that all of this radicalization just started with Biden. It's like all of this outcry about Drag Queen Story Hour. They have been going on since 2015. That's six years that Conservatives have had to do something about it; and they've done nothing. 

   I'm sorry if this sounds harsh; but if Conservative parents are complaining that their kids have grown into woke Leftist semi-adults, I have no sympathy for them. Homeschooling is legal in all 50 States, and only about 3% of the population were doing it before the school lockdowns. Conservative alumni keep dumping cash into universities that they know fully well are corrupt PC hell-holes. In fact, at most local PTA and School Board meetings the ones opposing garbage like CRT and Drag Queen Story Hours aren't even parents anymore: they're typically there because they're concerned about their grandchildren. 

   The point here is that if Conservative parents don't care enough to take responsibility for their offsprings' education, then there's really no purpose in debating or discussing whatever nonsense they're being taught. They know that homeschooling is better; they know that there are alternatives to public education; they know that public schools at all levels are controlled by criminals, perverts, and Left-Wing fanatics, and yet they continue sending their children there. Agreed: Critical Race Theory is absurd and Drag Queen Story Hour is just sick. But if you willingly put your children into the hands of these monsters, then the consequences are your own fault. 

   If Conservatives are so concerned with what our kids are being indoctrinated with taught; then they need to put away the drugs and spend at least as much time actually interacting with and teaching their kids as they do cucking their spouses on hook-up sites. They need to spend more time thinking about what kinds of people their universities are granting doctoral degrees to than which of the 50 or so bowls the football team might go to next year. In other words, do something instead of spouting fake outrage. The only thing most kids are learning in Conservative homes is what a bunch of hypocrites, poseurs, and parasites the Right is made up of---and that is driving them into 'woke' Leftism even faster than the schools are doing.
